So before we no further ado, let's invite my brothers and friends to the show, DJ EFN and my brother, Noriega, man. Hey.

Y'all finally picked it up. Y'all finally picked it up. Congratulations. I watched this show and I sit back and I'm like,

this is what I did. In a good way. In a good way. Because you know why? I kinda, well, let me give it to this brother. He kinda knew that this podcast space was gonna be something that we all eventually get into. In my thoughts, I think that eventually rappers

would drop their albums on their own podcasts. You know what I'm saying? Just think about it, where you cut out all the middle man. Right, that's because that's what we're essentially doing. Right, while we were direct to the audience. So if we're direct to the audience with our speech, why would we direct the audience with what got the audience here in the first place?

You know what I'm saying? I'm not gonna lie to you, Norrie. I want ignorant, Norrie. You talking too smart. You got me there, shit. There's no liquor. You got no liquor. You know you got two asses.

This is getting on my style. This is sober champs right now. We're here for the C&H, Norrie. We don't want all that stuff. I've been watching the interviews and talking too smart. You know what I'm saying? Y'all be in Yallahur, monkey in your face. for talking too smart, man. You're fucked, man. Y'all, me and y'all heard Bunky in your face.

Sangria. Hang, hang. You gotta let me grow, man. You know what I'm saying? EFN finally left the cave to come do a fucking job. Ladies and gentlemen, y'all know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

You know what it takes to get EFN out of his comfort zone, out of Miami? This is special. Yep. I know you're happily married. I know you're happily married. We love your wife. Was she lying to you?

Nah, he ain't gonna be the same if you gotta leave it. Nah, don't stick to my hand. I need to check, the check, and it's called fast forward time. Oh, fast forward the time. I'm gonna try to get you on the shampoo box. I'm not lying. I'm gonna try to get you in the,

you would need a shampoo. The song Pepper Joint, I'm not doing this black thing you're doing. I'm not a rosy, rosy. This ain't the fake black, look at my shit. Man, that looks like Beijing a little bit. Some things be looking like, yo, you ever see, yo. So I dare y'all to go Google some of these guys

in the barbershop, they be having that shit look like Magic Walker all the way. Why fight the time? Nori's on the box. I am on the box, God damn it. Make some noise for me. But yo, Jada, this is what you don't know. We're in the middle of like a baby Cuban beef right here.

They got cube up beef. Oh no, we been had beef man. Yo, let me tell you, let me tell you how much- beefed me and EFF. Let me tell you how much. I tolerate him cause of you. Let me tell you how much they had beef. The first episode. He doesn't like that he doesn't rap. No, no, no, we over that now.

I don't rap Cuba. I'm fucking Cuban. You did not rap Cuba in the beginning. In 1992. He says you don't rap Cuba. Yeah, get on me EFF. In 1992, in fucking relativity records, it said Puerto Rican and Cuban born rapper.

Where did it say that? Hold on, I wish Bernardino Wikipedia didn't say that. Hold on, he had fit, he had the fit. I never really, I'm just really finding out about the Cuban, like the Kiss Brand. You know what I mean? You remember when you just told me that few episodes, I was very shocked, like,

yo Kiss, I'm Cuban and Puerto Rican. I never saw a Cuban flag at the Puerto Rican Day Parade with you. It's the Puerto Rican Day Parade. But still you gotta rap, you gotta rap. I'm kinda, you got, you on this, man. Let me tell you how much- No me a cohuerta.

Yo listen, listen, hold on. No me la cohuerta. Yo, listen. Shut up. Yo, listen, hold on. No me la cohuerta. Listen, listen, how much they, that, that, that Joe. Coyon. Wanted to prove that he's Cuban. Take him down to Cuba. Yo, we had, we had his father's funeral. Joe's father's funeral.

And Joe makes up, and he turns around and goes, yo, tell EFN I'm Cuban. Yo. And his father. That's something he's had. I thought he was finally coming. He told me when. Yo. I was wondering what he's saying. I thought he was finally coming. He told me when I got here.

I swear to God, EFN, no disrespect. I thought you was coming. Because it was in Miami. You finally could have been around my whole Cuban side. The whole Cuban side. I never told you? Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. You would have dug your own grave after that.

You would have been like, this thing. No, this is super Cuban. Beyond. No, I know you're Cuban grave. You would have been like this thing. No, this is super Cuban. Beyond. No, I know you're Cuban now. You didn't record then. I'm a kid. Now and then is two different things. I love this stuff.

So you saying it's cooler to be Cuban now? No, no, I'm just saying for some reason, now you're good with it. Let me tell you a story. Just for my Cuban people to understand this, I have a friend, his name is Robbie Robb. He is the only person. DJ? No, no.

He is the only person on the planet Earth that can literally, literally say when Fadjo was fucked up, pockets hanging, all my friends are going to the Feds, I had to go to Miami to hide out. Let me stay in his apartment with my wife and he fed me for six months straight. His apartment, you know, Robbie was, you know, was on the beach and everything. And he fed me, you know, when I don't want to say I was a bum, I wasn't a bum. We just, they caught my brother. They took all the money to this. It was a time everybody's going to jail. I went over there to stay out of sight, out of mind.

Twenty years ago, I was a bum. I wasn't a bum. They caught my brother. They took all the money to this. It was a time everybody's going to jail. I went over there to stay out of sight, out of mind. Twenty years later, Big Pun's double platinum, Fat Joe's platinum. We the hottest Latinos in the whole fucking game. And we had record labels that were begging me to sign the next Latino. Robbie Robb shows up 20 years later. He was my friend through his whole thing. Shout out to Donna and the whole family.

He says, you know, Joe, I have a rapper. Pitbull, a Cuban rapper Pitbull. Now, I'm going to tell you something that I never said before in the world. He gave that shit to me. TVT was begging me to do business with them. I never even listened to the demo. I went up in there and I said, yo, this is your next guy.

They said, what you mean? I said, he's the Cuban explosion. He's gonna be the next guy. This one, he was with Luke though? He was already with Luke. He was with Luke started, but he came to America. You know, cause- To America? What are you talking about?

I'm buying him. Luke is in America. Everywhere, but you gotta come here to get the check. Okay, you have to I'm sorry to say we love the West Coast We love you. Don't know New York. Okay, gotta come Her man flew in from New Orleans here to get the hundred million and flew back to the audience Gotta come to the motherland to get that check You gotta come to the motherland and get that check. So I walk up in there, Brian Steele was there, and I said, you have to sign it.

And they signed Pitbull, no money, no strings attached. And that's my contribution to Cuban hip hop. Pitbull the biggest Cuban rapper ever seen in the world. I gotta misdeal with TBT. You know, you can cap all y'all want, man. I say shit is real. Like it is what it is. We're gonna have Pitbull up here next episode later.

No, we gotta have him because one time I got into it with Lucas, Lucas was like, yo, I discovered him and all, I said, yeah, but I got him the bag. Like, I pulled him up there and I got him the bag. I broke the... You said it on Drink Chaps. That was on Drink Chaps.

I got him the bag. Simple. And by the way, guys, I just wanted to say congratulations on your Illuminati induction. Because when I walked through here, I was like, these things. You're the Illuminati. I said, this is what an Illuminati feels like. I was like, all right, y'all ain't even invite me, though.

No, no, no, no. Illuminati. You slipped in there by the fork, y'all. No, I'm considered, I'm really. You're considering the Illuminati? I think I'm Illuminati. I really believe it. I think y'all are.

I think y'all are. Listen, let me tell you something. No, no, no, I really think, yo, yo, I think I'm Illuminati. We just, we talk to Floss the Millionaire, forget about it, he gets out every three months. He's been in jail every three months. Walk him on Floss, he keep capping, he's capping.

Floss the millionaire. I ain't in school mother to bust me. Floss tells me I'm coming home December 6th. December 6th come, yo it's June 2nd. June 2nd come, October 23rd he's spending me. He got me for a loop, right? I don't think he's in control of that. No, boy.

He can't sleep. He can't sleep. Let me explain. I've been really going through a lot in my life. My brother's always there for me. I lost my best friend, Raul. Best in peace, Raul. I just want y'all to know we have real, I do.

Fat Joe, not you guys know we have real, I do, fat Joe, not you guys, I have real life enemies. There's some people that might die that I might throw a fucking parade for in the middle of the street and be like, yo, he died, the wicked, wicked west. And these guys been hating us forever, right? So you know Raul died, they know us to die.

Raul's the fucking one man warrior. This, this, that. Then we lose my brother. Then we lose my mother, my father. For sure he's depressed now. For sure he's not gonna work. The next day after the funeral, we up in here filming our first podcast.

They don't understand I'm on a different type of. I don't give a fuck. I'm built different. And then, you know, a lot more mudslinging. And I realized, you're Illuminati. Like you, you dip. Gotta be. That's how you got off that.

That's it. That's your epiphany. I figured it out because if you really hate me, if you want me to die, and you keep seeing this nigga in that Boategas shit, front row, I told them the other day, I said they gotta be upset. Let me be honest, they gotta be upset if Fat Joe front row 30 years in a row

in every basketball, boxing match, everywhere, floating with his wife with diamonds, they gotta be sick. They wanna throw a spear from upper deck so bad. I'm keeping it with me. So the whole point is, correct, Norrie, only you can figure out I'm a Luma. I'm a Luma.

I'm a Luma. I'm a Luma. I'm a Luma. I'm a Luma. I don't know what they talking about. Yeah. Nah, nah, you ain't got nothing to do with, yo, this is the got nothing to do with.

I ain't, they didn't, they didn't, they didn't fuck me. How many bullets, how many bullets have you strayed on this drink champs because of this guy? Could this guy come out of nowhere with your finger popping? Right, right. He leads his all the bullshit. Yo, what the fuck is wrong with you?

And you know what, Norrie, what is wrong with you? Where do you come up with everything in the world? You finger popping, eating ass right now. You just, what happened? Do you drink the wrong Japanese whiskey that day? Well, the show has migrated. It's grown. It started as that, started with Tiger Bone.

But sure. Since COVID happened, we haven't had Tiger Bone back. We just different, man. We just be having fun. We just added a new segment to the show where people are going rap, like Rap City in the basement. We go on. It's called, let me see if you still got it.

And so, you know, we'll give you the beat in advance. You know what I'm saying? So like, we're doing different things right now. We're in our ninth season. What is it? Well, yeah, it's March 2026. It's 10 years of Dream Champs. 10 years of Dream Champs.

You know what I'm saying? We're in our ninth season. What is it? Well, yes. March 2026 is 10 years of Dream Champs. 10 years of Dream Champs. And it was it was a hustle that was like my seventh hustle that went to like my number one hustle. You know what I'm saying? Like I actually enjoy it. We just now we recently opened Dream Champs Network. We got Bleak. We got Angela Simmons.

We got Healthy High Run Champs. We got Fatherhood. We got Grumpy OGs. We got Smoke Champs, we got fatherhood, we got gropey OGs, we got smoke champs, we got, you know what I'm saying? That's how to fuck you. That's how to fuck you. Doing shit. Yeah.

You know why? Because I used to go to my mother's house and she'd be like, she drink Mountain Dew because I did a commercial for Mountain Dew. And then she'd be like, what you doing with Sunkist? I don't like Sunkist. I don't like that because you know, you're trying to be loyal. If you ever realize, they all different stamps

owned by the same guy. Right. So I love that you branching out. Drink Champs is such a monumental brand, but I love what you're doing as businessmen and everybody's eating because you already been battle scarred. You went through everything in the world,

and now you putting people on, and at the same time, you're expanding the empire. Don't think I don't fucking watch you. I was slow, I was supposed to have this podcast. You know what I'm saying? I tried to individually, but this is genius. You know what I'm saying, y'all coming together. I'ma keep it a buck for you, I've just always been a boss.

So me personally, I don't know how to be under nobody. I'm just keeping it real with you. Even my brother, I love my brother as much as I can. Yeah, partners, it's my brother. Partners, no, no. Partnerships. By the way, you know what the beautiful thing about this is? I can't practice what I don't preach.

Meaning, like, this was my idea for telling people, you own your own stuff. Because one thing for sure, two things for certain, I'm not gonna go as hard as you. You know what I'm saying? If you gonna sign with me, guess what? You signed it yourself. You know what I'm saying?

You signed it to yourself records, not delusional records. You signed it yourself records. You signed it yourself records. You know what I'm saying? But I signed up first. That was the first guinea pig. Delusional records?

Delusional champs. Delusional champs. Delusional champ. Delusional champ. Delusional champ. You just started a new one. I walked out, I'm the original nigga with the hole in my head like a dolphin. You guys? He said, Joe, come over, we doing something.

When I left there. Don't think your uncle, don't think he the only nigga who catches bullets for fat Joe. I walked out of there, I said, it's official. I have beef with every cracker. Tell me about DMX, what do you see him do? What about this? And I'm over there like, and I'm realizing,

oh, these guys trying to do some crazy shit, and I'm going for it, I want my brothers to win. I'm talking shit. He didn't hesitate. Yo, I walked out of that motherfucker like I had a hole in my ass. I was like, I gotta be for everybody. What a lot of people don't know is

me and him had a show called Military Me Crazy Raw Radio. We had a show prior to, it was on Sirius XM. For three years. Remember XM and Sirius, they combined. So we, I don't remember. It was on XM first before. And then when then.

So what we did was just recreate the same show. Like if you look online, we don't remember. We was on XM first before. We was on XM. Yeah. So what we did was just recreate the same show. Like if you look online, we kind of cheated. Like, meaning like we had a same show with just with no artists. So that, so you and Kenny Anderson was the first two people. The pilots, those were pilots. Y'all was our pilots, you know what I'm saying? So we just did what we was.

My shit came out. Yeah. Yeah. My shit came out. Out the gate. Yeah. It hit. But, but. My shit came out. My shit came out. Out the gate, it hit. My shit came out. Our first number one.

How many millions of views we caught on that? No, we were suspected to do, I believe the numbers was like. 60,000. No, 15,000 or something like that. We did 267,000. 300,000 the first day. That's my original.

We got a plaque from San Diego. I don't think they outgave the plaque for car chassis. That's my original. He said he sold his soul. Induction to human life. That's the original. I ain't gotta let it do with that. No, no, Alupanadi saw that.

Alupanadi saw that. He said, this man is loyal. He's worthy. With fluidity. This guy will sit there and risk his life with his brothers. Well, I tell you, I tell you, I tell you, what really, really made us was the DMX episode. And a lot of people don't know,

you know how hard it is to get X, right? We filmed DMX in the lobby of the A-Lov Hotel. Like we had it all set up to go upstairs. No, no. Miami Beach, Miami. We had it all set up to go upstairs and the man wouldn't move. He wanted to play pool.

So we just sat. DMX. We went all the way upstairs, grabbed the equipment and came downstairs. And if you notice, if you watch that interview, he doesn't really know he's being interviewed. He didn't know what a podcast was. He didn't know what a podcast was. He didn't know what a podcast was. He was like,

Paul, I don't want to go back to jail. I was like, nah. We could do a documentary about that episode, behind the scenes of that episode. And then we played pool and then it's like, let's do it right now. And we just start talking. And it was like, it was the first time

like you got to see X emotional. You got to see him, you know what I mean? Because people saw that. People saw that, but people didn't see the human part of DMX. And that's when we started to realize, oh, okay, we got it. And then X came back years later and it was like,

and he was bigger, you know what I'm saying? He was healthy, you know what I'm saying? You know what's so weird? He's, you got, he was bigger, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, like he was healthy. You know what I'm saying? You know what's so weird is like you got real relationships, right? Like the other night I'm at the fight. I see Kevin Hart. You know, we the first to put him in Lean Back. Kevin Hart set off in Lean Back. He was telling dudes that, you know, that was like

the number one song of the whole time. His first movie he ever did was on the- All right, that's cool, but that was the biggest look, is that Lean Back. I throw that out there. No! It's a shoe in that. No, no star of Lean Back. Let's be clear. The man, I see him, and whenever I see him, I saw love.

He returned the favor and put me in the movie night school years later. I love Kevin Hart. And we talked, matter of fact, we talked about the podcast. He said, Joe, this podcast, he looked up. I guess it's hard for some people to give it up, right? And he turned around and he said,

you're funny. He said, you're real funny. This podcast is something. I said, yo, thank you, Kevin Hart. But I don't ask him for his number. I don't hang out with him. And he's my friend, right? You, on the other hand,

could do a fucking whole TV show based on you and X, you and Kanye, you and this. you really hang out with these guys. I work out with Kevin Hart. You see what I'm saying? This guy, he, I mean he hits me, he texts me. This guy's got these numbers and shit like that. I don't do that. No, because still I-

I've never done that. You see me when you see me, bone taker, that's it, I'm gone. Bone taker! This guy, Alupan it, I'm gone. Bontager! Yo, this guy, Illuminati. Illuminati. This guy here. I knew.

I walk into Fight Davenite, the only guy I really acknowledge was another Illuminati, J Prince. You said so. Fellow Illuminati here. You're on your own island. Y'all bugging. Illuminati.

Illuminati don't exist. Yeah, yeah. Relationships is important though.. No, I'm not. No, I'm not. He don't exist. Yeah, yeah. Relationships is important, though. Get being dumped in people. All right. You gotta speak for yourself. No, I'm speaking for myself.

Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

yo, I'm 45, I'm fucked up. I'm 50, I'm fucked up. I'm 50, I'm fucked up. Those the guys you see in the comments that diss you every chance they can. They're mad at their own lives. Them miserable shit, you're successful. Lookin' at them comments again, huh, Krah? Lookin' at them comments again.

No, no, no. Yeah, he be all, he be lookin' at them comments. I told him about that, you know that? Yo, don't let it drive you crazy. Let me explain, Cindy, I'm human. Anybody who tell you they don't look, they're kind of lying. Anybody, no, we don't, we don't well- You just dwell on it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta get it out. Listen, listen, my brother, you're my brother. We in Dominican Republic, we on vacation. I'm with the littlest guys and the biggest guys. I turn across behind them, I'm looking at the comments. We're on vacation. I am with the shit.

Yeah, you just looking through it all. I want to talk with the littlest guys. If you think I'm not watching you because you got two followers. Oh my God. He's crazy. You're the bottom feeder. What are you doing, Joe?

I'm watching you. Anybody gets to. Everybody gets to sublimity or whatever, can't say their name. One time I said somebody's name, they jumped out. Like I said, oh my God, you like breathe life into these guys. Do they happy?

You can't mention your name. But if I throw you, they know, the littlest to the biggest, they know, you not like me, you not like me. I don't care what you say, you can say it's cap or whatever, but I've been putting in this work in these streets since I'm 14. I don't care what you guys think you can say

in these comments and all that. You are not like me. And when I walk through, I walk like a sheik. I walk like a sheik from Dubai. So when I walk through, oh shit. Slow. No, that's him. When you open the door, something foreign every time.

When he come out, he clean. Oh dang it. Smellin' like a billion. Every, am I lying young man? You the only nigga who stuck up for me when they said I wasn't fly. 25, I told EFN off the camera, I said yo, if they lyin' in real life while we here,

and we're allegedly known to punish people, and you lying about me now, why imagine when I'm dead? I'm really all fucked up. You wanna tell me you throwing this shit on? Don't tell me about the old niggas that had it. They be the old niggas that rat it. You understand? Like you gotta stop.

And so we not on the same level. And there's one thing that people try to do. They do it to you too, whether you see, you don't see it obviously, you don't do it. They do it to everybody. Look, we come up from an era, if you talk on the street level, you couldn't be pussy and get money.

You had to put it down. That's just what it is. If you was pussy, you got money be pussy and get money. You had to put it down. That's just what it is. If you was pussy, you got money. They taking your shit. Your own friends is over. I'll be back it up. You got to go. This is how it is right in this rap game. I had so much and I was trying to be a nice guy.

I had so much beef in this game with every biggest rap crew you ever seen because I was like, you can't be serious. I just fought guys with eight heads in the streets. I'm not going to fall to a rap. These guys kill babies. Like you got to be kidding me. You think that your rap's a song? Family show. All right. But what I'm saying is- Family show. What I'm saying is, we came at a time where we had to really fight.

You had to write your bars, you had to write your bars. You had to work, you had to promote, you had to this, that. You know, the illest album out right now, but if y'all wanna keep lying to yourselves or whatever, them clips drop the fucking- The clips out of spite. You go get it if you love real hip hop. I don't care if you like the clips, go get that.

Yeah, spite. And the, but says we create. Content, your content creators. So what you got to understand is when Drink Tramp talks about something and these guys with two followers, that's their whole show. With Joe and Jada, we the rookies of the year. We come in the leaders of the new school. They turn around, they see what we say, and that's their whole show.

Yo, what Joe and Jay is saying, oh, Fat Joe talking about Michael Jackson with the Taliban, and come on, yo, it's the triple OG, I killed 46 dudes in three, C-74. Michael Jackson rapping on the Taliban? What's going on? That's their whole, they don't create content. They're content creators.

They're moving off what we do. We shifting the culture. And the culture has to be shifted the right way. You have to pay your dues, because we had a couple of corny guys maneuvering in this podcast space. There was a lot of corny guys. Maneuvering in this podcast.

This guy's crazy. No, listen. Yeah. The other day you said something. See me and you, there's nothing that you could do to get me to not salute the God. I gotta salute him. You know what I'm saying? He's my brother and we got the bond that can't be broken.

But. But. Breathe. Let's come back. Let's come back. Usopp. Let's come back. What I'm saying is, no, no, I'm coming back. I'm coming back.

What I'm saying is. What I'm saying is, yo, listen, man, you even gonna love me for the shit or you gonna hate me? There's two ways you can take this. You can laugh at me and say I'm cat whatever. In any case, we number one with a bullet. Don't get that fucked up.

So what I'm saying is the other day you made a comment, you said the only podcast that matters, String Chaps, Joe Button, and Million Dollars Worth Again. That hurt you? No, it never hurts me. Because I do a lot of shit to hurt him that he don't ever get hurt, so I can't get hurt.

We can't even fucking hurt each other. You understand what I'm saying? No, we can't. But what I'm saying is, I've seen a lot of other podcasts. Steve Jack is my brother, a bunch of them put in work, a lot of guys are doing their thing. I feel like Steve Jackson's a hater. No. This is the brother, a bunch of them put in work. A lot of guys are doing their thing. I feel like Steve Jackson's a hater.

No. This is the second time. No. This is the second time hating on me. Like what do you? No, because he been doing, you see, you gotta understand. I do, we were so family. We are.

I thought so too. I thought so too. No. And if he had a problem, he should have handled that. You know what I mean? But I seen him a couple of times, and he didn't say nothing to me. And I didn't say that to him. But it wasn't no big deal. What happened?

I believe he was talking to the statement like they putting in work in the park. It's a lot of guys, Carmelo. There's a lot of different guys putting in a lot of work. When you just say, yo, we the three that matter. Everybody else who don't put it us, we don't care. We just knew in the game and we just I don't give a fuck anyway. So I'm different. But is there any way to say, all right, why did you come up with that decision?

Uh, I don't know. I was feeling it's actually it's actually the truth. But it's a truth when they say like this, when it comes to hip hop podcast, we led the way one million percent. I. I who invented the podcast space period as Peter Rosenberg and Cypher Sounds. Anybody we all owe them a check. They give ice tea some credit.

No, I'm getting there. Peter was burning on a cyber sounds. That's the first podcast ever. Right. Then you got when you got to come to artists podcast, first artist podcast was ice tea. Right. Then after that, when you got to come to artist podcasts, first artist podcast was Ice-T, right? Then after that, this was a nerd space. Combat Jack. Combat Jack, yes, yes.

Combat Jack. Combat Jack, my man in jail. Rest in peace, no nerd. Yeah, no, no, no. No, but what I'm saying is overall, that's what it was for. It was, this was like a nerd space. What I'm trying to say, of course other podcasts matter.

Of course I'm on this show. I'm doing other shows, of course that. But what I'm course, I'm on this show. I'm doing other shows. Of course that. But what I'm saying is who led the way in this podcast. You're saying it's the golden era. Yes. I feel the hip hop. Yes.

LL Cool J, it's Salt and Pepper, Heavy D, Rock Kim, Big Daddy K. You just saying, yo, we led the way. Listen, and by the way, if it wasn't for those three podcasts, probably you wouldn't be here right now. Probably podcasts, probably you wouldn't be here right now. Probably a lot of people wouldn't be here right now. I super agree. I just wish you would have told me earlier there's so many bags in your space.

I mean, I did tell you. Listen, I did tell you. You know what you did? Like you said. No, no, no, no. I did tell you. You know what you did? You went and started crackvision on your own.

Like you said, you can't be under nobody. So you're living out your words. You did that. But hold on, I got to finish,, you can't be under nobody. So you're living out your words. You did that. You know what they say? Hold on, I got to finish because you can't just say that and we just go off. OK. You know, I didn't say that. You said that.

19 Keys. No, no, no, I'm saying. So 19 Keys hit me about the same thing. Who's 19 Keys? 19 Keys. He has a podcast as well. So if I say that, if I say something like, I'm the best and you offended, what does that mean about you? If I say something like I'm the best and you offended,

what does that mean about you? I ain't saying this is my shit. I monkey fucked this game. I got the viewers every single month. You are the best. I don't have to clout chase. Hold on. No, you guys are the best.

I don't have to clout chase. You're all the kids. I don't have to diss other podcasts. What I was trying to say was, that's the podcast that matters in this milestone at this moment. At this moment leading up. Now, of course, there's gonna be other people. Of course, there's gonna be other people.

You know, everybody's gonna have their time. You're gonna have their time. You know what it is in Miami? Miami, you get a restaurant six months and then you close down. Gecko, all these beautiful restaurants, they hot. You can't get a fucking reservation at all. But then six months, where they at? Where they at? That's right. You know what I'm saying? Let me just say something. Not only have I survived this space, but I've

been innovative. I've been innovative. I've been innovative. When people were chasing other people, I wouldn't mess with a kid from Virginia. No one was messing with kids from Virginia. This guy is still to this day. When they was calling him Dee's nephew, I was the only one outside of the Rough Riders who worked with him. Scott Storch, yes, you made him famous. But who gave him that first beat when he came out here?

Reggae Thone, y'all both laughed at me. Y'all both apologized, so I take y'all forgiveness. But look at Bad Bunny right now. This nigga got a fucking concert for six months. We're going, we booked our tickets. Holy moly guacamole. No, we booked our tickets. You telling me that exists without Oye Mekanda,

without me, what I did? Like, this is what I'm trying to say. You know what I'm saying? Buster Rhymes told me the other day, he said, yo, man, I don't like you still being humble. I'm a humble guy. But I know my accolades, though. I know what I did.

I know my numbers. I know what I put up on the board. Very aggressive, Buster Rhymes. I know what I put up on the board. So you, boss. I know what I put up on the board. So you know what? If I'm finally bigging up myself. Hold on, hold on. So if I finally big it up myself.

Now is when y'all, when I'm humble all these years, nobody got nothing to say. Oh, he's humble, Norm. He's chill. Now I say, you know what? We fucked that. We put off a foot in this game. And I'm not taking away from others.

So I'm sorry if I said it that way, and people got offended. That's not what I meant. I meant, this is, remember the era, DMX, you know, Jay and Jah, this is what us three is. It doesn't mean that Nas doesn't exist. Doesn't mean that, you know what I'm saying, Ruff Ryders doesn't exist. So that's all.

Yeah, I just felt good. I felt good. Yeah, I felt good about that. I felt good about that. I got to address it, you know what I'm not saying rough riders don't exist. Nothing wrong. So that's all. That's how you feel. Yeah, I just felt good. I just gotta address it. Yeah, I felt good about that. I gotta address it. I gotta address it. You know what I'm saying? So you could explain how you feel about this shit.

Now, you're my brother and I go on vacation with you and you guys try to force me to drink. Including my wife. No, let me say something. Let me give you a story. Your brother-in-law was walking in my house sideways. Where he's at? You ever seen this guy?

This guy for certain was going to vomit. I'm watching him the whole time. Yo, I'm watching brother-in-law. You hear his brother? This guy's walking like this. So I'm walking behind him with a towel ready to catch him because for sure he got out sideways He was sideways? He was sideways. Not forward, he's walking like this.

And then his mother, everybody's watching him. I said for sure, I've been there. So I know he's gonna vomit, 1 million percent. I'm watching him the whole shit. He didn't, right? But EFN said he brought the drink to the drink champs. He said you more of a smoker at that time. When we were doing military crazy love.

And we had the casino-ish spot, remember the party bottles? He said, they're the drinkers. You used to be the smokers. You was Pino and Smokers. Yeah, yeah. And now you have graduated to the drink champs. I tell ya, probably.

Hardly, because God damn, you guys, it's like a mission. I swear to God. He's like, yo, give him a shot. That next day. And I'm a happy drunk. You know what happened to me? I don't know if I ever said this, but the one time I got drunk, I was in Morris High School.

I was the bully at all. I said they could say whatever they want. I robbed the whole fucking shit by myself. Some of you guys is pussy. You can't get your name you got smacked in the back of your neck and you kept walking. But I was the guy and my man came and said before home when we said, yo, let's drink. I said, what's this?

It was a 40. Mm hmm. We drank a 40. Oh, we never got drunk. Yeah, something like that. So we went to the back of Morris High School with the girls playing handball, because that's what all the pretty girls was. And I was disrespectful. I was like, you know, fuck that.

They're doing all that. When I tell you this guy's name was Eddie, I even give him a big head. It's the biggest punk in the world. Me and him got into it and he beat the shit out of it. And no one could beat the shit out of me at this time, that's what I'm trying to tell you. My hands was crazy, right? So I remember I sat down in the gate and I just looked at everybody laughing at me and I said, something's wrong, right? Why do I feel like this? I feel like I can't even move my arms. I can't even fight. And I realized, you got drunk. You fucked up. And from that point, if I was going to have beef with everybody in the world, niggas

shooting at me, all type of shit, I got to be dead sober. The next day I came back, boy Eddie caught the hockey stick to the hockey club, to his fucking big dome. You know what we call Eddie? A fucking sniper's dream. You know how the snipers got their heads on the shit with the cross on the shit? This shit is a sniper's dream. Somebody gonna tell you, you're rich, man.

You're rich and you live a different life now. Yo, yo, yo, my dude, we're in my Kodos. It's two o'clock in the afternoon, he gets up. Yo, I shot the sky in the face. No, no, no, no, I let you. I'm like, yo, I'm like, yo, we're in front of nothing but beautiful city. Beautiful city. He's crazy, yo.

If you ever need a loan, I know you going to that guy. Cause you got all that money. And what's crazy is- You kept all that money, don't fucking lie to me. Listen, what's crazy about this-

And I got the fuck up. Know what I'm saying? I was like, yo, what's up, man? Whatever y'all wanna do. I'm not gonna lie, this is the humor to the story. It was a gay guy who ran the club. Man jumped in the middle of them and saved him. Man jumped, nah, you can't, not a year.

I'm telling you this ass out. Don't you do that. That dude snapped his fingers too tight. Turned out though. I spun out. No. This is stories. This is stories.

No, but it's a true story. I'm big in the mob. The man saved my life. When he distracted them, I spun out. I went upstairs, I got a fucking fork. I'm chopping in the mall, man saved my life. When he distracted them, I spun out. I went upstairs, I got a fucking fork. I'm shopping in a fork like this. I got the fork like, all I can guarantee. I'm taking to American meat.

I am not invincible. All I can guarantee, America, you will see me go out. They will pound me to smithereens, drag me. I'm not guaranteeing you they won't be a video like that one day, but you will see Joe going out. Out, he'll be like yo crack went out with 30 of them. He was, he's about that, he said he was about that life, he's about that life.

So let me ask you. Hold on, so Nori calls me, what a blessing in disguise. So I go, yo Nori, I can't line you up. They're about to pound me out tonight, right? Cause they was coming. So my promoter's here, he's German. He says, oh my God, what are they guys? What they call them?

Not the Aryan nation, what are they in Germany? Skinheads. Skinheads! He said, he's up to skinheads, Joe. They are coming, these guys don't play. They burn people in cars and shit like that. He was, yo, so I'm up there with a four, I got my height down bitch.

No, I swear to God. What you gonna do with a four? Go all out, B. I'm gonna go all out, B. Trust me. So I'm going like this, and Norrie calls me out, something not to come. Norrie comes with a hundred guys.

Enjoy. Them niggas, he came with some, y'all, I'm not gonna lie. All right, hold on, hold on. These guys are dangerous guys. For years, for years, I've been going to Germany. And I had the same people keep coming to my shows. So I started to realize everybody's not a groupie. Some of these dudes are allies.

You know what I'm saying? And I learned that from Rough Riders. Rough Riders got a chapter everywhere. Like if I ever was somewhere trapped, I would call D and D would send the biker gang. Like they look weird and all that, but they coming, you know what I mean? So I learned that.

So I built a relationship with Dues Adolphin and all that. I used to go there know what I mean? So I learned that, so I built a relationship, Dues Adolph and all that. I used to go there, I couldn't get money in America, so I used to go there and what I started to realize is, yo, build these little armies, like that's what we doing with run champs right now, everywhere we wanna have a run champ segment. So I never had a chance to use them, hold on.

We gotta talk about run champs. Yeah, we gonna go to group into that. Oh my God, crack place. Yeah, so, so, so, so Jack calls me and go, I mean, I call him, excuse me, and he's telling me not to come, he's being honorable, like, like, chill, bro, like, I'm like, yo, I'm doing the exact opposite.

So I'm looking around, I got 25 people here already. I'm like, can you call more people? They're like, I got 10 on deck right now, so we literally show up like 35. But by the way, we're 10 deep. We're 10 deep already. This is a component of Noriega's show. He don't complain. He don't complain.

Yo, let's stop. Yo, brother, you better stop. Yo. Yo. Yo, don't do that shit. I ain't gonna lie. I felt so good. Because we walked through.

And I asked one of the dudes, you know who he's talking about? He's like, I knew who he was talking about. And I guess the people was in the crowd. They was in the crowd. And we had a hundred. And he went like this. The dude, he's like, I knew what he was talking about. And I guess the people was in the crowd. They was in the crowd and we had a hundred. And he went like this, the dude, he went like this. He was like, he can't do nothing. He couldn't do nothing. He had no respect.

He was standing at the back. That was that one. Crazy shit is on. This the hell's on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a good shit. Yeah, yeah. That was a good story, right.

Thank God for the entourage. We stood on stage, you know, we sat up there and he said we had a 100 dudes on that stage. And it's a Capone and Noriega show, so people follow him too. They were looking like this, like, yo, where did he get this proof from? Saved by the bell. Now, because now, you know, I got a place in my house

called Bon Chincha, wait, you know that. Okay, yeah, but I forgot. I got a place in my house, you sat there, it Wait, you know that. Okay, yeah, but I forgot. I got a place in my house, you sat there. Okay. It's got a gospel, Bon Chin Chia. Okay, okay. It's got a gospel. Okay.

So I go like this. This is a Bon Chin-Chit Way moment. The other day, so he got Run Champs, he got Drink Champs, he got Smoke Champs. Smoke Champs, yeah. Run Champs got into the show before everybody. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh my God. Major Bon Chin-Chit Way! Yeah! Yeah! Yo! Yeah! Everybody. Yeah. Oh my God. Major Bojic and Wayne! No! Hold up! Hold up! No! No! No!

I told you not to! Bojic and Wayne! I'm sitting there! No! What happened? That's like D-Block, Rough Riding, this, this, that. He's making an empire. Run Champs right now is the new thing.

And they running everywhere. He got billionaires running with him. He's serious about it, running up mountains. Them guys are nice guys. It's safe to say you're nice guys. I'm looking right at you. Kind pedestrians. You gotta use rewind.

But these guys, they let them into the rock, the bells before the jingling. You know what I mean? Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ain't no handles for anybody.

Cause they the new kids. They the new kids for anybody. Because they the new kids. They the new kids on the block. They signing scores. They let them write in. We can't do that. One champ's back there. He not even listening. Listen.

By the way, it's a dark. Listen, you cannot. It was Smoke Champs for real. I said, I said, I'm minding my business, right? I'm listening to the conversation. Ching Bling was outside. I said, Ching Bling was outside? He didn't get in.

Ching Bling? Yeah, Young Radley too. I said, oh, man. I said, it gotta be, listen. Oh, man, that ain't right. You gotta let Joe go. We know the World Champs is the leaders. You gotta let Joe throw 100% We know the run champs is the leaders. Oh, we gotta make sure one, two, three, six, four, six, seven,

What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

Nothing happened until run champs get their credentials. Crazy. No, I had to drink to that, but they were selling me that shit. And the guy telling me, the guy who was telling me, who was trying to regulate, was walking sideways at the time. I was like,

I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk. All my brothers was walking sideways. Him and he's the guy trying to figure this out. I said, yo, Papi, you're out of your league right now. You trying to do the right thing, but you gotta relax for real.

So let's get this established. Run Champs cannot get in the contest. In the concert before- Drink Champs and everything else. Drink Champs, they're more seasoned. Drink Champs, Smoke Champs. Don't go in front of smoke champs. Because this is gonna be a problem.

Right? I mean, let's be serious. I'm literally tearing up this type of thing. You gotta like, you know. No, I was in the meeting. No, I was in the pre-meeting. Fat Joe was in the pre-meeting saying, yo, yo, we gotta regulate this, Randy Yacca.

Oh, he playing Randy Yacca. That's the answer. I tried to throw Randy under the bus, though. It was, it was. Randy, Randy, for old school, you ain't got no shit to bone. Yo, Randy, Randy, you old school, you been my brother for many years.

There's something called- Stay out of that area, Randy. There's something called no shit to of that area, Randy. There's something called nose to the bone. Nose to the brain. You don't want that. Okay, I gotta keep it up up. You don't want that type of situation. I love run chats.

I love smoke chats. I love drink chats. Let's not do this again. Please. Please. Yo. You know what it is? I will be honest with you.

I've done two shows a year. All right. There's two shows and I forgot how to snap back into artist mode. You know what I'm saying? Like, like you see you just came from North Carolina. Fendi party. I imagine you could just snap right back into that shit. You know what I mean? Like I have it's a process. You know what I mean? So I went back into artist mode and I just wasn't paying attention to what was going on. By the way, I was getting the calls.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen. Jada Kiss is my business partner, but he been getting buried just for two months.

He been on Fat Joe, Joe and Jada. I could imagine what he's hearing out there, right? Because Fat Joe is hard to be my friend. Because I say the wildest shit you ever seen in your life. So I know, Norrie been catching beef for me beyond life. And he just holds it. I wanna Jada been going through it for too long. I can't wait for the day.

He might come one day and be like, yo, I resigned. You talked about Mother Teresa. We're not going to do that. It's over. It's almost resigned today. You know what I'm saying? There's so much I can do with this guy here. But, you know, it works.

But I had to get in this negotiation and be like, listen, I know they hot. Just y'all gotta chill because we don't want that type of action. Let's all get along, get money, let's have fun. They keeping you healthy, right? Because I worry about you, because you drink a lot, right? And I don't know how safe that is.

Are you gonna hit one when you leave the dock? I'm drinking it now immediately. They're not stopping me. No, I'm talking about when you go back to the dock, they didn't tell you that. Imagine you in jail, you can't have nothing else, but diapetsis are legal. Holy shit, that's like you a cigarettes,
