That's a beautiful thing. A lot of people don't know. Yeah. And when I left the roots as a keyboard player's writer to become a producer, my first week, soliciting myself to be a producer, I got two clients. My very first two clients was, you and Capone and Buster Riles. Let's make some noise for that, God damn.

Thank you. No, for you, the opportunity, man. No, but Scott, let me just tell you something. I'll be looking at the internet, and I see it on the internet. When you be constructing these beats

on these keyboards, and you be sitting there, and it's like, I just want to keep praising you. No, thank you, man. If that's a good word. Is that a good word praising you? I want to keep praising you because you deserve being praised.

You don't spill champagne. I'm from Section 2. Yo, come on, you hate-hant-ass motherfucker. Is that your birthday? Happy birthday, sonny. Yeah, happy birthday, sonny. Happy birthday, sonny. Happy birthday, Reverend Run.

Yo, so let's take it back to the beginning, Scott. Yeah. Were you originated from Philadelphia? I was born in New York, Long Island. But I moved to Florida as an infant, and then when I was 15, I moved, and I followed my dad to Philly. And I was supposed to be going to school, but I wasn't. I was cutting school and taking the train into the city and met up with Quest Love and Black Thought and all these guys. Describe that situation because you started out with the rules.

Yeah, what year is that? too like what is this was 1991 and um yeah man i just i was you know i was in jail big up to the niggas and um d fy i was interning at this label roughhouse at the same yeah they had cyprus uh chris cross the fugues yeah and um it was like getting a chance to see that's great the actual music industry you know just being nobody and um i got caught one day jamming on the piano in a live room of their studio and I thought I was going to get fired and then I got called down the hall to play keyboards on

the, uh, Killing Me Softly remix. Killing me softly Norman Hill, let's just throw that out. Yeah, can't change. And, um, you know, it's just gradually, you know, I got a record deal with the roots from playing on the streets with them.

We used to set up borrow power from stores on South Street and jam. And, um, we was doing these like little jam sessions with leaders of the new school and all kinds of crazy crazy. Was the roots like a street band at that time? Wow. It was actually before there was the roots and it was square roots.

Oh wow. Yeah, we had to change the name because it was some other band that had the same name. And that was new to the whole band thing was new for the But y'all was playing on the streets for real? Yeah, we're playing on the streets. We actually got discovered at a block party on Cecil B. Moore Avenue in near Temple University. That is Philadelphia. Yeah, Illa.

That's where the niggas get killed at right there. Yeah, I was there. To kill you right there. Shut up to our. It's all good. It teaches you to be strong. And I think some of that strength and perseverance I learned in Philly helped me, you know, have success, you know.

So now you started out from the roots. Somewhere it doesn't go right. No, it was right. Everything was right. As a matter of fact, when I left the roots. But you wind it up in L.A. Yeah. When I left the roots, I actually just, you know,

I wanted to be more than a keyboard player. and I wanted to be a producer. So I was, you know, grinding and this and that. And I went to New York. I met you. Fantastic. It makes a voice for me and me. And it was actually the day the Capone came home.

That's the fact. That's a fact. That's a fact. That's a fact. That's a fact. And I remember, you know, that was a good time. And, you know, flashing forward, I went to L.A. And I ran into one of my homies from 50.

this girl, Eve. Oh, wow. And she was like, yo, I just got signed to Dr. Dre. And, like, that's how you got? That's how I got.

Yeah, I'm foreverly grateful and in debt to Eve. Eve, big you up, Eve, because you put me in Dr. You changed my life. She didn't have to do that, but she stuck her neck out.

And, yo, for real, the next day I was in the lab, I didn't have no, we used dat tapes at that time. We didn't have nothing. But describe that situation, though. Like, so now Eve tells you come to L.A.?

No, I was in L. He was already in L.A. Yeah, I was doing a jam session at the martini lounge. Okay, you got a jam session, because we got dumb listeners. So Eve was there. What's a jam set? All right, so the roots, I was still hanging with them.

They were still the homies, and they would do like these, kind of like the, you know, Russell Simmons's poetry jam meets, like music, a lot of Erica Badoot type shit going on. Open mic type of shit, open mic type shit? Yeah, open mic. It was like a women in music series

called the Black Lily and it was dope but it was a root-based event but it was happening I came over here you said yeah we was doing them in New York at the wetlands every Sunday

and we just decided you know to do one out here so luckily I ran into Eve and the next day I didn't have nothing to play drag I just sat at the piano and boom they was like

can you stay out here I was like hell yeah that same day I had a hotel how was that meaning you said it's so nausea you said Drain just Yeah, I met Dre.

And I was like, you're in the studio with Dre. I'm in the studio with Dre. Now I'm in the studio with Dre. And I got nothing to play him. So I just get on the piano. I start jamming for him. And he's, you know, about an hour later, I had like 10 racks, hotel room free. And my rent was paid.

I was good to go. And now your glasses is 10 racks. Those guys look mad. What kind of glasses at all? There's portions. Those are portions. Let's make some noise from the Porsche glasses. God damn it.

Goddance. You see the glasses? His glasses are very expensive. So, all right, so you're in the studio with E. Dre tells you to play the piano or the beat? Just to play piano, because I had no beats with me. I didn't know I was going to be seeing Dr. Dre. So, yeah.

And then the very next day, he had me work on this artist named Slim Shady. And we did the song, Just the Two of Us. How quick was it? Very next day you make Holy shit And then the day after that We did Big Eagles That's on the Chronic 2000

And so on and so on And then life progressed to I just got to a place where I didn't want to feel like I'd have to ask You know, Dre created his empire I wanted to create mine So I went to a different city

I went to Miami And I You know I like Got into my own client and it wasn't really the tape. Same type of stuff I was working with Dre. And then I got introduced to clubs and cocaine

and all kinds of great things. That's what you're going to say the cocaine. I'm ready for cocaine. We're going to save it for later. You're ready for the cocaine? I'm ready for cocaine. But, because Scott is my brother. I'm going to just throw this out there.

I don't know if people know. I know Scott just said it earlier, but Scott is really my brother, and I really seen every way, shake, form, fashion he ever came, and he's always been my brother, and I'm always going to remain his brother. Thank you. And that's just who I am.

Steve LaBelle, God damn it. You're from Queens, too. Yes, sir. Where are you from Queens? I'm from Jamaica, Queens. Damn, look, look, he's from Jamaica. Queens. Thanks.

This is the first white person you met from Jamaica, Queens? But that is blacking. Hold on. I'm going to be honest. He blacked and then, boy. You can put us both together. He's still blacker than both bars. So how is the scribe your comings up in Jamaica?

When my coming up was, uh, dude, the late great Jammaster Jay, rest of him. He put you on, don't say that. He put you on. Don't wait, wait. So how did this happen? I grew up with, you know, Jay and run DMC. And Russell was my mentor.

Um, basically, you know, I was just carrying bags. I was doing shots. I was doing whatever. I mean, come on. Come on. Come on, Scott. But at the end of the day, you know, it was like around 80. 384, 85.

Next thing you know, I'm on the... Disespected my shot. Look, I had a shot, too. I'm on the tougher than leather tour in 88. Tough. And the leather tall. Yeah. Just, you know, EPMD, public energy.

One of what those tours are like. Jazzy Jeff, first prince, and I was around the rush management days and Def Jam days and profile, profile records days. You know, my homie, Bill Adler over there. Of course, of course. Legend, legend, my family.

You know, I didn't know what I could do. So I was just... No, no, no, wait. Ah, wait. Ah, look, Adah, Adah. Yeah, I was just around and just doing whatever I need to do. I'm an opportunist, you know, I'm from Queens, so, you know. But then I was like, you know, I traveled and I was doing all the stuff and around these labels,

but I said, you know, I said, I opened up a couple of bars in there St. John's University. And I brought all the rappers there, Chris Mullin, Mark Jackson, Onyx, Jay, running the MC. And who was there for people that don't know? St. St. Jones, Union Terms, yeah. The St. John's, you know, Redmond, St. Yeah, of course. And then I got to car accident, so I sold everything, and then I got a job. OJ and Onix wanted to

start a, they wanted to find a white rapper, like a Mocky Mock, so we took it to Relativity Sony. Wait, Mocky Mocky Mock, you told my Mock Warbar. Yeah, but, Fredro was Mock Warburg when you say Mocked Mocked Mock. What's Mockie Mock is, I'm single? Nah, but, I don't know.

Good vibrations. Good vibrations. Fredron Sticky wanted to find someone like that, so they used my ball to find, you know, fraternity brothers. So then we took the record to Sony, relativity, and the next thing, I got a job of relativity, and I was like, I never had a job for somebody else.

And it was like 92, 93, beat nuts, MOP, Fat Joe, 8-Bone MJG, 3-6 Mafia, Frankie Cutlis was there, and EZE, rest in peace, had ruthless records there. So I worked with all of them, and I was going to row with Fat Joe, and Big Paw was just hype man. But hold on, I've got to stop you real fast. you said you was there when Ice Cube and NWA had a fight Nah easy E and Ice Cube

Had a beef if you watch straight out of Compton That's what I was trying to say in my mind At the tunnel Legendary Tunnel Oh this is a big cap Yeah We went Easy came in town with bone thugs

That's not in the movie Yeah It's in the movie If you watch straight out of Compton Easy and Ice Cube running to each other But I thought that was in the road I didn't know that was in New York City

That was in New York But it was day They didn't show it though They didn't show them beefing in the film at that point. You know, that's when they ran to each other had a problem. But, you know, I was with Easy, so whatever was going to happen was going to happen. But, and then Easy said he wanted to go back to the hotel, and he had a flat along. He walked back to the hotel.

And I said, getting the limo was freezing. He said, now I'm a walk. Because, you know, and the next thing, I'd never seen him again. He got caught AIDS, they said, and he died. But, and then from there, you know, he introduced me to Bone Dugs. I've been with Bone Dugs and Hark for, like, I don't know, I don't smoke, 23 years. Oh, that's great.

So, you know, so he did the bone and bigger. If someone told me today, 20 years ago, today we did Notorious Thugs. Yes, wow. So, you know, I throw throwbacks of that up.

Yo, Scott, you're still looking rich as hell. Tell us about this Miami Frostbite. What do I say? Well, let's just say this. Okay.

I wouldn't have been able to rebuild my riches and my success in my career and everything if I hadn't admitted that I actually fell. If you're just in denial, most people are just in denial and they'll just sit in the corner and they're too scared to come out and rebuild themselves because they don't want to have

to admit they did fall. But that's not. We do at this show. At this show, we have fun. At this show, we have fun. Now, Scott, Scott starts to eat ass. It's a fact, right? Listen, yeah, no.

A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort. to message that Musk is coming back.

He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure.

And there's so many stories of these people that work with Dr. Dre. Dre don't pay them or whatever. Oh, come on. Let me just finish.

I know a lot of people that have a lot of money and a lot of success just from knowing him.

All right. Dr. Dre gave me everything I ever deserved from everything I've ever done with him down to the percentage. Like I think for real, for real, Dr. Dre provides opportunity for people. But, you know, it's like if people don't succeed and you can't expect that man to just keep people in his doors. in the studio if they ain't doing shit and everything has its reason and every business has its things where other business takes precedence

over that person so they may be salty if they had to wait in line but they weren't that high on the totem pole and you know my whole relationship with Dre is amazing right now we actually got in the studio a little bit we're about to go in and do a bunch of stuff

And for the new generation out there, like, you got to put your work in. Hell, yeah. Shit does not happen overnight.

Come on, come on. It's the first of the month. Yeah, so look. You saw, you're able to listen, listen, listen, listen. Listen, 1993. This is it. Ruth's Records was distributed by Relativity. I worked at Relativity.

Easy. We did his album. We did MC Wren. We did App Band Clan, which was Will I Hamm. If you remember Abang Clan. Bloods of Abraham, there was a white rap group, which was Jerry Heller's nephew, Terry Heller's. Oh, shit. There was so many artists signed to Ruthus. You know, Easy was a, you know, real businessman. So I was A&R in there at the time. So when Bone Thugs came in New York, Easy had died. So they didn't really know anybody but me. So I was the A&R. I did their solo projects.

I did the Mo Thugger Label that we had so many hits. And then I just started managing them. So I was around the first of the month to thuggish, ruggish, for love of money, is all that. Keep it right there. It's the first of the month. Wow, this guy. You heard that record, then.

What did you say? Shit. Wow. You knew. You knew. Yeah, but you know, Bone are very innovative and creative, man. They're singing rap, man. And, you know, Wiss Salutes him.

Asoot, Rocky Salutum. Kendrick Seleuio Rice but I feel like bone thugs don't get their dues They've sold 50 million records Which is hard for a rapper 50 million And they collabed Wait, say it one time

50 million And they collabed with And you see the merch right You see the merch right Say it one more time 50 million What? God damn it They're always touring

And at the end of the day Their only rap group No MP3 No MP3 that did songs With easy Pock Biggie Jam Master The J. Mets mentored them after Easy died.

Did a record with pun. Did the records of, you know, Mariah. So many people. Tupac, Doug Love. But, you know, I'm still with them. It shows you the integrity of myself because all I know is loyalty in integrity. So 23 years later. And all of them is my niggas, too.

Yeah, yeah, they're crazy, but they're all of town. No, no, no, they're individuals. They brought them really. So now, Scott. Definitely, definitely. They're still great. Melodic shit. A.K. nigger.

I need an. I need the beginning of the beginning. I wish we had a keyboard here. Listen, we plan to have a keyboard here. We had a keyboard here. But you know what? I figured that's what every other interview is going to try to do.

Yeah, you're right. You're right. And I said, you know what? This is my brother. Queens guys wouldn't do it. They don't follow. They leave. Because you know why?

He ain't going to fuck with them like he ain't fuck with me. So I said, at first I was like, you know, find the keyboard and all that. I said, you know what? I looked at him on the internet. I seen how he killed it. See how he killed every I said, you know what, I just want to speak to my brother. But now, for our listeners, how did it? It's still Dre Day, nigger. How did it happen? I'm going to tell you right now, I remember that's clear as a bell. Dre, I'm getting it. We'd program some drums every day. Like we would sit in there and he would come up with a drum pattern. In that particular day, it was...

Snap, boom, snap, boom, snap, boom, snap, and then he went and ate a sandwich. Sandwich? In the kitchen at Encore Studios. What does he eat? I don't know. He was having a sandwich. Was it turkey and cheese?

It could have been, quite likely. Definitely wasn't having a sandwich. Don't tell me his hand. And the kitchen is obviously within earshot of the control room of the studio. Go ahead. And he just left the pattern just playing. And I got on that joint And I said

Hang ding ding ding ding ding ding And he walked in with the sandwich In his hand and he said That's it right there Because we was down to the wire We had been making record after record We made him 100 records And we were looking for that single

And he said that's it right there That's it And by the end of the day And you did that on the piano I did that on the piano Five minutes later We put everything around that shit It was just a bass and a little string

We didn't do nothing to it It was just three elements comments. We sent it off to Jay-Z. No, but the rumor was that you, that was your idea to send it to Jay-Z. No. That was not the- I mean, obviously it would have been a great idea.

But it was quite certain that came from Dr. Drake. He's a visionary, man. I learned so much from that dude. I'm not trying to be a dick rider or nothing, but for real. That was how I learned how to do what the fuck I did. He was watching him bring the best out of artists. He said that to you after the beat is made, he said,

I'm a send it to slime. Yeah, yeah. We have high standards. We respect you, baby. As a beatmaker, we like to have high standards and be like, nah, no, we're going to scrap these joints and shit and look for that magic shit. But Dray takes that to a whole other level. I mean, straight fire, where we're all in the room, like, this shit is crazy.

He's like, that's all right. Let's keep going. Now, that's that level. Levels to the shit. And. What's up, City, boy, Dee. How are you doing, man? What's going on, man?

you text me back now lean back man I'm going there so do you do you think because now you came from the roots now the roots is a musical bag

that's like if you listen to like trial called crest's album just came out love it you could hear it loud you could hear it in the speakers but then you can hear it on a little

have false. And that's when I know your album is though. Of course. Rest of peace, Fife. Rest of peace, right. Absolutely. So, but so is the roots. The roots is like a musical band. Funny you should say that. Because the roots

we got our tone center from an instrument called the Fender Roads, which is an electric piano. But say it again for our Fender Roads. It's an electric piano used in most soulful music in the 70s. You ain't even got a etc. Now, Tribe Called Quest

a lot of their samples were samples from old records like Hervey Hancock, Bob James, all these different people that played the Fender Roads keyboard. So when everybody was sampling it, I started playing a lot. The old tribe or the new tribe.

Everybody's on the Rhodes' dick for the past 20 years, but nobody was fucking with it. When I got on it, and I was like, yo, this keyboard is, that's what they're sampling. So I said, At the time nobody wanted this keyboard, it was $200.

I got it from the old church. Yeah. It was giving them away. In Philly? In Philly. So I had this, really, it's the size of a coffin. You imagine touring on the street with this big-ass keyboard. It was like moving a fucking real piano.

So whatever, you know, that was what I was able to do. And that's what I do now. I'm able to take whatever the vibe is, and I do everything live. So I've, you know, hip-hop is going to. through periods where people are sampling and playing live shit. I was able to persevere through all of that shit because I play it live. And if

samples are in, I play it live in such a way where I make it sound like samples. I had dirt to it. I had records crackling underneath everything. Filter that shit and just manipulate it. Now let's get into that lean back, baby. Lean back. What the fuck happened there?

Raul, our mutual friend, brought Fat Joe out to my crib in western Florida. Okay, let's describe the people where West and Florida is. In the middle of fucking nowhere. Because I still don't know where West and Farrier. I was trying to, I was, I thought she was going to take some time. It's west of Fort Lauderdale, about 30 minutes.

It used to be the swamps. But now it's nice. It's a lot of mosquitoes out there. It's a lot of mosquitoes and $3 million cribs. And then what happened? So you out there. So Joe comes out and he describes sort of what he was feeling. Yeah, because he told me he beatboxed this shit to you.

He kind of, like, he just, no, he don't think he didn't know. But that's okay. But there's a whole other story about a girl named beatbox. A girl beatbox? That has to do with a terror squad trizzy. But that's a whole other thing. That's a whole other story from your beatbox. I definitely don't want to get into that.

Like, let's go there or what, around a corner from that. No, but for real. So he described what he wanted. And 15 minutes later, he had lean back. Yeah, leave back. And then he said, Scott, I need an intro. I need some real harsh shit. So I said, and it just happened and boom, they thought I was a musical genius. I just got

lucky. That day it was like the creative genius. But you did say that again again. You did say that again in your life. Scott Storch is a musical team. Been lucky a lot of times. Makes a lot of times. I just remember for real. In 2005, that one, that was The MTV Music Awards. One of the Scott Storch moments that was just, this shit.

In 2005, the MTV Music Awards was in Miami. And I had the very first McLaren SLR, the joins with the wings that go up. And so ignorantly, I left that shit on the red carpet, like, and I walked away with the doors open. I had Paris Hilton on my arm, and I went and I performed, lean back. and I remember

I looked out into the audience and I seen Bruce Willis leaning back and that was one of the coolest shit I ever seen in my life Let's make some noise and I know fat joke Say Bruce Willis

He's and say lean back But Paris that's the first person That's the cocaine Is that true? Stop He digresses right Los Angeles did that Come on man

I introduced myself to that shit I'm like Man people always point the finger to anybody else I put that shit in my nose. Ain't no fucking girl pretending of my nose. Let's point the girl out, though. Listen, I'm going to be honest.

Me and I had that gang of fun, though. I'm from the hood. I'm from the hood. Every person that ever went there is a girl. You know what? The combination of cocaine and pussy is a motherfucker. It's a motherfucker.

Tell us the first one, Scott. No. Come on, Scott. Just one. You think I remember that shit? No, I heard it was Lindsay. Was it Lindsay? Stop. Paris.

You're obsessed with Lindsay, brother. No, the sky's my man. He don't give a fuck. He don't give a fuck. Not to sound corny or square or nothing, but for real, I'm having more fun right now, and I smoke so much weed, and I make so much music,

and I hang out with my girl every night, and we bug out. Big of your girl. No, she's the shit. She got me off for that fucking bullshit. That shit. But let's talk about when you was on this shit. Huh?

Let's talk about what you was on the shit. That's more fun, right? It's a little bit more fun. So, but Lindsay gave you coke before? I heard that. What? I've read it in a magazine. Everybody's doing shit.

Man, and, um... Listen, why do you bring up all these girls? Because they're famous. No, but I'm saying they're like no fun. I know you've been with Jamaica, but I ain't can bring that up because she's... Just remember Jamaica's way more fun. Trust me. But not to our listeners.

Any day. Not to our listener because you're Scott Stoic. You're the fucking shit. You got on $9,000. Let me ask you a question Would you want all these A-list girls On your yacht or would you want ten Bad South American Mommies

No, we, no. You got a cocaine story too. That's why you stop getting high. No, never my life. That's why you start getting high. Let's keep it real. Only God could judge, but... Can I say something about Steve LaBelle? Uh-huh. I'm living great right now because I got this motherfucker

manager me. Yeah. And I'm just talking about financially, and that's great. But I'm just saying, like, I'm living a good life. Steve's great. I look forward to every day. I get a text like, yo, this motherfucker's going to show up. And he pulls shit out the woodwork for me.

He's from Queens. But we kill it every time. Yeah, no, I hate from Quinn. He got me doing some shit. I'm like, sure, man? He's doing shit that he wouldn't do because the game has changed so much. Right. And it's different from back when he was doing a lot of stuff.

So now we're living in a Spotify world, digital world. So many new artists getting signed and it's hard to keep up. But you've got to go with your gut and your ear. And, you know, we lead us. We're not followers. So we can go on with a lot of people. But sometimes it's good to break some new artists that are about to break. That kid P&B rocks.

We're going in with A.B. That's my nigga. I like that, nigga. And then Thursday, Scott's going to A. Boogie with the hoodie from New York. Pick up A. That's the fan. Throwing some stuff to Davies.

We throw him on the new office. He won't do it. Yeah, so we throwing stuff to M, new album. Nah, it's everybody. Yeah, it's an M. When are we getting in the studio? And I try to get at Jay Z because he's working on. So, Jay, Scott, want to work with you, Jay Z.

Yeah, Jay Z's got to get it. Let's make some history. Em, we're going to do a complete of music. You know, he said you do something to M? No, you know, we're throwing things out. Oh, you can't just say that. You're very on point over here. We're very on point over here.

We're throwing things out there. Is Eminem? Are we officially saying that on drink shaps? I'm just saying we throwing things out there. back in the studio. I don't know. Let's make some noise for us spreading the room up.

Every of them in the back room. When we're stressed stuff, it's real. We don't do so. And somehow Lindsay Lohan's going to be there. No. And Scott is making the beat. Let's make some noise for all that. Yo, listen.

Mariah, we're about to work. We're working with everybody. Yo, both of you guys, both of you guys are my family. I'm going to just be honest. And I'm so happy that you guys came to let me bug out with you guys. But you got. information about him and then being back in the studio? Everybody's back in the studio.

Jay Z's back in the studio. Everybody's back in the studio. And people want substance and people want real music, so you know, did you hear the tribe? Because of the tribe, of course, of course. Did they hit number one? Because I know the numbers is great. I'm not sure, but I hopefully did. De La Sol hit number one.

You know, people are like it's coming back to the real music. You think it is? You think it is, Scott? Yeah, and you know what? I'm on their heels. All these young producers, He's working with Metro Boom He's working with murder beats We collaborate with a lot of people

Can you give us something on that card of fire You're gonna see some shit It's crazy Yeah I like this picture I just looked at the picture I liked it I love working with people that are hungry too Nah you know you know my thing about you Scott

Is I always tell people I say If the producers send you to beat I don't think you're work with him. And you always been the guy that come over here,

come vibe with me. That's the only way it gets done, man. You got to vibe out. You got to make... But that's art at the end of the day. It's really art. But can you agree with me? That's the reason why music died. Yeah. It's because everybody got rich and everybody said, I'll see you the little shit, and you

seen this shit, and nobody got back together. Like, think about it. And at a certain time and day, and I don't want to put it, But when we all got to the studio together, there was no rack. There was no rack. There was no rack. Yeah, no whack.

But you were in the studio. It wasn't like, oh, send it to my email. And you don't even know who you're collaborating with just because someone's high at the moment. That's what's fucking up the music industry. So on the business side, the game is twisted. And I feel like 90s is back. And people want substance and real music. You know, bone thugs work on a new album.

But at the end of the day, you know, at the end of the day, like, there's a lot of great talented artists out here. And the internet is a gift and a curse. But we got to use it for our advantage. And always say to the younger generation out there, learn the business side. Like, do you know about publishing? Do you know ASCAP, BMI? Do you know about ancillary? Do you know about anything about touring?

But the newer generation, they want to do it to be cool. Do it to, like, make history, you know? Because money come and go, history stays. So I don't know. We're just working with everybody. And Scott trusts me to bring the new generation in to work with them. And if Scott breaks the new generation, Scott Storcher is still Scott Storch, which he never left. You see I looked at that man

I don't know if you I'm gonna lost your eye with that Yeah but that's all you could do is I know what Norie I feel like Loyalty and the integrity And you can call me And principles of morals Is thrown out the game right now

And it's fucked up Yeah I don't know how to do Slime you ain't going to long Slan come over there You ain't got nothing to do with D shit Come over here This is a side podcast by the way Yeah

The forces shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot. Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them. And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war 2.0 is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away

from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in, to connect the dots. How unusual is a deal like this? Unprecedented.

We went to do Mixo Power Summit, rest in peace, to Justo and Bahamas. There's a picture of me and Cam and Pung. I threw up the other day, and Joe took a boat there, and we flew there. But anyway, so Pung used to be Joe's hype, man. We were driving around the country. Joe thought he was K-R-S-1 back in. Yeah. We would drive to Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, when retail stores existed, like Georgia's music room and all that stuff, and radio.

And Mitch-Shull. George's was in Chicago. Yeah, but we just go to Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland. The way you talk to that. I just want to make sure you know. There was so many facts. There's so many independent retail stores back then. You go and put a POP and bring shirts and do in stores.

Give cassette samplers. You might as well. I hear it. And do radio. We had vinyl to go into stations. And Joe, and Paul was Joe's hypeman. And I used to have the old Motorola flip, right? Yeah.

I just, I don't know. God is great, man. Man, thank you so much, Steve. Well, but before we get up out of here I forgot I was about that asked, but I just come home. You ain't tell the Jamraster J story. Relax.

Cut him off like you always do. I throw a bogey at him now. Cup Mastonori right here, man. He's a Jam Master J story. We need a Jam Master J story. We need a Jammaster. That's my nephew. That's my nephew. Okay. That's my nephew.

Queens? Yeah, Queens. Let's rack. Jam S.J was the realest. Yeah. You know, and the clue to run DMC, the swag, one of the best DJs ever. And it comes from when you used to bring crates and stuff. And a lot of people look up to them.

But like I said, man, me and Jay did so much. Another story used to go to, you know, the Giants games and just watch Pepper Johnson in front of us, ours, and watch a Giants game. Go to the Knicks game. Watch Mark Jackson play. Just like, just cool stuff, man. Jay was just the coolest, man. I wish that everybody got to see him, meet him.

And whoever did, you know, then they understand who he is. But, you know, I don't forget where I come from. So every time I talk about the industry, I talk about Jamaster Jay and Jason Mazzell. And that's it. I know he ain't trying to go positive or negative, whatever you want to say. But I always salute Jamest J because he was the realist to me. And he's my friend. You think the police did a terrible job?

Terrible job. And like I said, whoever killed him, you know, and there's people who do know. Maybe rotten hell in their family get fucking raped and all types of shit, just cremated and stabbed. Just every nasty thing you can imagine because, man, Jay is hip-hop. And it's sad, you know, like other accidents and other people got killed in the industry, you know, it was different things for that reason. But for Jay, come on, getting killed playing the PlayStation.

You know Jay was one of the realists, so I take it personal. And that's it. Now, I just been blessed to work with Jay and pun and biggie and pop and easy. And not a lot of people could say that. A lot of rappers. Easy E. Yeah, Bone recording. Describe Easy E before you forget about it.

Marketing, businessman, Crip, real one, feared nobody. And just, you know, if you go out. So that movie was inaccurate? No, 90% that movie was real. Like, you know, and everybody was saying, when like Shug came at him. From what I heard, Shug never got at him like that. And at the end of the day, like, come on, you ask Trey, you ask Cube no matter what. You know, easy, put the money up.

Easy was the marketing guy. Easy was the businessman. We're in California right now. Come on. He signed Bone Thugs and Harmony. He signed App Band Clown, which was Will I am. Without him, we wouldn't have a lot of things that we have today, man. Gangster rap and anybody who's real from the world knows the solution.

Listen, his wife owns, you know, one of the biggest catalogs in the game, so that was Easy's, ruthless record. So, you know, he was innovative, a brand ambassador, creative, marketing genius. Come on, man. So at the end of the day, you know, like I said, I feel like Easy, don't get what you deserve. I don't think Bonn does get what they deserve. A lot of, some artists out they don't get what they deserve. You know, I've been blessed to work with just, you know, a lot of legendary groups, 36, Maw, 8, Bone, MG, like I said, the outlaws and Bone,

but, you know, we just need to keep the culture alive, man. That's what we're doing. We brought to work with Young, really, Sonogram, City Boy, D. But listen, before we get up out of here, your relationship was Shugnight. Scott, I want to start with you first. With Shugnight. Shugnight.

You know what? he was somebody I had met a couple of times in Hollywood and then years later I moved into a very exclusive neighborhood in Beverly Hills and he was my neighbor

and you know he was struggling with a lot of things his personal life as well as I was and you know he never did anything to me other than show love

and I got nothing bad to say about the guy and I know he was there for Tupac when nobody was and he, you know we all life is a crazy journey so you know whatever he's been through and has gone through and you know

big up to him and yeah I mean I call him Simon you know Simon I know Simon a long time and I judge people off the way they treat me and I live off respect, and Shook's always been cool with me, you know,

and I don't get involved with all the other stuff. He say, she's say, but at the end of the day, whenever he saw me, showed me love. And, you know, he's in the county jail right now, and I feel like a lot of people should step up and put some money on his books. I know one person that does, Alan Gromblatt for me, one entertainment does.

Look at you, being a real queen's name, I respect that. And at the end of the day, like, come on, he's a real queens guy, right? That was a queen's answer. So, you know, the biggest catalog in hip-hop history is death row, which E1 owns, but you know what, people need to go

put some money on his books, because the end of the day, like, there's always three sides to a story, and that man helped a lot of people, and changed a lot of people's lives. So if you wasn't dead, you really can't, you know, say something about the man, but like I said, I judge people

off the way they treat me like 90% this music industry is a lot of fake ones. Tell them. And they're scared, and they hide behind stuff. And they call, man, there's a lot of rappers get robbed, and they call the white Jewish guy from Queens in L.A. But at the end of the day, like, don't put a facade on. Be real.

Don't be fake. And there's a lot of fake people. But, you know, they're all smile on your face, stab you in the back. So everybody out there who should have made rich and, you know, discovered and help, just go, let's put $50 on his books. You've been in jail, so you know how much that means. But no one's even giving the fuck. That man's going, easy East Sun just came out to county.

He said he saw him. And he said, he looked bad, you know. And if I've had an opportunity to go visit him. A little easy? Yeah, the Leezy was in the county, and he saw, um, um, Shook, but, and they're like, yo, if you don't even know him, go put some money on the man's books, because he did a lot for this culture. Yeah, that's true. And that's what I'm just saying.

Like, if he disrespect me, I would say, you know, eff him, but he never disrespect him. You know, he showed me love him for a long time. So on that note, there's big up shook night. Yeah, I mean, teach his own. My only God could judge. Right. Motherfucking right. I don't know.

Makes a noise. I love this shit. I love this shit. I love this shit. Keep going. Ask questions. I love this shit. Make some noise. I got no filter, so I'm going to tell you the truth. Keep the questions going.

No, I ain't like, I ain't like jokes. Make some noise. Let's make some noise for chocolate. Come on, that's good. And it's funny. Me and Scott, that number of positive things are saying we interact with different times. And that's beautiful. Ain't, ain't nobody going to challenge you or judge you or anything like that. Yeah, we feel no one of God. So, any day, you ever got a problem like, it is what it is.

So I just want to thank both of you brothers for being here in the drink champs, Militia. We're doing what we got to do like we does got to do around the corner from the percolator, keep the percolator on the fire hydrant in the acres water. Got me high as hell, Scott. Your figure, smell me. Say it backwards. I did. It was already back.

You did say the like a little over the little over the shit on the flowers. The first time it was, yeah, I got to mean, waka, bachabagabagabank. He sang out of my language is that. follow it broken so I want I can't thank y'all enough Diego thank you for putting it together thank you for having Steve LaBelle Scott's thoughts coming in here

and just sitting here talking and you know what I've seen you know every other interview and they want to have Scott you know we already know Scott is the guy still dope dope we know Scott is the guy every time you do it you guys are more than welcome invited over to Scott's house and watch and play grand piano

when it's living. No, we're going to do that. We're going to do that. That's another episode. We see it. It's appreciated. But that's another episode. Right now is holiday season. Okay. So we got to stack up the holiday. Let me find out you be in LA without coming over. No, no, no, no. No, no more. We're coming. We're coming back to.

All birthdays coming up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you live in L.A. too? I live in L.A. in New York. I've been not in 20 years. I've seen your father swimming in Queens pool. Man, shout on my dad. I thought there's a Queens pool. That's an L.

By MCM. No, Saturday Avenue. My dad, my dad is 83 years old, and he swims 30 laps, literally, real swimming. At 83 years old, man, solid is a rap. We're a gangster from Queens, and, you know, he knew Jay, he knew Joe. He knows everybody. But at the end of the day, you know, I go back to see my dad, man, because, you know, lost my mom a few years ago.

And I regretted it because I've traveled so much in this game and chasing my dreams and chasing, you know, the history and the passion of this industry. So sometimes you forget to visit home. go home. So now I go home, taking my dad to the Mets games, Yankee games, Jets, Giants, Knicks, Nets, all that. And just spend time in a lemon ice cream, Corona. Just different shit, man. Yeah, because, you know, like, we don't appreciate

sometimes what we really have until it's too late. And, you know, so many people don't even appreciate a dollar bill or a toothbrush, you know, and there's people over the world starving and fucked up. So I appreciate life. So I just go back home and see my dad a lot, man. We stay straight right where we grew up in Queens and I'm going back next week for Thanksgiving.

So, you know, I don't forget where I come from, Nora. You already know that, man. Definitely not going back for Thanksgiving, but go ahead, Scott. Staying in Miami. I'm sorry. I'm here. Get ahead. This is for something to leave.

Mad pressure. No. No, just this is a pleasure to be here, man. I'm just so grateful that you put this amazing show together, man. I'm so proud of you, man. God bless. Oh, thank you. God bless this good people.

God dang. God damn. God damn. God, being there, I'm going to be a podcast, motherfucker. Let me tell you some. You know what they always say? They say, oh, this one, this one, that. But you know what?

You can never count no one out, and everything is there, man. No, don't say that. I want them to count me out. Yeah, well, fuck them. Because everybody counts a lot of people out, but you got the hottest podcast in the world. You do. You're shitting on a lot of people's stuff.

A lot of people. Because you're being real with an innovative and creative. That's right. You don't like that. They like the bullshit. They don't like it. So, you know, anybody. If anybody deserve success, guys like yourself who has a resume and stripes, who put in a lot of work, man, man, DJEF.

Yeah, of course, of course. DJEF. My man, James, used to work of the Zoll back in days. He runs with Whitecliffe now, but you know James, but, you know, at the end of the day. He put us a street team history. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't even know what it was, but it sounded fly to me. But, you know, you guys are innovative, you're creative, it's real.

Thank you. And you put you, you know this what I swear, man. Everybody wants to skip the work. And you deserve it because you put the work in. You got the stripes, man. You're not skipping. Like, you know what it is to go to Fantastic, but then you know what it is to get on a private jet. And the Sprinter.

Yeah. And a tall bus. Exactly. And a tall bus and a car, whatever needed to get done, you were able to get it done. And you're still relevant. I tell people I'm a dinosaur, but on fossil fuel because I stay relevant. So as long as you have a good call. I'm a dinosaur, but I'm fossil fuel because I stay relevant.

That was hard. And I always try to tell people, man, on a business side, less is more. less is more in quality over quantity and to the younger generation that's listening to this money comes and goes but history stays

as long as you make history you're going to make money Rolex don't define us Benzes don't define us money don't define real ones so just you know just work hard man hard work's gonna really pay off

and this is proven right here this is hard work right here through trial and tribulation and still going but respected that's what the key to everything is that's the real key to success respect right

America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimless, Hillbilly Heist, from Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money, Plice.

Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous.

It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million that had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're saying, like, oh, God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example.
