It's Uncle Charles. Miss Uncle Charles. Call my uncle George. I miss my Uncle George at least. Yo, Uncle George, you know, yo, listen, you know how you go to the AA meeting? Be like, hi, I'm Joe, I'm an alcoholic. He's like, hi, I'm Fat Joe. I'm a up. I'm a bug out. I change all the words. That's why we gonna have a problem. Rich. Oh, he put it back. Rich. Do it back too. I can't even memorize my own rhymes. So imagine memorizing your rhyme to somebody else's rhyme. I fuck everybody's shit up. But I got that bone. And Biggie done Biggie. Hit me up, said Joe, I want to rock with your mans. I know they your mans. We on the same label. I'm hanging out with them every day. They had a relationship with Pac. I had to really, really convince them. And I know to this day they're happy. I convinced them. Steve Lobel brought him to the studio. The rest is history. But that bone in Biggie, Biggie boning. And nobody in New York was thinking about Armin Dangerous. Ain't too many can bang with us. Sing up. We know Angel Dust, Notorious so called Beef with you know who this nobody was thinking about that flow at that time. When he did it, it was like, you know, big with somebody that is like you. I mean, damn, man, we got a big dis nigga right over here. I actually salute the man. Biggie was like you in the very way of you never said a whack verse. So every time Biggie could rhyme on 112, he could rhyme on fucking a girl's TLC shit, whatever, anything that we would listen to him, we would listen to the new verse and be like, damn, Biggie did it again. He was super nice. He did this and this and that. It was crazy. You know what I'm saying? B I G that ready to die. That shit to this day is one of my favorite. You know me from the slave shits from the Same night in the 2 vault. Yo, Biggie, I had my homies total bust of shit every record. It wasn't just Total. I don't know if it was a fan, but as a rapper, every verse similar to you. Every verse Biggie ever spit, we would analyze it immediately and be like, yo, he did a song with Total, you know, everything. You'd be like, damn, embodied that shit again. It's not easy to body every single verse, you know, Jadakiss, you know, he's really good at that. You know what I'm saying? We listening for every verse. Like, oh, Jada gonna spit that shit right now. Joe Neo, I gotta keep it real with you, right? Because lately, being that we're podcasters now, it's crazy because all the artists, not you, but all the artists seem to come in here and don't want to talk about what everybody want to hear them talk about out there. You got four wives. Yes, indeed. What kind of pressure do you buy? Is it like Muslim? Do you gotta buy the same bag for the same. Like, you know what? Mine is mine. You definitely gotta have a bag to have four wives you have. I mean, okay, it's. There's a mindset that the woman has to have in order to be able to share men. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's literally gotta. She literally gotta think a different way. If you got four women that want Birkin bags, you got the wrong fork. Like, straight. So they got a different mentality. It's community. It's family. It's like everybody doing something. It's like a village where everybody do something. Everybody got a job. You know what I mean? If you the only person taking care of everything you doing, that's not how it's supposed to go. Everybody's supposed to kind of pitch in together. Like, I have seven kids on my own, you know, One of them got a daughter, other one got two kids. And it's like, okay, so I don't have seven kids. I got nine kids. And that's fine because we all come together. Like, this one's washing dishes, this one's changing diapers if it need be. This one's doing that. Everybody does. You did it the traditional way? Yeah. Right. I gotta ask. Did you have to do. How'd you. How'd you. Did you have to do an interview. How the hell did you know? How did you do this? Was you on tour? Just like, all right, she could be part of the family. She could be like, how did you do it? How did you do it four times? So, okay, so after my. After my divorce, my very public, very ugly divorce, I realized that just through being dishonest, I hurt a lot of people. I hurt a lot of people. And I decided at that moment, I don't ever want to be the reason nobody feel like. So from that moment, I was like, I'mma just keep it a buck with everybody about everything. Be it good, bad, ugly, whatever. I'm going to keep it a buck. All right? Don't ask me if the dress make you look fat if you don't really want to hear the answer, because I'm going to tell you straight up, right? So one of the ones that I'm with been around a little longer than the other ones. So I basically just sat her down. Like, listen, you know I rock with you. We've been rocking for forever. Do this, do that. We've been rocking. I love you. I do. But it ain't just you. I'm also rocking with this one and this one. So a man could love more than one woman. Absolutely. Absolutely. I just want him to say, yo, Tate, y'. All, J, I'm throwing you out this motherfucker. Y'. All. Jayda, let him answer the fucking question. I didn't see four. Why you ain't got four wives, man? That's. You ever see somebody interrupt and then tell you to be quiet? Cause you, like, you can love more than. You can love more than one woman. This is. The. Men won't say. Married men will not say that this is this. Men won't say they can't because. But you got more. So that's how it goes. What do we call that in America? Like, it's. It's polygamy. Real. It's polyamory if you're not married. It's polygamy if you're married. And polygamy is illegal in a lot of America. So it's poly. Poly. Yeah. A lot of bark and a lot of pink horsepower in the cabinet over there. Listen, first of all, me fucking Rockabol. I'm abused. I'm abused. Like, I'm lyrically abused. Some of my friends come to the house, they fucking. They go and light candles for me. Like, I'm sitting there like Al Bundy, and I'm, like, watching tv. It's very hard to get me Upset but for them doing that shit at the same time. But see, it don't happen like that. It don't happen like that. Cause I'm very, very, very adamant about drawing a line in the sand. It's like, listen, I'm gonna hear you out. I'm gonna let you say what it is you need to say. But once we start going here, you lost me anyway, so you might as well not. When I was thinking about asking you this question, I'm thinking, so what you got like a giant bed? Like a big fucking jack and a big star. Alaska. I need that shit. I got yo king is like, yo grace. Book me in the last. Only two book me double kings together. Like promoters. Double kings. I only think I heard of California is something else. I heard it. I never heard of Alaskan. I never heard of no shit like that. Joe. Fat Joe deserving the Alaskan king. No, Fat Joe deserves an Alaskan king. I can shoot you a number two more people in there. Cause mind, you can't buy an Alaskan king. You gotta get it made. You gotta get somebody to make it. They gotta come there and build it. They gotta build it. They gotta build it. It's like a giant bed. Yes. Yo, what. Yo, it's about eight comfort with this guy. You're an inspiration, Neil. I like it. I like it. Willing to live vicariously through you. That's it. And hopes it works out. Everything is good, man. Everything is good. Again, we have problems. Just like monogamous relationships. All that shit is real. You gonna argue over stuff. But again, at the end of the day, as long as you are head of household and everybody understands that, then arguments don't last on like, you know, I'm again gonna let you get it out. I'll let you say what you gotta say. I'm gonna hear you. But once it's done, it's done. And we're not good. We're not. You think a broke man can have four women in the lasting. If you do it the right way. Because again, it's not. It's not game. So listen, all women ain't gonna. It's not gonna work. They're not rocking with that. It has to be a certain kind of woman. She gotta have a certain mindset if she gonna do it. Because if she do, if she's the kind of woman again that she need birthdays and all this. What's the question? I got two questions. Go for it. Go for it. How far apart? Cause you know how you said you had one that was with you for a while. How. What was the age difference? No, no, no. How quick did it take to get the other three on board? It wasn't. It didn't take a long time. It was. It all feel safe in grass. I kind of set up a dinner. I told. I told her one that I want you to meet. I want you to meet the other ones. Initially, it was just three, so I told her one that I wanted her to meet the other two, I set up the dinner where the last one come from. One. She. She's one of my. One of my dancers. She's the newest. Yeah, yeah, she's one of my dancers. Please. I gotta thank him because whenever I did this podcast without him yesterday, and I went and I was like, damn, where is my man when I need him to say, chill, relax. Cause he's the calm. We'll get canceled, honey. Yes. He's like. He's like, chill, relax. Yesterday, I'm up in the years. So what? It was like, yo, nigga, you know, they came with, you know this. I'm like. I walk out of there my own. The crazy guy, the Faithos, we call him the Hug. Miss me? They walked out with me like, yo, gush. It took me. I would have came. This should be referee for you, what you was doing. We did. We did a show yesterday. Yesterday, Neil. It was great. He's living his life, honey. He got three hoes. Four, Four, four. Guess what? There's a such thing. I asked him. There's an Alaskan king bed, right? What's the called Alaskan king, man? It's Alaskan. He got a. He got a couple of. He sleep with four. He's talking to us. He gotta listen. That man gotta fit five people. Him, four chicks in the. In. In. In the bed. That's a different kind of bed. But what makes you go from a base married to. What makes you go from being married to having like, four girlfriends? Well, I'm gonna tell you the answer since. Yeah, guys, no, no, no, no. Not we. Not guys. We don't got four wives. I can't. It. I'm gonna tell you what the man told me. Okay? That's a good. And it was a good answer. He said, I was tired of hurting women. I was tired of lying. Did he get a lot of hurt? He said, cheating on them and stuff like that to where I was like, fuck it. I'mma let y' all know. I need four y' all with it. Y' all selling in the party. Said, I'm just gonna keep everything a Hundred if the dress looks horrible. Everything gotta be clean slate. He said he's not lying no more. Yeah. And he needs four, you know. You know, and he got put in a lot of work. Boy, I don't think it's that easy. I don't care what he say. They ain't that easy. Four women? Yeah. How could it, bro? I got a daughter and a wife and I'm dizzy. Bro, what are you talking about? Four women. He make it sound like it's easy. That is not easy. Like Rich Play is single. My brother Fritz, player be like, yo, I pray for you. He said, you're. You're going to heaven. How many dicks can you. You bust in a day? How many? Imagine if a. I didn't want to get that day. He got to put it. Could you. Could you. Ow are we going back? And so then it's like, could he technically put in that work on a four clip? What about the album? I'mma feel away also. You're going to feel away pregnant women on set with child. No, because he making it sound easy. And I know it's not easy. I know it's not easy. If you got four bitches, right? You could buzz like twice a day, probably. Oh, my God. If. If it's four, and it's not a bad heart I want to get. But you fucked this bitch and now you care enough for me. Not. Not one. Not one of the bitches is tight. So you ain't telling me it's not easy. You not telling me it's easy. That shit is not easy. For real, dead ass. Yo, but listen what I'm saying. A bitch for a certain type of way. You just fuck this bitch in the morning now. You cannot put me in the afternoon. And I need Bigg now. But you can't fuck me because you fucked this bitch earlier. That shit makes you want to argue. That will get me tight. And so you as a female saying, don't go for that. It's got to be turbulence there. They have to be turbulence. What want me to do, man? Fucking Cardi B. She's saying some real shit. We want to know what the women think. The women want to know what we think. We want to know what they think. With Neo would have been a good one. It would have been. She got. You got this guy crying, killing me like. But that's real. I didn't get into that, right? Like that. I know they be arguing. I want to know now. I want to know. But right before I was about to release the album Something happened with Def Jam, and y' all got up out of it. Yeah. Yeah. How serious it is to be able to do what you want to do and ownership and the. In the politics of the business that after being in something so long, you still have to go through the bullshit. The politics, the politics, and the business never stops. I think that's the rule. I think that's the biggest takeaway from us, you know what I'm saying? We ain't been out in 15 years, and. And it's still the same thing. That's the most for anybody with some type of business, mind you, you can love. You can love rap like we love it, be passionate about it, but it's something with the business side that always discourage. Right. That's right. Discourages you and make you just want to do other things sometimes. Basically, we had the album, had the album, put the album together, so on and so forth. And, you know, they got. We turned it in and we turned it in with the Kendrick verse, and they didn't want to put it out. They didn't want to put it out, basically. They didn't what? I feel like they didn't like the optics while they were going through their lawsuit of, you know, clips Kendrick together on a song, you know, coming out under UMG with the lawsuit they got going on, so on and so forth. So ended up having to. Basically, I got caught in the 211 triple cross that. Nothing to do, basically. Yeah. Cause it a. You know, it wasn't even on that type of time. It happens all the time. It still happens to me. Let me finish. Let him finish, man. So it was, you know, just, you know, so. So. And we ended up having to buy our way out of the situation. It gets a little tricky because we had a one album deal, Eclipse did, and then, you know, I was signed there as well. So you can just, you know, the clips couldn't just leave without me, you know what I'm saying? And so we had to figure it out. And here we are. Roc Nation. You was in a position to buy yourself. Shout out the whole man. Definitely shout out the whole man. Roc Nation. Roc Nation. For sure. Yeah. Yeah, man. You know, just. It's whatever, man. You know, we roll with the punches, bro. Like, that's what we do. That's what we do. That's what it is. We. Yeah. And always got the faith in the music, man. The faith is always in the music. Like, we always know that shit gonna be right. So that's. You know what I'm saying? That's what we believe in, right? Definitely. I got a tour coming up. I think I seen August 3rd, man. September 10th, 25 dates of just back to back, man. They. They sent me a tour bus the other day. I'm like, whoa. Last time you seen one of those. So good to live life when you don't need that bus. Like, man, yo, yo, we used to live on a bus. Now it's like a bus. The but they sent me. The but they sent us two buses. You got a suite. You got a suite and ride with all these people. I'm like, how you know I wouldn't want to be around all these people. Yeah. I turned down towards. Man, my knees ain't the same. In my ankles, man. I be like, what, two months? Keep that. Like, like, you know, I, I. I don't think I could do it. Like, I'm gonna be real with you, you know, I do. I work on the week right now. I'm gone. Like, I go every weekend, but to do the tour thing every day. Yeah. Bringing the noise every day, every city. Yeah. I haven't done that in a long time, B. I don't know if I want that opportunity. I'm keeping it real. Amen. Well, for us, you know, I guess with us just being away for so long, it's like makes. No, it's the, it's the highl front of the. In front of the fans. You know what I'm saying? So we'll sacrifice that. You will sacrif for you too, you know, now too. I love it. Yeah. Oppos the way he. I love it. I love. Listen. I go see Kiss every time he pull ups with one finger. Bro, you not built. Like in this time and era is a lot of young dudes that look older than everybody on his couch. Yeah. From the. Yeah. Whether we all don't want to take the role model stance, but we are. And so, you know, guys prior to us, you know, they, they. They up with drugs and all type of like that. And it was really hard. We, we. We've always loved them for the integrity of the music and what they played for the game. But these young kids, they looking at us. There's a young kid right now popping 25 or something who's probably looking at this like, yo, my OG's look good, bro. That means I could look right. I could be right in the future. I could do right. And that's. That's a moral obligation that we don't accept. But we really do accept. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and I And I could see that y' all be like, yo, we pushing forward. Yeah. The right way. So the young brothers and sisters. Absolutely. Us. Yeah. And. And, and know they could get to the promised land. I got a five year old too, man, so I. I gotta be. Yeah, you gotta be getting loose from you in the park. Yeah. You can't breathe. You can get out of there. You gotta chase him. Yeah, man. Yeah. How y' all feeling about the album? What's the. Was it. I see you had an event. Had to play it for the DJs play a couple sessions. How did it go? I was the reception. Like Pusha said, man, the faith is in the music. You know what I'm saying? It's what we believe in. Once we deliver exactly what it is we want to do when it sounds the way. Exactly the way we want it to sound, we don't think about nothing else. We delivered our part and release it and just see the acceptance, however it comes. The biggest part of a fan, like with me, a biggest part of a fan is like, yo, what the clips are thinking in 2025? Like, what they talking about 2025? You know, something. Well, I don't know if you know, but something you get criticized for is talking that heavy weight. Yeah, 2025, right? Yeah. I got guys that be like, your man be talking. I'll be like, yo, I love this shit. Let. Let me chime in on that. The beautiful thing of coming from where we come from and talking the talk. We talk is the challenge is how could he say, what do you want to say now? After having success, having money, be, you know, getting married up, being a family man, still active, still doing his thing. And when you. Nice. That's the only challenge. Everybody that keeps saying he's saying the same thing, listening. Right, Right. And they just need something to say because they got the keyboard. Not only that, what is everybody else saying? Yeah, what is everybody else saying? I agree with you. One million. I just came off a vacation, San Tropez. I thought I was riding on the plane and it just immediately speaks violence. I just don't know. I'm in the nicest place is beautiful. I draw a nigga heads off. I got eight hours and I'm like, when I blow the head off, it's like, I don't know if people understand. Maybe it's my therapy. Maybe that's what I do. What is it for you? You know what I liken it to? I liken it to, you know, just having. Having a. You know, first of all, Rap has always come from a very real place, you know what I'm saying? So it's like for real rap, for rap, for people that can rap. And, yeah, it comes from a very real place. So, you know, with that being said and, you know, being in it, you know, 23 years, I feel like at this point, I liken it to, you know, only like, you know, somebody who loves mob movies or a person, you know what I'm saying? Person that. That's what they choose to like. You know, I don't. I don't watch. I don't watch horror. I watch A and E. It's scarier. I believe it. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I liken. I liken my music to that as well. I don't know, man. Listen, you can't please Everybody, but listen, 23 years in this, I'm not trying to please nobody but myself. That's what I care about. I know that my taste, my ear and what it is that I want to hear that resonates with a certain type of person. That's the type of person I want to talk to. That's the person I like person. You know what I'm saying? I know the person who says that. Who said. Who says, like, oh, you know, yeah, he talked that heavy. This and that. Like, man, I'm sure I don't even jail with you anyway. We don't even, like, know that. I'm positive I don't like you. We don't like you, but you not even my type of dude. You not, man. So I just, you know, you know, I take it with a grain of salt. But, you know, more importantly, I know, I know who my fan is. Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock bet. The NBA is finally back. Where's New York at? Right here.

Cause he knew what that meant. He couldn't catch you. He couldn't catch me. But I was running, you know? The point is, one day I made a bet with Big Pun, and I was like. He was like, yo, man, you can't grow no hair. I said, you fucking crazy. My shit like the Brady Bunch. If I want right now, I grow braids, whatever. So I try to grow this shit. And it was like, rest in peace to the hairline. Everything. That shit was coming up like. Man Pun has some old jokes about that shit. I lost it. So I saved my. But now I got guys that. They do the fake. They got like a tattoo. I can't do that. I can't do it either. Yeah, yeah. But you could do the turkey. I can't do this. Because it's your real hair. Come back, too much money.

So legend disrespect. Shout out to Yuli and just Jesse Torero. He got the. With the curl. Like, they would think I ain't Fat Joe. I'll be Fat Joe's twin or some. With some. I would really be on some if I had him this week in hip hop history, y'. All. May 19th. Man, DMX dropped in 1998. The dog. Always love for the dog. 1998, he dropped. His debut album Is Dark and Hell is Hot. The importance of that album to me is that, you know, he put us on. He came and got us, put us, bought us with Rough Riders, told him, this is we starting it off like, you know, this who I want to represent with me and. And the rest was history. To see where we came from. To see where he came from. He was already damn near like Bruce Springsteen. And, yo, we. We already looked at him as, like, a rock star. Then fast forward. Him being the only or one of the only rappers that ever do Woodstock. That is crazy. You know what I mean? That video will forever mean the world to me because you know what I mean? He gave me a chance to change my family's financial situation, you know, DMX stuck a guy up right in front of me. DMX stuck a lot of niggas. Dmx? No, but he was already a star. Oh, he did it after he was ex. Yes, it's me, him, and Pun in a gas station in Brooklyn after a show. Thousands of people after the show. We in the gas station. Dude comes with some chains. The DMX was like, yo, hold up, y'. All. He went and took his chains came back and started talking to us in the gas station. Yo, dmx, he can't get indicted. He dead. So. No, no, no. He done. He dead. I'm not. I'm just telling you a true story. Like, I got so many DMs. We gotta filter some of these stories. Yo, I'm telling you. You might have. You gotta have. Incredible. I'm not telling you none of them the crazy. Since we gonna. I gotta give a Pun story. Look, when we shot the John Blaze video, DMX showed up. No, listen. This is how long ago it was. And this sound crazy. This was stash Boxes first got invented. He wanted to test his. It was more before that, but go ahead. It was. No, in the 80s, we had stash. It wasn't. They wasn't doing what the shits was doing as the. As if technology. He wanted to test his own out. He drove. Somebody was driving. He was in the passenger, let off a four, I don't know what it was. And wanted to get pulled over and got pulled over. And I said, this nigga's nuts, though. He is nuts. That was the crazy. He put it in the stash. Yeah, he let. He had enough in front of the cops. Let it off. Pull a block of doo doo. Pull over. I don't know what you talk about, Officer. This. And they have this. That make it pop out yet? So he was. I said, this Pun is crazy. I just had the bins. The way to explain it to you. The way to explain it to you, right, is you know, how somebody could be a genius in something. And then in just common sense, he just don't know what he's like. I would go to his house, right? And he would have about 30, 40 guns in this house. If you sat in the pillow, it was a gun. You put your hand on the chicken, it was a gun. You hit it. It was just. And I would sit there because I really came from the streets. I know what RICO indictment thought indictments are. I know what all this is. I done came from. I'd be like, they're gonna make a jail just for you, buddy. Nah, they don't lock rappers up like that. They got swimming pools for rappers and all that. Tennis courts. I'm like, yo, he's thinking about the futuristic Feds. What? And I would tell him, like, yo, Pun, you're crazy, bro. Then I go around his hood and the cops pull me over, right? Cause Pun, one of the only rappers who never moved out the hood, even till he died, he refused to move out the hood. I was already in Jersey. Like, yo, come to Jersey. Birds are chirping. You know, he. Now I'm in the hood. I'm the realist. This pun at the crib in the hood, Tim Benzes, exotic twenty thousand dollar dogs and all type of shit. Like, he was Big Pun, double platinum in the hood. Scooter. He didn't care. And so I would go to his hood and as a respected elder brother, the police pulled me over. So I'm like, your officer, why you putting your. Joe, man? You know the. You gotta stop throwing eggs at the old ladies in front of the supermarket. You know, we know he's the only guy with the bends with the water gun, shooting the old ladies. I'm like, yo, I go in this house, I start arguing with everybody in the house. Like, yo, pun, they're gonna put you in jail. You shooting the water guns at the old ladies. They know the only guy with a 500 Benz in the soundview issue pun, you're going, nah, he just didn't. He, he. He would go real from genius to common sense. No sense. Like, I had a real struggle with him and Nori because Nori's also my little brother. When they was together, they was crazy. Them two together is nuts. Oh, they used to see me and be like, yo, Joe's the fun killer. He's the fun killer. No, I don't want you to go to jail and not get to the bag. Like, I know what's going on out here. You guys are too crazy. They gave us a sign. I don't know who's controlling your time, but. Hold up. So he only got five minutes. Mama, come over here. I want you to sit on the couch. Make this shit legendary, you know what I'm saying? Sit down. Mama, you know we love you. How proud are you to be Bubba Chuck's moms and his journey in life, you know, with Bubba Chuck and all the success and how you see him come around as a man, it's important. Cause you're the first mother athlete's mother that we all fell in love with. We love you. Braiding his hair in the middle of the court. And you, I gotta stop you with that. That's not me. I braided his hair. He's supposed to know that I braided his hair from all the. When he first wanted his hair braided. Now I did braid his hair, but his hair was coming loose in the back. And he was worried about his hair. You know, he liked to be fly. He was worried about his hair coming to loose. So, you know, my sister called me, and she was like, ian, he keep on telling me and looking at me, and I don't know how to braid hair. And I was like, brandy, but all you gotta do is just braid his hair. You braid him just the back of it. And so when I got there, I saw my son. That cap is rubbing off on it. If it is cap, it's rubbing off. Cause Mommy got. Yeah. Cause Mommy got about over there. Mommy got his. Oh, Flack. Mommy got the story wrong. It is what it is. I gotta be authentic. You taught me to be that way. You know what I mean? It didn't go down. It didn't go down. And then he over there calling, now, I'm Bubba Chuck. Why he talking to Mommy now? I go to. At first I was AI. Now I turned into Bubba Chuck when he talking to Mommy. But it didn't. It ain't. It ain't happened like that. Well, it happened. You. You, You. I got my version, too. You got your version? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So all of a sudden, we, you know. You know, your son AI, you know, my mom's ain't here, man. So we want to hear it, like, you know. You know, how proud are you of your son, man, and all his accomplishments and how he inspired generations of people. First of all, I was proud of him from the first day I saw him, you know, because back then. Yeah, back then. Back then when you have a baby, and I was so young, like he said, so, you know, I had to have him cesarean birth, and I was sleep. So when I came, when I woke up in recovery and they brought me to. Brought him to me, and I was like, he's so light, and you know what I'm saying? But when he opened his eyes and he looked at me and I saw my eyes looking back at me, I said, oh, yeah, that's my baby. You know? And I checked everything. I checked everything on him. But what really blew my mind is, first of all, I got kicked off the basketball team because I got pregnant with him. But what blew my mind was his hands and his arms. His arms was past his kneecap. When I laid them out like that, they went way past his kneecap. And I was like, I got a baller. And I was happy. I was happy. And so I told my family. I told my whole family. I was like, you know, I got a ballerina. So everybody was, like, looking at me like I was simple or whatever. But the thing is, from that point on, he came in my life and he Was the perfect child. He was not hard headed. He would listen to everything I said and he loved the daylights out of me. And at that point I needed love because of the fact that my mom had died at 29 years old. Malpractice. But anyways, the Iverson says senator to Virginia. And that's the best thing they could have done for me. And when I had him, when I was carrying him, I was pregnant playing ball in Hartford, Connecticut. And I went from there to Bethel High School playing ball. And he had a favorite cheer and his chair. Don't do that, Ma. Okay, we gotta hear, we gotta hear. Mama, mama, Mama. Don't listen to him. Yeah, tell us the chair. Yeah, it was your favorite cheer. And it used to be. No, no, it used to be is everybody be on the court. And we had halftime and then everybody had to sing go Bruins, go. And everybody will shut up and he'll say, shake that thing. So that's my story. But far as proud, I want to tell you something that he said to me this year. I said, bubba, I said, you know, I am so proud of you. I said, you just make me so proud. I'm proud of you. I just wanted to express that to him so he'll know it from my heart. Yeah. And he said, I'm not finished. He said, I'm not finished making you proud. And that's what he been doing. With that being said, this ain't that, that ain't that. This cracking kiss makes some noise for our guests, AI and Mama Love. How does it feel to be on a Guinness book and beat one of the biggest female superstars with the most longevity and relevancy in the game? I mean, honestly, it's a blessing. I'm super, super humbled. And it's funny when you talk about that, remember I didn't know what none of that meant, you know what I'm saying? I'm a new artist, so maybe we happy for you. Yes, everybody's happy. And I'm looking at him. Well, is that good? 500,000, is that a good number? You know what I'm saying? I genuinely had no idea. Is it a good number? So I was just like super appreciative and to be able to be here today and still as we both were in an arena in London to a sold out 20,000 seater, holding a mic out, allowing people to sing our records is a blessing, you know what I'm saying? So I'm just so happy. I'm grateful, you know. Oh man, you know, we very competitive in our house, because you know we didn't do. That means the baby got all. That's the dagger, though, that she throws. Like my debut did a hat. No, no, she don't. But you did a little. You did a half the fucking. I'm looking at the video. Okay, hold up. 2633. Hold up, Jada.

Could I talk about that? Talk about it. Shanti. Shanti was like the studio. We was just a studio body. You could call it a studio rat. That's what they used to say. That's what they used. I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying that studio body, she up in there. And the first day I met her, she was so upset because they broke into her car and stole her radio. This woman was ready to file charges to the moon and back. What happened? You just stole my radio. Crackhead broke them. I mean, it was like somebody murdered somebody. I'm up in that. I'm like, yo, they stole a radio with the Benzi box. Oh, you take the box. They stole her. She was like, radio.

And then after that, it was the princess of that was it hip hop and soul. And she. Yo, no talk. Every time I see this. He was advocating when we weren't together. Nelly, what are you doing? Every time I see her kiss Nelly, my God, how you been? That's great. What are you doing? You said, that's why you need that for 10. You know, I'm sorry. At first, he thought I was bugging out now.

Who? Yo, Fifth. What's up? We perform in Germany in two days. But I remember the time when I got into it with him at the MTV Awards. You know, his business is really crazy, right? Because you think everybody, your man, everybody this and this and that. Well, you was the only person out of all the rappers that I knew that I seen get up. And you was telling me, yo, I got you. Like, I'm holding you down in that. When I was like, yo, 50 said this. And then he came back and dissed me, but you had my back. Well, I knew Five. Five. Me and Five always had a great relationship.

And your video Huston is the key to the me. You, Nas, Elliot. Nas, man. Like, you know, them pictures come out, like, once you hear them pictures, like, it's gonna be here forever. I love that, man. We was kids in the. But you pulled up to the Bronx. That missed something, though. That missed something because let him get in fly on this. Coming from Chicago, man, one of the things we wanted was just to be heard by New York and for you to be like, yo, come on. Even though he's on the same label, if you. If you thought I was on some weak shit, you'd have been like, back off. Thank you. The beloved of all beloved. I'mma tell you, she said, look, let me hear the second one. Well, the second one we didn't talked about a lot where you, man, you practically saved my life. Oh, get the other flag back. Yo, yo, Jay, Jay, yo, that, man, really saved my life. Like, I was out on the west coast with my guy. One of my guys I knew through one of my close homies, but he was my guy. And he just wasn't happy with the whole situation. The whole ice cube Mac 10 beef that we had told him we had squashed it. We doing it. We sitting there doing a commercial. This was the most money I was getting paid ever for something at that point in time. So we at peace. We like, yo, we. Things is good. Everybody was saying, my guy just. He from Chicago, he just couldn't hold it. He couldn't hold it. So he started ruffling shit. And, man, it just got a little heated. And I want to say that it's not because Fat Joe's tougher than anybody. I literally beg for your life. I literally got in the middle and was like, please, he's my friend. He's my brother. You know, he. You know, some people take things personal. And they finally saw him, and he was on there, Saw you. And they was talking crazy. And I was like, no way. This guy. I said this literally my brother. And I was begging them because it was the serious ones. I was like, please, this is my brother Joe. You know, we've been. We've been waiting to catch this guy. I said, listen, I can't. I just couldn't do. I just. And basically, I stood in the middle, like, please, guys. Like, I cannot do it. But they. They said it was over after that day, right? Correct. After that day. But you settled that like, like, I'm like, man, we are on. We in California. Don't start nothing my homie already. Cause they already, like you said, they already wanted a piece on me, no matter what. Cause so my guy out there, he just. He's just going off. And anyway, I knew Joe. I ain't even hit him, but I ain't know everything he did, but he did. I knew it was him that said, yo, this can't happen. And because he had a, you know, a relationship. Super relation still, my brother. Shout out to that and yeah, shout out to. Shout out to Inglewood. Yeah, Inglewood. That's my family. Inglewood family. What's good? That's when Fat Joe, the gangster, I was like, this, this here is because he straight up was like, you can't do that to my man. It was like a. Like one of the movies we used to talking about good fellows. You can't. Hey, once again, I begged him. I was in their mercy. And I was just like, please, this is my brother. This is my family. I did that one time for Rich Player, my best friend. One time they was about to do it and not saying rich and I mean real deal, but he was getting into it with a seven headed monster guy who just kills. He's in jail for too many bodies. And I had to jump in the middle and be like, yo, yo, yo. I can't. It's like, yo, fat boy, get out the way. I was like, oh, no, I can't. This is my family. I can't. I knew what it meant. They Real Deal. And this other guy's, you know, a Jeffrey Dahmel. And I'm. And I'm a monster. And I'm sitting there like, yo, listen, please let me get in. I said, no, shout out to. Knock him dead end. Knock him dead, y'. All, Eddie. Yeah, up there. But they go, but they go. The man go. Because the first argument I ever had with him, right, he goes the next day to Rich and they block on Cyprus and says, if Joe got in the middle, that means you're good guys. Let's become friends. And they wound up being best friends. My man's still in jail 30 something years, but he went the next day. He took it on himself and said, if Fat Joe threw himself in the middle trying to squash it, these guys got to be good guys. And it was all over, you know, staring at each other in the club. And a couple of girls and you know, these guys, they kill each other over girls. These gangsters, man. A lot of gangsters in Jail, killing over girls.

Yes, and everybody knew what that was. Somebody was disappearing over the Ninna. Yeah, no, I know maniacs like that, man. But you know, common, man, you're the beloved of all beloved. Let's keep it peace. Hey, I said, you know, I said, what's that like spoken sage or something? It was supposed to protect us from that story. It's similar to say it's Palo Santo. It's Palo Santo. And you know, it come from the trees down in Chile. Bring in the good energy. Bring in the good energy. I never really brag about jail because I only did four months. I got friends that did 20, 30, 40 years. But last night I get. I only did four days, huh? I only did four days, man. That's a lot. Looking out the window for four days, looking at the bus stop. What I know you was at county. So you had black coffee, bologna sandwich, shit like that. Had smelled a cup of Kool Aid. Tell you something, I did two vitamins. I gotta explain this to you. I did time in the Feds donut. And there's two, you know, I'm a thinking, right? Orange juice. Let me tell you, I'm just thinking, right? I grew up in the projects, right? And there's this grass in the middle of all the project buildings. We got big project buildings. Every building's 14th floor. 145 apartments. Counted all the doors, right? Everybody was 14 floors. 145 apartments. Counting all the doors, counted all the doors now. And everybody got nine kids. So this shit is like, you fuck up one guy, you got to fight the other brother. You got to fight Jamie Jonathan Crayford till you get up, Till one of them found you out. You got to go up the line. Then the diesel brother come out. Good luck. Yeah. At least you stood tall. You fought him. You got. You got your ass whipped. That's where I come from. Projects is like Gladiator. The point I'm trying to make is there's a big grass in my projects. Everybody has shootouts there. They have fights. You know, one day, I go up to the roof of my building and I look at the grass and I say to myself, was this like an experiment? Because, like, if you go up on my roof and you see the gun battles and the fights and everything that happened in the middle of the grass, you sit up there, it's almost like the Coliseum. And so where I'm getting to is when you go to the Feds, where I went, you got 2,000 dudes, Jamaicans, Aryan Nations Spanish dudes, black dudes, these white American dudes. And there's only four tables. I'm just trying to. There's four tables with four chairs. That's 16 seats, and there's 2,000 guys, and it's right in front of the three TVs. You got the Spanish TV. The blackest guy don't know English. You looking at the mommies in the Spanish TV like, that's like Telemundo. No, no, that shit is like. You might as well call that shit soft porn, motherfucker. Looking at that, they don't gotta know what they talking about. They up in there like this every day, like. So you got four tables? Of course I got a table, right? Oh, I got a table. No, no. I'm walking there in 10 minutes. 10 minutes. I said, yo, who sits in them tables? Homeboy looked at me shook because a lot of guys are. They not really real. Just because you in jail, you act tough. That's it. You get in jail, I watch people get smacked, punched in the face, and said, my bag, and keep walking. These guys. These are playing basketball, nephew. You don't gotta go in there for me to tell you the guys you think is tough on your block. I watch guys get punched in their face and say, my bag, I'm sorry, and walk away. I never seen no shit. Like, you got to fucking murder me. Like, you just can't do it, right? So I'm up in there. He does that. I go down to the table. Guy's sitting there. I'm like, yo, my man, get the fuck up. He don't want to get up. I say, you're my man. You got to get the fuck up. He got up and he left. So I took the table. Ten minutes in there, right? Sit down. Half the jail hated me. A thousand hated me because they was like, oh, he's not gonna kick freestyles. This in here on this, right? He wanted you to rhyme. Everybody rhyming Jail Jay. They're like, everybody want to ride for you. I ain't let one dude ride for me. So I'm sitting down in the chair. They looking. Some of them hate me, some of them don't. Whatever. Who gives a right? Only got four months anyway. So I'm willing to be in the box for the four months. The point is, soon as I figured it out, like, I just needed, like, a week in there, right? Because the. The first week, they. The feds don't give you commissary. I don't give a fuck if you Donald Trump. It takes you two weeks. I am getting it. I walked in there. Listen, you got him getting. I got him getting it. Nah, I got him getting it. He breaks the rules. Let me tell you. I walked in with $5,000 cash in my pocket to put in commissary. Still took two. Two weeks. The point is, the first meal, I had to wait online. And they were very generous. Everybody, they kept throwing, like, the plate. They kept on. They threw, like, six or eight of them on my table, right? When I tell you this shit tastes like dog. When. Listen, even the guys that mind their business, there's some guys in jail, mind their business, don't bother nobody. They over there, they don't talk to nobody. You know, they good people. When I tell you, all of them looked over and wanted to see my first reaction when you had his fucking food. This was dog shit. This food, right? My dog was eating better than this. They all look and they was like, okay, he know what it is in here now, right? So I go like that, but very quick. I got me Italian chef. They had a chef down in the. In the thing. Chef junior. He wasn't pussy, so don't think. He was just Italian, but he was my chef. He made me homemade ice cream, mozzarella. They would steal the clams, and he would make me linguine. So it's all type of shit. We were dumbing out, right? Then I got the guy I got pick up a guy. I told you about Hong Kong's Mongolian. So in jail. In jail. How you think the Hong Kong's Mongolian? Because he was the guy nobody wanted. And so in jail, if you white, you with the white guys. You black, you with the black guy, you with the Spanish. He was a white guy that the white guys ain't want. But I saw him. Yeah, but he was, man, he had that boot strength. So, like, he played basketball and nobody want to DM because he'll hit you with an elbow or he was strong. So I said, my man, come with us, man. You eat with us. You with us. I gave him a name, Hong Kong's Mongolian. And one day he comes up to me because the guy's. Yeah, partially slow. I mean, but he's just. No, no, he's not slow. He's just slow. He's. Yeah, he's a little bit. He ain't go past second grade. But this guy was, you know, he was Damn second grade. Nah, but you give him at least. Give him at least sixth grade. No, this guy take out 10, give him six. This guy would take out 10, 20 guys like it was all out war. He's gonna take out 10, 20. He's Hong Kong's Mongol. Yo, look at. He used to stand there like this. The white guys was looking like, oh, it gotta be something to this. Fat Joseph snatched up this guy and I'm calling him in the old job, yo, listen. Ain't no different than this show. Hong Kong's Mongolian. He's walking through Peter. What's up, boss? They looking like we made him a steak. We didn't recruit this. He was like Shador. They let him go. They let him go. He went past all the drafts. And I said, seen the sparkle in him. I said, yo, this is Hong Kong's money. He come up to me one day. He said, boss, boss. I said, what's up? He said, I just realized Hong Kong and Mongolia is two different places. I said, my man, shut the up. Be happy I gave you a day. Get the out of here. Okay, boss. Okay, boss. He goes on, But I got this story where I thought about it last night, and I don't really brag about jail. Because guys did 10,000 years in jail. But in the feds, less now than ever. But they always said, you go to the feds and guys got money in there. So next to me in the table, don't ask me how they got the table was four Latinos. But they. They could be. I'm in Miami, so they could be, like, Cuban. But I Don't think they Cuban, but you could tell they got money. Like in the streets. If I pulled up in the Cullinan, they pulling up. In the Cullinan, they pulling up. These guys got money. They're not bothering nobody. They got money. I don't really talk to them because they really ain't my type of guys. I'm sorry if y' all watching. They wasn't my style of guy, you know what I'm saying? And so one day, we sitting there, we watching tv, and the guy goes and orders a pizza pie. Now, at least the jail I was in, a pizza pie is like caviar, right? Everybody ain't have a pizza pie. Any normal person, they have had a real pizza pie or somebody gel. Pizza pie is still a big deal in jail. I watch niggas throwing bananas down they shit or apple. Like, do the most derelict shit for anything in there. Like, I mean, grown men, yo, watching your back while you stealing a banana. That's how bad it is in jail, bro. This shit is really a third world country in America. It's bad in there. But anyway, pizza. They up to like 20 pizzas for no reason. They couldn't even eat it. Y' all. Another pizza. Every time a pizza came, they kept looking at me. My table was right next to them. It was like, I go in my cell, okay? In the feds, at least the jail I'm at, the eggs they give you in the morning is powdered eggs. They had never seen a real egg in the jail. A fucking egg. Think about when you go to store, buy a dozen. They had never seen a real egg in the jail I was in. I go in my cell, I come out, microwave's right there, the whole fucking shit. You see, crack an egg. Bam. One, that was it. Yo, they had never seen the egg. Bam. One, bam. Two, bam. I'm up to 40, 50 eggs. Just. Yo, yo, yo, yo, Bam, bam. Like I'm the old jail's watching the arms. Yo, yo, yo, I'm trying to. That's 48. How about I keep going. Oh, to like 6 to 7. 67. 8. 6 to 7. 6, 7. Like this, the motherfucker look at me dizzy. They learned the pizza dudes, bro, they never seen an egg. I bust open so many eggs, the scrambled eggs was so big. And I just kept going like this, like, letting them know, like, yo, bro, I got shit you ain't even see in this fucking jail. Y' all trying to play with me with some pizzas. Y' all got me fucked up. I Get up to the six, seven. I give it a Chef Junior. Let him go. You know what's crazy is we had this. This. This. No offense, with this slight racist. What I'm about to say right now. We had. No, no, no. I'm telling you. We had one Asian guy in the whole jail. One Asian. And I would bother him every day, like, yo, you make Chinese rice? You know how to cook? You know how to cook? You make. I'm a fat dude. Like, I prefer, like, listen to me, man. I want the Chinese rice. The man telling me, yo, I don't cook. I keep bothering him, yo, He's. I don't cook. I don't cook. I'm like, yo, you got Chinese? You know? Huh? They know how to make it. He would. I gotta give him it. He wouldn't let me punk him into making Chinese rice. I kept bothering them, like, yo, you make Chinese? You got Chinese food. You got Chinese. You know how he was like, no, I don't know. All right. So one day is my man's birthday, and I give the dude the white towel, like a Mr. Chow. And I have him. I have him serve my man for his birthday, like his man. I said, Yo, Mr. Chow, baby. Mr. Chow. I captain with the white. With the white towel over his head. I'm like, yo, Mr. Child, man. In the feds, man, you got Mr. Chow. I mean, yo, we was clowns, man. This thing is crazy. No, no, yo, listen. Clowns, I said. So I go on the visit, and somebody slips me some Jordans. Now, in the Feds, you either wearing a gray sweatsuit or a beige. I don't give a fuck who you are. They are not. No one has Jordans. I got it by default. Tell me, yo, slip your shit off. I slipped it off in the Visit. Then I put him on his Jordans. Biggest mistake of my life. Like, I go up at the elevator. The whole elevator is like, you know, because you in this building, they got these elevators. You could put a tractor trailer in there. So they got 300 guys on the villa. And the whole visit is looking at my feet. Like I walk in the tier. Puerto Rican dude, barber. I would love to see him. He was a barber with a little tail from Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico. He was a real one. So he runs up and goes, like, I tell you, it's real ratio in there. He runs up and goes, may Bach. May Bach. He starts screaming as if I wanted to be on the low. It's no low. He's screaming, maybach. Maybach. Basically, he's saying, yo, the Puerto Rico, the Latino guy, the Maybach, like the Cullinan on his feet. You ain't never see this shit. He telling everybody, yo, them Jordans is a Maybach in here, man. It's a Maybach. And he's screaming at everybody. Start looking up from all corners. So I get the spaghetti feet damn near. You know, my looking like Jerry Lewis. I'm walking too. I want they did. I'm not for sure I'm in trouble, right? For sure. I'm not scared of somebody stealing the sneaker. I'm in trouble, right? So I felt like homeboy, what's his name? Huggy Bear, with the fish tank pumps. Remember when he came out the jail, he had the fish in the shoes. Years later, and they was playing Public Enemy. This shit, I'mma get you, sucker, bro. I felt like Huggy Bear walking out there in them shits. Sure enough, the next day, they rush my cell. They got these people like Internal affairs or whatever they call sis. They rush the cell. Boom. I'm working out. They pull out the Jordans. I go on the thing. The system warden is there. Now this woman. Shout out to the woman. She's like, tough, real tough. So I said, hey, I was always nice to this lady. I don't know why I was always nice to her. Anytime I passed her, anytime I did something, I was like, hey, more than I. I had that report. So she says, none of these people are your friends, Joe. We got like 40 phone calls from the hotline talking about, you got the Jordans. So I'm like, you know, I know my friend. She said, do you know what we got in here? I said, no. She said, such and such. The leader of the Shower Pass. Such and such. The leader of the guerrilla Falk army in Colombia. Such and such. The kingpin of all. Because it's Miami's the hub. Yeah, that's true. So if you doing work out there, Jamaica, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico, the killers are all killers. They throw them over. It's Miami's the hub, right? And she said, and do you know every floor I go to, whose name I hear the most? She said, fat Joe. I said, yo, what you want me to do? Like, I've been humble. I don't get into arguments with nobody. She's like, jody, not your friend. They called up and she gave me a chance. Thank God. But that was. That was. You know, they all called on me. All you guys. You know who you are. They all called on me about the Jordans. But, you know, jail was Different. I don't advise nobody to go there. To me it's like communism. It's a third world country. If your family don't send you no money, then you have no resort but to do crazy things, man. But I was just thinking about that today. Because I don't try to think about that. You know what I'm saying? But sometimes it can't escape your mind. Yeah. Last night. I don't know. It's the simple things, man. I was just thinking about it because, you know, my whole life I've been chasing the stunt. My whole life I've been flexing. My whole life, since I'm a kid, I've been trying to make a movie. And I just got. I started laughing when I thought about the eggs and the pizza pie. Like I really stunted on them with the eggs. I always think about the late, great DJ Clark Kent, super producer. Rest in peace to my brother King. God's favorite man. God's favorite. He, you know, this guy was the best in the world. He passed away. But I always think about what he said. Cause you know, he did it all. Like he was cool with Biggie, Jay Z, like he put them on. He started with Cool Herc. He seen this whole shit from hip hop. He wasn't that old, man. He wasn't. He's one of the Cool Hercs, original DJ Superman. Clark Kent was down with K. That's how far he go back. I met DJ Khaled and DJ Nasty at a Cool. At a Clark Kent battle. He had a battle and we came up. That's how I met Khed online around Flo Jo Time. And so he said that Biggie and Jay Z both his mans. And Biggie would be like, yo, why you say Jay Z? But he used to tell Biggie that Jay Z's better than him, right? And Biggie would be like, how you think he nicer than me? He'd be like, yo, because you a rapper, he's an emcee. He's like a poet. He could, you know, this is early Jay Z, before all the hits. He's a poet, whatever the case may be. And so to me, the difference of an emcee and a rapper is an emcee is. And you have huge hits too. But you more. You got your hand on the third rail. Talib Kweli, Jadakiss, Common. These, these are KRS MCs, rappers. What he's referring to is the guys on Billboard that crossed over and we think they commercial. What do you think about that argument right There that he was having between Big and Jay Z, where Big was like, yo, I'm nicer than son. But he was like, nah, Jay, nicer than you. He's an emcee. Of course, this is before success. What do you think the difference between an emcee and a rapper is? I think an emcee is just what it means. Know what I mean? You control in the maestro. You can do everything. You have diversity. You have ad. You know, you. You can do different. Can. You can do a beer commercial, you can do an R B feature. You can do it all. A rap is just playing with words. You know, the ability to put words together. MC can control the crowd. He can. He can. He can have the crowd in his hands. He can engage with the crowd. Yeah, but Nelly, not just even. The crowd was just, hey, it's all about the money. Now you're going into being an entertainer. You know what I mean? Is it entertainer? Is it rapper? Is it mc? Oh, it's a songwriter. Now you got, you know, you got people that wrote the song that you never even seen. Yeah. Pac was everything. All the tools of everything. He. He was everything. He can do drama. He can make music. Because I'm trying to find out who's the perfect one. Like, so you say pop. That's why I say mama's like a Picasso. Yeah. It's like. It's the best songwriter in the game. You got guys like hov, who at I Love the Dough was talking about, you know, we copped the hottest V's, da da. We play Monopoly with real cash and then big come on his shit, right? Was you ever there for any of them, like, big songs? I was there for Hypnotized. I was there when he wrote Hypnotized. Was you there for I Love the Dough or anything like that? I was there for I Love Zido. No, he was actually in the. We was in the midi room. You know what I mean? They both was there. Yeah, they laid. It was nothing. It was no email. You had to be there. So you seen them both going at it right there. It wasn't battling or none of that. They was trying to make a hit song, which they did. Did you see any paper? We was mad. Did you see any paper in rhymes? No, I didn't. It was all off the top. No, listen. Like, I didn't see. Listen, you tell the story or not? Everything I tell is real. You got a hood for a reason. Listen, we was in the MIDI room. We was the young Locks and Hov. Hov Kept coming in our room, like giving us an update of what's going on. Like, yo, I gotta go for. I'm about to go first this that. He's like, nah, you go in there and kill that. Oh, I mean. And that's what it. He was probably going to the bathroom, didn't he? He stopped in the MIDI kicking with us, you know, I mean. And we actually seen Angela Winbush. That's not a sample. That's her singing I Love the dough. We see her laying the hook. We've seen DMX laying. Pray and pray for my downfall. That ain't a sample. Evil. We seen them record that live. We wanted a fortunate artists to be featured on Life After Death. There's only a couple features on there. So we love big forever. You know, I mean, we thankful to been around for the process of Life After Death and slightly before that. And it was a beautiful thing. But yeah, we was in the studio the day they made. I was in the stuff. I love the dough. I think I was in the stew. Either I was there for a lot of them or when we would come for our session, he. We would hear what he just did. Long kiss good night. A lot of them sh. Ts. Of course we was there for last days. Cause we featured on it. Yeah. But you know, when I think about. When we talking about the perfect emcee, the perfect rapper, perfect performer, entertainer. Came up a lot today. I think DMX shows. Which one of them DMX songs. You was there. Every song he recorded almost shut him down. Open up shop. I don't think he wanted to do that. When Swizz first bought it to him, he didn't. He didn't want to do it. He didn't want to do that. I don't think at first. I don't think he was like happy to do it until it when it was done. When I tell you it was a major hit. And at this time, I was still halfway in the Bronx. So I'm at the car wash. And when I tell you every single car, I don't care. It was a Spanish dude that would be playing salsa. They was playing that. Like. That song had me the dizziest. You know how you go Fordham Road, where you go in Yonkers when you want to see if your record was popping like Benjamin came out 25th. You go to Fordham. You go to Fordham. You see the cars coming up and down the hill and see who's playing my album. Up and down the hill. Yeah, man. I have never witnessed in the history of the Bronx stop. Shut him down, yo. I was dizzy. It was everywhere. Like that was the craziest to me of standing outside trying to hear your song. That was that shit right there and he didn't even want to record that. I think Swizz had a little problem making them get into lay to once you find him with the final mix and master version came out and they know it was a. They knew what it was, you know, when I went, What a matchup. We got, y'. All. This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat everybody showing that school pride Game like this, yeah, it be could calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

I'm with everything Lil Wayne ever did. In fact. Lil Wayne, let's salute Wayne. Let's salute the game, right? Cause when you listen to traditional west coast music, although game could touch it, his sound has always been universal. It could be east coast, down, whatever. Game got a sound that could go everywhere, right? And with Lil Wayne, he was the first guy to come, like, really straight out the south. Of course, you got Goody Mob, you got Andre 3000, but that sound like south music. This guy was rapping to like hardcore beats, but was throwing these flows on the shit. It never been seen. I'll tell you one Lil Wayne story. We do the taking over with Khaled. I thought I had everybody. When you see crack better duck like the Mac Gotta East Fats they don't want sick I don't give a. I run it. I thought I had everybody on the. I heard everybody's verse. No, I don't think that all the time. I'm not. No, for sure I'm not. But you're always delusional. Yeah, No, I don't always think that. I'm confident. No, no, there's. Sometimes I know it's gonna be like that, but at the time being, I don't think I'm the best. I make anthems. It is what it is. But that one record, I thought I had him kiss. And then we go and I go with Callie. He says, yo, come with me. Let's convince Wayne to get on this record. I said, no problem. We play it for Wayne. Wayne is in the studio. He's not even in the big studio. He's upstairs in the Hit Factory. But upstairs, he got a room with just the whole shit of speakers. And he's up in there and he plays the shit and he's staring at the speakers. He gets in the studio, in the booth, they crank it up. He goes, I am the beast Feed me hip hop or feed me beats I ain't unless on easy street. Why relax on easy Street? I said, why did I bring Khaled over here, beg this motherfucker to get on this record? Like, I begged him. I begged you to get on New York. I don't know if you recall, Fat Joe begged you to get on New York and send you that beat. Lil Wayne, I begged him to get on taking over. I'm telling you the truth. Okay, I got you, remember? I don't recall. No, I'm just telling you that's what happened. I'm telling you what happened. Same thing with Lil Wayne. I go over there, yo, we really need you. Wheezy dancing I am a beast Feed me hip hop or feed me beast I'm unwrapped on DJ Tree why relax facts on easy Street I was like, crazy. I walk out of that studio dizzy by. No, it was hello. You thinking, oh, yeah, Joe, you know, you gotta feel like you're the best. No, I walked out of them stairs, like, knowing I got destroyed on that. I'm walking down the stairs like Gallus, like, yo, we got it. You heard what he said? I'm like, get out of here, bro. The done destroyed my side like a on this. I thought I finally had these guys. He can't Nah, nah. Lil Wayne, he different. We take it over Monte Ellis, he was a step ahead of everybody. I'm telling you guys. You look at him and he's at the basket beautifully, right? Lil Wayne, he was a step ahead of. He was a little bit faster. He was a little. He was a little. It was something to him where he dumb out. You like that too, but he dumb out like, he just be like that and he ain't gonna let go. He's like a pit bull. Once he got you and you like, oh, shit. He just won't stop. He'll just keep doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on that shit. Come on, man. Man was taking beats. He was taking. What? Jay Z. What's the shit he did over the. Who was the Jay Z beat, man? When Lil Wayne did that? We didn't even know you could rhyme to that shit. What? Jay Z beat? Oh, no, he did one of them. I don't know what it was. He did one of them shits over so legendary that Lil Wayne on there. I didn't know you could rap like that on that beat like we did. Easy. You heard that. Thought of this crazy story, right? It's gonna lead to a question for you, right? This is crazy. It's insane. It's an insane one, right? But it's the truth. It's uncappable, right? So I got a friend, right? He passed away. We used to call him Joe Bentley because he owns so many Bentleys. When we go to Miami, we used to have all these drop top Bentleys. This guy had too many Bentleys. Like a Italian dude. Too much, right? He died. You said he died, right? But I'm just telling you this story. Cause I thought about it on the way here. I was like, who it be? But anyway, so this guy must have been the original capper. Cause you know, everything I say is true. These people just ain't have an incredible life like me. So they can't. They can't comprehend the shit I be saying, right? So this man was the bigger Kappa than me. So every time he was so rich, but every time he would tell me stories, I'd be like, he's full of. Told me he used to fuck Share. One day he picks me up in my house in Miami, pulls up Star Island, Share opens the door in the Boostier, and this walks in shit you can't believe, right? So the man tells me that when O.J. simpson was in the Bronco, he was in the airport with the private. That O.J. simpson is his man, right? He was the one waiting for him, for him and AC Green to come on a private breakout. This guy did he tell me, I'll count. But the point is, the man telling me all this shit the whole time. I know, yo, Fendi, I know he's. I know he's my man. He filthy witch. But the shit he was telling me, I could not believe, right? So one day, it's his wife's birthday and he says, yo, we throwing. His wife is named Nicole. Joe Bentley, his wife is named Nicole. So he says, yo, we throwing her birthday party in my other house, up in, like, where Trump lives, Palm beach or some shit. We pull up, this got white horses. It's just the guy had too much money, right? I go with the Terror squad. It's me, Remy, Pistol Pete. This is why I got witnesses with this one. We go in there, O.J. simpson is in the house. So Remy and Pistol start smoking blunts with him. They having the best time with OJ Was smoking. Smoking blunts with Remy and Pistol, right? Remy said she even got a picture of that, right? So I go like this. If you can murder two people, smoking blunts is easy. Yeah, you right. You absolutely. The moral to the story is when it came down to cut the cake, Happy birthday, Nicole. Joe Bentley puts the machete in OJ's in OJ s hand. And he said, you did it, nigga, you did it. And OJ start chasing him around the house with the fucking knife. Night somebody got. Y' all gotta get an animator and turn these stories. Shout out to Mr. Commodore. That's what we need. Mr. Commodore just already start. You seen the. He did. He did. Like when I robbed the gym, he played it over. He's white face with blonde hair, fat belly out. He's doing the Charlie Murphy. But listen what I'm saying. OJ Starts chasing him around the house with the knife. He said, you did it, man. You did it. The who would be the O.J. simpson of 2025 if somebody killed their wife or something like that? Who are you the talking about? Who would stop TV if they was in the white Bronco chasing them? They might have allegedly killed their wife in 2025. Who's the celebrity? Any celebrity. Any. No. Yeah, no, That's. That's murder and fame. So you think any celebrity would. Would have the TV going crazy? Yeah. So you ain't got one pick. OJ Wasn't even a big celebrity when that shit happened. He just was OJ My pick is Tiger Woods. Tiger, because you got a white girl. It Gotta be a white girl, right? To make this go crazy. And white people. Where did this come from? I thought he had a question for you. I do. Here's the question. The question is, I was setting them up. Who's the OJ of 2025? If a celebrity did some. Allegedly did some shit like that, who would every channel turn on to? But when you said. When you say that element, now, you talking about the white girl. Does it have to be that element? No, I'm just thinking about how crazy it could get Will Smith from Slap to murder. Will Smith running is crazy. Are you. Oh, no. You might. And Jazzy Jeff is driving. Jazzy Jeff is. And he got the aux cord. He's DJing while he's driving. And as he's driving. It's in West Philadelphia, born and raised. Cause I'm thinking, Tiger Wood's got the white wife. He's golf. The white people watch golfing. Cause the white people love O.J. that's what made it so crazy, right? Yeah, but it's 2025. Black men murdering white women don't have the same cachet. Yeah. Yo, yo, the views of this ain't. Yo, this is out of control. Let me tell you one of the funniest stories I ever heard. When you did the Mike Tyson Eve at the awards, and you was like, yo, you gotta take the bass out the voice. Chill, Mike. Chill, dad. Shit. I told him that story. What's that story? I don't know that story. No. One day, Mike was talking crazy to Eve. Like what? Crazy out of this world. Great. Like, picture Al. Eat your kids and I'll fuck you in your ass. Not like that. Not like that. But yeah. No, he was saying what happened. Crazy shit to him. He must have looked like a steak instead of. You know when you see. He thought he was gonna. You up. Listen. Listen to the story. Know when it's. You see something and you say something in your mind. He was doing that, but it wasn't in his mind. He was just. Whatever he was thinking, he was saying it. And me, Styles and Luch is like, somebody gotta. Somebody gotta be the crash dummy. Then we gotta hawk. Somebody gotta get their horse, and then we gonna honk them. After that, we did 21st fingers about 20 million times. Nobody wanted to take the first. Yeah, but Mike was telling that crazy shit. I want to tell you. I want to. He was saying that crazy shit to her. And we like, no, he did that to Remy when we was in his house. That's after she shot the girl. Before that's that's after she. That's before she allegedly shot the girl. He opened the door ass naked. Jerry, she can't do. You open the door ass naked. And I was like, hearing that. No, no. I said, yo, Mike. Yo, you gotta have heart to tell Mike Tyson, like, yo, my man, throw the towel on, man. Like. And I'm with some. Allegedly. You got his house, though. Yeah, I'm with some alleged. He was like, yo, Joe, you know, this is the boxes we let. Yo, my man, you gotta stop. Then we go inside. And the type of things he was telling Remy Ma, I felt pussy if I didn't like. Like, address it. Like, I had to be like, yo, Mike. Oh, that might have to be around the same time. Some horny demons. He was losing his fucking mind. Yo, I. Mike is crazy. He was like, yo, Joe, you know, he showed me a brand new Benz. It was like. Like a 500. Some brand new. Never drove. He was like, yo, you just leave her here. You got the bends, you know, the shit was crazy. Like, I was like, yo, my man, just leave her here. Yeah, that's some terrorist. Remy was looking at me. Remy's eyes looked at me. Her eyes opened so big. She was like, you better not leave me in this. This place. I think her brother was with us, too. Everybody was looking like, yo, like, we. We gonna have to, like, pound Mike Tyson. Out we get. We have no pause, no choice. We gonna have to like, it's nothing we can do. Like, he was like, yo showed us the brand new. Ben was like 150, 200.

It wasn't Young Locks. They'd be featured on there. It was a. That was a nice accomplishment. Man. Diddy should have had that nigga bulletproof, man. I know don't give a. I still say that. Biggie my favorite rapper. All I be fighting over big that's my favorite that shouldn't have been in Cali. So always look at it like that. No disrespect to nobody. Shouldn't have been in Cali. Just got killed. No, no, no. Save it for your show. What? Save it for what? I don't know. No, no. It's a good thing to talk about. What's the part that was our first time ever in la? I was with him. You was with you was. He was smiling. He was happy to be there. It's not one of them him I'm seeing all these Shits on the ground, saying shits. Puff made him go there. He wanted to be there. He was happy. He was happier than I ever seen him. Gotcha at Daddy's house over there. Little C's told us the same thing. Listen, I know you get mad. I gotta keep it right. Let me say my P.R. i got you. I got you down to the party that you see the last picture with the cane, the thing, him, Stevie J. Paul, Puff. We in there. We was mad. I don't know what son happened with Puff. We was over there, Ice Grill. We went over to him in that picture you see with the shades of the King, him shake that shit off. He told us was my single release. Whatever's going on with Diddy, we handle it when we get back home. Here goes. So Crystal or Don P, whatever was the thing. Gave us like 2 ounces. Said, go over there, Shake, smile, nigga, shake that shit off. We had my single. And that was the last shit he ever said to me. Everybody left, went to the party. Then that's when that should happen next time. What I could say to you is, but Pac passed already. Why would you have him in la? That's all I'm saying. Pac was dead already. You know, the beef is. Listen, It's a hard thing to say because I seen him. He was happy like Chris. He was. He wasn't still. They come, they want to kill that nigga was like. He was chilling. He was chilling. I understand. But I just. In my mind, when I look at hip hop we got. Cause we get to look at it it now. We get to look at being a little older now. Now we older. Nowhere near that. See, I don't agree. But when we look at it now. Yeah, you're right. I. He shouldn't have been over there. But what they're trying to say, what him and Little C said on here was he wanted to be there. It ain't like we thinking, but force the to go. They said he wanted to be there. I was negligent. I be each his own bottle of 1800. If I didn't speak to him, I seen him. He told us. What did I mean? He told me. I see it if I didn't even. Yeah, I peed with Yayo. Cause I love that. It crushed me. My first time in la. Bi shot. I still had a beeper. My mind's just beeping me. This is facts. That's crazy. I didn't even know you was there. It's all the way down full navs. But it's My mom's. Because he know you with Big. Of course. Of course. That drug. When I go down that block, when I go to that light, to this, I fucking shake. But I seen. I spoke. I was next to him. He was fucking. He was. He wasn't. He didn't seem like he was forced to be there. He was one of the happiest I actually ever seen him in life. That over there. See, the reason why I'm so passionate about it, because I look at it like, rappers are not. Took one of our fucking dances. Rappers are not superheroes no more. Now, street niggas are. Or shooters are. Or scammers are. Rappers, not superheroes. So when we came up, N was superheroes. Superheroes. Big, Ellie Bonnet, Fat Joe, Jealous ones in here. Y' all dropping. And no disrespect to Diddy, but no more shiny suits. Remember when y' all niggas went from that era to that era, it was crazy Summer Jam, Jay, with Nas. You know what I'm saying? Ether, we love the Beef. So when you look at Tupac and Big, that was like, one of the most biggest beefs we knew. I remember being by the radio and waiting for. I think Flex played it first when Big played who Shot Ya? And me, motherfuckers be like, yo, that's not a disrespect record. And I'd be like, what? In my mind, when I. I wasn't nobody. I'm coming from Jamaica Avenue, down God Brewer. And I'm like, oh. So I'm waiting near the radio to hear who shot you? And I'm like, oh, this shit is hard. Who shot you? I remember when that shit dropped. Records was exclusive. One DJ will happen. Y' all niggas will drop. Maybe one DJ or two DJs will happen. You know what I'm saying? So let's not act like in the rap game, we don't like, be. Cause just. Just now. Oh, it's been since the beginning of time. We love it. KRS won the episode. Start dying. Always been peace. That's when it is fucked up. The difference is. Let me tell you, the difference is. So you said Hip Hop Police, right? So Hip Hop Police, yeah, they want to put 50 in jail, but the bulletin board don't got 50. They got you, your best friends. Of course, you got the niggas that be with y'. All. That this, this, that. And they waiting for them to make the mistake to run that Rico. Of course, right? So you gotta understand that it's the entourage. You understand? They feel like, they're impressing you, y'. All. I'mma go pop this. You know how many times I had to talk people off the cliff? Like, guys crying for me. Like, please, he's at the club right now, Cherry Lounge. Let me let him go. I'm like, yo, bro, the whole world knows we have beef with this guy, bro. The planet Earth. If you lay him out, then that's for life. We would have been here 20 years later. Like, you know, he did it. Like, the top five greatest hip hop songs ever. Imma let you set it off. I'mma let you set it off. I hate. And yo, artists, producers, stop getting mad. We love all of y'. All. It's more than five. We don't. It's more than five. Me up popping like, yo, stop.

I don't want to infect my me making me do this. That's right. That's right. Top five biggest hip hop songs of all time. You see why this is a bad thing? Because it goes off your age. I can say five and somebody that a new. Never heard it. Yeah, but it's okay. It's not fair. It's okay. Our demographic is people I age. Real hip hop. And then we got some young kids who really want to know the real real. So the top five hip hop songs of all time. How the am I supposed to know? I don't know. But what. What. What you think when you heard it? You or you hear it and you just like, yo, this is the biggest ever. See, I'm trying to think of when since I ever first heard hip hop to now.

He said both on Drink Quick time with slime Drake or Pusha T? He said both. Pusha called me and was like, yo. It was the first time I ever heard Pusha, like, raise his voice. He was like, yo, you think 40 from Uvo would have said the same? And I'm just sitting there. So when I bring up this conversation with Pusha, I'm bringing this up in honor. I'm like, yo, that was honorable that he shared that with me. I wasn't trying to. So what I'm trying to say is when that conversation happened later on in that conversation, there was things that I brought up and I said, this is off the record. This is off the record, or this is between me and you? Because let's just talk about what we're talking about. Pusha, who was famous, called Nori, who was famous, about a producer, Pharrell, who is arguably more famous than both of us, right. About a conversation with one of the most famous people on the planet, Drake. And this all happened on Drink Champs. So I assumed that this part of the conversation wasn't off the record because we later on addressed that and said, like I said, I'm sharp from 3 to 2pm I'm the sharpest in the world. I remember this verbatim. He never said that. So if I blew that up as a man, my bad. If I blew that up. But I didn't. I didn't think I did. Like, at the end of the day, no matter what your media now, I got to tell you that. Joe, hold on. Off the record, like, I just told you about the smoke champ. You see how you just use that on me? That was some personal. You see some. Oh, man, I knew it was something weird. No, that was hard. That was hard. He did his. He did his job. He did his job. That's exactly what he's supposed to do. That's trying to get this guy to 100 million. Yeah, yeah. I never seen a guy. I'm trying to get to 100 million. Crucify me on show. No, you're doing your job. How we gonna get the 100 doing your job? Office. I'm seeing. I'm smoke trap. Drink champ. I'm trying to do all this before. So hold on. Let me finish. So let me finish. So with Pusha, like, Pusha malice, you know, I knew him since they. They called him Terry Terrence. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not terror. This is my family. So, you know, they Laughed it off. You know what I'm saying? So I sent him a text like, you know. You know, I'm coming back. You know what I'm saying? Like that type of shit. But let me. Let me. Let me make this clear. Yeah, that's my family. They got the best album right now. I still. I'm still working out to it. I was offended that he said I. I clout chased. When he said everyone, he said, you know, it's. It's album time. You know, everyone wants to clickbait. I just want to address that part. That part. I don't need clickbait. They come every month. My work is good. It speaks for itself. It speaks for itself. I don't have to clickbait. So that part I want to address, but other than that, that if I in any way, shape, form, or fashion blew up something that I wasn't supposed to blow up as a man, I apologize. That's what I'm saying. I'm a real. But I don't think I did. Now I can say to the two people that still believe I'm not Cap everybody who thinks I'm real, there's only two. I've had two. I'm up. I'm sort of cap a lot now. Captain Crumbs. Nah, you. You should be Captain Cats with, like, they me up. You not catching that. You know, you are not catching. I'm catching everything. And you. They tagging. The fuck they tag. Every time you do like this, they're like, yeah, Jada got our back. He know Joe capping. This nigga lying again. This. But for the two people, the 1% of America. I've had so many deep conversations with Nori that you can't even believe. He has never repeated. I've never repeated. I have to say with Nori. Thank you. Thank you. But what I can say is if he knew he couldn't say that, he wouldn't do that. You know, that's that. By the way, too many conversations. I want to tell. I want to say what else. Like, this was. Can we say what else? Yo, yo. Every time we try to fix something, try to rip it back open. Yeah. Yo, listen. Now's the time. Yeah. To really get this over with. One shot. Yeah. We've had 20 years and 20 years. This was. This is our deeper conversation. Like, sometimes you don't realize the relationship you have with a person. How long you know what a person. Like, I was in grinding. I was on grinding. I was on the remix, and I'm in the video. Like you said, lean back. So it's like, if it's a misunderstanding, I get it. And I get why he didn't call me me first. Because what I did was publicly. So he had to respond publicly. So that's why I'm responding publicly at, you know, I. But it's all. It's all love. But at the end of the day, that's not who. I'm not a person who chases clout. I'm a person who has integrity. I have a person who has integrity. I have morals. And I'm very, very creative. I'm too creative to bite anybody else's stick. I've always been my own style. Always. I've always stayed in my own lane. Lane. Because it's never been trafficked here. But, Nori, let me ask you. You understand, are you. Confessions before I even get to Mariah, how. What was you and the staff shout out to B. Cock Shout out to everybody? What was. What kind of zone? What did y' all set out to do? Because I. If y' all just say, yo, we about to cook up some and go diamond and take over the whole edge, every piece of the world, y' all accomplished that to the T. I don't think that's what y' all did. No, no. Well, I mean, you got. So we had 8701 first before confessions, right? And definitely. Yeah, so. So 8701. We wrote. We wrote you Got It Bad. Real. So you got it bad. The success that you Got it Bad was just like. Was the beginning of it. Like, it was like, okay, listen, we make. After. After you got a bad success, we went back in the studio for confession. The mentality was that we had to finish off what we thought you Got It Bad did, right? So Usher was talking about a song. Like, he felt like his relationship was going through this situation. He wanted it to burn out. Like, just let it burn out. I'm gonna have to go through the pain. And he was telling me this, and I couldn't really grasp what he was saying. Cause I had gone through that type of situation, but I was trying to. And I was trying to figure it out. And. And he told me this, and then he left. And I sat there for a minute. I kept thinking about it. I'm like, let it burn. Let it burn. And I kept saying, like, oh, okay. When feeling like nobody, I started trying to figure out what the words were. And then I got it. And I called him back. I said, I got it. I got it. I got the hook. So he Came back to the studio and we did let it burn first, right? We didn't let it burn first. And then he started saying he was going through this thing where he couldn't really work in Atlanta. Let's go to la. And I'm like, nah, here we go. This is the. I thought we was. This was. Everybody go through a phase. You think, you thinking he gonna block his own blessings, right? I'm like, here we go. I know I'm thinking about me because I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm like a. I want to be where I can grab all the records that I need. Any ideas, it's all in my studio, right? For me as far as being creative, I don't want to go nowhere because I know I'm gonna forget something. I'm gonna leave some more. I can't find something. Yeah, right. So he like, let's go to la. And I'm like, ah, cool. I'm going. We go, we go to Brandon's way and we get out there and my man that was with me, he was talking to me about girls and side girls and relationships and this, that and the third. And I just kept saying I. And that's all bad. Like everything you talking about is all bad. And Usher came to the studio and we started talking about some things. But then he left and all I kept remember, he was like, yo, let's come back tomorrow. And I was like, man, nah, I can't let LA beat me. I get like a writer's block. I feel like I got a writer's block basically. And you know, it's really, really bothering me. Cause I already felt like it was gonna happen when I got to la. Nothing cut you off off. That happens to me in la. I need to. I can't just go there and go straight to the studio. I gotta, I gotta cry, I gotta be. I gotta. Some gotta happen. I can't. I don't got the same fluidity in the studio in LA that I got anywhere else. And I don't know what it. I don't know what it is. It takes a while for me to get. I can't just go there and be kissed off the rip. So, yeah, I never really successfully wrote in la. Never. Me, myself never hit one out the park in la. Yeah, like, you know, I wrote there, but it wasn't. Blackout was recorded in LA on X album. This is it right here, babe. That's probably. No, he was recording out there. I'm talking about. For me, one X album is the the best I was able to. So, yeah, so I can't. I'm. I'm. I'm going through this thing and I'm struggling him. So I'm like, I told an engineer, give me a copy of the beat. Because I made. We made the beat. Me and. Because we made the beat. And I think I. I know. I know the beat, right? I just don't. I ain't got the words. I can't figure it out. And I. And. And I'm thinking about saying stuff that I don't think Usher's gonna want to say, right? So I'm thinking like, that he ain't gonna wanna do this. Cause this ain't what his life is, right? He ain't going through this. So I'm like. But that's what I wanna say. But I'm thinking like, this ain't gonna work. So I take the beat gate and I get in the car. And I'm getting in the car. I'm riding down Melrose and I'm thinking like, I. I swear I knew. I'm thinking. I'm thinking like, I ain't got the words. I can't. So I started thinking about. Usual suspect, right? Kaiser Sojay was in the. The jail. He had the words for the story. He just started looking for the words on the board and try to create the story. Story. So I'm like, I'm gonna try this. And that's what I've started doing. I'm looking at signs on Melrose. It's all kind of going, right? So I get to the light, I think on third, and the Beverly Center's in front of me. And that's when I say, every time I was in la, I was with my ex girlfriend. Every time she called me, I told him, gravy, I'm working. No, I was out doing my work. I was hand in hand in the Beverly center, like, man, not giving a damn who sees me. And I'm thinking like, oh. And I'm just grabbing this everything I see. I would have never said the Beverly sun in that song if the Beverly center wasn't me. In of front, in front of me. I'm trying to do the Kaiser Soze, right? So as I get through that verse, I'm like, I. I'm like, I got it. So my everything is everything. Everything I've been doing is all bad. I got a chick on the side with a crib in the ride I've been telling you some mineralize Ain't nothing good. It's all bad. I just want to confess. And that's where confessions came from. When me saying I just want to confess all of this that I've been doing is bad. We ain't have confessions that if I want to say said that I want to confess to you. Everything that I've been doing is bad. So it's like my time. I'm saying this is going to be the first R B record where the actually tell a girl it. Yeah. You ain't got to even ask. Yeah, I'm her. This what I'm doing. I got a crib on the side with a chick on the side with a crib on the right. I've been telling you so many lies Ain't nothing good, it's all bad. I ain't know where he's going. I just felt like day, that song feels so good to this day. Oh, bad. So that was the beginning, right? That was the beginning. I had to drive all the way to Malibu because everybody had left the studio and I couldn't record. I had to remember, I had to memorize all of this. Yeah. I had to keep going, right? So the next day it's like, we gotta hurry up and get to the studio. So I put it down. Put it down. You ain't write it down. You just kept. I'm right. I'm driving and writing in my head. I forget too much. So. So we get back, we do this, we do all bad. And then Mark pitch like. Like, what happened after, you know, after this situation? Who. What happened with the chick on the side? Then it hit me, it's like, oh, damn, she got pregnant. This is like my real life, right? The chick on the side get pregnant. I know this story. Like, I really know this story. I ain't got to write this, right? So that's when we like, okay, I'm like, this is going to be part two. And part two became these are my confessions and you. If we wouldn't ever got to that, if we wouldn't have, did we. So we did a part two of a song that never even came out. Wow. So that was part two to the part one. That was the response. Yeah. And you ain't even do the first one. Well, we did it, but it didn't come out. LA didn't put all bad on the first. He didn't put it on the album. He put it on. You know, me on the repackage. You know, you name it some big names, right? So you're saying LA Reid, you're saying Mark Pitt, who decides what comes on the album, L. A Reid on the Face. I mean, you know, at that time, Arista, you know, that was his. That's. He'd be like, I want this. I want that shot. Call him. That's his job. That's what he's doing. And that was his space. Like, la, you know, putting the albums crazy with his space. I just saw like, a. Like a old interview with R. Kelly, and he said he would do, like a hundred songs and listen to all of them and pick out the 12 on the album. Like, you know how hard that had to be. Yeah. To, like, there's probably some gems left on the floor. Right. But that's what I'm saying. Like, I never even understood why LA didn't even put both versions. He didn't want. He ain't put all bad. And I'm like, you know what's crazy is that people gonna listen to this and they're hearing the second story, they don't even know where it came from. But I couldn't figure. I. I couldn't figure out how. It was genius. Yeah, it was. Was. It was like, crazy genius. Yeah. So. So that was the beginning of Confessions, I think. Big Pun, right? You think about it, though, J.D. that's how movies they. Sometimes they make you watch the movie back. Yeah. That's a fact. Yeah. You know, Makaresh, they got a little man like you. Have you ever seen the little men like this? Come on, we have one in Jimmy. Come on, dog. Yo, I'm telling you the truth. Track. Has anybody here. Has anybody. Let me help me.
