I say it, it's like one of my models.
People don't want what you give them.
They want what you got.
It's so funny because I hear people say it now.
Say that slow.
Say that slow.
People don't want what you give them.
They want what you got.
So you can give them in the house.
That's how it.
Yeah, yeah, what up, y'all?
This is Joe Crack, the Dawn.
You know who it is, your boy Jada.
It's the Joe and Jada show.
Every show legendary, every show iconic.
Poundic, pal, pal.
When you think of today's guests,
you got to think of bars.
You got to think of rest in peace, my brother, pun.
You got to think of a great mother.
Always got to put that first.
You got to think of somebody that's,
Very outspoken, but has a good heart.
You got to think of somebody with resilient.
You got to think of somebody that they counted out and doubted,
and she came back even stronger.
You got to think of somebody who has her own network.
You got to think of somebody that's very passionate about a certain cloth of hip-hop,
and she makes sure that she represents that very,
Well, that thing about somebody that's been in the tabloys for the past few months
just going crazy.
Like two years.
Years.
Excuse me, two years.
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the queen.
Ramby, Ma.
Glad I could be here, guys.
What's up, sis?
A lot of people was like, yo, we thought Rem would have been here.
We wanted to get closer to the 100 episode mountain.
stone before we started bringing the locks and bringing you because that's just the
Cheeco.
We actually was going to do you, you in the locks together.
I know.
I was waiting for the smoke.
I got super smoke yourselves.
I had it all mapped out.
Yeah, we was going, we had, that's what was the original plan was that bring.
I was stuck in Miami for stuff.
What was it?
Yeah, it was a snowstorm.
The snowstorm messed everything up.
You seen the plane crash in the, you know, I was in the Guaddi of that.
day driving through the plane
shit.
Oh, tell me you jumped through the fire.
He was the only one to me.
Fuck, it is going on.
See, no, no. You call it cap on
a real one. No, I'll...
Yo, Ram, come on, let's go, Ram.
Don't let this guy.
Because I be watching, y'all.
I watch y'all, you know?
And I feel like my brother gets a lot of...
He gets a lot of flag
because people just don't be
understanding how he tells stories.
We spoke one time, right?
In the beginning of the show.
Jayda, he's a Gemini like me.
So I had to explain to him how I've been able to maneuver with this guy
and get a word in, you know, throughout the year.
You notice he's able to talk a little bit more now.
He picked it up.
I said, you have to, first thing you have to do is understand that Joe Matt.
If Joe sets, he was at the club, he came out, and there was 100 niggas out there.
It was like seven niggas out there.
She's verified.
I like this.
I think 14.
But it was only him.
So it appeared to it felt like
it was all really a lot bigger than him.
So in his mind's like, oh, they basically add up to about 100.
Understand.
If Joe comes in, he says, we smack the niggas chico.
The guy probably is not with us anymore.
Smack it.
You got to understand the way he exaggerates.
He just smacked the chigua.
He's being nice.
And a lot of these stories I was there for,
and I'd be like, nah, I really happy.
Or in the beginning,
there were times where he would tell me stories
about people that were this big
and they could hide behind a bag of course.
And then you be with him.
I'm with him at a party.
And the guy walks up.
Bad Joe, I'm sitting there like.
My God is.
So some of them...
His name was Nelson.
Dominican Nelson.
It's never a lie.
Maybe a little gladiation.
A little sats soul.
Just a little dobo.
Because he's a story.
He's a story we tell that at the same time.
I appreciate you breaking down.
But he doesn't lie.
Joe Nomics.
He don't.
He don't lie.
He does not lie.
So I was into the airport, your wrist player.
You're always in the background, Dynasty Commoddy.
Was we not on that runway?
So we pay for a concierge service that the minute we get off the plane.
They take us off.
I want to help you walk.
They put you in the portion.
They drive through the airport to your car with your bags.
Delta.
We was on that runway.
That same day, we landed from Miami.
Boom.
And then we was gassing the girl.
This girl was driving us.
And she was like, you know, they're very careful.
And we was like, yo, cut the shit off.
She was like, you see that plane's going to move.
And I was like, yo, come on.
Just swag around them.
And she was like, oh, we can't do that.
We got to wait for the plane.
And that's what the fuck happened.
And LaGuardia, the plane was landing.
somebody
that's in the middle of that.
Right.
You could have been having
a different
interview today.
A different interview
could have been
the rest of the piece
so,
okay?
She probably come out
with the Fed Joe's
greatest hits and shit.
Yo,
I got the album to talk.
I got the verses.
Where's it at?
Your sister,
you're looking beautiful.
You're shining.
This Remi Network.
Yes.
It's the biggest
shit in the world.
You got the lawyers
and everything,
right?
Joe calls me at least
once.
a week.
You sure the paperwork is good, sis?
You sure.
Everything is, you know, people wait.
When it starts blowing up, people, I'm like, yo, it's cool.
I think, all right, cool.
Five days later.
Yeah, sister, I've noticed the Remedy Network.
I see you guys in the top app.
Your paperwork is good.
I'm just, like, you got to appreciate friends like that.
Because now I'm calling them like, yo.
That paper work good, right?
No, no, you're calling you every two days.
Your lawyer is a great lawyer.
I have to tell him that's something that crazy.
It's not going to be good, but it's, but it's,
It's been really, really, it's been an experience that I was not really expecting to enjoy and to light.
I'm just like, oh, I got a network.
I was trying to start my own talk show.
And, you know, we were doing the Wendy show.
We loved it.
Everybody loved this on daytime TV.
We fucked it out.
That shit.
We were killing them.
You see that shit?
We all windy.
We feel that day time.
That shit feels so good.
The lights are different, James, and the cameras is bigger.
Giving them the pain.
This shit is a different.
We was getting it.
giving them pain with the, it started there.
After afterwards, I'm like, you know,
I was working on my solo show,
and I was taking into these different platforms
and the percentages that they was asking for
and the portion that they were,
it was just ridiculous, because I'm like, I'm me.
I'm doing everything, and I'm me.
It's not like you're building a new artist,
like you've seen me, when you see me
in a state of the culture, you've seen me,
like, you know, in the real,
I've done so you know I can do it.
Why am I giving me?
So I was talking to my partners, and I'm like,
can I just put it on my own situation?
He was like, you mean like your own network?
Yeah, I'm like, no, I don't mean like my own network.
But what you mean like on my own network?
Like, what you're talking about?
We start talking and we're going through the discussions and just kind of like
you ever like had an issue with your car or something because it was so crazy.
By the time you finished, you know everything about the car.
Like it was like one of those type of situation.
By time I was done figuring out how the network works and how everything is,
needed and to just make it be what it is.
I'm like, oh, everybody has the same problem.
We have all of these great young, constant creators, people of color that have, you know,
podcasts.
They have moved.
There's people out here shooting whole movies on their own.
A whole series.
That's fine.
They don't have a platform or they were just putting it on the tube.
And yeah, it's the tube.
But unless people know to go to it, you're not going to get the view.
They got to know already.
So now I have this platform.
Everybody's going to it because it's Remmy's network.
and I'm giving you a spot where you can just come and bring a talent.
So let me tell you my version of what we've been doing.
You already know when it's a real moment, you need a real bottle.
That's why we rock with 1800 tequila.
These people been making tequila for 11 generations.
That's a legacy.
That's the OG status.
They were the first to introduce a nejo.
Set the standard before most of these brands even existed.
And you can taste the difference for real.
The 1800 Cristolino and Respasado is what we've been on lately.
Smooth, clean, elevated.
No rough edges, just a premium pour that speaks for itself.
You know when something is just built right, that's what this is.
Real talk.
That's just what it is.
It's always around for the best nights, the wins, the celebrations.
They remember that night's stories.
Whether you're keeping it low-key with the crew,
or you pull up to something big.
1800 fits every
setting. It ain't trying too
hard. It's just as that.
1800 tequila,
real legacy,
real smooth.
That's the move.
I'm in L.A.
I'm in the Waldorf Astoria.
I bump into Charlamagne Guard.
Okay.
Now,
no disrespect,
but besides
The breakfast club
I don't know what he got on this network
But they said he sold the shit for 200 million
Now when I did the terrorist squad deal
They said 20 million
It was more like 10 million
And it was like you know
In time you know
They all got these like projected numbers
What it's gonna be
Like the Fad Joe numbers
You know the Fad Joe numbers
No no they got the Chinese man
They got some other shit
I sit down
I see your Charlemagne
what's up, God, he's eating breakfast.
I just invite myself and shit, order some breakfast.
And I said, yo, man, you know, they said 200 mil.
I know it really ain't 200 mil.
The man looked at me and said, oh no.
They gave me 200.
That's 200.
I said, it ain't projected.
It ain't supposed to be.
It ain't works its way out in 10 years.
He said, no.
They gave me 200 mil.
The minute he told me that, my whole brain,
He said, Remy Network, better fucking,
like, don't play that shit
because you be a bet.
Where's Remy?
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, walking around
and flip-flops talking about they sold that shit
for 200 mils. She wasn't
boiled up. That is why I keep
telling you, yo.
Bedford Hills.
She's back in Bedford.
That's always keeping in contact with them.
Man, I'm telling you what I tell you.
I speak to a lot of people. I know how to
industry work. I know how everybody
inflate the numbers. They be lying, this,
this, that. I looked at the
man in the eyes and I was like,
yeah, you know, I'm thinking he got 20 million.
You say 200 million.
I'm really thinking he got 20.
Like that Joe, in his house,
drinking a coffee, saying
he caught 20.
You know what I'm saying? When I say, yeah, you know,
because the numbers don't be the numbers. He said,
oh no, it was 200.
I said, 200.
I don't know, nothing on his network.
That's it.
No Remy Network, though, right?
I know Remy Network.
We constantly play it in the house.
And if you ain't got it, go get it.
I'm just saying.
It's Remy Network.
She's giving everybody.
So what you got to understand is you're giving everybody a chance.
You're giving everybody your opportunity.
Everybody who don't have the platform to put eyes on it.
I got an independent movie.
I can put it on RIME.
Yes.
If you make a movie and let's say the movie is about a rapper that used to be a CO.
and now, you know,
he wants to be a bad.
And you come to me
and you just give me the movie.
That's your movies, not me.
Like, I don't listen to, like,
so whatever your movie is.
Yeah, you don't tell people
what kind of movies to make.
Yeah.
I don't even watch all the ones.
Like, I literally,
I'd be over there,
and I'd be on my own network,
like, oh, that's movie fire.
This series is crazy.
But I don't, I'm not in charge.
I don't curate the playlist
or, you know, whatever is,
whatever's there.
So any movie that you have, whatever,
we give the artist, the creator, the director,
wherever it is a platform
and somewhere where they can display their product in the time.
You know, before the Remi Network came out,
I was kind of fucking with Tooby for that.
I seen this show called me and the lesbian.
He was sleeping with all the lesbians or some shit.
Homeboy was hit.
Nah, he was getting it.
And he was like, hmm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This guy, he was so lucky.
He kept hitting that, knocking down the tough girls.
We got to get me and the lesbians on Remedy in that.
Let's see if.
Oh, no, you got to get that one.
We're going to, we're going to list it as.
The lesbian, homie.
We're going to put it as bad.
He smashed one lesbian, homie.
All of them were said, that's the proper way to say it, but not just that, you know, like your friend from up north.
What we call that, like, legit.
Well, it's tough girls.
Like AG.
So he knocked.
down one. And then she told
her friends, like, yo, they said, yo, but
you're not gay if you hit, slept with the minute.
Now they all were you like, well, you're going to know
if you're gay or not. If you sleep
with somebody, they all kept coming to my
man. They were like that. Bing,
beam, you, John, come on.
Brush your luck. I want to see if I'm
fully gay or not.
He was getting. He was lying.
How did you sign that move?
While I'm sitting on a couch, I realized
he was telling a regular random
story, but nobody asked for it. He was not
solicited nothing.
You know, like your friend from up north, you know, like,
why, what?
Like, why would you do that to my friend?
No, I love her.
She was like that what she.
No, no, she's my people, though.
I ain't looking at the office, she's the real deal.
She's like, she proud of who she is.
That's, I'm not.
All right.
We don't got to say her name.
He was crazy.
I didn't say her name, Jake.
And my regular friend, you know the way the internet.
Oh, her friend.
is my regular friend.
She got her old girlfriend.
Like, she's cool.
Like,
somewhere in you locked up
and I know you're not pussy.
Was there like fucking like cocked diesel girls
trying to fight you and a-
With somebody,
like she had more facial hair than you.
Everyone.
Every fight I have.
Hair?
They got kicks in in with bits.
Goathees.
They connect them.
No.
How?
They made them.
They drew this shit on.
The same way that they have, you know.
Like your brain.
Hollack.
We're going in.
So, now, here was my thing, right?
I swear to God, I was...
Listen, I'm going to tell you,
some of it was just a little bit,
me just being me,
a little bit was just a hate him
because in prison, in a women's prison,
if you are a female that,
that likes other females,
but you look more like a guy,
you're more lit.
Like, so all the aggressors was lit.
These girls was having their family
sitting a whole package to them.
They go on a commisserie,
coming in, get here, fill out the commisherher sheet.
So they're sitting in there like kings.
They like this.
And I'm sitting here like,
first of all, they're not even really into girls like that.
They only mess with the,
if a girl only mess with you because you look like a guy,
she's really not into girls.
So that's one.
Two, I really beat you the fuck up.
I don't care.
All that face you hear,
you really not a dude,
you really not a man at all.
You probably got on panties right now.
Like, I'm talking to them crazy.
And they used to be trying to talk like they was real men.
And I had a problem with that.
Like, who was talking to?
So you have man fights with them?
Every fight I had.
Every fight,
except for probably one.
with like a femme, a regular girl.
Everybody else was like,
because people go,
I smack the shit out of everybody at this table.
Oh, not me.
So why you always got to say something?
Because you just said you're going to smack the shit out of everybody at the table,
except for me.
I just want the record to show that I'm not going to get smacked.
That's it.
I don't want to, I don't know if I smoke.
It's not going to smack me.
That's it.
You know, what's crazy?
They be trying, they be trying dudes inadvertently.
Like, they'll be like, you know, like,
yo, homeboy y'all.
Say we doing the joint.
Yo, Jada ain't, you know,
what that mean if you know I'm rocking with him
and you're gonna, then you're trying me.
You're trying to try me like, yo, my man,
how about that's my man?
What's up?
Because you feel you got to say so.
So here me the thing.
What's shaking?
Like they try people like that.
Here's the problem with me, right?
With me, I feel like people think that I think that I can't be weak.
Or I think I'm so tough.
It's not that.
I just know that I'm willing to take.
it to the levels that some people are not going to take it to.
Like, I'm not saying that you can't beat me up.
Beat me up.
But when I come, that's bad cause.
Like, it would be one of those things that's like,
no, I'm just like her wash me because I'm tired of her.
I'm tired of her pushing my grandmother in front of buses,
what she was.
I'm tired of her.
Like, sending kids to beat up my guard kid.
That's only four years on, dick, I'm tired of her.
I'm sick of her.
Like, I'm not going to lie to you.
I know some guys.
Okay.
Well, I'm wanted.
Gotta push your grandmother in front of them.
No, I just can't get beat up.
I'm not living with it, guys.
I'm sorry.
Y'all can hear Fat Joe got pounded out.
Y'all can come to my house.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Fat Joe lost in the physical altercation.
Here we go.
He's turned into a scholar.
Orange scholar, my name.
I don't care.
If somebody called me,
It was like, yo, I just heard Joe just lost a fight.
Like, it was that.
Like, I'm literally going to be worried.
I'm going to the house.
Like, I'm going to go.
No, no, you can come with the mariachi.
I'm calling everybody.
I'm calling the lawyers.
Like, are you ready?
I know guys who can't get beat up.
I know guys that got beat up,
disappeared for six months, came back.
And, man, it's a bad day for you.
So you got to even be careful on who you beat up.
Because there's some guys that you can't take a hell.
They can't take an L.
That's a lot of problems with the young kids, too.
They can't take the L.
They don't even want to fight.
But if they do fight and take the L?
I don't even think it's about taking the L.
Everything is for social media.
Before it was everything, money's to go to the ball.
Now it's attention.
Everybody, they don't care if it's good attention, bad attention.
And then, God forbid, they get a taste of it.
Something happened.
They go viral.
Now they're sitting there every day
thinking of what's the next dumb-ass thing
that I could do because I have nothing else really going on
so I can go viral again.
You know what?
Let me just say something stupid.
Like, hey, I'm going to be an astronaut.
What do you guys?
What do you guys think?
I should be an astronaut.
Bro, you're dumb.
No, you're not going to be an astronaut.
But they know people are going to say that
and it keeps it going.
So if you have these younger kids and young girls,
you see, when you guys, you got to just keep talking.
Don't let him get him.
You have these younger guys and these younger girls
that they get into altercation.
The first thing they're thinking,
like, yo, it's going to be all over the internet.
I'm going to be on whatever blog
and it's going to be the video
or it's going to be people saying this.
So now I have to up it even for,
or I'm not even going to let it go to that point.
I got the switch soon as it get crazy.
And now your whole life is going away
because for your fear of being the butt
of the joke on the internet.
And it's crazy because I've seen this one guy
and I'm not trying to disrespect you
because you probably know
who you are.
Boom.
No, no, I don't know his name or no,
but he's a guy.
He danced like the old school dancing.
One time he did it, he went viral.
Bro.
I don't need to watch this guy,
breakfast, lunch, and dinner doing the same dance.
He's at every party doing the same,
trying to get viral again,
because he got viral the first time.
This guy's dancing at every ball midst for every day.
Like your one man, you got to be crazy, right?
My man.
He don't.
even get no money for that. You don't get money for it. You get the, you get the, oh, that's the
girl from, well, that's the guy from, like, it's bad out here. Today's show is brought to you by our

Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.
You might have seen the skits, the reactions,
my journey from basketball to college football,
or my career in sports media.
Well, somewhere along the way,
this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.
And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.
This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes,
creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.
One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment.
And the next, we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music.
The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast.
It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told,
and for people who are chasing something bigger.
So if you've ever supported me
or you're just chasing down a dream,
this is right what you need to be.

Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Do you remember when Diana Ross
double-tap Little Kim's boobs at the VMAs?
Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people.
I know what you're thinking.
What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim?
Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast.
I'm Sam J.
And I'm Alex English.
Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down,
and try to make sense of how we survived it.
Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill,
waxing all about crack in the 80s.
To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack.
I'm down to talk about crack all day, but just so y'all know.
I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack.
So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.
We also have AIDS on the table right now.
Thank you for finishing that sentence.
I don't think there's a more important year for black people.
Really?
Yeah.
For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.
Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm John Green.
You may know me as the author of The Fultonar Stars.
And now, I guess also is the co-host of the Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast.
I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer in Jersey.
and John and I have known each other since we were kids.
My first World Cup was Mexico 86.
I was nine years old.
I watched every game and I fell in love.
On our new podcast, The Away End,
we'll share with you the magic of international football,
all leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
For us, soccer, football,
is a story we've shared for over 30 years
since Daniel was the star player
on our high school soccer team.
Very debatable.
And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan.
I love this game.
I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty.
Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.
Listen to the away end with Daniel Alarcon and John Green on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The clout shit is all the way bad, but let me tell you something, the clout, always been the clout.
These cops, they locked me up one time.
They came to my house six in the morning.
It was all the set.
by the way.
I beat the case.
Right?
So they come,
no, no,
I'm just being honest with you.
I know they set you up.
I know.
No, the guy got beat up
by a bunch of Spanish dudes.
Had nothing to do.
She wasn't,
I'm in the VIP with my wife.
Somebody come see me the day before
and says,
yo, the guy,
remember the guy who got beat up?
At BB Kings,
you was a sucker, too.
Whoever you is,
you was a sucker, bro,
like a prime time sucker.
So they say,
yo, he won $50,000
in the brown paper back.
He says you beat him up.
I had nothing to do with them with my wife and her friends in the VIP.
They come six in the morning in my door.
Boom, boom, boom, jersey.
Mr. Carter Gina come with us.
You robbed the guy at BB King.
You beat him up.
When I tell you, I had nothing to do with it, Jada.
So I go to the precinct.
So the cops come.
This is why I'm explaining to you.
The cops come regular, I mean, hoodie detectives.
So I'm in there.
The thing, you know,
obviously he pointed me out.
He had a girl point me out.
She was like, and to think I was a fan.
Like, now, this shit was all a set up, right?
The more to the story is about six hours later,
they go to take me to send you booking.
The same cops walking with fresh haircuts, suits,
brand new badges.
That's when I knew.
I said, oh, shit, the police went the cloud.
They walk in like you.
You got a famous picture like you walking out the prison.
them nickas couldn't wait.
They still jerking off to the picture.
2026.
Like, yo, this is when you got the cops
trying to get the cloud walking you out?
But you have to...
Yo, this is crazy.
You have to understand the climate...
The level of cloud out here.
The president of the United States
is tweeting that he's happy.
People are dead.
Like, literally like...
He's tweeting that what?
One of the guys, he was like the head of the FBI
something, he died.
And he tweeted like, yeah, yeah, I'm glad.
dead. Now he stopped harassing
innocent people. Like he was investigating him at some
point. I was sitting there
like, yo, his Gemini knows no
bounds. Like he just... Who Trump
is a Gemini too? Like, y'all guys?
Yeah. I never knew that. Yeah.
Every time I try to figure out Jada
kids, I think I go into the
Rami package. You know that
shit. Every time I try to figure
out Jada kiss, because he's some work.
I don't think I'm just some work.
He's some fucking work. I go
into the Rami catalog. I said, why?
acting like that.
Maybe, you know,
why Remmy would act like this
right now?
Okay, let me figure this out.
I'm changed, thankfully.
I've changed.
I'm going into my mobile era.
I'm tired of paying people.
I'm tired of getting sued.
I'm tired of going to Central Buckins.
Like, you know, they do it a little nice and that.
I don't go through the bookers like I used to,
but they come and get you.
Like I'll say, they walk you through the side.
Either way, you're selling the bookings.
and don't be confused.
You're still under arrest.
And I just, I just don't,
I feel like they taught us wrong.
You know, we all grew up.
We all grew up thinking like,
oh, you got to be the toughest,
you got to be the hardest.
And when it comes to the matters
that actually matter in life,
the people that you need to be cool
and to get certain people,
they don't want the toughest person.
They don't want, they meet.
They're little sheep.
They don't want to let a wolf in here.
And if you come in there,
even when I come to now,
till the day,
people like,
Ramshy,
we see it,
but we know Remi Ma's somewhere in there.
Nah,
she ain't in there no more.
She's in there.
She's a mom.
She's in there.
For sure.
For sure.
But I'm trying to say
you don't like that shit no more.
Just because I don't like it,
just because I don't like it,
and just because I don't want to be
that doesn't mean,
you always got to stay on point.
You could drop me off.
Anything can happen today's tomorrow.
You drop me off in the hood.
I'm going to be good.
I'm okay.
I'm not that.
Where I'm at, Bill, Prison, Beirut, Africa, stuff.
I'm going.
I'm going to figure it out, for sure, 100%.
I do not know where I was at.
I think I was in Miami.
Bell Harbor, something I took the elevator, the door open.
It looked like a guy that it could go down with.
Like, you know, it looked like he could be a problem.
In Bell Harbor, the nicest place in the world.
The door open, I'm by myself.
I see the guy.
Something rubbed me wrong.
I said, oh, shit.
And then I realized he walks in, I walk out.
I said, yo, this shit can get popping anywhere.
Mm-hmm.
Anywhere.
Like, you know, I'm at Bell Harbor, you know, about to eat some steak and sushi and shit and chill.
And the door opened.
And I said, okay, this guy, me, you know, because you can tell when people don't like you.
You know what I'm saying?
You got that, nah, real talk.
You could tell when people got a vibe like, it's a vibe about him that you just like, all right, you know.
How about it?
like you eat.
I'm supposed to say,
I'll be okay with people.
I can't.
I can't.
Go ahead.
I'm waiting.
I'm sitting here.
It's so nice a he-he-ha-ha.
What?
Why am I here?
What are we doing?
What's going on?
What are we talking about?
Time you saying.
Jay, they got the nice nails old polish.
You got something to ask this woman that she?
I'm here for the people.
Y'all over here promoting binding.
I've never promoted in violence.
You talk about really death.
I've never been moved out.
Listen, all I can say is with you,
because you got everything going on.
You capitalizing and conquering land
and having your network and
doing shit. I call it doing shit.
You get money and you living life beautifully
and you, you know what I mean?
You're handling business.
How are you gauge when to make music
and release music?
Is it when you get pissed off?
Is it just?
When you hear something you like, is it when you're hearing a bunch of shit you hate?
So when it comes to music, and it's sad because music is, that's my baby.
That's how I got here.
I tell people it's time like hip-hop is the most amazing stepping stone ever.
You stand on that drone, you be an actor, you be an owner of a network,
you have a hair company, you have coffee.
All this is just because you know how to rap good.
because let's be clear,
the ones that don't really know
how to rap that good
they don't really
never really pan out for them.
I had a conversation
with somebody when they was like,
I don't know,
I thought rappers are dumb.
I was like,
not the good ones.
All the good ones I know,
not only they're extra smart,
they're funny.
They have a,
they could be borderline comedians
and they're really smart.
The whack ones,
yeah, they're dumb.
They're not too intelligent.
But I feel like
when I realized,
I just used to want to be
the nicest.
I used to, I go up, listening to you,
listening to, ask, listening to...
That answer right then to cut you off is the answer that
is the perfect answer.
And if you asked these so-called MCs,
they will never give that answer.
Yeah, I just wanted to be the best.
Yeah, I just want to be the nicest ever.
Like, once people were like, yo, Bram really got it,
I was cool.
Anything after that, I was cool with it.
If I make some bread off of it, cool.
If I'm able to put out another project cool,
but when you start doing other things
and be clear, I know my pen goal,
I am being nicest.
None of these chicks and most of these dudes
can't touch me when it comes to the draft thing.
But it's a gamble.
And when you know you nice
and you're gambling with your talent,
it's frustrating.
When you start doing other things
and seeing how much more money
you can make, guarantee money.
Like, I know for a fact,
my check is going to be there.
I know for a fact it's going to clear.
I'm not worrying about sales.
I'm not worrying about sales.
about getting on the road is going to be there.
When you start realizing that you can take your other talents
and make just as much,
if not more money,
unfortunately,
your love and the music,
it takes a backseat.
I think it might have fucked up the game, though.
Because me and him,
other than we doing this show,
I don't know what he's doing,
right, but this is my job.
You're a fucking liar,
because I just spoke to Dre yesterday.
He told me you got a fucking boy.
Why are you lying?
You're lying.
Listen.
What?
What?
You was about to say, you know, this is, he was about to say and tell me, this is my, this is my job.
This is my job.
I just sent him a beat the other day.
I just sent him some shit the other day.
That's crazy.
So he's about to wrap.
And Dre just told me 24 hours ago, yo, crack ain't let you.
I said, no.
I said, oh, he hide.
So outside of the one instance.
That's just when I got a day off.
This is like, this is secondary for me.
Now he has a day off.
I think that's what they get asked.
This is secondary for you?
It's my job.
I call it one B.
I like calling one B.
But rapping.
1A all forever today.
Mail me to the winner.
One A.
But like she said,
after people like us find out of what,
you got all the type of shit.
Everybody.
Yeah, yeah.
I just seen a T.S.
Westwood.
stupid I'm a stupid day.
I need my T.S.
I shit hard.
I ain't.
I shit hard.
When you...
I told slow, y'all.
What you said could happen, though, if it...
Once people start realizing
the real bags is elsewhere,
then you don't want them to...
If you think about it...
Well, it's not necessarily that it's elsewhere
because you have some people
have who have been able to capitalize
and then music both.
But there's this other particular group of people
that they don't get it.
I don't care how nice you are.
How spiritual, lyrical,
miracle put them all together.
Like, when you get to the point
and it's not creating income,
it's not creating revenue,
you're in your 40s, maybe 50s,
and it has not hit.
Like now, what do you do?
And sometimes when it comes to those people,
they don't know how to take it.
Like, you see how you're like,
oh, it's 1A, 1B,
because you have the option to have that.
Joe has the option to sit here,
on his couch. He could go do Rwine. He could go sitting up in YC. He can go worry about some
other property shit he got going on. And then if he decides to have one of the biggest producers
in the game that happens to be our brother, send him something. He'd go on the studio, then he can.
He can do it as he choose. Some people, they don't have that liberty. He's really in that
studio every day, every night trying to make a hit, hoping that it changed their life.
And some people's life is just never going to change. Unfortunately, no, I'm not even trying
to be funny. Everybody can't be
a superstar
in music. Every single, everywhere
you go. How hard is it
for you to see stuff online
and all that and just stay quiet
and just, because you've been a real
adult? Well, it depends.
It depends because... She's growing.
She's growing.
She's a...
It's a...
Yeah, it's that...
I'm at the house, I'm sure.
I'm calling Joe on the way. Like, Joe,
you're going to be mad before they call you and tell you,
I'm telling you where I'm going, bye, hang up.
Like, now it's more like for me,
when I know the truth, when you know the real,
somebody sitting there talking lies about you
saying that you're a certain type of person
and you know that's not you.
I'm not arguing with you about who I am
because I know who I am
and not for now you know who I am.
You can lie to all the people that all you want.
Now, when it gets to the point...
I don't think it's fair.
I don't like when that...
when it's displayed on the cyber world.
What you mean?
Like relationship?
Well, it's never going to be.
They don't care.
So here's the thing.
But it's uncontrollable to avoid it.
You can't control it.
And also, you can't want people, want the praise and the love with shit good.
And then with shit bad, shit bad, you got to take it.
You got to take it.
You got to take it.
The motherfucker go to the hospital for a flu and throw the camera on your praise for me.
Pray is my issue.
Pray is up.
Like, yo, my man, get the, if you don't get the fuck up out of here, my man.
I don't know how to argue on the internet.
Like, I don't, I'm not arguing with nobody on the internet.
I'm not going back and forth.
Because I am going, as soon as you say, though, or post the one thing that I'm at your doorstep.
Also, nine times a lot of ten, I probably want to do something to you anyway.
And I don't want a track record.
So I'm talking about, talk to yourself, say which I want, create whatever and average.
Man, they shit on me all day.
Everybody in the world.
In real life.
In real life.
And I'm not saying.
his acting like I'm the toughest because I went to prison.
I'm just, when I tell you nobody
disrespects me. Like in real life, I have it.
I have a great life.
But when I tell you nobody, and it's not because
because I never get disrespected, Jane.
It's not because of who.
My brother is.
No on the end of the internet.
No, no, it's not because of who my brother is.
Not because of who I'm with.
I've always got respect because of me.
People respect me because of me.
And not just because.
I'm saying you should respect
but I give respect
I'm not just a disrespectful person
I don't just like this I realize
it took me years to realize
what people think you are
is what they go by
so there's times
where perception
where people think you are
that's where they go up
it's been times I walk into situations
and I felt the energy
when I woke in the room
like oh okay I see what's up
by the time I'm going
everybody loves me
because this is no
why would you not love me
I'm actually fire.
But I just feel like when people are lying.
I ain't fucked by the time I leave,
they're like, damn, that was a great guy.
Your natural reaction is to be like,
that's not what happened.
This is what happened.
But I realize if you just do this,
it ain't a little while.
People start saying for this stuff.
You don't even go to say nothing.
I don't want to talk.
I don't have to talk.
I don't have to say nothing.
And those who can't understand anything,
then maybe it's not.
nothing. You can't fool all the people all the time. You can fool some of the people,
some of the time. And I got one of my men. Not all the people all the time. I got one of my
jewelry. Yeah, you can fool some of the people, some of the time. You can fool some of the people
all of the time. You cannot fool all the people all the time. It just doesn't work like that.
I got one of my best friends came to me. He's like, yo, one of our other breast friends is talking
the bottom or former best friends
talking about him. He's like,
yo, all I did. No, no, I'm talking
about family shit. I'm just speaking in general.
One of my men's,
one of my best friends came to my house
the other day. First of all,
if he comes to my house, he's one of the
beyond close ones, by the way.
So he's sitting down, y'all, you
believe such as such as talking about me
and this and this and that. And, you know,
after everything I did for him
and how I looked out and this and this and that.
And I hear him struggling
with it. I'm like, yo, bro, listen,
it's going to get even ugly.
Like, you know, I've looked out for people
and they dead ass, don't went on camera.
We're like, he never gave me nothing.
And I'm like, Joe called me ugly.
We'd be on the phone.
Mind you, we only fake, we only talk on face time.
Joe calls me on a regular call. I'm worried.
Something's happening. Why are you calling me record?
We only talk on FaceTime. Bonnet.
Chest airs out. That's how we talk, right?
So he's on the phone, right?
He said, he was like, since I'm the only one you like call your body.
Right?
Yeah, that's right.
But anyway, so you have, he would call me and he'd be upset.
He'd like, yo, I gave them this and I bought a new house and I got a new car.
And he was behind in the child support.
And I used to, in my favorite line, I tell, I say it.
It's like one of my models.
People don't want what you give them.
They want what you got.
It's so funny because I hear people say it now.
Say that down slow.
Say that slow.
People don't want what you give them.
They want what you got.
So you can give them in the house.
But you go, you go, you go get a new car.
The same person that you just bought a house,
they say in there like, well, I ain't giving a new car.
You pop out with the new, new jury on,
just change your setup.
I call this nigga, walk around with a new job.
I got the same.
Oh, it's mine.
So you have to come to a point.
I have to really tell them one day.
You sat down.
I said, Joe, you don't own nobody nothing.
You don't own nobody nothing.
Your kids are grown.
Everybody who's coming to you are grown with kids that are grown.
I don't ask my brother for anything.
I don't come to borrow no money from him.
I don't come to help you.
I got this crazy.
People always got the craziest ideas that involve your money and their idea.
I don't come there for that.
You don't owe nobody nothing.
Don't let nobody make you feel like you owe them.
Don't make, let nobody make you feel like you don't deserve what you have.
We don't know how long we're going to be here.
We have one life.
What's the craziest shit
friend or family member
an idea they had
they wanted you to invest in?
What's the craziest idea you ever heard?
Oh,
I go.
I wanted me to invest in a gambling spot.
I said.
You mean gambling with the word of it being gamble?
Yeah, I'd rather not.
Nah, you could be like the house.
Oh, you want me to be the bank
For your gambling.
So you're okay.
Yeah.
What was one of the...
All type of shit.
Food trucks.
Gambling spots.
Insane.
You don't go in the middle and be like,
you don't think you should ask them for that right now, God.
No, you know, here's my thing.
I think when...
So here's...
I feel like us, you know, where we come from,
that's the thing with us.
Because I don't see somebody who goes to work,
nine and five. I have this argument to say, yo, you went to such a such concert,
you ain't take me or you. I would like, so if I had a regular nine to five, right,
and we had an office Christmas party, you wouldn't come. You wouldn't come. I'm not going to be
at work in my office. You're sitting in a coffee break room. You're not going to, so let's treat,
this is my job at the end of the day. So no, you're not coming. It's not a big party.
We're not doing that, but you have people that be upset. I had a former friend tell me,
you know, you ain't never take me, you know, I was never had no video.
shoots. I never, you know, went to any of the parties and this and this.
Like that's crazy to me. You really wronged them.
But listen to me. I said, right. She had never been in any video shoots, never been in
the studio with me, nothing. I said, but you were inviting to my baby shower. You were
invited to my wedding, my house warming, like the regular barbecue that I have at my house.
Real love. The things that matter.
And they don't realize that.
Because that doesn't matter.
Because they're somewhere telling somebody else.
I know Jada kiss.
I know bad Joe.
Well, why you wasn't at his party then?
Why you wasn't on Joe and Jada then?
If you know him or if you know him, why you work in two jobs?
That's your friend?
He working two jobs.
I have to explain to something.
Like one of my friends that I, like most of my friends that I have that's not in the industry
are my friends that I did time with.
Like those became my real friends because they were my friends when I
didn't use all the same boat.
You know what I'm saying?
So one of my friends, she had came to me and she had gotten into an argument of somebody that we used to say,
it's like, yo, you'd be going mad hard for her.
She don't even fuck with you like that.
You got two jobs.
She should put you in position to this.
And she was like, I said, you want me again?
She's like, I didn't really know how to explain it to them.
But I was just like, she's on something like, fuck you.
I don't care.
That's my friend.
That's it.
I said, explain it to them like this.
I met you when we were incarcerated.
I was 26 years old.
You know how many friends I had before I got to you?
You know how many family members come?
cousins, nieces, this is before I get to you,
if I'm saying nobody has to work because you know me,
you don't got to work, you don't got to do that,
you get to drive the best cars of it, the best neighborhood.
Before I get to a girl that I met when I was incarcerated,
I got so many other people to get to before I get to them.
Like, it's just never going to happen like that.
It just doesn't make sense.
And you got people that's out here that really think like that.
They feel like if you are a celebrity and if you make money or you rich,
anything that happens to you, you deserve it.
If somebody attacks you, oh, well, you shouldn't want to be famous.
Oh, it's horrible.
You get penalized for being famous.
It's horrible.
You're not allowed to have real feelings.
You're not, oh, you respond to somebody else.
She must ain't got no work.
She got time.
No, I've seen yours because you're the only one out of the 2,000 comments that's popping shit.
So, yeah, yours stood out.
Now I'm a bomb on you and now you block.
Took all of 10 seconds out of my life.
I didn't lose a contract.
I don't lose nothing.
So wow you out.
See how I just turned into the regular
I mean right there?
No, because
I did it too.
I answered the bum niggas
and then everybody get bad at me.
Yo, you know, this, this stuff.
But that's what
the disrespectful bums of the world
are banking on.
They're hoping that they can disrespect you.
No, no, no, no.
They don't want a response.
They're hoping that they can disrespect you,
continue to disrespect you,
and that either you or someone around
who's going to say,
don't respond to them.
They beneath you
But in their world
They're good in their world
And they're big fish
Like I really had somebody tell me
Somebody who is nobody to me
Nobody
They're more lit
You more lit than me
Because you're a clown
You're a clown
Like me
I'm the type of person
Don't talk about me
I've called blogs before
Like yo
Take that pose down
They were like
But we were saying something good
I don't give a fuck
I don't want you talking good about me.
Don't talk about it.
Don't talk about it.
Don't talk about me, period.
Because you think, because you post something good about me,
yeah, it's cool.
So now when you come next week and post some fuck shit,
you're going to be like, well, you just say nothing when you're posting that.
I know type of time I mean, take me off your page.
I don't get it.
I don't get it.
Before you run into me in a bathroom somewhere.

Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.
You might have seen the skits, the reactions,
my journey from basketball to college football,
or my career in sports media.
Well, somewhere along the way,
this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.
And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.
This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes,
creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.
One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment.
And the next, we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music.
The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast.
It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told,
and for people who are chasing something bigger.
So if you've ever supported me
or you're just chasing down a dream,
this is right what you need to be.
Listen to The Clifford show on the IHeard radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Do you remember when Diana Ross
double-tap Little Kim's boobs at the VMAs?
Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people.
I know what you're thinking.
What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim?
Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast.
I'm Sam J.
And I'm Alex English.
Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down,
and try to make sense of how we survived it.
Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill,
waxing all about crack in the 80s.
To be clear, 84's big to me, not just because of crack.
I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know.
I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack.
So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.
We also have AIDS on the table right now.
Thank you for finishing that sentence.
I don't think there's a more important year for black people.
Really?
Yeah.
For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.
Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm John Green.
You may know me as the author of The Fault and Our Stars.
And now, I guess, also is the co-host of The Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast.
I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer in Jersey.
and John and I have known each other since we were kids.
My first World Cup was Mexico 86.
I was nine years old.
I watched every game and I fell in love.
On our new podcast, The Away End,
we'll share with you the magic of international football,
all leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
For us, soccer, football,
is a story we've shared for over 30 years
since Daniel was the star player
on our high school soccer team.
Very debatable.
And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan.
I love this game.
I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty.
Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.
Listen to the away end with Daniel Alarcon and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Rem, how many years you've been with me, Ram?
Uh, 29.
Have you ever seen a single human being play me pussy in your life?
It was this one time, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was this best, I'm going to tell you, the closest ever, right?
The closest ever, never, ever playing pussy.
That one time we was in Miami.
And we were surrounded by 300 niggins, for real?
Oh, yeah, is it 330, Ram?
Okay, it was about...
No, it was about 150 minutes at least.
For real, it was a lot.
And the most notorious niggas to ever live in...
The United States of America.
Joe's about six weeks.
He's four or something.
This guy's about five inches taller than Joe.
He's about the color of his pillow.
The only thing you see is the white of his eyes.
And he's grilling Joe like this, right?
And Joe's standing there, Joe like this.
In my head, all I'm saying is don't look away.
Because whoever look away versus pussy, do not look away.
You better not look away.
This is what I'm saying in my head, Joe like this.
Nigger, looking at him.
This shit probably went on for about three seconds.
In my brain, it felt like an hour.
we were standing there.
I don't know where God sent these two police angels from.
I didn't know where these two cops just walking.
All right, guys, break this up, split it up.
I was just happy because it was not going to end well for us.
We were definitely outnumbered.
But I felt good in my heart that...
It wasn't going to end well for them.
My brother, who he thought he was in something up, didn't look away.
I was like, that's right.
We do not look away.
I don't care.
We got staring down to the end.
Like, they ain't blinking nothing.
So, no.
I've seen that story I tell all the time.
The guy was like seven feet cocked.
Yeah, I was there.
No, I was in jail one time.
Oh, that guy.
Drew was waiting for me.
His arms was like a wrestler.
Like Jim, this guy was so,
I looked there to me, tried in front of me.
I said, my man, are you,
do you know who you trying to see?
You're going to need a hundred more of you.
Like the nerve of you.
Are you?
Me?
Are you?
I was actually shocked.
That was like, yo, I'm shocked.
You're trying to talk to me.
But, no, I thought you were talking about that night.
Yeah, with the BMF dudes.
Oh, yeah, in Miami.
It was crazy.
So his, but some people watch this and be like, that's dumb.
That's how you get injured.
That's it.
Me, knowing my brother, and we have the, we're cut from the same floor.
The pain that I would be in, knowing that I let somebody punk me, me knowing.
I don't care if nobody's there.
It's me.
and the one from me, me knowing that I let you get away with that,
I can't sleep.
So we might as well just,
we might as well just shake this shit up.
Stop moving to furniture now.
They were chasing your favorite rappers down the strip all over.
You heard of it?
You keep talking about it.
They were chasing all your favorite rappers.
It wasn't chasing.
No, they wasn't.
Who the fuck was they chase?
Man, it was bad out there.
It was a sad day for hip-hop.
Let me tell you some.
I had a couple of sad days.
for hip-hop where I looked around
and I was the only guy
I swear, yo, I'll tell you a quick story.
Never quick story.
No, I don't talk about these kind of things
because I'm affiliated with some really dangerous people
and a lot of shit happened
and they helped all type of people.
I see no type of shit happen.
To executives, artists,
so-called gangsters, drug dealers, kingpits, ladies.
You ever seen something happen to me?
No.
This is like that happened to, Joe.
No.
Did you ever see anything happen to me?
No.
What I'm saying is, all right.
So we're going to.
So we could.
And that and that and, and there goes what I'm talking to.
It's no, nobody ever did anything to me in this music industry besides words.
So it's no example.
Or in regular.
But that's, I haven't had a physical, a nigga ain't.
It been so long.
I didn't even got.
I don't.
That's how I feel.
Nah.
But I'm telling me.
And I'm outside.
Everywhere.
I'm outside.
Y'all see me.
Everywhere.
What we're talking about?
It's me.
Let's talk about the Yankees.
Let's talk about the Knicks.
Let's talk about life.
But I don't even, I think, I think we've all been blessed enough to make it to where we are now.
I never thought.
But the reason I brought that up is why I'm telling you is I'd be looking sometimes very, I don't know more.
I had a name for them too and shit so we don't say it.
Scott Rizzie, you got to use the bathroom.
Sky Rizzi.
No, no, they got a new one, Trimfire.
Trim fire.
Y'all kiss, Trimfire moment.
But I look at the blogs.
And dudes be talking, man, reckless in the blogs.
Like, like, yo, if I saw a homie, I just, I don't know where that comes.
Once I see anybody making any type of physical threat on social media,
I automatically think you're pussy and you're not going to do nothing.
Either it's either two things.
It's either you're bad shit crazy and you want to go to jail
and you're just leaving a record of it.
So when you do it and they come back and they come back and they can be like,
we only got to go to trial right here.
You said you were going to do it.
Or somebody did it too.
Or you don't plan on doing nothing because why would you do that?
Why are you sitting here?
Like what possess you?
somebody got you so mad that you went on it.
And when I catch you and when I see you,
I send something like that to your personal phone,
but I would never put nothing like that when it ended.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
And most of the time, it never happened.
You see the follow-up video a couple of months over
where they was in the same place
and someone came and said,
this is not worth it, and they squashed it.
Like, that's nuts.
All the time.
Like, all the time.
I know people who literally was,
doing something, knowing that they never had nowhere to,
this person was the last person they ever wanted to run into on the quiet street.
It was spoken crazy,
but they felt comfortable doing it because they knew nine times out of 10,
if and when they ever ran to this person,
it was probably going to be somewhere in a type of setting like this,
where somebody's going to have enough or a little bit of the sense to be like,
chill, don't do that, yo, y'all, y'all can talk, come over here, whatever.
Fortunately, you know, unfortunately, unfortunately,
some people don't really be on it like this.
Some people's like, yo, okay, you said that one, stand on it.
Don't think we could come later and piece it up
because now, unless you plan on apologizing or piecing it up,
the same thing you were disrespecting me.
50 cent going to have to fight like 18 people or something, right?
First of all, non-times of us, the people he'd be arguing is never even going to,
they're not even in the tax bracket to be in the rooms that he'd be in.
That's one.
And if they happen to be in the same place, he's in there moving how he's supposed to move?
like a super rich mogul that he is.
Yeah, everybody talking all crazy,
but they be running around with a second.
Do you see what's on my arms?
Do you see, why would I be standing in this hole in the wall
waiting for you to come over here
because you can't possibly think you're just going to come over here
and do something to me?
Yeah, they do all that and they be having the security.
I encourage anybody.
Anybody, whatever your profession is.
I don't think that's the issue no more.
Right.
In the day, you used to say, no security and all.
People still be trying to pull that car.
You got security.
If you are worth more.
No, if you're worth anything.
Security than a $7 million bail.
Or not even that because I just feel like if you have anything that you feel is worth anything,
you are supposed to protect it.
And in both situations, we are the brand.
Why would I let your bum, dusty, dirty, peeling back cute, cool ass near me?
You're never going to touch me.
See, that thing right there, y'all just.
talking about what styles had a big problem with.
What?
What?
You stabbing, they're shooting,
and they're doing all that.
It was costing them money in jail.
To you start eating plants.
You start figuring out.
I don't even think, you know what it is?
And I love styles.
Like, I went to his suspension.
Still finding, the less violent.
The problem with some of us,
and I'm not going to say,
but someone like a styles,
we grew up different.
We grew up where you can't just say you're going to do something to somebody and then see them and don't do it.
You can't threaten people.
You can't even, you can't even really come in my space and disrupt what I got going on here because who you're talking to?
Who you talk?
And then, but we live in an era where people don't care.
I know for a fact that there are people who know, if you go up to Fed Joe or you say X, Y, Z, it's probably not going to end well.
He's going to, he's going to react.
there's certain people that I know I might walk up to
and I say this and they ain't going to do nothing.
So they come hoping like, I know he's going to do that.
I hope you do just enough so that I could get some money out of it,
but I don't think he's going to kill me.
You know how many lawsuits Mike Tyson paid for?
Mike Tyson might have been 50.
Because why are you playing with Mike Tyson?
Yo, like, why are you playing
and act up, listen to me.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
You, talk to people all the time.
Stop playing with.
Right.
Stop playing with real niggas.
People be out here playing with real niggas.
People be out here playing with people that really,
they're not playing with you.
They're not used to the disrespect.
They're not used to the internet.
He-hi-ha-ha shit.
And it's going to be an issue.
Like, I believe, I'd be sitting in my Christmas and time,
like, I should turn this shit up.
And then I'll be like, you know what?
What I'm going to do is make another nobody lit.
All I'm going to do is get somebody who probably wouldn't have been able to go on that
trip.
Natty on the trip.
I literally paintings and watch them.
Every now.
Every now.
On trip with my bread, like watching them.
If right now, I have an argument with a dude coming outside this building.
Yes.
And they film me.
All of a sudden, Pedro becomes famous.
Somehow he's arguing with Joe.
He's something nice.
Oh, absolutely.
I did the two to four.
Sing Sing, banged out with the guards.
You know, my man, you know, body.
Right?
But we got to be careful because somebody can get us.
upset. So, you know,
I see you run down the stairs.
Nobody knew who the fuck they
was. They was living in their fucking corner,
Krusty House Ian Romano's. Now they lit.
Because you said something to them.
I don't understand that. It's so crazy. It's happened
to me before. With music, no,
it's happening. With music,
right? Let's get back to the
regular schedule program. With music.
Where you at with your music?
Are you ever coming out with music?
Are you like,
you? You listen to it with you.
I mean, all right, so here's the thing.
She's working right now.
Here's the thing.
I might be the, I used to clown Drey from Cool and Drey for this
because Ray had the most amazing award-winning album for like 20 years.
That's never come out.
He keeps taking it like, y'all put it out.
It's fire.
It's crazy.
He'll take another song out, put a new one in.
Take another one out.
I've been doing that.
But see, mine's a little bit different.
That's good.
But prior to COVID,
everything was lined up to go.
I decided to have my daughter
and have my daughter that pushed things back.
I thought it was only going to push it back
a couple of months and pushed it back about two years.
Pushed it back about two years and then COVID happened.
So that added like another two years.
We come out of COVID.
And I just been doing state of the coach in the crib
online cracking them.
Like, oh, hold on, wait.
The music isn't cool, but let's figure out how to get
to this bag away.
I didn't have to lead a crap.
So it's like, we would do shit, me and Joe, we will do shit.
Or I have an urge.
Like, I came here today.
I was in the studio last night.
I had beat something that inspires me.
Or I just think of something.
Like, I feel like as artists, sometimes something, you're like, oh, that's fire.
I got to put that down.
And I feel like it's time.
I feel like it's time.
This year is the 20-year anniversary of my first and only solo hour.
20 years this year.
And I still step on that stage,
shake it with conceited.
We all in this, dude.
Shake it like.
Like, I feel so right.
You know, she gets a big no-no
and she gets upset when I start dancing
at her shows.
Like, we all in it.
Apparently, you don't think I could dance, right?
It's not that.
It'd be a lot of hips going on.
He do this with his lips.
Like, it was only this particular song.
When this song, he does this little hip thing.
you got the lips.
I'm like,
I love that shit.
I'm in his zone.
You see the snap?
You see it hit the snap?
Yeah, I love you too.
I feel like it's time.
A couple of times that I wanted to put music out,
I feel like we were in a different climate.
I felt like it's time to make bitches rap again.
Like, y'all got to start rapping again.
And who else better than me?
Then to be like, yeah, yeah.
You know, I always feel like you're the best female rapist.
Jay DeKis doesn't feel like that.
I'm not in his top five female rappers.
I saw the episode.
How are you going to say that?
I saw the episode.
I'm not in his top five female rappers.
You don't like this?
No, because it's too many of you.
That's strange.
I never felt it hard to put you in my top five.
So, I mean, yeah, it's too many.
You win my top five.
Nah, I'm going to get top five because I'm sitting here right now.
Nah.
Let me, let me, let me, watch the next show.
Y'all don't know this.
You know, my first single ever, Jada kiss was on.
Like, it never came out.
Like, it came up, but it didn't come out.
It was when I was on live.
Records. Right after I started my deal,
remember with Laow, Laow went under.
I had a record. It's called
Monster. And
and Jada was on, it's my
first ever. And Rem got a,
me and Rem always been tight.
And you're supporting the ladies, man.
You just did Angela Renee
Simmons.
You forgot her name.
Just doing anything.
Because I...
This guy's Tracy.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, no, I'm just saying.
You just saying anything.
Yeah, yeah.
How you did 20-something years.
with this guy's crazy.
Really?
He's crazy.
She did call me, ladies and gentlemen,
give me the tutorial.
This is how you got to,
this is what you need to do for the crap.
You're right.
You gave him the Surgeon General.
You gave him the warning or the...
Listen, I said...
When they was doubting and they didn't think it was going to work.
I see my Jim and our brother was having.
I said, listen, you got to get in.
He's not going to let you in.
If you let him, he's going to talk all day.
He's going to tell a story.
It's never a short story.
It's entertaining so you'll get sucked in.
He's very entertaining.
Pause.
Well, I don't know.
I don't think they said girls don't have to pause, no.
You don't have to.
But girls don't got applause?
For what?
They're the ones.
They're the obvious.
It's a great thing.
You want to get sucked in.
When they say, yeah.
That don't work for girls.
I don't support for ladies.
She said something about.
Man, I never noticed the point is only a guy's here.
He wants to post somebody.
He's killing me up here.
You'll be saying, wow, paled.
Yo, you say the most flayed things.
I be sitting in a soon as you, I be saying like, oh, my God.
Hey, look at the throat you in ladies.
Your sister, let me explain, son of you.
Before rap music, I used to tell dudes, no picks, no picks.
No picks.
I was the guy that wasn't jumping in people's picks
because that's how the feds was catching people.
Right.
I tell our stories to us,
but if anybody came up in that studio
that we wasn't cool, we didn't know this is that.
I would not talk in front of them, right?
This poor shit, I ain't never played this in my life
and I got 20,000 flagstone
because of the poor, now I got to be like a poor's catalog now.
I got to watch everything I said, huh, excuse me?
I want to say something, right?
And this is something.
Timberland logo.
Listen, Joe.
Joey.
Joey, I want to say that I'm happy.
I'm happy to see you here.
You get to, I call you doing your graffiti shit, you drawing, you're chilling.
You get to come here, throw all your fly shit on, tell your stories.
His favorite thing is telling stories.
Like, I want you to know.
It's great here because we're in the setting where the camera's on.
He tells these stories at home.
You're not allowed to look at your phone.
Nothing.
He'd be like, Ram.
Ram.
I'm like, I'm just sitting in the text.
He'll wait till your text is done.
You're going to put the phone because he has to have your full undivided attention.
For you to be able to be in the space
and just do something that you naturally do
and get to your bag, I love that for you.
I love you more, but you know who I love?
My God, though.
Baby.
That one there.
She was singing that usher and valet saw him out of fire.
She's different.
I got four pictures of her in my room.
Mabid.
This on here.
She comes in.
And to come to the rules,
Pop, pop,
let me tell you something.
I said,
you got four pitches.
I think you're five.
No,
but what he's not telling me
is they sit on the phone
on FaceTime
and gas each other all day.
Mama, you're so beautiful.
Oh, you know, you're so pretty.
You're so smart.
I'm a pretty good golf, father, right?
And then she goes right back.
Papa, you're so fly.
Let me see your sneakers.
Those are the fly.
Really, mama?
Yes, Papa.
They don't even use their real voices.
I'm in a side vomit like this.
Disgusting.
Like, I can't even talk.
Like, when I threaten like, people are like,
I'm going to tell your father, I'm telling your grandmother.
I'd be like, let me tell your Godfather what you did what you just did.
You know, she comes in my house, she run the whole shit.
She's an angel.
They come in, no bathing suit, no nothing.
They got to go out and buy the bathing suit.
Come back because she want to go in the pool.
her and Lonnie, and they just run shit.
Real bad.
I keep saying that I want to be so rich
by the time she gets 18.
What she's about as he age?
He's ruining my life, guys.
And she could just walk in and be like,
yo, pop, pop, I'm taking the boat.
This guy tells my daughter.
I listen to mommy, but I promise you.
I'm not going to have to work.
I be like, yo, bro, why are you telling her how that?
She has chores.
Go clean them, I'm sorry.
Put the toys up.
Papa said I don't have to work.
Papa not here.
Clean not.
Get up on being problems.
My family, no.
That's part of my shit.
Like, yo, I want to get to the point of where she lived like that she's a fucking
past.
My brother is one of the few real men in the world.
He thinks the woman shouldn't work.
She shouldn't have to pay bills.
Like, he strongly feels like that.
Like, I keep trying and sound like, yo, hook me up.
The fuck.
Like, find the people that think like you.
I'm tired of paying it.
I'm tired of paying forever.
I don't pay the war.
He shouldn't have to win.
This ain't that?
And that is this?
It's cracking kiss, God damn.
Take some noise for Rilly, man.
A win is a win.
A win is a win.
I don't care what I'm saying.
Yep, that's me.
