In the most professional, unprofessional podcast and your number one source for drunk facts. This dream chest is a motherfuckiezerger park. Where every day is New Year's Eve. It's time. Drink up, motherfucker.

Starting point is 00:01:08 This is hands-down, one of the top producers, one of the top artist's development persons in the world. The man has took people from nobody and made them superstars. Not once, not twice, not three times. I'm talking about over 10 times.
Starting point is 00:01:24 He was the guy with The go-to hits at one point, if you didn't have a JD record, you just wasn't lit. Atlanta on his back, too. Oh, yeah, he definitely put Atlanta on his back. Lanna's running hip-hop. Right now, we got motherfucking one of my favorite producers in the world. Jermaine DePrie, JD Mixova! Chris Cross just turned 25, the album, just turned 25.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Yeah. Like, how is that? How do that feel? Um, it don't feel like it's 25. No, but it's crazy because, you know, like, that's, that's, um, I never thought it would even be something that people even care about. Right. You know what I mean? So for people to still care about it and, you know, that's my, that's my history.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Right. And they're grown folks now. Yeah, one of them passed away. Chris Kelly. Yeah. Oh, word. Yeah. Chris Kelly passed away.
Starting point is 00:02:20 God bless. God bless. So, um, now, J.D., you have such a, like, a remarkable reputation. Like, you worked with you worked. you work with kids, yet you've never had no allegations of doing no crazy shit. Like, you know, no R. Kelly shit around you at all. This shit is super
Starting point is 00:02:36 clean. Like, people give you that kids. People give you, you know, people give you, Jemaine, their kids. They say, oh, look, take my kid and make them a star. Please, this shit is real. And you never, like, like, you know, I pay attention to the room just because I'm in the same industry.
Starting point is 00:02:51 You have a clean reputation. There's nothing. Like, you just, you're just really there to make stars. Yeah, I guess. And how is that, though? Like, how is that? Because I can see, like, I can see the change in Bawa. Like, I was too young to see Chris Cross, right?
Starting point is 00:03:08 But, you know, on Bawa, I would go backstage and I would see you guys, and I seen him go from, like, a kid to an actual grown man. Now, how is that to see the transition when you see people? I mean, you know, it's really funny is that when you speak about the kids. I only ever worked with two-kid artists. Chris Cross and Bowler. That's enough.
Starting point is 00:03:29 But everybody thinks I work with, that's all I work with. But, yeah, so, I mean, really, both of them just watching them grow up. You know what I mean? It's like, it's like having a kid, you know what I mean? Like, you see them and you watch them. And the brat was quote on course. She was a teen. Yeah, they all was teenagers.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Everybody was a teenager. Jagged Edge. Everybody's been teenagers. And you started young, too. You was dancing with Houdini in this. She 12. Yeah. Oh, damn.
Starting point is 00:03:53 That's hip hop right there. That's hip hop right there. That's a real idea, man. So you, like, you an outcast to me was, like, the first people, like, stepping up for Atlanta, showing people that, because at this time... And for the South. At this time, but you're from Miami, he's from Atlanta. I'm from New York.
Starting point is 00:04:15 At this time, us in New York, we always thought it was like, bammers, and y'all was slow, and then you came out with your music, Outcast came into the music, And we realized, oh, they're pretty much the same as us just with a little accent. Yeah. But how do you feel like seeing Atlanta be at the forefront of hip hop now? You ever thought this day would come? I mean, I think it's amazing because I, um, Chris Cross was actually the first, you know, rappers to bring platinum music to Atlanta, basically as far as the rap goes.
Starting point is 00:04:48 You know, there's a bass artist coming out of Atlanta, too. Yeah, I mean, all of the soul-so-devahs. All of So Dev Bass All-Stars was my artist too. But I'm saying as far as, like, you know, Chris Cross's first album, they sold 8 million records. You know what I mean? So it's like they was the first people in Atlanta to create what y'all see right now. Hold on. You can't just say 8 million records like that.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Let's make your noise with 8 million records like that. How old was you at that time? I was 17. What? You sold 8 million records and said, God damn. Let's make some noise for him. Yeah. I don't even know how to...
Starting point is 00:05:26 I don't even know to count back. That's just a lot of money at 17. So was it ever a time where you went, like, you realize that, you know, you're not yourself no more. Like, you got Hollywood basically ever once? No, no, no, because, you know, I had this...
Starting point is 00:05:41 I always had people that seemed like they didn't, you know, they wanted to check me, you know, because I was so young. Right. So I always had to deal with the young thing. Like, I'm a young. nigger so everybody think they got one up on me. So I was always out here to just try to prove myself constantly over and over again.
Starting point is 00:06:01 So like when I was mixing, I was excited like that one day, what you're talking about. Like I was I was on my Hollywood shit at the studio and I was excited. Crisscross was number one and Bruce Springston was like number two. That's crazy right there. We was popping for hip-hop. And I was running around the studio just really excited. And I was like the first day. day I met Babyface and Babyface was at the studio and he came in and he was like I was like
Starting point is 00:06:29 oh shit it's baby face I was like yeah what's up and he's like yeah you you got that little record jump huh jump jump jump let me like daddy make it jump jump and daddy Macon make it you I think it's too young over there go ahead I'm sorry I'm sorry I had a moment he hit me with the you little record and I'm like little record nigga we're popping like that's why I was at but then he hit me with the you know yeah you got a record, this pop was good, right? But he didn't really seem like, it didn't seem like I did nothing to him. Now, was that towards you, or was that towards rap, period.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Not that was towards me, I think. Okay, cool. I felt like it was towards, I don't know. We're taking it like that. You know, and he was just like, you know, as a producer, songwriter, you know, that don't really mean nothing until you can do it multiple times.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Like, yeah, more to prove. When he said that, my Hollywood shit went out of the window, like, okay, Babyface just tried to stun on me. Right. I got to get this nigga back. Right. I got to go working, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:07:28 So I just, from that point on, I just start, like, focusing on putting out more and more artists. I wasn't even thinking about nothing else, Hollywood or nothing. Right, right. Just let's go. All right. That's real right there. Now, I got to ask you about this line. Tretz said, I got to see, be with Jermaine because he owes me for the jump shit.
Starting point is 00:07:46 What did he, what was he talking about? I don't know. You don't know. You don't remember that? He never got, did he ever get paid? I don't know. I'm asking. I think so.
Starting point is 00:07:54 But you don't even, what was that about? No, you know, like, everybody thought I stole that song. Everybody wanted to say I stole a song from somebody. Like, I don't know why, but, you know, it's just like, like I said, when you, when you young, is a young producer, young artist rapping, and hip hop at that particular point in time, young niggas was getting the, like, the straight son. Like, nah, nah, nah, we're letting y'all in. Then the record got super big.
Starting point is 00:08:23 And it was like, oh shit, they end. What are we going to do? Right. So then it was like House of Pains. Right. Did the records come out the same year? No. Jump came before House of Payne record.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Oh, wow. But they think that they... What was House of Paine record? Jump around. Okay, all right, cool. They said that the label, because we signed a roughhouse, and Joe Niccolo basically, Joe the butcher, basically signed us.
Starting point is 00:08:48 It was his label. So I think they thought that... Joe played their version of the song for me, and then I went and redid it. You know, people just trying to find shit all the time. And, you know, and then Nardi, they did jump, but they did something before they did... I don't remember doing these jump.
Starting point is 00:09:08 OPP? No, they didn't. Yeah, before they did OPP, they used to do this jump thing on stage. Oh, it was a part of their act. Like, there's a part of the act, right? So, you know, they felt like I took that from the song as well. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Did you ever get together and talk about a squashet or anything? I mean, me and KG was cool all the whole time. You know, Tretch just was like Tretch. Just that time. It was just Tretch. Translation. Oh, yeah. Oh, he was like that back then.
Starting point is 00:09:32 I didn't know. We didn't know. It was all good. Yeah. Now, recently, we had the Hip Hop Ironers Awards, right? Yeah. Now, they say I'm a hater because they never invite me, right? But that's not what I'm bringing up right now.
Starting point is 00:09:45 But you are. But they don't invite me, right? Let's just throw that out there. I got to invite you all you. But let me just say something. The only part of the show is, you're going to invite me. The only part of the show you. show was, I didn't appreciate
Starting point is 00:09:54 you a masterpiece sharing that moment. I felt like you needed, you needed your own moment. I felt like he needed his own moment. Is that... Well, I mean, you know, it's my second time being honored. So I think that they was like, I think probably, I don't know, VH1
Starting point is 00:10:10 if they, you know, if they even thought about that. I did it before where I really, you know, Merepuff performed. Bowat did crisscross, franchise boys. I did like a whole big performance, before when I was on it the first time. So I think this time they was just really trying to like show which labels they felt like from the South.
Starting point is 00:10:32 It wasn't really about me per se. It was about the labels. So that's why I think we shared it was really like what labels they feel like put light in the South. Okay, you could be humble. I'm not going to be humble for you. You deserve your own moment. They should have had you out there.
Starting point is 00:10:45 They should have had a salute the whole So-So-So depth. Sometimes they were mixing songs. They had big, you know, big, Fat Joe and Remy Maugh performed with Trip Daddy. Yeah, it was like they did like a moniker. Like it made no sense. It's like I feel like I feel like hip hop deserves more. Not to diss the hip hop honors at all,
Starting point is 00:11:04 but we deserve more. I felt like that whole moment should have been a so-so deaf moment. Yeah. It should have been like, like, I felt like your artist should have came out and performed for you. You know what I'm saying? At that moment, like all the artists are people that were just fans of you. Like even like, you know, I notice it's throwing it out there,
Starting point is 00:11:19 but even like a Jay-Z you're going to come out and, you know, do with money. the thing with one of the new young artists. I just felt like they could have did better more because for us going all these years, we were not celebrated. Now we're living in a times where it's social media, so
Starting point is 00:11:34 we can celebrate it. And another thing, this is what I want to tell you. What I want to tell you? If what was our guys' names? You know where I'm going? A rap radar. Oh, okay. He was disgusting. He said you wasn't
Starting point is 00:11:50 top 10 producer. He got a game I got a GEDA I said yo I don't understand He got to relax He got to relax I wanted you to walk out of the interview
Starting point is 00:12:02 I'm not even a hater But I was just like JD leave Like you all hands down Like listen There was times where You know labels would It was sit around
Starting point is 00:12:13 They'd be like You need a Jermaine de Pre-record Like this is real shit Yeah And I'm talking about People had to come And then like What's you're
Starting point is 00:12:21 What Jay said? He said, I'm even make your shit tighter. There was a time where you really had to come to see you in order to make a hit. Like, you defined the word hit record. No. Do you believe? You know you believe that.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I think that's a hard, like, I carry that. That's hard. Yeah, you did. So I never really try to pay too much attention to that. Right, right. Somebody come to you, yeah, they come and trying to get a hit record. You know that. It's not even no room for me to even like,
Starting point is 00:12:50 just be cool and do it. anything. It's like, oh, God, they want, they want this, they want that, they want this. I got to try to get this again. Right. You know what I noticed and maybe you can help me with this, that if you kind of maintain being a producer, you won't ever
Starting point is 00:13:05 fall off. Like at some point they're going to get tired of the artist because he's the front man. But if you're producing records and you know how to do it and you maintain a certain, a producer can never fall off. Is that true? No, no, you can. If you start, like, copying your sound.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Copying your sound. Your sound. Your sound. You know, like when people, like, people will come to me and say, I got a new artist, I want to give me a same kind of record. Give me some of them Usher records that you got. And I'm like, no, I'm not, I'm never going to do that. Like, I would always try to stay away from that. That was way my job even harder, basically.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Because I crisscross sound like Chris Cross. Mariah Carey sound like Mariah. Usher sound like this. Brant sound like this. Nobody records sounded like I took this and gave it to this person. You know what I mean? I couldn't do that. Did you ever have to be in the studio,
Starting point is 00:13:53 Mariah Carey said a wrong vocal and you had to tell her, do it better? No, she's probably like, she's... I would be scared of that. I'm like, she's fucking up, she's, she's not that artist. She's cold in the studio. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:06 She knows exactly what she want to do. She's telling me, like, sample this, nigga, this. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she hip-hop. She's hip-hop like a motherfucker. Yeah, yeah. Now, now you worked with Jay.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Jay made a, I'm gonna ask you just random them industry stuff. Jay made this album 4444 right now. Now, had I would have loved that album and 25, what I would have loved it at 35, I'm 40, I just turned 40. I love it. But is it because I'm 40,
Starting point is 00:14:40 or is it because it's just a great body of work? You love it because Jay's rapping. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? Right. He's rapping. Right. That's what you're going in.
Starting point is 00:14:51 He's going to hit JZ rap. He's rapping. Right, right. Like, he's giving niggas. He's throwing shots. He's doing what we wanted to hit JZ do. And then, then on a different level, like the way No ID chopped these samples up, it's like, this is new music, by the way. The music sounds like nothing else that ever came out.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Right, right. So you should love it. If you love hip-hop, you should be, you should cherish this album because it does. doesn't sound like anything else that's out. And it made him seem like he wasn't trying to sound like that sound, neither. Like so many, it hurts me sometimes when we have legendary artists who are legends. They don't need nothing to add on to their career. And they go to try to, you know, get the new future sound or the new oozy verse.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I always kind of like hate that because it's like you don't always have to be the same, but you can always just stay in that realm. And with Jay did was completely opposite. It was just like he just did him. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that album was cold to me. Like I said, I think that from a production standpoint, I think it was genius that he went and found one producer.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Right. Like, nobody else has been doing that recently. Right. They just did something that was just like a mindset of separate than what's going on in the game right now. You think the way he released the music also has something to do with him having the luxury to be able to do that album the way he did it.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Like, you know, putting it out through the phones and not having to worry about certain, you know, expectations of release the records the way it used to be. I don't. I think he had a responsibility that people was holding it to him. Like, niggas wanted Jay-Z to come out and rap. Like, yo, let's hear Jay-Z. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And Jay-Z, let's hear Jay-Z in a way that none of these other little young rappers could, let's make sure that they don't sound like they could even come nowhere around him, right? He did that. He basically set that tone. Like, yo, this what y'all do, this what I do. All right. Any given time, y'all want to come over here? All right.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Y'all got to get your shit right. All right, all, right. Now, let me ask you a question. As a producer, right? You ever gotten to a studio? Mr. Lee, can you pop one of these bottles? Pop it over there because you know you're not that skilled. Have you ever been in a studio with an artist, any artist?
Starting point is 00:17:07 It doesn't have to be hip-hop. And they just didn't deliver and it turned you off? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Let's talk about it, J.D. Oh, man. I mean, it's happened a bunch of times.
Starting point is 00:17:24 It's happened a bunch of times. I won't say that it turned me off. It's just a learning lesson for me, right? Be careful. That's hot. What is that? It's a rose. I guess one of the, one of the, one of the, I guess one of the ones that really shocked me the most was that, um,
Starting point is 00:17:48 Whitney Houston I was in the studio with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesus. I told you, Gamma, they lost. On Q, too. Look, that was Whitney right there. Yeah, that's what I'm saying? Whitney said, who!
Starting point is 00:18:00 Put some respect in my name. Good at, J.D., you was in the studio with Whitney. Yeah, so, good. My cadence of writing is, I'm a rapper. So I write songs like rap records. Right. So I try to get the artist to sing, like, rappers. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:18:19 So if you listen, like, Usher, he basically sounds like he's rapping when he's singing these songs. So my cadence... Hey, yo, EFN. What's good, man? Man, you know, these days, man, Stamps.com is making the trip very short for you. That's right, but these days you can get practically everything on demand. That's right, man. So who's still going to the post office when you get it on demand and come to your crib, pick it up and all at Stamps.com.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Buy and print official U.S. postage for any letter or package using your own computer and printer. And unlike the post office, Stamps.com never closes, so you can get postage whenever you need it 24-7. See, I use Stamps.com to deliver, you know, expensive jewelry to deliver. to deliver my cats, you know, food, to deliver my dogs and toenails. I do things like that with Stamps.com. Yeah, man, you know, I just don't want to deal with the lines at the post office. I love the post office, but, man, if I could just use Stamps.com, it's going to save me a lot of time, a lot of headache,
Starting point is 00:19:11 and just a lot of time I could be doing other things, you know? So right now, use our name for this special offer as champs. C-H-A-M-P-S. Tell them, E-F-N-F-F. Four-week trial includes postage and digital scale. Don't wait. Go to Stamps.com before you do anything else. click on the radio microphone at the top of the homepage and type in champs.
Starting point is 00:19:30 That's stamps.com enter champs. Stamps.com never go to the post office again. That's champ. C-H-A-M-P-S. Drink champs, baby. Let's do it. A lot of times, these older artists, they can't really catch the cadence. And that was really shocking to me.
Starting point is 00:19:47 That was like a learning lesson to me that let me know that what I was doing was something that was younger, I guess. Innovative mental. I don't know. Whatever you want to call it. I had Whitney Houston in the studio, I wrote a song for her, and she couldn't catch my cadence. And I was like, I was really fucked up
Starting point is 00:20:05 because it's Whitney Houston. I'm like, she's the best singer in the world. But she can sing, but that, that cadence just wasn't, that wasn't what she was used to. So it didn't really, it didn't, like, make me like, I hate this artist, but it really let me understand that what I was doing was something different
Starting point is 00:20:25 than what they was used. too. Right. Now have you ever had an artist get Hollywood on you? So I look this is to you man. Right now this is JD J.D. Jermaine DePree. I don't know what to call them call them both. It was today. All night, God damn it. We celebrate your life. We celebrate your career. And we're celebrating
Starting point is 00:20:40 you. Make some noise. God damn. Like, I have you ever got our artist Get Hollywood on you? Like, you know, come to the session late. Come there and just not perform and just, you know what I mean? Just, you know, drink some Hennessy. And you're like, man,
Starting point is 00:20:56 I remember you from the beginning and now you just you know what I mean No I ain't never I mean not Because I'm you know like I'm really When it comes to the studio shit
Starting point is 00:21:06 I'm really like I'm way different Than any other producer Like I don't like I don't like people in the studio When I'm working I don't be with the girls in the studio I don't be with none of that
Starting point is 00:21:18 I'm trying to get the work done Right So a lot of people don't really A lot of artists they don't even They think my shit is too Like cookie cups But, I mean, that's how I do. That's how I've been doing forever, right?
Starting point is 00:21:29 And so it's really, like, straight to the point when I go to the studio. I don't really have nobody come, like, too loose. Right. I mean, I'd have had situations in the studio. That's crazy, though. Right. Let's get to it. Let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Let's talk about it, Jack. I mean, I thought about this one on the way over here, and I never told nobody about this. I know you wanted this story. Yes, please, I wanted it. Yes, I don't know what it is, but I wanted, God damn. Let's go. I was in the studio of big, right? The first time I ever seen Biggie,
Starting point is 00:21:58 ever seen anybody not write their lyrics down. This is before, this is before money and it day. Keep it real. I don't want to cut it because I'm definitely not cutting another story. But isn't it scary to see a motherfucker
Starting point is 00:22:10 and just go like this in their head? They'd be like, that's how people write rhymes without, they'd be like, and it's like, yo, the first time you're going even further. Big never mouth, nothing. Oh, okay, damn. Big would do, big as smoke,
Starting point is 00:22:24 10 blunts. listen to the beat and never mouth one time he's not even bobbing neither I mean he'll be bobbing oh okay but he never was like that's crazy never not one time I'll sit there and watch them
Starting point is 00:22:39 I'm like I gotta see how you do this because by the way I wasn't doing this I was still writing my rapids on paper but I saw this firsthand by him and I'm like I gotta learn how to do this shit like what is what how do you know how to do that shit How do you, yeah, I don't write nothing there.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I don't write anything now. Oh, yeah. I'm a special education student. I'm like, how. So, and he don't even, he's not talking to you by the way, by, what he's doing this.

Starting point is 00:32:02 It's smooth. It's smooth. It's smooth. I didn't get that, that regickeet. No, you know what it is? It's that salt, that tequila rings, that salt that tape. That's the shit that I hate, because it reminds me of Mexico. Like, when I was, like, just, just, just, dude, I just woke up in Mexico.
Starting point is 00:32:14 That's, on ice is good, then. I know. On ice is good. I mean, call period. This is, this is, you know. You could sit. That's when I hear that beer, tequila sip. I never understood it, but now I get it.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Now, let me ask you, J.D., what's your favorite era in hip-hop? Um. I like that, right? I like that was good. I like him. He's thinking about the questions. I'm getting better, bro. I got these thinking about the questions.
Starting point is 00:32:41 You know what I'm saying? No, because that's a good question, though, right? It is. I got to pick myself up. I think, like, for me, it was probably like, um. Say the 90s. The last part of the 80s. Um, fuck me up with that one.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Now, last part of the 80s. Because of hip-hop or because of music in general? Hip-hop. Okay. A subscribe that era. Who's the man? We're talking about Rock Kim. No, we're talking about Run.
Starting point is 00:33:08 No, no, this is Kane. I'm talking about Run DMC. My DMC, okay. I'm talking about Big Daddy Kane coming into the game. Now, what Kane? We're talking about Kane with the, with the, with the, three. Cain, messed it with Madonna. No, that's not, that's, that's Hollywood King.
Starting point is 00:33:21 That's Hollywood King. That was later. I'm talking about Fort Green Kane. Oh, green game. Yeah, yeah. When he had the best four fingers. That's your favorite era in hip hop. That's my favorite era.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I mean, because I'm, you see, I got this rope on. Right. I'm into that. That's my, you know, Slick Rick is my favorite rapper of all time. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Slick Rick, we're looking for you. That's my idol. Dougie Fresh, too. I just found out that Slick almost shot Big Daddy came. On the bus.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Yeah. I just found that out. I just was talking about that. I was like, yo, it was like, yeah. You're trying to kill somebody
Starting point is 00:33:53 if you try to shoot them on a tour bus like right in, pow. Wow. Well, they're in the bus. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:33:59 they're both on the bus. Oh, shit. Because apparently, you know, sometimes when I do drink camps, I don't immediately go back and watch it. But whatever Eric Sherman said... Yeah, he said some...
Starting point is 00:34:09 He had... My phone is going crazy. I just changed my number. People are like, yo, look, and he missed this one. He missed this. And I'm like, you know, he's describing the EPMD, had problems with rock here.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Back in the days, you know, they're all cool now. But I had, didn't know that because I was a spectator at that time. I'm just from the sideline. I didn't even really technically come out to 97. You know what I mean? So be looking at that, and so many people was calling, like,
Starting point is 00:34:33 and they told me that. story that Slick Rick actually had beef with Big Daddy Kane and actually pulled the gun out and tried to shoot him. Yeah, yeah. And then they told me that Kane and Raq Kim had beep. Well, you're just listen, I got to save it for when they have. Let's be back to Jay. We're going to have Big Daddy Kane soon
Starting point is 00:34:48 and Rock Kim as well. So, Bob, what is your favorite era in hip-hop? The 90s. 90s? On top, yeah. Just goddamn make some noise to Bow Wow, God damn. Now, why you picked that era? Because I was like the era where I first fell in love with hip hop. Any specific in the 90s, the mid, the late.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Anywhere from like 93 to like 96, 93, 97. That's my favorite era. Yeah. It's like I ain't got a chance to really live through the 80s. You know, I had to YouTube all the shit, the good shit that was going on in the 80s, but the 90s I lived that.
Starting point is 00:35:20 You know what I mean? That was pro, pop, snow, all, W, way, everything. See, for me it was just the most, the creative, the creative era of hip-hop was the best. It was like people was trying to do something, trying to do something different.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Yeah, but in the public enemy, too, we got to mention them as well. Like, even in the 90s, we got to say that even when you came out with original style, there was versions of fake Wu-Tangs, there was versions of fake mob deeps, there was versions of fake MOPs. So, like, the copy me style that people are doing now, like, I can't say that it didn't exist in the 90s. But it didn't fly in the 90s. Oh, no, no, no, you got checks for that. It flies now.
Starting point is 00:35:55 You got checks for that. It didn't fly in the 90s. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so that, I mean that era, like, you know, just, like, identifying all brands, Adidas and, like, what was going to be what niggas wear to the future, like,
Starting point is 00:36:11 just seeing that. And being able to, like, you ask that question and being able to go back and look and say which one I really like, it was that era way where people was really like, this is what y'all going to wear down the road, this what's going to be. You know what I mean? Like, that's why
Starting point is 00:36:27 Chris Cross, to me, was so fly to people because they had They had all of that flavor And was like How did you discover them? In the mall Walking through the mall in Atlanta You just heard them rhyming?
Starting point is 00:36:41 They wasn't rapists mall They wasn't rappers at all They never rap Oh so you just say you guys are gonna rap Yeah Lennox mall? No green rock Okay green rye
Starting point is 00:36:49 Yeah Did you ever cut them The mall a check? Never right Did you hear what he said They weren't rappers They weren't rap Oh it was his idea
Starting point is 00:36:57 They were rapping at the mall So you just You just the aura They was in the mall and they just looked like like grown-ass men at 11 and 12. They was in foot locker. Were they already rocking the backwards joints?
Starting point is 00:37:11 And they was just shopping and they was buying sneakers. And I thought it was a group that already came out that I ain't know nothing about it. Because the girls in the mall was tripping. Like they had girls at the store buying them shit and all kinds of stuff. And I'm like, who are these little guys?
Starting point is 00:37:28 Right. And I walked up to them like, what do y'all do? We don't do nothing. We just keep. kick it. And I'm like, y'all just kick it. Right. What I mean? And like, they had so much swag. I was just like, they got to make a record.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Somebody got to do you got to do something. Right. I mean, I seen it immediately. Like, they had this, they just had this aura about them. And then we went back. Once I met him, I mean, we talked, then we went to that, we went back to my house and we started creating the idea. And then it was like, everything was about gear. Like, everything was about wearing clothes and starters and all, like, whatever, Floss.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Cross colors. Yeah, all that. Everything was about wearing clothes. Pepe. Everything. Not Pepe. Yeah. It was high at one point, Jay.
Starting point is 00:38:08 I ain't fucking with him. I ain't fucking with him. It's town of Spanish, so I had to be down with it. You know what I'm having? But go ahead. Damn, Pepe wasn't high, for real? No, no. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:38:17 I'm sorry, I continue. I got it. So we was, we was, they was just trying to figure out clothes and there was like, one day, um, Leliski and Chris, Chris Smith came to the house, and he had this big ass job on. And then, The jumper was so big that you could actually spin around it and not even, like, it was so big. It was like the oversized.
Starting point is 00:38:39 So I was like, I was like, yeah, this shit flipped it around backwards. Because it was already so big and it didn't make no, it wouldn't make no difference anyway. It couldn't tell. And our barometer was the mall. You know what I mean? I found him at the mall, so we was going to go back to the mall and see if this works. So he put his jump on backwards and we went to Lenny Square. And we went to Lenny Square with, no, they still had no record.
Starting point is 00:39:00 They still had a record I went to Lennie Square He had his jump on backwards And the whole mall was acting like They never seen nothing like this ever They're not famous They're not even famous And I'm like
Starting point is 00:39:10 What the fuck just happened How is this possible But what were people doing? They was just like Oh my God what is this What y'all got on I'm like it's just a regular ass jumper Turned around backwards
Starting point is 00:39:21 Was it cross color? No it was Jibol Oh Jibol Okay You remember Jibon's And they was freaking out So then from that point I was like
Starting point is 00:39:30 Okay, we're going to wear our clothes backwards. What? We still ain't have no song, though. Why? So it's like, we got to get a song to go with this. If I get a hit record to go with this, y'all are gone. That's what I just kept telling them. Like, it's over with it.
Starting point is 00:39:44 They ain't had braids or nothing. We just started, like, just trying to figure it out. Like, okay, I had braes. Real artist development here. Yeah, you know what I mean? So it was just, it was like, just really just like trying to end. And left eye from TLC. That was my group before they got signed in the face.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Oh, too. So left eye was. living at my house. That's great. And so it was me. Just drink some all day. Yeah, because he's going in there. You're saying some shit.
Starting point is 00:40:09 You go on there, baby. Please drink some home. Yeah, so left I was living at my house. Without my mother even knowing she lived in, she lived inside my house. Before TLC. Yeah, before TLC was my group. They was called Second Nature. But when she lived with you, though, and left eye.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Okay. But left I stayed with me. And she was on the, like, trying to get an image thing all of time, like the patches and the condoms and all that shit. We was there every day just trying to, we was doing shit to ourselves that, like, cut our whole eyebrows off. Like, we was doing crazy shit just to try to be, like, figure out what we could come up with to be, to stand out.
Starting point is 00:40:44 And she was partially part of helping me, you know, develop crisscross at that. Now, I've seen you on a reality show. I forget which one it was, but they brought you a white kid. And I think he sung for you and you said, this kid has talent immediately, right? and I imagine that's how you felt because that's how you just described Chris Quartz you seen them and you knew it have you ever been wrong
Starting point is 00:41:06 and said I don't see it and then the person goes and blows up yeah oh damn man damn my nigga good ahead man good bad what's going on I want to see it out listen I want to see what you say
Starting point is 00:41:20 I wasn't wrong okay but I the people around me was wrong okay let's get to it right so so because I didn't know what you mean just now Sounds like a Trump answer. It did sound like a Trump answer, Jay.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Like John Madden, I don't know what year it was. You're going to sign John Madden? 2000. John Madden, 2000. This was the first time they wanted to put rap music in the video game. They never had rap music in the video games. So they came to me, they was like, yo, we want you to make an intro for John Madden.
Starting point is 00:41:53 And I ain't had no artist. I mean, I had artists, but I didn't think that my artist was, like, animated enough. And right, it was this guy. was on the radio name Chris Lovell Lovell. Right? And he was making these animated-ass commercial-sounding radio things. I know what this is going on.
Starting point is 00:42:08 So I went and got him. He was in my neighborhood. I went and got him. I said, yo, I'm going to put you on this John Madden video game. And I basically signed him at that point. Like, you know, I co-signed Lewis Lovell Lovell. Right? And he was on the John Madden.
Starting point is 00:42:24 They sold whatever, you know, went on John Madden. That shit popped. and at that point I went back to my office and I asked everybody in my office I say, yo, we should sign ludicrous and everybody told me no
Starting point is 00:42:39 but he was Chris level level at the time He was Chris level level And everybody, the whole staff told you know Everybody was like It's animated It ain't really
Starting point is 00:42:46 We don't know what that's gonna be But animation rap was hot at that time Because we had Busted rhymes I always consider Bustin rhymes Some of an animated Red Man Some more of an animated Very very animated
Starting point is 00:42:56 I mean I was into it But at the same time, I was dancing between trying to be an executive and letting the people at my office actually do something. Wow. Right? So I asked people and they was like, no, we don't really know about that. And to this day, I'm mad because that was my art. Was he already rolling with Shaka at that time?
Starting point is 00:43:16 Huh? With Shaka? Yeah, of course. They've been together. Yeah. So, I mean, that's the only one. And I wasn't wrong because I used him. I already had put him on the John Mann.
Starting point is 00:43:26 So I knew what he was. I just didn't react like I should have. Fun fact. Hey, fun fact. I'm gonna jump at in 2002. Okay, goddamn. God damn. Bad Wai, you said you want to go in.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Come on, wow. I was waiting for you to light the blunt. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got your own broke, baby. We blew up, we enjoyed now. You can't look. The Barrock came to us. That's amazing, man, you know.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Bywa, we, we got new microphones. No, see. We're brand new, be. I was gonna say, um, it's a couple artists that JD could have songs. Don't tell me he was supposed to sign Gizi. No, no, no, no. I threw that out in the end.
Starting point is 00:44:04 No, no, no, no. What you got? What you got? Mo. What you got? Little Mo? No, no. Oh, you fuck. Early early on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Early early on. Yeah, yeah. Who brought him to you? Cool love. Yeah, cool to love from up above. Oh, I know, because y'all was cool. This is true. I know about what way to say.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Oh, shit. Wait, but, but it wasn't no signing, though. It was like, he brought him to me. Right. They came, but it wasn't never like, yo, I don't know, it just ain't never seemed like it was like that. No, but at that time I'll be honest, St. Louis
Starting point is 00:44:37 it's not even like back on the map. They weren't on the map at all. So it was a risk, because I remember telling penalty records, because he's a company of Kula Love. Koola Love had my homeboy who was my man, and now, I just met him back there. It was Pierre Cardin. Cardin. So
Starting point is 00:44:51 Kuda Love had brought Nellie to penalty records. And I heard this shit, and I was like, I said, yo, listen, I didn't know how to sign anything. You already had the record, too? If I could have signed, no, down, down, baby. You had that? I think he was shopping and dealing with that.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Yeah, I swear to go, I told Nill Levine, I was like, yo, I said, yo, I said, yo, listen, that's how I knew Nellie. If you listen to that first album, he shots me out two times on that album. I had knew him, because I went to the, because that's the same time, David Banner didn't, David Banner was signed to the penalty. And, Quaker Letters, excuse me, you're right. and they wouldn't give them a money for their budget so I said, what, take the money out of my budget
Starting point is 00:45:32 didn't know this guy was going to wind up being David fucking Banner years later but I told them motherfuckers with Nelly I said, yo look, I say, yo look, this is different see the thing is, a lot of times New York companies would think outside the box see me, I would go to these towns, I would go to St. Louis and I would go hang out
Starting point is 00:45:49 in the worst club, the shit, where they only see you cups like this and you order a bottle and they just bring you, they don't give you the box. They bring you this shit and get plastic. You're like, hold up. Then I order a bottle that, uh-uh, this is that type of place. Like, you can't have a bottle here.
Starting point is 00:46:05 And I was out there, St. Louis is real. Like, them shit, this was blood and cripping for real out there. I told the label, I said, yo, but so you had a chance to do it? I'm sorry. He saw, who he sold? 19 million? Yeah, I'm getting in. 30.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Right. 30 million? God damn. You know you got to be on the drink champs, too. Yeah. You know you got to be on. Yeah. That's all the line.
Starting point is 00:46:26 That's the only one. That's the only one? It seems like there was another one. But when I said GZ, about you, a little bit? No. But, all right, so let me ask you, speaking of GZ, let me ask you, Atlanta, you got, you guys got to see the BMF era, right? Like, the beat, like, that shit was big for us, because that was, like, modern day
Starting point is 00:46:46 Alpo, mine day rich. We've never seen, we've never heard of, like, these guys, like, those type of guys in the South. Like we've heard of like that in Harlem and the Bronx and Queens. So the first time like New York people was hearing a BMF, they're like, what the fuck? But you got, you got you too, right? You got to live that era. I lived in Atlanta at the time, but I don't think I was old enough to get into the club here.
Starting point is 00:47:11 But he ain't seen it. But remain. Right. I seen it. I seen it. I seen it. I seen it. I seen it actually come to life.
Starting point is 00:47:20 That's crazy. That's like the 50 cents. That's like the 50 cent. I hope that he really got the story the way it's supposed to be. Like, they should have called me. I seen the shit from scratch, like, day one. Like, before it was even, like, a crew like this, I seen. I know, you know, I'm a meet you used to be in the club, me.
Starting point is 00:47:40 We used to be in the club. And it was just, like, him and, like, one person. Matter of fact, I had a security guard that he took from me. My man, Big J, he took my security. And that was who he was rolling around. Atlanta with and then like he got this idea to just turn that shit into a gang and make it bigger than what what it was his help I'm gonna feel it'll be a rose even though I can't keep switching now yes I'm that's not listen this drink chance you I told you we don't want to show you what pop did on here we don't want to show you like
Starting point is 00:48:14 Jeffrey yeah he made a Jeffrey you know what that is he makes he mixed everything everything everything on here and put it in one cup I ain't a lot I die for 12 seconds. Like 12 seconds, I was like, what I was. We're gonna say? We're afraid of I should say. I'm coming.
Starting point is 00:48:31 I'm coming. Let me see. Jeffrey. No, you don't got to do that. You're not going to do that, J.D. Oh! Okay, that's, but this is fly, though. That's 1942.
Starting point is 00:48:42 What's that? He just made it. He just made it. That's the new grandma, yeah? Instead of grandma, yeah, you're bringing the rosettes. It's bad, though. It don't look bad, though. I can't even lie.
Starting point is 00:48:50 It looks good. This might be something right. So, New drink a lure. New drink a lure. Oh, shit. So now, I asked you your favorite ever, but what is the most fun you had in music? Me, the 80s. The 80s?
Starting point is 00:49:06 Yeah, because I mean. Well, you weren't really on in the 80s, were you? I was on tour. I was on tour. But, you know, for me, it was like, it's a story that nobody else, you know, I like, I like being a part of stuff that I can't share with. other people. You know what I mean? Like at 12 years old, I
Starting point is 00:49:26 I was... You realized it was a role. That's the end. I would realize some potter gold. I'm sorry. I don't know. Cooji rappers took over me. So sorry.
Starting point is 00:49:33 At 12, at 12 I've seen shit that like, niggas that's 50 ain't never even seen. You know what I mean? So it was like... Haitian people. That, that, that era for me just like, that's where I learned.
Starting point is 00:49:46 That's what I saw. You know what I mean? I was, I was... I was, um, I lost my virginity at 12. God damn. Go ahead. Go ahead, JD. Huh?
Starting point is 00:49:55 Go ahead, lady. Go ahead. You know, uh. I don't think we ever talk about virginity on drink camps. I like that. Let's go. Let's go. And you talk about ass here.
Starting point is 00:50:04 No, no. Oh, yeah. No, no. Oh, yeah. No, no. No, no. Oh, yeah. You want to buy a assing?
Starting point is 00:50:09 I don't even talk about that. Cool. Later on. But yeah. But yeah. That era just me running around and actually seeing, like you said, going to different cities and actually realizing that it's other stuff going on
Starting point is 00:50:23 besides where I was at right so that was just like the most fun for me it was just like I got a chance to actually really just like run around and see shit and be on tour
Starting point is 00:50:35 with Run DMC and Fat Boys Grandmaster Flash and Houdini at 12, 13, 14 years old I don't know what's better than that now as a person I could tell I know you love music
Starting point is 00:50:49 just from your dystography But was you ever frustrated with music? It was ever one time when you was like, man, fuck this shit. Yeah, as far as not frustrated with music, just frustrated with the fact that the way people looked at Atlanta. You know, like you said already about the BAMAS. I was catching that. I had a group before Crish Cross called Silk Times Leather.
Starting point is 00:51:13 It was two girls that was on Geffen. And they was like the girlfriends of Houdini. And I... In real life? Huh? Yeah, real life. L words? That's ill.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Yeah. You know, I'm saying. Like, I thought he'd get out as an example. No, no, no, no, no. You know what I mean? Like, female version of Houdini. Real life, they was the girlfriends of Houdini. And they happened to live in Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I met them on tour when I was young. And like, oh, you live in Atlanta? Yeah. Okay, well, shit, when I get back home, let's kick it. And now I got this idea about them. But when I was putting out their records, I used to go to New York and have to get my record to, like, red lurt and Chuck Chill out.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And I, I remember. I remember Chuck Chillout saying like, man, I can't really play this country shit. Right. Oh, wow. Like, something like that. Wow.
Starting point is 00:51:59 And I just was like, that's when I really like, oh, I'm going to make this nigga, he's going to change his words. But is that how you developed, like, being global? Because, like, when you hear a Jermaine the Pre record, it's like, it's for everybody. Yeah, yeah, that's what it was. I didn't want to be stuck like that.
Starting point is 00:52:20 You know what I mean? Because I felt like, like I said, I was the one taking the hardest shots. Outcasts weren't out when Crish Cross came out. You know what I mean? They weren't even even... They actually Outcast told me... They tried to sign a social death.
Starting point is 00:52:32 That's one group that I didn't... I never did. Oh, KD, man, we got to take a shot to that. Wait a minute. Hold on time. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:52:39 You had a chance to sign an out of care? But I ain't know. Okay. They said it was calling my office, but I don't, you know. It wasn't ever no meeting like that. Right. They just called. Oh, so they didn't have a buzz in the neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I would think... Because back then, that's how hard to everybody would be. Atlanta was trying to get that. Like, no, no, but I'm saying artists back then, you had to have, like, a buzz in your actual neighborhood before you even got to any offices anywhere. So I would think Outcast had, like, a buzz in, like, a local hood. I mean, I'm finding out a bunch of, like, Flo Riders was with us last night. Floor Rada also told me that he came to Atlanta, came to my office, and tried to get me to sign him.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Right. And I never met him at that time. So, you know, so there's a lot of that going on. But anyway, like, Chris Crush was the first rap group to go in, like I said from, a platinum standpoint. So it wasn't nobody else there. So we was taking all of the heat as like, you know, these little young niggas,
Starting point is 00:53:28 country niggas from Atlanta, blah, blah, blah, blah. And we was getting that. So I was just determined to like, you know, change people's mind from that place. Right. So after Chris Cross, you went into a female from Chicago, how did you link up with the brag?
Starting point is 00:53:50 How did that have? Well, Escape came after Chris Grant. Ooh. I apologize. Yeah, yeah, you got Chris. Okay, let's go to the skate. Then we go to the Brake. Escape came first.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Escape came first. Okay. And Escape, they came to my birthday. I had a birthday party in, like, my neighborhood. And they came and they sung happy birthday to me. But you knew the group or somebody brought them to them? Yeah. Got Ian Burke, he brought him to my house and let him sing happy birthday to me.
Starting point is 00:54:18 I didn't even had no label at this time. They came and sang. and I told him that day, like, yo, when I'm going to get a, I said, I'm going to get a label deal. When I get a label deal, I'm going to sign y'all as my first group. That's what I told them. And he probably didn't believe me or whatever, whatever, but it did happen. That's what happened. So that's what, you know, the escape story.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Like, that's, they sang in my birthday. And they lit right now. One of them is a housewife. The other one is a housewife. And, yeah, they're lit. They're lit. They're getting it out there. And they get it back together right now.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Yeah, they're back together That shit is good Yeah I think I think I think music I think music should be able to do music Until you can't

Starting point is 00:58:47 A good story. It's good to be a sex drive. It's an early. Like, they say that there's people that break up in the morning, they take a shot of that, they clean up, go to work, and they come back home, and they take a shot of that. Because it gets you up, and then hustle put your ass to sleep. Look at Bada.
Starting point is 00:59:01 It's supposed to be an affidavitia. It's not like you walk around like the Vagra did. You know, like the Vagra shit, where you be knocking shit down. It's not that. It's like, but if you play the game, you'll be ready. It's an ancient shot of your secret. If you have, if you happen to play the game, you'll be ready. You can go all that.
Starting point is 00:59:19 I might need another one there. No more, no more. Okay. That shit is nasty. At least it's not the version with real time. So let me ask you something. Let's get a little real right now because you did multiple records with Big.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Was after Big Pass did it, did it. Because I don't think in hip-hop we would have thought that, first off that, like using Big's lyrics that we wouldn't have thought hip-hop would have made it this far. And now that hip-hop has.
Starting point is 00:59:58 We wouldn't have thought that hip hop where actually you could actually die in hip hop. How did your life change after that? Um,
Starting point is 01:00:10 I don't, I mean, I'm in it. I've been in it since I was 12, so it just feels like the dirt that I come from. Right. I've seen way more shit
Starting point is 01:00:20 than just, you know, the big issue. I mean, I was, the craziest part about Biggs' death is that I was in the truck before I had got in the truck

I wouldn't even invite it. I wasn't thinking about it like that. But the whole night went, the party was great. beautiful party, everybody had a good time.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Then we went to this after party. We went to the after party. I guess Puff and Shug had some kind of like saying, said something to each other before whatever at my party. So when they got to this after party, Shug came to the club.

Don't, say rapper, they want to pull you over, go through your shit. Yeah, rap. Yo, you listen. Rapper, we, what else he probably, man, pulled them off.
Starting point is 01:36:50 You know, at one point, I'm gonna be honest. I've been down. My first hour was 97. So from 97 to like, what would be in 20? No, no, no, no. My first solo album was in 1998. Oh, then released. Okay, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:37:05 So first release was Capona, Noriega, 97. So I remember it was one point, you would say I'm a rapper, and the police would be like, yo, yo, get this nigga, an ass court. Then you say you're a rap, I'm like, what? They pull out more. Oh, my God. Oh, shit. Yo, I seem to error shift.
Starting point is 01:37:31 So, like, when I sit down, the person that asks me what I do, I just be cautious. I'm like, I don't know if he's a Trump supporter. I don't know where this is going. I had that one time, but I had to fix that. Okay, tell me now. You know, like, the magazine that's on the airport?
Starting point is 01:37:48 Mm. the um the shit you shot from because yeah they get me all the time I got to stop I got to fucking with the
Starting point is 01:37:56 I like that shit I got the cover that magazine so I got the cover that magazine the shit you got to the shit oh yeah that's Atlanta shit
Starting point is 01:38:05 so I walked in a plane and I had to cover this shit and I was niggas knew what the fuck I was doing this at that point like it was like I had that
Starting point is 01:38:14 speculation though I don't know what you was talking about with the speculation but I was on the cover every seat so Everybody knew who the fuck you was.
Starting point is 01:38:21 And you sat there. That was a good moment. That's a good moment. That's a good moment. Let me tell you something, JD. Let me tell you something. In case you don't know, man. We've seen what you did.
Starting point is 01:38:30 We seen you sit here and take an era of music and take an artist like a bow wow, like a brach, like a criss-cross, like a jagged edge, like an escape. And we've seen you tell them how to make hit music. And that was the beautiful part of it. A lot of people can pair you and puff together. Like you're the puff of the south or whatever. But it is, it is. You're kind of like each other, but you did your own market music. You set it off.
Starting point is 01:39:05 You did what you had to do. And we want to salute that. Thank you. You understand? We want to sit back. I'm going to clap it up for that. And don't you ever do an interview with any podcast that don't say your top three. Because to me, this is the top three producers.
Starting point is 01:39:26 This is to me. It's Puff, Drey, and Jermaine. That's the top three. To me, then after that generation becomes Farel, Timberlands, the Swiss Beaks. This is for me. No, no, no, no, for sure. No, Primo comes before that.
Starting point is 01:39:47 P-Rot, Primo. Because we got to, we got to, that's a little bit before Dre in them. But that and you know what Fuck hip hop We don't have to Like sometimes sometimes When I say that
Starting point is 01:40:00 I say fuck hip hop I don't know You say not to divide like No fuck that that category Because when a person You want some tiger You know you know You know what you know I'm going on in
Starting point is 01:40:10 I'm going to listen to But when a person say Listen listen I want to make a point I want to make a point I want to make a point Oh fuck yeah that nix Duckeye de light We got more tiger ball
Starting point is 01:40:20 God damn Reggie, like Chris is in the building. We didn't drink that whole bottle of them. Yeah. No, that's a half a bottle. But we got another one. Okay. But listen.
Starting point is 01:40:31 Go ahead. What I'm saying is, see, when you say, when you say, when you say, when you say, when you say or you give a person the title, gop, which goat means greatest of all time, there should be avid. There's a lot of people that should be the greatest of all. times. There can't just be one in boxing. You say the greatest of all times. Mike Tyson might be the greatest of all times for the 90s era. Muhammad Ali might be the greatest
Starting point is 01:41:03 of all the times from the 80s era. Pachial might be the greatest of all times from the 2000 and such and such era. Mayweil is the greatest of all times because that's who the fuck is my favorite box is all that. Right? So why in hip hop
Starting point is 01:41:20 we can't have multiple greatest of all times I mean you actually can but it's like No we do We do I'm going to change that Single handedly
Starting point is 01:41:30 There's a lot of people That's the greatest of all times Of their era And I want to salute that It's just like Big Daddy King Come on Haitian people You gotta help us
Starting point is 01:41:38 Be quiet It's my friends The Haitian people They've got to praise They finally happy They say hey Travis T didn't come to us It went to another place
Starting point is 01:41:50 But listen, what I'm saying is we have, we have to keep, that's the thing I respect about you. Like, I never really heard you go at somebody else. Like, did you ever do a diss record? You did? Oh, I forgot. Let's get into this. Yeah, I diss Dr. Drake. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:42:12 Yeah, he had got at me. Him and him and them they had did like a little song. Something about me. What little song is that? Huh? What do you say? some song where they was dissing me I don't know
Starting point is 01:42:22 But but but You know like It's this sensitive Hipop niggas That like I say some real shit And niggas get sensitive And want to be defensive
Starting point is 01:42:33 Right Right Because what I had said was that If you put Dr. Dre In a room And you put me in a room Who gonna come out With a song first
Starting point is 01:42:41 They ain't like that But the truth of the matter is I'm gonna come out with the song Before he does I don't need no niggas To write nothing for me I make the beats and I'm gonna write the lyrics
Starting point is 01:42:51 and I'm gonna do the whole song I'm gonna come out with the song first like that was much if you want to challenge me anybody want to do that now that wasn't a diss It's just like That's a true statement
Starting point is 01:43:02 That's a true statement And like at that particular point He's a superfectionist anyway That's why Yeah he takes him They didn't like that statement You know what I mean They thought I was trying to shine on them
Starting point is 01:43:13 I wasn't really trying to shine I'm just like I have to let people know it's a difference between how I make records and other people make records. Like even when people say about me and Puff, me and Puff do have a very similar style as far as like marketing our artists and being labels that move in the same type of motion. But when it come to making records, Puff don't make records like me. Nobody don't make records like me. I mean, it's people that make records like me, but I'm just saying it's a different situation. And I wasn't like even like I'm saying that about Puff, I'm not dissing Puff. I'm saying like we just, I make records. differently. I can write a whole song. A criss-crossed, that $8 million,
Starting point is 01:43:53 I wrote the entire album. You wrote all their lyrics? Every line. Wow. Wow. Wow. Just make some noise. Make some noise for that $8 million. God damn. Listen, I don't let the count, no money, but I'm just thinking about it.
Starting point is 01:44:11 I'm like, damn, eight million in the 90s. Is this the 80s or 90s? No, 90s, 90s. 92. See, see, see, she got it with us. You know. Like $1,000 in the 80s meant different than the thousand. Yeah, inflation.
Starting point is 01:44:26 So just something, man. I know. This felt like drug bill of money. Yes. It's like pushing, yeah. Yeah, I mean, hip-hop. That's what we should celebrate. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:41 We should celebrate that. Listen, man, there's a lot of brothers out there doing the wrong thing, doing a thing to feed their family, and we can't judge that. That's not what we're here to do. but Leo Cohn said this on the podcast and he came and he said this is the perfect time to get into the music business
Starting point is 01:45:02 and the reason why he's saying that now is because remember back then we had to press the CD up we had to do the artwork he had to do the the middleman out now the photo shoot like right now
Starting point is 01:45:13 like dead serious any kid could go in the back of his room pick up a fucking Fruitil loops Anything There's a ton of apps On the iPad, and then just And make a whole career
Starting point is 01:45:27 Like back then You had to be L to get out in the 80s You said your favorite Era was the 80s You had to be Just to get in the studio Was difficult
Starting point is 01:45:37 Just yeah They probably wouldn't even Take your account And then back then They had the 8 inch rails That's like carrying a dwarf You was cutting tape You was cut tape to edit the music
Starting point is 01:45:49 Like this Like, I got a human hair. Can you cut this tape for me? And then you remember back then? I'm showing my age a little bit. I'm just going to throw it out there. But you couldn't punch in. You don't remember that era?
Starting point is 01:46:00 Where you had to do your whole verse. Well, if you punch in, it was a mission. No. I was part of the punching in. You could punch in. You could punch it. You punched it. It wasn't it.
Starting point is 01:46:09 Yo, a nine of six. Unique studios? It was rare. They had no punching. Nah, you had to cut the tape. They had to cut the tape. Yeah, yeah. unique studios?
Starting point is 01:46:21 It's rare. But you're across the street from MTV. You're going to street. You're like, yo, you're fucking. And you got to, you got to. So, yo, that's why I do, you know this. Like, how has is my end of the day. Keep it real.
Starting point is 01:46:34 My minimum is seven songs a night. Like when I, like, when I'm focused, I go to the studio, I do seven songs like this, four hours. My young boys would be sitting there still writing. I'm like, I wrote my whole shit before I came. Because that shit was crazy. Like coming from where I'm from, paying $2,500 a session
Starting point is 01:46:53 was serious. There's a lot. They don't know anything about that either. They don't know anything about that either. They just make the records on their bedroom. Yeah, yeah. And they're bad on their laptops. They ain't paying that bread.
Starting point is 01:47:05 Like me, I was trying to get out the hood. So I, like, I'm not, like, I can't live the way. Like, I'm still to this day, if I book a studio, like, my pay for somebody else shit, like I have the song. written. I have five songs written. That's how you should have it. You should be
Starting point is 01:47:23 going to the studio ready. Don't play in the studio. It's not a spot to play around. It's not a start to play around. And you still love the studio after all these years? Keep it real. You ain't lose a little bit of love for music at some point. Come on. Tell us that story, Jada. You got pissed off one day. Why? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:47:41 I don't know. You just said, you never said no. Because I got goals. I got these goals that I ain't never really achieved yet. So I still, like, you know. I'm still out here. I'm still out here. I think you achieved everything. What does it take for you to, yeah, like, what are the goals that you still haven't achieved? Huh?
Starting point is 01:47:56 What goals have you not achieved yet? I mean, like, so when I first started working with Usher and we did My Way album and we did, when we got confessions. Because this is my confessions. This is my confessions. This is my confession. So listen, we got the confessions. We had this conversation about, like, we got to sell 10 million records.
Starting point is 01:48:31 That's the type of talk you'd be having? Yeah. I was very scared to talk to you. I understand. Like, because we know, like, it don't mean nothing if you don't do nothing like that, right? As far as where I'm coming from, people look at me like, you know,
Starting point is 01:48:46 I don't have success after success after some niggas still look at me the same way. So you got to do something just like backflips, right? So we was at the studio like that we got to sell 10 million. This album got to go diamond. Yeah. And it did.
Starting point is 01:49:05 It did. It went diamond. So it was the last. This was his confession. It's the last black artist to sell 10 million artists. Clap your fucking house. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:49:24 So you plotted this before it happened. All right, let's take it back to the day. Because this is deep shit. I got to do last. But, but, but, like, that is still, like, small compared to what we was actually trying to do. Like, we was looking at Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones is, like, the master to me is my idol, right? You all the hip-hop Quincy Jones in case you didn't know that.
Starting point is 01:49:43 Huh? You are the hip-hop Quincy Jones. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. All right. All right, you clap, my God. Yeah, you know. That's a real compliment.
Starting point is 01:49:53 I mean, but at the same time, saying that. I can't really take that yet because he did way more than me He still got way more Under his belt than I have achieved And at 50 Quincy Jones made thriller Wow
Starting point is 01:50:09 At 50 years old That's when he created that album which became the biggest selling album in the history of music At 50 I just turned 40 So you give me hope Yeah Let's keep on
Starting point is 01:50:24 So with that being saying You ask me what my, like, I'm still looking at that like, yo, okay, I'm not 50s. If he did it, I got an opportunity to do something bigger than that. I got to try it. So I'm just, that's my goal, is just to try to, yeah, some artists, I don't know if it's going to be Usher. I don't know if it's going to be, but somebody, we're going to do something that's going to be crazy. Now, I like, I liked it the way where Usher is going through this, you know, what is that, controversy. And the first person you see Usher taking a picture of what is you.
Starting point is 01:50:59 You stood, hold on. I took my shots of Tiger Bowl. No, we got a new shot. No, no shots. Oh, I'm about to say, I felt like, y'all, you violated me. I loved the way you stood right there by your boy side. You didn't give a fuck about no controversy, none of that. Like, I actually enjoy that type of loyalty.
Starting point is 01:51:19 Like, why isn't that type of loyalty respected more in the industry that we're in? Because it ain't really nobody that really do it. Like, you know what I mean? Like, niggas act like they're your homies. They ain't really, you know. Like, I, you know, like all of my artists, they came to me at a time when they didn't really have no other friends, period. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:51:37 Like, Usher was at my house where he made my way. It was just him. He came to the studio by himself. No friends, no assistant, no nothing. So I actually became like a real true friend to him. Not like just a producer. I'm doing everything from him. I'm like, you know what I'm hooking all with girls.
Starting point is 01:51:53 I'm doing everything. So if that's our relationship You know what I'm saying I'm still I gotta be the person to tell him like This is bullshit You know this is bullshit Like let's go through it You know what I mean
Starting point is 01:52:06 Other people are going to talk to them differently I'm gonna talk to them the way that's supposed to be talked to So I mean I don't I don't know if it's a lot of that in the world You know niggas call niggas when they need something They don't really actually be fucking with niggas When they ain't got you know When they're in a different place
Starting point is 01:52:21 God damn Make some noise So now we got y'all both here Like You know there's been moments Where in hip hop You guys didn't agree How did you
Starting point is 01:52:39 And you And you came back And you said You know That's my big homie You know what I'm saying But like how did that just feel Like when you know
Starting point is 01:52:50 A person you come into the game with you I just not seeing eye to eye and it's different opinions but the thing is every time you voice your opinion it's in the public eye whether you think it is or not whether you think it is or not like how is that to go through that I'm gonna throw my shot okay oh my man my man my man talking about what is this for him what is this full this is this is this four right episode four all right good good yeah now I mean pretty much you know it was um We both, we like the same person.
Starting point is 01:53:27 Yeah, that shot made that nigga more up there. But, man, it's just, it's the same person. You know what I'm saying? He pretty much raised me, so it was kind of like, you know, all the game and all the lessons I learned from him at one point, I felt like, like shit, you know. I wanted to start calling some shots and putting my ideas into things. And sometimes we wouldn't see how to hide
Starting point is 01:53:47 because he was the coach. He was the, you know, he was the teacher. And, you know, I wanted to outshine. master. I thought, you know, I wanted to play it my way. It's at some point. I'm standing up for you. Every artist at some point
Starting point is 01:54:02 start feeling their self and you know what they do? They say, I did this shit. And they forget about everybody else. Because in order to make somebody great, it's three or four people behind you. But me, I've done it. Everybody does it. Everybody just, what the fuck? I did this shit on my own. So you had that moment.
Starting point is 01:54:21 Yeah, had that moment. Did it third hour. I had that moment. Did his thing, but it just didn't feel right. You know what I mean? I was in the studio with Tip Me and Tiah was working on my third album together. It just was different. You know what I'm saying? I came to the conclusion.
Starting point is 01:54:33 Like, if I can't get down on the fourth album, then I'm cool on music. I got movies. I can do that shit for life. So I don't really got to do it no more. And I remember just going to Malibu and pulling up on JD and just telling him like, look, fuck all the business shit. I'm throwing out of the paperwork shit out there.
Starting point is 01:54:48 Oh, yeah, he was in Malibu. I'm still looking for a house like that. And then I just told him like, man, we got to all the business. just kick all that shit to the side. We got to get back. When I got back, platinum, and we rolled it. We're right back in pocket.
Starting point is 01:55:01 Then I had to listen to him. It was records I ain't want. I'm like, I don't want to do that shit. No, no, no. And I just buckled down and did them. They became number one hit. So sometimes you just got to, you do got to listen because he's been doing this shit
Starting point is 01:55:12 way longer than I have. So, oh, you want some Donaldio now? No, no. You can take that with you to go. No, I got, I got, I'm just checking it out. Okay, yeah. We're going to put that. We're going to pack us that up for you.
Starting point is 01:55:22 Birthday presents. Yeah, definitely. You can take that with you to go. I'm just checking it out. I'm checking it. I'm just going to call it. I don't know what we need to call it. You don't know what to golly?
Starting point is 01:55:31 Yeah, because it's kind of crazy. I mean, you might need to, but you, this is, this is some premium shit, though. Y'all need to keep this here. No, this is your birthday. That's yours. We're good. We're going to have a bottle for you anytime you come back.
Starting point is 01:55:43 Okay. Because I just want both for y'all to know that, um, this is a big platform. What I mean by that, I'm not trying to, tell, you know, what it means to hip hop is when they told us our numbers, who gives
Starting point is 01:55:58 the fuck? But when they told us, and they told us our demographics for 16 to 24, it fucked me up. Because we didn't have like people on here under 30. Like, we praise legends. We say, you got to be a hip-hop legend. And for this to be working, this show,
Starting point is 01:56:16 it means that even though people don't give a fuck or whatever's the hit right now, people want to learn. what happened in the hip hop. Oh yeah, I mean, but that's, you know, like that's what I said, that's what, that's why I picked that era
Starting point is 01:56:30 because it's like, the stories today, right, in hip hop, they don't mean nothing, like, the stories that, you know what I'm saying? Like, the story, like, it's just shit that you actually live in life,
Starting point is 01:56:45 you know what I mean, to make, these records was like, you know, how I made money in a thing was like I was driving down the street and I heard Jay Z Please let me stop before here That's my very next question This nigger's good
Starting point is 01:57:02 This thing is the guru I just typed in my code To my phone because I'm like yo My next question And you went there Let me shut the fuck up This is your decide I'm driving
Starting point is 01:57:15 I'm driving First of all I got I got like Atlanta Atlanta was like a city that nobody knew what was going on in Atlanta, right? But everybody was paying attention to New York and L.A. But it was like this article that came out one day, one morning. I read it.
Starting point is 01:57:37 And it was like Puff did an article and they was interviewing him. And they was like, yo, we went to interview Puff. And he's driving around, you know, Manhattan in the Bentley. You know, and he had back with the, you know, they explained. Like the black man that really ain't supposed to be in the Bentley driving around. They was actually describing his life. And it really frustrated me because it was like the morning that I was going to pick up Jay-Z from the airport. I was in a Bentley continental TV driving around Atlanta with a do-rag on.
Starting point is 01:58:12 It had the same shit. But nobody would see it. Nobody wasn't seeing what I was doing. So I was like I got to make, my records got to be big. REC's got to be bigger so niggas can see what's going on. And on the way to, that's, by the way, this song, I had no idea what the song was going be. I just wanted to make a record.
Starting point is 01:58:32 Money and anything. Yeah, I just want to make a record with Jay-Z. So I'm driving and I'm listening, can't knock the hustle. And he say deep South, deep in the South kicking up top game, screaming through the sunroof money and they're saying, and I'm like, who. deep in the south that sounds like me that sounds like he's talking about me
Starting point is 01:59:01 but what song he said that on a different song no he says that in can't knock the hustle he says this in can't knock the hustle so I'm listening can't knock the hustle and I'm like he said this that's what I saw I'm going to be called
Starting point is 01:59:18 so I'm going to pick him up from the airport and when he got in the car so literally when you were picking him up you heard your This is coming while I'm going to the airport. So I get to the airport, pick him up. He gets in my car, and I tell him right then and there, I'm like, yo, the song going to be called Money Anything.
Starting point is 01:59:37 And I heard, I said, I want to use this part from Can't Knock the Hustle. Deep in the South, kicking up top games, screaming through the sunroof, money, anything. And he was like, okay, you got a beat. I had made a beat before, I had made the beat before I left. Uh-oh. That's not Tiger Bone, is it? That's a Tiger Bone. I made the beat before I went to the airport.
Starting point is 02:00:00 So I had the Steve Arrington week in my knees. I had the beat, looped up already. And I was like, we're going to wrap over this shit. And the only reason I had picked that beat was because he did this freestyle on the Clue Mix tape where he took the Drew Hill beat that I used for the sleeping in my bed shit. Sleeping in my bed.
Starting point is 02:00:24 And he was like, he's like y'all want to he took my whole intro y'all want to dance I'm gonna make it but he changed it and I was like damn this nigga Jay Z be listening
Starting point is 02:00:34 to me that's how I felt like I'm like because he was like the real super super super backpack rapper people gave him all kind of respect
Starting point is 02:00:44 I would never thought he was really checking out what I was doing and I heard that he he took my whole part so I was like oh this nigga really be listening to me
Starting point is 02:00:52 he took my shit so then I just put this whole thing together in like 20 minutes of how we was gonna make this record and when he got in the car I said yo this gonna be the song he was like what the beat sound like
Starting point is 02:01:02 I said we get to my mom house we're gonna listen to the beat we got to my mother house I had played the beat for him and the beat went around for like 10 bars maybe maybe 24 bars and the niggas I got my rap
Starting point is 02:01:15 let's go and I was like what that's a biggie shit how the fuck where is this the biggie shit I'm like yo what the fuck when did you write your rap like I just wrote it
Starting point is 02:01:24 let's go let's get in the studio I'm like, I got to learn that trick. I got to learn to do that tomorrow. And that was the last day I stopped. I stopped writing on paper. I never written anything since then. And what years is we talking about? 94.
Starting point is 02:01:45 Let's make some much with JDB and G. Yeah, but you definitely, like, you had straight A's in class. Like, only the niggins that really could do a good, you had straight A's. I didn't finish high school. You wasn't. Nah, I didn't finish high school. Did you, was you having special education?
Starting point is 02:02:05 Huh? Special education. Say again. Yeah. Special education. Listen, I, I, I, I, I, had seven, I had seven students and three teachers. Who fights me stupid? She was real.
Starting point is 02:02:19 She was real for me. I'm stupider than you. No, you're stupid than me. No, I'm stupider. She was real for me growing up. Really? Yeah, yeah. I got right around in my head, but that's not going to take.
Starting point is 02:02:30 But listen, okay, so listen, I'm gonna tell you, like, my chrish-crust theory of how I made chris crust into rappers, I got in the car one day, and these niggas was like infatuated with ice cube. At 11 and 12, it was infatuated ice cube. And they knew every ice cube word, lyrics all word for word. And I'm riding in the car. I'm like, yeah, these niggas saying this nigger rap. They recited. They reciting the raps like they know them. So I'm like, shit, if I'm write them a song that they like. They'll recited. They'll recited the same way. That's basically how they became rappers. It's not the cold version that I prefer, but I'm going to... Go ahead, keep going on. What you going to do? No, no, because
Starting point is 02:03:15 you see how he popped the champagne? They got the big bottle right there. No, did you see how he popped the champagne? You're going to do a different?

Starting point is 02:09:01 He said, me, you know how Leo talks, right? He goes, meet me at the polo lounge. Right? And Beverly Hills, like, I always drove by this shit, because I'm a hood nigger. Like, people don't invite me the shit like that. You know, and I've been good with that for 20 years. I've been, like, I understand.
Starting point is 02:09:17 You ain't got to invite me there. I get it. I get it, because I come with niggas like, y'all, you come on Dominican. I come with niggas that got knives. They don't even get on planes. As soon as they run, they get a knife in the next day. That's just who I am,
Starting point is 02:09:33 but I want to get people's job, right? So, Leo comes, and he says, he comes to me, and he goes like that. He said, you know why I drink chance works? And I said, no. Because I don't. I'm just giving myself, giving my all, just respecting hip-hop,
Starting point is 02:09:52 and I'm congratulating the parts of hip-hop I love. And Leo said, because you guys don't do gossip. You guys just celebrate hip-hop the way it is. And it's like, as complicated as that was, it's very simple. If you're a person that's been down in hip-hop, you know how tough this is to survive more than a year? How many people you know was the hottest dude in the world last year?
Starting point is 02:10:24 You've seen Tim, he might have gave you an elbow. Like, what's up, my God? How are you doing? Like, oh, where? Hi, y'all God That's who you think you are So to survive
Starting point is 02:10:39 Anywhere More than 3, 4, 5 6, 7 years If you're talking about double digits Every man who participated in this game Should be saluted Look at football Football, you got like, what,
Starting point is 02:10:57 a year, two year? Expansom basketball or maybe five hip hop or music see they limit you
Starting point is 02:11:10 you could go the fuck out of here so when you have people that's standing there has been down yeah it's his drink chance don't realize it's nothing organized but we're very organized
Starting point is 02:11:20 watch how we throw this shit out we got you all right but you know when you see people that got double digits in this world there's no the way that you have to do is salute these people. You got to sit back and say, and now, and now, yo, you DJing again,
Starting point is 02:11:39 because I heard you started out as a DJ. So you be, oh, yeah, DJing? Yeah. Go ahead, let's describe that. That's great. Let's describe it. I mean, yeah, I started as a DJ. I mean, I started making my beats based on DJing.
Starting point is 02:11:58 Mm-hmm. It was like, that's what I wanted to do. to be before I became a producer, a DJ. So I got these little realistic fake 1200s from Radio Shack. It's big on Radio Shack. Huh? It's big on Radio Shack. Radio Shack for Brokemo.
Starting point is 02:12:17 Radio Shack used to have. Radio Shack had all the shit that the fake shit. All the fake shing came from Radio Shack. You had a moment. I respect that. So I, like, the bell drive turntables from Radio Shack. It sucked, but they did the job. But I told my mother and my father I wanted turntapers.
Starting point is 02:12:35 That's what they bought me. They got the Radio Shack shit. And from there I became a DJ. I just started making like mixtapes and doing whatever I had to do just before I ever made records. So I've been DJing like since I was 14. Now, when you go to a new crowd, people are you a DJing? This might be able. I'm gonna go out there and say it
Starting point is 02:13:01 It might be a white guy who don't know who you are And they'll come into you and say Play some fucking Kelly What's the bitch name? Kelly Price? What's the best name? The best host the MTV Award Cardi B not Cardi B no
Starting point is 02:13:17 I know Cardi B I'm from New York City What's her name, man? Katie Perry I said Kelly Yeah, you said Kelly And they're like, hey on him That's some Katie Perry
Starting point is 02:13:28 like what are you doing that moment first of all I don't do requests yeah yeah no real DJ does request that's not that's not that's not we're no motherfucket this DJ moment right now I got a little request we do it and that's it
Starting point is 02:13:41 I'm not doing no request I don't do requests and I don't you know I mean for the most part I don't really be playing all them type of records like I play what I listen to you here you turned up this guy might have just ordered 17 I don't care that's his problem that's his problem
Starting point is 02:13:57 God, this is a DJ boy. Me and Bile. When a DJ do a set, it's like a song for you. Let me say this. I'm going to say this about as far as me DJing. I'm not like, I'll DJ like a mixtape. Right. So once I start DJing as far as tempo and
Starting point is 02:14:16 vibe, just tempo and vibe, yeah. I don't like people to come tell me, yo, somebody just bought 25 bottles. We need to change it to play the champions here. Like in the midst of my mix Like you What that's like a mother That shit is whack
Starting point is 02:14:34 You know that shit By the way By the way They don't understand how whack that is That's so whack Because you You are destroying the momentum Of the club
Starting point is 02:14:43 Break that down I'm just saying I like that shit I don't think about it for yourself If someone would have go on stage When you're doing a show And stop you and say Nah I want you to play this record
Starting point is 02:14:56 You guys, motherfucker, I got my set. I'm doing what I do. I'm just saying to me that's whack because the club the club is already fucked up from Instagram and people trying to just like take pictures and not pay attention to party and in the first place. So once you get the club, everybody dancing and doing they got to do when people having a good time
Starting point is 02:15:15 and then a motherfucker of club owner want to say, yo, we want to, oh, whoa, this thing is stung on those. Yeah, but you spread it in my drink, man. I don't want to drink that shit. It's good for you. I don't want to drink. You're going to recreate. So I'm saying that.
Starting point is 02:15:31 So you're saying. So you're coming in there, you say that. You want to change the momentum of the club. I'm looking at the people. Like, I'm not, like, I watch so many DJs, DJ. These house DJs and these EDM DJs, they don't even pay no attention to the crowd. They just be playing music.
Starting point is 02:15:48 They don't give a fuck. You know, like not like that. I'm looking at the crowd like, damn, I just played this record. And ain't nobody really moving. I gotta get to another song really fast and fine. And the energy dictates how you're gonna move, yeah. Yeah, I don't like, I don't like you coming in the club telling me.
Starting point is 02:16:05 If that person buying drinks, keep buying drinks, y'all, light it up, do what y'all doing. I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing. You gotta keep the party going. So you can tell us a spirit, like one time we just- Oh, they do it all the time, they try to do it all the time. And I just be like, fuck it. What is it a corny record? Or is it just because you had your set together?
Starting point is 02:16:24 I mean, I just, yeah, a lot of times I'm just like, Like, I'm not doing it. You know what I mean? If they wanted, they... Let's just tell people, don't go up to the motherfucking DJ. All they may have to, like, request... Let me give you one example, right? Shout somebody out, and I'm like, yeah, you do it.
Starting point is 02:16:35 Let me give you one example, right? Because I never met this nigga in my life, right? But in my mind, the nigger's my homie. He was my homie. Okay. Prince coming in the club. A nigga, just float by you. Just float.

Because we're going to keep going and keep going and keep going. And you know what? You know, thank you for coming here because the basis, of our story me and my partner
Starting point is 02:32:13 DJ Air friend right there it's like why don't people respect people after they you don't have success and continue to do something else like what happened
Starting point is 02:32:27 why don't in hip hop and every other genre of music rock and roll jazz like you get to a certain level and people respect you people who say but in hip hop they give you a milk day you got an inspiration day
Starting point is 02:32:42 motherfucker about the 24th September you better not have a white beard either you should be out of it and then KareS1 which was one of my favorite rapist said watch what you say because you're attracted
Starting point is 02:33:00 so I hope his message is correct because as a person get older as a person continue to put it in working hip-hop and we continue to salute them, I want with K-R-S-1 message to be lived out. Yeah, 100%. Watch what you say because you're attracted. So at one point, I heard people say, you know, because Jay said, you know,
Starting point is 02:33:31 what he said, you guys on Instagram putting money to your air. that ain't money over here. And I understood what he meant. He was dissing the young generation. He was understanding, go get a black card. Young home, you know, go get some credit. Go get something. Go buy a vehicle.
Starting point is 02:33:57 Go, you know. So you could actually, what people took that as, it was disrespect because of his elderness. So before, that album came out. What we wanted to do, we wanted to say the older you became
Starting point is 02:34:21 in hip-hop, the more you just kept reigning supreme in hip-hop. We want to salute that. We want to respect that. We want to sit back and what's that shit called? The scope.
Starting point is 02:34:37 When the aunt comes, you put the square. Oh, the magnifying. The magnifying. You want to put the magnifying glass or R. CEOs. I thought you were pouring liquor on that end. Oh yeah, that too.
Starting point is 02:34:52 But you went with the magnifying glass or RCEOs, the people that come out here and help keep pushing hip hop forward. Because the thing about it, hip hop should be its own religion. Hip hop should be its own gospel. It should be its own race.
Starting point is 02:35:07 Like people should at some point in the near future, people should register, you know, black, white, And then hip hop. Hip hop. Yeah. Lower it up.
Starting point is 02:35:19 Bring back the OG as well. You gotta relax. Right up. You were talking about that conscious hip-hop and they talk about it. Nah, but you should, no. But you're right. You're right. But there's a different moment in life what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 02:35:33 Like, at the end of the day, when people should register the vote, we should register hip-hop. Like hip-hop. I'm on a while on television. You can tell me, please. No, it's not. You're calling language, bro. You should register hip hop because that's what we did with Borat. It wasn't a race thing.
Starting point is 02:35:53 Everybody thinks like it was a race thing, but we knew he was hip-hop. I think that was the first hip-hop president. When we walked through, we knew he knew whole lyrics. Niggas was like, nah, he knew whole shit. He knew El-Matic. Let's vote for that, man. Yeah. Niggas ain't vote for Jesse.
Starting point is 02:36:14 Just keep me. real. I was dead. I was like, ah, Jesse, I'm not sure. You voted for Jesse? Jesse Jackson? Yeah. No. I don't think nobody here. I was a voting age. Nobody in going. What about him? He's voted for Jesse. Yeah, but I'm trying to take something down right now. He's still single. We're still single out of it. I respect that. I can always recognize a single nigga.
Starting point is 02:36:40 You can always recognize a single nigga. I can always recognize a single nigga. I'm like, cool. He should be drinking more Taco Bonner. He don't get anybody here. He don't understand it. He don't even know. But. Sight language.
Starting point is 02:36:56 Your sign language game is L. Oh, my God. Because you know why I want to smoke a cigarette. But I'm going to smoke with some wheat. But what I'm trying to tell you, I'm like that. Hip-hop. Started on the park.
Starting point is 02:37:12 Respected Puerto Rico Islands before the fucking United States. Absolutely. Absolutely. How disgusting was that? We all came to. Puerto Rico's A hip hop came to Puerto Rico. Hip hop came. Did you did you realize that? I'm sorry, I got
Starting point is 02:37:28 political on y'all. This wasn't a part of the program. Look, Puerto Rico. Like, go, fuck that. Don't you complain. That's a Puerto Rico music right there. Go ahead. But did you see hip hop come to the aid of Puerto Rico before our own president?
Starting point is 02:37:46 Right now, not before. It's still our president still hasn't. Absolutely. Oh, he didn't lift a man? He did. But I'm saying it's still What he's doing is not enough And hip hop, the community is still Coming to private citizens Are helping Puerto Rico right now

Starting point is 02:38:12 Atlanta never had a crisis like that. No, no. But how do you feel as Americans seeing that happen? I mean, I think I think that's the beauty of hip hop, though. I think it's like, we shouldn't be surprised because that's what hip hop does anyway.
Starting point is 02:38:28 Hip hop has introduced people to, everybody to different something completely. You know what I mean? Like, you know, I don't even know if that, like, when I was first start making music, I don't think it's no Puerto Rican girls in Atlanta. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 02:59:40 I'm talking about from the 90s. I'm going to take a pic-pies. I'll come right back. I'm talking about Rolex. By the way, in Miami and Atlanta is the only place where it's real strip clubs at. Absolutely. I believe that. It's true strip clubs.
Starting point is 02:59:53 You can see a bitch whole insides for $10. You're right. But I think what he's saying is what we can all agree to is that we broke records in the strip club. No, y'all did what y'all. All of us. We broke records in the strip club. in the strip club. But what we did,
Starting point is 03:00:11 we made the strippers famous in Atlanta. That's what we did. Like, white chocolate, sugar, man. Like, we stopped making the strippers. The strippers became, like, I'm probably the bad ambassador for the strippers being famous in Miami,
Starting point is 03:00:29 but I guarantee you. Luke made a lot of strippers in Miami famous. Tim Jerry, I mean, you know, something, but I'm saying that, that focus became, Atlanta's focus was like the strippers, right? It was a club called the gentleman's club, and they used to focus on, like, the hottest stripper a month, right?
Starting point is 03:00:46 You go to the club, you see the girl, as soon as you walk in the club, they got a big old sign out there, like, this is stripper of the month, right? The strip of the month. So you start, we would go to the clubs for that girl. Yeah, I had stripper in the month in Miami? I'm sure we had a stripper of the day in Miami.
Starting point is 03:01:02 God damn, guaranteed. So, you know what I mean? And to me, that's what the strip club is lost now. The strip clubs don't focus on Entirely, the South The strip club culture is a southern thing You know what I'm saying? Yeah, Atlanta Miami, that's it
Starting point is 03:01:16 Yeah These are two things I gotta Before we end this Before before before the thing is We broke records in the strip clubs In the South In Miami, in Atlanta I'm assuming Like that's the way you broke records
Starting point is 03:01:27 These are two things I gotta get established Before yeah get out of here All right When you think of the strip club culture as a person from New Yorker, East Coast I always think of Miami or Atlanta, right? And for a strange reason, every time I think of a
Starting point is 03:01:49 lemon pepper, I think of Miami or Atlanta. Chigilin's? Yeah, motherfucker. No, he's thinking to the stripper. Lemon pepper, motherfucker. I need to understand. Now, Bab, you're from Ohio, right? Yeah, I was born, yeah. New York. So me and you got to ask you from Miami, correct? By way of Atlanta.
Starting point is 03:02:12 I met in Atlanta. But I'm in Miami again. All right. All right. Listen, let's do a game show, right? Let's go. Let's do a game show. You know, roll up our stage.
Starting point is 03:02:20 I want to say, where did the strip club culture start? And I want to see which one of y'all. I don't think we can say it started anywhere. Anyland? Okay.
Starting point is 03:02:33 Because sex is everywhere, bro. I'm saying, like. No, strip club culture, I'm talking about. Chicks Cup Strip Club culture. Because that didn't represent sex. See, at some point, that's the reason why New York didn't mess with strip club culture, because we thought you had to buy sex and all that. No, because further North you went up, it was horrible.
Starting point is 03:02:51 The movie actually. Y'all had pasties in the club. That's horrible, man. What's wrong with you? Okay, you went. You went on that. Pasty. But after we seen the movie Players Club, New Yorkers was like, oh, that's what they do.
Starting point is 03:03:05 They go there to chill. We didn't know that You don't agree with me You're way too young You obviously On this one, stay out Because you're my brother But you're way to
Starting point is 03:03:21 The strict club was almost like being in a club JD You don't worry Just No go ahead They don't mind to us We're just here talking But at that time
Starting point is 03:03:33 When the players club came out The movie, you remember that? That's the first time New Yorkers realized that southerners, y'all actually go to the strip club, their show. Wait, but what year was Players Club, the movie? Because I can imagine that. We got a guy, he got to Google in front of them. Because before that movie came out, y'all was already coming down to Miami for how can I be down.
Starting point is 03:04:00 And Luke was already doing Luke's peep show. And we wasn't not fucking with strip clubs. Gee, strip clubs was like disrespectful. New York. No, he's talking about New York. I'm just saying New York. By the way, by the way, I'm going to say this. But I'm saying it was coming down.
Starting point is 03:04:12 Let me say it. Let me just say this. Like, what he's talking about with the New York shit? Like, when I put out, when I put out, um, bone crusher and I put out the young bloods, right? Dope. Young bloods are so, yeah. Yeah, young blood is so.
Starting point is 03:04:30 Come on, come on. Everybody in the table. Hey, wait. Hey, right. I feel horrible, but I didn't realize that you. This is a nigga. J.D. coming here.
Starting point is 03:04:38 He's... Y'all gloves. So when I put these records out, um, Kay Slate, Kay Slate, I, he tried to,
Starting point is 03:04:49 he was dissing me. He was mad at me. I don't know why, but I know, I don't know what it was. But Kay Slate has said that, like, one of my street team guys went out,
Starting point is 03:04:58 and they were saying that Kay Slay was like, yo, if you bring another one of these Southern records in here, we're not with this shit. This is before New York sounded in the way.
Starting point is 03:05:07 New York sound right now. Because I can have in case they're saying. So, so, the strip club era, what he's talking about, in New York wasn't on this.
Starting point is 03:05:18 They never were. Right? So I, New York had their own wave that they was doing. Seuss Rendezvous in the Bronx, right? So I went to out. I didn't even came later.
Starting point is 03:05:28 I went to Sews, and I was checking out how they were going on the Sews. And I was like, yo, you know what? I'm going to do Atlanta versus New York. So I got every girl
Starting point is 03:05:38 from the judge. The Nationer's Club, Magic City, and Stoker's and all these places. And I put them on this tour bus, and I took them to New York. And we went to New York, and we did this battle between Atlanta and New York. Amber Rose was still stripping at Sue's rendezvous at this particular point in time. Drop in the gems. And it was like, you could tell, like it was a completely different era of what was happening in Atlanta compared to what was going on in New York.
Starting point is 03:06:07 Right. Now New York looks just like. Atlanta. Strip clubs, sound, everything. So you said back then y'all killed us. Yeah, we killed you. No, he said, takeover. We had, but it was the culture that you're talking about.
Starting point is 03:06:22 I brought that to New York with the thing. And just, you know, Atlanta was ahead of the, you know, the fake asses. All that shit. They was, Atlanta was doing it. Bazillion buttless. Yeah, all that. That shit started there. Atlanta was, in letting small.
Starting point is 03:06:37 Atlanta was, let's respect, Atlanta. Atlanta was all that. This was after Luke. So it wasn't like not like I was disrespecting Miami because Miami definitely set this off. But it was like after Luke stopped his penetration of what he was doing, pause. It was, you know, Luke was the guy that was letting everybody know
Starting point is 03:07:03 what was going on in Miami as far as the strip clubs go. Once he stopped that, Atlanta took that over. I agree. But we took it over, like I said, in a light that put the light on the dancers, the girls. The girls that was, you know, you wanted to see this girl, you wanted to see this girl, you want to see this girl. That's what Atlanta did. We put the light on the girls. So that's why these chicks got a million followers.
Starting point is 03:07:28 Yeah, that's where that started. And no heart. Yeah, that's what that started. No heart. They roofed us out here. You ever see this girl? I was nine on you. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:07:37 Hey, twin, you gotta relax. What? Yeah. You let me take you. If you ever see the Spanish guy's dad, just bring him to Atlanta. Yo, Spanish niggas, you know,
Starting point is 03:07:51 Spanish nicks get no love in Atlanta. No love. Yo. You don't tell me I got to love me. You got to relax. I'm not. You drive home. You drive.
Starting point is 03:08:02 He's a big job. He knows, man. He told me you had to bust off. before I drove the car, that's dead. Yeah, because he was loyledy. He stood there, let me tell you something. The Cuban bitches, the Venezuelan, Columbus. Listen, listen.
Starting point is 03:08:18 But when I got there, I saw a very authentic African-American-American. I was going crazy. Crazy, fuck. Real ass. I was going crazy. You got to relax, Trey. All right. Listen.
Starting point is 03:08:45 I'm so sorry. See, Bao, I've been through this, all right. Now I've been through this. But I was just looking at, JD. And you said, when Bow Wow, when Bowie was little, right? When Bow Wow was little, Uh-huh. Please tell us.
Starting point is 03:09:00 I had all these stripper girls around me, and Bowie just used to be like, yo, mad. Why? Because he was just bad at me because I had all the stripper girls. And the nigga was like, we took this trip to Dallas, and the nigga went crazy on the stripper girl on his bun. They got mad at him?
Starting point is 03:09:20 He was like a little kid, But he went crazy. Like, he was, like, almost, like, damnly tried to take everybody hostage or some crazy shit. Because he wanted this stripper so bad. He wanted this girl so bad. And when he got old enough,
Starting point is 03:09:39 he went to fuck all these girls that was like these old, these stripples said I used to fuck it. This nigga went in and go fuck all the girls. So, Bob, I wasn't going to bring this up. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry, because you know what I'm not.
Starting point is 03:10:01 not a gossip guy. But he's going to bring it up. But I got to bring it up because JD gave me the super out of leave. I'm just so dumb. So what is it? Media takeout? They're saying that you
Starting point is 03:10:12 responded to future. No, yeah, no, I've seen that. No, they, the media just took what I said and put it to put it to that story. If you want to be petty, you can be better. No, not at all. No, not at all.
Starting point is 03:10:25 It was actually about a check who I took to the islands. And that when I took it down to the island. No bullshit. Listen, no bullshit. I took the girl to the islands, and the whole time she was, you know, fronting like she didn't have a dude or whatever.
Starting point is 03:10:38 So when we got back home, my partner Slim was like, yo, did you know da-da-da-da-da? And I was like, I ain't spoke to where she ain't? No, no, no, no, I had nothing to do it. No, no, no, no do him. And when I seen who the nigger was, niggas is a celebrity.
Starting point is 03:10:55 The niggas are real sucker, though. So when I seen it, that's why I was like, oh, shit, like, I really had your, Bitch, in the Bahamas. And I see you now on Instagram, hugging, loving, holding her hand, kissing her now. Oh, that's just not to play a move.
Starting point is 03:11:11 Like, her mouth was in places. And so when I saw it, but the crazy shit is, she actually called me. When she called me, she said, hey, look, look, look, you know, can you just say, like, we was just broke, like, we was just kicking it, right? When I was in Atlanta, like, we wasn't doing nothing, right?
Starting point is 03:11:29 It's the first time. I'm like, what? the fuck you talking about but my mind click like oh shit she in front of her dude like i'm gonna just play along with it now we cool we ain't never we ain't never did nothing just to save her little relationship she had going on but i didn't know who the nigger was when i seen who the nigga was like oh this this nigga and that's what prompt me to put the tweet up about the broad she got real bow wow lost me all the way so that's how i don't know what's going on i'm lost i don't know what's going on either i'm old as fucking 40 years old i don't know
Starting point is 03:12:00 I'm in the Caribbean There's a bounder on my niggas, I believe him. It's alright. Whatever you believe him? I have no idea. Just whatever he said. It's true. It's true.
Starting point is 03:12:10 Don't do it, don't do it. Oh, man. No, he, not because he doesn't want to do it. My nigga got to pour little pajamas. You can't be telling you. You know, listen, Bob, listen, you're a great person. You can do whatever the fuck you want to do. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 03:12:30 about and that's the great thing about you. The thing is, it's a great conversation I just heard the other day. And they said, you know, you see a, you think of, here are a great artist. They say, yeah, all right, cool.
Starting point is 03:12:46 Well, they artistry starts from such and such. But when it's new school artists, you get to see them make mistakes from 14 all over here. Because we didn't have that back then. Back then, you had to do something in order for people to even recognize you.
Starting point is 03:13:06 But the new generation, they could throw out a record, and you can see their mistakes from the very beginning. And our eras, we really, like, you have to actually have a record label. Like, YouTube is everybody's record label. Absolutely. I want to say, if you speak on what you're saying, though, like, bow, I didn't make no mistakes. Like,
Starting point is 03:13:30 No, no, no, I was speaking, I was speaking about Bawa. No, no, I'm just saying. I'm saying, I'm saying, I think. Younger generation, I'm saying. Which is really weird because people always really got something to say about Bawa. He never really.
Starting point is 03:13:40 Not me. That's my nigga. Bawa's like the, like the funds. Hmm. The Fonsie. Like Fonzie. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:13:49 My nigga that is the Pover's Cowan. Yeah, Fonzie, bro. That's he is. Bauer's like, Happy Days. Niggas is mad at Bawa because he fucked their bitches. That, Bawa. That's your time, Bajie.
Starting point is 03:14:03 Why are you fighting all the pictures? Bailwa. You want to a shot? Come on. But it's facts. I'm going to end it like that. I'm just saying, like, you ain't really got no reason to be bad at Bawa. I sent you a ball.
Starting point is 03:14:12 Daddy pool, my nigga. I sent you. Yeah, we was dead. You get it in. He calls me. I got to catch this call. I'm going to get to the car. All right.

Starting point is 03:14:30 Thank you. Always, man. But Bauer was a big supporter of this show, by the way. Thank you. Thank you, man. That's all right. Great guests. Great guests.
Starting point is 03:14:42 Listen, I'm going to be honest. Just in case both of y'all don't know, I'm going to reiterate what we represent. There has never been an outlet in media where a rapper is controlling what rap media listens to. Yeah. I don't know how I did it. I don't know how. how to fuck me and this motherfucker came up with his idea. But for some
Starting point is 03:15:03 reason, people come in, tune in and they listen to this. And if you don't believe me, you will see it on your social media. You will see it. Because you've seen it when you did rap radio. It's my bad. I know this nigga since Impact
Starting point is 03:15:21 invention. All right. But that's all our people. We're not dissing them. And we don't want to be in competition for nobody. That's not what we do. We just want to have fucking fun. I mean, you was really trolling them that day. No, no, no. He's a troll-ass motherfucker right.
Starting point is 03:15:33 Because I know me. You wasn't trolling me. You was trolling them. Nah, I was trolling you. I'm just to keep it on. You were like, you know, fuck with him. You was like,
Starting point is 03:15:41 you know, fuck with him. Listen, listen, that time Impact Convention in Reno, Nevada, I don't know if you were to kill all of us. This is West Coast against everybody that day. So anybody who stood in that lobby, I respect it. And I still don't know.
Starting point is 03:15:57 I still don't. felt any, they were never talking about me. Nah, because you, by the way, that's go back to the puff daddy thing. They were talking about me. You know why, you made global music. I made straight music at that time.
Starting point is 03:16:10 I made music, and especially I had a record called L.A.L. So I stood down there. And it was only a couple of people that stood down there. You stood down. And I said, you, JD, can I buy you a drink? And you said that shit to me. You said, I want Don Perry on.
Starting point is 03:16:26 I said, damn, I didn't know what that was. I turned around And Nilevin said He won what That's the dawn period That shit was like 460 at that time I said I can't

Starting point is 03:16:47 Now anytime I see Jady And you know what These years later You probably didn't even know What that moment meant to me You was probably the only East Coast nigger that stood there
Starting point is 03:17:00 standing with me. I don't even want to talk about, there's other people that was there, but they went upstairs. At some point they found their girl and I stood there. You know the only person I stood there with? My uncle Wise. This is my
Starting point is 03:17:18 mother's brother. And my uncle Wise just stood there and you didn't know what you did. You're just like, yeah, I said, let me buy you a drink. And you said, yeah, I drink. Don Perry on. I didn't know what that was. But I went and I went and I did that.
Starting point is 03:17:35 And you stood there with him. And then E-40 woke. This is all on the podcast. This is all documented. And then the E-40 came because they were all right there. But they were like, that thing I'm made L-A-L-A. But now I'm on the Superdard.
Starting point is 03:17:54 What, what, what, what? I have a little one record in the country. You got to relax. But I don't know how to tell him, relax. I don't know how. But I'm like, yo, I'm not a sucker. I stood right in front of them, niggins. And then E40 came and then Jermaine DeBree came.
