Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?
Starting point is 00:00:09 Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.
Starting point is 00:00:27 We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive.

Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast for no-nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris. Jen, she's an outsider to win the French win. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lennar Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis Podcast on the IHeart Radio. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports and giving you the real story behind the headline.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves. their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear. Listen to SportsSlice on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more, follow Timbo Slical Life 12 in the TikTok podcast network on TikTok. They are beating the brakes off of jelly roll.
Starting point is 00:02:15 He turns around this. I'm sorry, Joe. I can't fight no more. I can't make it. I tried Joe. It's right next to me. He said they definitely not going to believe you. Yo, yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:02:39 You know what it is, Joe and Jada, man. Hip-hop shit for the culture. I was scrolling yesterday. I seen BET's canceling the BET Hip Hop Awards and the Soul Train Awards. Now, we all know our people. The BT, the Hip Hop Awards, so they started switching. I think they let you host to the show. Three years, three years.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Kevin Hart due the last one. So they put a little bit of fluidity back into it, but it was a time when it got like the ratchet awards and nobody was really going and this and that. Then I guess with the passing of Don Cornelius, whoever was in charge of the Soul Train, I guess, I don't know, slip. It didn't have the same fluidity as had other years,
Starting point is 00:03:31 you know, prior to before he passed. So now they're just canceling it. That's like a loss for the culture, what'd you say? You want me to say? You just explain what it would. Do you want you to say? I just gave you the thing. I got a different approach, man.
Starting point is 00:03:49 And my approach is factual. BET, this is a form of gentrification what's going on right now. So I don't know if y'all really want to ask me about this shit right here, right? So BET came up as a community station for black people, right? the urban culture. And our man, what is Bob Johnson,
Starting point is 00:04:12 took the check. He sold it first black billionaire, whatever the case may be. He sold it. He sold it to Viacom and Paramount. MTV and them.
Starting point is 00:04:25 VH1 in them. Little by little over the years, quietly, they've been firing a lot of people behind the scenes in BET and everybody who had,
Starting point is 00:04:36 As some say, they've been firing them and this and this and that. And I know, because I've been working on the BET Hip Hop Awards for three years, shit was like the budget, not for me, but the budget just kept getting chopped and chopped and chopped. And last year, I debuted my single with Calais in the VMAs, and Katie Perry still flying through the air in the VMAs. They still blowing out of the cannons. they still flying in the air. They still got all the tricks.
Starting point is 00:05:09 They still got the budgets. They got the shit. You know. And so I think in the entertainment world, I don't think I know this was like a form of gentrification. They kept underfunding them,
Starting point is 00:05:23 underfunding them, underfunding them. And you ain't got no money to be creative. That's why you was watching the Ratchet Awards and all that. They ain't had no bread. Last year, we shot the last joint,
Starting point is 00:05:33 and I am. They have bread for what they won have bread for. I'm so honored for the opportunity, Connie Orlando and the whole crew that let me host. That was one of the biggest things I ever wanted it doing in my life. You know, I look up, if I never told you, I look up to a Steve Harvey. So Steve Harvey's my guy at media that I want to be like. And so, you know, that made me feel like I was Steve Harvey
Starting point is 00:05:59 a hip-hop and trying to keep it consistent. But I saw what they did to them. They just stopped the budgets. They started. of the rest, uh, firing. I almost said arrested. They started firing a bunch of, um, people who brought a lot to the table. And now we're left with, guess what? This ain't working.
Starting point is 00:06:16 But nothing without no money, no promotions, no staff, no, nothing works. It just don't work. You might as well have called it the independent awards. And so no soul train. Mm. No BET Awards. Uh, but guess what?
Starting point is 00:06:33 We got the VMAs. Those ain't for us. Well, you got, you know, I'm just, I'm being honest with you. I love the VMAs too. I got the VMA but the point is, that's your answer in the nutshell. That's what happened. So they left us with one award, sure.
Starting point is 00:06:53 That ain't really ours anyway. Yeah, but they got the, I think the main BETT awards. No, the BETT regular awards is still there. Yeah. That's still a little topsy-turvy. Oh, no, that's a little. that's the second away. The writing's on the war.
Starting point is 00:07:08 You see everything else falling down as a domino. That's the next one. One little fumble by Kevin Hart. One little joke. Too many. That's shit over two.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And so that's what it is. You know, sometimes, you know, and I got a lot of friends at VMAs and MTV and I love you guys. But, you know, sometimes the goal is to buy your project to suppress you. you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:07:36 so the goal is yo some big company might come and be like yo we want to buy rewind a 10th throw us the billy and then like shut it down like yo this shit got to go we got to keep this thing moving who knows that's just
Starting point is 00:07:52 I take on Joe and Jada yeah save hip hop save the awards let's go save your money yeah yeah what up y'all it's your boy Joe crack It's your boy Jada.

But you seen what it did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Disrupted households.
Starting point is 00:14:49 It was everywhere. You couldn't escape. It was in your family. It was outside your crib. It was on the way to school. It was in the school. It was the teachers was on. Friends, family, family members.
Starting point is 00:15:04 It was crazy. It was everywhere. It was an epidemic for real. I believe. And by the way, I never seen snowfall. OJ. crack in the 80s. What's the time of you on?
Starting point is 00:15:16 Bro, we have a certain age that we could explain to the youth what it was like. So they don't fall for the okey-doke now. It's opioids now, crack. It's opioids, but it's still the same effect. Listen to what I'm saying. Because crack in the 80s
Starting point is 00:15:32 it first caught the fly guys in the room. They start smoking woolers in the club. Free base with the weed. Boom. The fly guy. Like, in other words, being you, Yeah, it used to be a cool thing to do back in, yeah. If it came out now.
Starting point is 00:15:48 We ain't don't know. I'm just sure. Listen. What I did you talk about? I don't get when he came out. This is why I'm trying to say. I ain't hit that man, Mae. You wait me.
Starting point is 00:15:58 You know, shout out to my nigga, Crossy Feast off. I ain't hit that man made, crack. Let me explain something to you. The way they did it to the hood was it attacked the fly guys first. The hustlers, the stick up kids, guys robin banks, this, that. It was fly. Crack was flying. You spent a little $50 and you thought, imagine.
Starting point is 00:16:21 This is where our age difference. I don't, I miss when it was fly. This is why. I didn't, I wasn't there for when it was cracked with fly. I bring it up. All right, I'm missing it. I'm a student in this. Why I bring it up, I went on vacation with Norrie.
Starting point is 00:16:38 And Norrie cracked open some weed. There was $100 a joint. some crazy shit. To me that's crazy. If I don't smoke, for a guy like me, a virgin in weed, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:51 One joint $100, that's like the Japanese whiskey. They got $300 to shop. So my point is, at that time, all the guys that had money was fly. They had records like bass, rah,
Starting point is 00:17:09 do me doma doom, baby. The biggest rappers, at the time we're singing about the shit so they thought they was fly but they didn't know that they was getting hit with that addiction that's so unbelievable
Starting point is 00:17:23 right so crack actually was so addictive it was almost like AI man that we can't even believe AI when you see AI and they be on Instagram these girls ain't even girls
Starting point is 00:17:37 they AI they're selling you drugs pharmacy everything on Instagram and all social media AI. That's how crack's addiction was. They've never seen it before. So you can't even really blame the first guys and girls
Starting point is 00:17:52 who got hooked on crack. Now, if you're talking about your era 10 years later, you smoke crack, you know it fucked everybody up. They selling their TVs. You played yourself. That's what I saw. TVs for sale. Like a wait.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I saw that too. I see, I seen, yo, I had a woman in my building that I promise you, If I do the knowledge, she was at least, if she wasn't a wife, she was the side chick to an NBA player. For sure, she was that bad in my building. She had three kids.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Her kids were beautiful. It's a respectable woman. And she turned into a crackhead. And everybody who dreamed about smashing, wound up smashing for a couple of cracks. It was that horrible. You know, and so much of. an addiction. You know,
Starting point is 00:18:44 I don't use drugs. Never have used drugs in any way, right? Dieter Pepsi's enough. Diya Pepsi, yo, that's my choice of drug. You know how many of my friends I see gamble and they be like they bet that the guy scores 14?
Starting point is 00:19:00 May is here. He bet 10,000 the guys score 14. They took him out the game with 12. That's a drug. Yeah. Huh? Talk to me. That's a drug. Some people's crack. Some people smoke sniff coke. Some people got the
Starting point is 00:19:16 thusi-thusi-B, the pink-cote, the epioids, the distus. I drink diet Pepsi. That's the least drug of choice, right? But my point is, something that bugs me out, even a guy like me, who I don't see me
Starting point is 00:19:32 being in any type of loop. Who knows of me ever becoming drug addicted, right? But ain't it scary if you think about this, a normal human out there, that there's something out there that it's so addictive that it could fuck your whole world up, your whole life up. You just got to try it.
Starting point is 00:19:56 You know, Scott Storch, 90 million. And one year he spent $90 million. And he told me when he tried that for the first time, Coke, not crap. And it was like, it's something. something so addictive in this world that if it hits you, you're done. That's not scared. You ever thought about that?
Starting point is 00:20:21 No. I'm fucking crazy, because I'm the only motherfucker to think about some shit like this. No, I'm scared. I'm telling you, I'm scared. When you see Fat Joe never high and all that, I might like this shit. That's why I don't do it.
Starting point is 00:20:36 You guys don't do it because I know people who have tried it one time in their life and it fucked their whole life up. Same shit with one of them guys. What's Alec Baldwin's brother? What's my man? Stephen Baldwin said Madonna gave the shit to him. He was having a menage.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Same thing with Scott Storch. They was having a menage and the girl said, yeah, let's do it. And do the shit. And Stephen Baldwin set the same shit. He took one sniffing was like, you know, the addiction ain't for everybody. It hit different people different ways.

And me, you know, I always been in that street. that paraphernalia, you know what I'm saying? So I could always relate to Ray more than everybody.

So we're going to say that Freddie Giz's Alchemist's album is Phenon. Alchemist hit me up and said, thank us for bigging them up when we all picked them

Starting point is 00:23:17 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 was...
Starting point is 00:23:36 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.

Starting point is 00:27:41 because you're on the plane, I can land the fucking plane. pretty much. I'm so scared of the fucking plane that I know everything. The short land and street. I know everything about the plane. I'm so terrified.
Starting point is 00:27:55 I've studied everything. Do you notice that when the pilot comes out to use the bathroom, the airlines don't even trust the pilot to be alone in the plane. They get the fucking stewardess to go in there, put the car, but go in there. Somebody goes in there.
Starting point is 00:28:14 While he used the bathroom, the lady or the guy goes inside to sit with the other pilot because they scared this guy might play suicide and kill everybody. The fucking government, the plane people, they don't trust nobody. You never noticed that, right? They don't trust that somebody going to go in there
Starting point is 00:28:30 with a fucking weapon and take the plane. No, I'm talking about they don't even want the pilot alone. There was a pilot that just, there was an airplane that just crashed. India, 767. That's the biggest plane in the world, most safest. the pilot, the last thing he said was, yo, why you cut off the fuel? He asked the other pilot, yo, why you cut off the fuel?
Starting point is 00:28:50 That's the only way that plane's going to crash. So his man want to commit suicide with three, four hundred people, that's the point is we can't trust nobody. So one of them jeopardies, they put, what's the adjutant, Steguc Avenue, 15, 15, your normal person, your normal moms, your normal school teacher or somebody like that, They wouldn't really technically know that was the birthplace of hip hop.
Starting point is 00:29:16 So that's justified, you know what I'm saying? But it's up to us to explain that, right? There's one of the biggest birthplace of hip-hop who worked through the parties there. And it became legendary. But, you know, hip-hop started in three different areas. So it started there. It started in Bronx River. Then it started in my hood, too.
Starting point is 00:29:40 So at three, at three, y'all, I'm not. Yo, kiss, what do you want me to say to you? You want me to tell you, I mean, Shy Rock, the first female MC is from my block. Little Rodney C. Ruby D., the first Latino emcees from my block. Melly Mell's from my block. Lovebuck Stossi's from my block.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Oh, Grandmaster Flash used to play 23 Park. Like, I'm from the Mecca, the Soyuz. There's no, they, so, you know, whenever anybody tries to start some hip-hop shit, They just can't. I'm from there. I'm sorry for you. Is it Sedgwick or is it your block?
Starting point is 00:30:18 No, no, no. It started in three different places. Cedric is where Cool Herk is from, and we acknowledge that as a birthplace of hip-hop, but it started three different, it's bandborder, his flash, and it's Cool Herk.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Those are the three founding fathers of hip-hop. And it started out in the three areas in the Bronx. I happen to be from one of the areas where the, the biggest guys ever did it, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. You know, one day I'm watching Melly Mel playing basketball across the street from my house, and the next day he's doing Chaka Khan,
Starting point is 00:30:53 Shaka Khan at the Grammys beat. You know, I seen them when they all got, the whole Furious Five got their first, they got their first white 190 Benzes, and they pulled up to my block back to back on them shit's like this, and I'm watching it as a little kid, Like, you know, I'm really from that. That's not even what you made me go there
Starting point is 00:31:12 because you put the cat face. It's not cat. There's nothing I could do. I'm sorry. I was born there, the Mecca. But 15 and 15, Sedgwick. That's Melly Mellie Mell saying Shuckercocon. Yeah, Shucka Khan.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I want to get you Shucka Khan. I want to you need a succor car. That's Melly Meli, Mel. Huh? 1520, Sedgwick Avenue? Okay, I'm five paces off. but the thing is that's across the street
Starting point is 00:31:40 from River Park Towers is that's one way in one way out they throw them fucking refrigerators at you off the roof of them River Park Towers
Starting point is 00:31:50 that shit be lucky to go in and come out that's not don't go see some girl at River Park Towers you ain't coming out that's a different
Starting point is 00:32:00 type of thing but yo Jada man Will I am says that Blackthor is a truly This is hip-hop. We got to discuss this, Jada.
Starting point is 00:32:11 He's one trillion times better than Jay-Z. That's how he feels. Where do you want me to elaborate on how that man feels? So that's it. You just say that's how he feels, that's that. Yeah, I came from where you mind your business. I'm saying? I was talking mind my business.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Me personally, I let the facts be the facts, and I let the history determine the self. You had your shot to make hits to be the biggest in the game.
Starting point is 00:32:47 She was a model for a year and a half. I had my shot. We all had our shot at who's the best rapper or who's the biggest rap in the game. The roots
Starting point is 00:32:58 played and are still playing an integral part of hip hop. Right? They all. also crossed up. They're like J.B. Smooth.
Starting point is 00:33:09 You know, they hooked up with the Jewish white guy and they got the lick. They're in. Like, they could do bar mitzvils and all the white joints. All I'm going to tell you is, you never going to hear a rapist say fucking co-plays a million times better than Black IP.
Starting point is 00:33:27 They put that out there. And that's the reason the hip-hop is hanging on a string is they fucking making everybody go against each other. for no reason, just for small talk and clicks and get the most traffic to your thing. If that's how he feels, fuck it, that's how he feels. But there's no way on Google.
Starting point is 00:33:49 You can Google chat, GBT, whatever, whoever the fuck you want, you're not going to find Ove or Black Thought. Nowhere's saying, the backstreet boys is a trillion times better than NSYNC. leave our fucking culture alone that's my opinion too because you're starting off some shit
Starting point is 00:34:11 and then he's going to go be in a state of the heart hills so we're making cars and just don't do that what's called for them if you feel like that that's fine but we need no more nuclear bombs set off in hip-hop unless it's called for
Starting point is 00:34:27 a billion this guy's a rich tech he makes cars you're going to go on the internet view and just saying, I mean, that's his thought's cool, but we don't need to. Think of it. Find me somewhere where a prolific rabbit went somewhere and said, this guy's better than where I am a trillion time. Well, if I say it, right? If you say it, you can't say it yourself anyway. Because even the time, L.O. Kujay's invented goat, it's one of the goats.
Starting point is 00:35:00 But when he said I'm better than everybody, or he said some statement like, I'm the greatest, If somebody says it about themselves is different than somebody, for one, that ain't, the type of music you do ain't even our type of music to just go up there and just put two people against you. He almost lined up black thought, huh? Like, if you think about it. You lined up everything
Starting point is 00:35:23 because what the fuck dude, I got to do with any. Even if that's his thoughts. Save it to your fucking soul. I'm going to move on from there because he might have stopped the bomb shell. A nuclear, whatever the case may be. Yeah, thank you for... The more we put lighter fluid on it, the more it goes.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Let that shit go down. They both great. There's a difference between fucking up and being fucked up. Definitely. You know, I sit with my sisters. I sat there that other day, had dinner with... I was just to marry Jay... MJ.
Starting point is 00:36:05 And all of them. and, you know, I don't think I bother them when I was just hungry. So I was like, yo, where ya at? They were like, yo, yeah, I'm pulling up. I gotta eat some shit, right? But when I had these conversations
Starting point is 00:36:18 with the women, you know, beautiful conversations, but she said, there's a difference between fucking up and being fucked up. You could fuck up. Yeah. That don't mean you fucked up. Which one you'd rather be?
Starting point is 00:36:31 Man, let's... You'd rather fuck up or you'd rather be fucked up? It depends. or what level of... I'd rather fuck up. There's a chance to fix that and you learn from your lesson. Being fucked up is no good.
Starting point is 00:36:44 No way. You know, when we in the world of, is it just me or we in a weird time in life? Right? Like, I feel like everybody's doing bad financially. We've seen the jobs report the other day was like
Starting point is 00:36:56 14,000 jobs in a month. You know, if Biden did less than a half a million a month, they was like, it's the end of earth. motherfucker got 7,000 a month, 14, 17. I mean, if the numbers are correct, people doing fucked up out here. I got my mom's dad of condo today.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I saw that, man. That was beautiful, man. You know, that was the best thing I ever did for my mother and father. I bought them a house, and I remember when I went through the tax thing and I realized that my accountant wasn't paying mortgages.
Starting point is 00:37:29 When I first heard it, I was more worried about my mother and father's house than I was even mine. I was like, yo, they could come take my mother's house, my father's house. So it must be a beautiful feeling, purchase something for mom and dad. It's beautiful, man. It's a blessing, you know what I mean? That we can't take for grin.
Starting point is 00:37:49 It's something you, as a little kid, that's something you wish you could always do. You know, I love that. You know, Denzel Washington, I can't quote him, but he was saying, sometimes families don't understand. Your own family don't understand when you try. trying to win and overcome a generational curse. You know what I'm saying? And your own family won't understand
Starting point is 00:38:13 that you're trying to get to the promised land. You know, financially, generationally, because I think that's the game we plan. We're trying to lay it down. So whoever comes behind us has got a better plan for you. They could afford college. They can afford whatever they want. They ain't got living the projects no more.
Starting point is 00:38:34 and me growing up in the project is such a big family. Like, I can't do something for everybody. I actually think I have done something for everybody in my family different times. But there's a cousin of mine that's probably a third cousin that lives in the projects in the Lower East Side
Starting point is 00:38:56 that I barely even know. I might know their moms that people are telling them, yo, you fat Joe's cousin. You're supposed to be in the big house. They do it to our friends. They'll do it to your friends. Your friends' wives or girlfriends are telling them,
Starting point is 00:39:12 yo, why you ain't got that? Some boys got it. That's your man. You know him. Stay away from them. And that's the difference of how far does that go to survivors' guilt or the success? Rest in peace, the hit man, Howie T. Did you know? I'm never man Howie T without.
Starting point is 00:39:34 always respected his contributions to hip-hop. Howie Tito. I've always been jealous of people with their own theme song. So I'm telling you, Tommy Motola just asked me to do his documentary. And they were asking me, yo, what about it? And I was like, yo, Tommy Matola lives on the road. Like, imagine they made a hit record about you that they're playing. all over the world of Howie T.
Starting point is 00:40:07 When I tell you, that shit was wavy, when he had the Howie Tito, whoa, Howie Tito, that shit was crazy. Some of the groups, James, special ad, Chabra.
Starting point is 00:40:25 He did Salt and Pepper. It's probably his biggest group. But color me bad. That was like the white. How are herbie? Herbie is salt pepper. That was Herbie, Salt and Peppers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Howie T did. Sweet tea. He did sweet tea too. He did sweet tea too, right? But Howie T, living legend, he should get all the flowers he deserves. Definitely. Rest and peace and prayers and condoluses to his family. You know, I always get surprised when somebody passes away in hip hop that I never met.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Yeah, me too, because you met everybody. I bet everybody. I feel weird when I ain't meet him You know who else, man, everybody Buster Rides Yeah, shout out the Buster, you got a star on the Walk of Fame, man. He deserved that.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I seen the picture with him and LL. That was fine. Beyond that. They won in the last two. I mean, L.L. is the first with our era that's left. And Buster. We did something.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Then you were a couple of them right behind them. We can't have covered me on there. Am I coming with the Euro or I'm coming with it? Yo, this motherfucker. You got a new, your shit ain't the Euro, though, because it's the first. It's the fluidity. I got to get a new name for your step. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:45 No, no, I like that one. But, you know, Buster Mom's leaders in a new school, shout out to Long Island, they claim them too. I know he says he's from Brooklyn. He grew up in Brooklyn went to school with Biggie and, um, Jay Z but Long Island claims him and Keith Mary
Starting point is 00:42:05 I missed a big one Keith Mary and the Long Island's kid Keith Mary's not just an incredible rapper he's one of my brothers so I'm sorry if I messed up and I missed out with
Starting point is 00:42:18 Keith Mary people were saying them have doing a lot of people you know it's just was amazing their contribution let's talk about Jersey
Starting point is 00:42:28 now Some unsung heroes. We salute the legends of Jersey. Y'all got a style. I think we got to Jersey. A salute jersey, man. Red Man, Queen Latifah, Norty by Nature, Lord's of the Underground.

Starting point is 00:43:39 I think Red Man is the most underrated MC ever lived in the hip-hop game. Hell no. I think it's not about Red Man. What he do? Crazy. Yeah, but they don't know about Red Man the way they know about Red Man. But maybe me know about the film. No, no.
Starting point is 00:43:54 I totally disagree. So you think a random commercialized. They know about Red Man. They know about Red Man. They know about Red Man. You know about hip hop You fucking know about Redmond. And they don't give him his props.
Starting point is 00:44:04 It's impossible. Redmond was so good. Who is they? I'm talking about they. I don't know who they is. They don't want us to win. They don't want us. They.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Hypothetically speaking. Kidding me, Reggie's that negative, though. I agree. So I'm just trying to say. The flip stages of globally. I think it's one of the greatest emcees of all time. It's just, my point is His name should be up there
Starting point is 00:44:32 When everybody's top 10, top 5, whatever they want to do, He's that good. Right? Queen Latifah iconic, legendary. There's nothing we could do about that. Nothing.

Starting point is 00:45:26 because they're the first people I ever seen bring Eminem out. Fado Hussein, rest in peace. That was crazy to be, right? One day we got an interview, we moved to our bell on here from the outsiders
Starting point is 00:45:40 and explain how did the two-bott were they cousins or something? Because he's... The outlaws. The outlaws. Fado Hussein. That was my man. What I'm saying is
Starting point is 00:45:54 when they beefing the East Coast, West Coast, It's crazy that the guys who's on all the ill records with pockets from Jersey. How did that happen? Did they meet them in L.A.? How did that go down? Like, this is the East Coast, West Coast beef. And these guys was from right here under the nose of New York, Jersey.
Starting point is 00:46:19 And so who else we got on that list for Jersey? What right? This teacher was incredible. Wild Rob G. Fettie Watt. Fettie Watt. Shuggerh, Ging. Wadcliffe, Lauren, Hill,
Starting point is 00:46:35 greatest female of all time. I don't care what you say. You know, sometimes people get mad because you know, they, certain artists are put in a level of it ain't even artists.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Like people say, who's your top five? You bring up Lauren, they might be like, yo, she don't even count. But she does. count, right? I made a mistake she didn't count. I wouldn't she count.
Starting point is 00:47:02 She's the greatest of all time. Some people say she don't count. They got to get out of it. She counts. But they think she's the cheat code. She's the AI. So what I'm saying is the other day, I take the top five
Starting point is 00:47:19 DJs, top five DJs, and Cali, I threw them in that I threw him in that category I was like, yo, Call are too big to even call him a DJ. And he pissed kick and pre-off with that.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Why? Because he wanted to big up Cal, I don't even know what he's pissed off about. I put him first on the list. I'm going to stop bigging niggas up. No, it's like two or three guys that I bigged up and they wound up dissing me.
Starting point is 00:47:49 And I'm like sitting here like, yo, like, I'm bigging you up. But Callet definitely would have been on my, top five DJ list. You know, but when I look at Callet, I always look at him as his catalog. It's so big.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Dude. Man, DJ Callet. His catalog is so big. I feel like it's so much bigger than just DJing. When you're a DJ and you got a DJ? Shout out the DJ nasty from Orlando. When Callet does a show, he got a DJ. You don't DJ.
Starting point is 00:48:23 He has a DJ. Yeah, when you were a DJ, DJ with a DJ? Hello. Let's go DJ. Let's go DJ. But there's certain people on that list. Your dog house got a dog house.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Chill Rob G. That's one of the most class is getting. It's getting kind of hectic. SP put me on a chill Rob G. In high school, Sp. Sp.

Starting point is 00:49:00 It was two. It was chill Rob G. Who else? They had two versions. How did they have it? Imagine you did, why J did one of this and to that. And somebody else got the same song,
Starting point is 00:49:11 same beat. How did that happen? It was two I got the powers. At the same time, video music by I played both of them. How did that happen? One chill Rob G and one of it. Who's the other thing was snap? C&C music factor.
Starting point is 00:49:25 It was snap. And the chill-ri-Rob Jee's both hits at the same fucking time, same beat, same song, I got the power. How did they pull that shit off? That must have been before clearing samples, huh? Sports talk, man, Gilbert Arena's got arrested. What the fuck is going on? Slick it right here, though? Yo!
Starting point is 00:49:50 What the fuck is going on with these ballplayers? What's my man, Bridges? He's still in the fucking NBA, the two twins. Morris. What? Morris. He got locked up to him. That was a mistake.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Huh? I think Gil's shit wasn't as big as they, you know, I don't think it was. He got locked up by the feds. But he also got out. And I think twin, I think twin, that was a mistake too. Like, I think that was a mistake. He got the money. It don't make sense for you, right?
Starting point is 00:50:25 Yeah, he got them. So that was my immediate reaction of like... Things like that happened in the casino. And then because you're black, they make it bigger. Let me explain, son of you. I hate to burst your bubble. I'm going to burn my bubble. I don't owe nobody, none.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Yeah. I hate the burst your bubble. God willing, I'm wrong. But I've seen this play out. He's illegal gambling spots and somebody who's famous is involved in all that. they usually get a year and a day. They could do a year and a day.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Okay. I'm just talking to tell you that. That ain't going to. When I see them stories, I know how that shit play out. And if they came and got you, you know, nine out of 99 out of 100 times.
Starting point is 00:51:14 When them alphabet letters come to that front door, your best choice is saying, okay, let's see what's the least time we're going to get. Unfortunately, it's like that. Now if you want to be Robin Hood and think you can take them on and beat them
Starting point is 00:51:28 and you're lucky enough or whatever but these are terrible I just don't wish that for them. I wish it never happened. Whatever it is, I hope it's a mistake like you say. Because it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:51:43 It's not the feds with twin and Gil said he snitching. You said he snitching? There's jokes, man. You'd be all right. You're rich. How are you feeling about Jerry Jones don't want to pay Michael Parsons, man.
Starting point is 00:51:57 What you think, Rich, Mr. Dallas Cowboy? I ain't feel about that. It's not as straight. He's down there on the staff of Dallas. Definitely. They paid your man with the real stinky leg. What's your man? That press card.

Starting point is 00:53:03 He's not going to win no chip. I guess we ain't getting anybody. We ain't getting to feel best. The sad part, you know, he's a handsome guy. They market him. They don't want to win games. Nah. Not with him.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I don't see that. And then Parsons, who's worth the money, they're giving them a hard time. You know, what you got to understand is this. This is almost like the government. Right? There's people, this government does some things.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Although we're proud Americans and we vote and pack taxpayers and all that, we don't agree with, but we can't change it. They're the government. It's the same thing with the owners of franchises. Jerry Jones, anybody in their right mind who's a fuck Dallas Cowboy fan knows

And when people start thinking they bigger than the program, that's when they disappear. You know, and even I, me, I've had the conversation because people look at me like I'm the leader of my crew. But I've had the conversation with guys in my crew where I say,
Starting point is 01:09:32 nobody's bigger than the program. Even Fat Joe is accessible. If I, for some reason I'm out of here, you know, the show goes on. I ain't just talking about rap.

Like, I'm not going to sue somebody of our nature, You got a bank, white dude with an umbrella. Yesterday's price is not saying, I said, oh, I got them. He was like, no, you can't sue, you know.
Starting point is 01:12:34 But it was fun times. Yeah, I don't think you. Let's get these questions, James. Yesterday's price is not today's price. That phrase right there changed my life. Let me tell you something. And shout out to, what's your tea, Kanye? Kanye sample that started that yesterday's right.
Starting point is 01:12:54 they crack, crack on Diet Coke. If I would have told him, it would have been a Diet Pepsi, even though I looked like a human Diet Coke today. You know what I'm saying? Get the questions, let's go. Yo, this is Brad Register from Wildwood, Florida, now resigning in Newport News, Virginia. I like what you guys doing, man.
Starting point is 01:13:16 I love y'all show. My question is, you know, when your guys were coming up through hip-hop, Like, what was y'all favorite show out of your MTV Raps or Rap City? And also, could you guys try to get FavFive Freddy on the show? Because I know you guys are like hearing stories and stuff like that. And he's like been around hip hop for a long time. So I know he got crazy stories. You MTV Raps or Raps City?
Starting point is 01:13:44 Rap City. Yo MTV Rapp. I'm going to disrespect the whole shit and say video music box, really. He didn't give us that option. But we liked the video music box more than both of them. Now, Thad Fy Fy Fretty. We needed him on the show. From graffiti, we need Fad Fy Friady.
Starting point is 01:14:03 He's real hip. Fafi Freddie, I think he did the first collab. Because when I was looking into like, I can't explain it to you any other way. The Bronx was a war zone. Like, people live in abandoned buildings. The biggest gang wasn't the bloods and crips. It was the stray dogs.
Starting point is 01:14:19 So when I think about the beginning of hip hop I can't believe a white girl Fairfied Freddy's from the Bronx No I'm not saying that But it started in the Bronx Russell Simmons came to the Bronx They all came to the Bronx The fever of the first nightclub playing hipops
Starting point is 01:14:39 In the Bronx Salafo What I'm trying to say is I never understood The first major collaboration was Blondie Right up in the, I've never understood how this white girl had the heart to either
Starting point is 01:14:55 go Sedrick, Bronx River, or my hood, and make this song and have rappers on there. And then when I went down to like trying to figure out how it happened, Fat 5 Freddie made that happen.
Starting point is 01:15:11 You know how early he had to be in the game of hip-hop to make that song possible, the blondeie? Rapcha Let's get in the hip hop So I agree with this brother right here We need Fat 5 Freddy on the show
Starting point is 01:15:28 Just to keep it I mean that's what I think we're doing Preserving the culture Next question, please Yo Jada This is not a question Do you remember walking into TGI Fridays and Yonkers
Starting point is 01:15:43 At Cross County and buying a girl A Hennessy shot After leaving the hospital, you had a hospital band. That's my newborn baby. That was the coolest thing you've ever done. I was in absolute shock. I said nothing. You said nothing.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Bought me a shot of Hennessy and walked out. I love you. One of my favorite rappers. I just have to share that memory with you in case you don't remember that. No recollection. I was off an anesthesia. He got super love for you. And shout out to Stu Leonard's.
Starting point is 01:16:14 Stu Leonard's and Yonkers, man. They came out for that so. out of rum. Puerto Rican rum. They came out by the hundredth. You knew it, right? I told me it was going to be lit. Stude Lennis, Yonkins.
Starting point is 01:16:26 What's up, y'all? Yo, Joe, yo, Jada, what it up? Man, your boy ranks a million from the Bronx and all that. I just want to ask, why are DJs and, like, mainstream artists not discovering or breaking new artists no more? They leaving it all to the new artists to, like, do it by themselves, and then they want to help once. the up-and-coming artists already did what they needed to help with.
Starting point is 01:16:53 I think that's on the individual, I mean, some people don't know how to ask for help. Some people don't know how to offer help, and some people don't know how to do either one. Me, I gave up on helping artists. I'm all out of favors myself. I'm all out of taking every relationship I ever had and signing you and introducing you to all my important people and then paying for your videos, buying your clothes,
Starting point is 01:17:17 putting you in the studio, helping you make the hands. And then as soon as you pop, you tell me I ain't shit. I'm not doing that. No more. I'm firm on it. In fact, I heard the artist. And I'm going to shout you out. I don't know what your name is.
Starting point is 01:17:32 But I went to this thing pretty little be doing this DJ, uh, turntable thing, battle thing. And everybody was in there. And I went to Jersey. And I went down there and some dude rapped who normally I would, signed him in one second. This guy was so nice, nyrically, fluidly.
Starting point is 01:17:54 Every word he said came Crystal Claire. And after he performed, he came around me. All I could do is say, yo, bro. Congratulations. What's up with you or Chris? Chris said, Yo, Joe, this guy's incredible. I said, yeah, but
Starting point is 01:18:09 he's going to tell me he suck his dick. And, you know, he was the biggest he was the biggest in the game before he met me. He's the livis. He's He knows everything. He's like, I'm not doing that. Like, I just can't help you no more. I've been burnt too many times, pause.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Next question, please. Hey, what's up, y'all, man? This DJ Nasson Nate calling straight out of South Florida, man, for four miles. Hey, my question is, man, y'all long been doing it so long. But was the one thing that you wish you would have never did? One thing I wish I never did is gave so many people my phone number. you got the same number for like 20 years and all that
Starting point is 01:18:50 recently I used to change my shit like socks what was the question again James which one of the things you wish you never did beat so many people up certain ones should have talked it out yeah yeah talked it out a few times
Starting point is 01:19:08 it was certain ones that when I look back I just say it just didn't make sense and I'm keeping it a buck. It didn't make sense that when I look back at it now, like, yo, you know what? Because sometimes you beat a guy up and they become martyrs. And people, you know, look at them like,
Starting point is 01:19:30 you know, they wasn't even authorized to get beat up. These guys didn't even deserve it. You know, but now they're the guys that Fat Joe and the Terror Squad beat up. And they're running around and, oh, yo, that's homie. You know, fat Joe. them beat them up, like, too much fluidity for these guys in the hood. They didn't even deserve it.
