For real You did And even 50 You feel what I'm saying Because he was like man You know I got you too So that situation

I was able to just You know walk through It was one of those situations where, you know, shit happened. Honestly, I didn't not know what the commotion was about at that time. Right. It was me and Banks backstage about to bring out a war for Snoop. And just the commotion popped out. You know, I don't know, man.

Somehow a forked just back to me out of nowhere. Right. You feel me? And, you know, I made it through that situation, man, blessed it. Like a real nigga, well, you got to do that. Because at some point, your real-nick instinct is going to kick in and be like, get to the motherfucker in a house. Hold on one second. Check the mic.

Send the lady. Check, check. Your big-ass chain has fucked the microphone up. Your big-ass chain. He got that big-ass chain. You got a big-ass chain. The big-ass chain. He had a, he got a, he got a big-ass chain.

He got it from on the street He got a big ass chain And on the camera you see He got a big ass chain You heard me bitch in right He got a big ass chain And nothing fucked up to Mike I had a chain on so big

That bitch was big as a crib I had some diamonds in that bitch It looked just like where your grandma live Yeah Saving up your money for a bigger chain Everything on my neck Don't stand a chain I'm trying to stay in my lane.

I should have wore a little chain. But you didn't. I brought a big-ass chain. He brought a big-ass chain. A big-chain like no other, and I remember that chain from all this album cover. He's got a big-ass chain. You ain't lying, my nigga.

I just figured I'm on 85 inside, my nigga. And I put up in this motherfuckling thing bang. I said, I'm going to wear my big-assie. Man, listen, that's something to me say. That's it, big-ass chain. Big-ass chain up. Fucking get talked about. Man, listen, you know what I mean?

We had ran into each other so many different places, man, literally in the mall, hotels, nigger, and all always, whenever I see him, me by itself, I'm by myself, and it's always, what's up, nigger? But I got a question, man. I've been wanting to ask you this, but every time I ran until we was moving, and I've been wondering

this for a long time. When you said, welcome to kids. Was you smoking a blunt or taking the shit, nigga? Because that was the strongest. Welcome to Cashville, motherfuckers. I was like, Nick, I'm never going there. Listen to how you saying that shit. Welcome to Cashville, motherfuckers.

And that beat drop in. That's one of the coldest songs, like, and that was the first song on the CD. You know what I mean? I come from a small town where organized crime is the rule. You kill niggas without permission. Niggas gonna kill you. We bang them rags too.

two red and blue That shit ain't only out there on the west side food That's it man that nigga That nigga says man nigga The South ain't safe no more So get a gun And pray to God that you make it

2C21 I was like okay I'm not going to That ain't what dolly potting That's talking about That's somewhere different Is the first nigga To make a pre-ass

Whopin' anthem This nigga had a song That came on Before the nigga start fighting I hate talking buddy About to get his ass thorn the fuck happened before that he was talking

that's a classic that's all the tape fucking record bro when you heard these niggas sitting their verses back did you even put together that they was talking about each other

no you know I'm shout out to both of them even to this day tip and looter but when I created that record at the time you know my first mind

of getting the feature was to stretch out the tip bro do you know that About 30 niggas jumped on that remix. Yeah, man. That's how you know you got one of them ones when everybody wants to be on that. Everybody on that one.

That beat was so hard. Man. Who was like, who was that? Because that was actually... Who wasn't that on that beat? DJ Paul. DJ Paul, man. And, uh...

Memphis, niggas. We actually got a whole tape. This dropping in, uh, right after back on my books with volume three that I got out now. Me and DJ Paul just, uh, wrapped up our tape is title, Unispectus. So it's one of them ones that got that same stump type of flavor. Yeah. You know, even creating that record, man, I had reached out the tip to put a verse on there.

And when he sent the verse back, it was really that bar that he had on there. You know what I'm saying? That made me be like, me getting beat down. That's ludicrous. Yeah. So I was letting different motherfuckers head and shit. And me and two chains is one. with each other and we was real close

at that time too I had let him hit a record and he was like yo bro you got to let Luda hit this shit and you know honestly I didn't even really have no idea that they was you know having what little issues or whatever at the time but when I let Luda here

you know what I'm saying he was just like fuck man shit bro I got to jump on this shit right here I'm like hell yeah you know what I'm saying And, you know, it was more or less when Luda heard it, he was, I think he heard more than just that bar where Tilt was kind of speaking and saying whatever he felt. But out of respect, I jumped back at Tilt first and was like, yo, man, listen, Luda heard the record. He wanted to jump on it. You ain't got no problem, Tilt was like, nah, shot it, man, let him, you know, go here and let him do his thing.

So, you know, the record came out. And I really respect that record to this very day because to me it was one of those records where, you know, you got two legendary artists, you know, going back and forth on one record, but it stayed on wax, stay hip-hopping. There was nothing that got out of hand and, you know, turned into any kind of real beef, I think.

Honestly, by the time I went to put the project, put that album out, Luda and TIP had, I think, reconciled whatever situations that they had, so the label wasn't really there for Tilt's verse still being on the record. So last minute I had to, you know, throw game on that. Game was like the newest edition of the G-U and he needed that look for a while.

I felt like, shit, game, I'm putting you on this motherfucker, you know, in regards of replacing Tilt, with it, but the record had already blowed up. So, like you said, there's so many different versions of it. You know, I heard another fucking version of it the other day, like, damn, nigga, I ain't know you was on here, too. Naga, it's everybody in those south jumped on that month. I remember, I seen the interview with Tip were talking about.

This one was still wearing his head's like this. He had the grill, and he was like, well, I laid my verse down first. And if I would have heard the verse that he laid, then I heard a different record. I'm like, ooh, nigga, he was in a cave with something. And then just the nigger And then just the niggie of me Was like, I wonder what he would have seen If he'd have heard that shit

Yeah But I salute to the fullest Because, you know, even when he Like I say, I stepped I had a stretch back out to him It was like, yo Luda want to jump on it And I'm sure Somewhere in the line he had to feel like

Ludo was going Throw some type of shot or say something And he could have easily You know, been a bitch-ass nigga He said, no man Take me off of it, but he laid the flow there for Luter to come and Luter

done what he'd done. And like I say, man, that's one of my favorite records that I've created. Just for that back story, that's like, that shit gonna live forever. You'll never, like, you probably never see two rappers like that, you know, that's, like you said, that's in the middle of a lyrical

disagreement. That most people didn't even know what's really going on until it's in. A lyrical job. That's a literal. I think we need more stuff in these generations. The only thing we didn't seem since that. But see, them niggas, like, they ain't never going to let that shit go. And that's the worst part about it.

They're cool. They ain't cool. They ain't cool. Niggas ain't cool. Tracking me? Niggas ain't cool. Niggas ain't cool. Those niggas is cool before they fill out.

Not a thing. Just because the niggas ain't into it, don't. We are all right. We ain't cool. I'm saying, these niggas can never be cool. Yeah, yeah. We get some money. But we ain't get into that shit.

They don't that shit slide no more. We ain't finished. just fun to be buddy button type shit is just for the I guess for the check for the business and not even a check

I guess I don't know about the nigger situation to be honest with you but you know I just think hip hop need more of those type of

competitors that competitors you know a lot of people we have in different situations and having you know

different problems with each other as rappers and shit and you know a lot of it resorts into You know, how many diamonds your motherfucker can buy more than you or whatever accolades come along with how many records of.

Now, how many streams a motherfucker got versus anything. I wouldn't even play that shit no more. Niggins didn't hit a billion. Big fit. If you're behind any, niggas, you lost that one. But I think from what you just said, my question to you is the game bred for that anymore. Because I think a lot of that probably was lost in the way. of people seeing what happened with guys that was really active

and going to get active when they got to the point where you ran into each other and a lot of people probably ain't built for that no more. So do you think that the game is bred for competitive energy? You know, honestly, man, I would just, I would say this generation right now has kind of steered itself into having to feel like they have to match some of the shit that they say in the records.

and, you know, even rap in itself It's just a competitive game And it's like, it reminds me of a boxing match, really Because everybody fighting to be number one No matter what, everybody chasing to be, you know, the biggest, the biggest that they can be with it. I just feel like this generation right here That we're dealing with,

Forrest and youngsters that you see winning And some of the issues that they have It's resorted into hands-on violence, but it was no different in the same way when we was there. I think it's room for it. I think it's room for it, but it would have to be the conflict of two artists both looking to go down that route versus then the route that we used to be with what we're seeing playing out right now.

And that's motherfuckers getting killed, man. You know, motherfucker's, have differences, and you see a motherfucker and, you know. it's about you know who gonna catch your body type of thing now so if we take the bodies to the to the bars

you understand what I'm saying even with G unit and the beginning of at least my time amongst being with G unit it was based on real life the issues that was going on with real life issues involved with say a 50 or whatever

so you know when we had those vests and shit like that on It was for real It wasn't, you know, for the camera It was really Niggas trying to protect their life At any moment she can go down Yeah, you know what I'm saying

And you put that on record Faults bulldog small enough To fit in the nigger boots So it's whatever whenever, whatever you want to do I'm like, okay, these niggas But I saw a clip On the internet of Yartu Talking to Big You

And salute to him And he was telling the story You know, I mean I don't know If you want to get into the actual story or what happened, but just seeing that you were willing to be as active as you were, my question to you is, as an artist,

do you feel like that's something that's necessary in the game now as it was back then to be somebody that was really willing to go and show that these words that I'm speaking are legit? You know, it depends on the situation in the individuals that you're dealing with.

In my situation, I would say, you know, yeah, because I've always been involved in real life issues around the music so it wasn't like I felt like I could resort to just allowing certain shit to go down and you can put in certain situations where it's not just about your life but it's about everybody's life that you will

you understand and if it's any man or anybody in my eyes if you feel like your life is being threatened you're gonna do whatever it takes to to make sure you know you maintain that life you know of yours I love living

you know so I just I've been putting in situations where you know I feel like my life is threatened I'm gonna do whatever I gotta do to survive where I gotta make it home to my kids home period and um like I say a lot of this shit is just based

on the energy of the individuals that you have your issues with. Speaking of issues, bro, tell me when you start teaching drama boy how to make them beats

and shit. Nah, he's talking to make no beat straight up and down. This nigga won't even teach me how to make

the fucking beat right there. I'll be watching no more, Nick, I cook this shit right up in front of you

god damn and you see facts. Niggas see the recipe. Right. Well, shit, let's from start

to finish book. How you get in the game, bro? You got a lot you got a long history, bro. People think it

just A lot of the younger generation don't think it just started with the unit. But, nigga, you was putting shit down before that, even. Fakes. I was one of the ones where, you know, I came in the game the first individuals

that I was basically around was cash money. How old were you when you got it? I was around 14 years old, man, 14, 15. But Wayne didn't even have a dress. The niggins still had the baby fro like yours. Oh, word. It wasn't like mine.

It wasn't like mine. I'm the only nigger with one like mine that took in this time. I'm the only young nigga with this. I ain't nobody else got this. Me and Maurice White. That's it. Real facts, though, but, you know, they had came to my city. We was always big fans of that music.

As far as me and my circle, the niggas of that, I came up with. One of my partners had picked up a CD. I think it was Chopper City in the ghetto. It was like what. Probably one. Bad, so class. The orange, like big-ass bullets was goddamn falling out of the sky and shit. And homie now, you know, they had that wave throughout the South, you feel me?

Yeah. We was just fans picked up the CD one day, and my partner had caught. I was a youngster, you know, in the backseat. My other partners and shit, you know, they was kind of the ones who rotated my city and shit like that. So they was jokingly, you know, man, I'm on the back of this motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? And called the number. It's like, man, what child niggas want to come down here to the field?

And whatever it was, it was pennies and shit. Niggas was like, what? Y'all needs to come in tomorrow. And they didn't come, but it ended up being like a week or two later. Niggas called themselves trying to put a show together and shit. A bunch of doughboy niggins don't know nothing about the game. But, you know, get a venue, got them niggas to come to the city. And when they touched down, baby was.

really fucked up or how young we was and really active. Really active like that. So I think that really was the motivation for him to you know

build a bond at the time with my surroundings and they end up booking the studio my brother from another mother lit Jimmy had got in touch with me somehow. Niggas didn't have no cell phone but he

got in touch with somebody to pick me up and bring me over to the studio, walked in the studio. First, my scene was juvenile. I'm like, damn, that that nigga go right there. You feel what I'm saying? And went on the end, and it was BG, juvenile, Turk, Wayne. And then the nigga, baby, walked up to me as a youngster. First word to this very day, I never forget it.

He said, spit something, little one. And like I say, man, I was already in the streets full flesh just trying to find a, a fucking way but music was always my thing from day one so when the nigga told me to spit my head fucking do you remember what you spit

I don't I couldn't even I couldn't even tell you that shit to this day that's a dope shit it wasn't one thing because what happened was when I spit he immediately told LeWain hey come in there spit something

so me and LeWang battled it out and I tell niggas I didn't win what I won nigga you did because, you know, walking from that situation the next day I was getting a call from my partner saying, yo, baby, won't want us to come to New Orleans with him.

You want to give you a situation. So my life started basically from Cajville to New Orleans at that moment. I left, I was supposed to be in school, you know what I'm saying, around that time? With school, never was my thing. Never? It never was.

Never. Not even in, like, first grade. I believe his name. School was never my thing. First grade. First grade. First grade, I didn't, on my mommy. Even in first grade, I ain't really fucked with school, man. I mean, you know, it just was one of them things. Like, my childhood was for real coming up on some, you know, I come from a single parent background,

and it was about really trying to keep the fucking lights and water on in real life. You know, you know, they're right. Happers come through and be having them. Everybody got a struggle story. But my struggle in my life, it kind of is there for like, niggins know what I come from throughout my city. I come from nothing.

You did? So I really, that's what forced me in the streets at a young age, just trying to kind of help my moms get out of the situation that I was brought up in. Yeah. It was about hustling. I was one of the niggas of you to cut every nigga in the neighborhood grass, the trash and shit, pumping gas until it, before a nigga ever picked up a peck trying

to do anything with it. I just was one of them ones just trying to make a dollar to be able to provide. But again, man, it was, my journey started with cash money. Times where a baby would drop Wayne and Turk off at school, and I ride around with him, you know, doing our thing, just trying to make shit happen. I come from real solid circle of individuals and shit, so. You know, even in Juvenile's home video, the yellow Ferrari and things like that, those were our vehicles. We poured them vehicles there to...

Nick, you had a yellow Ferrari if he was 14? No, nigga, it was in the circle, though, so you might as well say... Basically, yeah, you did. No wonder you ain't fucked with school. Bitch, I got a Ferrari house. No, you don't. Yes, I did. But yeah, it was in the circle, so, you know, shit like that.

Like I say, man, we really, really... come from the streets and all that good shit and from there the difference is I can give you all of the different stories in regards of coming up

with cash money but I can't play you no music that where I was actually what I was there for you know my my situation was based on me coming to cash money

to do a deal and it turned out to being in my mind where I was kind of like pushed to the back not because baby didn't want to

get to me or whatever. It's just that they shit. They blew up. They blew up so fast. So, you know, he had to focus on what was working versus trying to break a brand new artist. But I never was a tag alone, niggas, so it forced me to have to go back and make a decision with themselves.

Am I going to you know, I'm 18, 19 years old now. You know, these niggas, all I wanted was an opportunity to be heard. Let the world, let the streets be the judge. me. Right. And it was just, I had records, but none of them was actually getting pushed to the world or none of that shit. So I made a decision to come back home to cash real and start my own

independent push. You dig what I'm saying? I felt like I had built the name for my, from my city by just being amongst them. You know what I'm saying? So, shit, man, when put me a little CD together back then, I think it cost $300 to press up a thousand CD. Damn, that was a good deal. Yeah, I'm sending $10 apiece. You do the mail. I slowed down from doing whatever I was doing just because I read my,

the music started really paying me. I love the hustle. Yeah. The hands-on money was really being more, started making more sense to me because I put my life on the line for less, lesser. So that's where the hustle came in and just starting to understand the whole independent game.

and, you know, really pushing myself to get to where I'm at. And like I say, that led back to me coming with cash money, but it didn't work out. And I actually was with juvenile when I ran into 50 and started my situation with G, you did, what I'm saying?

Burr, how crazy was that to be the only dude from the South in the group with some dudes from New York? That shit was, It's crazy experience Just to be honest with you It was one of those things Where I felt like

Never felt like I had nothing to prove But I always felt like I got to hold my own And I'm not just doing it for me But I'm doing it for the South You get what I'm saying What I come from And, you know It was almost like this

Competitiveness That we have created Amongst each other You understand And everybody Wanted to kind of outdo each other but in a good way

on the records so you know in that era in that time the energy was in a different place of music in itself let me ask you this

like you were coming up in a time where the perception was dudes from the South weren't lyrical or killing the rap and you really had to face that as like an uphill

like an obstacle in the game as a rapper from the South that was the number one criticism that they tried to throw and like you always been a lyrical dude who went out the way to say some shit like do you still feel like they're sleeping on the South

lyricism at that time up until now or what? I think a lot of the I think a lot of the youngsters now has adapted a lot of other things than just the lyricism from the South.

You know, we dress We dressed the way we dress. You know what I'm saying? We shined the way we shine. For me, in that time, it wasn't about other things that now put you in front of this camera and you can kind of blow up other than actually being able to have bars. You did what I'm saying? And I felt like it was a point of time where we didn't get that burn, that play from the East Coast that we really deserve.

as artists. Pimsy used to be very, very outspoken on that situation. Country rap tune. Yeah, big facts. Rest in peace of pimp, he's one of the first ones that I met as well as a youngster trying to get my ass on. Niggia, your childhood was better than you. The nigga had a Lamborghini, Matt Pempsie, grew up. So I'm 15, jump off the bus with cash money.

Pimsy pumping gas. Yeah, what the fuck you doing on that tour bus, my life? He's out here fucking with the rap game, man. It's crazy because, rest of peace to my partner, the biz, man, he's no longer living. He took me to Pimp C House. And I was, honestly, it's crazy you say that because I was on 15 and 16 years old.

And he brought me to Pimp, you know, even while I was still amongst cash money. But we were still kind of moving around and just, you know, filling this rap shit out, period. And when he brought me to Pimp, Pimp said something to me that stuck with me and still stick with me through my whole life and career. And then, Pimp said,

I can't ask no nigga to starve, Bees. And that right there was one of the realest things. At the time, I was kind of like, what do you mean? He can't ask me to starve. And then he told me, you know what I mean? He was like, you're dope. You're going to get the way you got to go.

I just would be asking you to starve, Because we're dealing with our own situation right now. At the time, they was going to do shit with jive and shit. You know what I'm saying? So that led me to, you know what I'm saying, respecting him enough to know that he didn't take advantage of me being young and naive to the game and just run me down the loop. He gave me real game.

Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the movie pass era, where you can, to watch all the movies he wanted for just $9. It made zero cents and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines. Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of Movie Pass the company that he founded.

His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.

The motherfucker's selling you dreams, and I was negative them bought some of them sold dreams, too. That's what I was about to ask you next crazy. I was unable to put me out.

I'd have been the bathroom with that nigger furrow. Man, let the little nick come to my house. He's in the bad room. My goddamn furrow in the mirror of mine. Who what? What was it about you as a youngster that made these old hustling-ass gangstass niggas take you everywhere and let you be a grown-ass-nigger amongst all these goddamn hustlers? Big facts.

I mean, shit, I was one of them, too. You did what I'm saying? And shit, I ain't looked like I was young. I used to put it this way, man. I look like a grown man. I look like a grown-d-ass man. Full being. Yeah, he's 12, but just me.

You don't want to smoke As young nigga, trust me But I can rap You know, man You know, coming from these streets And shit like that It's just Nika seen something in me

And that's what Got me to really where I met now It's the hustlers It's the older guys that seem more Than just me being in the streets You know what I'm saying? Even though I was in the streets, I still had

these older guys that was in the streets a little bit harder than me that didn't want me to be there. They didn't want me to go down there route. And they knew and felt that I knew how to rap so whatever connections or whoever they know they was just trying to give me something different and the shit ended up paying off to what it is now, you know?

So at what moment, going through all of that that you just went through, at what moment did you feel like I'm here, I finally got here, I did it? Oh, man. When I, when I, when, when 50 gave me my opportunity of being amongst your unit, you know, the first time I honestly, truly felt it was when I had got that call from Shaw Money at that time and he was like, yo, 50 want to put the, the, um, bloodhound record on this, on this get rich a doctor. trying the album. That was a record I already had. You understand what I'm saying? 50 basically got that record.

Kept my verse on it. You know what I mean? And put him a couple verses and shit on the record. Sung the hook that was already there and put me on the album. But when Shai Money was like, yo, nigga,

M loves the record and he mentioned it. I said, who? Right. That nigga was like, M loves the record. I'm actually mixed bloodhound. And that moment right there, like I say, M was the fucking, like he is now,

you know, one of the gigantics into this shit. And I knew then that, yeah, I'm going to go, I'm trying to make the best out of it. I think the icing on the cake out of all of that shit was when we, when I got that plane ticket to come to Earth. LA and record you know

and I happen to be in a studio recording in LA first time that me in 50 now had basically got in the studio to record we started immediately on the G unit project and one of the first songs we created was

G'd up and that track was produced by Dr. Drey so it was like I was in the booth doing my shit and I was you know thinking some shit to say and then I heard my fucker was like

yo said like this and I was one of them niggas like nigger don't tell me how to say nothing like I'm saying that I'm laughing I was nine nigg I'll be there who's what I said

school who was that you hear what I'm saying but when I looked up at that nigga Dr. Dre was leaned over the big ass board looking at a nigga director I'm

Shit, man, how you want me to say it, nigga? I'm talking about what you say. How you want me to say it, bro? But yeah, bro, to actually be in that circle of with Dre and M, you know, it's just shit that I cherish to this very day. Like, you know, that was that I've arrived feeling. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

It is what it is. When you started recording, you know what I mean, welcome to Cashville. Like, and that, you know, I'm not just saying that's you here. That's personally my favorite solo record of all of the G-U. It's like it was you and Lloyd Banks, but then, you know what I mean? As I listen to it now, I identify more with that record. You know what I mean? So when you started to record that, was that your first time ever going in and saying I'm recording a record that's mine?

Thanks. It's crazy because my process of making that record was different than what was going on through G-Unit at that time. You know, going off into my solo, I had already seen the processes of how 50 created the Get Richard D. Tran to beg for mercy. And then here comes the solo pause. and I just said I'm going to do something that everybody else wasn't doing so I told shot to start giving me my music

on a CD without me knowing who the producers was I want to pick the music for the music instead of actually picking the producers from the name you know what I'm saying like and that right there was one of the methods that you know what I'm saying I still kind of follow today of course

we ain't got CDs but what I was about to say what I got from that though was the fact of when I created straight out of Cajville I had no idea who the actual producers was of the record

so once I made you know when I'm getting to the end of this tape I started going and seeing who produced this who produced that and and things like that. You realize I just created a whole project with pretty much guys that didn't have a big name.

You understand? So I put a lot and gave a lot of producers that was trying to be heard a shot by just having that method as well as kept my goddamn budget low. You feel what I'm saying? And created one of the most low, low budgeted records

that was done in G-unit period in the sense I was able to recoup off for that whole album in the first two weeks you did what I'm saying straight up you got I'm about to say

speaking of our producers speaking of producers speaking of producers we got one of the coldest producers nigger you know what I mean I mean some of the best beats

that you ever going to hear like and me who you Oh, just drop a few. For those you don't know, give a couple of the world. They're standing that. You think motherfuckers be knowing, but they don't be knowing until you tell them.

So he was like, man, come on, man, play something. I mean, I end up playing five beats. End up with three beats on Tila album. So because my brother getting $2,500 a beat,

We had the Tennessee Titans, blah, blah, blah, you know what I mean? And my, I put Godi, gangster boo, criminal man, Tila.

Bro, I want your haystack. Criminal man. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm all on one track, bro. Hey, stack one of the most slept on rappers in the whole. Side. Oh, sorry. Come on, man.

You don't come with that niggins. That Tennessee connection, you know what I mean, like, you coming from Nashville or you coming from Memphis, like, y'all at Tennessee got a strong culture, man. Even to this day, some of the hottest young niggins, who know what I mean, out of Memphis, you know what I mean? He sent me my urs, my ass 70, I woke up with 70 and my urge. And you know what it's like, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm going to be. I'm going to be all the way silent with y'all, like, I give a lot of credit when it comes to, because, I'm from Casville, Nashville, and he's from Memphis.

We're three hours away. Right. And it's always, and it used to be in probably here and there, where there was this separation between the two cities. Okay, we didn't really just get along like that. It was one of those things I think was bred it from the penitentiary. It's everywhere. It's the same way everywhere you go.

It's like D.C. and Baltimore, niggas. We call it a niggis country type shit. You did we all country But You know One of the records that really broke the mold And And kind of bringing

Us together Was the state fly record That me A ball and MJG Juicy J DJ Paul did That's why That record was bigger

Than what people know Because it was the first time Where we had You know Somebody from my From last From Nashville and Memphis together. Yeah, you came right.

I'm going to be in a nigger, too. You're like, them niggins just might let me smoke for free. I don't know why. They can plug all the way in all right. Then we've been waiting on ball and G and three since Marley to get together. Right, you know what I'm saying? Because Memphis, the city, they love and hate, quote-unquote, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, I always try to bring that unification in.

You know what I mean? Let me mix this shit up. Let me bring. Like, you see what Atlanta doing? Like, you know what I just, I always look at Atlanta, like, damn, they got this shit down, pack how they blend and merge and make this shit everybody eat. You know what I mean?

So I just implemented that, even with Welcome to my city, coming out with, came, came up with Dolf. I mean, came up with Goddy, but still introducing Dolf. Right. You know what I'm saying? And just, mine, it's crazy. Working with Jesus, working with Gucci. I first heard that.

Man, you know, you're at 8 plus. Hold up, bro. I heard Buck. online telling the crazy story about how DJ Paul sent Project Pat to pick you up, man? Big fear. Dang.

That's the name. Bro, I think you're going to get to these. We got a lot of shit to bring that. Welcome back to the 85 South Shore. Look, yeah. I don't know where you're in life, but right now we're talking some real motherfucking pimp shit,

rap shit. Tennessee Titans over here. And that's when we got up in the building with us. We got young bucks. drop ball yeah man and we really just running it down

but I gotta hear this story in person man you said DJ Paul said Project Pat to pick you up yeah man

from where the private yeah that's all the person we're in the project Pat hey Project

Patrick Pat right quick which one you know I got you it but you know it's crazy

as big a day he was riding with that nigga, name was Lou Buck. And then he was a little nigga, his name was Little Buck. And it's crazy about how that situation happened because I was actually with Baby when I

met DJ Paul. I was on a, I think we was on some type of tour at the time and we was coming through Memphis and Baby was like, yo, nigga, this is what I got coming. You did what I'm saying? And Buck come and spit something

for these nigg. And I ended up spitting and Paul was like Nicky you're from you're from Tennessee I'm like yeah now I'm from Cairnsville I was a youngster so you know when my situation

like I say I was kind of moving around one day I had got a call because I had kept in touch with Paul and he was like man I'm I need you on this record and I'm like what? He was like

man, I'm, Pat from to come pick you up. And that's like three and a half hours away. I'm like, he's like, where you want me to tell him to come? I said, tell that nigga to meet me at the Burger King Park allowed across from Joe Johnson. And hell, yeah, he poured up in a black navigator, man. Pat was, of course, big as fuck at that time. And it was like, man, I rode back to fucking Memphis with this nigga. And like I say, it was one of the dopest experiences as a youngster that I had.

You're a man to ride back with Project Pack. Hell, no, niggins see some shit. Because he probably fresh down at him. All the truth. There's no license in the car. Don't know who's a sudden in the back. But if you look in the car so you know, I've got to strap. You're like, you know what?

Put on the man. I'm going to get behind him, man. No one smashing out. Throwing a little boy out the window. I don't know who asked him out. You're not a little boy driving because I'm shooting out the window, bro. I don't know who I didn't hit, but I didn't know what killed the hole. Then at the end is always, then we made it safely with the project in the back.

Hey, one thing is you going to happen in the president? He's going to make it back safely to the stand spot, the chapter of the loop. That's the best thing you like about rappers, bro, when they tell stories. Them of your favorite rappers, when you listen to this shit, pay attention to that shit. I guarantee your favorite rapper, he'll tell you a story. But I end up dropping a record from that, though. He came and got me out. A lot of people don't know.

I was on the hypnotized posse song. He was like 20 niggas on the goddamn song. But he, Paul heard something from when he had heard me rap from him, end up giving the opportunity since the nigger Pat to pick me up. And we've been locked in ever since, bro, to be solid with you. He did. He's one of them ones that's always to have my back like drummer, you know, through my ups and downs and shit like that, bro,

and all these different things I haven't been through in the game. You know, them two are the ones that Sawways gave me that motivation. Like, you got to keep going, you know what I mean? You got to keep doing this shit. He's making history right now, bro. He just, he got records with Gucci and Jesus. And that, out of all the versus battles that didn't happen, I feel like that one was the most impactful.

Prolific, yeah. You feel what I'm saying? It finally got so icy. To see it performed. I never thought that was. to happen for real. Now, being as though, you, both of y'all, for that matter,

you didn't got so much rich history with so many artists. Was there any point where you realized you were one of the people that you grew up being around for an artist? Like, did you ever had that moment when somebody came and saw you and was like, oh shit, young buck, and you ended up helping them and giving them the same game

that a lot of these guys and gave you? Big facts, man. I've watched this shit happen. You know, with me and numerous artists, man, And I love seeing little 42 Doug do his thing. Me and his father, you know, come up in the streets together. And, you know, I remember 42 just being really in the streets and really, really trying to find a way.

You know what I'm saying? And I never could present no kind of opportunity to him for me being and going through my own thing. But I watched them and I would tell him, you know, you got this shit, you're going to do your shit. You know what I mean? just stay down, just keep pushing, and to watch him, you know, walking to get his situation with, with Godhead.

Even with Young Dolphin, his producer, bandplay, I gave him, you know, his push to the game in a sense by just giving him that opportunity to rap on his tracks. You know, I was going through so many different situations where he was a youngster that was like almost understood the fact you know I scratch your back you scratch mine so it was like I'm rapping on your music and I used to always tell them you know if opportunity to resist itself take advantage of it I'm trying to get myself through these contract issues and things like that and now he's

producing you know multiple hits for young dog you know what I'm saying so I mean I can go on for days bro it's just like I've always been one of them ones that's never been stingy with giving the knowledge. I don't call it game because games is meant to be played. I give them a motherfucker true honest knowledge of what I've learned

and try to give a person an honest opinion. You understand to whatever they looking to do whether it's something that I like or don't. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You know, I just try to keep it as solid as possible,

you know, with these dudes because of and keep it where, you know, some of the same people you see going up, man, you don't do this shit right. You'll see them same people

on your way down. So I try to not burn no bridges and shit with niggies and shit and keep it silent. But the way this game is kind of built, you know,

you have a lot of times, a lot of people get in positions of power and they tend to either forget or don't acknowledge what got them. there. So I just try to stay

as humble and just stay as focused as possible. And that's what I would encourage a lot of these dudes that come from nothing to something. Getting positions of power, you know, just, you know, take your blessing.

For what it really is, it's a blessing. You know, to go from point A to point B or finally get the way you're trying to go. But just don't take it for granted. Yeah, hell yeah We see that shit

Wait a lot of time These dudes take this shit for granted You know Through all the downs That you went through You were just speaking on that What kept the game From souring for you

You know I mean Like because through all that you Didn't been through That the public And seeing you go through Let alone what you didn't Been through that you ain't And don't nobody know about

What kept you Steely Fuck that shit Yeah You know what I'm saying It's my motivation I got a good solid brothers like drummer you know what I'm saying individuals like you know this did know who I really am

outside of some of the shit to get pushed in the public or have been pushed in the public and I find myself at one point of time trying to fight public opinion with a lot of bullshit and had to just realize I'm never going to win that battle so I'm type of nigger well with a lot of this shit you know I've never had nothing to prove what you see is what you get who I really am is who I really am but I've been in front of a lot of shit that's been tangled and twisted and I try to be the one to untwisted shit because I stand for

something and I realize man I can't it's never going to work that way so honestly letting go and let God in my situation has got me you know where I'm at outside of just having damn good music quality street music consistently you know It's always, I've always felt like I haven't got my just due. You know, I haven't truly felt like I've got my just due as a solo artist. I've been blessed to have a platinum album. You understand what I'm saying. And, you know, platinum albums by being amongst a group.

But me as an artist, I still got so much more to offer. I always look to rapper is almost a stepping stone to get off in the shit that I like to do or want to do movies and different things like that so it's just so much more

in the game that I got to give You need a cookbook man Straight up Audio cookbook All right You read it as a fucking young book Two motherfucking eggs

With your hard-haired egg Put the butter in the skillet You don't listen to shit nobody too Let me produce it I got to Speaking on what you just said

About public perception Rest and peace of nip I heard a nip quote Where he said Would you You know He read something And said

Would you rather be at war With yourself And at peace with the world Or at peace with yourself And at war with the world Big fact So you know what I mean I think that's something

That you know People need to listen to Because from somebody like you Who went through so much bullshit publicly You know what I mean You pick whichever situation You want to say

You know I mean You know who you are and being content in that is something that you need to fight because now public perception is different than it's ever been when you first got in the game niggas said something about you

it might take you a couple days or weeks for you to even hear what a motherfucker's said now every time you pick up your phone and it's right there in front of you you know what I mean or read or somebody with the same bullshit

I mean like I say man I know who I am and I also know I'm not perfect but I've learned that I put myself in certain positions to have to deal with a lot of bullshit. So I've just learned how to kind of channel and figure out on correcting my wrongs versus trying to figure out how to correct y'all.

See, you dig what I'm saying, or whoever feel, you know, it's any kind of wrongs. I'd rather focus on self and see what the fuck I did or what I'm doing wrong. People are going to say and do whatever the fuck they want to, period. Everybody ain't meant to like you. So I don't want to be liked by all you motherfuckers anyway. The hate, I need some of the hate. The hate is like shoot of my fire anyway. So I just learned to, like I say,

focus on doing what I got to fucking do and turn a lot of the negative make it work for myself. You know what I'm saying? Because a lot of times I've realized, you know, it's a problem when they're not talking. about you. You know, one of the things that I will say that

this project that me and drummer boy got out right now back on my Buckship Volume 3 it's a little bit more than just a solid project. We, you know, charted at number 6. You did what I'm saying through our iTunes and the Steadymore

rising and gone and all of that good stuff. But one thing drummer told me about this tape in regards to all of the bullshit that like you said i've had to you know endure and go through he said buck man you know this kind of more than just just the fucking solid-ass tape we're showing niggins brotherhood you know you're bringing that brotherhood back to things you know what i'm saying because you know when it's really your brother you dig what i'm saying whether he's up or down bro

you're supposed to be your brother exactly what i'm saying And that's one of the things that stick to me in regards to what you're getting when you get me in drummer boy. You know what I'm saying, together. It's not just about him being a dope-ass producer, me being a dope-ass rapper. It's just more to it when you got real-life shit that come along with me and shit like that that you get me from this latest project that we just dropped. Trauma boy, what was your process putting this, putting it together? I just got the phone call, like, you know what I mean? Like, what's you doing, nigga?

Like, you said, a nigga cooking heat, you know what I mean? So if a nigga just randomly called you, you'll just be making, brother shit. Yeah, like, you know what I mean? Like, even, even where. They ain't just over here making some of the best shit. If the phone ring, like, you know, I ain't even, anytime 6-1-5, call me, ain't too many people call me from 615, to be honest with you.

I started a goodwill chapter. We had the bike buyback program. We were buying back bikes from choosing in the community. community so they'll have a sense of self-worth to know what I was like to sell something for cash

my grandfather was a principal by bike so it was like a lot of shit that I learned from him on like just how to be therapeutic and help people figure out what the fuck

they got going on what because you know what I'm saying sometimes it can be a lot of shit going on hell yeah not just a producer in music you're producing life it takes something to produce that to be able to, you know what I mean? Real life to do. Like, first thing I'm going to do is listen to your music.

You ever have a gangstead and they're like, hey, bro, can you put some little horns in there?

in. He calling the shit out of me. Bro, what we're going to do with this beat? What we're going to do with this beat? I had sold the original beat to stand in an ovation six months prior. You know what I'm saying? So I got down, took one version. I stay in Stone Mountain. I'm driving the patchwork. You know what I mean? A little 40, 30-minute drive.

Pull up with the first. verse. I got to redo the beat. He said, you got to come get the aqua pro. So I redo the shit, go back. He ain't fuck with the first verse. You know what I'm saying? So I got to drive back to Stone Mountain, redo another beat, pull up with the second verse. That ain't it. That's close. So on the way back, then I listened to the whole trap by mixtape. And I noticed it in every goddamn beat he had horns in that motherfucker. So I was like, I bet that's the first sound that I goddamn did. And I came with the horns, put the claps in their motherfuckers.

That shit sounded good with the, hey. Jesus, I know you're the snowman. You're going to have to get gas, man. I came back. I came back to pass work. It was about six in the morning. Leslie wrapping up the last meet. Coach Kay in there.

You know what I'm saying? And, bro, that was literally the first time I heard Jesus say, ha, ha. Before the athlete of ever even came out. I swear to God, you know what I'm saying? And that was my first platinum plaque. Amen, that's a little. Bro, the lesson in that motherfucking story is so deep.

I told you, this nigga made Netflix. I do, man. Like, even like I was saying, I process, bro, I'll have something going on in my head, and I just then learned that, you know, whatever it is that I'm hearing, drummer what you hit at this beat. And he'll give you.

a fucking melody or something that you just wasn't it just wasn't it. So I'd be like, damn, you know, what if I put this with what I'm already thinking too? You see what I'm saying? And that's how a lot of it get created.

I just like to hear his input outside of just making the beat because, you know, a motherfucker would be having these different melodies and shit as producers and shit going through their heads. And sometimes the melodies be totally different from where I'm going at, and I've been able to implement a lot of it into what I'm doing, too.

That's what the whole collaboration part come in there is like, that's, like you said, you're good at what you're doing. He's great, you know, y'all both great in your own meetings, but it's like, when y'all coming together, that's where the creativity flows. It ain't just similar to beat, I rap on the bitch, and now we got a song. It's like, you got to collaborate. It's like, nigga, what you feel like. Oh, niggum need them do?

Hold on. And that's literally what we do, you know, that's what we've been doing from. the gate. Like, man, when we came in the game, like, it was, you know, a lot of people hadn't seen two people do the shit that we've done, you know what I'm saying? And then doing this with three of us, you know what I'm saying? And being on stage, it's never rehearsed. It's just, we get on stage and we just... And collaborate. And collaborate. And putting them, you know what I'm saying? It's crazy. Like, like, like you said, melody is something. I love, I love melody, man. That's one of my big thing. I'm a music connoisseur,

but melody is something that's major like and that's sure they want to ride with me that type of shit you know i mean and that's why like like for example young thug is one of my favorite artists just because that nigg is incredible my nigga just because of the sounds and it's like what the f that nigga's dope you know what i mean to be able to do that it's like and then to do that on your own is one but to be able to collaborate with somebody else who has a whole other pocket of whatever they're thinking about and you be able to bring it together that's when you make some dope shit man Put them wings on that bitch Man, man, you fly away You know what I mean With some hawks in them all for real So like You look

After this project Now that you didn't done that Do you still have the desire to Like you said you feel like you ain't got your just dude Do you still want that That superstardom Yeah man This shit

You know my fire has never burnt out You know it might have went low But it's never burnt the fuck out This shit me up to the point where I feel better. I feel like I'm grown even better than I was even in my G-Uity years.

You did what I'm saying, which was my younger years. I don't see no fucking retiring in all that shit for me no time soon. Don't retire. Fuck that. They always want the rappers to retire niggins. Mick Jagger, 97 years

old. I still don't say come on everybody. This shit boy. Hey, man. I said I'm doing it like that. I still hear. Everybody, but you're happy to the air, I put your teeth it out. You didn't remember this song because I can't fucking remember it.

You did? We don't only not hate that about it. If you remember the words, sing them, I play the song. You know what I mean? I hate that about hip-pop. We are only as big as the genre is. It's more grown niggas than young niggas. Yeah, and it's like, as big as the genre is,

it's like, it's always like, all that nigger old. He washed that white. But any other genre of music, of music, you see the country artists and motherfuck be performing for 50 years you know what I mean, and selling out crowds and it's still, it's space for that

for hip-hop because we create the music that creates the climate of the world. So it's like we, but I think we do it to ourselves as connoisseurs where we just automatically say, oh, young buck, oh, that nigger, well, where G-Unit, that shit ain't cool no more. Yes, it is.

Motherfucker, take a listen. You know what I mean? It's still something there that you can gain from Right, because every job site in the world got at least one nigga who still wear a G-Unit genius. It's a nigga who got up this morning and wore some G-U and jeans. Oh, it's a nigga right now. One of them tank top's on right now. He took it off for some bitches. The tank top was a motherfucker.

Real. Liking, he's the money. Plipping holes in style. Come on, man. Ain't that what y'all do, man? We grew up on that, man. Same, man. The first Memphis song I ever loved in my life

was the original looking for the chewing. Oh, yeah. Looking for the chewing. I'm still, I'm always looking for the chewing. And that's what I be doing. Come on, bro. Oh, man, for that ass.

Titt is the original. Skinny, nigga. It's in the house. That's that shit. Yeah, that's why I, that's why you say talking with a gay and live. North Memphis. Sucker's down barrier.

It's certain niggas that we're just going to talk to like, you guys have to charge it. Like Project Pat, like this D's nigga, I met Pat in the airport. Man, this nigga talked for 45 minutes standing at the luggage droid. They got both our bags just spinning around. But you had Pat, but, hey man,

did that shit really happen that hot summer's night when you was kicking in with poncho, nigga? Like, it's just those records really impacted. I'm gonna fuck him up, though. Wait till you listen to Tom's ski mass. Oh, come on.

This is the funniest shit. Floppy's going cold. Fuggy Town mega blunts. I got to smoke. That's the old shit. But see, I think that that's one thing I don't think to South get the credit for, the influence that it's always had on the sound. Big fake.

Always. Even back there, you can get it now. Even when, I mean, now, yeah, it took over everything. Like, that's why, you know, people like Jay-Z, I, you know, I respect Jigga because he was one of them dudes that was the New York dudes. They had it, you know, him, Noriega, all them dudes that was fucking with Southern. Norrie always been on Southern, like, he always did features with Southern rappers. That's why I think that nigga don't even realize how big his fan base is in the South.

The South has been running shit now for 20 years. Yeah, it's close. I know Norrie for a long time as well. I made no way back when I was with juvenile on to come up trying to make it, you know what I mean? Man, you gotta write a book, Buck. Right for real, man, I know. Young Buck's book.

Documentary. I started, I started writing a book in the penitentiary. You know what I'm saying? I had, I want to capture my experience by being a celebrity behind the walls. That's the actual name of it. You know, I end up going to the federal penitentiary. I bet you woke the mainline, didn't you?

You better know. Yes, sir. There's no other way for me. Like I say, my experience of prison was a little bit different because I did it backwards, you know. When I was really in the streets doing a lot, you know what I mean? I was blessed to make it through. But then once I became a fucking full-fledged celebrity, I find myself waking up in the fucking penitenti. You did what I'm saying?

So the experience that I had from prison was a little bit different because everybody knows who you all. you know regardless so you know some motherfuckers fuck with you and some motherfuckers don't you dig what I'm saying

they hate to see you making stow every time against against who do who do you hate the shit for my right

more debaicates they got stores everywhere right I had my own snoring niggas making big stole

every week spreads every day but the impact that I did do I'll share this which I real quick

in prison that I really cherish myself for, was being a person. Like I said, I had school and education with my thing. I fell in there, got my GED in prison and all of that. You know what I'm saying? And I watch me motivate and do some things that I realized from the guys in prison that's never been done, a lot of older guys. had you know 40 some years he was 20 some men already shit like that but i noticed started

noticing the influence that i had on the prison period and i got smart enough fast enough to to start uh bringing my energy towards the wardens and shit like that to try to get them to do things that they had never done and it worked uh i was running into so many different artists is in prison. Really? The rap. Niggas probably was raw as fucking. The coldest niggas I've ever heard in my life is in prison.

No cap. I heard niggas in prison that was so cold to the point where I had to figure out a way to at least, you know, some of them had life sentences. Some of them had so long that, you know, you don't know what's going to, how it's going to play out for me. But I knew I had an influence in prison. So what I did was reached out to a couple guards and shit that they used to be solid enough for me to at least try to get something going. And they actually let me start having a music class in prison. And basically I was getting all these guys together that were niggas that would come and want to rap for me and shit.

Like this nigga cold, this nigga cold. And we were able to put together a talent show, a whole show. show in prison. And, uh, man, the warden had greenlighted on allowing us to do this on the actual basketball court on the yard of the prison. They brought in fucking cordless mics and big fucking speakers like concert speakers and sit it up around the actual basketball court. That bitch was cold as fuck, those biggest rap about wild shit. My braw's always clean. fucking thing and I ain't never had to watch my shit

in the same his ass knickles the shit was crazy though man because you know you got a lot of gang a lot of politics a lot of you know different nationalities

and different races and individuals but it was the first time at least the prison that I was in Yazoo Federal Penitential where you actually seen everybody on the yard it was so bad

I actually come from a prison where it was a compound. And in the federal prison, you have lows, mediums, and the U.S.P. Max. You know, they basically had to shut down the medium and the U.S.P to have enough guards to come. Do the talent show. Because everybody had came out on the yard, and that's something that they never experienced at one time. and it was a day where they allowed loud

loud niggas to be kind of free in there you know you look around the prison yard and you see big clouds of smoke going up like in this motherfucker and wasn't no gauze pumping down rushing on niggas niggas got you know hooch

and every time you're all kinds of shit but niggas got the experience feeling what a concert felt like you understand what I'm saying and I put it in a place of, you know, almost kind of hosting the situation and this rapper this rapper and your audience

was the other prisoners and if they fuck with it you know, it was just like niggas became celebrities in prison from that moment on. The next day, you know, niggas is having all kind of shit

by just kind of creating that ambience of oh, that nigger rap, that nigga cold. You know, I'm saying and a lot of dudes was on their way out and I felt like that's the least that I could have did was you know get them as heard as much

as possible so you know shit like that man bringing shit like that to the table you know this shit that uh you know you don't expect nothing like this going to fucking prison but you realize when you get there at least I did

I gotta make the best out of this situation make the most of that you know you say you don't get your credit You didn't went and made history in jail. You didn't went and did to Apollo in the federal penitentiary. Big face. I don't know how many niggins that rap or otherwise can say that they did that. You know what I mean?

Like, that's something that needs to be. I'm glad you said. That shit never heard. I bet it was a nigga in there just doing acopella doing the beat on his chest. Yeah. I don't have plenty of them niggas. What's that nigga name? I'm sick soups.
