You know, I'm always searching for inspiration and useful tools to maximize joy. Like one of my friend Henry Winkler offered advice to aspiring actors and really anybody, hoping to stand out. You're not hired just to fill time and space. You're hired to fill the space with

you. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our hometown is not a test tube. 90 miles northeast of Nashville, a battle for the future of America plays out in one small town. Developers with right-wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land. We need cities on a shining hill. This is Our Town, a podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment and fights back. Guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to Our Town on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 3 podcast.

This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families. It's a scorched earth war that shows just how. far someone will go to get what they want. Cindy said I had to choose between the truth and my family, and I had to choose the truth. Listen to season three of Burden of Guilt on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I said, I'm going to just do this album. But I didn't realize outside of the 20-year anniversary that all of these other things that was in the divine alignment was happening.

The me and Maudeau's is talking and the music was coming together, it just was like, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. This is a real divine timing moment and we're going to fucking ride those waves so crazy to rep Diller and rep this incredible music. And he's one of my favorite producers,

so it's like when I rhyme on his shit, he brings something else out of me. Yeah, yeah, what up y'all? This is Joe Crack to Dawn. No, it is your boy Jada. you know what it is the Joe and Jada show every show legendary, every show iconic today, those things are again to say the least.

You know what I mean? You're not even dealing with, I don't think you know what's going on with today. You know what I mean? There's somebody that should get an award every time they do an award show. You know how the NBA rest of the piece you should just give something to Bill Russell.

He just got a designated seat, a designated check. They make a trophy out of them and all. That's how I feel about my guest today and also about LL. And that's another story. When you think of today's guests, you think energy. Kinetic, magnetic, supreme energy. originality showmanship

one of the most undeniable voices in hip-hop from the leaders of the new school days to the solo album career the iconic video the movie roles the collaborations and not to mention

the best live boys performance is ever known demand time. He's celebrating a major movement. A new project, Diligence to, built from beats, left behind from the legendary Jay Diller that was actually left in his hands.

Career anniversaries, a star on a Hollywood Walk of Fame, A run that continues to prove he is just not a part of hip-hop history. He is still pushing it forward. Brooklyn is in the building. The dragon is here. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome my big brother, Buster Round. Hell of an intro.

Hell of an intro, Kink. Okay, so Buster Moms, you're not a artist. you're not a legend, you're not an icon. They ain't make words for you. You're like a fucking bait hove in a Mona Lisa in this motherfucker. And I know, because I'm an old nigga in this game,

and I think I work hard. And you, you work harder than anybody. You in the studio every day. If there's some shit going on, you're there. If it's across the country, you're there. If you're just like, I mean, is there a method to the madness? Or you just be like, yo, every day I'm going to do something crazy.

I'm going to go work. What is it? What keeps you moving like that? I love this shit. It's as simple as that. I fucking really love this gift that we was blessed with. And I don't play with it. I feel like it's bogged to me if a motherfucker

identify with a gift they was blessed with and they don't exploit it to show their appreciation. That's weird to me. Like a motherfucker that know that they got this ability and everybody get gifted with shit it's just for you to identify with them. Hone in on the motherfucker. I feel like the way you're so God

that you're grateful for that shit is the wow, is maximize the ability that you have once you figure out what that gift is. Anything other than that to me is like blasphemy. Dead serious. So there be days when I might wake up and I ain't got no plan on what I'm doing for the day.

Besides, I might need to rest or relax. I'm overcharge. But I like going in a studio because sometimes even if you're going there and you don't come up with shit. You still came up with something by being there. You won't miss what you come up with when you need to be at the right place to capture the shit. when you find it.

Because it's like niggas fucking, what's they call that fucking show? The deadliest catch? Yeah. Niggas throw the fish net

in the motherfucker would be a storm out that bitch the niggas don't catch nothing and almost die. But then you go out there and you throw that

fishnet back out there that thing's coming home with wild lobster, crab, shrimp, all type of shit because it's just being in that place at the right time.

You got to be in the game. You never know. You never know. And it's like for me, I love a studio because the motherfucker don't argue with you. Studio don't try to lie to a nigga don't manipulate neggas.

And get no unnecessary regular bro. That part. None of that. So it's like you're in a space that you can actually even if you just want a proper peaceful sleep

without being distracted for a couple hours. That's a fine. You can go right in that motherfucker play some music, relax and that's it You know your man

put me to sleep the other day You know I was at the dentist Dr. Fasum Saturday Oh Dr. Fudge Big up Dr. Fajum Your man put me to sleep

That motherfucker He said I know I know you're anxious You don't worry You're gonna go to You're out Diggum woke up nine hours later Yo

What's up baby That thing crazy And he had talked You talk some crazy shit to you That's super peaceful No and I learned how to fly Remember I was scared to fly I met a pilot

His name was Captain Mike And he took me on his plane And he was like Don't worry It's gonna be all right He was closing the door Everything's smooth I flew for the military

The man took off While he was talking to me I didn't feel one bump That's what changed my life It said oh shit I could fly Yeah That's how you're man talk to me the fucking anesthesiologist.

He gave me that fucking shit, that polyurethane. Who was out, boy, that is. He ain't playing. So, boss, you came in here, not that you don't always, but you came in here on no bullshit. You came in here, honest.

You came in here, pure by your responses. Because sometimes we're on bullshit, but today you, I feel like you're in a rare space. What do you think Buster Rhyms means to the world of hip-hop in the game? It was all said and done. What do you think you have committed, contributed to the game?

What do you think? What do you want us to the purest form and say, you know, Buster Rimes represented this? I don't know yet because I got a lot of shit left to do. I ain't nowhere near that. way of thinking yet. Yeah, but I want you to think like that for the question. I know you know where to be that.

For the question, without question, I don't think what I have contributed and what I've done can be questioned. I'm the greatest, one of the greatest to ever do this shit. And I mean that because I've been able to substantially and consistently defend that type of talk. Do my action.

You know what I'm saying? It don't matter if we rhyming on records with each other. It don't matter if we're on the stage. It don't matter whatever it is. There's no inconsistency in that specific area of what the observation has been on the general consensus level. They ain't no nigger could tell anybody in any conversation that bus rhymes don't get busy.

It ain't one of the best to do it when they come to getting busy. So, you know, this ain't even me being on no stroke my own ego shit. This is just facts. The facts, you know. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And I think that shit is, it speaks directly to all of us, though. There ain't, I don't know how many motherfuckers we're going to be able to say that 25 and 30 year runs and it's still the shit.

No. That's the fuck. That shit ain't, I don't know how many of that we're going to really see how we. I'm really afraid. Yeah, like how we, how we live. No, no, no, no. Right here, you got to go. No, no, no.

That's the realest shit. I need to play. Listen, I'm going to tell y'all something that's going to get me in trouble. I'm going to say this to you too, though. I'm touching the third round. I'm about to say some shit that's going to get me in trouble. And you're still going to say? Yes.

Buster Rhymes did a video with the elephant chasing him on purpose because he wanted that look. I went to Summer Jam the other day. It looked like ringing brothers and bawling them barely circus. I mean, I've been hearing this. I've been hearing this, man. I said this is where Jay-Z brought out Michael Jackson. This is with Buster Rhymes and Nas and Benjamin's rock. It's shit, the future of here, pop.

Oh, my Lord, God bless him. I need some future kings and queens to come out because this is landmines. I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't say this because I encourage everybody. I encourage the youth. But this is a real shit show going on.

Like, yo, I encourage the youth. But you're absolutely correct. I can't look at a young artist, well, not too many, that I could say in 25 years, 30 years, they're going to be doing it. I mean, there's a few, though. Like, I gotta give it up to

Cole. I give it up to Kendrick. I give it up to... They're not young. I mean, they're younger than us. They're not considered young no more. That's not the shit show, I see. I feel you. No, I'm not talking about dumb. Them niggas are already OGs to them young niggins. Right, right, right. You understand what I'm saying? They're already 40, 38, like they, they old geez. I'm talking about the Utenham. We have a major problem in hip hop. You know what I've learned, the things, it really matter.

You can't rush them. Fats. You can't rush the sauce. You can't rush the music. You can't rush relationships. And you definitely can't rush great tequila. That's why 1800 tequila stands out. The name goes all the way back to the 1800s.

When the Beckman family started making tequila. And that patience, that attention to the creole. has been passed down through more than 11 generations. That's legacy. Sometimes you just got to let something cook. Juan Beckman Vidal aged 1800 and Neo longer than he even had to because he knew it wasn't ready yet. I respect that.

Don't put it out just because you can put it out. Put it out when it's right. That applies to a record, a conversation, move, you're making, and clearly a bottle of tequila. Once you get it right, you share it with your people. That's always been part of the story. Good tequila, good conversation, and the people around you really appreciate both. Passion, hard work, honestly. Those words are written on every bottle of 1800.

And honestly, that's the foundation for anything built to last. So take your time with what you're creating. And when the moment is right, share it with your people. 1800 tequila, good stuff takes time. And the best stuff's meant to be shared with your people. Shaheen Reed, you've been covering hip-hop since day. Am I exaggerating? Am I out of line by saying that?

Or do you get scared when you go to those events and you see the youth? If we're talking about hip-hop culture. You don't have to touch the third rail. If we're talking about hip-hop culture, the culture we understand. I'm not just talking as an old nix. You got the right to remain silent, shot. You know what it is, though? It's like a lot of these kids, because I was doing a lot of

stuff with Rolling Loud when they first started, right? So it's like a lot of these kids, they had a viral hit, and all of a sudden, they got booked for the show. Like, they say, okay, we're going to put you in front of 50,000 people. It's no workup. Like, they don't have, like, the minor leagues for it. It's like, it's no the locks and meets on 125th Street and the cipher. Like, they never even experienced that.

It's no Joe and Biggie. and the club that you used to journey is much shorter you go straight from your room there ain't no development it ain't no artist development no more real shit I was at

I don't know if it was called How can I be down In Washington D.C That's when it's first start And it made it this Puerto Rico And I was In the C Vegas don't know

How can I be down In Howard University and I'm sitting there and I'm watching all the legends heavy deed public enemy everybody talking on the panel well jacked rap before all I heard

in the crowd was there's this new group it's called the fucking leaders of the new school right everybody is before Flojo this everybody was like yo I think y'all performed

at a church that night of some shit but it was like everybody had to go it was mandatory to go. Obviously, y'all worked on the stage show. Obviously, y'all put effort into it when y'all fucking body in that. You know, I can't just say

there's no artist development. You got to develop yourself if that's the case. Austin, we're on the greatest situation up all the time because he developed himself. I didn't go front. You had your crew. You had the same passion and drive. And you did listen to people. Of course, she was developing

yourself, but you was listening you was listening to hip-hop into the culture. Now they don't give a fuck. They don't think they know every. One hit song, they don't got to listen. You, me, or they get out of it. That's the fact. And that's just how I go.

That's a fact. We listen to the Pioneer. We watched how the game went and try to add some of your own shit, but of course following protocol of hip-hop. Now they've made their own fucking menu. script of what they do. And there's a difference between then and now, too. It's like the mentality to want to learn, it's not there.

It ain't the same. Like, I used to literally get my whip and drive to Kane's crib in Jamaica Estates and just hang out at his house. And just watch. Sometimes it wouldn't even be no conversation. You're just seeing them chilling in a crib. And I was fortunate enough to be welcomed by those. those dons in their peak times,

like seeing the cars in the garage and seeing the jewelry laid out and the furs and the fits get prepared before they went to the fucking Roseland to go do a show or Studio 54. Parrish used to let me come to his crib. Show me that this nigga had a real estate portfolio. This nigga had one crib where his wife

and his kids was at that was uncharted territory. Niggas couldn't pull up there. This is the house where niggas could pull up, blow tree, make music. This Das Krib, this Doss effects crib. This is where Schumer Management was at. Like, niggas just had real estate. So you would, I would look at this shit and be like, and they got four fucking gold albums on the wall

and you doing all of this shit. I need to learn how to do this shit. I want to learn how to own these properties. And I want to have my jewelry laid out and my cars and my family situated like these motherfuckers and they gave you the answers. See, that's the thing. It's like, first of all,

the mentality is different. I definitely, I had Chuck D, bro. The motherfucker gave me my name Buster Rhimes, bro. He gave us the name leaders of new school. We had to earn the shit. You know, we had to battle motherfuckers that wanted the same name.

Everything had to come with how much you willing to sacrifice in a productive way. Are we doing the wrong thing as OG's not taking the young dudes and bringing them in our sessions and hanging out with them and shit like that? You don't want to hang with us. I think it's a combination of that. Fortunately, for me...

Some of them, you find a few albums out there. That's what I was going to say. I still have the opportunity of being around them artists. Because a lot of them, they'd be in a studio. I'm in a studio every day. They're in a different floor working in a different room. They see me in and elevated out of here. I'm in there.

they want to pull up. Come on in. If I ain't in the middle of some shit, come in the room, sit down, press play. I'm going to press play. Then they get into the conversations. And you know, a lot of the times we got so much experience

to just stories, these motherfuckers ain't going to never hear. Just from a conversation that just might take a direction. Neither one of us expected it was going to take the direction of. We get to talking about some shit at the tunnel. we get to talk about some shit that happened at Quad.

I know some of the legendary stories at Quad. I'm kids. They be in disbelief. Like they be in the building and don't even know that shit happened. So you know that's the building. I know it's the building. You know what I'm saying?

So it's like when we talk and they get to hear it. Sometimes those conversations make them little motherfuckers get quiet. And they want to listen and they want to learn and they want to pull up again. And then, you know, I encourage new MCs to the point where I clearly don't want nothing from no artists. Like, I'm not interested in signing no artists no more.

I'm not interested in none of that. I don't want the responsibility or the headache or the entitlement mentality that a lot of artists come with. I'm just not in that space. It's a lot less fun when you start taking on all of these other personalities. So it makes it even more pleasurable for me when I get to share the Jew and then I can give you a friendly of a monitor that I bust your ass.

If you want to get on this record with me and you're going to have to work, you're going to have to earn it because I ain't going to dumb it down because you're the younging or I ain't going to dumb it down because we just had a dope conversation. You still got to earn it.

But you could pull up and you could get this work. Just know, come with your toolbox, motherfucker. and sharpen your shit up and let's get to work. But again, the mentality is different. So like Jayda's saying,

a lot of these motherfuckers, sometimes just the mentality ain't where it need to be. But it comes with time, so you don't even, I don't really try to judge or critique because, you know, we was them little knuckle-ass niggas niggas that ain't want to listen sometimes to.

Yeah, but I listen to all, like, even to this day, if I'm driving now Manhattan, I see Melly Merrill Mellon, the corner, I'm pulling the shit over and I'm making the movie for him. We was raised different though. If I see Slick, if I see any of the legends, I'm jumping out that whip, saluting them on a whole different. So you got to understand, we gave our life to hip hop.

I know you gave your life to hip hop as a fan, but we went, God, hip hop, family, dirt. That's the fact. That's just the truth. That's a fact. Every time I turn around, fucking bust the rounds over here, over there. Next week, I'm going to Roman. Just don't stop. All I see up.

Conquer in the globe. I've almost got the thing up now. I see you shout out. Countries I never even heard of. Here today, Salute is very beautiful. We're going to rip this shit. I think Buster realizes Buster has a very expensive

lifestyle. And Buster realizes that it takes like gas to fuel a car. Like to live the way Buster Rob lives, you have to make a lot of money. So it means you have to work even when you don't technically need it. Because this man, this man is, he got a lot of bills. And so he won't stop working because he knows, yo, that's just.

Blessings don't stop. Some days I look at the motherfucker. He's doing a shit with the fucking ship hat. Like, yo, the blessings don't stop. I'm like, yo, this motherfucker fucking working. But you also in the studio every day. but what is a studio bill like for you for a yearly studio? I don't own.

You got to be part ownership and something. Yeah, yeah. You got to have some type of deal with. Yeah, yeah. You could do that? Yeah. Like in a professional studio owned the room? A few years ago.

If you're there more than everybody, fucking in the history? I definitely got a jerk for studios. You got to let you in somehow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got jerk for studios. We all did. Yeah, but we only know this after all of them years.

Right. That's a fact. Shelling out all of that. That bread, you know it. That's a fact. Listen, I'm helping your studio. We, let's figure something. Let's figure something out.

Motherfucking right. Motherfucking right. Yeah, because I've always said to myself, I said, damn, I'm in the studio every night. You got to be legendary. Like, you know, he, you got your own studio up in your office. He's in Midtown Manhattan in the biggest. I got my own studios in a cryptos.

but I'm not welcoming. It's never the same. You can't have people. I don't want the same company at the stool. No. Come to my criss. You can't come to my cream. I'm not doing that.

I'm not doing that. That's a fair. That ain't the same company. It's just a company. It's just a company. It's stuff a lot. Man, I ain't doing that shit by you. Come on, God.

You in the house. That's a thing. That's a kid. That's like square bob, sponge bob square pants shit. Like, you can't get in a. First of all, we need an escape. I don't want wives

Hip-Hip Wives. That's what he was saying. This studio is a change. We don't want you to massacre us. But we need to be with our guys talking shit about the games, talking this shit about this. Just, you know, you need that.

You cannot do it in the house like that. If you can, salute. But you need We need this We need this studio You need this story You need to full off fucking shit

Break I got to take the back. You know, we're going to wait until you get back. Now, we're going to wait until you get back. You know what's crazy, man. That hip-hop fans will argue about anything. I'm talking best rapper live, best era,

On the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita. The Pity for Possibility.

Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

So this podcast lets us uncover those things together through meaningful conversations with fascinating people. Like when my friend Henry Winkler offered advice to aspiring, actors and really anybody hoping to stand out. You're not hired just to fill time and space. You're hired to fill the space with you. You have something in your guts. You go with it. And Sean Johnson recalled the moment she realized her now husband, Andrew, was the one.

He was just so unapologetically himself and knew nothing of Hollywood. He hadn't been on a plane before without his family. It was so pure. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 3 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families. It started more than seven years ago when Cindy and Kenny were two 40-somethings who had just gotten engaged. Days later, they walked into a scorched earth war they knew.

never saw coming. Turn around and place your hands behind your back. The cops given to my house and threw me in jail. And to Cindy's surprise, her fiance, Kenny, was charged with abusing one of her children. I never once doubted Kenny, and I always doubted the accusation. On season three, a burden of guilt, you'll hear a story about the length someone will go to in order to get what they want. This case has got to be one of the most despicable.

Listen to season three, a burden of three. guilt on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Y'all, here's a little story trim, fire in the tale. Old man, bathroom break. I got to take

it to Jay Diller. Right? About to switch my question and take it to your question. How did you get the beats? How did this start? How was it? You know what I mean? Was he supposed to do something before it? He passed

Because I know y'all used to O, he owes you guys Yeah, he always would give me Like these beat CDs Of 25 beats And like they would be short You know what I'm saying? They'd be super short

Like 20 seconds, 30 seconds Every now and then You might get a beat that would be a peeped song at the time Yeah But it would always be 25 It never really exceeded 25 beats So he initially

created these volumes It was like volume 1 through 5 You got 125 beats right there But the crazy shit is He would start having me come to his crib When he moved to L.A. Because Dill is from Detroit But

When Dillis started to get ill with the sickness that he was dealing with, it was lupus And I got a salute comment so much for this because Kamen and Diller was super cool and super close too and common

he actually helped move Diller to L.A. with his mom's, Mardukes so he could be closer to the specialist for his treatments. I was living in L.A. at the time because Diller passed in 06. This is his 20 year

anniversary of his transition. And I was working... 20 fucking years, Jay Dillard. Dillard been here. 20 years. It's crazy. I remember hearing that shit. Like, yo, Jay Dilla just...

That's cool. And it's a ill-divine alignment with just the timing of everything because I started with Diller in 96. He gave me my first two beats on my first solo album. That's 30 this year. Wow.

He did the title track on the Genesis album, which turns 25 this year. Wow. He did a couple beats on Big Band. album and that turned 20 on the day the next one to chip June 13th

we dropped that in 2006 the year that Dillah passed so that's the last project he contributed to while he was alive and crazy shit is they airing the Grammys in 2027 on his born day

wow shit so this Dillah Dilligence 2 album happening is a combination of moments of when he put beats in my hand personally and then shit that I was gifted with from people that was in the same circle

because it just kind of became the thing that I was like a custodian, a Dillers' beats and his music. Anybody got something left. It only makes sense. Yeah, they just kind of like, you know, put it with the rest of the shit because you got those diesel archive of Dillers' production from him personally.

And then Ma Dukes was very instrumental in that. But back to Common, Common moved in and lived with Dilla with Ma Dukes in L.A. while he was getting his treatments. And it's so beautiful to watch, even though it was torturing the watch. But as Dillard was getting sick, his mom kind of stepped in and became his engineer.

So, like, he had two beat machines on the table in the closet, all his albums that he would say. from was set up an alphabetical order from the ceiling to the floor so whenever he told his moms to go pull a record she knows exactly where to go and pull it and give it to him and then whatever beat machine he wanted to work on she would be the one behind that shit plugging that shit in like his engineer and then he would just get busy and um this is the dilla that used to amaze me because dillen do too much talking we would joke and laugh at shit

but he was on that machine until he was ready to press play for you. Being able to sit there and watch this man go through having me on Slum Village Slum Village's fantastic Voyage Volume 2 album, which I think that album is almost 30 years old at this point. He always included me in shit he was doing. So it wasn't just him giving me shit.

he always reached out to me to ask me to spit on this or just do an intro on this project or shit like that. So that's how the accumulation of the Dillard Beach happened. You know what I'm saying? That's how the Stash grew. Or it's ill because in addition to having a lot of this Dillon music, T3 is the remaining, the last member of Flum Village. that's alive.

So Batten, who was in Slum Village, passed away? I mean, El Zah was a part of Slum Village, but I'm talking about the original. Who's the only ones left? It's only T3. Dill is gone, Bat Ten is gone, and then it was T3.

T3 is here, and he's actually on the album. Right. So, you know, and big up to Mick, DJ Mick, formerly DJ Mick Boogie, he kind of was the one

that inspired me to do the first Dillard Project 19 years ago in 2007, when we just put it out to just tribute Diller's life. And Dillam moms called me in November. I was finishing another album. And Dillam moms called me in November and was like, yo, us, you know, we always do Diller Day and Dillam month in February

because he's born February 7th. He passed February 10th. And I never was able to be a part of those because of schedule conflict. You know, a lot of the times that January be slow at February, should pick up crazy. Grammys, the fucking all-scow football. He's doing nothing in January.

He can't sit down in February. So it's always been a scheduling conflict. So I haven't been to one of them since he transitioned. So moms was like, I need you to think of something that we could do special for Dilla Day and Dillamont. And I always do records with him. Like Dill is on every album that I've ever made solo except two.

So I figured to just do a record or two, three songs, you know, that ain't nothing outside of what I normally do to rap dillard and carry on his legacy. So I said, I'm going to just do this album. But I didn't realize outside of the 20-year anniversary that all of these other things that was in the divine alignment was happening. It was like as the month of, as the, the me and Maudeuks is talking. And the music was coming together. It just was like, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. And it was just weird. But obviously, ain't nothing coincidental about destiny.

You know what I'm saying? So I just looked at this whole shit. This is a real divine timing moment. And we're going to fucking ride those waves so crazy to rep Dilla and rep this incredible music. And he's one of my favorite producers. So it's like when I rhyme on his shit, he brings something else out of me,

different from when I rhyme on a lot of other producer shit. I know the feeling. Whenever I rhyme with like a digging in the crates member, I rhyme a whole different way. It's real shit. I just go back at the Fat Joe, the Gay Set. It's just like Diamond to be like, yo, here go to beat, and I just rhyme D-I-T-C Fat Joe.

I just don't know all the way. And if you hear me on that, you might be like, damn, this nigga used to rap once upon a time. Like this shit is like, because your motherfucker is just fitting balls and all, so you got to be on your shit. But I feel the same way.

Certain producers, you know, when I moved down to Miami and started working with Kool and Dre, I felt like, you know, I felt like I could do different things. Big up to Kool and Dre to our brothers. Love them, bro.

I'm brothers. For real. man. That's how I feel with Q-Tip too, though. You know what I'm saying? Like Q-Tip, every time I got on that motherfucker production, that shit just turned me into like five animals at once this shit. You know what I'm saying? I just black

when I hear his shit. It just, he just it's something about that pocket that his shit sits in when he do his beast in the way the way them kick slapping them, snags slapping them fucking baseline. They just, him and Dill up would do shit that you got to go to their store to get that specific

shit. You want to know what's crazy that... The last verse that Buster Rounds call me you know, selective

with his, with his compliments and all that. Like, you got to really impressed Buster Rons, my nigga, like he's not a regular

gotta. You know, that niggas like the Sincay or something. What's the shit? You said, sumatumac chalry. Nigger,

he's a sumatum tumor calorie. You're not getting away. Look at your man's in them. Uh, Yo, let me tell you to say, but anyway,

yo, son, you put your foot in that ass. It was the fucking Q-tip joint that he did for L.L. with me, him, and Rick Ross. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what man? He said, LL sent me there to listen to the album,

and Q-Tip went like this. I need you to rhyme. I said, rhyme way. He was like, this right now. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, you put me on the spot of all spots. He was like, come on. Give me that joke crack shit.

This. I was like, I had to spit that verse right there for the Q-Tick. That shit was kind of, that's tip, though. It was like nervous. Yeah. You know, I was like, yo, I, it's fucking, if we follow the Bible and hip-hop. Correct, right?

We over here living this culture. This is fucking Q-Tip. Yeah. And I'm like, You know, maybe he thinks I don't write my rhymes, my nigga, like something. I don't know what the fuck. He's trying me? No, I'm up in there, like...

He liked to make sure that you record through his shit because he needed the sound. He needed to sound the way he wanted to sound. We worked on the tribe, last tribe album before Fife passed. God bless the... Fife, we love you. We miss you, bro. Oh, we love you, Fife. Fife, diggedy.

We could not... He wouldn't send us no beat. When I tell you, he would... Jack White had to come to Q-tip Cribb. Andre 3000 is in Q-Tip Cribb. Me, Talibh, Khalid. Only person that ain't come to

Q-Tip Crib during that album was Elton John on the solid wall of sound john. I think I got Elton John to do something. It's only... Dang. Like, I think I missed that. Elton John. On the last travel.

Oh, I'm trying to tell you. No, no, no, no. You just get anybody in the universe of planet history of shit. I see them clear samples. You just cannot. If the artist, if you heard, this artist don't clear. He was out of. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. You know, any sample, any artist that you ever heard, yo, they don't clear or he clearing. I asked him a couple of times, like, you, how do you sample that? How do you get that? You know that Michael Jackson. How you... Did that Q-Tip? I don't know if it's nice guy records.

I don't know what the fuck it is. That motherfucker, he'd get it clear. Like, nobody's telling Q-Tip? No. I'm not telling them no. Yeah, Tip different. Tip introduced us all to Dillard.

That's how I meant Dillard through Q-Tip. That's how Daila heard about Dilla through Q-Tip. Like, Q-Tip is a very interesting conduit to all of this shit on the East Coast, believe it or not, when they come to this hip-hop shit. Nah, a lot of motherfuckers, Q-Tip introduced or elevated or contributed to their evolution for the better

once you got next to him and started to work and just be around the vibe. But just Q-Tip really is like... The pure. One of the fathers of, of, the shit we became. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I got a, I got a, you know, we had,

Moni Love came here one time. I never looked at it like that. And she was like, you know, we always felt like we were your big brothers or your uncles. I'm like, what are you talking about? She was like, you know, Chris Lighty put you on. She was like, that was his first label. We were like, yeah, that's our little brother.

I was like, she said, we didn't even know you when we was rooting for you like, yeah, that's crazy. Like, that's nuts. Yeah, it's crazy. So you never see the dynamic of who leads to who, who needs, who's the family tree. Right. Who's the thing? But you are right, Q-Tip?

I don't know if we got a $1003,000 without a Q-Tip. I just don't know. I don't want to be putting shit in people's mouth, but I'm just telling you that Q-Tip inspired a lot of what happened. I was going to say, I don't know if we got $100,000. and then his mother don't meet his father. Special guy, you know. Your boss is special.

Yeah. The reason why he's top five. Jada is crazy. Oh, no. Jada crazy. And they tried to play with him the other day. I was pissy drunk at my party. He says, damn, man, you listen to everything, Joe.

Oh, yes, I do. I told him today, nice and sober. I said, you see it, niggins. You hit him back with her. That motherfucker That motherfucker I had to give you a quack at that back-handed right quick That shit, return to send us

You know it's my birthday business partner. Nothing fell off the truck. I'm looking for something. I have something for the nose.

The truck is coming. You don't want nothing for the nose. Little fencing all, something for me. Nothing for the nose. Little fenty? You got a little fenty for me something? A little something. Maybe you got a trim for something for the trim.

On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B.

I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're

You have something in your guts. You go with it. And Sean Johnson recalled the moment she realized her now husband, Andrew, was the one. He was just so unapologetically himself and knew nothing of Hollywood. He hadn't been on a

plane before without his family. It was so pure. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 3 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families.

Turn around and place your hands by your back. The cops given to my house and threw me in jail.

And to Cindy's surprise, her fiancé Kenny, was charged with abusing one of her children. I never once doubted Kenny, and I always doubted the accusation. On season three of Burden of Guilt, you'll hear a story about the length someone will go to in order to get what they want. This case has got to be one of the most despicable.

They're just still using my name and likeness because I ain't able to make that shit. You're not even going to make the show? Going to be in Barbados at another show. I'm like, baby, bust the place. Some, you know what? Sometimes I get jealous of the Jada kiss shows because they look like a lot of fun. He show up in the Brooklyn block and start ripping that shit. I don't even know what they don't allow me to do shit like that,

sure they do. Just drive your car there, pull up, park, and get out in the same way I did. I wasn't even supposed to be there. You know, that was my man's block. You just felt like I'm going to rip this shit down. I was going to get a chair and sitting. I was actually going to see D-D-D. I went there to look at D-D-D-D.

And Specialet, they saw me on the other side of the stoop and threw me to Mike like a volley boy. Oh. Shut it up. Where was you at when you heard that I got it made for the first time? I could tell you where I was at. Specialette, I got it made. You was already out, right?

Nah. Ed came out before leaders. What? On God. And leaders came out before you? Yeah. Holy shit, I'm a baby. I swear to God, all of those shit was detrimental for me.

Told you, they leaders performed in Y-O at Commerce High School. And X opened up for him when X, X, this was just a Y-O-Let. So it was a great. But we didn't get to see him perform that much. So X opened up. I remember that show. Oh, that's crazy. Just another case of the PTA after.

Just another case of the pain off. He couldn't believe they was going to beat it. He was like, it wasn't no AI or the gram or none of that. But we thought it was like false word of the flyer was fit. Man, the new school's coming to Ohio. That shit was crazy. He ripped the pain off. PTA paint or.

I remember that I was in school, young Jada. It wasn't even Jada. I was Jason. That energy, a different type of, you know, that time, like I said, like I told you, I was trying to get on, giving niggas my demo. I think I gave my demo. I gave Flojo to Russell Simmons,

and how can I be down? You let the street to him? No, no. Yeah, he probably. He definitely ain't, listen. You know, I kidnapped Red Man one day, not literally. One day Red Man came to perform uptown, and I jumped in his truck. He was like, yo, he didn't even know who I was.

I was like, yo, check this out of me. I got my album, you're going to listen to this shit. You know, it's ill with that. That's how you had to do. That's what you had to. Today, all they got to do is hit Sin and send it to Egypt. You got to jump in Edmund's truck. You know what that is?

It's a different kind of dedication. You had to stand outside in front of Hot 97 and all it. You had to beg you. I got a better one for you. When I came out on relativity with Flojo, I told, I mean, it might have been the cheapest budget you ever seen in the history of mankind. I said, y'all, I want you to make these giant posters.

Giant posters. The original Flojo posters, the fat gangster, with some big black and white shit like this. So they made the posters, and I went everywhere with the Tats crew with glue, meagher. Every day we look like 9-11. Every night we hitting Queens, Brooklyn, brought up on our own posters.

We glue. This shit wasn't even like tape or nothing. It was glue all night. Then to go home in the morning to sleep, to make sure I'm at every train station at 2.30 when everybody got out of school giving niggas a thing going, y'all, I'm fat Joe, the gangster.

I was giving niggas hand-to-hand combat, 125th, Fordham Road. Yo, I'm fat Joe. You heard the song Flojo? On Picks 96, so it. Yo, this is me. Yo, so, niggit, like, this shit was real back in the day. This shit was like,

if you wasn't if you wasn't outside working working working working working working working working working working working it just wasn't happening I don't know too many somebody who just put one out the park like that with no work that we didn't see

Rob Base might be one of those now Rob Bates for them where he's from Lincoln Projects on 132nd but his first shit just rung off crazy he used to be at the Mike and Dave black parties on Park Avenue. Yeah, I knew of my

raw base. It takes two as his first thing. He just came out of nowhere to you. That's out of nowhere. Yeah, he smacked the fucking time. No, that's a super man. That's out of the park for life. He had a ball that they didn't have.

You know what happened to me, bus? They think I'm a liar. They think I'm a liar. They discredited me. I happen to work in the bodega across the street from Rob Bass's projects. So I seen them get in the first limo. I seen them with the Nike that the dancer. I seen all that shit as the fat Puerto Rican kid from the store across the street who make

the sandwiches. Him and Mitch Blood Green living in a private. Mixed blood green will come every day dust it and he bought 40 ounce. Like y'all, I'm going to fuck Mike Tyson up. I'm going to fuck nigga with the Jerry curl juice. Like, yeah, I, all right, by that. Come on, aye. Sure enough, he fought Mike Tyson, mids blood green. Went the other way.

Oh, no. At least he's the first, I think, to survive. It might not know. Mike Tyson was fucking niggas up in 10 seconds. He survived. They had a real fight at the time of there? Yeah. Before.

He was on all kind of drugs. They fought before that. And he went to distance. Yo, what's that shit? He ain't going to distance at that. Anker? What's that shit? Yo, what's that shit on the ship? A anchor?

Yeah. Nick of Mike Tyson was hitting that nigga with that anchor. He was on so much drugs. He wouldn't go down. Mike Tyson said, yo, that nigga just kept popping back up, pop it back. You couldn't stop him. Like, he was on big time drugs, is what I'm saying. For all the real ones out there, we keep in 1800.

So, you know, just saying the obvious shit, like, with B-I-G, you know, I know they say it all the time, but you went to school, the same school as B-I-G and J-Z. Irf-G-Rv-G-E-Z. No, Earth-G-G-Ref-G-E-N-Ref-G in that school?

Yeah, it was just me big and Hove. And a testament to what we all talking about with the work that had to get put in, because there wasn't on social media and there wasn't none of this other shit. you had to actually make sure that you was delivering on a pristine enough level for motherfuckers to feel like

they needed to be the first niggas to put other niggers on about you. So that word of mouth shit was that was the way to get the fucking bus popping. So me and Hove was rhyming in school. Big, I never saw big rhyme in school. Big. us a little weed

in there and there in school. But I never seen them rhyme at school. When I knew Big was rhyming was when we did bunch of niggas on Heavy D album. And Big was on that. And then Big jumped on

Cardi and bullshit. And I still didn't realize that was him. It was big from school. One day I'm going to get a fucking check from, what's that? Burr-Perdale. Fucking Pardell.

Burr-Padell. Going to get a check from Bert Padell. For some feature that I did. Bird Padell. Burt fucking Padell, right? Yeah. And Big was getting a check from over there, I think. I was going back to Brooklyn

and Big got in a whip with us and we dropped them off at his crib. And I thought this motherfucker was insane for this because Big had the double cassette. You remember them, JVC? double cassette big boxes and at that time it was the bootlegging shit happening

and he had a line from his block from Fulton to his crib like a drug spot. And he's giving his shit away, giving this shit away. And I'm sitting there watching him do this in amazement. And I almost just was trying to understand

what the fuck was you up to? What was he up to before I even asked him? They go big. I'm like, what you doing? What are you giving away your album for? For free, nigger? You ain't trying to make no money? And they can say, oh, bus,

I want the nigger that's not playing my shit to look like he fucking crazy for not playing. my shit. That was the most genius shit a motherfucker ever said to me, marketing and promoting his own shit. He like the shit going to get bootleg anyway.

So let me control the bootlegging. I don't even want no money because as long as every single person is playing my shit, the nigga that ain't playing it is going to look crazy, bus. I said, this is, this is it.

I never could bring myself to boot. lug at my own shit. Nah, I used to beat them off. I used to beat them all up. I mean, I went to the 1-25th. I tell a story all the time, but everybody don't got the story. I went over there,

Tupac was fucking up all the bootlegs. Pounding the biggest out. A nigger tried to fight him with a sword. He took it from him. Poor day life. I got the coat. Tupac's your court. My biggest song, why.

He goes, bah! The kid dives under the shit. I'm like, oh my God. Like, it was like one of the movie guns. The blanks.

the whole burn down the whole floor, you know, on purpose. The shit came out. He was burning. These guys were like, dead. These guys, I remember I went, oh, we was in the Mandrian Orients. I'm talking about spots where I was spending cash money.

Like, Manjian Oriental, when I lived in Miami, I booked that shit out for a month straight, this, this, that. One day I came there had my bags at the front. I said, you know what I happened? They used to park my Rose Royce in the front, Mr. Joe, this, because I'm generous. I like to give tips every day. I'm like to say, Mr. Joe, you can't.

can't come here no more. What happened? Your friend, Tony Sunshine, the man gave him a cold hamburger, you smack flames out the man all the way in the biggest office. They said, you can't be here no more. Maybe about 10 years later, I went to the man. He didn't oriented to thinking it was all. They was like, says here, you can't stay here. He was just in there. They took it off. They took it back. No, he took it off. I'm talking about 20-some years ago, but these guys was doing shit. fucking up places that I had to juice in. Like, I was like, oh no, you should.

Niggas had my bag's back for me. Like, no, sir, you can't come back in here. Like, you're going to jail if you walk in this building. How often do y'all practice? And because y'all got one of the illish setups, scratch the talk and tell you some shit. And the crowd can't, he can tell you a bus. We're about to go into the moon, right?

Y'all stage dynamics. it keeps getting better with age and time. Thank you, James. How, he's doing that shit. Oh, yeah, but if you watch

the show from the crowd, that nigga boss going to the crowd hip-hop observer, they all got a they all playing a part in it and it's the most

craziest shit I ever seen from the listening from this whole shit. And you got, y' got to be, I gotta huddle up a lot of times a week or a month

or, I got to be adding and doing shit. That ain't just, because you knew each other for all of them. Y' got some shit. Do you do that still, bus? You got to. Get together, practice, this or that?

Yeah, we do that when it's to study and learn the words to the new songs. Other than that, now. Because we've been doing certain shit for years. became muscle memory. Yeah, it definitely became muscle memory. But the ill shit is sometimes, too,

we might do some shit that we ain't realized. Mistake and it turned into... Yeah, because the cameraman is filming. Yeah. So when we get the shit back, it's like we look at shit and we catch, oh shit, we just did that. We ain't even look at each other

when we did that because it's like, we'll do shit because we know where the drop is going to happen in the record. We know the beat going to drop hit. We know that's the snare going to slap here. So after like nukes When you do the drops in the beat So we'll sometimes do shit

Just to amplify What's getting ready to happen This part of the song But if we don't plan what we're going to do The shit look dope Sometimes be a mistake Yeah the mistakes sometimes Or the moments you ain't think of

But they happen in sync That shit will definitely get added to the song I watch y'all be so disrespectful I watch Slift star do shit like Yeah Hey! hand. And I'm like,

yo, this thing is crazy, my nigga like, yo, I know when you're on one, you're always on one. But I see shit with the thing

doing the sideways hand. And then the music come down and you're like, yo let me say, you never argue with scratchy to her. You can't.

Now, we do it off state. You do it. No, I don't think you are. You argue. with Scratchett toward, you actually argue. We family, we brothers.

We're going, we're going... Every time I got a DJ like that where it went to the symmetric floater, you could talk to them through the cheekbone through anywhere that nigga drop that shit like this, they quit. Every DJ ever had like that... You talk through the cheekbones. Sick.

I try to let it talk through the cheekbones is a sick one, dog. Anytime I had a DJ, yeah, he had to have a self-inflicted. He had to have a self-inflicted flag. I remember my DJ, man, one of my favorite DJs involved with DJ Somatic. He lived in Atlanta. What's up, Somatic? God loves you. He told me he was going to the church.

Bless that man. That man might have broke my heart 40,000. We had that shit gumdrop. You can just look. We was like, oh, my God. that shit was so perfect. He would drop that. When we killed some shit in like South Africa,

Chris Brown, it was just disgusting. And the man come back, right when I said, oh my God, I got it. Quitting brother, going to church. Yeah, that's true. The woman wants me in church. Yo, you might as far as shop me, big. I'm like, sympathetic.

He's the church. I said, He said, God touched you? He said, God. I said, it's God. No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no. I had people I really was going to hurt on another level. And then they come and they go, hey, he got baptized. He's with God. And I'm like, he's with God.

And they were like, yeah, you know, the guy who got baptized. baptized. Now, when you find that chemistry, that shit is hard to replace that. Let him go. That chemistry is when you find that magic. Chemistry, that's what I'm trying to say.

Like, if I'm busting the wrongs, I'm never arguing with Scra. Yo, I ain't got nothing to say to that, man. Hell's crap. Even my DJ now. I love Stitt. He's a sentiment. It's been?

Oh, my God. You watch what you say. He might quit on stage. So we, I don't even play with him. I'm telling you. One day we're in the car. He's driving. And we're like,

yo, make a left, make a right. The nicket stops the car in the middle of the highway, 70 mile by, and the highway, niggins,

why don't want to you drive? I'm, no, I'm sorry. You're doing great. No. You want to drive? Niggas is,

yeah. I'm like, yo, he gets that. That man, sensitive. We're not barbering for nothing. Been getting away with anything in the world. Because we got that chemistry. Once you get that chemistry, you know, Spliff, he had a health scare.

What was that for you? Because, like, oh, my God, man. I don't even like to think that way. But it's like, like, split and scratch. Like them brothers is literally like Probably the longest consistent friendship in brotherhood

that I've had throughout my entire life So it's like When it comes to health issues It's super scary to fucking deal with Like the thought of that You know what I'm saying? Especially the type of shit That Spliff dealt with

You know what I'm saying? So it really helped you Like the shit you might have probably used to complain about a fucking shit that would get on your nerves and shit. You damn there, don't even give a fuck about none of that. And that same

energy get redirected into beefing over, making sure you're doing whatever you can to be as healthy as you could be, my nigga. Because obviously, God don't know, you know, almost another five seconds. Tomorrow ain't promised.

So niggas got a really, everybody got their short- But there got to be some prioritized fucking effort towards balancing out the bullshit and making sure that we're going to be here because we got a lot of shit left to do. Get Bell Pure Fiber Internet with Crave Netflix and Disney Plus

On the new podcast, Solita, We share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle.

I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, You smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind,

or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

That shit crazy. One quick question. The scenario video, who made up these ideas? Because y'all did shit 20 years ahead of time in this scenario video. Who came up with that concept and all that? Who was ahead of their time like that?

I don't know who came up with it. I do know that the director, I forget his name, Jim Swafield. That's the director He was ill with the idea of You know, like how There's a part in the video where it's like a computer screen And then it's like the cursor moves

And then you fall out of sync With the actual performance of the verse And it's intentionally done So that you don't say your shit on time And then you come back on time I think Jim Swafield came up with that But I know Q-Tip was very involved with

he's hands on with the micromanaging of all of the details when to come to creative shit with trial. So I got to contribute I got to acknowledge the tips involving some kind of significant. Man, I can't lie. That's how I feel how you whack. That's why I start laughing all the time.

Because say the beat is a no... But sororantica, it looks like you falling over. You come back. Five, right on the stairs. right on the stand. I'm like, holy shit. It's almost like you. The mouse went off the screen and came back.

That shit is crazy. Behind the bars is presented by Sprite. Right. We got this Sprite segment and this track is on the list. We were supposed to talk about it. Are you talking about put your hands with my husband? Yes. Just give us a little quick synopsis of like,

how that came about and the flow pat. All that to me was like, no, breath of fresh air. Like, I never heard this before. That's how I felt to me as a fan. What was it like creating that song? Before we rhymed on the beat, I was like this beat too quiet for me to be loud on it. It don't make sense to be loud on it because it was quiet.

And back then, it's reflected on some of the dudes that was stuck in time. A lot of the Caribbean dudes, the Jamaican dudes, the Trinidadian dudes, the guy these dudes and we're being Southeast D.C. and these places. We're still talking in their regular accent and just add yo to the end of the sentence

like that was camouflaged in their accent. By this time we're on, like this is way after that whole era, but they had this dude that was still stuck in that time. And he had money, but he always made himself look like he didn't have money. Yo, Buster.

Minoy, I don't know. money, you're just come back from TV as a big superstar. Now, I'm not $200 U.S. yo. Yeah, I'm hungry, yo. We need some money, yo. Give me some money, yo. So I just was kind of making a joke.

Mimicking him and that shit. Making a joke. This is a L story. Yo, this is crazy. Then you just said, I made, I was using, I was mimicking homie trying to be funny.

It was like we used to collect these these dance hall tapes and sound clashes. And you used like the same word down the whole verse to rhyme with. So I kind of just took that. All the little ingredients just made that. I had one verse

and waited for like a day or two and wrote the second verse. I was there for that. The way y'all was whaling up. Oh my God. They drove under the door. The car soul. You heard? They were like losing their mind. Nah, that changed life.

ever, man. You know, that song right there just changed life. And it's work. You set it off, but it's work for, like, loud artists. Somebody always tap them and be like, yo, why don't you do some of, quiet? Check out the full Sprite Living Track List and break down the stories behind your favorite bars.

The link is in our show notes. This is the Sprite Living Track List. Obey your thirst. But I'm going to tell you, it might not mean none to nobody else. but my favorite Buster Rhyme song, no matter what rhyme, no matter what you say,

it's crazy, you're not going to believe me. It's the baby if you give it to me. I'll give it to you. You know what you want? You know, I got it. It's such a perfect song. Thank you.

with his uptempo ramp is on it. What is... The hook is like... Damn, a... That was crazy. Flaving your ear remix. How you got... Rampage on that?

No. How did you do that? You finesse. I took the Puff because at them times I was the finish on every fucking record and put me last on every fucking record and I was starting

flip mode entertainment and I needed to get Rampage buzzing. So when I did the verse and I sent it to him I had put I had told Pup I said I got my cousin who won't get on this I need him to get on this I said just listen to this shit and see what you think

So when he heard Ramp verse, he was fucking with it, but this is how Pupp did me. He said, if you want your cousin on this shit, you got to do this shit for free because he got an invoice for me. You know what I'm saying?

So I'll be nigged on the invoice to give Ramp to look. Because I knew what this moment was. You can fucking L big, me, Craig, And Craig record was the most smoking shit at the time. Sure.

And it just was a perfect scenario to get ramped a springboard to jump. Who did the original, uh, the punk? Easy Mobee did that. You know what beat that is, right? What? Beat it. Dude, all the way slow down. Beated.

There's always something with an element of something. Oh, that's fuck out of it. Beat it, bus. Beat it. It's all the way. No. No. I only do my homework.

I can go research. No. Whatever you want. Just listen. Use your brain and listen to it. You're talking about the sample or you're talking about the way you're The sample. The sample is something I got the same shit.

I see an easy mo' P talking about. Yo, that's not, me. This thing can be. It's all of the. where he slowed down. Of a day, I get what you said. Choped up and slowed down.

It's not just slowed down. It's chopped up and it slowed down. Right. Shahim, you ain't know that. You know everything. He got one on you, huh? I do this shit. Did you know that who shot you

I said, who shot you is made by Nassau? I don't say nothing about I shot you. Who shot you? Steve Stout says. Sout didn't make the fucking beat. Nashim from the hitman made it. Can I tell you?

That's a fact. Steve Sout. Steve Sout. Who shot you? Trackmaster's made eyeshots. No, no. I don't stay by the sample. No.

No. No, all right. Breaking news. Who shot him? Can I say something? Go ahead. Can I say something? Steve Stout, now you're going to make me bring him here.

Steve Stout told me the trackmasters really made that beat and Puff ain't give them no credit. So they went to sample the same record and gave it the hell out. Pretty boy, you made. You can hate me that all type of niggies, made. I'm not saying that. I'm not. You know that?

I knew that. But if you start going into that way, you start going into that way. Okay. No, no, no. Wait, wait. Maybe all the world. Kevin,
