You know what I mean?
You think of Morocco.
You think of the Bronx.
You think of Harlem.
some of the grimy is blocks.
Shout out of the 140th.
You know what I mean?
You think of influential collaborators
that created a wave error.
You know what I mean?
Something that reflected the hood
from fashion to lingo,
to melodies,
to drama in the street,
to plenty of litness.
You know,
I mean?
The wave.
Ladies and gentlemen,
make some noise
for our gas,
French Montana
and match Baker Fad.
Yo,
French.
You don't get high
no more, but you
look like you smoke
a little something right now.
I'm still high
from when I stop.
God damn, that nigga
extra high.
He got that residue.
That mean you had
shit and he's still high.
You've been clean for years.
I was still a little
when I stopped.
Let me tell you, before we start,
we got to start
A sad note, right?
But it's really quick.
Your dog passed away.
That was my God.
I used to live vicariously on Instagram
watching you with the dog.
Oh, he passed away.
And he's the lion.
He's the biggest dog getting in the girl.
Yeah, it's a bad master.
But they don't live that long, though.
Oh, I know what I mean?
So, yeah, that's my dog, man.
My dog champ, man.
I've been through a lot.
Yeah, the dog passed away?
Yeah.
Yeah, but he was like a lion, though.
This guy, the biggest dog getting the fucking universe.
Yeah, it's a bad master.
Yeah.
He's seen none of your pets yet.
Because you ain't go to LA.
You can't fly yet.
You ain't see the monkey yet.
He'll be having the monkey on the G6.
He's got all type of shit.
He's Arab.
He's the only person that can really verify the little man, right?
Yeah.
Yo!
Yo, French!
You French!
I forgot about that shit.
Yeah.
Yo, French.
Oh, God.
I was my little guy.
That's his name in Morocco.
He's in Macari.
Yeah, he's like a purse.
He's like, I fucking told you.
The little man, yo, Max.
He's like a little burking bag.
Let me tell you said, you see that shit.
He ain't lying, though.
You see that fucking chain?
Yeah, he's alive.
He got a lot.
The niz could duck behind a chain.
It's a little man.
I told you he could wear suit.
Like some shit.
He's making him like the size of the rewind.
Okay.
He just.
No, I'm telling you.
It's like a little burking bag.
Yeah, whoever his.
A burkin bag.
Yeah, whoever his guardian is, just pick him up over the dress and they go outside.
He just pick him up with the dressing
Whoever his guardian is, he probably
just be waiting for him by the dressing.
He picked him up and he'd go outside.
You not listening to me.
I got to get over there.
He like the size of that bottle.
He ain't lying though.
But he's a full grown man.
Yo, Vak, can we go find him?
Can we go see?
Nah, we're going to find him.
He in Morocco.
He in Morocco, Macraqas.
He's in Maccades, right?
Yeah, yeah.
You know, you know.
Nah, they don't believe me neither.
That's not what I'm so about.
Is he bigger than this?
A little bigger.
A little bigger.
Yeah.
He was hard behind the T.S.
Fucking monkey, man.
The monkey.
No, no, we're talking to you.
No, Matt.
You're talking about a human being's grown-ass man that little.
This ain't a monkey, back?
It's a human being.
They say, that's a monkey.
He got the monkey.
He got the princess of Dubai.
Who, the monkeys.
Your friends got the princess of Dubai.
Your friends got the princess of Dubai.
Shout to the princess.
Yo, yo, let me ask you something, right?
Because in the hip-hop game and the R&B game,
one of the biggest queens at Princesses
is, of course, Janet Jackson.
Big Pun's favorite.
And Jermaine DePree came in, and I'm looking at him.
And I said, how the fuck he bagged Janet Jackson?
And her prime six-packed us.
A little bit of the answer.
He, listen.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, yo.
It's a question.
Yeah, yeah.
How do you bag?
the legitimate
princess of Dubai
coming from the Bronx.
No, no, no, you're not asking me.
Hold on, hold up.
Hold on, hold up. Can we just...
But it might not be, though, because you ask you
Jemaine is like how you catch lightning in the bottle.
It's just like, you know, sometimes
somebody could look at it like it's a highlight.
Frank, hold on, hold up, French.
How do you do that big deal?
Your French, why don't you answer the question?
You dancing on the Senate?
No, no, I'm not.
It was one of my homeboys.
He plugged me with it in Dubai.
He said you want to meet the princess Dubai?
I just happened to be in Dubai.
And I remember I had seen that she had put up that post
where she divorced somebody.
I'm like, I like her.
Because it takes a lot of, a lot of guts to throw that up.
So she threw that up.
I'm like, I like her.
He was like, man, I know her.
He said he know him?
Yeah, yeah, he said he know.
Oh, no.
He said he knew a girl that knew her.
And I'm like, do what you got to do.
So I knew a guy that knew a guy.
Sniper gang.
No, this is a legendary.
You heard the first here, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
This is a legendary phone.
Hip-hop, when you see that.
For answer your question,
I think it would be,
I think it was easier for him to get the princess
than it was easier JD to get Jen Jackson.
That's the fact.
Yeah, because, you know, he must have been ready.
That was real shit.
You know, pause.
You know, France wanted to answer months.
You know, she probably was scheming on you.
I paused.
You hit me with the...
I've been waiting to do that, Grandfather, you home.
Listen, you more than anybody because you're Muslim,
you met so many phony bologna.
So many super rich Arabs that say they're the prince, they're the king,
they're all full of shit.
Yeah, everybody's the shit.
Everybody's full of shit.
Right, they're all raw.
You get.
If you got money, you act like you.
Yo, this Prince Jaffe Jaffis.
What's your name over there?
I'm Ali Kashani.
He knows I'm...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yo, yo, you know, your friend.
My name is Ali Qashani in the Middle East.
Al-A-Qa-N-A-Lah.
I am Ali Qashani.
Salam al-a-a-a-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-hah.
I need a name over this, Lord.
I'm Ali Kishani.
Yo, Max.
I'm Ali Kishani.
That's hard.
But when I go like this, I say, yo, French with the prince of Dubai.
I said, all right, hold up.
So I had to verify, and I said,
she the fucking real deal princess of Dubai.
Yeah.
She's not the people, humans don't see her like that.
Max, she came to your welcome home out of jail.
She's down to earth.
That's shit.
Yeah, she's down to her.
Right.
She was telling the wife.
Everybody was getting along.
These people, you know, I know the Royal family, too.
I know her family.
Yeah.
Right?
You know, Snowcat with Joe Crack.
one day they came with me and they hung out with me
and the brother you here I said yeah they came to the mall
right they hung out with me three four hours
you know pitching their cheeks all like yo fuck out of it
you know we family having the best time in my life
I go back to the hotel
the promoter you know he paid me crazy money to go out there
I thought he was going to be pissed because I was just gone
like I left the man said you know tell me you know
the mock tunes.
I said,
my family, what you're talking about?
He said, we've never seen
these people in the mall in our life.
And I'm walking around
with them, so I know when he did that,
I said, they don't even see him.
The palace is down the block.
Nobody ever see them in human form.
It's like Obama on 10,000.
Yeah.
You don't see them.
They're on the money.
They're on the money.
They're on everything.
No, no, they're on the money.
When you go in the hotel, they got the three shakes.
Yeah.
That's them.
But you can see these people in this business we end.
Oh, anybody can see anybody in this business.
A man like this walk in the room, they know he's coming in the country.
They know he come in town.
He go to the club.
He got his shit out.
Pause.
Oh, my God.
Not, but you know he did a lot of time.
Let me grab my flag.
He did a lot of time.
I see this going to be going somewhere else.
Like something.
Yo, Max, you did a lot of time.
What you mean?
No, I mean, like, you know, you...
I'm not using that no more.
You got a legitimate pause.
Like, you got, like...
You know, you, you know, you've been gone for a minute.
I mean, I mean, but honestly, though, it's like...
I had a cell phone to jet.
When you...
When you...
Talk slow to him, Max.
I had motion.
Woo!
When you come to the States, you see, like, Trump,
so you see people like being the president for four years
and getting out of office.
When you go to places,
like that. You talk about people that own the place.
Ever. You can, you could buy
the houses, but the government still own the place.
They still own everything. Everything.
So it's like the own something and they only get passed
down to your bloodline. It's like there's a whole different
type of love out there. But shout to her
whole family. And I'd be out with her sometime.
I mean, since I knew, I don't think she ever rocked for one piece of
jewelry. That's my
gangster. They keep it. One.
Not one. They don't rock like that. I got them
a piece one time. My tunes.
I got them like the Arabic, the Muslim
shit for his birthday. He never.
I'm sure he never would.
I got him, I iced out.
They're good people, man.
Shot out of the whole month.
They're the best in the world.
Yeah, yeah.
And so Max B.
How many years, Max B?
Well, on this one?
18.
This one.
This one.
This one.
17 years and 10 months.
How many total?
And we don't...
I did eight New York, so I did 25 years.
Well, this was 17.
Them being back.
All the dudes don't have dissinity.
All the things don't know what's going on after doing that much.
Last time I've seen you all.
Last time I've seen you all.
I was in the club and you had a captain and Teneal hat on.
You had some pilot shit.
You remember when he rocked a pilot hat?
We're in the club.
Next day, you're in jail.
I said, what the fuck?
I'm looking at you.
You a movie.
I know your wife is here now, but I'm talking 20 years ago.
This is old wife.
You had like four white girls with you, and you had a captain into Neil shit on.
I'm looking at him in the club.
And then he got the pilots hat on.
I said, yo, this nigger big a hell is crazy, but.
And so the wave about to take off on the legend.
It already took off, but it was about to take off on another legendary form.
You sitting in jail.
I can't imagine what's that like facing life.
You was smelling it when you was about to get the grand prize.
How horrible was that?
It was something I, but it was something I had to get over like that.
Had to get it just.
It was nothing I sat on.
It was like next day, it was like, all right, off to the next.
How are you going to get the fuck out?
That's it.
You walked in there and said, I'm bidding.
My second rodeo.
So I kind of, I knew the ropes.
I had shit going, I mean.
I was maneuvering the V.
I was behind the scene.
I had motherfucket.
You know, I did four months.
I was running that shit for four months.
I was trying to tell you.
I know you was good.
Don't let nobody lie to you.
But a night before I go to jail, I see your pistol,
what's it going to be like for me?
He said, man, you Joe the Dawn.
Man, it's going to be just like that is there,
like it is out here.
You don't know no other way to be.
He ain't fucking lied.
We went in there.
We locked that shit down in the kilometer of a second.
You know, Hong Kong Mongolian.
Hong Kong's, I had a dude in there called Hong Kongs Mongolian.
No, I'm telling you.
I'm not even going to throw the flag on that one.
No, no, Hong Kong's Montego.
Listen, that's crazy.
Unfortunately, in jail,
black stick with blacks, Latinos, Latinos with whites with white, Asian with Asian.
This guy was like a mess.
He was a big white boy and the white people ain't want him because he looked a little slow.
Y'all took him in.
Snick, a boy.
You hear me?
They're going to post up on the basketball course, start filing everybody.
I was looking at him.
I said, something special about this guy, right?
Pause.
That was crazy.
So I said, yo, I put him down with the team.
It's sick.
So I say, yo, I put him down with the team.
And I say, you know what?
you Hong Kong's Mongolian.
He said, huh?
I can't let it go, man.
I can't let it go, crack.
I said, you Hong Kong's Mongolian.
Not the way you drag it though.
You know I gave him.
You're not listening.
Give him that name or your first time meeting.
Dude, used to stand like this.
Don't hurt the leg, don't hurt the.
Hong Kong's mom.
You stay like here.
I don't want to say the word.
He talks about four.
It's on another level.
But what I'm trying to tell you is this guy could take 12 guys in a fight.
Like you could just tell you had that boot strength.
So I put him down and he shone the table and shit like that.
But one day he comes up to me and says, he said, boss, boss,
I just realized that Hong Kong and Mongolia's two different places.
I said, man, shut the fuck up to joy you're not.
The fuck out of here with that shit.
Hong Kong.
Go dust the table.
Yeah.
Bigger Vell, was they asked you mad stupid questions?
Like, did you have to put a shutdown
and don't ask me?
All the time.
Open-minded, though.
If I fuck what the dude, if his vibe is all right,
he ain't on no cornball shit,
I might entertain a nigga conversation.
I might entertain a nigga 16.
You know what I'm saying?
It depends.
I was there short.
I wasn't want to hear nothing.
The mickers ran up.
I said, yo, stay where you at.
It's not hip.
pop, nigga.
They don't want to rap.
I broke hearts
in the first two minutes.
They ran up in that bitch.
It was like, yo, yeah, yeah.
I said, no, no, no.
No, this ain't rap.
I ain't rapping.
No, I don't know.
I don't know J-Lo.
I have 20 of them niggas in there rapping.
Yeah, have a little fun.
Just when I'm in the mood,
I'm on some shit, I smoke a joint
and get 20 of them niggas in there
and start battle rap, be acting crazy.
You know the saddest thing I think about when
artists go to jail.
what was Christmas like 18 Christmas 17 Christmas
Are you in there for Happy New Year
They quit
They quit
That's it
You just got to get over them shit
That's going to get closer
Can't sit up and there like
Yeah I'm just like I was home for Christmas
I put the Christmas tree up this year
Spent Christmas with the family
I wore a sweater drunk drunk egg gnaug
I did all that shit this year
It happened
We got another one me and him.
I'm going to talk about, I'm going to talk about the dirty section.
You know, we just got...
You ain't even let me talk, go.
You didn't even let me talk.
That's a force.
You got to take the flag back in the second.
Listen, what I'm saying is...
That was a crazy answer.
You know, nobody...
You're not listening.
Nobody came in the podcast game like Joe and Jada.
It's impossible.
Every day the biggest star.
the bigger one, the bigger one, the bigger one, the bigger one.
We 70 episodes, we like 68 superstars in,
and everybody else is online, ready to come.
Crazy.
Paws, super pause.
That one was a disrespect.
Now, but there's a part of YouTube that we call the Dirty Section, AM Radio.
He's a good morning, Vietnam.
I mean, talking about everybody.
violating everybody. They don't care. It's the dirty section. They don't make it the Netflix.
You know what I'm saying? They ain't getting to the bag like that, right? They're doing it for,
you know, 500 a month for some shit, right? Unfortunately, it's really crabs in the barrel.
You come out. You did 20 years. I never heard no dirt on your name. I never heard nothing.
But here come the dirty section, trying to throw rumors on your name and all that. And
This is the place to address that.
And does it even bother you that it's a family member?
God got me right where he won me.
After all I've been through that time,
and to get back here and doing what I'm doing,
do it look like it bothers me?
No, not at all.
It's just sad.
I don't know of any other culture get down like that, like this.
It ain't just you.
I see it with big meat.
Niggas be disgruntled when they don't get their way,
When something don't work for them, they get disgrunt.
It's always disgrunt to people.
They're not here no more.
And everybody think they're in the wave.
And then the minute you say,
you know what, this guy's not good for me.
And it's lights out.
Yeah.
It's back to the roaches when you put the lights on and shit.
Running around the crib, you fucked up.
There's no more Dubai.
And so that's when they start trying to dirty somebody's name
or some reputation because.
You know what I think?
They disgruntled to you.
I think salute to you and salute to you and salute to y'all.
You came out and the rollout was like nobody rolled out.
You couldn't wait.
You still rolling out.
Yo, that bitch like a genie in a bottle.
They like to unrolling.
Dudes come home.
How about this?
Army coach.
Nobody than a shiver.
That shit's over.
Jimbo's...
Hold you for Jimbo's...
You kept it up.
You kept the $10,000 with your brother.
Yeah.
You're right there for him.
You got a strong brother.
Which is 100 million percent.
For my whole number solid...
That's a whole different thing.
Solid planet.
Listen to me.
That's a whole different thing.
Everybody ain't got that.
Everybody don't do 17 years.
I'm still rolling, Nick.
Everybody don't do 17 years
and your brother waiting for you
and he's still up and he putting this shit in play.
What kind of blessing is that?
This nigger,
know, out of all the motherfuckers on the planet,
I got genuine happiness, pure friendship for this nigga.
No money, no nothing.
I shit is based on straight, solid, friendship, music creation.
That's just my nigga.
Anything else happened.
So when I'm in jail seeing this thing on TV,
I ain't a nigga on fuck, that should have been me.
No, I'm in that motherfucker crying with happiness.
That's right.
this nigga, yeah, look at my nigger.
Ah, fuck y'all.
That's how I was in there.
I mean a lot to him, he mean a lot to me.
That's my nigga.
It's real shit.
That's it.
Because I felt like when you got with Max,
that's when the real French Montana was discovered.
Yeah.
That's when you've been doing it, Coke, DVDs, all that.
But I never forget.
I'm in the studio with Cool and Dre.
And Dre is like, yo, your man, French is catching the old face.
Yeah.
We listen to both of y'all.
He's a big fan of you, Dre.
Yeah, fuck with him.
And Dre.
And Dre was like, yo, and this guy, Max B,
and we just listening to the show.
You know, we just like,
yo, this shit crazy and you never turned back.
Yeah.
Nah, for sure.
I mean, it was a wild time, man.
I think we first started when I met Max,
I think I had the whole cocaine city show, you know.
You were already killing the show,
his DVDs.
And he already had something going on, too.
So when we got together,
just like bringing the movement together.
You know what I'm saying?
It's almost like bringing kids of styles
and the sheet together.
It was like that.
You know what I'm saying?
Rest in peace, chinks.
We lost chinks.
He was in the mix with us.
That's my guy.
When he first got the 75,
I was rocking out with him for the whole 75.
It wasn't even like, oh, no,
oh, I know you're going to get 18 and get it back.
I was rocking.
He didn't find out he was going to get 18
until probably after what, like 13 years in?
Yeah.
You brought me out the box one time, Nick.
What was that?
Like Philly or something?
Up there.
I was in locker.
They were like, wait and he ain't busy.
When can't see me?
They pulled me out the box, my man on the window.
But he was living spontaneously through me.
I would be face-sighted me, you know, calling him with like Vin Diesel,
calling him like, whine him out.
He'd be in there, this is Vin Diesel?
Yo, what up, Max?
No, we be shade.
Yeah, yeah, he was living spontaneously through it, man, you know?
It's crazy because we was.
He's home now, but we was calling Flores the millionaire.
He was at.
at the parties. He was like, yo, I'm at the party, nigga. What's going on here? Mary Jay
gonna talk. Yo, what's up, nigga? It was like, he got to party. You got two or three
spectators you trust watching the face. Like, yo, this shit crazy to me. Yo, it's on.
I mean, it's nothing like that. At French, first of all, I'm looking at all of them diamonds.
And I'm saying to myself, you like it? Do you like it? No, I'm thinking.
Save a little beast
You know I took the demo
The Form Master Flex
You never save a little beast for late
You're rich a long time
I'm throwing a flag on you
Yo French
You're French
All type of wealth
I know where you live
Not a little beast
I ain't a lot
I ain't a lot
Crack a real one
Crack a real one
Let's go French
That's say I can
That's more than diamonds
That's more than gold
that's more than anything I could give you.
It was always like that.
Nah, no, I could take a gift.
Fuck that.
Fuck that.
A little piece for later.
I can take a gift.
Let me get a little peace for later.
I look at it myself, French, Montana, Princess Dubai.
I'm ready to get a job with this nigga right there.
I'm sitting there.
I said, damn, man, save a little beast for later.
And for your guys who don't know,
French was having a heart.
time getting his music on the radio, on the box.
And I went up there and had a serious, serious conversation with Funk Flex.
Because he was, y'all was already on fire.
Yeah, he had just got, now he had just got locked up.
You was already on fire.
Blackballed.
Yeah, I was, I was Blackball.
What I'm saying is, I was Blackballed even more.
Listen, they blackballed me.
Yeah.
I had beef with the biggest dudes you ever seen in your life.
Yeah.
And they was like, yo, he can't get that.
He can't.
Joe made it through the Chitlin circuit with number ones.
Number one in America.
They was like, no, you perform in Alabama.
You go to PA.
You can't get on this tour.
Like every tour I was trying to get on, they was like,
yo, you can't.
What?
Lockage.
Super facts.
I never cried about it.
But I go up there, he was my son's favorite rap.
And I say, yo, and he played it in six months later, that shit was pop that, pop that pussy.
Pop that.
You took off in six months.
It went from Shot Caller to pop that.
We never turned back.
Grind it out, though.
He grinded.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers.
And guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
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.
We're the 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.
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, 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.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I
competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking
down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really
takes to win on clay.
Genshin win.
I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.
She's an outsider to win the French, me.
And she likes Clay.
Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now.
And I actually can win on any surface.
Because if she's serving, well, good luck.
Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged.
It's the enhanced games.
Some call it grotesque.
Others say it's unleashing human potential.
Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all,
embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Now, I see the fridge at summer gym,
I think you got shot in the head.
I can't even believe that you had to gumption.
I said, this thing is going to get, this thing is destined.
You had to shit on your head and all that?
No, there's, I had the shit on the red.
He had the scars.
But I'm saying, this nigga's going to get rich.
There's no way I wouldn't win this.
That ain't supposed to time getting shot.
That's a thing from Morocco.
Ah!
What the fuck is that mean, man?
The shoe thing is.
See, Morocco ain't all right?
It's a shit.
Yeah, my whole lot.
Let me tell you, sir.
I go to Maccadash.
This is the time I met the little man.
Marrakesh, man.
Marrakech.
But you know fast,
yo, French,
you're fuck everything up.
I'm fried.
But listen,
I get in the car.
They booked me to do a show.
And they drive into the desert
for like two hours straight.
And they talk in Arabic.
And I said,
I said,
the Taliban.
I got set up.
I thought it was the Tally.
I thought it was the Taliban.
Like,
they just talked to them.
It wasn't.
Two hours French in Machinette.
Into the desert.
Like,
I'm really.
seeing fucking camels and all that.
It's nothing.
Nothing.
Not a gas station.
Nothing.
I'm driving in for two days.
And then you got to know this place.
They pull up in the shit like an oasis.
Yeah.
They got villas there.
Yeah.
And I'm like, thank God.
I walk up in that business.
Like, you got the biggest villa fat, Joe, this.
I was like, yo, what the fuck?
I for sure I was kidnapped.
Yeah.
I'm looking out the window.
I'm like, damn, man, he didn't put me on.
on the screen, they're there, fat jumping.
I'm done, nigga.
They're about to chop my shit off.
No, America's got a lot of desert.
You've been to that place when I'm talking about, right?
Like, it's like in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, it's like a hotel in the middle of the desert.
A hotel in the middle of nowhere.
Oasis?
Yeah, it is an oasis.
Yeah, I forgot the name, but I know what you're talking about.
How's your brother, man?
Oh, he's good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shot to Zach.
Shot to Zach.
Yeah, yeah.
You could probably get the princess to get him a diplomatic immunity.
We're trying.
We're trying.
Yeah, we're trying every...
Did Sean just get that all?
Man, Sean did...
He's almost like...
He's almost like you.
You came home and you got right to a shot.
You know, Sean was a set of Jew.
He did it all.
He made sure he was getting back in the...
That shit was impossible.
He came back.
That came back.
He was being like his third time.
Oh, Sean?
Zat!
Oh, yeah.
Through my nigga out of the country
about three times.
times or be the ex-out my dicking.
But he's back.
But he's good over there.
When he wanted to have big fun, he'd go to Dubai then, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He could go to Europe, Dubai, shit like that.
Hell yeah.
You know, you're in Paris, fashion week.
Morocco better than being in jail, so I tell him all the time.
Way better than me.
My told Max, right before you got here, you're our first late customer.
Oh, how bad.
First ever.
I really thought he was on rap hours.
I was like, yeah, he just telling me 12, because then I'll be two hours late.
setting French.
My bad.
It's a family show, man.
I know y'all my two favorite people in the world.
Don't, no, don't.
But we're not doing good, man.
This thing has been up.
We're not here.
But that's what I'm saying, right?
I tell Max.
Max come out, what they call it?
It ain't court side.
What's the shit when you're on the field?
Side line.
Side line.
He was on that old football.
I don't know football like that.
I met Shador.
Shado!
Shado! Shado! Shat the door.
You come right out of the gym.
when you're on the sidelines.
LV. Don't forget that.
The Instagram going crazy.
The point is you had a hell of two months.
The hype around him is almost like
where 50 said just had the mixtapes.
And it was like, all right, let's hear his single.
Because that's what they want, Max.
I'm telling you, you're beyond talented.
You got it to put it out.
Nobody got flows like you.
Nobody rap flow like you.
You crazy.
I'm telling you, as a hip,
pop fan. I don't heard your music, the flows, the melodies, the
dist at that. But if you come with that, go shorthy.
It's your birthday. We're gonna, when you come with one of those,
you'll be walking into Louis Vuitton Paris runway. That's how big.
You know, right now it's great. Moms and pops, everybody taking care of you.
They're getting you to the bag. But you got a silver surfer bag if you
put it out the park.
If he come with one of them
African joints?
Yeah.
We might have one.
We might have one.
We might have one,
but you know what's one.
It's a lot of,
it's a lot of storm.
Yeah, we got a lot of music.
My first 30 days out,
I gave him a 20 plus 24 song
mixtape my first day out.
That's crazy.
I didn't have no hours in the day.
And got my kids with me every day.
Wife every day.
Still went there and gave niggins a urge.
And we got another one coming out with 22 joints on it.
So slow to me.
Now, the joint, me and bro did, you're going to hear it just, and just do this.
And y'all going to go back to the first shit I did, and it's going to do that again.
I'm not worried about that.
There's new shit about the dog the streets.
I'm just predicting a dog out.
Straight dog in the fuck out.
Top the bottom, dog out, music, singles, videos, the rollout, boom.
As soon as I think it's over, I'm going to come smack out with a million-dollar baby.
Dog, y'all nigs the fuck out there.
Then we got another wave guard album dropping.
Then I'm doing another mixtape.
Don Snow.
So it's a lot of store.
I never stop.
I have unlimited classic wave.
Because you know why?
Max B., he had guard in the streets in New York, especially Harlem.
Shout out to my nephew Beattie and all I see y'all playing this day and night.
There's a global interest in Max B.
And so that's what I'm trying to say is if you put one out the park, it's a different bag.
I thought I retina that every day.
No, you got that hard drive with them joints.
You got to show me how to do that.
I retell them.
Listen, you got that.
But listen, when Flojo came out, I was getting $500 a show.
It was number one in America.
And I was going to Connecticut, Austin, Jersey.
The next day is Yonkers.
Yeah, was in D.C.
That was in 93.
It was no money in the rap game.
With the number one.
Damn, that's crazy.
No money.
The money's out there now, big.
In another way.
They'll paint you in silver,
and you'll be on a surfboard
going through Madison Square Garden
on the fucking silver surf on that bitch.
This is a different type of,
them reggae tone niggins.
They hit one and they get in a half a million
in the show. One song.
Yeah.
You know, and I'm trying to figure out,
French. What is it? Velvet? The pants right there?
Lisa, the boy got his own money.
Yeah, Velvet.
I don't think Newbuck.
They're Velvet.
Newburgh can be too heavy.
I'll tell you about the Bronx.
You don't know how to act, French.
You get a bronze person somewhere.
You see how Cardi B.
Be becoming shitting boat taker,
Yeah, start the car.
The fucking ankle with the boots to match with the...
You give a Bronx dude, somebody.
You're a girl.
They don't know how to act.
Tell you.
Their boy French coming in here, this shit,
looking like fucking exotic emirous and shit.
They just killed the fur.
Time.
We got to get that hit, Max.
We get that hip.
Crack and all about them his.
I told you, I surrendered.
It's funny.
You know, you told me out there I surrender.
And what's crazy is last night.
I was sleeping.
I sleep with the TV on.
And I turn and I see literally,
literally it got to be
millions, millions of white people
jumping up and down singing the words.
And I look on, I don't know who the fuck
these guys are.
It's a rock group.
So I look at the shit, I say,
what the fuck?
He was a million people.
And they all were singing going crazy.
And then the hook.
come and the name of the hook was I surrender.
He's the food fighters.
Crazy.
And it was called I surrender.
He told me today, y'all, I surrender.
I said, yo, that might be you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got to tap into that.
However that makes you feel.
I just make it one way.
I could never go in it.
What is the process?
That's probably the weakest part of my game to go in there and say,
yo, listen to a beat that I don't do,
but you're going there and be some produce.
They'd be like, you'll do this record right here.
and it'll be a hit record.
I might not like the track, though.
If I can't die with the track, I'm not going to do this shit.
I did it.
I sold out.
I know.
This is why I'm trying to say.
This is why I surrendered.
I made it number one that I can't stand.
The white people love it.
It went number one.
That's the decision we got to be.
You want to sing that same record over and over or you want to?
That's how I was looking at it.
I did it.
I'm ready to sing the record.
We mechanically.
sold out.
Like we went and we said,
all right, we need a beat that sounds like this.
We need to get the homie on this hook.
We need to rap like this
and the shit really went number one.
Like we cloned the, like we made a number one
that wasn't from the heart.
Like, Lean Back was a mixtape song
that just went number one.
You know, I don't give a fuck about your fault.
Something that happened.
That went organic.
But I made the number one that I'm disgusted
And I know what you said
Because every time I hear it and they want to hear it
The white is like, ah, but you got it shit went number one
Independent when you made Lean Back?
No, I was independent make your brain
So you know what happened to me is a famous story
So I'm in Atlantic Records
And I'm selling 2 million brackets
And I'm the big, they had a poster of me
Six floors
Where I had the orange level
a shirt, I had the lion medallion, and I walk up in there every day so cocky, put out
an album, the shit flop.
They took off that poster so fast, and they threw a T.I. join up.
This is the new guy, T.I. I'm like, yo, this major label shit is disgusting, bro.
Right now, at that time, going independent, they were giving you $7 a CD.
I sold a half a million. They called me a failure.
a half a million people
went to the store and bought that shit.
And I said, you know what?
If I get $7 for a half a million,
I make $3.5 million,
it's more than the $500,000
or the million dollars
they're giving me to do the whole album.
So I go back the next day.
I say, yo, I don't know if y'all know
I started out digging in the crates.
I'm going back to my underground.
We ain't got to worry about me.
You'll never hear from fat.
No, again.
I'm never making a hit again.
I'm done.
Make it rain.
Four million records on the masses
with the fucking independent.
The money was coming so much, French.
I'm kicking it safe and to close the shit.
I'd be like throwing my wife just bundles of money.
Like, go spend.
Go shop.
This shit crazy.
I'm like, yo, I can't close the safe.
It was ringtones.
When the ringtone shit first came out,
that shit went four million on them.
That was the next, I know they wanted to commit suicide.
When I left, it was make it rain.
Four million sold.
That's crazy.
Independent.
I've been independent ever since.
We win every time.
You know, these record labels ain't nothing but a bank.
But they make you believe a hit won't go without them, though.
It's a lie.
Yeah.
All the way up went.
Yeah.
We just got a new commercial ESPN 10 years later, ESPN, ABC.
I'm all the way up.
Yeah, I ain't going to lie.
The story about all the way up is crazy.
Oh, I want to hear the story about all the way up.
Yeah.
me here. French is on the only way up.
Get that. Let me hear it.
Nah, no, hold on, kiss. Now, kiss coming back.
I'm going to tell him the story.
So I'm just sitting back in the crib.
Crack him, I don't know it. Like, yo, come by Cool and Dre's Studio.
I got this joint.
It's out of here. This is the one.
I go to the studio. We knock it out.
I'm not thinking none of it. The shit come out.
Take all. Boom. We're doing shows.
Even Drake came in my. I was telling you, boy, hit me.
Like, yo, I need a verse on that.
Yeah, look, I need a verse on that.
So it was one of them.
One time he and Crack doing a big-ass show.
That's how I know he was a real one.
I'm like, yo, Crack, I never really told you,
but I checked through my lawyer.
He told me I ain't get no publishing on that song.
I had zero publishing on that song.
I said, yo, Craig, I know you're not running business like that.
He was like, French, what you want me to do?
I said, when I did the song with you,
I was like, my brother got me.
I ain't got to worry about nothing.
Crack was like, you know what?
He called his lawyer right on the spot.
you know what French here.
I forgot what you gave me.
10%.
But the thing is...
I think it was five.
It was five.
No, it was 10%.
It was 5.
It was 5.
That's after the fact, right?
Nah.
10%.
You fucking got 10%.
But you didn't...
But you did that, though.
Of course.
You did that, though.
You did that.
It happened to me, and that's after.
The paperwork.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He went back to change it.
When he's moving.
This day.
He come and sit next to me.
We had a ward show.
He said, next to me.
But you forgot how you told me.
How I told you?
You said, yo, crack.
You know what's that million dollar
voice that made that shit.
Go!
He said, I look at French.
I said, why?
He was like, yo, I put that million dollar
gloss on that bitch.
I said, all right, let's call a lawyer now.
It's unacceptable.
You know, with me, I don't feel good
if my people don't make money with me.
You knew JR, rest of peace.
J.R. R. Riders changed my whole life.
It's a billionaire.
I was with every day for five years.
Yeah.
Right? And he taught me everything about business.
And the biggest thing he taught me is that everybody got to eat.
You go to my stores.
The managers.
The seminars you used to do?
Yes, the seminars, market America.
But J.R.'s a billionaire, a genius.
He made sure everybody made money.
And then he was good.
Record label.
that?
It's the same thing.
When Remy came home, you know, it was a struggle.
Me and her.
Leanne and Rem were struggling, right?
So I'll sit down in the cross and listen,
let me tell you something.
I know I'm hallucinating guys.
Don't get mad at me in podcast world,
but I told her, yo, me and you,
we like Dr. Dre and Snoke.
If we hit one out the park,
we're out of here.
Before lean back?
No, there's after lean back.
Lean back.
If lean back,
Was in Instagram era?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God, it's a different type of animal.
Old ladies would have been doing it.
Beyond, we'd have been buying Yankee Stadium.
Imagine all the girls on Instagram right now if she was a model for a year and a half.
And if she got it, that shit would go down to her ass.
Man.
TikTok.
Yep, bro.
What?
Y'all knew them joints was the ones.
Every one of them joints y'all put out, y'all knew it was the ones.
I knew everything.
Ooh.
It was, too.
For real, though?
It wasn't one that you was like, I don't know.
The one real thing, the record label ever taught me, Craig Kamen, he said,
yo, you're not Beyonce.
He said, you can't put out two, three songs.
He says, if it hits, we'll get another video.
We'll get another song.
We'll put the bag behind it.
he taught me that I got to get a hit every time.
So I was thinking like a program director.
Oh, I used to go to South Carolina and watch little kids running across the grass and all that.
And play those songs there and say, if these kids can hear this on a Sunday, this shit out of here.
And that's how I will pick a hit every single time.
Right.
And so I train myself to pick a hit.
That's what you're saying.
you don't do.
You just go in there naturally do her,
do songs, and then if it go, it go.
You know, I heard a lot of artists say that.
I just treat them like,
I don't try to make a hit.
That's not what I'm going.
I just go with a good joke.
And if it happened, it happened.
It would take a nigga, like,
to come in there, like, oh,
he'd come in and go through the,
though, that's the one.
That's some shit.
Or he'll come play some shit all the time.
Like, the shit we just did.
Shot the video for the last night.
We got death on the bitch coming out.
That's some shit.
You know, shout out Boobie the boxer.
That's how I'm that.
Yeah, shout to Boobie, yeah.
Pund's cousin.
Yeah.
You and Boobie was super tight.
Crazy.
Pun used to come and play as the albums on 183, right about a basketball court.
I know a pun used to pull up with his bins.
He used to have the custom made seat.
He used to come in and they just put that capital punishment on.
And it was even before capital punishment when he came out with the mix tape that y'all drop.
before that with the cassette tape.
It was like the six joints on it.
Well, you've been around French.
You know why I say that is because Pund would drive to Miami.
Great.
And played DJ Caled his album or his songs.
He would go all the way to Miami.
He trusted Callard's ear before all of us.
Crazy.
And I played all the way up for Callet.
Mm-hmm.
And Cala sat in the speaker and I said,
yo, this the one.
He was like, I really don't know.
I said, motherfucker, get the fuck out the studio, nigga.
I'm putting the bag.
up, I'm independent.
This shit is the one.
Just before that, I was fucked up.
I did like four months of the Fed.
They took all my money, millions of dollars.
Imagine you looking at your bank for 10, 15 years, and you cake the fuck up.
And one day you looked and that shit down like this.
They took all my money, penalties, this, this, that.
And I already paid the account in the fucking money.
She, at least you were still in the game.
Oh, no.
I came home like you in a different way.
There wasn't no people there.
There wasn't no football field.
No, none of that shit.
I went right to Cool and Jay Studio
and Jay told me, yo, we're going to work.
And I'm sitting up in there
and they got the little niggas
with the pink hair and the red.
It was that turn.
Party like a rock star.
And little pumps and all arm
and they up in there.
They're looking at me like,
what the fuck this old nigga doing in this studio?
Yeah.
It was getting one.
And I said, man,
like you always do.
Get one.
I think I was talking about your leg too much.
I fucked my leg up.
We now have the Euro step.
My shit is Euro.
Let me tell you something, man.
And super pause.
I'll throw it right now, but I'm a little light on my ass.
I'm 2.30 right now.
You look good.
I'm 2.30.
Pause.
Let me get 25.
I feel magnificent.
I was just watching the interview with you interviewing Big L.
I had it.
Crazy.
Yeah.
About two weeks before.

Red One had hit me.
He had produced all the music over there.
He was like he had DeVito.

So Red One, he runs off.
You know, because he's Moroccan.
So the king let him run.
Who thought he was Jamaican?
Nah.
He produced Jamaican songs
But he's Moroccan
He did all the Lady Gaga music
Yeah, so the king grabbed him
To do all the music for the Afghans
For the African Cup
And he just hit me like a week before the joint

Soccer was never this big.

In general.
Broaded.
All of it.
Every sport.
You got a female basketball.
Yeah.
All that shit.
All that shit.

The TV deals, the commercial deals.
I think when Morocco made it to the semifinals in the World Cup,
I think it was a moment where everybody was like, you know what?
Getting on board.
Yeah, yeah, we belong here.
Even, like, the low market teams got, like,
they stadiums be lit.
It is.
It's sold out.
It ain't like it used to be.
Remember, you used to watch.
Certain teams, you know those shit.

You ain't see nobody.
That's like there.
That's shit is lit.
It's the market for every.
Yeah.
You right about that.
A lot of arenas that were small markets that used to be,
they only show one patch because the people's only,
now that them shit is lit.
They sold you right.
That was like one of the shit.
I used to like seeing jail.
When I be watching TV and shit,
I'm like, yo, the world is evolving.
The economy, the money, the market, you know what I'm saying?
It's the whole shit is like an internet.
You really could come out here and do what you want.
From the crib.

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 a...
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 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 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.

Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends.
Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman helped make you funnier.
This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and headwriter, Streeter Seidel,

Where does your group perform?
We do some retirement homes.
Those people are starving for banter.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis,
and I know firsthand because I competed there myself.
I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast,
I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris.
Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay.
Jenchian win.
I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.
She's an outsider to win the French for me.
And she likes Clay.
Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now,
and I actually can win on any surface.
Because if she's serving, well, good luck.
Consider this your court-side seat to the French Open.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged.
It's the enhanced games.
Some call it grotesque.
Others say it's unleashing human potential.
Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.
Listen to Superhuman on the IHeart Radio app,

I said, Jesus Christ, man.
This shit incredible.
And the name, Bigger Valley,
could you break down the name?
It may be a weird little call.
I love it.
So when I first started doing music,
and I knew I could write,
I was like, all right, now you need a name.
I always thought the name is like very significant
when it comes to an artist.
Absolutely.
Need a name that ring that people are going to love and respect.
What type of music you're trying to put out there?
So why not?
I said, how would I sound if I mix these three niggas together,
Big jigger and Magaveli.
Not two pop, Magaveli.
That's the late pop.
It was a difference.
Talking about that late pop,
and seven-day theory pop.

So I came up with Max Bigger Valley.
Biggerbelly.
Fucking incredible.

Shout out to my man, Rod Lee.
I chilled on the block with older dudes.

And one day, he just came outside.
Somebody must have called them or beeped him or asked him.

And he starts saying,

French, and what made you,
Tony Montana?
No, I mean,
when I,
when I first came from,
Morocco, I used to speak French, and I moved to the Bronx.
And they used to have all these Africans on my block on Ellsman.
And they always used to be talking to me in French.
Every time I come out, they're like, they go bonjour.
This is going bonjour first.
And after that, they start calling me French.
Then, you know, after I realized I couldn't, you know, go to college or play ball or none of that,
I started hustling.
Couldn't get no scholarships and that.
So that's how I got it.
So French was from Ellesmere, Montana, just hustling.
You know, it's crazy because I thought you was nice and ball.

I had a bunch of letters, some colleges.
I was trying to figure out, but there was a nine.
You had good qualities.
I had good qualities.
Yeah, but they were like, yo, that's fat Joey.
I didn't even call myself Fat Joey.
That old block called me Fat Joey.
You always take the name your people get you.
Yeah, yeah, you can't.
You made your shit, but it's fine.
Usually you don't get to make your nickname.
Nah, I don't.
And people give it to you when it stick.
Yeah.
You can make you, you made your shit.
You should is clad.
Because I was going for something.
That shit took game.
They didn't just pop.
I had like four other names before that.
They ain't right.
They didn't work.
My first shit was Fettuccini.
Ooh.
First, my ship on the hood, Charlie Rambo.
No doubt.
Charlie Ramble, I heard that.
Ali boom, boom.
Charlie Ramble.
Fettuccini, Fedlaught, Fettigran,
Mr. Big Yard.
Oh, Mr. Big Yard.
It's great.
Mr. Big Yard.
Grand Star, gets a little.

So now I was listening to your shit,
I used to dive in y'all,
nigga shit, Paul.
No doubt.
But I couldn't,

I loved y'all's nigga shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was looking for mine.
You beat me to it.
My bad.
Yo, I was so on.

Oh, my God.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Oh.
He turned.
He's dead.
He fried.
I didn't want to.
I didn't want to see me.
Yeah.
So I had to distinguish my Sam.
So as hurtful as it was,
I had to stop listening to my locks.
So doubt.
That's respectful.
So I can get better.
Because, you know what I'm saying?
As I start getting better,
around, like, 2001, 2000,
I came with the name Max, Max B.
But guess what?
I didn't know with the B.
I didn't have no name for the B.
When I came out of 03, 05, 04,
I caught the little violation.
I went back up for 10 months
and I was writing like a dog
and that's when the shit came to him.
Nobody had more than area.
Big Al.
Big Al, that's Lamar.
We went to school.
He's the same class.
Lamar.
So you knew his brother.
Lee?
Yeah.
You know his brother was
not legend.
He was giving it up.
He was giving it up.
Legend out there.
Listen, man.
Them 39 boys was all
they was all terrorizing shit.
And I'm going to keep a real.
When Air went,
but rest of peace, that's bro.
When Elle first came through,
we didn't appreciate it.
We took his joint,
we flinging them off the roof.
It didn't take me to like 10 years ago
to really understand the significance
of Big Al shit and how nice he was.
He was nasty.
He was super nasty.
But it took me, it took maturity.
Flamboyant.
To go into that.
Manboin.
I don't master my sound.
Now I can go back and listen to this.
now. I know how nothing
never sound like nobody. But now
I can listen again. Bigel
would call me, like, yo, I got beef on the
block. And we would go over there
in the white van, ugly.
And we jump out. He'd be, hold up.
Crills. We're ready to tear that shit up.
One-on-one.
I'm like, well, he's like, well, who? It'd be the biggest
dude on the block. He'd fight him one-on-one.
I'd be like, you know, hell, you want to fight this
guy? Like, are you...
No, I know him. He wasn't the dirty guy.
He would fight him one-on-one.
We got the animals in the van.
Man, he used to fight my brother.
And my brother was a nut.
But Elle wasn't like, you know, he wasn't running around on the-
No, he's fight.
You know, he never wanted to set nobody up if he knew you like that.
He'd be like, because we're coming in the van.
Early fat Joe.
Three fat Joe.
We got taco.
We got this.
He's like, oh, whoa, whoa, it's one-on-one.
And they always be the biggest guy in the world.
I'm not going to say he won.
But Al Fordham, one-on-one.
I was out there when he got.
I killed. Cam and them was out there too. I seen them on the floor. That was like the saddest
shit, man. But Elle, man, he had so much coming, man. His future was really, really, really,
really bright. He did whatever, man. But shout out the hall. He's a lot of love now.
And his flow never got outdated. Like, the way he rap back then, he was, people were just
rapping like that now.
He was accustomed to. I'm trying to tell you, I went back and had one of his joints like a few
months ago, and it just gave me a whole different feel.
I was like, damn.
You know, Phinez discovered him.
So Finesse was the hottest rapper in New York.
And it was different from us.
We partying, you're going, Charlie, baby.
Fennesse, the crowd standing there waiting for the, ooh.
Yeah, crazy.
Oh, like this grown man, that's all they wait.
And he's going there and freestyle, they're like,
Lord, Finesse is the man that you got to hear, flowing the,
ooh!
the whole crowd, like every punchline, no, every punchline was dramatic.
And when he said, yo, I found this kid from Harvard.
I didn't even know that.
No, no, yes.
That's crazy.
He said, that's how he's digging in the crates.
Yeah.
You know, and man, that man, Big L came out in that first song.
That first show was up there, like, Broadway and like over there by Marble Hill.
Big L. spit his fucking ass off.
The whole crowd, they was there for the, ooh, ah, ah.
Imagine he come up in there, the baby finesse at the time.
And he tore that shit down.
He's the only artist I ever did his song with this.
He's going to rip me down on the song and take all my fans.
We had DVD, D&D.
Primo drew the beat to the enemy.
I had just went gold for the first time.
So he sits me down.
He's my little brother.
He says, listen, I'm here to take all your fans.
That's some Harlem shit, right?
I'm here to take all your fans.
I need it.
So just know, come with your very best right now
because I'm gonna go crazy on you on this song.
And that's my favorite rhyme I ever said in my life
because I was on a spot.
You remember that Lord of the Underground, freestyle dishwrecking you did?
Oh, yeah, you remember that for Finesse.
They're good guys now, man.
The Lords of the Underground.
Wow.
You as well.
You as well.
You as well.
Because, you know, they caught beef with Finesse.
Because it was Lord Finesse.
For some reason, the lords of the underground,
they try to go at Finesse.
And you know, it's like every,
I didn't mind my business.
I was a wild thing just coming in.
Damn, man, I hope they don't resurf.
That shit don't resurface.
They're good people.
It is what it is.
Your friends, you had enough battles, huh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That shit was like,
well, right now we really not into
nothing of shit we used to be into.
But I think, so, so y'all was the first one
to really actually start drill rap.
Because drill rap is basically
who was the first
emcees to start beefing, right?
Because they were telling us...
That's Kumodee.
Yeah, that's Kumodee.
Kumodee started your busy beat.
Busy beat.
Busy beat and Kumasdy.
But they say
the first gangster rapper was Ice T.
And then KRLS was the second one.
We Googled that shit, right?
I don't know who we is.
We Googled that shit.
Icey was the first gangster.
the rap I think.
The first rapper with a diss song was I see?
No.
The first thing in talking about.
First of all, they were dissing each other.
Every battle.
Every jam had battles.
Cold Crush against the romantic.
Them niggas, they've been battling forever.
But the first big battle was Kumo D and Busy B.
Busy B was like a Max B.
Life of the Party ever for an hour.
I don't know if you remember the old school movie,
he spelt his name with the money.
He was Busy B.
Busy B was rocked a party.
Crazy.
And your man, a young Kumo D came up and there
was like that bar to the bar, take that shit on home.
His shit was like, his hit.
His lean back was to the bob to the bob, the bang to bang.
He said something in and on, take that bar to the bar.
I always thought it was MC Shaman.
Carrez that started the first hour.
That was a little bit.
That's a little bit.
They put a picture in Instagram yesterday, Carus 1.
And they said, what comes to mine?
I immediately wrote South Bronx
South South Bronx
I looked at the comments
and they was like
let me begin
there were just over
then they come and they're like
are you a philosopher
oh there is so many
KRS quotes
I don't think nobody
repeated the quotes
like every song
was you must learn
my main man Rob

you remember that
love's gonna get your love's gonna get you
love's gonna get you love

A G-A-Wee.
Fuck school, your love's gonna get you.
G-A-Wik, it finished you right now.
A G-A-W-A-W-E-A-D-W-E?
Shot the Jamaica.
He was chaking up with a G-A-W-W-E-W-W-Ban.
That was somebody Jamaican who started hip-hop.
That's crazy.
Shout to Jamaica.
Oh, you didn't know that.
No.
Who hurt?
Yeah.
But I didn't even know he was Jamaican, though.
So shot the Jamaica.
He's a big hand.
That nigg is like a fucking giant.
And he's the most solid one of all the founders.
Crazy.
You know, he's a real nigger.
Cool-work.
Yo, when the Bronx, when the Bronx looked like Vietnam,
where all the buildings was blown out and burned in it.
That name got the convertible with the fucking speakers in the back
driving through the Bronx when the shit looked like Vietnam.
The train still had spray paint on.
Big time before the spray train or something.
That was before graffiti.
That nigga was out there with the convertible shit like a darn.
You know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cool.
He had to caddy, the big shit, he was riding around.
He was driving through the shit.
This is cool, hurt, the founder of hip.
Yeah.
Well, just to know, somebody Jamaican created a hip-hop.
And in Jamaica, they don't even do hip-hop.
It's kind of crazy.
Well, I can tell you something that's crazy, right?
I don't want nobody to kill me at the deli.
But every Sunday, I go to the Italian deli,
go get the olives, the turkey, to everything.
So there's a man there that's like the rain man.
He's a customer.
He stands there and he just fucks everybody.
No, the man starts telling me
the rain man.
It's a white dude.
He's really, really smart.
He got like Asperger's or autism on a high level
with a smart, smart guy.
And then he asked me, he said,
yo man, what instruments y'all play for hip hop and all that?
And I was like, you know what?
We don't really play the instruments.
We sample.
He said, what do you mean sample?
They got these machines, but they take jazz.
They take rock.
They take Southside, they take R&B, they take the,
and I realized hip hop come from everywhere.
Yeah, we would.
I never really thought about it until he asked me that question.
Yeah.
It actually is a fucking gumbo.
One million percent.
You sample all the shit together, and that's how hip hop come out.
Yeah.
The album would be out already.
Turn it a Coke Wave, man.
Coke Wave, Narcos.
How many joints on?
3.5.
Let me tell you how we got a 3.5.
Because we were so high.
that we skip part three.
But you don't get high no more, they said.
That's hard.
They were so high, they skipped three.
We skip three.
So we went straight from two to four.
So he come home, I'm like, yo, we got a problem.
We skipped the whole value.
You got to come back to three.
You're like, I got a solution.
We're going to call it 3.5.
That's both.
He said the three for the one we missed
and a point five for the one that comes after four.
So we got two back.
You want to know what's crazy.
That's a genius.
You know, you want to know what's crazy, I can never get the vision out my face.
Pause.
Come on, man.
Come on, crack.
You can't get wet.
The vision.
Vision.
I ain't saying nothing, Paul, out of my face of this man with a captain's hat,
with force, white girls.
just, it looked like he was, what's my man to die,
the Playboy dude?
You, he was after that night in the club.
Yeah.
I'm looking at him.
I'm like, yo, this thing is.
Yeah.
B is out of control, bro.
What a life, man.
Now you're married.
Got your wife everywhere with you.
Yeah, she's in the building.
Oh, man.
Smart man.
You're out of a lot of trouble, huh?
It's a nice system implemented.
Can't complain.
But you got it?
You got your shit together.
And I've watched other interviews.
Nah, you got your shit together, bro.
You ain't with that shit.
You ain't falling for nothing.
Yeah, yeah.
Doing shit.
You got your shit together.
And everybody, if everybody's, even the goons,
I know they've been waiting 17 years for you to come home.
Everybody's been waiting for the money to come in,
whatever the case may be.
Everybody's been on max time.
So you got to let them know we all got to be in harmony.
And that's one of the toughest things I had to learn
since day one.
I'm coming with the animals.
And they beating up my fans.
The ugly ones.
I'm going, you got a flow, Joe.
We be, I slant.
Look, they do flow, Joe.

You know.
You remember you like an elephant.
No, I told him.

I don't smoke.
I don't drink.
I'm focused.
My sugar right?
I'm good.
Yeah, you stopped drinking way before everybody.
Man, listen.
I couldn't even give crack a bottle of Nuvo
while he was making it all the way up.
I'm trying to drink Nuvo.
I'm like, there was no liquor in this crack.
He stopped drinking before everybody.
Well, you got me high.
We shot the video to cooking in the desert.
And I went in your fucking trailer.
I don't know if you remember that.
You, Zach, and y'all was there,
and you had chocolate chip cookies.
Oh, yeah.
Of course, my fat ass going, I start eating the truck, and they all laughing.
I don't know why.
They laughing at me.
I'm tearing up the truckler chips.
Next thing I know, I'm high.
I don't smoke nothing.
I'm like, yo, what the fuck?
In the desert.
We had tigers in the desert.
I'm so high.
I'm banging on Remy's door.
She's in the trailer next door.
And I'm boom, boom, bam, bam.
We got to go.
It's turning dark.
That shit was like 12 noon, my name.
It's turning dark.
Video, as soon as the sun goes down.
the videos over. I was tired.
Then I realized I went back. I said,
she said something wrong with you, Joe.
I said, yo, Rob, stop. She's like, you're high.
Something. And I went back. I said, yo, they started
dying laughing.
Spike Cheats.
He changed the old treatment.
Hey, it's us to 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.
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 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.
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,
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.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis,
and I know firsthand because I competed there myself.
I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the René.
Naistub's tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris.
Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay.
Jenchian won.
I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.
She's an outsider to win the French for me.
And she likes Clay.
Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now.
And I actually can win on any surface.
Because if she's serving, well, good luck.
Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged.
It's the enhanced games.
Some call it grotesque.
Others say it's unleashing human potential.
Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

So the shit, what's the African joint where the kids is dancing?
Unforgettable.
Unforgettable. How many diamond is that shit now?
Probably like going on 20, about like 84 around the world.
I wish, man, I wish I walked out the label and did make a rain,
like how you did it with that record.
you would a smith.
I wish I'd have booked that record.
Yo, French, I think you went,
I think you was off the label, right?
You was leaving the label,
and then you hit that one,
and they came back and said, hold up.
Let's work this out.
Because I paid for that record.
I paid half for that record.
When I was in the studio, just working on the album,
I remember Travis coming in,
we did a joint, a couple people came in.
But Jeremiah came in for, like, two days.
We stayed up for like two days cooking
There was a point where Germile was just playing records
And he played this one joint
It was already a hook on there
Yeah, Germile played it
You gave him that million dollar voice, huh?
I turned around, looked at him, he looked at me
I said pull that joint up
That was a layup
Yeah, he played it
How genius was it your idea?
I know you were African
but it was your idea to go get the kids
Yeah
So the kids
I was watching them kids
Before I even had the record,
them kids I was already watching them
because I'm like, man, these kids
like they don't dance like nobody.
I'm like, so I started asking doing my homework.
They were like they don't watch no TV on that.
So they had to learn all their moves like on some, you know,
just as they're going.
What part of Africa was that?
It was Uganda.
It was Uganda.
So I was with Kamala.
So I was trying to.
Kamala, the wrestler.
Big Kamala.
So I was shy to fly men.
They was like, they can't get no visas on that.
It's like, you got to go there.
It was a 30-hour flight.
And mind you, when I got unforgettable,
the record leaked.
The business wasn't done.
So when Jeremiah gave me the record,
I remember I called up Sway.
I'm like, yo, bro, I want this record.
There was like, they already had the record going on something else.
So imagine, like, you had lean back,
and somebody called you, say,
nah, you can't have that record no more.
So I hauled that Sway and I highlight that Mike Wilson.
So it was kind of back and forth.
But I think my man, Sal came in and shot to Sal.
Sal came in here was like, bro, I'm going to tell you how you're going to get this record.
Just give him $300,000 for the record.
We pay $5,000 for beats.
We pay $10,000 for beats.
I never paid for a record for $300,000.
I was looking at Sal like he was crazy.
But the record was already out.
So now the record is already out,
and somebody is telling you you pay $300,000 for a record.
Nobody in the right state of mind going to be like,
I'm paying $300,000.
Because you still don't know if the record going to go or not.
But the record was already leaked out.
It was already out.
When I went to the label, it said the record is already out.
The label was like, nah, we don't want to invest in this.
So I had to go in my pocket.
And I was like, look, if y'all match me, I get it.
So I put up 150 and shot the Sylvia Rohn.
She put up 150.
But I went to Africa and I shot the video out of my own pocket too.
Crazy.
Yeah.
We shot the video, and we had the song, and the song was already out.
So we just had to gamble.
It was like a million dollars of gambling.
You know, I caught an L like that one time.
I did the song with, I was so honored to do a song with Kanye West.
He made me book.
Hype Williams.
I paid Hype Williams,
I think maybe $300,000.
I'm independent.
Crazy.
The man come with a flashlight was the light.
You know how they got,
they got more lights in here right now
than the video.
He came with a flashlight.
He's like, something new I'm working on.
I say, what?
You talk about I got body,
for hype billions might have spent
10 grand on that video.
But the video came out phenomenal.
He can't do.
And then your man Kanye never charged me
but he said, yo Joe covered a wardrobe.
He ordered $10,000 tang tops from France and shit.
Like, he killed me on that budget.
Like, I'm like, Kim Kardashian comes through.
It's a movie, right?
But I flew the bag on that.
A couple of hundred thousand radio, video, this, this, that,
and this, that, and this ain't gone.
And I came back and threw another bag on that,
Another 300,000.
I just knew it had to be hit.
Yeah, man.
And it didn't go.
It didn't go.
It was great.
It's a nostalgia piece.
I rocked with Kanye.
This shit looked beautiful.
But I caught a hell on that.
That's one I caught a hell on.
Yeah.
I remember Kanye had me meet him in the middle of the desert with a
planes, with a shotgun era.
That was incredible.
Yeah.
That video was incredible.
Getting him and Nas there.
That's when I was like.
That was like us getting French Montana.
on the shoulder there.
Nah, man.
That's not, it wasn't Moses.
It was, I forgot the name.
But it was like a hip hop joint.
I never expected it to be a hit.
I've seen that joke.
No, it was incredible.
You're on the graveyard of the planes.
Yeah, it was with a shot Khan air.
That was a vibe.
That video right there was legend.
Yeah, shot the I for Vera.
Yeah.
But you had to get them there.
Yeah.
How crazy is that?
Brow.
Lightning in the bottle.
You go about $300,000.
I'll tell you a story I never said before.
It was crazy when we just talking.
But I never forget we shot John Blaze.
Had the young Jada kiss for hair.
All that's all record.
Punt.
The only one that was late was Nas.
And last minute, Steve Stout showed up and was like,
yo, we need 10 grand for him being the video.
This is when Joe Crack is Don Carter, Gene.
I ain't paying for a peach.
I'm walking in the supermarket getting free.
I'm like, y'all, I ain't paying for shit.
I'm walking up in there, like, I'm in the supermarket
taking free peaches and shit.
Like, yo, Don't pay for shit.
Yeah, I was so in my feelings.
Even though I was rich already.
I was like, you know what?
I was like, yo, 10 grand.
He was like, yo, you know, it's not.
I said, no, that's not even a question.
He did the song for free, but I gave them that 10 grand.
That felt like the 300.
Yeah.
Because in some days, I don't think nobody was paying for nobody
to show up or nothing.
that Jade is there.
Who's there?
Rayquan is there.
Pond is there acting.
No.
Mac 10.
Mac 10.
But I learned from that, though.
I saw the weekend pay somebody
as big as the weekend one.
I was bugging.
I was like, yeah, why are you paying?
You're the weekend.
My man, Cash was like, when they ask us for something,
smoke day gizzards.

Smoke that gizet.
