Also making more men feel more comfortable about being able to do something like this without getting jokes and stuff. Like, Charlamagne just told me that he don't grow his out because it's gray and all of that. All the salt and pepper.
Starting point is 00:06:59 You can get it now, boy. You won't break out nothing. You get that line. You look like Denzel, man. Why look 53 when you could be 40? Why look 53 when you could be 30? I mean, this thing really rewinds

Starting point is 00:07:29 Just keep calling, talking about this. No way we're going to celebrate Leanback, Fat Joe, and Remy Ma without coming. So the list of people, right now we only said Dipset, Lox, and us. It's really getting disgusting out there
Starting point is 00:07:46 to line up. And we just going to have the best time. I don't know if it's legal to smoke weed out there, but smoke your shit, have your drink, come in positivity, have a great time, because this is going to be one. I'm making the top five
Starting point is 00:08:01 New York City moment. So like when Muhammad Ali fought for the championship in Madison Square, I'm doing that type of shit. Like when they make a movie about this time 30 years from now, they're going to say The Night in Harlem. Fat Joe's Lean Back and the whole planet Earth came. It was too much in there.
Starting point is 00:08:21 So I'm telling you, if you got a ticket, congrats. If you got a ticket, sell it for more now. Like, it's like, it's too much out of control what's gonna happen in Apollo. You know, I started amateur night. I won four weeks in a row in amateur night. So when I come back, it's always just home to me.
Starting point is 00:08:38 You know, so we did 360. We're doing Apollo April 2nd. It's crazy. I'm telling you, it's gonna be crazy. What did Leanback do for. It's crazy. I'm telling you, it's going to be crazy. What did Leanback do for Fat Joe's career and his life? Well, God did a lot for me. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:08:55 And so, you know, I went rich. I thought I could save the whole neighborhood, 30 guys in Cadillac trucks and paying everybody's bills and buying lobsters every night for 30 guys. Then I went broke.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I remember afterwards, love, I was on my knees on my knees because that's what you got to do it. You got to like really feel the pain when you're really praying for a miracle. It was like, God, one more chance, please. One more chance. One more chance. He gave me that one more chance. Yeah, that thing went number one in the world. He was like, God, one more chance, please. One more chance, one more chance. He gave me that one more chance.
Starting point is 00:09:29 That thing went number one in the world. We was just, I remember the joint came out and like, I don't know if we could talk too much, but it was like three days after the song came out and Lil Jon asked me to come out at a show with him and perform. And 62,000 people were doing this. Three days after, they was all like this.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Now, I remember I looked to the back and Kanye West was hiding behind the wall. He was like, oh, we got one. You know, and so for me, I don't get high. I don't really do nothing. Ain't nothing wrong. Smoke your weed. Do whatever you want to do. But for me my
Starting point is 00:10:05 adrenaline my get high is putting out hit records hearing it in every call you know lean back what it did do was they was playing this in the club like i walked in the club i mean literally 30 40 times in a row like you'll be dizzy in there you like in there like damn is this shit gonna stop you know what I'm saying and they just it was incredible moment for hip hop music and of course for me and rap but one thing I'll say about Joe
Starting point is 00:10:35 you never had a problem making a hit though so that was never a problem some artists they gotta find a hit they gotta they gotta create a hit you've never had that problem well that's the problem that is the problem what you just said is that because a hit record is really a miracle a real hit record not a fad or something but one that's gonna stay forever uh back that ass up we didn't hear money money just back that up. It's getting hot in here.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Go shorty. It's your birthday. Like those joints. Live forever. Right? They forever. You understand? You got a couple of those, though.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yeah, I do. But it's a miracle to get that. You understand what I'm saying? So when you get it, you realize, oh, my God. Thank you, God. When everybody turn around and be like, so I'll tell you what happened. I got robbed for my publishing when I first came here.
Starting point is 00:11:30 You said you got robbed. Everybody was like, nah. I got robbed for my publishing. For your publishing, yes. Yeah, every artist did. When I had signed to this dude, Jelly Bean, he hit me with the We Latino and stole my publishing, me and Pun.
Starting point is 00:11:42 And it took me like 15 years to get my shit back right so once i got my thing back i heard all these artists ludicrous this one that one getting two three million dollar deals this this so i went around and they were like you know they were offering me like 250,000 i was like yo what happened to the million dollar deals? And I remember my lawyer at the time, he walked me to the truck. He was like, yo, Joe, you're not really hot right now. Jesus. I said, oh, Lord, that's all I need. I'm a Leo.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I'm a lion. So I went down to Miami, got in with Scott Storch, came back with that lean back. Then I went right back to them same people. They want you to move closer to the mic. A month later, I went back to the same people, and they gave me the check. They gave me the biggest check. They wouldn't even let me leave the room. The minute it came on, and I was like, my people don't do that.
Starting point is 00:12:31 And I'm like, lean back. They was like, oh, no. Don't leave. We got to get this done. And that's real negotiators. Like, real negotiators want to get it done, or they won't let you leave. How did the idea of Lean Back, what people do there? Because it's such a monumental record how did that come about i came up the beat with scott
Starting point is 00:12:48 start the boom boom boom i said scott i want because scott could play anything so i said scott i want you to play music imagine when uh nas dmx and belly were going in to rob the the tunnel where their eyes was like that I said I want to play something that make you feel like they walking in like they about to rob the joint and we came up he was like what I was like bam bam bam bam and he played it right
Starting point is 00:13:15 and so through the whole beat the beat was more like Moroccan inspired to me he made it but I was giving him the, the ideas, right? But the actual hook was, uh,
Starting point is 00:13:29 based on Missy Elliott, right? Cause, cause Missy was like, is that your bit? And then it went on to him. What did it get on time? What did it don't?
Starting point is 00:13:36 Is that your bit? And I didn't want that. And I realized that what I loved about Missy records was repetition. Her hooks would just repeat itself that's when i learned how to be like i'll make it rain i'll make it rain i'll make it you know a hit record repeats itself so then that's where it inspired that and then the jamaicans was killing everything so they had a rock away snick on the plane all right man huh and so i was like yo we gotta do something like the jama. So we don't dance.
Starting point is 00:14:05 We just pull up our pants. So lean back, lean back, lean back. So that was the whole. And then the rhymes, actually, if we're going to keep it 100, were originally on a K-Slay tape. Because they sold gutter. Yeah. That's the illest thing about it.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah, they was on a K-Slay tape. Because, you know, he would keep coming to get me every. He kept my pen warm. So he would come every two, three weeks and be like, yo, kick a freestyle. And then one day I just went crazy on the statement. I was like, all right, when I get the right beat, I'm going to throw these rhymes on it. You know, so that the rest was his. That was out the gate.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Was Remy Ma always on it or was one of those things? Oh, you know what she did? She did the same thing to M. i didn't know how does remy ma thug out mop and fat joe right so i had three verse i wish i remember that verse because it had to be crazy right because it was the it was the lean back you know when you're in the zone when you're in that type of zone where you like talking all that you know man I wish I had that verse I went go get McDonald's me and Caleb went go get McDonald's and we come back everybody nervous in the
Starting point is 00:15:12 studio and I'm like yo what's up and they like I'm like what's up and it was like yo she erased your second verse and kicked the verse I was like yo Ram are you are you crazy like what did you do that was my solo on the terror squad album and when she played all to the east and to the wizard my arms stayed breezy
Starting point is 00:15:36 it was like that thing they say that thing you didn't know you need yeah oh we never knew we we needed it and so i'm i'm proud you know that me and my sister did that and put it out the park together i just feel like you know me and her we just got a super winning formula um i don't want to say it like that but it's true though like when dre and snoop come with a joint you just like know it's dumb when ram and joe come if they come with it it's out of here and so that's the same thing i did with her all the way up. You know, she came out of jail. She was struggling. I was struggling.
Starting point is 00:16:08 And I sat down. I said, listen, man, let me explain something to you. I said, we could just, like, if we could just put the thread through a needle. Like, if we do do what we got to do, it's out of here because these people only know us from winning together. She was like, all right, bro, put it together. And so when we did all the way up, it felt like lean together. She's like, alright, bro, put it together. And so when we did All the Way Up, it felt like Lean Back. It felt like, oh, they back.
Starting point is 00:16:30 But you don't know what I'm going through in life. We struggling. We pop. We trying to come back. I'm performing in Yugoslavia or China or Philippines. You know, I'm trying to run up the bag. And so that, you know, All the Way Up, it's almost like Lean Back 2 is like a continuation to it,
Starting point is 00:16:47 to be honest with you. Does collaborating with Remy feel like collaborating with Pun? It's the same thing. It's so weird. She's the only person, Tone Sunshine too, that makes me feel like Pun is in the building. When I'm in the studio with Ram, I mean, you know, Terror Squad DNA is really different.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Like, it's really different. We the most loyal when you lock in, and it's like we got each other's back for life. So it's like when we get in that studio, we telling stupid jokes, but you can hear puns jokes in the jokes. You know what I'm saying? And we bothering each other. We doing whatever we doing, but the man always in the building, you know, as weird as it sounds to anybody, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:28 any moment I ever had in my life, it was like big. I swear to God, I'm not lying. If I had a big moment and I go in the car, the minute I turn on the radio, still not a player's plan or, or I signed a deal.
Starting point is 00:17:41 And I looked, somebody got a picture of pun in the corner there. So he always reminds me like, yo, bro, I'm your angel. You know, you ain't doing this by yourself, Joe. You ain't doing it by yourself. So, yeah, we feel like that. Is Lean Back a 1B or a number 2? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:17:57 In your catalog. Like, what's your best song ever? If I say, I'm not going to say best. I'll say biggest. Biggest, I think, would be What's Love. The best song. Not best. The best. I'll say biggest. Biggest, I think, would be What's Love. The best song. Not best. The best is Lean Back.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Okay. Lean Back is because you know why? It's like Shook Ones, right? It was made, like you said, for the gutter, for the streets, for the this, for the that. And then we had Britney Spears in them singing that joint and Pink in them. I was performing at one time when I did What's Love. I seen no black or Spanish people for like a year. And I was like, yo, when we gonna perform this record for black and Spanish people?
Starting point is 00:18:35 Because be careful of you blowing up. You were jelly roll. You ain't even seeing black or Spanish people. It's like, you know, because they're giving you the bag. You're doing every big coliseum everywhere you don't even know what's going on Toby Keith next to you and what's crazy is
Starting point is 00:18:53 when I did What's Love everything prior to that was just gangster music so if you hire Fat Joe for 20 minutes and I don't care you the whitest guy in America he's cursing for 20 minutes and I don't care you're the whitest guy in America, he's cursing for 15 minutes. He's going bad.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Like, I didn't know nothing else. All I can do is perform gangster music and What's Love. Like, they'd be like, oh, my God, this is the What's Love guy? Like, you know, I mean, it's just the reality of it. Now, I see you jumped into politics a little bit. A little bit. Fat Joe would be in New York one day. No, sir. Yes. No, sir. I see you getting into that game
Starting point is 00:19:29 a little bit. I don't know if it's... Not a game. Not a game. It's price transparency. So me and Power to the Pacers been going to Washington. I went one time. So what's going on is there's a hundred million Americans in debt because
Starting point is 00:19:46 of hospital bills. This right here you could go is $9.99, $12.99. You know the price. You know what the water is. $5.99, $6.99. You go to the hospital, you don't know what they charging you. A kid goes in the
Starting point is 00:20:02 thing for EpiPen. They charge him $16,500. He goes online and Googles it. The EpiPen. They charge him $16,500. He goes online and Googles that EpiPen is only $200. Right? And so you could go to the same. This ain't black or Spanish either. You go in the hospital right now in hospitals all over America, every single hospital. Okay?
Starting point is 00:20:21 They're charging you $2,000 for an MRI. They're charging them $26,000. They're charging $64, dollars for an MRI. They charging him twenty six thousand. They charge on sixty four. Same hospital, same doctors, same tests. I don't think that's right. I don't think that's fair. And so the American people are dying because it is because what happens when you ain't got no family, no, no money to family feuds. We break up the household.
Starting point is 00:20:43 And this is the only thing that's bipartisan so it's republican democrat it's black it's white it's muslim it's jewish everything across the board right so this issue is dear to me i went there three three years ago and i remember a journalist girl said yo fat joe what are you doing here i said well i came for pressure she was like good luck this is washington nothing gets done here i'm like yo i'm like you know we hip-hop we created all this from nothing trillion dollar business you and you live in a castle off a hip-hop do you get that so who's gonna tell you you can't get a law passed or whatever the case my i go back the next year 35 the first year only one politician met with me he's a republican from uh kentucky his name was guthrie said i know what you're talking about you
Starting point is 00:21:31 know i got family that all right cool 35 i went last year was 85 politicians they passed the law in congress that's cool but it says estimates estimates of bullshit estimates ain't the real price we want the price so there's a new law coming from uh bernie sanders and senator braun that says the price like you got to be held accountable for the pricing and so that's my true passion now kamala she different you know she got a sweet spot for fat joe you know i'm saying if the viking yeah man she got a sweet let me explain son of you we keep it real right if you go in the streets they say yo she was the police any gangster if you look at king of new york or any of them walking with their lawyer do you know your criminal defense attorney was a prosecutor?
Starting point is 00:22:27 Every single one of them, maybe 1% weren't prosecutors. It's what you got to go through. You had to go through while and out and all that to get here. Every single lawyer, that's a good lawyer learned experience from being a prosecutor. So you're going to hold her accountable because she was a prosecutor, you know? So you got to know every guy would use a free free johnny boy free the guy you hugging
Starting point is 00:22:49 he put a bunch of people in jail so we can't just hold accountable for that and um and so uh you was with her for uh the marijuana reform yeah but i was just with her because she she i really was there for price transparency i'm'm going to just keep it. No, no, no, no. I was there. She asked me to come moderate the room.
Starting point is 00:23:08 It was about partying. Yeah. Cause it was 11 people there who got partied. That got lost because of you though, Joe. No, you think so? Well,
Starting point is 00:23:15 I'm telling them now at the number one show in America that people were in there. I went there because they were talking about second chances. I, my friends is a walking second chance story. Third chance, fourth chance story. Okay. Fat Joe wasn't this bubbly, nice guy giving to the community, loving everyone.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Come here. I love you, brother. I wasn't that. Right. So I know that you could change. Right. And so when I sit down next to the vice president and when I get there, I don't know about you guys. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:23:50 People just, you know, we flaw so much and all that. We tell a big story. But the truth is, I don't think they know how poor I was growing up. The welfare, the free cheese, the projects, the disc. projects to this so when i walk in that white house with her as i walk in the door i start hearing we shall overcome we shall look we used to sing this thing every day in our schools in the hood now i'm at the president's in the white house of course i'm gonna pull up um and make sure it's positive because it was really all about partners you had one guy who couldn't coach his kids team because he had a criminal past he got
Starting point is 00:24:31 a part and now he could coach his team you got people who had criminal records so the way they get the kids out the game is they'll catch you for drinking beer smoking the blunt in your lobby and you could never get a real good city job if that's what you want to do even though i believe in entrepreneurship i'm into owning your own i see more power in the ladies selling oranges on the highway than somebody who think they got a job you know why they're going to get fired and i don't even like how people talk to me When Um You know I got some jobs That's considered jobs that I don't own And they talk to me funny
Starting point is 00:25:12 Y'all rich you know we paid them You know when they start Talking like that you be like damn I'm Joe I don't have to do it just because you paid me Yeah but it's like it's that thing right Yeah When you feel like y'all damn, I got somebody telling me, you pay you, Joe.
Starting point is 00:25:30 So I don't believe in job security. I believe in being an entrepreneur to create financial freedom. That's my thing. He was on IG Live, and he was saying, with all the stuff going on in Haiti, you feel like nobody's helping them over there because they're the first free black nation. Yeah. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:25:50 What do you think I mean? I mean, like. They're the first free black people. They rebelled and they took over the country. And I feel like they cursed them and they said, you know what? We ain't never helping them guys. They're the logo. They're the Jerry West of the NBA.
Starting point is 00:26:08 They're the logo of free black people. And so you think it's a miracle that they one hour plane flight away from here and they living under these conditions or something like that. Now that's conspiracy, Joe. May not be true. You know, every now and then I guess conspiracy joe but what i'm saying is once again right this is where i differ with dr umar and listen i agree with him on 95 of the stuff he said yeah i really mess with this guy but when he says hip hip hop don't do nothing. Fat Joe not Haitian but I get up on my IG line
Starting point is 00:26:45 and say listen guys we gotta do something. Nobody else wants to do nothing. Let's go. And you know what hip hop says immediately when I said that? They know they gotta go in their pocket. When Fat Joe says hey we collecting
Starting point is 00:27:01 it's Haiti time. The problem is with Haiti is that it's very corrupt system. And unfortunately for years, people, they get in power so they can steal. And so right now I have to, you know, be careful what you say.
Starting point is 00:27:17 You might step in shit. So now I got to go fat joke, got to do his thing for Haiti. But we're trying to vet and find out who's the legit people that's going to give the people food and stuff. And got to understand it's at war. You can't just walk in there.

But you are transparent with everything. You are on record saying, I like violence. Okay, we know. Not anymore.

He's my best friend since high school, and that was crazy.

We did a beautiful funeral, and I realized going to see him, I said, man, this is where they're going to bury me, right next to my man. His last post speaks volumes because he was bigging you up. He said
Starting point is 00:39:27 if you ran the world, everybody would eat. Everybody would eat. That's what we about. You know, I got a mentor. His name is J.R. Reitinger. He passed away too. He was a billionaire. He taught me everything I know about business.
Starting point is 00:39:43 And his whole concept was we all got to eat. If you eat, I eat. If you're successful, I eat. And so one thing that I know we're getting better at it, but within the black and brown community, it was always like I'm the king of the tower and you're under me. And that's not strength.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Strength is if, you know, we know if he got all the money, but if he ever needed something, he could call Joe. I got him. You know, if I ever needed you for something,
Starting point is 00:40:13 needed you something, that's strength. Strength is everybody eating in their own way. We ain't get, we really don't need nothing. We don't need none. Everybody doing just fine. But if we did you know
Starting point is 00:40:27 that's the real strength like hove said if everybody in your clique is rich that's it nobody everybody shoves crutches that was one of the coves had too many great lines but that was one of the greatest lines ever in hip-hop history because it's the truth people always start you think you something happened to you everybody else is broke everybody else they do what do you what are we doing you know shout out rich player to ask him for the part that he just started the cannabis joint on the 18th grand opening this paint puff pass pink puff yeah i'm the only one don't know the name but it's across the street from Melba's. Harlem. Stand up. Harlem. Right by Melba's.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Cannabis. Well. Paint. Puff and pass. Paint. Puff. And peace. You know. But my brother. Yeah. But it brings me joy to see my brother winning. It brings me joy to see my brothers winning. It brings me joy to know
Starting point is 00:41:24 that he's employing people in the community that look like us you know that's what y'all gotta understand that is the strength you know i say all the time you know we all said we want to get out the projects we want to get out the hood but people get out and never come back you know i'm saying so that's why i try to keep a presence out there and open businesses in the hood and employ single um um single uh parent mothers and you know i got a single parent mother i won't say her name but she called me up she finally understood you know she from the hood we gave the job she's been with us 10 years but she said yo i bought my first house wow and she was so emotional and i felt it and i was like you see this what i was trying to tell you i was trying to
Starting point is 00:42:06 tell you if you rock with the team you're gonna grow you're gonna be a boss you're gonna go to another level but that's the that's the stuff that makes me happy that's right you know i'm saying and you know making sure you know i'm hoping that when all my employees cut their thanksgiving turkey they'd be like yo thanks for fat guy. Yeah. You know, he got us the turkey. That's right. You know what I mean? That's what it's about.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Did you, I know you got a bunch of phone calls when you did your video with the Trump sneakers. Yeah, the Kamala. That's what I was going to say. The Kamala. It wasn't the Flex. The Kamala called you and said. No, it wasn't the Flex. Look, it wasn't the Flex.
Starting point is 00:42:41 You know, I'm a big sneaker collector. It wasn't it. It wasn't it. And so, you know, I own thousands and thousands. I got the rarest sneakers. If Michael Jackson made a sneaker made out of the white glove, I got it. If Prince, I got a sneaker that's made for Prince that Prince never got. Like, I got all the rarest sneakers in America, but that was not the flex.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Did Kamala call you though Nah they know They know where my heart is at That was just it was wrong That's it I told you you was the only person America got it right It was sneaker ass stuff but wrong You know why
Starting point is 00:43:21 Because I'm mature enough to put myself out, stand out the box. Be like, yo, if Cameron would have threw them sneakers up or Fab or one of them, I'd have been pissed at them. Yeah. You know, you know, this guy, you know, you know, you got to come around, Charlamagne. You got to come around, man, because, you know, this guy. See, we have a short. No, no.
Starting point is 00:43:44 We have a short term memory no we have a short term memory we have a short term memory right and we we forget that two years ago we was all like sick of this guy we wanted it and now we want the guy back because when you don't co-sign this side you you like leave it open to like you know you go over there and i don't like the way it felt i did not like the way that time felt when he was you know president i'm trying to get a law passed so i don't want to go too partisan with it but you know what i mean um i tell people that you know he he's a threat to come home man he let an attempt to cool, man. I'm not home. No, no, no. You're home.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I don't feel like that's our home. Let me tell you what it is. This is the one problem I got. And this is with all my friends. Because I got a lot of Trumpers around. Oof. He's not a Trumper. No, no.
Starting point is 00:44:37 I got. Okay. Yeah. But when you stay neutral, what Martin Luther King says, silence is. You know, know he not feeling Joe Biden and Kamala right so you like Kamala damn that's good news that's a breaking
Starting point is 00:44:51 that's a break alright that's a break that's a break in what I thought now but what I'm saying is to say nothing is like to co-sign that right my thing is uh i believe in we all we all made enough money we all from here we want to make more i believe in capitalism but i believe in looking
Starting point is 00:45:16 out for the less fortunate cause right uh my best friends who are republicans and trumpers they said bro you make so much, you want to save in tax. There's a morality clause there for me, where I don't feel good just saving taxes, and I got to deal with... You know, there's two donkeys out here. There's one that you put the thing
Starting point is 00:45:40 on, and if you don't put the saddle on him, he can't walk straight. He's a donkey. Right? We're going to use that clip. No, no. on and if you don't put the saddle on him he can't walk straight he's a donkey right we're gonna use that clip yo listen then there's another donkey you know listen man
Starting point is 00:45:55 you make your choice when it's time man whatever the case may be but I'm just trying to tell you man it's serious times out here and I like to think i'm with the righteous my my mom i'm with the righteous team you know i'm saying that's just what i'm saying and and for all the people who got on me for showing them trump sneakers no no no no no they they ignited the base you know i've never seen hate like this
Starting point is 00:46:26 in my life like viral mania oh he's a sellout you know they was that i'm like damn i wish you guys come out to the polls but you really feel that way but what gets me confused about politics is why this is a scary part of politics four days later i'm I'm with Kamala in the White House. Oh, what you doing with this woman? Oh, yo, what's wrong with these people, man? I'm old enough to know that I'm not a sellout. I'm trying to get you guys a pardon.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Okay? I'm sitting with her navigating, you know, yo, Joe, we giving pardons out. Oh, sure sure I would love to sit next to you for this one right we gonna give some people pardons I do gotta ask though I know you gotta go

It's just like hip-hop. You pull out the sneaker. Oh, everybody's mad, whatever. We love each other. Shout out DJ Clark Kent. And, but, you know, we flex. So a little kid comes up to me, and I didn't realize he was a little kid,
Starting point is 00:48:00 and I flexed on him. Shout out to Lil Jazi. What do you mean you flexed on him? No, I went bad. I got sneakers older than you. When I look back at the video, yo, Solomon, I felt terrible. I'm going to give the kid an interview. No, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I swear to God. For Joe and the kid's face. I got sneakers older than you. Older than you. What kind of questions you trying to ask? I'm too cocky. Like, come on, man. Check yourself.
Starting point is 00:48:26 He patrol. Nothing. I was just on my cocky. I went to sneaker con. All the sneaker collectors. He says, yo, let me ask you a question. Why do you mean you ask me questions? I got the sneakers.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I looked at the video. I was in. I got the sneakers. I looked at the video. I was so embarrassed like a week later. He was fired up, man. Yo, ask Rich. Who's the kid? Ask Rich the barber. Who's the kid? Yo, bro.
Starting point is 00:48:53 I looked at that. I said, oh, no. I got to correct myself. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you what. No, no. We got to be very careful. I'm going to tell you why.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I know you work hard. I know you work hard. I know you're tired sometimes. I know you got things to do. People don't know that celebrities really have real life. We're really stressed out beyond the scene. We're dealing with parents that are ill. Who knows? Your kid might just, your kid grew up in a mansion, but now he wants to think he's a gang member and be in the hood,
Starting point is 00:49:24 and now you got to worry about your son. I mean, we worked all he wants to think he's a gang member and be in the hood and now you got to worry about your son i mean we worked all our life to give our kids a great absolutely and somehow they all want to end up in the hood and in the gang trying to trying to be like something they miss right and so sometimes we guilty of being in the airport really really tired and somebody might ask you for a picture or something. And you're just like, yo, I just did 10. I got to chill. You know, I'm in the All-Star weekend.
Starting point is 00:49:52 And I'm walking out. And I see one of my favorite correspondents, Wolf Blitzer from CNN. I mean, I grew up with Wolf. I love this guy. Right? So I see him. And I go, Wolf Blitzer. Almost groupie-like. I'm just going to be honest with you. I've never seen him in my life I see him and I go, Wolf Blitzer, almost groupie.

Starting point is 00:51:26 Gabriel. That's the little kid that does the interviews. I'm going to do one with him. My life is so transparent. So when you see me go on IG and I tell you about I got bullied, beat up, or I write the book of Jose, or I tell them when we won, when we lost. I tell them stories like how I lost $2 million when somebody was trying to give it to me, but I had 30, 40 thugs with me and they stopped.
Starting point is 00:51:50 That's the way I reach out to them. Now, if somebody calls me or somebody talks to me, like, you know, I've talked to the biggest young, like, you know, the Kodak Blacks, the 21 Savages. They ask the OG questions. They do reach out. Okay. They be like, yo, OG. And sometimes I don't mind my business if I see Lotto

Starting point is 00:53:19 And I watched the on-air personality and said, well, if we just talking about your album, we ain't really got nothing to talk about. That was the end of the interview. But from that young dude, me, an OG, I learned so much from that young kid. I owe him money is what I'm trying to say because I used to come up here and just like, Joe, what about you? Go get him. Do this. Do that. go get him do this do that and I'm sitting here and when I look at my
