Dance Hall Legend, whoa. Thanks for coming to our show. Deppie, thank you for pulling up, legend. Thank you, man. Thank you for having. Yes, sir. You know, like, I'm from Queens. He's from Brooklyn, so we're trying to figure out where more Jamaicans at.

And I said Queens. And I definitely say Brooklyn. That's why they call a South Jamaica Queens. I don't care. We got flat boots. Now, that's sure. All right, you see. All right, good.

Let me get to the pint now. Go ahead. All right. Queens got Jamaica Queens. But Brooklyn It's kind of Jamaica What the fucking about? You hear me, legend, let me get some love on that legend

Thank you, legend. Thank you, legend. Shut up, man, let the legend talk. Go ahead, Beatty. Queens is Jamaica, Queens. Because Queens's got a lot of Jamaicans. But Brooklyn is Jamaica. Like, seriously, Jamaica.

Gotcha. Sometimes I go to Brooklyn, I have to say, okay, which happened you, I'm going down there. Okay. All right. I'm going around here. Got you. Yeah, because, you know,

and all the flat was the church, go right back to downtown Brooklyn, is Jamaicans. Definitely. Like, right, true, like, definitely. So don't care who want to move in now and try to move out the Jamaicans. They're still somewhere near Quing, Brooklyn.

Definitely. They're not going no further. Nowhere. Nowhere. Yeah, that's serious. Let's go. coming to New York since the 80s, you see me?

Like from the 87 times I've been coming to New York. So, yeah. Brooklyn. A lowly for Jamaica. Yes. Jamaica. I'm listening to it.

I know. I'm just making sure you know I can hype when it's Brooklyn. And the Jamaica, you last and feel they're dead. That niggis not dead. You go to Brooklyn. It's right here. Yeah.

Seriously. So what was life like for you growing up in Jamaica because you did your first record at 8? years old yeah which is unheard of oh well all right jamaica now is when right i was born a kid that stammer you know what stammer is like when you can't talk like you take one minute to make a sentence you a to to do to do you got to study you're a little yeah you got not a little little i was all the way studied trust me take me like two minutes to make one word yeah trust me so i never like it because sometimes we can't talk to people.

So I figure out that if you sing your word flow. So I start to sing the shop list. My mom sent me to the shop. I used to sing that list. Oh, look at that. That's great. Yeah, then I used to sing the reading book. Like when you get the book to read it, and say Johnny was a little boy and Jane was a girl and, you know,

maybe I have a little love and all of these things. And all of these things, they're jackinging up there to catch a pail of water. So when I start to do that, I realize that my thing flow. So at age five, I three, you start going to school. But age five, now I start to, you know, get into the music because if I'm going to sing, I'm going to sing. So I'm going to do serious things. So I, you know, I start to put lyrics together from out of the reading book and all that.

So that's when we realized, all right, if me do this, I can't talk. So I have to, you know, fix my speech pattern. I got to know what I'm doing. So at 8.7, I decided, like, I'm going to be an artist. Hmm. Now. Yeah, everybody's crazy. They're like, yeah, right.

Your mom's going to kill you. Because my mom is an ardent Christian. She's Christian, Christian, Christian, Christian. Falling Spirit, Christian, Halloween, Christian, Christian. So certain things I can't do in my mom's out. So, you know, I have an uncle or grandfather, live next door, they got a sound system called Master Blaster. And that's where I learned to sing on the beat, I learned timing and everything. So I realized that I need things because I've been seeing artists like General Trees, I've

been seeing artists like Sasa Fras, I've been seen artists like, you know, a commoner artists like, you know, We'll leave a big star in my days and in my community. These artists are stars. So I decided that I'm going to need some money because I'm going to need some clothes. And there was no clothes that could fit me. This is the reason why I named Beaneman, because I was this skinny. So there's nothing you can find in a store that can really fit I. So, you know, I realize that I got to go tell him.

So everything I have to do is telling me. If I need the shots, I have to make it tell him it. If I need a pants, I gotta get to tell him it. Even this suit remind me of some suit that I used to make back in the days. So to get that, you have to have money. So what I do, I enter all the DJ competition everywhere. Like I go to doing a part, DJ competition, win that.

Go to Marvely, DJ competition, win that, waterhouse. DJ competition win that, went to cross road. DJ competition, win that. went to Arfurtry, DJ competition, win that. Then I used to follow this DJ called Barry G. He used to work on the radio station, playing music and everything. So anywhere of Barry G is, I am.

Trust me, because he had a DJ contest and they've got monies to give away. You know? So that's how I start to make some money and start to get myself together, to put myself together to look the part because to go and take the mic from a Johnny Ringgo, Johnny Ring or Skidler Rankin or Peter Rankin back in the days, you have to look the part.

So I said, you know, you got to go clean. So I'm going to go clean. They know that I come as an artist. You get what I'm saying? Yeah, that's the new slate. They got to be clean. Yeah, you got to be clean. So I went there and clean.

I win this competition in Jamaica now. I get a chance to go in the studio with one of the biggest producer in Jamaica at the time. But when I reached there, he wasn't there. So Danny Dred was there and Donny Dred took my vice and I was like eight at that time and I vise two songs. I vise too fancy and I vise over the ocean. And yeah, after that it was all everybody talking about being a man, being him and being him and being a man because them time we got one TV station.

So when you come on that TV station, the old island see you. Right. He got two radio stations. Once he come in the radio station, the old island, he'll hear you. So, you know, I'm here in my lane. First time I think it was my cousin. I told him that, yeah, that's me and the cassette. He never believed me because he knows of my mother, Christian,

and me, you're not supposed to a DJ. So he didn't believe that was you. He didn't believe, but he. Like, ain't no way that's you. So I tell him to pause the cassette and I sing the whole entire song. and say, play it back. You know I ain't got no tight player. So you know I ain't kidding.

Say, my side, you do that, me, I say, yeah, you that you for proceed and proceed. I mean, say, yeah, I want to be successful. Don't worry about that. So I have eight. You were eight years old? Yeah, I was eight. That's crazy. They even had that mindset like that eight years ago.

Yeah, well, you see, when you dedicate yourself to something, that's what it is. It started from early days. You don't start it when you're 15, 16. When you're 15, 16, you think about the job that you want. Right. You get me? If you're going to be a doctor, if you're going to be a lawyer, if you're going to be a professor or not.

But when you're thinking about being a musician, you got that from a childhood days, especially in Jamaica. I don't know about hip-hop. I don't know hip-hop come about. I don't know nothing about that. But I know that the first time I hear a hip-hop song, it was hip hop, it a day hop, and they don't stop rocked with the band, bang, bang,

boogie and the bang, bang, boogie, and the boogie the beat. Yeah, that was DJ Eric. And shout to him. I realized that DJ Eric is Jamaican. I'm like, what? So we can do this. Oh, look at that. Yeah.

So I did my first album when I was 10 years of age. Yeah, but we in Jamaica, we know. We know everything about music. We know R&B music, hip-up music, country and western, gospel. I know Whitney Houston and Sissy Houston from there were singing Gospels from the little kids. I know these things. So these things is what I used to play in our radio.

And then dance artists like us, we never used to have no song that playing on the radio. You know, we have artists like Michigan and Smiley that come out and, you know, them get run but dancer music never used to play in the dancer because there was no disco. There was sound system that the artist sing on. You as the DJ, you hold the mic and you sing and the selector play the song, then you turn, it flip over the beat. Right. And then you rap on the beat.

And that's how the music used to go. All in the 80s, 70s, from the 70s to the 80s, that's what used to happen. Oh, they used to do a live like that? Yeah. Well, that's crazy. Because we never used to play in the 80s. the dance all. He's only singers. You have singers like Johnny Asburn. You have singing like Mike of Prophet. You have singing like Dennis Brown. You have singing like all these singers used to

just play in the dance out and we as the DJ have to grab the mic because no make no sense to play a DJ song when a DJ is coming on the mic. Now a lot of people in America mix DJ like DJ scratch scratch right. We are the microphone chanted. In America you got rappers in Jamaica we are DJs. Because we are the the that the all right they used to call with us MC back in those days right master of ceremony yeah so you know when when when they're massed up ceremony use the man the older mic and yeah you know you talk and the DJ is usually you know rest-of-piece jam master J or yeah DJs you usually play but back in the ages I think it's 1986 they changed it to Mike Chanta then Mike Chantor

turned to DJ. So, they might say, where I do, me a DJ. So one time when I used to tell people that I'm DJing and say, what, you spin music? Yeah, because that's what you would think. We definitely would. I do spin music. Don't get interested, because if you don't know music,

you can't do music. Don't make my sense. Right. So, you know, I did my first album at age 10. I walk into the studio and I meet a car called Bunny Strike Lee, God rest of his soul. And, you know, he gave me a chance. Like, I was there to record for King Jammies because jammies have a government house and a look at a chalk tape and thing and, you know, and Billim Stradiff, I'm there to what it is today.

Right. Now, I couldn't vice on the A truck machine because I wasn't invited them time. But I was there. I was there when I had my belly coming up. I was there when he started to produce Joe Zwell. I was there, I was there, I was always there. Until Bonnie Lee gave me this chance, I would not get a chance down at that street.

I'm telling you that on the street. And that's where I'm from. So anyways, I move from there, and I went to Jones Town, you know, to live. And then I start to get more opportunities, because this is halfway uptown. This is, uptown is there, and this is together. But you can just leave other.

to get on your uptown you see it so them time you know you got all different dance that keep you at you got metameter you got um skate land you got all different type of venues right so these are the venues that give us the opportunity so we can you know per land career to go on so you got sound like volcano which is um jangeload sound you have sound like lees and limited you have sound like Ah, King Atani, you have something like, whoa, hmm, you got so many sound system back in the days. Right. But I used to go on Master Blaster song because it's my uncle sound. So I love that sound.

So the first time I went to the country was Port Antonio and I love it because the people them loved me. I couldn't have left there for three days. I was there for three days. I was there for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Amad you, Muriel, he's a kid at this time. I left. Like I never knew that.

who he is but I never knew you started at eight 10 years old no you got you got you got to start somewhere but I just start from start so after that it's just thinking about music music music music then I start to fly I can't believe that it just started up and boom I went to Kaman Island yeah and then I came to Canada and then New York in the 80s like 87 of time. Yeah, and I came to New York, and then I realized that I can go home

and make myself the superstar that I need to be. Wow. I went home and I work on it. It took me a time because when I was supposed to be the star, I run up in a big ditch. Like Nelson Mandela, get free from prison. And came to Jamaica, came to the National Stadium, and I was there, I said,

I need a piece of this. I need a piece of this. And when I get it, I sing the wrong song at the wrong time. Yeah, yo, I got booed. Damn. So you got booed? What? Uncle murder, I got booed.

Big booed, the old stadium booed me. Even the dog was like, whoa. They could say even the dog booed me. So how'd you feel? How'd you feel? Because, you know. No, you see, when that happened, you always feel down. But when you think about it, there are more of the things that I've been to and the more

of the things that I've done as a kid and as a teenager, you know that God has shown you a sign. Is there you go left or you're going to the right street? So I decided like, left, leave me alone a little bit. Let me try the right street. So I went to Uyerton and I was there and I stand my house and I built some lyrics, I built some lyrics and built some lyrics and I came out. And when I came back to Kingston, I did the first show in Skidland, never forgot that.

But, um, um, um, we come on Captain Barky, God rest his soul. And they were there taught in me about the stadium thing, you know? Yeah, they were talking me about a stadium thing. And I went up on the stage within the two of them. And I sing the song, what I sing in the stadium and got booed, what I dedicated. You something the same song? Yeah. Yeah, hey, green, I'm over this.

Yeah. So I'm, but I dedicated to them, when I say, Hey, Green, I'm over there, so, I wicker man, abacky, me did that talk to. And the whole place was on fire. So from then I know that people love when they hear talented kid. So I decided, say, OK, I'm going to take the song.

So I did a song called Meetty on a good sitting, and me here no good sitting. And me here, guess what happened? What? My first number was on something. Oh. And from there, hmm, there's nothing stopping me. But what's your mom saying?

Because she's, you know, she's in a chance. That's a good question, yeah. No, she's here. My mom's, I see, me and my mom's life is different. My mom was my best friend. God rest of her soul, I love her. Yeah, but you see, my mom's our best friend. Everything, every problem I have, I go to my mom, everything.

But I've been taking care of my mom since I was. It's 10 years of age. Because I bring money in the house. Every time she see me, I bring her money. Every time she talked to me, I bring her money. So it's not like she's going to fight against that because she know that I'm not a thief. And she know that I'm not doing crime. She know that I want to do music.

So she accepts me for what I am and who I am. And she don't worry about me because every time you see me, I look better and better. That's crazy because you're 10 years old. I'm from Queens. He's from Brooklyn, right? Yeah. So, like, coming up. In Queens, one of my best friends was Dean, he was Jamaican.

It was always Jamaican people around us, you know. I go to the boulevard, we go to the beef paddy shop, we knew, we loved the guy. He opened the door, the whole block. We came up off the beef patties and cocoa bread. Yeah, there you go. That's when it was $1.50, $1.25, you know? My next door neighbor was Hemsley. I never met a broke Jamaican ever in my life.

Everything, every Jamaican I met is always work hard, work hard, work hard. So to see you be 10 years old paying the bills. It's crazy to me. It's always a great thing because in together you got no bills to pay. You got no water rate to pay. You got no light to pay. You got free light, free water. I used to think that we got everything free.

You know, didn't know that. We was bridging everything. That's why I'm glad you on the show. Because when you think about it, like, when we used to go to like all the parties in Queens and you go to parties in Brooklyn, there always had to be a Jamaican set. Like two guys.

My man, Rough Hands or Grandmaster Vic might play the hip hop, but you always had like Shorty Black, my man Loss, Eli. So I came up. Like my, I tell you, my guy Eli, his father managed Shaba. So I met Shaba and Patra and was like, because it's always, Jamaican music's always been big in the culture. Every time you go to a hip-hop party, there had to be a Jamaican set. No, I tried to do everything. All right. I know Shaba Rankin.

Right. From me, it was co-pilot. Kiba was the pilot and Shaba was the co-pilot. So you got Kiba ranking and Shabba ranking. Right. Yeah, you got Roos melody. That's a sound system that he used to sing on. And from those days, I was always trying to say,

I respect Shaba because this is a wicked DJ. Don't worry about the wicked DJ. And you know exactly what to do, when to do, and how to do it. You got the next artist card, Chaka Dimas. And then you got my coach. My coach was General Trees. General Trees.

Yeah, he's, yeah. He's one of the DJ, all of them want to be like. Because he's the man with the lyrics and he's the man with the rockstone plays. And, you know, he got the thing like, wicked DJ, like, seriously. So I grew up in an old school. Right. You know, Super Cat, used to name Kater. Yeah, so you know, from those days, from, you know, Imperial to Kilimanjaro to all of those days,

I was always there as a kid, always there. You know, these guys are bigger man than me, you know. I was the youngest DJ ever. I remember the first time I was in a dance-all with some big-time DJ like Johnny Ringo and Squidler Rankin. They thought I was a last kid, like they was looking for my moms. Like, come and get your kid. And they actually put me up on the, the, other-

You had to stand on the crate? No, it's not a crate. He was a, he called him to him. He was a veranda. And you know what, the varanda got the side there, and he put, like, you know, it's right there. And they put me in the stone right there. And they said, where your mother name?

I give him out. I said, tell me what my name. You know what I said? Run the rhythm selector. And that was it. That's crazy. Yeah, because I never knew this. Like, when we look at you, we think of all a hit records.

Because like, I know what we were told. Sima, who got the keys to my Bima? So when you think about it, because four you won Grammys, it's you, Shaba, Sean Paul, and who am I missing? Mm. You Shaba, Sean Poo. Shaggy. Yeah. Right?

Bounty Killer got a Grammy too, but he was a feature, but it's all good. We're gonna give him Mr. Hops too. Okay, cool. That's the shout to Bounty Gail. Yeah, Bounty Givesu and a Grammy too. Yep. But like when you hear you like all the life, when you hear, like everybody, like, come on, this is a world record. Zagazzaa, Zagazza, Zagazza, Zagazza, right?

Yeah. Like, how do you, when you in a studio, what's the process to think, yo, this is going to be, do you know this is going to be a world-wide record that lasts for years and years in time? Well, right, you see. What's the process? in the studio. Football is back, folks, and you need to change the way you invest in the NFL this season.

I don't make sound to say, okay, I'm going to program this type of people and this type of people. that type of people. My song is for the masses. So if you're white, black, pink, purple, do you care what kind of race you are. If you love my song, you love my song.

And this is what I do. I make music for everybody. You see? All right. I remember the first time I've been to Spain. I'm like, I'm going to do this. Because these are Spanish people. You can't talk to these people.

And when I go on the stage and go, oh, nah, nah, nah, nah. Everybody's singing. bags because I said everybody joined. I'm like, what? But they sing every other song. You know me say, women if you're fed up with your boyfriend,

let him go and your boyfriend and they sing everything. Right. So they sing everything. When I go, old dog, like me, damn. Me have they go let me not do zanche. You see? When I go give me the girl,

let me do the wicket. They sing everything. Because that's when people ask you the... You got so many of... You know what you tell you, yeah, because those remind me are when people, when people actually used to like dance up on the females. Yeah.

Like that's what, that's what, that's what, like, people actually used to really dance. Like, dance up on a female. You really enjoy yourself. But what I'm saying is, like, when you do this record with Maya, right? Because all of them records are hits too, right? Yeah. But, like, when you hit a record with my, like, zagazaa, zagazaa, zagaz. You know when that, come on.

Like, I want to go to a concert. It is. It is. It just want to know his record placement because he has so many hits. Yeah, but that was a hit. Yeah, because that was a real song that definitely pointed to the world because it was Farrell Williams came up to me with the idea that I need to make Gersam Sugar and Simmer in one song.

You said, Perel came up to you and said that? Yeah, he was one to make the beat. Look at that, okay. Oh, Farrell made them beats? Yeah, he made them beats. That was his beat. That's crazy. So I go, okay, let's try this.

And he go pang tan, tank, tan, and this look a guy from Philippines that play in the Neptunes. Chad, yeah, Chad. And Chad started to play. And I'm like, okay, let's do a Sim Sima. Be them on a de girls them, Shiger. Sima, the girls them were going to Sima. And Farrague said, I would say the Sima. And I said, okay, that's better.

That gives me chance to breathe. Yeah. So, probably went to the street, I go, Simmer. Because he wanted to put the American touch in it. The Simmer. So I know definitely where he was going with it. Got you. And then he sent from Maya.

And too because I'm a movie buff, as I see Maya and her, I'm like, wow, this is a girl from the school movie. Got you, got you, got you. Yeah, yeah. So I'm like, yeah, this is going to be nice. and then we start put the hook together because I told him that we need a hook. Right.

Because Simsymigarism Sugar, yes, it can be a nice hook, but we need something to melodine the hook. There you go. So I said, okay, we need that. And then we get that because if we're going to make an American song, I am going to make an American song. I am not going to allow you to do that for me,

to tell me that, yeah, I did that for you. Got you. Yeah, but you give me the idea, too. put it together and I really respect for that. And then we get together and we make the song and we nominated for a Grammy Horde that together. Look at that. And that was beautiful.

Dope, man. Yeah. Definitely because it was making, you know, reggae music, Jamaican music worldwide. It wasn't just, it just wasn't in one category. Kicking on barriers. Definitely kicked down the doors with that, man. Definitely kicked out of that, man. It definitely kicked out of that.

Jamaican artists. I was picking them berries. And the whole thing is it's not microwave music. Like I love to hear the stories from the OGs and, you know, the real legends because it's like the music is lasting. You're touring, you just came from Germany. You said. Just came from Europe.

See? Yeah. And we did some show here in America where I did two show with me and Barry Salmon just the other day in August there. And it was Barry Simon birthday. So we did two shows. We did one in Connecticut and we did one in Philadelphia. Who was it?

Yeah, we did, yeah. Well, we did two shows and it was wicked. Look at that. How you like performing in London? I was like performing in London. I love London. London is great. I've been going to London since forever.

I've been going to London since forever, ever, ever, ever. ever, ever, being in London forever. I love London. Because London people, they appreciate the music. Definitely do. For what it is. Because when he goes to London, it's the first place that I ever go from Jamaica.

When I turn on my TV, me see a arbitragement with reggae music behind it. First place. Yes, London. I'm not kidding. I've come to America, been coming to America. I told you how long I've been coming to America. coming to America.

You ain't never heard of a Jamaican song with that. I've never seen an advertisement with no Jamaican song unit. None ever. So London is the first place that I ever went to, like, ever. America, we got to change that. Y'all making us look bad out there. Ever went to. And here, commercial on the TV with reggae song is the background.

Look at that. In the commotion. I'm not talking about one commercial. commercial or two commercial. You get like five commercial and all of them is reggae commercial. And I'm like, why is going on here? But then you realize that there's a lot of Jamaican London. Lots. Yes. Lots of them. That's your last stop. You're so good Jamaican food. You better believe it. And then you're ain't getting nowhere else.

Yeah, you love London for the Jamaican food. That's a fact. Most of the biggest Latin England artists busts from reggae music like red red wine. That's reggae music. And then he got steel pos, which is an English man. And then they got Paso do you puttie point in left hands. Which is an English man. So you get to realize that, you know, London has always been a big supporter of the reggae music. See, when Bob Marley gets shot in Jamaica and he left, he went to London.

Oh, look at that. You get what I'm saying? So it's like, it's kind of a different thing when it's, when it's, come to London. London people love Jamaican music. Love it, love it. I think almost everybody in a London old soul from the 60s because, yeah, where's name again? I'm not gonna try to care myself.

But most of the Jamaican artists bus in London, Ken Boob, bused in London. Uri, Bust in London. I think Uri, I have number one, number two, number three, number four, number five on the British chart. Look at that. That was crazy. So it's not really like London is just picking up the music.

So all of us as Jamaican, we love London. So New York was the next London. When you come to New York, man, don't play around. You're lying about that. You know how many parties we used to go to, like as kids, like bad kids, how many underground, basement parties and the Jamaican music was popping in there. Queens, New York, Branks.

Yes. Branks, Brooklyn. Trust me. Staten Island was a little white, but... Ha ha ha ha. It was something in the... It's hard. It was a little white.

That was the mob out of the last thing. It was a little white. Yeah. We was all up in there. Because you got some Italians. You got some other other people, they got out of people, they got the other people. But it was all up in there. Trust me.

So that's when I know that the Caribbean music is not going to be easy to get rid of. Definitely. Jamaica music is not going to be like pop music. It's not going to be like, you know, it's not going to be the big music, but it's going to always be the music that's stuck in the years of the people. I want to always ask you too, son, because you had the record, um, flow natural. Yeah. with Tito. Yeah.

And that was a big record, like for the whole. Big record. Big record. Big record. For the record time. Yes. And it's still a big record. Of course.

Yeah. I don't understand it. It's still up there. Still a big, big record. You think we need more collaborations like that? So reggae could actually get in a better place like for nowadays because reggae tone is so big right now. Yeah. But I don't think we need anything.

I think we have it. Got you. I think it's just for them to collaborate with us the right way. Because the music is regga-tong for God's sake. The music name is what? Reggae tone. Say it again. Ray Gay.

You can't even say it without saying Ray Gaye. Got you. But Beanie, you gotta remember, when he says collaborations, come on, man. You did a record with Janet Jackson. Yeah. Come on. That's not an everyday collab, brother. Yeah, that's not an everyday collab.

Now, what was that? No, that was beautiful. That was all Jermaine Dupree. Jake, my man, they're here we're trying to say I got beef with Jermaine Dupree. So that's my man, Jameen Dupree. So that's my man, Jameen Dupree. So how was that, like making a record? Because you did records with pretty big names. Yeah, but that was beautiful with Janet Jackson. Because Janet Jackson has always been my artist. Like always. It's Michael Jackson's sister. Right, for sure. Bugs. Michael Jackson is my star. Like, so what was the process of being in the studio with

It was beautiful. The president of the Virgin Dupree was, I think, the president of Virgin record at the time. Right. So he was the one to call in the shot. So he think that if me and Janet have a song together, it will be beautiful. So he called up Neptunes, you know what thing goes. Ferrell always in the loop, okay. Forrell always in the loop, boy.

He was the one to make the first song. So, you know, companies don't think about another person. They put you to the person that made the magic. If they broke, don't fix it. Like, there you go. There you go. So yeah, that's what they did. And then Jeremy and the pre, put me together with Jonnet Jackson then.

It works. Yeah, because when you look at your career, like, you'll be in a sound clash. Like, we know you get in a sound clash with Ninja Man or whoever the fuck you put in front of this man, right? Yeah. But at the same time, you're going to hear him on top radio. Yeah. You know what I mean?

So how do you feel like, because I know once I went to Grammy and have as much albums you have and you got like two, three hundred hits, maybe two thousand? You got all these hits. When I come to a clash and somebody want to battle, I'm like, what the fuck? Like how do you feel? Was you like cocky, like I'm the fucking top guy? No, I'm, I never feel cocky. Because you see, boasting is, anybody who boasts becomes a bass.

So you boasting everything that you do, you stop right there at your boasting. Because when you're boasting stop, you finish. Because people don't like hype. Once you hype and you hype and your hype is done, you're done. You're a wannabe. And I never want to be a wannabe. I never think about that. I never want to be that.

I never want to do that like never ever in my life. So what I did, I came to the world and I gave the world what I got. Then I go back to Jamaica and I give Jamaica what they want. So I was just coming off a royal tour, like tour in a real and I go back to Jamaica and say, walk one, or Jamaica. I'm going to say, hey, boy, won't tear off a mountain, and I back at it again. The boy didn't have been to him and then back at it again. Then I leave and I go in a road tour.

Yeah, because you never thought you was big. Like he never thought, you know, I'm big. I don't got a sound clash with these motherfuckers. No, see the problem is it's not think like a star, being a star. Being a star, you are a star. Gotcha. So you are a star in every genre. So whether it's dance,

all, whether it's international, no care what you do. Some people at Jamaica say, yo, you don't know what big is like, they're the one that's going out there, the other one that's falling in stadium, they're the one that's falling in arena. What are you telling you?

Right, right. You're stupid? You know, I'm here doing what I'm doing because I love what I'm doing. I'm not doing it because, yeah, Beanie's a star, I becomes a star. Watch me now. I come from dance all, like flat dance all.

Like, for me, dance all is coming from. Before there was any stage shows and big band and all of that. I'm coming from dance art, dancer. Now, I'm supposed to come to Jamaica and then go to a dance hall and the vibes nice. And I'm not supposed to hold the mic. I was supposed to just like, hmm, a big under.

No, that's stuff. never me. Got you. You're going to go grab that mic and turn up. Well, if I feel like. So you can't tell me my feelings. I come to America. Yes, I want to go to a club.

You got to give me some money. What are you talking about? I got it to make it as where I live. Got you. For sure. There's a difference. This record is on. Miley is having a moment.

I'm Jackquist Peace Thomas, and on this season of the Blacklit podcast, we're outside asking some of the custodians of our stories, teachers, and our modern day writers.

Why? They don't want a whole bunch of little elevators, Michael Maxes and Martin Luther King running around. They want to build children who have no empathy. That's really the ultimate goal. We want books that don't make white kids feel bad. So is the war on literacy? and information or our ability to connect. We want people to know how sexy reading is and how fun they could be

and not always associated with education. It could be an escape. It could be entertainment. And that is the beauty of reading. It can be all of those things.

Now, how do you come up with 24 albums, though? I mean, you know, somebody has like five albums, six albums, make 10, that's a good career, maybe even three albums, but 24 albums. Like, what gives you that drive? No, it's not what gives me that drive. I advise for producers. Like, I vice for, like, I vice for that producer. over for that producers and then, you know, they got 10 songs, like, you know, because

I like the beat. I don't collect no money because I think Jammis put out two albums with us, face-to-face with me and Bon Tickler and I think you put out the next album with me and Mike Carver or something like that. I don't know, I don't know tell no lie. So this is how the albums come together. Gotcha. You know, somebody have half an album with me, they put out half an album with the next person

and put it out. That's how it comes. Because you have something named compilation album. So they compile some songs together and you know, you don't even make an compilation like a year. The bunch of people put it together. Yeah, so they go put it and put it together. You know? And then VP everything called, sometimes they put out the songs, put the songs them together.

Like you have 24 number one and one album. Then they put out the next one with 60 number one and one album. And yeah, it's wicked. But that's how it goes. You work towards making that. But I got like, to be honest, I got 18 studio album that I make for myself. The rest of it is just compilation and put together.

Got you. Yeah. What record made you leave the studio and say, oh yeah, I'm never gonna be broke again? Mm. So many. But what's one you made that you were like, oh yeah, I'm never going to be broken again. There's a lot.

There's a lot. I remember when I make real dance, I say that. I remember when I make roll me, I say that. I remember when I make girls I'm sugar, I say that. I remember when I make Sims, I say that. You said that. I'm never going to be broken again. He got a lot, man.

He got a lot. Music is different. It's not like what do you think music is going to be and where music is going to be. where music is going to take you. I didn't have companies to back me all my life. See, I'm a Jamaican that live in Jamaica, and I'm a Jamaican that believe in people. Sometimes people take disavantage,

and then a lot of my management do that too, because sometimes you feel like, yeah, you got that and this is it. And then when you find out, that's not it. Right. Because sometimes you got to twiging every step and twang it and go like, boom, get rid of that person. Got you. And get rid of somebody who's there for you,

who's got your back. And sometimes when you feed that person got you back, that person never got you back. Yeah. So, you know, sometimes you got to know. But I'll be rich forever. Got to you. Because it's my riot.

Of course, of course, of course. Of course. Now, we live and learn. You trust certain people, and you just find out like, damn. Yeah. You know, I thought they were going to be better. But now I'm good.

I'm in a comfortable place. I am nice. Yeah, I got my wife with me. She's... Shout to wifey. Shelter wifey. She's my rock. That's why.

Yeah, she was in her cleaning you up before. She's like, hold up, nigger, you ain't looking. She's right. That's right. That's right. She's dear. And I respect her. And, you know, I respect the dedication that she put in the thing.

in the thing you know because but she got our own life right she live our own life and she did our own thing she all the time I know I know for over 22 years over 22 years I know of her and you know she always be that person that you know always stand firm for herself and for she to come here now and you know be with me standing here behind me you know pushing this thing and know that yes, this is what we're going to do. Now, not saying that I didn't got myself. But we all need some motivation.

We all need motivation. We all need some motivation. That's saying that I didn't get myself. But every king needs a strong queen. Yes, you better believe it. Shelter wife, she's in the building. Yeah, blessings. Come in.

Now, we're looking forward towards more music. Yeah. Now, I got this new album. It's called Eminence. Just talk about that. Yeah, and this album is not an easy album. It reached number one and everything, oh? It reached number one.

Yeah, it reached number one and everything. Going all genre, all genre, number one. Yes, yes. Everything. This album is wicked. Trust me, it's wicked. Make sure you all go get that. Yeah, you have to go get it.

Because, you know, we've got some big stars in the album. We got Snoop on the album. We got TIA on the album. We got Ashanti. And I went back from Maya. You went back for Maya? What? She's on the album.

Fire. Yes. We definitely are. Fire. Yeah, I mean, we went back from Maya. And then we got, I got one song with me and Snoop and eight people. I think Elephant Man is in that song. And we have a lot of females on that song.

Elephant Man and a lot of females. Got you. The song is beautiful. That song is beautiful. It's good because people got to. People got to know it's out. So it's like now before we used to have just radio and God willing, now we got podcast and streaming. Yeah, we got streaming.

So now this new wave. We got you on here so we know the numbers going to go crazy. This album is everywhere. This album is everywhere. Any way you want to stream it song from, go stream it. I rather you stream it more than go, you know, go somewhere where you can find it for free. That's right. What is the motivation behind this project here, man?

Well, the motivation is to show people that. I'm still here, I'm not going nowhere. Gotcha. What are you talking about? Gotcha. What you told me? He didn't. He loved music.

You know, yo. That's right. That's right. Murder. Guy with 18 albums lives in the studio. You got a studio in the, in the crib, studio on the tour bus. He got a portable studio. He loves music, bro.

And that's what we love. You know, like we said, reggae music is always going to be a part of the culture. You always going to tour. What's one of your crazy? What's one of your craziest tour stories? Like, when was your craziest tour? Tell me one of your craziest tours you've been on. All right.

Wifee here, leave the girl stuff out, man. There's not that. I just want to know who you. I just want to know all the legendary tours. No, my, she said I'm used to it. No, no, no, my first tour. Because I started tour very early. I become a star when I'm 1992.

No, no, I become a star in 1993. 1999, I get my first number one song. 1993, I get the artists of the year and, you know, all that thing. Did the money start hitting two then? Because it'd be funny, sometimes everything else would be coming to the money. The money been coming in since before I get my first number one son. He said he was 10 years old when the money came. You said he was eight years old.

Got you. I'm just making sure. Because sometimes it'd be like that though. You'd be surprised. You know, I'm quite so you know some artists that had, definitely Jamaican artists that had success. that has a success, right? With him, they'd be real popular, but the money don't be there like that.

How you might think. All right. You see, my life take a turn in teenage time because, you know, you live in the wrong place. You end up in the wrong company and, you know, you end up to, yeah. And bad deals, yes. Yeah. You're not bad things that's just, yeah, bad things happening.

Yeah, you know, yeah. You know what shit goes. So, you know, I decide, you know, The child is you don't make up your mind until you've been in a situation that you as the only person can get yourself all that. Yeah. When you're locked up, then you realize that life is messed up. Then you know that you got to get yourself under this situation. So from that, I realize that I have to become the star.

This is not going to work. This is how I get booed because I push. myself on stage and try to get myself up there to make people know that you wasn't even ready yeah that was yeah it wasn't my time got you got you got you got you can't do so much wicked thing and boy come in there come here what are you see and send me back in the in the room and go like yeah I got to do this better and I do this better and then I then I met a lot of artists that motivate me like differently like I have to give love to ladies all because she's

wanted to me motivate me different but don't even be talking to me or telling me anything just watching her doing what she do and knowing where she's coming from you know how strong she is and think she's one of them who motivate me strong that's why she'll always be my female artist at all the time she doesn't know the reason why I'm just saying that now so people can understand you You know, because I learn from people without people teaching me. I don't have to be thought. I teach myself.

You see? Because you just sit back and observe. Yeah, you sit back and observe and you watch and you learn. You said, okay, I'm going to go that way. And when you move in that way, in that direction, it worked for you. Then you adapt and adjust and adapt and then you make it becomes you. once you make it becomes you there's nothing nobody

can tell me you just swim through it all the fight you just swim through it I become a star he comes bon to killer hey boy you're for dead with it

swim to it it it's good yeah swim to it what am I going to do I'm not going to follow you and becomes

because listen the king say which is Celassia You say one thing in life. You can't follow a fool and then eat it. You cannot. Follow a fool and becomes an idiot. You got to be smart.

You follow a fool, you become an idiot. You don't like that. You cannot do that. You're like, what? What are you saying? So I realized that if I follow you, then I becomes an idiot because I'm going to lose all the blessings that I're supposed to get by running up in you, following up in you, following up.

in you and this and that. When I was supposed to run up in you, you're not going to expect it. So when I caught him in the right part, the right place, it was toned up 22nd anniversary and he was on stage. I think I remember that one too. It was footage of that, it's footage of that, right? Yeah. You went bounty killer going to the nation.

Yes. Yes, I remember that. And then I ran up for a stage and then he realized that. Okay. I'm not here to play. You shut him down. I'm not here to play. This is trouble.

I need you to bring up that footage too with being a man in bounty on stage. Yeah. He got in trouble. Yeah, he got in trouble. And then the Christmas after that, he ran up on my stage and see like he's going to get me in trouble. But I was waiting for him. I was like, where are you? I've been waiting for you for so long.

And he come up and say, You know what long I want to all you and cut you like a road job? I've been laughing. Because, you see, that's when they know that you're prepared. When somebody comes to frighten you and you's like, you got to be ready in the clash. It's just like battlewreck. You know the sound clashes.

We used to watch them all the time. So you got to be ready. You got to be ready. And I was ready. Yeah. Trust me, I was ready. And after that, I changed the narrative. I stopped the war, it's not gonna take me nowhere.

It's just making me famous in Jamaica and in the diaspora where Jamaican and Caribbean people live. I don't be there. So I went, give me the girl, let me do wiki that's not. Give thanks to Dave Kelly. Oh my God, that used to be my joint right there. That's when I changed the old narrative. And I go like, fh.

hit records. And then I make hits after it's, after it's, after it's. You know you're responsible for a lot of babies out here too, right? Yeah, I know. All right, Connie. I do some. All right, copy, just making sure, you know that, my brother. You know, I got to ask you this, because there's so many different good eras of reggae music. This record is on.

more specifically, black literature. Our books are being banned, scanned by AI, and destroyed. I'm Jaquist Peace Thomas, and on this season of the Blacklit podcast, we're outside asking some of the custodians of our stories, teachers, and our modern-day writers. Why? They don't want a whole bunch of little elevators, Michael Maxes and Martin Luther King running around. They want to build children who have no empathy. That's really the ultimate goal.

We want books that don't make white kids feel bad. So is the war on literacy and information or our ability to connect? We want people to know how sexy reading is and how fun they could be and not always associated with education. It could be an escape. It could be entertainment. And that is the beauty of reading. It can be all of those things.

So that's how long the music's stayed in the woman. Shelly Thunder is from New York. Okay. And not because she's from New York, she's not supposed to go. or she's not supposed to get respected. It sound like that's what you're about to say. No, no, I do not say it. I don't want nobody to say that.

But he grew up in New York and he busts from New York. So we have him as a foreign artist. So when he come and say, hey, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien, I'm a Jamaican in New York.

So he's telling you that I'm Jamaican, but I'm in New York. He could come from Jamaica Queens. He said Jamaica Queen. That's my big. He can come from Jamaica Queens. Got you, got you. Well, I know him from Jamaica. I know him from South System time.

So me and London, me and murders with you, we in London. What would you tell your chef to make us when we did? Well, it depends on what you want. Because my chef can make a wicked brown stew chicken or wicked brownstrew fish. If you want some ox there, you can get that too. If you want some curry goat, you can get it too. My chef cook anything.

Not that I eat anything, but they will cook anything if you want it. In the morning, I can't cook in my pot is pork. That's right. No pork. Yeah, no pork. I'm with you with that. Yeah, I don't care if you're a black man and you're saying black man's supposed to eat pork. I don't believe in that philosophy.

That's stupid. I don't eat pork. No pork, man. Turkey bacon now. Turkey bacon now. You're going to do turkey bacon there? That's not pork. That's not pork.

I know, I know. You see, that what showed me out. The bacon part. The bacon part? Yeah, turkey bacon is from pork. That's how I know. That's what I know. So you're trying to say, where is this turkey bacon coming from?

This is what I'm talking about. Because I only do turkey bacon, but you try to say even that's bullshit, you try to say that's bullshit, being it? I'm not trying to say. I'm just saying. Where the fuck is the turkey bacon from? Where the bacon comes from the turkey. He's making sense, though. Turkey bacon.

This is what I'm saying. I'm not going to do that. Because somebody, I ain't tell somebody that. I eat turkey bacon. Somebody's going to take the turkey off and leave the bacon. He said, he say you're baking. We got to get to the bottom of that, man. See, we're going to find out where the baking come from.

Why is not Turkish slice? Right. You ain't lying. Something ain't right over there. You know what I'm going to ask both of y'all? What pisses you are off the most when you go to the Jamaican food store? Because I'm going to tell you it gets me pissed. There's never no festival.

That's true. You know what you write. Why the fuck is there never? No, because you go to the wrong. He had the wrong spot? You can't go to the wrong spot. Can't get no festival. Man, you can't go to the wrong spot and get festival.

You got to go to the place where they sell fried fish and bombings. Then you get festival. You can't go to the place that they make rice and peas and everything else. You're going to get vegetable or you're going to get some plantings. But you ain't going to get no festival. Thank you. You can go to the right place. The only thing that gets me tight, right?

It was a song right when I was in third grade, a kid used to sing a lot. I was telling my men that really I fell in love with Jamaican music. East ago or something like, police can kick, police can't cop, police can throw you in the lockup.

I'm gonna tell you what police can do. Let's see a foreign house, see your original Jamaica. I am can't step a brown name call me boy blue. Yes, I make a war way to arrest you. Make a black and blue, yes. I got sure what police can do. And that song is a counteraction, you know.

What you mean? Yeah, it was a counteraction for, what is name again? Echo minor song. What the elderly police can do? What the elderly police can do? Get after me feed and me close you. Give you everything you have to comfort you. It was a contradiction to that.

Oh, okay, got you. Because him tamper in a eye, me till it black and blue, and she called the police. Oh, okay. There was a real story. I said, what the hell the police can do? So, loving they, come back and say, I go show what police can do. I am concerned me, bro.

They've called me boy, do. I have you, I run to arrest you. Rebecca, but he has the police can kick, police can cough, police can tell you in the lack of. I'm just remembering, you see that rhythm, boom, boom, puttum, boom, boom, puttum, the same rhythm that I do. Oh, na, na, na, nah, nah. Oh, no, no.

That's the first time that I really make. I'm just remembered. I am concert, Bum-p-pum-pum-pum-pum-to-to-to-to-do. Oh, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. The dude got their whole. Yeah, that's, he, I teef them thief the man, everything. Okay. He said, I think I don't thief the man song, ma.

There's great deal to write everything. I'm just remembering that. That's where the bass line come from. Look at that. And that's why I say, that's why it's so dope because it's like, it's a part of it's a part of it. Because it's like, it's a part of rap culture, like, rest in peace, Biggie. They had, you know, Jamaican music in their song. It's definitely part of the culture.

Snoop when you were a Snoop album in his songs. And then when you really think about it, like songs like Rikers Island, before I even knew what Rikers Island was, I was hearing, you know what I went to Rikers. I know what it was. You know what I mean. I know Rikers. I want to know Rikers when that came up. But it's a part of it.

You know, the culture. The coach, not for real, right? They struggle. Real talk. That's crazy. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's crazy.

That's crazy. Kakatig. That's crazy. Yes, you was in a party. And then later on, you think about that when you hit Reichers. If you don't know, you know, you know, nigga. Yeah. Real talk.

That's really thing. That's music. That's music for you. And, you know, nothing going to change. Nothing going to change the vibe of music, the duration music. What I don't like in music now is clashes. Because the clashes is phone in the head. Yeah.

These brothers are clashing in the phone. There's no more link-ups. There's no more face-to-face. Yeah, there's no more in person. Everything is beefing over the phone. They're beefing over the phone. I know what you mean. I know what you mean.

A man singing song and X-Men sing a song. Man singer say, oh, what? You hear the new song will come over here. They're a stupid clash. Because if you got five songs out together, you're supposed to meet and a stage together. Get together and keep a show. Yes.

Because people listen to those songs. Yes. And they want to see you clashing. Because these are some artists that people listening to and they love. Mm-hmm. You got to make a move, dog. Keep the culture alive.

Yes. Definitely. Stop killing it. Definitely, man. Because you're going to die before the culture. The culture is bigger than you are. Crazy. Yeah.

So please, ski with the life. Every man I say, oh man, I'm bad money. I'm bored about this and kick him name face. So why you were singing the song about him and he's singing a song about you, and you still now kick him name for you? Don't make no sense to me. That doesn't really sense to me. Yeah, that's why, you see, I just stop because people, people are saying.

Because people want to sing song and sing song with me and sing song and sing song on me, I don't play them games. I would come and look for you where you at. I would job upon you. I would walk upon you and I would ride up in you because I need to see you face to face to make you know that.

I deal with lyrics to lyrics microphone to microphone, stage and stage. And this is what I'm talking about. It's not about badness or badder than who. Because music is not about badness and who can give who and who can shoot who. It's all about lyrics to lyrics, mic to mic. That's right. And I believe in that.

And that's where I'm coming from. And I don't believe that you should change the whole entire culture because you can't. Don't do it. Yeah. Please. Stop. Y'all heard that from the living legend Beanie Man. It's the Real Report show.
