Starting point is 00:05:10 That ain't waking up from yesterday. He had a nice, he had a nice, adventurous night. You know what I mean? I love New York, Doug. You know what I'm saying? I was outside. That's the best way. What's it like from New York?
Starting point is 00:05:22 Because, like, in L.A., everything, the hoods and all at us, like, spread out. Houses are short. And then you come in here, every building is, like, what, what's it like being in New York city with all these tall-ass fucking buildings, niggas honking the horn, this, like, what does that feel? Is it like a different feeling for you when you come out here? It's so different. I'm coming out here in like 2010, though.
Starting point is 00:05:49 So New York was like, New York and Atlanta was like the first two places I was like going to consistently. But you know what I'm saying? I've been coming out here for a minute. So like I'm used to it. You know what I'm saying? But it's different. It's different. But then it's also like similarities like it's busy.
Starting point is 00:06:10 You know what I'm saying? It's busy. at the crib is busy the shit to do, you know what I'm saying? You're like, it's a lot you can do, you know what I'm saying? In one day, New York is like the same vibe, you know what I'm saying? And every place ain't got that. Yeah, every place. You go to different places, even though they're good and all that,
Starting point is 00:06:29 it just ain't got that. Like me, that's what I need. You know, I bought a crib one time in Miami, and it was the most amazing crib you ever seen in your life. movie. And I sold that shit in like six months. You hear the fucking animals. You see the raccoons out the window? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I need the noise. I need to hear the fucking horns. I need to hear the police. I need to hear humans. I can't live in this shit. And so there's places like that. I see what you saying. I just got back from L.A. shout out the bone thugs in harmony. You know, I came up with them.
Starting point is 00:07:09 And we was on the same. record label and they call me Joey Bone and shit. Them dudes sold 30 million records. I was selling two records. Like, I mean, nobody. They was jumping on my records, coming in all my videos, showing massive love. So, you know me, I don't like to fly unless it's money involved.
Starting point is 00:07:33 It's just the way, that's why you don't see me on vacations and all that. But ain't no money attached. I hate flying so much. I just won't do it. So when he said, yo, bone thugs want you to speak, I turned around and said, nah, I ain't flying at no fucking LA. And when I said it, I said, man, I came in front of my bubbles, man. Those are the day.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I got to jump on this fucking plane. And everybody was looking at me like, yo, you talk all that bone thugs shit all the time, stories of you and up. And you acting like you ain't going over there to pin on a plane? Get on the plane. That shit we're doing all that shit. But we went out ice tea. They called him the king of L.A., big boy, called him the king of L.A.
Starting point is 00:08:17 You know, he started gangster rap. You said that here. I see. Started gangster rap. Right? That's what you said. Definitely one of the first people who, me as a kid seemed talking gang, talking that gans. You're younger than us, but you were saying like colors and all.
Starting point is 00:08:32 You knew all that. Yeah, like, like, Ice T definitely is the founder, the founder of gangster rap. Like, I said, I ain't, like, remember. Remember, like, seeing it, but as I got older, like, you know what I'm saying? Niggas was definitely like ice tea. They're telling you, yo, Ice-T is like, he set this bitch off. Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure. You know what's crazy is Ice-T back in the day was floating around the Bronx.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I used to see Ice-T with the Jerry Carls and all that in the Bronx with nothing but love and knew everybody who was somebody, I'm talking about the pre-historic, days. He knew all those, you know, the Zulu Nation of this. I used to see him with all these guys, Africa, Islam, and all of them. And I used to just be like, yo, what do you mean? Because we, we forget people have cousins, right? You could be from somewhere and you could have real cousins that live in Compton or something, and they're really your cousins. And they live in the bronze, and they're strong. They bring you over and you good. And I'm telling you, I've seen him when Larry Davis shot the cops,
Starting point is 00:09:44 I seen your man, iced tea, walking around the South Bronx. I gotta give the validity to where it's that. I gotta say the truth. Not when Larry Davis actually shot him.
Starting point is 00:09:57 When Larry Davis shot the fucking cops, right around there. A day or two later, he don't got nothing to do with Larry Davis. I'm just saying, I know, that the whole New York City, looking for Larry Davis and this nigga
Starting point is 00:10:13 Ice tea ditty bopping with Jerry curls in the South Bronx. I seen them. That's all. If y'all want, when we bring Ice T here, we'll let him confirm. I'm telling you what I've seen. You see how he does this? Nobody's disagreeing with you. You just made it
Starting point is 00:10:28 and you made it. You put it a wall up. Because it sounds, it sounds crazy. Yeah, because the way you made it is the actual time Larry Davis, Josh. I've seen ice tea walking by with Larry Davis guys shot a bunch of cops. They were corrupt.
Starting point is 00:10:46 And the whole New York City looking for him. Like fucking Billy the kid is some wild shit. I mean, they're looking for him. All I'm saying is at that time before he got caught, I don't know if it was three or four days. Ice team walking around the Bronx, nigga, I wasn't even rapping yet. I see them.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I'm in the shit. I'm like, yo, this fucking ice tea. They're born it. How he and Larry Davis. Anyway, let's... Now, publicly, you always... You talked about anxiety, PTSD, how I know you and mental health struggle.
Starting point is 00:11:25 And that's actually worked into your album and all that. You know what I mean? What's going on with the mental health? How serious is that a lot of people use it in... You know what I mean? But with this project, it seemed like that's the main focus that you... trying to get out there,
Starting point is 00:11:42 especially to our people and our areas and neighbor. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? It was a therapy session, like with myself, you know what I'm saying? Just owning up to the fact that a lot of shit that I ain't really fucking with in my life, you know what I'm saying? It's really with my fault, you know what I'm saying? It was being accountable, you know what I'm saying? A lot of people got a big problem with being accountable.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Like a lot of people from broke people to the richest people, they just don't want to accept accountability. You know what I mean? I got one for you. I one time accused somebody that's a very dear friend, very family, they're stealing something from him. But it felt like he was the only person that could steal it. Like one of my watches was missing,
Starting point is 00:12:34 and he was the only one. And I'm like, you want me to say his name? You're like to say it. My man Carlito. And so Carlito, well, you want me to say. So Carlito used to be with pun every day. Look, I'm missing this watch.
Starting point is 00:12:52 He's the only nigga there. So I'm like, yo, Carlito, man, you took my fucking watch. And I trust Carlito. You made me say his name and all that. Let me stop your story because I got an even iller one than that. My man Jay Bob, which is Mary's cousin who passed the demo to Mary that got us. All of that. My day one, he was my hype man for years.
Starting point is 00:13:14 He's still my brother. This is my hustling days. I come down the hill a fresh hundred sack of green bag 1212. Yo, Bob, walk me in the elevator. Put my pack in the thing. One second. Come back out. You know, kiss, let me get five for something.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Go back in. It's gone. Me, yo, boy, where's my pack? Him, kiss. I don't got a prompt. He's about to get it on. He asked you for $5. No, he just, I just came out the crib with a fresh shot ready to rock and roll.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I stash and I'm waiting for a sale. A sale go. 2.3 seconds. I go back, nothing. Me, your bop. Give my fucking pats. I don't got, I don't. You're like, we're only two here.
Starting point is 00:14:06 It was only one miller. We went like this. We turned this. round, it was gone. Me, your crack. Man, not playing with me, man. Him, I think your bro. I swear by, there's nobody else, only him or the Lord could have.
Starting point is 00:14:21 He was there, dog. No, that's what happened. I'll find out one of the sneaky-ass bass heads which, they saw the whole day. Soon as we left. Man. We're chilling out. They calmed us down.
Starting point is 00:14:37 We smoking, all that. Somebody came out the building. Whoever got them green bags, they and Debshouse having the party up there. This, we beat the brakes on. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to my man, Peanut. We almost, we obliterated them.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Nah, peanut disaster. That was great, but that's one of them kind of situations. What I'm talking about accountability is I was wrong. I was wrong, too. I had to apologize. Over, over like maybe like a year to, I realized there's no way on earth he would have stole that. and somebody else stole it and this, that.
Starting point is 00:15:11 So I hadn't seen them. My shit took only hours. No, my shit took like a year to. And I'm at Raoul's funeral, and I'm talking about Raul. And in the middle of it, I see him in there, and I say, yo, ma'am, I'm sorry. I fucked up.
Starting point is 00:15:27 I should have never ever accused you. I know it wasn't you. I know it wasn't you. And it's foul. I accuse you. Forgive me. But that was a big moment for me. of accountability in front of everybody,
Starting point is 00:15:43 because, you know, this Raul's, my brother's funeral, the whole T.S is in there deep. And I don't know. I was just going, and God told me to say sorry in front of everybody. And so a lot of people don't know how to do that,
Starting point is 00:15:57 man. They don't know how to say sorry when they wrong. And I'm not just talking about black people's fantasy. I'm talking about rich people. I don't care. People just don't admit when they wrong. And so you said you took a lot accountability and put it through your music.
Starting point is 00:16:12 You already know when it's a real moment, you need a real bottle. That's why we rock with 1800 tequila. You heard me? These people been making tequila for 11 generations. That's right, 11. That's a legacy. That's OG status. OG.
Starting point is 00:16:28 They were the first to introduce a Nejo set the standard before most of these brands even existed. And you could taste the difference for real. The 1800 Cristolino and Repa Sado 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.
Starting point is 00:16:54 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, 1850. every setting. It ain't trying too hard. It's just that.
Starting point is 00:17:11 1,800 tequila, real legacy, real smooth. That's the move. True, true, true. One. With this, going through these mental health issues, is it harder or more amplified
Starting point is 00:17:26 that you feel like that you're famous? And a lot is, a lot of people depend on you and all that. And when you go through mental health, It definitely, you ain't as sharp as, you know, you normally would be. So how do you navigate through going through these times and still showing up the work? We're still trying to smile. You know, us, like, we're niggas and shit.
Starting point is 00:17:54 We, like, we men, so, you know, this should be regular. Like, you know what I'm saying? We, like, like, we get talking to taking care of everybody and all that. Like, you know what I'm saying, that's, like, that's what we're here to do. Like, so that part, that part. be regular. You know what I'm saying? But being like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:18:11 When you do whatever you do, and you take care of your peoples and all that, and that's done. Like, you be having whatever going on in your life and you're still feeling how you're feeling how I deal with that shit. Like, I just sell with myself. Like, I just just yourself for like six, nine months. Like, I don't want to talk to nobody.
Starting point is 00:18:31 I don't want to, like, I had to sit with myself and just get right. You know what I'm saying? Like, nigga I ain't doing too. I ain't doing too much. hanging out with niggas, like, I'm watching while I get my energy, too, watching energy to come around me, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:18:44 And really just, like, thinking about the bounce back, like, how to get right, you know what I'm saying? I ain't one of them, like, a nigga ain't no, I got mental health problems and all that. It was just, you know what I'm saying? I hit this time, my life, and I ain't expect, you know what I'm saying, the shit that was happening.
Starting point is 00:19:08 It's a happy. And it didn't happen. The title was like, oh, what shit? And I'm like, damn, like, nigga fucked up right now. Like, it's like, I bet. Like, nigga I gotta figure it out. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:20 So this album, you know what I'm saying? The Gentleman's Club was like, it just represented. Why is the title of gentlemen's club?

Nobody in front of Spike. Let me tell you something that might go viral in the wrong way, but I'm going to be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Like maybe two years ago, I asked Spike one-on-one, I said, yo, Spike, you think we ever going to win the chip? Spike Lee, the number one Nick fan in the world, look at me in the eyes and said, we ain't never going to do it. I mean. I think that day I was so depressed. I went home. I was like, yo, Spike Lee's the fucking low.
Starting point is 00:38:17 He told me not in your lifetime. You ain't winning no chip. You're always sick, bro. And here we are. You right. Let me tell you some crazy shit, right? Is New York is the mecca money. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:34 So even if you got Hollywood and you got all that, they come over here for the bread. You got Wall Street. You got all the bread is here. Madison Ave. Well, Wall Street. Wall Street controls the world. in the stadium, the richest people get to buy them tickets.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Corporate America, Wall Street, whatever the case may be. And so our arena got maybe like 20-something thousand people. And I've been going so long that I pretty much know every fan to the upper deck or whatever the case may be. The crazy shit is when we did that parade, you ever seen that movie Gangs in New York? It was actually the first time. I've been in Puerto Rican.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I'm the first rapper in the Puerto Rican parade where they usually got two, three million people. When I tell you, Waji, it was 20 blocks of human beings. You can't see the floor. It was just human all over. I didn't even know they was that many Nick fans. I'm up on the float. I'm like, yo, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:39:42 And so finally, Everybody, Louis the mechanic, whoever was a fan, was in that fucking parade. And that shit was, you're talking about Italian. They found, I passed one block on that parade where the whole block was just Italian. Like, they must have went on Italian Twitter. You know how they got black Twitter. It said, we meet in the Sullivan Street. Them niggins was dead with the Italian flag.
Starting point is 00:40:09 It was like, yo, Rocco! Like, they were sitting there like thousands of them on one block. I was like, yo, this shit was, it was just the craziest shit to ever see so many. I didn't even know we had that many New York Nick fans. It was just, it was really, really out of control, man. I was your relationship with Nip. It seemed, I made some bangers together. But it seemed like I was really, really brothers, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:40:37 Real tight. Yeah, no, my, my relationship with Nip was, man. I'm special. Oh, I went to a show. You and it was Nip show when he bought you out. That shit was the craziest shit. I was coming through.
Starting point is 00:40:55 No, like, hell yeah. It's like I was in the middle of the terror. It was crazy. It was the million reds, the trillion blues. I mean, I was just like this. I'm next to Lauren London and the kids. Like, oh, I just want to enjoy the show. And I'm like, I just want to enjoy the show.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Oh, you got to make it out. You got to make it out. The shit was rocking, though. They ripped that shit. Well, I was in the, it was like a biscuit. So you being a, well, an allegedly a blood. No, no, not a legend. Oh, no, you're a blood.
Starting point is 00:41:31 I'm just here. They call you a rat. If I just straight say it, they say I'm a rat. You know, no, if I'm straight, you're a blood. Let me tell you something that's real. Beating. They from the West Coast. We'd all do respect.
Starting point is 00:41:46 They know, they respect. They turn their shit into a business. Like he, you see how he said? It's not a legend. I mean, he got deals in Neiman and dissing businesses, and it's a different kind of thing for some reason. They don't, is it a different kind of life? So the question I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:42:03 because I've been going to L.A. for a long, long time. You being the blood, him being the crib. How did the homies feel about your relationship? How did, you know, because I'm out there with Mack 10, Inglewood and... Ingalls. And my homie. You know, you're getting the wrong neighborhood. You're getting the wrong color around.
Starting point is 00:42:25 You're getting into that. I went through all that shit, right? So it's like, how was it for you with your friends and his friends? How did everybody feel about your relationship? That's the show I was at. I was in the middle of a festival. All right. It was love.
Starting point is 00:42:44 It was love. Hey, man, man. Hey, listen, bro. Me and Nip went through so much shit. Just to be cool. Yeah, over us, you know what I'm saying, having a relationship. Niggas went through so much shit. Nip, I'm going to keep it all the way against it.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Nip, Nip went through molding me. You know what I'm saying? Like, Nip went through molding me as far as with his homies and shit about us having. a relationship. This is how me and Nip even was able to have a relationship. Two-time fella hit me and get halfway.

Starting point is 01:02:29 It's all timing. This game timing is very important. You got to know who you are. And. We didn't win the finals. We ain't on the float. We don't got all this fluidity. We don't got the platform that's breaking niggins number one records.
Starting point is 01:02:47 It ain't the same. If we just chilling on Trinity, you have a war burden and we played it and not going to get the same. We got something special. No, no, no, no. Timing is everything. But what I'm saying is,

Starting point is 01:06:45 How many people on the bus? Maddening. But it can't. Why he always cuffed the rapper? Because he showed him the paper of owner who rented this bus. My name. So I can't even let nobody take it. Your name?

Starting point is 01:07:45 What I was alluding to is like, with me, I never sleep on nobody. When I see a woman crossing the street with a kid and they look like they ain't got no money and I like that, I remember me. I know that that could be the next Barack Obama. I know that could be the next YG, the next JZ. the next whatever. And so I never sleep on nobody. But, you know, you got to really be special. God got to really choose you.

You'd be like, oh, no, that's not going to happen. But it happened. You understand what I'm saying? So I just feel like all of us to even get in the position
Starting point is 01:08:32 to be where we at, we be on blessed and we picked by God. Now what happened to you? Happened to all of us. So there's a system of major record labels. They historically to rob the niggas like Sam Cooke. They've been robbing Sam Cooke, James Brown.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Feterman, Franklin's Black Cousin, they robbed that. First person on death. They robbed everybody. So they take young, talented kids from all over, suck up the juice. Once the kids realize
Starting point is 01:09:07 three albums in, like, yo, I made these niggas 100, 200 million. I got to figure this out. That's when the new young guy comes and takes the YG slot. Kay Jang, he's the new one. They've running this shit
