Both of y'all been there for me from day one.
I appreciate y'all.
Joey Crack, you already know it's different.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Please, let me.
This is Joe and Jada.
It's different.
I love you, brother.
I love you to the highest, too.
But I want to get to ask you, can I ask you a question?
Maybe one or two.
You've been in many rat beefs.
You was in Fat Joe 50 cent beef.
Yes.
Jada Beanie, you put them together.
I'm the first one to put Jada and Beanie on a record.
When Beanie came out of jail, I had Jada and Beans on a record and talking like a different type of talk.
I'm the one that was behind the scenes when Ross and Young Cheezy was going at it.
Because Ross, my brother, you know that.
Everybody know that.
but I got love for Gizi
that's my brother too
a real one like me
going to always say
we got to come together
we got to stick together
we can never let nobody
divide and conquerors
I'm the one
that help
put that back together
Joe and Joe I mean
Ross and Gizi
Ask Jeezy
and ask Ross
Don't ask me
Let me ask you a question
With all this beef
going on that was
I survived the fat Joe
50 cent beef
That's a big beef.
Listen, Ross 50 cent when they're going at it.
Fat Joe and 50 cent going at it.
All that.
But Joe, we're going to keep a real?
I'm the one out of the crew that always says,
yo, we don't need that.
We need to come together.
We don't need that.
We need love.
We need positivity.
And at the same time, it's not as that.
We don't want to slow up the money.
No.
But did you try that with this nuclear bomb that went on?
We're like, because I know the Sixth God was always your brother.
He supported.
I love Drake.
Ross is your day one.
I love Roth.
I love, true.
What does that feel like when the whole world's fighting each other?
What it feel like is that I didn't get in that energy.
There's two energies I'm not going to get in.
Hate?
Ask me a question.
How do you deal with hate?
Please, can you ask me?
How do you deal with hate, brother?
I don't.
And then when you speak about all those great legends,
that you just talked about from Drake
my brother future Drake
who else you name? Ross
Ross those are my brothers
if you question you can't question my friendship
how it's impossible
ain't nobody like motherfucking DJ
Caglet Joe you know that
Joe you know take your glasses off
let them see you know that
I super know that okay so I'm no no no what I'm saying is
when it come to me
not only I'm going to tell my brothers
we got to represent love.
Even when shit gets,
a lot of this shit is a misunderstanding
and a lot of not communication.
Okay?
And that's what it be about
lack of communication
and misunderstanding.
When it comes down to DJ Cal,
I'm the one that's going to try to fix it.
I don't want no trophy.
I don't want no promotion.
I do a lot of shit behind the scenes.
At the end of the day,
I love my brothers.
And my brothers know that.
I guarantee you they know
that. That's what I'm about.
So you couldn't squash this one?
I would love to squash it.
So it's still up in the air?
First of why, I don't use the word could.
Everything's possible with God.
Okay?
And I believe in God and I roll with God.
They ain't believing as God did.
And be ready for a Lama God.
And that's the world of God.
So this is the world of God.
Guess what?
Oh, matter of fact, thank you guys for coming to the Holy Ground.
This is the Cal of Residence, the Holy Ground.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what it's about.
Yo, Joe, take it how you want to take it.
I'm about unity, peace, love.
And when it comes down to music, Jada, I'm a collaborator.
That's what I do.
I don't rap.
Now, if I rap, it'd be a fucking problem.
Because ain't nobody going outwork me.
Jada, write all my rhymes.
I start tomorrow.
I show them how to do this shit.
because I ain't going to stop.
I'm just being honest.
No, I know that.
But there was a lemon on the top floor.
Where did you think I'm a hot foe?
Every summer drop more.
It's to make my stocks go.
What?
The bands go.
See, don't fucking play for me.
Nothing can stop me, y'all.
All the way up.
You know what I'm saying?
If you want me to stop this interview, I stop it right now.
No, no.
She can't stop this.
No, you keep all this shit.
No, this is out.
I'm just letting you know.
Nobody's stopping.
Listen.
Yo.
I didn't say edit nothing.
I just said, Jamie,
if you want me to stop,
you let me know.
Because you got to keep going.
Callah, keep going.
Yo, listen, Callah, this is what I'm saying, right?
It's the number one show.
I've been waiting for the show.
You know, I've been with,
nobody, not just to get on it,
Pete, I've been waiting for this show,
meaning as in before it existed.
You're not getting what I'm saying.
Like Justin Bieber said,
this ain't clocking to you?
You think I'm just bigging you up because we got cameras here?
I'm bigging you up because I love y'all.
Y'all deserve it.
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.
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?
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.
He really was going to sign Joey badass.
I got several DMs of static, smoke dizzy, kiss him.
That ain't no cap.
We got to apologize.
I got to apologize.
Thank you, my brother.
Thank you, my brother.
That's real.
That's wrong.
Cali.
God bless you.
Thank you, brother.
God bless your family.
Thank you.
You live a life that many would dream of living.
How do you keep touch with reality?
Because you got to understand the viewers and the people why I have the answer for you.
God is reality.
that's the problem
everybody's trying to
talk about what's reality
keeping it God
keep it God
I understand that
no no no no
overstand that
that's the reality
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
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
and my wife
that's how focused I was
when you met me
you know that
you know when they say
yo you got to work
that's my favorite thing
is to outwork
everyone
so my
job is to protect my kids
and my wife.
That's my job.
And that's the job.
And that's my life.
So when you ask me a question like that,
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
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
This is Joe and Jada
I've been waiting for this
I've been watching you give back
to everybody
Not taking credit for it
but just giving back
giving back to all communities
and everything
How important is it
for you to give
back to the people
because I'm sure
you can't walk to show.
Ever since I knew what life was,
I've been giving back.
When I was broke,
I was giving back.
And I'm always going to give back.
We've been giving back from day one.
That's what we do.
If you see it, man, bless up.
If you don't,
bless up.
Through my blessings and more success,
we started a foundation.

Because the fans, not only do they got love and they show us love and they do so much
beautiful things by supporting our music and our brands, but there's so much shit
going on that if the shit ain't potent, that shit lasts for a day or two.
So it's back to the basics.
So now the fans got to see you work.

incident. Joe, I sent that to the team.
The African coofy talking about, yo, nine-night-nine.
Joe, I sent that to the team. She said, how much you want me
to go back to the streets? I'm on 125. Yeah, yeah.

was so excited.
First of all, shout of the Cardi B.

I got camera on here on my talk forever.
When you came on the show and said
When Jada came on the show
If I'm not mistaken, I don't know word for word
But this is how I know the show is super different and real
You said
Ain't nobody talking about style speak
Oh yeah
No, when you laid the law down before the show started
As Joe, I told him that
I said I love it

You never see it.
You never see it.
No, I can't take it.
Now, the man's so professional with it.
Well, listen.
That was unbelievable.
Because...
Go ahead. I'm sorry, Joe.
Because nowadays, there's so much fuckery going on.
Yes, it is.
In this world, not just this.
industry that when you see people keep
it real with each other, you
can't believe it. And all they
doing is being men, real
woman. If you stay
solid and you represent your brother,
they look at it like, what? It's a miracle
that you guys
keep it real with each other.
Why has that been a race?
You know, we're going through some
shit in this world. You know,
there's Joe and Jada. No,

kissing fat Joe, Joey.

All right.
Don't get it.
Listen, guys.
Guys, wake up.
You know what I say
authentic and you know
everybody want to keep a real
and everybody know
the real this and that?
Just shade a kiss and Joey crack.
Yeah, I try to tell them.
Guys, this ain't just a show.
Yo, like, this ain't just
records.
These guys have unbelievable
legendary history
that we love and respect.
You know what I told, Jada?
People are thanking me so much every day.
Because this guy has been their favorite rapper.
They never heard him talk.
They're like, I can't believe this guy talks.
Yo, listen.
No, your fans never knew your true person.
They knew your music.
They never seen you talk.
They come up to me every day, yo.
He's so funny.
He's this.
He's that.
Thank you for making him talk.
Yo, Joe, I agree with you.
Jay, listen, he's not lying.
I know you.
You're my brother.
You always put a smile on my face to make me laugh.
When I come to a yon, because you make me feel like I'm at home.
When we recall records, there's so many legendary stories I have with you.
And out of all those stories, you always kept it so 100 and so real.
Trust me, there's not many like you.
You know what I'm saying?
And then when you're doing this show,
I knew you would only do
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm doing great.
Yes, you are.
have an opportunity
in this show right here
to get the super
bag. And that means
it's going to get
uncomfortable sometimes. It's going to get
whatever. But we got to
stand our ground
and we got to go all out.
We can't play. You know, I started
it off. The first I came out.
Boop, boom. The J.B. seats. The distance.
I started shooting at everybody to see
who wanted the drama right quick.
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.
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.
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.
And that's why this show is special because not just me, but I could speak.
I would think I could speak for a lot of us.
We've been waiting for this.
We've been waiting for this show.

I'm Hunter, host of Hunting for Answers on the Black Effect Podcast Network.
Join me every weekday as I share bite-sized stories of missing and murdered black women and girls in America.
There are several ways we can all do better at protecting black women.
My contribution is shining a light on our missing sisters
and amplifying their disregarded stories.
Stories like Tamika Anderson.
As she drove toward Galvez, she was in contact with several people,
talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have been a routine transaction.
But Tamika never bought the car, and she never returned home that day.
One podcast, one mission, save our girls.
Join the search as we explore the chilling cases of missing and murdered black women and girls.

What about DJ Callet? What could he do now?
You're filthy rich.
You hop, skip, in the jump, every country.
if you go to a bad funny show
you're on stage with him
you crowd surf in the fucking football game
what else could you do now
what are you trying to prove
what else can you do
to add on to the world
because you've done so much
Joe crack I'm not trying to prove nothing
my only competition is me
I'm working on the 14th album
Alama God
some people can't make it past their first album
to have a career
now only do I
love music.
I remember coming as a kid,
I had to be at least seven,
eight years old when I fell in love
with music. Around
10 and 11, I had to know like, yo,
this shit is serious.
12, 13, I said, this is my life.
So hip-hop, my life.
And it changed
my life. And it's done so much for my
life. But also, throughout
my career, I knew I was going to be
an entrepreneur. I knew. I
knew I was going to make music.
I knew I would be a DJ.
I knew I would be a producer.
I knew I would be an artist.
I knew I would be a music exec.
I knew that I was one day going to be a part of music history.
That's right.
I don't know how.
What I was going to do as far as like, you know, when the albums came, I remember
dropping the first album, Joe, I came to you.
You know, we had many talks on a swimming pool.
I think I was convincing you about put M&M on lean back.
I was telling him like,
I told him put Eminem on lean back
and he was like, yo, Cal, we can't.
I'm like, I thought we couldn't get him.
I was like, yo, I'm like,
what the fuck he's talking about?
This Joey crack.
That's when I really knew
the power of Calut.
So Calut's relentless, determined.
I mean, I heard stories
of you getting guys on records
where you climbed over their
mansion gates.
Yes, facts.
One of the most consistent,
relentless
Yes
Knock down your door
Knob
Yes
But he needs his verse
Yo listen
He'll come out in the mud
But kiss
Hold on kiss
He comes out of the center
Rated
He goes
Beyond
But Joe
Hold on
I'm glad he said that
Because first of all
That's facts
Hold on
I'm always here for you Cal
No no no
The reason why I'm saying that
Is because
Even when it's not my record
Remember, I ain't on a lot of my brother Ross's albums with him and pooch.
And I remember how to get Jay to kiss on Maybach music.
Yeah, one of the Maybachs.
One of the Maybach's part.
And Ross, like, yo, we need kiss on there.
I was like, yo, we reached out a kiss, kiss automatically that, yo, I got you.
I'm in New York City.
The problem is we got to turn in the album.
I called them.
We got to turn in the album the next day.
I'm lighting up
Kiss's phone like no other
people around them
Nobody can get Jayda Kiss same day
Listen
Listen
Get down on me
Not just
Jada Kiss
Everybody
Finally I got the message
To kiss
He's like you'll come to Yonkers
A studio
Kiss did I show up
Pulled up the D block
Pulled up a D block
Played the record
Kiss
You know what he'd do
Light one up
Let that music play.
That's how you did it?
No, no, I'm just telling you the truth.
I can make it up if you want me to make it up.
80 first I got from JD because I had to chase him.
Oh, no, no.
Lying again, y'all.
Listen, listen.
And the man not only delivered.
Not like he got to give him a Rolex.
He's lying.
The man not only delivered.
I left the studio, went to the mastering studio,
mastered the album, and the rest was history.
You know, Jay the Kiss
You know, anytime I call him for a
Callad album, not only just he blessed the album
He always, always, always, always, always,
always, always got me
And I'm forever grateful for that, brother, forever.
You know what it is.
Cali pulled up to the block, man.
Calid, pistol, the whole crew.
Oh, they're going to fill up.
Middle with the street.
Opt on dirt bikes.
I missed that one.
Who was selling you to come?
Yeah.
He was like the superhero.
He made people's lives that
when I see them to this day,
they're like,
thanking for bringing DJ Callie to the block.
Nah, I loved that.
That's so much fun.
I forgot we was, you know, shooting a video.
Well, shit was so much fun.
And with that Walburne.
Not even if it's sad,
Jeter Kiss blessed me,
my albums, I reached out a kiss one time
that blessed me for my Jordan's commercial.
Oh, shit.
You know what, I'm saying?
Yeah, he blessed me with that.
You know what, Joe, man?
Like being on this show, you know what,
I'm saying, y'all two brothers, I can,

Especially about y'all, you're two hip-hop kings,
two hip-hop legends.
And not only go, I love you, everybody love you.

But you know, the best thing I ever did for my blessings,
the best things ever did for my blessing.
How sad is it that our success?
There's people out there that are really upset
that we worked hard and God blessed us to be successful.
Does that ever bother you?
Because it does bother me.
I tell you what, it doesn't bother me.
That I take care of my mother or father,
my wife and my kids.
and if my brothers that I love that's with me forever
I'm right here
that don't bother me
and that's what it's about
you know what I'm saying it's not about how much you make

They call us Miami Dolphin.
Yo, kiss.
You think, yo, kiss, that's one thing.
They take my kindness for weakness.
Because you know I'm kind.
And kiss, you know I got love.
But a lot of people take our kindness for weakness.
You can, listen.
I want you to take it for greatness.
I want you to take it for motivation.
I want you to take it for him.
inspiration. I want you to take it so you know you could do it. I've heard Joe say it. I heard
many of the great say it. And I'm a say it. Every time I've seen somebody win, real hustlers respect
real hustlers and they show love to other hustlers. And they let them know it's possible.
Remember, I was the kid in the backseat of a Joe Crack, Escalade, Yukon, a Benz and an MPV. I think I named
all your whips.
Yeah, you did.
Yeah, you did.
So I just want you to know.
You was there when I gave him to sponge.
So to see my brother not only be
an icon, fat Joe, and big pun.
I was there with Big Pun.
I was there with Big Pun Rose recorded Still Not a Player.
I'll tell you a story.
The man recorded Still Not a Player.
Me and Joe Crack came to the studio.
And Big Pun, Joe Crack was like,
Yo, we got to go to the studio.
I'm in New York visiting.
Joe. I was staying in Brownsville. God bless my man
passed away. Bugsy.
God bless him. And Joe's like, yo, I'm going to pick you up.
I'm like, I gave him the address. I'm in Brownsville. He's like,
what are you doing in Brownsville? So I ended up meeting him in the city
and we go to the city to meet Big Punt.
He come in the studio, Big Punt sitting on a chair like this.
You know, in the studio like the lounge. And he got little
nickel bags all over the table.
and he roaring up a blunt
Joe crap walking the studio
You know he's Joe Crack at dawn
At that time
No, still the dawn
But I love his growth
You got to
You got a always bigger man
For his growth
Because at that time
It was like John Gotti
Mm-hmm
The man walking in the studio
He's blowing a big check
Gives him a check
A check
And then says
see the Lexis outside
is George.
Am I lying?
Right, man.
He recorded still not a player
but didn't record the final version.
Steve Rifkin and everybody for the label
kept calling Joe and pun, like, yo, what's up
when we get this record, when we get a single one?
What's the original one or the rematch?
The remix.
Remix.
Remix, remit.
I'm glad you said that, the remix.
And pun went in the booth
and freestyle just talking mad,
craziness.
You know, the label this and this and that and this and that.
They're trying to this and that.
The man did like a freestyle.
Just to like, at that time, people wanted to know if you was working.
They're paying for studio time and all that.
And who produced the record was, um, I forgot the name of the producer, but big him up.
I remember, you know, the record didn't mean, Minnesota.
But I just loved it because I got to see.
Many did the original.
Many did the original.
I got to see pun in his rare form.
And I never forget because that's one of the, what was the beat that Clue had that
didn't come out that was just so
it was a beat
that Clue had
they gave you that day
y'all pun heard it and he whipped it
down
you know you people can't
see this house right
but this is
fucking
glory
we in like Frank Sinatra's
house or some shit
whatever Jackie Gleas
whoever the motherfuckers
ran Miami
we're in Emilio
Stefan's house here
and so
So many times I came over here to see Callet
and Callet be like this.
He looked at me, he goes, no, no, I swear to God.
He says, I'm proud of you.
You fat, Joe, you're doing big things
or nothing like you walking in with big punt.
Yeah.
Break that down for us because he told me this
And I'd be like, yo, Pum, I mean, like,
Calais, what you want me to do?
He'd be like, yo, you and Pund?
No, no, not.
You see me in Punt.
You've seen that.
Kiss, you're part of that era.
You've seen the Joe and Pund era.
And I just remember, remember, I'm the kid in the back seat.
You know, Joe love me so much.
He really had a hundred.
You know, I always say 100 guys with him.
I know you want to throw the towel and all that.
25.
Okay, listen, if it ain't 100, it got to be 75.
35 super snipers
I'm going to be real with you
It was special bro
Definitely
Okay I can tell you that
What I'm saying is Joe and Pine
I'm so blessed in my career
To see that
To witness the birth
I remember Joe telling me
He played me the twins
He played me twins
We was in the Lexus
In front of Fifth Avenue
In South Beach
In front of club cream
and he played me twins
and he's like
you're this for a mixtape
that in the middle
I couldn't believe
he told me
that's how focused I was
back in them days
the mixtape was
the hottest shit in the world
Yeah that was the shit
I was telling him
I can't believe
you're saying this is for a mixtape
I said this is the one
that's how focused I was
and by the way
mixtape was the one
but I'm just trying to show you
how I was thinking
how your brain was progressed
Joe not only had
you know blessed me to have a relation with pun
but pun used to come to Miami
he came to Miami he went to
God bless him man
Homer drive down to Miami
He came to Miami in a van
He had to play him as music
No man he was on promo
To all together
His first album and my first hour
We did
We went all over the world together
We did King's Dominion together
We did man we was on mad flights
They got a little old.
Kiss, the man, Pund came down to Miami to play me the album,
and I'm going to tell you the story.
He said, Cal to meet me at Wet Willis.
We go to Wet Willys.
I jump in the van.
You know, Wet Willys at that time was shit.
The man popped the doors open.
There was a band.
It's me and it's pun.
And the man had a big T.S. chain like this.
Big, the big.
Hold on.
He plays.
me the battle with Jada kiss and big pun.
No, no, look, look.
On everything I love.
He plays me the front of people
that battle kids with Jada and pun.
He plays me that whole album.
And I'm listening to that shit.
Who thought of that?
You and pun acting like y'all was battling on a record.
No, he played me that.
I don't know.
I don't know of him, Greenlandt, somebody.
He played me that.
No, I'm glad.
You were telling me, not because Jay is, on everything I love.
For years, he kept telling me, because as far as I know, there is no more big pun music.
As far as Joe Kraft knows, there is no more big pun music, like new verses, shit like that.
And he kept telling me, yeah, so there's a joint, Jada and fucking.
Pun, pun played it for me.
It never came out.
Jayda, I'm telling you.
Come get it.
On everything I love, he played it for me.
Hold on.
You know, I never forget.
I drove from Miami.
This was when I was doing the Luke show on 99 Jams.
And every Friday we would do a world premiere.
I remember world premiere, like, everything that was hot.
Before it was hot.
And I drove all the way from Miami, New York.
York and I went to Pund's house
he had his house and he
I gotta keep it real with you
I don't know why y'all think Joe Caput
the man Punt had a hundred people
around his house
and like at least 50 people
in his house he was going to jail
for thousands of years he didn't die
I went there listen I went in the house
and I'm trying to find
the dat I'm trying to find
the dat I had
I had Punt
freestyle over Biggie
victory
from top to bottom
when he got done
freestyling
with all due respect
God bless my brother
when the beat shut off
the man took a nap
I never seen
nothing like it in my life
he just got done ripping it down
legendary
and when the beat faded out
he took a nap
no you got to understand
I'm seen in the liberal
I'm like, no, he's getting busy.
So after you wake up and we chill and we're talking,
first of all, I couldn't believe I was in Pund's house.
I never forget it.
A brother Nasty, he has the dad
because I give him all my dads back in the days.
We're trying to find it.
I had him run from the beginning of victory
to end of victory.
Imagine how that she sounded.
Be pun.
How could you lose it?
I'm not saying it's lost.
I'm saying my brother Nassie being lazy
because he got everything.
That man right there,
if there's a buffet, he's showing up.
That's my brother.
Now, Nasty, you know,
Nancy's a great guy.
You know, when I met Callet,
Jamie, you love this shit, right?
I met Callet.
What was it?
New music seminar, rest of peace,
Clark Kent.
Clark Kent had a battle.
Clark can had a battle
and music seminar.
What's my man that won the freestyle battle
in the New Music Seminar?
With a drag.
Your man loved him.
Um,
Supernatural.
Supernatural.
Supernatural won the freestyle battle.
Clark Kent had a DJ battle.
I met Joey Crack in front of New Music Seminar outside.
I had a, the Flojo album.
Uh, final.
Binal.
You know, Joey Crack at that time, even if he was happy,
he had a grill like this.
So you didn't understand if he was,
if he's going to hurt you or if he's just being like,
so when I met him, he's like,
yo, how you got that vinyl?
Because I wasn't out yet.
And I was, I ain't going to lie.
I was scared shitness.
I can't lie.
I was like, yo, this is a promo.
You don't know what I got to connect.
I didn't want to reveal the connect.
But since, you know, it's all love now,
meaning as they, you know, it was hip-hop.
What was his name?
It was Rock Asole.
Oh, God.
The Rocker Soul gave it to me.
It was, they always held certain promos for me when I come in town.
Like, you know what I mean?
I always kept, I always keep my relationships at a high key.
So even I wasn't from New York when I come to Rocker Soul,
they always had my, my shit on the side.
And it was a Joey Crack album.
He's like, yo, how you got that?
You know, I'm not trying to tell on the TV.
It's around the time we used to beat up the bootlegs and all that.
Yeah, so, you know, it was a sticky time, bootlegging and all that.
And, you know, I was like, you're a fan, boom, boom, boom.
And we built a relationship from that day on.
And I'll never forget he came to Orlando with pun.
And they had like a red beat.
Matter of fact, this will be, those pictures that you posted up with the red BMW, the convertible.
Yeah.
That is, I met Joey Crack months before that.
And he came to Orlando and there was a show with Shack.
and Nas.
They got pictures of that.
You know, when they talk about that thing,
I always comment on the comments.
I was there.
Ain't that crazy now?
Now shit come up and you got to say,
yo, I was there.
You got to remember, I was a kid.
I was a baby,
but I was embracing this greatness.
I got to see Bismarkey,
Joey Crack and Big Pun and all these greats.
Remember, I'm a little kid just in love with hip-hop.
I was DJing clubs and halls
before I was.
Able to dry.
All right.
You know, I was passing out flyers at 12 years old
to parties I wanted you to come out to.
I'm not making it suck.

What does Alam of God mean?
Alam in Arabic means world.
Elam means world.
World of God.
This is world of God.
The reason why I named my album a Lama God, not only is my son named a Lama of God.
You know, I thought about it coming off of God did.
I said, man, you know what?
I had to remind people not only they didn't believe in us that God did.
And I felt like when I said that it resonated with the world and they oversteal what I was saying.
That's why that song was so impactful.
And the album was impactful.
five nominations
on the Grammys
we ain't win one
but we won in real life
and God willing
we will win one
top five moments
you know I was there
when we was in Noble
and we heard a little beat
you recorded it
and the next thing I knew
two days later
you had Beyonce singing that shit
yeah
top five moments that blew your mind
that you
maybe it was easy
coming in here
what's your top five moments
that blew your mind
and you was like
Is this happening?
What are he talking about right there?
Recorded something.
Well, it was actually Zuma,
Ashad de Noba.
Because Nobles, I love Noba.
I got the Nobo with sushi sneakers.
It was Zoom, huh?
It was Zuma, and I heard this record playing
was in the private room.
And I was like, this shit crazy.
So I shazambed it.
I'm there with you.
Yeah, he was with me.
A shazambit.
And the next day, I went home,
looped it up, got with the team,
and we made Shining.
Shining, Shining.
I presented to Joe.
Jay Z and Beyonce, and I'll never forget because I went to see Jay Z
and I brought my own speaker to him.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
I'm too busy
raising my kids
feeding my family
doing shit
and working
and I know people make up
cliche
my dreams
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
I love you.
you, I thank you. Thank you for believing me. Thank you for me telling you. You gave me
my first record deal. Thank you. Hold on, Joe. If I need a loan, it's too much you've done for me.
Answer the question. If I need a loan, can I come to you one day?
Shit, really, you know, it's a recession. But I got you.
The recession is in my, oh. That's the bullshit. No, Rich, it's a recession. You know,
no, no, somebody asked me the other day for a little bag because I said him half the bag because it's a
No, man, I'm there.
I'm there.
You know, we honest.
Listen.
Dude, that's the gas.
Listen, but kiss.
Kiss.
Jet future.
Trade a kiss.
Brother.

you know I cried tears when I heard that record
I cried tears
when I heard that redden
when I play that now
and I throw it for a throwback
and I think about making that collab
and calling kiss and
getting Anthony Hamilton the film is party
in Africa
and John Legend the film is
part in New York and you film your part
in Yonkers and, you know, in Harlem
and, yeah, in Harlem, I was there in Harlem
with the Black Maybach. At that time, I think
BMF was starting to ring off, right?
All this, and me and Meek and Ross
in Atlanta, we was in Atlanta with a hundred
behind us with ACON singing the hook.
But that particular, right, a Scarface
during his hook is Versa Houston,
even face mob.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
And we all of here is,
big pun and my deepest performing.
Prodigy.
Ripping and down, kids.
I'm talking about people hanging off the speaker,
and then Joe and pun come out of nowhere
and perform twins.
And I'm the little kid right there
by the speedway just watching this shit.
And I'm like, what the fuck is.
this I'm watching
Prodigy
Mob Deep big pun
Joey crack

Prodigy and Mobb Deep, having performance,
