Starting point is 00:02:27 man. You know what I'm saying? Like when y'all look at each other today, what do you see that you couldn't see in each other when y'all was young? A lot of maturity, man. You know, especially in my bro, man. A lot of maturity, man.
Starting point is 00:02:39 We grew up. We grew up, man. And in fact, we know it's not about us as a one as about us as a whole. So it's all about, you know, men in relationships and being good, being good in life, great in life. How has that been on the road?
Starting point is 00:02:53 I want to be the answer to that same question. What do you see in Juvie today that you didn't, being in with you? I mean, he just said it, like, maturity, man. You know what I'm saying? Like, I see, man, I see somebody who I won't be like when I grew up. Don't make me old, though.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Don't make me old, though. But you don't even think y'all would get to this age? Seriously, coming from where y'all come from? Nah, me personally, hell, no. You know what I'm saying? I couldn't see past 25, for real. You know what I mean? Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I didn't think of it. I can say, I'm not going to say that I didn't see me getting old. I didn't think of it though I wasn't thinking of it How does it feel like Back on the road Back practicing back rehearsing To where y'all were before
Starting point is 00:03:34 From feeling from that as a kid To how it is now The same camaraderie Going back in the studio And how does that feel It's fun Man It's fun
Starting point is 00:03:44 It's kind of like starting all over again Having that same experience As from the beginning And just kind of I'm curious to see How the fans react You know That's that that thought
Starting point is 00:03:55 in the back of the mind really makes it all fun again. B.J. I mean, you know, me and Juve ain't never stopped working. Like, you know, and when I came home, he was like one of the first people that came to Vegas and locked in with me. You know what I mean? We got in the laughing. You know, it just went to cooking.
Starting point is 00:04:09 And, like, it's always a vibe. Like, when we get in the lab and, you know, when we get together, when we do shows together, it's just always fun. And do you remember all your verses, right? We went to Hove's show, and I'm like, how do you have a whole? Amazing.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Remember all these days for all these songs. Not just that. The way they was blending other songs into it, I was like, you know, sometimes, because Fresh do that to me, and, you know, sometimes I'm like, damn, I don't, we ain't rehearsed it. I don't want nothing new.
Starting point is 00:04:38 But yeah, yeah, I definitely, if you see me perform, I'm definitely, I don't really like that. I get thrown off on the lyrics playing, truthfully, so I definitely like to be, you know, half on in the end and the whole point, but Hope was impressive, bro. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:51 I'm not going to say that we're going to get up there and do it just like, That was impressive, bro. You know what I think? I think that's why I don't think he did a whole full 50, 60 day tour like that, because I don't know if he could do it. I would love to see him do it every night. Who want to when you that age and you got that much money?
Starting point is 00:05:09 Who want to be on the road? You would not be on the road. I'll be right. I'm not going to lie to you. The last tour, I was like, yeah, I ain't doing this money no more. It was a lot. It was a lot. So, you know, right now I'm going to keep it to like 20, 25.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I'm cool with that. You know, anything above that, that's too much. B.G. Did you look at Jovey as an older brother even back then? Or was it just like hot boys? Like, y'all was just peers. Nah, Juve, it was always the big group. Okay. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, you know, he was the elder in the group. You know what I mean? Keep on. Not the elder. Nah, no, no, no. No, no, no, Jube always was the big bro, though, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:52 You know, how you say, I was always the old brother. is one in the group but the cool the cool part about that I used to always like be like on on an attack mode on them like on some competitive competitive make you not trying to get them going like he pushed us you know what I'm saying to bring out you know the best in ourselves you know what I mean and you know he he was doing it before us right you know I was a fan of you before you know I got on you see what I'm saying so you know I learned a lot from him you know I mean yeah because he was already seasoned I saw the reunion when y'all did it in New Orleans.
Starting point is 00:06:24 And that was one of the biggest things. It was so nice to see y'all be fans of each other on the stage and just be so excited on the stage. So on this tour, because y'all are big fans of each other, how are you guys choosing what goes where, who's on stage when? Because y'all's sharing it now. It's pretty much, we all curated it together.
Starting point is 00:06:42 You know, pretty much Manifresh, kind of like running the show. He's kind of like the same thing. He's always, man, if Fresh up kind of way. He's going to run a show and go. He's going to be a show. We'd be kind of like letting them do this thing and kind of stay out of his way
Starting point is 00:06:56 and just really, you know. It goes pretty good, man. I could tell you this, you know, from city to city and from show to show, we got plans on having a lot of people coming out and show that's dope. And switching it up a little bit of hand now. All right, cool, look, switching it up.
Starting point is 00:07:11 All right, so we're going to get, I know we're going to get some hits, right? Yeah. So are we getting bowling point hits, too, though? Yeah, I'm feeling this album. I'm like, I don't listen, I love all the original tracks and all that, but like, Bowling Point, you dropped that. That shit took me back.
Starting point is 00:07:26 They had pictures twirking. I'm like, all, yeah, so you got to perform some songs from Bullen Point. Manifresh even looked at the list and said that. So we said, man, I might change one or two and put out. I'm definitely going to have some bowling points. Yeah, some, yeah, all right, cool. Hello, you're going to be on stage because that's a lot. I know.
Starting point is 00:07:43 That's a lot of music. We got an hour. And they got an hour. And they got an hour. And I think the way it's set up, we're going off and on. stage. Yeah. It's going to be fun.
Starting point is 00:07:54 It's going to be fun. It's not going to get the same thing straight through. Y'all only doing one verse thing because, I mean, y'all got, back then, songs were five minutes long. And they got so much. Back. I'm not. It's going to be like, Project, Jake, back that ass up, girl.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Get your roll on. It's not going to do those fast. And that was, and in the rehearsals, though, that was the thing. Like, because, you know, trying to figure out, man, man, I'm going to do this. How do this? How are we going to fit all these songs in, man? The people won't hear this.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Man, they won't hear that. They won't hear that. So, yeah. And that's what I mean. So every city not going to get the same show. Or is it going to be? I mean, from market to market, it might change. Yeah, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:08:32 It has to. It has to. It has to. It has to. We set up, we got this long list of a lot of songs. So we set up to change up everything. Then, like we said, you don't know who won't, who's going to pop out.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Every city we got somebody popping out. That's really great. Even with you, I think about like 400 degrees. Like 400 degrees is so big culturally, right? But sometimes it feels. It overshadows the rest of your catalog. So do you use this opportunity to show people? Like, let me show you what I got out of 100 degrees.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I do. I do get over. You know, sometimes I get on stage and I start singing songs and people be like, damn, I forgot he had that album too. I'm like, yeah, man, this ain't just 400 degrees. It's some other things going on. It's a noia clap and stuff like that around here that y'all are forgetting about.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I ain't forgetting. Who was the better rapper in 99? Juvenile of BJ. He's falling for that, man. He's trying to throw. He's not a big competitive question. Nah, man.
Starting point is 00:09:31 He's not. He's going to answer the question the same way. He's going to say he is. I'm going to say, I'm going to fall for that. So what could BG do as a rapper that juvenile couldn't do and vice versa? Man, I could tell you right now, BG got a hell of a voice. I could never have the voice tone that he got and carried.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I'll lose my breath. I have to breathe. I'd be amazed by the way his pitch and how he could just carry a word so long I'd be like, damn, man, I lose my... I could never make the... In his natural form, see? It's natural form. I can never make the type of hooks he can make.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's just a hookmaster. Like, you know what I mean? Like, for real, for real. Like, you know, his... Like, dealing with female records, like, I can't make the type of female records he can make. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah, but you're going to make. You make a murder song. There was a killer. There was a bad to be a real healthy competition amongst the group. It was, man. That's what I'm telling you. I used to walk in the corner of. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Unless, man, I ain't going to lie. Shorter used to go in the corner on. Yeah, not. Facts. It used to be me and you. And, like, you know, we'll team up against them. Like, we used to be in there of bread of beefing, like, really trying to outdo. Wow.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, Shaw did put a sound effect. Now, you'll go over the, yeah, like with the ad lips. Like, his ad lips was always, like, different. Nah, facts. Now, you got sound effects. And we'll go over there, man, let me, let me hear what you got. You can be like, no.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Yeah, like, you know, he's only the ears. Oh, yeah, I'm like, yeah, it was crazy. You aren't going to go in the boot. I tell me, I used to walk in there and see, she like, man, you start that shit all over. I'm about to tell you out. And I wouldn't have nothing. I wouldn't have nothing.
Starting point is 00:11:27 When we did the sound effects back then, that was before the whole sound effect thing was big. So y'all thought that first was like, what the hell he sound effects? I mean, bling. And I think that's where he'd get it from. He's a big Missy fan. He's a big Missy fan. So the bling and the sound effects and stuff,
Starting point is 00:11:44 I think he did. He probably did, you know, get a little bit of that. Yeah, but his ad lips was always different. Always, yeah, always. You got the ad libs, the hooks. Like, there's a lot of things from y'all that are still present today and new artists. What's one of the things from those sessions that y'all didn't really think much about,
Starting point is 00:12:00 y'all was just doing what y'all do, but you sit today and be like, dang, artists are still doing that, and we were just playing around in the studio. Man, oh, man. It's a couple things, but one main thing I could say is being melodic. Not saying we started it, but kind of like in the way that we did it, because we'll be melodic for a couple bars and then change back to straight rap. Yeah, right. We see cash now.
Starting point is 00:12:21 the whole melodic thing, like, it's big. It wasn't so big then, you know, right now. It's huge, you know, and not saying just because of all the tunes, you got some artists that was rappers back in the days when they started, but now they realize and they got a little tone that works for them, and they're running with it. I ain't mad at them. Did y'all do the melodic thing just because it was something you wanted to try?
Starting point is 00:12:44 I always thought it was because your accents and, like, y'all, the flavor of Orleans. I just thought it was cool at the tune. I don't know. It wasn't no reason to it. It wasn't no real reason to it. I just thought it sounded good. I ain't in line. Me personally, I got it from Pimp Daddy, right?
Starting point is 00:13:00 You know, Pimp was like the first one who used to be, you know, coming with that swing and with that, you know what I'm saying, that melodic flow like. Yeah. Well, I'm Pimp Daddy. Yeah, nah, right. He was an artist on the open to Pimp Daddy. But you know who was first? Everlasting Hit Man.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Everlasting Hit Man. And then me. Then me. Facts and Hitman was the guy that was first, you know, doing a bounce thing in New Orleans. You know, they had a history behind a bounce scene. Oh, a little bit. But shout out to him, too.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Man, he rest in peace. Both of me, they both rest in peace. Facts. Cash money had a guy back in the day's name, Pimp Daddy. He did his thing. Yeah. He did his thing. That was before I got that.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Did becoming successful as young as y'all became successful? Did he give y'all a chance to grow up normally? Man, I think we missed a lot of our childhood. I know for me with the name and everything, me traveling early with Jimmy and all of them, I missed a lot of my childhood. Wow. And I know he missed a lot of his childhood.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Yeah. He was around him and went. So, you know, everybody, man. So I've seen the whole process. How were y'all preparing for this tour? Oh, you wanted him to answer the question. My bad, my bed, my bed. What that, what first?
Starting point is 00:14:13 You're having all that success as young. Oh, no, no, no. No, no. I was, nah. I ain't had no childhood for real, for real. I mean, like, I, you know, I stopped. Are you ever a kid in New Orleans anyway? You got to grow up pretty quick.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Yeah, not, for real, for real. You got to grow up pretty quick. Yeah, I stopped being a child like about 12 years old, man. Nice, man. Yom, yump, because I signed with kids money when I was 13, and then, you know, I was, yeah. You got out of little trouble here and that, too, so. Yeah, yeah. Did y'all even have attorneys back then when y'all signed them deals or that?
Starting point is 00:14:48 Nah, nah. Man, he was an attorney. Yeah, I'm talking about eight. Hey, my mom signed my first contract. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, man, Staling in the living room. You know what I'm saying? Brought the contracts with my mom in the living room.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Man, look, I'm about to change your life. It was kind of like a blessing that somebody, had some pet work with your name on it, besides the principal or something. Leave on me how to teach you. It was kind of like one of those situations. That's like sign right here. It's a brand to go.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Yeah. And man, we're about to do this. Like, we, man, we're about to do this, man. You know what I'm saying? And we created that, you know, that family. But true for me. Go ahead. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:15:27 No, I was just saying, like, you know, we created that family dynamic and, you know, that brotherhood. And it just, it was. Like, we wasn't even thinking about no paperwork for real. It was. We just were doing it for the love of the music, man. And, you know, the money and the success came for real. And the part, the crazy part about that,
Starting point is 00:15:45 I don't think we had real music lawyers in the water. Even if you would, y'all, I don't think it would really be able to read the contract. You know, because I had legal counsel for one situation, and it still was bad. So, you know, you can't. So y'all didn't even really understand the machine that Baby and Slim were creating. No. I don't even think they understood it at the time. They was just trying to get out of the streets.
Starting point is 00:16:08 If we had them in the room with you with us right now, they'll tell you the same thing. Like, boy, we ain't really know either. Nah. You're not big that $30 million deal. No, but that was laid on. Like, you know, we had a five or seven-year run before that. It didn't go. Not just that. It ain't all go how they thought it was going to go in the beginning, either.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Remember, you know, the first album came out. We thought we was about to, everything was about to start going platinum, and it didn't go like that. So, you know, we had to, like, go back to the drawing board. And it all failed on 400 degrees. I always tell people like, man, 400 degrees really was a group album that can't, just because I was next, they took all the best songs we had
Starting point is 00:16:48 and put them all on my album. These are facts, because when we was recording them, I didn't know where the songs were going. Yeah, you cheated with 400 degrees. Well, no. Some of them songs was Hot Boy Records and other things. Lucky me, I was second. Yeah, not for real.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, so we did, it was all the blessing, man. You know, I'm glad a lot of things happen for a reason, and the fact that we're still here and we're able to go out and do this tour. And I was still here and we're able to go out and do this tour. And after all these years later, man like it's nothing short of a blessing man was bird man was baby always supposed to rap
Starting point is 00:17:19 or is just something he just wasn't around y'all so much he was rapping before I got there he was rapping on your album yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but really he just was talking and popping his shit you know what I mean and then yeah he's stumbled in the rapping but he's not really a rapper he called himself a game still right yeah no I'm just saying but yeah now he got a bunch of a bunch of hits like but um at Stana in heart
Starting point is 00:17:41 he's not a rapper like you know he's leader right you know what I mean and you know he direct traffic you know I'm saying and you know slim you know direct you know the traffic from the next level right you know what I mean but bird used to be that shit talking for us like that motivation we needed you know we come and yeah and let's make a song like this this gonna be the subject a lot not facts a lot of the time so you know he was that he was kind of like the coach facts like he can a lot of the concepts you know a lot of the direction that we was going with songs you know
Starting point is 00:18:14 telling us this and telling us that and just, yeah, he, yeah, he directed. They're giving us his self-experiences because you know he's from the street. So that part is, that part is all actual, factual. So, you know, he give us his self-experiences and shit, and we take that shit and put it on record and, you know, flip it our own way. The other thing I like seeing BJ, I just like seeing you happy to be home, man. Man. What's the part nobody tells you about coming home after 12 years?
Starting point is 00:18:41 The part that nobody tells me? Yeah. You know, everybody always celebrates somebody coming home, but you can't really tell somebody how to celebrate coming home until they actually touch them. You got to adjust. You got to feel like that. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:54 It definitely, you know, during as much time as I did, like, it's a real adjustment period. Like, you really got to, you know, retrain your mind, you know, to the free world, right? You know what I mean? And especially when I left, you know, social media wasn't as big as it is. Like, when I left, you know, Instagram, just came out. You can only post a picture.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Like, you know, like, Instagram live, you know, all this other stuff. So, you know, coming home and I used to hear about it and, you know, we have arms and a junk and all that, you know what I mean? But coming home and just, you know, getting bombarded with
Starting point is 00:19:32 everybody having an opinion and everybody having voices and everybody just, you know, attacking you. Like, you don't even know, like, just making up stories and like, it just was a lot to take in, you know what I mean? And so, yeah, that's the part that I wasn't ready for at first.
Starting point is 00:19:49 You know what I'm saying? I had to sit back and like, hold up, man, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me figure this out, man. You weren't prepared for how much the world had changed. Yeah, nah, nah, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't. And I'm still adjusting, for real, for real. Like, I'm, I'm, you know, it's a, it's a process, man. You know what you're sure adjusting to?
Starting point is 00:20:09 Just, um, just the way people move, man, you know what I mean? And just, you know, you know, know how social media than really you know psychologically mess people up man absolutely you know what I'm saying like I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:20:24 you can talk like this and not get shot you know like it's kind of like being really disrespectful like I'm talking about man no consequences it's kind of it's consequences when you say shit on
Starting point is 00:20:40 social media and something happened you know it's consequences I always call the slick ratin Man, I see cats beefing with somebody. I never seen when I see cats beefing with somebody on social He ain't going to do you nothing. Man, hey.
Starting point is 00:20:56 These things about it. That motherfuckerah, da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And all this and all that, but then that same voice and then that same, yeah, you know, they're letting them people know like if something happens to him to get them back. He just basically let them know. No, facts.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Say you said the name and everything. Derrlin Johnson just motherfuckold He didn't touch me. I don't know what I'm going to do. You know what I'm going about that life. I'm like, I know what I'm on. Derek Joneswood. I'm just saying that.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I'm a real name. I'm just saying the government. So you're kidding. I'm a cell three, five, forty, three, two. Yeah, nigga. You live at five, three, 84. Claim. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:36 You know, I'm giving me an address up. Nigger will give all your personal information up, and you're like, you know, I'm not about to do you. I'm not about to do you nothing. That would be done. Crazy. That was a half. If you lose one hand on his head, he did.
Starting point is 00:21:47 But hey, you know, shout out to everybody bought the tickets to this tour. Big facts. Big facts. I do want to ask you, though, is the harder adjustment realizing how much the world changed or how much you changed? Well, I ain't gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Like, I've definitely grown a lot, man. You know what I mean? Like, I'm definitely not the same person who went in. You know what I mean? Like, I came out. But I ain't had a lot. No choice, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, to grow up, you know what I mean, and figure it out because I ain't won't, you know, waste like 12 years in my life, you know what I mean, like for real, for real.
Starting point is 00:22:25 And it took me six years into my bed for me to get there, you know what I mean? Because when I went in, you know, I had so much time to I adapted that prison mindset. You know what I mean? Because I was going to be there a while and I ain't see the end in the beginning. You see what I'm saying? And, you know, I'm here, so I got to rock how they're rocking and I got to move how they're moving. So, you know, I grab my knife, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:22:51 You know, woo-whoop and, you know, I'm in the mix. You know, I'm saying, doing all this prison shit, you know, losing good time and, you know, just doing a bunch of dumb shit, you know what I mean? And once I got into it halfway through, I would like, hold up, man, it is a finish line for me. Like, once I started seeing the finish line, that's when I, like, kind of buckled down. and really, you know, started working on myself
Starting point is 00:23:16 and, you know, being like, hold on, man, you know what I'm saying? I really, because I in line, I thought it was over for me, you know what I'm saying?

Because, you know, dudes don't do as much time as I did and come back and get, you know, a second chance in this game.

Starting point is 00:26:53 See you between the pages. On the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B.

Starting point is 00:28:02 Did y'all rehearse with No Limit? Did y'all do things together? Because I'm thinking about, you went to Chris and Usher. Yeah. They come out at first together, right? They do one song together and then they break off. and Chris do eight and this. So did y'all rehearse with each other?
Starting point is 00:28:14 Or is it just y'all just doing your own? It's kind of like what you said, but we didn't, it's, it's, we didn't have to rehearse together, to put it like that. But I think it's pieced together kind of like in that manner, how you're saying it? But us coming out together, I don't think we do that. Because I don't have songs together, though, so.
Starting point is 00:28:30 No. I mean, we got songs with KLC and people that's in the, most of the people that's on no limit, we have worked and did songs together on their projects. Not enough. Not nothing that really blew up that we could sing on stage. Did y'all ever even think this could happen? Cash money, no limit to him?
Starting point is 00:28:48 No. I mean, yeah. I ain't not, but me personally, like, I would have been down for it. No, no, it ain't. Right. You know, I'm going to keep it, keep it a hundred, bird and pee. Yeah. You know, that's the, that's the two.
Starting point is 00:29:03 And the street politics. Yeah, that's the two. Once we got over that, her room. To agree, everybody else. You know what that initial conversation was? Nah, I don't know. Nah, we don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:17 But when you got that first, like, yes, happening, y'all remember it being like, oh, wow, like this is a thing. Well, the versus, when, when, that pretty much was the call that made me, that made me know this tour was able to happen to have the versus. And behind the scenes, behind the scenes, like, you know, we was having conversations and, you know, trying to put the play together for like, maybe two, three months, like, and Me and Burry used to be having conversations every day, and, you know, he used to be asking me, man, what you?
Starting point is 00:29:46 I'm like, man, let's go get this. Hey, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, bro, like, man, that shit old, man. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, come on, man, we've grown, man, you know what I'm saying? And the fans. You did? I'm like, yeah, let's do it for the culture, man.
Starting point is 00:29:59 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And he was like, you know what you're like. You did. And the fact, the attitude we have in the same thing. We celebrate. We celebrate life. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:30:08 So we're celebrating the culture. Fact. You know. We had one of the most historical runs out of both labels from the same city, which we could have been doing music together when we was at our prime. A lot of people would have loved to see that. But the fact that we can go out there and do this tour, I think it's going to be a blessing, man, for everybody.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Then we got boozy on there. I came up to see that, too. You know, he got a hell of a show. He got so much energy, you know what I mean? So, yeah, I know he's going to shed it down. And then y'all look good, y'all sound good. man, you're standing, shaping everything. How are y'all preparing for this store?
Starting point is 00:30:44 This is 17 cities. It's back to back to back. Y'all can't be losing your breath and shit. Juvenile, them drinks. We're professionals, not. No, no, we're not. It's in us, not on us. You know, are you doing breathing control competitions now?
Starting point is 00:31:00 Like, what? Yeah. Because the verses, I feel like the conversation of the versus was like, juvenile, the breath control, whatever. But now it's like everybody, we got to see everybody across all those cities do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:10 That's a lot of work. I mean, I'm well-rested. You did. You're well-rested. Nah, we're going to be a-a-do. I just seen Juvie. I just did 65 shows. I was right saying, like, I literally see him rap like 10 minutes straight.
Starting point is 00:31:27 I just did Baltimore last weekend. It was sold out. Crazy. I mean, crazy. I already know, man. Crazy. Yeah. It's real crazy.
Starting point is 00:31:36 You know, we had Rhapsody up here. She said y'all did a song together. Yeah. Rhapsody. She said she said she don't think she was going to say. She's a morosity is She gets busy, man I'm talking about she gets busy
Starting point is 00:31:47 And talk about staying on subject And make more sense than what you were trying She's telling me, storyteller, man Like I'm talking about like She's one of my favorites, for real What's the record? What's the record? It's a secret, though.
Starting point is 00:32:01 When she said it, she was like, I don't even think I was supposed to say that. So I'm doing a album that's kind of dedicated to women, I'm gonna have, like, a lot of women on the album. Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, you ain't never told me that. You're all right.
Starting point is 00:32:19 You're dedicated to women. You're all right, you know. No. That's reaction. You know, that's what I mean? I like the women, too. Yeah. Nah, but, nah, that's, oh, that's, though.
Starting point is 00:32:32 You already did a verse Saturday. Oh, that's for that? Yeah. All right. Yeah. The reason I asked that, though, because that could go either way, could be a record for women or it could be a record
Starting point is 00:32:42 because Juvie really want to let people know, I get busy as a mother-in-rap. Yeah. I always tell you when you hear, I don't feel like people understand the type of lyricist that Juvenile really is. Whatever reason, Wayne ended up getting his just due as a lyricist, but I still don't think people talk
Starting point is 00:32:58 about Juvie the way that they should. Hey man, I'm a monster, man, but I feel the same way about Wayne though. Let me keep it real. I always see that when I come here. Wayne is the best rapper of all the time to me. That's my good. I got a lot of cats out of
Starting point is 00:33:10 here to always disagree, they got their own arguments. That's how I feel. But far as lyrics, oh, I'm a monster. I'm one of them. Yeah, I don't think of it. And you're a perfectionist, man. Like, he'd be like, I'm talking about, man.
Starting point is 00:33:23 You're gonna be like, you see. You might say, man, Jew will get on my nerve. Can I make him change anniversary for a time? Like, I was talking about I will do a song and then I hear it the next time and then he could change it up again. I'm saying, and then he'll change it up.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I'm like, dude, bro, Why you're overthinking that drunk are really hot? Yeah, but he'd be trying to. Yeah, he'd be on. He'd be on it. He'd be on it. That challenge is, you know, that's good. He'd be on it.
Starting point is 00:33:50 You know, BJ, you get busy too, right? But as a rapper, when you hear Juvenile's name, when it comes to Southern rap, where should his name actually be? Um, shit. Top five, absolutely, man. Southern? Southern? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Yeah, I ain't too many, too. Thank you, my brother. studio with Jew and I'll rap him. You know what I'm saying? Like, nah, Jew get busy, man. Man, I don't, I mean, it ain't too many. It ain't too many dudes from the South. And we got some spitters in the South.
Starting point is 00:34:25 We got some real lives. Yeah, no, big facts. A lot of the cats down there. Big facts. Every time I hear that subject, I mean, my name come up a lot. You know, a lot of you do, man. A lot of these dudes, man, if they ain't got a new hot boys in their DNA,
Starting point is 00:34:37 man, they faking, man. You know, we like your favorite rappers' favorite rapper, man. Oh, shit, boy. You're glad to back that ass up. How many times do you decline a clearance for that? Because it's such a record that you just don't want to see it for the wrong way. It's a lot. I hate that.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Because some castes go ahead with it anyway. You know, and I hear, I'm like, yeah, I see why. You should ain't going to why. This cast that I got, that I, Like Capella, like Capella grade. Yeah, I clear that. It got to be something that we like. If it's, you know, because some of these cast is trying to just bump their gun on your song,
Starting point is 00:35:18 and really steal your whole song. Like, all right, be creative, do something different. Don't even take the flow. Do something different with the whole song. Then maybe I'll clear it. But some of these cast, man, you got to hear some of the shit I'll be here. Damn. I don't know why you would want to remake that.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Should be all the time, though. Capella Gray did it, though. That was good. Some songs that just don't need to be told. That was dope. And it was cool to be at the BMI Awards with Capella. It was this great, great experience. So that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:35:50 If you're going to do it, do it right, and let the song, you know, treat the song the right way. Like, if you're going to remix somebody else song, like, if I was remixing somebody's song, I'm trying to make it a hit. I'm not trying to, like, put it on the album. Yeah, I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yeah, so Capella didn't try to remake it. Like, he ain't, I like, that's what I like the ball capela is like, he ain't even try to remake it. He just wanted to, like, you know, he threw it in there, like the violin. A lot of the niggins ain't even know that was a violin in the beginning. See, I had to put niggas on a word.
Starting point is 00:36:17 He used that and that was hard. A vibe, yeah. I always say back that ass up is the number one twerk anthem of all time. I'll say that every night I'm on stage. I do not kid. Now, another thing, too, I wouldn't want to remake back that ass up because it's not like back that ass up
Starting point is 00:36:32 and sitting on the shelf and you gotta dust it off. That shit is red hot, right, Right now. I'm saying I could be in a car and that you don't come on to ready you and I just got to turn that you know what I mean? Like for real, for real, like that's your stealing rotation. So why would you rank that with, because it's songs that I always, you know, it's songs
Starting point is 00:36:51 that I know they play at weddings, right? That play. So what's the number one of all time wedding song? Oh well, a wedding reception song. Envy, that's a question for you. I would say time five, I would say before I let go was in there. Okay. now back that ass up.
Starting point is 00:37:07 International players anthem. International players anthem. Especially if you're black. Depends on where you're at. If you're on the East Coast, the jagged edge. The butt. Doing the butt.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Doing it. Yeah. The age. And then I would say knock if you buck, swag surfing. Hey, my good sister married two weeks ago, I definitely heard back that ass up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:26 All right you're going to play back to back. Even if everybody's still there. I'm saying, if you don't play that like, oh no, if you know, if you know, He ain't DJing. That's right. He ain't really teaching.
Starting point is 00:37:38 You'll find out, you'll find out a lot of things about your family. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Your grandmother was getting up. Your grandmother was getting up? Not fine, but just. That's what?
Starting point is 00:37:56 That's when the shoes come off and they go busy. Nah, for real. Hey, man, so down in New Orleans, it's a catch-that-wall thing. He called it Catching the Wall. I'm like, you know, I'm at my family, then I'm like, I'll be not catching a man. I don't care. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Don't embarrass me like that. I'm mad. So they tell him my wife, they tell him my wife, that's why we don't like to go in the way with him, because he'd be tripping. You know what you put your hands on the wall and you get the here. So the women, the women in my family don't like me around. No way up front, because they feel like I'm the grouch.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Damn, you don't, you know what you're going to mess. You're going to run. You're going to make this song. By everybody running when the intro dropped the final wall, but your family can't grab the wall. I'm getting everybody off the wall. That's crazy. They say, how are you going to make a song?
Starting point is 00:38:46 I admit it for y'all. I'm sorry. I don't know. I can't take it, man. I don't want my little cousin's hair. I'm sorry. I don't. No, I feel that.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I feel that. You know, who do you think Mandy Fresh had the easiest time producing for out of YouTube? Man, I would. You got to ask them that. question. He had a system for all of us. Yeah. He knows for me, like BG Kat had always had that gangster feel. And for me, and that's actually to be mad and mad about that, because he used to give BG all the gangsta beat. Yeah, nah, but he's sitting there like, all the hits though, like,
Starting point is 00:39:20 all the big, like, you know what I'm saying? So I want fast, I want my own argument. You know what I mean? Yeah, we bought out. So I'm like, I don't care just as long as he's fast. Yeah, that's how I used to be. Yeah, mid temple. I like mine, me a temple, you know what I mean? Some of the beats he used to get, I used to be sitting there like, damn, bro. I swear I got to be friends. I said, man. He said, nah, bro, I make this for you.
Starting point is 00:39:43 I said, no, you got to stop doing that. And that's the type of system we had, too, though. Like, if I'm doing my album, all us in there. If we're doing a juve album, all us in there. Like, if we're going to Wayne album, all us in there. We're doing the Hot Boys album, all us in there. Like, we could not, you know, that was just a rule we had. Like, we could not be in there to support.
Starting point is 00:40:04 You know what I'm saying, each other. So, yeah, and that's just how it was. That's crazy, because all they all has had so much versatility. Like, I can hear you on Project Tick, but then I can turn around and hear you on back that ass up. But now I'm thinking about it, 400 degrees, BG could have been on that easily. Yeah. The actual song 400 degrees.
Starting point is 00:40:21 He could have. Yeah. They could. And look, if he would have been. And that's one night, that night in particular, everybody left, and it was just me and Joe Kaysen in that, the 400-degree song. And Joe Kaysen wanted to prove to cash money that he could,
Starting point is 00:40:34 He could do his job. You know what I'm saying? So he was like, Drew, please, bro, please, let's just try to make a hit. Let's try to, because, bro, they go,
Starting point is 00:40:43 if I come out, if I come out of empty-handed, they're going to be saying. Oh, he'll play in all that night? Yeah, he was doing. You made a classic? Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Shout out to Joe Casey. I can't. We did it, though. Do you always want to do bling bling? Nah, I ain't, lying. I ain't lying. I ain't want that record all my help.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I figured that. I'm feeling. I felt like it was too. I'm like, yeah. But that was the best decision that, you know, it took my album, jamming the double platin, you know what I'm saying? That was really, manning.
Starting point is 00:41:09 You know, yeah, it was, yeah, it was fresh idea like to, it was like, man, geez, the album's so dark, you know what I mean? And you know, it's so street, like, man, we need, you know, we need to put, you know, because I had like, maybe a couple of female driven records on there, whatever, whatever, but you know, they want to give it just the, you know what I'm saying, something just to, you know what I mean, level it off, right?
Starting point is 00:41:33 And I was like, you know what I'm saying? Because that was originally supposed to be a big time as a record. Right. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, they made the decision and then baby talked me into it. Because I'm like, man, that old song for that, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm on the record? I'm like, but that was our thing.
Starting point is 00:41:53 That was our, you know, our image and all that. You know what I'm saying? But I just felt like that wasn't for me. You see what I'm saying? And you know it, yeah, they bless my game. Like, they blessed my game with that. But you know, but like I say, I was young and I didn't understand, you know, they're thinking at the time, you know what I mean.
Starting point is 00:42:15 And, yeah. It worked. Did that record hurt you? Meaning after you was chasing that success of that record? Did it hurt me? No. No, not at all. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Not at all. You know what I mean? Not at all, man. You know what I mean? Word ended up. in the dictionary. You know what I mean? Like, you know, it's starting.
Starting point is 00:42:35 That's probably the only thing that hurt you ain't trademarked. That's the only thing. You heard of me, man. Nah, that's a fact. You heard my probably wouldn't even have to rap right now. You know, like, for real, for real. For real people saying, Blamey. I heard Robin Leach, your lifestyle
Starting point is 00:42:50 is your famous. Blank, man. I'm talking about everywhere, like, everywhere, like, that word, like, literally started up. It's just crazy how it became a real word. Yeah. Yeah. How many people could say they did that?
Starting point is 00:43:04 Created a word. You just said that. You can literally say you created a word. That's like a history. Yeah. Yeah. My last question, what's something that history gets wrong about the original cash money era
Starting point is 00:43:17 that y'all hoped to correct with this talk? Man. I don't know. I think we got it right with it. Oh, damn. I don't know, bro. Because I think when we first came out, everything kind of went right for us,
Starting point is 00:43:35 the 30 million, the deal and stuff like that, that was kind of right. I don't know. It was really just a reminder. Y'all just standing your place. This is pretty much a reminder. Shout out to Blake too, man, for doing this, man. Shout out to Blake, man.
Starting point is 00:43:49 I've been a big tycoon in his music, in his business, in his show business, and really been doing great business with everybody for a very long time. I'm going to give him his flowers right now, man. But I think it's something that the world need to see right now, You know, I think us getting together
Starting point is 00:44:06 and really prove into the world, both labels really don't have a hate for each other. We really get along. And I think everybody else after us who have these quarrels that have these, everybody have these conceptions thinking that we beefing, they could do the same thing after us.
Starting point is 00:44:27 We're trying to just pave the way for the next cast to prove everybody wrong. Because I think right now what we're doing is historic. Yes, sir. I hope we get a P and Birdman interview together. That's what I want to see.
Starting point is 00:44:39 The world want to see that. I just want to see them in conversation with each other. I don't even, I just want to see them talk. I wanted to see on the radio. Because at the verses, we got the handshake,
Starting point is 00:44:49 I was wondering we was going to get on the tour. You have been in the room with them? Yeah, I have. I have. Well, I was on at the verses with them, but they're not beefing. They're not beefing.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Remember, they're done song together, so they're not beefing. I wouldn't even think about it as far as like beef. It's just like because now they can look back at all of y'all and your careers and the business and things they had to get through, them two probably, like there's conversations they can have at the level they at. Yeah, like what they can pour into. I mean, that would be big, but hold your breath.
Starting point is 00:45:21 I just have one last question too. Probably the first viral moment ever. I think, right? And the biggest viral moment was Birdman up here. Big facts. All true, y'all. Are you finished? I mean, I mean,

I was in jail when they interviewed some place, man. But I saw it. You never had a conversation with like, yo, that time you was on the breakfast club?
