And this is the fucking number one show. And I'm not taking that away from nobody. What I'm saying is when I see that shit pop on the gram, I get excited.
Starting point is 00:12:36 When you talk about what's the best albums and what's the best collabs and what was the best features, how many Jada features they had. And then Jada, you know, throwing a tab and Joe telling an amazing story thinking they's cap. I'm like, they think that's cap? Now, I think they start to understand. Because you know you threw the flag on the last one. He threw myself like when I said I wanted to sign Joey Badass. When he was like, you see it in the interview?
Starting point is 00:13:01 Ladies and gentlemen, hold on, ladies and gentlemen. And then the did you all came out. Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to apologize. Okay, thank you. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:14:06 I know no no I know that but let me just tell you because you just said something before that you said family that's right in life I can speak for myself I dreamed
Starting point is 00:14:19 and it was a goal to have a family when you met me I was grinding for my family without a family meaning as in you know what I mean a sada and lime

Starting point is 00:15:02 that's all I got to tell you. What else you want me to tell you? See, I view everything as as inspiration. So when I see you from my island on plane, your own plane, this, that I look at everything as inspiration. They told me I couldn't fly so we can't go
Starting point is 00:15:18 with $6,500. they said I could never fly and I was scared to fly when Asai was born I flew immediately God said Calvin here's Assad you're fearless now Yo Joe

You know what I'm saying? And then when you're doing this show, I knew you would only do
Starting point is 00:23:17 the type of show like this if you was beside somebody that was one of the realest that ever did it. I'm just being honest. And that's what I said before this. I said, this is Joe and Jada. I knew that Jada don't like
Starting point is 00:23:32 kissing Joey Cracks. I knew that Jada don't like talking. Like, let's not play ourselves. I knew Jada don't like talking. I walked them into a room. The first day we shot, I see you, Jada. I don't know what your finances is.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Got a lot of money, though. I ain't going to lie. No, no, you got a lot of... No, no, you got a lot of... Listen, Jayda is a brown paper bag. You know, Jada is a brown paper bag legend. You're the don't king of brown paper bag. He's real.
Starting point is 00:24:03 You know how many people I know that brought brown paper bad to Jadicus? When you said how many feces he got, he had a smile because you know how many brown bags came through? Your crew laughing because you love a brown paper bag. But when we made the sole brown paper bag, I was disappointed myself and then put you on it. You know, I was been mad. That's one of the maddest moments. I feel like I was supposed to be on this show.
Starting point is 00:24:27 It was, though. Yeah, imagine him on brown paper bag. He would have went crazy. And I tell him I go like that. Yeah, he would have went crazy. Try to tell him like this and see you, Jada. I don't know what your finances are. I know you're doing great.

Starting point is 00:25:14 Everybody said, Joe, this podcast, chill, podcast. But I told Jada, yo, we got no choice. Let me think, Sunil. The reason why we love T&T is because Charles Barkley is a Hall of Fame. I'll go down your throat like Barclay. You got Shaquille O'Neal, most dominant player. In the NBA, you got Kenny Smith. The point is, people want people who really played the game.
Starting point is 00:25:44 from the bottom to the top that has seen everything and hip-hop across the world. And that's Joe Jeter. So when I got my man top five dead on lives. Real talk. And then you got Joe Crack, whatever that mean to you. Right? Together.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I knew all these guys was in trouble. Everybody's in trouble. You said it perfect. Because the authenticity is too real. It's like your friend. How are you going to out-talk us? Joe Crack, you said it perfect. Jada, that's what I was trying to tell you.

Starting point is 01:03:31 And I was like, I need to have a meeting with you. And one thing I love about Jigga, if he love you, the man is accessible. Minya's saying, like, as big as he is, 9 out of 10, if you got love and respect, you can have a meeting with him. Try to meet with him. And I remember, I was like, yo, I played him a bunch of beats. I was like, you know, I knew you on my album. And I played him shining instrumental.
Starting point is 01:03:59 I'm like, yo, I need you on this. And he was like this. I remember turning it down. I was like, yo, but I need you and I need the queen on this. He looked at me like, it was crazy. Not being honest. You want me lie to you? I can lie to you.
Starting point is 01:04:13 I know. So I was like, yo, I need the queen on this too. So when I'm leaving, he's like, you'll leave me the, it's too many great stories we'll hold. But that particular story, he's like, leave me with that joint. He didn't say he going to get the queen on it. He didn't say nothing.
Starting point is 01:04:28 That same day, I had to do something for ESPN. I think it was at the Barclays. And it was like, I did something like, you know what I'm saying, on stage, it was on TV, whatever that situation was at that time. And he was there and he had a, I think he was honoring LeBron or something. So we bump in each other again. And when I see him, he's like, yo, you know, I play. that for the queen you know me
Starting point is 01:04:55 I'm trying to keep it cool I'm trying to keep it cool so I'm like it's love you know I'm just keeping it cool so I'm legal I get to the car I'm telling him on my team like yo you're gonna say he played it for Beyonce
Starting point is 01:05:11 so later on hours after that the man Jigger sent me a picture of him in the jet like the sunrise through the Jack window. You know, me and B listening to this joint.
Starting point is 01:05:30 I'm looking at my text like, just look. You know that shit? When you look at your phone, you try to see somebody around? Yeah. Like, you're like, look. You're like, it's not. So, boom. Two days later, there's a rock nation brunch in LA. I think it might have been like the first one. If not the first, the second one.
Starting point is 01:05:51 So I walk in the brunch. you know, he just sent me that pit. You know, I can't, I ain't, I ain't got to do the consistency, you know, because I'm like, yo, let me not fuck this up. Let me breathe. Let it breathe. So I'm walking in the brunch. Shooter that I see hope.
Starting point is 01:06:10 He's like, yo, come to the crib after the Rock Nation brunch. I want you to hear something. And he told me, keep your head high through this whole brunch. Walk around here with your head eye. When we do lie to you? That's what the man told me. He said, walk around his brunch with your head lie. Oof.
Starting point is 01:06:32 I'm in a black leather. Walking around that motherfucker's so relaxed, so at ease. As soon as the brunch is over, I'm at his crib. And he play me shining. And God, it's great. And I started that record off and I said,
Starting point is 01:06:53 I've been working my whole life for this. That's how I started the record off. Go to Apple Music, Spotify right now, and listen to it. That's just one story. Don't forget, I got them on God did.
Starting point is 01:07:06 I got the keys, keys, keys, God did. Him and Nyes, sorry, no, sorry. You know, the God did. Wait, he wasn't even crazy on the God did. You know, it's crazy because I wanted to see Kiss on Yonkers
Starting point is 01:07:21 you know, God did just, the album just dropped that week. And I filmed the video with him that week. You know, because I went to New York for the promo, so I wanted to film the video with that week. The album was like two days old. And Kiss was on the block with his whole crew. And we had God did. Pete was there.
Starting point is 01:07:38 We had God their playing. And Kiss was reciting his bars. The whole verse, word for word. The whole block was. I have it on camera. Pull it up. Somebody, Jamie, sent him. Somebody go on my Instagram and find it.
Starting point is 01:07:51 It just came out The God did story I went to play in my whole album And I played him Drake No Secret That's how my album starts On God did So I play him No Secret and then it goes into God did
Starting point is 01:08:09 So when you heard no secret He was bobbing You know when the head started doing this And then boom God did came in And then when I came in I hit him with a talk. You know, that talk, you can't.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Yo, Joe, Jay, am I, did I hit him with a talk? I know. They don't believe in it. It breaks my heart. They don't believe in us. Great. You could be over there hating and being a fuck boy.
Starting point is 01:08:34 You could be over here in Miami grabbing a mango off the holy ground tree. They said you want to be a fuck boy. You could be over here embracing love, more love, more life, more blessings. So remember, he's hearing that. And then Rose come in. we like this
Starting point is 01:08:54 then the hook come in we like that's when the ace of spades started doing this type of shit another man started doing I'm not making this up I have this on film
Starting point is 01:09:07 I have this on pictures I have it we started doing this I ever got a I don't know I'm like that with the story then little Wayne come in
Starting point is 01:09:15 we're like by the time he already like this look then I left the open verse I might as well pop that bottle and I said this look look I kept doing this to him look by pointing him like that's you
Starting point is 01:09:32 you got that's where you come in so he like this I see him freestyle in his head he loving it but I continue I don't stop the music I continue playing in the album you got to pull that God big back again I was like looking at Jamie and everybody was like I'm in there like
Starting point is 01:09:56 look at the pictures go back to the Instagram I'm in there like this now look myself myself when he said bring it back now he's in there the man the man starts
Starting point is 01:10:08 flowing the first four bars of the verse then he tells Lenny S come here whispered in Lenny S's ears the problem is I'm right here so when you got his head
Starting point is 01:10:20 right here. I see what he's saying. He says tell guru set up studio. Something is going to get done that night. When I leave, he's like, you'll send me this song, this song, this song. He's somebody who's sending like five songs. So now
Starting point is 01:10:38 I'm confused. I send him five songs, but I'm happy. Did you know you're going to get something? Something happening. A few days later, he's like, yo, Calvin Lenny. Book Studio, blah, blah, blah. You know I replied so fast. Been done.
Starting point is 01:10:58 The whole time I'm like, please God tell me the studio is available because he picked a certain studio. I put Ben done. It was this New York studio. Yeah, it's New York. It's New York. Hours later. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Let me keep it more honest. The man texts and say, yo, book studio. Yo, Callin, book studio for this time. But I only have an hour because I got. to catch the helicopter to the Hamptons. No problem. And he's like on the group text, Lenny tell Guru,
Starting point is 01:11:29 make sure he's there. I hit Lenny aside. Whatever guru needs, we had to pick him up. Bring him there. You lie to you? Ask Lenny. It was like hours in that day, he FaceTimes me.
Starting point is 01:11:49 And he got the, the FaceTime to the speaker. And I hear the verse. The problem is after it went 12 bars, I heard 16. Then 24. The problem is I thought the phone was stuck. Because it kept going.
Starting point is 01:12:08 So I'm confused. I'm not crazy. Like 100 bar verse. So I'm not losing my mind on the FaceTime, but I'm also like, yo, tell Guru to send it so I can do my thing to it. So Google texts me, sends me the files immediately, and immediately I'm in the studio with my engineer one,
Starting point is 01:12:24 and I'm blending it, and I'm, like, making the focus in certain big drops. I'm going crazy. I'm changing the beat now. I got drops. I'm leveling out the vocals. Certain echoes got to breathe here. I'm in my mode. I sent a back to him right away.
Starting point is 01:12:42 God did. That was a God did moment, and I never get, because right after that, I think, like, two, three days. I did the drink champs interview. you. And I was just hit an all-time high with so much confidence before my album came out because I knew I had a whole verse
Starting point is 01:12:57 but not like a whole verse like something that I've been screaming out of the world saying they ain't believing as God did and I got Hove on a record called God did. And he starts off his verse and says, Hove did. Hove did. You understand what I'm trying to say you kiss
Starting point is 01:13:13 and crack? So you got to remember, y'all used to this type of shit. No, we ain't used to No, crack. You got to understand. I'm a fan of the... I want you to the Grammys with you with the bubble gum shit on you. So speaking of the Grammys...
Starting point is 01:13:25 Speaking of the Grammys... Yo, listen, guys, y'all got to give it up already. When you come to the fashion, you have been annihilated and destroyed on this show here. This is Cuban Kiss. He has the Guayavetta Louis Vuitton shit. And this is the brown, chocolate brown check with the fucking leather.
Starting point is 01:13:48 That's a different... kind of leather. Different leather. That's a... That's a... Different leather, right? Yeah, I got those, but I mean, I love it. You can't come with no bullshit You come to the holy...
Starting point is 01:13:59 Hey, yo, hey, yo, Cala, man. Holy crap. I'll stay shitting on these people over here, man. These guys are dizzy. We got them. Flabby and sick. They got to reinvent their whole podcast, whatever, because our shit...
Starting point is 01:14:15 We just are a storytelling selling. And man, we paint the pictures so clear. And I've seen them they start to adjust. Look, even you adjust so you get dated. Right? So there was the round phone that they made a cell phone. Then they made FaceTime. They had the big TV. Then they made the flat ass with the fat ass on it. And now there's a new podcast because the Joe or Jada. I'm almost over the rookie of the year. I'm almost ready. I'm almost ready. I want to say, Joe, we just don't episodes, we still ready.
Starting point is 01:14:50 No, I want to be real these dudes. I'm telling you, we better than everybody. I know, but I want to be real with you because I want you. I don't give a fuck. Kiss.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Kiss. Crack, crack, kiss. As much as they don't want us to win. That's a fact. As much as they don't want us to win. We can't, we got to be. Hold on, hold on. You got to be humble.
Starting point is 01:15:10 Yeah, no, as much as they don't want us to win. I want about shit, but we got to be. I want to remind both of all three of us and everybody that's why. As much as they don't want us to win, there's actually more that want us to win. You know, unfortunately, we get inspired by they don't want us to win. So that's why you hear crack passionately saying we the number one. And I'm telling you the number one because, again, we humble, but we confident and
Starting point is 01:15:46 if you're speaking authentic as Joe and Jada. You can't question that. Preserving the culture. You can't, this is the culture, but this is the culture. Don't let that go over here. Yeah, don't let it go over your head. For real. This is the culture.
Starting point is 01:16:05 Yeah, this is the culture, but this is for the culture. We think of taking the culture, man. What I'm saying is, but I want to remind us, because sometimes I have to remind myself. there's more love than this hate hate is just loud and annoying
Starting point is 01:16:23 but real hustlers true hustlers always big each other up you know that when you see another real hustler a real dawn you big each other up you never you taught me something that I never thought about it you gave me a point
Starting point is 01:16:41 in the map of the world the world's so big the world's so big and when they hate believe it or not it's this much out of the whole world
Starting point is 01:16:52 and I realized that in life throughout my career I was like yo the hate is small the hate is loud you know what I'm saying and the love is massive
Starting point is 01:17:03 and what I learned throughout my career you know when it comes down to hate me personally I don't speak for Catholic Catholic I don't deal with it
Starting point is 01:17:14 I'm too busy raising my kids feeding my family doing shit and working and I know people make up cliche my dreams
Starting point is 01:17:23 the goals and bringing it to life I'm busy no on everything I love I'm busy when I wake up in the morning I'm busy
Starting point is 01:17:34 I pray all day and I work and I'm an outwork everyone that's me I can't speak for everybody else. But when it come down
Starting point is 01:17:46 and love and hate, you're going to have love, without love, there's going to be hate. And without hate, there's going to be love. You know, it's in life, and life, it's like, it's like, balance. What do you do? Hold on, no, no. If you choose good or you choose evil, me personally, I choose
Starting point is 01:18:02 love and good. What do you do? What do you do? What do you do? I'm just not, I'm just not soft. I'm not going to blink. I'm not going to flinch. Yes. I have some brothers of mine that love me and they're the realest. You know, Joey Grapp, and I can speak a hundred other names. But just in my bloodline, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:18:25 I'm always going to be righteous, but I'm not soft. Because some people take righteousness for salt. I don't know why. And when they test me with the softness, I hit them with the righteousness. You know, listen, I look at pictures of us, right? Because you got a bunch in this house. We got a bunch of my house. And I'm not confused.
Starting point is 01:18:54 I know who I am. And so the people can say cap all they want. They never heard of Fat Joe getting played in their life. They never heard of one of their favorite rappers playing Fat Joe or playing with Fat Joe in their. They're like. But when I look at these bitches, I always, there's times
Starting point is 01:19:13 I ask God, I said, because this man is who he is. He's truly righteous. He's really about his family. He's about his community. He's about our love and peace. I hear this shit with no family.
Starting point is 01:19:26 But I've been like that from day one, though. I know that, Callie. Hold on Joe, you know that, but I don't let Jayde kiss. I know you speaking of them because everybody know me and you brothers. We blood. Listen, crap.

Starting point is 01:29:30 told me, yo, that verse, he said, like, it, it put tears in his eyes, saying that verse. You know what I'm saying? Like, because, you know, you know, how you say, some people think shit is cat? And some shit, you know, some shit is no cat. Play with me if you think. You know what I'm saying? Like, that mute, first of all, the music, the soulful, the feeling and the lyrics. But, you know, that song basically is saying love all, but trust few.
Starting point is 01:29:59 Right. You know what I was making a Lama God, the original name for a Lama God was two names before it became a Lama God. And I'd be careful with my titles because I lived my titles. So I had to be careful. At first it was called Love All Trust Few
Starting point is 01:30:14 and I was starting to make it the album and I was in a dark place. So all the records started sounding dark. So I snapped out quick. I'm like, yo, yeah, yeah, I only want two or three of those joints. So I changed the title quick. And I called it all-glories. the world's dark right now
Starting point is 01:30:32 so I end up calling it all glory to God and then my wife was like yo you made an album called Father Versaad you know you got to rap a llama like you bite and I had that album called Glory to God
Starting point is 01:30:44 and I was like you know what it's going to be called a llama God special kid alarm man so you understand you know what I'm saying if you think about you know if anybody want to take time
Starting point is 01:30:54 and look at the titles from the beginning of my albums to where I'm at now you look at my life at that time, you know, I lived that title. Let me ask you a question, right? Simple. Because somebody, you know, we brought up top five DJs, and I'm sorry because my brother is so wealthy.
Starting point is 01:31:19 You know, I can hire a DJs. Do I throw this now or no? You could throw it down. Call it throwing the flag. I don't know. When he starts saying sorry and shit like that, That's throwing the flag now? Yeah, Calais.
Starting point is 01:31:32 Should I throw it in Ella? What else? No, because. Your kids, that's what you do. I'm going to say something we usually don't do, talk beyond the scenes. But Callet tore my ear off because when I said top five DJs, he was like, yo, I'm a DJ, a real DJ that rip. And nobody knows more than me how much Callet rips down the show.
Starting point is 01:31:57 But he's so rich. Right? So I'm like a DJ, I can hire. I can't hire Callet. But I caught backlash from other DJs. They were like, no, Callan is a real DJ. You need to include them. Who's your top five DJs of all time?
Starting point is 01:32:15 Man. No politics. Wow. Who do you enjoy? I would say Kit Capri, Fonkmaster Flex, Clark Kent. And I had, and the reason why I said, first of all, those three are the, one of some of the greatest DJs,
Starting point is 01:32:35 but I have a personal, personal stories with all three of them, you know what I'm saying? Because I looked up to them as an idol, you know what I'm saying? So definitely Kid Capri, PhoneFlex, Car, Clint, have amazing stories with all of them. And then I would have to say, Premier. And I would have to say, it's crazy because. It was like, I want to throw like a certain mixtape DJ out there. It was so many at that time that I love. So it was like S&S, Clue, and it was like Ron G, doo-Wop.
Starting point is 01:33:12 And it was like, but I just remember like S&S premiering ony, this is the way we walk a new dog. You know me that on anx song? Wow. I remember him premiering that on a tape. Onix changed my life. That particular song, if you go back to that tape the way he premiered that, And his voice, so, like, S&S started turning into, like, the street.
Starting point is 01:33:34 You know, that's when there's, when Jigga and Pock and Biggie started coming, so the music and DJ started changing, and you started seeing the street come out of it. You know, you had your boom bap and you had your, before I let go, and then you, then top billing and the Arabiever president. But then when S&S came, he started coming with, like, this is the way we walk in New York. You know, like, you know, this shit started getting gangster.
Starting point is 01:34:03 You know, am I, in my life? Yes, I've exchanged my whole career. So that last one is so many, I don't have, I can't particular name it, but there's so many. Because even like the double R mix tape with the blends. Remember that? Chief O the pro, double R. Remember that tape?
Starting point is 01:34:20 Ted Smoo's brothers. Ted Smooke. Remember all those tapes. Those are, that, they, they have something going. That G-mo, the bro double-all? That was great. Rest of peace, my brother, my brother. But then you had like a gym master Jay that was so legendary.
Starting point is 01:34:35 Then you had a DJ Scratch. So the fifth one is always fucked up for me. Because you had a scratch that was cutting hoo-ha, public enemy, on EPMD records. You know, shit that I'm like, what the fuck, right? You know, it's so many. Then you had Terminator X on Rebel as a pause. You know, seeing that it's so. much shit. So that fifth one is
Starting point is 01:34:57 tough for me because it's just like, you know, I really love it. But you know, Joe, I notice you tell a lot of stories, but you don't tell them some of them, DJ Cattle's story of Cattle coming up in the club and demolishing the fucking place. Listen, I know that I used to fight BMF
Starting point is 01:35:13 in Miami trying to get in your club. We used to be online trying to bum rush because there was this club out here. What was the club? Amnisha. I mean, we had Amiens. It was a club that was outdoor and then you had the room.
Starting point is 01:35:28 And we had club craved that got crazy too. Yeah, I know, but you had that reason. You had a room in there. Yeah, that was at 3 in the morning. When I played Young Cheezy, I'm one of the first to play Young Jeasy. That's Jeasy. I never forget the OPMet Tenga and you should lock the whole club down and Young Jeasy before he was Young Jeasy. And Fab was in the club with him.
Starting point is 01:35:55 and Meach and everybody in the club, the whole place, I'll never forget because my room was like, you're going to pay a lot of money to get in that room. And I remember. So let's explain that. It was a big club and Calais had a room. Everybody knew at two in the morning, go to Callag's room.
Starting point is 01:36:13 He's going to start DJing. At that point, remember Wolfrest and Peace, everybody you know from everywhere in America was trying to get in that room. and it was B.MF at the prime. I never forget to play it. Hustling, hustling, hustling for one hour straight. They was begging on that wall.
Starting point is 01:36:36 Kiss, what did you say? Banging hours. I play hustling hours on the radio and hustling hours in the club for hours, one record that Rick Ross Hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling. I never forget, but I remember GZ and the whole BMF being in the club Preveit, and they hand me a vinyl, a white label, and it was Jeezy. I don't know who Jee was at that time. But I think Fav was there, and it was like, meet whoever.
Starting point is 01:37:06 These are my people's. They always show me love, and they supported all my parties. And they're like, yo, I want you to play this vinyl. You know, this is when vinyl. Without a question, these people always show me love. They come to all my parties. I'm not even, I don't listen to it. I went
Starting point is 01:37:22 shrew it on. When I tell you, the whole place exploded. Off one play. Off one, the first 10 seconds of the record, the place exploded. I played a cheesy ride.
Starting point is 01:37:38 Exploded. And then Jeezie came to the DJ boot, showing me love. And he grabbed the mic and he jumped on top of the bar, the bar, and started performing that shit. And Fab started performing.
Starting point is 01:37:51 And, you know, Ever since that day, me and Gigi had a relationship. But it's just, you know, back in them days, you know, we ain't had the Instagram and Twitter and all that shit. So it was about you go in city to city, but it was also about building your relationship. Building a relationship, but making these moments that people would never forget.
Starting point is 01:38:15 You know what I'm saying? That's what hip-hop is about. You know, I remember being a club, Puerto Rican parade, Puerto Rican parade in New York City. Joe took me there. I don't know what club it was, but the VIP was glass. They had like a glass, all glass.
