Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin. And I just, like, really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

give it out. Much love, family, much love family. Mashela, ma'alli, thank my brothers for having me. Yeah, man. We family. Definitely. So sometimes it's hard interviewing family

because there's so much to talk about. We got a line to DJ Callet. DJ Calid put me on in Miami. I was living in Miami. I've been living in Miami for 20-something years. And I used to see you in the clubs all the time. All the time. And then.

the white seven yeah I see him I see him in the car maybe 10 years before you pop it's before you had 88 cards

you know you see them all every pretty much every night we would go out in the clubs I see Ross

and then one day you know that hustling came out and that shit was like rest in peace

this shit court better believe it. Pretty much DJ Callet, he did the Fat Joe on the Rick Ross, like, because he would play Fat Joe 1,000 times, and then he would start playing that. 2,000. 2000.

2,000, 2,000, 1000, hustle, hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling, hustle, there, hustling, hustle, that's all you've heard. That's all you fucking heard. And the rest is, it's just so many layers to you. And I want to salute you for inspiring me, meaning, yeah, I came out before you, but when it comes to the hustle game, like, I've seen you risk your life hustling for the back.

Like, I literally, like, is it true or not? You caught, like, a seizure on the plane or some shit like that? Big time. Rose have a seizure and wake up and just ask, what a smoke at. Yeah? I need the weed. That's all I need.

That's my name. And make sure they ain't no ambulance, tall motherfucker standing over me. That's the only problem there is. Clear the room out, you know what I'm saying? They got the UFOs out now. I'm thinking Wimba Yamba part UFO, that nigga. Wimba, boy, they got the UFOs out. You see that shit, James?

The UFOs is real. But anyway, that's a whole other shit. There we go. Alien or UFOs? Or both. Because you know you can call it Wemby a UFO. No, no, no. They're going to put that everywhere as you lost your mind.

I think I'm DNA alien too now that the truth came out. I might have like 2% if I do it. And cistery dot com. Might be 2% alien. I'm keeping it become too incredible at what I do. Like this shit, we never lose. Like, I got to be part alien. You might be because I saw your name on that list for the rich nigger

pill to live 60 more years too. I'm trying. Hang with them. Your boy, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to live. They got my name on a list like that. On the list. Like, he's trying to live 60 more.

You're going to get the pill to live 60 more years. Yes, I'm going to do it. You know what I'm doing? I swear to God, I'm on the list. Yo, I want to live. You got to be on that list, though. You know what I'm saying? No, I want to be on this.

You want it. You want it. You want to do it. You want to live. You know the trick with the list, right? What? You got to get your family on there. Who else?

Who are you going to be? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you got to give him a little piece of the pill. You know what I'm saying? You got to get a couple of them. Ross comes home. He has something. He was in a hospital very serious.

And for some reason, his first destination, the whole world is your house Ross. He comes to the studio. And it's me, Drey, and him. And he starts playing music and Roskos. So, you know, they call me the greatest storyteller. I don't know if you've been seeing what's going on out here. I love it. Killing these niggins.

I love it. Don't stop. Don't stop. Yiggins is over there like the mother podcasters, they like wadcastes and something. You know what they came with a new word. They're yon-Cast. They're Beyonce. The niggas is wardcasters.

You knickers over there with the Tourettes, right? We throw these niggas. So Ross come up and he got fentanyl. We're looking at, like the niggins. Like the niggins just came out of the hospital two hours ago. Fentino. It's the pure substance comes from the hills sitting alone. The very touch can get, I'm like,

yo, this thing is start telling the fentanyl. Soon as he finished, I start going, Sam Puss, Sam Poo's, Sam Poo's, Sam Poo's. So I start telling the story, I used to throw the samples out to the Feene of the Dope. And I said, damn, and Drey said, yo, y'all going to try to outstory each other in this story. It's crazy.

Niggas got to, man, paint that picture, man. Niggas got to paint that picture to build that bridge to the destination at all times. Even if a nigga land up in the hospital when he can't speak, got the tube down his throat. The mind and the brain won't stop. The ambition won't stop. That won't stop until a nigger heart freeze. I respect that a lot about you, man.

You're a hustlers, hustlers. They don't got guys like you no more. They don't make them. You know, guys, they work like that. They got that work ethic like that. Every time I think I'm working too much, I'm like, yo, Rick Ross would have took that bag. You didn't want out there.

No, real shit. Round bag legends. I'd be like, yo, that is. Brown bag, legend. over there. I think in Dubai, he in the Prince House. The next day he in Chattanooga at a barn. He takes every...

Could you tell us? I know it's probably like a secret. But what is like, you know, like me, if I get money on a certain level, I don't never take from down... I be like, yo, this is my number. This. I see you, you can't get what you're getting in Dubai and the prince.

You know, the grand opening of Carbone, what you're getting in Memphis at a bar. No, no. No, the numbers that, you know, let's say if we go to Dubai, the numbers they give us to go over there is astounding. Then they'll give you another 50,000 to eat some camel meat. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

And then when you come home, if I'm just chilling on a Tuesday, you can put me a little brown bag together, Roselle slide through. Because you got to remember, I'm not just thinking about Rose. I'm thinking about the 30 partnerships I got. So when I'm walking through somewhere, that's sturdy businesses walking through with me. My other 30 partners see us. We stand in a penthouse that's $75,000 a night in Dubai. Then we'll go to a barn in Augusta.

Yeah, I watch it. Talk to these naked's house. The fucking plane broke down. You jumped on another one and went to the fucking, your plane called a flat of some shit. You jump on another plane to the plane. I said this motherfucker, man. He ain't turning down the bag. We flew in, we landed.

It had been raining. So when the plane landed, hit the runway, made the right, the wheel went into the mud. And you got to stop right then because if that wheel go into the, and if it go, if you take off and it fold up,

you can fuck yourself up. So you got to treat it like it's a major emergency. It was mud. So I jumped on another jet. We couldn't miss. the moon yon. Yeah, that boy. You should have missed it.

Yeah, that boy, man. You know, you get some people they get certain amount of money, they just stop or they want to stop. Are they going hiatus? Or they going to, like, like, when you're a hustler, too, you know, I'm not saying you jump in the private

flat jumping on another one. This, you know, Rick Ross, Rick Ross is a different type of animal, but kiss, you Hustle like a motherfucker too. Your kids and your family don't want for nothing. You get them everything they want. You out there bussing your ass too crazy.

You know what I'm saying? But this guy, Rick Ross, what happened? That's a pause? No, no, no. I ain't say anything. My brother, I appreciate the flouch. I never used that word, Paul. Let me know, kiss when I can say it.

No, yeah, it's got. If anybody says it, let me know. No, no, this is the guy right here. He'll show you, Paul. You'll let you know. In every language. Okay, if anything. You got flags right in the tuck.

You throw the flag. The left side, you got some flags. Okay, okay. Somebody say some shit. You're vernacular, you know. No, I'm just saying. Even if it wasn't, you know, I wasn't expecting to come from me, but if any, you know, just let me know. I got you.

I got you. I got you. I got you. I got you. I got you. 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 a lot. 11 generations. That's a legacy. That's the OG status. They were the first to introduce an Anejo. Set the standard before most of these brands even existed. And you can taste the difference for real. The 1800 Cristilino and Respasado is what we've been on late.

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. Pabow. You, boss, I've been trying to get my lines up here.

Like, your shit, it's important. You born with that Billy D. Williams shit up there. Like, your shit, you don't know. When you get a beard, you want your shit. Yeah, you know, like, brick, bro. I'm like, yo, what's up? You know, I don't want the DJ Hallet. You know, my driver came.

My driver came. Damn, I'm like, nah, I'm bugging out with this story. I got to. Hell! Nah, one of my drivers came the nigger had. You know, his beard is, like, small, but he had the fuck. He winded the theory all the way up here, right? He went to the nostrils.

But he had no hair here. So I tell him. What about the guy at the game? Oh, no. That nigger had to control. Yo, let me change something. Yo, niggas got killed by the fault. First of all, you want to go there.

This Rose-A. Leave the driver alone. We go nicks against the Phillies. Somebody got the game had a straight-painted elbow fade. I don't watch football. His shit was crazy. I don't watch football. C.C. Sabathia, New York Nick Legend, Hall of Famer, and Sean Peckos.

Cici Sabatty is a pitcher for the Yankees. Yeah. He's a legend. Legend. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. C.C. Sabatia. I'm telling you a different story. C.C. Sabatia goes to watch the football, the Giants against these niggas.

They chased Tim and Beck out to the sprint of the fans. gonna fuck him up. Yo, give him a, if I see Dominique welcome to Dr. Jay, I ain't going on fun on them. No.

C.C. Sabatia, they chased his ass out of the stadium. We understood that. The price of fame. Because I got the, I got the Philly

I opened my door, and it was like, word the mother fat, yo, suck my dick, nigga. Fuck the Knicks. I said,

holy shit. Yo, on intro, like, this was the first bit of the, I swear to God, nigga, ain't never

tell me that in my life. I see, yo, Joe, it's sports. I go to the door, they won't let me in no intersection, though. No, another door,

this, this, this. I get down there, I start arguing with the white guy who's the nice guy, the white guy who tells you, sir, what's your ticket? You know, they're usually nice. Don't sit down,

don't cheer like, yo, Philly on some shit when it comes to the sports. Legendary, right? Because I've never been, I've never had a problem in Philly my whole careers. my second biggest market shot

like that. The nigger pull up, he's talking about, he had this shit. Nah, that wasn't rewind. That was like Beijing or something. He had this, somebody got to tell him.

Like, if your man's, listen, you know, we see that shit every now and then on Instagram. Yeah, yeah, we caught one in physical view. Real life.

And we're arguing, we're arguing, they had two OGs in front of us look like real dudes. They were sitting right there, you know, and they was like, yo, Joe,

y'all about to go, and we're going back and forth, but I fuck him up. He don't even know the nigga in front of him with the shit. I said, yo, but your man's, like, look at your man. Like, this is who you ride with? Another Philly strand out. I said, look at your man's shit. Your man, they got tight. The mrs got up the woman.

I kept, he wasn't even with them niggas. I was like, yo, but your man's shit. Yo, this is the Philly fan. You know, right with that. You know, right with that. Yeah. No, he left. He was trying to avoid the light. He's embarrassing his family. He kept moving down.

He's embarrassing. So the shit won't melt. He's embarrassing his family. No, the niggins. We're not even... We're not even exaggerating. And this shit was straight. What's the shit?

Spray paint. Yes. Oh, Rich got it. Oh, you got it on tape? But we put it on the clip. But I kept fucking with the dude because the dudes are OG. Look like a hustler.

Real niggas. Two dudes. They had night seats. He tried to start with me. I said, yo, but you man's, though. And he kept... He don't even know the nigga. I just kept saying them.

It made them leave. They all left. Yo, look, niggas got up and left. Niggas is like, yo, we out of here. Yo, he's embarrassed. Yo, this is what this is. That's what it was. This is what you rap.

He embarrassed to sit. He got up. Yo, that nigga don't like me no more. The OG. He probably was like, yo, fuck fat Joe. No, it's a good. The whole Philly don't like us right now.

Fresh off that versus. How was it? Where was y'all out? In the Apple Studio? Apple Studio. I wasn't. The energy looked it like it was nice energy in the building. French, my brother.

That's my dog. You know what I'm saying? So we just went up there and shying together. No doubt. That's what it's supposed to be. Go get a bag. Yeah, go show them your sneakers and your jewels. That's it.

My name major. That's it. Shit, too easy. You know what I'm saying? Man, you got the Renaissance of a boss. How many best sellers? What's this? Number two, three.

Man, this is actually my third release. I got the Young Legend. Neil Beckham in here, the one that actually do to put the pen down when we just having the discussions. Neil, come over here and join us. Yeah, but... Make some noise for Neil, Ben.

You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You already know, my brother, appreciate you coming out. Welcome to the couch, my brother. You know what I mean? But this is the third release right here, the first two bestsellers, and this one right here is just most definitely just me in the free spirit zone.

No doubt. Now, Neil, tell us what it's like sitting down with boss, and then, you know what I mean? He's kicking it, and you got to put that into visualization and also into some good dialogue for people to read. You know, a lot of these rapists can't read. So, Ross was a whole different beast, right? Because my first book was The Gucci Man book,

and he was locked up the whole time. It was a great book. Thank you. Amazing. Very generous. And so, you know, that was done a lot of times over the phone, and you get 10 minutes or where he's in the feds. So the phone time, it was super limited.

But on the plus side, that made it really productive, because when we talked, he only had this time. Then I get with Ross, and I could be living with Ross for six months following him around, and he won't say one word to me. One word to me. No, no, no. That was only for one reason. I told you what it was.

thought you was the fucking feds thought you was the fan yeah he got a shape I thought he was a lot of things you fit so many when you can't no no no you got to realize when you sign a shield

and you get a big check and then somebody new come around and they're sitting there niggas dig you know me I said yo I used to think my wife with the feds

when I met it she was too beautiful for me I said damn they setting me up that's true they gave me a Columbia hold on hold on My nigga. That's a flat.

Here you go, Rose. You're getting it now. For about a good 12 years till I noticed the statute of limitations, she did enough crimes with me. I said, all right, fuck. Yeah. The feds no more.

I thought she was the feds. Yeah. But, so how do you put it in his words? So, look, so this particular book, right, was different from the first two and very different from any book that I've done before, right?

Like, what I'm, to is trying to figure out a story that's already happened. Right. Joe, tell me about your life. Jada, tell me about your life. And I'm getting a story that's already happened. By the third book, I'm like, what else do we have left to talk about? And that's when it kind of becomes like, oh, I'm not figuring out what the story is.

And then we're putting in your words and putting it out there. We're making a story in real time, right? We already talked about in the first two books, everything that are. already happened. We got to make, and that's why this one was so exciting because we didn't even know how it was going to end. It's all unfolding in real time, right? The book starts with him getting a book deal. And it's like, what the fuck are we going to write about? And it's just really just about that process, right? And with Ross, like I said, Ross and I have never one time sat down across from each other, put a recorder on the table, and I ask him a series of questions,

and he gives me answers. That's not how this guy operates. So I just got to be around and absorb it all. I got to be around, absorb it all, just watch and listen, cue the stories. And then afterwards, put it together, we put it together,

we talk about it, we change it. But it's, with him, it's so different. It's, I've never interviewed, you know what I mean?

I've never, I've never said, asked a series of questions, I've just been around and taken it all in. It's therapy. Yeah. He,

He taught you some therapy. Renaissance of a boss, man. Renaissance. I'll tell you what it read like for you rappers that can't read. And for the rappers that can't read, that's fucked up. We got to, you know, reading is fundamental. But for Rose, my first book to me was about me introducing myself, not just as an artist, but on the personal side of who I was for anybody that didn't know me.

The second book was me coming from an entrepreneurial standpoint. me having X amount of partnerships, me invest in this, me, this many franchises, this many this, this many that. This one was more like, yo, I'm 20 summers in the game. How do I continue feeding that fire and allowing it to burn? Not just where I'll be recording music, but actually giving the streets on my field they need. You know what I'm saying? So that's what this book about. You know what I'm saying?

Still waking up every day and still feed that fire. and doing it in a major way and not just winning, but winning bigger than, you know, you could ever really put on the table and expect. Hey, also. Brother, thank you, brother. Yeah, of course.

Thank you, my brother. You, Ross, man, I'm looking at your beard that's so flawless. You got to shave his ears, man. You got to put him on to the mama. Yo, yo, yo, yo. I'm just keeping him a buck with you. What?

What? What's not a flex? Which one? Which was? I ain't know, I missed the flag. He said he got to tell him to shave his ears. He got to shave his ears. No, no, no.

The mustache he had the last time I seen him and scared me. And I told him, I asked him on personal level, let it grow all out. And he did it for me. My brother did. He was his mustache out in his ears. No, that mustache looked like you'd be on Forensic Files episode. You see what I'm saying? We got a mustache.

He ain't here today, but we got a guy that thing. A mustache is a sick one. Yeah, we got a mustache. No, you got a mustache. No, you got to watch them. No, you got to watch them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you got to watch them. Yo, I don't fucking trust that guy.

No, no, no, no. I tell you that all the time. No, no, no. I'm looking at him. You know, the raw mustache is scary and a push icey. Got all the type of tacos and shit in this mustache. Oh, my God. That motherfucker out of here with that shit.

No, key. Raleigh fingers. Yo, I, y'all, y'all, Freddie, what's up, brother. Freddy in the building. Freddy pulled up. You know what I'm talking about? It's my nigger Freddy right there.

You know your man one time tried me. What's my man exclusive game? You don't remember that, huh? I know him. He don't know how I know him. That's what he did. That's nothing. We pay.

Yeah, we do. But one time he told me I was jacking his style. I don't know if he remembers that. I was at a fashion show with him. He said, yo, you've been jacking my style with the, that's a way to be. I had to pull up a rap video 20 years old and show them with the goyard shit all leather from head to...

I said, bro, there's no way I'm... Like, I've been doing this for 20 years... That was 15 years ago conversation I'm having with you. I said, yo, this was 20 years ago, my nigga. I had the goyard. I turned the goyard bags into fucking the whole outfit. I mean, you gotta be kidding me. He thought I was jacking his shit.

He said, yo, man, you know, I've been watching you. You've been jacking my shit lately. I said, Poppy, you got this shit fucked up. I've been doing this shit. It's 88, but you, man, he's a good guy, man. Great guy, great guy. Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet, Florida Sportsbook.

available on all TSN platforms in the IHeart Radio app. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman

help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes.

Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam, it's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game.

His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves. I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nasree. He has to guard Julius Randall.

And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He run up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball like, after you go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out real quick.

Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with Deanna Maria.

Reba, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45.

How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard, you know? Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura podcast network available on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yo, Ross, let me ask you something, right?

Because one thing I never understood. I don't talk to you every day. You know, you never done nothing wrong to me in your life. You know, in fact, I don't even just, I don't know how I could actually say that in reality. They say I cap or whatever they want, but you never did nothing wrong to me in my life. Like nothing.

You've never been a funny style, nigga. You never changed on me. You've never nothing. You've always been the same guy all the time. It just, when I was taken with, I didn't understand the Drake, Rick Ross, Right. Being, y'all have such a catalog together, y'all been together since day one, making hits together, this and that.

Can you explain to me the origins of Rick Ross and Drake falling out? Like, what made you say, yo, fuck that. I'm not rocking with him. Rose was mentioned. I was mentioned. Or you was mentioned first. Facts. Facts.

Oh, so that's how it happens. That's how it happens. You just defended yourself. It ain't even defending. You understand this. Homie mentioned Ricky Rose, and Rosey do what he do best. I go bad.

I've been doing that a long time. I've always enjoyed giving a nigger a spanking if you don't understand what's happening. It ain't that. Rosey was mentioned. Damn, why would he mention Roseanne? I never understood that whole, like, That's one thing.

This show on fire when you get a little man right here, you ask them, what made you mention Rosee, homie? That's it. It's that simple. Yeah, just like I asked you because I was confused. Yeah, that's what it is. What happened? And that's what, and that's what, and that's what, and that's what, and that's what, and that's

no. And that's what, and that's what real ones do. You address it. And it's really too easy. Because I always thought, I always thought he with us. I never even. recorded a song with him but nothing. I always thought, yo.

No. You're Ross. Your run. Yeah. No. Stop. I mean, I said, God. I always thought he was with us.

Like, I'm like, you know, you know, we rock. No, you got to understand. We always, you know, we rock, brohomie. At that time, cash money was in Miami. It was a positive thing we had going in. Callet was the glue. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean?

At that time, when I was doing records like Aston Martin music, that was Rose saying, yo, Cressette, Michelle, gonna do this half of the hook. And I'm gonna get, you know, at that time I got John Legend, the biggest R&B motherfucker in the game at that time on Speedow. You understand? Yo, I'm gonna put John Legend on this one, too. That's Caled in the background. Yo, so little dude, this name is Drake.

Let him do it. You know, and cool. It's John Legend. the time. This, yo, we do it. And it was just a genuine vibe. When it went left, hey, man, that's for them to figure out. I ain't figuring that out.

You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. And shit, it's really small talk to me. Once you mention Rose name, I'm gonna enjoy it. I'mma enjoy coming up. That's just me by the pool, BBL Drizzy. You know, you know, nigger know you had the tummy tuck, the nose reduction on. That shit.

That shit. You're Ross. No, I'm giving you what you asked for. No, I'm giving you what you asked for. Rose can't let you down. Oh, the flag. I can't do that. No, I won't let you down.

No, I won't let you down. Because somebody called me some of Bel-Air. I'm going to give my brother what he needed. Let me ask you. I shouldn't have a question, right? Too easy. Too easy. I know you're a partner in Bel-Aid.

Did you sell some of Bel-Aer? some of the equity or something in the Bel Air? Of course not. So you still own the same. Y'all never sold at all. No, man. Shout out to my big homie, Brett Barish, man. So you're not like building a brand

and then you sell it and then you... So that never happened. Not yet. No. Once you tap out, you go somewhere and you go and create something and start building something new. You ain't going to sell it and shit.

Keep going. Yeah. I said soul is soul. You know what I'm saying? We still Luke Bellet. And I've seen the new yacht. You was like, I know it's hard to explain. No, it's hard.

You know, I get it. I get it. That's why I think the writers might be the fairs and something. I get it. I get it. You know, I get it. I'm a little sage fright. I'm going to be honest with you.

Like I got, you know, I live in a, you know, I got a couple of properties. Let's be clear. Right, right, right. I live in a big house. The wife won a bigger one, right? And I'm getting a little, for no reason. I'm getting a little stage fright. Get it, get it, because the next one is so big,

and it's only two people. I'm like, yo, do we really need some shit? Of course you do. Of course you do. Who talks, Yvette, you don't talk about this. You keep getting bigger and bigger. Go more and more. Yeah, that's the motivation.

Don't do that. Don't do that. My wife see this show. No, this is what I'm trying to change. I'm in the process right now. Bigger? Yeah, I got to go big. Go bigger.

You're all your fault. Mother fuck he's saying. Go bigger. Go bigger, huh? Yeah. That's going to motivate you that much more. That's what it do for me. The house already big, man.

No, no, no. But two people, what are we going to ride scooters in the house? This shit is the slap five. You could. This shit too big. Why not? Just go walk around the neighborhood. That's how you do.

You never get stage fight? Never. Remember I was shocked when Cali bought that big ass fucking house. I see, yo, Callet, man. Are you sure? Never. He was like, yo. And Cal is one guy I worry about, which I know not to worry about, but he's one guy.

I check up your, Callet, you all. Because I sit there, didn't he spend so much money. I'm like, yo, how do you do? Like, I know, you know, we all get money, but at least I think of my little. limitations, right? So I'm like, there is no limitations. There is none.

You know what I'm saying? By the watch, Rich. Yeah, by the house, Rich. By the house? Yeah. By the house, rich. I bought my crib for. I'm going to buy that house because of Ross.

Yeah. And I'm going to put Ross's name in the house in one of these fucking boys. I'm going to believe it. No, no. No, hey. Hey, this is you. That.

It's you convince me. By the crib. The power. No, by the crib. I bought my crib for $37 million. I put 25 more into it. Before it was done, I had two offers off the rip for $100 million. Just stop what you're doing.

But my neighbor right across the street is spending $1.5 billion on his crib. His name is Ken Griffin. He bought 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 knocking everything down. It's a great investment. So my career would be worth, I'm sure, easily $350, $400 million in two or three years. For no reason. It's called comp. I've been trying to fight the power.

Do it. Do it. You know, I meant to throw in the bag. I tell them all day. I put the bag, I don't give a fuck. That ain't blowing the bag, though. You ain't blowing the bag. That's a blowing the bag up.

No, blowing the bag. something totally different. That's when you're fucking the money up. When you're getting in the real estate in Miami is the hottest motherfucking place in the world. They could build them cars. They can't build that corner no more. They got to buy that corner.

They got to buy that lot. Right now they got a house. She tried to make me buy that shit. He got a hundred bodies. He served a hundred lives. That shit makes me feel like, damn, I'm going to have to go back to Africa, China, Egypt.

now I'm good. Right? On my crib, I got money in the bank. I'm so good. And that's she going to put me back on that. Yo, fat Joe, hustler of the year. Yo, could we do George Nita? Nah, that nigga in Antarctica.

Doing the show for some fucking Eskimos because he got to pay that trigger. Go get it. Go get it. That shit right there. Go get it, man. I'm telling you, go get it. Ricky Rose ain't going to tell you no more. You know all that shit Uncle Dan be like,

yo, my fingers feel like I need to be in the air. You got me hype right now. It's she got me hype right now. My palms are it. I say, yo, I got to go for it. You know what I said? Fuck it, right? Because I look at this.

Like, when you pull up the fat Joe crib, you want to feel like, when I say, me you say, yo, Rossentire, you don't pull up to the crib. When you pull up, you'll be like, all right, it's fat Joe crib. Like, you're supposed to open the gates, pull in shit a mile long, shit big. I'm going to tell you how I,

I'm going to tell you how I think. though, that don't define the nigger money now. That's just like me. When I'm standing on the outside of the ocean, you could see some of the richest motherfuckers in the world pull up in a boat that short. So you know what I'm saying? I don't look at it like who got the biggest boat,

got the most people, because it'll be a motherfucker like King Griffin. I'm talking about worth 60 bees going by just, and I'm like, damn, look at the homie right there. And he just... He in the paddle, he and the canoe. Oh, man, some small shit. In a little canoe.

like that. And this is a motherfucker who own a 300 foot, you know, and multiple of them. So, you know, the mindset different, but I just believe in really invest in that shit. Rose ain't going run it. I'm going to run it. I'm going to throw the dice. Yeah, yeah. You definitely do. You definitely

throw the dice. I've seen you do shit. Your life is so amazing, Ross. No. I live vicarious to you. I see you. I said, man, if I was single, I'd be living like Rick, bro. man.

I mean, looking at you. I said, man, I'm going to let's angle. I said, this be a fucking problem out here in these streets. The big boys would be tearing this shit up. We got to.

We got to. I'm nice and home on that couch. Right? My graffiti, minding my business. I'm minding my business. I love it. So, Rose, what's new?

You know, the verses. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like friends doing verses like that. Like, you know, I try to start with Jaru for no reason. They did it the right way. They didn't do it.

I was threatening them and all like. No, but I like to, you know, I'm a sucker for a fight. You know what I'm saying? I already knew French and Ross. I knew what that was. Y'all got like seven songs hits together too. So I was like, I know what that is. That's going to be easy.

When you went out there with dipset, even though you get along with them, you went out there with the venom. They started, man. See? They fucked up. You heard, Russ? They started with you,

my gosh. What did they say to get you like that? Because you were easygoing guy. Why didn't get you? You had to. Why are you doing this? No, no, I'm in the crowd. I'm in the crowd.

You heard everything that I heard. They told me we wasn't from, we wasn't home. It started like that. This ain't your back, y'all. Y'all ain't from your head. It's that. Meanwhile, he's your name with coconut. He's my neighbor and cocaine.

I'm fucking right, man. Shout out to the niggas. They're looking down to Miami. I don't know. When I moved to Miami, New York was so mad. Like, so mad. Why he said that?

There's something to talk about. No. I know how much people want to wish they could move there. That's what I was saying. You know, that's a great investment. Like, you know, it felt like. And you're going back and forth. This guy here, my whole life.

he's the only rapper in New York City. I bumped into Little Wayne at the supermarket more in Miami than I bumped it. He's the only rapper I will bump into he'd be going to the weeds, spots, he'd go to the stick ditch. Other than now, I've never seen the New York rapper in New York. I have it.

I'm sorry, guys. I don't know. Fat Joe is in every bodega. New York rapper stickers out. No, no. I'm telling you fuck going, no. No. They're not in New York.

God, they ain't been outside. They're about to kill you. Niggas ain't that the sneakers spot? This B-Hs going to come crazy. They can do what to do? I eat the oxtails? No. Eat out-steads.

Niggas ain't eating the motherfuckettling. No. Axtel fry rice down in the borough? I'm not saying niggas ain't real. What I am saying is when I drive down 125th, 145th, Brooklyn Districts that it's only me. I'm going to tell you, it's hard for me to believe that. Because for me growing up, when I turned on you,

TV raps. I'm not talking about the TV. Coach the Seif for kids. Oh, no, no, no. Niggas is on the corners. They're coming to the party. No, not the party. I'm just saying bumping into a New York rapper.

It don't happen. That's crazy. And I'm outside. Every bodega, every taxi driver, every anybody you named Jamaican, Spanish joint, they know fat Joe. I'm outside. When I go, I'm going to Miami. Because when you're in Miami, nigger,

When I say I'm in Miami, it was almost like a cemetery, like a nigga died because he was the only one they see on the corner. He's the only one to get out and argue with niggins and talk shit. He the only one we see. They lost their presence. Yo, this nigga doesn't laugh.

What kind of shit is this? This nigga, like, I was, you, it wasn't you, so you didn't catch the backlash. I was catching. So they was dumb type. I never left him. Now you get the ultimate, you get the ultimate New York.

versus and the first thing he said it ain't the niggins that moved to my hand I thought he was shooting me I was in Hermes in the crowd I wasn't in New York fire I made my first album in my head I fucking love mine yeah but you said but when in the mecca of New York

and you're telling me y'all ain't home y'all ain't from here and you don't live here presently that's what made you say that was a spark yeah that was a nice thing to spark But hip-hop, go to a restaurant in Miami.

Every New York rapper lives there. Based on that competitive spirit. This is a competitive sport. So if it wasn't French, my brother, my little homie that we don't, you know what mean, spent the night in the studio together, you know what I mean, just so long, it easily could niggers could be talking slick. It would have been bad. Like, Rose, I could, I could picture Rose.

Oh, it would have been too easy. No, no, Roseette is the bad one. But I go to Carbone And I bump into Norrie I bump into this one I go to the fucking car washer bumping the cam All these niggas wanted me to die

Like yo he moved to Miami This nigga's not the real one Why he moved down there All the niggas live down there now Everywhere I go New York rappers New York rappers New York rappers Hey everybody I was just up on the shit

Way early Niggas invest in them Yeah, that's how I go. What about new music? New music. They could pre-order the album right now, set in stone. Set in stone. Yeah, it's out June 12th.

June 12th, y'all, set in stone. Rose, your best verse to you. Your best verse. Kind of question. To you. I got one. I got a, bro. That's your best.

No, no. What is it? I got a, what is it? I said it's the shit with you and Kanye. That, what's that joint? The devil in the new joint, yeah. That was a beautiful moment without a doubt. And for a lot of people, that shit was an emotional, passionate vibe.

You know what I mean? But it just, for me, it depends on the mood I'm in. You know what I mean? I don't say some shit, man. I don't have fun doing it. But what is your favorite verse? What do you think? Just coming off the top of the dome.

You want to throw a flag? He's too many. Don't fucking flag. He's not one of a few creations. I got too many for me. That's my favorite verse in my whole career. You got to know what your favorite verse is. You don't have a favorite verse.

He has a lot. When I go to my Ross discography, it's not verses. It's projects. And I might depend on how I'm feeling, it's good forever. It can be, it's all typish. I got a section of this him and Raphael Ced.

big shit sunk everything ever made with One of my favorites is A mini, many, many, many, many honor Two, do, do Stinging right here Oh,

That's amazing That's some of those Rose B size, man And that's the thing Sometimes those B size mean more than the big records You know? It could be tears of joy

One of those verses For T's of Joy It's like I'm just tapping in I'm talking to my mom and letting her know, you know what I'm saying. Thank you for supporting her boy. 1800. Rose, keep it 1800 with it. You already know what it is.

1800. Rosey, the biggest. We're doing deals. Man, we're doing, we got to do it big at all times. Man, we celebrate going out on tour 20 year anniversary. I'm going out with the orchestra. We're going to do it big, you know what I mean? We're setting it off in Miami, May 20,

fly shit, big boy, heavy boy shit. I might got to come down there. I got to give you flowers that people always give you, but probably sometimes they, for some reason, might not. But your beat selection is out of this. It got to be one or one-eight. You never pick the bad beat ever, ever. I'm talking about for freestyles, for throwaways,

for your shit. I don't know how. I don't know what your process. I don't know what. You tell him, give me the special hard drive. Come live with me and make this. I don't know what the fuck you do, but this. You sent me a beat one time.

Appreciate it, appreciate it, my Jew. You sent me a beat. That'd be Justice Lee at the time. But the beat is so crazy. Look, you just sent me the beat. They gave you. They'll cry. He just sent me the beat with nothing.

Me, he called him. back, bro. Oh, boss, what are we doing with this? This is all he's saying. He's getting all you money, kids? And hung up. We get money. And then the shit turned it.

It turned into a beautiful fucking... A beautiful record. A beautiful video. Just take all you money. And I got the verse on that about saying, this thing is the... Anybody ever did a song with, this is the illest...

Let me tell you... Ever. Just all your money. My name, all you money. Because you do it. in your sleep and you pick great beats. I pick incredible beats too. So it's one of the things.

I know some rappers that would have had a hundred times better career if they knew how to pick beats. The greatest guys in the world. Not an easy thing. And people take it for grin. The fucking greatest. You know how many artists I know dead.

I never knew how to pick beats? If the wrong person, if the right person pass you the wrong beat, you think is it and that's a that's like an epidemic you know this is very old school what I'm back saying

that's right person that's fat yo you just think that's it because of who passes this is very old school what I'm going to say

but back in the nigga at the gas station pass you a hard drive that fucking blowing shit am I right facts go ahead

I've been there with rappers invite me to their listening session and I go there and they niggas is banging literally Because, you know, New York, we were very exaggerated.

Like, you remember back in the days when you talk about them MTV videos when niggas used to really dance and all that. So if a nigger on your dick, he running up the wall, banging his head, acting like this really incredible, like they're doing too much. And I'm sitting there.

They're like, yo, crack, what you think? The album really trashed, my nigga. I'm sitting in the studio. I'm sitting there like, you know, now why they call it real? This is my problem. In life. Why you call a real?

real if you want the fake response. Don't call it real when you want the fake response. I'm sitting in the studio, niggas is banging their head on the wall. I'm like, oh my God, this shit trash in my head. Like, Jesus Christ, can it get any whacker? You only wrong

when you leave it, don't tell them that. Oh, no, I tell them, yo. Then ain't like you no. You ain't touched the last... No, they don't fuck with you. It was hate. It was hate. It's called hate. That's what they were considered. When you tell them your honest opinion,

Then they, you hate them. They don't fuck with you. All I got for you is honest opinion. I hate it. This game then abused me to only give you honest opinions. Okay? You know, all the way around, I see niggas. They get into, yo, this guy here, he's beefing with all the rappers.

I have nothing to do with it. I'm a born-again Christian. How do Fat Joe know he's going to end up with the nigger? And I'm going to be the nigger to smack his cheek off and tie a nigger. get the fuck up at me. He picked on everybody. I know somewhere along the line I'm going to have to see this guy in hip-hop.

Okay, buddy, how you doing? Okay, you want your cheeks smacked off? The joke is over. Isolation time. Like, get the fuck out of here with this. It's what I'm trying to tell you. Don't call the real. Don't call the real when you want to fake.

into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game.

His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's

perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid.

He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Oh, yeah.

How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS.

All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my... I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard.

Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask, How hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura Podcast Network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. But look, I like what you said about the whack rappers that might get out of line and shit.

Just imagine if I had the chance to slap 50 cents at this shit right here. Come on, man. This is a family show, Roy. No, I'm just sad. Just imagine. that. That's a blessing. You had the chance to smack the whack rappers with that, you said? Imagine if I could just catch 50 cents with that.

No. No, for real. I ran out of flag. We just talked about, no, no, no, you just mentioned it. Joe, I got to give you what you mean. No, I'm not talking about him. No, you were. No, I wasn't.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I caught that. I caught that. No. The whack rappers running around and then you get the, Bha! I had nothing to do that. With the million dollar back here, you feel me?

This is that million dollar one right here. I caught that. No, I didn't say that. No, we was talking about. Oh, no, no, no. No, we caught that. We caught that. Yo, but let me tell you something.

When you see y'all, man, gunplay talking about he wanted to vibe with niggas and this and this and that. What's up with, like, niggas be going through things, man. Niggers be going through things. Niggers we're going through things. You understand? Was that the first, like, Benedict, on? on the team because y'all keep like I've had them.

I got to use the best. I got to use the best. What? No, no, no, no, stay here. Stay here. The mic. No, no, no. You got to realize,

you got to realize different niggas go through different things and everything going to present itself at, you know, at the right time. I can't go no further than that. You know what I'm saying? But the whack nigger you was talking about, we could go back to him.

You was talking about 50 cents, the whack nigger that gets smacked down. I'm not even thinking about him. I was throwing by the time when... No, I called that. I called that alley who, nigga. I called it. I'm a dunky.

No, no, no. You throw me the alley. I'm a dunky. I'm not doing that. You, Ross. I'm a whimbyaya or a nigga. Yeah, yo, whimpayana. Whimbaia!

Rosie! Yo, yo, yo, yo, Ross, let me tell you something, though. But, you know, I have my share of defectors and what we call them shit, disgrunt to employees. or niggas who used to be down and they find themselves outside the light because it's a light.

You know what I'm saying? I'm with Rick Ross. I'm just hanging out with Rick Ross. If I'm that guy, the book guy, I'm in the private. I'm eating no addures. You're on a jet. You're on the yacht.

You're on a move. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Niggas don't understand the affiliation lifestyle. Yeah. The affiliate, we go to the Philly game. You okay, you pull up. Skinny Joe got the fucking.

and cheese steaks for you. The affiliated lifestyle, right? No, I'm just, I tell them, like, so we got a little thing, we're going to say something, and this is not bad because I love everybody, right? But say, like I hear some guys that work for Cali, they complain, oh, I work too hard, I this and this and now. I said, these niggas work too hard than a $60 million mansion. They work too hard on the G6.

They work too hard at the fucking Grammy red carpet. They work too hard with the lobsters in states every day. Like, oh, you're isolated in the Turks and cake? Like, I can't do it. So if I got to represent the labor unions, I can't represent them. Ross, you got the big shit. You know, when I was a kid, you run into the war, you get a Chi-Chones. Spanish niggas call that Chi-Chones.

They'll put butter. on your shit, sugar. Come on. You hit a nigga with that shit. I never heard of sugar. That shit be like, but guess what? If and when it happened,

I got the plug to get a nigga veneers done. I got a dentist office too, so if a nigga too came out to whack rappers, anybody that can't read, I caught that too, kiss, you know what I mean? Who can't read? Mad rap. They can't read?

They can't read. I just have a read off. Well, you know. And we'll start with this book right here, the Renaissance book. It only makes sense. The only thing you can't do to kiss is put that fucking teleprompter that far away.

Hey, me a harm, wrong best, 18, honey. OECC. You got the higher and the lower. OECC. You got the this, this motherfucker off. Don't make you read the rest of the motherfuck. No, no, yeah. Rose, man, I'm so proud of you.

I see Freddie here. You make, because every time I worried about you, you proved me wrong. So, like, you bought this big-ass house, Evander Holyfield shit. And I'm like, what the fuck? Rose-you-doing. How many people would fit,

how many people could sleep in this house in Atlanta? 75, maybe? What the fuck? And Rick Ross is there with two, three people. Right? So what I'm saying is that shit. I'm like, yo, this thing is bugging out. Like, why he bought this house. Next thing, I know you're throwing the car show with Freddie.

And that shit, ram pack, making money out the watch. I see, yo, Rose say, always, always find a fucking way. I mean, that's genius. Like, when did you say, y'all, I'm going to let the whole community in my house? Like, what? To me, I don't throw parties. I don't even talk to my neighbors. Were you to throw a thousand, two thousand people in your house?

8,000, 10,000. Yeah. It was actually 12,000, yeah. You got to be creative. When you got somebody like 57, Freddie billing your old school, is easy to get a half a million dollar tab. And after you do that a few times,

you got to find a way. You know what? Freddie, let's get some money together by Gene. And so we just said, let's do it in the front chart. You know what I'm saying? We put it together. We made it happen. June 13th is the fifth annual.

Oh, shit. Paccata. That's a royal slap, too, because it's like, diamond down. Yeah, yeah, for no reason. Had to. That shit, with the pink shit on. It's like, yo, let me tell you something.

You missed the Royu slapping. Have cometh. Yo, this nigga gonna hit you with a book. We beat up this guy one time, Ross. Statue limitation. No, no, no, no.

We beat up this guy. He was like super brahly. He jumped up. He was like 15, but we were jumping off. Everybody, bang! The minute he turned, pang, everybody got one off on him. That nigger went like this and caught me.

Ponged with the back. Pong, I was like, chew, two, two, two, too, too, too. I see you the fucking. Hurt out that bitch. Get him. I'm like, don't let that nigga go

because if he catch one of you, you guys, y'all don't want this. That nigga hit me with the bong. I said, oh, the bird's the trick. The fucking stars was going. I say, oh, my God,

I tell you that story all the time, Rich. And he didn't call me with the back end. You catch a nigga with that. What? Lecture five. The thing is, I can't wear it in the strip clubs. the girls just want to suck it.

You know what I mean? I ask them, don't put it all the way down your throat. Yeah. No, for real. It ain't that series. No, no. You go to my Instagram.

I say, yo, you know. It's... Let me tell you something, Ross. I watch you and I say, damn, he in love this time. Two days later, divorce. The line,

the shit be like this. Shade room with the crack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He gets the little ball alert with the fucking crack in the middle. It's over. Rick Ball. I'm like, God, damn, that guy Rick Braw.

Yeah, boy, you're a fly nigga. Let me tell you something, Rose. The fat niggas, you put it. They put some shit on Instagram. I agreed with them. They put all the fat guys. Ross, Parnley, Biggie, Heavy D. Heavy D won.

I mean, for that, whoever that genre, they said, who's the flyest fat nigga ever? I'm a salute Heavy D. I ain't going to, I've seen all the comments. I salute all the fat niggas, man. Yeah, yeah. Your man, Heavy D. I ain't going to lie.

He inspired me. No, Evie D was a fly nigga. He had that Cherokee back then, too. Rose was a young nigga. I seen that Cherokee, but I already knew. Whatever we got to do to get a Cherokee. We're with it. You need that, right?

He inspired. me like crazy, but you you don't inspire some fat niggas worldwide man. Absolutely, nigga. Whoever they had, and the niggas we didn't inspire you. They was Rozee.

Nick, if you ain't inspired, nigga. This nigga Ross, it was one of my hours, too. I'm in my island. I might have went one or two charted. He called me up. Good shit, my nigga.

Go get you a big stink and a lobster with extra butter sauce. He ain't lying. It's the first thing he ever told me. I see, yo, Rosa, I met you. Let me tell you something.

I'm inspired by success I see from other homies from different places. That's just the genuine Roseway of moving. I don't care where you from. If you, nigger, whatever it is, we ain't tripping on, nigga, what you is.

It don't matter. If you hustling, you're hustling. That's where you're from. race, that's your creed, that's your color, you understand? And in this hip-hop game, that's just like me. Off the camera, niggas would love to say, I personally hate Drake for life, nigger, would you hate? No, homie, we're not going to make it that.

That wouldn't be genuine. If a nigger step out of line and you got to chastise him, that's what you do. But we're not fin to make that until dog ain't took no dope for me. Dog don't au rose any paper. You know what I'm saying? nigga just he moved the wrong way don't let the Grammys get you fucked up in the streets it's a difference

I made music for the streets I never necessarily went out and looked for a Grammy that wasn't ever my goal The numbers speak for Rose Of course, ain't nothing wrong with that Drake fan ain't no wrong with that thing And I'm just hoping everybody Increased the peace

Nah You just said No, we ain't doing that. We ain't doing that. I'm giving Joe Crack with Joe Crack eggs for the Wack rappers, the nigger 50. I never said me to alley hoop. You threw me the alley hoop on 50, nigga. Come get it, 50.

What they call them, Nicky. I didn't say that about 50 shit, man. Don't do that. I was, I had a hold, look, look, let me be clear. I don't have to, but I'll be clear for the record. I definitely wasn't thinking about 50 cents. I was thinking about some old-school rappers. I don't want to say who y'all got to force.

Who? It was the old nigger. And with some old niggas, man, some friends of mine that back in the day, they had the game in the chokehold, and then they got a big album deal. They got their first big check. And they fly.

And, man, they invited me to the sit. No. It was G union. It was them niggas. The nigger was. the dog cheek. What's that nigga name? Uncle murder.

That nigga cheeks way darker than his forehead. I don't know what that nigga went through. He need that rewind skin cream, nigga. Them niggas ain't getting no money neither. Rose, no.

Rosey, no. I caught that alley hoop, my nigga. No, I didn't do that. I went by yam, my dad, nigga. My shit, PG-13. What you? I'm talking about inspiration. When I see Rick Ross,

I think inspiration. I don't think- I think inspiration. I think inspiration. Come on, down. Let's keep it real. The nigga Chiefs, darn. I'm out of you.

The world's watching. You're going to say I inspired that talk. You did. I don't know. You're going to say that shit. I caught the alley hoop on the niggas. I went by you. I didn't give you that alley.

I went by you did. And good luck to the next. That's city. I say OKC and the Knicks going. Rose saying that. I take that. Who's going to win, though? OKC.

Dang. Dang. Nick, we just put the money up. I'm catching the I think, let me tell you something. I really think, and you guys, man, let me tell you, I lived in Miami. You guys hate the Knicks, man.

I don't know why. No, that ain't true. I'm in the studio every night. No, no, no, no. That ain't true. No, no, no. Dre's a hater. No, no, no.

Drey's a hater. No, no. Oh, you blow out Philly. They ain't nobody. Nikes. Wuss to the Knicks. Miami nigs fuck with the Knicks. Niggas fuck with the Knicks.

The Knicks, you got to understand. The Knicks' culture always been A-1. Niggas always been fly, niggas. Y'all shit always been fly, nigga. Thank you, brother. You know what I'm saying? Why Drake hate so much, man, the whole studio.

No, you got to give props to the heat, though. Three wings, nigga, three rings. You know what I'm saying? Shout out to the heat. You know what I'm saying? But he just ain't hating. Who's your favorite heat player of all time? Of all time?

Yeah, of all time. De Wade. Dway. Dway. Crash. We called him Crash. I love D Wade. I got him in the club when he first came to Miami.

Crash. I thought it was flash. You switched it. He's, uh, what? Wade County. Yeah, Wade County. You know, when we called him Wade County, we call it, you know, that was Wade County. What?

We call it, you know, that was Wade. That's what I'm trying to say. Now, I'm going to say, besides D. Wade, who's like an obvious one, um, but that nigga, um, man. You get his son, not, fuck, bam. Get out of here, man. What's that shit? No, don't do that.

No, no, no. No. No. If you're going to say Dway, you're going to say. Dway, you're going to say LaBron James. Tim Hardaway. Tim Hardaway.

Tim Hardaway. No, no, we salute Tim Hardaway. To this day, they're doing the end. They can salute Tim Hardaway. We salute him. He was cold. Lonzo morning. Lanzo morning.

Yeah. But Tim Hardaway. Shack. With the swag, Shack. We want to ring with Big Shack. Shout out the Shack. Let me tell you something. Man, y'all got winning.

You're going to tell us something. You're fin to say something. No, I got love. I told you that. Jack story one time. No. Niggins. I used to work at Drop Studio

in Manhattan, and one day I was supposed to me drop at the studio, and I walk up in there, and the shit is pitch black. And I'm like, and it's a shadow of a nigga this big sitting down.

Diesel. Nick, I said, that's it. It got me. He came to kill me. I ain't had a hammer on me, nothing. I said, yo, I'm done for truth. This nigga turned around. right here. So I'm looking for the light switch and shit.

I turned the fucking light switch on the shot. I see, yo, Diesel, what's up, brother? What's going on? He said, wanted to tell you first, big fella, they just traded me to Phoenix. I'm like, Jesus. I thought this nigga would have to murder me in this fucking studio. All I thought was a fucking shadow was Shaq. He's a big motherfucker should kill O'Neill. But Shaq, I'm going to say Tim Hardaway,

because D-Wade is just like, it's too high. So I'm going to just try to give him a little... I'm not mad at that. Because Tim Hardaway is the icon, and the nigger salute the legends and the icons. I'm not mad at all. I fuck with Tim Hardaway. I think the Knicks is going to win it all, guys.

I think it just feels like it guys. Let's go! We could make us a light wager off the camera, you know what I'm talking about? You can make us just a light, light. Nothing crazy, you know what I'm saying? Something light. That's G8, man. They got a real good team,

but I think we got a real good team too. I do. Yeah, I think OG getting hurt, gave us a chance to see everybody else play, everybody put it in the minutes. Your man finally woke up. What's his name? Deuce.

He had 8-3. Niggas been screaming, deuce for the whole year. He ain't been hit one basket. It finally makes sense now. That motherfucker... He had surgery, man. Let the man heal up and get right, man.

You're rich. Thank God that man is shooting good. The deuce, Because I was done. I was off the douche. Yeah, he was shot. Trained. I was off that.

I'm like, yo, it's time to. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yo, Freddie, what's up, boy? 57 Freddie in the building. 37 Freddie. Freddie, you got shot. How many times?

Yeah. No, no, that's real talk. Nine times. Nine times with some shit. These bullets is this fucking big, man. And God loves you. Yeah, Freddy's a big. Still a fly nigger.

Still pull up. Give money with Rose. That boy's stomach like a motherfucking road map. Tell these niggas all the time. I tell him, Callet, today. I'm driving over there. He's talking to me.

I said, man, let me tell you something. I'll tell you about he. He don't let me talk. Calip won't let you talk. I tell you, Cali, you're God's child. God loves you so much. You have a beautiful family. You have so much money.

It feels like you can't even run out. Amazing. You're so blessed in this world. The skies is blue. The sun is out. Calant. man, you're so fucking blessed. Some people, God's children.

You wouldn't be here if you wasn't God's children. Hell man. Eight times with an AK-40. Nine. Nine. Nine times with an AK-47. We was already bind the floor. His watch.

The one that was going to hit him right in the center of his chest. His hand caught that. That's why his hand exploded. What would you? That nigga got two fingers over there. But thank God it ain't hit you where it was supposed to. Big time. No, that shit crazy.

I see Freddy all the time. I say, damn, man, Freddie, man. He got it, man. You know, God love you, man. He's spared your life. AK-47 shit, that's fucking Iraq shit. Afghanistan, you know what I'm saying? You got a story to tell you.

Yo, when you're writing a Freddie book? I'm pretty sure he'll answer direct. I told him shit. I told him he got a few books coming up. Yo, let me tell you a shit. He got a few. Yo, I went, we almost going to rap, but I went through depression.

You know, I lost. my sister, my best friend, Big Pond, and my grandfather were like the same week or two. And I was like, this was too much for me. And I was the boss, and so I had a lot to deal with. And so I had to go therapy. You know what I'm saying? And when I went to therapy, the whole time I thought I was getting,

that shit expensive. I thought I was getting a jerk. And the lady would just let me talk and talk and talk and talk. And then her form of therapy, I realized when I snapped out of the department, depression is she make you figure it out yourself. She'll talk to you to you figure it out yourself and you're over the depression shit. And so you got to realize that, you know, I don't know why I explain that story, but

it's a part of the, it's a part of the therapy. Yeah, the therapy. Speak it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We family. She convinced me to figure out myself. She wasn't telling me like, all right, you got to do this or here's these pills or here's this. She would hear me out every week and then to the point of where I heard myself.

And I was like, all right, we got to switch this shit up and get up out of this shit right here. Big turn. You know what I'm saying? So that's the point. Like yesterday was my first mom's day without my mom's. That was hard. Sorry to hear that, my brother. I didn't lie to you.

That was, that was a, I always. I went to the store. That nigger had me crying in the car. Oh, love, Mama. They only play the Mama, you knickers in there. Like, you're crying to yourself. And so I didn't feel like Mother's Day. You know what I'm saying?

And people celebrating their wives, there's mothers and this and that. Me, I didn't, I watched serial killer movies yesterday just to make me forget it was Mother's Day. Because this shit is hard.
