I don't care if you were Brooklyn nigger, Bronx, nigger, Staten Island, Long Island, Arlem, wherever, upstate, wherever. When Shook Ones came out, you knew it was going to be like a fight or a shootout or someone was gonna break out.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Like it was like blood sport music. You know what I mean? I know they got songs called Bloodsport. But how did you feel when Shikwins came out? No, that was that shit right there. That was that was- Like how did you feel? I was like what was your craziest club experience

You had to be on your A game because Cruz was in there and all that.
Starting point is 00:11:36 But when we performed six ones in the tunnel, you know what I'm saying? It got a little wild and all that. But it usually be like out of state when they just be wild and like, you know what I'm saying? like Minneapolis, Minnesota, you know what I'm saying?

Niggas came upstairs like, yo, what's that? I was like, you know what I'm saying? Some track about the, you know what I'm saying, turn the shit off. No, do, do, do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:13:27 We took it to the studio. We took it to, I think, like, battery. Battery studios, because, you know, job records, they had a studio called, like, battery. So we took it in there, and P came with the hook, and it was old. Matter of fact, we did a shook ones part one first. You know what I'm saying? And it was a I. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:13:48 It was like, all right. You know what I'm saying? It's just cool. And so we needed to do a remix. And that's why I was like, you know what I'm saying, trying to make another beat for it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Now when you look at the list, it was like three shook ones. Because it's called shook ones part two. Yeah, shook one's part two. Yeah. But that was like the main one that was in the club. Right, right. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:07 So that wasn't the first one you made. Nah, I had made one before that. It was just, you know, just regular shit ones.

Starting point is 00:14:21 It's like if you're playing in the NBA and you're trying to get that chip. You know what I mean? I got that. When you got that, we got it. We from the ground, from the gutter. Like, you know what I'm saying? And we made a fucking hit song.
Starting point is 00:14:35 You know what I'm saying? That's a shit going crazy on the radio, Every day to video every day. But I always say, Havoc was Kanye West before Kanye West because it's rare that you got a rapper that rap and produce like Dr. Dre or Kanye. You know what I'm saying? Or there's numerous or Swiss. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:14:56 But like it's so many beats have there's not even a like a top five for beats. Like yeah, when you need to give it up came out with the Scarface shit, dang, damn, you need to give it. We don't give a fuck. So it was like, what you're bigger is what the life is by. And this is what I'm trying to tell you, it's not microwave music. This is music that last forever like Michael Jackson and Maltese, you know, it lasts forever, like Slick Rick and KRS 1. So it's like I just said, they came, he came off a 40 date, countries date.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Rest of the piece without Prodigy. Right. Now, if Prodigy was here, the rest of the piece of Prudy, if Prodigy was here, it would be a fucking problem. Mar-Dee went through eras of hip-hop when New York wasn't glazing. I'm gonna keep it real.
Starting point is 00:15:49 I'm not saying they glazing now, but you had niggas like Haitian Jack running around, Tut running around. It was extortion kings out this motherfucker. Facts. No what I'm saying? The tunnel was a movie. You know what I?
Starting point is 00:16:01 Talk about the era of like the beef with Tupac when, you know, snooping them at LA, LA, LA. Right. Did they come to, did they really get shot out in New York? Yeah, yeah, yeah. In Brooklyn? In Brooklyn?
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yeah. And then y'all came out with LA, LA. Yeah. Because that was the original first. I was so happy when y'all came out with that LA. It felt like nobody in New York wanted to do nothing at that time. I was so happy when you got to get with that shit.
Starting point is 00:16:26 You know what I'm gonna. Go ahead, brother. Just let me finish. So when LA, look, when LA and LA came out, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. Get the fuck I hear of that gentleman's shit. When LA, LA, LA came out, y'all, like he said, y'all was the only niggas that said something.
Starting point is 00:16:43 The beat was crazy. Yeah. And Prodigy, Tragedy was on that one. You, niggins was going crazy. Compone and Oriette. All we knew is Snoop came to LA, got shot at. So that was like, yeah, that was, y'all was in between the East Coast, West Coast beef before Pock and Big.
Starting point is 00:17:00 How was that? And Pock Dis, you know, when he did Machaveli, was it Machiavelli? He said, Proudy had sickle cell? Yeah. That was my brother. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that was like, nobody knew Proudy had sickle cell to hot, did it. What's the temperature like?
Starting point is 00:17:14 What's going through mom deep head and niggins through Queensbridge and all the gangsters heads? Would you, were you that young? You're like 18, 20, 21. That shit is like fun to you. You know what I'm saying? You like, well, come on, fuck it. Let's get it pop.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Oh, let's go. Let's go. Like, fuck it. When we see you, we see you. Like, you know. Of course. You don't care about the suit. You don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:17:35 You know what I mean? So it was just one of those things. I kind of like, I figured that that beef was probably going to get real. You know what I'm saying? If we bump heads, you know, I mean, because it's pop. Of course, of course. He older than us, you know what I'm saying? And he's going to be like, oh, talk.
Starting point is 00:17:51 You know what I'm saying? We got a thousand diggers with us. I know they got a thousand niggers with them. It just probably wouldn't have been good. Like, you know what I mean? But it never happened. You never happened? You never ran it to pop?
Starting point is 00:18:02 Never, ever. I seen them once. when I was like 16 at what's that called Jack the Rapper or how to be down. Oh, so this is before or this is before, that's all right, copy, copy, copy. We was just, you know what I mean? I think we was on 4th of Broadway, you know what I mean, trying to get our feet wet and, you know, you see Tupac because, you know what I'm saying, he was even famous back then. Yeah, yeah, facts, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:18:27 We just kids in the background and shit just like looking like, oh shit, they go Tupac. And that's the only time I ever physically laid eyes on them. There's a picture online with Tupac and you see prodigy all the way in the back. Like word of the mother, like pee-in' the back. So we was in the same room with them and shit like that. Oh, look at that. That's crazy. No, that's real.
Starting point is 00:18:49 But even then- Fast-forward, he dishing y'all on Machiavelli. You know what I'm saying? Because back then we loved that beef. Yeah, that was some of us. We loved it too. Yeah, that's a pause. We love that static pole.
Starting point is 00:19:03 We love that static. So hold on, when big you had was beef. Was that a pause? Huh? That's a pause now. Biggie was beef? What's beef? I mean, if I'm singing out in the call?
Starting point is 00:19:14 If we're going on today's rules and how things go, that might be a, you know. Man, when's the pause meter coming for this guy? I'm just saying. Huh? Oh, no, all right, that was for pause. You did. Even the producer saying that was a pause, so.
Starting point is 00:19:30 All right, we love that static. My bad. Yeah. Okay. When you think about it, y'all was beefing with Tupac. Like, when y'all in the studio and you chilling, you in Queensbridge, I know, like, you know, niggas in it, like, yeah, we going to kill Pock. I know a couple of nigs like, can't wait to kill these niggas. They come to New York.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I know it was all kind of shit. Like, back then, you was getting wrapped up into the action. Yeah. Like I told you, Marne Deep. Look, I'm on, I'm from 1, 3, 4 and God Brewer. All I was pitching all night. You know, I'm the type of nigger when everybody say they're leaving. I get happy because I know I'm going to get all.
Starting point is 00:20:03 all the money. There's no competition. So the whole boulevard was going with the lost boys, rest in peace, Freaky Ty, his brother Jay Ball, B.W. You know, all these, all these niggas from 1, 3,4 going to show. When they come back, you know, a couple of things got scratches on him. You know, my man Sunshine had blood. He had like a BB, one of them BB belts before the time. It was like, just some wild looking shit, but he looked like you can beat a nigga with it. He had blood on it. I'm like, you what happened? Niggas, like, we had a bro with Ma Beat. I'm like, word.
Starting point is 00:20:33 So I would have been there if I would have went. You know what I'm saying? I told him that. Talk about that Mar-Dip, Lost Boy, bro. I was talking about that shit. You know, this actually was like our first show ever. It was like our first show ever. And, you know, Lost Boys was on the bill.

I can't even remember if I even knew who they was, to be honest with you. I don't know. Maybe I, yeah, I think I heard of them because they was like from South Jamaica and all of that.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Oh, so this before they had their record, popping at that. Yeah, they might have had something out. The renish and all that, the, the race, because they had left schools with me and the bins and all like. You know what I'm saying? It wasn't no beef between us and them. It wasn't no beef. But it's that thing, right? Like, Queensbridge, Jamaica, Southside.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Yeah. It's like, it's a little, you know what I'm saying? It's a little, you know what I'm saying? The competition, it's a little ego. So you really, like, whatever, you ain't jacking really what they're doing. Not that it's beef, but you ain't even checking for like that. Cousins, but like, you know what I'm saying? Like, trying to outdo each other and shit.

We basically in the back of 40 projects or some shit like that, you know what I'm saying? So we rapping. All right, cool. That was cool. Get off the mic. The niggas from Jamaica got on. Niggas from Jamaica got on the mic there. It was like, you'll be a fuck all that Queensland shit. We all are all of the life. We like, oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:22:42 But, but that happened, nothing happened. It's like, all right, fuck. It was a hip-hop. I'm gonna talk about the lost boy fight. Rest of peace, freaky tile, man. I'm gonna talk about the Los Boy fight. Because I would afford ya'nig's back in the days if I would have win. Son, you would have to know, you would have to know karate.
Starting point is 00:22:57 The thing is would have to beat you up. You would have no karate. You would be a guy. You would nobody beat you. We had karate niggas with us. We had karate diggers. Be wilders, if he tired of the niggins was crazy karate niggins too. Jay Bull, I don't see flogic niggins.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yo. They wasn't fuck. They didn't come back that twisted where y'all beat the shit out. You just said they came back twisted. Now let my man have blood on his belt. Then let my man have tell a story, man. Because you wasn't there, bro. So, nah.
Starting point is 00:23:25 You know what happened? We performed or whatever it is. They performed. But you know, niggas from the projects, they still lingered around and probably one nigga bump, one nigga. And then it just was like a battle roy wheel in the streets. Niggas was cutting, niggas, getting cut back. And, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:23:40 It was just, I already had bounce. I already had left because, you know, me, I just do the show, grab something. Out. The end of your niggas come back a little bruised up. Of course. Yeah, everybody, you know what I'm saying? A couple of niggas, come on. It was a-knit.
Starting point is 00:23:55 You know, what's it? You're a, man. Niggas from my hood. Them lost boy niggas was brawlers. Them niggas wake up in the morning, drink devil spring. and fight, nigga. Ha, ha, ho, every day, nigga. I tell you, oh, huh, huh, oh.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Yeah, it was, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a I said, I don't know about that, I don't know about that, I don't know what three, four, nigga. I'm telling, I was there, niggas, you were trying to take, you're trying to, you're trying to OD, nigger, how you're talking to y'all was a dude? You don't have to be doing. To this day, you know, having stuff me back in the days.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Yeah, right. What happened to me, though, too? Look, security, you know, big house. He's the size of the room. That nigga took me down in one of them clothes before. Pause. Pause. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:46 My nigga. No, but he did some, like, not pause, he did, he did some like, some like, he did some like sweep shit. His man sweep me. Pause. And then, and then I fell to the ground, pause. And then he just, he had a name. I can't get down, pause. My house is like 400 pounds.
Starting point is 00:25:06 But look, fast forward, he, shady, shady Eminem. Right there. And it's no love. So I could afford your little. My guy, he's still on the same. But look, but look, to this day, mad cool and freaky tired. Like, for real for real, you know what I'm saying? Mad cool, cool, like, you know, bumped into them so many times.
Starting point is 00:25:26 And for a long time, it was just like beef for no reason. Because it'd be niggies from your projects, Niggas from day projects. You know, sometimes the rap is to be the cool ones and shit like that. But when there's too many niggis there, somebody going to bump somebody and it's just be... Was Queensbridge ever cool? What's the other project? I'm bugging me.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Who? Next to Queensridge. What is it? Ravenswood? Ravenswood. Y'all never got along, no? Yeah, yeah, no, no. We was kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:25:51 You had niggas from Ravenswood in the entourage, too? I'm sure, like, a couple of Ravenswood niggas was there, but you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know the politics now, you know what I'm saying? But back then it was... It was kind of cool. I think Queensbridge and Wavens would it still be. I mean, you know, I heard some stories, but I don't, I, you know, I, you know, I don't know, I, you know, I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:12 You know what I mean? But, um. So how was the tunnel? Were you got any girls in the tunnel? Well, how was the tunnel? What was the temperature like in the tunnel like? The tunnel was just. Tell me the ill tunnel stories.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I want to hear the shook ones. First time you're performing. I want to hear the second time. Y'all was in the tunnel. Did you see anybody get robbed? Because I know they had the no chain shit. Yeah. You know, I mean.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Check your boots. Couple of, I mean, see, look, Chris Lighty was at the door, so we was getting in with shit. That's a beach, that's a beach, you know what I'm saying? Liddy. Lick's having T-Code. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know what I'm saying? So he was letting us in with it, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:26:43 So we was just cool, you know, we was chilling. Nothing never really jumped off. You know what I'm saying? That I could remember, you know what I mean? But the tunnel was a dangerous place. Very dangerous. Now, talking about the home back in the days, the beef the mob had with Jay-Z, right? Poor.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Do you think that was good? or bad for hip hop at that time? What you think? I'm not going to say it was bad for hip hop. You know what I mean? Because, you know, hip hop is a contact sport. Pause, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Okay. I thought that one. I'm getting it. I'm getting it. But for me, it was just like, it was just kind of unfortunate because I'm like one of those people that I'd be hoping that niggas can get along. and join forces because other states be like that. You know what I'm saying? They be, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:27:39 Clicked up for real. You know what I mean? And New York is like one of the few places that niggies don't be really together like that as a force because New York is so separated automatically as soon as we born, the boroughs. You from Brooklyn. Queens, you know, definitely.
Starting point is 00:27:56 It's like so people don't understand it. You know what I'm saying? I don't know if murder will remember this, but this is how I viewed it. I feel like Proudy and E-Money Bags, rest in peace, E-Money Bags, rest in peace, Prodigy. Was trying to debo J-Z that time on the radio. That's when J-Z had an artist called H-Money Bags. If you do your homework.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I'm-M-Money Bags. And E-Money Bags was a gangster. Everybody know, Niggas, him, H-Mahmo, and Troy could take over the whole Queens when they had them things in their hand. Right? Cool. E-Money Bags was on the radio. And J-Z had an artist named H-Money Bags and Prodigy. put them on the phone.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Isn't that how to beef started? The static? I mean, pause. Nah, no, that's not how to beef started, but that probably escalated it. You know what I'm saying? What happened was, like we was talking about L.A. L.A. Right? We made the song L.A. L.A.
Starting point is 00:28:48 And then J.Z did an interview somewhere. Prodigy saw it. And I guess they asked Jay Z. You know, no matter of fact, Jay Z made the song talking about like New York been soft ever since Snoop. kicked the buildings. Got you. But Prodigy felt like we wasn't acknowledged for making LA, LA.
Starting point is 00:29:07 How could he say that if we made LA, LA, you know what I'm saying? So Prodigy kind of took it personal, you know what I'm saying? And I kind of understand that because y'all did rap. Y'all rap. And we didn't really get no recognition for that. Like, you got to be like a hip hop fan to really know about the song. You know what the song ain't really, you know what on the street level, on the streets, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:28 The streets knew what was going on like that. But you know, but you know, you know, But you know what I mean, like on the radio. I know what you made, copy. On the radio like that. I mean, to me it didn't matter because the DJs was grabbing it. True. Like once, once Snooping them had New York, New York, big city of dreams.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Y'all came to, y'all disc record was like maybe three, four or eight, maybe a week later, a couple of days later. So I remember my man, rest of peace, rough hands, had that joint. Man, L.A., L.A., big city of dreams. So that's crazy from there. That's what it was. Right. Like they didn't get no recognition. Right, because Jay-Z did an interview.
Starting point is 00:30:05 And then in the interview, no, no, no. They was interviewing Pete. You know what I'm saying? They asked him about Jay Z. You know what I'm saying? And he just went off. And he called Jay out his name in the magazine. And then Jay caught that.
Starting point is 00:30:19 And then that's when the takeover. How did you, how did you, where was y'all at? How did you feel? Because the takeover was fine. He was coming at Nause. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in at anybody. No, I mean, you know, Jay is ill.
Starting point is 00:30:32 You know what I'm saying? Well, how does you feel like, you fuck that nigga I'm going in the booth? Of course. You know, I don't know, that shit just felt crazy. Because we was overseas when we heard about it in the summer jam screen and all that shit. And we just like, looking at each other like, you already know what it is. Like, we got to get in that booth and just go crazy. Go crazy.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I think Jay was in this mode at that time. That's when, like, now I know he's not saying this and everybody is crazy. and everybody is crazy. But when you really think about it, Jay was the most disrespectful nigger. Naz, y'all, know what I'm saying? He went in. You little fuck suck out money stacks bigger than you. He went in.
Starting point is 00:31:09 And then he had hot nine seven. Shout to hot nine seven. They was jacking with him. They was working with him. They was letting him do what he wanted to do. He had to remember with now. He had the upper hand. He had the upper hand.
Starting point is 00:31:18 He did. I remember what Noges is beefed with a high 97 to at that time. He had. He didn't want to let him hang on. He went to one of five. Yeah. He despised that. Blackout.
Starting point is 00:31:29 He went crazy. They didn't want to let him hang Jay. And then you got to think about it. When Jay put Prodigy on a summer gym screen, that was the first time a nigga really trod. Some shit like that. Yeah, it was kind of. That was the first troll ever.
Starting point is 00:31:45 You was a ballerina. I got the pitches I've seen you. Yeah, that was crazy. Rest and peace to pee, but people don't know. His grandmother was like one of the most biggest dance choreographers in the world. But that was OD though, because. He wasn't even dressed like what Jay described, you know what I'm saying? But everybody jacked it, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:32:04 He just was at the dance school with like a Michael Jackson jacket on, like all of us probably wore, you know what I'm saying? That his grandmother's dance studio. But he, but he, but Jay, he milked it. He was like, oh, I see you, ballerina, I see you. Facts, but it wasn't. It wasn't like that. It wasn't like that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Come on, bro. I know, because Proud of G. grandmother in Queens is one of the biggest dance teachers back in the days. In Jamaica, Queens, yeah, yeah. So I know mad people at family, everybody went to the school. So ProudiGy probably took some lessons or whatever, or how did Jay get the picture? That's number one. Easy.
Starting point is 00:32:42 That's easy. Spres some money, man. Not even money. Not even money because somebody that went to Prodigy's grandmother dance school was really tight with that circle right there. Oh, okay. It was really tight with that circle. So you kind of try to guess who that is.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Like, you know, I ain't dropping those names now. Yeah, say what it is. No, no, no, it's over now. But they went to the school and they was, you know, they was, you know, they was, you know, they was right in that circle. Because I told Pee, I said, come on, you already know how they got that. You know what I said? Oh, somebody in his camp went to the school. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so they went to the studio and gave that? It was a good chess move. It was a good chess move. It was a good chess move. It was a good chess, boss. But it was definitely, you know, a good time at war. But I felt like Mar-Dieke was one of the classic groups in New York City at that time.
Starting point is 00:33:36 So I feel like it kind of built Jay Carrere when he was dissing niggers. I'm not saying he wasn't nice, he had shit, but come on takeover. I remember when that came out. I was living on Springfield Boulevard. I remember when that shit, that was like a big disc record. The takeover. Yeah. You know.
Starting point is 00:33:53 And the Hot 97, you know, everybody- It was a fun time. You know, everybody don't know. It was a... No, it was a... Nah, it was a... No, I like it. I'm keeping it real.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Can you talk about your other than pick? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my man. I know. You know, you're the fuck I get that shit, man. I'm just keeping it in real. I know, but I just keep it. I don't want to hear that shit right there.
Starting point is 00:34:16 You know what I... Oh, you want to hear it? I'm reminiscing. I'm reminiscing. I'm reminiscing. I think it's here. Fuck that. I was happy with on that hendy, nigger.
Starting point is 00:34:25 You would have crushed your fucking cup, right? You would have grabbed your fucking cup and said, listen, dicker. Cill the fuck out. I like you drunk more. I like to tell you a little. You got my nigga half cool right now. Nah, you don't think about it. No, I'm lying.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Yo, look, look. You got to look, this is how I look at Marlis, Queens all day. Queens get the money. You know what I'm saying? You know, we're acting like you're going to right now. No, I'm not acting like for me. No, what I'm saying is, hey, this is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:34:54 If the, if the, if the, if the. If the best niggas in the game, if Tupac and Jay Z get at you, what that mean? That means you're the fucking best. No, of course. We know that. We know the history of them is getting at you. You the fucking best. Of course.
Starting point is 00:35:06 So I'm here to talk about the history of Mar-D for people that don't know. They beef with Pock. They beef with like when Pock said P had sickle cell. We waiting on the P discreet record. We're waiting on the . We waiting on the fucking. But we dropped Jopajm on them. Of course.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Of course. And that shit was a hit. And not, but what's so crazy. he died like two weeks after that. He died like two weeks after they dropped it. And the record was picking up. It was. It definitely was.
Starting point is 00:35:31 He was. He was signed and then he died. And then we just had to pull the record. Whoa, that was crazy. This May, IHeart Radio celebrates Asian Heritage Month.

How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my GenX Squyna. 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.
Starting point is 00:37:18 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.

Starting point is 00:38:16 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 Nass would get that thing.

Starting point is 00:38:50 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So when you started making, like, What made you start fucking with the MPC? Because I know you had the NBC back then, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what made you start? Because like, you're not regularly. You're not like, you know, we have producers,
Starting point is 00:39:05 you know you got dudes that made, what-up gangster. Right, right. He made, that was like, to me, his biggest shit. Even punched them made seductive. I feel like some producers just, I'm not gonna say they one hit. You can say they one hit producers? I mean, they get that one record. They get that one record.
Starting point is 00:39:20 It's still a big record to give him recognition. But what I'm saying is how do you stay insisting like, what's your thought process making a beat? Because you're definitely like top five in producers. Yeah, you were going to go crazy on the Marbley. You're up there with Swiss, Timberlin, you're up there with Just Blaze. You're up there with M&M. Like, what the, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:39:40 Like, what's your process? When you get in that energy from the hood, you know what I'm saying? That energy is crazy, you know what I'm saying? So it's powerful. You know what I mean? When you are trying to make it up out of somewhere, you know what I mean? And you focused and you're not going to parties and you're not doing none of that.
Starting point is 00:39:58 You're just like, man, fuck it. I'm working on this music. So you know what I mean? That's how it came. So you make it shookones, you make it survival. And you come with the next album, you make a hell on the earth. You know what I mean? And then after that, you make it its minds
Starting point is 00:40:12 and quiet storm and all those things. It's just like, it's momentum. You know what I'm saying? And you just keep going. And the reason why the MPC is because I love technology. See, I didn't. make the shookones part one on the NPC. But when it was time to make Shook Ons Part 2, I was introduced to the NPC and I just love
Starting point is 00:40:34 that shit. Like, you know what I mean? I really loved it. And I just used it with the keyboard and that. You know what's crazy? When you say part two, that's really part one, because the other one I don't really listen to. Probably you're part two.
Starting point is 00:40:45 That's the main one. That's why I was bugging when I was playing it the other day in the car and I'm like, it do say part two on that. I was bugging like, part one, it's a red. It's a red. It's a red. Nobody even really know that until you look at the You know what?
Starting point is 00:40:55 You'd be surprised. You know that song by Big Pun? What's that song? He got the song and he used prodigies. Beware. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Beware. That's your point one. That's crazy. That's a good one. Beware, beware. I gave you fair warning. That's what's why I was. So, so they're listening to that.
Starting point is 00:41:19 To what I got you. But we just needed something more bouncier, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So what was your, what was the thoughts when you made Quiet Stone? Because that's another one. I was in my crib. And what simple is that? That's white lines.
Starting point is 00:41:31 That was white lines. That was right line. That was my sugar hill game. That shit was crazy. I ran out of samples. How did you chop that shit up? How you chopped that shit? I ran out of samples.
Starting point is 00:41:40 I was just, I was like, damn, I listened to all the records already. And I'm looking at, you know, the sugar hill gang. We all know the beat. You know what I'm saying? We love the song, but it's like you can't really do nothing with it. It's just like, it's a record just did and it's that. I said, fuck it, man, let me just, you know what I mean? So I put the record on.
Starting point is 00:41:57 I said, what could you do to this? And I just slowed this shit down. Yeah, I slowed it. Because the record is fat. I just slowed it down. And then I got the triton keyboard and just did some keys on it. And I left it in the computer for like a month. No lie.
Starting point is 00:42:15 And then P used to come to my crib every day, go down straight to the basement and just be listening to the beast that I made. I'd be upstairs sleep. And I came downstairs. He's like, you have it. What's this? I was like, you know what I'm saying? Whatever. You always was confused about something too, right?
Starting point is 00:42:27 P was from Queensbridge? No, P was from... Long Island. Lephrack. Lefrak and Long Island. Okay, copy. Okay, copy. But when he came to Queensbridge, I mean, that nigga soaked that shit up like a sponge.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Copy, definitely. I've seen the argument online. Somebody, two motherfuckers was arguing with each other saying I was from Long Island and Pee was from Queens Bridge. Got you. You know, that's how much, you know what I'm saying? He embraced the hood. Yeah, because they said Pete from Hempstead.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Eric B from Long Island. I know Rock Kim from Long Island too. And did you know Nyes before all that shit? Like before? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Before the whole rap thing took off like that? Yeah, yeah. I knew Nyes since I was about seven, eight.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Oh, right, copy. You know what I'm saying? We used to go to the same daycare together, all of that. And then I hung back out with doing when I was about like 14, 15, we used to hang out, shit like that. I knew his mom's, you know his brother and all that. So when y' y'all started making music and all that shit together. music and all that shit together. Well, you know, we didn't really make music together until like both of us made it.
Starting point is 00:43:28 You know what I mean? He made it first. I made it second. Me and P made a second. And, you know what I mean? Nah, he jumped on iPhone now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:41 By, I for a four, I. We hit this together. We didn't get together. Look at the fuck the fuck up. Let's talk the fuck up. We didn't this together. So you're up. That's why Jay had to get at the mall.
Starting point is 00:43:55 That's why Jay had to get at the mall, nigga. Come on, they was the greatest. You know, let me blow shots at these niggas. You know what I'm saying? Let me blow shots at Nyes. Because Brooklyn, was Biggie out yet? Biggie out.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Biggie out. You had Biggie out. Big was out. I saw y'all really, y'all had Big and J. But niggas, we can't forget about Capone and Noriega. Strategy Cadfee. Queens was running. running shit at that point.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Yeah, yeah, I had the wave. But the mob, without everybody, tragedy, Gaddafi, all of them niggas was fired, but the mob deep was like, everybody, no, like I said, a lot of niggas, even Brooklyn rappers, none of them really had, some of them Brooklyn rappers don't got blood sport records. Like, like, Shook Ones was like, when that shit came on in the clubs, because I've been in, things I understand, I've been in every club that been shot up, every hole in the world club. How about some hardcore? Yeah, we like the rock, pause. Might have to say pause, right, damn.
Starting point is 00:44:53 That was fun. Y'all got that one. I reckon was fun. But if we have a debate. MOP. But if we have a poll. Brooklyn, Nick. If we have a poll, if we have a poll, pause.
Starting point is 00:45:06 I guess. I'm a shook one. Shook was real murder music. Like, when that came on, it's time for DJs to pack up. You heard Eddie? It's time to pack up. That's when you know, oh, shit about to get shot up. These niggins in here.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Oh, shit, it's crazy. Pack up the records. Like, you know, when that shit come on, in the first, it wasn't, and the thing that makes Shook wins a Hall of Fame killer record is because when that shit come on, that's when you start packing up. That's you stuck off the middle. A lot of Brooklyn niggas don't got shit like that. Shut the fuck up, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:41 I try to tell him, that's fight music. Prodigy, come on, Prodigy, Willie was on the same level as Jay. Jake, he got that because the best kid at the best. Bob Deek, look, Tupac was mentioning him. Come on, nigga. The takeover was about, the takeover was... I always told me back on. The takeover was a distorse now.

Starting point is 00:46:49 It's a competitive sport, man. Battle tested. Mobb Deep got classic albums. Battle tested. You know what I'm saying? Whole of fame. So how has life been really a little bit as far as the music shit? Yeah, just everything overall, like without project.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Because I actually met his daughter one time. Shout out to his daughter. She had old team music and all that. Shout to her son too. How that whole transition been like still trying to make the music and all that shit? Man, it's very, very different. Like, you know what I mean? It's like, it's like night and day.

No matter what we went through, you know brothers fight. Of course, of course. Niggas go through shit and whatever, whatever. But, you know, every time I think about it, you know what I'm saying? That's it, it fucked me up. No, definitely.
Starting point is 00:47:38 It fucked me up. Because, you know, I lost my real brother in like-Kill-A-Blatt. Ninety-7. I was Killing. He was a crazy, nigger. Because y'all, y'all said, we felt like we knew him. him because you always said wrestling people. You're gonna be a lot.
Starting point is 00:47:52 You repped him a lot. That's a fact. What was the shit about what was the shit? What was the shit? What was the shit? I think when y'all was talking about the drinks. Drink away the pain. Y'all had so much, like that's what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:48:04 Mawd deep just got, I'm still bumping mom deep in the whip, dog. No facts. I play that shit. The beats, like your beats. Because I'd be trying to tap in sometimes, you know what I'm saying? Like to think about, you know, to talk to my 19 year old self, just listen to it real. just listen to it real quick and shit like that. But yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Yeah. Yeah. Because y'all niggas made some hits. Only one you didn't make was Shelter Alchemist, Keep It Thore. Which one? Keep it though. And that was fire. That was fire.
Starting point is 00:48:34 You know, because you know how I'd be feeling like with production, I don't know. Maybe I'm old school. I don't know. The beats was just different back then. Like it was like a nigga make a beat and nothing sound like that. Right. Like Quiet Stone or, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:48:49 Right, right. Nothing sounds like that. Like you, come on, man, you simple the shit out of Scarface and Godfather. Like, nigger, nobody was thinking like that. Godd. Godfather, part three, what? I'm surprised. To fly.
Starting point is 00:49:01 And yo, and the skits was crazy. You see that nigga right there? Yeah, right here, son. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, hit him, hit them, pause. Hit them, hit them, pause. Hit them, hit them, pause. You on point, you on point.

Starting point is 00:49:25 You gotta eat a hot dog. Gotta eat hamburgers and fucking. Everything is a fucking pose, man. I'm keeping it real, man. But what's that- What's that new shit they be having all live with the Jamaican voice be in the back of Banti, boy. Yeah, you better believe it.
Starting point is 00:49:44 You better believe it. Can't be playing out here nowadays, man. This shit too real, man. Everything is a pause, though. Go get the orange juice. Pause. Y'all got to put my dog. Wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:49:54 You got to say pores will get the orange juice. Yo, with this nigga, everything's. You get the orange juice. You're good with that, man. You're good. Like I said, beefing with pop. That was crazy. So when you heard the pop, when you heard Machiavelli,
Starting point is 00:50:07 do y'all like listen to the whole album when y'all was like... Nah, I ain't gonna lie. You ain't gonna lie. You ain't listen to the song? Nah, I never even really, at that time, I didn't listen to the whole album. But then I later, I listened to the disc record. I listen to the disc record.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I listened to the disc record, but I later on found out that he dissed a song like four songs. Like if you listen to the album, like he was going in. That's just the main one that everybody heard. Yeah, but he was taking a few shots. But if you go, if you listen to the album, you're like, oh shit, like he was like really pissed. He was angry. Y'all and Snoop was the first East Coast West Coast drama.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Yeah. It was like, you know how the West Coast is. West Coast best coast, cuz. Those cars, you know, L.A. is L.A. They stick together. Like, Detroit stick together. New York, we, you know, we used to stick together. Like, you used to be New York person. Did we? I feel like it was like that a long time ago. New York versus everybody. When?
Starting point is 00:51:01 You're talking about- Rappers used to come back in the mob deep days. Rappers used to come down here and get booked, not get greeted and all that. That's not sticking together because niggas came out and got raw. I be talking about it. Oh, that's different. Yeah, the niggins used to come and get up. But niggas wasn't sticking together.
Starting point is 00:51:20 But if New York go somewhere, they was old then, New York is in the building. Niggas is wilding. Like it used to be like that. But you know what though? Niggins did used to stick together, but it was behind the scenes shit that never got recognition. Like, you know, Big and Nyes, they visited each other's... But you never knew that. You start finding that shit out years later, like just now, damn, there.
Starting point is 00:51:41 You start finding out how cool it was. But you never knew that. Big Nyes? Put like this. Back in the days, you thought Big and Nyes didn't live. like each other. The way I used to look at it, it felt like it was competition where they didn't like each other. From the outside looking there, you would have thought they didn't like each other, have. Right. But you find out years later, these niggas was cool, pulling
Starting point is 00:51:58 up on each other, all type of shit. In the beginning. In the beginning. Yeah. Didn't they do a record for somebody to get? No, it wasn't them. They never had a record. Who? Biggie and Knows never had a record. They never had a record together. Nah. I was thinking about Shaq. But who Shaq had to get on the record back in the days? I forgot that. Biggie, nigga? He got bigger, but he had somebody else. He didn't have Nyes on there. It wasn't now. He had two people on the record that never did a record together.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Exactly. That's what I'm trying to think out who it was. He's the only one that did it. It might be, it might be. It might be, I don't record with Biggie. It might be. It might be in Nass and Biggie. Biggie and Nause never had a record.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Nah, but on the Shack record, Shack got two artists together that never did that. That's what I remember from back in the day. It's something like that. I don't remember it being Nass. I would remember that. It might be. Entrepreneur. Consuel.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Shut up, yeah, yo. All this I would have remembered that. All on one song. But they was on one song? One song. There you go. What the fuck are you talking about? All you don't know what you talk about.
Starting point is 00:52:59 They wasn't on one song? Biggie and Knives was on a song together? What? Never heard of that. Which one? He's saying it was on an album, but they wasn't on one song. But they all on different songs. None of them was on a song together?
Starting point is 00:53:12 No, Biggie and Niles was never on a song together, brother. Who Shack had on the record? Who was it? Shaq featured with what? Because he had two people on the same record It wasn't Niles and Biggie nigga I would have heard that record
Starting point is 00:53:23 Yeah Shaq featuring Biggie and who If you talk about that Make it that rain You can't stop their brain Yeah but that's on the album Well you know what Yeah
Starting point is 00:53:36 You might be right Yeah, I never did a song With Biggie It was a little something there You know how have you Just don't want to talk about it But now it's come up here Talk about it
Starting point is 00:53:45 A lot of niggas was mad. Think about it. A lot of niggas was mad at Nause and Mald D. We ran the game. Queens ran the game at that time. Like Jay and Big, they came, but come on. Maudeek was- Pause.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Pause. Yeah. So Mar-Dique was before Big, right? Y'all was, y'all before Big. All around the same time? No, no, no. Because Big had party and bullshit. Big came out first.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Big came out first, but we was out before Jay-Z. No, but Big had party and bullshit. What year, dog? Where year was partying bullshit? 93. Like, 93. 94 or 9. 9 4?
Starting point is 00:54:19 And what year his shipwins came out? No, no, no, no. It was 9 3 and then Biggie came out with his album in 9 4. What year the shook ones come out? 9 5. I mean 9 4, my bad. 9 4. 9 4.
Starting point is 00:54:32 And you said Biggie album came out of 9 4? His album came out of 9 4 and then we came out with shook ones in 9 4. Damn, I thought Shik ones came out before that. No, 9 4. And then we came out with the album in 9 5. You ain't a crook, son. Yeah, it's a shook one. You're just a shook one.
Starting point is 00:54:47 That was that shit, man. Yeah, because Queens was running shit. Nazz and them and Jay, you know, now Biggie and Jay was on the wall. Yeah, Queens was man. Now, Brooklyn had it, though. Brooklyn was running. Biggie. What you think Nause and Bigg ain't have a record?
Starting point is 00:55:02 Something there. That's this competition. That's the ego. You don't know how them balls. Biggie had balls. But if Nyes and Big was on a record, that's a debatable who got the best verse. who got the best verse shit. That's a real debate.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Of course that would have been a debate back then, man. Of course. Because you had a song with Jay, which was a classic. What was that? 22. Brooklyn record. Brooklyn Finest. Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Me, Jay and Fab. How was you feeling on the hour for or not? Because that was a classic. Is that the song that go, Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Brooklyn Finest don't go like that. No, no.
Starting point is 00:55:37 You talk about Brooklyn Finers. That's with Jay Z and Big. Oh, yeah. Oh, that one. Yo, but how was it? You produced out for a night, too, right? Yep. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:55:47 I did that. I did that. I made that right in the studio, right in front of everybody. This right this, made the beat real quick. That was in the bag on that. Did you produce more money, more murder, more homicide? No. Oh, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:56:00 No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I might have. You sure? I don't know. What the fucking? You know what? There's a lot of beats that I did that I'd be forgetting, you know?
Starting point is 00:56:11 What made you go on your scarface, bad? on that window because we was watching that shit every day. We was watching that shit every day. We was watching it every day. So I'm like, yo, this intro sounds crazy. Intro sounds crazy. So I made the beat in my head. Benita Applebone drums, Scarface B, fuck it, let's go.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Niggas this, smoke that shit. You don't know. You know, Benita Applebone is like such a classic from Queens, another one. Yeah. I remember when that shit comes on in the clubs back in the days, that's what I'm saying, like, shipwints, That, like, those like, I don't know, man, just for music, it was just a crazy time to be a young nigga in the club, man.
Starting point is 00:56:49 And them shit's come on. Like, I'm telling you, niggas getting any fucking eight-ball jacket stolen and shit. You know what I'm saying? Niggas get robbed for their shit. Once that shit. Come on, Sean. To all the killers in the $100 bellas.
Starting point is 00:57:03 And that shit, come on. Niggas who ain't got no family. Niggas just, oh! And did you? Because I don't been in parties and see niggas. South, son. North side. I remember being in parties like that.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Like, nigger, it'd be a whole bunch of Southside niggas, North side niggas, or whoever. I've been in house parties like that. Crazy. You know what I'm saying? Crazy. Because every, it was a lot of DJs around my way. Shorty Black, my man Lowe's, Troy.
Starting point is 00:57:31 They used to DJ mad parties. You know what I'm saying? So shit used to be. I remember a party in 1-27 America. That shit came on. And I'll never forget that shit. To all the killers in the hundred-dollar bills. Shout outside, niggas.
Starting point is 00:57:44 No, I'm shot, niggas. Shots start ringing off, nigger. Y'all heard rumors before back in days. Y'all was supposed to sign with Puff. That was true? Y'all was supposed to do some stuff with Puff? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, dead ass.
Starting point is 00:57:56 We used to, like, Pee. Paul, he said that dead ass, got to put me. Right, Paul, my bad. Dead ass. Damn, everything is something. Nah, I got to put my . Nah, it's getting ridiculous. I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Go ahead, for this is going to be there. Back in high school, me and P used to be. like, you know what I'm saying, going to check puffs sometimes. He had a club called, like, it was like Daddy's Night or Daddy's House. You know what I'm saying? Some shit like that. Pulse. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:26 I thought it was terrible. Yo, yo, yo. Yo, you. You know. It was getting mad ridiculous. I'm surprised. Hey, yo. Poor.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Hey, yo. I thought, oh, God. He just trying to say too much poor. No, no, that was crazy. She said it, Daddy's night, Daddy's. Yo, soon as I said it. Yeah, so as I said it, I see his eyes. Like, I said, yo, yo, you said it was Daddy's night.
Starting point is 00:58:56 I see his eyes. Yo, soon as I said, yo, soon as I said it, I was looking at it. I can't. I said Daddy's night. I'm like, what this is talking about? Now that supports. Oh, so Mar-Deeva's about to be in shiny suits Like the...
Starting point is 00:59:15 No, man. No, man. No, man. No, man, no, no, man. He had a, he had a club night, man. You know what I'm saying? He had a club night. We used to go there, you know what I'm saying, and chill.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Then we used to go to his record company and shit like that. And he wanted to sign us, but you know what I'm saying? The deal wasn't right. You know what I mean? The deal wasn't right. And we ended up signing to... what, far from Broadway, maybe, or something like that. That shit was whack.
Starting point is 00:59:44 And then we signed with Steve Rifkin, like a year later. So that probably was the best, one of the best decisions y'all, y'all made was not probably signing with Puff, correct? Yeah, because you already know he liked to control what the artists do as far as the music, how they look and all of that. We from the projects, like, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:04 But I'm not, you know, I don't, I don't think we would have listened to him, you know, I'm saying, like, I'm just gonna be honest. Nah, but he would have been like, yo, put this on. I don't think. Did he got game? Nah, we'd be like, no, we would have had our Tim's on. No, what happens is for the first time, you might throw the outfit on, like how a locks did back on.
Starting point is 01:00:23 I mean, listen. You're gonna be like, no more shiny suits. Listen, listen, you're gonna be like, I mean, listen, it can happen to anybody. For the bread. I mean, they probably did it because it made sense for the record, whatever they were shooting at the time. That's why they did it because because of what they were shooting
Starting point is 01:00:36 because of what they were shooting at the time. And to be honest, what I'm saying, What I'm saying, what I'm saying is back then, look. Biggie and them niggas, they was known for that fly shit. Mason them, look, cool geez and all that fly shit, the shiny suits. It wasn't the Lox image. So that's what they said no shableness. It wasn't, it wasn't the, maybe it might have not been in the image.
Starting point is 01:00:55 But I would say this, it was of the time. I'm saying, it was of the time. I didn't think it made them look crazy. Right, right. It didn't make niggas go, oh man, what they're doing? It was cool. It said looked it fly. Because you knew they was damn a puffing on top of that.
Starting point is 01:01:12 But they still said no, they're the ones that said no shiny suits, nigger. I mean, you're right. They probably didn't. That was classic. They probably didn't like it at the end of the day. They don't know, you know, that was classic hip-hop. But what I'm saying is, Diddy would have had, have it competing shiny suits? I don't think so, man.
Starting point is 01:01:26 I don't think so. I'll tell him, we wouldn't have wore it. We wouldn't have been able to come back to QB. Come on, son. We wouldn't, you know what I'm saying? I'm not saying, not saying nothing wrong with it, but I'm just saying, niggas is critical. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:01:44 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because when you think, when you think about the Timberlin wave, I know other, I think somebody was saying they did Timberlands first. I don't know who was. But I know New York from New York Timberlins, right?
Starting point is 01:02:01 When you think about the wave, it's like when you looked at you, Nause and Prodigy, the Army Jacket kind of shit came from you. The Army jacket with the line and the green shit. That's all we were in. That shit, like, them niggas had a style that was straight, grimy, but fly. It was affordable. I remember getting- It was affordable. I remember everybody got the arm to 10 Army jacket green, black with the 10 Tim's, you
Starting point is 01:02:25 was crispy and queen. Those was classic. They were starting waves. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Army went right to the Army and Navy store. Mm-hmm. So that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:02:36 With the locks, that's what I'm. What I'm saying? With them, it's like, Did he just had, you know, Biggie was like the first fat nigga you've seen really get fly besides pun. Know what I'm saying? Because that Coogee shit. Heavy D was on his fly shit. Oh yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Heavy D. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was. He was. He was. I can't, rest in peace, heavy D. That was one of my overweight lover. That was, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:02:56 Is that the pause? Yes. You said that was one of my like. Nah, I said that was one of my favorites, the overweight lover. That was the name. Pause. Rest and peace heavy, is Heavy D? Is Heavy D?
Starting point is 01:03:06 Heavy D, rest in peace. Damn. Can't even say rest in peace, rest in peace, Heavy. But he was the first fat nigga. Or would you say the fat boys was the first fly niggas? You would consider the fat boys fly? I mean, if you got three movies under your belt,
Starting point is 01:03:23 that's some fly shit. You know what I'm saying? So we say, yeah, you would say the fat boys was the fly. For y'all, y'all y'all didn't know the fat boys. Fashion wise. I wouldn't say they was on no fashion fly shit, but they did some fly shit. It was early in the game when they came out.
Starting point is 01:03:39 They wasn't fast-me on the, they were mad. Yeah, they was just doing. I mean, they was on the Adidas' way. They had a little shit. They just was big niggas, you know? But Adidas, because remember back then, Adidas was kind of bigger than Nike. Then Jordan than Nike and all I came, because, you know, run DMC, shout to run DMC. My Adidas, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:03:58 I was like, everybody was running to get Adidas. You know what I'm saying? Like how girls was running to get Reeboks. The good old days. You know, barbecues not getting shot up, y'all. Bus trips, motherfuckers dancing doing backflips. Shut up back then too, man. No, it was, but you know, it was less shootings.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Maybe one or two niggas had the hammer. No, it was more. Maybe 20 niggas had the hammer, but they were chill. Right? They were chill. There was a lot of shoes back there, man. No, no, no. I'm not saying, Brooklyn was on fire. Yeah, but what I'm saying is,
Starting point is 01:04:27 Merck, but Merck, what I'm saying is, there'd be times where niggas that have beef and they weren't violate. The good old, high static and won't violet. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So for me, I'm like, now it's like more violence. Like I remember going to backyard parties. Yeah, some of them got crazy parties, but it wasn't like as crazy as now to me.
Starting point is 01:04:47 It was crazy, but you know what I was the day? So you know what I was. They highlighted more because of these cameras and shit, but back in the day, shit was going down, man. But if they didn't have a button back in the day, shit different. But that's switchy? Yeah. Wait, about that. Switches a lot.
Starting point is 01:05:02 The game is different, man. So have. Different, man. So have. Shout to 50, man. Shout to 50, the boss. You know what I'm saying? I mean, how was it when you're out signed? You know, mob deep sign, MOP sign. It was a big moment for Juni. We turned into a record label, an empire. You know, we was with the greats. We went on the anger management tour. I know y'all got the Twix-Shift. It's Stickship of Paws. It might be a Ports. Because I'm like, stick shift pause. Because you didn't know how to drive stick shift. No, I learned, I learned on that car that Fiv's got us. I learned. In like, three, it. Three days. Word up. And I became a pro at that shit.
Starting point is 01:05:38 But back then, yo, you know, it was mad fun, man. You know, Fifth called me up one day because we had got dropped from Job and Fifth called me. I never spoke to him on the phone before in my life. He's like, yo, this is 50. I was like, man, get the fuck out of it. He was like, nah, this is 50. So then we started kicking in. He's like, y'all heard your free agents.
Starting point is 01:05:57 I said, yeah, I fuck with him. You know what I'm saying? You got to holler at P. You know what I'm saying? Holladette P. And they said, you know, he was on G unit. and like almost immediately he was sending us songs, mad songs. So we almost had the album done.
Starting point is 01:06:10 And then we jumped on that, what? Was that Damasco tool? Yeah, no, I think, yeah, was it anger management? I think it was anger management. It was anger management because Eminem was there. Yeah, we had the buses with our faces on it, us. Yep, yep, that shit was crazy. And that's around the time that P had the bulletproof truck and all of that.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Yeah, P had the bulletproof. Let's talk about that. Pee had the bulletproof truck with the hammer on them. Going down on one way. I think he was trying to get the Alchemist condo right there on by Madison Square Garden. Yep, yep. So what was that like?
Starting point is 01:06:40 I know Scott Lehman was furious, but I'm shout to Scott Lehman, the lawyer. That shit was crazy because I already- Did you have a bulletproof truck too? Nah, nah, I passed on that. I was like, you know what I'm saying? That shit was a lot of money. Yeah, he had the bulletproof truck.
Starting point is 01:06:53 I always said why P had the hammer in the bulletproof truck, well, it makes sense. Pee was like that, you know what I'm saying? Throw something back. Yeah, P was like that. So, you know, he got the, He got the, he got the bulletproof truck. He's like, you're having one.
Starting point is 01:07:08 I get one. I was like, no, no, I'm good, whatever. So, but Pete always kept a hammer on him. You know what I'm saying? And, yeah. What was the first one of the singles with 50? Remember we were shooting a video on that like? Do you remember that?
Starting point is 01:07:24 What was that? That was the one with Buck was on that. Give it to me, baby. Don't play games. No, there was when y'all shot in LA. That wasn't it. You saw? You saw?
Starting point is 01:07:36 You forgot what it was. Was it? No, I was, I think I got... It wasn't out of control, because out of control was in New York. Yeah, I think I missed that one. Out of control was a real. It was one y'all did in L.A. I'm trying to think.
Starting point is 01:07:52 What video was it? Because I never forget that. You remember when, rest and peace, my man, pretty shy? The girl came on set for the video. video with the baby. You remember that? Nah. She was like, Shia, where are you? I got your baby. That shit was crazy. Word.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Back in the days, it was y'all video shoot with 50. I remember that shit in that. I don't remember what song was, because we did so many, you know what I mean?

Starting point is 01:10:57 eventually that shit going to change, you know what I'm saying? And I would be of the older generation and they'll probably make some shit that I don't understand, you know what I mean? But me being a music person, I appreciate it, you know what I'm saying, for what they're doing, however they doing it, even if it's not some shit that I would make. And I just, I always say it like this too. I ain't like everything in the fucking 90s, you know what I'm saying? So I ain't going to like everything now.
Starting point is 01:11:24 You know what I mean? But there's some shit out there that I do like. So, you know, I ain't mad at the state of hip hop.
