Fat Joe
Anyway, let's talk about. All right. So I can explain to you my career. Yeah, right. I don't know about Jadaki's career. You know, he been doing. He been flying, consistent. But for me, right, my career is like one of them guys you see in baseball, like Big Papi Ortiz or the guy from Toronto. I either hit the shit out the park, grand slam, or I swing and miss and fall on my face. So my career, there's been times where I'm number one in America, and there's other times where I'm flop mania. And then now you look in and you gotta get back. I remember one New Year's Eve, I'm in my mother's house, recipes, and I'm watching, like, the. We grew up watching the Happy New Year on tv. And I remember I was sitting there in my mom's house, I was cold as fuck. And I said, next year, I'm on the Happy New Year shit. You better watch. I'm gonna be on that 10, 9, 8. And the next year, I was dead with a fucking burgundy velour suit. But you, it seems like you. 14 years, you went hot, cooled off a little. This, this, that. Tell me about that whole transition when.
G Herbo
You said that shit. Like, I felt you for real. For real. Like, I think that it's a mental thing, too. Like, with us, we feel like that. Like, even when we cold, we still hot. Cause I was just about to say, these people, you ain't never not been that nigga to me. You feel what I'm saying?
Fat Joe
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
G Herbo
So you might feel like that. And I feel like that, too. I felt like that many times, like, you know what I'm saying? It's like, especially with my career.
Fat Joe
Thank you for the gods, for sure.
G Herbo
You gotta go right hand so this shit don't go left, man. Somebody told me that yesterday. I'm sticking with it for sure. Anyways, I'm saying all that to say, like, with me, my career especially, like, I definitely. It's been like a roller coaster. Like, hot as fish grease and shit. Cool off and get cold and slow down. But it's like, you just really can't stop. You just gotta stay at this shit, go to the studio, figure this shit out. The name of the game is rap. So it's like, they gonna love you then. They might hate you, but they gonna love you again. If you put some shit out. If you put some shit out that's hard, and they gonna feel it. You feel what I'm saying? Like, and that shit, like, what that nigga Miss say? He said, long as the streets is filling it, a nigga like me could sell it. Like, just gotta put this shit out. Just keep going for real. So with me. And I seen that, though, like, from my perspective, looking at the world on the outside, like, I seen people count me out for, like, oh, yeah, it's over with Herbo Trash. Herbo Garbs and this. And me, mentally, I know I could rap. I know I'm one of the hardest niggas to get in front of a mic. So it's like, that just fueled my fire. I seen that shit. And the same way you said, next year, I'm gonna do this, I really had a real plan, and I saw that shit out. I'm like, man, next year, I'm dropping as much as I can. You feel me? I got a lot of shit in order in my life, mentally, in my personal life, family shit, getting through that shit, business shit, all of that shit. But in the midst of all that fire, I still went to the studio and I had a plan. I had a strategy. Like, nigga, I'm finna record my hardest shit and put this shit out in the streets. Go, Philly.
Fat Joe
Tell me if I'm wrong, right? Cause you grew up in the real street shit, and it feels like you had a point where you like, all right, I know what I gotta do to get to this next level I gotta do. And it feels like you telling the homies, yo, chill, Let me do what I gotta do. Yeah, that's one of the hardest things to do. Especially if they alleged killers and they crazy. They this and this and this. I. Yeah, really had to do this. Yeah. Like, I. I'm not lying. I think that Joe invented the entourage.
G Herbo
Yeah, like.
Fat Joe
Like, I think I invented that shit. Don't throw no flags. I'm telling you the truth. If you from my era, Fat Joe might be one of the first guys you ever seen with 40 guys that look like they don't leave the block missing. These niggas are animals. Yeah, I had to tell them, yo.
Joe Budden
You can't come fall back.
Fat Joe
Wish me luck. If I make it, you might need something. Yo, this. It's the hardest shit to tell a group of animals.
G Herbo
No alleged animals. You gotta say that.
Fat Joe
No animals. Savages. Yo, listen, let me go. Some of them get mad at you, and you tell a man I have one of my mans that I Don't want to talk too deeply, but my man was Kingpin. And that's my man. I mean, I grew up with him. And this, this and that. I had to explain to the nigga. I said, yo, you Fat Joe brother. You out here moving all type of shit. I'm trying to be legit. They gonna run me in some Rico shit with you. You too big out here. You get. It's actually better for you to stay away. Stay away from Fat Joe. Cause I'm over here on Billboard doing whatever I'm doing. And you. And he never. To this day, he never understood what I was trying to tell him. But I'm trying to tell him. It's like a nigg, you know, you get caught, you'll be like, all right, come out the closet now. We're caught. Now, yo, Johnny, get out the. Get out the speaker box. We're caught. It's like, yo, bro, we don't all got to get caught.
G Herbo
Yeah.
Fat Joe
And so it's hard for dudes to understand. Yo, I have an opportunity, a generational opportunity that one day you might need a favor from me. Let me go. It happened to me. I'm talking about me.
G Herbo
Yeah.
Fat Joe
I'm staring down the barrel. Meaning two eyes of a stone cold killer.
G Herbo
Yeah.
Fat Joe
Telling them, yo, I. I love you, Chagito. I can't do it. You know, I didn't.
G Herbo
You've been there.
Fat Joe
You can't beat up my fans. You can't. This, this. That doesn't work for me. I'm looking. Please, just hope I make it. I hear that in, like, your interviews and all that. Where you at? That transition and how's it going for you? This.
G Herbo
I'm in a good space now. Like, mentally with this, like, this shit.
Fat Joe
You are. What about them?
G Herbo
Not all.
Fat Joe
Everybody.
G Herbo
Hell, no. I was just finna say, like, for real. For real.
Joe Budden
Everybody ain't gonna.
G Herbo
Everybody ain't gonna get it. They ain't gonna let us see.
Fat Joe
Let them say there's a jewel that young niggas gotta hear.
G Herbo
Nah, for sure they ain't gonna all understand it. Like. Like the same shit you saying. I'm telling like I'm looking at you. And only certain could really say that. That you had to do that. That you really had to, like, separate yourself from this shit. Cause you really gonna either die or go to jail. Especially when you running with niggas like that. Like, I used to have a hundred at my shows, too. 150 niggas on the road. All this shit. Like, I really. That is the proof is in the pudding. That shit on paper. Like, you feel what I'm saying? Like, even to do that and to be able to, like, separate yourself from that and be able to look at a. That's really in the streets, that's a stone cold killer. A sav. It is. And be able to say that you gotta have that shit in you too. You feel me? Like, I ain't never had no fear in my life. When you get to a certain point and you see, like. Cause I didn't understand what I was doing either. Like, I didn't understand I was gonna be this big. But when I became this big and I realized, like, damn, I'm doing some shit that I could change everybody life, your life, my family life, everybody life. You feel what I'm saying? That's when you start realizing, like, niggas be on some shit. Like, they don't understand or they don't get it. Nigga be on some shit, like, oh, you a. You punking out. You doing this. You. When you have those type of conversations, you gotta tell a nigga like, bro, if you don't stop doing this shit, you gonna go to jail or you gonna die. For real, for real, like, nigga, be naive to the fact you feel what I'm saying. It's like, me, I never been naive to anything I was doing. When I was in the streets, I knew for a fact the shit I'm doing could put me in jail or I could get killed doing this shit. You feel what I'm saying? It's like. And you gotta have them conversations with niggas where it's like, you just. You can't do it. It's not. There's no way possible to really have one foot in this industry and one foot in the streets. That shit is insane. That's what I tell them all the time.
Fat Joe
You know, I'm real connected to Chicago.
G Herbo
Yeah.
Fat Joe
I don't know if you know, right? And. Nah, he asked him. You old enough. I don't know if you know what time it is, right? On another level. Okay. And it's so hard to walk two blocks.

Fat Joe
It ain't even little niggas, is it? I'm talking about the little niggas.
G Herbo

Fat Joe
You know how niggas don't give a fuck. You know how many times I'm in Chicago and the cop is there and a drop this gun in the world in front of the cop. And the cop just turned his cheek like he don't know what's going on. And the throw the gun in this. I was, I, I've been there with the cops know, yo, these will kill me.

They got a, they got a goddamn real tough ass job, bro. Cause like in Chicago, bro, in the streets, like don't got no regard for police. You feel what I'm saying? Like that the high speed.
Fat Joe
How about that's the only place, not even la, I've been with, anywhere you could name in la. Every hood, this and that. I've never seen a place other than Chicago. With no disregard for the. With no respect for the. They don't care about the cop.
G Herbo
I was one of them. I ain't used to give a fuck either. I ain't gonna let the cop. You wasn't like going to jail. I don't care about none of that. I ain't care about none of that shit, man. I'm blessed to be here, bro. But that's just like the coaching I just learned.
Fat Joe
I can't learn the cop.
G Herbo
Nah, hell no.
Fat Joe
But I always knew respect the cop. Let's get up outta here. Yo. I knew the one thing I knew that my mother and father always taught me since I was a kid is, yo, tell em you gotta know lawyer. I knew this, even have a lawyer. My pops told me have a lawyer.
G Herbo
We a couldn't afford one.
Fat Joe
We couldn't afford one. I be like, yo, I know my rights. I got a lawyer.
G Herbo

Fat Joe
That like a, B, C, D, F, G, six, seven years old. Was like, I got a lawyer.
G Herbo

Fat Joe
All right, no, 10 years old. First time you got arrested.
G Herbo
What they locked you up for some fried ass shit. I was young at my homie crib. We his mom's wasn't there.
Fat Joe
I went to jail for the same shit. For the first time, gagging four in the morning. I know what he's saying. I know. I went to jail for the same shit, let me tell you.
G Herbo
We went upstairs to the roof of his crib in the apartment building. I don't even remember how the fuck we went up to the roof.
Joe Budden
We climbed.
G Herbo
We went to the third floor. You know how you could climb on a ladder and go up to the roof of a building? We went and did that and was throwing bricks off the roof at cars, like, just throwing bricks and shit at. At cars, moving cars going down the street. He lived on a busy street. We just doing that shit for like an hour. But this how we got arrested. Our dumb ass. We got bored and started dropping the bricks on the cars on the street. So that was how we got caught. Cause it's like they coming from down. You could tell somebody doing this shit from this building from the top of the shit. And somebody called the police. Police came, got in the building, and probably one of the tenants was like, man, that's them badass Royce right there on the second floor. Like, you feel me? They came, locked my ass up. That was the first time I was in.
Fat Joe
My man threw a party in his house. His mother and father was out of town. They locked all of us up. I was maybe, I would say 13, 14. But they locked 20 niggas the whole party. They thought we broke in there, something. They locked everybody up. And it was the first time I went to the precinct or whatever that is locked up. And, man, he threw a party. And we know the lady, we know the man.
G Herbo
We know they really booked off, like, trespassing or something.
Fat Joe
It was just.
G Herbo
Yeah, I got locked up like that before, too, though. Like, a party full of people. Everybody got booked. Shit like that. I ain't gonna lie. Life used to be, like, simple and fun, though. Bullpen be lit in that motherfucking open. 20 of the guys get locked up. You don't even give a fuck. You in jail. Niggas just in there just. Just chilling, man. I ain't gonna lie.

G Herbo
But a lot of don't come from that.
Fat Joe
Everybody.
G Herbo
Let me cut you out. Wait. A lot of don't come from that. Where it's like growing up having a fight. You gotta fight three brothers, four cousins. Like, I used to have to do that. Like I used to. My big brother. I swear, I wish he was in here right now. I got into a real physical the first time and only time I ever fought my brother in life. My big brother.
Fat Joe
Oh, with your brother?
G Herbo
My big brother. Because this made me fight four people in one day. Like this nigga made me some little niggas woofing. He Came and got me out the house. I ain't know what's going on. He beat they ass.
Fat Joe
I told the story.
G Herbo
Like, I fought three of their ass straight. Whooped all three of them. And I think it was. Yeah, three. It was three niggas. I fight, fight the two niggas. Whoop them by the third nigga, this the older brother. Like, I fight the brother, the middle brother. I gotta fight the old. Cause I'm beating they ass.
Fat Joe
They got three fat sisters amping the shit on on the side.
G Herbo
By the third time, I'm like, I don't wanna fight no more, bro.
Joe Budden
I'm tired.
G Herbo
I don't want to fight no more, bro. For real, for real, like. And I still end up fighting a. But he like, keep fighting him, like. And I'm like, bro, I'm tired. And I. And like, I don't know. I just feel like he ain't want to hear that shit. Like he ain't want to. Just like me telling him, no, I'm not from. I'm like, hell no. That grabbed me, choked me up, all type of shit. Like, don't ever tell me you ain't finna fight in front of these niggas outside. You should have told me you was tired in the house or whatever the case. Niggas don't come from that type of background, though. Rapper. He had contested his story. Bro, I beat the. I whooped they ass, though.
Fat Joe
For sure. Dude beat the. He did some shit to my sister. Yeah, she never did, but she came to get me. He was way. I mean, way bigger than me. Say I'm 12. He had to be 17 or somewhere, man. This guy body slammed me, stripped me, suplex me. This dude tripping me and shit. Anything I thought, to this day, I'm traumatized by it. My sister. Rest in peace, Lisa. But I remember on the floor, about the eighth time I got body slammed, I looked up, I said, mama. We used to call her Mama. I said, I can't, Mama.
Joe Budden
So what? Yeah, And I went at the nigga.
Fat Joe
Face out in there with bodies.
G Herbo
Nigga said, I can't.
Fat Joe
Tripping me, suplexing me, clotheslining me. Two, piecing me like I got my ass whooped. I had to, actually, finally, yeah, from the floor. I never forget. It still traumatizes me. I look at my sister, I said, mama, I can't. Nah. She was like, all right, Joey this and that. But the guy, for some. Some reason, you know, the two or three times I got my ass whipped in my hood. Nobody outside, right? So it's like, you know, but in my hood, if niggas outside, they'll beat you up 10,000 deep to one dude. Like, they not letting Fat Joe get beat up in my hood to this day, they letting Fat Joe get it up since a kid. But the 1, 2, 3 times I got my ass, nobody was outside beat the shit outta me. Like, my shit. And I'm white, so my shit is like. You know how many guys I beat up and they got lucky and hit me. My shit is a high jammy.
G Herbo
That's crazy. I feel that, bro. I swear to God. Like, I didn't really like, man. My mom should tell you, like, every time any I'm. Anytime I get hit, you get a bruise swelling up.
Fat Joe
No way.
G Herbo
Red Pink. I don't really whoop. And left the fight this out and left the fight purple. Literally.
Fat Joe
What does Overtair Elementary School.
G Herbo
Overtair, man. Overton. Overton. Overton. That was a project that's still in play, man, for sure. But me and my partners, who I was in business with, jb, Meg, we partnered and, like, just. It was a school that we. That was like. What is. What's the word I'm looking for? Like, it's not demolition got shut down.
Sponsor Announcer / Commercial Voice
Yeah.
G Herbo
No, I'm saying it got, like, closed down when like, the. What the fuck was it? Was they, like, boycotting teachers and shit like that? Yeah, yeah, A bunch of schools, like, the teachers, like, boycotted. It was a thing. So that was one of the schools and we bought it and just, you know what I'm saying? Made it like performing arts, where it's like, kids could go work out, poop like. You find what I'm saying? All that just putting something in the city, like, in the city on the south side of Chicago where kids could have a safe place to work out. Still smoke. They still in there working out right now. They redoing the gym. Yeah, Mom's just. Yeah, they redoing that. But I'm just saying, they still going on. Like, they. It's still going. Like. I'm saying yourself.
Fat Joe
Let me tell you something, rich player. What was that? Dynasty. You gotta go himself. Because what he says to me, he tells me all the time. He tells me all the time, I'm a narcissist. He says, yo, you're a narcissist. Narcissists don't want to help the community. They don't want to give back to the community. And think about people. What you think about the people losing the snapshot. And we don't get too political here.
G Herbo
What do you mean?
Fat Joe
But like they losing their food stamps.
G Herbo
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stamps, yeah.
Sponsor Announcer / Commercial Voice
No, that's.
Fat Joe
You know, what do you think about that? Because me personally, I ain't got enough money to feed 40 something billion.
Joe Budden
Probably could connect with the swerving through stress initiative.
G Herbo
Yeah, nah, definitely. For sure, for sure. Like all that go hand in hand. Like even with what we did with Overton, you feel what I'm saying? Like swerving through stress. We done put kids through therapy. We didn't have food programs. Like we did a peace walk at Overton, at the school, like all through the south side, like a real peace walk to stop the violence in like one of the toughest areas. You feel what I'm saying? And like that's how swerving through stress really came about. Just trying to provide something for inner city kids where it's like free therapy, suicide hotlines, food drives, food giveaways. You feel what I'm saying? Just me really trying to be like a staple in the community and give back because I know how hard this shit is. For real. Inner city and in poverty. Inner city. Say like what you saying about like them shutting down the food stamps or not even digging too deep in that. It's like, bro, a home. And me and Mick say this all the time. When a hungry, when a. You don't know. No, no, tough, no, no, I will do anything to you. When a stomach growling, for real, for real. So it's like when a hungry, you gotta eat, might eat you.
Fat Joe
It's connected. It's connected to crime. Crime, right. So first of all, if the only it's connected to crime, if the only way you gonna eat is through some snaps or some food stamps and now you ain't got shit and you got kids, what do you think is gonna happen?
G Herbo
Yeah, niggas gonna turn up, start robbing.
Fat Joe
People, start robbing businesses, doing whatever they gotta do. Not because they just trying to get rich, they hungry. It's because they hungry.
G Herbo
I'm gonna give you one even deeper. You ain't even thinking about like the adults niggas who brain fully working and fully functioning. What about the kids? The 12 year old kid who moms can't eat, you know what I'm saying? Moms can't provide. Pops might be dead, Pops might be in jail, his moms can't even provide. And he trying to figure out how to go get some money and how to eat and get nigga stomach growling, he's starving. He the one that's gonna go out and rob and shoot you. His brain not even fully developed.
Joe Budden
The only way the middle kid gonna go out there and do some crazy.
Fat Joe
The only way to save the future, the only way it's ever been, is you gotta work on the youth. Because the youth, just like you said, you ain't care. I ain't care. I went out every day for violence. Every day of my life I went out for violence, right? And my mother was a nice person, hardworking. Her father was a hard working. My best friend, I don't want to say his name. His mother and father ran to church and his shit was going off more than anybody, right? So I don't know if you're just trying to fit in or whatever the case may be, but definitely I'm not taking a risk. 20, 25 that I'm older that I would have did when I was 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 years old. So the only way is to work with the youth before they get themselves in jail for life.
G Herbo
Definitely.
Fat Joe
For sure.
G Herbo
It's like you gotta. That's the thing. Like when I was coming up, I ain't had nobody like me that I. I wanted to be like and could see and tell me some real shit. I made it. I come from this, I was doing this. Like even I seen a clip where you saying like a. Come from a two parent household and they'll be like, you not in the streets cause you got a mother and a father, shit like that. You feel what I'm saying? Like I come from a two parent household. I was outside thugging. For real. Tell me worst way. Like, no, like I was outside thugging in the worst way and I seen this and like, yeah, it's not for real. No, no, it's like. And how you saying this? Like, bro, I was one of them niggas, bro. I put myself in the line of fire over and over again, bro. I got shot, couldn't walk right back outside on the block I got shot on with a cast. Can't walk, can't run, can't nothing but do nothing but stand ten toes with that fire on me again.
Fat Joe
I got shot and saw my myself out the hospital same night. Yeah, and I was in that Beamer 525 blasting that system is a riding around with love. Somebody was trying to say that Joe is dead. I'm in that Beamer like right in the wrong way. Like we was ignorant, man. Everybody was every. Everybody was ignorant. But. But we gotta pray for the future and do as much as we can. I love the way you holding yourself up positive. Because a lot of people, you know, they fall to that peer pressure of they gotta be hood, they gotta be with the boy. Like, I don't trying to get money.
Joe Budden
And get her out of that shit.
Fat Joe
I really personally don't understand. Right? Rich, rich, rich dudes. Yeah, right. Let's just say the industry, you filthy rich and you still in the gang. You are billionaire in the gang, throwing it up this. I'm trying to figure it out. Like what is it? Is that the street cred? Is that the dis. The that? Like I'll be like, yo, you have no business me just that. Joe, I'm looking. I know Chicago's much different.
G Herbo
Yeah, definitely.
Fat Joe
Cause you born there, you are who you are.
G Herbo
Yeah, for sure.
Fat Joe
Trust me. I know Chicago not as good as you, but I know Chicago is like pick a side is what it is.
G Herbo
If you play the middle, that's the most dangerous thing to play in Chicago.
Joe Budden
What hardest part to play is right.
Fat Joe
You can't even, you can't play the middle. But what I'm saying to you, I mean everybody, I mean everybody in Chicago got to make a choice. Even if you the nicest guy, definitely, you got to make a choice because that's the way that shit is. My thing is why are you a millionaire? Kabillionaire, rappers, I don't want to call them out because I love all of them.
G Herbo
Yeah, for sure.
Fat Joe
But I still don't understand why they throwing it up and saying they this. I don't get it.
Joe Budden
I think it's smart. Like you. I see Sosa got out of there. I see you got out of there. Even Dirk got out of there.
Fat Joe
You got to get at it.
Joe Budden
You got to get out of there. It's not even about what they do to you.
G Herbo
Puerto Rico.
Joe Budden
All of this.

Joe Budden
You gotta be brave cause they gonna be ill on this and that.
G Herbo
He dealt with all thatta there early.
Joe Budden
Yeah.
Fat Joe
Fat Joe moved to Miami 20 something years ago. One night I'm in Madison Square Garden, I'm headlining and I'm in my green room and I sit up on the fucking sink and I look and I'm like, holy shit. These are all killers. Like everybody there with me was like the.
Joe Budden
I thought you was gonna say sat on the sink and it broke.
Fat Joe
No, that's three Fat Joes ago. But let me explain something you. I looked at Joe's ago and that was one of the main reasons why I got out of New York. I was actually too powerful.
G Herbo
Yeah.
Fat Joe
And you know everybody trying to prove to the big man that this. If I'd have sneezed at a dude, it got real ugly in there statement. I realized and I said, oh, I gotta get out of here. Start in Miami and wear silk shirts and they think I'm a nice guy. I never had a fight. I never had a one on one in Miami. I'm a nice law abiding. Citizen. I'm in Cipriani. Over there. Over here. This is. So I had to get up out of here. So I know the difference. You gotta go, you gotta get away. Because also a dude to force you to hurt him. They forced. I think there should be a law.
G Herbo
Hold up, hold up.
Fat Joe
Yo, G, it's a law. There should be a law where, hey, if you killed the guy, you killed him. You gotta do time. 10, 15 years. But if you knew this guy was killing the whole neighborhood. He was trying to extort me, shooting at my mother. This, this, this. And I killed him. I had no choice. Give me 15. Give me 10. 15 years. 10 years. Not life.
Joe Budden
Give me five.
G Herbo
Yeah, five.
Joe Budden
He needed to get out of there.
Fat Joe
But the point is, this guy. You know how many guys might have went in front of that judge and said, you, Honor, he. He forced me. Like, it was like, this guy won't stop.
G Herbo
Yeah, no, for sure.
Fat Joe
He's forcing me, like, for sure, bro. I seen some. Some dudes on some dudes. Yeah, they forced him. There's no way around it. There's no way around it. He forced you. Everywhere you go, he got a problem. He took. He wanted. He this, he this, that. Yo, we can't live. Somebody got to go.
G Herbo
Yeah, somebody got to go.

Podcast: Joe and Jada
Episode Date: November 11, 2025
Hosts: Fat Joe, Jadakiss (Joe Budden in transcript)
Guest: G Herbo
Description: In this episode, hip-hop legends Fat Joe and Jadakiss link up with Chicago's own G Herbo (formerly known as Lil Herb) for a no-holds-barred conversation on his career, Chicago’s street life, surviving success, and the real stories behind his newest album and collaborations.
The episode is a deep-dive into G Herbo’s journey from Chicago’s South Side streets to national hip-hop prominence. The conversation covers the challenges of escaping street life, the emotional toll of loss, financial realities of legit success, fatherhood, community activism, and the sacred ground of trust, family, and loyalty in and out of hip-hop.
"Just being here alone is a blessing. ...I done got shot at so many times and I’m still here. That is a blessing, bro." — G Herbo [03:40]
"Hip hop is a very dangerous [job]. Probably the most dangerous, to be honest, for real, for real." — G Herbo [18:51]
"How many years you been in the game?"
"Going on 14 now." — Fat Joe & G Herbo [05:32]
"I’ve been a real tax-paying artist. I’ve been paying taxes for 10 years now, for real, for real. Million dollar taxes cost some M’s." — G Herbo [16:12]
"I did my own BDAY bash at the Wind Trust. That was sold out... 19 artists on the bill. Everything smooth. Everything went perfect. ...That’s beautiful. Safe." — G Herbo [19:09]
"It’s hard for dudes to understand. Yo, I have an opportunity, a generational opportunity...Let me go." — Fat Joe [38:54] "There’s no way possible to really have one foot in this industry and one foot in the streets. That shit is insane." — G Herbo [41:13]
"Every gang you ever name was in that...They hate each other, right?...That was the scariest [situation] in the world. It was ugly." — Fat Joe [45:16–47:01]
"That’s my brother, man. Long live Juice...every time I think about bro, it’d just be like a nostalgic feeling. ...He used to make me rap with him....he was just a different breed." — G Herbo [55:19, 56:10]
(See [55:12–56:36] for full discussion)
"How do you get that kind of relationship? ...It’s the love we got for our children, bro....that shit overpowers everything." — G Herbo [59:19–60:34]
"I feel like 80, 90% of wars...in the street always happen behind a female. Women. 1000%." — G Herbo [66:03]
"...Swervin’ Through Stress...free therapy, suicide hotlines, food drives, food giveaways...me really trying to be a staple in the community and give back." — G Herbo [85:29]
"When a hungry, you gotta eat, might eat you." — G Herbo [86:34]
"It’s connected to crime...when you got kids, what do you think is gonna happen?" — Fat Joe [86:34]
"You gotta get up out of here. A dude will force you to hurt him...we can’t live, somebody got to go." — Fat Joe [99:36–101:06]
"If you play the middle, that’s the most dangerous thing to play in Chicago." — G Herbo [90:46]
"I see Sosa got out of there. I see you got out of there. Even Dirk got out of there. ...You got to get out of there." — Joe Budden [91:21–91:31]
"In Puerto Rico...I probably had like 600 guns outside. Never seen nothing like that in my life." — G Herbo [96:07]
The episode strikes a blend of street realism, gallows humor, and hard-won wisdom. The hosts and G Herbo keep things candid, with a mix of playful teasing, deep vulnerability, and mutual respect throughout — all punctuated by real talk about loss, perseverance, and the importance of leaving a mark beyond music.
This conversation isn’t just an interview — it’s a living oral history of modern hip-hop survival. G Herbo’s tales and tracks underline the near-impossibility of escaping cycles of violence and poverty, but they also showcase the possibility of change, redemption, and giving back. For anyone curious about the realities facing today’s rap stars, as well as a primer on surviving and thriving beyond the “hood,” this episode is a must-listen.
Album Out Now:
Lil Herb, featuring guest production by No ID, Wyclef, Juice WRLD, and more — available on all platforms.
"You get one chance in this. Only one chance. Can’t be with the devil dancing. And you got one life...You get one shot. Don’t miss." — G Herbo, “One Chance” [109:49]
Final Word:
"Just being able to be in this type of room and have these kind of conversations, be alive, is a blessing." — G Herbo [102:01]
