He's the first artist signed. He signed 1991. That's cool. He's before me, but we're on the same label. So you know how you were seeing Biggie in one studio and this? Me and him, we started together. Yeah. Like literally infancy.

Like, yo, you just, yo. No, but, so you don't know how proud it makes me that there's kids that don't even know you rap. And I just see you in movies and see you doing things. And I just be sitting back like, wow. And then I tell guys like him that I started with you. He throws a flag and tells me I'm capping. And I'm like, no, I really know him.

We really grew up together. The flag came from saying, I don't know if you know whether or not on this show. I'm pocket watch. I watch pocket. No, no, but I'm trying to say, that's just another flat. Yo. Hey, Joe, but this is the thing.

It's two moments in my life, in my career that I can cite you for and just want to say, thank you, brus. Like, you don't know what it meant to me. One was you put me in a video in your video. Hussein is the key to success.

Me, you, Naz. Yeah. Man, like. You know, on pictures come out like once a year. It's just, like, it's going to be. here forever. I love that, man. We was kids in the arm, but you pulled up to the Bronx. That meant

something, no, that meant something because coming from Chicago, man, one of the things we wanted was just to be heard by New York. And for you to be like, yo, even though he's on the same label, if you thought I was on some weak shit,

you'd been like, ah. No. You just flag back on that. Thank you. Thank you, beloved. Thank you. It's the beloved of all For the love it's love it. I'm going to tell you some shit.

Get me here the second one. What's the second one? Well, the second one we didn't talk about a lot where, man, you practically saved my life. Oh, get the other flag back. Take the other flag up. Yo, yeah, yeah. Yo, Jay, Jay. He got his flag.

Yo, that man really saved my life. Like, I was out on the West Coast with my guy. One of my guys I knew through one of my close home. but he was my guy, and he just wasn't happy with the whole situation, the whole Ice Cube Mac 10 beef that we had, told him we had squashed it. We're doing it. We sitting there doing a commercial. This was the most money I was getting paid ever for something at that point in time.

So we at peace, we like, yo, things is good. Everybody was happy. My God, he from Chicago, we just couldn't hold it. He couldn't hold it. So he started ruffling shit. And, man, it just got a little heated. And I want to say, dead. It's not because

Fat Joe's tougher than anybody. I literally beg for your life. I literally got in the middle was like, please, he's my friend. He's my brother. You know, he, you know, some people take things personal and they finally saw him.

He was on there, saw you, and they was talking crazy, and I was like, no way. This guy, I said, this literally my brother. And I was begging them, because it was the serious ones. I was like, please. This is my brother. Joe, you know, we've been waiting to catch this guy. I said, listen, I can't. I just couldn't do. I just, and basically I stood in the middle like,

please, guys. It's like, I cannot do it, but they, they settled. It was over after that day, right? It was over after that day. But you settled that. Like, like, I'm like, man, we are on, we in California. Don't start nothing. My homie already, because they already, like you said, they already wanted a piece of me no matter what. What? So my guy out there, he's just going off. And anyway, I knew Joe, I ain't even hit it,

but I didn't know everything he did. Oh, no. He did. I knew it was him that said, yo, this can't happen. And because he had a, you know, a relationship. Super relationship. Still my brother. Shout out to that.

And yeah, shout out to Joe. Shout to the Englewood. Yeah, Eaglewood. Us's my family. Eaglewood family was good. That's when Fat Joe the gangster. I was like, this thing is, because he straight up was like, he can't do that to my man.

It was like one of the movies where he used to talk about Goodfellas. Good fellas is something. Hey, once again, I begged him. I was in their mercy and I was just like, please, this is my brother. This is my family. I did that one time for Rich Playa, my best friend. One time they was about to do it and not saying Rich and him ain't real deal. Right.

Well, he was getting into it with a seven-headed monster, a guy who just kills. He's in jail for too many bodies. Right. And I had to jump in the middle and be like, yo, yo, yo, yo, I can't. It's like, yo, fat boy, get out the way. I was like, oh, no, I can't. This is my family. I can't.

I knew what it meant. They real deal. And there's other guys, you know, a Jeffrey Dahmer. And I'm a monster. And I'm sitting there like, yo, listen, please. Let me get it. I said, no. Knock him dead, Ed.

Knock him dead. Y'all Eddie, yeah, and up there. But they go, but they go. The man go, because it's the first argument I ever had with him, right? He goes the next day to Rich and they had blocked on Cyprus and says, if Joe got in the middle, that means you're good guys. Let's become friends. And they wind up being best friends.

Yeah. My man's still in jail, 37 years. But he went the next day, he took it on himself. I said, if Fadjo threw himself in the middle, trying to squash it, these guys got to be good guys. Yeah. And it was all over, you know, staring at each other in the club and a couple of girls. And, you know, these guys, they kill each other over girls.

These gangsters, man, a lot of gangsters in jail killing over girls. I'm telling you, I had a guy, this guy was a maniacate. He's still in jail, too, 40 years. Right? And he was mean, looking at the dirt, this kid straight? No, no, because... But a lot of wars have come over... Of women.

Most of them. Yo, but listen, this guy, all I'm going to say to you is this was a mass murder. He's still in jail, 40 years. He would come to the club and he'd go, he's Puerto Rican. He'd be like, aye. And I'd be like, yo, I... The nend.

He's talking by his wife was bad as shit, too. And she was... Fucking dudes. Yeah. Like, she was loose. So he come on. And then, you know, Jimbo from the barber shop? Oh.

Yeah, he was with the net. Everybody, if his 10 guys, no, no, no, no, no, no, Jimbo. He didn't, yes, with the net. Jimbo won't be around and two more. Like, he would come all. One time I argued with the niggles like, I said, no. I don't want to hear that shit. You're a fucking liar.

She's the most decent girl in the world. She didn't do it. Yes, the Nenna. And everybody knew what that was. What? Somebody was disappearing over the Nena. Yeah. No, I'm no maniacs like that, man.

But you know, common, man. You're the beloved of all, beloved. Let's keep it peace. Hey, man, I got my Palisanto, man. You know, I said, you know, I said, you see what I'm saying? What's that? Like, Spokin Sage or something?

It was supposed to protect us for that story. It's similar to say it's Palisanto. So it's Palisanto, you know, it comes from the trees down in Chile, bring in the good energy, bring it a good energy, moving energy. You know, you guys, I know, I know you in a serious relationship, correct? Right now? Yes, sir. But you guys, you nice guys, you always got the badest chicks because they think you nice guys. You know, scumbags are scumbag.

You come with a smile. They don't calm it. He's the beloved of all. What a nice guy. The beloved of all beloveds. And you palisanto, you know, you know what this shit? He got that new shit out there on the streets, boy. Hey, man.

You know, I got to say, you know, like at the end of the day, you know, I've definitely dated some beautiful women and amazing women. But I think, you know, it was like they respected me as a man. They knew I was coming as a man. I had the love, but I'm a man, too. It's like I'm going to lead the way I lead, and I was giving them that, you know, that realness, man. I'm authentic, man, Joe.

I'm true, bro. I don't be trying to, like, I ain't go to act like nothing for nobody at this point, obviously. But then, even at that moment. But you're just saying you always, you've never been like a, like a bullshitter. You always been a straight shooter. Like, and nobody I've been with, like, none of the women that I've, like, had relationships with it going to be like, damn, that niggas just did me bogus.

Fow. Like, I had the integrity. I mean, I'm a man. I did, you know, some things wrong. You know, but I'm saying it ain't been bogus where it's just like, I ain't been out there like bogus. And, you know, I'm the type that, man, if it ain't working, I'm going to say it ain't working.

I ain't going to keep you going like forever because you got a life. I got a life. We want a little happy. So, yeah, man, I just, I mean, that's, I guess nice guys. How you know what it ain't worked? How you know when it ain't worked?

How you turned to the doctor fit. What you want me to do? Yo, Jeter, we have a real life shit. We're trying to help. Somebody's in the struggle right now. Somebody's watching this shit. They don't know whether they want to be together or not. Maybe he can give us some knowledge and maybe it's time to move on or stay strong.

Yeah. I mean. Seek kingdom. Seek the kingdom. Seat all. Seat the kingdom. and all she'll be at it. You gotta seek the king.

No, man, listen. Man, Jayda just said it. Man, I'll be like, man, I try to listen to God most and foremost all. Like, that's in everything I do. And especially the most important things in life, whether it's like career, my purpose, a relationship.

She was dealing with my family, dealing with how I'm going to go speak on something. Like, if I get an opportunity to speak to people, man, I'm always going seeking the kingdom first. So I think in a relationship, it's important that, man, the reason why I feel happy and great in the relationship with Jennifer is, man, God is first. And we just build from there. We're not perfect human beings, but we communicate and we're growing.

We, like, just trying to be the best children are the most high and still have fun, too. Like, you could be godly. I know you're ready with your intellectual questions, but let's go back to Jennifer. The reason why I love her so much besides her being so talented. but the hard thing she's been through in life and to see her just keep her chin up and walk through the fire and still be strong and still be, you know, that's what I respect about humans the most.

Yeah. Is the adversity you have to overcome in the tough times and all that. And then her, you know, she had it the toughest. Man, I mean, I don't know if it gets no tougher than what she gets. No, I don't get no tougher than what. I never been able to tell her that because, you know, I sit next to her and all the games and all that. And, you know, we always have it fun when I see her, but, you know, she's like, you know, she's a G.

She would appreciate that, man. And I got to say that's one of the things that I was like, man, how this person got, still got light. Light after all, like, losing dealing with what she dealt with. I'm like, for her to have light and be good to people and, like, just still be bright about life, man, that's a, Oh, that's strong. That's a different type of strong. Yeah, but yeah, that's what it is. I mean, I ain't the relationship expert.

I want to know what was the south side of Chicago, like early 90s, 80s and 90s. Man, Chicago, a lot of our people are from the South. So we got something that's rooted in the South, but it's really Chicago is a city. So we got that movement of a city and the slickness and the culture. But growing up, it was like I experienced every. everything from black church to liquor stores, gangbanging cultures. Like, no matter, I don't care how smart you or whatever, you're going to be around gangbanging culture.

We hoops, like. It's just nowhere around it. There's no way around it. It's the one city, well, L.A. too, because I've seen grandmothers and all red cars with red seats with red tires. Principals and schools coming in red suits and blue suits. You know, they, I think, speaking to Mac10, them, I'm out there shooting a movie with him

on thicker than water. And grandmothers is all red and principals and schools is coming, and the cops is throwing this shit out. I'm like, it's like that in Chicago where every is pretty much, how did you escape? I grew up with around

stone, black stones, four corner hustlers, and vice lords. And that's who I was with. And, man, that's what it is. I mean, I don't mean I have like friends that was folks or whatever. But overall, I guess I escaped it because I started feeling like I had something to live for.

So I wasn't going too deep into that. But, you know, me and my guys, that's how we had to make it to a certain degree. But just like we know the stories from, I don't care if, you know, it's the BX. I don't care if it's young because if it's, if it's Atlanta, if it's, you know, L.A., when people start seeing you doing something,

they support you. You coming from the hood, they're like, man, especially doing something good, they kind of wrap their arms around you and be like, we ain't going to let nobody get to this cat. So, I mean, I was part of it. And then, man, blessings, man. Like, what you just talked about,

I could have not been here. I've been around stuff, and I could have not been here, but, you know, blessed by it most times. Now, back to the first flag he threw at me. The reason why I said counting pockets. Right. I meet you, 992, 93.

and I go to Chicago with you, right? And we're sitting down, this is when Chicago, it wasn't even the downtown, it was just the real Chicago, the good times, Chicago. And I remember sitting out there with you and you was like, yo, I'm buying all the properties. And you was telling me your grandfather had properties and he taught you how to buy properties.

And why I counted your money? Because I said, this man, I'm just buying a cheque. chain, a car, hootty. And you was buying properties at that time. Yeah. But, man, really, it was my mother who was really the, like, my father used to say to me, get the land, get the land. I ain't grow up with my father, but when he was,

he would say certain things. It would be like, get the land, man. They can't take the land from, when my mother was like, as soon as I started, like, first album, I ain't really make no money. I'm trying to, you know, survive, right? None of us, right? Oh, yeah. Maybe y'all made nothing.

None of us. Only a fair and full out of time. They went and bought a kilo with their advance. The fucking lot. You're talking a good story. All right. Let me just try and let you know. They had to sign of us while rapping.

I mean, that's what it was. We weren't making it. But my second album, my mother saw that I was, like, getting somewhere. Like, just more than what, you know, like I had before. And just, you know, she was like, man, you don't know how long this is going to last. man, you should invest in some property. And I was like, man, that's good. I started doing it.

And then she was the one that schooled me. And then I got a friend named Mo who got into real estate, who started breaking it down even more. So that's when I really started getting into properties and seeing the value. I mean, I really honestly wish early on I was up on, like, investing in it. Because I got all on the health shit early, like the healthy,

like all that. He should have got down with us. We would have been franchising. We would have been franchisers. I came through the opening of y'all in Brooklyn. Yeah. You know what I'm a dude? I'm going to start smoking this bristcato thing.

What's the shit saying here? Just that you don't smoke. But you always are at a time. I don't smoke, but this shit, look, I'm going to have to buy some of that stock. I'm excited, man. What's it called? Palisanto. Palisanto.

Because you always are headed a curb on everything. That Palisanto going to make some money. Yeah, for sure. We got to invest. I'm going to come out with my own Falassan. You know, I'll be on some wellness, man. That's why we're looking young, huh?

Where are you going to source? Yeah, maybe Chile. It's got to come from South America. Yeah, it's going to be the good one. It's going to be the good one. Yeah, because I got too many. Now, fast forward, how does it feel to win every goddamn award?

And I feel good whenever I see when Thank you. Because I know what you stand for, which you represent where you come from, when they let one of us in, and you just dominate the way you've been doing. It makes me feel. Man, I love that because...

It's been for us. Right, so when, like, let me tell you, when I'm up there, I feel like I'm representing us because we all, we are the tribe, man. Like, we know where we've come from. We know what we do. We've been through it together. We ain't got to see each other all the time.

time to know we just, we from, we just, the tribe, bro. We love each other. So when I'm out there, man, I ain't going to front. When I was on that Oscar stage, I felt like I was representing. I was representing God's, black men, brown men, black people, like hip hop. Swah. Chicago, it was a lot that I felt like, yo, this is what I'm, this is why I'm up here. And my ancestors, I felt all of that.

And I'm like, I'm so grateful that did you feel that way? because I'm like, man, when I see y'all doing, I came in and said, man, I'm proud of y'all, man. This is like, what y'all doing, man, this is like, it offers so much to people. People who, like, need it. We need it. We need the fun.

We need the joy. We need the wisdom. We need to come in, like, in an authentic way. So to see us, us, like, just, man, that was 93, 92, bro. 93, 93. 92. Brah, so to see us, like, finding ways.

in real ways to actually impact life and culture and be doing great things and taking care of our loved ones and families. And, you know, y'all remember the same way. I feel like we all want. Now, I'm going to tell you crazy thing. I wrote my first ever positive song, right? Now, you don't remember this.

You know, I'm gangster fat jaw. I smack your baby at the Christian. And I'm doing, you know, I'm talking all this crazy shit. And I made one positive song. And I went to you. I seek the kingdom Never forget And I played it for you

I felt like Yo, Com is gonna love this shit There's a positive song And I played it for you He was like, that's dope Joe What the rest of the album sound like Like you wanted that raw shit From Fast Joe

I came with the least black man There's that Farrakhan From the million man And he was like Yo Joe what's up with the rest of the album I was like yeah Yeah the album is hard But I came to you with the positive joint

Like, I thought the comment was going to be like, yes. No. He ain't want that. No, he want that Joe crack, fat gangster shit. No, no. And it, but, but, you know, it was, at the end of the day, you was showing the evolution. But sometimes it's like, you know, we all climb and grow our way.

We grow in our own ways when it's time. I mean, for me, it's like positivity ain't got to be like, preaching, man, I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that. In movies, I don't like it. in music. I don't like it in church.

I don't like... Me too. I don't like the judgment. I don't like it's self-righteous. I'm like, man, we... I'm conscious now. You know, like, you was doing the goodness out there, to be honest. Even, you know, like, you know what I'm saying?

Like bringing people on, that, that in itself. But I feel like, you know, I kind of remember when you played that joy, but I wouldn't hear that joke. But you know, what happens, you know, somebody like Karras I won. who had the machine gun in the cover. And we think he's coming again. He's airplanes fleeing. Overseas people dying. Politics is lying.

I'm trying not to escape. That shit was like a fucking rose blooming. I remember I hopped the train. I had the Walkman. And I played that shit. And then he was like, airplane's flying. Overseas people dying. Politics is lying.

I'm trying. I was like, it was like, it was. like a rose. I was like, yo, what the fuck is this? Yo, man, K. R.S. 1. And hip-hop and himself at that time, too, man, taught me so much about who I am as a person.

It's stuff I ain't know. Like, I didn't know, like, even what he was just talking about, or just certain things about Africa. Oh, Benjamin Banica. Man, he's not slowing, y'all. Why is that? Why is that? Why is that? He was going. He was going. And there, even

to be able to break down the books or the Bible when he was Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac was the father of Jacob. Jacob had 12 sons. For real, the knees were the children of Israel. I'm like, man, to get us to be singing that and rapping

that, like, man, that dude just elevated us all, man. Hip hop did at that time. The teacher. He's the teacher, man. The teacher. And he made it sound, but that's what I'm talking about. He made that joint sound good. Like, I had to get to that. I had, it was a point where,

In my music and career, where I felt like I was getting stuff and I wanted to spread the word, but it was too, it was too, like, self-righteous. It was too, like, you know, you got to find a balance. Life is a balance, so it's like... You know, me growing up,

he was my hero, my idol, he still is. But Karras one was God in the Bronx, right? And then Fat Joe... Yes. ...became the new, like, you know, the dawn. We're going double platinum. We're on fire. I used to walk the streets with careless one.

Everybody, teacher, and look at me like, you know, you know, we had attitudes. And I asked them one day, I said, yo, Chris, how come everybody comes up to you smiling with the teacher, teacher, and then look at you. He said, that's easy.

I rap about positivity and unity. You rap around gangster shit. They're going to make you prove you a gangster every time I'll. Yeah. Me, they just smile. I posed no threat. Yeah.

I was like, wow, that shit was so deep for me at the time where it was like, yo, he's like, yo, they look at me like, this is the unified. They look at you like, yo, you still fat Joe the gangster out here. So we went right back to the studio and killed some more people. That's a fact. More babies than Christian. But that's when, for me, I knew like, okay, man, I wasn't selling a lot of records. Joe, you know, I remember walking in a lot of records.

Joe, you know, I remember walking in the relativity records. And it was, I tell people this story. It was, it was bone thugs at Harmony. Fat Joe, I don't know if the Roughhouse riders were performing. Like, Fat Joe has sold maybe $20,000 this week. But bone thugs are sold $40,000 this week. I sold $5,000. So it was like, that board let me know, like,

the priority of the label and where. what was going to be put into my career. So I knew that, man, I got to go on my truth, no matter what, and state who I am because record sales wasn't it for me, like, to be honest. I mean, I did have some great ones at times, but some good ones, but overall, it was like, man, my integrity of what you're saying, like, just putting positivity out there, putting creativity out there, putting that light out there is what, to the end of the day, Some people ask me, man, why are you still doing it?

That's why I'm doing it. That's, yeah, the passion. The ball. Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor Hard Rock Bet. All right. The NBA is finally back. Where's New York at? Right here.

What's the news, 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 did 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. Oh, 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.

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. 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. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas.

And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.

I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too.

Steve Nash will get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball, like, after you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.

So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why is everyone obsessed with romance right now? Like everyone. Your coworker who, quote-unquote doesn't read, is reading romance. Your mom, book talk, the entire internet. I'm Sondjana Basker.

I'm Tyler McCall. And this is Radio 831, a romance podcast. The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse. And what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn, and obsess. We're going to Weathering Heights. Which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has. haunted the romance genre for 200 years.

We're getting into dark romance, age gaps, certain Russian hockey players, and sentient objects, in love, which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There are times when the mind becomes a difficult place to live. This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast, and for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're dedicating a series to understanding the mind when it struggles. I'm joined by doctors, researchers, and those with lived experience.

We'll talk with singer-songwriter Jewel about anxiety. I started living in my car, and then my car got stolen. I was shoplifting. I was having panic attacks. I was agoraphobic. And making it through hardship. To be present is a learned skill, and it's hard to be present. We'll talk with John Nelson about clinical depression, and the brain implant that saved his life.

What I learned is that procedure made me happy because I'm disease-free. And we'll talk with leading experts like Judd Brewer about anxiety and John Hirschfield about obsessive-compulsive disorder and the science of how the brain can change. This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations

about what happens when the brain goes off course and what we can do about it. Listen to Inner Cosmos on the IHeart Radio, Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Agency, the ability to know that we're the experts in our own body. On the podcast, cultivating her space, Dr. Dom and Terry Lomax create a space where black women can show up fully and be heard. I wholeheartedly think, you know, you hit 30. You shouldn't have to share one with anybody.

Mm-hmm. From navigating friendships and healing to setting boundaries and prioritizing your mental health. These are real honest conversations. We don't always get to have out loud. Totally unreasonable with different parts of life, right? Like, oh, have all three meals and make sure you're mindful during all of them? Absolutely not. During one meal, I'm standing.

I'm standing and handing my children food. Because healing, empowerment, and resilience aren't just ideas. They're practices. And this Mental Health Awareness Month, there's no better time to pour back into yourself. Listen to cultivating her space on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm going to try to speed this story, but it's just too relevant. And it's a very motivation story. I say it when I do motivation speaking.

We have relativity. It's me, you to beat nuts, Chi Ali. And they shoot $5,000 videos for us. Right. But we think in relativity ain't look fancy or nothing. we're on to come up. Yeah. And they run in.

Alan Grumbblatt runs in with a video. He says, y'all, I want to show you. I want to show you. There's a group I just signed. A group I just signed. And he puts it in. And his bone thugs in harmony floating in the air. This is just, and I see,

Yo, Alan, this looks like a million dollar video. He turned to run and said, it is a million dollar video. We spent a million dollars on this. At that moment, I knew they didn't believe me like they believed in bone thugs because it takes money to make money. So I turned around the toll everybody. Yo, we got to go.

And I remember some rapists just like, yo, Joe, we got chains, we got cars, apartment. I was like, yo, they don't believe in us. They just spent a million dollars. And at that moment, that's when I left relativity. It was scary because I did have a chain of car apartment in Thrasnick.

And I just went. And no longer than six months later, I signed Terror Squad Records with Atlantic. They gave me a million something dollars, right? I only had 2,000 in my bank account with a gold chain and a car at relativity. But I say in everybody's life, whether you're a beautician, you're a farmer, whatever it is, I feel like there's this invisible train that comes in front of you. It's a train, an opportunity, but it seems so risky,

but you've got to have faith and believe in yourself. jump on that train. And I jumped on that train. Maybe six months after that, I signed big pun. So we was really on a raw. But I remember that happened when they showed me that Bone Thugs video. And by the way, Bone Thugs, I love y'all. The theft, those are my most... Listen, I miss my Uncle Charles. Yeah. Y'all, you know, I have my Uncle Charles, too. God bless him. You know I'm fried. I fuck up my own lyrics. Last week. I called him my list. My uncle, Georgia.

Let me tell you, I got to tell you something. Joe Buttons, I see him at the Knit game last night. He asked me one-on-one on the side. He said, your joke. Say the truth. You really thought it was Uncle George? You really thought it was Uncle George and you was trolling? I was like, yo, I'm fucked, I'm fine, man.

I really said Uncle, I really thought it said Uncle George. Joe, he really said George. He was dead ass serious, man. I get my own lyrics fucked up. I know. It's like. They put me on the side. I saw like when you do TV shows,

I'm like, all right, you got to go and it's just a TV track. I'd be like, oh, my God, my own songs. It hurts. It's something to. Hersey in my point. But that train, I hear you on that train like that. Visible train.

That visible train. For me, that's where acting became for me. Like, acting was like... The action. Transition. Yeah, Jay. It was like, I hit a ceiling with music for a minute, like, where I was like,

and what am I going to do? Like, because I was, like, driving to do some super artsy shit. And I'm like, man, These niggas, I released this album called Electric Circus. It was out there. In fact, Primo, I went on tour with Gangsta. He was like, man, I ain't liked this album, too.

We started to I saw you perform and I understand it more. But it was like one of those things where I was just like, man, I'm trying to blossom and do something else. And then I was trying different things. Man, I went to acting class. And then, man, that was that train from me, that invisible trainer. Like, man, I love this. It's something I can work at the craft.

I can do this. Because I wanted to do it when I was younger. I was in the play when I was younger. And my mother, I was in the play. And after I finished the play, my mother kept talking about how good Derek, my homie was in the play. Oh, he was good.

He was amazing. Derek is my brother. That's day one. So, Jay, I was like. I was like. I wasn't no good. Yeah, I wasn't no good. Like, what's up?

So then, anyway, I fast forward. when I got the opportunity to go to acting class, I was like, man, this is it for me. I mean, I love acting as much as I love music. I mean, music hit me in a different place, but I love acting just as much. You know what I mean? It comes across the screen, bro.

This shit is crazy. You know, I like gangster flicks. I'm going to skip a bunch of shit. Jada going to get mad at me, but John fucking Wick. They told you the day you was in John Wick. You knew that shit was going to be ill, right? You was like,

y'all, I'm going to be on John Wick. Yo. But what's crazy, though, is, you know, I was in John Wick, too. So we filmed it. We filmed in New York and then in Italy. I thought it was in like, dope, man. It was like, yeah, we was in Italy for some. You passed them.

Y'all bumped into each other. I said, oh, shit. Let's go. Let's fucking go. Yo, I love, man. The people that checked out John Wick, man, that blow my mind, man. I'd be getting in cars, like you said. Some people don't know I rap.

I getting an Uber to do like, yo, I know you from somewhere. I know you from. One thing they don't know is that common sense. No, they definitely don't know that. Yo, my daughter looks at me like I'm a dinosaur. I'd be like, yo, common sense. She'd be like, his name is common, dad. Like, I said, no, that's common sense.

No, no, no. No, dad. You sound like a dinosaur, dad. You sound like a dinosaur, dad. I'm like, yo, that's common sense. Yo, man, they don't know what. I didn't go for, I was surprised. I just did this whole campaign with BMW,

and they was like, man, we want the campaign to say it's common sense. I was like, how do y'all know? How y'all know about that? There's somebody in there that new. The new, like, that's what the campaign is common sense. I said, damn, I'm going to do this week. We made it fly, too, but it was like, bro, like a lot of people don't know. I'd be in car.

Like, I like to ride in the car sometimes, like just riding around. So I was in there. The car was in Boston, this driver, this dude, a young dude, he was like, I was, you know, I put in my music and start playing on rapping and stuff. He was like, Carmen, I ain't know you rap. I was like, yeah. I had that argument. I've had that argument about you. That means you're a great actor, though.

Man, I'm grateful for that. They see you in that space and it overpowered this space and they didn't know about it. We got to go to, I used to love her. Okay, okay. You knew that was like a lean back when you feel. Finish that bitch. He was like, oh, I knocked this shit out, though, Paul. Like, what was making, I used to love it, where did that come from?

What was the exception of that idea? Because to this day, I mean, we did it in so many Big El-Dibonics and this. Everybody did some version of it. Yeah. But that was like the epitome. Man, whenever God dropped that idea into my spirit, bro, I was geek. I just know no idea. did made this dope beat.

He was dope. He was december of George Smith's, shout out to the OID, bro. Killed that. Yo, I was sitting at home. My homies had just left the crib. And I was staying with my guy, Rahsaan. We had a crib together, like, an apartment. And, man, I was sitting up.

It was two in the morning. I just had that beat playing. I was like, man, what if I made hip-hop a woman? And then I just started writing. And it used to take me, I don't know how for y'all. But sometimes I'll be taking it. I'd be taking a while to write it. Back in the days, it took a while.

Back in the days, you'd be like, back in the days, you'd be busting your bubble brain. Like, what the other thing? Your brain to come up with some shit. Yo, that one started coming to me and that I started, you know, just understanding the metaphor, not understanding, but just getting into the metaphor of it and taking it through the whole ride. And I was like, I ain't going to fun.

I did feel like, damn, this is this is something. Halfway through you was like, yo, this is some shit, right? Like that shit started going, you like, yo. No, man, I was like, yo. And then by the time I got to the third version, it was like, summing it up and got to who I'm talking about, child is hip hop. I was like, man, I knew that it could have something.

It could hit somebody because when I was in that studio laying at my guy, Rassan was, he was like, I could see him through the booth. I was sitting there rapping. And, you know, we're young, so he's going to hit. You know, he's going to hit. What girl you're talking about? He's like, why are you doing this love song? You know, he's like doing a love song like this.

As soon as I said, we don't talk about y'all. It's hip-hop. And they grabbed his head. Like, oh, shit. Like, you want to know what's crazy is. When you came in here, I know how much you love Elmatic. And so we're doing some Elmatic. And similar, I used to love her to Elmatic is over the years,

every time I heard, I used to love her, I picked up something new. Yeah. And I learned something new And I was just like, yo, this shit gets better. You know, like, it'll matter. You can still, like, right now we all could have rap and didn't know the word.

Yeah. The right word, right? Quarterbody Halfway Houston. What the fuck he meant with quarter body halfway Houston? Head for Houston. Head for Houston. Yeah. Cut a body.

Your body. Oh, quarter body, head for Houston. Yeah. You know, it's like, so you could keep, like, that's how the lover was for me. Like every time I heard it, I would hear something new and something new and be like, oh shit, that shit crazy. Yo, what hit me too was like, man, that was the first time I really started. Like, I remember, you know, back in those days, you would have, like, people give you a quote for your album.

And Biggie gave me a quote. And I was like, damn, I'm actually getting respect from, you know, more and more people. But then that movie, Brown Sugar came out. And Brown Sugar was based on I used to love her. Wow, I just do that. Yeah, it was based on I used to love her. That writer, shout out to him, Michael Elliott. He had come to me to write some movie stuff with him,

but I was like a little bit, you know, I ain't know how to do that. We're just moving. You know, I'm just, so he ended up writing brown sugar. Boom. Then me and Erica, me and Erica Badoot did the song for Brown Sugar, which was loving my life based on I used to love her. My love, love you are. Man, my friend.

So I was like, it was like, it was. It was one of those things that kept evolving in a way, like that song. It was a seed that. Yeah, the seed, the seed. It keeps growing. And you know what's crazy is? But being that you're saying that, I'm just, you know, I was supposed to be in the movie, Shaft, I was supposed to be peoples.

What? You know, that act is a big, big, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yo, rest in peace, John Singleton. He was coming to Jimmy's Bronx Cafe every Friday. trying to convince me to be in Shaft. But we was too much on that party like a rock star. We was like, we ain't give a fuck.

We young, rich rap niggas, big pun, double plat. We don't give a fuck. John Singleton was in the trenches. He was with me in Washington Heights and fucking bummy apartment house. He had no business being there. Like, yo, Joe, I got this role. You could be peoples because, you know, what's my man

the famous actor? He played people. You see how he was speaking with a Spanish slang? Yeah. He ain't Spanish. No, no, no, no. He's from D. Fat Joe was supposed to be people.

Bro, you turn that road down? Dumb motherfucker. Like a dumb motherfucker. Every time I watch that movie. I was supposed to be in glory. All right. I believe it. All right.

What's something that happened to you that you had an opportunity and you was like, fuck, Dad. I'm gonna stay in D-block with your aunt. I ain't doing that shit, but now when you look back, You're like, damn, I should have did that. Have you had one of them? You got some of those. What?

It was a ball boy for the Chicago Bulls from 11 to 13. MJ years? NBA. Yeah, he's seen Jordan debut, right? Yes, I've seen Jordan debut. First, I got to pitch that for it. You know, I might be putting them on blast, but I think Calip was a boy boy for Orlando.

Magic, too. I never heard him say that before, but... Jack, he caught Shaq. Yeah, Jack, Nick Anderson, all that, Dennis Scott. Yeah. Cali was the Bullboy. He played the NBA star in the movie. How did that fit?

Yo, that was, bro. That was a movie. We love basketball. Yeah, we... Joe, I know you love basketball. You had that fun. We... Fastball was my life.

I wasn't. Bro, that was like a dream, a dream, a dream. Dream inside a drink. Because that was my first lead role. And then I'm playing a basketball plan. And then I'm like, in the movie, I'm playing against D. Wade. I'm like, damn, I'm trying to really do something.

I can't do nothing with him, though. The dude is strong. And then once I was driving, you know, the scene was like, you know, I'm going to score. I was supposed to score over the White House. So he's sake, I'm scoring over him. And then just by the third take, he just smacked that shit. I show you what I really do to this shit.

I said, damn. But, man, that was amazing. That was amazing experience. Queen Latifah, I got to give her love, man, because she, you know, the producers was looking at other people. And then she was like, I think he can do it. And the producers really believed him. And I had a tough time on that movie because it was my first lead.

So at one point, man, they was thinking about kicking me off because I wasn't getting the scenes right. And, man, it was crucial. And then I did this one scene. And they ended up being like, okay, cool. And it wasn't even, you know, it's like the story you hear about, I mean, I ain't going to put myself on that level, but the story you hear about Al Pacino and Godfather, you know how.

No, I ain't hear it. You know, Al Pacino from the Bronx. Al Pacino, he from the Bronx. That's right. That man is me. He doesn't. He's from the Bronx. Yo, that man is me.

But listen, let me hear this show. Let me hear this story. So Al Pacino, while they was filming the Godfather, the studio wasn't really. happy with his work. They was like, this dude ain't delivered. So. As Michael.

As Michael. So the director, he decided to move that scene up where he, you know, where he first shoot them dudes where the gun is in the bathroom. Oh, you're the cop. Yeah, the cop. 38 in the bathroom. He moved that scene up because, you know, they were watching, you know, when you're filming the movie, you get to watch what they call dailies.

You watch what y'all shoot every day. So he said, I got to move this scene up so they can see how cold this dude is. And they see they move that scene up They said, make sure you throw the gun Yo, that's... A menzo and them, they told him, throw the gun. Y, wipe the dad, throw the gun, he threw the gun. Yo, just him, the tension when he's sitting there

when he's sitting there with them. Yeah. The tension right there, like... Oh, man. Appuccino, man, shout out. They beat him up. He's his shit. He had the...

His shit was broken jawed and he sat down, yeah, I understand this and that, went in the bathroom. Killed him. But I got to tell you something about. by Queen Latifah. Queen Latifah's in the studio with Kooland Dre one day. I'm hanging out with it.

She looks at me for no reason. Since, you think you fucking tough. She pulls the knife out. She, you got to... She chased me around the studio with a knife. Come here, motherfucker. You ain't that tough. She had one of those.

You ain't that tough, motherfucker. She started chasing me around the studio. I see, you're on Latifah. Please, Queen. Please she don't play that shit. No, she's chasing me. She's the truth, bro. She got an, I chase fat Joe out the studio story.

And in fact, because they had already had Alicia Keys in the movie, the director was like, I don't know if I want to see them, but the castor director was like, check them out. So I did the tape. And then they called me back. I was so deep, man, my first callback. And I was flying from doing a show.

I landed and went into the audition. Man, I felt that. I was like, you know, I'm about to light this shit up and I did it. Maybe about a couple, about three weeks later,

the director called me like, yo, you got the job, you got the job. Like, I was crying. I called my mother. Then I had to go tell Kanye

I saw that. Brun, let me tell you. I saw that. Hey, as we said, I'm representing us. I feel like, man, to be able to have the theme song, like, for the NBA. What? On Prime, I, you could have never told me, like, me, James Poison. James Poison is a producer who did a lot of Lauren stuff, did a lot of our stuff, played with the roots.

I mean, I'm going to tell you all, like, this is one of, for me, it's one of the, first I got to give it up, James Poison and Corrine Wiggins. We co-produced that together, the theme song, but we, and back in March, we submitted, you know, they were taking submissions from different people. Amazon was, and, man, we got together in the studio and just started creating that, like getting our musician cast together and just, you know, putting together this theme song.

And we knew we wanted it to feel like, we wanted to feel nostalgic before it, because, you know, it's like Amazon, doing something new with the NBA.
