So I'm putting my name in the hat. I'm putting my name in the hat early. So if you could...

Everybody, I got a long line, man. Come on, just jump in the line, man. Bring it on. Well, listen, if you have any type of auditions, regardless of how long the line is, I'm better than the whole line. I'm not worried about that. I just need the opportunity. You can do your thing, baby. All right. I got something I can work with.

I definitely had you come in and get me straight. Oh yeah, let me know. I got my sad card too. So, you know, I'm experienced. I know about, I know. Listen, I'm experienced. I'm and get me a crack. Oh yeah, let me know. I got my sad card too. So, you know, I'm experienced.

I know, I know, listen, hurry up and wait. I know about that all too well. So just let me know when. Got you. Cube, you going on the headline tour, your Truth to Power, Four Decades of Attitude. This tour celebrates your 40 year legacy as a rapper, producer, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and a cultural icon.

It kicks off September the 4th. What made you decide to say, you know what, it's time for Ocubi to hit the road again and tour? No, I've always been touring, you know, I've always, you know, done dates. Um, but you know, to do a fully production, a full production, so to speak, is something I haven't done. And after being in the game for four decades, it's time to really just focus on the career, not only celebrate the music, but also show the influences, what made me write this kind of music, you know, growing up, coming up, the events, you know, we're gonna cover the 80s, the 90s, 2000s, and, you know, up until the 2020s. So it's, you know, it's just for Ice Cube fan, this is a way to get closer to me as an artist,

to understand me as an artist, understand some of the songs that I've done throughout my career and then jam out. I got a lot of hits over these 40 years and all that. And do some of the songs that sometimes I don't get to on some of these other shows, but now we're gonna have to do some of the songs that sometimes I don't get to on some of these other shows, but now we're gonna have to do some of the songs that sometimes I don't get to I'm going to be in the the in the production. It's

going to be cool. I don't know where uh uh I don't hold me to this but I don't know which is worse. The Raiders or that Wi-Fi but they're both pretty awful. Man, I'll be saying this is my your career 40 years. You probably are part of the one of the most influential if not the most influential groups because you ushered in something the gangster rap era. You NWA, you D.R.A.E.E.D.E.D.E.D.O.C.Y.E.L.L.A.

At the time when y'all put this together, did y'all realize that damn near 40 years from now that people was gonna pay, give you your due and pay you homage to what you guys had done? Did you think about that when you guys were putting this group together? Not at all. You know, we didn't even think about, you know,

so-called ushering in the gangster rap era. Because at the time when we did our music, all rappers had their own styles. It wasn't a follow the leader type of deal. It was either you create your own style or you're not going to rise to the top. So, you know, we created our own style out here on the West Coast and we had no idea that the whole rap game would start to do the kind of music we were doing, you

know. Because there was, you know, all kinds of groups out when we first started in 1985, 86, 87, 88, 89. It was so many different styles of rap, you know, from the Dayz A's to, you know, you had, you know, the Jungle Brothers, you know, you had Fat Boys. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Melly Mel, you had Big Daddy Kane, you had Cool Mo D, you had LL, you had KRF1. You had so many different flavors. Nowhere in the world did we think once we do this, all the flavors would turn into this

flavor, you know, because that was actually considered a no-no. You couldn't bite nobody's style and make it. And so, you know, it was kind of a domino effect after the music came out. But it was no way for us to say, hey, it's time for this now. Because we were fans of all that other music too. We was fans of Big Daddy Kane and EPMD and, you know what I'm saying? Very good, I was making dollars. Yeah, you know, so we was fans of all that music.

Run DMC was king. Yep. You know, so. Houdini. Yeah, You know, so. Houdini? Yeah, you know, it was like, it was a great time for hip hop for sure. Hey Q, man, you are a legend, man. You're a legend, you're an icon.

And when I think about it and I sit back and I think about everything you've done, we talk about 40 years, you know, between Hollywood Walk of Fame star, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Basketball Hall of Fame recognition. Do any of these accolades hold a particular special place for you and which one would mean the most to you?

Or collectively, do all of them kind of equal the same? Are they all equally yoked? You know, we started off in music, so Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is big because- Yeah. It don't get no bigger. But it all started. That's a crescendo. That's what all started.

Yes, sir. The Walk of Fame is cool if they keep it clean. You got to go up there, if they keep it clean, you know, you got to go up there. Coming down a little bit here and there. Yeah. And look, you know, having an award in the basketball hall of fame is something that, you know, you cannot even... That couldn't even be in my dreams because I had no way.

Yeah, because you can't hoop. Yeah, how you get in the hall of fame when you can't hoop? You know, I could fuck around and get a triple-double on you can't hoop. Yeah, how you get in the Hall of Fame, but you can't hoop. You know, I can fuck around and get a triple double on you. Any day. What up? Any day. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, being in that, you know,

it's kind of like a pleasant surprise. But the Hall of Fame, you know, something every artist, you know, looks to achieve as far as recognition from the industry. And the music industry, a lot of mavericks, you know, a lot of people on their own page. So you know, when they all come together and say, you know, you wanted those top artists in history, you know, that means a lot. Hugh, every year we have this. There is this the top 30 greatest dis songs.

And normally within the top five, top 10, no Vaseline. We just had a guy had, I don't know, people saying Drake might have, excuse me, Kade Dot might have had the greatest diss song considering who it went up against. When you look at what you, you know Vaseline, you look at Hit Em Up, you look at Ether, you look at Not Like Us, Sheetha, Remy Ma, Nicky, going at it. would you rank Novas Aline as far as diss tracks? And did you know it was gonna land like it, I mean, it was a bulls eye, it didn't just land, it was a bulls eye.

Perfect. Hey, you know, you can't take nothing from, not like us, you know, won a Grammy, it's that Super Bowl, it's huge. When it comes to a feud, what's the most vicious feud you can get into? The most vicious feud you can

get into is a family feud. Yeah. So when it's a family feud, don't get more vicious than that. So yeah, just because the fact that it was a family feud and we were in close proximity and we ran in the same circles and knew the same people. No Vaseline is hard to beat because, you know. You did your thing on the net.

Yeah, you know, this is somebody that's far away from you is one thing, but, you know, because you know, you did your thing on it now. Yeah, you know, this is somebody that's far away from you is one thing but you know, this is somebody you can run into the next day or any day is another thing. So, I just, I gotta, I gotta, you

know what I'm gonna say, man. Come on now. Chad, you know how it's a, you know how it goes. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. 40s a lot coming up, please go get it. OG, I got a music question for you. So after last summer with the Kendrick and Drake beef, I know it got a lot of attention, got the West Coast with more eyes and more attention that it's had in a really long time, if we be honest. What advice would you give to young West Coast artists

about longevity in the industry? And what's your takes on that beef? As far as the Kendrick and Drake beef, I just looked at it just like how it was with NWA and EZ, you know, or any other like Nas and Jay Z, just like a battle. I looked at it like that. But you know, the court stuff and all that, that ain't how we used to get down.

We used to just go at it and tell somebody just declared the winner. But I mean, they both doing their thing right now. They both successful. Drake has actually got some really good record out that's tearing up the charts Drake has actually got some a really good record out that's that's tearing up the charts. Kendrick

still tearing up the charts. Yeah. So, I mean, it's it's it's it's it's cool. You know that that that they it kind of died out and they back to doing what they're doing and selling records and and and being who they are and as far as like the

young generation, I just I just try to tell them, you know, just just don't don't ruin your relationships with with the industry or people in the in the industry. Just always be solid and carry yourself in a cool way. Don't be one of those dudes that's all over the place getting in trouble and shit all the time and doing crazy stuff. Just be just be cool and be yourself. You don't need to do all of the you know, the gun toting and all that extra shit. Because it make make us look like animals. You just keep good relationships, have a great manager, keep some great lawyers and a great team around you that can that can tell you when you know when okay you know tell you know you got you got to have somebody to tell you like man that ain't that ain't working

you know and you you got to be able to accept the criticism from your team and not down them because they looking out for your best interest and if you got two or three different people saying the same thing then you got two or three different people saying the same thing, then you gotta take a couple steps back and look, say, maybe they are right. Uh let me change this up. So, you gotta have a good

support system as well and just, you know, like I said, from hip hop to the NFL to basketball to baseball to soccer, whatever it is, all the young guys invest. Yeah. That's you can get it to football, to be able to put all your family on and put everybody on and be able to provide them with jobs and just a lot of good things. I heard you keep saying this word

and you emphasize it when you said it, team, team. You said it probably three or four times. Power. At what point or what age or what time of your career did you realize or you have a team that really excelled you? How soon did you know that it had to take a team and was it just Warren G putting it together and going?

I had a team from the start, from doing my first album to getting put on by Def Jam. Just the support the the support system I have with Leo and Russell and Kevin Liles, Mike Kaiser, Julie Greenwald, Chris Lighty, Wes Johnson. Yeah, yeah. I know the people that I know

the people that they're going to be like damn, it's negative but uh I had a support team. I had a support team that really that helped me, you know, get that get that get get to that extra steps and uh and get the music out there and at the

same time, what it did was was uh help a company that was going on in bankruptcy that I didn't even know about. It pulled them out of bankruptcy and saved that company. Then it opened the doors for Jay-Z, DMX, Method Man, Red Man, and everybody else. So that was like what I did for them. You know, in return for them. Oh, Dev Jam was going under, going in bankruptcy?

They was going under. They was going to bankruptcy. Ah, man. Yeah. Right around that time. Yes indeed and I saved the company. And they're a huge company now because of that. And they cool, you know, everybody that was there.

I had a really good team and you know, I had a support system that believed in me. They didn't have to say, well, Warren, we need you to do this. They said, do what you do and we're gonna back you. We're gonna be behind you 110%. And I was like, okay. Because some artists, they, you know, some artists, the company will make them do what they want. You gotta do what we want you to do. You know, and that's why a lot of artists go in and out.

You know, what you got. So when you first heard that, when you first heard that Regulate beat, how quickly did them bars write themselves or was you able to just jump right in, get straight to it? How was that process? Yeah, well, that day that I had found the sample, I was out record shopping because that's what I do.

I produce just as much as I'm an artist. I'm more, I'm a producer just as much. So I was out record digging and just digging for records. At the end of the day, I went to go for the whole crate? So he was like, you know, just give me what you want me to give him. So I gave him like, I think it was 500 bucks and took the whole crate. It was about at least like 60, 70 records. And once I got home, got in the pad, started to work on the record, I was like, man, I'm going to go get some records.

I'm going to go get some records. I'm going to go get some records. I'm going to go get some records. I'm going to go get some records. I'm going to go get some records. I'm going to go get some records. I'm going to go get. It was about at least like 60, 70 records. And once I got home, got in the pad, started relaxing and started listening to records to see if I could find samples or ideas that I could do for the album. So ran across Michael McDonald and the Doobie Brothers. I keep forgetting that that soon as I played it, it it brought me back

to my parents because that's that's who who raised me on it. So, when I heard it, I was like, damn, this will be dope if I sampled this and redid it. So, I sampled it, chopped it up. I still got the discs and everything that I use to in the

drum machine, everything that I use to do that. That's fire. So I did it, chopped it up, sampled it and had the beat going boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and then I put the drums behind it, added some keys and it was like, oh my god. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I said, Nate, I got one for me and you right now, man. Let's do like how Snoop and Dre did when they went back and forth. Let's do it like this.

And so I freaked out that whole first verse that it was a black night, a clear white moon warmer. G was on the streets trying to consume some skirts for the evening so I could get some fun. What else? My ride chilling all alone. I freaked out that whole shit. That's crazy.

And then Nate came in, and Nate came in, he wrote his part, and then from there. Don't miss the You Versus You podcast.

That was a... That was too crazy, bro. I was crazy. I freestyled that. Yeah, I freestyled that right in the part. I wrote a lot of after the first verse, I freestyled, I wrote the rest of that. And then I wrote the, well, I freestyled the ending part

where I said, I'm tweaking. And so we did that. We did it. And we at that time, we had a saying, we'd be like, man, we got to regulate that. Let's regulate this. Let's regulate that. That was our word around that time. So some I don't know.

I don't know how it happened, but I was watching. I put on young guns but I was watching, I put on young guns, I'm watching young guns and the dude on there, the one of the cats, he said, we work for Mr. Tinsdale as regulators.

you going about, you trying to find a title and then that time it happened. Yeah, that was crazy. That's God. Definitely. Definitely. And when he said regulators, we work for Mr. Tindale's regulators and then he said something and he said,

we regulate any stealing this property and we're damn good too. I took, I cut different pieces out of that whole scene. If you hear the scene, you'll be like damn Where did that this is way different? But I took different pieces out of what he was saying and then I pieced it at the beginning of regulate And that's where I came in where said regulators we regulate any stillness property We're damn good, too But you can't be any geek off the street got to to be handy with the steel, you know what I mean?

All right, bro, I'm gonna call you when I get off here. Alright. Oh, you lost, give it up. So you already lost the three of my comrades. That's crazy. What's up, uncle? Let me ask you this. You got your kind of got your start on Wilding Out with Nick Cannon.

Did you expect to receive the love and the respect that you received when you went on that show? So what were your expectations when you went on Wilding Out? You know, when I went and auditioned for Wilding Out, that was not my plan or trajectory at all. At the time, you know, I was just out here in these streets like Chad, I was rapping, you know what I mean?

I was actually taking people's money, just like, you know what I mean? Just like, you know, Chad over here. And I just people's money, just like, you know what I mean? Just like, you know, chat over here. And I just really wanted to be an artist, you know, singer, songwriter. And yeah, TV, I was not looking to be on TV. But a good friend of mine, Tonio Skits, he came to one of my music videos and he's really nice with the beatbox. So he started beatboxing, I started freestyling.

Snapchat was lit at the time. And so he's posted on a Snapchat and he's like, yo, sis, you got to audition for this show. I'm about to audition for Wild N Out. I was like, oh, that's the one where they come up with the songs on spot. I'm like, I'll kill that. So he's the one who connected me with the producers.

And that's my brother always. Cause you know, most people won't really look out like that especially when he wasn't even on the show yet but he connected me with the executive producers and um I sent in a bunch of videos of me freestyling outside in New York at sob's on um be reals radio show just a bunch of different freestyles they invited me to come audition and I bodied it you know I knew I bodied it. I knew I killed the audition. So they brought me back and then they brought me back again. And then I met Nick. And I remember at that audition, it was all the people from the tri-state New York, New Jersey, maybe even, you know, Connecticut, Boston, whatever

else was close. It was all of us. And, you know, we did the audition and they had us do a bunch of different games. And when it got to wild Style, I just sat back a little bit. It was like 15 on one side of the room, 15 on the other side of the room. Rob Markman Okay. Yeah. You're like, okay, I'm vibing. It's okay. Nicki Minaj Yeah, I'm vibing.

And then as soon as someone hit me, I just like a machine gun. I went down the whole other side. And then when everyone was leaving, shaking the producer's hand, shaking Nick's hand, I remember I was the only one Nick said something to. He was like, where you from? And I was like Jersey. And he was like, all right. And I just left audition knowing that,

you know, if you stay regular, I'm not that ready. You know you had it. You knew you had bodied it. So you knew you was gonna get the call back that you were gonna be a regular. Yeah, yeah. So I got the call back and then the rest was history. I shot my first season, that was season eight. And I've been on for 14 seasons now. I'm the call back and then the rest was history. I shot my first season, that was season eight,

and I've been on for 14 seasons now. I'm the longest running female. So I guess, you know, when you said, how did I think I was gonna be received? I really didn't know. I just knew being a female, being quiet, I just knew I always had to really be that nice. You had to be like that. Yeah, I had to really be that nice. You had to be like that.

Yeah, I had to really be like that because nobody, people didn't wanna give it up for me. In general, that was just always my experience. I ran around to all these open mics throughout New York and I always had to be like the nicest in the room to, so I was just ready. I was ready, I was hungry. And once I got the opportunity, so I was just ready. I was ready, I was hungry. And, you know, once I got the opportunity,

I just went for it. And, you know, the fan base loved me, shout to them because they really make us who we are. And then everything took off from there. Were you always good on the mic? Were you always quick-witted? Were you always, did you always, is that what you always wanted to do?

Were you that young lady that like, people looking at you like, why are you trying to be black? You white, why you can't do, I'm sure you probably got a little bit of that, but like you said, you are a young lady, a woman now, and you were doing some things that, there were not a whole lot of white rappers,

female rappers when you were coming up. Well, you know what's funny? It a whole lot of white rappers, female rappers when you were coming up. Well, you know what's funny? It's a lot of white rappers, men, cause the industry loves them some white men. I could name you like probably 50 white rappers right now. Got a lot. It is a lot. It's a lot of white rappers.

But yeah, not female. So yeah, I definitely got a lot of white rappers, but yeah, not female. So yeah, I definitely got a lot of everything. I got a lot of friction. I really had to grind to get where I got and I really had to cut my teeth and nothing was easy for me. Nobody wanted to let me in. I had no connection to know anybody

who knew anybody who knew anybody. I'm looking at my mom, I'm like, you don't know nobody. Nobody know nobody. You know, so You got no connect. Yeah, no connects. You know, it's hard in Jersey. We don't have a radio station. We don't have a sports team.

We don't have shit. We had Nets brief for a fleeting moment. They took that, right? Joe, you was with the Nets first. Yeah. We had, we, you know, so, yeah, I really, really had to work hard and yeah, I was with the Nets for a second. We had, you know, so, yeah, I really, really had to work hard. And yeah, I was always nice with the words.

I always had, you know, the gift of gab was always really good to put my words together. And I think when you just have a natural gift for something and then you use that gift a lot, you just get a lot better. So once people be like, yo, yeah, like this white girl, like she freestyles, she's crazy with it.

Everyone wanted to see me do it. So I was running around everywhere, just, you know, freestyling, open mics. And I used to go to the real ones in the city, EO Dub, where, you know, they would beat juggle. They would slow down the beat, speed up the beat. Like crazy shit that people just don't even do anymore, which is why when I went to

Sway shout the sway. I love him one of my favorite people in the industry And I did the five fingers of death. I'm the first and only female to spit a real freestyle completely off the top. Um DJ wonder was speeding up the beat and slowing it down. And they hadn't done that in years. Years. So I asked and I went on Sway, bodied it. Wonder gave me the most trash beats, speeding up the beat, bodied it. But I said the Wonder after, I said, damn, Wonder. I said, no, I actually said this way.

I said, I'm surprised you guys were changing the, you know, the BPM of the beat. He said, yeah, we haven't done that in years because no one could do it. And this is people who come with written. So I said to wonder, so why'd you do it to me? Cause I knew he was trying to fuck me up. He said, because you were talking so much shit

that he really wanted to test me, but it just like made me shine more. So I've always had to do that. Like that's always been kind of, you know, the city. You had to be that much better in order to get just as far as someone that was average that was doing it. You had to be a step above, a foot above the rest. Correct. But I really think, you know,

God put me on TV for a reason because, you know, TV, I got on TV and TV embraced me so much. I got on Wild N Out and because of Wild N Out, I had great success. I grew this platform. And then from Wild N Out, they, you know, made me a host on TRL. They made me the host of How Far Is Tattoo Far, Revenge Prank, The Challenge, the Justina Valentine Show, Basic to Bougie.

I'm the host now of Jersey Shore. Like, it opened up so many doors for me that music just wasn't ready to. So like TV and film. And then from there I started doing film. Like that was really the biggest blessing. And I think God just knew like, nah, you know, go this way. It's a lot more money this way, go this way.

That's what happened. Matter of fact, matter of fact, your work ethic, obviously what you have going on. I mean, listen, the proof is in the pudding. You got it out the mud, you've done it the hard way, and you put the work in. So you've been blessed with many opportunities. You've worn many hats, though, rapper, actress, writer, producer, and host, obviously. How do you decide which hat to wear on any given project? Is it the money issue or are the projects that are given to you, do you always take things that fit you and which way you wanna go and envision?

Yeah, I think it's always about what's the most important thing at the moment. Like, for example, in 2022, we shot like three seasons of Wild'n Out, we did two tours, and I shot a movie that like I wrote, I directed, I starred in, I got my Eddie Murphy on, I played six characters, I financed, I did everything from A to Z for this movie. So it really monopolized my year. So that year, I really didn't do, I didn't drop any

music except for I did the soundtrack for my movie. That year, music took a little backseat and all my efforts and energy went into the movie, which was the most ambitious thing I've ever done, but also made me that one thing was my biggest payday, that one project. That year was all about TV, film, tour, and so music took a back seat. For me, I'm very fortunate to be able to do the projects and the things that I want to do. Of course, Wild'n Out, I'm always going to do.

Nick could call me. I'm always pulling up for Nick. We'll be doing Wild'n Out until the people don't want to wild out anymore. They want to keep Wild'n Out until the people don't want to wild out anymore. They want to keep Wild'n Out, you know? So I love that. And it's like, we used to say, every time Nick made a new pregnancy announcement, we would announce a new season.

So that was always, that was always like a beautiful thing. But look, he hasn't announced a pregnancy in a while and we're still shooting. So I love to see it. So I'll always pull up for Nick. I'll always pull up for Wild'n Out., and Wild N Out is what gave me my platform. So I'm always beyond grateful to Nick, beyond grateful to Wild N Out. So I'm always making time and space for Wild N Out, no matter what's going on, you know? I have one more question. When it comes to all the projects that you're

doing, how important for you, based on your vision and what you want to do that fit you in the lane that you're in, how important is creative control on the projects that you're doing? It's very important to me, especially because, like, you know, like, with the movie I mentioned, and then myself and my cast member can see this, Shout Out to COA, another battle rap legend,

we just produced a TV show that we sold to Kevin Hart, shout out to Kev and the LOL Network. It came out on Peacock and 2B and all these projects, like I'm producing and I'm literally on the cutting room floor with the editor. Like I really, once I have the vision, I really have the vision. Sometimes I'm two hands on, they're like,

all right, just like chill, like give us the- Not done yet. Like it's not even color corrected. So I am very hands on sometimes two hands on. So my answer is I'm very involved in the creative from A to Z. So I think especially, and I know you guys can all relate cause you have your own, all your own stuff going on,

your own brands, your own shows going on, your own brands, your own shows, et cetera. So it's like, you have a vision for it and you really want to see it through. So yeah, I'm very involved. But the thing is, Justina, like, yeah, you're great at freestyling, but you can roast.

And normally, you know, that's an art in and of itself. People don't understand that we call it joning. I went to an HBCU understand that we call it joning. I went to an HBCU, so we call it joning or ragging or bagging on somebody, whatever y'all, we call it roasting, whatever the case may be. But for you to rap and you can roast also,

because to be great at roasting, you've gotta be off the cuff. Because it ain't no, I'm gonna come back tomorrow and get you, I gotta get you as soon as you done with yours, I gotta be fire right back at da da da, fire right back at you. How are you able to do that? So are you listening? Like, okay, so this what we doing?

This what we, okay, go ahead, go ahead. You first. So how does it just, because it seems like it just comes so natural to you. Yeah, no, it really does. And I think I just go into demon mode. Like when we're in the box, someone's rapping at me, I'm just, I'm listening. I think one part of my brain is listening

to what they're saying to me. And then another part of my brain is just like really sizing them up. And it's so funny to me when people are like, oh, you know, do you guys have writers on Wild N Out? I crack up because I look at them and I'm like, if you think I could buy a rat from someone, like a writer, come on.

They would, first of all, they would never give someone like me anything because they know I'm already... It's people on the stage that are already lethal. Do you think we could get help even if we wanted to? We shoot 30 episodes in 10 days. That means three episodes a day. Every day.

Do you... Everyone on the stage has something for me. They have something for me. They have something for DC. It's just certain people that everybody has something for. From the guest to the other castmates, it's like, you know... There have been battles that I've done on the show when guests have came, celebrity guests, and haven't been aired, because those people, teams have requested

for it not to be aired. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I like that. Wait, hold on, hold on, listen. Can you do me a favor? See on here, everything is a green light, right? Everything is a green light on here. And I do not worry about being roasted because my grandma used to call me ugly.

But can you give us an example of how good you are off the top of the head and roasting a little quick? All right, go ahead, hit me first with something. Yeah. You want me to hit you first? Get it, Justina! Come on, Chad, let's go!

Yeah, come on. I'm with Justina, team Justina. They should have got me a t-shirt. What side you on, uncle? Uncle, what side you on? I'm on Justina. What do you mean, who's side? We got to do the swings.

OK, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me think of something good. OK, OK, OK. OK, uncle, you ready? I'm ready. Uncle, you got a pair of t-shirts, man. I need you focusing on me. I'll get ready to fall up my chair

when she tear your ass up, but go ahead. Whose side you on? Whose side you on? Uncle, whose side you on? I'm on Justina, I just told you. Damn, that's- Dad, you've been saying a long time. I'm telling you.

Oh no, because I'm trying to make sure he on my side. But here we go, okay, here we go. Okay, if I holla at Justina, she better holla back. Before she got that BBL, that ass used to be solid flat. Body looked like she smoked a lot of crack. Now she got that red hair like Jessica Rabbit. So I said, why you that? I'm about to do a body mat.

Hold on, okay. All right, you're taking too long. All right, yo. Go, go, go get him. Get him. Get him, Justin. Joe, Unc and Chad, all athletes. I will run with them.

I will get with Uncle Che Che, but after 22, he's done with them. And Chad, watch how I'ma leave you. I know you like it in the ass, that's why you was a wide receiver. You good or you wanna keep going? Whoa, whoa, whoa, just did it, just did it. How did I get it? You were supposed to give all that, oh, Joe. I get it. You just caught it straight, you standing up.

I did, I know that. You right under him. Hold on, hold on. He finished, all right. I ain't finished. I ain't finished. I ain't finished. I ain't finished.

I ain't finished. I ain't finished. I ain't finished. I ain't finished. I ain't finished. I ain't finished. I ain't finished I did, I know. You right under him. Hold on, hold on. He finished, all right. I ain't finished. I'm coming back.

This ain't really what you wanna do. Nah, you got it. I'm gonna let you head out. Nah, nah, get out. I'm not gonna lie, Chad. I'm glad you stopped there, cause the thing is about me, this second round is about to go crazy on you.

Cause you don't know, you don't know where to stop. Chad look, Chad look. I will three, I will three over you on here. I'm a real battle rapper. I didn't move that head, what you got next? Listen, listen, I done beat everybody. Ask Hitman about me. Well you and Hitman, I'ma definitely ask Hitman about you cause y'all got the same head.

Y'all both look like a milk dozen. I'ma definitely ask his ass about you for sure. And I'm not gonna lie, you and Hitman have the same head. Y'all both look like a milk dozen. I'ma definitely answer that about you, but y'all. And I'm not gonna lie, you and Hitman have the same teeth. Y'all went to the same, y'all didn't say medium. She mean, y'all said just extra large, dog. Do what you feel like a bunch of fucking Apple iPhone chargers in your mouth. A bunch of iPhone ones in your mouth.

Me and that girl, little boy. Get him, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That's what we'll be waiting for. Hey, I appreciate it. Hey, no, Chad, honestly, I definitely, I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That's what we've been waiting for. Hey, I appreciate it. Hey, no, Chad, honestly, I definitely, I mess with you. I love people that go off the top of their heads. So if you and me one day in the same place at some time,

somebody wanna double team us, no ditty shit, just like, you know, rap and stuff, I'm with it. I appreciate it. Listen, honestly, I didn't have an opportunity to tell you cause obviously we're doing a show but I'm a fan of yours, always have been. I watch Wild N Out religiously, some of the other projects and stuff you have going on

away from Wild N Out, I've also watched as well. I just want to say, I salute you and I wish you much success in all that you do, sis. I'm trying to butter you up, Justina. Nah, no, but thank you so much trying to butter you up, Justina. Nah, no, but thank you so much, and I really appreciate y'all, and of course I'm a fan of y'all as well.

And, you know, I definitely got to, one day I want to sit on Shea Shea's couch as well. You know what I mean? Oh, you want to be on club, Shea Shea? Yeah, we'll definitely, we'll get the freestyle going in person. We'll set up the beat, we'll do all that good stuff, you know?

Have Shea Shea put some pop in. Are you gonna have a drink with me? At least I'll go in person. We'll set up the beat. We'll do all that good stuff, you know? Have Che Che put on top of it. Are you gonna have a drink with me? I have a drink with you. If I start drinking, you're gonna have to bring a few people in there to battle me. You know what I'm saying? Mm. No, I definitely have a drink with you.

I can't come on Club Che Che and not have a drink. Okay, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. Go ahead, Ocho. That. Okay, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. Go ahead, Ocho. That's it, that's it. No, no, let me ask you this, Justina. Like when you go at the guys, do you ever feel bad going at the guys,

or do they ever take it personal? No, I would say as far as, okay, so the inner circle of Wild N Out, which is, you know, those of us that go on tour. Yeah, you, DC, Chico. Yeah, like those are all my brothers, you know, and it's like, those are all my brothers and my sisters, like that inner circle that goes on tour. And we all know what it is.

We have said everything to each other, you know what I mean? So that's all of now Now there have definitely been guests that have came on the show and I'm just looking like, had they not watched the show before, they've definitely probably been offended. They came on Wild N Out, they got offended? Yeah, and it's just like, wow. Like I said, it's been some battles that I've done

that have never seen the light of TV. And one in particular one, the producer called me, she's like, yo, yo, Tina, she would call me Tina. She's like, yo, I'm watching the battle with so-and-so and yo, you are that bitch. And I was like, yo, I can't wait to see it. You know, what like episode is that gonna be the season? She's like, oh no, you're not gonna see it.

I was like, she was like, no. She was like, you destroyed that girl. Soon as that we were done filming, her team came up to us and said, you cannot air that. And I was like, damn. So yeah, that never aired. There's been a bunch of battles I've did that. You don't have never aired, but to be honest with you,

I usually, I never hit a girl first. I hit her back, I'll knock her out, but I don't hit her first. I beat up on the guys. I always hit the guys first, but with the girls, I don't hit them first. But if a girl hits me first, now it's, you know, it's- It's on.

Yeah, it's on. Yeah. I'm thinking, you've been at this for a while. So what's the next step? What's the evolution of Justina? So the evolution for me is definitely, you know, concentrating on this TV and film stuff. We just wrapped up season two

of What's Cooking Good Looking. That's the TV show that me and Kassida do. Second season, super funny. We have Michael Blackson, Jess Hilarious. We had Lola Brooke, Casco Bane, Mayno. So we just wrapped that up. I just finished writing another script for a movie that I want to go into production with this summer.

Super funny, really looking forward to shooting this. Touring, we're wilding out. We back on tour this year, so I'm definitely gonna be on the road with everybody. And, you know, dropping music in between doing everything. I just dropped a record called Drip Drop. Super upbeat, fly, just feel good music. And just keep working.

That's the thing about me. I stay with attitude of gratitude and I never feel like, oh, I'm happy to be here. Like, oh, I got a lot of bread now. I could chill. No, I just feel like I worked really, really hard to do. I worked really, really hard to be able to do what I love and to be here.

So with everything I do, if I'm walking on the set for my 14th season of Wild'N Out, I'm never here like, oh yeah, they know I'm that bitch. I could chill. No, I'm working hard like it's my first day. I'm hungry like it's my first day. So that's just the attitude I keep with everything I do. So I'm working on a lot of projects between TV, film and dropping music in between.

And just waiting really to get to Shay Shay's couch. I'm one white bitch that don't talk, Shay Shay. I'm Italian, baby. So- Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Shay Shay's like, have a good night, y'all. No, I'm just saying like that don't talk, Shay-Shay. I'm Italian, baby. So. Okay. Yeah. Shay-Shay, they're like, have a good night, y'all.

No, I'm just saying like, you know, yeah, I'm different type of, don't worry about that. All right, we gonna get y'all, let me ask you this. Because I don't want you to divulge too much because I want you to divulge it on the couch. Tell us something, because we see you on Wild N Out, we've seen you in some of your other projects. What do you like off camera?

What do you like away from the set. What do you like off camera? What do you like away from the set? What do you like to do? Oh, what do I like to do away from the set? I'm very much into dogs. I work with a lot of rescues, rescue organizations. You know, I feel like, of course, I never want to see anyone or anything abused, but I feel like when it comes to animals,

we're really their voice. So I work with a lot of dog organizations. Of course, I never want to see anyone or anything abused, but I feel like when it comes to animals, we're really their voice. So I work with a lot of dog organizations. Just in general, I like to help people. I do a lot of stuff behind the scenes. I'm one of those people, I don't post about like my good deeds and stuff. Yeah.

It's kind of like a pet peeve of mine, like, you know, when people like do some good and post it. So I just work with a bunch of foundations and help people behind the scenes, as far as dogs and humans go. And then in the meantime, in between time, you know, I like to study the things I'm trying to do. So, you know, the TV shows that I'm really into,

from Raising Canine to Snowfall was my joint. Walking Dead, I like to watch and see different camera angles and different TV shows and movies. And then like, I kind of write that into my script. Like, oh, I want the overhead shot looking down on the bed. So I'm just a student of the game, whether it comes to music or whether it comes to film and TV.

So that's what I do in between doing my other stuff is just pay attention, watch and learn. Well, that's amazing. Justina, thank you for your time. We appreciate you stopping by Nightcap. We definitely gonna have you on club, Shea Shea. We don't, we haven't, I don't know. I'm trying to think.

Listen. I don't like, dude, that's one thing about me. I'm not a bully. I don't like beating up on people. You know what? Hey, don't say that, hold on. You know, listen, we could have had a live date. Now, Justina Valentine, I'm about to have it my way.

I usually give a woman flowers, candy and cars, but this ain't gonna be Valentine's Day. See, that's why I told you to do your homework, because you don't wanna end on a low note.

Yes, sir. Ocho, you better leave that girl alone, Ocho. You better leave that girl alone. Oh, she came ready. Her word play serious. What? She know she can't, she can't read it. She can't read it. She can't read it, right?

She can't read it, right? But listen, my word play serious too. I got the gift of gab too. I've been a Yaffa before Yaffan was actually considered Yaffan. I've been talking for a long time. Oh Joe, we- Now you can't, you can't-

We more, we more of a Jonas. I mean like that battle rapping, we more Jonas. We more telling jokes. Listen, let me tell you. I got a mentor, right? I got a mentor at battle rap, right? Twerk and DNA, they're my mentors. That's why I can hang when I'm on that stage and I'm in the presence of those that do that.

So because of Twerk and DNA, I can get in there and I can do what I need to do. Now see, she told me to end on a low note cause she know I was finna turn it up a notch. I was finna turn up the volume. And she like, hold on, let me say something real quick so it don't keep going.

See y'all ain't notice that. Like I said, I'm somebody, when somebody, hey in battle rap, when somebody's rapping, you never interrupt. So she interrupted for a reason. So I can't really give her that seasoning. Okay. On the U vs U podcast, we welcome Polo Molina, music manager to the stars.
