Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment, free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

It seems like dudes are doing the corniest shit I ever seen in my life. Like, it's like, I just want to know what the fuck you getting out of this shit. Like, shit bugged out to me, man. I be like, and the social media ain't really for everybody. It's really for the youth. Unless you could adapt to that. Because I don't watch enough guys that I respect as men in real life do clown on the social media. Yeah, that you respect is real. Like, you'll be like, yo, who's some of the realest? You would mention them. Yeah, you get on social media, start doing wild corny. What you think about that? Corny from the beginning. How you gonna just start doing that? Because that's your coin. Stop. You don't recognize, like, yo, I can't do that shit, bro. You Know what I'm saying? What are you doing it for? I mean, so you know, it just be like that.

We was out there, you know, we all into these flicks and all that. And that's like. I happened to come across that flick one day. What's the. That was when. That's crazy because I was a little. And the older in. In my grandmother's projects, they was passing around that tape. So when the vcr, the VHS tape, or the Mystery of Chessbox. Yeah. So when y' all came out, that was like. It hit home, right? It was like, how they. How does tape get from Whitney Young to Charolin? Like, that's when I. I'm a little nigga. I'm like, how did they watch? Scared. Yeah. Shit was crazy. Yeah, yeah. Nah, we been. You know how the flicks used to be back in the days we ate when the flicks come on, you know, on Channel 5, like, I think it was a Saturday.

But when I look at the back of the days flicks, right? And I look at Bruce Lee, I might be crazy for this, but a lot of the ice grills, a lot of the faces he was making, he was like. And I look at rap from day one, and I wonder if he influenced the swag of hip hop from day one. Like the Grandmaster Flat, the Sugar, they all had that thing. But we was. You gotta understand. You gotta understand, Kiss. We watching that karate flick every Saturday. Bruce Lee was like a God. He was Michael Jordan. But he had the ice grills and all that. And then rappers always had a.

I don't think you niggas want the response. You know, the responses come heavy. So, you know, for the most part, I ignore everybody. But when certain individuals want to hop out and think they gonna click, I gotta give you that happened right here, ladies and gentlemen. At home, he watching the show.

Whatever the you want, you try when you're a person. I personally know of some type of stature, and you try to make a joke about me, to make me look crazy to everybody. Be careful what you wish for. Because all you guys, you all got beat up and chased everywhere. I know everything. I was there. I don't think you want this type of exposure. This ain't the one you want. And believe me, the Internet ain't gonna say it's Cap when I say that shit about y' all proceed with the positivity. 25 years, I beat people up all the time. But G back, we get the point.

You're finally releasing a sequel to Supreme Clientele or made now the right time to revisit that classic. After the violence, it was. It was like. It was the fans. It was like, you know, they kept calling for it. You know what I mean? Plus, I. You know, you gotta do. You gotta. I don't rush nothing you gotta do. You gotta be in that state of mind. Like, ah, you know what? Now's the time to dent. Especially for that, you had to get, like, a couple of beats. It's a feeling like when I do these things, it's all. Got it. You got it. Yeah, yeah. And what I noticed is, like, a lot of. A lot of our old producers, like, you know, they more so like, what's now. A lot of people looking for that old pack. They gotta give me the new pack. I want the new pack. Yeah, I want the new pack. You know? I mean, a new pack. I get it when I. When it was like that, but for this certain type of thing, it's like I got. I need. I need. I need beats that. That could just take me to. Give me a feeling. Yeah. You know what I mean? So that takes a long time because it's not like that. And plus, my mom wasn't even really on it. I'm doing other songs and albums for other people and stuff like that. So they just be like, oh, yo, 25 years is coming up. So I try to keep my mind on it every. A couple of songs. I got. I got like five songs. And I had, like, since 2000 for like 20. 20 something years. Like 23 years. But I just held it. Just held it and was like, yo, I'll save it for supreme or whatever. So by the time we got all that, you know what I mean? I fucking decided. I asked my man, like, yo, nah, put it on, put it on. But you know me, I'm a funny nigga. So it's like, you know, if it fit, it fit. If it don't, it don't. You know what I mean? So. And I just shaped it up. Whatever, whatever, whatever. And that was it. No doubt. I like doing projects, though. Yeah, like albums. I like doing albums, especially my shit, you know what I mean? So the intro was talking about the birthday party, but I was thinking about, yeah, you know, I threw a party in my house. I'm looking out the window, the party starts at five. We got two customers. My man at four year old bakery. Who made it, Marco and his girl. Six o', clock, I look out the window, two more customers, Didier and his girlfriend. My publicist. Shit look light out there. You know, Fat Joe birthday party be lit. My n. I'm like, I don't know if this ever happened to nobody. I'm looking out the window, I don't know if it's too early to come out, reveal the outfit. I'm looking around like, yo, Matthew, don't do this. Did nobody get the memo? Cause they extra set it up like hundred chairs. This, they made it too big, right? Right. And we don't really invite people to the crib like that. But the people if that we invited, by the way, by like 9, 10 o', clock. Shit was lit out of control, every chair. But I was scared, right? Like, I'm looking at a hundred chairs, I'm just. Nobody really there. Like, yo, this shit was scary as fuck. I said, yo, all we need is the pic of them saying nobody showed the Fat Joe's birthday. That shit was outta control. Wow. 9 o', clock, we start rocking. 10 o', clock, shit ran pack, we good to go. That shit, that's. That, that's. It was scary. Yeah, it was scary. It was borderline. It was like going to a show and two customers show up. Yeah. I never knew that you had. You did the Apollo. That's how it started. Yeah. You said you won, right? Yeah, four weeks in a row. Murdered it. I guess it's cat again. Yeah, I know that. Let me tell you something, yo, that's crazy though. That's why I believe in God so much, right? Because yeah, I went there. Ready? So I'm saying when I walked up in the audition, it was a hundred people there. I knew if I'm. That's the true part of delusional records that I looked at everybody like, yo, what are they even doing here? Like, you notice my shit, I'm about to tear this down. The truth is, I wasn't really a great rapper at that time, right? But I'm a real street dude. So they were seeing me get money my whole life, right? So I don't know. I thought about it one day in a hotel all these years later, I said, how did you win the Apollo? Right? And I swear to God, had to be God, because when I stepped on stage, they just went pandemonium like they never heard of bar Jay. They wasn't like, you, yo, you pussy, you, this, you name it. They didn't. I never heard a bar. I stepped out stage four times. They made me retire because I was just winning every week. I had never noticed. And they never heard a verse. They could not hear a verse. It was just. The people just. Was just going. You know, I tell them I was like, the fat lady that goes. And I am telling you, I'm not going. Like, you know, they win every week. No, I'm saying Ghost. Yeah. I came out there. I'm telling you, as my brother. Yeah. I can't even make sense of it. Yeah. Crazy. I came out. You know that dojo wasn't even out. No. That's where I met Red Alert, who asked me for a demo. Flo Jo was the demo for Red Alert. People heard it. That's how I got signed. Chris Lighty came and signed me off the Flo Jo demo promo and Red Alert would play every week and that went number one in the country. But I'm just telling you as your brother, no cap, no line. I don't know how it was, bro. I was just coming out. I gotta go back. I gotta. It's. It's up. I don't think it's there. I've been looking for it for like a documentary or something. Yeah. I can't find it. I called Ralph Camper Jr. It gotta be used to shoot it. I asked him for. Some of these guys, man, they don't let that footage go. He might want Fat Joe to die so he could put it on his shit. You know what I'm saying? Ralph Cooper Jr. No, I called him too. I hit him up. The guy who used to run the Apollo used to be the host and all that. Like, he was like, yeah, yeah, I got the footage. But he ain't never get that up. But, you know, everybody got their process. Yeah, that's radio. Hey, sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part. When you pay down those credit cards, if you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation line loan, starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online, looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100 can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt. When it weighs on you, it's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment, free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. My name is Ed. Everyone say hello Ed.

Something was there. It was just. It was just glue that was just there. So we started really, like. Like teaming up, doing these things, you know, we recognized that chemistry when we was in, before the album came out, like, I guess doing the Wu Tang album. And then it started probably around the time we was doing all that. Can it be also simple shit, you know what I mean? And. But after that shit, it was just. Yeah, it was just. It was just on. We was doing everything together, you know what I mean? So, yeah, I think that's. It just came from that. That's fire. Yeah, it's going like, got comfortable. We got kicked out of Barbados in the midst of that. That's how it happened. It was like, how the hell did y' all get kicked out of Barbados? It was like, nah, because it was like, Ray was up next. You Know how the clan was. Cause, yo, you know, at that time, everybody wanna get on. But then the clan, it's like, you had to be. You had to respect who's up next. Who's up next. So meth was first. That did not think everybody scratching at the door. Dirt. You like pits that's locked in the closet? What? Yeah. Who was dirt? Right, Right? Yeah. Yeah. So then it was like that. And that was that.

Yo, that's where we jotted all that shit down. Yeah, everything. Then we came back. We just wrote everything. Yeah. Came back and laid it. Laid it down. You know what? You know what I'm thinking, Mike? That's A beautiful story. But with guys like you, guys like you and me, you ever bumped into guys who really believe your music and was trying to impress you? Like, I had my first show in Miami. It's very similar, right. And I left the drug game to be positive and be a rap. The guys who booked me to promoter, they took me to a house. It was so much kilos of cocaine and guns in this house. It was like, yeah, Joey, crack this. They showing me all this. I'm like, yo, bro, I want to be so far away from these dudes.

Dudes got arrested doing that to me when I was going at it with 50, what they do, I was actually at like a havoc or a mob deep that has something in the city, like a listening or a party.

When y' all gotta do a tour, when y' all gotta do something that includes everybody except rest in peace, go dirty. How hard or how easy or how is that when y' all about to go on tour, work on an album, or do something that requires anybody. Now, after all these years of success and everybody got their own families and their own companies and entities, that is it still easy or is it a little bit complicated? I mean, the complicated part is coming to a conclusion. You know, Everybody got how they feel. This. Yeah, yeah. Now with that, you know me, I'm like, yo, we gotta change this outfits, man.

You got so many. You know what I mean? Sometimes you just gotta bow out. Like, you know what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not saying nothing and just do that. You know what I mean? And let them niggas do it. But. Yeah, but other than that, when we come together for the cause form Voltron. Yeah. Yeah. The end result is always beautiful. Wow. There we go. We did that, like, this year, I felt more comfortable with the shows that we did. I felt like. I felt like these days, this tour we just left was the best shits that we ever did in our life right now. The garden was magnifying. It was incredible. It was electrifying. It was nostalgic. It was incredible. I was on the side of the stage after touching the stage. Yeah. Just chill on the side and watch the rest of the show. I was like a little kid in front of the Christmas tree. Right. That's going crazy, right? Nah, but so that's. You know, we all crazy in mad years. Yeah. I see they asked you about this every interview, so I don't really need a big response. Right. But, you know, I was there with Steve Rifkin when you blacked out on high 97. Like, I was sitting next to Steve's. I was his guest. What's this? The high 97. Summer jam. Yeah, I'm there. Summer Jam. I'm in the crowd. I'm a fan. I'm in the crowd with Steve Rifkin. And when they. I was just like, that's my first Summer jam. And we get off stage and they come on there, they said, oh, God, they went crick. Yeah, we popped cherry while y' all flip. Yeah, hold on. Because. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Right? Yeah, but we went. I think we went before y'. All. And then it's something like that. I remember when we got off, I served y' all on the mic, calling everybody everything. Call them in the. Yeah, bro. Yo, son, that was the worst. We popped this cherry, son. I'm like, they was black. I said, no disrespect. I don't get high, bro. I am so focused at that shit with the shit you saying. I Already knew this is political suicide in the music industry. But one thing that taught me, right, because all these radio stations, they make you believe they are enemies. Come here. This is the new power, Yo. The mother stations is whack. It's like. But against y', all, they phone foltre. The enemies of the enemies was like, nah, nah, we ain't playing it. And they. They. Basically, the whole country was like a domino effect where they was like, yo, they violating the system. Yup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I knew this was gonna be a hard time for y'. All. Yeah. You know, I didn't know that. Everybody. Maybe Hot 97 don't play your. But Philly does this. They all form china. I never seen them. Hold on, let me hit. The Democrats and Republicans come together to the people up. I'm trying to tell you. I was. Yeah. Yo, you know, when you get on one radio station, you do the other. You. You ing Norfolk. Them, they enemies. And they formed together and said, how'd y' all fix that? You had to just wait it out. Nah. Cause y' all came back. I didn't really know. It was wild. Maybe I felt high 97. I didn't know. It was like a wildfire around the country. Everybody, it was. I thought it was hot laying there for a little while. Everybody. Yeah, it was. It was deep. It was deep. I think that was the time when it was just like, yo, y' all was up so much, like, y', all, everything. Bad boy, bad boy. And it was like, yo, we was just so down here. You know what I mean? I tried to talk to, like. Remember Tracy? Yeah, the program. Yeah. Try to talk to her. This and that and the third. She wanted to go out. She wanted to go to France and shit, man. France. Oh, shit. Yeah. She tried to take it there. She just wanted to go down south to the ring. She wasn't going to, like, you know. You know, went to France. Ghost, you might have. Should have took one for the clan. You should have went to France. Yo, man, listen, bro, it ain't happened, so. So you know what I'm saying? It was just. It's just. I don't know. I just. Just had to weigh it out. I think maybe when I got to Def Jam and they started like, all right, cool. Trying to mend a little bit of. But the rest of the clan is like, yo, we was kind of doomed. Like, then we stopped putting out music like that anyway. Like, you know, it wasn't really, like, consistent on how we had it at the top. So that's how that started, like, simmering down and shit. But we left Rage against the Machine. Like, we made it. That's what I was trying to tell you. We went. We had. Yo, like, who, who, who? How many of y' all think we should go ahead and do this or just stay over here with Rage, you know what I mean? If we would have stayed with Rage, I think they was saying 97 was like, they ain't gonna fuck with you no more. You know what I mean? So we still. I think majority of us just like, let's just go do this. We need these. And then that should happen. You know what I mean? You know, I love Hot 97 and everything they ever did for me, but they used to play a lot of political games and so that you could. You got to come up here. You got to see E. Bro before anybody. Yeah. That type. It was just pretty much kissing ass to drive me crazy, man. I'm asking the table. Yeah. I can't. They put it on you. That's the only. The label, they control everything. Except when it's that. But, you know, this guy said, you got to come see him before you go see Cosmic Cabin, right? All that. That. Yeah. Oh, my God. You know what I mean?

This dynamic episode of The Herd features Fat Joe (“Joe Crack”), Jadakiss, and the legendary Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang Clan. The conversation flows between wild personal stories, deep dives into hip hop culture and history, and exclusive insights on Ghostface Killah’s much-anticipated album, Supreme Clientele 2. The trio reflect on classic Wu-Tang moments, the evolution of rap authenticity, generational changes, the legacy of skits in hip hop, and the unbreakable chemistry between Ghostface and Raekwon.
“But it’s just like any other project… that’s where you learn how to fight at, like. Right?... after a while, you get into the drug game and… then, you know, that’s where my base was at in Stapleton, like most of my years and getting locked up and doing this, going right to Rikers…” – Ghostface (00:34:45).
“I think I had the first show with Wu-Tang ever… it was a club Muse… I performed with y’all… They give y’all $500. It was like 13 of you guys. I don’t know I was like, yo, this ain’t gonna… How we gonna make money with all these dudes?” (00:44:18)
“Nah, I never looked at it because I knew he was gonna make it… we did shit, we got paid $100 from… Bill was fake… I respect those days though, because that was our grind right there… you had to walk your dog back in those days…” (00:45:21).
“Me and Ray… just like, come from Stapleton, he from the hill... when we came around... It was just glue that was just there… It just came from that…” (01:05:35).
"Wu-Tang’s for the children. Every year I post y’all, they got some shit. Wu-Tang for President. I got some shit out there. I don’t want no smoke with the Clan." (00:14:48)
"I never looked at it [the money], because I knew he was gonna make it. No doubt, you know what I mean? I knew he was gonna make it, you know what I mean? So I seen it. I seen it like a 27 inch zenith." (00:44:59)
"It’s different now, don’t put those under the same road, bro… They trying to make us feel old…" (00:25:10)
"It’s like nine of us, ten of us, and everybody got their own shit… when we come together for the cause form Voltron… the end result is always beautiful." (01:18:25)
"If you don’t know Fat Joe, you walk in my house, it look like a Mafia. The flowers look like a Mafia." (00:07:23)
Real, brash, unapologetically funny and insightful. The hosts and Ghostface swap legendary, sometimes wild tales with genuine brotherhood, veering between classic hip hop wisdom and hilarious party tales. This is both a masterclass in hip hop storytelling and a window into a culture that shaped a generation.
