Only 1.1 million in a short week. So I'm working on it. I'm working on it. Yo, what up, y'all? This is Joe Crack the Dawn.

Your boy, Jada. You know what it is, the Joe and Jada show. And we have a very special guest. You know, we like the, we bring variety of guests, but they all golden. individuals. And today we have a very golden individual. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for our brother with his phone ringing and all that. Airy Spears, make some noise.

Yo, what up, what up, what up? What's up, my brother? You got to let me have a second to geek out for a minute. Because, you know, like my best friend over there, you know, we came up on y'all, man, you know, in the hip-hop thing. And, you know, I ain't know until I found out Joe hit me up

was like, yo, I need you to do me a solid and do the intro for my upcoming album. I was more than happy to do it. One of my favorite rappers. But I never met you until today. And I'm telling you, I'm fucked up because I'm literally sitting next to, hands down, one of the greatest emcees of all time.

Like you in my top five, dog. And every time I do Vlad or any kind of show I talk hip-hop, I go my top five, no particular order. This guy ain't shit. And I always see to show me love, though. This guy, you know, Eric. I say Jada, Hoves, Nause, Biggie, and Rock Kim. Nah, we ain't going for that.

This guy ain't going to shoot me, damn. Let me tell you something. The reason I love Jada the most is because it locks, is unity. They there for each of. This guy is fucking diabolical. He's been sitting next to me in this show. I start watching old clips of the show, and I said, holy shit.

There he goes flaming me. There he goes. I didn't even know. Become gyro step. Which is hilarious. City, Bob. Yeah. But listen.

No, that is, die off. No. It went viral, but if I listened to the way I scripted it. Oh, you scripted. I told them, no. Listen, can you listen?

You're a legendary coach in the rock. Legendary coach in New York City. You won plenty of tournament. You got A-listers out of the wazoo on your roster. Now, if you was to happen to play, I'm just saying, the way you're golden, the legs that bented it in the eighth one,

of the world and all of this. If you was to hit him with the year, you know the year old street movement, boom, boom, boom. But if you were to hit him with the first one, when you saw that what you said. Then the lay up, you'd be unstoppable like,

it fucked me up because for a dude is a rapper. And I don't be super nuts. It was comedically on point. What you talking? It was comedically on point. What? Because I didn't even know you had the Kenny Smiths.

Oh, my, you know. You know. You know. So I saw a picture one day And I saw the knees Moving like Yeah, and I was like Oh, I didn't know Joe was built like he was injured

You know what it is? He says it me He's doing business with him and being with him He got a few different walks Right I don't know if it's depending on his mood I don't know depending on I mean he might have a good call this day

Nice super bags coming in Right Might have been you know Might be one of the days I mean We have fluctuated Leapleaping. But some days he got different walks.

Can you agree with me, mate? You got different box. I got different ones. In the house, I got the Sherman Hemsley. Oh, you do that? I do the waddle back for me. No, no, for real, though. Like in the house, I'm walking to go eat some shit or go see the movie.

I got the Sheldman Hensk. That's in the crib. Sheldman Hemsley. The Sherman Hemsley. How are you going to do George Jefferson like that man called him? Shelman. He was calling me Ari. I'm fried, man.

I fucked, man. I fucked up. From the language to the legs. Listen. Listen, let me tell you, so much. Let me tell you, Ari's. Let me tell you, Arias. Yes. Let me explain something to you.

You're one of the funniest guys in the world. I appreciate all your contributions. Everything you do, I believe, is hip-hop. You always represent hip-hop culture. That's a East Coast culture. We got to fix the Ice Cube. borderline violation, right? Because Ice Cube, he and this show,

this is the love of the culture. It's the preservation. This is like the national preservation forest of hip-hop. And whatever that means. And, you know, Ice Cube, living legend. Do you ever, is it just jokes with you or do you ever feel like... Listen, let me be clear.

Did I miss something? Let me, we skip the whole thing. No, we're trying to, I'm doing the Jaded Kiss, right? I'm trying to fix this. Let me be clear here. First and foremost, I never attacked Ice Cube the man. I never attacked this character.

And first of all, my whole point was this word hate is being so overly abused and thrown around now and unless you have an opinion that's favorable, you're a hater. No, I'm opinionated. And sometimes in my delivery comedically,

I'll be a little bit brutal. But at the end of the day, I'd never question his character. I never question them. as a man. And listen, I even gave him his flowers and said, yes, he is a pioneer, a trailblazer, an icon in hip hop, especially with the West Coast.

I'm just not a fan of his artistry. And by that, I'm just simply meaning, listen, man, for me, my musical palette, my hip-hop palette, I'm an East Coast dude, man. But I like, I like Snoop, I like pop, who technically is from the East. But nonetheless, just because I'm not a fear of that does not mean that I'm a hater.

And if I'm being really specific, what I was really speaking to was comedically, acting wise. Because I just feel like, and listen, I know it's all about getting the bag and the money and I just feel like with sometimes artistry, a rapper can't do comedically

what a comedian can because that's a muscle. That's an instinct. That's in our blood. We eat, sleep, shit, breathe comedy. No more than I can go in the booth and do what you can, better than you. You know, I saw T.I. do some comedy. He was actually pretty good.

Okay, don't go there. Your opinion. It's your opinion. My opinion. But the comedy community will tell you otherwise. Because here's a problem. Here's a problem. If you're going to step into another genre,

you've got to humble yourself. And T.I. approaches comedy with the same bravado he approaches rap. That's a different aesthetic. Yeah. Humble yourself. I agree with you. I thought T.I. was funny, right? And I'm, and I may die one day.

No, no, no, but I may die one day of laughter. I don't know if nobody had a heart attack of laughing. Because I'm the guy, they threw me out. The movie theater, Eddie Murphy Raw. I went over there with the whole projects. Out of the whole projects, the security came was like, you're an asshole. You're the one that got to go.

I'm the one making the most noise in the movie theater. They threw me out the movie. I am a sucker for a laugh. Like a sucker for a laugh. So I thought, see, I was funny, but there's levels to this shit. Well, I even, I'm going to admit something here, too, that I've been noticing. I've been looking to it and say, you know, you know, and hip hop is all about competition. Right.

So you've got to convince yourself, you're better than every other rap or whatever the case. speak, be. And so there's a bit of delusion and whatever. And so we start the podcast

and the first thing I do is start shooting, you know, like I want to smoke with all the podcasts and I realize, I got to humble myself a little

because we just started this, even though we're the rookies of the year, but I can see where people can look at it and be like, yo, this guy.

You know, but this is just my heart. I've always been like a warrior, gladiator to come out there for the smoke. But I realized The podcast's a different space.

It's like everybody's smiling at each other. Nobody got smoke with each other. So I'm thinking, top five dead or alive. Who want to jump out? Where's the smoke? Who we got? But that ain't what it's about. It's about having an opinion and bringing something to the people.

So I get what you're saying with the, well, T.I. Yeah, because, I mean, you're right and wrong. It's different kind of, it's different kind of smokers. Like, behind the scenes. It's behind the scenes hate and smoking with this. But I don't think this ain't even out. You're just, we born when this space. Well, at least I am.

I mean, if you tell me podcasting or rapping, ladies and gentlemen, this is our last show. I like it. But, you know what I mean? The only you could do both is, you know, the people start thinking you taking their jobs. I don't. So you've been feeling a little way behind the scenes?

you know, you're just being voistrous. I'm just watching them from the side. Have you ever dealt with this? Because you're one of the most liked. Yeah, I do. MCs of all time. Have you ever dealt with this? I am, but I ain't.

When it's time to go 300 Spartan, then I'm not that liked as I am when. And just so you know, outside of them. It wasn't just cubed that jumped on me, 50 jumped on me too because of that. Because of the joke I made about 50. You know what I mean?

See, but 50 and them, they'll beat you up, Ares. I'm just keeping it real. Maybe Ice Cube is regular. I'm, you know. What's you wrong with this guy? No, no, no, no, no. No, I'm giving it a buck.

You run into them guys in the airport, they might do something to you. I had beef with them. Well, that's cool. So I know what the beef is. Is it one thing for us to just like, certain guys you don't play with because they're going to jump up.

Listen, I love the comedians. It's no thing with comedians. Joe, Joe, Joe, I don't ever. pretend to be something I'm not. You know, I ain't an Evans' nigga. I'm a huckstable. But best believe, I keep some dudes with me too. The old Jews.

They're going to have to jump out. A team of Jews. I'm telling you. A team of Jews. And I'll sue a motherfucker in a minute. Yo, Fendi. Fendi, we got royalty in the building. I ain't no Fendi snuck in there. We got us trump.

We got a studio audience, correct? We have a studio audience. By Arias, I'm just trying to, I got to be honest with you because you're my guy. You're my. I'm on my fuck with you. Yeah. You know, I advocate for you every time I can

because I think you're hilarious, but I do know where that could go wrong. Well, of course. That one. The ice cube, you know, it is. They're like, that one could go wrong. I'm promising you. You put hands and feet on people, too.

Why you just act like he don't do that? That's a super fact. But it's not about that. He's a comedian. Listen, let me tell you the joke. It was almost harmless. I was talking about how, you know, anytime,

they make a brother playing a movie where he's a scientist or a computer tech like 50 did in the movie with Stallone. I thought it was called, but they was in some prisons and glass cubes. And I said, you know what the difference between 50, the rapper from 50 to computer tech? I'm a computer tech.

I'm a computer. I'm a computer. I'm a computer. Glasses. Clark Kent, Superman. If you're a great actor, you don't need the glasses. just do the performance. So that was the joke. Yo, but let me tell you something, right?

I've been such a fan of comedy where I believe comics should never and could never be canceled. So, like, the moment they fake canceled Dave Chappelle, I started going in and shows to perform at his show. Yo, Dave, you in town? I want to come out and do a couple. Because I believe

comedy is the one sweet spot in life. whether white, black, Asian, whatever. Yeah, should be. Where they could talk about whatever the fuck they want to talk about. I love it. Like, you know, that's how I feel about comedy. And so that's how you must feel about it too, huh? Listen, three of the greatest quotes ever, Dave Chappelle,

you don't know where the line is in comedy until you cross it. George Carlin, you should know where the line is in comedy and deliberately cross it. Patrice O'Neill, God rest his soul. Great comedy leaves half the order. and it's laughing, the other half horrified. Wow. So that's the credo. That's what they said.

I live by. Yeah, man. Are you from the cloth, man? Who would you say ushered you into the game? Who was like a mentor? This guy came in the game at 14. That's his. I think that's the, he made history.

There's nobody else who ever. Def Jam 16, Showtime at Apollo 17. So what I'm saying is who, I was an 80s baby. So in that era, you know, prior to the explosion of Def Jam, Hollywood only allowed one nigger per decade. So it was like, you know what I mean?

It was like... Definitely. A Nick's Nick's in the 60s. And what's my man named? Dick Gregory, really, in the 60s. Prior in the 70s, Eddie in the 80s. And then by the 90s, Def Jam hit.

And now Black Comics was everywhere. But Eddie was my dude. It was my inspiration. Because I know he started at 14. So I was like, if he did it, I'm going to do it. How does it go with comedy? Is it like rap or whatever?

Like, how do they determine who's going to get the bag? Right? Because there's so many funny comedians. Like I did Hollywood, what did I do? Squares. Hollywood Squares. Now Hollywood Squares. What's your man?

Family Fuel. Oh, I want to go on Family Fuel. You should take your family, man, on there. Or the rug or D-Blanc. Let's go. You should, we should set that up. So we go on there and it got Fluffy. Oh, Gabriel and English.

I didn't know much about him. And then they turned around and said, you know, this guy sold out Dodgers Stadium. Yeah. So who determines who's going to be a big boy, who's going to be the underground, who's going to be, you know, in rap music, some guys choose to be underground.

But they're like, yo, I don't want to hit. I just want to be the purest. And then some people like me, you know, commercialize. Some people might call that sell, when I have a record like what's love? Who determines... Well, in terms of, if you're talking about just straight movies and TV, the gatekeepers

to those is, you know, right folks. They run that. You know what I mean? If you talk about more like stand up in the grind, that's on you. You know? And a lot of people always go, man, you should be bigger, you should this. Listen, my mouth is my biggest attribute, but it's also my biggest detriment.

You know what I mean? So it's like, I say a lot of shit that sparks controversy. I'm a hater, I'm this, I'm that. So, you know. It works for you. It's working for me, but it ain't. Who took off that you was like, you know, listen, I don't know.

Who took off that you was like, why are you lying in the, no, I'm not lining them up. I'm just, who took off? There's some dudes where you just go, you know, I just don't understand. Like, there's no sense in this game. You know what I mean? There's no, there's no logic to none of this shit.

You know, the people that are where they are deserve to be there. Kevin Hart deserves to be there. You know, Mike Epps deserves to be there. But, you know, at the end of the day, you just got to play this bullshit game, man. You know, I feel like if I put it in boxing terms, you know, or let me put it like this. I got Michael Jordan dreams, but Dennis Robin habits. You know what I'm saying?

I'm saying? I should be Madison Avenue. Bob, Bob, but I like porn, stars, and liquor. So, you know, I got A-List talent, but my behavior and some of the things I do and say might be, you know, like I said, my biggest detriment. Like me and you, we got to talk maybe in the next podcast about Will I am and what he said with Jay-Z and Black. Like, who, I mean. I'm staying out of that. Yeah, but you got to. I mean.

I got to stay out of that head. You get into that. No, I'm going. I'm going to definitely got something to say about that. I don't. You ain't got nothing to say about that. But my point is, them guys became huge, right? They beat me for the Grammy, all black.

They beat me for What's Love. What's Love was like number one in the country, they beat me for the Grammy. This is before Fergie, right? Once they get Fergie, they start making world music and all this shit, and they take everything. Right?

But those are guys that went out there, they surprised me when they were. selling 10 million, 20 million, this, not saying the music ain't good, but that's what I mean. Like, you're seeing somebody leak through and you was like, whoa, but to just give you some gems or some knowledge right now, because we're talking, even though this is funny, but we're talking about some serious shit, I think you figured out everything. You just answered it. I think if you analyze this video, you can make certain changes to catapult you to the next

level. Just look at the words you said and just make some adjustments. You know, I think part of what puts me or what's going to put me on this path is doing stuff like this. You know what I'm saying? Like for once upon a time ago, I was against the whole social media putting stand-up clips out. I was against that. But then I was like, you know what, man, I took a page out of Matt Reif book. It was like, let me hire a videographer and let me, you know, pay to play. And because I did that, I went from, I went from, I'm a lot of, I mean, within the course of three months, I went from 300,000 Instagram followers to 1.4.

You know, my Facebook jump from 300,000 to 1.8. So, you know, and people is funny. Like, I always say people, most people are fucking idiots. Because people will say shit online like, man, all he do is crowd. Do he ever tell a joke? And I said, listen, man, you don't give the key of cocaine away for free. I'm giving you a sample of the product.

Once you like the sample, now come to the show and pay for me. The key, I got to tell you this. I got to cut up your food for you to eat like your mother did when you were a toddler so you don't choke. Certain things is common fucking knowledge. Why not I got to tell you this? That's crazy. Man, he's funny. All he does is impressions.

So I'm 36 years in this game and all I know how to do is dunk. Man, I sit down in the studio sometimes. Like I heard some shit somebody said, you definitely don't want no part of this what I'm about to say. he's not responsible for the next line but somebody said they're not like us I forget who it was said that it wasn't mixed right somebody said yo that wasn't mixed right right I forget who

James looked that up right now because that's important somebody said yo it wasn't the music wasn't mixed right and then some people agreed with the person Rodney Jenkins Jerkins, somebody agreed with them and said, yeah, you know, it could have been mixed better, right? But all we know is that they're not like us

is a smoker. That shit tilted the whole hemisphere, right? And so when I get in the studio with producers and they start to talk about a smash hit record, they'd be like, this snare wasn't right, the 808. I'm like, yo, bro, no one gives a fuck. about what it should have been

or how professional it is the fucking record's number one it's a fucking it and I've been in there in the studio with producers this guy didn't use the tinkerbell right he didn't yo my man who gives a fuck

this shit is number one and so who was that DJ Vlad said what well listen Vlad's no but the engineers agreed with him they said Kendrick sent that shit in and said I want it out and a half

an hour. So the engineer was like, yo, I couldn't even mix it. It was just, it was a good, it was a smash hit. He did the best he could and that shit went out there.

So he actually was right. I didn't hear it like that. When I hear that shit going crazy in the club and the stadium and everything going crazy, I'm like, you're going crazy? I'm like, you're going to say, yeah. I didn't know how we were supposed to.

The person, no, because why did I come up with that scenario? You know, I'm fried. I keep telling you showing me. We're done on the off-fri. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new?

Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a podcast. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And 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.

Think and think about tomorrow. Papa, spotcha. Biggie B then drop you. Chris, keep it real. Keep it frank like Sinatra. Something like that. So I'm not a rapper. But I, you know what I?

I can respect that. And I'm gutted in this new generation. These niggas is garbage. And he was using the Bia voice a little. How do you feel? But I don't really have it like that. How do you feel when you go into, uh, in enough people have Jack Biggie's voice that he don't have to be that accurate.

Like, you know. But when I did it. Every fat dude came up to me with Biggie voice. Yeah. I personally, no disrespect guys. Let me, if you want to learn something right now in hip hop, I think I've been in it for a long time as a fan, as a rapper, don't jack nobody.

Their style, their voice, their swag, you're wasting your time. Do you know how many guys I met that were fucking dead nice? They only had to be was dumb, and they might have been a superstar, but would they come on? And they're doing the voice. I don't like nobody sounding like nobody. That's why when I get called the old head for going, yo, why don't you like this new generation?

All you niggas sound insane. The same melodies, the same cadence, the same flow. All you do, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-ba. All you niggas sound the same. But it was always like that. No, no. If you have, listen, if you,

in the 90s. Tretches. Tretches was rhyming like this. Do y'all niggins. craziest. If you look at every video at that time, every rapper from anywhere was doing whoever's been popping, they've been jacking

these people. If DMX Tretch had that move, if DMX was, you know how many guys I've seen come in the studio with a dog thinking they are? And those guys didn't last. No, at all. So originality was a thing back then. Oh, no.

Very much of the thing. But now it's commonplace to be the same. It's crazy. But I do believe that this new generation is a lot different from my, and I'm not trying to hate on them or talk them down. I just say that they're looking more for the bag or the lick. It ain't so much culture. It ain't so much, oh, yo, this was the legacy, this is a legacy.

They're like, yo, for some reason, everybody. I don't know if it's like that in comedy, but everybody think they could be a rapper. They think this is the easiest job in the world. Everybody. The guy at the Target, the guy who works the front desk in this building, the guy at the deli, the dudes on the corner. Everybody think that rap is just the easiest shit in the world.

And they could become successful. But a lot of people feel like today it is because it's garbage. The shit is just not as potent as it used to be. It's garbage. So the dude that Target can be a rapper. stepped on, baking soda. I'm telling you, if I really wanted to, I could do this shit.

But my passion, my passion for excellence won't allow me to sound like garbage. I try to tell, like, guys similar. I try to, we're not so offensive. But I try to tell, like, my nephews or whoever try to rap and all. I'd be like, yo, it's so much easier for you. And we had to guard rock Kim.

You know, even if that dad, Joe, I discovered Big Pund, but I went to the school of Big Pund, meaning we double platinum and the parties outside and we're the hottest. He'd be like, fuck that. We write bombs today. There's 90 degrees and everybody coming in the Benz is in the truck. Yo, we're going to Orchabee. He's like, fuck all that.

Crack, we're writing. And so I went to the school of Big Pum, but he will bust your bubble. Like, the way we used to rhyme when Big Pum was alive, it's not even healthy for your brain. But you find a way to put 50 words in one loose leaf thing. One of the most classics ever, that diddley, didily, hilly. This is exactly what I'm thinking of while I'm explaining it to you. Right?

It's like when we did that song, it was like so much pressure to put every word together, everything together. And now you got to have some swag, some melody, something. It's definitely easier now. Listen, man, I sent out a post one of the first one. time where I said, Biggie's niggas bleed should be a tutorial for anybody trying to rap. Because with that picture he painted with the melody and the pace of the song, you thought you was looking at a scene in a Martin Scorsese film.

I mean, it was vivid. And I'm like, that should be a, if you're going to be a rapper, you have to, you should have in real life. I can't say much. Yeah. In real life, I can't say as much as him because they was actually part of the team. But, you know, Biggie was my man. And I seen the Scorsese pitcher in real life.

You know, I was in his house hanging out with him in Brooklyn. And this, he just got lit. But I mean, like, just got lit. He was like, yo, Joe, come to my show. I think it was Rosalander to the Palladium. I got a show tonight, this and that. And Biggie was like us. Hockey shirt, shorts, whatever, this, this.

And, man, when I seen the pictures of that party, where he had the salmon suit on with the gators. I seen him transform into that character. Not saying he ain't the real deal, but I seen it with my own eyes. It shocked me. I knew him and I couldn't believe it. Like, he did so much for the culture of, you know,

taking, you know, if you think about Biggie, everything was underground before that. So a song like Mass Appeal that was straight hardcore beats, preamble and lyrics from Google, rest in peace. That was a hit. And that was playing on every radio station. And it was like hardcore shit was the hit.

And then Biggie turned it into like taking those samples and making it a super hit. Right. So his vision to rap on those beats and to take it to another level, everything about him, it still. Oh, boss blows my mind. Every time I listen to Biggie because I just can't believe. he was that good. Like, and its cadence and his flow. It's funny because, again, when people go,

yo, what's your top five? And I say it. And I've seen this online where people go, I don't know how people put big in eight top five. He only released two albums. And I'm going, listen, how much evidence do you need to see to tell that somebody is special?

So what do you think that if he was alive, he would have just fell off? It was going to get better. I don't need eight albums to know what you want. You showed me the first time. So come on, man. That's what I'm telling you, man. People are fucking stupid.

Most people are fucking stupid. Like, you really don't see it. You don't understand it. And because I'll say that, I'll just stick the head. What you want me do? You're staying true to your opinion and you voicing your opinion.

I don't disagree with you. I've had young kids tell me that big he sounds like to the hip, hip, hip, To them right now with the way they rap. You know, the youth is crazy. Look, our heroes, well, my heroes, like I said, I grew up on your, Raqim, KRS 1, you know what I mean? Biggie.

They heroes is Lou Oozzie, satchels and purses. I can't disrespect. Little Uzi on here. That's your opinion. He's my guy and I love him. What was your experience like on Mad TV? Because when I saw you on there, it was like, you were fucking lit, young. It was like one of the first black people on mad TV.

For me? Yeah, yeah. Were you? No, actually, before that, was Orlando Jones, Phil Lamar, and Deborah Wilson. I came in season three. He was one of the litters. Listen, man, I, you know, again, if I could have had it my way, I would have loved to have taken the path of Eddie Murphy, you know,

a couple of years on SNL. and then to the stratosphere. But I didn't get a chance to play in the NBA. I played in the CBA or the ABA. You know what I mean? Mad TV just wasn't SNL. Let me tell you something. But they always got that little white affiliation.

No disrespect to my white brothers and sisters, but they always got like J.B. Smooth. Yeah. He's pretty much a black Jew. Like, he with that Larry David, he must be performing at every bar miss for. J.B. Smooth is Jewish. Don't get that fuck.

You know, they got that Once you get that little Eminem Co-Sign. I'm telling you, that's my man. They love him. The Jews love him. He's down with Larry David. That's his group.

Like Tracy Morgan. Tracy Morgan, keep it all the way hip-hop. Big Go-Chance. Like, I'd be working. No, I'd be bumping there. Tracy Morgan's one guy. I bump into the hood in a million-dollar Lamborghini any other day

with the top of. I don't know what the fuck he doing. there. He's driving by himself, no security. He's all away hood. But for some reason, the white people really love Tracy Morgan. I mean, he had all the right notes. You know what I mean? Saturday Live, 30 Rock. You know what I mean? So he had all the right notes. And listen, I've worked with... So there is a truth to that. Oh,

absolutely. And listen, Tracy, man, you know I love you. We comedians would always go, Tracy Morgan sounds like a New York City drag wave. Yo, shit. Yeah. Tracey. How you doing? That's comic banter, man. He's got shit

on all my eyes, huh? But that's what comics do, man. If he was here, he hit me back. Yeah, I'm Tracy. Let's go. Tracy caught that bag, too. Yeah, he's all dead. That motherfucker got too much money.

Every time I see him, yo, can I invest? He don't even know what. but he wanted to invest it. Every time I say, you want some money? Can I invest? Like, yo, Tracy, I don't need no money.

Now that motherfucker got the super bag. You know, he told me, he said, if he dropped, could we live in the same neighborhood? His shit is bigger than mine. Don't get it fucked up. It's that 30 rock money. I think it was that Walmart money. I'm sure that made the bag heavier.

But NBC, Tina Fey, Alec, Alec Baldwin, 30 rock prime time. I'm sure he had the bag, but the bag. You know, when you lawsuit, it's like, you don't get no taxes on that or not. You get the whole whatever you get. But he said he calls a copse on his,

if he sees his brother and sisters in that neighborhood because they don't belong there. He'll call the cops like, yo, they're outside. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. Yeah, how does it work when you try some material when they don't lend how you expect it? Just throw it out or?

No, you just go back in the lab been rework it. And, you know, I always say a joke is never done because you don't know at what point at any point at night you're on a stage and you say one word that takes it from here to here.

So a joke is never done. You know, big poem was real funny. And I grew up with some funny guys. Yeah. And I had this one friend and maybe you, this is what you're talking about. If he gets you laughing

he will double, triple, quadruple, five times double down. Like, he'll just keep on with the shit where you can't, you know, where you got cramps and shit. Like, you just can't take it no more. He's like a real assassin. You know, he's like the movie killer or some shit like that. He really trying to kill you with the shits. That's my approach on stage, man.

Like, if you got him, you're like, oh, no, I'm going to finish this guy. This guy. My approach is I'm Mike Tyson in the 80s. I ain't going two rounds. I'm trying to tear your head off. That's why I'm glad I came up when I did, man. I got these T-shirts on a drop that says, built 80s stuff.

Because the shit we did back then, kids don't do now. And I think it's kind of made them a little soft. When you went to a show, what one of the shows you went to where you was on the lineup, and there was some other people on the lineup. Say, like, for us, it's a somber jam or something like that. And you're like, yo, I'm going to smoke this. You walk out of there, you know, top dog, you know, that night.

What, who else was on the lineup? It was the, after Def Jam exploded, it was the first Def Jam tour. And it was Adele Givens, Reggie McFadden, me, Bill Bellamy, and Bernie Mac. And Bernie, whof, step your game up. You let that bitch up. Step your game up. Every time I got a concert, Fabulous wants to perform after me, I don't know why.

We got to ask Fab when he come here because I've watched him sit in the car. Like the lineup says Fabulous and Fat Joe and Nellie or something like this. The man finds a way all the time to perform after me. Fendi here. Yo, Fendi, why does Fabulous want to perform

after Fat Joe in every shot? Like, Seattle, Washington. I'm going to ask him when he comes on the couch. Boy, I'm just trying to tell you, is there anybody like that? Then you're just like,

oh, he's trying to, like, because Fab is particularly the one that he wanted, I mean, you're up anywhere. I don't care if I got the number one song in the world. He's going to find a way to come late to perform after. But why is that, you think? Is it, because, is it a-

We got to ask him, because I'm confused, because he's my friend, he's my buddy. I'm asking you, do you think it's a thing where it's like, he doesn't want to follow you or he wants to?

I'm confused. I keep telling you, I'm confused. We did everything from stadiums to little low budget. You know, every last minute, you know,

it's a nice winter day. They call you and they'll be like, yo, somebody's having this birthday party. We got a little bag, pull up, and it's me and Fab, and I watch him in the car

like this waiting for me to go on, perform. The minute I'm on stage, I see Fab come in. He grabbed the mic after me. You know, I don't know what it is. I don't know if he does that to everybody.

He does it to me. Who does that to you? Nobody really, because, you know, whenever I would do theaters with four or five other comics, your placement was your placement. I want to go before rap. I want to go early anyway and rip the gizetrons off

and leave you with no gizetrons. I don't want to go after it. I want to make it for as hard. I don't want to go after. It's just super pause. But let me tell you something, I feel the same way. I got no problem. At certain places where I go,

if they'll be like, Joe, you got a half an hour. That's easier for me. That's hit mania. I just keep bang, bang, bang, bang to they dizzy. And I'm mad at it. You made a mistake if you want to perform after me, especially if they say,

yo, Joe, just a half an hour, 45. I'm just coming with straight hits. You know, you said earlier that, you know, They did something to me last week. They didn't do nothing to me. But I'm out in LA, I got a concert, and I knew it was a mistake. So, like, they put me before somebody,

and I was like, oh, this is a mistake. I said, because I'm about to tear the pain off this bitch so bad that this next person will perform after me, and they're legends. And I was like, this is a mistake. Like, but I ain't say nothing. You know, you know what you're talking to. for him, it's like playing double-dutch.

You got to try to jump in. Because even when I started the States, you said with that, you said verbal, you said verbal, a rebound position. Either or. Yo, me and Norrie, if we go on vacation. You feel what I'm doing well, man.

Yeah. Because I clearly was off the runway, and that niggas said, and then here's the thing. So let me, you earlier said you'd love to laugh and you take a joke and all that. All the time.

Do, does anybody ever comedians? Do you like, don't fuck what, like, you know what I'm saying? If somebody tried

to fuck with you, would that bother you? Nah. Okay. That's the job. I wouldn't. Because I wanted to say, man,

you got the blackest fingers I've ever seen, you know, you got trick daddy fingers. They're similar to the paint in the eyes. Okay, there you go.

We might be cousins. To-s-s-cha. You know, these guys are too fun. Tushie. You might be gone. Oh, don't fuck.

Tush. T-old be stereotyed. He got me stereotyped. I can't walk the teeth to all of them. He got me with the Euro. He got the die-up. Bollico. I know when this premeditated. That was it.

That was, that was, that's only in the back of me. That's only in the back of me. He said, you know, whatever you want to use the Euro are Joe, it's over. Like, yo, your motherfuckers, plant that one. That shit was too incredible. Does anybody ever disagree with the Euro? No, I agree with you. Yo, that shit was crazy, my name.

That was the hero. I watched that shit. I said that. You know what that shit was dying? You do got the hero. You all I looked at that. We might have to set up a celebrity game. Let me just to see if you can hit somebody with it.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. First people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was. 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. but we 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.

So even if I got to laugh my way at myself to the bank, I laugh it. And to answer you, I went to the Beacon Theater.

I'm sure you've been there before, right? And it was, I think it's Joe Torrey, but I was late. And the worst thing you could ever do is walk in a comedy show late. And the man caught me and he wouldn't let go. He was like the pit bull. He was like, yo, that's one of my worst fans, though. Like, they beat put the spotlight on you like Reggie and, um, right.

None of the professor. Yo, this guy chore me up in real life. You talk about Joe Tori? He said, in the back of my neck, it's got Franks. Joe Torrey is one of the top. He got a good 10 to 20 on me. And I'm still sitting down trying to play it off laughing. and the whole fucking beekman is laughing at me.

He kept going. Joe's one of the dudes, him and D.L. Huley, who I studied in terms of going, all right, telling jokes is one thing, but there's certain aspects to the game. Crowdwork. And Joe is vicious. Joe once told a dude, he said something about his mother. And the guy goes, hey, man, don't talk about my mother.

She's dead. And Joe said, I'll go fuck. I'll dig the bitch up, prop up against a tree so I can talk about it some more. Oh, my God. Whoa. It was in his hometown. Yeah, I mean, it's dribb to say some shit like that.

That's a little bit too much. Listen, when a heckler, when a motherfucker is drunk and heckling you, there's no such thing as too much. Because drunk people turn into suicide bombers. They're not afraid to die. So it's going to be you and me. I mean?

Man, that's a lot of humor right there to handle, bro. But he fucked me up. He said he can squeeze the donut out of my forehead. He was going crazy. Damn. Front of the whole shit. And you just stayed there for that? I had to, man, I got to be a good sport.

If I walk out, that's, that's like the guy, you know of the guy, the CEO guy, who's with the sidepiece up at the cold play. If he don't run away and he stands up here. They caught him like that in the cookie car. He might as going to just finish the concert off. No, no, no. It was obvious because he panicked. Exactly.

He panicked. He was there like he was having a work meeting. No, Fendi. He went under the thing. He made it out of him. Make it obvious, it should have stayed there. He started there.

He would have been a normal white guy with a normal white girl. If he would have stayed there, it would have been better than him trying to duck in the whole shit. He fucked his own shit up. He panicked. That's what I'm trying to say.

Joe Tori got me. Oh, you're saying you had to say. Rapid fire. Rapid fire. Everybody got to stay there. You got to handle this shit, sit down. You know, yeah, you fat fuck. Fuck your brother this.

Yo, Tori. You can't, you run. Yeah. You're trying to run. You're running. out of that shit. Yeah, shit is even worse. You're right.

You're done. What happened? They said you had an encounter with the dog backstage in L.A. BMX. Oh, shit. Oh, man.

Yeah, this was back when, you know, comedy albums was a thing. So I went to the JZ concert at the Staples Center and everybody in the back, you know, bust rhymes and snoop.

And I was trying to get people to hold up the album and be like, yo, support my man. Did it do, so I saw X. And I was like, yo,

he said, And so I go into the liver into the locker room and there's one entrance in, one entrance out. 15 niggas came in there behind them and then the security comes in, slams the door and stands in front of the door. And I'm like, hey, I was just wondering

if you could do some joint my... Dog, my voice. I don't know. I heard you. What I mean? My mom's voice. I don't let me hear it. If it's good, if it's not... If it's not... And let me tell you something, man. I've been black my whole life.

I grew up, you know, I didn't grow up in the projects, but I grew up poor. And that's how I knew where my level of blackness ended. This thing was talking to me, and at one point, he pulls the razor blade out from under his tongue. And that's the first time I saw that. And I'm like, how is this nigga talking? And I'm not cutting himself. And I went, yeah, my niggum ends there. Yo, my niggum.

I'm black up to a point. That was it. Let me tell you something. Your man, DMX. The stories I got about DMX, he probably got more. He was down with him. But, yo, DMX, man, he was the trip. He was the real, real trip.

He did Mad TV. He was the real deal. DMX, man. Yeah, I played his mother. We did a skit when he came off the road, and I'm in the grand outfit with the gray hair and the glasses with the chain with Tim's on. And so he's like, yo, these bitches. And I mean, they don't let me fight for me, Earl.

What I mean? And I was like, your son, relax. You're going to talk about these hoes. So it's just me and him going back and forth. Like, yeah. I thought it was crazy story, right? It's going to lead two questions for me, right? This is crazy.

It's insane. It's an insane one, right? But it's the truth. It's uncapable, right? So I got a friend, right? He passed away. We used to call him Joe Bentley because he owns so many Benzons.

When we go to Miami, we used to have all these drop-top Bentley. This guy had too much. many bentons, like an Italian dude too much, right? He died, you said? He died, right? But I'm just telling you this story because I thought about it on the way here. I was like, who would be?

But anyway, so this guy must have been the original capper, because you know, everything I say is true. These people just ain't have an incredible life like this. So they can't comprehend the shit I'd be saying, right? So this man was the bigger caper than me. So every time he was so rich, but every time he would tell me stories, I'd be like, he was full of shit.

He told me he used to fuck, sit, share. One day he picks me up in my house in Miami, he pulls up the Star Island, share opens the door and the boostie and this thing. He pulls the ass, walks in. Shit, you can't believe, right? So the man tells me

that when O.J. Simpson was in the Bronco, he was in the airport with the private that O.J. Simpson is his man, right? He was the one waiting for him, for him and A.C. Green to come on a private breakout. This guy, he's telling me, out counts. But the point is, the man telling me all this shit,

the whole time, I know, yo, Fendi, I know he's, I know he's my man, he's filthy wits, but the shit he was telling me, I could not believe, right? So one day it's his wife's, birthday. And he says, yo, we're throwing his wife is named Nicole.

Joe Bentley, his wife is named Nicole. So he says, yo, we're throwing her birthday party in my other house up in like where Trump lives, Palm Beach or some shit. We pull up. This shit got white horses. The guy had too much money.

Right? I go with the terrorist squad. It's me, Wemmy, Pistow Peter. This is why I got witnesses with this one. We go in there. OJ Simpson is in the house. So Remy and Pistow started smoking blunts with them. They're having the best time with OJ.

C. O.J. was smoking? Smoking blunts with Remy and Pistow, right? Remy says she even got a picture of that, right? So I go like, these murder two people, smoking blunts is easy. Yeah. You're right. You're absolutely.

The moral to the story is when they came down to cut the cake, happy birthday Nicole. Joe Bentley puts the machete In OJ's hand And he said, you did it, nigga, you did it And OJ started chasing him around the house With the fucking knife Somebody got, y'all got to get an animator

And turn these stories No, I'm telling it. No, no, shout out to Mr. Commodore. That's what we need. Mr. Camador just already started. You seen the shit he did? He did like when I robbed the gym, He played it over.

He's white-faced with blonde hair, fat belly out. He's doing to Charlie Murphy. But listen to what I'm saying. OJ starts chasing him around the house with the knife. You say, you did it, man, you did it. The fucking... Who would be the O.J. Simpson of 2025? If somebody killed their wife or something like that.

Who would you... Who would be the O.J. Who would stop TV? What are he talking about? Who would stop TV? What is he talking about? If they was in the white Bronco chasing them, they might allegedly kill their wife.

In 2025, who's the celebrity? Any celebrity. Any, no. No, that's murder and fame? So you think any celebrity would have the TV going crazy? Yeah. So you ain't got one pick. O.J. wasn't even a big celebrity when that shit happened.

He just was O.J. My pick is Tiger Woods. Tiger, because you got a white girl. It got to be a white girl. Right? To make this shit go crazy. And the white people... Where did this come from?

I thought he had a question for you. I do. Here's the question. The question is, I was setting them up. Who's the OJ of this? Who's the old... Who's the old... A celebrity did some...

Allegedly did some shit like that. Who would every channel turn on to... Anybody that killed two... But when you say that element, now you talk about the white girl. Does it have to be that? element? No, I'm just thinking about how crazy it can get. Will Smith.

From Slap to Murder. Will Smith running is crazy. Oh, no, you might be... And Jazzy Jeff is driving. Jazzy Jeff is... And he got the orgs called. You see where I'm mad. He's DJing while he's driving. And as he's driving, it's in West Philadelphia,

born and raised. Oh. Because I'm thinking Tiger Boys got the... White wife, he's golf. The white people watch golfing. Because the white people love OJ. That's what made it so crazy. Right?

Yeah, but it's 2025. Black men murdering white women don't have the same cachet. Yeah. Yo, the views of this ain't, yo, this is out of control. Let me tell you one of the funniest stories I ever heard. This thing is, fair.

You did the Mike Tyson at Eve at the awards, and you was like, yo, you got to take the base out of the voice. Chill, Mike, chat. That shit. I told him that story. I don't know that story. Well, one day Mike was talking crazy to Eve.

Like what crazy? Out of this world, right? Like, picture out, eat your kids and I'll fucking your ass. Not like that. Not like that, but, man, no, he was saying that. Mike and Randy happened to him. And you think you thought you were fucking up.

He must have looked in like a steak. Instead of, you know, when you see something You thought he was going to fuck you up? Listen. Listen to the story. You know when you see something and you say something in your mind, he was doing that,

but it wasn't in his mind. He was just, whatever he was thinking, he was saying it. And me, Stows and Luch is like, somebody got to, somebody got to be the crash dummy. Then we got to hawk. Somebody got to get their whole face broke.

And then we're going to hawk them. After that. Sean Don. We did 20 first fingers about 20 million times. Nobody wanted to take the first. Mike was telling that that crazy shit. I want to tell you. I want to,

he was saying that crazy shit to it. And we like, you know, he did that to Remy. But we was in his house. That's after she shot the girl before. That's before she alleged to shot the girl. After the time, he went to his house. He opened the door, ass naked.

Grand Jerry, she can't do that. He opened the door, ass naked. I was like, you might. No, no, I see your mic. You're all right. You're doing that. Yo, you gotta have heart

to tell Mike Jason like, yo, my man, throw the towel on, man. And I'm with some allegedly... You got his house, though. Yeah. I'm with some alleged... He was like, yo, Joe,

Nobody even had that shit right then. We should still have the sticker. We was like, nah. She got to go with us, Mike. Yeah, that shit was crazy, man. No, that shit was crazy, man. Oh, it takes a lot of courage. It's almost like a guy at the movies with his girl,

and they rap into his girl, and they disrespect his girlfriend. They tend deep. You know you're going to get your ass with. A lot of these guys are cowards. They won't defend their wife or they girl or shit. that, but the guy that does, he gets the beats. Well, sometimes the girls are the reason why they get in the situations.

Because she get mouthy and start doing a whole bunch of extra shit. Ooh. Did you beat that? Let me tell you something. My wife used to force me. This is when we used to have 100 gods. You're a real nigger. Take me to the club tonight by yourself.

You can't really just chill, huh? I'll arrest some shit today that say you're going to make time for yourself. You're going to make, got to make some time. But wherever you go sometimes is it like, because for me it's like sometimes if I go, if I'm going to Miami,

I'm going to Vegas, New York, that's like a vacation. But if I got to go to Mississippi, oh, straight word. Man, I just like niggas and read. Yo, listen, man, I went to North Dakota last week. Oh, you've been to North Dakota.

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, 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.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. I'm going to ask you one last, Chris, when's the one time you stepped in shit? You just said, holy shit. Comedically? Oh, that's easy.

We ended the first deaf comedy jam tour at the Garden. And at that time, before the clip that I did, eventually that went viral, $14 million. I was at a radio station in San Francisco and I did... Some went viral back then? No, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about later after this moment. And I did a JZ, DMX, Snoop, rapping.

And it went viral. But before this, the garden, I didn't write it down. I just thought I'm going to wing it. And I'm going to just go off the head. And this is why you go, you have to have respect for what you do. I bomb so horrifically.

And as I'm walking past a kid Capri's table to dudes are standing over there at the DJ booth and one of them goes, I don't know if they said it on purpose so I could hear it, or just the timing.

He was like, man, that nink was got it. And I had to walk back from the garden to the hotel Sheridan on 57. I felt like Will Smith and I am legend. There was no cause,

no people. It was just lonely. It was me by myself. It was the loneliest walk. He was like, change, gone come. So that's what I went. You know what, dude,

you got to respect this shit. So I smoked the blunt and I wrote and I just I wrote the lyrics out and cut to that's when I did it at the radio station and it went viral. Fine. Yeah. You know what? He just reminded me this podcast, there's certain guys you can't really big up

like that, right? There's some people I big up and they try to diss me. Like Kit Capri, I call him one of my top five. It wasn't good enough. He's on his Instagram. We got to discuss this. This is this. I see him at Ray DeJon's funeral. I see, yo, kid. I can't even big you up.

Like, I can't even big you out. I call you the number one on my top five and you still got a problem with it. You on your Instagram, like, yo, we got to talk about it. I'm like, you don't care. I can't be. It's certain guys I'm realizing on this podcast that you can't even big them up.

Because somehow that turns into how are we going to turn this into some other shit? Right. I mean, I got to ask. Because now I just hit me. I got to ask you question. So when most people go, there's dudes that do battle rap,

like loaded bucks and murder moot. For some reason, a lot of battle rappers can't make successful albums. And then I'm going, and they also go, well, a lot of guys that are successful in making albums,

can't battle rap. And I go, when you think about a guy like Jada, one of the hardest MCs ever, if you had to battle rap, like, you know? I can't do this. For real?

I think you could, though. I could, but I can't. They possess a special thing with that. And, I mean, matter of fact, I might could, and they might be able to make classic albums. It just once the people start saying, you know, the battle rap leagues can't make good albums, and you know the regular things can't be baddoll.

I maybe can't have you pushed me to the middle. Or the bag was out of, because they never say who win, whoever you just, the win or the loser is, to the individual's ears. Like, they never just put a thing up, airy, 50 rounds, kiss, three, right?

It's just saying, you was there or you watch the link, you come outside, your band might think you won, other man might think I won. So if the bag is right, there's no, what you got to do is win a good round and a half. I think that was, I think that was the first. You get a round and a half, you're, you could be, how many rounds?

Is it three? Three. But it's really an art of that shit. They can keep starting over and know how to come back with the art. I don't, that should take a lot of practice. I would have to go to the, I would have to go into camp. See, from the outside looking in and just, as a fan, you just go, you know I can do it.

I probably could, but I ain't going to just step out there and stay up. And then my question to you, Joe, is. I want to help answer that, too. Okay, but let me ask you this. I would think, like, if there's so much potential, money and what if they were to set up like a pay-per-view and go we would love to see Eminem

verse Jada, fabulous verse another MC, like that, and that never happens really, except with the versus thing that just happened because of COVID. The thing I'm trying to tell you is to be careful with 50 cent in them is... I didn't get like the

no, I'm just trying to tell you... Are you here? This hip-hop thing, right? It's good. Well, the guys to get the most respect, they have unscathed

resumes. So nobody ever raw fat Joe. Nobody ever beat fat Joe up. Nobody had with, all the guys I ever beefed with, they never got one up, right? 50's part of that. Frame of thought where no one gets one up on him. Right?

So you got to understand. These guys got these type of, like, egos where they're not trying to take no type of hell. So with the battle rap, ain't no professional rapper like a professional, you might find a Frajo Star, you might find one of them. You ain't going to find

a top tier rapper trying to battle for any amount of money Jada against Eminem this, they're not doing that shit. Because nobody wants that blemish on a record. You know, and it's the same way streetwise with rappers.

Once you catch that L, and you You on video? Look, they, look, they were terrified at the same night till they seen him get beat up one time and they had him on film. After that, they was trying to rush him everywhere he went. Arizona. These people were so terrified.

So once they see you catch that L somewhere where there's battle wet or whatever the case may be, good luck walking around the same way you walk around. Now, let me go back to that original question. The truth is, there's a lot of artists out there that don't know how to make a hit record. Don't ask me why. There's a lot of artists out there

that don't know how to make a hit hook. Don't ask me why. There's a lot of artists out there that don't know how to change their flows. There's a lot of artists out there that's considered the greatest lyricism of all time that never could pick a good beat. Don't know why.

It's like, well, you come to comedy, It got to be like a chamber. Does he rock the crowd? Does he say funny shit on the spot? Does he have premeditated shit? There's a criteria. For some reason, everybody's not born with that chamber with every single chamber. And I watch the, I mean, the greatest, you know, if you want me to say a name, which is not right.

But there's been some of the greatest guys that we consider the greatest, rappers of all time that didn't know how to pick a beat or didn't know how to really make a hit. And so some of them hid under the cloth of, I'm underground. You know, I'm underground. I don't really want to make a hit. You know, I don't really want that kind of success. I don't, I don't this, but at the end of the day, I think rappers, like I started out, underground, digging in the crates.

I think it shows growth if you're able to make a song like, who shot you and then do what's love? You know what I mean? And me, I used to tell all my crew digging in the crates, I used to tell them all, y'all came in here to be a superstar. I did not come in here to just be underground. Not pointing them out in any way, but just saying, there's artists that just can't do everything.

And there's some artists that haven't had the luck. Like you, you're beyond talented. Everybody knows you beyond talented. You just ain't have no Adam Sandlin your corner. You just ain't have no like, like, you know, you ain't has somebody with that type of power to say, this is the guy. You know, so you, similar to us,

you got to fight your way to where you got your spot. We still fighting. One of the greatest lyrics from you that I loved. It was at that time when you said, what's everybody so mad at the South Pole? switch up your style, switch to Southball. I was thinking about that today. That was me.

And he borrowed me. I was... Jada, I was listening. That was my original. That's my line. Google. Yo, Jay. Jayda.

Go to Charlie. We'll be right back after this commercial break. Hold on. That's my line. I'm following everybody so mad at the South Pole. Learn how to switch your style up and go Southport. Yo, Jayda, let me say it. But you open your mouth.

for. Better reason for me to just open your scout more. Ooh. That's me. Let's not get this. I mean, we ain't got all time. No, no, no, no, but I gave you that. I gave you that shot up. No, yeah. On a super smash shit bracket.

But it's Bridget who came from Thugget out. Then he threw it on a message. Once again, the crossover. Let me explain to you. Right. The point I was making, right, is at that time,

everybody borrowed. No, I didn't, I'm just making sure he got to know where it came from. He might have set me up with that shit. No, I swear to God, no, I swear to God, you were the only person that I heard say that. Well, his shit was a little underground. Yeah, his song was it.

My shit was smashed. No, but I still gave him the props shade I was listening. I don't care. I'm like, but it being the biggest song, I just don't, you're not going to debilions. pride me of being a part of you. That's all. But I did big...

He didn't mean, I love you. That's a big record, make it rain. But let me explain to you, right? I traveled around the whole country. I did this thing. I think it was for Bud Light. And in every city, the star of the city basketball player would come out.

Right? So if it was Memphis, it was Zach Randolph at the time. if it was Philly AI. And we would host every one. What I noticed that the whole entire country, from the east to the Midwest, to the West, to the South, were only playing down south music in the club.

One time, New York created hip-hop. That was no longer that we was not running the game. The West took it. We wasn't running it. that South took over the game to the point of of I got to be deaf, dumb and blind to be sitting in the hottest club with the hottest ball player,

not to notice this shit unchanged on us. You can't come with the boom back and think you're going to pop one off. It just wasn't working at that time. The DJ got to spin with fluidity the same shit that's rocking. So the DJ playing nothing but the down south shit. So I'm in Memphis,

and the guy goes and says, let's throw it back. He throws on the rock buildings and the building the night. Oh, the problem with that was that was actually number one at that time. He said the throwback.

The throwback of the day, rock building in the building the night is because they're so used to hearing nothing but the dirty South winning all day that even though that record was the hottest shit out, they called it the throwback. Same with New York. New York was really, really cocky.

there was a time when New York, you listen to Hot 97, and they'd be like, yo, what's playing outside of the five boroughs? And they'd be like, these are my confessions. And then, they had that shit in the choke hole to where they wasn't

playing that. So according to the line, why are you mad at the city? You got to switch the Southport. You know how many New York rappers was which they get switched? He did. No, no. Because at first, they get mad at you. You figure it out. he get upset.

No, he's getting to the bag. The nigga made it down south here. That's what's ringing right now. So all my New York colleagues, furious. I'm reading the Source magazine. Oh, how could he rhyme on something like this? Next thing I know everybody's everybody's the 808 rocking like this,

but they was dumb mad at me when I first did make it rain. They were like, yo, how you can rap on that? And then everybody is just a new norm. Then New York starts sounding like the dirty South, to be honest with you. if you're going to keep it a buck because they were like, yo,

we got to make one of these. So in other words, being that he was the originator, it's like you, Elvis Presley did it, but he was Big Mama Thornton. I guess so. I big DeBong.

You know who Big Mama Thornton is? No. She wrote, nothing but a hounder. Black woman. And then Elvis took it. You know, but no,

she's the real. Well, he spit a bar. He didn't write, My son, brother. Be clear. You spit a bar. You know, and that shit went, you know, Baker Rain, one of them classicals.

Don't get it fucked up. This is crap. It is the first line of the first verse, though, huh? Yeah, you're in. Nah, motherfucker. Jada kids. Jada kids, I'm going to hire a comedian behind the scenes. I might hire you.

Give me some Jada kids' jokes. This guy. Oh, shit. You tried and you lost. I thought we were in partedness. You tried. 48 hours. You tried.

You tried. You were unsuccessful. You tried. You talked about how black and shit. No, no. That shit was, you got the baseball. That was a,

that was a draw. That was a draw. That was one and one. I know, but that was off the top. Nick, I would never ask you for directions. I asked you to get to the Bronx. You send me to Kentucky.

You know, the way you all over the place, man. No, he said a fraud, but let me tell you something. He hit you with that shit right back. I said too shay. Man. He gave me my father.

I thought that was a great one. Dude, sometimes when you speak in your regular voice, especially if I've been smoking a lot and drinking, I get a little raspy. I've been working on it. You know, let's get it, baby. Congratulations only. 1.1 million in a short week.

So I'm working on it. I'm working on it. Let me see if my... Hold up. And I ain't animated, like say a bust the rhyme. The real shit you get when you break down my line. Head that to the fact. I'm playing a bunch of time.

Tom Zappa, Mindfluing on pot coach. I'm supposed to be number one on everybody list. Oh! I love you, Tony Suprano. I used you on the intro to the album. The fucking course you did. You know what the fucking Dale? All the guys are the fucking the dying.
