[Jadakiss]

It was like a cheek.

Cheek. How'd you do it? Like tables. How'd you do, Jada, you was out there gambling.

[Jadakiss]

You know, I won. No, I always win. Fact, I won a little something I want to call them rap.

[Joe Crack]

And I seen when y' all wished him happy birthday, you could tell they both got two different personalities, right? Like, I could tell from watching.

[Jadakiss]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Crack]

That's it, right? It's crazy, because I could tell, like, one is like you in a way, and the other one's like you in a way.

[Jadakiss]

Yeah, that's ill. That's just. That's.

[Joe Crack]

That's the craziest shit I ever seen.

[Jadakiss]

Like, I'm looking. I'm like, split down the middle.

[Joe Crack]

I said, how they split this guy down the middle. Like how he caught the two for the price of one. But let me ask you something. So you had a great time?

[Jadakiss]

Great time. Everything is beautiful.

[Joe Crack]

Now I'm over here, I'm moving. You know what I'm saying? I'm waiting for you to get back from vacation. Cause I couldn't wait to come on this shit. Like, we got the number one shit. Hood. Whatever. Just. Just two days ago, I dropped. You know, every now and then, I drive my daughter through the hood, the Bronx. Just to let her know where I grew up. Every corner I stopped, it was three or four. I guess they call them YNs or whatever they like, yo, crack. Where's the 100 niggas with you right now, Joe? Yo, I'm with my daughter. I got my aunt, yo. They like, yo, but where's the one? Every corner I was hitting, they. And so what it is is just the podcast is so relevant on the streets right now that Joe and Jada is. I don't know if you feeling what I'm feeling, but the shit crazy. And guess what? It ain't gonna stop. It ain't gonna stop. So I go, okay. I go to US Open.

[Jadakiss]

I seen.

[Joe Crack]

Have you ever been to the US Open?

[Jadakiss]

I actually got invited today, but I had to work, so I'm here.

[Joe Crack]

All right, but let me explain something to you. When you do go in there, you're going to feel like you've been robbed your whole life. Because when you go in there, it's the nicest people, the nicest sweets. Everybody's rock and fly shit. They got everything. Benihana's fried chicken, this, that. All types. You can get a glizzy. No, no, I'm just saying. Come on.

[Jadakiss]

I had the labyrinth days. No glizzy.

[Joe Crack]

I went last year.

[Jadakiss]

Glizzies at. No glizzies at the lady.

[Joe Crack]

I was the voice of the US Open last year, so I had such a good time last year. I came to this one, right? I wanted to see Taylor Townsend, right? This woman's a class act, you know, the other girl screamed on her, right? And she from overseas, so we all know it felt like some racial undertones to it, right? Because they don't feel like she could be classy enough or educated enough. She took the high road and said, you know what? I don't know what she was thinking. Maybe she was upset. I took the W. I'm on to the next. I seen a gain so many fans, the game I went to. She started playing at 11:30 at night. When I tell you them white people waited for her and was cheering like she gained the whole. She opened the Pandora's box of fans just playing the high road, right? She smoked the girl, the number five. The girl was so mad that she was beating her like that, she smoked her. And then the joker, Djokovic, how we say his name correctly? Djokovic, right? It's crazy. We talking about tennis, you know? I remember Shaq said, anybody with a bitch in the back of the day could shoot that three. That's a guaranteed.

[Jadakiss]

Same goes for tennis. I guess, too.

[Joe Crack]

I guess so. But the guy is the biggest. And I'm up in there just having a good time, smiling with everybody, having a good time. The man turned around after he win the game in his speech, start talking about Joe Crack. I'm in the back, y'. All. Big time rapper. This, this. If we didn't have cameras, don't you.

[Jadakiss]

Say that he did the lean back.

[Joe Crack]

No, he did the lean back. No, no. He invited us to go meet him in person. And he was telling me, yo, every time I play Lean Back, I win the game. Don't make me throw extra sauce on the shit. Cause there's a lot of extra sauce on the. No, say. So he went over there. Yo, big time fan. You don't want to. His whole crew. You. You could tell when y' all pull up. You could tell when somebody really with Kiss, because they, like, fanned out. So his whole crew was, like, fanned out. Like, oh, Crack, yo, this right. But the point is, if I don't got that in video and it wasn't on tv, they call me Cap. This is type of shit happened to me every day of my life. It just so happened to play out on TV. Like, what's the odds of me going to the US Open? They said in 30 years, they never seen the tennis player shout out a rapper in the crowd. Like, I can't make this shit up. It just went down. It's the blessings. The trains is coming, baby. And so last night, I was home all day shout out to Special, Brooklyn Chop House. I went to Special's birthday through that.

[Jadakiss]

White shit up scene with that white Gucchero.

[Joe Crack]

Yeah, you know, it's that, you know.

[Jadakiss]

Scene with that Gucchero, man. Man, I said, look at my boy over there, man.

[Joe Crack]

They. They said heavy Brooklyn. I wanted to feel like I was part of the Caribbean parade or something. So I had to pull up, you know what I'm saying? And so we had the best time. And yesterday I'm home all day because I had like, two, three drinks in the Brooklyn Chop House. I'm no good, guys. If you ever want to beat me up. You ever wanted this. Come the next day after I'm drink, I'm worthless. Nothing over there drinking a million waters. Coconut waters. This. I'm up. So I'm home watching Hostage on Netflix. Don't worry about. I'm in a movie theater, and all of a sudden, I start hearing the doorbell ring. This, this. It's already like a 8 o'. Clock. 8:30. The party starts. The Labor Day party starts in my house. I never realized I live in the party house. So Arande comes in with Angie Martinez. He got a sound system. He's He's. He's got. He's playing. He's got. With the fucking biggest speaker in the world. And then DJ Mary J. Blige appears. She come up in there. I didn't know she's the dj. So she start playing all the. I want to thank you and all this. Next thing I know, they doing the Congo line. Shout out to Terrell. They. They dancing around the. And I start getting into it. We start. You know, every night I'm trying to. Like.

Now, Kiss the Mac project is something me and him spoke about years ago, before, you know, before he even got shot and all of that. So it was always in the works. It was always a thing of it. And now with social media spreading like wildfire.

[Joe Crack]

I ain't going lie to you.

[Jadakiss]

[Joe Crack]

Cause, you know, you and Beanie on some shit, they automatically started the yo they making.

[Jadakiss]

The whole world knows it's his song, right? It's just you over here that was in the Hamptons, that. Man.

[Joe Crack]

What I gotta say is. Cause we got to. We lead by love.

[Jadakiss]

We journalism.

[Joe Crack]

We. We. We journalists. We running the hip hop culture. We can't act like we don't see this shit every 10 seconds on the Instagram. Little Woody. This one. That one. That one. The ATL's on fire right now. Like, it's like, we're not gonna get into their politics.

[Jadakiss]

Yeah. ATL is like ATL second and a half or third home. So what I got to say for that is, each his own bottle Patron. Then you can finish.

[Joe Crack]

What I'm gonna say is it's a real shit show clusterfuck going on out there. And what I'm saying to you is, I'm gonna let y' all straighten your own shit out, you know what I'm saying? Because that shit ugly out there. And then this host. It's ugly out there, man. And then you got our. Our king of raps. I was Sammy the Bold. Like, who made 6, 9. Ine the new. Like, you ain't rat like Me, it's like he got his own book of, right? He got his own, like the. The 48 laws of rattan, right? No, I'm cook. I'm calling the flag on this. Calling the flag.

[Jadakiss]

Listen, eat his own bottle Patron.

[Joe Crack]

Bottle of Patron. But let me tell you something, man. I'm gonna stick to what I know. I could give you some game atl. I could give you some real game, right? Because your superpower and I could be greedy and be a New York guy just thinking about, yo, let's take the game back. Because the biggest superpower that ATL got is unity. And all of them sticking together and making songs with each other right now, that shit is, like, out of control. What's going on out there? So I wait to see the results of this thing, but this is ugly, man. And shout out to everybody out there in the atl, we love you, man. We love your food. We love the people. We love everybody.

[Jadakiss]

That's why I'mma just each his own bottle of Patron.

[Joe Crack]

Each his own bottle of Patron. But it's nasty out there.

[Jadakiss]

I'm gonna tell you what. I don't got nothing to do with none of that. I got a lot of love in the A. But the one thing I don't like, that got nothing to do with that. Atlanta. This is everywhere. Outside that door right there. Over there. Everywhere.

[Joe Crack]

Anywhere.

[Jadakiss]

The new corny shit of all times. If somebody don't like each other or somebody don't fuck with each other or things of that nature, the big deal that they make like to knock the stick off your shoulders when Kiss unfollowed crack. What the fuck is that stupid shit ever. It goes everywhere. It goes on tmz. It goes to the White House. Yo, you heard Kiss and Crack. They stop following each other. What they fucking do? What is that? That's the new standard is all out nukes pointed at each other. When somebody stopped following somebody else's, that's like top of the line.

[Joe Crack]

Follow me.

[Jadakiss]

No, but I'm just saying if I did, they would make it. I'm not saying us when people. That's the new thing.

[Joe Crack]

You know why? Because social media has become false currency. So people think they rich on social media, especially the youth. We grew up at a time where there was no bro. We grew up at a time where it was no cameras. It was no nothing. Like a motherfucker had to come with a real Polaroid to take a picture of you.

[Jadakiss]

Facts.

[Joe Crack]

We walking around the streets for the kids that don't know. It's like Rare for a guy to be walking with a camera. So every once, two weeks, somebody caught you with a camera. It wasn't like every day these guys are shooting. This shit is crazy.

[Jadakiss]

It was special to have a camera when we was little.

[Joe Crack]

No, we didn't afford a camera.

[Jadakiss]

Yeah, you had to get the shit from the bodega.

[Joe Crack]

They did a documentary type shit of me, and I was looking for young pictures, and I couldn't find shit. And I went to my uncle angel because nobody was giving me answers, who's actually a pastor. I knew he wouldn't lie. He said, yo, Joe, I'm gonna be honest with you. We ain't have enough money to own a camera. We said we didn't own the camera. That's why there's no pictures of you as a kid. That's how fucked up we was. So the point I'm saying is, I go to a restaurant the other day, old school, one of the best in New York City. I've been going there for 30 years. One of the best. If I'm not there on Monday, Tommy Mottola's there on Tuesday. This one, sold out. How about that? Sold out. Every day, every table, sold out. The man wouldn't stop telling me, yo, I see you shout out these, this restaurant. I see you shout out this one. I see you this. I'm a little upset. Tommy Mottola don't post us. I'm a. This, this, this. I don't know if he understands that people use social media to get business. Your shit is already sold out. You don't want to. So when you got an old man still didn't say, no, no, but this is an old man still didn't say, this is.

[Jadakiss]

He just wants you to say it.

[Joe Crack]

No, I'm not putting them on blast, these men.

[Jadakiss]

He wants you to say it.

[Joe Crack]

Dominic's Little Italy is fucking classic. If you go to Fordham University, whatever, you ain't getting no better Italian food in the Bronx than Dominic's is sold out now. So the owners, a little old shout out, my brother Charlie, and he's telling me, oh, y' all gotta post it up. Y' all gotta. I don't think he realized he ain't even got enough room for what's about to come if people start posting this shit up. But everybody so infatuated social media, with this social media, they think, this is where you gotta be. You know what I'm saying? And so we, as artists, we got to promote our shit. We got to, you know, us. You know, I like it. I Like posting and looking fly and doing fly shit. And that, me, is all about inspiration and motivation. When I was young, I would see a guy on the number spot, a hustler, a dissing that. And I would look up to them and be like, I want to be like them. They got the fly whip. They got the Fly girls, they got the dish. That's the motivation. Like, when I don't, you know, when I see Khaled, right, and I see him in Brooklyn standing on the Maybach, I don't look at the man like he's showing off. I look at him like he's motivating the hood. He's motivating them, letting them know, yo, we come from nothing. You can have this, too. And that shit got lost somewhere, where now, you know, people might misconstrue it or take it the wrong way. So I use social media for inspiring the youth, letting them know we could become whatever we want to become. And even you as a. You know, we. We come from so many broken homes. I mean, we going somewhere over here, but we grew up in so many broken homes. That is so important that our people see that they're successful families. You know, the twins had their birthday in the Bahamas. Their father took them there. They this. They gotta see that shit to know that it exists. And just because. And something. I, I, you know, I'm very scared of something. I'm very scared of when it comes to you, me, everybody fabulous. This one, whoever, all our friends in the business is that our kids could actually use the head start that we're giving them to become successful themselves. I don't want it to stop here. Because I don't know about you. If I go back to my family tree, and I'm not disrespecting, shout out Uncle Willie or my uncles. Cause they scream on me every time I say some shit.

[Jadakiss]

Uncle Willie, I love you.

[Joe Crack]

Uncle Will, we love you. But anytime, you know, if I go back in my family tree, nobody had it like this. Nobody was doing it like this. So you talking about hundreds of years of DNA. Nobody popped off like that. So it's like, I don't want my kids to think, all right, dad left us the money. That's it.

[Jadakiss]

Nah, keep that shit going.

[Joe Crack]

Keep it going, man. Do what you want to do. We ain't forcing our kids to be rappers or whatever. If you want to bake, if you want to open the school, if you wanted this, if you wanted that. We just want you to really try to be very successful at what you're doing because it scares me, because I know we grew up in the era of hustlers. You know, we grew up in the era of Jay Z. Coming from the projects to becoming a billionaire. We come from the era of Nasir Jones from Queensbridge fucking investing in the ring. We come from an era where Rough Riders took ownership, Diddy took ownership before that. The rappers before us really, really paved the way, but suffered a lot to this day. But we want our own families, the family aspect to continue and do what they got to do. It has nothing to do with music. We just want you to be successful at what you do so you can, you know, let's change this shit. Let's fucking change the fact that a hundred years before us, everybody in our family was fucked up. We ain't fucked up no more. Y' all got better schooling. Y' all got better place to live. Y' all got better knowledge and better connections, more technology. Son, come to me, you know, I don't care what you say. Fucking Jada's son. I'm gonna have to hear him out, try to help him if I can. Right? Same thing with all the kids that from. From our class of hip hop, you know what I'm saying? So they got that, you know, and just. I just hope that all because I know y' all watching. This is the biggest shit in the game, this show right here. I keep trying to tell y' all niggas this shit. They watching. They are fucking tuned in. I mean, but, you know, that's just a big up to. And anybody else. You. We trying to show you. I know it's. We rapping, but we trying to show you that you could change the family tree, that you could be successful, that you could take your family to a new level of excellence.

What we got over there?

[Jadakiss]

Anything i97.

[Joe Crack]

Oh, man, that's. Where you going with this?

[Jadakiss]

Yeah. Nice. This is serious. Flex did it. I think it was a great marketing. He made everybody think he was sucking me. It was his last day.

[Joe Crack]

Oh, man. Flex.

[Jadakiss]

But he was just changing.

[Joe Crack]

I know. They hit me up like, yo, he was changing another time slot. Come on. He got me, man.

[Jadakiss]

But then after that, we see he was kind of sad and somber. Our brother, Heavy Hitter creator.

[Joe Crack]

I wanted to cry.

[Jadakiss]

DJ Enough. Yeah, it was like they let him play.

[Joe Crack]

DJ Enough. Played my Flo Joe promo for Red Alert. He was the intern for Red Alert.

[Jadakiss]

Done numerous things for all of us. But what do you think about that? What do you think is what's going on with that? Because I also heard Flex say he was sincerely. Then he didn't do it. Yeah, he didn't do it.

[Joe Crack]

No. No Bones, no patrons. What's the.

[Jadakiss]

Each his own bottle of Patron.

[Joe Crack]

Each his own bottle of Patron. I love both those brothers. Fat Joe would not be here if it wasn't for both Those brothers.

[Jadakiss]

Facts.

[Joe Crack]

D.J. enough. I support him to the day I die. Same thing with Thing. But what he was saying was I listened to Flex immediately. I threw it on. I think it's the first time I played radio in my house. On the. On the speakers all around. Because I knew he was going to go crazy. I thought he was going to go crazier. But he said there's a guy named snake number one. Snake number two. He says, two DJs. That's with enough. The snake number one, snake number two. He kept saying that. Well, if this is Snake number one, Snake number two, then Angie Martinez and Mary J. Blige, they was trying to DJ in my house. That's Snake number three, Snake number four. Yo, everybody want the slot, but no Bones, no patrons. Guys, that shit is.

[Jadakiss]

I fessed it up, man. Each his own bottle of Patron.

[Joe Crack]

Each his own bottle of Patron. But let me tell you, you know, I fried, man. You know, I fucked everything up. But What I'm trying to tell you is I'm scared for the whole entire radio. Not hot 97 apostles. I'm talking about the whole existence. Why the twins don't listen to the radio. They stream. They go right on. They stream. They're so busy trying to be young and get the young people to listen and all that. But the young people ain't listening that they playing the young and young, man. They forgetting their real audience. Only older people turn on the radio when they go in the car. Like me. I throw on the radio. You know what I'm saying? And so they got a real fucking problem. Radio in existence. The whole shit got a problem. I don't know if radio's gonna be. You know how people be doing shit now? Like throw. Yo, throw out a couple of vinyls for Jada's new album. Like, you know, vinyl was.

[Jadakiss]

Vinyl's coming back.

[Joe Crack]

Hold up. But vinyl was the key source. They were selling vinyl. You go back in the days, them 45s, it was vinyl. Then it went into a what? Cassette. Then it went to cd. And then now streaming. So now they like, yo, I'm putting out an album with 500 pieces of vinyl. I'm afraid that shit might happen to radio. Like, yo, radio ain't here no more. Yo, let's throw back to a segment like, this shit is really a problem right now for radio. And I don't know how they going to turn it around. I've been telling these people for years.

[Jadakiss]

They won't listen to you.

[Joe Crack]

It won't listen to me. But I had told them this ahead of time because the young kids. My daughter is not. You could blow a bomb in Manhattan. She ain't listening to radio. She putting her shit in a book. Taylor Swift. It's over for radio. She is not playing a radio. She's actually mad when I play it. Like, she be like, yo, dad, this shit dinosaur. Yo, what you doing? Let's just play your favorite shit. They don't listen. And radio is trying to appease them. They trying to get on that wave.

[Jadakiss]

Like, they don't want the wave.

[Joe Crack]

They don't want it, right? They don't want that. And then the older dudes are feeling, like, left out because they ain't playing. They. And I'm G. Have to shout out 94 the Block, which says smoothest ass. They be playing that shit big on there, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You big at BLS. My sister, Mary J. Blige, she got 80% of the 100 songs that come on like you would y' all listen that 94 the block be playing that shit, huh?

[Jadakiss]

Yeah, be playing that shit.

[Joe Crack]

I mean shout them out. Everybody over there but Radio. I'm really worried about you guys. And I love. I am old, so I love Radio. But you know, I'm not your ideal customer that's gonna push the books like you're supposed to right now. Parsons. He got the bag.

[Jadakiss]

Micah. It's my guy, man.

[Joe Crack]

He's your guy?

[Jadakiss]

Yeah, man.

[Joe Crack]

Rich black one don't feel like right over there.

[Jadakiss]

He said that's his personal feelings of him as a fan of the Cowboys.

[Joe Crack]

He wasn't the best guy in the game.

[Jadakiss]

He wanted to be on the Cowboys. I heard his agent talking to Stephen A and Molly. He never was a beef. The contract, what they made it seemed like they was offering. They wasn't. The guaranteed starts in three years. It was mad shit that it make it look like. And then they also tried to do they try to pull a ringtone with him. Jerry Jones, they said, invited him in, try to act like he did the they told him he was coming in to talk some other shit. When he got there, they start doing negotiations and he like yeah, I speak to them. Yeah. Then Jerry Jones like I spoke to him already. And that's it. So it was a lot of buying behind the scenes bullshit that. That people never get to see if.

[Joe Crack]

His agents go on there today.

[Jadakiss]

I should have never thought that I'd.

[Joe Crack]

Be invited to Nick games and all these games and all these teams, the Giants. But I really don't give a fuck about ownership because I think they might.

[Jadakiss]

Never get a floor seat again.

[Joe Crack]

Listen, I really think that you have to be a businessman while you can and get the best deal for your family. As a player, you can't get caught up in emotions. Yo, I just want to play here this and that because guess what? As soon as you get injured, as soon as you fall off a little, nobody gives a fuck about you.

[Jadakiss]

Look what his agent said. His job is to chase quarterbacks. Our job is to chase comments. You can't expect a 25 year old athlete to be a lawyer. Let us do that. Let him do that. Don't try to negotiate with him.

[Joe Crack]

Super correct answer. So what I'm saying to you is I seen how hard his mother hugged him. She never had to work again. What was it? 181 or 188? 188. She suffocated him with that hug that hunted. Now when you188 right? Listen, you188 does your whole family. We talked about family and like 188 million. Can you tell any uncle that you're not gonna buy him a frankfurtered truck or nothing? Like.

[Jadakiss]

Like I can't be another business.

[Joe Crack]

No, no, I'm just saying, like188.8 million. You have a new problem, right? Because right now I don't even think you're supposed to report the kind of money you make right now.

[Jadakiss]

Sending everybody. No, no, not even everybody. The close listen is stimulus.

[Joe Crack]

Listen.

[Jadakiss]

And I'm getting out of there. Stimulus.

[Joe Crack]

Listen to me.

[Jadakiss]

Family stimulus.

[Joe Crack]

It's bad out there. Back in the day, if you do a big deal, you want to brag, we want to be the first one to let the nuts hang and be like, yo, I did this and this right now. I ain't telling you nothing. You got to figure out if rewinded 10 is number one or not. So on east side number one, because I'm not going to tell you.

[Jadakiss]

They do their own research. They call you. Yeah, I see rewind number 10 is on went public. You got 73 billion.

[Joe Crack]

Listen, I'm not. Because this lawsuit mania right now. They know you got money. They coming. So what I'm saying to you is, let's keep it a buck. Is Cardi B supposed to be on the stand because a girl was security and was chasing her with the camera. She's pregnant, going to the doctor and.

[Jadakiss]

They really some money grab. Leave Cardi alone, man.

[Joe Crack]

Know what I'm saying?

[Jadakiss]

Any pregnant lady going to the doctor would have smacked you or did.

[Joe Crack]

You gotta leave him alone. She didn't smack her though. And the point is what she did push the nothing. She just argued with her. The girl sued her for 25 million off of arguing for screaming at her. For screaming like, yo, get the fuck up off me. You're supposed to be security. Why you got the camera? Why there's no lawsuit and she in there. And I know because I'm going to be honest with you. Somebody sue me. I'm hiring number one. I got to protect what I got. So you can't hire the lawyer from the car wash. You got to hire the biggest guy in the game, like Cardi B. Right now on trial, she spent two and a half million defending for a girl that's throwing a camera in her face who's suing for no violence, no nothing. And she got to spend this two and a half million for sure. Cardi B with all assets. She got to hire a teen team to do this. And now she a female. So she got coming in every day with the blonde wig, the red wig, the black wig. She making a fucking movie out there. Magnum PI Shit. The lawyer told her like, yo, do you change your hair every day? It's my fucking hair. It's the most stupidest shit I've ever seen in my life. But that's why it's so important to not disclose the kind of money you making. Because it's disgusting out there.

[Jadakiss]

Nowadays, you don't gotta disclose it. They disclose your shit.

[Joe Crack]

Who? Parsons. You back to Parsons. We already know. We seen how his mother hugged him. Bro, that dude could feed a whole island. Like, he's.

[Jadakiss]

He could feed.

[Joe Crack]

No, no, I believe he's good. Like, I don't know if at a certain. Like, I don't. I don't know if guys. Every year we see a guy get a $44 million contract. 38 million. Then we see them go broke in five years. I don't think this guy could go broke. He got an under 88. But I was with a superstar, greatest of all time. That's the most I could elaborate. Athlete. And we playing spades in the room. This phone keep going off. It's unreal. Phone keep going off. He keeps saying, yo, I'll talk to you later. This, this, that. I don't know what it is. Finally he screams, come get it. You want it? Come get it. A million dollars. You want the million? Come get it. Doorbell rings. His mother walks in with the boyfriend. The man signs a million dollar check on his birthday in the hotel room. Fuck. They don't ask for 10,000 no more. They ask. I literally seen that with my own eyes. Like, what makes you ask your son for a million dollars and call him to him, like, what's a million? Like what? Like calling them 20, 30 times a day. Put the pressure on them. He wrote a check. This is when we used to walk around with checks for a million dollars in my face. A million. That's what he kept saying, a million dollars. You need that now. You need a million dollars. Like, it's like the type of pressure, like, God forgive. I mean, I know hov is too. He's too focused and on point, but I don't know. I don't know how you protect the. Like, the bag is like, they, it, it. It's no more. Thousand dollars. Ten thousand dollars. Everybody. No right or wrong. I got a friend. I really don't want to say that.

[Jadakiss]

$10,000.

[Joe Crack]

Listen, man, let me tell you something, man. That shit crazy out here, man. I ain't going to lie to you, but listen, let me tell you something, man. Guys, let me get the flag. Guys. We're of a certain, certain age, and I keep going. Whenever I go to a party, I see some real dudes, gangsters from my era. When they play New Edition, they start doing the dance. That shit gotta stop. I cannot be in the killer party.

[Jadakiss]

What are you doing?

[Joe Crack]

Everybody's a murderer. Everybody.

[Jadakiss]

Killer party.

[Joe Crack]

Anyway, yo, I'm just saying I got to show up. I got to show up. They in the. They calling me two cap.

[Jadakiss]

They're doing the heavy little step I take, man.

[Joe Crack]

They doing this like this, and I'm like, yo, bro, come on, bro. You 50 years old. Y' all killers. Like, what are y' all doing? They battling each other avenue, step by take. I can't do that no more. More. I've seen that my whole life.

[Jadakiss]

Just went to your parties.

[Joe Crack]

No, no, Jada, you at them parties.

[Jadakiss]

Boots on the ground.

[Joe Crack]

Let New Edition come on in your birthday in South. Boots on the ground. You gonna see a dude in the corner doing the dance. Boots on the ground.

[Jadakiss]

Man, I ain't where they doing nothing.

[Joe Crack]

You ain't there.

[Jadakiss]

I'm lying.

[Joe Crack]

Nah, I'm there. I'm. No, I'm talking about real guys. Got my guys.

[Jadakiss]

I'm gonna tell you real guys. I'm gonna tell you what they gotta. Guys got to stop doing the Chris Brown challenge. He didn't make that for guys. They got killers doing that. I can't even show you how it go.

[Joe Crack]

The Chris Brown challenge. I ain't peeped that one. The last one. You must be under the one foot, stretching with the one foot and shit. That's the last challenge thing on the bot.

[Jadakiss]

On it. When they sitting on the challenge.

[Joe Crack]

That was the last challenge I was seeing. Like, so Chris Brown got one.

[Jadakiss]

Yeah, he got a challenge.

[Joe Crack]

Yo, this Chris Brown with these puh.

[Jadakiss]

The song is out of here. No, the song challenge is out of here, too. For ladies and kids. They got big dudes that's lifting weights with the powder on it.

[Joe Crack]

No, these guys gotta stop. You see what I'm saying? They gonna. Now after this, they gonna do the every little step I take challenge. It's gonna be like this. You can with leotards on in the gym and all that. You know, this. This. This is special out here right now. I can't lie. I'm telling you the truth. I'm not even taking nothing from. I know real guys that when that come on, they start doing the dance. I'm like, yo, bro, I'm like, y' all can't be doing this shit. Y' all too old for this one. Like, y' all gotta chill. What we got over there, Jada?

[Jadakiss]

Just thinking about. Just looking at life.

[Joe Crack]

What you thinking about, man? I'm. I'm thinking about Canelo and Crawford coming up. Wow. It's a big. That's a big one, because. All right, I'm gonna.

[Jadakiss]

Bud had to move up. He had to go up weight class. I think Bud is. Bud is the golden jewel in boxing right now. He got the heart, the hunger, skill set. He understands his opponent. I'm going with Bud.

[Joe Crack]

Now, the thing.

[Jadakiss]

I know.

[Joe Crack]

You're going with the man. No, that's a lie. That's a lie. The thing you said. But the thing you said first. First thing you said, weight class was the hardest thing because all the boxers and all the analysts that really know boxing, they say Canelo gonna knock him out because your man had to go up. Canelo's usually at a higher weight.

[Jadakiss]

I don't think he gonna know.

[Joe Crack]

Listen, with that being said, Bud is definitely the best fighter on earth. And it's a thing toa mi gente mexicano. But it's the thing about the Mexican champions. I learned this a long time ago with Julio Cesar Chavez. The man was like 90 and 0. He fought sweet Peak. Sweet pee come with that. Different diddy bot. He couldn't do nothing with Sweet Pea. Pernell Whitaker, rest in peace. It's the same thing. Canelo fought Floyd Mayweather. They keep saying, yo, he was young. This, this, that. Bud gonna the same textbook homeboy. Canelo ain't gonna be able to hit him. He ain't gonna be able to hit him. He gonna just. If he go in there right now, if he wanna go pound for pound, blow for blowing, that's a more riskier fight. But if he just used the blueprint of every time a great Mexican fighter fought the nicest black guy in the game, he got this. He just got to hit him with that swag, that diddy bop, and he got the game. No, it's a different diddy bop. Mexicans are used to going toe to toe. They used to. They go in there, you throw your punch, I throw my punch. You still got the hardest head mano o mano. Let's see your chair, right? But now they get in front of there, and the dude doing all this shit to him, touching the bottom of his feet, bouncing. He don't know what's coming. It's a whole different type of algorithm.

[Jadakiss]

You Ever saw boxes touch their body? With me?

[Joe Crack]

Yes, I have. I seen them. Knock, knock, my. Remember the Prince? Remember that princess? Yeah. But he was good for a long time, y'.

[Jadakiss]

All.

[Joe Crack]

I seen Nachman, that was my favorite. That guy used to come up in there and floating.

[Jadakiss]

He used to do all kind of.

[Joe Crack]

He would come with the red carpet, the. The float coming there, talk mad, do all this. Hit him up, you know. I mean, yeah, he got. Not everybody. All right? Let me tell you another thing. Other than Floyd Mayweather, everybody gonna get knocked out. I'm just letting y' all all know this is a boxing sport. Sooner or later, somebody gonna have your number and they're gonna put your lights out. I'm letting you know that's the way a game is. Well, you said that to everybody. This is a. This, this.

[Jadakiss]

In boxing. In boxing, everybody's getting knocked out.

[Joe Crack]

Everybody's getting knocked out. Everybody's getting knocked out. I promise you, every single boxer that's the greatest boxer that we love. Somebody. I'm telling you, it's the game of boxing. Somebody gonna go, look at your man. Your man was losing. Tank was losing that one fight to that Spanish dude, and he hit him with that uppercut in that corner.

[Jadakiss]

But he wasn't getting knocked out. Fink wasn't getting.

[Joe Crack]

No, but what I'm saying to you.

[Jadakiss]

Is losing and getting knocked out, Tank.

[Joe Crack]

Is going to get knocked out. Everybody's going to get knocked out, is what I'm trying to tell you. He's the only one. He better watch the exhibitions. And I love the champ. Champ is the greatest of all time. This. But he better watch it fighting one of them Pauls or something. No, I'm. What I'm trying to tell you is that this is the sport of boxing. Muhammad Ali used to get knocked out. He's the greatest of.

[Jadakiss]

It was a whole different shit they was fighting with. The gloves was thinner. It was bigger than this.

[Joe Crack]

Everybody, Ray Leonard, Hearns, anybody who was the greatest, he named black legends. It's the white ones, Rocky Marcianos and all them the Spanish dudes, they all get knocked out. Everybody get it. Soon. La. Somebody get the body blow. Body blow, glass jaw, boom. Everybody get. We never thought. Yo, listen, look, I almost got beat up by Roy Jones, but, you know, that was just. Nobody was better than Roy Jones. And then homeboy, you know, wet his whistle, he hit him with the bang and hit that. You know what I'm saying? I'm just trying to tell you that they're in the sport. The reason we love boxing and we watch so much is because there's always that danger of getting knocked out and it's going to happen to everybody unless you slide up out of it. You get enough money where you like, I'm out. I didn't get knocked out. But that the game is like, you'll see, you'll see everybody that we consider including credible. You can make a difference in someone's life, including your own.

[Jadakiss]

I heard you. I heard you.

[Joe Crack]

Capital Steez was signed at the Terror Squad. When we get Joey Badass up here, because I feel like he's legendary enough already to come up on the couch.

[Jadakiss]

More than worthy. He more than worthy. That's my brother.

[Joe Crack]

Love him as an actor. Happy birthday, DJ Envy. We love you, brother.

[Jadakiss]

September 3rd, August 31st. Happy birthday to my brother Joe Button. Had that Loewe shit, see, with that Loewe shit on. Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Crack]

Yo, Joe Button. What's up, baby? Happy birthday, beloved. Peace King Grand Rossin.

[Jadakiss]

September 3rd. Also, happy birthday to Craig Mack. You got any legendary Craig Mack story?

[Joe Crack]

Nah. What I can tell you is that clip that Ralph McDaniels put out of LL coming to my party.

[Jadakiss]

Craig Mack was there?

[Joe Crack]

No, the whole. The whole entire party. So what I was trying to tell you that at that time, Guru was there. Lord Tariq, Peter Guns. Remember homeboy Snagglepuss, krs, anybody that was spitting OC Whoever was the hottest north finesse at the time was on that stage freestyling. And what I do remember is even LL. Every single one of them who freestyle was like, yo, yo, yo, need that Craig Mack. Throw that Craig Mack on. That shit was dope doom at that time, that shit was.

[Jadakiss]

I remember that was the most legendary beat. That rhyme off for about two, three years.

[Joe Crack]

You right, bro. No, no. And that was like a week, you know, it just came a week out. That shit was like, Boom, boom. Even LL wasn't even in there for the 30 guys who freestyle before him. Shout out to DJ Doo Wop. He came on, say, yo, yo, yo. Throw that flavor in your ear, you know? Puff was on stage if you see the video and every. The whole industry was up in there for that party. But Craig Mack, man, the living legend, he birthed Bad Boy. Sometimes people are the unsung heroes that don't really get that credit. Somebody had to knock the door down. He opened up the door, then Big came and just sprayed the whole room and made it what it was. But Craig Mack, you know, that's how LL feels. I think we gonna get LL on the show soon, but that's how he feels. Like when you go to Def Jam, like, how could you tell him anything? You know, his song was the first song on fucking Def Jam. So he can't see eye to eye with nobody. He's like, yo, there would be a fucking orifice. It wouldn't be a caring here if it wasn't for me. So shout out to Craig Mack. Rest in Peace. Living Legend.

[Jadakiss]

September 3, 1991 Naughty by Nature DEBUT.

[Joe Crack]

ALBUM dropped well, Naughty by Nature were different. They was the first with the stickers. It was the first hip hop.

[Jadakiss]

Yeah, they had incredible merch banners, they.

[Joe Crack]

Had the hats, beach balls, hats, Tretch. And Naughty by Nature was so influential that they started everything. You know, first clothing line, first stickers, where it had Naughty by Nature all over New York. The stickers, he used to have the bat. You know, the rap game has always been like a copycat game. So whenever somebody get really, really hot, everybody want to be like them. So I used to see. I mean, rest in peace. I think it's rest in peace. But remember from Atlanta, the youngsters, them little kids had the ball head and they used to rap just like church and they popped off.

[Jadakiss]

Youngsters was just in Philly with us, right? Yeah, the youngsters was just. I was in Philly and the youngsters.

[Joe Crack]

Was there, man, they used to rap like Tretch.

[Jadakiss]

It was like little. They was like, they're younger.

[Joe Crack]

Yeah. It's like.

[Jadakiss]

I think they were signed to somebody over there. Anyway, it was, you know, they had some affiliation, but. Shout out to the youngsters, they still.

[Joe Crack]

They still alive.

[Jadakiss]

They still doing they thing. Hell, yeah.

[Joe Crack]

A lot of headaches, man. When I remember when I was out there, everywhere I was at with them, they was in trouble.

[Jadakiss]

They was tearing up.

[Joe Crack]

Chill, y', all, chill. They were little bad guys, you know what I'm saying? But just Naughty by Nature. Y' all know how I feel about y'. All. Kg, Vinnie, you guys, you really. We wouldn't be here without you guys. But Don Cartagena, huh?

[Jadakiss]

That's a fact.

[Joe Crack]

Don Cartagena, the Album Slept on album.

[Jadakiss]

One of my favorite albums from. Yeah, yeah, you got that on there.

[Joe Crack]

The John Blaze you was on there.

[Jadakiss]

Not even that song is the Crack Attack. First single was the.

[Joe Crack]

Oh, Don Cartagena Dog.

[Jadakiss]

That was that dog. That's like an underrated single. That ain't that. Can't put it. I don't know what that.

[Joe Crack]

So let me show you what happened with that everything.

[Jadakiss]

The video beat that should have knocked.

[Joe Crack]

Biggie was supposed to be on that song right there. Biggie hits me up and says, yo, Puff is front. And he's telling me. He's telling me, you know, I can't get on the song. Cause I've got too many songs, this and this. And he just threw Puff under the. Under the bus. Before that, I was the most underground rapper you could ever think. All I got is Flo. Jo Hust is the key to success. That was my moment to go. I did go go with the. With the project. So remember Puffing them? They used to always be in that club in Manhattan. So I pulled up and I brought the ugly ones with me. They're all in jail now for 46 years, 45 years, 40 years. I brought the ugly ones out. You know what I'm saying? They all. They still in jail. They probably telling this story in jail. Yo, Fetcho and me, we rolled up on. So I walk up in there. They all in there, and I'm like, yo, Puff, let me holla at you. You know what I'm saying? So he come over and I got like, you know, I. I don't got no money. I'm still fresh off the street. I don't know what my future is. All I know is it feel like my brother Puff is stopping me from having this moment that Big was gonna get on the joint with me. So I tell like, yo, Puff, yo, what's up? Big told me, ba, ba. And you know, this fucking disrespect. My nigga. This, this, that. So he backs up and he looks at Von Zip. So Von Zip from Harlem was like, his strength at the time. So he looks at Zip like, yo, you gonna let this nigga talk to me? And VIP was like, Zip and me, we was peoples for 10 years before. He was like, that's Joey Crack. You gotta work that shit out. So his guy, his muscle, his strength told him in my face, like, yo, you gotta work that out with Crack. Like. Like, did you. This is. I have an idea. Let me do the song. I'll do the hook. He said, you got the hook. I'LL do the hook and I'll get on the song with you and. But Big is on too many songs. This. And that's how I got Puff Daddy on that. Adios.

[Jadakiss]

And before we depart, we want to give a special September 4th, Happy Birthday to the queen, Beyonce. You know what I mean? Beyonce Day, September 4th.

[Joe Crack]

Say about Beyonce.

[Jadakiss]

God bless.

[Joe Crack]

Beyonce is the female Michael Jackson. That's the only way I could just explain it to you, right? We do a lot of comparisons to Chris Brown, but Beyonce. You know, one time I saw Beyonce perform, it went. And one second later, she was behind us in the crowd. Like, I don't know if they had like a fucking shuttle. This really happened. Like, we in the crowd watching. Cause I go to Beyonce shows, she's on stage, she goes. And next thing you know, she pops up behind us performing like shit she do is like this. Out of this world. Nobody's more of a professional. Nobody else is more of an inspiration. And it just started. I gotta. I don't know where Beyonce is gonna take this thing. She says she go to country, she get number one. She go whatever she want to do. She number one. There is no limitations to Beyonce and what she's already established. I mean, my daughter made me look at this Beyonce. I don't know, what was it, like a practice, A dvd? What documentary or something? In my house, that shit played 1,000 times. Like, I was dizzy about the shit already. But she look, God, she's a professional. Look at you. What, she was practicing for the Grammys or something? A performance tool. Yo, bro, I seen that shit 1000 times. So shout out to the queen Beat. No Rock Nation, we got nothing but love. Kiss Cafe, if you want to get up in the Pause if you want to have energy and taste the Bolivian. Where's the coffee from?
