Big Boy and Outcast
That was two different times
The Dungeon family
That's like 75 people
If you really know
Atlanta
That's Outcast
Future
TLC
Usher
Rinko Wade
Basically if you ever
recorded a hit song
In Atlanta you had to be
round 6.
Somebody in the Dungeon family.
You know how they had that thing where it was like,
everybody in the last 15 NBA Finals
and been Shaq teammate.
Nigger, every piece of good shit
that they ever came out of Atlanta,
somebody from the Dungeon family,
was over there.
Yeah, that's real shit, actually.
That's real shit.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think we ground this shit, man.
We're from it, so it's...
It feels different.
Man, I'm just looking.
looking at the list. This ain't even, the list cut off. It's still 10 years of shit that you've done
that don't know. Even the internet was like, man, ask him. So catch it from after 2011,
man, tell me some more shit. Man, um, shit. Went to Atlantic. Um, see how normal this shit is
to you. It's like, you switch jobs. Went to Atlantic. Uh, we do at Atlantic. We, we do at Atlantic.
a lot of records over there.
It's one of the biggest record companies
in the world.
And reconnected with Pharrell over there
like that, me and him. When did you connect with
him? You're just going to start the story when
y'all reconnected. Wait a minute.
Welcome back to the 85-7 show.
You see the shorts
on the table. You see the hoodies.
Be great. This is one of the
greatest. I'm looking at
a list of all your favorite songs
and you didn't even know the
K.P. has something to do with it. Welcome to
the trap of K.P.
Hey, man. Come on, man.
We're not even worth it.
We didn't have a lot of Atlanta legends
come through here and don't act like
you ain't one of them. You'd be downplaying
all this shit, but you've got to come over
here and give us your version
of the pieces of Atlanta history
that you'd have been a part of. Look at this list.
Do you remember this shit?
Yeah, all that. All right.
And then you got to tell me about the shit that ain't on it.
like let me see um
so you said you reconnected with
real for real how did you connect with
them how did you start all of this
um clearly it was around
1990
now this shit hit
in 96 so you had to be doing it about
93 at least so no 90
90
having to go to school with the tri-city
where like outcast
see what I'm saying
you even went to a historical
Atlanta high school
okay yeah
DC went over there for a minute
that's the one he got
threw out of him, I think. So here's the thing. So I did a bunch of that. Like, I went to
Mays. They asked me to leave. I know for a fact that he
went to Mays. Yeah. Okay. They're strict. They don't want everybody here.
So,
I went to Lake Show. I did a tour. I went to all the high schools.
Okay. And in doing that, I met a bunch of people.
Okay. I graduated from Tri-City, which is where Outcast,
both of them went. Candy,
Keenan from Saturday Live. It's like a bunch of people went in this
time period. Exactly.
And all of us were working. We all knew
we wanted to do shit. It was like talent show kids.
And yeah, and we started
working. And at that time,
LA and Babyface and Pebbles moved to Atlanta.
Like, they met
T-Bos, who was a friend of mine
who went to, she was,
TLC, I'm sorry, T-Boss from TLC.
Right. She was my
homeboy who was in a group with me, his brother's
girlfriend. So
it was like all these weird, everybody
was just randomly connected. Right.
And then, you know, and they got a deal.
And on one of their video shoots, they were doing an audition for the video, baby, baby, baby.
And Tion was like, yo, y'all should come down, bring the group, y'all see if y'all can, we can slide.
I'm going to figure out how to get y'all.
If I can slide y'all in and get Pebbles to see y'all.
And I brought about some turntables.
We set up.
And Pebble was like, well, if I'm a, if I'm going to watch you, what are you going to do for me?
And I was like, yeah, like, that's I felt.
And she was like, you know, like, I'm here auditioning.
I need people for a video.
Like, if you'll be in video, then, yeah, I'll watch you.
And I was like, oh, yeah, I'll take one for the team.
I ain't know what I meant, so it wasn't like a thing yet.
And so anyway, she was like, you're going to be Chili's boyfriend in the video.
Yeah, okay.
And that's how it's, and so from then.
Who don't want that job?
Yeah, right.
I was like, I did.
Cool.
So that, and that's how I started.
Like, we got pulled in, Pebbles, brought me in.
and it kind of opened up the back door
so I could see, like, how shit worked.
Like, the first time I ever met with,
she had me come down to a video set, like, an editing bay
where she was editing, like, a TLC video
and, like, explaining to me why certain shit was happening.
So I was, like, you know, I was always intrigued by that part.
And eventually, she was like, you know what?
You really do have an interest and a knack for it to understand me
because you speak both sides.
Like, you ain't really tripping, like,
on people who work at the record company,
like thinking you gotta be a different kind of way but you also delivering the message
you know in a way that it's understood so yeah she was like you should you should be with
LA like you should work with LA so she's the person who put me on with LA who brought me in
a start doing ANR so that's how I got in as an executive man that you just been turning that
shit up every look at this shit somebody finding the other years can't find the
the years, man.
Tony Braxton,
bro.
You worked on
one of the biggest
songs
of our generation.
Well,
that was,
I mean,
like,
the hard part
about taking credit
for shit like
that is like
she was already
Tony Braxton.
Exactly,
but you came
when that happened.
Yeah,
okay,
yeah, so,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
that's one of the
biggest songs.
But I was able to,
like,
just connect some shit.
Like,
my homeboy Bryce,
who was in this group
Groove Theory was like
They dope as hell
as fuck.
So,
He's producing and Babyface, like I'm at LaFace or I'm connected to Babyface.
So I'm like, man, it'll be hard if Babyface wrote over one of your tracks,
like one of them hard-ass records.
And he wrote, you're making me hot for that.
Would you see how you tell the shit so normal?
Man, this is fucking crazy.
You know how good you have to be at music for Babyface to even talk to you?
Well, no, actually, you know.
got to not be scared of baby face.
But I'm saying, like, then when you're not scared of him,
you have to really deliver some good shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's baby face.
Yeah, he writes song, like, yeah.
The end of the road.
Sing that, it's over.
Yeah, can we talk?
You can't even name all the shit, that baby face.
No, you can't.
So that's why the shit, like, well, I can't trip,
because I know baby face.
I see him, like, the niggas I know are, like, really, like.
Bro, if he comes to the trap, we're shutting this bitch down.
We're not even going to record, nothing else in here.
They got to move.
We've got on a new location, bro.
Yeah, y'all actually might want to just go to his house or some shit.
Bro, no, because then we're not going to want to go back to our house.
His shit way nice, too nice.
I wouldn't even feel nice enough to go over Babyface's house.
No, man.
Those where you're at? I ain't coming.
It's Babyface, man. I'm not coming.
Hey, man. Babyface's cool.
I believe you that, man.
Like, you know, they're from, like, Ohio.
Okay.
Like, they're some dudes, man.
Like, they're really cool as hell.
Who is they?
Is Babyface in some movies?
Yeah, like, LA, L and Bayfaces.
Oh, okay.
I thought you, I thought when you met Babyface,
you had to meet, like, a group.
Like, hey, we are a baby face.
Yeah, exactly.
That's how you made the show.
Like, it's a group.
Like, it's a group of things.
Yeah, that's cool, man.
Like, Brune on Oz.
Yeah, yeah.
I like it.
It's a group.
You fuck with Bruno Mars, man
That name, him and Anderson Pack, they got some
Yeah, that shit
Like, like, on his thing, I love Anderson Park
Anderson, his shit is dope, dope
Yeah
I rock with Bruno, he's a great, he's a great
entertaining.
And I feel like he is the perfect mix
Of everybody.
He is, man, and that's what it is.
It's like he's a, he's like a, he's like a
He's every nationality, he can be anybody.
And he's it, like he just,
he fit everywhere, bro, bro.
He could be at a Floyd Mayweather fight.
He could be at the Manning Pachial birthday party.
Playboy Mansion.
The Playboy Mansion.
The Soul Train Award, the Super Bowl.
Bruno Mars.
He could show up a Gucci Man spot.
He can be with Gucci Man.
A Gucci Man and a Bruno Mars?
That's a hit.
But they got one.
They got one.
High.
Exactly.
Goochie Man and Bruno Mars.
Wow.
They need a whole album.
Actually, I just want Bruno to do.
He should do like an album with everybody he liked.
He should.
I think he should do one song with everybody in the industry.
He's multicultural like that.
Yeah, I get it.
Don't worry about that.
That just means the chicken ribs.
Oh, shit, what we got?
I don't know what the fuck that man.
What happened?
The light died or something shit.
Whatever.
It's a sign, though, that we're on the right path.
Bruno Mars can do music with anybody.
Light bulb.
Idea, I get it.
And man, what type of advice do you give people when they ask you about the music industry?
It's clearly you've seen it go from actual physical, hard copies to a digital age.
And, you know, it's only a few people that have really broke through on the digital age.
Man, and this ain't because of the shirt, but it's like, really, it's like, be great.
Like, I would normally used to say be dope.
Just be dope.
Like, that shit will cut through and get you to have the opportunity to learn all the things.
other shit. Right. But have something that
nobody else can do. Like, if you
can fuck around and do something that... Some intangible
shit. Intangible shit. And I'm like, and nobody
can tell you, nobody can tell you
what that is. No. So it's like,
but you got to be the best version of yourself. Like, you got to be
cool enough with yourself to, like,
receive that shit. Like,
that's why people, that's why tip, is tip.
Because he really is, that's just
who he is. So every message
or everything that comes through is, it's unadulterated, because it's like he
ain't putting shit on it.
keep that shit real
that's the first step
to be in great
yeah
yeah man
and you gotta be able
to tune out criticism
yeah that shit man
listen if you
if you ask for some advice
listen to it
filter it out
to see what work
for what you're trying to do
right
some of it might
some other ain't
some people don't know
how to listen to advice
ah
you gotta
like sometimes
the whole advice
might not work
no
sometimes the whole advice
be too big
for your situation
you just gotta take the part
yeah like
Like, this part worked.
I ain't fucking with that yet.
But later on, you've got to remember the whole shit,
but you can only apply this shit that work for you.
But that's the part.
Like, okay, and be aware of your, like, self-awareness, bro.
In the moment.
Yeah, you got to be aware all the time.
Like, if you want to do this,
because you're in a world of creative people.
It's people making up shit all the time.
Exactly.
And you've got to figure out how to ride this wave of creativity,
but remain real in it, right?
and that shit was a whole other level of awareness
I just assume like if you're surfing
like the awareness you have with the water
you gotta have that kind of that level of concentration
and awareness riding this shit
don't you hate this shit when you had
in the caprisa and straw won't come out
yeah because they know you can do to make your thing cool
you got to get some scissors
like somebody
there you go
shit I hate that
that's the most uncool shit you can do
on this show but I always drink some
drink some kind of, you know, juice, one the ninks start saying real shit.
Yeah, you didn't give up.
I never will.
That's part of my perseverance.
Yep.
Put that on my, on the wall by my name.
Perseverance.
Never give up.
Never gave up.
Got it out the mud.
Where's the mud, by the way?
Shit, I'm from Mississippi.
The mud is everywhere.
Everywhere.
Shit, my driveway.
Hey, man.
That's the deep air reads.
Marvin.
Gay? Yeah, he's the one. Check this out.
We got the same birthday.
Oh, shit.
It's right here. He's my official
unofficial
co-host. That's what's up.
We take Marvin Gay everywhere, bro.
You should. He's up.
Hell yeah.
What kind of shit you think
you and Marvin Gay would have got into in the studio?
Musically.
Arguments.
Oh. Probably. No, definitely. Only just arguments.
I mean, because
I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know the
Aries do well together in that kind of space.
Who you argue with the most in the studio?
All these greats.
Argue at the most?
Yeah.
Tilt.
But I don't argue.
We don't argue.
But debates are like,
they're like intense.
Just about random shit.
Anything.
Anything.
Like, just cause.
Like, just cause.
That's just how, that's part of the creativity.
It is.
But, you know, it's the reason why he can write.
write a T.I. versus TIP.
Because he really is, he's arguing with you
to hear the whole part. Like, what's your whole
point to have an understanding?
Like, I've never seen nobody argue as much
as much as him. But he does
it with, he
actually listens to the other part.
Like, I think most people would be arguing just to hear themselves,
be loud.
He's really trying to get, like, a real,
like a convicted.
He's argumentative, though.
Absolutely.
Who's second, then?
Because I figured it would be him.
Really?
Put a list of shit out.
That's all we got for now.
I mean, we mean no disrespect
because we know you did a lot of shit.
That's all the internet
allow us to happen.
You know, times are hard.
They're cutting back on everything, even information.
They get brought it back down to 3G.
I'm telling you, when we got to the second page,
they were like, ask him.
That's what it said on the bottom.
I'm sorry.
so listen
oh you know what
because we've known each other
along it's probably outcast
and I outcast
the both of them but me and big boy
for real
yeah so you've been all like
in the creative process
with them bro
they probably got some great shit
that the world never heard
absolutely
like there's an version
like Seelow
singing happy
it's crazy
Silo Green
Singing happy
If that don't never come out
We should just invite
Silo to karaoke
Just in the world
Do you understand
How much the world need to hear that?
Yeah
It's fun
As it's great too
That song already
And sold like 12 billion copies
They should at least leak that
No
All right
No
We can't redo it
And say
I'm in a good mood
Or
Nothing is I'm pleasant
I'm feeling decent
Decent
Decent as hell
That's the best
They're going to let a nigger feel
Because we decent
That's about right
Don't want to be happy
Because they'll shut the whole shit down
For real
Niggers be decent
Shit
That's
What?
We should do it.
Decent.
Decent.
Hey, man,
ain't nobody got that one?
Come on,
you the A&R.
Make that,
what to call him?
I'll call Celo.
I know he'll be with the shit.
He'll do it.
I'm going to call the son first
and then have your son tell him.
And what you should do is have him do it at your show.
Decent.
Let him do it live like Eric Badoo did Tyrone.
What if we fucking record this shit
in the song hard than the motherfucker?
Then he sent the bill and that one won't be able to
come out either.
Damn.
I mean,
sure.
All right, man.
I appreciate
John Flirvin.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Delete that shit.
Delete all that.
No, I think you good.
I think you good.
Like, you understand?
Y'all, like,
y'all are, like, a big part of the culture.
We ain't even know it yet.
Yeah.
See, we're still playing catch up.
See, we're still putting the whole history of the
culture together.
Okay.
So that's why we had to bring you.
Okay.
Because there's so much shit you've been a part of
in Atlanta in the world
that had an impact on the culture
so once we catch up with
all right this these are the people who was like
this the culture that we were seeing
before we was a part of it
right okay look at how much of my favorite
shit you didn't put on this list
so I got this platform
I got to invite you and ask you
how how man you know what
just being open to it
like that's it man like the real of this
I've never
put that much on it
because I recognize
how much goes into it
like how many people
like it takes to make some shit
like work for real
that's why this
that's exactly what I'm saying
yeah so it's like my awareness
for that makes it like not that
it makes it to where I just want to keep doing shit
if I see somebody doing some dope
and I can help or assist
if I can put somebody together
if I can whatever I can do
to kind of amplify
or put an amp on that
like that's what I feel like I'm
supposed to do. But that's on some DJ shit too because it's like that muscle of being able to
like play music, see a crowd, trying to find a way to make everybody feel involved. It's like
when you can figure that out, if you can do that in other places, it's, you know, same feeling.
How long have you been DJing?
Shit since I was 13. What is that? In 2020, a group of young woman in a tidy suburb of New York
city found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare.
Someone was posting photos.
It was just me naked.
Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly
like my own.
I wanted to throw up.
I wanted to scream.
It happened in Levittown, New York.
But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the internet and to the
front lines of a global battle against deep fake pornography.
This should be illegal, but what is this?
This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law
and about vigilantes, trying to stem the tide.
I'm Margie Murphy.
And I'm Olivia Carvel.

or wherever you get your podcasts.
Yeah, like, 305 years.
I always wondered how people know that could be a DJ.
So this is weird, right?
So this is probably like the most hip-hop-ass story, like, ever.
So when I was like 11, 10, 11,
I used to go to the airport at Atlanta at Hartsfield.
They used to have the shit where you can take those little carts.
And when you return them from people leaving them, it would give you $0.25.
So I used to go, we would go find all the carts, take them, get the money.
They had a game room in the airport, like an arcade.
So me and my cousin would go in and do this shit and play video games for like an hour.
I'm playing video games one day, and this dude walks up, I'm playing this kung fu game.
It was like a two-player jump.
And dude was like, yeah, surety, can I play this game?
with you and I'm like you know some weird or shit like you know not like why and um so he's like
I mean no no it's just you know it's my game it's my game and I looked up and he had a necklace
on and it had like Chinese lettering so I was like oh that's interesting so we're playing
and I was like what does that say and then he was like it was LL Cool J and I'm like what's that
mean and he was like ladies love Cool J I was like but I this is like again 10 11 this ain't like
I don't know yet.
So, but, like, this is, like, hip hop is starting, like, to branch out.
So I'm in the airport, and he's talking to me, and I'm like, he starts breaking down,
and he travels the world.
He's in Atlanta doing a show, and he has this song, radio.
No, I need a beat.
And I was like, oh, I know that shit.
And then I'm like, so wait a minute, so what you're doing here?
And he's telling me all this shit, like, I travel the world, you know, you know,
and he's L.L. Coojay talking.
So I'm like, a kid, like, oh, wow, it's like some mean, Joe Green shit.
And he's like, yo, won't you come back?
And I don't, and it sounds weird saying the story now, but he's like,
won't you come back and submit my people.
And I'm like, I tell my cousin, let's go.
And it's before TSA, so you can go wherever in the airport.
So we go back to their gate.
And it's him, it's like the Beastie Boys.
It's like, it's like Def Jam.
And he's telling me shit.
And he introduces me to Cut Creator.
And he's like, he's the DJ.
And he's like, I'm like, so what you do?
Because he seemed like the most.
chill person there
like he was like
you know
like the Beastie boys
were like
sprawled out in the airport
it was like
it was some rap shit
but he seemed like
cool and aware of shit
he was like
well you know
I keep the shit
going
and that
go fast for it
I go home
I tell my mom
for Christmas
I want turntables
and she gets me
turntables
and that's how I started
man that's the
craziest shit
I have ever heard
bro
a lot of people
then came through here
and told a lot of stories
there ain't nobody told no fucking L.L. Cool J story.
So you're just a kid, minding your business with a pocket full of quarters.
Relocating airport buggies.
L.L. Cool J. like, yo, little man.
What type of fucking Coca-Cola commercial shit is this?
He didn't told an 11-year-old kid,
yo, shit, I'm a rapper. I travel.
Yo, come meet my people.
Those are the Beastie Boys.
Excuse me, they drunk, young man.
Make better decisions in your life.
Don't be drunk at an airport.
My man Cutt Created right here.
Like, he's the father figure of the group.
You see how he's the red.
What the fuck, man?
And then as he was leaving, he took off his cane going and was like,
Hey, little man.
Catch.
Now, keep in mind, this was the 80s.
So he went home.
Like, yo, moms, I was in the airport today, cold chilling.
L. L. L. L.J. pours up on me.
Where's my mother?
I'm sorry, you're my mother.
Listen.
So, he wants me to, yo, he totally wants me to go sign with them, chair.
I was like, L.L., no disrespect to my man's, but I'm 11.
He's like, yo, Shorty.
We got tutors on the bus.
You ever heard of these kids?
Yo, look at his dope janey gave me, mom.
I'm really part of the crew.
You're killing.
So I ran away at 11 and went on tour with Def Jam.
I didn't and Jermaine did.
Exactly. See?
Yeah.
It could have been you and Jermaine.
Yeah, straight up.
Damn it.
Man, that is some of the doperest shit I have ever heard.
No, the best part of it for me is like, so I had this a radio shack walkman.
And then they asked me, could he buy it?
And I had bought it.
I had paid like $10 for it.
Look, look, listen, I paid about $10, $12 for it.
My mom did.
I sold it to him for 40.
Bro, what type?
L.L. Cool J.
You remember this shit?
Come up here and tell us what happened.
It was really L.L. Cool, Jay.
And that nigga bought your walkman at the Atlanta airport.
At 11.
I had $40.
That was like $400 plus about $7.00 of quarters I had.
Like, nigga, I was so good.
I bet you came home like, Mom, you can quit your job.
We made it.
This airport shit is looped.
I got this.
Watch.
Watch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can't be a black kid and come home with $40.
Your grandma going to break down crying.
Oh, my grandson is in the new street.
Yep.
He came home with a pocket full of money.
Quarters, no less.
Oh, man.
Man, that's the wildest shit, though.
Shout out to L.L. Cooja.
Without that interaction, none of this shit would have happened.
Yeah.
All they take is that.
Be that little piece of fucking...
Yeah, the want to go play some fucking video games.
Just how good of a DJ Cut Creator was,
bro. You didn't even see
him DJ. Not one fucking time.
You didn't even see him around
the fucking music. But let me tell you what happened on it,
but let me tell you what I did, like, about
three months after that, that fucking, what's my
DJ's name? Cut creator. I heard
that goddamn song like, I know this nigga.
Like, what?
Like...
Bro, until you're told this... Like, I bet
every time you have told that story
it was unbelievable until this point
and time. Now people
on the internet are going to be like
yo, I worked at the Atlanta
airport back then. He is
not lying. Somebody no.
I'm saying I was up
that bitch every weekend, bro. Like,
just taking them fucking buggies back.
Damn. You probably made
the first hundred thousand
in quarters.
I had definitely... That's one of the business
airports in the world. I'm sure it was
cars everywhere.
Listen, I feel like they stopped
letting you get the quarters because of us.
Like, they don't do that shit no more.
Like, you can't go get no refund now.
Like, man.
Like, we caked up.
That's crazy, though.
Damn.
Do you ever run into L.L. Cool J again?
I did.
Did you tell them that story?
I did.
Did he remember it?
No.
He was like, I remember.
Like, he did, you know what I'm saying?
Atlanta?
I don't know.
Okay, okay.
Because he probably was doing shit.
Like, like buying little niggas,
like, like a walkman, like, radio shack ass.
Yeah.
Young niggas don't know I'm doing never, favor.
They'll meet that shit in me.
And you know what's crazy?
Today, L.L. is plenty of seed.
Today I bought this little hat from the dude that, the water boy dude.
They got these hats.
Waterboys in the hood.
I got it in the car now.
Like, you got to support.
You got to pay it forward.
Okay.
Wait until that one day they catch you with no money and they stun on you.
You think them water boys out there struggling?
No, no, no, no.
I didn't say it.
I broke your head, but no worry about it.
They didn't get any more, no water, boy, choke a heart.
Here you're talking about it.
Yeah.
Hey, man.
I respect the hustle.
It's fine.
They'll keep it real with you, though.
They caught me.
I ain't had no care.
They're like, I wish you right on money.
Go ahead, bro.
We just for with you on the show.
They're real, right?
Some of them...
Like, they're grown.
Some of them niggas, that's what I'm saying.
Some of them niggas is grown men
because the nigger had me shaving
on their neck.
Hey, man, they definitely got like...
They had the shave bumps and shit.
I'm like, where out of you?
Bro, I keep shut up.
Brohead.
They're like green, bro.
Like green.
Like green.
Like green, bro.
Go ahead.
You're asking way too much.
Go ahead, bro.
Yeah, and they gave me grown man eye contact.
Like, look.
Oh, no, cool.
All right.
Let me get with them hats.
Man, them they can take that shit serious, too.
They need you just let them post up,
because I hit through the nigga $5 a one time.
I was like, bro, you keep the water.
They're like, man, drink this damn water, bray.
I didn't have, like, just drop them on the seat.
I was like, I give, bro.
They care.
They give them, they give them for you.
That's how you.
They got a name.
They build the brand, like, that shit that made it out of Atlanta.
Like, like, detect.
the myth of like like this mythology in
LA like just like Dallas Austin
like everything in the world
that then happened he was right there
yeah you work with Dallas Austin
yeah how you run into Dallas Austin
well
Dallas used to live in college park
so it's like
skating rink like everywhere that niggas was at
Dallas was there right like but he was
see and that's what I was saying
like he'd be everywhere that
niggas be at yeah yeah I mean
Because he's for me and too, like, I think that might be the Atlanta superpower, like, the ability to be comfortable wherever you're at.
Like, you get there, you're like, all right, I ain't going to disrespect nobody.
I'm not going to allow nobody disrespect me.
It's going to be fine.
And you just enjoy it.
Like, we don't really go out of town and cause a problem.
You don't hear about Atlanta niggas going somewhere and causing an uproar.
Just don't happen.
Man, that might be the coldest shit you said, though, man.
I hope all the niggas in all the other cities just peep the message.
Man, learn how to fucking act.
So much great shit can happen when niggins start acting right.
That's it.
Act right.
Look, act right, man.
I guess that's just the down south shit, too, man.
We're a little...
I mean, we're crazy in our own right, but at least we, you know,
it's a certain level of respect that's given before it's just disrespect.
Yeah.
And it's actually used it, it's whatever energy you bring is going to get met.
more than
yeah it ain't even
disrespect at that point
it's usually like
self-defense
right
you know what I'm saying
and the element of surprise
too
that'll do it every time
you know
sometimes you might be arguing
with one motherfucker
and then a hundred
motherfucking
turned around
and you're like
all y'all with him
yeah
no I was just saying
really
that ain't true
me hopped at a nigga
you feel like
hey man listen
I say it like
it's a
it was this club
559
legendary comedy spot
too
absolutely
okay so this
okay I mentioned like
and 559 comedy shit
I'm doing it's a
project next door
called Harris Home
Come on
Okay so
Knicks from Harris Home
would come
To 559
The dude
Amateur Night
They're not really
Comedy?
Yeah
Like they just come
Like at the bar
So it's just regular hood
Niggas
And they would come
Who funny
You know how
Like you should do that shit
Them niggas
Like a gang of them
Yeah
And they would just come do it
And so like
They're up there
They're not necessarily funny
Except for the
To the nigs who came with them
because they know the joke.
Like, you know, a big-haired niggins.
You know what I'm saying?
And they're talking about somebody specific.
Right.
So it's killing these niggas.
Them three, the nigger roller.
But, so this particular night, it's two dudes from New York.
And it's 90s.
It's like early 90s.
Now, 94-ish, 95.
Vasashi might have been just kicking off.
Okay.
So, like, short sets and Cartier.
So they, it's some New York dudes there and there.
They're frustrated by not understanding.
jokes. So one of them stands up and like,
yo man, get the fuck off the stage.
It like goes, you know,
he went here. And dude
on the stage said, hey, buddy, hold on,
hello, hey, where are you from, y'all?
He said, the boogie down.
He said, oh, okay.
So geographically, you're not
really thinking this through. He was
like, huh? And he said,
see, because the way I see it is
if some shit go down
in the next five minutes, you got to
called New York. I got to call the
bar. And
at this moment, he was like,
what? He was about to wolf back.
His partner jumped up and knocked him clean out.
Saved
both of them.
His own homeboy knocked him
the fuck out. Clean, cold.
Bro, that story was doing like this, then that bitch went.
That's how
so, so
the reason why he stood up is because when he
said, my folks at the bar, literally
old club stood up like yeah
it was a save
he went in defense mode
yeah he was like bro
oh y'all didn't go on with him
yeah
keep the show going
who next from here's home
yeah yeah
because stand this nigga B
he's always fucking saying the wrong
shit man no disrespect
no disrespect
son
I don't know I don't know
son
by no shit I was supposed to buy something
from him
you understand so I don't know
son
so when you wake up
I'm gonna knock him back out
if the show ain't over.
No disrespect.
I'm finished.
He said the book,
I'm from all of them, son.
Yeah, no.
It took a turn for him, man.
Damn.
That's some crazy shit.
Comedy club
always got some bullshit going on.
If this is going to be a hard,
like if they got a good headlining,
somebody get knocked the fuck out.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Last show I had in Florida,
I knew she was about to get crazy.
They was laughing so hard.
Lady Leaming.
back her whole goddamn wig, fellow.
I'm thinking she's fend to, you know,
try to scramble and put it on.
She just took the motherfucker off a laser on her chair.
She got to put it back on there to make it.
This shit.
She's laughing hard
in the motherfucker, man. Some ladies, she
drunk. She mad. She get up,
talking shit. She didn't came and sat all
on the stage. I'm thinking security about
the cops. So she get up
and get back walking around.
This black lady just came up and was like,
Knocked their ass out
They think they was about to throw her out
I was like no I don't throw her out
They threw the lady who got knocked out
So as she get up she's still in the club
Fucking with people
How about this shit crazy
The white lady get up
Slap the shit out of
Everybody in the club
Chearing like a motherfucker out of
I was like I get the fuck out of here man
Because if this shit make the news
Yeah
You did it
It wasn't me
It was the crowd
That's how Florida get down
No whatever
Whatever brand of
comedy you brought.
Oh, yeah.
That's when that shit
started happening.
It's ass kicking me good.
I'm going to switch it up,
do some dolphin jokes or something.
There's other shit too about it,
about it.
Y'all on the road.
Y'all out now, right?
Come on, man.
No, I said.
We're out here.
Ghetto Legends tour.
Yes, sir.
You're right, yeah.
Yeah, man.
How's been out there?
Man, we're taking it one step.
better time. Like we've been
overdosing a while.
Yeah. Yeah. Man, it's been
all love. When people missed the hell out of us,
man. We went to Biloxia and sold
damn the 8,000 tickets, man.
Just out there showing man love
to the people who need it. One time for
Biloxia. Yeah, exactly.
Making came out and show
this love. Make him what's up?
Hell yeah, we got some
cool shit coming over here, man.
We're just working.
Okay. Yeah.
We got motherfuckers like you coming through here.
just dropping game owners, let us know
the L.L. Cool J is out here by and walking
is in the average. For little kids.
But what else strange that doesn't happen in this
motherfucker? Man, I don't...
That can't be the wildest shit that didn't happen
in the music industry. No, it's probably
not. But that's a
cold one, though. Yeah, that one applies to me
so I can, you know, I don't mind
have to tell that story.
Damn. That's a hell of a come up, man.
That might have just been
destiny for you to fuck with that music then.
No, absolutely. I feel like
Look, I'm not fighting it.
Like, and I think that's the other ones.
Like, I ain't fighting no feeling.
Like, if I felt it's honest,
and that's what I'm rolled with.
So I feel like my discernment is in good standing
because I don't really, like, my intent is good.
If you do good, good will come to you.
Yeah, you're from the South.
Real shit.
What do you mean?
Like, I'm really from the South.
I'm talking about, like,
Like with that water pump in the front yard.
Yeah.
That's the type of South.
With that good cold air water in there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That type of shit.
Okay.
I'm talking about I'm sold from the South.
Like our dog ain't never came in the house.
You feel me?
Yeah, that's outside.
That dog.
Don't bring that dog.
I'm talking about soul from the South when you can spend the whole weekend at your
grandma's house and don't have no clothes.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
It's fine.
Turn the things inside out.
Exactly.
I'm real South, bro.
I'm talking about when your girl.
when your grandma and your mama
they open up all the doors
when they're fried chicken
you smell that shit
in the whole neighborhood
yeah
but it don't
it don't fuck the house up
right
you know about that
I'm talking about
let your school clothes out
yeah
and not because you choose
it's because
it's because this is what you're wearing
right
right
yeah
it's real soft shit
it's real south shit
yeah like we'll go to bed
for real for real
take your ass to bed
I'm talking about
real south where you'd be like
I'm hot and they just be like, be still.
Sit down
something wild.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
It's the real self-ship.
I'm talking about
what an ice cream man just pull up
and turn the van off.
That's it.
One stop.
First of all, it's going to, because the person
with money it's going to take
about ten minutes to come out of the house.
One stop.
And he ain't playing no ice cream man music.
Straight Gucci.
Well, I'm sorry.
He's playing Gucci Lemonade.
That's the official good
ice cream man's out.
Let him have my way is in the free cup.
Yeah, it's real shit.
Damn, I've actually heard that.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, I've heard that, like, recent.
Yeah, okay.
Damn, did they change it?
I wonder where the fuck you buy an ice cream truck from.
Ice cream truck stole, yeah.
You ain't never rode past nowhere, and they had a bunch of ice cream
trucks out there for sale.
I mean, when you get a mail truck at?
They don't sell mail trucks, do that.
I mean, they're not about to let you have a mail truck.
Unless you work for them.
You got to work at the post office that buy, like, a old mail truck.
They're just like an ice cream nicks.
I don't know.
I think them niggas be making their own decals.
But who put the fridge right there?
Some of them don't have it.
It'd just be a chain de-freezer in that bitch with a power converter.
That's an electrician, too, then.
Amen.
You do what you got to do.
Grift there.
that's what it is
that's a hustle though
because we ain't never even find out
who ice cream men work for
where the ice cream came from
exactly these motherfuckers
might be working for the federal government
poisoning and y'all talking about corona
and then they always talk about all the shit
that they put in the projects in the ghetto
won't nobody investigate
where the fuck all their ice cream came from
you're thinking about
yeah because I'm like I don't know these things
like they were all weird
urban areas and places that you couldn't get
Pisa delivered, and they would show up right at the most violent time.
Like in the middle of football games, like shit.
About 6 o'clock when it's almost dark, this nigga pull up.
Tingling, ling, ling.
You can hear that music.
Everybody know what the fuck that music is.
Niggins a dope boy.
Like, shit, I cream, true.
Hey, hey, hey, little man.
Hey, show that.
Hey, bring me a baseball glove with the bug on.
What you want, a moon pop, a boom bomb, what you want?
Yep.
And then you remember all that.
those, like, propaganda, don't
do drugs, movies from the 80s.
They'll have kids, like, getting shot, because they
didn't bring the dope boy his change back.
Yo, little man, where's my $5?
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, pah, pow,
pow!
See, kids?
Why was he shot? Because he was
smoking crack. That's like, what?
No, he tried to take that nigga Monday.
We're all of them. If we go back and watch
that shit now, they probably destroy it all
them. Them little Friday afternoon
special shit they used to show us in
at school.
Man, listen, like, I'm watching, like, they do these, like, commercials from the 80s,
and you see how, like, weird shit look now.
Like, the people that you bought shit from, like, kids' minds from little pineapple-cut whitewoods.
Like, their hair was, like, and they bangs, like, Justin Bieber.
I'm going to fuck you up.
Remember that show, Mr. Wizard?
Yep.
Creepy old white man.
Just pick up some random kids, take him to his house and do science experiments.
this makes this LL Cool J story way weirder the way that you talk like when you think about it
think about it man LL cool J in the airport all these people trying to
yo LL can we get a picture no by the way no it wasn't even he wasn't famous shit this was
I need a beat it wasn't videos oh like it wouldn't like this is I don't even it was it like
80 this was real underground hip hop shit yeah it's like I need a beat like this is there's this
88. 89? Yeah
early. Like, 86?
Yeah, that's a 10-11, yes.
Yeah. Yeah, man.
So it's like, he was
really just, he was on the come up.
He's just a good-hearted dude, I guess.
Yeah. He's a little nigga guy hustling.
Let anybody buy that walk, man, for over. How much, 40?
All, here you go, shorty.
Because he had to know this shit was radio shake. It was, like,
realistic. It probably said,
Radio Shack. They said realistic. Like, that's
Radio Shack brand, whatever.
He just probably just really needed
one. He might have
been listening. What if he was listening to the demo
of like the rest of the radio album?
He was probably listening to the
instrumentals and writing the rhyme.
That's what I'm talking about. On your shit.
Now that's
a new face type shit. That is.
Like that guy, damn new face.
That's a new face type shit, man.
Like.
Yeah, so 84 is.
Yeah.
Damn.
And you've really been out here in these streets.
Yeah, it was 11.
So you're so deep in the hip-hop.
How do you get in the studio with pink and shit like that?
So I started doing...
Like you got a broad range of shit.
I like music, man.
I grew up, like, it wasn't an algorithm.
Put us up on some shit that niggas might not know about,
like some outside of the normal shit.
What should throw us some shit we can go fucking with?
You mean, like, just...
basically some white people shit
there's some shit you know about
that you wish more niggas knew about
you know what I don't know if it's not white
and shit but nothing like that
but it's Shuggy Otis like it's
Shuggy Otis
Shuggy Otis? You fuck with it?
I know you're, see, I mean he's different
Yeah, I mean like the thing
It's like a bunch of
It's like so much music bro

I mean, yeah, I mean, well, he worked with us in,
well, he worked with Farrell in the Nepsul's.
Tell me about this shit, man.
Tell me about what you and Farrell over there doing.
Honestly, man, we're just trying to keep contributing, bro.
Like, that's honestly all it is.
It's like, the goal is to be able to contribute and learn from, like, everybody.
Like, the newer, the newer artists, the catalog arts, the classic, you know, the people we came up with.
Right.
But, like, making sure that, you know, there's a bridge of information and just the fundamentals get passed on.
If a real came on this bitch, I know this shit will blow up in Japan.

Bitch he didn't calm
Went to the car
Tame my shirt
And got my gun
Good
You got my gun
Yeah
Your niggins be too detailed
Brough
They get on the red shirt
They get on the song
Make the disc record
Not only talk about the shooting
But talk about the injuries
And where the bullets
Hit that niggie bruh
Yeah
Your homeboy talking shit
But that 12 game hit him in his chin
Came down in the breast cavity
And hit him in the breast
Came out the nipple
Hit it back
Now ain't parallel
Hit him in the eye
He could see
I had on a disguise
I'm like oh my car
It was Mono Reagan
Cause I know nigga don't know who that is
What?
They tell you the kind of bullies
That U-223
Hit their car
Engine Cut Off
What the fuck?
tell you a little part of my bed
ain't many stuff on his jade
what
no man like
these niggas are too
they good at what they do
yeah man
but I'm just saying
if they just changed
the subject matter
and made it positive
it might even hit harder
bro
I'm telling you
what if the niggins
start rapping about
shit that you never
expect them to rap about
they start rapping about
fucking solar systems and hidden planets and shit
niggas start rapping about that hidden color shit
it's actually more people who know about that
than they are who actually know how to sell crack
everybody don't really know how to sell though
Nick Craig crack really been out of style
yeah that's what I'm saying like it ain't really like
the biggest population of people don't do criminal
do you understand like crack ain't even like
selling crack ain't even a top profession no more
you can make more money as a YouTuber than you can't
selling crack
you can make more money
doing live streams for two hours
than you could selling crack for a whole
weekend. Yeah. Yeah, it's not
fly. If you're doing it, you just
ain't, you just didn't develop with like no new
skills. Do you understand you could trade
Forex right now and make more money
selling crack?
Do you understand that people
who sell crack make less than people
who work for Amazon?
That's not even
including the benefits. No, there
are no benefits. So I'm telling
me. Think about one of the
drug dealer die
you don't
I'm just saying when they
ever seen like when the street nigga died
and the niggas be they net worth be
16,000 like you did all
this in the streets
so 16,000
like they still doing go fund me
fuck
nigger you owe 12,000
on an escalate
so basically
all right you did you took all these chances
for $4,000 for $4,000
money
some outfits.
Amen. But throw back Thursday though
for the rest of your life. That's
what you did it for. Remember that?
I remember what I was that boy.
Nah, man. I don't
shit. Because I remember
real drug dealers.
Not saying that the drug dealers.
Yeah, what was that mean? No, I'm just saying like
drug dealers from the 90s and shit.
When I was growing up, that shit looked like the
life. It's like pre-internet, right?
Man, before the internet came, man, the drug dealers just looked like they was having fun all the time.
They had nice cars.
They had fine women.
They had the nicest animals.
They had the best dogs.
They were just, what the drug dealers were outside?
They might have snakes.
Everybody was outside.
All the crackheads was outside, washing cars and shit.
It was just a better environment when the drug dealers, when they was just put outside being drug dealers with the music playing.
And your uncle would be like, hey.
Get your ass from over there.
What?
They're not even selling drugs right now.
I like this song.
We're just in the neighborhood.
I grew up.
Get your hands in the house.
You know they sell drugs.
They go under the jail.
They go out of the defendant.
All of them.
Everybody.
Look at them.
It was always that one old nigga who didn't approve.
Y'all was just going to sit here and eat the barbecue that he bought with this drug money.
Do you want a rip?
Hey, y'all want a rip.
I'm just saying.
I thought you all.
Get me?
It's back when the drug dealers gave a fuck about the community.
Yeah, they had to.
Just saying.
Like, they didn't have a side hustle getting, like, doing Instagram live.
They need this.
But they can't be on Instagram live talking about the shit they did while they were selling drugs.
They do.
But you can't.
I'm trying to tell.
They're guns.
They're drugs.
They're, like, all this stuff is on their live.
Stop doing that
Stop doing that
That's not
I'm going to act right
I tell
motherfuckers all the time
You don't
Don't record me
Doing shit that illegal
Well just see
My thing is
I just don't do illegal
Me either
Yeah I just know
Yeah
But I'm just saying
Yeah it's not worth it
I need to be in a safe environment
By the way
The trap is a very
Like I feel so safe
It is safe
It feels like
Yeah
It's because not that we're doing

I met Pebbles first.
Pebbles.
And she introduced me to L.A., and then I met Babyface last.
So when you was meeting them, did you understand you was meeting some of the titans of the music industry right then?
No.
I knew that these people had some cars I had never seen.
They had these funny trucks.
Like, they had rangerovers back when I didn't know what a rangerover was.

Part of being great

the folks are going to mess with me
as they mess with me.
I was like, all right, bro.

You take forever to do that shit, but whatever.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
You bet.
No.
See, that ain't how you make it.
Hey, man.
But, you know,
amen, that's what I'm saying.
It's enough information out here now
for people to be right and wrong.
That's what I be trying to tell them is,
like, it's enough information
that I hear for people to be right and wrong.
And you are wrong.
You have to know that you wrong.
You're fucking up.
Don't nobody want to hear about that part
You're fucking up
You go make some good decisions
And you're going to make some bad ones
That's part of the game
But that one right there
That was a bad one
You fucked up
All this goddamn Google out here

Man who look
Oh shit
Brin that the nigga
from uh
you're from uh
niggas
you know

saw the bed right now
hell yeah
niggins don't be known
I like I think
I think that's
nobody should know unless they care
I feel like you should care enough
if you don't care enough to know then
shit ain't for you
like I'm like man learn some shit about what you're trying to do
I know that's why I'll be watching
Walter Kronkike and shit
one day they're gonna give me a late night talk show
because I know how to talk to niggas
and are you gonna have to come through me
because I'm the only one over here prepared
welcome back to daily nightly black news
probably be having a girl
greater thing out so I can look more believable
yeah get you some glasses today we have
K.P. Music
you make
producers, don't you?
Yeah, that type of shit.
I was like, you'd be like the nigger whisper.
Right.
Yeah, like, whenever they need a Negro,
I'm like...
They're going to have... Well, at some point,
I know that they're going to need
an older black man. And I'm from
Mississippi, too, so...
Yeah, they might just be like, Reverend Carlos
Mel.
Reverend Good Doctor. Yeah, but you
can't see, like they like older black men
who don't want to be popular, so you can't really
look up at the camera, you've got to act like
you're shuffling something.
Today, in black
people news
looks like we're going to be
black forever.
Don't change, don't
try, but don't tell no lies.
Some shit, I know it's, my purpose
is deeper. I got you. Yeah, so
you got to research. Right.
That's another one. Who did you research?
Clarence Avon.
Gerald Busby
um
the
Russell Simmons
Andre Harrell
you know
and when I got to know
LA reading
baby face
like
then I started digging
into like
their history
like with people like
Dick Griffey
and people
they they
that's a cold name
bro
Dick Griffey
it was a gangster
they sound like it
yeah
but but it's like
you start
figuring out these stories
and started figuring out
the similarities
of like
the work
and the people
and the character
and the character
you have to carry
if you want to maintain.
So it's like
I looked at the people
whose music I liked
and looked at the people
who were behind that.
Like I just read
like I read credits
then I read biographies
on those people if it come up
so it's just like
get as much information
and that way you kind of find out
that
as different as special as you are
you're not that different
and you're not that special.
You know what I mean?
So it's like
but all these special people did
this much work.
I read Miles Davis' biography
and when you think about...
That motherfucker was a...
Yeah, but he practiced.
Everything, but he was just...
He had so much fucking time.
He could literally do everything.
Yeah, everything.
He was a superstar.
Like, and that's what I'm saying.
He was a superstar and that.
Like, everybody, if you figure out your thing,
you can be a superstar.
Welcome back to the 85 South Pole.
And this is my thing.
You know?
Yeah, dad.
I'm hanging in there like
they're rocking me
I haven't been not hit me
KP bro
don't let this be the last time
you fuck with us at the trap man
Kat got a question
Yeah
So like what your skill set
When you've been doing
Where's the weirdest place
You found out like
I never thought out for here
It was you
Um
What was it
Two years ago
2018
Um
I'm
So I became
For real's
music supervisor music director
see how you gonna be telling us shit
okay and that's the shit I'm talking about
bro it's too regular to you
no this is not regular by the way to me like this is like one of the moments
okay I bet okay so I'm
I've never done music
music um
supervise before like in the
in the um music director that's what I was music director
for his band now I'm not a musician
I'm a DJ but I'm like
I know how I like to hear his music
I'm like if you drop it like this
like the crowd will do this and you know so he was like well why don't you put my show together
so he ended up doing that and then he asked him in turn asked me to come DJ for on the road
okay so that's like cool then fast forward we end up doing this um festival called something in the
water and it was the idea he had where he wanted to just bring you know like like tourism
into virginian beach where he's from and um it was around the time that they usually do
black college week like beach week in virginia and um they
You know, just we wanted to figure out a way to program and give them something to do when they were there.
Because every other time they'd come, something would happen, like, you know, kids, restless.
Silly shit happened.
So we, like, let us program it cool.
The shit went over well.
We did the show, and we did a Farrell and Friends set in the show, and I'm the DJ.
So, Farrell's friends are Jay-Z, and, you know, so at one point, so that night, we're doing the show, and we're bringing people on.
and Jay-Z
I'm sitting on stage
I'm DJing
and I looked up and I realized
I'm DJing for Jay-Z and for real
like
and Jay-Z is like my favorite rapper
but I kept thinking back
at that moment I was thinking back
to getting turntables
and like how this shit
these turntables got me
to
you know rocking
for 40,000 people
but being the DJ
for like
icons
cultural icons
L.L. Kool-Jay put you
Korn on. You know what? That's the name of my book.
L.L. Put me on.
L.L. Put me on.
The full circle of that.
Yeah.
Because, like, if you go back
and you look, shit,
L.L. Kool-J. went on
to become of the same status.
You know what I mean? A God MC.
Like, he's one of the greatest.
Like, and most accomplished, like, didn't fall off.
Like, didn't go.
Like, he actually is one of the first success.
successful hip-hop artist. Like for real
life successes. Got a radio station.
You know, rock the bells and like, yeah,
it's like, like hip-hop is dope.
It really is.
Yeah, I feel like that's my, like, I'm...
So when you realize you're DJ and for Jay-Zian, for real,
did you fuck up a little bit? Like, oh shit, hold on, let me get back
album, multiple.
Absolutely not. Hell no.
They would have made that.
Man, that's been the worst. Oh, wait a minute.
The worst. Hold on. Oh, you ready?
No, no, no, no, no, no, what, no, what, no, which one?
Shit.
Oh, damn, Jay.
No, nigga, I'll consider it was you.
No, nigga, you know, because I'm looking at your people with this shit.
I'm like, nah, nigger!
B.O.C.
Okay, okay, all right, I'm ready.
I'm ready, I haven't read it.
You ready?
Nigger.
No, you're not at all.
Fuck that, dig.
At some point.
Let me say when I'm not fucking up.
When the light on it like that?
No.
No, I practiced.
Like, I practice.
I'm not going to, no.
Nope.
Like, I'm too hard on myself for that.
There you go.
Stay focused.
That shit would have been hard to get contained.
Man, it would be horrible, bro.
Like, to go all this time with a good name and shit.
And be the nigga fucked up the Ferrell and J.C. show.
Hey, man.
No.
Because that could happen at any moment.
You could be doing too good.
And in the middle of one of those breaks,
he'll be like, yo, who's your man?
Yeah.
He's dope.
I like him.
And then he'd be like,
Ah!
Okay.
Okay.
Right this.
Went back off.
Watch this shit.
Man, listen.
He goes crazy.
These nuts be.
No, man.
But just, yeah.
I don't know.
See it's shit like that, man.
Where else you're going to hear that from?
Somebody.
Like, somebody got, like, somebody got this similar story.
Like, like, like.
No, the fuck they don't, bro.
L.L. Cool J. May I bought one walk man.
It ain't no niggas.
It ain't no bunch of niggas out here with a story about the time they was DJing for Farrell and Jay-Z.
Niggas don't be knowing.
Niggas don't know what to do when Pink in the studio and her shoes are.
They don't know what she wanted to hear.
Where are shoes?
Ferrell, one of the coldest niggas to ever make some music.
And he was like, yo, put my show together.
Like, nigga, I don't know.
What the?
What you feel like doing today, bro?
I mean, you got those snow boots and a fur coat.
What you want me to do, for real?
Just do happy a bunch of times, and let's get the fuck out of here.
Man, if these thing's like everything you like, they trust you.
It ain't no worth of this shit.
You went to a Farrell concert and that nigger just did 16 songs you ain't never heard.
You'd be like, nigger, that new shit.
That's the real good?
Shit.
They're like,
oh, that was from the old album.
What?
Wouldn't that shit come out?
It's my shit from 96.
What?
He has music like that.
Yeah.
He got a song
where everybody that is good at music.
Yeah.
I mean, he's good at music.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're super good at that shit.
Like, that's it.
When you got a nigga who got this many hits,
how are you going to super
arrange this shit and make a show?
He literally got 50 songs that
turn the fucking arena upside down.
But he wasn't really
playing them.
Like, because I think that's, like,
you know, you get tired, you know, I don't know.
You just, like, you get numb to your shit.
Like, I wouldn't if I was, you know, I don't know.
But I guess.
Yeah, so.
He don't know.
He's like, man, what songs do you think they like?
But his songs be too big, bro.
You fucking play happy around him.
He was like, yo, turn that shit.
I was mad every time by hearing it.
Bro, I have no disrespect.
Play some more shit, but don't play that.
Yeah, nah.
No, you gotta be able to.
You ought to appreciate happy.
I'm telling you
he probably get a royalty check
just by us mentioning
I mean, sing it
I'm not going to
Because then my shit
My shit fucking around
It'd be too dope
And they won't let it come out
Like the Celo shit
Newface did you know
It's a Celo green version of Hapit
You heard it
Newface might have it's in the bag
Is it out
Can you find it on the internet?
You got it on his computer
Shut the fuck
Hey, by the way.

It was just talking about Yellow Wolf.
New Face, you know, Yellow Wolf used to pull up at the Camel Toe Contest that's
By itself.
By itself, bro.
I'm telling you, bro.
For real.
I used to host a cameltoe contest.
That's funny and shit.
Yeah, Yellow Wolf used to pull up.
That's about right.
Yeah, with the crazy-ass hair cut
with the little rat tail shit in the back
Mohawk on the side of shit
Oh, oh yeah
You ain't even talk about the Kendrick shit
Man, listen
That's the thing that I feel like is
Like I'm probably like just grateful to be a part of
Because it's like
At the moment it hit
And what it stood for
What it means now for it's an anthem now
Like it's a black song
Mm-hmm
I feel like it's like
That's like a good
Tell them what song you're talking about
I don't know
I'm sorry, all right
by Kendra Gulman
Yeah
It's like
Being a part of that
It's like that actually
I think
It's one of the moments
Where you know how
Some shit
It's like
Oh this change this shit
Yeah
It changed objective of the movements
And marches and protest
And it changed the face
It happened during that moment
Like when Jesus
My president's black
Yeah
It changed
Like you said
It changed the culture
It went this way
Yeah so
I mean, you know, that's just one of the things, like, again, it's like, I guess the other part is just like, stay, like, stay, like, stay true to you and your people, like, because, like, for real, this relationship starts. It's, I'm serious to this, you know what I mean? So it's, it's, you know, I think you. In least 20. That's 20. Yeah. So it's like, you know, like, I feel like, you know, we ought to have been through ups and downs and we don't have been hot, not hot, you know, and realize that it's no real, like, it's no real, like, it's. Like, it's like,
The hot shit is like somebody made up to make you feel like it's secure about if you don't.
And once you realize it's like, man, just be creative.
Like, just do the shit that you love doing.
Like, don't put, don't, don't, you won't even give a fuck about the time.
The time goes by.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's funny.
No, they put the effort into it.
No, is it, hey, man.
I was buying anything that had that logo on the road.
So I've always told them personal, but man, it's just, you know, just, you know, just starting to the year.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, man.
You're a real one, bro.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
And your contributions to the game shall not be overlooked.
I don't know how many other platforms you've been on, but it's an honor and the privilege to have you over here in the trap on 85 South show.
Hey, yeah, I appreciate it.
One thousand a show, dude.
I'm, like, this is one of ones that I'm like, like, I told my kids, I'm going to be on 85 South.
Like, it's, like, it's some cool shit.
I did the same thing before I got it.
Yeah.
on me. Like, yeah, when I used to come in, I used to do that shit.
But no.
But, no, man, this shit is like, this is dope to me.
Like, so I appreciate y'all having me up here and, you know, kicking it with y'all in the trap.
Oh, man, when did this shit come out and then your people going to hit you and be like,
nigga, I ain't know you're on that big, why you ain't tell them about that time?
You forgot to get Monica sandwich and she wouldn't?
Yeah, for her, I ain't got no story about it.
No, that's fucking with you.
I mean, no disrespect.
I would.
I mean
We gotta get her up here, man
I've been trying to get her up
She said she was coming
I'm surprised
She ain't even up here
She said she was coming
She's very home
And she had home
I know she loved
Get on shit
That's my nigga
I was hosting the shit show
One night
She pulled up
She had her own microphone
I don't know
How the motherfucker
Was hooked up
To the club shit already
She had her own gold
microphone
She pulled that motherfucker out
She walked in the club
with a fur coat on
every trap nigga in that
damn near crap I'm talking about they was about to cry
she sung three songs
a float two or three songs didn't you
three songs I'm talking about sound
like the CD
no I mean she
you know she that she that one for us man
exactly like yeah she's a real one
like she's always come through
like she came through like for a
Neptune just did some records on her new project
coming out like it just dropped one with
her and a little baby.
This is, you, okay.
What I was about to say is, like, and she has always
come through, like, when I DJ, like, I do these
and friends sets, and, like,
at one music, it was the idea that Monica
came out on there. And it's just, like,
the way that people love Monica,
it's like, it's like the
two-pock level shit. I'm telling you, man,
she wanted to, I don't even know how to explain it, but that is real.
That's all I got. It's like. I'm talking about, when she
walked in the room, everybody loves her.
They started smiling.
and shit. Like, man, the whole shit
changed. Like, they started to call them
a moor and shit, but I'm like, oh, man, like
people love them on it.
For real, for real. And you can see her
she'd be everywhere, man. And she love him back.
Like, that's, that's what it is. It's like, the fact
that she genuinely gives love, that's what
comes back from that.
That's why she got to come up here.
She got to.
Well, look, man, don't let this be the last time
you come, bro. That's the first time.
Hold up. Wait a minute. Pause.
Don't let this be the last time you come
to the trap.
Shit.
Can't say shit no more.
Yeah, I don't know who got the craziest process.
I don't know who has the craziest process that I work with because everybody has their
own special shit.
Like Tip doesn't write, you know, but people do that.
But it's like to think.
think about when he's doing them other voices
and like this was you know
when he first started doing it this wasn't like the everyday
conversation that you don't write shit down
but
I don't know man I think everybody is
oh
what
what
huh
oh that's funny
like so we
okay one time with Courtney Seals in the house
what up why are you over there
you say nothing? Yeah
bear
mellow why don't you might go come on over here now
You might as well coming over in there, bro.
He's just chilling.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
So Bear managed Yellow Wolf.
We managed him together, and when we were toward the, what was this, radio active?
Oh, there it is.
So when we were working on Radioactive, we ended up working with M&M.
So I got to call you or him to get Yellow Wolf up here.
Yeah.
Hit him?
You told me to hit him because you know I don't got his number.
I got your name.
You know right, yeah.
All right, man.
You're going to need to get him up here.
He's parting from the strip club before they told.
They asked the elite down to come up here and fuck with me.
He's going to know who you're talking about because he used to be in there.
He's going to know.
At the Cameltoe contest and shit.
When he was on his Atlanta shit and he used to pull up,
remember it was me, him and Jackie Chain and shit,
and we were smoking one night and then.
Yellow Wolf had a lot of weed, and he kept rolling up.
And I was like, bro, why we smoking these big ass joints and shit?
And it was crazy.
Whatever.
It was a lot.
It was way.
He knows, though, just tell him.
So, watching this dude
with M&M, like, we would laugh about it, not laughing,
but just talking about the fact that he just sits on a treadmill
and runs and writes raps,
listening to a walkman.
It might be the L.L.L.C.C.W.J. Walkman.
What a nigga? What a little?
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, bro.
How the fuck do you run on the treadmill and write
reps at the same time.
But, like, running, though.
Like, not, like...
Full speed.
Nick, running.
Now, you're running.
Right.
At the same time.
No, you just see it.
Like, he's just saying.
He's just, like, listen to the beats.
And that's what he's, I guess, that was like...
That's some white dude-ass shit.
Because it's just reminded me of a white...
Do you remember the high school?
He was the one crazy-ass white boy used to run down the hall real fast.
Yeah.
Damn, Eminem.
Maybe he'd be trying to, like, make sure he's going to have enough
winning and the same.
Hey.
There you go.
Damn.
That's why he's going to fuck up none of that shit.
Cardio.
That might be the other.
Y'all can really just tell him he's better than most of the people.
He don't really have to do all that.
That's how you'd be better, though, right?
You take him like two hours to do one mind.
Like, he's a perfectionist.
He's a perfectionist, dude.
And this shit you won't hear, I won't hear it, but he hear it.
So, yeah, I mean, hey, bro.
that's some genius type shit
bro you got a little james and you stop recording your verses so fast
and do some cardio and do some cardio
yeah learn yeah
a lot of rappers don't know their lyrics
I hear it don't be that
I hear it I hear it's a thing
you've been to the concert you know the five would they be like
hey
yeah
I mean, they're doing so many goddamn songs, though, bro.
They do, like, how do you remember all them songs?
You wrote them?
The audition.
They're yours?
You should.
You should at least have a general idea.
At least a verse where you could be like, all right, cut that shit off.
Ooh.
Do the part you like.
You can't do your part?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, it's different.
Like, I mean, but they don't have to.
Like, listen.
they don't have to
like the amount of shit
you don't have to learn
to come out with a record
like I think that might be the only
like thing I wish that
there was just more
interest in learning
the craft
like just a little bit more like
because the longevity is just in it like you said
like you can get hot by just
doing some violent shit
but usually that shit's short
it happens just as quick as it blue
the shit gone
unless you actually put some time in and learn something
like learned a skill in it
like have some fundamentals.
Right.
But, you know, that's my old man
River shit for the day.
Hey, well, I dropped plenty of old man shit in here.
