This is a long time come. We got the GOAT, we got the King of New York, and the man who got everything on his Christmas list this year. 57 and a million! Let's go! You guys ran him off his corner You probably know about it, too. We was in high school, had a couple corners, and just one day, a few dudes from Jamaica was on the corner, and it's like, I was like, ah, y'all got it. Y'all got it. Donald Trump calls that the weave, bro.

No, we've been doing all right. Things have been doing pretty good, you know? 50 Cent pulled up to the show at Madison Square Garden. Things worked out after that. Wow, that was fire. It worked out. It didn't need me then. It was so loud. I wasn't surprised. He's so low. He's so low. He's so low. like this, yeah, I'm in the right place. I know I'm in the right place, but I ain't had to do nothing. Everybody is here? Bro, it was crazy because...

I had no clue what to expect. I didn't know you guys were going to do, like, a show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it's a real show. I want to perform for you. Like, look, there's certain guys that, like, you see how you came to Human Harmony? Mm-hmm.

My relationship is a little different. If he does a favor for me, I'm going to return the favor, bro. Like, that's not going to be a point that I don't... Now, I will say, you did that even before I did anything, man. That's love. Yeah, and I'm looking at it going, nah, it's cool because I'm a fan of it.

Respect, respect. But I don't understand what got into you that made you say you was going to fuck Kendrick. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I said make sweet love. Oh, sweet love. I read the straightforward. No, no, no. Wrong way. No, it's not. You know what? I apologize, guys. Yes, let's go. This is your camera. This is from years and years of trauma. This comes from abuse from the neighborhood that I'm up in. This comes from a lot of different things.

And that makes me love. I heard fuck when you said it. It was aggressive. I don't know why I registered that way. And then look, for people to write petitions behind it. It's crazy. It's crazy. That is crazy. Because, I mean, look, you said, look, I follow comedic culture. I watch the comedians. I enjoy them on another level. You are comedians. What I appreciate about it is they are invincible.

Yeah. When I watch them, I look and I go, there's no point that you can do something that actually damages what they develop or they build. Like, you know, like they go, like... In any case, like Cat Williams can find a 15-year-old kid that is his height. And not do so well. I didn't like the decision on that one. I didn't like the decision. I didn't like the decision. That was 10-8. That was 10-8. That was close. That's one of those months where you need a do-over.

But it does no damage to Cat Williams. He's still that guy. I was watching Jamie Foxx's new piece. He mentioned Cat in it. To me, it meant that he had to be relevant enough. Oh, yeah. For Jamie to include. It was like, and I didn't know what, like, I went to laugh. Like, when Andrew's going to do something, I'm going, I'm prepared. My mind is prepared. I'm conditioned to laugh. I'm waiting for the punchline. It's going to come. And I'm usually never let down. Jamie's show...

That shit put me on a roller coaster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. He went to a place, dude. I was like, oh, man. Like, it was like my eyes was emotional. Got emotional, right? Yeah. I'm like, what is going on here? Yeah.

You were supposed to make me laugh. I'm not sure I'm prepared to be doing all of this extra feelings and stuff. I had to talk to that fool about that lesson. I'm like, what did you just do, bro? That's inappropriate. He's trying to make you cry. Yeah, he's just Atlanta. Like, he made... Everyone in Atlanta felt like they saved his life. I said, yo, this is deep. Like the show is.

Dove told me he cried. Shout out to Jamie, by the way. What a comeback. Dove told me he cried. Jamie Foxx is brilliant. No, it was real. It was intense. Is he the most talented human being? Do you know what? Watching that, it was periods of talent. that I looked at. Like, I saw him doing, like, when he did the voice piece, he does those things, and then he had the, it was almost in Living Color back when he, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he went, and he got into, um, like,

the Django things, the shows. They show periods. They show pieces of the work that's been done over his entire career. And then, like, because he was saying the clone piece, like, I'm a clone. He tied that in there crazy. He was like, yo, I don't know why I thought he was going to say more about Buffy.

Because people said that they were going to blame him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think that was great marketing. What's, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You use the puffy thing, get us all to tap in. Because it's what everybody's talking about. Exactly. And then everybody's looking going, white soul

I thought he was going to say more about, nah, I don't need that. It's about Jamie. It's not about that. That was smart. What's happening with Puffy? I know you're not really tapped in, but what? The last thing I saw was a guy there. He was like, yo, he pushed me into the truck. It really hurt. Do you think it's all possible? I was like, yo, look. I can find other things to do for money. I can find other things to do for money. I'm not sure I can say that for money.

How much? How much? How much? How much is this guy trying to get? I don't know. It's a simple suit situation, but it's like... 20 mil, I can say it. You still had to black his face out. You still had to mimic his voice, because he's like, damn. But his voice wasn't even that different. I was almost like, no, that's you, young buck. I almost knew who it was.

You know what I mean? I was like, nah. Yo, you can't say that dudes are having sex with other dudes, bro. I think that might come for you. Make sweet love. Make sweet love. That's young buck breaking right there. Make sweet love. Why is your homeboy so close to you when you come out of there? Look like you guys just made sweet love. I'm going to say sweet love instead of anything. To me, that's better because they're going to try.

to make it something else you know what i mean yeah that was smart like i You know, I didn't think about that. You know, I say things to the Florida line, like, I'm like, oh my God, you're in trouble. Like, they're all the time. Because I just say... Nah, but you got close when he offered to take you shopping. Yeah, you see, now Mika's in the same shirt. He's out there in the same shirt. Holy shit. What do you mean he's in the same shirt? He obviously was not offended by what...

I was offended by. This is what I'm saying, bro. This is some of the things that people say. Guys may say to a girl, you know, like, let me take a shot. See? Damn. They found it that quick. What do you think is happening in the middle? I don't know what's going on. Wow, they found Kendrick and Whitefish. You can't dress up Kendrick like that.

You can't dress them up like that. No, it's jokes. It's jokes. That's like the white chicks movie, bro. You can't do that. Yeah, that was comedy. That was good. You get away with white people. You know, that's obviously doing shopping. They got the same outfit. Yeah. It's true in public. That's a nice shirt. That's a nice shirt. All right, so when he said the shopping line, in real life, what did you say? I said, oh, let me get away from him.

Because it was like, he was like, yo, you hot now. Now we got to hang out now. Like, hang out, hang out. He said, I don't know, maybe I'll take you shopping and I'll get you some flash and you can give me the hood shit. And I was looking and I was like... Let me just move away from him because I'm gonna mess up the wind. I always say to myself. It was someone's wedding? It was Chris Lighty's wedding. It was in Miami. No one knows this. And I looked at him like, yo.

You heard what he just said, right? He's like, yo, certain things didn't let it go by because it's puff. Like, they would look. Like, he would say stuff, and it's like, he wasn't, like, in the closet. He was, like, in the hallway. Now you see so much shit that you gonna wait.

He was in the hallway. We saw the video. He comes out later. You're like, that's not the closet. He didn't give a fuck. You can tell that he was already... Nah, New York is dope. Because when Fab, he was like, yo, Fab, we ain't... Party, party. I was like, no, we partying tonight. He's like, no, but he didn't party. And I'm like, yo, they let that one go?

Like, I had to say something about it later, because I was like, oh, it was very good. What did it feel like all these years, you being the only one calling this out? I look like the crazy guy. I've been the crazy guy for a long time. They said that you're a hater. You're a hater. Yeah, and now everybody's complaining. My ass.

is hurting. There's all this shit that's coming. You can't make jokes about it. The internet might comfort you, bro. All I'm saying is you see it now. All of these complaints. People are damned. They were I went through years of a hater. You're a hater. You want this and that. I'm just watching. Like, I look at things and go.

When you see the new lawsuit coming with Jay, the part with Jay, I go, oh, shoot. Then I think about it, I go, that had to be there. So when I was saying that he was missing... He just wasn't actively being out there because they was dealing with that. Wait, do you think there's truth to the J thing? There's no way. I don't know. Like, if you say... I have this thing where I'm conflicted when it takes you 20 years to remember something happened to you. Yeah. Okay. I don't know. I go, oh, so...

10 years, 20 years later that it comes back. And it's like all the problems are coming from the ministers touching little boys. What do you mean? The laws are the way they are because the... Because of Catholics. Because of the priests. The priests touching little boys. Oh. Why are they looking at me, bro? I just go to church. I just go to church. I have nothing to do with this. I'm an alibi. That's why the law is allowing me to go that far back. Turn away from you right here.

I'm just a Catholic kid. He said you've been dead on me. No, no, no. What's the body of Christ taste like? It's not religious. You can't do that. He's like, yo, drink my blood. Yo. So it is crazy when after 20 years they come at that, that shit is foul. But with Puffy, you were the only one saying anything for decades. Yeah, because we had our own little thing. But you were the only, everybody else was scared.

Huh? But everybody else is scared. So you think maybe this is a similar thing? Everybody else is scared? I don't know what it is. I'm just asking. Yeah, I think they're scared. But if they're scared, then maybe that's what I'm thinking. But you've been insinuating Jay-Z a little bit. Yeah. Like, you've been saying...

people gonna come for him a little bit. No, no. He would do funny, funky stuff like the Super Bowl. Like it was not okay for me to be at the Super Bowl. Oh, he tried to cut that? Yeah, he didn't want me to. Well, it worked. to make like there was an issue with me in the NFL that doesn't exist. So he did the corporate way of trying to keep you down. Oh, it's not me, it's them. It's them. And then when Em says he's not going to do it if I'm not dead. Let's go. Yeah.

What's your and Jay's issue? It's just competitive stuff. It's really just competitive. This is what I'm saying. When it gets past actual art, like actual music, and you're trying to block something that's in business, then... It feels weird. It feels like we should be having beef.

Oh, okay. So that's the behind the scenes thing that we don't see. It's one thing when there's like people talking about each other in music, but there's behind the scenes business deals that a guy is getting involved when on the side. And it's not like you're going to go public and be like, they tried to stop my vitamin water.

Oh, this deal. And you go, he said that to you? Oh, wow. They'll speak to your temperament. Like, say, you know, 50's is a little crazy. He'll say anything. You see what saying anything did to Kanye. So he's basically trying to scare people out of doing deals with you. Interesting. And then Em shut it down, and he was like, yo, it's got to happen. If he's not coming, I'm not coming. And then it changes the whole thing, because he really is the biggest one.

Yeah. Like, you know, they can say what they want. Yeah, I know. But when we go to the stats, the actual numbers don't lie. They know the numbers. And I was before the days of the bots and all that shit. There's a, there's a, you know, Em obviously speaks with you with high praise, but there's a, there's a few videos.

that I see, and everybody talks about how funny you are, they talk about, obviously the album's all the success, but Eminem specifically talks about your rapping skill a lot. Does that mean a lot? It does. He never left that part of the creativity. Like, he would go back. When you don't see him, he's back. He's in his regimen of the studio. Yeah, yeah. And this is why, like, he kind of...

They can't. You can be as good as him, but you can't really beat him at that. Because you have to put all your energy there. And you're just not going to do it. Once these guys get famous, they leave the studio. And the thing that makes him feel good is he... Yo, you heard what I did last... And it gives him that again. So if that's really what's driving you, it's really tough to be better than that. And some of them may have a gift.

It may be a God-given talent that they can rap the way we speak. But... They don't work as hard as them. It's like Kobe Bryant was outperforming people because he would work harder, conditioning himself to do it. And other than him, I don't think nobody is. Who's the most talented rapper you've seen?

Period. Just talent, natural born. This, well, maybe Craig G. Like when an artist can freestyle without thinking about anything and it just all falls in line and sings. Sometimes they can end up rapping so... It's so easy for them that they don't know exactly what to rap about.

You see what I'm saying? Technically, it's good. Even Eminem, because I remember those freestyles where they would just give him a word and he just has to go and go and go. She can do that, too. She can go. But you're right. Sometimes you miss the connectivity with the music. Their songs...

There's comedy where it might not even be like the most perfect joke, but it makes you feel the thing. And that's better to you. That it connects. And a lot of times, if there's no truth to it, it's not funny. It has to have some sort of connection. It's grounded in truth. But it's almost a warped perspective being offered by the comedian. The timing, the way it comes in. And I look at it, I'm like, yo, nah, it's good.

Yeah. That's great. Like, you know, and you see things like the white party be there and then they have a little baby like in a sandwich. They're hugging him for the front and the back. And I'm like, yo, get off of him. That's one of my favorite new artists. Get off of him. I don't want him going to those car parks. What's up with the hugging pictures at the white party, though? What is that? I don't know, bro. picture is a little bit... Why is everyone so happy to be there?

I'm like, this is regular parties. People don't just hug each other. You had to sit in four hours of traffic. Come on, let's have a group hug. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to shake your hand. Hey, what's up, man? It does feel controlled. Yo, hold on, baby. That's crazy.

I'm telling you, it was too much fun. That's crazy. It was a little too much fun. That's just white boy shit. That's why it's the white party. It was the whitest party. Nah, I was too happy to have it. Too happy to have it. What is going on in the one in the right? That is insanity.

Both of them, he looks like he's unzipping his pants. Look at the one on the wall. Come on. This is bad. Yeah. This is bad. Do you call him? Will you call him and be like, yo, listen, you're brilliantly talented? No, I'll wait till I see them, but I'll go to them. And you go, I go to them and I go, yo, come here. I'm like, what happened? I asked him because I'm like, you know, I'm a fan of the new artist. I watch him and I'm like, yo, he got, he got.

The it factor. Like, he got that thing, Lil Baby. I like him. Guys, quick tour announcements. Hawaii, I'll see you guys in a couple weeks, man. Mark and I will see you guys out there. And Dove's coming out. The Boy's coming out. Vala's coming out.

And, you know, you never know who's going to come out in Hawaii as well. So we will see you guys at that show, Blidesdale Arena. Can't wait. That is the final show of the Life Tour until somebody says they'll give me an extreme amount of money to do it again.

So this will be the final show, man. We got to go out with a bang in the amazing state of Hawaii. Love you. Appreciate you. See you guys there. Peace. All right, Tucky Cuck Boys. It's daytime. I'm taking the rest of this year off, but I'm back in January. January. Ninth through 11th, I'm going to be in Tampa. Indians are already scooping up those tickets.

Quickly, so you better hurry up and buy. Also, January 23rd through 25th, I'm going to be in Sacramento. I promise you those tickets will sell out. I am not bullshitting you. Those tickets will sell out, so hurry up and buy those. January 31st and February 1st, I'm going to be in West Des Moines.

Iowa. I don't know if anybody's buying those tickets. I don't know where the fuck Des Moines is, to be honest with you. I barely know where Iowa is. Is it the Midwest? Is it Western? I don't know. I don't think it's near Pennsylvania.

I know that, but I'm excited to go. My travel agent, Sudeep Shah, Travel King, will book the ticket for me. I got no fucking clue what direction that plane will be going in, but I'll be there. Also, February 21st through 22nd, Brea, we had to reschedule shows from earlier.

out February 21st and 22nd. February 27th through March 1st, I'll be at Zany's in Nashville. Those shows will also sell out, guys. Buy tickets. Your boy's selling out now. That's just what it is. AkashSing.com. Look how cute my eyes are on their website. Buy your tickets. Let's get the fuck out of here.

to happen where, like, the people you beef with, because this is what I always say, 50 don't fuck with you, I don't fuck with you, I don't know why yet. We gotta wait and see. That's what I always say to everybody. If you don't fuck with you, you got a reason, we gonna figure it out sooner or later. Do you think that's starting to come true?

fruition like the public is starting to realize oh maybe he doesn't fuck with these people because of this lifestyle stuff thing that they're doing is not because that was also the harness influence What you mean? Like the parties and everything with Puff. It's the hardest influence to get people there. And then, you know what I'm not saying? So now he got you. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, because you were all the way out of the pocket, right? Everybody didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Now you got to be cool now. Don't ever go against this. So they're blackmailing with like a booty. Yeah, that was low. That was weird. That was weird. They did not run through Bieber at that point. They was pressing him like, why you not answering your phone? Like, yo.

Like, I don't got a video of me fingering you. Oh, he was an answer for a reason. Because you did things to me. Fuck. Yeah, but that's the... You know, you can see how it kind of levered. I guess it's the same thing with Epstein, right? What else would you do? Oh, 100%.

But you've never wanted to be like in the in-group. I've never seen your entire career. I've been out of the in-group before I got here, right? I was already kicked. I was already had relationships with Ja and all these other people. So there was already connect, like what we would call the artist community, was already connected to that. So I just came and was creating my own bubble. Yeah, you were a disruptor. And I wanted to just help other artists that I...

signed to the label I felt had something to build them up at different points. And then it was like, it was a period that Jay retired. He retired and went to go work at Def Jam. And then he did the slickest thing I ever experienced. Because where we're from, you're as strong as the crew that you built. So you look out for your people. And then he didn't build the crew, but he went and took Def Jam's crew. Acquired the crew. So he went, and then he came back with him, Beyoncé, Rihanna.

Yeah, but he still has people around him. He still got like Tata and a few of them. And that's just the real crew in my mind. Alex will ride for Jay-Z no matter what. Oh, yeah. I'm a huge Jay-Z fan, but I'm also a huge fan. I'm a New Yorker, so... He might be a little thing if you didn't run him off his corner. Yeah, if you didn't run him off his corner, he'd probably be all luck. Nah, you saved my life. I probably would have...

Hold on, I always want to talk to you about this. When we were in Boston, we got to talk a little bit, but I want to know the beginning. What's always impressed me about you is this understanding of the human condition. You understand people, you understand what they're afraid of, and not always fear of their life, fear of shame, fear of public perception. And the first thing I asked you, I was like, I just need to understand. At what age are you starting to figure this out? Oh, that was...

It's younger for me, like 12, 13 years old. You said 12, 13. Yeah. You were starting to even put together your own crew. Yeah. Because the West Ham didn't have requirements. The neighborhood didn't have an age limit. How much of it can you sell? So who are you getting it from at that time?

Who's your connect? I would be watching the structure that was around early on. So it was like a lot of the guys that they see our beef with, they were part of the influences early on, like the Supreme team, different dudes that those different areas.

they would all be there and we kind of see how things, things didn't just happen randomly. Right, right, right. So you told me this interesting thing that was cool. You were leading your crew. You're young. Some of these guys are older than you. Yeah. How old are you? This is teens. 13, 14. Oh, fuck. And then you said you got locked up. You went to juvie. Yeah. I was in a spa fit, like a juvenile detention center. And then you said when you came out, you weren't...

like the top of the... Your role wasn't the top, but you still needed them to respect you. Right, so I wouldn't... What's the name? I wouldn't... When you're talking about this, when I got back from shop, I had done a boot camp six months in a...

The military bouquet. I've done therapeutics. God grant me the sovereignty to accept the things I cannot change. The character changed the things again. There wasn't no difference. Hi, my name's Curtis Jackson. I'm at it. Wow, you still got it. You don't forget those things. Especially when you haven't been fucked up by drugs already.

This is something they would do every night at house meetings. You'd come in, and they would all go through the cardinal rules and things, and they would read that off. It's the serenity prayer. And I would go through that, KSAC, all the different therapeutic things.

projects that avoiding longer jail synthesis yeah uh because if you go through all these things then you don't end up like you don't spend as much time so then the um you know from that you kind of become a little more observant of people like in those facilities they like drop slips to tell they start to tell on you what do you mean like you just came out of jail and now that you're in the shock program in the military boot camp side they're like

He skipped steps. He did this, he did that. And you, like, receive punishments in exchange for those different things. And I wasn't adjusting well. I had plans to sell drugs when I got home again. Who's telling on me? They would do things to turn an entire platoon against you because they'd go... Okay, everybody drop, and they have you just there. So now everybody's... Smoke breaks over, drop. And they're doing push-ups now, and you're just standing there chilling with your cigarette, like...

You know what I mean? Then everybody's kind of looking to you do something wrong and watch. And it starts to, you know, do different things. I would do things like I would volunteer to work in the kitchen. Okay. Well, my platoon had the detail, and then I would, like, sit next to, like, the beats, like, the worst shit that people don't want.

You can't talk when you come into this. So you come in, they go, pop, they go into pro-A wrestling, they go to the position of tension, and then they move up. So the mess hall is really quiet, and they come through, and then you got to use your hand like this, this, or this. You know, do you want to...

a little bit, medium, or a lot. Like a Diddy party. Yes. A little bit, a little bit. How much baby oil? So they would do that, and I would wait for them to come, and I would put the, like, like coffee cake next to the beats. And I know you want the coffee cake, but when I didn't like it, I'd just give you beats. This is interesting. You're managing leverage at this point. At that point, yeah.

I'm just going, I know that they want, this is the only sweets that they're giving us. So they're going to want that. And then I put the piece next to it. I go in the kitchen and I get back. You dropped a slip on me. I'm not saying I'm just, because if you don't eat it, they're going to make you wear it.

Oh, wow. So now you've got to eat these shitty beats with this coffee cake. Oh, they're going to put the shit all over there. They're going to fuck up your whole coffee spirit, coffee cake experience. They're going to eat these fucking nasty ass beats that they play in. Yes, fuck you. Since you want to put me in slip and drop slip shit.

shit. And I'll find ways to do shit back to them without doing anything back to them. Okay, so you're doing shit back to them, but you're also getting them to do what you want. So you understand there's a leverage play. In every situation. So you leave the camp, you come back. How do you signal to your team?

Like, you told me this great story of how, like, you weren't making that much money, but you were giving it all to them, so they knew that you were still the top. Yeah, yeah, because I would, we would go in, and when we was back, they would give, give, like, $1,100. So it's like four people in there. And I'm in there. But everybody in here used to work for me. So I can't take this $1,100.

So I'm saying 20, 20, 20. No, I don't care about that. Let's just do this like this. So it kept them still viewing me as the boss. Because if you're making the same money as them, they're going to start to view you as... We're the same. Yeah. So you're sacrificing. You're not making anything so that they know that you're still... I would tell them, just put two grams on the side, each one of the bags, all your bags thing up, and then...

If we need it, we go to that. And anything that was left over, I just would take the whole left over. You know what I'm saying? But I wouldn't take the money that they knew. So then when they tried to get them to go back up without me, they'd be like, no, we're boo-boo. Yeah. They don't know they get more if I'm there. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And then they're going, well, yeah, yeah, I'm coming with boo-boo. Why do you keep asking for boo-boo?

So is people's loyalty usually tied to self-preservation? Absolutely. Even in the jail thing, it was just like, I want that sugar. I want that coffee cake. I got to be nice to this guy or else I'm not going to get that thing. Bagging up, it's, hey, I want to make more money. I'm making more money when I'm with him. Because when it's there, he better. It's always better when he's there. Like, they're looking and they go, nah. Then it took, even in that, when that had accumulated the work.

Then it came back, and there was a dude, and there was Rodell. And then they would, it came, Rob was like, yo, the DA looking for Bob. I said, oh, my name's Curtis. That means he's not looking for me, buddy. All right, so they ran out of town. And they thought there was no work there for weeks. There was no work there for like a few hours, like two hours. And then you were able to get something else going? Oh, I just changed the tops. I just changed the capsules, put them right back up.

Wow. Two hours later, he came back. By the time he came back, I was strapped. Same type of corner thing. We weren't as sophisticated. We did what we did. So, okay, so you're doing this thing, and again, I don't want to incriminate, so if I am doing that, you... Stop me, but like, how do you...

How do you escalate? How do you grow the business? You're an entrepreneur at this time. I'm sure you're looking at this, you go, okay, do I get more territory? Do I sell more people? Do I get it for a cheaper price? What is going through your mind? How do you scale being a job? You just move faster. You move more faster. Yeah. So if you get bigger, the pieces got bigger. I was giving away more drugs for the money, but the clientele was drawing it off the other corners. Oh.

So it was like they were pulling everybody to that corner because it was so much more. They were getting more for their money. And it's like. So you're giving better deals. And expanding. Expanding. You got to open a franchise. Yeah, you're like Amazon for crack. Yeah. That's the vibe. Amazon is a great model to look at because you see that they'll curate the sales. Then after they get the sales, they say, give me a deal to FedEx and to UPS. And then when they don't.

give them the deal they want, they just say, okay, we deliver it ourselves. Because we've got all of the transactions. Because loyalty is leverage. Interesting. Okay, how to rob. I grew up in New York City. I remember the disruption of How to Rob. It was the first disruptive, in my opinion, it was like the first disruptive rap record.

I'm going to connect it to something very weird, but do you remember the Blair Witch Project, that movie that came out, where we didn't know if it was a real project or not, right? And you had to go to the movie theater because you're like, this is so fucking different. I've never... No, it's crazy. Yeah, and it was like, it wasn't very...

expensive black witch neither yeah and that was part of the charm because you're like yo it might be that's what i felt how to rob was the energy was like what the fuck is going on in the culture it was almost taboo for you to say someone's name Yeah. And you said, everybody gets these jokes, though. That's awesome. Everybody gets these jokes, though. But you came with How to Rob, that was after you got dropped, right? Yeah. How to Rob, that happened.

So wait, you get shot first, then dropped, then How to Rob. No, no, How to Rob came before I got shot and dropped. Oh, I thought you got shot. With How to Rob, I was approaching the release date, and Columbia was dead serious. Just throw it out. You know, and that was desperation. It was. Desperation for what? What was it? If I didn't do something, it commanded attention.

it would come out without any attention surrounding it. And you didn't want that to flop? You didn't want that? No, I'm subjected to the same thing. If that worst scenario came from me saying people's names, it would be exactly what I'm subjected to in Southside, Jamaica Queen.

You see what I'm saying? There's no greater risk. I could already get shot. So if I say everybody's name, I got that same. Oh, wow. If it doesn't work, then I go home to that. And that's there. That's what's going to be there. That's a great risk calculation. I'm already afraid.

that. I'm already dealing with that. Subjected to it regardless. And then you're going, okay, so if this doesn't work, then so I got to take the shot that makes everybody see or notice that I'm here. When did you know that it was bubbling? Nas. Nas was like, because Nas came, he was like, yo, that was kind of crazy, yo. That kind of felt like when I came. Like, you know, like how it coached me. And then it was like,

He took me on tour, right? I am. Wait, so Nas stepped up. And what do you think? That was like a Queens thing or did you guys have connection before that? A part of Queens thing because that was a part of it. But he didn't have to. He didn't have to do that. and also he's getting enemies by

cosign you. That's a brave thing. No, it was too early. There was no enemies. It wasn't there yet. He was looking at it like it was disruptive. It was an ill move. You did dis-naz a few years later. You have to understand this. You have to understand this. He has a reason for everything. I'm here to clear up your misunderstanding. You do have to understand. It's funny because it ties into shit even to now, right? You go...

It was just yesterday. I was just seeing it. They're saying a dope person that was there to witness this thing in the Diddy case, the law school. Oh, yeah. It was Jennifer. The female that they said was that When you say this allegedly Amanda Thank you. Man is working overtime. The Jewish anxiety corner in this room is percolating right now.

It brought up Jennifer because, like, Nas was kind of like, he took us on the road, on the road, so he kind of knew our temperament. If you ask him, he'll tell you that, he said, I thought they was just going to jail. Like, because... was actively in it. Like, he was the smarter part of the experience. Like, the rest of the crew was like, I was at home with them.

There was Queensbridge, Jungle Ways, Lord, everybody that was there was like, horse, it was all comfortable for me to be around them. So when we was out, there was always that energy that was like... We was in different neighborhoods, but the energy that's in our neighborhood was there. A different version of it. And I was comfortable with being in altercations or popping, so I was like, what?

Because the fight just, you know what? Boxing does that to you. It takes the emotion out of the fight. Because you fight so often, you start just being like, what? It's like sparring. Most of the time when you get into it with a fighter, you know because he punched you already. You know what I'm saying? You don't see him rocking back and forth. Extra emotional. Nah, in the street. He just fights you.

Start the fight. All the guys who's like trying to take the shit off and square it out. You know they don't want to fight. Hold on a moment. Hold on a moment. Trying to find a way out of this shit. Hold on. This shit is sweet. I don't even make it to that part. I'm gone. I'm not getting in a fucking fight. Are you kidding me? He says, are you kidding me? There's going to be no fight. You ever know how people feel tough just because they're around you? I'm not even one of them.

And in lifestyle, you know, the funniest, the who kid would do that, right? The who kid would come, he'd go, yo, we see you punting him. I ran out the back. I did this. I said, you ran? Are you pussy? Yes. That was the first time I ever had a conversation with someone and they said. Yes. And I looked at it, and I was like, yo.

Nah, nah, it's cool. We need him to play the music. We're not going to react to nothing that comes from him because we know that he has this temper. That's fine. It's actually better that he told me than to pretend to be something you're not. expectation for him to rumble and then he's not getting after it. I'm like, listen, you go, I'm perfect. Expect me to do what someone you think is supposed to do in the event that there's an altercation. Exactly, I'm 5'7". And you go like that, yes.

The first thing you do something wrong, 9-1-1. 9-fucking-1-1. Come get this motherfucker and hit me. Don't act like you didn't hit me, you hit me. He's lying, officer. I will see you in court. It's odd when you see people that

portray lifestyle a certain way, do it. I agree. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People trying to get tough with me and I told them that I'm calling, I'm calling Uncle Donald to look at their taxes. I'd say, if anybody gets tough with me, I told Uncle Donald I'd call, you better make sure. you're not writing off everything. We don't look at the write-offs. We're looking at the write-offs. This is not right.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Those are different alphabet boys, right? Yeah. We got CIA. Yeah. SEC. All of that. All of that. done a record with jennifer because she's really why i recorded with puff she told because she was on every bad thing starts with her Yes. No. No. That was a good take. I was fucked up, bro. Free shine, though. Free shine, though. This is the very beginning. God damn. Free shine, bro.

At that point, it was good. She was on the 6th with Corey Rooney and we were working, Tommy Mottola. Shout out Tommy, man. Yeah, that whole Columbia regime over there, we was working together, and then Jennifer was telling him he should work with me. He's, like, really talented. And I started to write little things for Puff and stuff like that. And then after a while, and then...

After I worked, we did a couple things together. She called and they had a record. It was Jennifer's record, so I wrote to the record. And Irving found out that I had done the record. This is how... Look, they've done things to block me. I haven't blocked them. I haven't told the DJ, don't play a record or don't.

Irv is Irv Gotti. Irv Gotti. You can tell now they've admitted it over the time. And that J-Lo record would have been a big look for you because you wasn't 50 yet. What they did was use me against me. They went until time and I'm like, why y'all doing...

business with this guy. Like, this guy's like what he says on these records. Like, what happens when he flips off Jennifer? Oh, so they scared him. Scared him off for the record show to end up, like, put Nas, put Nas. This is why even Jay was angry. out of...

because he was saying, put Nas on the record. Oh, and Jay and Nas were beefing at the time. Well, he just won. Oh, wow. He was right after either. Well, who won that one to you? Nas won. Easy. Why do we not remember that? Because, no, no, he just, look. It depends which records we use. But nobody calls damn you really took them over Whose best

to the actual, like, the fans' perception of the artist. Because if they're really passionate about you, then you are the best. He left Rockefeller after that. Yeah. He said, y'all Rocko, we Rocko's, y'all Rock fellas. And he's like, I think I got to buy Def Jam. I need a new label. Yeah, but he could have sued Drake. He didn't sue.

Yeah, we'll finish the Jennifer thing, and then I want to ask you about the Drake thing. She had a call, we did the record, and then I'm like in the car. I'm like, yo, when I see that, they say a new Nas, Jennifer Lopez. Oh, Nas. The song comes on, and it's Nas. And, like, he didn't call early on. Like, he had some issues with his old lady, his baby mother at the time. Yeah, we heard about that.

While I was there, she kind of wanted to do the same thing to Mega. He wanted to do the same thing to what? To what Mega? Oh, he was doing that to Cormega? Well, he wanted to. Oh. You know, and he had called me Mad Times because I could get in contact with the girl Holly that he was dealing with at the time. Oh, yeah, yeah. And they were so, I spoke to Mad Times when it was for that, but then when he came to tell me about the record, he didn't call me the same way.

So I felt that's how I was feeling. You felt a lack of loyalty. You felt. Right. Just at that point. And I do like, I love Nas. Yeah. He didn't have to take me on that tour. I just seen him in guitar. Yeah. He's out there. And I'm like, yo. I was able to see him because he was that before we figured out how to do it. Interesting. I was not a good rapper at the point. No, I was just on fire.

I was still working at Becoming Good as an artist. And it took everything that I went through to get me to the point that I was at, or Get Rich or Die Try. You know what I mean? Or it's like, you gotta look and say, the universal theme that... work the best for hip-hop artists is life and death. Oh, the biggie? Yeah. Biggie, Ready to Die, Life After Death, Tupac, Machiavelli. These are all life and death. Ah. Yeah.

records you know i mean so when i say when i add a little bit of aspiration to it i say get rich or die trying oh that's great i mean it's We were just listening to it. I'm sure all you guys, I was listening to it, you know, coming. And the energy is absolutely crazy. But it also, like, I remember, is that the biggest debut of an artist? Yeah, the biggest, the largest.

debut in hip-hop album. Wow. It was because I got bumped around. I would have came out of Columbia and been like, boop. Oh, that's right. So everybody knew about you. You're percolating. There's the heat. You're hearing about all the drama. You're getting better at rap. I get shot up. I'm getting better at this any time. And then by the time I come back and...

I just didn't switch the narrative. See, look, if they go like this, they go, a lot of times we hear people say something and it's dope. And you go, you look and go, is he really like that? Like, is the artist really like living that lifestyle? And... The part where it breaks is he's not. Yeah, I don't know if you can tell. I grew up in the suburbs. And that was... This is right here. And that was... That was the thing that everybody was going crazy about. This guy, all the...

Rappers that talk all this shit, this guy did. And they were like, they were so romanticized by it or whatever. It was like, yo, this is it. No, it's still here. It's still NBA young boy dirt. Yeah. Area in our culture and hip hop. Like Kendrick, that part has been there too. It was just conscious rappers. It was like Common Sense was most deaf. It was Talib Kweli. I used to love that. They were smarter rappers.

Your hit record is Sit Down, Be Humble? That's fucking smart shit to make a hit record out of it? Yeah. Okay. What age group is it inappropriate to not like what he just said?

None. None. Oh, wow. So you can reach the masses if you're being a little bit more. When it connects, when it's done properly. It's just harder to connect. It is harder to do it that way, from my perspective. Yeah. Quick question about the Nas Jalo thing. He knew you were going to do that track and still didn't call you? Or do you think maybe he just didn't? I don't think it...

He was aware of it, but they did that. Right, right, right. On his behalf. You see what I'm saying? They said, no, no, no. They did that. And then shifted for him to rap on the record. And then when that happens, and I'm like, damn, why you didn't call me to just say that it was, that it... I'm not on the record. He's on the record. Yeah. Do you think he knew that you were on the record already? Because maybe he didn't know. You're supposed to be on it. I think, yeah.

Oh, he knew. They took him off the record. Yeah, okay. All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second. Listen, we got to talk about how the NFL is trying to steal Christmas. Yeah, I love it, dude. They are really grinching it up. They're trying to steal Christmas from the NBA. NBA always had Christmas locked down. That was their day. That was their day. Yeah.

And the NFL is like, nah, we got it. 50 Cent with Alex. That's my corner now. They really try to take that corner. Wow. So, we got a couple games. Good games, I think. You like these? I think good games. Steelers, Chiefs. Steelers, Chiefs. The Chiefs, every fucking game they play.

play is close and the Steelers are good so the Steelers could win I guess you still bet on the Chiefs just because they keep winning yeah but uh I don't know what the spread is but Ravens Texans I don't trust the Texans I hate to say that as someone from Texas but I just don't trust them

So you think Ravens got it? I think the Ravens got it. They haven't been amazing this year, but I trust them more than I trust the Texans. Going back to the series real quick, Tomlin is so funny. I know I'm probably referencing the video poorly, but one of my favorite things about the mic'd up situations...

is when a player is acting different than normal and the other players realize he's mic'd up. So he'll be like in the locker room and be like, all right, guys, let's go. And they'll be like, oh, you mic'd up. All right. Usually scrolling TikTok with us.

But I hear you're going to be a teammate right now. That's funny. Yeah, Mike Tomlin called somebody out on the way back to the locker room. He was like, oh, you mic'd up. You don't talk like this. Yeah, there's some shit like that after the game. Who was the guy the coach was like, hey, you're about to hit your record for rushing or some shit?

Fuck, who was that? You saw this? Yeah. I can put you in. You can get it or you want the other guys? He goes, let the young guys eat. Oh, it was. Saquon Barkley was the running back. Is that what it was? Oh, it was a rushing record for a single game. Yeah. Nick Sirianni was the coach. Pretty cool. It's awesome. Yeah, Saquon said, let the young boys eat. Oh, yeah. Now, who was mic'd up, Sirianni or Saquon?

I think Sirianni was mic'd up. That's far. Sirianni was mic'd up. That's far. Oh, Saquon was mic'd up. Okay. So there you go. Cool. Yeah, that's far. But also like you already got the game in a bag. your job is incredibly dangerous. Yeah. Why go out there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck the single game record. You could go for the season. Also, Saquon hasn't been this healthy in years. Normally he gets hurt. Yeah.

Yeah, and I hate the Eagles. Yeah, you want to go get hit in the head? You're like, I'll just sit on the bench. Let the young guys get concussed. Yeah, that's what he meant to say. Okay, and then the Ravens, you think, got it? I think the Ravens got it. I think they'll figure it out.

Is there a storyline you like this year in football? Is there something you find really- Detroit and Buffalo. Interesting. Yeah, I think those are, it's like, we finally could see one of these cities win a Super Bowl. And I think that would be so fucking cool. It's like a fun redemption story. Yeah, man. Buffalo, the most loyal fans. Detroit been getting shit on for decades in every possible way. Yeah.

And if either one of them got a Super Bowl, it would be so sick. So I'm hoping that happens. I don't think Detroit's ever even bent. Detroit's never been. I just mean it's a city. The city is just L after L, honestly. And Detroit's a good city. You ever go to Detroit? Yeah, it's cool. It's a cool city. It's actually coming up a little bit. Yeah, I think it's a good, yeah.

But I think that would, those are the storylines I'm most interested in. Russell Wilson's like kind of back. He's like kind of playing well. We thought he was cooked, cooked. Yeah. What do you think changed there? I don't know. I think Pittsburgh has a good enough supporting cast that it doesn't really matter. to be serviceable and he's been better than that. But also Denver, a lot of people were saying Sean Payton, who coached Russell Wilson last year, he was the problem.

But now they're kind of winning with a rookie quarterback. So, like, he's kind of redeemed himself a little bit. So there's a lot of redemption going on for everybody except the Cowboys, which is cool. Well, how about your Chiefs, though, using the dark magic to always win? The Chiefs look very vulnerable.

this year, even though they're 11-1. I know that sounds crazy. Maybe 12-1, whatever they are. 12-1. Sounds crazy, but they are, I think, 10 straight one-score games they've won. And at some point, you would think that has to give. I know they got... Patrick Mahomes. But at some point, you think that has to give.

You think? Because they're struggling to beat losing teams in one score game. The Raiders, the Panthers. I don't trust them as much as I do the Bills right now, even though the Bills lost against the Rams last week. I just still think they are a better team, a stronger team.

But I could be wrong. Mark is so much better at our steak segments after he does a show with Joey Avery. He hangs out with Joey Avery and he gets all the insights. Robin absorbing some shit. This football thing is crazy, dude. Shout out Joey, man. What up, Joey? I love Joey. That's funny. I know about football on Christmas is Beyonce's performance. Yeah.

Yo, if you're going to bet this Christmas, you're going to do it with Steak. Steak is the leader in global betting and U.S. social casinos. Bet on top sports and political events. And use the promo code FLAGRANT for your welcome bonus. Now let's get back to the show. Can I ask you about this second? biggest beef in rap right now which is drake and kendrick

What do you think about that? What's the first? What's the first? I don't know. There's probably something else going on. But I know that the second one that people used to be talking about. What do you think the loss? is really about. I thought it was about stopping the damage that the Super Bowl would do. Because the Super Bowl... Now, in my opinion, I don't think that the NFL would let... Kendrick say certified pedophiles out loud? I think that they would be part of the damages.

After that, you know you're the largest sports event that everyone is on. People watch football who don't watch football. Everybody gonna watch it. Super Bowl. Yeah. And when... That record just, that is the record. You can't not play it, but you can't say, you can't have lines talking about pedophilia in the song that the whole world is watching. Now look at this look. Pedophilia. Look, this is such a proper diss. This is not saying anything that would have to be bleeped.

You see what I'm saying? It's not a cuss word. Isn't that crazy that words are worse than the most heinous act ever? If you properly scientifically say the most heinous act ever, they're like, oh, it's fine. It's fine. Don't say shit, though. Don't say shit. FCC. But the way... It not being true doesn't matter. In hip-hop, it didn't matter to this point. The things that they said were...

about me were true at that point. But there gotta be enough, not proof, but like some smoke around it. If there's any smoke around it, we'll buy it. Faith and Biggie, or sorry, Faith and Pac, there's some picture of them together. So if he says I fucked her, we all see that. One picture, this only-

need as fans. One picture. And we're like, fuck that girl. That's all we need as fans. We're just ready to buy in. That's it. They're ready to hate on Drake. Yes. You're always ready to hate on who's on top. And now Kendrick, if Kendra's on top. There's going to be people ready to hate on him, and he's never been in that position. He's always been an underdog. But he's been a media darling. Yeah.

Because he's not number one. But Kendrick got trophies I didn't even know that they had. Which one? A bullet song. What the fuck? Sit down. This is what they would like hip hop culture to be. Oh, what do you mean by that? Like, look at the themes. Good Kid, Bad City. You know what I mean? It's coming out of the environment and being that talented. So they would like it to be that, and it'd be... Less scary and dangerous.

less aggressive, less parts of the environment. Because you can sell it to more people. Right. You can sell it to way more people. Because I never seen, I didn't even know what that was. When he got that one, I was like, whoa, what's that? Like, I seen... Look, when Jay signed his contract, the big one was with Beyonce. When he signed that contract, the marriage contract, he got trophies.

Now, those fucking trophies came rolling in, buddy. He started getting Grammys left and right, man. Have you looked at his career? Have you looked at his career? Oh, wow. Oh, wow. You're going to let him say that? He had one. Exactly. He had one. And he didn't show up. He had like 20 now. He had like 18 since he been down. He had one, bro. Hard knock life. You're not wrong. Wait a minute. So you're saying the success is derived from the marriage.

I've absolutely been treated differently. The accolades. Because he's no longer viewed as what, like a street or gangster rapper. Now he's viewed as a businessman, entrepreneur, family man. And the biggest ones because of the position Beyonce's. Oh, wow. You were connected to the biggest. Jay got it for the music. Jay got it for the music. He deserved those. He was sitting there, he was like this.

Black excellence, they're sitting there like, yeah, yeah. It's the Bayonair Brunch. Oh, I hate you, man. I don't know if anything going on here. This is the one time I'm going to be with you niggas this year. Come on, bro. He's just looking at his watch during the whole Roc Nation play. Is it 3.30? What the fuck is that? I feel like I'm normal again. Get me out of here. Oh, wow. So that's the deal he signed. Yeah, that's the deal. The other ones didn't count as much as that one did.

Oh, yeah, before I forget this, we talked about Jay. Proximity to Diddy. You don't think he knew anything? He's seemingly around. Relax. That was a real suburb question. I know, right? Proximity. Proximity. That's the SAT hit parade word. Proximity. Do you think he fucking knew all of the shit that was going on? Then I was like a...

I don't want to incriminate myself. I know, I know, I know. But the way you said it. Like I said, I can't. No matter how you answer that shit, you snitching. Yeah, exactly. That was a nice. You asked the question like a fan. I grew up with white people, but one thing I know is how to get a black guy in trouble. You know what I mean? Just give him the Happy Meal before you ask him to snitch, brother. You said, Dan, it wasn't even drinking.

Speaking of, how the hell you pronounce Lechem... Lechemindewa. Okay. It's the King's Path. King's Path. Because I know Branson. That's the one I pronounce. That's the Branson lifestyle. You're not... worried that if you throw little allegations, and you don't throw out allegations, but you kind of poke fun at them. You just ask questions. You're not worried that it comes back your way? Like people dig up your past and try to pull stuff up? I don't grab that shit in my past.

Everybody got a little bit. Not that it's real enough. I took a pill. But it was for me to perform better. For her to remember, buddy. I didn't fucking give her a drink until she forget what the fuck happened. What the fuck is going on here, bro? I gave me the fucking drug to perform. So she can remember and possibly love me for that. Didn't work, didn't work. What the fuck?

Yo, bro, look, I'm doing pretty good. You know what I mean? But I'm just saying, you just said it's the opposite of normal shit that we're talking about, bro. I don't know why it's so hard for people just acknowledging that shit is weird. So for people to feel like you would have something or you would have reserved...

energy because you felt like you was doing it too. This is people that are looking on separation between their hardships or the things that they got going on that would be issues and what a celebrity's issues would be.

Wait, what does that mean? They think all celebrities are doing the same thing. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, and when you see, if I wasn't saying anything, guess what? You could... safely say that a person on the outskirts that is not involved in hip-hop culture could think that everybody in hip-hop culture is with that shit.

So by you, oh, you're good, bro. You're fucking good. He's protecting hip-hop. If you don't speak out and make them the weirdos, then they're going to think everybody's like that. Every single person is like that, involved in hip-hop culture. Makes you think. Did Jay do it? Shut up. We live in New York, bro. No. We live here. No. Free JZ. I'm just saying. Shout out Mufasa. We all gonna go and support. You are crazy.

That was the craziest thing. I literally... What's the idea, Roc Nation? I got to send her that. You don't feel like that happened the same day, bro. They came out the day before the next day. I was eating Raisin Bran. Okay, I'm eating Raisin Bran. I got my daughter in my arm. I'm scrolling. Right? I see somebody screenshot your shit. It's Jay and the whole family at the Prosser Fair. And then the comment is 50 Cent. Jay said, they said I...

The 13-year-old, let's go watch Mufasa. Everybody get dressed. We're going to see Mufasa right now. I just think it was a good look, like angling yourself as a family man. Yes. They had to go to the premiere, bro. That was planned already. They had to go to the premiere. And I realized that later, but I'm just saying. I haven't seen him in a long time. That's all I'm saying. I hadn't seen him in a long time. And then I heard this shit. And then I looked. And I saw.

Mufasa. I said, whoa. That's all that fucking happened, bro. This is my phone. This is happening at real time. I'm going, yo. He said, yo. You just got to say everyone gets these jokes, bro. That's what you got to say. Rappers, listen, comedians are new rappers, bro. Why do people come to my page? That's true. You know what they're saying? Well, you don't think you're going to happen next? Yeah, that's what they're saying to me, buddy. Well, you're next.

Yeah, you laughing at this. And you're not worried at all. Why? Because you don't got nothing. I don't have it. All right. there's no girls gonna come out why you sound skeptical because i think there are some women that are like no i think there's some women that are like this guy's supposed to be from queens

I didn't know. What I'm saying is I know a couple of exes that fucking throw me under my arm. You should have let them have the corners. None of this would have happened. If you let them have the corners, we'll be fine. You know there's some like... Opportunists. Yeah, they'll just throw out the fucking lot. But that's what I'm saying. You had to have something. Look, if you already interacted with the person, right, and you hadn't had a bad experience.

It would take more for them to say some of the shit that you see these people say. Ah. Right? Like, you know, what made you do? What made you? Even when things, we part ways, because a lot of times when we interact with people, they don't necessarily, they're not just having fun for tonight. They think they're gleaming into this hardcore relationship. They may not.

materialize, right? So I see what you're saying, where they can look and go, well, look, you met the girl in 2003. You hung out with her. You had a good time after the show with 30 girls there. You just went and you hung out, right? And y'all just part ways. So there's no negative things between it. But she can look up at the TV now and you've been a success since then. Feel like that's my life. I was supposed to be there. And be upset with you and say something. But there's a...

will have any merit to it. That woman hasn't been in my... You ain't always have the most amicable breakups. Do you remember where, I think it's your baby mom's, where it's like she was kind of speaking out and then all of a sudden the house just got burnt out. You know, it happens. Left eye. It's serious. This nigga is crazy. He goes, wow. I don't know how you feel about me now. No, no, no. He's great. Who was the fan? Who was the fan? I have faith to not do just uses.

I'm a civilian now. I don't believe there would be consequences. I'm a civilian now. It's the actions that this brother is talking about. Oh my goodness. I agree, man. Why is that a part of his thought process today while we're here having a good time? You do have people that really, look, when you break up with them, they don't care about you anymore.

So they'll say things and you go, yeah, but it doesn't hold merit. It doesn't have any real connection to it. Yeah, of course. After all his years and you don't see nothing. Yeah, like the girl is just upset with you. She's just angry with you. And you go, oh. I thought the smartest thing Jay said in the statement was, if you really believe this happened, then press criminal charges. He said, pull up. But I don't think that was... Tell me. Tell me. Okay, look.

Because of the statute of limitation, there is no... Oh, there is no criminal. So making a statement is to make people feel like... But apparently, if she's under 18, didn't you say it still could be criminal? He knows he's fed.

He used to be a cop. You turned him into a cop. He used to sell drugs, and then he became a police officer. Did you know that? You said court officer. You said court officer. But you know what he would do? When they would arrest G-Unit guys, he would be like, yes. He was in the court. I'll give you the extra fucking cheese sandwiches and shit like that. I'll be looking out. Take care of the family.

I don't know, man. I think, what's the name? I get confused, too. When you look at this shit, it's a lot. It's a lot of confusing information, right? But I think when you do point out that, why didn't you... file criminal cases? Because you can't. You can't. It's over 20 years old. This was 2000, bro. I think if it's a minor, you can't. When they're saying this is happening, I'm not even 50 Cent yet. Yeah. Oh, wow. You see what I'm saying? Like, this is that, that...

It's that far back. So it's like, I'm not, it didn't even take place at that point. So I'm like, yo, can I, this is, I want to get back to, can I ask you a question? How did you convince Louisiana to change the laws? Your influence is a little scary sometimes, bro. You play around on the internet, but then you made a state change a law. Have you been to Shreveport? They need it. No. I spent half my childhood basically in Shreveport.

So I know they need everything you can give them. Can you explain what happened? Because this was crazy. It's straightforward. They were first to provide tax incentives. And they blossomed first, and then they're political. stuff that goes on out there, had them pull it. And a lot of the people gravitated to a lamp and a closer place that they could work consistently in the field that they were working in. So now when you get a chance to come out there, like I didn't have...

It was Millennium Studios originally. I worked on Streets of Blood out there. I filmed with Val Kilmer and Sharon Stone. So I had an experience in Shreveport. as just acting talent at that point. And then Avi Lerner had owned the studio at that point. And Avi, he just financed the Expendables. I did the Expendables with Stallone, Jason Satham.

uh, Megan Fox. Dolph London. The whole squad. That's the one that, like, all my action stars are in it. I like action as a genre, so I did that movie. But while I'm there, I'm asking him, like, what was wrong with it? He was like, nothing. It's just the incentive, you know what? So we were filming in Bulgaria because they understand that they need to bring the productions out there. And then...

And just real quick for everybody that's watching this, sometimes states will actually reduce the taxes on a production. It could be a TV show or a film, and that will incentivize people to do it in their incentive Hollywood or their incentive New York. A lot of times they shoot Toronto instead of New York City.

Actually, Hollywood and New York are the worst places to shoot. It's too expensive. Yeah, it's the worst places to shoot. And it's turned into that because it's become such a frequent thing. And now everybody's moving to different areas to create businesses. are functional. So you do, you go by this huge film complex in Shreveport.

throw a pretty sick comedy show in order to crack off the weekend. They can't afford that show. They can't afford that show. Everybody showed it, bro. It was everybody showed it. It was Chappelle, Kat. Andrew Schultz. Whatever. That's what I'm saying. Bill Bellamy was there. Gary O was there. DC was there. It was great.

It was crazy. It was, it was, and it was, I mean, backstage was, there was 2,000 people backstage. It was definitely like, there was no pressure for them to do like long sets. Just being is enough. Like they didn't have to, you know, and then. No, but giving that to the city was very cool. You blow it up and you're there and there's these tax incentives for the state.

And then it comes out, I think with the new administration, they're getting rid of the taxes and stuff again. So I'm like, ah. I go, what the fuck? Yeah, you gotta imagine what that feels like after you just spent $5 million. $5 million, motherfucker. What? What the fuck? So what I'm trying to understand is what happened because a week later, the state said,

We actually would like to bring back the tax incentives. Yeah, well, it was up, but it had to go to pass to different areas of government. So they had, but it was questioning. It went from, they reduced it from $150 million to $125 million. But it's still, now it's functional. It's still the right place for me to film. So I'll be able to do some things. And I had bought, I bought a lot of property out there. You bought, I thought the whole waterfront or whatever. Like downtown.

Because I got to revitalize it and get it up to it. You know like the hotel rooms was a little off You know what's interesting about this is like This is what all the people who buy sports teams are doing now. What you're doing with entertainment is what Golden State Warriors did. They basically get the city to pay for the new arena.

The conglomerate, the group, you buy up all the real estate around that shitty ass place and they rent it out to restaurants. They make condos there. They know it's going to bring so much traffic. They make more money off the real estate than they do off the team. So knowing that you're going to build up.

and you're going to make it a hub for projects. Yeah, you got to get those pieces and revitalize it. And this is the only way that you can assure that it'll be that the lights will turn on when you need them to. Like, so for it to actually have places to go out to eat and do things that you would... and joy out there. Because that's the basic experience. We say, nah, I was glad I had a good time, especially if we're going somewhere to work. As long as you had...

I hear what you're saying. If you're in the middle of nowhere, you're like, I got to do this project for two months. What the fuck? No, you want to have a nice restaurant to go to. You want to have a little club. You want people to want to be in Shreveport. Yeah, I can curate that. and then you know a lot of the cool part is a lot of uh the artists were in a place where they want to bring things like like jade kiss got the kiss calf so i'm bringing like

Create a coffee shop out there. Oh, that's fire. That's fire. Then, uh, Keith Sweat, Harlem's Pizza. Let's go. I didn't even tell anybody about that. I know you're huge. How big is your team? Because how do you pull off moves like this? Every move you pull off, I'm like, how the fuck is this? You know what? I got separate teams.

They separate it because the G-Unit, like what would be G-Unit music team is there and then you got what G-Unit film and television would be. So you break it up and a lot of times that's how they mess up their business because they get too big of a team.

Yeah. You never worry about that? Nah. Because, like, you have... Because I'm functioning. I'm working. That's true. But you're also on tour. Like, you're also... Yeah, you're managing all these different things. This is actually a large production, bro.

Like, when I came in here, I see there's two different setups. It got the whole, all these cameras. Look at all of this stuff. Talk that shit. Look, that camera right there. Talk that shit. That right there could be the whole show. We could put that one over there just in case it'll get you every now and then. You know what I'm saying? We can go ahead and make a lot more money. We can keep a lot more money in our pocket. Who bought all of this stuff?

It was donated. We stole it from the local studio. It's a nice production. It's not a million square feet. This is not cheap stuff, bro. This is the professional lights, I can tell. All right, guys, let's take a little break for a second, man, because some of the boys are getting a little money off of this crypto thing. Yo, did y'all know that 50 actually took... payment for Animal Ambition, I believe it was the album.

In Bitcoin. What a fucking genius, dude. 700 Bitcoins in 2014. Wow. Wow. That'd be $71 million there. Guy's a genius. That motherfucker don't fail. He cannot. He cannot fail. He does not fail. Yep. Did he? Hold on to it, though. That's the question. He might have failed.

Yeah, we should have asked him that. God damn, Jamil, why don't you tell me? That is incredible. That's crazy. Who's the athlete? No, there's an athlete. Oh, yeah, the football player. And yeah, he was talking about shit. Russell Ocum. Yes. He was talking that shit. Now, he actually lied to his mom when Bitcoin dropped. He's like, oh, I sold it, actually. Wow. I believe it's his mom. And he actually stayed and my man is cooking right now. That's awesome. Good for him. He's great, dude.

That guy's great. He's a baller, too. Yeah, he retired, but he was the guy that went on two 30-day water fasts, water only, and then lost 140 pounds or something like that. You need to do that right after you finish playing, right? Yeah, he did that after he finished playing, and they did it again. seven, eight months later, I think. I don't know the exact timeline, but yeah, two of them. But I feel like those bigger guys in football, it's got to be...

Yeah, you got to lose the weight quickly. Yeah, because that's game over for your life. And now he's set financially, in good shape, living his life. Probably bought it with Kraken because he knows it will be so secure. Yeah, save his exchange. We care about his safety with our exchanges. Yes.

Okay. I have learned that lesson the hard way. What can happen? You buy with FTX or something and then... And then what happened? It just goes away. Then this guy blows it all fucking some ugly girl and then what are you going to do? She was hideous. Yeah. Yeah. She was... So the nice thing about Kraken is we looked into... to it and they're beautiful gorgeous they're gorgeous and beautiful people are not going to fuck you over when it comes to crypto no

We just sound like Trump right now. Everyone in this company, beautiful, gorgeous. They're beautiful. Handsome. No, but for real, you don't want to trust an ugly bitch with money. Yeah, dude, no chance. Pretty women know how to handle money. Absolutely. They keep it around so they can spend it. And ugly chick, she's used to being broke. I think her dad runs the SEC or something like that. You gotta buy everything herself. Ugly ass.

Yeah, I don't know. That is one of the reasons why Kraken is just such a profound exchange. It's the beauty of the people. Oh, I'm up right now? You're up. You got 500 bucks. I'm a 500? Wait, do a recent check. Four seats to the Knicks. Maybe to the Liberty. Four seats to the Liberty. Yeah. I think I'm up 2,600. Jesus Christ. What the fuck? God damn. Nah, go back to his shit. What the fuck Mark Byan, yo? Okay, I'm going to share it.

No, no, no. How much longer? Okay. How do we not rug pull? No, we're not doing this. I'm not doing it. It's not worth the risk. You see what happened to everybody that shares what they buy. This is what we'll do. Once we sell. We will reveal what we bought on our crypto journey. Oh, that's good. Because otherwise it's going to look like we're promoting. What if I'm Diamond Hands?

that you never get to reveal. And you probably die before you get to make the money, so you lost all of it, dumbass. That would suck, you know what I mean? Tragic accident, that'd be horrible. The one silver lining in it would be that you lost. That would be the only silver lining. Anyway, I'm up 500. God damn, Mark. No, 500 is good. Fuck you. No, it's good. I'm down 2,500. It makes sense. Not shocked. This guy will lose grip.

Even if the exchange is still open. How much Hawk 2 would you buy, to be honest? A lot of Hawk 2. You can't buy it on Kraken. You know why that is? Because they don't got them bullshit-ass coins on Kraken. out to Kraken. Okay. Coffeezilla probably approves that statement. I said probably. Okay. The point is Kraken is where you're going to get your crypto. Go to kraken.com.

slash flagrant, or you just scan the QR code right here on the screen, you can start your crypto journey today. And I want to give you a disclaimer. I want this to be loud and clear. Not investment advice. Crypto trading involves risk of loss and is offered to U.S. customers, excluding... Maine, New York, and Washington. It's offered through Payward Interactive Inc. Shout out to Kraken though, man. Next time 50's on, we're gonna ask him if he held on. Yeah. It's hard to hold. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think we talked about this before, but you have to be an absolutely insane or retarded person to buy Bitcoin at like $100 and keep it to $100. That's why they call them DGENs, bro. They're degenerates. You have to be a degenerate. DGENs. have a religious belief in where crypto is going to go he's saying he's going to hold it until it hits a million million How many afterlifes is that going to be? You're going to come back as a rabbit trying to access your account. Ten years. Flying cars.

Wait, you're going to wait until it hits a million. Give it to your kids. You can pass it down. Pass it down to my kids. Leave something for them. That's what I'm talking about. Respect. That is respect. A million. I hope it hits a million. I'm invested. I hope I got more than you. You might as much as I lost. No, no, no, no. I thought you said you'll lose like 25%. Yeah.

Okay. And you know how much percent you would have lost if you used Kraken? Zero. Wow. You would be up big. I know. I think about this all the time. Why don't you just use Kraken? Now I'm using Kraken. But I'm not allowed to buy anymore. Your wife put the kibosh in there. She was cool with it. When she found out I lost it, she was like, you've lost it? Yo, isn't it crazy? I know we talked about this before, but how their economic anxiety works.

Right? It never kicks in when they want frivolous ass shit. Right? But the second we're trying to create generational wealth of random letters on the internet. Now it's a problem. Now it's a big fucking deal. BTC, them letters could change out.

Now let's get back to the show. Okay, I need to know how you're the only person that's crossed over to Hollywood. without changing your personality? Well, you don't have to... Look, I think if you do things on other people's terms, then it's just wrong for your life. You know, if I had to be different...

In order to make it happen, I wouldn't be being me and it wouldn't be the right thing. It wouldn't be authentic. Yeah. And when you do come in, I'm the executive producer. I'm supposed to be behind the scenes, but I'm just so visible that I can move the audience.

You know what I mean? So, like, I go 50 Cent Action, my Fast Channel just went on. On Roku. On Roku. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pop, I'm already going to be the number one Fast Channel on Roku. Already, see? I said one year. That was like one day. Feel the 50 cent effect. You know what I'm saying? It's already happening. Let's go.

But they, you know, I can't say it officially until they get the numbers back, but. It's going to be. Yeah, yeah. But I just, I just, like, I understand Hollywood a little bit. And I understand the. the fear that everybody there lives in. They're terrified at every second. They're like... Part of it, too, is like, there's certain things I'm not going to compromise, right? You look and go, that's the old Hollywood we're talking about. It was like...

And it was different, too. You wouldn't dare say something about sexuality. Right? But now we know what Puffy was doing with their booty the whole time. Yeah. Look at this. This is what made them so afraid. What was he doing with their booties, man? He was playing with it. Thank you.

He was playing with it. According to the people complaining. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah, yeah. He was playing with it. He was playing with it, man. This is really good. Yeah, it is. This is really good. Got Hennessy beat by a mile.

Okay, so you find a way to essentially operate as yourself in these spaces. You have to hit a roadblock. There has to be a time where you come across someone, they're like, hey, can you just comment down on social media? Always do that. Okay, and then how do you handle that conversation?

Look, it was usually from stars. I would get that energy from them. So you've got their whole network on your back, and they have the balls to come to you and go, could you just calm it down a little? Well, you know you're asking me to not do what...

is why you even have success. So they're so detached from... Yeah, yeah. I was like, oh, you know what? Okay. Then when you don't see me post anything connected to them, it's because now I'm like, I got 41 shows across 10 different networks. God damn. I wouldn't have been there, but look, God, 19 of those shows, they had to tell me no. Who? Stars? Stars had to tell me no for me to go out and sell it to another now. Wow. So I'm the easiest person to say no to. I don't care about.

Particularly being on stars. I've dragged the most people two stars with the material that I created. So now when they would like it to be other projects, like they would like it to be Outlander. If that works... for the network and that audience is there hardcore for it it is a bigger network yeah yeah like you know i mean so they wanted to be that so they promoted that all the time and i'm like yo you forgot to say this

And I'm like, even though, you know, there's different things. Just in entertainment, period, there's blocks, there's borders of things, right? And I think when you... Diversity it is, they limit how often they'll specifically take the time to point out that it's doing well. You know what I mean? Because there's other spaces that, you know, it feels like they are pro that. Oh, that's interesting. They care more about...

their identity being wrapped around Outlander, they're being wrapped around your shows, which are the most successful shows. The shows that create the actual... Oh, shit. What fucking idiots. The people are going to decide what... what your identity is when you're a TV network. A TV network doesn't decide. The people decide. When you got a CEO there and he says, this is the mandate, premium women, and you go, you know the shows that we just put up that work?

Don't match a new mandate? Yeah, they don't get it. And also they have an arrogance. They think that they're the ones that are making the show successful. The data would tell you if you look... Your girlfriend might pick the cable bill. That is the bill that is consistently the same size bill every month. But they'll look at it and say, premium woman, if you look, the females are paying that bill.

You see what I'm saying? In the house, thinking about your household. Right. And then they go, when you look and you see that data, you go, oh, a premium woman. So you want to create content that... targets this demo, and it's just a person that has information and is not paying attention to what they're actually watching. She's not watching the TV because you like the show.

She would be enjoying it with you when you like the show. And they're saying no, because the data says that they're paying. Let's make it about premium women. OK, I got you. Yeah, go, go. You've had some of the craziest business moves like vitamin water, a bunch of, I can, the list goes on, but.

Power was probably one of the flyest moves because first season, and correct me if I'm wrong, first season, I think you only were getting like 17K an episode. Like he low-balled himself. And then after the success, Then you renegotiated. And now he has fucking 12 shows on stuff. I would have got paid more to just go to the nightclub. No performance. I'm going to be here. I would have got paid more to do that. I wanted to make the show.

So you bet on yourself. Like that shit is fire. And they go, look, they told me, no, we pitched to everybody. Ain't got to know first. I came back. I had time because I knew the storylines and everything. I wrote music that matches the characters and stuff like that. So I said, this is what we're going to do when you pitch. A portion of the pitch, then we'll press play.

and the portion of the pitch and they would press play. And then we'll be able to have the room looking and going, they had an experience with exclusive music from 50 Cent at that point. And then I'm going, this is the place where they spend the less. the least amount of money in the production.

Because the last place they're doing is musical clearance. The last thing, they've already done all the special effects, everything else, everybody's already got paid. So the music supervisor will come in. This is afterthought. And they'll pull out the things that you put and place things to the comp. He changed that because now every show is putting like...

Drake on, Kendrick's songs on. Also, shout out you for clearing... Oh, no, that was... You know what I mean? Shout out you for clearing the song, man. For the special. That was super cool. Respect. But, okay, so anyway, so you were able to... bypass certain things but one thing you said to me when you were in Boston is I was like why do you think the shows are so successful and uh and you're like well because it's me and I kind of laugh and I was like what do you mean and then you go

Well, I mean, if you were from this area and experienced these things, do you want some white lady from Burbank to write your story? Or do you want me supervising? It's like the rap thing. You live the rap. The story's safe with you. Find the best possible story you can find and then creatively make up shit. Because your life, you guys would be in each other's lives, just being on this podcast consistently. So you'd be cutting into somebody else's life at some period.

So they don't want to deal with that at all, legal department. So if you make up timelines and you do different things to creatively make a great show that tells the nuances of the story, of what the experience is, they'll be excited by that.

I needed to be grounded and real. And they don't know what real is. Like, the idea that someone who's not from the hood at all, their idea of the super thug character is going to do some goofy shit. And then when the people watch, like, what is the goofiest shit they've pitched to you? They wanted me to kill an old lady. and power. I'm going, wait a minute. I'm going through my Rolodex and shit that people did really fucked up shit. And I'm going, why exactly am I killing the old lady? Yeah.

Because that's what they think. I'll go, okay, okay. Can I have drugs? Can you give me drugs? Can you give me a reason why I'm not in my right mind when I'm doing it? Because that would be an excuse for the behavior being... That was a television moment for me. That makes sense, yeah. Because I don't know nobody who killed somebody's old lady to get back into an apartment that they used to...

What makes characters great is when they're flawed, right? Like we like Tony Soprano. He's not a good guy. He's not a bad guy. But you have to know what their constitution is. And I think a lot of times when people are so separated... from whatever it is. It could be the mafia. It could be the hood. It doesn't matter. They're so separate. They don't know what a bad guy is capable of, but they don't know what he won't do. You're not killing nobody's grandma. The only thing left was to kill a dog.

This is a bad person. What the fuck? I'm like, yo, so the whole thing you want me to? With a Jesus saves pillow? With a Jesus saves pillow. That was really what the scene was. I was like, yo, can I be on drugs? That's when I started with Lean. in the show. Yeah. And Tyreek had him with that because I'm like, just give me something. Give me a reason that...

to break my constitution, to not be who I am. And to make it feel like this could have happened. Right. When he had so much character development and... because every character was complex, now you have a spin-off for every single character. Exactly. Because the characters are real. The hood marveled. Like, it's a multiverse. It really is. That shit is fire. And I got some stuff that's now just coming. It's going to shape things. Really? Yeah, it's a good project.

Can you give us a little... Yeah. Oh, I'm working on one with Chris Albrecht. Right now, me and Chris, we did Power of the... Yeah. Well, Courtney is the writer. Was the writer's show on that. But me and Mark Cam introduced me to Courtney. Courtney... We put it together and we got the thing together. But Chris is like the... Let them know who Chris is. This is the goat who ran HBO for the best of HBO shows. Sopranos, The Wire. Oh, wow. So it's like he's...

He's one of those guys, like Pharrell. He sees a bit. And understands the story to a different level where he could actually... He could write the shit himself. But he just... I have the other writers involved with it. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, so that guy, we got another one we're working on now where we incorporate DR and PR. We're going across Dykeman this time. So they'll see how people from DR...

Shout out to Dominican. You're going to have some chicken fights, bro. It's going to be efficient. You need to have them chicken fights. It's going to be efficient. It's going to be a lot of skinny jeans and manicured eyebrows. It's rhinestones on the back pocket. Can I? Can I help out with the dressing for that? I'm going to do wardrobe. It's a big one. Is that why you're celibate now?

I saw you post about that. You know what? That worked out for me for a little while, bro. For how long? It does. A weekend? No, a few months. A few months. That's good. These guys are going to jail. Puffy Sullivan. Puffy Sullivan. He's dating himself. I mean, is he? Hopefully. Hopefully. I don't want to imply any of this shit that you tried. He said, oh, is he? He's crazy. He's crazy. Nah, but you know, I'm going to get killed after this. Wait a minute.

Hold it, hold it, hold it. So you said earlier this year that you're going to be celibate. Yeah, yeah. He's going to practice. He's going to practice. I was practicing. He's going to practice. You're not going to play the game. You're just going to practice. You can see people there. Huh? You sit across from them at the table and you can see them.

That they're celibate? No, because you don't want anything from them. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, you go out with an attractive girl, you talk to her. Oh, they can feel the energy? No, so what are you doing? When you ask a girl what she working on and she don't say anything, she's working on you. So what were you saying to girls that were trying to fuck during this period? I'm just hanging out. I'm just not really into that right now. We just need to...

know each other. Be friends. And that would work so much. It just kills them. Where's the expectations of the things that are here? You hear culturally what's going on in music. A lot of whole shit. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going on in music. And they think that because they're performing and enjoying it while they're saying these things, it becomes a part of the thought process. Oh.

So there's expectations that you're doing things. I'm going to take a bougie ass to Rodeo. I don't give a fuck what she do to me. I'm going to give her what she want. But it does make some people think that you should give them what they want.

And the fact that you're not going to give it to them at all. Yeah, yeah. They just lose their mind. It's better that you don't give me what you thought would be creature eligibility for you to get whatever you want. So now you're not buying anything on Rodeo. No, no. When I go to Rodeo, it's always my size. It's a nine and a half. It's always that, bro. You don't trick on a girl every once in a while just for fun? I've tricked her for, you know.

He says a couple months. I haven't done it. I haven't done it. Anybody who hasn't done that just doesn't have money. Yeah, it's the truth, man. It's my life. You can't brag about not tricking if you don't got it. You never tricked? No? You never had it. It never was so easy for you to do it for recreational purposes that you just said, why did I do that? I didn't have to do that. That was nice.

It's a thoughtful thing. It's a thoughtful thing. Can you tell us about Den of Thieves 2? Den of Thieves. Starring O'Shea Jackson Jr. That's the homie, dude. The legend, bro. That's my favorite actor, bro. Lights in the ice cube. There's no way you don't win with a lighter, skinny ice cream. There is no way. A lighter, skinny ice cream. Listen, this is going to work. He's sweet, though. He's a sweet, nice... We call him ice cream.

Yo, listen. O'Shea, he's one of the most talented actors in the world. He's brilliant, bro. I wouldn't believe he was the first. He's a genius. No, he's a genius. Nah, for real. He's a genius. His condition is trained. I know.

He don't listen to music, bro. I was trying to put him on to some of his dad's shit. But he's trained. He's an art student. He's an actor. I believe all that. For a long time, there's a lot more experience than we have, bro. Yeah. No, he's good. I'm looking at him, and I'm going, oh, shit. So we was doing publicity.

for the first, but then at these, right? And Gerard Butler was there and he's gone. Shout out to Gerard, man. Like he's in the back and I'm like, what the fuck was that for, right? Because we were like going on a talk show. And I'm like, yo, what the fuck did you do that for? And he's like, no, what? No, he's like, that's the shit you do when you try to relax yourself before you go act. Yeah.

You're not going to go act. You're going to go be you. Yeah. But he still had the nervous energy. He's going to go in front of the cameras. And I was like, whoa, bro. I know how to be 50 set. I don't have to. You see what I'm saying? I don't have to do that. Don't ever have a vulnerable moment around. He's like, yo, what happened? What happened? I said, no. He said, oh, this guy's giving me shit.

Like, you know, I'm like, no, no, just fucking with him, man. I'm happy that you guys would take the time out of your lives to be here to promote my movie. This is what I did the whole time. I'm like, yo, this is great. My movie's fabulous. I got Gerard Butler even came. to support me. Like they ain't even in the movie. So you know what really transpired, right? Five years before the movie was made.

I had asked my agent at CAA to give me a good action script, right? And he gave me a script, and I read it. And he was like, so what do you think? And I was like, well, I thought it was good, like when the car flipped over and the thing blew up and stuff. He says, I said, well... what do you think? And he said, I think it was shit. I said, you think it was shit? He said, yeah. He said, you tell me, give your action script. I'll give you action script.

I said, no, give me the best asterisk. So I know what the fuck is right and what's not right. He goes, okay, he gives me a script. The script is Den of Thieves. At this time, Den of Thieves was at Relativity. Tucker Toole was still working at Relativity. That's a production company, Relativity? And he just mentioned to me that Tucker is Tucker's script. Like, it was an amazing project. And I read it. And I met him at the Oscar party.

So he's like, hey, I'm Tucker. I was like, oh, shit. Oh, yeah, I know. I know the script you got. He's like, how do you know? that script like nobody knows about it's like one of his pet projects like a baby and then later he left relativity moved to his own company and continued to have relationship with christian go to ghost and and work together with that and then when the project came together it's five

The only person who had the script at that point was Gerard Butler, but I was reading the scripts, but they gave it to Gerard Butler because they wrote it with intentions for it to be something for Gerard Butler. I had it because I looked for the best shit to find. Got it. So I wasn't in the movie, guys. So five years later, I'm cool enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now you're looking and going, yo, yo, be real dope if you want to play. And I'm like, I'm available. You see me doing.

fucking power for $17,000. I am available. I need a check. I'm at a point where it's a good time to pivot and do something different. Like, you look and go, look, right now you think... In Drake's case, because of the success, he's feeling the backlash of his success. Everything that he said he did, they did. In that lawsuit, they did it.

What do you mean? The University Music Group? Reducing the price of the songs? No, everything that he did is a part of marketing. I feel that, too. Oh, yeah, they do it for everybody. They probably did it for him. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I would look and go... Look, at Interscope, there was Deliverment G-Unit and G-Unot.

I know the feeling. Oh, at the same time. Oh, wow. So they're making money on both sides. Right, because they're looking at it like a business, completely not personalizing each individual. Play both sides. You got money on both sides. Play the record. Don't play it. They're just selling music.

They don't camp out. It's not a personal relationship at all. Yeah, it's like Hershey's owns Kit Kat 2. You'll feel personal because you'll feel like you made them so much money. And they'll go, no, it's not personal at all. But Drake's your man. How do you personally feel about him doing it? Look, I like Drake's music. I'm a Drake fan. I'm one of those guys that listen to the music, and I start to like what's happening.

All right? So there's a point where your voice becomes a hit. And as soon as it comes on, we know, like, we're not struggling to say this is good. it's just dead like and I like his shit Kendrick's shit the same Kendrick is closer technically because of the Dr. Drake connection but I do look I do like

I do feel like I went through a portion of what he's experienced. When you were on top, everybody wants to take a shot. Yeah, and that, look, you see how he lash at everybody? You had the list. That don't feel like 50 Cent? Oh, shit. You see what I'm saying? That's what that experience is. You were doing that before you had anything. Wait, so what happened when- He's good at doing the weave.

How do you feel about him suing? Do you think he should sue? Oh, damn, I got caught in this other story. That was good. He's good. He's good. This guy is like a cop. No, he was a cop. What do you mean? No, I can feel cop energy. Literally. He was a cop. That's what I'm trying to tell everybody. Hey, Al, Al, Al, right now, I lock nobody. Al, when we're engaged in this beef, we need the police on our side. Okay? We have police everywhere, in every single city. I'm feeling Vlad energy often.

Oh, don't put that on me. That's crazy. Wow. That's crazy. I feel like someone's going to jail, fucker. He's going out. You gave the weed. You gave the weed. Yeah, I know. He's slick. Hold on, hold on. That's crazy. He's slick, buddy. But tell us, though. Tell us. Tell us, though. No, I think I never knew. If for what I was thinking is for, then I understand it. Hmm.

If it's for what you're thinking for. To prevent the song from being played at the Super Bowl because it would do further damage. That would be wild to hear that. The entire Super Bowl is calling you a pedophile. It's crazy. What the fuck? You're at the house like this and you was on fire just a week ago. And now they're like, did you stink or something changed about you? All right, so when everybody's coming at you,

When you're on top, you're on top of the world, you feel the energy of all these people that don't have what you have. And even if they're not coming directly, they're like saying indirect sneak shit. They still would like the idea of you not. And they relish and then support the things that are against you. They laugh at it. They regurgitate the talking points of it. To appear unaffected by things that...

I bother you will prevent you from actually having to go through. But they're affected by your success. Because they think your success is stopping theirs. What people don't realize is, like, they just suck. Right. It's going to take time for that bullshit you have to connect anyway. Yeah, that's what they don't get. Because they rather think that you're the one stopping them.

then they ain't shit. But the reality is they ain't shit. No, no, you're in the way. I blame the system. I blame something. Look, this is why they always say an artist's first album was his best album. because you don't get a second chance at a first impression. That first impression, everyone...

was in agreeance that this shit is cool. And you had no expectation. Right. So it's like... Low expectations keep light. Organically, you can put a record out, nobody knows who you are, and it organically starts to stream. It starts to work. Yeah. And they go, you always knew. So you can do things during that period. You can make a million mistakes on that first.

while you're going up the charts for the first time. And then afterwards, you have to figure out all of the mistakes that you made and not fuck up again. Because you can't launch the project without having a marketing campaign set and know exactly what the single is and when you're going to have your targeted date for it to hit radio and everything else. Because it's not going to stream as anyone.

They're not finding it for the first time. So they'll go, oh, no, that's cool, but it's not like it's first shit. Is there anything you would have done differently music-wise? No. I think I made the right decisions because I didn't... I left before they told me to go. That's smart. And you know what? Usually, the artist is the last one to know he fell off. Yeah, like you're not paying attention. Because they're not...

All right, you know, how the fuck, you know, so you could be there and be like, yo, I ain't doing this show. No, because you still think you're supposed to get $80,000. and you don't bring the fucking number down and then you'll have shows moving around sometimes you need to do a show for 17 grand and then you got 42 shows in production but they won't take that ego sometimes you gotta pay the dope boys on the corner

And they're not eat. Exactly. So you can show them who's boss, though. And that's always been a part of it. You get it. Guys, I just yawned right before this ad read. You know why?

So what would you do if you're Drake now? How would you advise him in this situation? I don't know. He got so much... He already has an acting background. Yeah. So get into the... Should he pivot more in a movie, film, go deeper on top of it? I think he might want to do that kind of stuff anyway. He already...

his condition for it. Yeah. But just to give himself a break from, because they'll feel it. They're going to miss it. Let them miss it. That's the thing. They'll miss it. Look, if you say, it's nothing but two, we got two artists we're talking about. True. And the whole culture to dominate, they are swallowing up everyone's attention, right? If Dre goes, okay, I'm... I'm going.

And then it's all on Kendrick. Yo, you better feed the streets. They're going to be like this. They'll look at Kendrick. Yo, you can't be five years between albums, though. We need some food right now. That's right. A lot of massive pressure on him. Yeah. to do it. So you say take a break. Let them miss you. I would watch him. I would just watch him. Because he's rich as a motherfucker. He don't need the money. It's so funny. When was the last time you went on tour before this one?

I went for the last tour. Oh, it's been a while. And what happened in this tour? Everything's all over. It's great. So it's like, if you give people, I tell them there's a comics a lot of time. There's these comics that like tour relentlessly. And I'm just, I literally say, I'm like, take a break. and then let them develop something new and then let them go to a bunch of other shows and be like, man, that was fun. It wasn't like that. And that energy definitely...

I remember even talking to you about it. I was like, yo, that shit sold quick. You're like, bro, it was time. Time. When you wait, you haven't gone to these markets, you go the wrong time. I think the Germany, different areas. Australia, right? Yeah. Also do take into account that there's association. to Dr. Dre and Eminem, and they don't tour. So I'm the connection. So if you want to get some Dre and Em as well, yeah. Eminem never tours? Barely.

He's been out on a long tour. He'll do a show. He'll pop up and do a show under his daughter. And I love that you did the residency after the Sold Out tour. Yeah. That's great. You know how sometimes I have the energy around it like it's over? Nah, that shit changed, bro. You know who changed that? Who the fuck was it? Adele and Usher. Well, Usher. I feel after Usher, it was...

completely different because instead of an afterthought, it became a destination for people to go. People like, I'm flying out just to see that. I'm going to go see that and do this. Exactly. And then I felt like it was. And also it happened in the DJ world. The biggest DJs would have these residencies. The biggest DJs in the whole world.

And they would go there, they'd be like, okay, I'm doing this Sunday party or I'm doing this, whatever. And stay in each and be in the same spot. But that's crazy. In our lifetime, it went from this is where you go at the end of the career to... This is how you know you're popping. Because if you, it's easy, not easy, but there are people that could do one show in a city and then come back a couple years later. Not everybody could do fine.

Look, that strip, Dre is Vegas. Club Dre is Vegas. Because for the most part, hip-hop culture lives in that building. You know what I'm saying? The rest of it, you don't get a chance to get into those other... spots that have a full-on production. So now when you go... And Vegas lets you let it rip too. And it's a better show because you don't have to move everything. It all can be built right there. You build some shit that is fragile that is not as expensive as what...

Can you tell us what's going to be at the... All right, so wait. So the residency is this month into January. Yeah, January 4th. December 27th to January 4th, I'm at the residency. Then January 10th, the... The movie comes out. Then the thieves just did it. Yeah. All right, so, but the residency... the setup and like you're gonna have some people pop like what's the oh I'm definitely I got juice now so the New York show that's just fine you brought out fucking Fat Joe Buster like that show

that show was fun yeah I have a squad come out and I have some fun with it but definitely like I want to make the perform things that I want to perform instead of the records that oh so you're going to switch it up yeah I'm definitely going to musically change it up. And Snoop's album is coming out tomorrow, so it's a song featuring me and Eminem on it. It's going to be in the set. Fire. Fire. You know, some performance.

Also, we might see Snoop and have an M now. You might. That's a special ticket if you was paying for it. I feel like you're one of the few people that could call in the M favor for pretty much anything. Well, that's my guy. The way Snoop's relationship with Dre is... That's yours, yeah. But I don't know if there's that many people that...

have that relationship with him. I'm trying to think. No, you know, look, they usually are angry at the person that is at the helm. Like, if you are a record company, if the... They all blame the record company. Yeah, it's not symbiotic. There's an antagonistic relationship. Andrew, you have enough success, you don't know how, because you deal with those feelings to yourself personally.

You get the people that resent you for the success that you have and things that, and you go, what? You can care about it initially and eventually you'll start to look at it and go, man, fuck what you talking about. Because I can't allow you to have power over my emotions. Of course, yeah, yeah. You know, and... Serenity prayer. Right. You let it go. This motherfucker's smart, man.

You got some shit going on over there. Smart guy. He got diddled into him by that priest. Exactly. What? No, no, no. I was not at the parties. I wasn't at the parties. I'm not the little guy between Meek and Diddy. Not me, okay? Okay, go, go, go. That's what the P is for, actually. You were saying, go. No, I just think that, what's her name?

You fucked up my whole train of thought. I'm sorry. You can't let other people affect your emotions. They don't care. They don't care about how you feel today. Look what he said. You don't think that you have some sort of... backlash or something, and you're going, when no one else has said anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. When no one else has said anything, right? If you didn't, this means you're in agreeance with those behaviors.

Don't you appreciate hip-hop culture? Wasn't he just talking about ether and the takeover and all that? Yeah, of course. Yeah, so that means that you're okay with those behaviors. No, I'm not. I'm not, but I get what you're saying. Yeah, if you didn't say anything, then you look. I only was saying it because I've been saying it for 20 days. Like, you know what I'm saying? If it was new, I would have looked and been like, oh, shit. Like half of the community is like that.

They don't know, like, the people who haven't been to the party to understand what that is, like, what's going on. Yeah. I think people are so... terrified of being left out of the party. And they're afraid of success. They think of successful people who can do anything. Oh, they can hurt you. They can silence you. Yeah, yeah. Look at how extreme the shit is that they're saying he did.

Yeah. So you did half of that shit. Why would you not do whatever the fuck you want to do? If you did half of that, why would you not be conditioned to just do whatever?

Everybody did seem afraid of Diddy, though. You're saying if you get away with it. Yes. If you get away with half of that, you probably think you're invincible. Yeah, yeah. That makes sense. I mean, I'm not even... You were the one guy who seemed like you're not afraid of Diddy. Was it just like, I've been through it way worse? He's not a scary guy. Ha ha!

He never was a fucking scary guy. That's how I feel. I mean. That's how I feel about my beefs. Sometimes guys are. I used to say I'm going to make sweet love to him. He would have enjoyed it. He would have enjoyed it.

He can't give him what he wants. That's all the punishments. These guys, that's what I'm talking about. The comedians, you can't really beat them. Yeah, you can't. You can't. You just got to join these motherfuckers, man, because it's like... You got it. That's... Listen to 50, bro. Listen to 50.

And also we have connections to the IRS, man. It's a very powerful system that looks into your taxes to make sure. A lot of people write off things for music videos that they really shouldn't write off. And we look into all those things. We look into fine-tuned comb. Yeah, the nightclub bunny. I know, some people get paid cash. Isn't that crazy? Unaccounted for. Unaccounted for cash is really a diabolical venture. Why would you risk your freedom for that? Wow.

I have nothing to do with this shit. How did you learn so much about the business side? Is this just you living it or did you have a mentor or someone that you trusted that gave you? Great question. Don't have someone that you trust and it'll help you learn it. Way, way, way through it. Yeah, if you're in it, you have the information available to you because it's your situation, scenario. They're just not taking the time to read or to look at the things that are going on around them.

Even the new ventures. The old ventures have trained you for the new venture. Vitamin water, for example. How do you know how to prepare yourself for that deal? Clearly, they're going to try to find ways to carve you out. You're getting into a privately held company. But no other rapper was doing that for you. Right, but it changes the thought process, how they think about it, because they see it pay off bigger.

But for you, how did you navigate that deal? Because I wanted to do it at that point. Look, I was consciously not going towards spirits. Everybody's going spirits. You're like, this is why.

This is why I fuck with you. It's like whatever everybody's doing, I want to go the other way. Don't say people's names, I'll say everyone's. Exactly, exactly. All right. So everybody's going spirits. You're like, I got to do something different. What is the exact opposite of an alcoholic beverage? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Vitamins and water. You know who drinks water? Everyone. There we go. I don't know if you guys remember, but some of the ads you used to make for vitamin water. So good. One of the funniest things. He just used it like if you pull a few of these things up I remember one you had like using a suit those days if social media was around bro oh forget it like everything

You can't beef with 50 because he'll make a fucking evil about you. I don't know. I always thought that you understood two things. One, you're not really afraid of anything. And two, you understood funny. You will make everybody laugh. at those people. When you take yourself too serious, you fuck up everything. You start believing the hype, but the character you created instead of being who you are.

that's why this was so funny because at this time you were the most gangster rapper in the industry and then he'll do something like this and we're like curtis jackson again you guys know without a doubt i promote vitamin water the best I know those other guys would do that. That wasn't part of the skin. That wasn't part of the skin. That wasn't part of the skin. This is hilarious. I mean, that's great.

Did you learn any of this from Em, from watching his come up and being close to him? No, he didn't care about that shit either. He was definitely... He was just hip-hop. This is what attracts me to the baby. Oh, the bed, yeah. You'll wear a diaper and you'll walk around. Yeah, the younger generation, when they come with it, and you don't want to fuck with them. Like, don't play with them, because they dead ass serious.

with the other shit. Yeah. But he's just, it's almost, I got Joker vibes off him. Yes. Yes, 100%. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was like, because he's, Really in the experience is not the person that you should play with, but it's playing. Yeah. While he's doing it. It's like you could be the nicest person in the room if you could fuck up everyone in the room.

Yeah, and you go, I don't even want to fuck up everyone in the room. Who the fuck walks around feeling like that? Insecure people. The small guy. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? And you go, well, how would you want to do that? Even if you could, like, I think there's a point that you just... some shit just looks crazy to you like the early perspective you don't have all the information so you go on like even when you say like how do you catch up

on the things, it's just being aware of it. Like you can't, if you don't, I use my gut, man, my instincts. I have to know enough to tell you how I feel about it. You see what I'm saying? If you don't know and you're looking at the lawyer like he got you, he didn't even do what you did to earn the money. He's just giving you... So you're saying you paid him to read. Hmm. Hmm.

It's like, you could read. Yeah, I could fucking read. Like, you know. I'm a chap. Yo, free Floyd. Free Floyd. What happened? Somebody wilded on him, huh? That's what they said in London. Yeah. What's up with Floyd right now, man? I don't know. That broke my heart that you guys aren't, you know, close. Still my guy, man. Still my guy. I just, he's boxing as hell. But that was a good run. When you guys were...

When you guys were together, that was probably the heyday of boxing in my generation. That's cool. Again, I was young for Tyson coming up. So I didn't get to fully experience his. So my generation was when Floyd is out there. and then 50s kind of running the Floyd show. And it was like... You know what happens is because, look, we've been friends since 2002. He had flew to Puerto Rico to be at Mix Your Final Summit before my music even took off in 2003. Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

So me and Floyd is like, even when I fight with him, I don't hate him. That's my voice. I still like my brother. We just don't get along because I don't need him for nothing. He don't need me for nothing. So every now and then he goes, and then he goes, yo, what's up, 5? What you doing? Not everything good. All right, good. And we go back to everything being cool, but he act funny in between times. He is the greatest ever, though.

Absolutely. You ever hear me make reference to him and not call him champ? No, it's true. He's the greatest. I've said that he's the greatest great. Like, I think he's better at boxing than, like, Einstein was at science. It's extreme focus. Like, you know, he chose that early.

You know, and a lot of times with the dads, when the dads make the best babysitters, they're living vicariously through the kids. Like they turn, they take the kid to the gym, they go to the gym, and they're building their own champion. You know what I mean? That's why him and Floyd Sr. used to get into it because there's so much I like. There's a little competitive instinct right there. Yeah. I mean, that soap opera of boxing when like senior coach De La Hoya. Yeah, that was crazy.

I don't even think people could wrap their heads around what we saw. Floyd Mayweather Sr. was the coach of De La Hoya when De La Hoya fought Floyd. Can you imagine what's happening? But, you know, after a while, when you... It's him. He turned into him. What does that mean, he turned into him? Lil' Floyd turned into Floyd Senior at that point, and he didn't need any validation or any acceptance from him. He just wanted...

Go do whatever you want to do. Yeah. And you can't help him beat me because I'm better. Yeah. You understand what I'm saying? Yeah. And Roger was so much a... such an important part of Floyd's life at that point. Roger is his uncle. They were both, they were both boxers. Accomplished. Yeah. So he had that. Yeah. In that period. Yeah. RIP, right? I think Roger passed, right? Yeah. Do you ever still spar?

Nah, I haven't done it in a while. I ain't been in a street fight in a while. Don't speak about it so long. But you do want to just make sure I still got it. What was your go-to move in a street fight? Punch first. I like to get off first. I started to fight. We've seen it a couple times. I can feel it getting there. The energy you feel and then immediately you swing it? Yeah. Because it's just where it is.

You know the environment, you know what's there. Wait, what are you, wait, wait. The phone? Why is the litigator stepping in here and telling us how to street fight? But he treated me. you treated music the same way because it's like, you wouldn't even, you used to beef with people just cause they were standing next to somebody you ain't like. And you would punch first. What you're saying is.

I know how your perception of me is from just viewing the culture and stuff like that. But look at, right now, our culture standing next to the wrong person means you're the ops. Yeah. No, no, no. I agree with it. But I'm just saying you would shoot first. In the street culture and anybody that put themselves too close to someone who was not associated with you or anti you.

you treated them the same way as that. Like, you know, like there's no, that's not even new. That is really what you see happening. But then when you're thinking about it music business-wise, it's like, hey, let me just do a record with somebody who got a little heat right now just because.

Right, but then you look, when they got any type of gang references in their music or gang culture, they know that if they're associated with this person and then they go try to associate with the other one, that they put themselves in a serious situation. Gotcha. Yeah. Like the people around is looking at, nah, they was just over there with them. I feel that. So even, you know, even if they're not, they could just not be in control when it happens to you.

because you was just with this person and you came over there and the rest of the crew was feeling like that. The artist is not usually the leader of that crew. Yeah. but that's how you know those weren't real because those people you've made up with like jada fat you made up with them but like the people you still got beef with that's real beef right because you're looking you say

That's competitive, like our culture being competitive. They didn't say anything that held merit that would allow me to years later still dislike the person. You know what I'm saying? I feel like you even said you really like Jada's movie. I do. Yeah, he's nice. Jada, look, you can't be good if you can't hear good.

If you can't hear good music when it comes on, how the fuck can you make good music? Even if you can't hear it. So other people, I look and go, yeah, this nigga, okay. You think you could take me, huh, nigga? Come on, bitch. Playing with me. You know what I mean? This motherfucker's good. That's why I'm fighting fucking with him. Do you feed off that? Yeah. Like the competitive nature thing. If you don't have good competitors, then what you do? Are you like that with everything? Or just music?

Are you like that your show you need to have the highest ratings? I want you I want to see and I'm ready specifically for me because I'm not receiving the accolades connected to the performance So the validation comes from the I'm with my People's Choice Awards. I don't give a fuck about the other things. Based on the actual performance of the material, that's what I care about. And then the networks are on the same side. So they'll look and they'll go, nah, this shit is the...

Biggest shit we got. They don't care if there was a trophy received based on it. But, you know, I say this when I say this, my publicist cringes every time I say this. Get ready. I'm going to say this, guys. According to the Emmys, the most talented black man in the world is RuPaul. That's not crazy. We support the LGBTQ community out here. Google how many nominations. All right, let's look. It'll pop up for like a whopping 19 nominations. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, they pick what to...

Yeah. And then the other things that are there, you can outperform succession, you can outperform, or we can see the numbers and they got, and not giving that a trophy. Yeah. Because it's diversity versus... Wow. I mean, this is... 14 awards, 25 nominations. Yeah. You see? But you also can't validate yourself by these things. No, but if you want a trophy, go drag, baby.

That's a good idea, actually. That's the way it goes. You know if your content is in that area, there is a higher probability that you'll reckon. But if it doesn't work, you know what I mean? Big Mama's house, he didn't get no Oscar. I know, but look. Look what I just said, man. You saw how many nominations that was, bro? Yeah, yeah. You know, so... No one's even close. There's a close second. I'm just saying, if there wasn't a clear... Is there anything you've ever failed at? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

For most people, a true friendship, right? What does that mean? How many people you know married and divorced? Oh, yeah. How many times you've been with somebody that you thought would be with you? Yeah. Hmm. You see what I'm saying? So without even having the penalty of being married and then being divorced, when that person is not the person for you, then that's where you felt. You're sitting next to two people that...

Their first girlfriend are now their wives. Yeah, they're married to each other They've only slept with One woman. Yeah. You serious? Yeah, my wife when I was 17, 18 years old. She was amazing. Come on. She was no joke. Honestly, he wouldn't know. He really wouldn't know. That shit worked out. the confusion. It can't get better than this. It can't get better than this. God, thank you. Compared to the diddle in this place, he's awesome. This guy's

I'm going to take your number. We're going to be friends. I know he's going home. His fucking wife, right? Yeah, yeah. He doesn't have literally crazy friends and shit like that. He's not crazy. But this guy's good crazy. Okay, okay. You know what I mean? Like, I'm thinking, man... You fucking make it to the checklist. You want to know a TV show?

Let's do a different TV show. I mean, we got to talk first because you're already on your shit. We can make some moves. Everybody eats over here. She just seems a little more stable. than usual. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Same. Same. Yeah. That's the first time I heard that shit before. Yeah. We got two of them. That shit is crazy. If you ask my wife, I'm the best dick she ever had. It's true. Same. That's nice. She didn't know how much better it could get, my wife.

Do you block your computer from pornography? Uh, no. Because she knows there's other dick out there. She would have to know that there's a difference. She has to be absolutely satisfied and she fucks with you, baby. So far. So far. How long has that been? Uh, we've been together like 10 years. Yeah. And we just had a baby two months ago. Wow. Yeah. So we're doing it. Nine years coming in or no baby. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Did you get a dog yet? We got a dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got a baby already. Yeah, exactly. That's the start. Fuck that. You said nine years. Anything that lasts nine years is good. She's great. Yeah. But the relationship shit is hard. Making it work. Just people are difficult, right? Yeah. Look at you. How long you lasting? Bitch, you're not special. Yeah, motherfucker. I got a silence, boy. I got a silence, boy. We're not all perfect. You're from Far Out Boy, bitch. You didn't last a month.

Mods lasted as long as yours, nigga. Bro. Yeah, exactly. Bro. Bro. This is why you can't beef with 50, bro. It always comes back around. It always comes back around. At least I'm not doing the time. What's the Tyree shit? What's Tyree's doing? You think you gonna take this from me? I would shoot, stab, and kill for mine. Wow. I would shoot, stab, and kill. For his what?

For the child support. Oh. He don't want to pay that money. He don't want to pay the child support. Yeah, but he's devastated in California. You know better than stay in California. You know that sign right there when it's in Hollywood? Yeah, yeah. That's been held up by the bones of hoes. That's time by the balls of hoes that have traveled all across America.

To be in Hollywood. I didn't know that. To be more successful. Damn, it's crazy how that works. They traveled from Iowa. Oklahoma. Because someone told them they were special. No, they traveled there. Yeah. Wow. To meet someone and ran out of gas. Yeah. To meet someone and they met them. Yeah. And they just, you know, to support that Hollywood sign, they used the bones. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow. I had no idea. It doesn't always work out. Sometimes you got to teach high Pilates. Yeah, that's advanced shit. Because if you ain't got nothing else going on, at least be doing some Pilates. You see how he got quiet when I said he didn't last long. I'm in a happy relationship. She's not legally in America. You got Trump's number, you going home and you keep complaining. Girl, you try that shit, we're going to make America great.

Bro, I told you this, but the amount of people from Trump's team that asked me to get in contact with you, bro, the amount of people, they're like, yo, we just need him to come out to many men. How many people hit you up? Well, yeah, I got contacted a few times. But when I didn't, I wasn't able to do it. The last time that they was calling because I already had previous obligations, they was coming to New York. Yeah, to do MSG. Yeah, and they had reached out to us.

Well, they went with Tony Hinchcliffe, I think, and that went well. Tony's the comedian who performed that. Shout out Tony. He's garbage in the water. He's not from New York. He didn't understand. He went, wow. I was like, yo. He said shit, I wasn't sure it was okay. Like, I say shit all the time. I'm like, whoa, what the fuck was that? I'm like, yo, maybe I should not have been there. The way he went off, he went off.

Yeah, he went off. Shout out Tony, man. Everyone gets these jokes, baby. We got to disrupt things at points. Now, so when they reach out, okay, first of all, when you see him get shot. Yeah, I'm like, oh, shit. I didn't know what was going on, but I never seen anybody. Trump did some other shit. He went down and they had that picture. Did you see, like, under the leg? Yeah. That little picture and shit. And then they was putting that on the news. And then when he got up, he was like, fine.

That's a little shit. I was like sinking into the couch that I was in at the time because I was like, this shit did it go. You see the fist fight? Did you have any PTSD for that? No, no. That was... Because it was happening. It felt like everybody else didn't know that it was happening. Because the people didn't run. Yeah, they were still cheering. They didn't... In the back. Yeah. They stayed there. You know how in a nightclub something happened and they can...

not even hear it because the music is playing so loud, and then you see everybody running. So when you see nothing, nobody moving, you're like, yo, did that shit just happen? What does it feel like when you get shot? Like a piercing. Really? It's moving fast, so it's like getting a big pierce. Really? But it burns, right? Yeah. This is the gunpowder. Interesting. Okay, so, and then, that, I don't think that was, the injury was big enough for him to...

Feel anything. I don't think people know his story when he got shot. It's like getting a piercing. But you got shot face. He was getting shot. And correct me if I'm wrong. you're like trying to dodge the bullets. Yeah, I got shit in the hand. He's like moving, trying to move away from the guy, point blank shooting at him. Then he still had time to get in the car.

Take his gun out. No, I was in the car. Oh, he was in the car. So then he points his gun at the guy. The guy shoots his hand. Shoots the gun out of his hand. That's why he likes action movies. Then you can't do nothing. Oh, you can't pull the trigger beads your whole hand. But imagine having that wherewithal. Somebody's shooting at you and you still have the... Your brain don't stop working. If you react to the noise, the response, and then you...

Like your survival instincts kick in. Yeah, you start moving around in the backseat. And what a crazy coincidence that that guy is just like through a few weeks later, like something happened. Yeah. What's happened to people who involve themselves in lifestyles? Yeah, it's just so insane. That's scary. That's scary. That's scary. You know what I'm about to say? Anything to piss you off today? My bad. Ha ha ha!

That was scary. That was insane. It's all on YouTube. He didn't say nothing everybody didn't say. Wow. It's crazy out here in these streets, man. So that was happening in Queens. that whole time. Yeah, yeah. I was just in Manhattan, bro. We were going to, like, youth basketball leagues and stuff like that. It was cool out here in Manhattan. You know what I'm saying? It is part of the...

you know, like the more extreme part of the experience. Was that the first time you'd ever been shot at? No. No, it was the first time I hit like that. Yeah. And do you think it changed your trajectory? Like, would you still be the same 50 Cent you are today if you didn't go through that? No.

Wait, what changed? Well, after following it, not changing the... But like psychologically, what changed in you? Oh, really? There's no... What's the name? You didn't have to... I didn't even know how it works without responding to it. But when I come back to make the music, the themes are real up. Ah, hmm. Get rich or die trying. They're looking like I could die before the record even comes out because of the threat level, the things that's going on at the same time. And then you go on.

This would be a good time to change the narrative, right? You just got shot nine times. You gotta be saying the same shit you were saying. But saying the same thing is... Made it true. Made it authentic. Do you have to like... Immediately afterward, are you going, okay, I got to show strength right now, like in who you are? Are you doing the fight, fight, fight? I wasn't even thinking that. You know, look, I was more on not allowing them to see me hurt.

You know what I mean? So I was like EVA-ing them. I wouldn't let them come into the hospital. Even who? Yeah, yo, Tony. So you didn't let Tony come to the hospital? Uh-uh. Tell him I'm good. I'm going to be all right. I'll get on the phone. Yo, you all right? Because I had the braces shot in the face. So I'm like, yo. Kanye's trying to copy your whole shit. Yeah, he to the wire.

That was only a car accident. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, get your eyes open. Get shot the fuck up, bro. It's not the same. It's not the same. Nah, but it's actually more dangerous. The car is more dangerous than the fucking...

I take my chances in the car, bro. Technically speaking. Yes, it is. But stay on it. So you even, that's interesting. You're even showing strength to your team. You're telling them, you don't want them to see you work at all. Right, because they would always follow me. They would always listen to me.

So if I tell you I'm a'ight, but then you look and you see I'm shot, my head shot, I'm shot in the face, legs shot up, shit, like, you know you're not. You can tell me you a'ight when you got a hole in your face, and I'm just like, nah, you got a hole in your face. All right.

So I'd rather them not see me like that. This is the human instinct thing that I'm always so surprised by. It's like usually someone in that position want to be surrounded by the people that love and want to protect them. And you're constantly in leadership mode. You are constantly reading. Yeah, at that point, because they've always been under me. Before, we was on the corner. That's why it seems like he doesn't stop talking about me to a degree. Because he'll look and go...

He said that was going to happen, and it happened. But he's saying that about... Everything. Yes. That's... You know what I mean? And he's like, yo, let me see what you... Yo, listen, you better listen when you say shit, because shit be happening. Yo, there's a time... First of all, you guys are hilarious together. When we were leaving Dre's, the meme came to life. We were leaving Dre's, and then one point, I think you go...

He was saying some shit, and then you popped up, you're like, why are you saying fuck me for? We literally watched it. It come to existence. He'll say anything out of his mouth. Because we've been around each other for so long, he's just like... Whatever he calls shit. Yeah. Whole wars and shit like that. And go, yo, you know why? Because he was saying this about you.

I was like, but I didn't tell you to do that. What the fuck did you just slap this man's kid for? You know what I'm saying? Like, let's go. Wild shit that happened. Yeah, that was crazy. That was crazy. What happened? I'll let him talk about it. You talked about the house pit on fire. Talk about the shit I didn't do. No, at this time, I'm afraid of Ye-Yo. Ye-Yo will still put that work in. There you go. Yeah, man. He talking about Jimmy Hedgeman. Yeah.

So he had beef with Jimmy Henchman, and then they were out. I think he was at Rucker Park or something like that. It started at Apollo. Oh, it started at Apollo. And then they see his kid outside. Oh, no. Somehow, apparently. Jimmy Hedgeman's kid got smacked. How old's the child? I think it was like 16, 17. Yeah, 16, 17. You can slap that at 16, 17. Okay. With a hoodie on. Yeah. See, with a hoodie. You look like you went to shit. Yeah.

He can't help himself, dude. He literally cannot help himself. I don't have a problem with these guys, man. Like, this is one of the things that I've become involved in all of this shit. I'm not there, man. I'm in Connecticut. You know, just what Jedica said on the record, right? You're in Connecticut. I'm in Connecticut, bro. I get involved in this shit. They said I was in the truck. Yo, isn't it hard for everybody to love you?

Everybody loves you now. And even when you beef with people, if they come back, they're kind of corny. This is not the position you're used to. No, it's love and fear, though. I think people are afraid of them, too. It's love and fear. I think it's a different... The fear used to be, like, violence, and now it's...

public humiliation. I think more people are afraid that you'll get on their ass no ditty. I don't want people to joke. I don't want, I don't get anything out of them feeling like I'll be violent. Yeah, I don't think you'll be fine. That's not the goal. Tough is not the goal. I look at the what's the name? The social part is me just having a voice.

Got it. The audience, they look, and I'll say things and go, oh. And they may be like, I wouldn't say that about that person. Yeah. But who I see that person as, they don't mean enough for me to not say it. Do you understand? Because I don't take myself so serious. Yeah. So I definitely don't take them that serious. Gotcha. I'm looking going, come on, bro. You had a couple of records, man. Fuck outta here with that shit. Like, you know what I mean?

That shit matters on a day when we're thinking about the records. Yeah, but outside of that. Yeah, outside of that, it doesn't matter. You're so funny. The second the shit happened with Jay. And I knew it too. I went to your page. I was like, I know he's going to do something. And you were promoting a show, and you were like, the caption of the picture was, I don't know why y'all here, but I got my residency coming. No, wait, wait, wait. Just wait.

I'm going to wait. How did you wait for me to do it and then be angry with me when I do it? Later, when you go, oh, okay. The people that were there, immediately. I'm talking about the shit jump to 400 responses as soon as I can refresh it.

And I go, 400 responses, and I look, and they go, yeah, for don't think, wait till it's your turn. This is not. And I'm like, well, goddamn, you just want everybody to go down on that fucking boat, don't you? It's a good thing I was never in none of these parties. I'm like, what is this? It's not an issue.

But you see that, you get, you people, they enjoy that shit. Like, I think anything that they think is negative, I don't delete people. I don't block people. Oh, you got to keep them around. Yeah, because they changed their mind. I don't need you to be deleted.

When you change your mind. You change your mind, you're going to roll with the shit that's going on. What about like people, comments that are just like, I'm just trying to ruin your day. I'm just coming here with negative shit. You don't block that? It can't matter. If it matters enough for you to block them, it means they will affect them. Yeah, don't let them affect you. Don't let them...

I'm just saying it's like- They take that as a win. Yes. That's their dub. They want you to block that. Keep that as a win, but I'm serving my piece of money. It's like, I don't, if you're not coming here, if it's not constructive criticism, then it's like, it's poison and you just don't want to be here. That's fair too. You can do it. But I mean, the ultimate W is they keep on.

commenting nonstop and you just laugh I know that people think that way about me though I know that that energy is there that's true because you do give like you kind of poke The bear a little bit. So it's like, yeah. Look, if you can't, if it's not going to. I'm not like asking for that. There's a way that, see, because you don't feel that. Yeah.

Because when you're in the public space, you feel it all the time. Yeah. So there's a, because everyone has a right to a public opinion. Of course. So when they do that, you see that, you go, okay, cool. And then, look, if someone had a negative... energy towards you or felt a certain way, you go, why you feel that way about me? Because what did I do to make you feel like that? You can feel it. Me, if they feel negative, it's just how they feel today.

I'm here to entertain for entertainment purposes. If it entertains them to be upset, they can be upset. If they want to be angry, they can be angry. And then they'll be entertained by it, and then later they'll see something that's effective that comes from me that makes them go, Maybe he was right.

So, you know, you can't really, when you're in a public space, look, look, this relationship, we was talking about relationships. Imagine you invite someone in, right? Because you date someone when you're in a public space. And...

You go out with the person. They see you with the person. What you just did is invite the general public to your house. And they're going to have a good time. They're going to have dinner. They're going to have drinks, everything. And then with time for you to let them go home, okay, guys, go home. They go, fuck you. We're not going home.

We're staying in your business. You should have never invited us in. And they stay there and they make up all kind of shit, everything. But you've given them the right to do that when you put this person into the book. Got it. This motherfucker's a joker. He's a joker and Diddy was just dressing up as him. That is really fucked up. Diddy was the diddler. Will you visit Diddy in jail? No, I wouldn't go. Do you think this might be too early? No, no. It might be too early, Diddy.

He just got there. He's not even saying no. But I'm saying once he gets like locked up, locked up, like once he gets sentenced, will you go out to the prison and will you visit him just for funsies? I don't know. You know, look. Because right now he can feel like I'm his enemy. He should. Wait, what? Why would he feel that way?

I mean... I'm not his enemy. The federal government is. Ah! Okay, but I mean, he could have multiple enemies, and he could... But I'm not his enemy. You could be on his op-list. I'm not why you're sitting in jail. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's not in the position because right now he's got to fight something else. Yeah, that's true. Okay. The lens is a little...

But if you have such a big platform and I'm going through this horrible thing and then you just keep highlighting this horrible thing that I'm going through, I'm looking at you as my enemy at the same time. Am I highlighting this horrible thing that you're going through that everyone else is not going through at the same time? It's not like every... Everybody doesn't know. We all do the same thing. We all have a million kajillion followers. Talk about TMZ. Are they ops? Yes. TMZ's ops. Yeah.

Unless they're promoting something good you do, and then they're the homies. Also, how often is TMZ reporting good shit? Before this. You know what I mean? Like, come on. Man, fuck these people. Fuck what they're thinking. You understand what I'm doing?

I get it. And they're going to pay me for this shit, man. Big money. That's right. No, I love this shit. Hold on, Dick. We here for that shit. Wait, wait, wait. The lens, the way you see it, look. They said the downfall of Diddy, and he hadn't had a downfall. He wasn't even convicted of anything. Oh, that's right. He's in a sense of proven guilty. The docs that have already gone out.

have already done things to damage the public opinion. There's a responsibility to have to die. So the documentary you're working on, what does a highlight in this documentary? I have a responsibility to make it as fair, as true. as possible. Right? And I'm not the director of the doc. I just talk to them about directing it the right way. I'm executive producing the project. Meaning I could get people that would...

not get on camera to get on camera to do it because it's 50 calling instead of it being this. You know what would be funny if you were like, I think he buttfucked all those guys consensually. I didn't make the whole thing about how it's not

He did it for love. No, that's the whole argument. That's what you're going to have to argue. Because the only thing, like, look, with all these accusations, you think he has a ton of things that he's facing in the criminal situation. Yeah. It's not all of that. Yeah. Until they have a super... an indictment or bring new charges. This shit is about Cassie and about the Lil Rod. Who's Lil Rod?

that was the one uh the producer he claimed it's another allegation yeah but those between that that's what he's actually dealing with not dealing with but you hear so much that it feels like forget about it nothing wrong having some baby oil

Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. A thousand bottles. Yeah. It's a little something wrong with that. It's a lot of bottles. It's a little excessive. Nothing wrong playing with it. You know what I mean? As long as it's consensual. Yeah. Yeah. How many people have different habits? Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. As long as it's consensual. Yeah.

But if you spike the baby oil... My experience with baby oil is you can't use a lot of it like that much. Yeah, yeah. Not a lot. What if you're trying to get into a place that's really small? But look what I'm saying. I'm saying to you... my whole body is all you like i'm like a fucking oh you slick and we only use the quarter So what the fuck is the deal, bro?

Oh, you're going to lean into the tech side of it. Yeah. Because I think it'll allow me to do things that you wouldn't have to do practically. Exactly.
