Um, we did a whole episode. We were on our tests and our engineer was so high of cocaine. There's no there's no yeah, what the fuck is going home? Is? This is my head? No way. When you look at the eighties right now, stop, he's gonna be big. He's like, yeah, so Joe, does

it works? Pay pop has been very interested these past couple of months. So many albums is dropping, so many places, things I've taking place, so much antics. There's so much things going on. What has been the most surprising moment of these past couple of months? Whoever's back there? Yo? Were last? My most surprising moment of these months? Um, I don't know. I think we got I think this for real hip hop? What do you consider real hip hop? Let's just define that, damn. Why are you trying to

do that? You know what I mean by a hip hop? Real hip hop? I mean music we listen to, not just boom back it could be, but just kind of music we Love Literal Content has been a hell of a year, you know what I'm saying. No, Rea's album has been amazing. I'm so proud of them. Like, like, I listened to the album twelve Midnight. That's the new Ship. So twelve Midnight, I'm listening to your album. I'm blasting it. You know, your wife think the record about? Is the

record about? I go everywhere with us, I see up that's everywhere. My daughter was singing that, let's play that slap man, I mean your head. So how you feel about the success to the album? I just actually I didn't even paid attention to any like success about it. I just wanted to, um, you know, make a body of work and throw it out there. I got a chance to do it. I got a chance to uh get with Massive Pill and Bahamas and they you know, they rented a big studio. They're out there. You know.

I think they're doing a compilation or something, a mass of Hill retreat. I believe it like something like that. You know, record labors didn't do that. And so what I'm saying, I remember, you know, recording for the Firm album. They would you know, take us to Bensville or their flyers to like Miami when Miami was like that place to be. So you know what I'm saying, Like when Forrest recording and for for you know, the see it comes to fruition. But um me, period, I just like,

I just like the competitiveness. I just like that. That's what's going on. Everyone is on. But you know what I'm gonna tell you, Joe, it's been so much good material. I think, like nine I think I think at least seventy of it has been overlooked. No because it's too much. No, I think I think we we I think this has

been an amazing year vice Verte for everybody. Man. I mean, like you could tell you know when I went to your album release party, like that's the first time in so many years we used to do it like that. But people are so proud of what's going on in the hip hop scene. When you got NAS, you got Ray Kawan, you got the Mike songs, you got a Z, you got you got may Know, you got your Fat Joe, you got everybody I turned out and that and that's just that. That's where the state of hip hop is

right now. I'm loving with hip hop. This This is the happiest I've been in a long time about hip hop in a long time. Not the happiest ever, but this is the happiest I've been in a long time about hip hop. You know, I can't get over to push your t album. And I still love the Drake album. I still you know everything. I mean, you know every It's been a lot of hot albums, man, a lot of hot albums dropped. It's still the old drink Champs, still the old drink chap. It's not always been the

un something for that's Sunday gonna be around. Sunny was eating a bottle. Sunny was eating a bottle. Sunny is still sweating profusely. As soon as I've seen Sunny eat the oysterself, that's the first time. That's some big pun shpig did that fucking with us, like get out of you know, yeah, he would, you know, Palmer was crazy.

He would open the bottles like that. You know that, I've really seen puny chops and apple sauce like I'm I've never I never thought that he didn't for you, like because he pork jobs and that was so and I was like, I didn't know there was a thing and everybody was like everyone big guns in nightcone cost Yes, it's it's it's it's an amazing thing. Because now I look back, I sit back and I get to reflect back.

We've been in this game over twenty years, and I'm like, whoa, Like, we really brought a motherfucking top five icon in this you know, I mean some people consider him top five. You know what I'm saying. Some people say them number one. So what I'm saying to you was like we you know, really was with him, you know what I'm saying. Beautiful thing. So now that watch you haven't one? Is that a half a million? That's a cool million, that's a straight

mon that watch. I don't know. I don't joy your way out of it, and I don't want to say speak you're getting live, So for a million, let's make some noise. That was like, what like, this ship been through the hall? Is not queer? Is not no normal ship? No, it ain't normal. But you know what I see you had it, did I've seen when and got it after that, when it got it, I've seen that after that. But you know it's like since I was fourteen, I've been

hustling on the streets just to get fly. You know what I'm saying to me, success is being fly every day, wharing whatever we want, smelling how we want, eating like we want. And um, I ain't gonna let nobody to t that. I ain't let nobody to churn that. When the fucking when I got caught for the taxes, I remember my fucking accountant came in. The first thing he did was looking at my house on the water. He was like, Oh, no, you got to get out of you. I said, no, you got to get the fun out

of my house. Nigga, I ain't moving, you know what I'm saying, Cause niggas, you know, you get these accountants ain't trying to make you cut back and no that. I'm like, hey, man, i've been rich, I've been broke, I've been rich, I've been broke. I've been rich, I've been broke. I don't give a funk. You know what I'm saying. As long as we're eating, were living, we're living good. You know what I'm saying. I don't care, man.

I love being flopped. That's just the bottom line. Man. Now, now it's your favorite part of the game because it feels like it feels like you're kind of more comfortable dropping singles on the hair in there tip like because you know it's just that's the all right. What happens is we just gotta adapt to what's going on now. I've always been a hustler businessman. I'm gonna do what's better for the money. Like, but at the end of the day, I love putting out albums and bodies of work.

Like if albums were still selling a hundred thousand first week and all that ship, we all would have been rushing to do albums. But the truth is, you put out a single, like do you know all the way up won't stop like it like it won't keep selling. And the streaming, So I don't think people have gathered the thought of streaming. Streaming is open twenty four hours a day while we're sleeping, somebody's playing it and we're making money and then it keep going. It ain't about

first week sales no more. With streams, It's about niggas keep listening to it and golf a bits. Something happens that goes viral, and niggas just keeps streaming and streaming and streaming, and before you know it, you you like blo it made me so much money, Like I don't it just keep making money. Thank God for Guzy who you introduced me to No Land. You know that. You know he changed my life with the streaming game, so

you know it. You know I love making albums with Dre album we two songs away, two songs away from a classic, two songs away, Like this ship is really last time you're even this ship is really becoming ridiculous. And it's because the state of hip hop, your album being five fire, Nasum being fired. You know, all these jay Z, Beyonce album, all them ships being fired made us look at our ship and be like yo, our ship got to be super fired. And that's where the

game's at right now. As you know, as much as success as we got right like us, I think everyone has a little bit of pettiness still, right. Do you think jay Z dropped this album on the same day as nas on purpose? Like, I mean, this is just industry inside of it that people hearing you don't know you're saying that there's no facts, no facts, no facts. This is no facts. It's weird to drop the same day.

Let's just give it that, you know what I mean, It's it's it's an ill coincidence, you know what I'm saying. But still, but their friends. I see them at the Grandis together everywhere. What's some Beyonce is trying to be high. No one could be high and no those together, that's a joint you want to see for the be harvest, just go say something about be honest and oh my god, coming we're talking about your mother's mother's mother's mother. Know.

I was looking at crazy. You know, I was like I was looking at um looking at the front door. Now I wasn't looking at the front door. I was like, all right, let me, let me just subliminally say, um, A big artists performed that MTV Awards and this year and they now give me, give me, give me, give me, give me a single. I don't want to give me

the single. I don't album. So anyway, I've seen the big artists performed that got like an army, right, but I've seen him performing That army was there and it was all like, um uh, the game less being community. You know what I'm saying. That was their army. You're saying I couldn't Yeah, I couldn't believe that I'm looking at it and I'm like, wow, So all all these people who've been telling me to suck their dick and all this up on Instagram, I'm like, Yo, these dicks.

You know, it's crazy one. So you know who knows, who's crowded whatever? Every who's the b Hives? Yeah they're crazy, but you don't want no smoke with them? Well, we caught smoke. We caught No, I caught a lot of smoke when we when we did that last dream chapters about we never we never, we never settled that we never was crazy because we addressed it. But it was on our you know. Because this is the first time

Joe's gonna be on the Revolt. Yes, that's crazy. It's the first time on the white people working for us. I don't know, I don't know. Yo, you on every stage on just audio. Then you've been on YouTube with us, and now you now you take the most Revolt. Know that I'm the biggest nick in the game. So it's just congratulations to you to have me on. Then you put me in the no frail section. So yeah, I want to describe your party because when you told me my party, you damn. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I totally forgot because we're just clapping hands, Holy motive Waker Moti. So we had to clear that up. So now what happened exactly? We got on when you said you said we see slack, right, because I mean, we talked about you know, yeah, we're gonna do this again. We have to because this is so whatever. Always we talked about daddy, ain't he coming up in the Bronx and always telling me, you know, you are the leader or whatever the case may be. And you know, I

was happy for him. And then long story short, I told the story about how way he blew up, he broke my heart. I was so happy for him that when I seen him at a Reggae Tones show that I was with Norri, the nigga act like he didn't know me. He was like and and I was like, Wow, this nigger could be a little bit more more. I'm gonna lay you. But at the same time, I try to give him street credibility and say, Yo, that nigga

used to be in the streets. Now jay Z said he hustle fifty cents said even fucking pit Bull City hustle, Toad Jodo hustle, Norrick so I was trying, like not trying to play a lot of people who can cosign that. These people, I was trying to get credibility, and then you know, they ran with the only thing they could say is like, y'all fat Joe's ratting this and that. How about something in the street twenty years ago? To me, if you're a rat, you put niggas in jail, you

know what I'm saying. So I guess they ain't understand the podcast and the culture. You know what I'm saying. Wilson's you sorry, listen, listen, listen. So his fans, I don't know who the funk they are. You know, they called me ten thousand mama beatos. It was bad mama. Based on that might this is was going hard on

my ship. But let's be so like that. The average artists would will see that and see these kind of like threats or something like that and will say, you know what, I'll chill, well, you had to do a movie, a series or Netflix. She's gotta have it. Part two. Go back and one of the first things I've seen is when you land you landed in the craziest hood in Puerto Rico. They literally tell you do not go to this hood, even to other Puerto Ricans. What made you feel that need to go? I didn't need to,

It's just that's that's what you need to. I mean, you felt like that it was somebody's gonna hurt me, you might as well come to Lapella and hurt me. And they're like, I'm in the back part, like I'm underlock, but I'm not. I'm not in the front smiling in the welcome to the Lapella sign. I'm in the rocks. We're fucking uh hec a Loto was shooting the dope and the conduct that movie. I'm man like, you know,

you better stay out of there. You know, no cocaine, No, no staying out there again, something out there, and they've showing me number love. I don't I don't even know what to tell you. Every way I went it is nothing but love at Joe, you know, Puerto Rican's love at Jo. Like, I don't know what niggas was thinking. So I'm thinking maybe it was like the barbs or

the media media, you know those niggas. You know what I'm saying, because but did you expect like any to get any like phone calls or any like did you expect it or you expect exactly the love got you. You expected that because I remember one time you was even if you wanted to keep it real with you. We're super strapped out there, like just in case and Nigga wanted to play funny. You know what I'm saying. My whole job is always coming home. I used to be in l A with the East Coast, West Coast beef,

super strapped, like I don't play with these people. I got to get home. I got three kids, I got a wife, I got a family. I'm coming home, so that means giving it to everybody. We're giving it to everybody. We're coming home. That's just the bottom line. For the record, it's no beef with like Puertter Weeko, no beef because you know how you know, I just wait, no beef Parter week and no people. I love worship Puerto Rico, my grandmother and my grandfather from Puerto Rico. I'm Puerto

Rican and Cuban. You gotta understand, man, Like I don't even know is there beef, Like there's no beeching misunderstanding. I think it was the media that took it in around it like Latin. Yeah, it did great for us. Yeah, because it took to that. What took you in that chat? I think it didn't help something. Man, I was the Spanish bomber shot randomly just walked in and was like, Oh, I'm not sure you talking about you. I'm saying what happened to me? I don't know if I told you

this story before, I might have. It's just famous. You know. I used to be scared to fly. So it wasn't to ten years after that I ever went and did a show. It wasn't a lean back of my career that I went to Puerto Rico to do a show. And when I went to Puerto Rico and did a show, I went on the radio to do my first interview, and do you know what the first question they asked me, They said, Yo, do you think you black? This is the first question Puerto Rico asked me. You know what

the first question? You know, the first I was like, I was amazing. Then I'm told Nick was it? That's what they said. Not stop, they're gonna saying that now. But that was the first question I was. I was, I was hurt, you know what I'm saying. So I told him. You know, they said no because we see you always with the black people and this. And I had the same problem when I was in jail. You know what I'm saying that. You know the first day this nigger came up in myself because they in the FEDS,

you can't get commissary. So I don't give a funk who you is. I walked in the fence with five gees cash in my pocket, but you couldn't get it. Two weeks. I don't care if you Bernie made on. So there's a line of niggas giving you to bananas, serial cup, if niggas got love for you, the whole line. Say, there was fifteen people outside myself. Twelve was black, three was Hispanic. Right, So then some spin and sticking the

leader of the Puerto Ricans, he comes over. Um, I started calling that nig a super bowl equal right, so that they come up in myself as a violation anyway for him coming up. He got these holes in his face, and you know he's a bad guy. You could tell, right, So no, no, So he tells me, yeah, fine, because for some reason they can't say five Joe. They always just say five yeah, fire right. So Nick come in, Yo.

He's a long story short. He's like, Yo, I see all the black dudes with you, and I know you from New York and the Puerto Ricans from New York, but over here we stick to your own and in Miami jail. Right. So he was the leader of the Puerto Ricans in the Miami jail or whatever. So I'm listening to this thing. I cannot believe what he's said to me. Right. So then he actually calls all the Puerto Ricans his son. He's like, so me e Lloyd did just said. So I sit down and I say, yo, Pappy,

let me explain son to you. The first thing you need to do is call yourself said English Spanish Bobby and the man. Of course, I cant through dinner, Cass and I've just seen the Okay, you're sorry. That's number one, Like your cousins in New York tell you, I'm not a rapper. Number two is I've been running nigga so long that I would have to give you a premy on the West Store of Crime for me to come in here for four months and you run me like

it would be the biggest thing in the matter. Yo, this is my first twenty minutes in jail, I was like, this would be like the Grannis, Like you would be the illest nigger I've ever seen on earth, Like cass you nigga, look at me. He started laughing. He was like, yo, what just know the boy equals ain't with you. And there I'm like, I that my nigga. I came in here dolo anyway, So you know that's just always been my So the same thing with the radio in Puerto Rico.

They was like you know and I was like, yo, be ill represent Puerto Rico and Africa, say all over the world. It's one thing. At one time. The red Ain't tone movement was justin Puerto Rico, a little bit in New York, in Orlando. That's when they asked me the question, you understand what I'm saying, like, nig I'm braving that Puerto Rican flag across the world. And for the record, I helped it. And when you said you

discovered that Yankee, we was playing around. If they actually looked as you said, you said you think you discovered that Again, I said, he ain't called me. So you was the first person to put them on a big part of his career whatever, MTV, And now I can look at MTV and he's on there and he's performing is with Time a beautiful times? Out of here? He's out of here. No, no, it's a different time. So what happens is, let's be clear about what's going on.

They talked about this twenty years ago, we just ain't believe it, And now it's the time. Latinos have to come the dominant demographics in America. So when you listen to how Many seven or you listen to straight black stations and they playing rings playing that record, it ain't just because they want to play the record, It's just they got mad lock. Tino's requesting it. This listen right now, it's merging you like it? Like that number one hit

in America. You got reggae tone and English rapping on the same song. It's the Time, one of the first records. It's the time. It ain't know it's what it is? Oh yeah, got that tell you something that you was ahead of your time? I believe so I believe the time. Not Jake what was his name, Jay Alvarez j I said, Yo, you were so ahead of your time, bro, you know what I mean? You was way ahead of your time.

We was ahead of our time. Everybody. See when we was playing the game, your watch is definitely ahead of the hold. What I'm talching didn't suck my dad. Listen, you know, I know what I'm talking about. What I'm trying to tell you is that we was ahead of our time, the whole hip hop community. So say Magic Johnson, he broke a record where he got one million dollars for playing one one year. Million dollars in the Lakers, the biggest ship you ever heard. Now you've got niggas

making two hundred fifty million. So at that time, we was breaking doors for these niggas to come get them two hundred thousand to fifty hundred fifty thousand. When we was getting five hundred that room about and doing three shows and one night trying to make fifteen hunted, we was opening the doors. We was ahead of our time. That's why the the climate is the way it is. That's why we kept fighting the holding out because we want a piece of that to fifty we were we

you aways restitu ship. This is like forty acres in the mule, like you know what I mean. We paid the door most of the niggas who paid the door to when jay Z said, oh the cold crush, paining do so the cold crush. They didn't get to see this money. We're seeing this money. Were still here do what we gotta do. And but we opened the door for everybody. Don't get that fucked up ever in your life. So um, you know this is what we do with you know guests, they've been on the show. U Alumnis, Alumnis.

We're gonna actually just the first nick. I haven't drink chance, I got that make some I just want to actually like random, random stuff that's happened in the hip hop right now. First hip hop porter, we can parade. You can blow one of these. I brought the hip hop to the port. We can parade and Fat Joe Big Punk, first rappers to bring a boxing in the ring. Felix Trinidad against Delay. You got your fire, not unless you ship so damn you me up there. I'm comfortable saying

no one to remembers. You got to say and I kept stopping you. You're gonna bring up hip hop topics, hip hop topics, so right now, Kodak Black young homie, he's out right, Oh that's crazy, um um Kodak Black. He just came home, right, young energetic dude. I like him. I love what he represents. And this rum is that he's turned it down a hundred thousand dollar shows because what's the reason? Huh, I don't know what what's the reason? Maybe got this reason? Maybe he don't know, I don't know.

I'll tell you a story that they said, there's reasons you want to make music. Yeah, I want to make Maybe you just want to make music. I mean artists is artists man, you know, Prince, Michael Jackson, everybody, Kanye, everybody got there on what I'm saying. JA dudes is turned down a hundred Maybe he's the plan to make two two hundred thousand, two hundred fifty thousand. I remember at one time Big Punt made the same money that

jay Z BA and the same thing. Jay z turned around and started turn it down and he acts for like a hundred fifty thous Nobody ever heard of that. It was it was you de band if he was getting forty thou right, he was like, yeah, I'm not moving without a hundred fifty thousand. They came and they gave him a hundred fifty thousand. They was like, I want two hundred and a private plane, and they started

giving them two hundred and the private plane. So there's some niggers that got a strategy that looks weird to us, but they hold out and they get what they want. He figured, y'all, I'm gonna still make that a hundred thousand when I put out this masterpiece album, I'm gonna be charging. They're just to fifty and killing. I mean, I guess that's his his concept. Me. I'm greedy. I'm taking anything. I've never got paid a hundred thousand showing it out there. I've had I've never had kid. I

ain't gonna lie. It was like it was I'm like maybe eight, but it was like he made a half a million the show that the biggest I ever made. Half of the station. He's not Africa. Africa, not that story he told us about that story. Yeah, I got paid, Keen. You know I got paid to get kidding that right. But you came back, so we got back, you know what I mean. There's a lot. I remember one time I called up flow Rider flow right with my brother.

I love him to death. I know what he does with the kids, him and um freezy over here with the bad football tournaments and all that. But I called flow Rider because I was doing the ball Mitzvah and I was getting like fifty thousand to do it. Them niggas just like, yo, we'll get flow flow Rider two hundred thous and it become to the ball mits. You know, flow Rider live across the street from the bar Mitzlah

across the street. And I was like, yo, Flow, they want you to come across the street so they can give you two hundred thousand. He was like, Joe, I love you so much. My price is for I can't go, I said, but no floor riding. Look at your window. I'm waving. I can't do it. My prices, my price. I was like Jesus Christ, like this, thinking must be making a tremendous amount of money. Go across the street

two songs, two hundred thou go in your flip flops. Remember, I gotta go there because you posted this on your Graham this is the blackout fifteen years ago. The other day it was was the anniversary of the blackout. Now what happened on this legend? Because you know a drink Chance fans ironically, they're young people, some some some holder, but some people probably don't know what the funk are

we talking about. So I would like the street basketball in New York at this time was the biggest thing, like like you see Dakeman, That's how Rutger used to be all the time. And um I was in there is the new Rucker, right, So um I was a boot Safari. By the way, I was a champions. Sorry, I was the champion for three years of the row. And jay Z decided to get a team and come

in to Rutger. I was really offended. I was in my feelings because I felt like, you know, when I went to the Rutger, it was almost on his way out, and I started bringing all the NBA name So I built the ship back up right, So his team is playing them. Nigga's got Lebron James, they got Jamal Crawford, they high school, they had the planet Earth with them and it was winning every game. He was bringing Beyonce

to all the games at the Rucker. Beyonce was sitting in the middle of Hall of Niggas was going crazy. So we we was bringing everybody to Stephan Malbury, Allen Novice and everybody something. Was it a little bit of like what is like a little I don't want to say hate, but it was a little it was a little hey. It was like, hey, why is this nigger coming in my ship? This here gott Beyonce say he filthy rich, he got everything in the world. Why it comes to my little Paul. We're fat Joe the king

to take my ship. So we all say it was hey, it was it was hey, petty petty, real pretty because at that time it was local for the cake. You know, we was like really on some bullshit. So in any case, he's winning, he's winning, you know, like Cinderella. Some ship they went and they winning back. Guess why he wins the playoffs? We win the playoffs Fat Joe jay z they played, so we're supposed to play the championship on this day. And then the blackout it was so hot

or whatever. The New York City had no power. There was over thirty forty tho kids on the street to see the game. Could park only hold a thousand people? This ship looked like Giants Stadium in the middlewe hall it was. The radio was talking about the game every two seconds, like craziest man. I don't even know. I mean fifteen years ago, years ago, two thousand three, two two thousand three is impeccable. You know that got that money,

that you got that different. So all right, let me just describe the situation because for those that don't get empowered, Jesus Christ, don't put the black out in the summertime in New York City, this is one of the biggest events is happening. It's in the daytime to the nighttime. But every NBA play it has to come through this for they write a passage. But before the NBA players, it was like went out there that day, not everybody. So Jay Z had lebron James Vince called Tracy McGrady,

um jamal. He had a bunch of niggas Chaquille O'Neil. So at that game he had Shaquille O'Neill lebron Ja. It was stupid. I had carl this alright, nobody ever knew this, right. I had Carmelo Anthony, young Carmelo, who was like, we just won the chick to uh Syracuse, Right, So Carmelo, Anthony, Alan Harrington, these stars Black and Puerto Weekend. You know, I love color. I had a Mari Scotto Maya. I had Stephon more Berry when he was the highest paid stept Stephon more Berry. I had Alan I of Sin,

I have Mike Bibby, Um, Zach Randolph, Um. You know. It was disgusting the coop. I had to have like a skip to my lu. We have Kareem, we we have everybody. At the end of the day, I had all the niggas, right, So what happened is he had all the niggas. The blackout happened. So what happened was the NBA teams started calling the players for practice. Practice had to start. It was getting late in the summer, right, so all his players, I knew, had to go back

to the NBA teams. My niggas was loyal to me, and they started in New York for the replay. It was happening next day, three days later. Two days later, I had my niggas, like everybody was ready sitting in the hotel. Half the niggas was in the park, like I didn't see them. I knew that they niggas had to go out of town. Okay, Joe, you're gonna way too fast. Okay, So you're saying the first game was yeah, but did sed reschedch you to the next two days later?

And that's why you said, I don't even have to speak about the because when we didn't about to play, we didn't even show us. Yeah, we was like three hours. They ain't come. They forfeited. They said jay Z had to go to Sancho Pay or something. So I'm like, that was hard. That was a hard excuse, you know, Yeah, that was hard the game. If you would be on the hood a yacht in the middle of Sancho Peg, you wouldn't leave too. But had y'all started the game

going before the blackout, no, it was gonna okay. But it's very like when you look at that history that the guy's plan um before the blackout, it looked like it looked like it was tension, big tense, okay on my BF. Look, I was a piece of ship. I ain't gonna lie to you. I was a bad guy, troublemaker, um um. I was looking for bullshit every second of the day. You know, this was my life at one point before RAP and my first eight years of RAP,

I was looking to fund anybody up. You know what I'm saying, And you know it probably would have been real tense in that game, man, Like, really, God did us the biggest favor you've ever seen in life, not letting the game happen. You know what I'm saying it was it would have took one call. It would have took one Yo. They jerked us, you know, for niggas

to run on the court and start the bullshit. But when you were scheduled just for you know, when you were scheduled rescheduled, no O G one showed up and like two of their players, John Strick and another player. I did not see any other players out there. Step On Malbury is in the middle of the court, Zach Randalls, all my niggas was in the court. Everybody was in the court. Jermaine O'Neil was there, like we have everybody, everybody we have. But if he actually chilled on Neil,

so be they'll be clear. There's a good probability they would have wanted if that first game went down and they had to kill on there, nobody could stop. She killer takes seven niggers on. You know, I was mad, I want to break she kills legs. You wanted to break his legs? Then I called him, I told Shocks will break his leg I need, I need to understand this shot. Uh you call Shock now listen. I see Shock the other day. I love Quigg put his hand

on you. Don't put your hand on my hands because like you're just too small to Shock the biggest nigg on earth. And I love him and everything. But that's how much I was in my feelings at that time. You know, you call how does this because somebody missed the lee just helping this guy? You call him just out of the floor. And I did it on the radio, like Shaq was up on the radio talking that blackout. The only thing that work was the radio. So he was up there Steve Style O g wan Shock and

he's talking about, Yo, I'm gonna do Fat Joe. I heard Fat Joe bringing y'all men. I was like, Yo, Shock man, I'm gonna break your legs you walk in that park. You know what I'm saying. But I was on some bullshit and I love Shaquille O'Neil. I worship him. It's just I was. I was a bad guy one time. This is it. It is the truth. Some voice the second game would have happened when you won by forfeit, right, because you said you didn't have to play it. Shaquille

O'Neil wasn't with them, we would have won. We would have won the second game. You know what I mean, because all my players was there. I had Alan Imason and Steph step Malbury in the back court with Mike Baby when Mike Baby was the author and the step was the guy to my nig had the old East Coast All Stars team ready to play. If you look up that year, every nig I'm telling you is the starters of the East Coast All Star Team was playing

them all am at that park. It was it was out of control what we was about to do out there, you know what I'm saying. Butschaquille O'Neal was the most dominant play of this era. Now Marlbury still has not let it go. Instagram, Instagram, you posted this. I love jay Z, you said, you said, I love o g One. This day brought us together, The blackout brought us together fifteen years ago. Now we got something to talk about.

We laugh about it. And now we're all business partners and we and we do great with each We love each other. So you know I put that up the nigga Marberry went bad. You know what I'm saying. He was gonna. Now I can't say what he said. I don't want to say what he said, but he went bad. I had to actually, and I love Stefan Malberry, I love to death. I had to delete his um when he was what he said. He went too bad. So you know, jay Z said, you could be like maul

Berry at the life, you could your life. I'm thinking this is the game, think about Maberry. Not only that, Baston Telfair was maul Berry's little nephews, his little cousin. We watched him grow up. I used to eat getting fucking chicken wings, right, and chicken wings with this little nigger. This thinger was playing for jay Z when he was the hottest young nigger coming out of high school in the city. So he was playing for them. So Step was mad as little nephews little cousin was he was

gonna kill that nigga. Step was gonna drop fifty points on that little nigga. They were taking them out like in one quarter. But we was offended. We watched the little nigga grow up and he when it played, you know at the time, the ops, you know, what I'm saying. So it was it was a lot of built in the anger. But fifteen years later and step on them all very such a allegen. He got statues in China, he runs a billion dollar company out there and all that. He had to go that bad on Instagram. Many he

went back, he went, he went there. I love Steph thought, so Joe, let me just ask you so, because um, you balance this kind of gill. You're probably the only person that what rule friend y'all went to term rial with with fifty and you're probably the only other person that could be cool with both of them, like the way you're cool with both or is that the truth? I don't know if I'm cool with both of them. I don't know if they if they you know, I

don't know if they both. Man, you know what I'm saying, because I heard the room. We're supposed to bring them both out on summer. I try to bring them both out of both heard my mother. You know what I'm saying. It's just like, y'all, fuck you. Your mother's a lesbian. You little you know now? Yeah, I mean didn't like bad like they went bad. So hold on, what I was gonna bring out, yes, but gonna before whatever record whatever, I have a remix. My ship was your fifth relax, y'all, relaxed,

let's do it for hip hop. And not only I got cursed out, but I got super cursed out because I didn't realize that EARV GotY is like he really got a problem with that situation. So Irv, don't bother nobody do his Hollywood thing where he called me and called me all type of ship and I was just like he was like, no, I call him both job check this out. Okay, I'm doing summer Jam. I'm headlining. I want you to come out of me and wrap and I'm bringing fifty cent out y'all fifty checked this out.

I'm headline and I really need you to come out with me. Do your blood, your gamester everything and guess what, I got your rule with us and we're gonna come out together. Okay, fun my mother, everything heavy right. But if this would have happened, if this would that would have to get Christian. Now I'm turning you. You say your boy Christian. I'm just a beautiful person. But y'all

want everybody get along. That would have been supposed this would have happened right that suppose you were called fifty nobody would have thought he would have say, yes, nobody supposed to call job, But what what records would you to bring them out together? Don't matter. They just would have bott where step upon me blowing on mine, and then joh would have came out and did this little New Yorker clap back whatever I was gonna we was just gonna go made the clap back. Did you just

say clap back, Joe? That was terrible kiss clapback directly. Many men might be the same as action, the same ship. They've been this and each other forever. You know what you gotta Yeah, what you gotta understand is I argue I have beat for fifty cents for seven eight years. This ship is wack this and each other, this and each other, and then everybody wanted this each other more and than this, and then you know what's going dawn when you see each other. You know what I'm saying.

All that is like played out to me, and I love and worship jar Rule and EARV you know what I mean. And I know they gotta feel a certain way because I'm cool. Like they they both told me we cringe when you see we see you in pictures with fifty cents. You're my friend, You're my friend, and I am their friend. Like I gotta show the seventh in Vegas and I'm flying back to New York to go to Irv's mom's eighty of birthday, Like these are really my friends. I funk with the Chanta talk to

every other day like Dad, my brothers. But I'm just not with the smoke. I'm not with it. It don't it don't benefit nothing. Me be from with fifty said, and him beat from with me don't better said nothing. Peace feels so much better. Man. Could we bring you in Cuban link together? No, you couldn't. But I'm glad I told you last time in church. So if he's really in church, I salute him because I fear God. You know what I'm saying. And and that's about it. With like fifty cent and I told you I don't

want to go in. I mean to relate. It was bad man. You know when you take people. And first of all, we was all born alone. Let's just go to this concept. All y'all niggas in the year was born butt naked alone. You ain't even know each other. Right, So now we all grew up dirt, poor dirt, poor welfare projects. Wiping my ass with toilet paper, no a cs, sleeping on the floor because it's colder. You can't tell

me about being poor nigger. I don't ate the kitchen sink rice with their with that like I've been broke, like I don't have pictures and when I was a little kid because we didn't afford the camera. That's how broke Fat Joe was. You understand what I'm saying. So now I get an opportunity with God bless me and put me in a position to help somebody else and make somebody else a millionaire, make him another a star,

make him a star by these niggas homes. Before I owned a home, I still lived in the department when I brought the nigga home. And for the niggas to do all that and try to destroy me. See so if you look at my Instagram on my birthday, all the comments were saying, yo, these niggas too, everything at this nigger, everything at the nigger. His best friend's wife was going bad, saying, you know he robbed and he did, like they try to destroy me in every way. Was

the big bad wolf. Nigga was thirty platinum smashing everybody. I'm the only nigga kept coming back at that nigga going, I know they'd be you understand. So when I when I see the opportunity and and and how generous and and the money and everything I did for these people for them to try to just cut my legs, you know what I'm saying. It's one thing to go in the football game, watch a football game and see and

theyga get hit hard in the football game. But you ever see nigga dive at the nigga's knees and you know, teryon breaking hurt. They're trying to cut his whole life. Y'all don't understand. I had albums coming out, hits Mega r in on the alls and the day my album come out when you normally go to high LANDY seven day was gonna bls talking about YO were homeless. This nigga shipping on us, y'all don't buy his ship funk. This nigga this this that they really was doing this

to me. I don't understand. If you want if it's a sess thing as trolls, they was trolling and me. Now, let's say Fat Joe as a man, Joseph Cardagina hip hop fan. If I was a fan of Big Bunnet and Fat Joe being a lot Dino superpowers and them being brothers and the wife a big pun said that Fat Joe's a piece of ship and he's robbing us in this, I would never like Fat Joe in my fucking life. Me being Joseph Carta China the hip hop fan, I'd have been fuck that, NIKEL fuck him. So you

understand what I had to go through. I had to walk hon Neity people like you and other people to say no, he's a great guy. Scott Pnomenon gives to the community, open businesses, computer to the schools, and play supporto Rico the man gives everything. You understand. People try to destroy me on another level, like I don't think you'll understand that because I understand, because I'm like yo, if I was the outside of sitting, then I'll be like yo, listen, Nigga's come back. So I had to

convince the people, yoll, that ain't what it is. Nigga likes. It's incredible. Man. It was a big fight. It was a big fight. You know, I had to overcome you know what I'm saying. It still bothers me. No, that's beautiful, man, that man. You're still here. Man, You're still here. Now. We stoke motives. We got the movie coming out Ken make some noise for that guy. We got She's gotta have it. We just wrapped up. She's got season two

with Spike Lee. Let me just tell you. Let me just tell you, right, so you know what I'm throwing him. I was actually my beard is right. I was actually Actually my flight was supposed to be for tomorrow for Angie's barber because Angie's barbecue and then go to your party. Who happened was we fell back on the revote episode, so we had to we gotta record recording you and recording jar role tomorrow. Oh wow, So um so I'm just flying up for your party. But let me just

tell you. You know, Joe was my brother. I love this guy. Say he's like, you gotta come to my party. I like, all right, cool, mash your my wife blocked out the dates. Did whatever way you want to sit next to Spike Lee or Mary j blis Jesus because you listen, listen to because the nigga Nori reacted like he was doing me the biggest favor. He was like, you know it's a dream check nigga, savvy you he

check this snigger. The nigger was, should I get on the plane because I will do this for just anything you want me, you want me to want. I said, wait a minute, no, thank you, I'm worse. You down. You want to sit next to Spike Lee, I'll marry you want to? Are you want? Come off? He lost me the other I I've already said on my birthday, he said, Man, I'll be thinking you're my real brother for my mother. That's how we are. And you know we've been we've been friends for what twenty years? You know?

Sometimes you know, how can people get trad you? We look amazing, but were baseball And sometimes I feel like you said, trade look like some family members, Like there's a couple of like cousins just like fun, some cousins Nis, some niggas just fu niggas and niggas's congregation all we all fuck niggers in our family and something that you can't believe it. Sometimes I sit there and I look at these niggers. One we all have that. Everyone. Help me tell you something. I worship my son right, love

him to kingdom. Come, he's my boy, man. But sometimes I'll be sitting there with this thing and he'd be doing some questionable ship to where I'm looking now, I'm just meaning like ship I ain't with. So I'll be sitting there looking at this snak. I'll be like, yo, you believe this nigger or something? No? Like not like Jeane, you could wait like that, Like this morning, my wife had to go to the airport. We didn't need to take it because my other cars in the shop. You know,

you have something to do. How are you gonna have something to do? My niggah? She gotta go with Are you fucking serious? My nigga? Like, I'm sitting and I love my son everything from my family. I worked hard for my family, But what kind of funking they lucky? I wasn't up this morning? Man. And then he took the next thing out to New York to I was like, oh, my God would kill this nigger. But it's some funked up ship, some fu ni ship it really is. Now

You're like, what, like, are you serious? Like you blessed? You blessed? To raise boil children's spoil you man. And then and then I don't know how because we didn't have nothing, so we try to give our kids everything, so we don't understand how. And this ain't just my problem. It's the problem of anybody who feels like Yo, they ain't have nothing. They're taking care of their kids when they grow up. They almost think like they the fresh prince of Bellet. I'll tell them all the time, we

are not. Shawn. Puffy cons this money run out his dog. You gotta bend you, roly dog. You're looking all right, you get fresh, you nery all the time. But chill, you know, because they got some new ship. I don't know if you know that the Dr dre Son, puff Son, a bunch of them is now they're taking privates the kids.

I spent tons of millions of dollars on that ship. We're not doing that ship. So I gotta you know this is ship. You know? Do you think it's a spoil you man? God bless him. They're beautiful, we love him, but they like it's a problem.

Makes a noise. For last year, on my birthday the hurricane hit, Fat Joe came to me in my birthday dinner and said, Noriri, we're good. I'm like, I'm trying to have to say what's happing at dinner with hip? Tell you said, yo? I read that the biggest suite with my wife to say you just right on the beach. I'm like, he's like, girl, YO, says like yo, but you know what fucked up? Was? I really trying to stick it out? But I really went the next Now that that came later, but I'm saying I really try

to stick it out. I really stood there. I was checked in the hotel that time. But you're good. We almost see back when you get he called, let me see you still got that. I was just begging you, you want drugs. Let's getting the funk out of here. I took the Canary nigger we took the dog the birth my mom's everyone was that a South Suda. That ship was showing My god, I was touching the button. He never seen no ship going. Oh so I see

She dropped him off and she was like and his wife was like, come, I was like, bigger les my dog dog Dogle wasn't it was pissy jumped on that plane too, and had had the cooldest pilots too. By the way, what the cooldst pilots the coolst p I don't know. We just I was just glad to get out of here because I've been to a couple of rican here, like Rikane on Katrina. I was here all that.

The ship sounds like like a nigger is just do you know how they do the the motorcycle like it ain't going nowhere, but it's just doing it. The smoke. That's how your windows if you never did one, you know you did one, Your your windows sound like a

nigger doing that on the motorcy. I don't think I did a serious I didn't know and was shot when the hurricane was approaching the way that the video looks Gil Green he he hooked that up in digital video, saying about like living in Miami was like you become an automatic weather man, like you know, like today, like me and Ma and man Um Sunday is on my balcony and we're looking like yo, like cool, looking's about

Like everybody that lives in Miami's a fucking weather and fucking especially let me check. I'll tell you. I'll tell you one thing. The weather girls in Miami, the bitches on tv O today humidity this, I'll be like ship from club as bad as don't show you the weather bitcheska home, what's

Let me tell you something when I would never build the house again in Miami, one from one from plantation from Scratchyo, my nigga, let me tell you something in New York. I don't board cribs, put construction paper on the window, and niggas is working twenty four hours a day. I built my house in Miami. Niggas be like, I go over there and nobody's working

and be like, Yo, what's up? Bye bye? Shraining? You know, my nigga, it's a fucking drizzle, you know, my nigga Tria Ba like, n't ebody get the funk out here and work. Almost chilled these niggas so many times, like Miami different. Man, what maybe two years of some of these niggas just taking any time that everything. Everything was excuse yo, it's raining, it's too hot for the roof to this. And I'm like, Yo, these niggas got excuses.

I can't do it. I'm like, I'm like, I like to pay, Like I like to just pay you and get it done. Leave me alone, let's do it. I don't like the bullshit the back of you. You know how many times I went up there. I was about to smash the niggas building when man years ago. Man, first I had the land and then we built the crib over there from it was the most beautiful crib

in the world. But I love the big the bag ts in the front and then you know, yeah, we had the stupid crib and then it's just the animals in the night. Yo. I swear, I swear Yo. My wife used to come and she's like, Yo, what the fun. I'm like, Yo, sean sounds like two ages is fucking Yo. My nigga, willna tell you one thing I had yo the sounds yo Yo, listen to me. Yo. I used to say, Yo, hurricane, it's gonna be tigers and zebras running out here because farms and then here you hear ship,

different animals. My name, but let me just say yourself. I'm sorry to cut you. One thing about Miami is if you're ever just looking around, there's always like a bird that flies around and you just be like, this motherfucker's worth seventy billion dollars and he's just flying around like you haven't seen like like pet down in Miami. Like I grew up. My whole time was watching that ship and I kill's scared to come about my balcony.

And I like, yo, I bet you if a nigga cast nigga seventeen beautiful parents, like I didn't say expensive ship you see turning around. Have these things have in the cocaine cowboy days? These dudes had these tykes, and I can tell you something. They used to be some brad coons in my crib. It's a little different. Nigga. I was so trapped, my nigga. I was so strapped. I used to watch these niggs. Watch these niggas the window, looking at these things. I'm like, y'am a chill. These

niggas man worked the mother. I'm gonna kill his niggas. Niggers come through fucking garbage up these it's big and they ain't scared. You kicked the window of the door. The niggas just looking at you, like, come at you, come at you. I'm telling you, my nigga had beef with the raccoons everybody. I had to get out of it. I thought I wanted quiet life. I went out there my day. I was like, Yo, these niggas, these nigga is trying to die over here. Something. You moved out

of Florida. I moved into into deeper in Miami. Band there's the sirens that no. I got a crib on the wall. I'm in the island now in Jersey, I just to have beef for the geese. You know, the geese. I don't like none of these people. I don't like none of them because the don't come at you like they come at y. You have beef with the geese. And then you killed one of the biggas and that's a federal jail. You might as well. That's like a hate crime. You hit one of them niggas, You're done.

So what what has it been like the biggest difference for working with Rock Nation from like any other management company you've ever had. Shout out to des rate it's a birthdate today, God bless your des I bought of the biggest flowers is bigger than this table. It was the most she was like, yo, you something else. It was the abundance of fly. It was the biggest hit. You have to see thousands of dollars on these flowers. Big ship, because she saved my life and she structured

me right. You know a lot of times the way we thought you did this A lot of times the way we work, we thought we was doing it right. But they call that ship homeboy management and all that. So you need people. So what you've got the differences for all you aretists. I know you are thiss be watching these young boys. Listen. The difference of just having your homeboy managing you that's supposedly smart and somebody who's already in power, is there's people trying to get to

you that don't know your homeboy. It's cold Game, it's Corona Bear, it's McDonald's, and they're trying to throw you this check, but they don't know your man, or they don't want to deal with your man. So the best thing was that that opened so many doors to me where I was able to do business for so many different people. I normally couldn't live because I was twenty years in the game and wasn't doing these deals. And now I'm over here doing these deals, you know what

I'm saying. So they opened a lot of doors for me, and it's it's really about the artists up there. To me. Of course, you gotta work your end of the bagging and they gotta work. You gotta be popping for anybody to make a dollar off of anything. If you ain't popping, like Chris lightly rest in peace. He was the king. But once she was popping, once you let then he

go by. So you got you gotta understand if you're not let if you're not moving, if you're not in demand, that you can't really complain that niggers because they can't do nothing for you. But once you let them, niggers can go get that bag. We call that low hanging fruit and ship right there. You know what I'm saying. Steps it's always facts. We can put nigg y'all twig We can put niggins twins like fun. I'll tell him in the man somebody bothering him. Somebody bothering my nigga.

That nigg over here, he's looking at me. You ain't see his face distrusted. I'm gonna give your pa drink. Never did I never. I'm missing the change. What's your size, Joe? What's your size? Your side? Swell, bro, we got we got, let's bring it on the table. I don't think yourself. I don't know if this happens everyone, but it's always on my episode. That's rights always. So why people telling you how you like? Because you know, like people, Joe, your people. People see you know, like my friend is

Noriega and I'm in the lifestyle with the stars. Cool leagues, be like, oh, put me on nad. You need to put you on, like you have to put in the work yourself, like labels have to look for you. You don't go look for a lady, you know what I mean? Like like people think like, oh put me on, what we put you on? You want to blood? You want to be blood. You want to show him your mixtapes that has three D views like no, like people want to don't want to put in the work, you want

to see. I'm gonna tell you the worst niggas, niggas that are actually killers the decide to rap like killing the actually suck at. They actually kill us. And they the worst niggers you ever heard in your life. But they convinced the day the best and they got four niggs they got with them telling them they because killers. I have to be like, yo, my man, what's up? No? No, they can keep on your job. Yo. I can't help you, yo, So what's up? What you mean you kill yourself? My dead?

What's up? Then? Already? Like all lead you know put my life in danger. And I know these niggas is kill us, but they're the worst rappers I ever heard in my life. It's nothing we can do for you and they've been through their life for real, it's the

congratulations and happy birthday. Brother, I'm just like real life like because because you've been forty since I was twenty, Like, like, do you feel like they got him under pressure and tender the candle to like rappers with have more talent get I'll work by the ones that have a little bit less talent and they make it. I don't think

that's necessarily to know. I think point I see that the way in a way, I feel like because the niggas said, I know my son nig's crap, but it's like you put it out a song abo, nobody's waiting for even less than a song, nobody's waiting for your music. Oh bro, keep dropped, all right. The point is that the record industry, it's the same corny niggas, same corny system. So what they do they're not signing niggas, they're not

A and R and niggas, they're not breaking niggas. What they're doing is they're looking at the charts and they looking and they say, oh, ship, there's a little nigga named Twin that Power nineties six is playing them a hundred fifty times ninety James is playing them a hundred times a week, not all the streams, and they're coming over here. Then they go and they signed you because you already let the proof is in the putting that

you're gonna spread around the country. But the problem I got with that, right, it's after you come from nothing and you're making yourself, telling your life story, you're putting your heart into music. A nigga coming stand next to you when you get your plaque or your award like they did something, like they's some executive, some ill nigga. We gotta respect, some nigga we gotta look up to,

like they really did something for the coach. And no, nigga, you looked at the chart you've seen you was hot and fucking Biloxi Um or Mississippi or I had the whole nigga, and you went over there and you signed the nigga. The nigga was gonna blow anyway independently. He was streaming off the hook. So you go over there and now you're looking like you're a superhero, like you did something you ain't really a and all break any artists,

that's what you did. So all artists out there just know you gotta be lit first wherever you're front of you from North Carolina getting lit there, if you're from fucking Georgia, getting lit there, and it's gonna spread out, simple as that. I saw something and it's so funked up for you up, it's so fucked up. You don't even have to be litting your own town. You SoundCloud rappers know most of these guys ain't litting what happens.

But because I know you gotta go and I want to, I wanna, but you know, always been proud of you, but recently I've been been able to be proud of you every single day. So I wake up every morning my favorite sports show in the world, First First Take, Yeah, and every day on first Take they promoting you. September three, you're gonna perform. We're gonna rip that ship down down you go, but you can watch. It's gonna it wounna be ugly out there. We're gonna welcome them to New York.

It's an honor to do first Take because that's everybody's favorite show and um, and it's gonna be crazy. Man. I got I got some surprises coming out with me. You know what I'm saying. And we're gonna go out there and rip it down and put on a good show for them. It's an honor for me. They could have picked anybody that's everybody's favorite show. Snoop Dogg would have did it. You would have did it. Anybody would

have did it. You know what I'm saying, because there's a lot of people claim they're a kid in New York, a lot of and listen, they could be kings in New York. They could be fifteen kings in New York. But when ESPN first take a guy named Stephen A. Smith who was from Hollis, Queens, Max Kellerman, Molly uh, and they've hand picked my friend Fat Joe. You can be modest, but I'm gonna say that's clearly saying this is the one of them, if not the king, at

least one of these one of them kids. Yeah, he's one of New York because in this case it's it's not chess, it is checkers, and on Checkers you can have more than one kid. I'm one of the kings in New York, no question, that's what New York. No, No, that's a fan. It's one of the kings in New York. You know that, and you know it's a honor. Man, It's honor. There's no way to explain it to you.

Is an honor. We worked real hard for that. But you know, I'm just glad they picked me, and I'm I'm gonna make them happy and we're gonna make a movie out there. You know that's the bottom line. God damn taking man man fat your Drea Chip flat my hotel's book that I'm going out there just for you for your birthday happy. Ask you a question.
