Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway. Streaming? No, absolutely not. Should so should rappers take their music off stream to get it back to where people got to pay real money to get it? Yep, I would. I remember when it was 99 cent to listen to us. Yeah, what's up? You know what I mean? Yeah. Like so here's the thing like it costed us so much money to make those albums. It costs so much to pay a producer. But now, you know what? I think producers may make a beat for $200. Now, I'm not lying, but I know back in the gap, you know, a Dr. Dre beat was 250 grand. You know, Timbaland beat was 150. $200,000. Wow. As the Neptunes and all of them, that shit was high. Yeah. So it would be shameful to get a beat from these top notch producers and then have to put your shit on a stream and wait for it to stream. Right. You know, 4,000. A million streams is $4,000. What? Yeah. One million streams is $4000. Wow. So you gotta get so Brady in order to get some money. You gotta do like a billion streams if you want some money. Yeah. So like Drake and Kendrick, they doing billions. They doing billions of streams, so they getting money. Yeah. Beyonce, Taylor Swift streams, you know, but it's too much red tape, man, in between that, because you don't never know. It's kind of like the record selling too. You don't know how many records you really sold. Right. You know what I mean? What they tell you, it's just go by what they tell you, you know. But the streaming, I still. I'm still not hip to how this works. Right. And that's why I'm not putting out any new music. I'm not releasing any new music because it would just be all done in vain. Because those people have come up with something so slick to cut us all the way out the money, you know, the mom and pop saved hip hop, the mom and pop saved our lives. Because if we couldn't do anything else, we could sell 100,000 records and make a million dollars. God forbid. You sold a million records and made $10 million. You know. But you used to go back in the day, you looked forward to going to the shop and getting the vinyl. You did. And you read the credits. Yes. And you can roll the square on the record. You say yes. Yeah. You know, you pop the cassette in. I introed my album, the fix. I got this brand new face tape. I'm about to pop in the deck for you. Turn up the radio. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like we had jams, man, and they sold. Not just listening to shit, man. And I'm gonna listen to this and I'm gonna pay him half a penny, but after this, I want to hear something else and pay them half a penny. No, you had to buy that Body of work? Yeah. Like, you can't. You can't. Like a real artist, man, you can't judge their body of work by one song. Okay? I would prefer way more if someone would just listen to an album from front to back. That's why all my shit jam from front to back. Because I had a chance to listen to my album from front to back. Right. And it jammed. You had Def Jam South. You was running Def Jam south when you discovered Ludacris. I can't say I discovered Ludacris. He fell in your lap. A whole lot of shit fell in my lap. Ludacris was already doing numbers, you know, he was already. He was on the radio. Yep. And he already. 30,000 records sold already on that what's yous Fantasy. Yep. So he was like a hands off artist to me. And he just fell in the lap. Def Jam picked it up and pushed it a little further. But you gotta think about all of the other artists that slipped through the crack. You had an opportunity. What, you tried to get TI Tried to get Ross. Yeah. David Banner started naming him. I tried to bring him over there. But back then, the music that was coming from down south was so iffy to them. Like the music from down south was so iffy to them. They wasn't on it like they on it right now. You know, at first you never. You didn't hear that right. Coming from the east coast of California, now, that's all you hear. Even if you're not from down south, your music still sound like you from down South. Correct. That's crazy. Yeah. But it is what it is. What have you learned about money, Face? It's only. Money is like religion, man. It's only as good as the person who has it or who believes in it. You know what I mean? Cause you could be. You could be a very, very rich person and create a facade, you know, for everybody else. Like you're the best person in the world. Right. But when you're elected and the lights get put on you, then they realize what kind of piece of shit you really are. Or you can be just a regular person with no money and be the greatest person in the world. So it's only as good as the person who believes in it or has it. It's like religion. I think Fat Joe said on his podcast Joe and Jada that rappers live paycheck to paycheck. You believe that it's possible. It's possible. Cause you gotta think about it. You get paid. Well, I don't know how to get paid now. I don't know how to get paid now. But you got paid twice a year. That's it. So you had to make that money last. Yeah. Oh, you had to do a lot of shows, right? Yeah. You got paid in September and March. Oh, the game is. The game is all the way around. Crooked right? You know, and. And. And. And, nah, you sold all of those records, and you get paid twice a year. And then they got something they call reserves. They put some records in reserves in case they come back. And it's like, damn. Then you never see that. And then it's like, wow, they got a cold system going on. But it is what it is, right? You know, that's the way they designed it. And I'm looking at all of the older artists that's, like, older than me. I'm looking at George Clinton get all his shit back. You know, they got it to where. So your thing's gonna revert back to you after what, 25 years? 35. 35. So you ain't got but, like. You ain't got but, like, 10 to go. 10? Yeah, you ain't got much longer. You think I'll be here that long? Yeah, you'd be here. Okay. Yeah. I mean, come to Houston, man. You copyrights. Exactly. I'm not kicking it with you, bro Face. No, sir. Same age. I mean, we. You just talk age. You say same age, we close in age. I said, you didn't say the same close. Bruh, you almost 60. Well, damn, Face, why you giving out my info, bruh, Ain't nobody ask you that but you. I got the cards. Why you get. Hey, but you know what, though? You just talked. We talked about snitching early. You remember you mentioned snitching. You mentioned. Hey, but you know what, though? When you walked in the building, I say, man, that man walk like, don't nothing hurt. What they do. I got artificial hips. Fake. Yeah. And then you don't feel none of that pain, huh? No. Boy, when I get up, man, I be everything hurt. Man, you get your hips replaced, man. I mean, I've been there. I mean, hurt sitting down, hurt walking, hurt sleeping, hurt standing hurt. Everything hurt, Man, I might need to get a new hip. They put. You got two hips. Got both of them. They put two hips in? Yeah. What they look like? Perfect. I mean. Cause you gotta realize your hips. No, I'm just. No, I'm not arthritic. Your hips are. They call probably arthritic. And so they go in. So you got like some hips that came off a horse or they made you some hips. They're a ball. Cause the hip socket is a ball. So they just took the old hip out. So a hip is a ball? Yes. Ball socket. Yes. Face, did you see the. Did you actually see the actual hip? Yes. I could have kept it. I was like, nah, I'm good. You don't ever wanna remember that shit no more, huh? That was a bad cheers. Yeah. I got up out the chair, man, and channel like, damn. Face. Yeah, man, what's wrong with you, man? That shit hurt, man. I play golf every day and I'm hurting right now. Look like you played football every day. Hey, shit, I'm gonna bake your ass, man. You better leave me alone. My bad, my bad, my bad. Leave me alone. Can we just tell the story we told talking to Face off camera? Face got kids. Six, seven. Who cares? Hey, this sound like a. He sound like a. He sound like a. He sound like an old ass nigga that coached Lily T ball. Everybody get over there. Everybody get over there and pick them balls up. Daniel, get your glove off the ground, son. What's wrong with you? I. But I read you where you said you would. You terrible. You bad father. You weren't. You were. Yeah, no, I'm terrible. Have you gotten better? Because you got. Have I gotten better? Chris. Damn. He all right. Chris say he all right. I missed the question. Oh, he said, tell. I ask the question again. So Faith said he. He didn't do too well as a father. No, he. He better now. Chris. Yes. I say, yeah. He said, yeah. Chris wouldn't lie. Shit. Chris lying. Now, I. Whether it happened because you were so young, because your oldest. I mean, you had your oldest, like 17. Yeah, I didn't really. I didn't really look at fatherhood as, like being a father. I just figured you'd throw money at it and cover it up. But watching my children with their children, it made me a better father. I was like, oh, shit. So this is what it is. Yeah. You know, you're a better grandfather than you are a father, than you were a father. I can say that for sure. Yeah. My grandson come by the house the other day, man, and that. That chump. That chump walking and, you know, my other grand boy, that chump walking and talking. And every time he see me go, hey. That's what I say to him. I'll be like, hey. When he see me on the face, I'm like, hey, what'd they call you? Grandpa Face G. G. Yeah, but. But Chris. Papa. Yeah. They called me papa. Yeah, he started that shit. That's all right. I'll get him back. That's what my grand called me. My grandson called me papa. I want to be papa. Man. That's too bad. What you thought? What you are you fucking 60? Bro, bro, you are 60 as close. I'm 36 months older than you, man. That man counting, I would have been like, that's why I should have stayed in school, huh? Man, I can't remember, man. I can't remember nothing, man. I can't remember nothing, man. Are you cool? Are you. You cool with the parents, with their mom? I think so, yeah. Cuz you ran into a parent. But you know what? At this point, it ain't even about being cool with the moms no more. It's about being cool with the kids. But you had a situation where you was giving cash to one of the moms and not through the court. Yeah, I mean, everybody's gonna go through that shit. Yeah, everybody's gonna go through that shit, man. And I think that that is probably the most unfair thing that you could do to a man. As a matter of fact, that creates a strain in parenting. You know what I mean? You be like, man, I wanna spend time with my dad and be like, you was a. You was a token. You was a check, you. Wasn't that Right? This ain't that. You know, you was a pawn for a bigger scheme. I don't. And it's sad, you know, that that kid has to suffer like that. Yeah. Because the lady want to drag the parent, the other parent through some shit, and it's all on us. You had to go through this shit too. I have. Yeah. So everything fall on the dude, you know, when. But we were young. I think the thing is, face, like, when you young, you don't really. It's not like, you know, if you have kids like in your late 20s, early 30s, but when you having kids as a teenager in your early 20s, y' all don't know how to be no parent. And you're not doing what's in the best interest for the kid. I. I get mad at you. I'm trying to punish you, but I'm actually hurting the kid. And it wasn't till you start to realize, like, look, come on now, it's about them. It ain't about us. And then once you realize that, you're like, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, well, in my case, big brother, and in a whole lot of cases, and I can speak for a lot of men out there, like, in that situation that had a lot of money, it's guys that don't want to parent them kids. Some kids. Because the mother used that kid as a payday. He like, here, I'm just gonna pay you off. I don't want nothing to do with either one of y'. All. And that's some bad shit, too. Yeah, it is. Absolutely. You know, but it is what it is. If mama would have been, you know, straight up in the beginning, then that wouldn't have been the result in the end. Right. And don't do bad shit to everybody else because you know the shit didn't work out with you. Right. You know, don't be bitter at him because it didn't work out. You know, just take that. Yeah. You have to do. Sometimes you just have to bite your lip and do. You know, hey, I understand. You don't like me, but hey, I'm still gonna come get the kid. They going to the super bowl, they gonna be with me during the summer. They gonna do all that stuff, all that shit, all that. I get it. Yeah. Yeah. And it works like that. In some cases. You have to. Chris just left, but Chris is your son and he gave you second chance at life. He gave you a kidney when you found him. I gave him the first chance. Nah, I'm messing with you. Go ahead. Nah, you found out because obviously you gotta go to Match. It's not a match. That's not. That's not true. No. If me and you. Yeah. We'd have to see if we match. Right. But he come out my nut bag, right. So I know that's my kid. You know what I mean? Yeah. So how do you ask a son? I did not really. He asked me. You broke down crying, didn't you? No, not then. I probably could now, though. Cause he saved my life. Yeah. You know what I mean? I said, nah, I need a Ferrari. That's what you woulda said, rotten motherfucker. That's why I ain't call you. That's the main reason why I ain't call your ass. Cause I knew what you was gonna say. Chris. Hey, Chris. You should have held out, Chris. You could have gotten. And then just this past, I think it was, what, October. You had the heart. August. August, yeah. Yeah. Were you short. Were you having shortness of breath? What was going on? So I had an aortic hernia back in 2014. And when they scoped me, they noticed that I had an aneurysm on my aorta, a small one. And they was like, you Know, we ain't gotta do nothing now, but we gotta watch it. And I was like, okay, cool. And I was like, well, y' all might as well go on and fix it if he can, you know. He said, nah, we gotta cut you off. And I was like, no, thanks. You're right. Yeah, no, thank you. And as time went on, man, time went on. We was watching. We was watching it. We was watching it. We was watching it. Caught the COVID Kidneys fell, you know, running the heart, you know, they didn't know what the COVID was. I was probably one of the first people in America to have this shit. Wow. Yeah. And they seen what it did to your heart, seeing what it did to your lungs and all this. And they noticed that the little thing was getting bigger, the aneurysm was getting bigger. Fast forward to kidney transplant. It's there. It's time to go ahead and get it done right? You know? But I pushed it off, pushed it off, pushed it off, pushed it off, pushed it off for years. And it kept getting bigger and bigger. It just wouldn't go. It's not going to go away. That problem is one of those ones that just don't go away. So my cardiologist did. He worked me up and looking at it and introduced me to my surgery. His name is Dr. Andrea Corte. Probably the most sought after, best heart surgeon in the world. He did babies, you know, he did their surgery, right? So he's really, really incredible. Long story short, man, he was like, man, he wanted to put me on a transplant list to get a heart transplant. Wow. Yeah. He said, man, why don't you do a CT scan so I can just see what I'm up against, Right. You know, so that Friday, well, that. Whatever day that was, we did the CT scan. He saw it or whatever. And then I say, well, I'm gonna be ready when I come off this tour. And I can't remember what month that was. I think it may have been February or something. And he insinuated to, you know, he said something to the extent of like, I may not have that much time, but I didn't want to have this shit done in the first place. So I was willing to run, Run the risk of dropping dad on stage if I had to. Right? That's real shit. It's real shit. When I came back off the tour, I had an appointment and he said, we're gonna schedule it. This was in April or June. We were scheduling it for August. Right? All right. So time kept coming near, kept getting near kept just coming, cycling, man. I go to the doctor and they wanna do another CT scan. And I opted out of it Friday. That Friday. I said, I'll come back Monday and do it. Cause I gotta be in here Tuesday to do the surgery anyway. So I went in there Monday morning and got the CT scan done. And they were looking at it and everybody looked nervous and worried, right? And I told him, take this shit out of my hand. I'm not staying here. I'm having surgery in the morning. I'm gonna go. And one of those doctors came in and told me. He was like, hey, man, you coming in in the morning to have surgery? I said, yeah. He said, good. Don't forget, right? I left. I'm having lunch with. With a good friend of mine and her bodyguard. And they called my phone and she said it was the surgeon coordinators that said, the doc said, you need to be back in the hospital now. You need to be back in the hospital right now. I say, well, I got a tee time. Tell the doctor. Tell the surgeon to call me and tell me that himself. So two seconds later, my phone rings and I say, damn, doc, it busted. He said, I don't know if it happened a week ago or 10 minutes ago, but you need to get back now. So I went and I got me a pint of ice cream and some butter pecan. No, vanilla from homemade vanilla. And I went to French's. Cause I knew that was it. So you said, I'm gonna have me some vanilla ice cream. What drinks you had? Some fried chicken. Fried chicken? Yeah. I went to the hospital, man. And I remember my mama saying that it's just a win win for him. If he live, he win. If he die, he win. And shit. I got up a couple of days. I didn't even know. I didn't even know it was. I thought it was like the same, right? It was like two days later. It was like a day and some change later. Yeah. Like, I was out of there. And when I woke up, they had the tube in my mouth and I could breathe, but I couldn't breathe right? So Ms. Felicia was like, put him back down. Putting it back down. Like I was trying to take that tube out of my mouth. But they had me strapped down and I couldn't breathe right? So they put me back out again. And then they put me. They put you in a coma? Had you. They put me back out, but the lady was trying to get me to do shit. And I was like, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. And all of a sudden I just went.

Cause I remember calling you and you like, man, I just, I said, man, stop bullshit. Yeah, I had it. And I woke up, man, from that shit without everything and you the only one I left. FaceTime be coming. Man, I said, man, you ain't had no damn open heart surgery. He said, man, he said, answer the phone. Look, I know you take no FaceTime. Bring the heart open. No. Yeah, you got it. But. But the first thing I said when I woke up, I seen my mama. Man, I looked up my mother tough. Mama tough, mama tough. And she said, yeah baby, you tough. But that was the first words to my mama. And I'm tough mama, right? Yeah. Now, you work out, you watch what you eat. No, you don't watch what you eat. Get up and walk away from me. Yeah, no, I'm just playing bad here. You said if you knew you gonna live so long, you took better care of yourself. Hey, man, my mama used to say that, man. Now I understand why. Yeah, If I knew I was gonna live this longer, I'd take better care of myself. You still eat oxtails, though. You still eat fried chicken? You still eat pork chop? No, I don't. You eat fried catfish? No, sir. You don't eat nothing fried? Once in a while I don't really eat bad. And I don't eat a lot either. So what's the. What's a typical meal? Okay, you gonna be breakfast. You a breakfast person? I am. Okay, you what? Grits, eggs? No, I eat two. Two scrambled, not scrambled, over easy eggs. Okay. And I eat chicken sausage with it. Okay. And then for lunch, I may eat a salad. And then for dinner, it could be anything. You don't eat salad? Ah. I mean. I mean, not just a salad. Yeah, I can eat a salad. So you have chicken on it. You have. You like salmon? I love salmon. That's my favorite. That's my go to. But now I don't really. I don't really go ham on food no more because I've been fat before and I'm taking testosterone shots and I'm getting fat again. So are you not working out? Not yet. What you waiting on? Man, I gotta get. Man, I just had open heart surgery less than a year ago. I don't wanna be lifting no weight. This motherfucker bust back open. I'm sitting on the football field with my little league football team and I'm. Excuse me, trying to teach. This the kid? Yeah. I had to do a goddang push up and I get down there and I feel this shit pulling apart again. I'm like, damn. Yeah, well, you took the shot before you started working out. You supposed to work out, then take the shot. No, man. See, there you go looking at me. I came with you, man. You won't take nothing serious. How did you guys. The ghetto boys, how did that come about? Were you all friends? Did y' all know each other? I didn't know him. Well, damn. Didn't know him. Most people start a group, they know each other. Went to high school together, went to middle school, lived in the same neighborhood. How the hell y' all form a group? Did not know each other from the jump. So the Scarface song, Jay heard it and then come to the crib. Wanted me to be a ghetto boy. So I get into the van. This is the infamous band with Willie and Red and Bushwick. And I think Jukebox was there. And Bushwick was a dancer at the time. He wasn't even no rapper yet, right? And it was me, Willie D and Jukebox that was rapping. That's why when you listen to Trigger Happy, I can't say it was that. There was a couple of songs that Jukebox had did when he was a part of the Ghetto Boys that knew when me and Bushwick, I mean, me and Willie, Bill wasn't in the group. He was just a dancer at that time. Let me remember this correctly. But some kind of way Jukebox had left the group. And I don't remember if it was Willie's idea or Jay's idea, whose idea it was to have this little rapper talking cash shit and rapping, you know, a little guy. And so from that point on, Bido worked with him in the mirror, you know, helping him, you know, with his words, with his raps. And Willie and I wrote records for Bill, right, while he recited them. But I didn't know Bill and I didn't know Willie. I didn't know none of them, you know. And Read left the group before my Mind Playing Tricks On Me came out. Before that. We can't be stopped out, right? And shoot, that's kind of how I gotta have it, how it went. Yeah. I didn't know nobody and they didn't know me. But I would make a record with them and I would just be. I'd be gone. I'd make a song and I would leave. But then Jay put us at the ranch, and then we had to stay there, right? So we make a song and then start another song and then start another song, you know? And we did that for a week or two, right? We made that first Ghetto Boys album in a week or so. Two weeks. If there was a biop about the Ghetto Boys, who's gonna play Scarface? What age were you in the Ghetto Boys? What age do you have to say, like, talking about the time that I was in it. Yeah. I don't know. I'd have to use one of my kids like Cube did. Cube used his kid to portray him. But can your kid rap, Chris? Can you rap? Yeah, you can. Brad can rap. Bryce can rap. Okay, somebody can rap. If not, I would find an actor, somebody good. Probably the dude that played Bobby Brown or something. J. Prince said the feds tried to get you to flip on him. Do you remember that time they always trying to get somebody to flip on Jay? Yeah, but you stayed 10 toes. If J. Prince said him, Suge, Irv, Gotti were trying to create a distribution label, and that's when all the shit started. Really? Well, I feel like that when they was talking about flipping the script and taking the power away, you know, I think if you putting out your own. If you're 100% independent and you putting out triple platinum albums independently, then. And you taking everybody out, can't nobody eat off of it but y', all, right? Hell, somebody's gonna start paying attention because you with somebody's money, right? You know, and this ain't nothing but, man, America ain't nothing but money and law. That's it. You got money in the law, right? That's the only thing that separates money and law. The album cover. We can't be stopped. Is that the greatest cover? I hated it. Why? If you look at my face on that. On that album cover, I absolutely hated that cover. What the. I just feel like it was. You know, I always say that, too. Like, I think. I honestly think that that was Chief that pulled that patch down off BLI. Did his girlfriend really shoot him in the eye? That's. Y' all made that up? No, a girl shot Bill in the eye. For real. What are you shooting with? 22. 22? Yeah. Shot him in the eye. So he wasn't making that up and say, my eye. I wasn't there. Oh, but I know that he shot him in the eye. She shot him in the eye. That was a hard cover, though. It is a hard cover. But, you know, the man was. Bill wasn't even woke. He sitting up in that motherfucker dead. He was like, how y' all do the man? Like that, man, that wasn't. See what I'm saying? That wasn't me. Hey, Chief had it with the phone in his hand, too. Gotta prop his ass back up. Look. Sup, Bill? Politics. You ran for councilman and you gonna run council? Yeah, I ran for city council. You gonna do it again? Will you do it again? I am. I was gonna do it this time, but this snake in the grass. Yeah, don't say no names, but he's a snake. He was telling me that he was gonna do this in this seat, and I was gonna do that in that seat. And. Yeah, man, we gonna do this together, man. We gonna be together, man. And Then push turned into a shove and homeboy was like, he did something else. So. Nah, I'm gonna do it though. Again. Gonna do it again. Yeah, but it won't be on those terms though, right? It'll be on my own. Have you always been into politics? I have. I've always been into politics. Tricks, politry, politics. Okay? That's what's happening now, right? I think that if people really gave a damn about the condition of black people, then they would do more than talk, right? You know, they would do more than spoon feed us. If you really, really, really, really, really gave any a damn about the condition of our community, then you would do what needs to be done for that community. And it's not putting programs in place or it's not, you know, government assistant, or it's not this or that or taking our education away from us. So we'll never know who the we are. It's not that. All right? And I don't know why a certain group of people feel like they have to continuously punch down. That's a word, punch down on black people. I know for a fact that black people are so great. So great. I'm talking about birthright great. Yeah, birthright great. Until people would do anything to dim that light. Do anything to dim that light or make you forget who you are and then impose and interject the you that they want you to be. And that would be the you that you become. If you really think about it, I know you're a sports fan and you guys got kd. Y' all gonna win the championship this year. I like kd. I like KD too. I asked you, are you gonna win the championship? I said I like kd. Damn. We have a. Y' all got a good ass team. We got a kd. Amin Thompson, y'. All Shingoon. Y' all re sign Van Fleet. Shingoon. Spell it. Never mind. Cause look, when I was a little boy. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold.

So when I was a little boy, right, we say a big ass word. Yeah. And my grandma be like, so and so, so and so. Spell it. Yeah. So when I heard Shangoon. Yeah. I said, spell it. Yeah. I think it's S E, N, G U, E. However you spell it, boy. So one time Brad was like 4 or 5 and Bryce was like 2, right? And Bryce walked up to Brad and he slapped the shit out of Brad. And I heard. And I looked back and Bryce said, ooh, Brad, I'm sorry, Brad. I'm so sorry, Brad. I'm sorry, Brad. That was an accident. And I say accident. Spell accident. He said B, R, Y, C, E. Accident. It was an accident. He didn't mean to do it. Hey, Bryce spelled accident. That was really good. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. So y' all gonna win the championship this year? What about. I didn't say that. The Texans. Y' all win the championship. I love C.J. stroud. I love our head coach. I love. I like Miko. I like d', Ameco, d'. Amico. Ryan's is a mean. He's a cold ass lineback. I don't have nothing bad to say about the Texans, the Rockets or the Astros. I think we got three different sport franchises that are excellent right over there. We can go to the games and stuff. I'm not going nowhere with you. I wouldn't. And it's not me. And I'm not the genius. That's why they don't have me in that seat. But I don't move. Jalen Green and a few first round draft picks. KD at this age, they trying to win now, like tomorrow. Okay. Yesterday, man, I don't think there's nobody in the league that's gonna be better than K.D. right now. Yeah. So. But he's 38. 36. Oh, he 36? Yeah. Warren, why you tell me, man? 38. Oh, he 36? Yeah. Oh, shit. I would have took K.D. any day. I thought he was old as hell. Nah, I thought. You remember when the Rockets picked up Scottie Pippen? And Scottie Pippen was like 42. Yeah. Like, damn. Then they picked up. He on his last leg. Yeah. Yeah. KD ain't on his last leg. KD got some mean ass game. Yeah. So now that KD's 36, he automated. And yeah, we'll probably get to the dance, but we gotta go see God damn Steph, man. And Steph can shoot from outside in the parking lot. Y' all gotta go see the Thunder, too. Oh, them young cats with no names. Yeah. You talking about the no Name game? Ain't got no names over there. They don't have no big name. Do they got a big name over there, Shay, the mvp. He a big name? Never was he a big game big name. I mean. I mean, he's just been averaging 30 the last three years. I'm just saying, he's in. He wasn't. You ain't LeBron James. And Shay, you're not. You're not. Oh, that's Kobe. Like, you know. Yeah, but yeah, but I mean, you talking about historically all time transcendent great players. They ain't. But. Ain't but a thousand of them. But what I'm saying about these kids is they. That's a team full of no name. They're not star names. They great. They're not star. That works for them. And that worked, man. And they kicked ass, man. They kick. I'm so proud of the Thunder, man. Like them was little kids, man. Them kids can't be. How. What's the oldest? 25. I think the average age is like 26. God dang. And you did that. They did that. Wow. I'm very. That's. And coaching. Let me get off the players now and get on the coaching. Cause they probably had that team a couple of years ago too. It got better. That coaching, man. That coaching, bro. Can't beat that coaching, man. So. Nah, I'm proud of the Thunder. So we gotta get through Steph and then we gotta get through the no Name game and then we'll get to the dance face. Thanks for stopping by, man. Don't squeeze my hand hard, bro. I swear to goodness. Much love, bro. See, you try to get me. I wasn't trying to squeeze that motherfucker hard, man. His hand feel like two big ass ketchups. Ms. Right Signing. I'm trying to shake the man head. Scarface, Ladies and gentlemen. What's gonna be unique about this today we're gonna throw out a song and. And Face is gonna tell us the meaning behind the song. Where it was, what he was thinking when he actually wrote the lyrics to this song. So the first song we're gonna start out with is Mary Jane and how the music came about. How that came about. Yeah. So I'm in the. I wrote it originally to the Commodore song called say yeah. Okay. You'll feel that now that you know that. Okay. Like the way the words are spaced out. So I wrote it like that. I ended up recording it in la and Mike Dean came up with a piano line. It went like this. It was like. And then Tone hit the drum and it was kind of like. Right. I remember clearly because I had took a. This is bad. But I took an ecstasy. And it's just one of them being in the studio in a vocal booth by yourself. And it was cold. And the only thing that came to my mind was. And I don't really remember feeling like this. Right. And it went. That's how I went. I wanted to. I wanted to make it sound as like I was talking about a woman Right, right. So I met my mother in law's house. My wife is laying in the bed sleeping. I'm like, damn, I've got this love forming in my life for this Damon indeed of the form of life and that's a shame how man can fall in love with leaves and now the brains not afraid to let you up and leave and do your thing. Share the happiness with all my folks and got us high for the days that we was. Hey, wait. Share her happiness with all my folks and got us high for the days that we were lost and broke. Shit. I said shit in this song got us by on the radio. It got by right? Got us by only right we stop and get the props because she came block up only find the crops I need to hear you saying so the same chick that sung is the thuggish, ruggish bone. Yes. Sung the hook on this. Really? Really? And. And she went. And Tone was saying, say, Mary, I love. That came from the Rick James part of it. Yes. We go, mary, I love. Now I pick up my guitar and I put a B that's going. And then going. And then the hook came back in, was like, Mary love. Second verse is like. When the world starts to stress you out, what you do? Put a cancer stick off in your mouth or grab a brew sold in stores. But the fact remains this, they were made. And the government's been taxing that getting paid. That's why I was all illegal in the first place. That's why I was all illegal. Because the government couldn't tax it and get paid from it. But if it's taxable, it's cool as smoke. Then kill or not, ain't it alcohol that's killing folk? True or not? Other people try to make you bad but I know you not. When my situation is looking sad I know I've got a true friend in my time of need. Cause you all I need. Girl, you natural, you come from seeds not out of greed. It makes me happy when I'm feeling pain and once again it makes me happy just to hear your name. Do your thing, Mary Jane. Just sit there and you just smoke down. Yeah, when you didn't need to smoke out, you was already high. Yeah, but that song make you smoke out. I was exed out when I. Yeah, exactly when I wrote it. And that's why you hear the ver. The first words going. Got this love forming in my life and then got no going for this day and indeed the form of life. That's a shame. Like it was some going on in that song that was kind of. You had to be high face. When you're writing a song, do you have an idea of the chords that you missed it? No clue. You just writing the words? I'm just writing the music. Okay. To songs. And then the words will kind of come like you kind of start off with a piece of an idea and then you write a verse to it and then whoever you're working with on the song will, you know, will start working on it more and putting it more together. So you write your first verse and you lay it and then you work on the music a little bit and you go home and you write the second verse and then you put the first verse with the second verse and then you write the third verse and then you lay it all and then you listen to it and listen to it and listen to it and then you go back and re record it. And sometimes I don't even have to re record it. Plus it's that perfect. Wow. I believe in being absolutely perfect. So you don't, you know, a lot of times when you want to set or you're doing a move, you're doing a commercial. Oh, that was perfect. But let's do one more time just to make sure you like, once you lay it and you like, you feel good about it. You done. That's it. I don't need a safety. Don't need one. Guess who's back. So that was a record. I was trying to get a record from. From. From. I was trying to get a record from Jay Z. Okay. And Kanye was playing Beats and Jay Z was sitting in the corner in a chair and Kanye was playing Beats and Jay was sitting there and he was talking and then he heard those pianos and he was like.

And he'd be like, he'd be looking at you like, yeah, I'm about to give you the business right quick. So that's all it takes for him to do ooh a couple of times. And he go in the vocal and he lay his vocals like he never wrote nothing down. He didn't write it down. So he just hearing the beat and he just hear. And he goes into the, to the booth and he lays it down. And then I'm sitting at the board. He leaves me stuck at the board writing every time. Dabs me up and he leaves the room, right? I come in, I'm writing. I'm thinking about what I'm gonna say. So I'm writing it. And I said, from the womb to the tomb with a hot pot of jar and a spoon trying to touch me 40,000 and move. Listen. From the womb to the tomb with a hot pot, a jar and a spoon trying to touch me 40,000 and move to the next dose. But yeah, straight into the tomb A hot potted jar and a spoon trying to make me 40,000 and move. Motel star studded rock stars and goons playing clothes Want to run in my room but guess who's Bizat? It's your boy face Mom, I started with an eight ball. Gotta get this cake dog if a break now you know how the game go. You think I slain f to go against the grain? No, I'm out here in grind mode wrapped up in the paper chase. I want a, a fine hoe candy paint the 88. I ain't got no wholesale cause that ain't how I want to run it. Here, take these five stones and bring a back 100. I gotta see my feet. Dude, you do a fiend do. The fire get too hot in the kitchen I hit them streets. Food money is an issue and that's on the pacificle my nizzle your block warm I come by with that pistol and make for sure I get to work mine. Work harder time. Because if a got a block bubbling right and you want that, the only way that you can get that block from this is go by there and shoot it up. And then the cops will be sitting out there. Okay? All right. I come by with that pistol and make for sure I get to work mine one car at a time. We go to war and you ain't making a dime. You don't want to go to war. Let me go on down here and work my too. You know we'll go to war and you ain't making a dime. Cause I ain't got to lose a out here paying his dues. My baby walker gotta get in some shoes.

Let me get the bruise get out of line Imma get you the blues on my block. So I was in the studio. These are Def Jam albums, by the way. Those. Those are Def Jam songs. And those songs were sold. That was. That was probably the easiest time I've ever had to record an album because I didn't have to make the music to it. Okay, but a couple of guys came by the studio. Well, Nasheem Merritt came to the studio and he was playing beats. And they had this record that was by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. And it went like this. It was like, be real black for me. Be real black for me. Remember that? Yes. There's something about dope ass music. So I'm here in the vibe and I'm thinking about like the best way. Like what? How does the music make me. How does this beat make me feel? How does the piano riff make me feel like I want to say something about my neighborhood? Man. Man, like they daping like the same old thing on my block. Like let's reminisce on what's happening on the block. Every day been like the same old thing on my block. You either working or you juggle cocaine on my block you had to hustle cuz that's how we was raised on my block. And you stayed on your hop until you made you a knot on my block. Hangout was a thing back then and even if you left out, you came back in to my block. From Holloway Belford to Scott Reed rode the flock. We know the spots, just go weed of rocks, just go eat the rocks. We know how, we know where to get that from, man. We know where to get it. The scoe, the rocks, the drink or the blue dots on your block you probably bred a fat pad of Tupac, a big pun, a BEI your homework from knee high. And even if it was storming outside that be by that's me dog. On my block I ain't had to play no big shot. Them knew me back when I was stealing bill from Shamrock. And my nickname is Creepy. And if Black June can see me, he be tripping. And I bet he still probably teased me. On my block. Black June was the homie, man. Yeah, he got, he got killed young by a, by a police officer. He was in the high speed chase and they shot through the car and shot him in the back of the neck. 17 years old and he never got a chance to see that life, man. Cause he, he died way back in the 80s, man. And if Black June could see me, he'd be tripping. And I bet he still probably teased me, man. So my block. But everything is everything for Sheezy. On my block we probably done it all, homie, believe me. On my block we made the impossible look easy. But she. I never leave the block, the homies need me. Never leave the block. I never leave the block. I never leave the block. I never leave the block, the homies need me. Imagine if you took the game. You took the instructions out the game, right? It ain't gonna operate them. You know, I remember talking about the cars. It was like, on my block we racing polish bone stock. On my block I ain't have to play the big shot. On my block, Racing, polishing, polish bones. On my block we queuing all the time, playing dominoes. Keep the swisher sweets down till my mama goes back in the house. Hey, listen, do you remember when you used to have to hide your dope from your boy? You don't know nothing about it. So you Just have to hide that from your mama when they come outside. Right on my block, we queuing all the time playing dominoes. Keep that swisher sweet down until my mama goes back inside and then we can find fire. Yeah. Pass it around a few times and get high. Remember, sit back, man. The neighborhood. I got footage of this on my Instagram page. Us sitting in the backyard of my homeboy house, and we drink beer, we barbecue, we tell tales, you know, smoke a few squares. Pull it down for me. I remember. I remember when we was kids, right? I'd be like, man, let's go smoke some dope. And that meant it was gonna go out and smoke a few squares. And right now when somebody say, let's go smoke some dope, you don't know what they talking about. So I'll be like, you know what, man? Go ahead. I don't get. How about. But, you know, back then, face, cigarettes, anything smoking, you had to hide from your parents. It wasn't just weed, you know, funny thing, I never had to do that. Really? You could smoke around your mom? Well, you were lucky. I mean, I don't know how lucky I was, but I grew up in the. But it started with my grandmother. Okay, all right. So I lived in the house of my grandmother and my uncles, and all my uncles smoked and. Right, right. And they started smoking at a young age. When I had a cigarette, I was smoking in the house. I couldn't have been no more than 9, 10. I know people don't think I'm full of. But I swear to God, I went 9, 10, 11, 12 years old, I'm smoking. Matter of fact, I'm at school with a smoking pass. Back in junior high school, you can smoke cigarettes at school if you had a pass, right. You had to get. You had to get cleared by your parents. You had to get cleared from your parents. I'm telling my age right now. I'm 54. But, yeah, I was smoking. For real? Yeah. Wow. Not proud of it, but you did what you did. I did what I did, man. This song. Because I really want to know the backdrop. I never seen a man cry until I seen a man die. The backdrop of that. So the backdrop of that, man, is I got high. Man, you've been writing some fire. Ish. When you high. Yeah, I was. I was stoned, and I. I promised that if I ever came down off that high, I would never get high again like that. But I was drinking beer and taking painkillers. Okay. And I had smoked the joint. I don't want nobody to try this at home because this. Whatever. What kind of combo were you on? Drinking beer, smoking, taking pain pills. So I had broke my arm. Either that or I got shot some. Something happened. Damn face. Yeah. And I needed. I didn't want to hurt no more. Nate Dog had the coldest song on that one. I don't want to hurt no more don't want to hurt no Ah, yeah. I didn't want to hurt no more. Right. So I took a. A pain killer. I was drinking Miller Lights. Anyway, I smoked a square, and that didn't end well. Did. Did it. Did the words. I mean, how long did it take you to come up to lay those verses for that? Did it just start the pen? Just started writing it like auto pen. So I was in the studio, and I made a beat, and it started with a baseline, and the baseline went, like, right. I did on the keyboard, and then I played the right. So that's what I wrote the words to. Okay. Debate. Debate. The be with. So that's the original way that I set it up. And then Mike Dean comes in with the. Let me hear. He had the. Mike Dean also played this guitar part that went kind of like this. So I had to take this home, right? Yeah. And I'm high as hell and the first thing I came up with was future's father with his hands out Rehabilitated slightly glad to be the man's child the world is different since he's seen it last in seven years he's out of jail and he's happy that it's free at last all he had was his mother's letters now he's mobile and he's got to make a change and make it for the better but he's black so he's got one strike against him and he's young plus he came up in the system but he's smart and he's finally making 18. Right. I'm coming up with these words, man. The words are flowing, right. But the more I wrote, the more dead I felt. Yeah, I was. I was gone. I. I had that kind of high that I had that blackout high. Yeah. You know, so that's the. That was the writing process on this song, man. I was. I didn't want to. I didn't. I didn't want to be high no more. You know what I mean? I remember. I remember that. That verse where I said, I hear you breathing but your heart no longer sounds strong but you kind of scared of dying so you hold on and you keep on blacking out and your pulse is slow Stop trying to fight the reaper Just relax and let it go. That's how high I was. Wow. I was high when I was writing that record. Yeah, I was. I. I really went in there and got some. Because there's no way you can fight it, though you still trying. And you can try it till you fight it, but you still die. Your spirit leaves your body and your mind clear. Water starts to set make you out of here like, that's real. That's. That's how I felt. Wow. But when I got to the studio, Atlanta, I wasn't high no more. I was coming to Atlanta, and it was like I was like. He greets his father with his hands up. Rehabilitated slightly but glad to be the man's child. The world is different since he seen it last out of jail been seven years and he's happy that he's free at last all he had was his mother's letters now he's mobile and he's gotta make a change and make it for the better. But he's black, so he's got one strike against it and he's young. Plus he came up in the system. But you never know how those words are going to come out upon delivery. Because I'm. I stand firm on letting the beat guide. Okay. I use my voice as an instrument. Like, I don't. You'll never hear a song for me where the beat is doing one thing and my voice is doing another. Like, it's not going to be a mono tone, Right. Like, you know how some rappers get on the microphone and they rap the same way? Yeah. Every time. Because they're not letting that beat lead. You know, they rapping off of their own instinct and not letting that beat guy. You gotta let that be guide and in order to let that beat guy. It's a vibe, right? It's a vibe, man. So you know, some. Some records. You hear me rapping this way in the next, you hear, like, who is that? Right? Like, I remember one time we was doing that. Sitting at the stoplight, know, looking at hoes peeping out this in her black J. Bos. Windows rolled up tight, top was closed, blowing switches, sweet smoke out my nose. E40 called me, right? He like, man, you let Warren. You let Warren get on the track. I'm like, nah, that's me. Yeah. So I'm changing my voice. I'm changing. I'm changing the dynamic, the pitch. I'm changing the flow. The come lines are different, you know, the. The. The Patterns. The rap patterns are different. Sunday morning I'm off at church Sending throughout the week hustling every day I'm getting it as we speak I listen to preacher preach Mama singing the song ain't clapping the hands no choir singing the song ain't clapping the hands My mama singing along I'm uncomfortable, I want to leave can't let my mama see I ain't listening to the message but it's, it's, it's because it's different deliveries on different songs. Different songs call for different deliveries, different beats. Man, is it ever been a situation where you, you, you, you. You write it while you're high, and then when you come down off that, you're like, okay, I hope I can get right back into that head space that. Oh, once you're getting this in there, once you find out, once you get back to what you were writing and the pattern that you was writing it in, you in there. But I ain't wrote nothing high in a long time. Of course I ain't been writing, but I ain't did nothing. I ain't. Damn, Shannon, you trying to act like I'm just a dope fiend, like, I gotta be high now I'm messing with you. But not. I, I. It's just, you know, I don't smoke weed all the time. Okay. You know, but when I do, I'm not just gonna be burning out brain cells, right? So it's got to be something being created do. That's what I was about to ask. When you smoke, are you smoking to get in a, a, a, a frame of mind that you can write? No. Oh, you just smoke. You just smoking to smoke? No, I'm not smoking to smoke. I'm smoking. I'm smoking the. I'm smoking the spark ideas, right? But I'm just not riding around smoking all day long just to be smoking. So if you see me smoking some weed, I'm in a vibe, right? And I haven't smoked weed in a long time. Is that what it would take you to get back in? I mean, what would you smoke some weed? No. What would it take you to get back to the pen that we know face to have. They gotta pay. Like, this is free now. I'm not. It's not paying, man. Okay. You know what I mean? Like, this is where the money is. Like, short and I out on a tour. We're calling it the function, you know, this is where the money is. Even though tirelessly still recording. E40 still recording. Everybody's still recording. I just don't see the value. And I'm spoiled. I'm spoiled. I remember when you can sell a record, you can sell records. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, $10. Correct. Now, zero cent is zero. It's. It's half a cent on a cent for a stream. So I don't see the value. And wasted by time. I can't get my time back right. You know, I got a catalog that'll carry me and, you know. Yeah, you good? You feel me? Like, I got. I got a pretty decent catalog. And I'm always thinking of some. Some other funky ways to. To revamp me. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, this is. This just didn't come overnight. Like, I've been doing my band shift for 20 years. Matter of fact, Ant sent me something yesterday, sent us something. Where it was. Where. How long was that? 25 years ago. It was 25. Almost 20 years ago. Okay. Of us, you know, working with our band. All right? And I went on the road with a band and I wasn't even getting paid, but I knew that eventually the game would catch up to what I'm thinking. Yeah. Where I'm at in my mindset, because we can stand on stage and. And. And grab. Grab our. And walking and lip sync to our. Or we can bring it back to the essence of where it came from. You know, like I. We. We built this music, man. Right? We built this music. Tupac's last song he recorded was with you, 1994. Smile. I can't say that. Hello. Yeah. Do you remember that before he passed, it might have not been 94. What year would that did Smile come out? It came out. It came out in 96. It came out 97. But we recorded it when you guys. That September. Hey, man, you know what? It might could very well be the last song that he recorded. Absolutely. That could very well be the last song. Because I remember leaving la, going to Chicago, and getting. Hearing that he was shot. But me knowing Pac, like, I know Pac, you know, he gonna get up and he gonna be talking again, right? All right. You can very well be right, man, because we recorded that in September or June, and he got shot in that September. Okay. We recorded that song in June or July of 96. He got shot and killed in 96. September. Okay? So that could very well be that last record. But I like, me knowing Pac and how he worked. I doubt it possible, though, because he probably laid down 15, 20 songs a day. Because what that. That was, if I'm not mistaken, I think it was the, the Tyson Holyfield fight. It might have been Bruno. Check, check the fact. See, I went to the Frank Bruno fight. That was in like April of 96. Okay. Who did he fight right after that? I think it was Holyfield. I can't say that. We'll look it up. We got to look that up. Yeah, I think he was fighting both or somebody. It wasn't Holyfield though, because he, remember, he saw Holyfield back to back. 96. He fought him, he lost, and then he turned around and fought him again in 97 when he bit his ear. Yeah, but no, Pac was still around though. No, don't think so. I mean, see, we can look it up, get killed. I think it was September of 96. Okay, so when did Tyson fight Holyfield? December 13, 1996. 7, 13. So you say Tyson. Yeah, he fought him twice. He fought him in 96 and 97. He fought him in December. Right. He fought him on my birthday, November 9th. So yeah, November 9th, 1996. The second fight was June 28th, 1997. When is, when did Tupac get killed? September. Yeah, September 13th, 1996. So you can make a difference in someone's life, including your own, with a job in home care.

Is it in you? I think it was a Bruno. It might have been. Who did. Who did. Who was. Holyfield fight. That was. It was a fight going on out there. It was Mike Tyson and Bruno because I was at the Bruno fight in April. Yeah. Bruce Selden, Bruce Sheldon. Okay. One of them. Big on. Yeah. Busking. Yeah. But man, Pac was a hell of a dude, man. He was. He was before his time. He way before his time. More money mean, more litigating, more player hating. Got a. A sale at the pen for me waiting. Wow. So we smile when you writing that. What's going on? What are you thinking? So Pac, we recorded that like, way before he passed. Like a couple of. Record that in June or. Or July. June, July of 96. Right. And he ends up passing in September of 96. Right. So we wrote the song, you know, before he passed. And like, Pac would always have this thing with me where he would be so pissed off that I would be sitting at the board still writing and everybody threw it. They should, you know. And he would always say, hey, man, you gotta. You got to. You got to find a way to get across to the. Without offending them. Right. And the going to want what the want. And then whatever the last word is or your verse, that's the name of the song. And I was like, okay. But nonetheless, I still sat down in front of that board and I. I came up with those words, man. But it was done to a whole totally different beat. Shout out to Tone Capone and. And Mike Dean. Because I think that the job that we did on this song, on this version of that particular song was awesome, man. Tone always wanted those. Was it Piscatos? What do they call Piscatos? He always loved the. Johnny P was still alive. The one was like, do you want to ride in the back seat, my caddy chopping up or do what? Tony had a vibe in his head. Tell me, do you still care about me? Right? So he just broke. That came into Smile for me. That's Tom Capone. Won't you just smile for me? And then Johnny P was in the studio and he sung that, you know, some kind of way we got a chance to use that record on my album. But I remember sitting in the studio, writing it and recording it, man. That's when Pac told the engineer, man, you ain't got too many more my bads, right? He's gonna. That's when the. I think Pac man been the first one, the first artist to beat up an engineer. I could be wrong, but I know he used to beat his engineers up. I wrote it down like never. As I opened up my story with the blades of your blunt that's how you can reflect. That's how you can reflect. Okay? You know what I'm saying? So you kind of reflect on what I'm saying, man. Just sit back and damn. Yeah. As I open up my story Put the blades in your blunt so you can picture thoughts slowly upon phrases I run and I can walk you through the days that are done I often wish that I could save everyone But I'm a dreamer have you ever seen a who was strong in the game Overlooking his tomorrows and they finally came I look back on childhood memories and I'm still feeling the pain I turning circles in my ninth grade to dealing cocaine Too many hassles in my local life Surviving the strain and a man without a focus life could drive me insane I'm stuck inside a ghetto fantasy Hoping to change but when I focus on reality I'm broken in chains I had a dream of living wealthy and making it big but over football Chose to cook raw take it and dig and after all my mom was thanking God for blessing a child Cause all my mama got to do now is collecting and smile won't you just smile for me that's cold blooded it was kids writing music like this, man. I would love for us to be able to get our music back. You know what I'm saying? I would love for us to be able to make our music like we made our music, you know? Even though from Maze to R. Kelly, from R. Kelly to Chris Brown, we didn't lose too much into that. We didn't lose a lot, you know. That music's still great, man. It's kind of like from Rakim to Kane to Public Enemy to Cuban NWA to ghetto boys to, you know, a Snoop to. And then you start Tribe Called Quest. You gotta think about all of the great music LL Cool J, Run DMC, those masterpieces of. Of hip hop. You know KRS1? Yeah. You know, the masterpieces, the Jay Z's, the Nas. As I said, Nas already. Yeah, yeah, okay, well, I should have said it twice. So. I mean, those masterpiece classics that will always be remembered forever, you know what I mean? Yes. Like LL Cool J, bro. He don't get the credit that he deserves. No. He single handedly put this on the map, bro. He did. And then you have to look at. She got women to listen to, start listening to the rap because he was singing to them. Hey, man, the man, the man broke some down, man. On the record, man. That was mind blowing to me. Who can take the game of rap and rule it alone? Just playing many styles on the microphone like. The man was cold, man. And he, he single handedly gave us a player, a plat, a platform to stand today. Yes. With that Rock the Bell. Oh, for sure, man. I went out and I did a concert for Rock the Bells on a couple of occasions. Yeah. And this last one I went to in, in New Jersey. I walked out on the stage and were like, look at all these people. Hip hop lives, man. For sure. And, and, and thanks to that guy, that is, it's, it's, you know, it's recovering, you know what I mean? Like, he has some great on that. He had Rakim Kane, Plies, Boosie, Me, Roxanne, Shantae was on that. That's my twin. Yeah. But I, I, I, I, I love what he doing with it, man. I think that everybody should take time out and pause and, and thank LL Cool J for what he did and what he's doing for this culture, man. Like for real. Faith, thanks for performance, bro. Man, we ain't even started performing yet. Let's play, let's leave him. Let's go out with a bang fired up I don't even care what it is where we going out with I don't care Mind playing tricks on you got Friday Night Lights Damn, it feel good to be a gangster what you want to go out with now? Let's do something else what you got? Da da da da da da da da da da da can't be life, can't be love be more, can't be us it's gotta be more so I'm leaving to go to baseline from Def Jam. And I think my brother called me. I think Warren Lee called me and told me that one of the homies babies that had died, man, I was devastated because I got a two year old. I had a two year old back then. But that baby got a hold of something that he wasn't supposed to get a hold of that. And that kind of blew me the away. It was. That's why the verse came out so cold. Cause it was so true. Because I walked into the studio, to the studio to do this with Jim. I got a phone call from one of my niggs. They say my homeboy Reed, he just lost one of his kids. When I heard that, I just broke into tears. And he. In the second hand, you don't really know how that is. But when they hit that close to home, you feel the pain at the crib. So. So I called mine, said my wife with the bad news got my blessing. Plump my blessings. Cause brass too. That's. That's one of them ones, man. You gotcha Brad. Two years old when that happened, man. Loving your kids like he was ours. And I'm hurting for you, dog, but ain't nobody painting like yours. But I just know it happens. Heavens open his doors and view it on the blind one. On the bright side, you can view it like this. God's got open arms, homie. He in the midst who loves all. Who loves all and hates not one. Cause he in the midst and he in the midst of good company. Who loves all and hates not one. And one day you gonna be with your son. I could have talked about my hard times in his songs. But heaven knows I would have been wrong. Would have been right. Wouldn't have been us. It wouldn't have been life. It wouldn't have been love. It wouldn't have been right. Scary life. A lot of be bragging about their bands and. But I know for a fact can't nobody with them. You still up. I can stand. I can stand on the stage and stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Do that. Tell you, man, I gotta. All I gotta do is just dream it. I just gotta dream it. Live on on Club Sh. Shay. We're gonna get down into a deeper interview in a few minutes. But I just wanted my partner show up to see that musical side. Gonna give him the business. Hold on, hold up. Louder. Louder. Lo. Oh, yeah. Say once I live a life of a millionaire Spending all of my money, honey. Soon as my money got. I couldn't find a place. But if I ever get a dollar, I'm a photo sit in the gr. Nobody want sh. Down and out. So I hear a lot of people talk about their bands and man, but after being together, so we kind of know what we thinking. So it's y' all on the wavelength. Yeah, we don't. We We. We right there.
