Angela shares what it was like growing up as Rev Run's daughter and the moment she recognized her father was a rap superstar.

You think of somebody that whenever she puts her hand on anything, it flourishes, it thrives, it does well. Think of somebody that does a lot of brain. You know what I mean? It comes from a good family, a good background. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Angela, Renee, Sim. My intros is getting better and better.

That was a wonderful intro. I must say. Right on point. Is that new to Renee Simmons? Or it was like, I don't think it could be new. I don't think she. Probably, we never heard it.

But I don't think she is. Angela Renee is my artist's name. And Angela Renee is my full name. Angela Renee is your artist's name. Yeah. Also, that's what that's, I. Different levels. I heard it two, three times this morning.

And I'm like, all right. So we run in with that. Yeah, that's my real name, though, because Renee's my middle name, no. Oh, all right. That makes sense. I had to ask you, dude, I was nervous, yo, James, dude, do I don't say Simmons?

Or do I just add Renee? I don't want to mess up here. You got to say Simmons. Yeah, you got to say Simmons. This one of them things, y'all, two-time of felon with the peppermint sweet. Thank you. What a quay.

Well, make some noise for two-time of fellas. Two-time of fellas. How many people can get a two-time a fella to get them a peppermin-stee. You missed that Jordan. Boy, you was like they left without me, huh? Yeah, that boat sailed. Oh, that boat sailed.

That boat sailed, man. Save it for Thursday. Missed out. Listen, you grew up royalty to us. You know, we look up to your family so much on another level that you were just born into this role. Like, your family is pretty much in hip-hop. because I take hip-hop like it's a religion to be honest with you.

And so there's four fathers, there's people who we wouldn't be here if we wasn't for your family. Right? And so when we see you growing up, it's like almost like the Kennedys is something. We're looking at you like, she's real tall. What I say now? Not like the Kennedys, man. I mean, on the... Nah.

Give me another comparison, not the Kennedys. The Kennedy's a big... We know they are, but I don't like that comparison. Rockefeller? Not that one either. All right. I understand where you're going. No, what I...

You obviously don't understand. I do understand. We do the fucking shit early. Like, listen to me, man. I know what you're saying. You understand? Yeah. But growing up before everybody's eyes,

and that's even before social media. Yeah. How tough is it to be perfect? How tough is it to, like everybody expects so much from you, everybody just looks at you like, he's going to ask you some crazy things. Is he really?

So I need you to just. Flow with it. I'm going to try to flow with it. I'm doing the most decent questions in the world. How tough is it? to be perfect is kind of a shit. But it's true

that's a question for that. I don't think they want you to be perfect. I think the world wants you to be perfect. I'm by no means perfect. I mean,

it might look perfect, but like on the inside, everyone got their own stuff going on. You know what I mean? So when you say perfect is like to find perfect, what do you mean by perfect?

Like when you, so what I mean? Like everybody expects so much of you. They do. Since you was a baby, we looked at you like, all right,

they're gonna, you know, this is what it is. Yeah. You know, how hard is. legacy. So they're like, what's next for you? How do you compete or like compare to that? And I think the most important thing is like coming from it is not to compare yourself to that. And to just be who I am. And our parents really like instilled that in us at a young age. Like you don't have to even be of

this industry. Like you know what I mean? Like we were never forced into it. We didn't have to be in it. We didn't have to be on TV growing up. We didn't have to do none of it. My parents are like, won't be a doctor, go be a doctor. You want to beat it like whatever. And you could change your career at any point. And you're like, even now, like if I just want to go do something else like, I'm not confined to one thing confined to one thing. Like I don't have to do that. So I feel like being perfect,

you know, your family doesn't, my family doesn't force that on us, but the world has the pressure of saying, be perfect. But no, for me, I don't look at it like that. You know what I mean? Like I don't push, put that much pressure on myself. I just do what feels the best, you know?

In a mental health level, it's so important not to put yourself in that position where you're stuck being and being someone who you're not, just for everybody else. Yeah. How important is it to talk about mental health on a public platform? Very important.

I mean, even Run To, it's like, I'm really big on where do you run to? When you're going through things, where can you run to? What does everyone have? I run to God before anything else. You know what I mean? Like, I got to run before you do anything. For the people that's, for the viewers and the people on the rock, she's stepping in the music now. You got the new song called Run To me.

That's what she's talking about. And you're on it. that is like a very high... I love this shit. And that is like a highlight. I have to say, like... I was saying, Samuel. She was like, yo, I'm coming on the...

By the way, people... There's a long list of... That's what I mean. There's a long waiting list of people, superstar actors who's trying to get on the show and you was like, yo, Joe, I'm coming on this show. I'll be there next week. Don't worry this.

And I'm... I guess I... I assume my royal position. I said, all right. The queen is coming. She's sitting down and we, it is what it is. And she told me she did a song with you. I guess what made you want to rap and now?

Yeah, I would say it's more poetic. You said poetry, right? Because I ain't hearing it. You ain't hear it? You ain't hear it? No, we're going to hear it together for sure, right? But it's spoken word. I mean, I'm a creative and I'm a creator.

and I went in the studio and I went with what came from inside of me. Like, there's other levels and layers to me that people haven't met yet. And so this is another side. Your voice is ill. And when her hitmaker called me, you know. Hipmaker's behind this. Hitmaker, Cortez, but hitmaker got reached out to Jada. They reached out, and they was trying to explain what kind of song it was.

I can't really understand to me. I sent it to you. I understand it. I'm like, oh, no, this is. This is nice vibe. It's a top-down vibe. You know, you're blown in a way-five. You know, you're better than me.

I ask some four-verse. I never get it. You get it. I'm so thankful for my verse. Ain't that some shit. You got a side-pired dead or alive, huh? I can't get this bullfucking and do nothing. That's got.

Ladies and gentlemen, you know that guy. So you just said, you know, I've been hearing that a lot lately. And I appreciate that. And I love that because for many years, I feel like that has gone away from the culture where it ain't just quick fix to make money. It ain't this. People like, y'all, I want to just express myself.

Yes. This is near to my heart. I mean, it's a project I started working on over two years ago. But I have like 12 or 15 songs. I'm actively in the studio. I'm signed with Rough Riders, which is like huge. Make some noise for that big wop in the building. Yeah.

They did a deal with us. Go along. Wine in the building. Yeah. And that alone is just exciting for me. So I'm stepping into a whole new world. But it's something that I've been doing. And I'm actively in the studio and there will be a project.

But we started and we run to. What inspired you're on to? When I got in the booth, honestly, just thinking of life and life circumstances and what's going on in mental health. And like, where can I go? And, you know, Rieza's on the track. The girl's singing. listening to what she was talking about, I'm like, yo, this makes sense for that.

You know what I mean? Sitting there and really thinking about what people are going through, people mask their pain all day. We all do. We're human, but it's like, where can we go?

How do we, like, express it? So it just came from, like, real emotion, raw emotions, things I'm going through, things that I feel like other people can relate to and maybe don't always talk about. But music's a great place

because it's things you listen to. Like, for me, the first thing I do in the morning, I'm on jazz, I'm listening to meditation and stuff. So, like, this is something to me, I can listen to the first thing in the morning because it's just positive

when it pushes me to the next level like what's next, you know? Is there a project? I heard you say you've been working on it but you're going to release. Yes, there's a project. Don't rush the single though. Let the single.

Let it marinate and saute in those numbers. No, we got time for the project. The single is the push right now. That's what I like that. Yeah. The video, you ain't see the video yet, right? I ain't see nothing yet. We got to premiere everything.

We have to show you. Blind, man. Nobody's showing me shit. Oh, we got to show you everything. I'm in the blind. You're in the blonde. Objects appear closer in the mirror or whatever that shit is, man. You know, it's crazy, right?

Because when we talk about mental health, like me, myself, I went through depression for like two years. Got real fat. You know, couldn't sleep. couldn't, you know, I went through it, through it, through it, through it, through it. And the whole time, you know, the challenge ain't even a place, right? So say the first year of my depression, I went, the luckiest thing I think I had about my depression was that I was rich at the time.

So at least I was able, yeah, that help. I was at the Delanoa. I had the bungalow for like, rented for a year. Oh, wow. So I'm just in there, depressed, coming out, pooled new stress. every day. I lived in the Delano in Miami in the bungalow. And I was just like, wherever you go,

you can go to the most beautiful place when you're going through depression. That she can't mask it. It's all in your mind. So I'm saying your mind is like a move of excuse. So it's like you fight in your mind. So I noticed I said, damn, this is one thing you're a gang member.

You got to move out of Compton. Hey, move out of Compton. They won't kill you. But when you fight in your own mind, they don't matter where you go. Oh, you go private islands. I did all that shit. Private islands, all that was still depressed,

still fucked up, still, you know. It's like a Rubik's Cube one day. You got to figure it out. You got to crack that cold. I kept telling myself, like, yo, Joe, you're smart. Come on, figure this out. Joe, every day, fighting myself. Yo, Joe, you're smart, man.

Figure this out. Come on. You know how to get out of this. You know what's going on. Because I knew what was going on, like not only being depressed. I'm losing everything. Like, you know what I'm saying? crew, my this, my dad, everybody's looking at Joe.

He's not the same. He's weaker, this, this, that. So, you know, that mental illness is real. But I told them before, me, he hates what I repeat stories. But it's important, you know, when I was going to see therapy, it was 99% women and me.

I was the only man in there going to get therapy. It was just all women and me. And I asked the doc one day. your daughter. You don't say, why there's no men in here? And she was like, well, these are all women. They got rich husbands that feel like every time their husband leave out of town, he's doing the do.

He's not seeking the king. Toast, he's not seeking the kingdom. You've got to seek the kingdom. Yes, yes. It's real, though. We can't forget that one. Any time temptation, any bad thing, whatever, just say, you know, I'm seeking the kingdom.

Get up out of it. But that's real. I mean, depression is like, they say lack of expression. And it's like you versus you. So it's like anytime you're feeling down, it's like you really got to look at yourself. You know what I mean?

It's like, what am I doing that's not expressing myself enough? What am I not expressing? What part of my life am I not? Like, what am I not doing? Because like I get, I think sometimes and I think so many people even around me have experienced depression and I've been through things

where it's like, what do you do now? Like what am I not doing to get myself to the other side? It's such a push. And so that like, To me, that's a part of like the inspiration behind the music, like, and what I'm putting out right now. Fire.

That's right. You're a mom, a producer, an entrepreneur, creator. Now you're making music. How are you going to balance all of these things? I don't think there's a perfect balance to it. I think it's more about just allocating time. Like, okay, I'm going to put this much percent of time here, this here. It's like looking at your 100 percent and splitting it up and giving 100 percent of

each time of each of those percent. You know, I learned that from a mentor over time. I was like, that makes a lot of sense because you can't give 100% to everything without breaking it down. Like, okay, I'm going to give 20% here. But when I give that 20%, I'm going to give 100% at that 20%.

Do you get what I'm saying, my highest level? So it's just about giving that time when I have that time. Yeah, I don't work like that. Like me, I'm like, crazy. I'm like, crazy. No, no, I figured out. What's your version of crazy, though? I'm not crazy, crazy, but I'm crazy.

But I'm crazy. But I'm crazy. I'm crazy. I'm crazy. But the Chuchin came over here the other day, he sat in that seat and looked at him. He says, nah, watch y'all on the time. And I just think you just, he said, nah, you crazy.

And he did. The first guy made me realize I'm crazy. Because Chuchin don't play like that way. When he told me that, I looked at him, I said. His word, measure. I went home. I said, no, Joe, you're fired. I said, Joe, you fried.

I said, I went away. I said, too chain's thing ass? He said, nah, I'm really figuring. It out, Joe, you crazy. So I got that car when we pulled out of here, head in the jersey, I said, nah, yo, you know, son, Joe, you fraud. You told yourself that after? I'm proud.

Man, because I got, we got a crazy dude that's in this building. He's with OG Juan and Jayzee every day. My man, Golda. I know Goddo since the 80s in the streets. Shout out to Gore. Shout out to my brother, Golda. And Godo is fraud. Okay, everybody knows he's crazy.

Everybody. You know, Gorda. no while, you know he's crazy. Everybody know he's crazy. One day, he looked at him and he said, yo, Joe, you know, you fried. It's the fried for me. When the fried, nigga, the kettle

calling the kettle, the pot, whatever. Like, he said, I'm fried. I'm fried. He messed up the truth. I said, yo, I'm fried. The pot calling the kettle is crazy. You call it. The pot calling the kettle black, bro.

That man hit me with their. Yo, Joe, you know you fried? I said, what? Stupid fried my own life. I got problems. But I got problems. In a good way, though. In a good way.

You good crazy. Yeah, I'm good crazy. But I need that. You know, she's coming. I know she's dropping the record. She's worried she. I want to talk hip hop. Somehow we're talking mental illness.

Yeah. No, no. That's real. That's real. That's real. I know. It's the realest shit. Everybody's going through.

something. I mean, I've seen it. So this is why we talk in mental illness right now, right? So I'm going with, I'm one of them guys, I'm freestyle. I don't got enough, I'm going with the flow. Flow is, it's real.

A lot of people going through some shit. Let us tell you what we're going through so that you, maybe it'll help you if you're going through that now. It's true. You understand what I'm saying? But, I like your hand move.

I like it. All right. Yo, this is hilarious. No, this guy. It's crazy. Finish. I forgot what I started saying. I'm like, right.

Because it's right. But in this business, right like you, you're getting a relationship. You're all over everybody in your business. You can't pick a booger. You go to dinner. You can't pick a booger. This shit crazy, I already. You got flags.

Which one should I'm flagging a booger? Don't throw a flog. You know, we come up before social media. This shit is fried out here. Everything's a problem. A landmine, a this or that. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.

It's none of these people you can put the camera on me. It's none of these people. It's not. I hate 6'9. Like, I hate them. Like, I hate it. Hold on. What is you going to wrong?

Let me explain something to you. Let me, I always got a reason for explaining this shit. I fucking hate him. If he stepped on the landmine, I wouldn't give him. for one kilometer I might play the I don't give a fuck, right? So,

I hate everything he stands for, everything he does, everything. I hate him. The guy goes to jail for three months. I thought maybe my social media calmed down. I said, all right, this pussy in jail that maybe it had calmed down.

This shit just started going wild, crazy. Everybody else, beefing with everybody, everybody talking about everybody. It's like, yeah, I thought he was a problem. I thought he was like the cancer of my Instagram, you know,

of everything I hate in life. And the man goes away for three, four months and the shit get even crazier, bro. So what I'm saying is mental health, when we go back to the mental health, it is, it is mental health. Yeah, it's all connected.

It's all connected. It's all connected because it's fucked up right now. The world and everything that's going on right now is fucked up and, you know, to keep your sanity, to keep your this and then you got to still look cute, you got to do

everything you got to do, you got to be presentable, you got to this, this, this, this, that. That shit is not, it's hard. And I worry about our kids and I worry about everybody out there because it's just so much pressure in so many different ways

for everybody. Famous kids, famous kids. they be killing themselves. It's just the truth because it's a different kind of pressure on them. Yeah, I mean, the spotlight pressure messes with people for sure. I think if you're not built for it or you don't have the foundation,

you know what I mean? It can definitely become a thing that's like hard, especially if you don't have a therapist or you're not seeking like things to help you spiritually. If you're not growing, it becomes a really hard space for kids, you know? So it's tough. We got to keep good people around you

and the right people, great people, matter of fact, around you. And what do you do when you get old like me and you say, y'all, I'm tired? Go to bed. Like your wife? No, go what? Go to bed.

Go to bed? No, no, no, no. For a long time, say Roughrodd is a big crew. Terror squad a big crew. For a long time, I might have talked so many guys off the ledge from doing triple lights. You don't know how many times?

I don't drink. How about when you do see me drink? When one of my friends say they're about to kill a whole town, I go there and sit with them the six in the morning, drinking Hennessy talking them off the mountain, the ledge. Nah, brother, you know, drinking the Hennessy with a mouth about, you know, I did this shit my whole life. I'm tired.

I'm tired. Joseph Cardagina is tired of jumping in everybody's beef, everybody's talking, everybody's dis. for years I had to be like a filter for everybody to talk them off a ledge. You know, and I'm tired now. Like myself, the guy who just been the battering ram of everybody's problems, everybody. You know, my answer. Do you meditate?

No, I don't meditate. I'm good. I'm good in my space. I don't have no problem with my mental illness and nothing like I. You said you're tired. Let me tell you something. I'm creative like you. I draw.

I go in my office. And yesterday I came off the plane. I drew for like, I drew for like seven hours straight. I don't get my fuck. I just put it in my arm. That's your escape. That's what you wrote you draw. All my music.

That's why my music goes. It's so violent. Because it's like, I got to get it out. Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, hard rock, Beth, Florida Sportsbook. It's tourny time.

We were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas.

and then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Yes. You're on. Oh, the ballastro! You got my whole vibe down to see so I like it dark. I have like the mood, the lights down, the blues or like, depending on the mood, I go with different light color, but very dim. And I like to record at night. Like, I'm like

sharp at nighttime. Sometimes a little bit of red wine, tea, yeah. I'll tell you about the red wine, five bottles. I want lots of candles. Even in the books,

the five bottles dead or alive, red wine over here. These guys. I like red wine. That's fine, because I'm better in the day. Really? I mean,

I'm going to go for a revenue. You got guys. It feels peaceful. I look everyone's sleep in my head. You know, beautiful. My music can't sound too peaceful. That makes sense. That makes sense.

I needed peace, but not too. Yo, this would be the one time I'm not a Jada kiss fan, bro. I'll give up on them. I'll break the CD and everything. Because I'm in there, peace, beloved. We are the universal. We are the nicest. Fuck out of here.

I want my money back. Peace for love it. Peace for love it. Yeah. I mean, like, yo! You ain't going to know. I'm not going to tell you what song I made off the camp. Of the peace, off the Valisantro.

That's my God. So you got people like Jill Scott. We got NBI, I got Erica Badu. Salam. You got Salonj. Gena Aiko really inspired me as well. Like when I heard her stuff, like that is an artist that when I listen to it, I used to listen to her, her calm down.

Like, she's like a really nice one. I used to listen to it every morning. And that made me start thinking, like, I love this. Like, this face is, like, beautiful to, like, function at. So, you know, what's crazy lately in my house, they've been putting, you know, in this, uh, smooth. It's a smoothing level of our own beat. Like, Ella May, I think she's the leader of it. Oh, I'm in love.

Every day. I'm listening to. Her album is incredible. I saw her play right now. A hundred voice. You know what I'm amazing. She's amazing. Yeah, but I try to tell Dre, you know, Kool and Dre, you should get in the studio with Dre.

And Dre, Dre would know exactly what to give you. Yeah, I think her and Jay would do some things. But Dre don't know what's going on with Alamey right now. So I hit him up and I was like, yo, El-May been on my playlist crazy lately. He's like, yeah, Joe, she's nice. I said, no. I said, you haven't heard her new shit. Like she ain't just nice.

She's running this shit. She's different level. She's running this shit right now. This album, I listened to it on the plane yesterday. Her shit is crazy. Speaking to my soul, like she just, it's something about her lyrics. The first day, luckiest man, like I know tracks. I listen to her entire album.

Yeah. I'll get to naming them all, but I love her. I like the 100. One, yeah. Oh, yeah, 100. But they got a whole new genre of like, peaceful music. It's a whole new, like,

I've been listening to it about it's doing. I'm telling you. I'm living in Dean's fire too. It's the whole, you sit there, they play that bitch on Spotify, whatever,

and every wreck is better than the next. You keep going, yo, who's that? And there's somebody you never heard that. You go, who's that? Yo, there's somebody that's true. Kill it.

It's inspirational music. Yeah. And it's uplifting. Feel good. Feel good. That's what I, that's, yo, when we're going to hear this, I got it up.

But hold on. I want to, because y'all fucked me up. We did it? Y'all did it. I don't think it was us. Growing up. Growing up.

Yes. Right? Because your dad, I want people to know. A lot of people know you, well, whatever they, what they call,

Gen Cs or whatever? What's these young kids called? Gen Csies. They don't know shit about your dad and all that. They just don't. They know you. A small one's family. They know about you and your family unless they come from like a historical hip hop family that taught him,

yo, this is the man. Like myself, he know about it. You know, just for me, right? When they did the legendary concert where they put up the Adidas, I didn't get to go. My uncle told me he was coming and me and my brother waited in front of that building for hours looking at every headlight that came up the block. He never came. And so we ain't go. And so the other day,

50th anniversary of hip hop, Yankee Stadium to me was the biggest day of my life. We performed, and then I went to the suite with my family. And your pops came on. That she said, and I immediately knew

the guards are here. Like this is another level of like, you know, and you as a kid, what is some of the memorable moments or you knew as a kid? Like, yo, my father's a superstar? I didn't for a little while. I think after second grade maybe.

Because I'm telling you, like, so for me in school, like the kids would always like parents. Second grade is young. Yeah, I guess I kind of remember like the kids, the parents of the kids would be like, can we get such stuff from your dad? I'm like, what? It didn't dawn on me.

I'm telling you until I was at a show. And it was one that my dad, we drove the van from New York to somewhere. I don't know where we went. but I know that we used to sleep in the back of the van. That was like so fun for us. And we would go to the hotel and then my dad would take us to the show. So we'd be on the side and watch.

But there I seen him throw the mic standing in the audience. And I'm like, oh, all these people are very excited to see him. I think it clicked at that moment. Oh, he's like a lot of people know him. You know what I mean? Like it was the energy in the room. It was the standing on the side with everybody. We don't know.

We were so little. But it was like that particular show that I remember driving the van to the show, going to the hotel and then going to the hotel to the show and seeing the energy in the room. I was like, what? And how he was just carrying on and throwing things in the audience. I'm like, oh, he can do that. Like, that's crazy.

It was something else. Watching Jammerster Jay, like, just everything. It was like, we went to a lot of his shows. So when we would be with him, we go back and forth, my mom and dad's house. On the weekends we were dead, if he's on the show, we had the show. We on the side. We were right next to the turntables. It was like, epic.

Now that I think back, I didn't know. It took that show to like, it clicked. It was like my first super hammer. Really? But I didn't see it. It's like, changed my life. It's so dope. I love hearing the stories.

You know, I got this, I got, I got this one better than anybody. How about that one? I'm in junior high school just to let you know how, you know, I performed. She'll only come out. the night. I sung that at junior high school. She's a manned

like that. I'm just trying to let you know where we're at with this, right? Oh, here she goes. Yeah, yeah, Fat Joe son that shit. And so I sit down. It's like a hundred of us.

Well, it seems more than 100. It was like 700, the whole school. And the record at the time, was Kumo D special K, they had that meal, kneel, kneel, so everybody would come up

and do their dance routine to that. Like, that was the shit. They was running the game. And these three girls, I wish I knew than who they were, what they named.

They're in my school, but I don't know. And that shit came on. Your father's shit. When I seen 1,000 kids look at the trip, because the Bronx ran hip,

Hip-hop, destroyed, dominated, king. Nobody else lived. Nobody else got to play. Nobody else, like, Bronx was like, for maybe the first 15 years of hip-hop, it was just the Bronx. Like, it was nothing else rocking. Every artist that was popping, Curtis Blow,

whoever, everybody was the Bronx. When that shit came on, I watched the whole school look at each other and knew it was a new day. off of one play. When that shit came on, the whole school was like looking at each other like

Oh, one was, there we go, or rock box? No, Rock, but it was, I think it was like that. Oh, that's the way. Yeah. But when I tell you, the whole school went like this, and everybody looked at it together

and everybody was like, oh, it's a new day. It's an alien came to Earth. It was AI. That's insane. Like, it was AI. Like, they died. That's cool. We grew up such hip hop.

Uh-huh. You know, from breakdance, graffiti, this, this, this, this, did, that, that, that's so dope. And when that shit played one time, you watched the host, we go. Right, just the energy of that, the buildup off that song is crazy. They just played it. Played it started innocent. No, but the way it comes on.

Okay, everybody looking at each other like. Yeah, it comes on with energy. Yo, in one second, everybody just looked at each other. other was like, oh, it's a new day. Like this shit is over. Somebody else owns hip hop off of one play. And they ain't never stopped. They just took the game.

That's amazing. You know? Yeah, that shit was like, because a lot of times we go through stuff, say you, right? Say you started with a TV show or whatever you. Yeah. I wonder what the girl in Philly was thinking. Yeah. Or the girl in LA, young girl that could relate

or whatever. We all feel like that. He makes music like, you all wonder how to like it or how they just this I actually was there with a thousand fellow Bronx students and they all was looking like one play everybody was like wow it's like all right there's some new kings off for one play my name and d and c is it like that that's the way it is oh that shit was like huh he got one of them I used to stay up and have to put the tissue in the tape and catch him late night and catch the,

that's how I used to catch the scloof. That shit was like the best thing. I'll kill you for that tape. That's dope. Me and P was going to write. Me and P was supposed to do some writing for the rep. Really? Yeah, he was with us.

We were in the student. We was in power. We're chilling, we get the beat, all that. First, we're acting the mad, you know, We question them. We asked them a million questions. Steve Chiland. Now we finish questioning them.

We get the track. Oh, so you question them to know what you're going to write about? We question them because we're still sitting. Yeah, we question them because how many times we go out with the red? We get the action shit. So we ask him the mad question now. We get the track. We listen to the track.

We find out why he wants us to carve it. Like 6 o'clock. I don't know what, something. I forgot what time came. He looked at his wife. It was church town. Oh, it was sneak. He said, I got to.

He got up. He gave me and being dad. We ain't know what that. You know, brother. I said, now I got to go home. I got to go. I don't play with my sleep. My dad said, got to go.

He ain't going to play about his schedule. Whatever he's doing, he's doing. You know, he was the first Fat Joe. He always argued with me about that. No. Did he say that? He said that was his name. Oh, that's his nickname, young.

He said, he said, he said. He did mention that. Was Fat Joe. And fucking Russell Simmons was like, what's a Fat Joe? Nobody give a fuck about a Fat Joe. You got to be like, you know what I'm saying?
