Like, you know, we do shows sometimes, and sometimes, you know, um, We think a person as a legend, and the fans will come, and they'll be like, oh, he ain't a legend. This is not going to happen this episode. He's a 100% solid legend. Been in the game for years. Look the same. He found the fountain of youth somewhere.

He found the fountain of youth. He's still out here doing it. I'm talking about one of the only people that had super success on a certain label and went to, like, and before the labels, too, on his own story. On his own, doing his thing. A New Orleans legend. Before that was cool. Before it was cool, you was already New Orleans.

He's a staple. And not only that, he is the energy God. I seen him perform the other day. He was a black because I was trying to, when I figured out he was here, I was trying to say, should we do it after his performance? And by the grace of God, God sent me yesterday to perform with A-track. And A-track told me he's bringing his brother out. And I had to sit there in the crowd and just become a 100% fan again.

Like, he's one of the first people that we were playing in New York City, like, from the South. Like, his energy was just so crazy. And to see him perform yesterday and his energy still be the same, we got to salute this man. Right now, we got Mr. Cool in the motherfucking beauty. Mr. Lowe! Not only other New Orleans artists we had on here was currency. And he came late, too. He came late, too.

So that's gangster. Keeping new all the tradition going Right so um So laid back So when we started to get to him About him being signed to no limit Like he he didn't he don't got the stories you got Because he was a star on no limit

I remember at one point Like you know how they would say Def Jam and they would say Method man Like at one point when you named a star from No Limit It was hands down you Wow How did that how did that What year was you signed to No Limit first of

97? 97 wait first of all the intro bro. Come on, right. Listen, a legendary now, that's coming from a legend. That's right, that's what validated. That's what make it official right, that's right, that's right. You know, because it take one and no one to know I'm just. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. No, love. My brother, love. Right. Right. Yeah. Open a bottle

or you, you, you know, you ain't no champagne open up. Yeah, I want you to make a mask out here. Yeah, yeah. It felt like I was doing my job, bro. That's my job. And show up. At no one Because at one point, at one point, yo, I'm going to be honest. Y'all was like the strong. Like that, Like, that tank meant something.

Like, y'all was, like, I remember seeing y'all, like, 85 deep, like, before, like, 100. Like, I'm at 100. Yeah. For real. Like, so, like, like, how was that era? Like, man, I was, listen, bro, I was traveling with Master P was, it got to be similar to how if President Obama squad felt rolling with him. It's true. It's true.

It's like, through, helicopters and police chases and explosions and, you know, for real, bro. You notice it in that and spill, right? That's a real campaign. You know what I'm saying? Gangership. But before no limit, you was already doing stuff before no limit. How many years before that were you doing it?

Well, I started professionally in 94, 94. When you had the boot camp click that you had. Right, right. Did you guys ever talk with Duckdown and did that ever get resolved? I know there was a little, like, because they had a book camp clicks. I didn't know him. I wasn't too, you know, I wasn't too, but you were in the military and that's where you were coming from with that. And listen, when I joined the boot camp click, that name was already established.

Right. I have nothing to do with the fucking create. of the name and all that then. But since I was like one of the coldest, I got the charge. There's just a coincidence. Exactly. Now, when you're speaking about the military, because you was in the military, right? Army.

Army, okay. Now, Colin Kaepernick. Colin Kaepernick right now. Like, he's taking a stand. Like, what do you stand? Because you was in the military. So how do you feel about that? As far as what?

Like, as he knows when the Pledge of Allegiance is happening, he's taking one knee. And he's saying that he doesn't want to do that until, like, black, black, lives matter like black justice is right how do you feel like there as a person in the military you know i'm a veteran so i'm definitely gonna be patriotic let's make some noise for a veteran god damn so hold on you said you're a veteran good head when i'm gonna put my hand on my left you know i went out you know ready to ride out by this bullshit you know but does it bother you that he does that because in a sense you know supposedly the soldiers fight for his right to do that exactly so you know i see where you're coming from i see where you coming from now when you

came out the army was there like like what happens when you come out the Army. Like, You got honorable this charge, right? Yeah, when I left the Army, I was ready to be a rapper. You know, I felt like the Army was holding me back. Wow, you was rapping in the Army? Fucking right, one of the coldest, yeah, with their uniform on. I was ready to battle whoever, yeah, from wherever.

Oh, shit. Been a student and a fan of the game, brother, hip-hop game, seriously. So what year you got out the Army? That was 94. 94. So you come home and you already rapping. So you did, this. Independent stuff was

I was rapping pride to the army What happened was As soon as I left to go and listen to the army Because rap was more like a hobby at that time Especially coming from New Orleans Yeah, where y'all was at If you ain't from New York and up that way Yeah

So we fell in my head Get the fuck out of it! You know what I'm saying? So I had to do my thing You know, showing that shit We're capable of doing that too We'd get down too, goddamn Now when you met Master P Was he already big?

He was on his way You couldn't miss him You know if the city bus passed by I was going to be wrapped in the fucking some no limit shit You know, you get out of here Like how fuck did you do that, dude? Like, for real. Like, really, people?

A city bus. Yes. Get the fuck out of it. That's crazy. Every way you look was master P I'm like, you know what? Fuck it. Right, right. And how's your relationship now? Y'all still cool? Fucking right.

Okay, and then, and then... So we always heard that there was like no limit cash money drama. It was. It was. Competition. Competition. It's for different projects?

Was it? What project you're from? Because we just come, no, I'm from uptown. Uptown. I live right, around the corner from the project. So that's baby in them. It was fucked up just around the corner? Yeah, baby from uptown too. So you knew baby and them too? Fucking right.

Wow. Yeah, this is, you know, man. New Orleans, y'all have a lot of them. It had to be in a small scene there. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like y'all knew each other, whoever was doing stuff here. Exactly. Right.

And now, so, um, okay. So Batsopi was already on his way. Right. And then he steps to you. He said, what did he say? He said, man, I was watching your career. I'm watching you as an artist. I'm trying to build my brand as a company.

I see you building your brand as an artist. We need to put this shit together and, you know, let's do our thing. Because he hired me for the Bouti Bouti soundtrack. Right. He wanted me in the movie, but I didn't get a chance to, you know, get in the movie, but I didn't make that soundtrack. Once I got to the studio to record that soundtrack, I never left. Never left.

I ain't wall to leave. Now, was it true that, like, no limit had, like, one office with, like, one worker in there? It was, like, one or two workers in it? That shit was, like, incredible. I remember. I remember. That's all the $300 million. I remember Buster Rhym coming to the studio.

I was going to the studio. We're recovering like, this is it? You're like, you guys do all that shit here? No, that's crazy. Buster Rives is called there. That's shit here. Yeah, my brother, man. Yeah.

Yo, listen, you, y'all, like that, that, that, I, we have the death row era. We have the bad boy era. And now we kind of like still having the cash money era. But I can't, I can't, I can't compare what no limit did. I remember, I remember I was in Vegas, right? And Learcones said, I just seen the illest thing in the world. And I said, what's that? He said, I just seen 150 dudes just walk through the hotel.

And I said, I got 150 dudes when he walked through. He said, but all of them had on the Rolex. I said, no, we ain't on got Rolex. We ain't on got Rolex. Let's make some noise. Leo Coles told me that in Vegas somewhere. He seen y'all walking through 100. He understood that.

He understood. Everybody had a role like... He understood the power of having a real team and a squad with you. You know, but I was dolo my whole line. I'm, I'm out there by myself. Fuck it. Right, right.

But he was like, you know, at some point, you know, you're going to need that squad with you, bro. You know, it's... And it was a serious presence. Yeah, it was. And it made a difference. It makes a difference. Now, how do you get your energy?

Because I feel like I got energy, but I can't fuck with you or Buster or DMAX. And LOP? By the way, by the way, I want to do a record with me. mystical buster and DMX on my eye. That's too much, that's I'm going to use steroids for that week. Just for that week, take a ginger shot.

Just for that week. I'm going to take ginger shots at man, stirroids. The music, man. The music, the music. The music brings it out you. But because, like, you be on tracks for people and you still, like, was that, like, a method to, like, to stand out?

No, that's just where I was. Wow. That's where I was, man. You know, and the stand out and all that shit just was a, like, side effect of it. The man right, I'm sorry, it just came out of me. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Was that flow inspired by, like, something inspired you to have that flow? When I first started in the game, I was, I was prototyping myself behind LL Koojay. Oh, yeah. My first style was rhyme, singing, and portraying, and stuff I was on swinging, you know,

LL, man. It always starts that way, then you did, how did you develop it to your own? I just, he falls into that shit, yeah, they had LL, they had LL, they ain't need no fucking, too, LL. But your energy, it's still like that because yesterday,

so you walk out on stage, and he's calm as hell and then that move bitch get out of the way the musician came on it was like you transfer the music the music speaks to you like that every single time

that come I could be at home by my fucking self that's how I'm gonna be acting yeah in the bottom I gotta see this shit like sometimes when my show's not super packed as they should be I'm like I'm tripping y'all

I'm gonna get this fucking show and I'm gonna be sweating and must be when I lead this bitch because I do it at home by myself in the mirror with a brush yeah I don't need a real life yeah motherfucker So now, so now, let's get into the cash money,

because I believe you left cash money as well, correct? Amicably, yeah. Amicably, okay. So what happened with that? I think it wasn't about to use. How did you even get on cash money? Mutual respect, baby and I had respect. Even when I was on no limit, he used to be hitting me up, man, what's going to sit down?

Right, right, right. We're going to sit down. Right, right, right. It's just, you know, respect. And, you know, the funny thing when I came home for them to, you know, help me keep this shit moving. Wow. So when you came home, that was the first people? That was one of the first calls.

I was like, when I left, I was like, man, you got to keep holding that shit down and see him that spot when I come back. And that's what he did. Wow. Seriously. Like, for real, he did that shit. So I'm going to start naming a couple of names from New Orleans, and I want you to tell me what you think of them. Okay. Okay. Juvenile.

Like myself. Wow. He like my counterpart. Wow. Yeah, we like a real, like in concert, it's one-two punch, I don't know. From New Orleans, I don't know. Besides line, some shit like that. Okay, okay.

Mani Frash. Same thing. Same thing. He's like my DJ, KLC. He's like the one that did all those tracks. That's what did all those, bitch. Make him say, you know, all that hard driving shit. Make him saying, uh-huh.

Mani Fresh is exactly that. It's the same thing. Was he supposed to do an album together? He's the KLC. With KLC wasn't no limit. He was there to cash money. And was he supposed to do an album together at one point? Yeah, yeah, especially when I got over there,

it was too much, though. It was too much too early. But did you record some records? We did. We did. Oh, okay. But see, listen, coming home, man, I was in the fucking six-year time lapse. I was, culture shock.

Yeah, well, everything was fucked up. I told you, I was looking like that pimp from, I'm going to get you suck when I came on. I was not on it, yes. I was on in Walmart. Y'all got swag in here? You don't go like that mystical. Well, fuck. Yeah, I'm going to get it together.

And eventually, I looked around and seen what it was. Because I came on shooting live rounds. I just wasn't hitting the target. Okay, cool. I was talking to her what they was talking. He's preaching right now. He's preaching. I love this. I love this.

I'm just saying. Okay, another name. Soldier Slam. Rest of peace. Say, bro. Yeah, he missed. He missed. Right.

He missed. A game changer. Right, yeah. Game changer for real. Okay. I'm getting one more name. Here we go. C.

He was a funny knick. He was a funny knick. Yeah, he was really had a apartment in the hood. In real life. He was really fucked up. Yeah. See if my brother. Matter of fact, I'm trying to go see him. Right.

Him and one of my other partners up there. Oh, okay. Yeah, without making too much noise up there. Yeah, and then, okay, and like, just to describe, like, New Orleans, because y'all got the, yeah, y'all are, like, one of the only states that are above seawater, right? Yeah. Below seawater, okay. So, y'all mausoleums, where people die is actually above.

So it's like the most scariest thing in the world. Like, my first time in New Orleans, I've just seen dead. people everywhere because the mausoleums is above ground, correct? It's not like, you know how... Yeah, that bitch is up, yeah. Yeah, so, like, just describe New Orleans because... We're a mountain pot of

everything that was thought. We just, you know, put it in the posture up, and when it came out, you know, we put our own little whip on it, you know. Right, right. So... How about the difference? We inspired by, you know, all the dope shit and everything, because New York, California, you know, everything. Everything else is hot.

It's like you out of the middle, almost. We were in to breakdancing real, real, real, real, tough. And, you know, all the fans. Oh, is a breakdancing? Oh, you're fucking right. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Yeah, I ain't going to fail, man.

I think most rappers, man, come from all the things, all the trends, and all. That was hip-hop, man. You know what was crazy for me? Because I kept going to New Orleans, kept going to New Orleans as a black rapper. And then when I did Spanish music, I started getting book in New Orleans. I'm like, yo, ain't no Spanish people are in New Orleans. That it was the beat. It was the beat.

Nobody was Spanish motherfuckers out there. Oh, oh, no. Oh, that shit. Fuck on me down to that. That's that whole thing. I got to act like to missful off that. I got my very next track of the world for real. From that, that's what that spied me is.

Yeah, that was a fucking powerful hurricane that came through. No, it came through Florida first. We felt it too. Right, right.

So you were starting up to break levies, yeah. You think that was a conspiracy? You don't believe in that in the levees being? I look at the after effect. A lot of good came from it. There was a really pretty silver line and, you know what I'm saying? And that thing. A lot of people seeing opportunities that they never would have even thought about going.

Because they had to get the fuck. They had to leave. Oh. And they went to find those opportunities. Yeah, they wasn't going to watch. Yeah, I don't want to go. Fuck it, this is where I'm at, then. Shit like that happened, not your ass got to go.

effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it if it's going to be beneficial to you because it's easy to say like like go you go blank yourself right it's easy it's easy to just drink the extra beer it's easy to ignore to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like walk the other way avoidance is easier ignoring is easier denial is easier drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Now, if you could compare CEOs, because, you know, we love CEO talk. For real. You're one of the only people that was, like, a high level that actually dealt with no limit and then dealt with cash money. Like, where would you wait, baby versus master P? They have a lot of similarities,

but they're different in a lot of ways. You know, they both had that competitive edge, you know what I'm saying? And they have the personality out and the character to do, But they've done. Right. I don't know if I could have done it. What would you compare? Like, what would you say?

The pros and cons are being with P and the pros and cons? The pros were being with both on them. It was the hottest. Like when I came home, No Limit was the high. I mean, cash money was the hottest shit. I'm like, well, what better way to get to the top than from the fucking top? They're right up there. Yeah, just cut me on.

Right. And then, how about, and then P? P. P, I watched him grind that shit from Ground Zero. Right. From the mud, you know, to build an empire. That shit was amazing. And he was, I know that man had about $20, 30 million dollars in the bank and the bankers, his deal was nap, I respected that.

I was like, whoa, that was gangster shit. Okay, so right now, you know what I'm talking about, right now, there's a million dollar deal for mystical. And you have a choice. Go cash money or no limit. That's fine. That's easy. I just did cash money. Just do a limit turn.

No limit turn. No limit turn. Let's make some noise with no living right now. Master of beat, you need you on. It would definitely be no limit turn. Yeah, you know what? But I still would be very open. To talk to them, talk to cash money about what we're going to, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, never close-minded. What would have happened if they would have united? Too much, too much, like, right? It inspired too many motherfuckers. They still had that opportunity to do that. Right now. Because they both change the game. They both changed it.

Now, the writing on the wall for Master P. Right. No limit. Babe, yeah. They're saying what you did was important, Pete. We need your, bro. Come on. Because that's what I hear all day.

Come on, Mr. Bill, fuck now. We ain't going to talk about. We're going to act right. We're going to act right. You know, I got to put it out there right, though. Going out, don't clear a bit. Now, how was it doing that Mm-hmm?

Na-na-na-na-a video. Y'all looked like y'all had too much fun. Listen, not just the videos. We did fucking movies. But that video in particular. That was the basketball video, right? Wasn't that the second video? My fucker was like, Shaquille O'Neill came out to their videos.

And that was in New Orleans or y'all was in California? He did everything larger than life. You know, he definitely, you know, had to look at the big picture in a big way. Right. Now, one of my favorite female artist is Mia X. Because she wanted the hearts, bro. She's one of the dopest. How was it working with her?

I used to tell artists, listen. I know you're doing a feature, and it's just a feature, but you jump on that fucking song with that girl and don't handle your business, she's going to cook your grits for you, bitch. You're going to fix your breakfast, bitch, yeah, so handling your business. Yeah, but it seems like you, too.

It seems like every time you got on the track. You try to murder and everybody. Because I thought about it like that. Like you want to murder everybody. Still, I want to compete. So you're telling me your style wasn't developed from trying to stand out? I started out of a battle rapper. Oh, okay, now that makes

sense, okay. Because your style is so unique. Because I was a storyteller, and then we was in the hallway, a dude just went, ooh, we were belliger and all. You a bitch, and the crowd, and I was trying to stick to lyrics in my last story. I was on a skateboard, riding, you know, that. And he yelled at you.

And he yelled at too. Oh, yeah, hell and nuts, you know, so it was. Wow. I'm like, oh, okay, that's where it's at. Wow. Let's make some noise for that, for that. I ain't never lost again.

After that, I betcha that. Yeah, I was ready for that. Now, was you disappointed that you didn't get to put out a project on cash money? A little bit, well, fucking right, I was, let me see, we were the best, disillusions. You know, that's your like, fuck, yeah. I don't even know what that word mean, but it's a hard. I was beweil, I was confused. To describe a world like that, you got to use another fucking word.

Wayne and baby situation because they're gonna work it out and J. Prince is in it yeah because like did you have

discrepancies with P I don't let me what you mean like you had like fucking right From an audit, that's just, that's an all-day conflict. Yeah, cool.

That's an all-day conflict. We had the respect, you know, on top of all that, though, so the business always came out. Because they was managing you, too, right? They didn't, oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's definitely a conflict of interest. Yeah, it's a super-competuous. I remember. I'm with the company and the company managers and my manager, too.

Look out for me. I can't. Yeah. You second. All right. They did that to me, too. I mean, not no limit. But it still, you know what?

I was second and never go, but it still felt like I was first looking at the other rapper that was in the position I was. I was in. So I just appreciate it. We came with it. Fuck it.

Like when I seen you yesterday, I stood there. I was trying to be sneaky and shit, just watch you and shit because I'm trying to get things for the interview. And I'm like, damn, it's the same nigga I've seen back then.

You're the same thing I did when I saw him. You were going to remember? I forgot. Oh, yes, you did. Yes, you did. And I saluted the fuck out. And I salute you right now again. General, I see you, sir.

Yes, yes, yes. I'm a fan too, yeah. I'm going to have my moment. I'm starstruck, too. Hold on before we get to it up there. I'm sure. I'm sure. Let's make some noise

for I salute each other while we're alive. This is hip-prumble. You said you can't in New Orleans after you did your thing like that. You know what I'm talking? You know, listen. Put the flip on that bitch.

I can't lie. I couldn't believe it's mad lasinos in New Orleans. I didn't know it. Because, you know, I go to the awards and the projects. You don't see them there. It's a melon pot. Yeah.

We got downtown to French court. You know, that draws the world, man. French court draws the fucking world. Marty girl. Now, French Quarter, that is rid of Amardi Gras, yeah. Well, that's, that's like our little tourist area. Right. Yeah, French Quarter.

So what's the last one of the garage you went to? No, it's right around the point. I try to go to them if, you know, most of the times I'm working, doing some kind of capacity around it, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Right. So now, like when I first came home, the first morning, I was at the parade, rapping at the concert, you know, I'm talking about under the bridge, yeah, it's like real home.

Now, let's bring it down for our stupid fans. We got a lot of stupid fans. No, we don't. They hate when I say that. They hate when I say that. But let's just be funny. I hate what you say that. If I'm stupid, they're stupid, too, because they listen to me.

He's saying, unexperienced. If I'm stupid, they're stupid because they're listening to me. All right. You're not stupid, brother. So, um, the beads. Let's break down the beads thing. Like, what age was you when you realized you could throw beads to a person and fight that us?

Early. And getting the blooms, they're throwing the blooms. That's like a little coin. It's bigger than a quarter kind of shit, little light, aluminum, made shit. You pick it, you can have a fucking pop-out. And Popeye's chicken. You went some food with this bitch. You know, I'm a little fucking kid.

So shit like that, man. It's like the original Pokemon. Yeah, I can really win some fucking food from this Deblood. You know, catching bees and shit. It was like festive and that shit. Man, something to us, man. You know, we were just kids. And still to this day, you could throw bees to a white girl.

And she's going to show the tisies. Black girls don't do that, though, right? I'm sure they do. They do. They do. It's fucking right. Come on, you got a memory. Come on, man.

Listen, bro. When you're in the spirit. It's white girls. Let's keep it real. Yeah, that's what started. That's probably the bravest at first, you know, come on out with their motherfuckers. Because there's white people.

It's a majority of white people that come. They want to show their tits. Right. Fucking right. Yeah, because whip out Wednesdays. That's what they call it? No, no. Whip out Wednesday, that's some white shit.

You gotta love the white bitches that show their tits. It's got to have to make them more. Black women got too much pride for that. But it's like 10%. They don't get involved. They don't get into spirit and say, fuck it. They get loose. They get loose.

Let's pick up the fat Tuesdays. They get loose. Big of them white newbie and queens as well. You know what I'm saying? Bigged them up. These are there as an excuse. Spanish women ain't doing that. Let's stay on South Beach.

And then it's different. And then we could allow them to do that as well. Yes. But now I'm mystical, right? Oh, I'm coming back. Yeah. I've got some beautiful women out there, bro. In Miami.

Yes. I love my city. Yes. Look at E. Yeah, one day they came walking up so fine, I said, man, you look like a superhero. Twain, you ain't give me a dirty, right? This ain't a dirty, right?
