Starting point is 00:03:59 You know what happens to me, dream, man, is, and then we're going to go. I know I'm bet. What happens to me is I want people who are fans of fad,
Starting point is 00:04:09 Joe, wherever they see I want to float by. I want them to say, damn, that fat Joe, they look in the restaurant. He flies smelling good. They look, this, damn, that's fucking fat Joe. They want to see me pulling off with some drop-top shit,

Starting point is 00:04:42 Man, I appreciate it, bro. I'll take that. All right, thanks, brother. You got your flags, you know. What's why do you want to throw the... Just in case. Oh, I got all right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:04:53 I do got my flags over here. They got the first one kind of matching you over here. Your dream, let me ask you a question, right? So when you do it, I'm just skipping all the way and say, when you do a show or tour, do you ever do a segment about the songs you wrote for other people? Man, that's so crazy that you say that.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Because that was the, that's, that's the idea going into this next phase of my whole shit is breaking it down. Like how, and even on stage, like, I don't think, um, these songs that I've been doing, man, I do them so fast that I just became accustomed to, I was just talking about that with the camera.
Starting point is 00:05:35 It's kind of the same. thing. I'm like, I didn't get pictures the first time around. I wasn't taking pictures. Meva. I was just grinding, go in the studio. Like, all right, see y'all later. Versus, amenis. I think Lenny asked, the reason why he came up
Starting point is 00:05:49 is we were working in a Mercer on no church and, yeah. And so, he has this picture of the Yays made about mines and Jays, like all three, like on the street. And I had to ask him for the pigeon. I could have to
Starting point is 00:06:05 took the picture myself. But I have to ask Lenny. Lenny got like $2 billion worth of pictures over there, by the way. I got no pictures with Biggie Smalls. Oh, no. That was my man. See, that's what I mean. I got a blurry one somebody cheated and shot off a balcony.
Starting point is 00:06:21 And we're like fucking grainy. I don't have no clear picture with Biggie. I got one with me, him, puff, Kim, and Bone Thugs. I got like three. I got like three pictures. And you was with him every day. You're on fucking smashes, the Benjamin's, all that shit with.
Starting point is 00:06:42 At one time, it wasn't about pitches. I'm only got like three or four pitches with big. I don't got a lot. That's crazy. That's nuts, right? Yeah, we wasn't taking pitches. We wasn't taking pictures back.
Starting point is 00:06:54 And it was the other one. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. Motherfucker ran out you and said, yo, let me take a picture. They had a whole fucking orchestra.
Starting point is 00:07:03 with them. They look like Andre 3,000 at the Met Gallo they can pull out the bazooka camera. Yo, it was so rare for someone to have an actual camera back in the day. Because it wasn't on the phone.
Starting point is 00:07:15 It was like you had to have a camera. Exposable. Exposable joints. You had them, yeah. Joints you're going to graduation, your mom's thing. Get them a little Kodak joint and drop them off
Starting point is 00:07:25 at the pharmacy. Your dream, you're special. You're very unique and extremely, you're a genius, you're talented. Thank you, man. I love when you collaborate with pushing. Not just clips, not just
Starting point is 00:07:40 when you're pushing. Yo, let me tell you, that's one of them I'd be looking for. Right? I don't care if it's a smash. It's not a smash. For some reason, he bring out that.
Starting point is 00:07:56 You'll be on that shit when you on there with push it. Like, you don't turn it. I love you. You over a killing niggas on that So I feel You know, it's like one of those things where you're like, yo, that energy
Starting point is 00:08:09 Because I'm from the block Like regardless of what it looked like, I'm from that space But I do a different thing But whenever that energy is around, I'm like, You get right in that change. What?
Starting point is 00:08:21 I'm like, yo I'm been waiting. Like, let's go. Let me get one of those. Yeah, I like even if we're just talking on texting just lyrically going back and forth. I like the sparring even in that case. When did you realize your voice?
Starting point is 00:08:37 Your voice is... Everybody's voice is an instrument, but your voice is a different... The shit is incredible. And you... The way you were able to go, you know, different ranges and hit different notes and take it... When did you really know?
Starting point is 00:08:54 I got one of these fucking most incredible voices of all time. The craziest thing... I used it more as a utility. I never really thought that much of my voice in that way because I felt like everybody just had a unique thing that they did. I didn't even understand something that you just said, which was the range of a thing to go into a falsetto that type of way out of a tenor
Starting point is 00:09:17 and how I was doing it. A lot of that came with band. I started playing trumpet in the third grade. So because band happened and I was just talking about like festival music and stuff not too long ago. You're going into like, festival music is this thing that happens like around Thanksgiving and Christmas. So the band, if you're young and you're able to actually go through this thing that I went through, which is great. You have clarinets, flutes, you have all these sections coming together to do a particular thing.
Starting point is 00:09:48 So in my mind, when I was young, I could hear even now. I can't even hear a note without hearing the other parts happening. So my voice transitioned just into that. What do you mean by that? What do you mean? Because I really want to understand that. You can't hear an instrument without hearing the other instrument. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:10:08 Nothing could be like singled out to you. Like you hear it all. I hear it all. Even if the lead vocal stays with the lead, I still hear all of the harmony notes that go with it. I know exactly when they should happen. I can feel a buildup in the momentum. And in band, it's written on your sheet music.
Starting point is 00:10:26 that you were reading in festival time. I was to read music and to say, oh, crescendo is coming. Like, everybody knew there was a swell coming. Like, all of that stuff I put into everything that I'm doing here on this side. But it's just, you know, in the beginning, I never talked about as much as I just started kind of open up and talk about, like, how that impacted me a lot as a kid. And now I'm trying to make sure that the kids got that again because they just took the shit out of school. You know, like when I got, I think in high school,
Starting point is 00:10:58 they were just like, nah, we ended the programs. I'm like, you're keeping everybody from selling dope. Like, we need to keep doing this. But they pulled it out of school and kind of, yeah, I'm still a little heartbroken about that. You already know when it's a real moment, you need a real bottle. That's why we rock with 1800 tequila.
Starting point is 00:11:17 You heard me? These people been making tequila for 11 generations. That's right, 11. That's a legacy. That's OG status. Jake. They were the first to introduce a Nejo set the standard before most of these brands even existed.
Starting point is 00:11:33 And you could taste the difference for real. The 1800 Cristolino and Repasado was what we've been on lately. Smooth, clean, elevate. No burn, no rough edges, just a premium paw that speaks for itself. You know when it's something that's just built right? That's what this is. Real talk, that's just what it is. It's always around for the world.
Starting point is 00:11:55 the best nights, the wins, the celebrations, to remember that night's story? Whether you're keeping it low-key with the crew or you're pulling up to a big event, 1800 fits every setting. It ain't trying too hard. It's just that. 1800 tequila, real legacy, real smooth,
Starting point is 00:12:13 that's the move. True, true, true. One. Some of the artists you looked up to growing up, and then two, what's your country? class of the ATL. When you came out, who else was popping at that same time?
Starting point is 00:12:31 Who else you was looking at like, all right, I got to step my shit up or I'm happy for them. I've seen them at all the talent shows. Who are some artists you looked up to previously before your time? And when you came out, came out around the same time that?
Starting point is 00:12:50 It would be Sam Cook, oldest reading, of course. and man it was just just another machine of course we all Michael
Starting point is 00:13:00 Prince I got later like I feel like Michael was the person that you got when you're young you're trying to do all the dances and shit Prince was saying
Starting point is 00:13:08 shit that you probably didn't know what you're like I don't know what he's saying you gotta be like 16 for you like
Starting point is 00:13:13 that's what he meant that's what you meant by Nikki now I know exactly and so to grow into those four
Starting point is 00:13:20 four guys like at that cornerstone man for me that's that was why I honed. I always tried to, the best way to even put songwriting
Starting point is 00:13:28 was trying to write the 10th record on Thrillet. Hmm. Every time I write, trying to make whatever the 10th record would be, can I make that album? And so that's how I just went into my whole career on this side. And when I was coming up, me and Tip went to the same elementary school.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Like, we were from the same block. That's right. So I've been doing this thing since I was, we ride Mike. So I'm saying, well, when he was deflating the basketball in the park. That's what he said over there. Center Hill. He said they wouldn't let him, so he started stabbing the basketball.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah, that was it. Yeah, there you go. That was simple. And so watching his rise and being happy, he's like, no, from my block, this is crazy. And just Atlanta in general, y'all understand, like, for us, for you guys, y'all had the business of it already put together how it worked here. We just knew how to get jerked for our money before y'all. Yeah. It looked like me.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I'm just getting robbed before y'all. Yeah, we did sacrifice. We were the lambs. We were the sacrificial lambs up here getting raped and pillaged by these niggas over here. First, it looked like we do business. And they robbed us first. Then they went down there. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:14:44 So with that being said, you know, the South was like based on that Bible Belt, man. Like it's based in, like, that church thing. We didn't even think, had an idea of you can make bread from doing that thing. It was just, we were just doing it. Even with rap, we were just battling because we saw the shit. We went thinking like, oh, you can make a living. We was already setting up in our mind. Our living was going to be a certain type of way, especially if you had grandparents around everybody.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Church, you went to church, you had to get the band. I mean, you had to get in the chorus. I don't care if you could sing or not. You're in the chorus. You've gone up in there sing that same thing. You sung at your auntie house last night. Going up there and sing it. that's how I grew up in that space
Starting point is 00:15:26 and then once we got the business part of it I remember the first thing that clicked to me I saw Dallas Austin at Lennox and that that nigga had shout out of Dallas that nigga had a, I think a 430 had a Ferrari something
Starting point is 00:15:40 I saw that shit I was like wait he don't sell I know you don't sell dope what you get? He's like shit somebody told me like, oh, that nigga write. I said, I'm sorry, what?
Starting point is 00:15:55 TLC. He said, he write music. I said, nigga, you get that for writing music. Nigger, that changed my whole shit. I was like, oh, nigga, I've been doing that this whole time. You got a Ferrari out of that. You've been one of the few that are a star on your own when you drop your own music and able to write hits for others.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Unfortunately, sometimes when people write hits for other artists, humongous hits. They want to be an artist themselves, and it never happened. It never pop off. And I personally, I think I'm one of the great minds of music. I'm not lying to you, right?
Starting point is 00:16:34 I really honestly believe that. If I told my family that, I'd be like, yo, I think, you know, I know this music shit. Like, I'm arguing with Remy right now. I changed the drums on her new song and she don't like them. And I'm like, I know the hit.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Don't play with me. Nah, I don't like it. I said, no, I know the hip. I do the shorty swing my way Now you're out of here What you do? Some drums, Shorty swing my way
Starting point is 00:16:58 Like I'm trying to You gonna make a girlie Nah We ain't gonna see that no more You couldn't wait for that I couldn't wait I just seen some hips going And I'm just look over here for a minute
Starting point is 00:17:11 I'm just trying to say I know music And so when I see Brothers and sisters That write hits for other artists but it don't happen for them, I couldn't figure that one out yet. I don't really have a real answer
Starting point is 00:17:28 for somebody who writes the biggest shit in the world and then they want to be an artist and they don't go nowhere. I don't have that answer. Like, you know, I really study all this shit and I'd just be like,
Starting point is 00:17:41 and I'll be confused like how they can't blow up as an artist, but you, one of the very few that could write umbrella, but righteous self hits and become a star on your own. You're double blessed by God is what I'm trying to. There's some other people that deserve it too, but it didn't happen for them.
Starting point is 00:18:03 That means it didn't deserve. That's actually, that's really good line. Yo, this guy's crazy. I try to tell you all that shit. Seriously, no. You lost your mom's at 15. Yes. How did that impact?
Starting point is 00:18:17 Oh, man, that's everything. That's everything. thing, man. That was my favorite person. To lose my favorite person that like that's not, that won't ever not be a thing. It ain't something you even wake up like, all right, cool. Today I don't care of it.
Starting point is 00:18:33 It's 12 p.m. 3. 30. At some point, you're going to think about it. The more success you have, the more you think about because you know that they're not here to even basking that thing to talk about hey, man, it's my son. And that's my, you know, and it's a certain what the craziest part is the
Starting point is 00:18:49 protection you missed of a mom looking at across like what you want girl no no you need that thing is a un you don't need to talk about that's a different type of thing they just step in like you don't know she had a conversation like hey don't come around here no more you don't see yeah see that shit you don't yeah but i used to go to war and come home my mom ain't know what was going on i throw my legs on and she rubbed my feet like i'm a baby wow and i understood that the I was sitting the couch like and your mom's always
Starting point is 00:19:23 you said so how do you get over the trauma of being 15 losing your moms and just staying right? Because I got a nephew. My sister passed away. He ain't been the same sense. If I ain't have music, man,
Starting point is 00:19:37 it would be a different it'll be a different story. It's more than my outlet. And a lot of those that's why I would have that kind of chemistry with Ree and B those things because I'm giving them a thing
Starting point is 00:19:51 I can't even give my mom, by the way. And there's certain things happening on just even a spiritual level in those times where any time I see a woman in that space that's just, that's my mom
Starting point is 00:20:08 I'm dealing with. Like, anytime. And so you never get over, you turn it into, it's easier to say it to done because you don't sound like something, that a teacher tell you, turn it into a positive,
Starting point is 00:20:20 you know, whatever the thing is. But that's exactly what I did. A lot of those songs, man, near and dear that feel a certain type of way, all that feeling is still my love for my mom and my admiration for her. And that's how I'm able to exist on that side and tell it from that point of view.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I was having this conversation at the barbecue the other day. Glezy. Nah, the glissies always the glit. They made some whack glissies, how you're doing? I don't make a wag gliss, man. That's when I knew shit was all,
Starting point is 00:20:52 this shit was bad, man. Like, the glizzy wasn't hitting. I was like, if the glizzy ain't, like, how do you fuck up a glizzy, my nigga? You buy the Nathens. You boil as shit. How do you mess? I knew it wasn't a vibe, man.
Starting point is 00:21:09 But listen, I'm not saying that. The beautiful thing about having a barbecue in the house, shout out DJ Serge, he was killing it. is just, you just get to playing music. And then we started discussing, like, movie soundtracks in, like, the 80s and 90s. And then in the face, they had, waiting to excel in a boomerang.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Those soundtracks, like, back in the day, soundtracks, Soul Food used to be like, the soundtracks used to be everything. I was just talking about this. I was like, man, you know what? It's because the culture It was so great at stuff
Starting point is 00:21:51 We dismissed it so soon And we just stopped doing certain shit It's a testament to how great we are We just get bored And we just try some other shit That shit didn't never not work It always work It always hit straight home
Starting point is 00:22:06 You was able Artist was able to graduate On those soundtrack Out of a space You have to use your own album To say, I'm trying to turn the corner Here y'all going to let me turn it They're like not without that picture
Starting point is 00:22:16 I need a picture of what that scene whatever that scene is I need that picture and so we're not able to do that now because those those type of films aren't even being generated in that space and we just stopped doing it that shit was like hip-hop
Starting point is 00:22:35 one way like it was like death even when DMX came from Pac-all-way like all together boys to men like they man they they biggest them soundtracks has some shit on there.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Mama? That shit was crazy. But that was an outlet. That was our thing. Have you ever not heard a song? So think of all the music we consume and everything we know. Have you ever been to a barbecue
Starting point is 00:23:06 and they play like an old school song? And you're like, what the fuck is that? My nigga, that shit happened to me. I was stuck. The song was so good. I made them play it three times. I'm like, What the fuck is that?
Starting point is 00:23:20 I never heard that. Everybody was like this. My aunt knew it. I was so shocked. I never heard. I got to ask Serge. Don't worry. Hopefully he wasn't frayed.
Starting point is 00:23:35 He's like, I heard it three times. I don't know. No, I made him play it three times. It was on B. Yeah. Oh, you know, I never heard it before. Yeah, every now and then that happens, though. I feel like
Starting point is 00:23:49 But it's hard for me man I don't want to tell you that I'm Damn near a foster one that old And I Yeah Listen my mom's passed away A faucet Before she passed away
Starting point is 00:24:02 If I called her right now She was sitting there listening to old Like my family's so music I mean 24 hours a day My mom's go to sleep to the So it's so hard that I don't know Our own school record And they could play that shit.
Starting point is 00:24:20 That's the sound crazy. I was like, yo, what the fuck? What's that? I said, play that shit back. She was talking that shit. I was like, yo. And then I looked, my aunt knew it, but I was asking everybody else. So you ever heard this shit?
Starting point is 00:24:33 It was like, no, I never heard this shit. It was like, but did it? Have just ever been this song that you guys ever heard like at a barbecue that you was like, yo, I never heard that before? Wow, that's a good one, Joe. I don't think. Sure, it has. Yeah, I just don't remember when it happened to me.
Starting point is 00:24:49 that shit happened to me the other day, bro. That shit was crazy. This song is fucking amazing. And y'all, let me tell you something. Maybe we can save it for the next podcast. But your man, the chef at the restaurant, I'm trying to save him. By your way, I went to Italian restaurants,
Starting point is 00:25:05 the greatest on the planet Earth. The chef called me a hundred times. It's a little joint, and I keep telling him, I told a chef like 20 times, yo, chef, he hit me up. He was like, yo, say the name. say the name.
Starting point is 00:25:22 I say, yo, I don't think you ready for this type. We went Johnson's fried chicken. They used the mustard. I know down South you, I used the, over here is rare. But my spot, Johnson's fried chicken, they got the mustard sauce. Guys were selling 20 mustard sauce a week. Now they sell 85 mustard sauce a day
Starting point is 00:25:40 because we mentioned their restaurant and we did something. I keep trying to warn this guy. He keeps saying, yeah, do the who? Well, ladies and gentlemen, the name of the restaurant is called Padre Pio. It's right over Padre, like Father Padre Pio. And it's right over that Cuomo bridge. That was another, that was tap.
Starting point is 00:26:07 I want to call him now, though, and let him know. He told me to say it. Yeah, I know, but you won't let him. I told him 15 times I said, you're not ready to it. Pio, hold him, Florida. Run it up. Hey, don't run out of whatever you got over there. Don't run out of it.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Y'all went two times in one week, and it's kind of far from my house. It's like 45 minutes. I like them type of spots. I went to, it ain't the spot no more. He made me say it. I don't think he understand. Now you can't go.
