There ain't no age now. And by the way, man, I may blow the whistle when I was 40 years. old. There's some more noise for that. Motherfuckers. 40. Young whippersnappers. Yeah, yeah.

What up, y'all? This is your boy Joe Cracked the Dawn. Leg fixing. Yeah. So it is your boy, Jaylor. Golly Fraks show. Joe and Jaylor show. Every show legendary.

Every show iconic. And that's an understatement. That's an understatement with today's guests. When you think of today's guests you got to think about

Real West Coast Foundation you know I mean you got to think about independence before

independence was a wave Trump music yeah real hustle set in the blueprint you're talking

about a man with six platinum albums classics like the ghetto getting it Shake that monkey

And one of the biggest records in hip-hop history Blow the whistle The only artist To drop albums across five different decades The only artist to work with Tupac Biggie and Jay-Z

Co-founder of Mount Westmore Entrepreneur Film producer Sports team owner Got his own street in Oakland, his own day in the city. Yeah, run it down. Still outside.

Still active. Still dropping. Bay Area legend. Yes. Oakland's finest. That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, don't even clap yet. Too short is in the building.

Bitch! Make some door. He's such a bitch. So short, we just said, now you made Carmelah Harris say bitch behind the scenes. We interviewed her. You know, she's from the Bay Area. And he said, what's your favorite word? She said, bitch while she was running for president.

That shit is legend. I got a hit. Well, I was there for that. Like me and him interviewed her for BET. Behind the scenes, I was like, yo, you're lax of that shit. Yo, what's your favorite word? She said, bitch, going for president, my nigger, like, this is too short. What kind of impact is that?

I said this to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis that they should be the music. When you Google, their names, the music symbol should come up. When you Google your name, longevity should come up. What you did in the game is probably never be done again. No, I won't. ever. It can't be done. It's like four people I would love

to have the career. Short. L.L. Ice team. And Buster and Snoot. If I could have a gumbo of all your careers, I'd be like fucking mouth.

They got the most years we're getting the most money for the most amount of it. You on there too. I'm gonna let them talk. Don't forget. Fuck me. You're gonna let somebody talk. Go ahead.

Is this still happening a lot? Three words, man. Don't stop rapping. Fine. Don't stop. Don't stop rapping. When I came up in the game, when they gave the mic, that was like a prize. And like, in my mind, I'm like, I'm never giving it back.

Like, I'm not spitting 16 bars. I'm spitting like 60 bars, 100 bars. I'm just going to keep going until somebody, remember that shit? Somebody got to come up and pry the mic out your hand. Everybody's sitting around there and trying to take a turn. Like, you're not getting it from me. So that's how I live in my career, man. It's just, I'm never going to stop.

When I got some street money, just selling tapes. Didn't have to go get no job at McDonald's, none of that shit. I'm like, we keep selling these tapes. When I got some independent money doing it myself, I'm like, shit, this shit's kind of nice. I'm going to keep doing this. It was just the rap music, man. When I got signed to a major label and they fucking check came six months later,

I was like, I do is rap to get this? Just don't stop rapping. So that was my theory, man. Just keep fucking spit. You know what happens in life Is everybody got this Not everybody But a lot of people got this

Keeping up with the Joneses Yep Right Or keeping up Whatever they call a status quo I believe in hip hop Sure I want you to sell 100 million records

But I believe in hip hop As an art form Where the guy that's rapping in the fucking lounge right now Somewhere Or doing karaoke Or doing they're doing what they love to do.

So I respected India, I read, as much as I respected fucking the biggest Beyonce. Because India, I re has something to say with the art, right? I always took that perspective because I grew up with the underground. And I do the same, you know, when I was 30, I was like, why are these niggas rapping at 40? Then I got 40 and said, yo, they still. paying me to do this shit.

So I believe in we got to keep putting out music, keep putting out art and don't stop. I agree with what you said. You know, one of my favorite records in the world, I know I'm skipping the whole lot, but one of my favorite records ever is, but you

want to get Fat Joe to dance like, embarrassing with Remmy and be like, yo, sit the fuck down. Remi don't want me to dance. She's thinking I'm Fat Joe, the gangstown, I ain't supposed to dance. that blow the whistle, come on. I don't give a fuck. I could be in the moon with marstice.

Blow the whistle. When that blow the whistle, when that blow the whistle, you definitely know. When y'all did that shit in the studio, did you know before you put a verse on there? But first of all, that's a little John beat. Little John's a DJ first. And then a producer.

been an artist and he knows. He just knows. He knows how to grab that thing that makes the people. Well, what I'm asking is when you heard the instrumental, you knew this is a smash hit or was it after you made it down? So first, he plays a beat and I hit a little whistle. And my first intention was, you know, of course it's got a party vibe.

It's got that good energy. But I was like, let me play on the whistle and just talk about, I got into like sports references about throwing the flag and blowing the whistle and shit. And just like, like, the whole concept is like, you're trying to do too much. You're trying to be like us. That's just too much for you. So we're going to just call a penalty, throw the flag.

You know, you're out of pocket. I never knew with this record, man. I just love this shit. It's like a warning. I'm sitting there telling you a song. I'm talking about drugs and all this shit. I just, you just. Yeah.

That's why I name, I dropped, I name drop us, Snoop Dog, T-I, MJ, G-A-Ball, U-G-K. I'm like, these are all my fellow rappers who rap about that Pimp player's shit. And I'm like, don't try to be like us. Like if you can, but if you do, we might have to throw the flag on you. And I was just playing on the words. And then after it's done, and we're in the studio, we like, you know, sometimes the hair start tingling a little bit.

You're like, I think this one of the ones, man. And I think one of the best things about that song was I was on Drive Records when I dropped that. And Barry Wise and the whole staff, they promoted that record for like a week, maybe two weeks at the most. And then they backed off. and I feel like if they would have believed in it, it would have went big and it would have went away. But the fact that it had to like creep this way, creep along on its own. You know, the record was all said and done.

And one day, Jay-Z got mad at some motherfuckers about LeBron and did a remix. That shit just went on the East Coast. And it would just pick up in different cities after it was old. And I mean, songs don't do that on their own. That shit got legs.

No, songs don't do that on their own. Yeah. So it got some ingredients in it, man. You brought up a name Barry Weiss, man. Shout out to Barry Weiss because I've seen him keep it real with his artists. In other ways, I was really impressed because, you know, I really don't trust these kind of people, but I seen them hold his artist down, like, behind the scenes.

And I was like, oh, this guy's a real one. For what? I never did business with Barry Weiss. I'm just saying, I seen them hold niggas down when you did, you know, In the darkest hour, I seen him come through like a shining night. He started off, he started off small, man. He knows, he knows how to, you know, he knows the other side of it. But he's a record guy.

Don't get a twist. He's a record. He's a record exact. But yeah, man, I think that was a blessing of the fact that they didn't just blow it out the water from the start. It helped the song. You know, I don't want to say your age because I don't know your age, but I'm pretty old myself. But I remember watching you before me. And that's hard to do.

I remember coming home from school watching. Me too. Amen. And you sitting on the car, you all listen. I'm like, yo, this thing is too. Me, you started talking that shit. Like, you was, like, mad young. Recently in the 6-0 club, man.

Fire. God bless you. Very recently. Come on, man. What the fuck they talk about we can't get money? There ain't no aging out, nigga. And by the way, man, I made blow the whistle when I was 40 years old. there's some more noise

than that. Motherfucking. 40. Young whippers snappers. Not. Hit one out the park at 40. Yeah, exactly. Sean Peckar down in Florida

looking at the 55 and older a place to live. He said, yo, man, these niggas is playing golf. They got a softball league for 70 and over. I see, yo, Becker, get the fuck off my phone

with that bullshit. You're talking over there to 55 and old the village. Yo, these people got golf carts and shit. Pharmacies, yo, the shit, these, man, listen, we're going to play this shit all the way out.

You already know when it's a real moment, you need a real bottle. That's why we rocked with 1800 tequila. You heard me? These people were making tequila for 11 generations. That's right, 11. That's a legacy. That's OG status.

OG. They were the first to introduce a Nejo, set the stand. before most of these brands even existed. And you could taste the difference for real. The 1800 Cristolino and Repasado was what we've been on lately. Smooth, clean, elevate. No burn, no rough edges, just a premium pore that speaks for itself.

You know when it's something that's just built right? That's what this is. Real talk, that's just what it is. It's always around for the best nights, the wins, the celebrations, to remember that night's story? Whether you're keeping it low-key with the crew or you're pulling up to a big event, 1800 fits every setting.

It ain't trying too hard. It's just that. 1800 tequila, real legacy, real smooth. That's the move. True, true, true. One. And everywhere I see too short, he looked very comfortable like he's having that time.

That's 60s like 120. Because I never see you not party. I'm just saying, man, it's a lifestyle, man. It's a way of life. It's this hip-hop shit. We're not supposed to sit on the end of the bench and be the player or coach who never gets in the game. We're not supposed to be on the porch in the rocking chair

telling stories about when he was on tour and when you was out in the trenches and all that shit. We're supposed to stay active, bro. Stay active. That's that whole hip-hop culture to me. Like, I watch record labels play niggas out before they were played out. Yeah. Guys were 25 and they were.

playing them at the old school at noon and shit. Like, they're like, so the major labels control the whole industry at the time. And what they would do is like, all right, I'm up with him. I did two, three hours with him.

Say, jagged edge, say, 112, whatever like that. And they'd be like, all right, we're dropping them. So let's feed them to the old school at noon. I never understood these shit. These dudes was 20-something. I think hip-hop.

But guys, like a Jay-Z. Guys like Dr. Dre, guys that just said the masterpiece and the babies and they just say, yo, there's nobody aging us out. We just going to keep going

and getting to the bag. I think that's a hip-hop thing. You being 60, I can't tell you 60 by the way you're dressing. You see you fly, like, you know, that's some hip-hop shit. That's the old Y-N subject, the old young niggas.

No, we all. young niggins. They're actually trying to clown that genre now. Like, you old niggas need to sit down trying to be flying shit. Fuck that, man. Fuck all of that. All that.

I tell a young nigga every day. You wish you could be an old young nigga one day. You wish you could be a 50-year-old rapper and get money. You wish, man, don't clown that shit. But, but you can be a lot. A system. Not getting old. Let me tell you something.

I said something recently. I think it was D. I was in the Harlem talking my shit on the block. And I said, and I maintain it. There's something that I really, really understood when I was 30. Unfortunately,

they don't respect an old nigga without the bag. You got a bunch of broke niggins in the comment. Like, yo, if it was about that to me, like, yo, bro, let me explain something. Everybody had the same 24 hours. Everybody had the same life. Fortunately, God shine the light on us. But what I'm saying is I realize that young niggas don't respect the niggies if he don't dress good.

If he ain't got a bag, he ain't getting to it. So I always knew, yo, the only way these young niggas is ever going to really listen to us or follow us is if they like, you get, I'll give you somebody. No, there's another way you can make them listen to. I don't know. Listen, so, you know, when I see young artists Lotto or this one or that one, these young artists come up to me, they'd be like, yo, gee, you get to the bag. They're not confused with the bag chaser. You know what I'm saying? And I've always felt like, you know, because you got an old broke nigga talking about what he used to have or how he used to this.

I just personally never wanted to be that guy. Even when they took all my money, I knew, yo, put your head down. I always said, when they took all my money, I said, listen, right now I'm in the ocean and I'm swimming for the first sight of land. I'm going to just keep swimming. I ain't going to stop until I touch some land.

Oh, man. Driveling or swimming? Huh? You dribble a little swimming. No, you're swimming. I don't even know how to swim like that. I get it with your shit, bro. The point I'm making is,

I'm not going to be that. I made a conscious effort my whole life to never be the guy that had a run and he used to have and you remember when Fat Joe used to dry the bends? Remember when I'm the desk in my DNA? That's the rocking chair. You're on the porch.

All you got his stories left. We ain't doing that. But I think the young homies, man, they do respect when you got the bag. I know that all my life as a youngster people would give me really good advice and that shit would be received differently like if you got a, if you're my high school counselor

and you drive a pento every day and you're trying to tell me, stay on the right path, do this stuff like, you got a panto, nigga. Or a fat nigga, a fat doctor telling you to lose weight. Even though they tell the truth,

you haven't gone to the doctor is a fat nigga and he's telling you, yo, you really got to lose weight, your cholesterol, you're my man. Get the fuck out of here with that shit. But now we got to let these youngsters know, though, man. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, stay on your grind, keep busy.

If you fall off, find a way to fall back on. But at the same time, this shit gets better, man. It gets better. If you can survive the game, it gets better. Like young and having money is so fun. But OG having money is way more funner than when a nigga was young. Because you learn more, you learn how to do it better. You learn how to travel better.

You learn how to eat better. Problem with OG get money is your family waiting at the Raptors. Yeah. They want that bread so legend, man. I cry every day that she go ding-dong. And if FedEx come with boxes that stand up, you know that shit is like a fur or something. I'm looking at that shit.

I don't even want them to open that shit up in my face. I'm like, dang, we don't did some other shit, we don't went on another shopping street. That's the difference. You know what I'm saying? But you're right. You know, being the OG, you got to have your AARP machine

by you hear the shit, keep the bones, keep your fluidity going. Yeah, man. Show them by example, man. When they see a big, OG pull up in a big whip, like, man, I want to be like that motherfucker right there.

Like, show him in it. I don't like the ageism and hip-hop. I don't like it. Fuck that shit. I don't like it. No. And you know, they don't happen in any other music. Like, I'm going,

to, you know, KeySweig got Fat Joe a lot. One of my favorite artists, whenever he called him. He got him. Like, he didn't, he didn't. I didn't he tell him, I come, like, with a silent package, Joe. We're doing New York. Don't worry, Fat Joe's doing the greatest hits. He don't even ask me.

He called me up. I say, yo, Keith, he said, you coming, right, nigga, you're going to perform? I said, Keith, who love you more than me? He goes, nobody. I said you're motherfuck motherfucking been catching me with that shit

for the last 30 years but Keith Sweat get money I'm telling you every other genre the R&B, the ladies the disc they get big

fucking backs can people come up to me and be like yo Joe promoters I know be like yo Joe

I want to book Keith sweat for a cruise I know that's your man and I hear the number for a nigga who came out in the early 80s

nigga I'd be like damn, this thing, and then you look at their schedule, they book five days a week. They caked up. And so hip-hop, one thing, you know, we got to learn different ways of getting to the bag,

but in hip-hop, I learned that promoters play with hip-hop artists more than they do in any other genre. And, you know, that was the shit that got me, like when I went through the taxes, niggas who knew they couldn't touch Fat Joe for less than $50,000, like,

Yo, I mean, literally had promoter tell me, how many people want to hear a lean back, man? They're tired of hearing that shit. We got 12,000 for you. So here I'm doing four shows that I would have got on the low end of a normal show. Well, they know you fucked up. They play with you. And me, I don't make excuses.

My family ain't stopped getting burkins. They ain't stopped eating lobster. My mom's ain't move out of the house. So I got to go and do the four shows. to come back with the 50. Like, yo, we good. Let's go eat some shit. You know, I'm back.

Fucking Timbuktu, China, wherever. I got a no stone. Yo, I done did a no stone unturned on this earth. I don't perform in places. You care. I'm about. But guess what? As rappers, we've never had jobs.

I never had a day job. I had a job maybe when I was 15. but it's been hip-hop food ever since. And yeah, we had the moments. We had the moments, man. I went through a phase where I was like, it's the Monday night price,

Tuesday price, the Friday price, Saturday. And you can get a nigga good on a Tuesday Wednesday. Rick Ross believing that. I've never seen a guy who does a $250,000 show in Dubai and the next day he's performing in a barn

in Chattanooga. Well, he don't give a fuck. He'll take the $250. The next day, he'll take the $10,000. Rick Ross got a different philosophy than me, and it looks like it's working out better his way. Because this nigga got yachts, planes, houses on the water. I can't do it.

You know, like I said, promoters play with rappers more than any, and I just felt like, yo, I'm at a certain price range where you can't get me for the low. But Rick Ross don't give a fuck. he'll go on a Tuesday to Memphis, go pick up 15 grand. I think his way is smarter. I think at the end of the month, he just goes like, you know how the dealer does and take all the money when the shit is over?

He'd be like, all right, I'll take it everything. I made my quote for the month. I made this. I understood that. I just can't do that. Like, you know, I don't know. I just, my ego was something. It's never like a hustler.

Back up against the wall. You do it. Oh, I did it. I was so sad. But it ain't, I was going to shine up for $12.000. We ain't in the waters right now, though. Texas is big right now. Let me tell you something.

Guestrars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Chrysall, the mayor himself,

Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more. Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised, not just words, but a song, a melody. Well, I thought he was going to write. I thought you were all going to write a song. I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia. Hey, yo, rewatch on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I remember one birthday performing somewhere like the Philippines, not even a regular, not China, not Japan. That shit was like, Philippine, Korea, Singapore, some shit. And it was my birthday. And I remember performing on my birthday like, yo, my holiday, the mighty have fallen. and you got to just be like, yo, and you out there for the 12,000, you took that 20-something mile flight,

and you just like, yo, I got to do. But I never, I never came to my family on my knees. I never came and said, you can't get that Chanel. You can't live on the water. You can't. I just say, yo, Joe, we got to go out there and get that bitch, you know.

And so everybody, you know, careers are like the stock market. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes, you know, this guy shows no emotion. And he's had a pretty traumatic career financially with whatever he dealt with. And he's never happy. And so the other day, oh no, the guy's never happy. What is he doing this?

You're okay. That's your man. All right. You can throw one too for him. You know, what's got to be. Your man never had. Let me tell you something. Yes.

Never happy. It's crazy. Let me tell you. Can I say something? You have built-in happiness. You got a poker face. That motherfucker never happened, right? So the other day, I don't know if you know, it was a moment. The other day we get off the stage with Jay-Z, which was a history, which I had to convince

this guy to not go to Summer League to do the fucking biggest concert ever created in the history of mankind. The man we performed and Beyonce just went on and Bianana just walked by we closed the show Most legendary show in New York history

I had to actually grab his shoulder I don't know if he thinks I was blow big He thinks I was drunk I was dead so I grabbed the show that I said yo Well that moment was dead

I ain't not telling you about the moment Play for play Let me hear you I grab him in the shoulder I say yo kiss Are you happy No, I had to ask the dick.

No. No, because I'm confused, right? I have to grab him on the shoulder. He don't tell me I'm cap it. Throw the flag. I said, you thought I didn't even remember that. That was a good one. I said, yo, kiss, are you happy?

I was in his face. I was tight. No. He should have asked. And I was like, I'm like, I should ask you. You're a special guy, man. Let me tell you. And he says, hey, he says,

You want me to say what you say? Yeah. He said, yo, I'm more happier than I haven't been in my life, but it's scary. I'm so happy. So I'm just like, I got to be careful or whatever. That's how you responded. I was like, wow, he's happy.

Because to me, I don't give a fuck. I'm skipping to my loo. They're coming up to me everywhere. I go shopping in the store. Like, yo, Joe and Jay, the fucking right, nigga. Fucking right. Number one, right? Number one.

You say, yo, no, I'm skipping to my loo. Like, you know, I don't understand. My partner is, Tom. I would play that shit in an encealant, too. I would do the biggest shit in the world to act like nothing just happens. I do it like that. Is that like a style like that? Is that part of the swag or something?

I think it's kind of hip-hop, man. You can't really show your true emotions. It's definitely pimping. You got to wear the mask, man. Your game face all the time. You know, we had holes We had holes in pimps And Hunts Point

And right here, right outside this building I had a little documentary about that shit Hookers at the point Hookers at the point Where I was in Bay Area Was the last place With real pimps with feathers in their hats I used to go to 24 hour dining

It was nothing but pimps and holes in that motherfucker That was the last remaining True pimps with the fucking wheel In the back of the car And the Cadaxx That was an era The new era of pimps look like rappers.

They pimping right now. You would never know. You probably think that's an upcoming rapper. Like, how does this nigga have so many chains? It's alive and well. It's alive and well? It's alive and well. It's flourishing.

You know, it's a different, they call that shit human trafficking now. No, I'm being real. It carries a lot of weight. Like, it's very risky. What? It's very risky. That shit like a riko.

That's worse than a week. You might as well robbed this seven. 11. It used to be two years lockdown is now 20. 20. Sexual trafficking. Human trafficking.

Just one little human. One little shlipper. It's a fine line with that shit. But I'm telling you. They're out there. Any way you're going to get a dollar. Any way somebody can get a dollar. Good or bad, evil, nice.

They're going to do it. It ain't about human trafficking. No, it's about teamwork. Teamwork. You've got great minds together to figure out how to get all this money in and what we're going to do with it. There's a pimp a hole

and a trick in every situation. There's a pimp a hoe and a trick in every scenario. Right about now. How are you doing success? We better start downplaying your success

because now you meet a mama seada in New York. She's like, puppy my link, you ain't even touched that shit. Puppy my land back six months. My baby father, no pay.

You got to see money? Like now, shit crazy out here. Like, it's like... Huh? My name. Bobby. They're not even killed.

They're not wasting no time. They used to be like, all right, do you like me or right? Buy me something. Now it's like, hello. On the intro, now you want the shit. I stole that ship and your man,

Mr. Perfect. The nigga with a good teeth over there. That's the perfect. That's crazy. It's the perfect. What's your man's name? That's that? No, Honey Perfect.

What's your money? A hundred perfect What? Honey perfect. Hold them a hundred perfect. Hundred perfect. Hunter Summers. Yeah, I'm getting my teeth done on Tuesday.

You know, let me tell you something. Your shit is perfect. What else you're going to do to? No, I need that. I need that smile. I need that. 3D. Where any angle you catch this shit,

this shit just smiling and shit. You just like, that niggias. I got to show you my happiness. I'd be like, yo, nigga, you see that smile 360 for the peripheral. That shit got to come through. And so they fake me out. I'm scared of flying. I'm scared of dentists.

Although I love my dentist, Dr. Fad. Jay, do you want to hear my Fat Joe story? Hell you. Let's get it. Let's get to it. So we young rappers out here. I'm coming in New York. I'm doing my promo shit out here.

Fuck more giant records, whatever. And I see Joe somewhere. and he showed me a lot of love. He's like, yo, sure, I know what's up? We chopping it up. We always chopped it up. And he said to me, he said, whenever you in New York,

fuck with me, hit me up. Let's hang on us do some shit. So I went back to some New York people I knew. And I said, Fat Joe told me, you know, when I get out here, you know, hook up with him hang out. They said, do not hang with Fat Joe in his crew.

Don't fuck with them, crazy Puerto Ricans. Do not do it. Them niggas is trouble. Oh, shit. We never hung out a lot. And that's why somebody said, if I hung out with you, he was going to have me out there while

and then fucking Bronx doing shit. He was a bad influence, man. Let me tell you, they gave you the wrong advice. Young Joe, young Joe. We come through. We come through. Joe was going to have me up in the Bronx, man, doing wild shit.

I probably was going to be one of the two. You probably would have 18 Puerto Rican babies. If you would have, you would have met a million J-Loz, niggins. You talk about pimping. You just came up. You'd have came up top. You'd have been like, oh, shit.

You'd have been fucking Guaya Vett on. T.J. You'd have been up in that Jimmy's cafe. Like, yo, this shit crazy out here. Nah. He definitely would have been in Jimmy's. What? They gave you the wrong advice.

But, you know, it was more of a, of a, damn, who said it the other day. It was more of like, when we came up, you know, everybody had an ice cream. And you're looking at your man across the club. And he's looking at you. You can go, you can't even tell a joke, a story. Because out here, they take kindness to weakness over here. So all this fat Joe, you're seeing now that I tell stories, I'm joking, I'm this. You couldn't do it.

You just couldn't do it. Because even niggas you was with would take kindness for weakness. Fat Joe at the tunnel. I got a better one for you. Everybody keep bragging about how dangerous the tunnel was. Big Pund used to go in a bathrobe with a million dollars of jury in his boxes in a bathrow. I don't know what they talk about, how dangerous it was. One was in there in a bathroom every Sunday with a million in jury and no problems.

No problem. They just went the other way. But I've seen some shit in there, legendary rap-on-rap crime. No, I've seen some shit I will not discuss because I respect everybody. Nah, I respect everything. The one thing that happened to me there, the one thing that made me, look,

I'm a loyal guy, I won't double-cross you. That's why I love McTenningham out there because, you know, I was real hot. In L.A., I had like mega, mega-beef out there And then, you know, I'm the only rapper from New York that ever gave it. But I'm just saying physical. So when I was out there, it was like, they were like, oh, we're going to tear him up. And I've been in some situations where Mack stepped up front line.

It was like, nigger, he would. It is what it is. Yeah. I got to respect that in any weather. So I'm in the studio with Mace. Bad Boy telling a million jokes, you probably was there. We all was there. we had the best time in my life.

I always love Mace. The next day I'm in the tunnel on a Sunday, this nigga Big El come up to me and Big El digging in the crate. Crack! You got your niggins with your head. Y'all got to see somebody. Come on.

The nigger walk up to Mace and start talking crazy. And Mace looking at me. You know, this is crazy what I'm telling you. Because I hate that. Because Mace looking at me the whole time. Like he's seen the 24th the rican niggins and all.

He's looking at me like, yo, crack, I was with you to six in the morning, nigger, telling jokes. And I had no fucking clue that Big Al was going to step to Mace. But I looked like a foul nigger. I don't think Mace ever trusted me after that time.

He looked at me. No, no, because it's a look. It's a look. Back to where that shit recently happened to me. But it wasn't no violence, but no, no. Not. You know, I'm going to just say, Caled, the most peaceful man in the world,

seeing somebody who been talking about him or whatever, who's beyond the biggest ever created in the history of the world. This might have been the richest argument I ever seen. And the guy, Callet, is talking very aggressive. You don't want to know. Very, very, like, yo, nigga. Like, you think it's just because you. You see me with my...

And the guy the whole time's looking at me. He's my friend. Like, you're my friend for 30, 40 years. He's looking at me the whole time. I'm like, you letting this nigga talk like this? He's looking at me like, yo, crack for real. You're letting it...

I see, yo, I keep grabbing Keller. Like, yo, Kelly. Like, come on, man. Stop. But the guy he arguing with ain't even looking at him. He's looking at me like this. That's what we're saying, man. Fat Joe, the enforcer.

The whole moral of the story. So you were smart. Your people were smart. They kept you out of that shit. Man, he would have a time of his life, old man. He was going to have me. I was going to be a Bronx gangster. No, you was going to be good.

They always love you. You made your own music box. I don't know if he was 184. If I used to buy weed from the Dominicans on 184, if that was about far as I got, that's fine. That's his stomping ground. That's a stomp of gas.

I don't smoke, but I know that's a fire. I don't smoke, but I know that is. I know every weed spot Jada kiss went to. They'd be like, yo, your man, Jada kiss just love here. I was like, oh, really? And I had them jars in Harlem. You said, every weed spot I went.

Jars at the candy store? I was up in that, motherfucker. Post Avenue, all that. Every weed spot I ever passed because I knew them. I was there. I didn't smoke, but I knew them. I passed by. You know, I love doing this still to this day.

I love driving a new fresh week. You know what? You know what lyric hits me? Incredible every time the nigger hove said Dun ain't lie I'd have came through the block and everything that's fly

But I wanted to ask you something that slipped my mind because we talk and we shoot the shit. ATL. You're one of the first guys I ever met in the ATL. I don't know if you know. And you was out there early.

Some of the stories that you've seen people come up. I know you was out there when Pock was out there And like, what was that like? You was a early guy in the ATL. What said, I'm moving at ATL. I'm setting them shot from the Bay Area. Like what made you move that ATL? What's some of the things you saw that was amazing to you out there?

I already had connections out there. Some of my people had moved from Oakland out there. I had already had a connection to Atlanta when I was a kid. I stayed out there briefly. so I had a couple of people that I knew I had been going to Atlanta since my music took off and, you know, when I get to ATL back in like late 80s, early 90s, they treated a nigga like Michael Jackson.

Like it was, you know, they're like, superstar status. So I go to Freak Nick 93 and have like the time of my life. I'm like, this shit is just too much motherfucking fun. And I went back for a member of Jack the Rapper Convention. Yeah, I was on there. So I go back to Jack the Rapper in this place I was seen. I just slid onto some neighborhood.

Bobby a little crib posted up in Atlanta I'm coming out there with the you know with the California whips and shit we already got big rims and shit touching down they like You had that black on black Ben's

I had a new car in 90 days it was a new whip every 90 days but I get out there right Eric Sturman is out there because remember him and Eric him and Parrish split up so he went to Atlanta

Yeah. That's everybody. You called it. When he was neighbors. Yeah. My neighbor, we did a lot of shit together. Bobby Brown was out there. Wow.

Bobby Brown, Tupac was out there. All these niggas was like, they having it. They weigh up. M.C. Bree. Breed was out there. And Bree is my homie. That's my guy. That's the piece of MCBree.

And I get out there. Now, I'm not one hundred than, Bobby Brown, but I'm as wild as. And everybody else is kind of like in their little space. Tupac's the wild motherfucker when he wants to be. Yeah. But Bobby Brown is the wildest. And I seen that thing at Magic City one night.

I was like, I know what I need to do out here. I need to be like Bobby Brown. I'm about to be out here having the time of my life. And it was just, it was at a point in my career where I'm probably on platinum album number four. And I'm like, I'm about to fucking set up shop out here and have time of my life. Boy, you had the time of your life. And it just happened to be so timely that the next year after I moved out there, here comes outcast, goodie mob.

You know, the Atlanta music scene just started blowing up. And I'm like right there at the birth of it. When I got there, it was... Inception. T.O.C. was singing, ain't too proud to beg. And, you know, Jermaine was out there early, too. Jermaine was just doing, Chris Cross. That was just happening.

Keith was out there. But Keith is a player. And Keith is like, he grabbed his little community. His little tribe. He'd be out of his house, out of Alpharetta somewhere. I mean, like, he's a little above the typical. Oh, he wasn't in the store you like that. He was.

He was. But he got to come to, you know, he wasn't, he wasn't. He wasn't in the church. He wasn't in the church. He didn't see Tupac shoot the cops. Yeah. Like that. You was out there.

I wouldn't see Keith at a little grimy strip club in Decatur somewhere. like we was doing, you know, Shaggy T, smoky-ass room, gambling on the pool table. I went to Atlanta and went in the trenches. My man, a big ex with the coalition DJs, Spirit Head X. He used to work for Dallas, Austin.

I'm like, ex, we're trying to get off work. Like, 6 o'clock, nigga, let's go. And we just, that nigga just had me everywhere. I remember I was scared to fly. I didn't give a fuck if I was in Texas. I was in Miami. I was anywhere. That tour bus will pull up to the ATS.

When I got to Atlanta, you could get a little. You get a laugh dance for $5. Oh, yeah. Strippers was $5.00. Like Magic City, why it costs you $10 or some other club, gold club or something, everything all over the city. $5.

You get $100 bill. Bitch dance for you all night, $100 a bill. I don't gamble. I don't gamble, but one night, part of Daddy's at the end of Continental. He got this big ass suite and they shoot with dice. Don't ask me out because I really don't gamble, but I take them for $4.

all his money. 40,000. That nigga way, he kept, it's so hard to be proud, Daddy, because he got so much money. He kept going back, pulling out an envelope with another $10,000. Coming back, and the rules is in New York.

You just can't leave with the money. You got to, you got a chance to win my money back. Give me a chance to win my money back. I took that nigga for like $40,000. Right? I leave. I think I'm doing some shopping.

I get a phone call. Yo, son, you took my money. Playboy, we got to go out tonight. You just can't this, this, this. So we end up in like Magic City. The man made me spend my whole $40,000. Yeah, to spend it and having fun with him.

The whole $40,000 throwing the money. He was like, yeah. And we're throwing the money and he's like, yeah, crack at this. And I'm like, Dan, this. And I'm like, Dan, this thing ain't want me to get away with one puff daddy, dollar, man. No way. We wind up throwing that shit in that Magic City. That

Atlanta's just different, man. It was different. And me, my experience with Tupac is I've never seen Tupac not beefing or beating somebody up or pulling out a gun. Like every time. The happy Tupac. No, I bumped into Tupac 20 times or 20 times he was giving niggas. Hell. One time I could say was PG-13. We in a movie theater, some, you know how they do the screenings of a movie and everybody in there like a celebrity or something.

It's phone rain. Like, nigga, what I tell you? Fuck you. suck my dick, yo hold up. He gets up, Tupac. He'd go out to the hallway. I mean, that was the nicest I ever seen Tupac Tupac.

Every time I see, he was beating niggas up, pulling out. He had a fun side, though, like, that I've seen many times. I never got that one. Tupac would, smile and laughing. Tell me a funny,

a nice guy's Tupac story because my experience, I've never seen it. The nicest I seen we in the movie did that he cursed a nigga out on the phone. Like, he was on some shit when I would see him. All I know is, um, don't bring your bitch around, Tupac. Too Puck.

Dude. You, you, you, yeah, dude. Don't bring your bitch around him. You must be as well, huh? You might as well just leave her when you get there. Just like, call me tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, all the hos.

He had all the hos. He had all the hos. Right now I think Drake, the new Tupac. I just seen some party he had. It was about 20,000 chicks and three dudes. You seen that footage? Holy shit. This guy, that's sketchy doing the...

I mean, he in New York doing shit. New York, they never did before. It's all good as long as they ain't cash-happing them, and then it's like a transaction. If it's just... I'm here because I want to be here. You cash-happ. I'm not saying, I'm not...

He's so rich. Nah. What makes it all bad? The cash app. Like, if you fucking... If you got to... If you got to pay the play. I sat down.

one day. I don't think, I don't think Drake got to pay the play. He might do it for a sport to sport,

but at the same time. He's too rich, new album, sir, too short. Volume 2, when is coming out? July 31st

album out. July 31st. That's right around the corner. Man, I'm getting that shit with Little John that production got to be out of this

Worf. My whole month of August is going to be listening to that. Make sure you got when you drop. A little coldest, August.

Make sure you got Woffers, man. Gotta have Woffers. I heard all that bass in that shit. You almost blew the fucking speakers off. Be careful what you wish from. That's just that boom. That's, hey, that's the history of a part of what I do, though. I'm literally in a studio going, I'm going to make these niggas blow.

They won't you speak. It's really what I be saying. Your Woffing song. That's extra tweaking when you mix and mastering. I had a song in a young day is Freaky Tales. Freaky Tales. of my old school classics. And I remember being in the studio

with the engineer. And I remember the bass. The 808 was on track one. And I keep hitting track one. And the engineer keep pulling down. He can't say nothing to me. I push it back up.

And he pulled it down. I'm like, bro, leave the bass alone. He said, if you push the base up this far, the needle is not going to stay in the groove of the record. I remember him saying that stupid as shit. I said, We can't sell in no records.

These cassettes. Turn the shit up. Fuck the record shit. And I pushed it up. That bass is legendary. Listen. To this day when you play. All promoters.

That's crazy. All promoters. All concerts. Mega hurts. Guys, if you got a wall with 72 speakers, don't put the shit on one or two and don't be scared to crank it up. I do concerts where the niggis got a wall a mile long of speakers. I'm like, turn the mic.

Turn the music up. Like, what the fuck are you trying to do? Preserve the speaker? Fuck is all these speakers doing here for? Like, they do this shit to us all the time. It's that new shit. Old hip-hop. They used to beat the sound man up.

Yeah, old hip-hop. Oh, yeah, yeah. You got out of the way. Put your nigga over there. You beat your DJ up on stage, all type of shit. And the nigga over there. The mustache. No, it was bad.

Big pun with engineers. The niggas was terrified. Big pun always had guns on them. So big pun to start the same thing. to pull out like a Mac 11 on the shit when he's starting to rhyme and the engineer probably some young white kid and he's a dead punch start like yo Papa

like yo B want to hear the paste a little bit more distant. It's just to be terrified of this nigga like he was I've seen some how are you with the engineers kiss? Are you a good guy with the engineers maybe nothing?

Do they make you mad? How is he with the engineer? Do they make you mad? Do you curse out the engineers? I got my own engineer. But I seen the shit I've seen puff tell engineers. It made me have a whole different heart for engineers. I seen all types. I see niggins tell engineers.

Not even just puff. More people. Ex. What kind of engineers are getting under your skin, though. Oh, they could. They got their own opinion. You just like, yo, do what I said. Like that time we talk about Tupac,

I heard Tupac was like, yo, just record what I do. Nigger, like, like, for anybody asked you, like, yeah. He's like, don't. Just recorded. Don't fucking give me your- None of your fucking business. Nigger just recorded. I watch Rapid Street engineers like when you go to Chinese restaurant.

I want more fucking hot sauce on my chicken wing. More ketchup, nigga, like... I remember a Tupac session, but I don't know what happened. I don't know. The engineer had a black eye. and he was very nervous and they was fucking like somebody sat a glass of Hennessy

on the fucking SSL the SSL, the SSL, million dollar board. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the engineer he wanted him to get the Hennessy off the thing. You already got a black eye, bro.

Like, just leave the Hennessy. This guy don't learn. Leave it alone, man. Some guys don't learn, man. Leave it alone. I don't know I got the black eye. I do know in Oakland. I don't know the whole story. I just know what happened

the night I was there. It was a session. And the engineer was making the artist and whoever was in the room upset. And the niggas just said, the thing in the back room said, I mean what happened to Trevor? That motherfucker started shaking.

I don't know what happened to Trevor. I think, I think, Trevor is. Damn, this sounds like one of them BET after dog movies. This shit sounds like one of these BET after dark movies. Hey, the session ended. The owner of the studio came and said,

I don't know, you guys did something about my engineer. We got to get closed and it's over. I don't have another engineer. Something happened to Trevor. We got to close. We got to close out, but let me tell you,

I got a funny one for you. Scott Storch is doing Hulk Hogan's daughter's whole album. Homie Scott. Brooke, how that? Scott Storch produced a whole album. And one day, this engineer is up.

in the hip factory. He's talking about wrestling is fake, this and that. He did you. Man, Hulk Hogan was in there. He took that nigga and body slam that nigga on the SS album. Thank God. The guy ain't sued him. We didn't see it on the
