Let's make some noise for you just raping a lot of record labels. a long time. Let's make some noise for you, just raping a lot of record labels.

Let's try to run it down, Murda. Def Jam? Was Def Jam one of them? Violator? Because that was like a management, but a record label thing. Go all the way back though. Go all the way back. First I was with Rough Riders.

First I started with Rough Riders. I forgot that part. But they ain't cut no checks. Keep it real. It was a light check. It was like, shut out the D and Y. But they know it was like, it was $10,000. I was like, shit, we got this already? I got $5,000 for tragedy.

I feel like I got jerked again. Who else you was with? Oh yeah, Ruff Ryders, Def Jam, Valator, Epic with all my ladies. LA Weed. That's some checks right there. Listen to me. I know. I know. And who else? That's it? That was it right there. And then how about you? You raped Atlantic. Universal first. Mamossan Universal first. Word, okay. I got signed to Universal first. Okay. Yeah, Tone from Trapmaster signed me.

Because remember he was running Motown with Sylvia Rowe, Universal. So I got signed there first, like oh five. And then TI came in? Oh no, I got dropped. I got dropped from Universal. You know what I mean? Because I came in, I had to make a record called Rumors. I remember Rumors.

Rumors put me in the door. So then I got signed. I want to say, was it 05, 06? Yeah around that time. And I was signed like two years and then shit was happening. At Universal? Yeah, nothing was happening. But I ain't know, I thought the label was supposed to just do all the work. You know, you just coming off the street so you thinking like so long as I get a record deal right you on then it's yeah rocket out the door yeah but it wasn't like that so then they dropped me and when they dropped me it's when I started talking to Atlantic mmm and then I went over there now that Tia was talking to you before Atlantic?

Because we all thought you was going to slime with T.I. Right, right. What happened was, Craig wanted to do the deal directly. Craig Cameron you're talking about. Yeah, definitely. We was trying to work it out with, you know, I would have been grand hustle, you know, slash Atlantic, but it just ain't worked out. You know what I mean?

I think Craig felt like He was already doing a deal so it didn't matter because your first hit was with Atlantic right? Yeah, my first hit actually when Universal dropped me when I had no deal is when I went and made The record that was my first hit high hater. So when I when I had that meeting was my first hit, High Hater. So when I had that meeting, the meeting, we was talking, and then shout out to my brother, 80, he was talking to 50, he was up in the office with 50 one night, and he was like, yo, what y'all doing?

He was like, man, we talking to Atlantic, man, but they beating me feet. He said, word? He said, them niggas, all right, what you need me to do? He said, whatever. He picked up the phone, he called Craig, and was like, listen, what you doing with Mayno? He said whatever he picked up the phone call He called Craig and was like listen what you doing with Mayno and who you speak about 50 Okay, 50 picked up the phone called him was like what you doing with Mayno and he was like, uh

He said man shit, I would do it. Right. That was that that was that they caught I had a meeting that night All right, you know and that's and then I had that record already done. Let's make some noise for 50 helping and then I had that record already done. Let's make some noise for 50 helping this crazy record. Yeah. Whoa. Whoa. Now, because I'm going to say, because you know, I'm going to be honest.

The first time I seen New York try to unite was High Hater. When High Hater came out, everybody, it didn't matter where Burrow you was from, everybody was like, yo, stop what you're doing and support Mayno. Like, it was the first time I see people do that like from Sam Cresco like it was I was getting awkward calls like people that don't call like you know, hey You know, we support me and I was like damn Jesus that was the like the first time the wave right there

Yeah, that was the way the first Look into you know, I mean doing something big like that. definitely. Now how did y'all come together, Uncle Murda? Like I know y'all cool, all that, but you know, at the end of the day this is business, you know what I'm saying? You got a whole entity on your own, he got his whole entity on his own. So what was the final decision? How did y'all make this happen? I mean this was long overdue, you know what I mean?

That's like my brother right there, man. We got our peoples, we got mutual friends and shit like that. Everybody rock with each other. And we just been rocking with each other forever. So we got about 30 to 40 records with each other prior to this period. Just through the years. Just through the years.

By the way, we work with y'all. Exactly, definitely. We've been. Yeah, we made one of those projects. That's right, that's right. So it was just time and something we've been. Yeah, we made one of those projects. That's right, that's right. That's right. It was just time and something we've been talking about forever. My boy was like, yo, listen, man, I got the studio.

Let's just go. Now you dropped this project independent? Yeah. Okay, cool, cool. Now we seeing Baby, we seeing y'all around Baby, right? And we see that he also did Compton Minutes, AR App, and it seems like he's trying to include y'all in the bunch. What can you say? I mean, it ain't no bunch.

It's about dope music. We out here making dope music. Absolutely. You know, shout out to every one of them. I respect every one of them. But all that's yet to be seen, you know what I mean? I respect Baby and what they did and what they do. I respect the brand, but if we could get the business done, cool.

We got some things. We definitely got a smoker with them. Shout out to London on the track, too. We got a record gang, gang, gang. We're letting the business... That's in the video, right? Yeah, video done and all that So we just trying to see, we just trying to work it out

You feel me if we can work it out I mean at the end of the day like you know I can give you a million baby stories and that is great and then there's people that can give you a million baby stories that's bad Is that something that came across your mind or Listen I tell niggas like this man, when When you come out your house, they tell you, don't sell drugs, there's a good chance you gonna go to jail. We did that anyway.

Facts. Don't grab that firearm and shoot that man because you might go to jail. We did that anyway. Right. You understand? Don't shoot at the police. We did that anyway.

All right. Let's make some noise for the police. Yeah. Yeah. It's like this man, it's like, you know, anything can be worked around. Like I'm a very conscious business minded person, like so I'm not going to step into a situation I don't feel like it's going to benefit me or murder in, that's going to benefit us to the maximum. You understand?

We know the pros fucking with baby. Put it like that. We know what we can get. But it's pros and cons anyway. It's pros and cons. It's how it's going to go left, but we know how it's going to go right as well. So that's all we know.

Everything is a risk. Anything. The whole industry is a risk. That's what I'm saying. So they don't, it's no, I don't think it's gray though or lesser. You know, when I looked at it, I'm sorry to cut you off, but when I looked at it, sometimes when

a person does mess up, it's like, I can make it right through you. You know what I'm saying? Facts, definitely. You know what I'm saying? I could have did mad, bad shit, but now I'm fucking with you, and as long as I keep having you saying, yo, that nigga ain't do it to me, that nigga ain't do it to me, then it's a trick or a fact. you know what I'm saying? And perfect way to start with the streets.

And it's a perfect New York artist. Like at the end of the day, you guys, I could throw you in fucking the jungles at LA for a month and you still gonna sound like a New York nigga. Like I lived in Miami almost 10 years and nobody has never told me I sound like a Miami nigga because Cause I'm a New York nigga. You know what I'm saying? And y'all unity is something that we need. You know what I'm saying? It's something that we need because Leo Collins told me this one day, but this was cause he was being cheap. But he told

me, he was like, I am more interested in Capone and Noriega together. And I was like, he was like, you know, you guys have excellent solo careers by yourself, but Capone and Noriega together. And I was like, he was like, you know, you guys have excellent solo careers by yourself, but Capone and Noriega together, I want to invest into that. And I was like, this nigga just don't want to pay for the two solo. But he was right though, when you invest in the group, like that's why it definitely should be a major,

like coming when you guys come together. Because it makes all the sense in the world. We understand business-wise, and just for the culture, just for where we from, just for that turf that we from, and when they was perpetuating all the shit about us not working together, New York not making dope music, and we ain't in the game the way we supposed to do. Said, Murda, let's come together and show these niggas and inspire these niggas and show them that two niggas up from best I from East New York right we could come together

Rock out you understand We could get it in that and that helps build real estate for us cuz now we could do group deal Solo deals you do know what I mean? Definitely. It's unlimited shit man. I'm going to make some noise for y'all once again man because. I'm going to try to fuck now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're re-filing this shit. Come on, drink some more Patron. I'm drinking. We're trying to motivate people to rob niggas. Yeah, yeah. We got to have that. And fuck niggas bitches. And listen, and listen, you got to be filing.

We don't want to know what happened. She was definitely with me. She was definitely with me. She was definitely with me. What happened? We don't want to know what happened, but just say the truth. But on the real though, and we able to laugh at it right now, but it really bothered me that it happened to her on my watch. You understand?

I was talking about this with Bermuda who told me. He's like, yo, he just got a, yo, but let me just tell you. Let me just tell you. First time I ever went to the tunnel, we got our ass whipped, right? I mean, pulmarized. I never went to the tunnel again, unless I had 200 niggas with me.

So, fat gorillas, too. I didn't want to bring the pups. So, we gorillas too. I didn't want to bring the pups. So we got kicked out of every club in New York City. That's how I discovered Reggae Thumb. So anytime a person say, you fucked up, you did Spanish music. They didn't let me in no clubs in New York.

That was the only clubs I could go to. I got turned fully Spanish. But there hasn't been people with that bad rap until you guys. Yeah, we don't deserve it though. You don't deserve it. You guys are great guys. But for right now? I told a nigga, I called a nigga.

You had to live last night. Yeah, we just rocked till it lived down. That's right, we called a nigga. I called. No problems was there. Never, never, never. We performed, it was good, good energy. Nobody got shot, stabbed or nothing fucked up

And check a nigga Promoter basically I'd have a conversation with them with him and say listen homie in all your years of booking me Have I ever came in your venue and ever? Disrupted it if I ever started anything have I ever caused you to lose out on money Have I ever disrupted anything has uncle murder ever been an issue for you right now? Bro, so when our names come up and people try to perpetuate that I would think that you will give them the real If they don't know nigga, that's a fact Like if my if if a nigga speaking on nori and what he's saying is not right and I'm in a vicinity

Right. It should be my duty to say nah, bro. That ain't that ain't right There's a rumor that when you guys come out you guys can't get in the club. Nah, that ain't true. We get in, I get in, it's not a club. Unless they call the police first. Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's fucked up, let's make some noise for that. That part is true. That's fucked up.

The police gotta be notified. God damn it. That's true. I ain't ever free, thank you. I was like, it's a bit wilder than me. I can't, I can't, that's true. That's true, that's true. Supposedly they gotta call the police.

The police, so hold on. I let them know that we coming. Break this down how this happens. Y'all show up. Mm-hmm. The security comes out. Nah, there is no issue when we show up. That's the thing. There's no issue.

Listen, I just put a record and just for the people that listen. But they got a private line. They don't call 911. It's like a get a call? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They got a private, they got the hip hop police. It's not a club in New York City. Yes that I cannot walk into America you know you understand but

Little bit more drunk We talking about the city right? It's all about New York right love my city It's not it's not a club in New York City that me and Uncle Murda can't walk into. It's just that this, you know, this aura. And I tell a nigga, like, when has anything ever happened? Right.

I invited you to my crib, you brung 15 people, and we all ate. Let's make some noise. I mean, you know, this is one of my favorite moments in life. Not in hip hop. One of my favorite moments in life, Maynard's out there popping. I'm so proud of him. I know him, but we don't really know each other, but I know him. And I told Maynard, I said, yo, and not just in hip hop, this is one of my favorite moments in life. I looked over to Maynard, I said, yo, we're going to go barbecue, throw some fried chicken,

you know, come to the crib. That nigga looked at me like, I'm Mano North. You see what I mean? Like, I just came home from kidnapping. You gonna invite me to your house? And I was like, yeah, nigga, I got this show. Like, I mean, that's the only thing you owe me

is to do that to a next artist coming up. Because he had to, like, really warn me. Like, and I'm like, yo, nigga, I'm a niggas nigga. I told you. I told you. I said, damn, man, nobody invited me to their house. Make some noise for Norrie. Everybody make some noise.

Make some noise for this niggas. Because his reaction was one of my favorite reactions in life. It's because, like I never had nobody try to show me something else. I never had nobody try to stare me in a different direction. I ain't they OGs, you know, I don't believe in that shit. But at the end of the day, I'm in this game and I came in before y'all. So it's only right to like, yo nigga, look, I live on live on the beach and look at that water right there look at them fluorescent lights nigga look at them cooked fried chicken

definitely real talk real talk that was one of my favorite moments in life and not only that is that I know you guys you know I'm saying you guys are real dudes but at the end of the day you're getting a bad slack right now so that's one of the reasons I wanted you guys to come on. So how do you think you could fix this situation? Because somebody said, yo, I think they got to start doing charities and all that. But when you do that, it makes you look guilty. Yeah, that looks crazy.

It makes you look more guilty like you're going to a school, popping up and just buying computers. That's something. You did something, man. You did something. You said you're just going to school, spot them. You know turkeys and shit. Now I'ma tell you what we do.

We just keep doing what we doing, right? Doing positive shit, powerful dope music, right? We both got music out, you understand? I just put out a video today, you understand? And we ain't doing charity, but what we doing, we doing something tomorrow, right? We got this thing that we started, Brooklyn Unified, where we bringing all the Brooklyn artists, the young new ones coming up, and we get them all in the room, we gonna have

real talk with them. We gonna have the press there, Fox News is gonna be there, and we gonna get them real talk. And this ain't about put your fucking guns down. This ain't none of that. This is real talk. If you still got a shooter nigga, shoot a nigga. But what we're trying to say is where you do it at. Right.

Don't say that on TV. I mean, don't say that on TV. Go ahead, Murda, continue. I understand what he's saying. Go ahead, Murda. Take him to the side. Take him to the side and shoot him. Murda, my troll is working.

Murda, my troll is working murder patrol is working so where is the great place to shoot an area? he's got designated shooting area we need a designated shooting area yo I ain't gonna lie I forget what state it was they had a war zone you could go to war just in this area. I forget

America like you go to war but just here just an area just in that area like and if you anywhere around it It was different. So that's crazy. Well, I'm late for me guys mom's crib There's different places you can catch a nigga. Kids don't have to get shot by all this shit. Let's not fuck up the situation. Because in New York, y'all had the, what was the name of that precinct that y'all just did a doctorate in?

75. The 75 precinct, see that was like the dirtiest, grimmiest precinct. That's why like, real talk, growing up, first shooting at the police was kind of like nothing. Because they invited, no, when I say that is they invited the challenge. They knew, they knew.

They was banging too. You got to describe it, you got to describe it. So they was coming up to y'all saying, and knew, it's on. A lot of niggas got shot by police in my hood, even one of my homies. They knew niggas was beefing so they come through with hoodies on, no badge, ain't now. All they doing is coming around the corner. They know niggas is armed up already anyway. So the first nigga that scale that wall,

we backing out banging. You know what I'm saying? So that's why it was so easy to catch the 10th murder on police in my hood. Yo, that documentary was great. What's the documentary? What is it? Dirty.

Yo, it is like, what is it called, the 75th? Let's go 75. Let's go 75. 75. 75. Yo, my dude, I ain't gonna front. B.Dot from Rap Radar. They played dirty. What is it called? The 75th? The 75th. 75th. 75th. 75th. They played dirty.

Yo, my dude, I ain't going to front B-Dot from Rap Radar. This randomly hit me. He was like, I know you're a documentary guy, right? I said, yeah. He said, watch this shit. And it gave you the history of East New York. East New York was a notorious hood, always. Every nigga I was ever in jail with from East New York had a body.

Let's make some noise for them niggas. Whoa! That's all them niggas do. Listen, I meet a nigga and I'm like, yo, where you from Marcy? East New York? East New York? You got a body. How you know? So, I'm watching this documentary and then it's crazy because this is the day I was going to actually change my name of my company from Militame La Compañia. I was going to name it La Compañia.

I thought I made this up. I thought I made this up. That was the name of this shit. And I was watching the documentary and I was like, oh shit, these niggas' names is La Compañia. And them niggas was ill. And then they had these people, and then they had the old detective saying how foul they was and how normal it was. The same detectives were talking shit about themselves?

Yeah, because this is way past seven years. This is way past. Right through doubt. They even had the ex-drug dealers. Everybody was convicted, the charges is gone, but. Statue of limitations. That's what it's called, statue of limitations. We heard of these shits.

We heard of the precinct in the Bronx. We heard of the precincts in Queens Bridge that killed Rich Kid. You know what I'm saying? But I ain't never get a chance to see it. That's my first time looking at East New York from a cop's view, and that shit was not pretty. That shit was not pretty. The police ain't give a fuck. I mean, even when you get shot, they come over there,

poppin' shit to you. Oh, niggas finally got you, huh? Because you had beef with Bill O'Reilly, right? You think you're going to die before the fucking ambulance gets here? You had beef with Bill O'Reilly? Yeah, we had beef with Bill O'Reilly. We ain't made no money.

You got to keep me in here. I didn't hear my man no more. I got to hear this shit. We had beef with Bill O'Reilly. So how did that go down, man? Fuck Bill Riles. Let's get this out there. Yeah, fuck Bill Riles. I was hoping to get a fucking like an interview with the niggas or something, because Maynard

was like, oh, you really going hard with that, so I said, yeah, I'm going to run with this shit to the wheels for a little fuck it. So I was hoping to actually get an interview with the nigga to smack the shit out of him, curse him out or something. Oh, you'd have been lucky you'd have smacked Bill Riles. Trust me, I know I wouldn't have been super lit. I wouldn't have been dead for a minute. You'd have been likeacked Bill. Trust me, I know I wouldn't have been super lit. I wouldn't have been dead for him.

You would have been super lit. You would have been like two years, but you would have been a hero. You would have came home like Pop. I would have been a hero. I would have been a hero. You would have never done it in person. You would have came home like Pop. Definitely.

He did an interview with Cam, and Cam shut him down. He does rap rap is all about. He did? He did. That's what Cam wanted. Cam wanted infamous. Yeah, because Cam said he wouldn't snitch, and then he starts giving Bill, and then that's Cam shut him down. He doesn't mad rappers on him. He did. He did. Cam won his infamous. Because Cam said he went and snitched and then he starts giving bail and then that's

what Cam was like, you mad. You mad. That's where that meme come from. So how did this beef start? We had pointed me and Mayno. Oh shit. You know I got them. Y'all had a police officer.

Y'all had a gun to a police officer. We had pointed a gun to a police officer. Y'all got him fired. Let's make some noise for y'all getting him fired. I remember that. I remember that. But what's the gun? It was officer. We had pointed a gun to a cop. You got him fired. Let's make some noise for y'all. Get him fired. I don't remember that. I don't remember that.

But what's the good? It was a picture. It was a video. And we was having a video shoot. It was a video shoot. For a song that we was doing. And the song was actually positive, too. They tried to spin it, man.

And then I wanted to take a picture. With the cop. Like that. That's art. That's art. So it was a picture. It was a picture for my Instagram. This is where it come from.

And what happened was, somebody said, murder, yeah you too. And we both going, going to have this thing. Listen guys, I saw this interview trying to clear y'all up. Yes. Yeah. Y'all were helping me at all. It was a picture.

So, so what happened was the fuck bag director. Drink some more. The fuck pussy ass nigga director. The director fucked up now. He put it in the video. What's his name? Oh, he didn't want it in the video. It wasn't for the video.

I told the nigga. What I told the nigga was, I said, listen, if you put the, if you leave this, I told him to take it out. If you leave it in there though, it's going overshadow what we trying, what the message. Right, right, right, right. Cause all they gonna do is talk about that. And instead of it being having a message, we gonna have to find, we gonna be trying to downplay that.

We gonna have to fight against that instead of going with the fucking message. It's no longer about the message now. Niggas getting killed by the police, this is what we talking about. We trying to really say some real shit and- But y'all didn't have real guns, it was like your hands It was like no it was on and he was a actor. He was that No Oh, no, um, Freddie Wilde got the principal fire. Yeah Lawyers fine wait wait wait hold up

What was it the Bronx defense The police, I guess, was mad because they was involved with the whole thing. So they wound up getting fired. In the same video? They was getting like 20 million in here. I'm never coming to Uncle Murda made a video. You can do a documentary on the one video. Shit happens. Shit happens. Shit happens.

Shit happens. Yo, listen, man. You guys are making history. But you know what's crazy? They was only working for the states, and now they actually working for the feds. So they actually came up fucking with us. They said they was actually happy they did that shit, fucked the state, and now they federal and they getting bigger funding.

So they probably went from 20 million to about 30, 40 million a year now. Wait, but roll back to the Bill O'Reilly shit. We ain't finished that. What happened there? How did that get back to Bill O'Reilly? I mean, he was just mad because me and Maynard was pointing the gun to a cop head and he tried to make it seem like I actually was happy that part of the video was in there. I was like, I'm just saying.

You would be. It seemed like you would be. He's so sad, baby. It's like my evil twin brother. I love that. You know what? I knew both of y'all individually, but now we're in the same place. It's like my evil twin brother. I love that. You know what?

I knew both of y'all individually, but now we see y'all. This nigga bugged the fuck out. You know what's crazy? You know what's crazy? Is sometimes you got to have a homie that stops you from doing something stupid, and then sometimes you got to have a homie that does that. Fuck! But you know what?

But you know how to have a homie. And y'all both! Y'all both do each other. He stops me from doing a lot of shit, right? But I promise you. Like, like, like... But I promise, no, no, no. Don't let him get the little bit pissed off.

I tried, nigga. All the way did us wrong Like so Come on, I'm just saying. I'm an internet guy. Let the layman know, the layman don't know. Yo, this is what makes me curious.

He would never say anything like that. Let's make some noise for me. Ain't nobody. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. It was awkward. Oh, shit.

Okay, well. I don't know. Okay, well. Who's the man that you're talking about? Who's the man that you're talking about? A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives

but how can I be more than amazing? How can I push more? How can I push more? How can I do more? You always felt like you didn't fit in. I had to come to terms with the fact that I don't think I'm ever going to fit in, and why would I want to? We don't wanna let people down.

We want people to be happy. We don't wanna break someone's heart, but the reality is that is how the way things go. I feel like a villain for doing it, for hurting someone, and this may be a hard thing to say but sometimes hurting someone actually aids the growth of another person.

It's like, holy shit. So I click on it. But the funny thing about it was, Mano was there. But he was quiet. Wait, is this a video you're watching? This is the breakfast club, god damn it. Let's bring the Breakfast Club up. And I've never met K. Michelle. K. Michelle is cool with me.

But I just thought it was awkward. And then the next time I see you on Shade 45, you actually did apologize. Yeah, I apologized. The apology was not sincere at all. At all. Was it Goon phone calls or no, that didn't happen? No, no. She threatened you with Goon phone calls, correct?

No, we was actually waiting for the Goon part. You never got the Goon part? We never got the Goon part. Goons, you gotta call, god damn it. You gotta call. You gotta make your presence be known. My number been the same for ten years. Your number is the same, that is a fact.

I lost your number and then went through my phone and had it. I said, oh shit. Yeah, definitely. Your number is been the same for ten years. Your number is the same. That is a fact. I lost your number and then went through my phone and had it. That's a little shit. Your number is still the same. So you never lost it then? No, I lost all contacts. And then I backed up and I had all old contacts. So yeah, it's cool though. It's cool. Yeah, no, it was cool, man.

Okay. And, man, did you smash? What? What? I ain't hear it. Me neither. What happened? Did you smash? I don't talk like that It's just the guys in this room. I don't talk like that though. No, but um, you did 10 years though. That shit fuck your list up. But let me just ask, you did 10 years.

So you making up for them 10 years baby. Let's make some noise for you making up for them 10 years. Olivia too, is that true? I heard about her. I was still asking murder. So what happened was one day him and Shorty was rolling, right? The love of hip hop. Your hit list is pretty nice though. You know the thing is this.

You and Benzino got a great hit list. Right, but if I talk about it, then it's going to fuck up the future hit list. They going to say this nigga, he... Let's make some noise for No Pillow Talkin'. Exactly, I was going to give his ass some pussy, but then I was going to throw him something, but I see him on the podcast talking down, so he don't even know how to hold pussy. Let's make some noise for Mano. He trying to keep his dick relevant out here

That's a rule You got you know when that dick relevant. When a bitch that you meet be like, I heard about you. Do you get, I heard about you ass? Is that how it goes down? I get a lot of that. I heard about you ass. That's some of the best. That's real.

Because they got something to prove. They trying to outdo the next motherfucker. That's good. So what would Sonny think would never be relevant? I don't want to talk about nobody else. I just know my relevance of my face. Sonny got the OGs. My man Sonny, he has an ARP card.

You know what that is? No. That's when you're 50 year old, you get an ARP card. He's relevant in the 1920s. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, he got to hurry up. His chest hair is ridiculous. Oh, damn it.

So you guys, so what's the next move for murder at Maino or murder by itself? What's the next move? I mean, I'm working on the project, the Lindley Green story that's coming soon. I was going to tell you. Let me tell you something. The Lin, what is it, Leonard?

Leonard. Listen, I think you should go with Leonard. Yo was gonna tell you, let me tell you something. The Len... What is it? Leonard? Leonard. Listen, I think you should go with Leonard. Yo, you know what man? Let me tell you why, cause Leonard is still a name of a killer. That's a fact. If a nigga named Leonard from East New York, he kills somebody. He kills somebody.

That's why I had to act up, not saying I did nothing. But that's why I had to act instead of... I call the nigga Lenny X. That's hard. With the glasses. Oh, with the glasses. I call the nigga Lenny X. That's hard. With the glasses. Oh, with the glasses. I didn't even peep the Mopham X. There you go.

You know what I mean? But nah, I'm really working on the Lenny Grant story right now so I'm trying to transition also. LG, that used to be my nickname. Lafayette Gardens too, right? Nah, nah, I wasn't from Lafayette Gardens. I had a couple of shootouts over there though. Oh, okay.

Pick up the shootouts at Lafayette Gardens. Yeah, big out to the shooters. But yeah, Lenny Grant. I got cousins in pink houses. I don't even see themouts over there. Oh, okay. Pick up the shootouts a lot of your gardeners. They got to the shooters But um, yeah, Loni Graham cousins and pink houses. I don't even see them niggas. They some foul me You know best I used to know we, we not usually. Y'all don't fuck with each other, right? Listen, listen, this is, you know that was the most beautiful part of me and Capone's relationship was the fact that now you can go to left rack, you always going to see somebody

from Queens Bridge. You go to Queens Bridge now, you always going to see somebody from left rack. And me and Capone didn't know what we was doing, so I know that y'all are a lot smarter than me and Capone,'t know what we was doing. So I know that y'all a lot smarter than me and Capone You know I'm saying and I'm saying like when we were doing it, we was too young to um And it revolutionizes your hood, you know I'm saying because it's like it's like they might have not fucked with me No, they might be like man and best style niggas But they didn't own it coming around with you and then now your niggas start hanging around this in this thing

You know those wall it breaks down those walls definitely you unifying the hoods right you unifying the borough mm-hmm which which helps unify the city that's right that's right you know that's right that's how that do shout out to Mayno being the second nigga to eat on our podcast tacked on with the tacked on with the salad kale salad though it was awkward he He ate salad and doucet. Let's make some noise for him, trying to keep it balanced. So now, we just recently got the news that Trey Ab dodged the actual murder charges. Let's make some noise for Trey Ab.

Big up to Hovain as well and Youngleto. So, how did it feel that night when you guys was there? Like I know you touched on the fact. But it was a beautiful night to be honest. It was a beautiful night. It was a beautiful night. You think it's a cloud over TI? Because it seems like it's TI almost.

He asked me something, something like that. Who TI asked you? That's beautiful. He was That's like yo, you know I was that he asked me that but what he said was he said yo, we was talking on phone like It's like, you know, we got to try to get away from the bullshit homie Like we got it. He's like damn man do it do it never really get away from it. Right, you know, man Care rest one says something in the lyric back in the days and it stuck with me for the rest of my life.

He said, watch what you say because you're attracted. So if I'm going to be talking about blowing balloons and doing clown shit, that's what's going to come out. But if you constantly, and I don't think, I think Tia's music has actually matured. I think that his crowd hasn't. And not only that, it's like- We do know this don't have nothing to do with him. No we know that, but at the end of the day, sometimes it's energy.

Sometimes you can just wake up in the morning and somebody could give you bad energy like the door ban or you know you go downstairs and somebody give you bad energy and you just have a bad day. And I just feel like I feel like it was something wrong. It was something. Why is that? What I mean is sometimes it's a black cloud that follows over the over. A black cloud right? Yeah a black cloud. You said black crowd for a second.

I don't really believe in that. I believe in what you, what you, I believe shit just happened. I think that shit just happened. It's randomness. Like it just was a random situation that happened there. I don't think it was necessarily something like following T.I. Right, maybe that situation could have happened somewhere else.

Yeah, it could have happened somewhere else. It for sure could have happened somewhere else. Or somebody else's concert. I don't think that really reflected Tip or us or any of that. They tried to portray that. I hated the fact that they leaned on y'all. Y'all names were brought up. I hated that fact because it was a TI show. Y'all names was on the bill.

You have all right to be there. Like you know what I'm saying? And they make it seem like we shouldn't have been there. They make it seem like y'all snuck in. You know what I'm saying? Like y'all snuck in and they cleared your name. Your name didn't really pop up. It was one guy who said, what'd he say?

Why you ain't help or some shit like that? I don't know about that. Yeah, me neither. Yeah, that's a stranger. They tried to say that me and Homie had a problem and that's what started it. They tried to find a place or find a story to fit around- Something to tie you guys in together. They tied me because I was still on the scene, shorty got hit.

I was looking disheveled. And then when I think about it, when one of the police is like, hey man, didn't you have on a chain? I was like, yeah, it popped. Yo, so somebody tried to snatch it, right? I start laughing like, you know, they actually that on the spot the hospital, okay, so I guess they They they really just made that up, right? You know what I'm saying? Like me and dude never had a problem Never had an issue if anything if they really looked they will always see that I always supported right what they was doing

so, you know, it just it's just bad because When it when you trying to do other shit You don't need that summer jam was coming. We almost got kicked off Because of that So people thinking that we were surprised guess we really was right we had our set right but We almost got pulled. And because of that, they couldn't announce it. They couldn't announce our name. So people thinking that we were surprised, guess who it really wasn't. We had our set, but we couldn't be announced. So then here comes the-

Certain clubs not wanting to let us in. As much as I was laughing earlier, I was playing around and I was laughing because that really hurt me. That shit do fucks up the money. I'm going to be honest, it really hurt me because when I realized that my city didn't even stand up, I'm going to be honest, I wanted Peter Gation to say, that nigga Norm is a good dude. When I got kicked out of the tunnel, I used to have to meet with Peter Gation.

I used to sit down, go to lunch with this nigga, and I used to pay the bill on purpose because I wanted him to judge me on the character that he just met me so I always paid the bill and not once did he say, nah maybe it's his crew, like he never said that, he just let me take the hit you know what I'm saying? Like they and then the Hot 97 shooting like I just was finished and at the end of the day nobody whenever they bring up the Hot 97 shooting and I I'm not trying, I just gotta address this because I seen motherfuckers tweet out that link the other day, this is the only time in hip hop history that they put Nori before Capone.

Like all the time they always say Capone and Nori A. But they were like, the Hot 97 shoot in with Nori and Capone. And I'm like, yo! I'm like, yo, holy fuck up! What was this, what was this? I thought about it and I seen the link yesterday. Oh, yeah. A nigga I fucked with tweaked the link too.

And I'm like, oh, and I was going to say, Norrie wasn't there, but I was like, you know what? I'm perpetuating the story, so I'm going to just let it go. But you know, I really do pray that these people do actually sit down and kick it with y'all because at the end of the day, I know you guys are these people do actually sit down and kick it with y'all because at the end of the day, I know you guys are great people, man. I know you guys are sitting here letting me joke with y'all like that. This is real shit.

The thing about hip hop is they wanna... When something's bad, they wanna glorify that because they wanna shut you down. A lot of times it's the hip-hop Publications and blogs right but I wait that well No, but in this in this situation because I'm gonna tell you right now like when that shit happened, right? I saw the headlines. I believed it. I'm like, oh shit It's like clickbait, you know why the fuck they had uncle murder and may know this You know why the fuck they had uncle murder in Maine over there? In this situation it wasn't even like the hip-hop blogs that started it was the news

It was like daily news and the post it was very unresponsive Very irresponsible because everything that they wrote about was untrue me and him was never on stage. Yeah Yeah, I know that I know that part. We never got off the stage and we wasn't opening up. It's like they not even doing journalism no more. Right. So nobody- We was getting brought out during the set. We was going to get brought out during Tip's set. Yeah, that's what I heard. Her tip was bringing out everybody. He was bringing us out on his set. Now what happened was,

the time that we living in right now, it ain't no real journalism. It's sensationalism. Yeah. Yeah. It's sensationalism. It's called clickbait. Yeah, talk about it. It's all about what looks and sounds juicy. Nobody even give a fuck no more. About the truth.

About the truth. The truth, it's about what sounds like something juicy to talk about. And people getting hurt over that shit. If the lie is more sexy, they're going to roll with the lies. Because the truth never sound that good. Right. So when I say, yo, I wasn't on the stage. I wasn't, I don't know, I never had a problem with him. That don't sound like you.

That don't sound, that don't sound cool. Don't sound dope. That's like these bitches that be lying, acting like they know how to suck dick, hoping the nigga buy them a ass. And then they give you 90s head. And then they give you 90s head. That's what you're saying. Wait, 90s head? No, we don't you 90s head. And then they give you 90s head. That's what you say. Wait, 90s head? No, we don't do 90s head.

We wasn't using spit back then. Oh, all right, all right. I didn't expect, at least you're more the 90s than flat boys. No, no, no. I like what's happening. Not the 90s, no. We don't do 90s. Old school face.

Yeah, man. I mean, you know, New York, we really, we really, the thing about what I tell people all the time is the reason why the 90s, and I know you just said the 90s, was it was easier to break music is because you had to go to the tunnel. Like I don't give a fuck who you was. I don't care if you was Outkast. I don't care if you was, you know what I'm saying, Jay Z, if you was motherfucking, you know what I'm saying, Jay Z, if you was motherfucking, you know what I'm saying, Lockjaw, McRaw, if it was the 90s, you had to go through the tunnel.

There was gatekeepers in the 90s. Good and bad, there was gatekeepers. That's what it was. You had to go through speed. You had to go through the carbon. But there was places that we could come, hang out, and break your records. Right. You got to realize, the tunnel was the size of two Costco's.

We don't have a club like that no more. You gotta, like you just gotta think about it. Like I used to hang out in a tunnel. Like KOD. My board, my people, it's like KOD. But like, you know, it's no bitches dancing. But you gotta realize the tunnel, like me and you could both be in a tunnel the same night and if the DJ don't shout you out, I wouldn't even know who was there

That's how big it was and we would come to play these records like T on why first got played at the tunnel Like we went to the tunnel and said flex play this and flex play this site play this and Big cap golf that's a dad play this we don't have that no more. But the culture different now though. No, the culture different. It's totally different. Because of the internet. No, not even. I'm talking about as far as the clubs.

If you look at New York, we probably got more strip clubs than anybody now. Yeah, that's crazy. So the culture's changed. Really? Yeah. The culture's changed. So now it's not so much about the regular club. Now, we kind of embrace Southern culture.

No, we didn't. Yeah, because in Miami you always broke a record in the strip club. In New York it's the same way now. In New York, I remember it was bad to- Shout out to all them doctors that's helping the ladies with- Yeah, with the butts, the butts, right? I remember you was considered a trick if you threw money at a bitch. Like in New York, this was a fact.

That wasn't our thing. The making a fact. That wasn't our thing. The making range shit? That was not our thing. That was super normal down here. No, no, no. I mean, out here, but you guys. You guys kind of perfected trains out here. I've seen you run a couple of trains.

Oh! That's pre-way here. Pre-way here. You ain't had one out here. We ran to the trains. Yeah, trains. We ran to the trains. Yeah, trains.

Shout out to the trains. He's in New York, y'all had to run a lot of trains. They had to, because bitches wasn't really fucking them like that. Like, they had to. Me and Paul do this all day. I be shooting at Queens Bridge all day. They had to. One bitch like, I'm just going to do all y'all

because just get it out the way. Hit me next month, I'm going to do all y'all. It was a lot of trains in the project. You and Lil Cease, y'all had beef at one point? And that was cool. And that was cool? No, I'm saying now it's cool. Yeah, early on, we kind of went through some stuff.

What happened? Ah, man. Yeah, it's old history, man. We went through some stuff. We cool, we all right. I see him. You know what I mean? I'm off that.

I'm on the biggest shit. You beat up trash too, right? What happened with that? You know trash? Yeah, I'm off that, you know, I'm on the biggest shit. And you beat up Trash too, right? What happened with that? I don't know. You beat up Trash? Yeah, yeah. This is a fact. That hurt me more than it hurt him. I need to know this story. Listen. That hurt me more than it hurt him, man.

I never ever, listen. Whoa. I never, I swear to God. Even me and you spoke about it. Yeah, we spoke about it. But we ain't get, because we was on the phone and it was, like I'm still like a 90s nigga. I think everybody tapping my phone and shit. Yeah. Like I'm retarded. You know what Iarded you know Sam, but we never actually addressed this ever Traj is already mad at me because we're meant to be said Traj. I love you sure I gotta ask this door trash first and foremost

Of tragedy, CNN, Mobb Deep, I fucked with all that, right? Definitely had the moment. And now, you come home from jail. I come home, so I'm like, oh shit. You're meat-trap. Yeah, oh shit. This nigga tragedy, like, and I'm a real nigga, so I tell a nigga, yo, listen, homie, your music helped me through the beat. I told the locks that, I told tragedy that. I don't know why I thought y'all was locked up together.

I don't know why. Nah, never met that. I never met him. So, go ahead. Until I came home. I told the locks that I told tragedy that I don't know why I thought y'all was locked up together No, I never met that never met him. So I came home. So he we we you know, we was kind of job as cool We would never hang out or nothing. What did you say? Yeah, we was half as I use that He came to me with some deal like, yo, it's a mixtape deal,

since this is the lane that you in, he has some distribution or whatever, and he came to me with some contract. The contract was like, all right, I signed, it was a $5,000 advance, right? So the nigga signed. It's going through him though, so I signed, and then I never hear from the nigga again. So I was just like damn I'm telling you it's like I don't want to destroy rap hero of mine.

You understand? So I'm like this is a rap hero of mine. Like I'm a listen I tell a nigga I ain't one of them old niggas to be like yo I'm not a fan like I don't go to the club and see a nigga that I know I love his music and act like I don't know who he is. I don't do that. I ain't with the ho shit. So I was like, damn, it was hurting me.

A lot of people, a lot of people said they worked with Chris Lighty. A lot of people said they got, like, after he passed away, I seen a lot of artists claiming him, right?

I worked with Chris, damn near 15 years straight, since 1998. Am I putting more years on it or less? No, that's right. Probably 18 years. I'm trying to not be as old as I am, all right? But Chris really fucked with you. Nah, definitely, man. Like, he really fucked with you.

I said, man, I'm talking about everybody until somebody say something, then I could get in the game. You know what I mean? That was my approach. So I seen him. He like, yeah, so you got some music. I said, yeah, man, Greenland got the hot ass mixtape. I about to ask you about Greenland. He was like, oh man, shut out the Green Greenland man. He played a big part of my Upring work around no more.

And the first deal with Def Jam as well with Jay-Z and all that. God damn, this makes a noise for Uncle Murda having mad chat. You know, in my head, I calculate these numbers. I know. I know these numbers. Like, I've been around.

You're counting the advances. And one thing about me, I don't know how to drive. So that's what... Listen, listen. The other day I'm watching an interview, that's what I was about to tell you out there. That's another thing that me and you relate to. I know how to drive. I don't think anybody respects... You just never want to drive. Got any respect on my name when relate to. I know how to drive. I don't think anybody would ever want to drive.

I got any respect on my name when I drive. No respect on your name. No respect on your name. I'm like a turtle. I ain't never seen you drive. Because I don't got no license, so I'm super careful. This nigga don't know how to drive though. But you don't know how to drive.

You might be worse than me. Yeah, one time this girl was trying to teach me how to actually was doing good. It was probably like four something in the morning, man. Never forget we had a diner by Queens Boulevard. She said, you ready to learn now? I'm probably like 17, 18. She was a little old head. I'm probably like, I'm like, all right, fuck it, let's try it.

So she actually asked me to get on the Van Wick. I'm driving, I'm like, damn, I'm on the highway? I'm like, oh. She tried to kill you. There's no cars on the road, though. What's her name? She tried to kill you. I'm like, damn this, Salute the Re. So I'm you. There's no cars on the road, though. What's her name? She tried to kill you. Damn this.

Salute the reed. I'm driving and there's no cars on the road. She telling me what to do. I'm like, oh, this is kind of smooth. Now she's like, yo, get off at this exit. She tell me how to get off. I go. Now my first interaction was I'm about to make a right, and there was actually some

cars coming. I'm like, hold up. Some cars on the road. She like, make a right. Hurry up. There's a car behind me beep and I'm like, damn, I'm trying to let the other cars go first. But I guess they not moving because they didn't have the light. I didn't understand the driver too much.

So when I go to make a right, I see another car moving. Then I try to get out the way and I went and ran into a tree and shortly almost broke. Oh, damn. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That went south. The way like I'm saying? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That whole thing. That went south. She was so against it with the way, like after the accident, she was like, boo, get out the

driver's seat because they'll lock you up. You got to get out. So she actually went to broke neck, damn near helping me. Oh, man. She getting in and did the whole thing, son. Listen, listen, listen. I thought Uncle Murda was a half a foul nigga. We just realized he's a full foul nigga.

Let's make the noise for him. Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, You should have shouted her out for real. Make some noise for her. But the van whips, she was trying to kill you. The van whips, she was trying to kill me is how I felt. But instead of pressing the brake when I almost hit the tree, I pressed the gas. That's what fucked everything up. And you ain't been in a car since. Not really. Okay, we're going to keep you right here. That's like when home we learned to drive an American meat.

So now, you've been on Mad Labels. This is a question to both of y'all. You've been on labels. What was your favorite CEO? This is a question we ask all our guests. You know what I mean? What's your favorite? I gotta say, Craig. Craig?

Calvin? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We never got a Craig Calvin. Because for me- No, we haven't heard that. We haven't got a Craig Calvin. That's because I felt like he- Craig was a DJ, so he had an ear for music.

So when he was excited about something, he would, oh, I'm coming to Mix the Record. He would come, yo, he mixed my record before. He come in the studio, Mix the Record. He's sitting in there like a fucking engineer, listening to shit. He had these little speakers that he would bring in. Yeah, it was crazy, like, to see that. So and from all the standpoint, you wanted to see your chairman or whoever he is. The executive is just excited.

That excited about your shit. So yeah, definitely. Craig Cameron. This is our first Craig Cameron. We got to do a list. We got to do a list. Le-O gets a lot on this show. We're going to do a graph.

I'd probably say, I don't know, I'd say two. I'd probably say Jay-Z and D from Rough Riders. Because I'm just saying the excitement for me I got from them playing the music, like the reaction, because I already knew I was trying to say the off the wall shit. Because you and Jay-Z did a Brooklyn record.

Even Jay-Z, when I used to play certain music for him, and there were certain things, like certain records we even did together, like music for him, and there were certain things, like certain records, we even did together, like me, him, True Life and Beenz, but we was going reckless, talking about people, going crazy. So it used to be times where I'd bring a bunch of records where I was going crazy, you know,

saying shit about certain people that Jay wasn't feeling. And the reaction that nigga used to just get from certain shit, the records was motivating like a motherfucker, you know what I'm saying? And the same thing with D, he just loved it all the disrespectful talking. D and Jay-Z. D was in the music for real. D, people don't even know, just off of his lingo and his quotes is where I used to pick up bars from, or niggas like the Kisses and the Stabbs and the Lags,

niggas pick up bars, it's all for the lingo that the niggas used to be talking and shit like that. You know what I'm saying? So, you said D and Jay-Z, we got a lot of D and Jay-Zs. No, we haven't gotten Jay-Z like that. Yeah, Miff Bleak said Jay-Z. Okay, well that was- We got one Jay-Z.

That was a given though. Jay, get your ass here, because listen, he listens to the show. He listens to the show. About to sign the one. That was a given though. Jay get your ass listen. He listens to the show He listens to the show about to sign the rock.

Yeah So we we cool man

And he put me on to a couple things and just you know You you you want some of that their wisdom because it helps encourage you to do other shit, you know? So definitely, man. Like I mentioned, it get you a check. Yeah, yeah, man. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Brooklyn niggas, man. Y'all niggas look out for each other.

Today I'm thrilled to welcome back to On Purpose, Cynthia Erivo. A Grammy, Emmy and Tony award winning actor and singer you know from the color purple, Harriet and Wicked. Oscar nominated, incredible actor, singer, author and producer. Cynthia Erivo. What's the difference between achieving and overachieving?

You've done something really amazing but how can I be more than amazing? How can I push more? How can I do more? You always felt like you didn't fit in. I had to come to terms with the fact that I don't think I'm ever going to fit in. And why would I want to? We don't want to let people down. We won't be able to be happy. We don't want to break someone's heart. But the reality is, that is how the way things go. I feel like a villain for doing it, for hurting someone.

And this may be a hard thing to say, but sometimes hurting someone actually aids the growth of another person.

I like to see you go to church I was I don't I mean set out different aspects. I like to see him on the budget. Oh, you go to church? No, I don't. I mean, I sat out to the church. Oh, he's not allowed to go to church? Me and Jadakiss, me and Kiss was together shooting the video. And then we came one day, and they was giving out turkeys. So they wanted us to come.

And it's like the community is in there, right? And they got celebrities and shit down. And they introducing them. And I come in, and I walk up to this nigga and shit, you know, down, and they like introducing them, and I come in, and I walk up to this nigga and say, yeah, let me see what he call you. Let me see them introduce this nigga. Right, right.

Let me see the pastor introduce this nigga right here. Right, and what happened? I can't wait to see them introduce Uncle Murda. I tell I tells the Me first he starts off the right way. Yes. We got We got uncle am Then I guess probably like about 15 20 minutes later the spirit must have hit him. He said, you know what?

He said we're not doing this no more. He said that. This guy, and him, he's going to be who he is. And this is Uncle Murda. He was drinking. Do you think that took away from your movement just being named Uncle Murda? I think it held me back a little bit. Yeah.

I think people be, you know, Aba, because sometimes you got so many different events and certain things that play out in hip hop, where you know, certain shootings and shit like that. So when you hear the name murder, it's easy for them to say, I don't want that right now. Or stay away from that. Do you think that happened with LA Reid?

Oh, definitely. God bless after Chris Lighty. want that right now or stay away from that. Do you think that happened with L.A. Reed? Was that- Oh definitely. After God bless, after Chris Lighty, L.A. Reed didn't want to sit down or really talk too much business with Uncle Murda or let's figure out what we're doing with the Murda Project next. So Chris was the middle man. He made that easy. Let me go serious real quick.

Real quick. In light of all the shit that's been going on go serious real quick. Yeah. Real quick. In light of all the shit that's been going on with all the shootings and shit, and I know in New York they got the laws is different, but what do y'all think? Niggas get shot every day. I know, I know, I know. The shootings ain't got nothing to do with the hood, but in light of all that, what do y'all think about what they trying to pass, the laws they trying to pass with gun laws?

Even though New York has always had strict gun laws. Yeah, they need to make New York like, kind of like the South. I think it should be riding around with them straps. Like Chris Rock said a bullet should be $5,000. No, but that's real talk. That is, but based on reality right now. I'm going deeper.

I'm going deeper because this is some shit that the homies we talk about, right? Like if you look in the communities, black communities, niggas got some shit. Niggas got shit. Hardware. Like yeah. Niggas got bombs. Niggas got bombs.

Yeah, they got the choppers. But you ever looked at some shit, like? You looked at some of them things and never say damn, why is this even made? Yeah, how did it even get here? No, no, no, no. Why is it made? For instance. A semi-automatic.

It's for war. For instance, this thing. Strictly. But what I'm saying is the AR-15, right? Let's take that. Why do they even make that? It ain't for hunting. Nope.

It ain't, like, you can't use that for hunting. Why do they make that and sell that? You can buy that. That's what I'm trying to flower that you can buy it in Walmart. This is what I'm trying to say. It's like so what sense does it make for some of the shit that they make F and H? Like some of this shit is like damn you want it but it's like but why do they even make it and then and it's like why do they even manufacture it? And then, and it's like, why do they even manufacture it? Because if these weird old niggas is able to get them, and then this is the shit that they doing,

like it's like, damn, it's not made for nothing. You can't go hunting with that. Right. No, it's real. And if you do go hunting with it, you overkill your meat. My nigga, you gonna destroy it. Because that trigger. You not gonna hunt with it, you gonna fuck up your meat.

That just going, yeah, you gonna destroy it. AK-47 bullets supposed to go through walls. Yeah, exactly, exactly man. Wow, we got deep. We got deep. Sometimes. We talked about churches and then automatic machine guns right after that. This is the Drink Chance Podcast.

Your hater won't buy a fucking physical album. But your hater will sit in this room, taking his shit and say,

oh, where are Uncle Murda and Mado's drop some shit? And will listen to your stream because they think that they're not supporting you, but in all actuality they are. How do you, because I think- I'm cool with that. I'm cool with that. I think streaming is gonna make, because you know, for years, I've been

science since 1997. My first album was 1997. So for all those years, it wasn't balanced for the artist to eat. What I mean is they'll give you a million dollars, but then they'll make it impossible for you to pay back that million dollars. You know what I'm saying? So now with the streaming, like Kanye's album is supposed to be streamed 200 million times and you will say to yourself, hmm, how is that possible? Well every time you go to the title, you stream Kanye's album regardless if you click it on

or not. How is that? That's the same thing with World Star. It's automatic. It's automatic. The thing with WorldStar. It's automatic. Automatic. The thing with WorldStar, their views ain't fake. When people say their views are fake, they don't know what they talking about.

So when you go to WorldStar and your video is, every time a person goes to WorldStar, your video automatically gets hit. So that's the- Your video. Yeah, the top box. So that's the reason why you have three million. So that's not fake.

It's three million people who got there. They might have not necessarily hit your video, but those three million views ain't fake. So people who tell you that World Star Views is fake, they're bugging. And Kanye figured out how to do that in a stream. With music, with audio. It's like right now.

Let's suppose I just painted this picture, right? And then two weeks later, I said, you know what? I was wilding. I should have put blood, or weeks later I said, you know what? I was wilding. I should have put blood, or I should have put, you know, such and such here. No, that's genius what he's doing with that. So every two weeks, Kanye is changing up a new song. And just re-uploading it.

And what happens is, every time you go back and you listen to this new song, it's counted as another stream. This is genius, my brothers. I don't know if he's keeping the fans from coming back. They keep coming back for it. This streaming shit is some crazy shit. Right now, Y'all album, which I wish I could have talked to y'all, you could have did it exclusively for title.

Now, what that does is, let's suppose you only got 100,000, right? That people who just came in and listened to y'all music. But you would have had three million because every time a person visits Tidal, they automatically click your link because you're in the top. This is what's going to even the playing field for artists to start being richer-er. Rich-er-er. Rich-er-er. Rich being richer-er.

Richer-er. Richer-er. Richer-er. Because. That's a new word. What people don't realize, and Jay need to holler at me, is I look at my statements every month for everything I get. If Apple pays me two dollars, Tidal pays me six.

So this is the reason why Jay is promoting it as artist owner. Because the thing about Apple is, and Spotify. We like Tidal. I like Tidal more now that I know what they're doing. But if you look at Apple and Spotify, they have a hundred million subscribers or whatever, right? So the reason why Apple or Spotify can pay you less is because they're making you pay

for their 100 million people that they got, basically. But Tidal is saying you can be an artist owner and as long as it's placed right, at the end of the day, if Jay and Beyonce, the fact that that's her husband means nothing. She's still the biggest woman artist in the world. So she wouldn't have let Tidal have that album for that 24 hours unless this shit is crazy. Like if Apple pays you $2, I can guarantee you Tidal pays you $6.75.

I look at my statements. My nigga, I told Men Bleak one day, I said, mutton nigga, y'all supposed to be blowing this up. Why isn't that the forefront? But what Jay want to do, I believe, is sit down with TI and say, oh look, you know what I mean? Because if we start all going to title or all going- Changes the playing field. It changes the playing field. The artist is now in the position.

I try to say it was the year of black entrepreneurs, but it's even deeper than that. It's the year where the artist can get rich again. It's that content, the content that y'all do, as long as you own the content, you make sure you can get the producers to sign off. You can drop a project on Tidal every couple of months and that shit is just automatic money. Streaming is the excellent. How do you feel about streaming? I like it.

Okay. I never had a problem with it. Right. And the reason, we actually was talking about doing it through Tidal. I ain't even tell murder about it. But the problem was we have samples Yeah, no, you can't do it all that's out the window and in the timeline that we wanted to catch It just we was gonna miss that because then definitely you see I gave it away for free Basically, no, but no you get by the iTunes. Okay, you can go get it. But you know

No, you can buy the iTunes. Okay, you can go get it. But you know Initially it was about just getting the energy out there. So we we it's the heat right we need the heat We needed the energy. So we went to live we went to that piff We went to my mix tapes and we and we got it out there But you can get it in all those places though, right? But because it wasn't exclusive concept like it it had to be, all those things gotta be clear. So I'm aware of it. Nah, that's the next wave because if you could drop a project.

And keep in mind, Sound Exchange, Publishing, all of that still counts. All that shit. Of course, of course. Like if you're smart, it's the year of the artist. It's a different game. But if you're dumb, you're gonna 360 it's the year of the artist. It's a different game. But if you're dumb, you're going to 360 it up.

And even if those numbers don't make you money in the actual streams, those numbers make you money in publicity and promoting yourself and getting shows. It's the new wave. It's the new wave. It's just like, you know, money and violence. I see you in Money and Violence. That's how you shout out to them. Yeah.

But just think about it. That, yeah. From right there. But this thing about it, like that can actually be the new wire, but we gotta support it. You know what I'm saying? We gotta support it. We're getting good support right now, man. Good support. We gotta support it. We got a big announcement coming with that July 5th.

Okay. Yeah, big announcement. Okay, and you a part of that? Yeah. Listen to me, my man, Murda, you're getting a lot of money, man. Look at the check. Look at the check, Murda. God damn it.

He translated it.

He translated it. I told JoJo. I said, can you come up with Baby? Because Baby, I think sometimes you're, sometimes you so street that you... He's articulated for him. It's like Meek Mill. Like every time I see Meek Mill, like do an interview, I can tell he's street because he always do something like this with his hat.

It's something... because you know why we're raised not to fuck with the cameras. We're raised like that. And then when you start being a rapper, it's no difference.

But on the DJ perspective, talking about the real shit, I'm going to tell you all right now, as a DJ, I've been doing this 20 plus years, my dogs will attest to this. When it comes to dealing with dudes that talk all that street crazy shit, you

think those are the dudes that would be the hardest to deal with. As a DJ, those were always the easiest motherfuckers to deal with. Unfortunately, the conscious artists and the artists that were on some other shit were more difficult to always work with. You know what I'm saying? I always appreciated that. I went to the West Coast and I remember MCA and all these fucking dudes, the Boo-Ya Tribe, easiest fuck to deal with.

Today I'm thrilled to welcome back to On Purpose, Cynthia Erivo. They grab me Emmy and Tony Award winning actor and singer you know from the color purple, Harriet and Wicked. Oscar nominated, incredible actor, singer, author,

and producer. Cynthia Erivo. What's the difference between achieving and overachieving? You've done something really amazing, but how can I be more than amazing? How can I push more? How can I do more? You always felt like you didn't fit in.

I had to come to terms with the fact that I? How can I do more? You always felt like you didn't fit in. I had to come to terms with the fact that I don't think I'm ever going to fit in. And why would I want to? We don't want to let people down. We want people to be happy. We don't want to break someone's heart. But the reality is, that is how the way things go. I feel like a villain for doing it, for hurting someone. And this may be a hard thing to say, but sometimes hurting someone actually aids the growth of another person.

When you're out of town and kill them, then your city starts to miss you. And then they come home and they start booking you in the Bronx. That's why we here. Then they start booking you in Brooklyn.
