I'm gonna be honest It was like these little niggas is hard. Oh my mama. Hey blood. These niggas is hard right? I like these little niggas right?

You know what I'm saying was it ever gang tension in there or when y'all came in only money was green always I mean only color was Long beach right from LA they found him and you from Crenshaw up to 60s 60s Oh, that's the hardest. Let's make some noise for the hardest gang in LA I'm 60s 60s. Oh, that's the hardest. Let's make some noise for the hardest gang in LA Continue so how did y'all conduct business like behind this shit. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, we say go, you know what I'm saying? I'ma be honest, man, you know, in the beginning, it was real cool, man. Suge, he really, he pushed for us.

You know what I'm saying? Most of you are like our father, you know what I'm saying? Shit like that, you know what I'm saying? We was young kids, he was taking us out. Every time I went to jail, he got me the fuck out. I knew that motherfucker. Wow. Let's make some noise for sugar

Okay, you know, okay, I wasn't familiar, you know, I'm a New York niggas my first time, you know coming to LA, you know We was doing it in the club Video shoot. Oh wow. So She'll pull up right? Yeah Close that door right so we doing in the club All right, and be quiet when you come in here. So look, we doing the home. And this is not, don't do not ask on the floor.

All right, continue. So we doing the interclub video shoot, and you know Dre is there, Emmett's there. So she'll just come out of nowhere like Houdini type shit. He's an intimidating cat, you know what I mean? So he had the, at the time, I think it was the 118th Street crew. This is the first time I've seen a nigga from LA with a tattoo on his forehead, tattoo on his eyes, 18th Street killer this this that that he had all these niggas and everybody came outside 50m It was just I thought it was gonna go down, but excuse me y'all gotta be quiet back there I thought it was gonna go down, but I guess it just didn't go down You know what I'm saying, but I got stories man

The Ja Rule shit like Jaaru is lucky to be alive. All right. And I'm going to keep it real for you. Oh my god. Jaru. We trying to tear this subject. This brother. All them niggas is lucky to be alive,

because when we was in the Hit Factory, I got stabbed right here in my pinky, right here. And I got stabbed right here in my hand. So we was in the studio, Hit Factory. Now I'm new to the game, you know what I'm saying? I know, this was when the rap game was crazy. You had niggas like Jack running around, Scooter, you know, crazy Adelaide niggas, you know what I'm saying? Niggas ran up in a hit factory, but the only thing that saved JaRu life is that the 45 that me and 50 had with no safety was in the other room. Because if me and him would have had that, it would have went down in a hit factory.

It would have been like a Troy Ave situation, my nigga. It would have been crazy. Troy Ave, hold your head, baby. Hold your head, Troy Ave. Right. It got awkward for us. It would have got crazy, but you know, niggas ran up in there, we getting it on. That door gotta close.

You know what I'm saying? Niggas ran up there, we getting it on. It ain't nothing. Ain't nobody press no charges. Now let me ask you something. Hold on, this is what I'm gonna clear. You gotta finish. For the point, ain't nobody press no charges. No real niggas press no charges.

50 ain't press no charges. Tony Ayo ain't press no charges. You had Clark Kent DJ in there. His name is DJ Giz. You understand what I'm saying? He press charges, got his lawsuit, got his money, did whatever he did. Nobody ever press no charges against Murder Inc. Niggas is real niggas. Niggas is really in the streets. Like I said, if that gun would have been in that room, it would have been Tony Ayo locked up, or 50 Cent locked up, and Ja Rule and Murda Ink dead.

Now Fat Joe had beef with 50 and they squashed it. How'd you feel about that? I feel good because you know what I'm saying, like I know you from Chris Lake. That's right, that's right. Let's make some noise for that. Let's make some noise for Chris Lake. Yeah, let's make some noise for Chris Lake. Let's make some noise for Chris Lake. Let's make some noise for Chris Lake. Let's make some noise for Chris Lady. Let's make some noise for Chris Lady.

Let's make some noise for Chris Lady. Let's make some noise for Chris Lady. Let's make some noise for Chris Lady. Let's make some noise for Chris Lady. I just feel like with rap, it's a competition thing. You know what I'm saying? It was never, you know what I'm saying? I rocked with Fat Joe since Jealous Once Envy.

Nah, you a loyal nigga though. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm a fan of hip hop. I ain't a nigga that just jumped on a bandwagon and listened to y'all shit. You know, New York, York, A to A. We're into hip hop, every genre of hip hop. So it's like with the Fat Joe situation, I'm kinda glad it got squashed.

Because you don't want to worry about a million Puerto Rican niggas from the Bronx. There's a lot of them. There's a lot of them. That's right. I heard the Pistol Pete nigga was real. I'm gonna give it up. I heard the Pistol Pete nigga like a couple. I'ma give it up. I heard the pistol pick n***a like a couple of n****s up north with her. And heard her, cause I'm in the streets.

So I'm in tune to the streets. And you was getting locked up a lot too. Yeah, right. Let's make some noise, you getting locked up a lot. Yeah, yeah. I'm still here. Nah, I'm not gonna lie. Hold on, let me stop these people. Listen, with all you motherfuckers here, and only four people clapping, I'm gonna keep it real. If you don't want to clap, you can exit.

Yeah, exit. This is a classic episode. So now you want to continue. Continue, yeah. I just feel like, I've been a fan of Fat Joe since Jealous One's Envy. That's what's up, man. It's good for hip hop. This is all good for hip hop. But you know, hip hop is always competition.

You know how New York City is, and you know, I'm glad that shit is squashed rest in peace to Chris lady Why you know what I'm saying, and you know that was the pioneer this shit. Okay?

Like, right after we did the Rush Hour soundtrack. So that was like, later on.

I was on the Rush Hour soundtrack too, I think. Yeah, that first one. Yeah. Def Jam was cutting checks back then. Let's make some noise for Def Jam. Y'all, a lot of them. Def Jam was cutting checks back then. You know what that was, too? We did the Rush Hour soundtrack.

We did the Rush Hour soundtrack at the time we had gotten paid more than any other artist that had ever been on a soundtrack before. Now listen, I gotta ask everybody this question. We're gonna start with you, Yeyo, we're gonna go all around. All of us has been independent around all of us has been independent All of us has been major. What do you prefer? I Mean, I feel like when you want a major like when we had in the school we had the red carpet We had MTV a lot of people working for you

And I feel like when you go independent, it's just like a lot of more legwork a lot more to do I'm saying you like more It's crazy I like independent money, but I like the major promotion I'm gonna take $2,500, press me a 5,000 CD, maybe 50,000. So the order's coming in, 30, 40,000. I'm gonna press that up, 90 days later. I want the money, man, fuck the fame. I'm riding Bentley. It's everything, man, it's a great experience,

plus I own it all. All 3,000 records, You dig albums that I got. You know what I'm saying? And you producing it too. And you writing your own shit. You got to look at this. You get the check for the CD. You get the check for the digital. That is the other part of the game.

That door got to close. Register the song. Now you get writers and publishing. That's four checks. Look how smart Daz is, man. He's mad. He's mad. He's mad.

He's mad. He's mad. He's mad. He's mad. He's mad. He's mad. He's mad. He's mad. He's mad. clothes registered a song now you get writer and publishing for checks look how smart dad's now the fifth check yeah same sound exchange Now I'm gonna ask you here, don't forget the license. Now I'm gonna ask y'all as a collective for us, what do you like better?

Well, I'm out. I mean, like honestly, me, like I got a different opinion about it because, you know, I went inside for like eight years and like there, and like worked in the monster for real. So it's like, as an artist, once you get to see that side of it, it kind like work in the monster for real. So it's like as an artist, once you get to see that side of it, it kind of like taints you for real.

Cause you like sitting there like, so y'all been telling me this bullshit the whole time and that's what this shit really mean for real. So, you know, I mean, it's a grind, but you know, like it was saying, like didn't know you owned it all. And especially like for us, because we perform in every week.

So it's like, we out there in front of the people. So it's like, you know, you want that promotion and you kinda, you know, you miss it at first, but it's like, man, we've been doing it for 20 years. So it's like, how fucked up is it? That's for real. Now you got a different answer. You look like you wanted to say something different.

No, no. No, no, keep it real. No, I'm different. Your face was different. Come on, talk to the mic, talk to the mic. I'm new, you know what I'm saying? For real, so like, when I got in, it was already, it was already an independent thing, you know what I mean?

So I really don't know about the majors, but you know what I'm saying? I'm the new guy in Drew Hill now. Okay. Like you said, when I first... Oh, so it's just three of y'all now? No, I'm jazz is around here somewhere. I don't know where that...

Okay, okay. Now cover up. You done? Now cover up. What do you like more? Oh, I'm fucking with the majors man. Fuck the bullshit. Game over. You know what I'm saying? The majors make you that brand. That brand is the money. Fuck the album and fuck the bullshit. The brand is the money.

Because even after the majors, my nigga, I'll eat forever off that brand. You understand me? So my key is this here, because Steven Tyler told Dogg and all of us, you know, that's the problem with you rap guys. You fucking don't understand this is fucking rock and roll, Jack. You understand me? We get paid a million point five a show. So while the majors is making their money off our album, we tripled that in one year, what they made off that album. Now they do these 360s, but we got a deal with no 360, all our show money is ours, all our merchandise is ours, everything we do is ours, away from the album. So yeah, when they get that money from the album, they got to break it down in so many pieces. You think they all getting rich like that,

but they break it down in so many pieces between what that company is about and you get your little piece. But at the end of the day, you touring, who was it, it was Mick Jagger. He said, man, the record labels be begging us to make an album, nigga. We don't make an album for five years, nigga.

Fuck album, nigga. We touring make an album for five years nigga fuck album nigga we touring eight months out the year nigga. See I got eight months at a million point five a gig two million a gig my nigga and we touring over eight to ten months out the year. And they don't got no beat with nobody. No beat with nobody. No beat with rock and roll. No rock and roll beat. And then that's not mentioning the merchandise. That's not mentioning the people that's paying them to do these commercials and that. VIPs and shit. Me, me, me.

Me, me, me. That's money. Now the poll. A million point five in one week. Okay. Now the poll, which one's yours? Cause mine was a little bit different. Okay, go ahead.

Cause I recorded my album myself and sold it back to Death Jam. So a lot of people know that Thong Song, all that, that was under my label. Good job. So, you know, that was a lot of the controversy on how... 11 million? That all went to you. Let's make some noise for you. Not wrong, my friend. A lot of money. But yeah, because, you know, with the guys, we learned, we came right out of

high school into the industry, so we learned a lot of hard lessons. Right. And, you know, I came to Def Jam basically with my whole project with the exception of maybe one or two songs. Good job, man. Now, Capone, we're going to ask you, what do you like more, independent or major? I mean I came up in the 90s so you know you got to realize that in that era of music the label was the machine. Right. Machine. When you dealing with a machine you dealing with somebody that you know that's gonna back you that's gonna spend three a lot of people ain't never seen a million dollar budget

video you know let's keep it real dance you seen it corrupt you don't really cost a million but they charge a million We know how that goes. Right, right, right. We know what I'm doing. But at the end of the day, now you can make, no, no, listen, but now you can make that same million dollar video for 20,000. Exactly. Less than that. Less than that. Yeah. All right, now cover up.

You have one of the most classic Vlad interviews ever. That was classic. Pass cover up the mic. What was going on there? You don't remember the Vlad. What was going on there? You just spaced out Corrupt. We loved it. We loved it. You were like, we don't want your blocks cuz we got a, we loved that Corrupt. We loved that. What happened in during that?

We love New York and everybody knows it. And New York love y'all. And they was on my little niggas head, man. They was on my little nigga Kendrick's head cuz. And it's just, it's enough is enough. It was a big misunderstanding. And when Vlad brought it up, you know, that kinda pissed me off cuz. Don't ask me that, you already know what that is.

Nah, we loved you for standing up. So he hit the button and I gave him what he wanted. Let's make some noise for Karat. Yeah! Yeah! Oh! Oh! Fuck the rock.

We so glad Like I keep telling my Spirit though I tell my youngsters and I tell all my pupils right the 90s is dead right okay right the 90s is dead but it's never the honest it's the entourage. That's Michael Ruppert's right. It's the entourage. It's the entourage. You understand what I'm saying? So it's not really the artists. Well it depends on what artist it is.

But the artists are surrounding themselves with the entourage. It depends on who it is. It's the streets. Everybody's individual. The artists want to be tied into the streets. We all from the streets. The artist wants to be tied into the streets. We all from the streets. The artist wants to be tied into the streets. And the streets is tied into the artist.

I'm not saying that we have a answer for it I'm asking from an angle when the cycle ends. Alright, you talking to a nigga that hip-hop police used to follow on a day.

Right. Oh yeah, you got a show. You're not doing your show today. Shut down. Curly Top. I don't know, you don't know who Curly Top is. No, no, no. Curly Top is the top hip-hop police when you come to New York. You see Curly Top, you better run motherfuckers. Yo, let me tell you curly top you better run motherfuckers

Now you see the Bobby smirter Situation right what they doing the prosecutor and DA interface They're gonna make an example out of a nigga because he's a young rapper on the come up right so they give his man 98 years and they give this other man 53 years right So if a nigga see that and be like well I'm gonna make an example out of him He's a rapper and all the young kids see him. We niggas from the street just trying to come up. You understand what I'm saying?

Even the abs situation. God bless him, hope he's good. You know what I mean? You got Scott Lyon. You know what I mean? Free at TROYAV. But you know what I'm saying? Situations happen.

You know what I'm saying? And it's the streets. You know what I'm saying? This is something I wanted to ask the West Coast dude forever, because right now in New York, we are really, it's really gang banging for real. Like, I mean, it's never gonna be like LA,

not even a little bit, but in our hood now, in New York City, there's actually people who come outside, they wear blue, they hang in the blue section, and now there's people who wear red. And at first, I said to them, I said, y'all niggas is fugazi, right? But then I thought about it, I said, then, you know, hip hop is everybody's.

So do you feel like gang culture could be everybody's, or we will never understand it? Like these people. I call it migrating. You call it what? Migrate. Migrate? That's a big word, Daz.

I'm only got seventh grade education. I know. Migrating. Oh, migrating. Oh, okay, all right. That's when it all mixes together. Okay. But this is what I mean.

Is that bogged down to you when you see a- No, because it look like this. It is with the script. Because I wrote a script, right? I got a movie. Uh-huh. I would like to be in this movie. It's called Respect Du, but I call it Colors, too.

Mmm. In New York. In New York. You need me to put this together, Das. This is why we met today. Can I say something to you? I'm executive producer. I mean, Colors, you know what I'm saying?

If you look at Colors, it started from L.A. Now, if you go from Colors to New York, it's a whole nother type of movie. Oh, that's a mean, colors, you know what I'm saying? If you look at colors, it started from L.A. Now if you go for colors to New York, it's a whole other type of movie. Oh, that's a whole other type of movie. I'm cutting this out of the podcast because I'm filming that movie. We're still on that movie. But this is what I can say, like in New York, you got real bloods and real crips. You got niggas like Pistol Pete that roll around with bodies in their trunk. You got niggas that punch niggas on a train on some blood shit,

just for initiation. But I just feel like it's real everywhere you get it. But I feel like, look, a nigga from coming from South Side Jamaica to moving to Long Island in the burbs, you understand what I'm saying? Hold on, we gotta make some noise. Moving to the burbs, god damn it, come on. Make some noise for the nigga.

Yo, come on, come on, come on. Look, look, it's a fucking difference. When I'm in Southside, Guy Brewer, the liquor store closes at 12 o'clock or maybe I can catch the bootlegger. When I'm in Long Island in the Burbs, liquor store closes at 8, 9 o'clock, nigga. What does that tell you? I can go to Farm Fried, Crown Fried, 4 in the morning. When I'm in the Burbs, none of that shit is open for me

to catch a heart attack or for something to happen to me. It's a difference. So niggas turn into what their environment is. If you got a nigga from Brownsville, you know what I'm saying? And everybody in his family's Crip, what the fuck you think he gonna turn to? You gonna tell me that just cause he from New York,

he ain't a real Crip or real blood? right, hell no cuz we go to Rikers Allen That's the real shit I seen in my life Ones that push that line was like Little Rock, Arkansas. Yeah. We see the documents. They're on vacation. And the whole thing is, cuz, no matter where you, it ain't about where you from, it's where you at, my nigga.

And you can't take nothing from there. I wouldn't tell near one of them young niggas they ain't what they say they are. Right. Yo, you know what? Cuz them niggas just dying for what they love. I'm not mad at the New York game. We go to Brails, man. You know what? We go to Longs. We go to Queens. Say they are No, I'm saying if I was still in the hood, what would I be In jail right direct sales to like right what would the I check my rap sheet I got direct sales bail jumping I got all kinds of shit so if it wasn't for 50 and Jesus and niggas

let's make some noise for 50 and Jesus god damn it let's also make noise for Kipo Dyan. Let me tell you something. Hold on, hold on. After 50, check it, Paul, check it, Paul. After 50 got shot, right? After 50 got shot nine times, right? Right, after he got shot nine times. Damn, God. He used to drive from Pennsylvania, PA, in the Poconos with a Mac-10 30-shot clip

every single fucking day. That's like in the movie. We had no AC. No AC. Clement Vann. Me and him driving from Pennsylvania to New York with the Mack every single day. Now there's times when we had tour bus full of guns. We could have caught up Bobby Smyrda or any one of these cases.

But God was on niggas side. Right. And you know as you get older you look at that shit like him niggas was lucky. You got a break, right? Like niggas went as much young niggas wildin at that time very true 90s hip-hop was different like Yeah, we found niggas in Queens is a fact I be watching like a lot of the gangsta documentary. That queen shit. Right, yeah. We're foul niggas in Queens, it's a fact. Let's make some noise for us being foul in Queens. Yeah, you're foul niggas.

You know what, you know, let me tell you something. Queens remind me, Queens remind me of L.A. a lot because as opposed to like, you know, grass, grass, grass. Like, you know, they always have beef. Y'all in L.A. all, like as far as artists go. Y'all always have, and I can't tell because it was because y'all crews,

because it was gangs. Yeah, or neighborhoods, you know what I'm saying? Because to me, Queens or Miami, LA, it's just like, you know what I mean? Because like, niggas don't get on. Let me get a bogey. I think it remind me, I think it remind me. Look, you take that.

Nah, I'm gonna take your last one. Go ahead. Am I gonna take your last bogey? Oh, I'm gonna take your last one boy. I'm not gonna take your last Thing cuz when you go like talking shit, yeah grasses grass and houses in here, right? Yeah, they kill you And I was going to Louisiana fried chicken every. And then you came and picked me up, and I went to that lady with you. He said, nigga, what the fuck are you doing? Getting out of here.

I was like, I was coming here every day. He said, the Mexican gonna kill you. You know what I'm saying? I had no idea what I was doing. It was a Louisiana Fried Chicken. And you told me, you said, you're out of line. I'm like, come on, guys. Time to roll, man.

You remember that? Time to roll, my niggas. Time to roll, guys. And then I remember you brought me to a... It was a crypt block, and I believe a Masta Cody block was right up the block. It was Atray Gangster or something. I took you to my neighborhood, girl. And your neighborhood is right down the block from that. Right, and then up this thing on 83rd is where the riots started.

Atray set that shit up. They did that, cuz. They put it in. That's Masta Cody's good. 83rd is where the riots started a trace Normandy that's a right start no, yeah Yeah, see let me tell you let me'all about the reason why I say that it reminds us of Queens because, their hood is similar to South Jamaica. South Jamaica has houses. You see houses in the grass. We have houses. You see houses.

You have houses, so you might get confused. You might be like, oh, I'm good. I'm not in the hood. I'm not in the hood. Because you got some new projects. Yeah, and then the niggas behind the tree like this. Right, for good. I'm not even a hood. I'm not in the hood. Because you don't have so many projects. Yeah, and the niggas behind the tree like this. What you doing, my nigga?

What are you doing here? And this is the same way they hood is. You do drive through, and you might be like, damn, I don't see niggas outside. Them niggas is outside. Them niggas just looking at your ass. Because this is the crazy shit. When I hung out, when I bunker up to the Bronx,

I had them in the Bronx chilling. And they would watch every car go through. And that shit was crazy to me because we don't watch no car go through. And every car that went through, they was like, I'm like, yo, y'all, no, y'all can relax. And they're like, no, this is, this is, y'all, they trained to like, but in New York, that's the exact opposite. We trained to see a nigga walk up

I'm sitting there with Nori. They get sitting on a little brick thing right there. I'm just sitting there with Norrie. Cars just moving so fast. I'm just like, huh. Now you, RBX, all of y'all. It was all of y'all. Every time a car passed by, y'all all looked. And I started to realize. You know what I think it is about New York, though?

Look, it's New York. We didn't have that. I'm not used to that man. So niggas come there, they're not used to seeing big ass buildings. Like to go to a rockstar, you gotta park and go through rocks there. Right, that's what I'm saying. Projects ain't big. They might have little buildings. It's different than

when you come to New York. Nigger projects might be looking left right. It's huge. Yeah, exactly. Let's make some noise for Tony Ayo know what he talking about. Come on, man. I want to talk to him, man. I got to talk to him.

Let me tell you why your movie is right in the zap because see I never knew that like Crips had B4 Crips until I actually got to LA.
