Do they face? Oh yeah, West Coast is in the building.

We are celebrating fifty years a hip hop and I couldn't see no better way to celebrate the West Coast versions of the hip hop. It was my brother motherfucking worried Mother now Super just performed at the fifty year Anniversary Hippie although leminations be clear, because although that was like one of the official parties of fifty the Anniversary of hip Hop in Yankee Stadium, this wasn't the only party.

Sounds yeah, and I think they tried.

I think with hip Hop fifty the Yankee Stadium, people try to do what try to include everybody that they had connections to.

You understand saying, but I saw that's a long asked question. How do you feel about the hip hop?

Charlemagne had a really good solution for but it was dope the way it was done, you know, there at the Yankee Stadium.

His solution, it was a good solution.

He said, you know, let's keep it moving and then the South do a special fifty year reunion for the South, the West Coast do a fifty year thing for the West birthday for the West Coast, just.

Like, you know, just everybody doing it.

So it's one, you know, so everybody can feel good about it and say, okay, we did that. But even though all you motherfuckers is respected, well respected, and you are counted with this fifty years of hip hop, because.

I ain't gonna watch you, I know, didn't go. I couldn't go, right. I was obligated to a couple of other things.

But I was looking at the footage and I to come up, what's that word?

Come up? Like, you know what.

That was the first time I'm gonna be honest with you, and this is real talk. We are taught sometimes to look at a person and say, oh, that's only from the West Coast. Yeah, that was the first time I was like, look, look at how hips. I didn't say West Coast, I didn't say East Coast. I did just say black. I didn't say Puerto Rican. I was just like, look, I just looked at hip hop and I was I was like on Kane Instagram, I'm on Snow, I'm on everyone's Instagram, and I'm looking and I'm like, I was

Yeah, that's big. I heard about J Yeah, Yeah, that was big. Just thinking out there, I man, I mad Hollywood.

Uh.

One of my friends named Jamia Janea. She took me to the Rutger Wow and they laid it out for me.

That was the.

Year it was this this Oh wait, what year was that it was?

It had to be it probably it's probably about maybe three or three or four years ago.

Oh okay, so this is what I thought Hollywood from back then. Okay. The DJ.

When he was he was okay and two okay, okay, okay, okay.

Yeah, that's why when I was like, damn, but they was telling me how much of an old gen.

Oh yeah he was.

Actually it was crazy about it and please hip hop historians. I got as close as I get. He was the person that kind of invented the word MC. What I mean with that by that is at this point people were djaying, but the DJ's, you know, they was getting people hype through the music. He was the first person to actually grabbed the mic and say, you know. One of his routines was one of my favorite records.

I always try to do this record. Oh I've never successful.

Was doing it tang I don't want to go sex to with my honey bun and give me something that you, I go to man, But let's let's gip around real quick. One of my favorite movies, Straight out of the Car. It has that famous chewing dre right where he gets kicked out?

What is it?

Well?

I mean, uh you know, uh, you know he got put out.

I think it was like he was nineteen Yeah around that time.

Uh, I was just a little snotty nose kid, you know, just around just you know, looking up to him and both him and my brother Tyrae.

Yeah back then. Yeah.

Because I'm gonna tell you, man, out of all of what is it called Bayot films, to me, this was the best one. Now now can you answer this for me?

Is it? Is it the best one?

Because these brothers are still around so they can actually critique.

Not everybody's going who else? Man?

Uh? I?

I mean there was some things in there in it that that I felt that should have been in there, that that wasn't in it. But you know, if they'd took the time to put everything in there, that movie probably.

A week long, not an hour long.

What parts you think we're vital that we're missing?

I mean, not not anything to do with me, But it wasn't It wasn't like you know, I ain't like one of them people trying to smash.

On it the story better than anybody else.

Like you were, like the fun we used to have,

How old were you when NWA took off?

Uh? I had to be like, did you guys have two one three already?

Like M.

Yeah, yeah, we can't.

I'm just saying, you know, like the beginnings of you guys.

We was we was pups. You know, we was pups.

We was we was just hearing it and and falling in love with and like I said, I used to get a chance to go up to the studio, so you know.

I get I get to Yeah.

I used to hang around and a lot of your achievements and and that's what even ship. I hung out so much that they took me and put me on a skit on Niggas for life. Remember the jail part with hey miss off to get your motherfucking hands.

That was me.

Yeah.

I was a little pup.

Uh, just just hanging in a round and uh two one, like he said, two on three came after that. Man, But we was hearing the world class recond clue Recond crew and the l A Dream Team and Ice Team.

You knew that was your brother when you heard the world class.

I was back in the day videos, you know what I mean.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean we looked up to all of that, you know, me and snooping all of us, uh, even way back then. And one of the cold things that happened around that time. You know, dre used to have tapes when they would do music. I used to hear the ship before everybody else. So we used to sell candy, which is the Vultron Crew, which was in that I talked about in this DJ. The Vultron Vultron Crew that was our crew, and uh so what we would do was we would work. We would go sell

Yeah, that ship, that ship is cracking.

Yeah.

We would be freestyling and having you know, battles and stuff in there.

You know, even the twins they up in here.

They was all of us, was even my own baby Poppa. When I say baby Poppa Chick, that's baby Poppa right there. We all came from Elementary King Park all that. So we we l yeah in Longwich, California. And uh so we used to freestyle and have fun and rap against each other in there, beat boxing the whole nine. So I remember Rized Dre song. It was a song called the Cabbage Patch. So these niggas in there busting like

So I'm wrapping. They was like waring you are They heard a song and they was like, oh, nigga, you you you wrong? But ship I was still I was alright. I wasn't.

Snoop was all. It was dope with Steve Snoop, the twin. They was dope. They used to freestyle, they ass.

So it was a famous story about like how Fat Joe Fat Joel had a time where he could have signed himself or he signed punt and then everyone said how honorable Fat Joe was for doing that, But then everyone says that he wasn't the first one.

Everyone says it was you.

With Snoop that you had a chance to kind of like sign, but you said you wanted to put Snoop first.

Well, I was always pushing for Snoop, you know. I mean I was pushing for all of us at the same time. But I was more of like I was like the who who could I think of?

They used to be?

I was just I was like very aggressive with with uh, with working with Snoop. You know, I wanted him because I'm dope, But he was he's dope.

But you know, I'm just a story I'm a storyteller.

I make it simple but to where people can relate to it real easy. And Snoop was busting all he was an MC was just that he was all of the above, and you know, I just that was just my thing. I just wanted to push hard for him to be successful, successful because I know if he blows up and be successful, he gonna snatch us up to it. The same time, even though we had a demo tape all together to the group.

Yeah you know this this that was two on yeah. Yeah, And that's just that's just.

How it was.

Man, just wanting to push, just wanting to win and.

Now, but that's honorable, like most people don't do that. Like most people actually they're selfish. Yeah, and they'll say, man, put so.

But how you know.

One of the things that I did and I felt great about my life was Fat Joe asked me to get in contact with jay Z for him, Like no one gets in contact with jay Z like.

But I he was my one favorite with.

Jay Z and I gave it to Fat Joe and then my life kind of changed from that because I guess God was testing me kind of made me feel like unselfish. So do you feel like that when you put snoop in front of you?

Oh, this is your plan, you know.

I'm that was.

All the way through.

It's just what came natural and plan for him to blow because that was my best friend and just pushing for my best friend and wanted to see him be successful because he his name was was was bigger than than me and Snoop Rock snow Brock Skate. I'm so glad they started calling me, what's that little yellow motherfucker on the character now with the snoopy snoopy and uh uh the look was stop.

They started calling me. I was mad that mother said, now it ain't no goddamn wood stot.

Okay, so let's let's let's let's let's let's bounce around a little.

Bit, right.

I had an incident like that where I'm gonna just say that's just when I did Indo smoke on the party, just the soundtrack. Brothers, Uh, you're saying that the samples Endo smoke, but the sample was was wrapped dirty by Blowfly Okay, cool Fly Deaf Jam had called and was and was inquiring about the guys on the song. So they called Paul Stewart and John Singleton called me. It was like one deaf jam is is you know, they want to talk to you. So I was like all right, cool, so we we're talking.

And ship you say. John Singleton called you, and then Paul Stewart, Yeah, get away with that floor.

So and so they called and they was they was, you know, acquiring about the guys on the record. So I was like, you know, okay, cool, I said, I produced it. You know that was that was a record. He was like, well it was. It was Chris Lighty, Tracy Waples, and Lee or Cohen. They was all on the phone talking to me. And it was like, uh uh, well we want the guy on the song that you know, he had all of the styles. So I was like, oh, okay,

Ship that's me.

So it was like, yeah, I said, ship doesn't mean we won't you.

So I was like, damn, I was. I was tripping out.

I produced it.

So I was like, Ship, I'm gonna produce all because he was my guy. You know, that was my guy, like my artist type, you know. And uh that was that was an example of of you know, I tried to push him before myself thinking about yourself.

I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't thinking about myself.

I knew I could get my shot by producing mister gam.

Okay, okay, let me ask you because now when I listen to the radio, I turned on the radio, I hear versions of Nick.

Dag Oh yeah yeah.

Well all due respect to these new artists, I believe the first person I've really heard go into depth singing on the record was t J.

Swan.

Yeah, the Juice Crew.

He got on another day saying he got he did a tribute to Biz.

He was up there and after that the only person but who was hitting melodies because Swan was kind of like, I want to say, really.

You know, people that were singing before didn't know what.

Was actually nothing you can hear he went the church with his mom and you can hear that, and then.

He was above He was what does that called ahead of your time?

He was so ahead of his time that people now are hitting his melodies right now and they don't even know it.

Yeah, did you know what had that? That? Uh? Another flight? No old that's that's yeah? Whoever wrote that?

Hold up.

Ship?

Yeah? Yeah, big yes day yesterday? But did you did you?

Did you think like, because like I mean, I'm not to call out anybody's name when I like God blessed, when I hear tea pain, I hear future, I hear rod wave, I hear like, who's these other guys out there? Even like the Travis Scott smelling and all that. Did you think like Nate's legacy would be this powerful?

Definitely?

He knew it.

I knew it. He was just he was different.

It was different than anything like that was like how Snoop and Drake is. That's how me and Nate is, you know what I mean? So anything I would bring up it. No, it don't matter what it was. I could put on some ship like a jazz tone that's like off balance and just crazy. He had come up with some ship to that ship. He had some scatting to that ship. You know, he'd do all kind of ship, but he'd be it'll be in a gangster way, you know, whether it's about a woman, he'd be scatting to talking

It because there was nothing soft about that way.

Saying he meant that ship was on there. He telling this, telling the real like the hardest man. It's one of his songs.

I don't know if too many people heard that, but it's him. Uh, he's talking to third person.

But the the person that's the third person is a gun. It's a gun telling him a story, and he's telling the story about itself at the same time, you know, because it's a little big man.

Don't you see me lying here? Pick me up what he said, I'll make your life easier. God damn it.

I can't remember the song off the words, all of it. But he say, after you finished doing what you doing, toss me and be gone. But just a gun talking to toss me and be gone.

It's cold. You gotta hear this called the hardest man.

But like I said, he was incredible man. And it was things like that that he could do along with being on any type of genre music and making that Ship Ahead record and they was incredible.

Space of noise in the.

So.

So you know, one of the beauty parts, beautiful parts about me being an artist is me like to sit there and watch a producer create. Yeah, what is something that you need to create when you're in the studio?

What do you need? Uh? Shit, what's the environment? What does it be like?

I have me some beer, uh but uh some tequila.

Uh, just you know, musicians and you know, just my friend. Actually, what I do is I call my friends later to come up.

You know.

So I sit in there pretty much by myself for a while. Then I bring in the musicians to help out with parts that I know I can't get, and I just sit in that motherfucker all just just just putting everything together. And then I'll call everybody to come up, and then when they come in, I'll start playing ship and and it lets me know if I got some banging.

But that's pretty much it. I give me it. I swore me a joint.

I got the musicians there haveing some beers and tequila and food, and I just it just takes me to a take me into a in my records, in my turntable and my Mexic just sitting there vibing out and getting ideas. I love that ship too. I love it over the hell.

I thought I didn't miss the studio to the other day, Yeah.

And I went in. I was I can't ain't over there, never stopped. Let's talk about let's talk about the tours off the chain everywhere.

We've been being sold out on me, Snoop Too Short, whizz Burner, d J drama, The Twins is out here with us and.

The smoking laws going off everywhere. We getting.

Lying damn I never God damn goddamn plans. But I can't take it. I give the ship away, like take this ship.

Tired of it?

Let me let me ask you, because you know, I was fortunate enough to be around when Death Row was around.

Yeah, and I'm.

Fortunate enough to see the transition from how everyone moved when they was on Death Row to kind of like grown men now, like everyone is kind of like I don't want to say adults, yeah, right, because everybody was young. I'm trying to think of a cooler word. Yeah, mature right, right, So what is the difference? What is where's warrg more comfortable when your guys was on the road, Because remember when you when you guys was affiliated death Row. I know he was always on death Jam, but you guys

Right. Did you have more fun then or you haven't more fun now? Uh? Where it's different.

I had more fun then.

I mean, I mean I have a ball now, but I had a I had a ball back then because.

It was fun and dangerous.

I gonna think it's funny dangers. That's just some shipping from the hood. Yeah like that.

Yeah, you know, the anticipation of knowing, like Dan, we may bump heads over here.

That okay, ship, it's on, you know, let's go.

But you did bump beds over there all the time I've seen it. I don't know if it was anything you did. No, there's something about you was shuk right that you had to get out the out of the studio because she was the only.

One I went to.

I went to the Uh the Uh, it was a session. I want to go see Snoop and everybody. You know, I hadn't seen everybody in a minute, so I went up there, and uh it was a studio session. Everybody in that motherfucker partying and everybody doing tupacing, everybody, all of us. No Tupac wasn't in there was just it was, uh the dog Pound, Snoop, everybody, all our whole.

It is the era of the throat. Yeah, okay, you knew dog Pound back then, because that was I've known all my life.

Okay, okay, Ship, I'll get in.

I'm excited. I'm sorry.

They came through the funk. The dog Pound came through the funk, the funk, that's right, Yes, indeed. So, uh we was in the studio. Uh well, I mean we bumped heres a couple of times.

You know.

I ain't I ain't. I ain't like in the bashing the motherfucker.

I won't.

I ain't, I ain't gonna. I won't bash him. But nothing like that, because I know I've known them niggas, says Ship. When I was about fifteen years old. The first time I met him, I went to a wedding wild Yeah with Dray now way back Easy and.

Drey bodyguard, right, they called him Marion back then.

No, they called him ship back.

Yes, but he was a bodyguard at first, right yeah, but uh and they started managing.

He was around Bobby Brown and Easy, hanging around eating and you know, just cool nigga.

You know.

Now, it was a situation that happened where you know, I came in the studio. You know, everybody's in there. You know, I was cracking on death Jam. Everything was popping, so you know, I'm thinking, all this, the ship is all good. So he was one of one of the one of my guys come in that I knew that was part of his His team was like, Warren should want to hoigher at you. So I was like, all right, cool, I'm coming in there. I'm just right here talking to all my guys. So we talked and he come in

I was like, man, let me holler at you man. And I was like, we'll see what the fuck this nigga?

Man?

God damn.

So uh So I went in there uh, walked in, went in the room and once you know, we got in there at the door shuit, you know, another door came up. Yeah, another door came over from this side, and then it was a dude I knew came out.

Was just like blood, you tried to set me up. So I'm like, huh, what the fuck? I looked like trying to set you up. This is my nigga too, like this is my guy.

We used to drink, smoke together, all kind of shit from the from the beginning, like yeah, some bitches told me that. When he said some bitches, I said, oh, this nigg this is some bullshit because I don't even get down like that. So, uh, you know, so he wolfing, so they you know, going that day, he talking the sugar shit like blood you want you? This is just something like no, So I'm just chilling. So he like walk up on me like he tripping and just wamn,

You got police the whole none, So it was no situation.

So one of my homeboys, Big Sea style, he came in, like, what's up, Like, what's going on?

What's handling with warm? Why y'all fucking with warm?

You know?

So they like no, no, no, no, they tell us, so why they talking? I hit that door now, boom, and I eased out that motherfuckering. I walked through the kitchen and I seen one of my homeboys or two of my guys. I looked at him like, nigga, these niggas tripping. I didn't want to alarm nobody. So I got to the hallway and I got ran up. I ran, but I walked out the hallway. So as I'm going down the hallway, he came storming out that motherfucker get that nigga blood. As soon as he said that ship,

They failed, so I.

Got I got a chance to get out that motherfucker. I jumped in my truck. I had a big ass uh uh. I think it was the Nalia truck or some big black motherfucker on big old knobbies. So I got in my goddamn truck. I backed that motherfucker. I was like, nigga, fuck yop Wolf took off and Uh. The whole thing about that is that I didn't know Dre had left, you know what I mean. So yeah, so I didn't know, but but that ship.

Happened to me in there.

But then I called my uncle. I said, run, some motherfuckers just snatched my chain.

I was.

I was mad as a motherfucker. I was like, he was like, give me, give me somebody's number one. So gave him out that He called Snoop and who was.

That you called?

Run?

And he told him. He told him straight up.

He said, look, if my neph if my nephew chain don't come out, that motherfucker, I'm gonna blow that motherfucker up. He's a special type of guy that like it's different, Like I'm talking Navy seal type. That's well, let me quick as I don't want to get you in trouble and uh uh Snoop called me like, get up, come get your chain.

Man.

I said, hell no, nigga, I ain't going back up there to get that chain. Nig keep that motherfucking hold it. And when I see you, I get it. But the whole time I didn't know Drake left. I wish he would have called me, like, niggas go around that ship. Them niggas is tripping, you know. But some some of his homeboys had always tell me, like warning they own something else, you know, just kind of stay out the way.

So let me ask you because because to me, you was inside up and that was like an outsider because you was wasn't signed to death Row technically right at one point again I'm outside of it. I'm looking at but this Death Row looking like the funnest fucking place, and the off the check like it went from it being like like like like like Queis' from Left Rock City, but pue Bridge is not too far away, right, bris is a wild ass neighborhood. Let me just tell you something.

Was it?

I think?

I think once the money started rolling in, you know, that's when everything kind of like started to change a little bit.

Sorry, they didn't want to sign you at Death Throw.

Ship, I don't I didn't get signed to him.

They so, you know, I don't know what because there have been a thing that because you're at death Jam that they were like, well you should have been over here, like could.

That after after after I got you know, the motherfuckers wasn't fucking with me. I was like, Ship, let me get out and do my motherfucking thing, you know, because it just, you know, it wasn't It wasn't right, you know.

But like I said, we had a ball. Don't get me wrong.

I have fun with Sug, you know a lot of you know, we had a lot of fun. We just bumped heads a few times. That wasn't cool.

You know.

Another incident was where when we was young in the game at the Solar Studio, you know, and they pulled out the contracts and I was just like myself, I'm like, ship, you can't just sign this ship studio in the studio, so you can't go and sug.

Just comes and brings out car.

Well, we had been doing, you know, doing our things, so it was time for a chronic or no, huh are we working on a chronic? We was?

What was we doing the chronic? I think we was doing the chronic there. So I told Snoop. I was like, ship, don't sign that ship, you know, don't sign that contract. Get a lawyer, you know. And one of my constituents went in there and told him that I told him not to sign it. So when he heard that ship, here he.

Goes they.

Then he came and he grabbed me and slammed me up against the wall.

And uh, he was just like, blood, you told him not to sign that contract. And I was like, man, you better get your hands off me.

He'll tell you.

I said, I said, get your hands off me. I'm gonna call all my homeboys because back then I didn't care shit. And uh, I had one of my little buddies with me named Cisco. Cisco was a gunner, but he didn't have no gun on him. But I wouldn't have wanted him to shoot him or nothing like that, to do anything like that, because I wasn't you know, I'm not gonna let this mother let him shoot him. But he was that hot headed. But he couldn't do ship. This motherfucker this big and uh so I thought I

So I was fucked up, like you wasn't going because you was with that jam or it was.

Like, nigga, you're not going. Like even though I'm damn i'ven't been fighting with these niggas.

We didn't have fun together all. That's like, nigga, you're not going I'm like, wow, you know who and who gave me a ride back gave me a ride home after that was uh member Breeze MC Breeze gave me a ride him and my homegirl tomorrow. They gave me a ride home from the airport that day. No, no, this is my homegirl tomorrow and from that day.

So you were stranded on the road and they gave back home.

I didn't have no way to get home, but she came. She was up there.

She was up there because I think Breeze was gonna sign with death ro But so I asked him, that was my homework. She used to hang around us all the time, so you know, I asked her for a ride. So jumped in the car with them, and from that point on, I just said this, this ain't gonna work, you know.

And then I asked Dre. I'm like, what's going on, Like what's up?

Man?

He was like, you got to be your own man, you know, you just got to do your own thing. So I was just like fucked up, Like I ain't with Snoop, I ain't with Dre. I ain't with dads corrupt, none of my homeboys. They all out having fun doing this and doing that, and I had to go back to my sister's floor. I had my credit records, the same crate that we was using on the chronic. I

When I produced.

When they did their record together, well Tupac, it was em C Breed and then called me. Rodney G called me and d O C had called me for Rodney G. So they was like, one, we want to do some music for Breed. So I went up there with with m C Breed and that's when I produced the record. You gotta get your I gotta get mine. You produced that record, produced that I produced, and pop came in the the session and got on.

The area of Tupac because that's that's who that was. Yes, yes, yes, Dave l A. This is pre throw. Yeah and after post Didital Underground. Yeah, he's already sold the story. Yeah, okay, so you just give.

I ain't gonna lie, uh, you know.

So they gave me my first shot as far as my production being out into the world like that. MC I got to get and I turned around and did his whole album m C breed after that, and then that led to you know, like like once again within those smoke I hope I'm not talking to please fans

He asked me, did you do that? Did you you produced the record on the endow smoke right?

I said yes.

He said, well I want to I need a record as well. So at that point we just started. You know, that was the first time I seen somebody roll a block. He tupac. He had a gang of bad bitches in there. He had a gang of bad bitches in there. I had glasses on with a little bit of tape on my glass, and I was like god, damn and uh, but they were showing me love.

And so he was asking me. He was like, warn, what what's up with you? You know, like what's happening?

You know?

I said, I've just been going through a whole lot. That's when I didn't get to do anything. So he's like, I've just been going through a whole lot, you know. I got into it with a cat out and loan which I had shoot out bust him, busting that motherfucker's motherfucker's broken my car, all kind of shit. So I was telling him all of this shit I was going through, and he was just like, damn, that shit is crazy.

So he was like, you gotta beat, and I was like yeah. Started going through my.

Discs and shit popping them in the drum machine, and I came across the wind Parade by Donald Bird.

I had already had the beat done, and uh it was the boodoom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom.

Boom boom boom.

He was like, I want that one right there. So he I got it, gave it to him, They put it on tape. He went in there in the booth and the engineer that you know how they quieted. They shut the speakers off, just him and the engineer in the headphones. So he went in there for about thirty minutes and uh, he came out, that motherfucker and he told him to turn it up.

And it was the same beat I gave him. He when it came on, boom boom boom boom boom boom boom, he said, my definition of a thug nigga.

So he started.

I said, God damn that shit. So I said this nigga, So he started busting. I played the cars I was giving. Thank god, he was busting, and he started talking about some of the shit that I was told. I was telling it, so I'm like, God damn, this motherfucker put the ship in the goddamn along with some other shit. So I was like, I was like, this is crazy.

So he was like.

I heard him. He was like, my definition of a thug nigga, and that was it. So he said, Warm, can you put some scratches and stuff in there? So I was like hell yeah, So I did the It was rock saying Shante, I said he for tears the season to be serving. And then I had Richard Pryor squashed and what you doing And I took snoop voice and I said, Marbin like a motherfucker.

It was tears the season to be served. What you're doing marble like a motherfucker.

So that was right after he said My definition of a th u Nigga, which became his single this Thug Life single off the Party, Just the soundtrack, which catapulted the Thug Life album Big Psych, Little Psyche, Little rated R, mac ten, Macados's mac ten, not the Inglewood mac ten, but mac ten, Macadosis Runner, all of them. They came in there at the same time because they was Thug Life and one of their homies that got killed named Cato.

Boom boom boom, How long will they mormy boom boom boom?

So he was like he did the song, so he was like, I gotta get somebody on the hook man the sings. So I called Nate back then it wasn't no navigation, so I had to tell Nate, you gotta do this.

So it was navigation and Nate came up there and did it's part of wish. It was another how long will they on?

On?

My brother?

That ship was it was cold and and then that led the light to kick it and then it led to other other records that I produced for him, and that ship, like I said, Pock and Breed, was the first motherfucker to give me my shot at at at uh.

Production wise.

And by the way, remember I told you about the chain that got snatched. Still got that motherfucker to this day.

Put that ship up.

I ain't a busting now that people don't think that I'm a bust. I was just in a bad situation when ship.

You know, yeah, did you early on production wise, did you feel that you needed to have a different sound than dre.

Most definitely.

I mean, like, was that something conscious of you?

Like I gotta sound different.

I just wanted to create my own lane and not have people say, oh, the reason why he doing this is because he with Dre and this, that and this. But my music here developed from my father, uh my dad, Warren Warren Warren Jr. Now my dad married his mother you know when we when I was a young kid, and so my dad he used to play music for me all day, Like we would sit in his house because he would come pick me up for my mom's and he would take me and just listen to music

I love.

I love to feel good, you know, ship, and that's that right there is what what made my style what it what it what it is and what it was. And and you know, I didn't never try to be like Dre, but he taught me the game as far as like the MP yeah him in one eighty seven from Above the Law both taught me taught me you know how to work the n PC sixty. And he also taught me how to splice tape, put that ship together with the alcohol and all that ship.

He taught me a lot of ship.

Your young niggas don't know this ship. Your young niggas got it easy. Yeah, you're already impressive one. But record, goddamn tape and alcohol.

No, that's all good.

And the love, the love that he showed me was the love I showed back by going and searching for all those records, a lot of the records that we use on the chronic, you know.

So that was that was my part. I would go get the records.

I would take them, sample them up, and then I let him here and I'm like, Drake, listen to this.

He'll listen.

He like that ship is hard. If he liked it, he would take that ship and he would change it up, do a couple of things like let me ride.

I played.

That was a break record that I bought.

I bought the break record to that in Torrance at a right down the street from Audio Achievements, and it was a break I still got the break record to this day.

Of some parts the third grade lunch money. I could tell I might.

It was a little piece in there that that uh that bun boom boom boom boom. Let me while I was doing I was doing this thing, and let me right. It was all on that that one record, and Drake took that ship and pieced that motherfucker together.

When I heard it again, I was like, God damn.

Even like like the skits, like the these nutskit, that ship was all like organic. I called my homegirl and told her, I said, shit, you know what you doing today? She was like, I'm getting my nails done and da da da. I said, well shit, I said, hey, watch your name get.

At you and she was like who I said these.

And uh.

She went crazy when she's all nigga, she know, she started tripping them. But that was an organic skit. I told Dre, turned the mic on and I just we just did that just in the studio one day, just sitting there and then just a lot of the skits like the you really don't understand, don't you. In order for us to make this thing work, we got to get rid of the pimpster. You know all that that was a record, that that record that was mind you. What I did is I bought all the black black

You know.

He ain't playing no games, you know. But you know, I had had a great time, you know, just doing the chronic with him, you know. And I actually taught dad, you know, from him teaching me him in one eighty seven, teaching me to me teaching dazz and dads also helped out with with us on the chronics. So it was me and Chrystal Glove.

Yeah, and so I mean the ship was the ship was just it was, it was, it was. It was amazing.

Did you guys know what you were creating at that time that it was that special?

We just was doing music, just loving to do good music. And but but it was inspired by the riots that was going on. You know at that time that Rodney King jumped off, So it was it was motherfucker's doing a lot of crazy ship Florence Man tearing ship up, putting ship on fire.

I was in it, Don't get me wrong, now, I was.

I was.

Actually got me d O c U corrupt and uh ice team we was at the I think it was it one on two point. I think it was k K K J l H.

The Nigga I tee.

They he'd tell you they seen me coming out when the store came, ran off the store with a whole thing of.

Beard running back the window. And uh he talked about that ship too. You said that Nigga Warren crazy.

But all of that stuff inspired us to do the chronic and everything that was going on from the parties that ain't no fun came from them parties because that's that's what we was doing during that time, because they was having parties here, parties their party during the riots.

Hell yeah, it was crazy because it was a.

So it was niggas coming from everywhere and uh just partying like a motherfucker and uh ship, we even had a party with Drake told he told all these it was a gang of niggas in his house. He said, y'all, motherfucker's got to get up out of here.

So he had to. He pulled out the strap. Motherfucker's just like whatever. No, they wasn't tripping.

Ship.

He had a all right by the door where he had the choppers. I went there, grabbed that motherfucker chopper.

He said, get the fuck out. You know, all the motherfuckers started moving.

Yeah.

And my only thing is I wish, you know, I wish I was more business minded back then instead of being so uh.

Like.

What my my thing was is like I said, the show the love back to him as far as teaching me, you know, so that that's from you. You know, you taught me as a puppy, and this is the reward for you, teaching me, by me and my homeboys coming back, putting this record.

Together for you, you know what I mean.

I just wish I would have knew about publishing back because that would be would be lovely right now, you know.

But you know you didn't get publishing on the crowd.

I ain't get it. I didn't get no credits.

Neop gave me some coproduction, he said, Snoop said my name, I don't stranded on death Row.

So you produced on a chronic and never got credited.

I didn't get shipped on that motherfucker.

Really.

Yeah, But I wasn't tripping. I was there for Dre, you know what I mean, you know, helping helping Dre.

Wow.

Hold on, I wanna come back to the chronic because I want to ask you something on the slips my mind because I have we suddenly meet people who Tupac prior to Death Row, and then who knew Tupac while he was on So and I.

Want to get back to the chronic.

But what was the difference in your opinion leading Tupaca, like you said, gave you one of your first Yeah, looks, what's.

The difference between him then and then him and on the ground days too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He was always cool, just cool, kind of hip bouncing around the music, get the jump and he get to bounce.

He was just just a fun dude, just fun. Later on, you know, once he was doing his thing.

Actually he actually he that was around the time when he had got out here got built out and we was at the House of Blues.

Like this was right after the incident I had. So we was at the House of Blue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we was at the House of Blues and he had was fresh out. He seen he was hugging me. We hugging and ship.

Again, that ain't gonna happened.

Okay, let me ask me out of pure ignorance, right because.

I don't he was a little different. I ain't gonna lie, you know, because the way he was talking to me on the.

Phone, I'm like, you know, it wasn't the same, pot it was. He wasn't.

He wasn't the same, but he was more serious, but it was. It was still him, but it was, Yeah, he was just more serious. And another the crazy thing is that when he was locked up, me and Richie rich was tight, you know.

I used to come all the way from all the way from l A to to over to up to the Bay. Me and him just used to ride around and big our trucks and ships, skirting, you know, doing crazy ship having fun, tearing up the town, you know. And and uh, him and Pock used to talk a lot on the phone, writing letters, talking and everything. So he was telling me about what was going on with him.

And we partied.

Man, But I'm telling you, it was it was so many incidents, so many you know things that that was happening out there.

I mean to even tell you this one right here, this was, this was, this was this was Uh.

I had a friend was that was Jacob York. Uh yeah, Jacob York. He said one He said, do you want to go see Biggie? So I said, here, yeah, I go Sam. This was This was at the time when Pemmy Park was few and this was when we was at the club in New York. I forgot what that club. Well, it wasn't a palladium artic tunnel. This was like a little it wasn't too big. It was and you walk down it was it was downstairs greenhouse. It was downstairs.

It wasn't cheat it was this one was us a club USA some ship like that could be okay, but.

Whatever it went down, I think it was USA or something like you know something you keep trying. It went down and and uh it was they were static in there because that you know, bigg and him was in there. But it wasn't like super Beef then, and uh so, I mean you know what, I take that back. It was it was it was I can't It wasn't like to where Niggas wanted to shoot and all that ship. But it was just like okay, you over here, you

So he was telling me everything.

So I said, well, how about this what I do when I get a chance, I get that pocket say, look, I talked to this nigga, Biggie. This is what he said, You niggas get this ship together and stop that ship. But I couldn't get to him because it was all the other motherfuckers that get the Tupaca to really talk to him about what he said. Wow, that's why trying to get the message.

You're telling me in some world that if you would have got to Tucac, maybe it's.

Probably wouldn't have been said, well, because I would have pulled him to the side and really talked, this is what's going This what this nigga told me? We had a We had a motherfucking We walked to the corner little scene with there. We walked to the corner drunk Private Stock all that ship because you know, I'm like, I want to five stock was a great want A Private Stock said, let's go me if you walk drinking Private Stock the whole nine.

Did you think it would have got as deadly as a guy?

Uh? I didn't think it would be.

No gun.

I didn't think it was gonna be any gun play period with anything like.

Squab and ship. That's it.

That's where I thought it was.

You know, I didn't. I didn't.

That's where I had it at, you know.

But I'm sure the people have been tuning in, been having him uh dropping a lot of names. And I want these people to understand that I've been on death Jam as well. And Death Jam has a history and they have a portfolio. When they sign artists, they want you to understand the artists that came before them. And one of the first people they tell you about is l L. They say that L L you know, open up Death Jam or whatever whatever. Then they said another artist.

Is Warren G. And what they say is Warren G. You know, you, Humble God.

Warren G single handedly saved Death Jam.

Oh yeah, I know, you, Humble God. I'm a rack for you.

Like that ship is real, Like just think about it, Just think about it. Whatever was happening East Coast at the time could not hold on to whatever torch that we had on at that time. West Coast was killing it and you single hand.

This is this is what they say. It's not a rumor, this is this is all facts.

They'll sit down, they'll take your.

Statements to prove that. Yes, indeed, how the hell how dope is that for you to know that?

But hold on my bad that you single handedly they say you, you single handedly say fucking one of the most iconic, iconic rap labels in history.

How the fuck does that feel?

I mean it feels great. Uh.

You know, it was just you know, the love was was was giving back to them for believing in me, you know, because nobody wasn't really believing in me, and they gave me that that lane, you know that lane too to get my music out so people could hear it and say, Okay, this nigga is dope. He got dope, his ship is dope. And they opened that up in the and the reward to them for that was helping them. I didn't know they was in the situation that they

Wow, you know, but they got me the bread and everything.

And.

You know it.

It was it was, it was just it just felt great, man, just to be able to.

For them to give me my shot and then me blow up and then also helped the company and then help the company to where it opened the door for jay.

Z about you, m man, they might not exist if it wasn't for the movies.

They Florida, So they probably would have got picked up by somebody.

But what I'm saying, but we got to deal with facts. Yeah, yeah, that's the facts. Yeah you know what I mean.

And uh, but you didn't know it back then that that that was happening, that you helped them.

No, I didn't.

Well, and they tell me the story later on down the line. And then when I was saying not Russell, but Lee or he would put these you know what how much money they was making up?

They was put that ship up right in the office over there.

What the artist?

What has made the company? What it made the company? There? I've seen a hundred million. I was like, God, damn, my pieced millions. You made a hundred million they made the company, okay, And uh so I was like, damn, but I didn't.

I didn't. I made money.

But if I think, I wish I could have had a part of that hundred million.

You know.

So you know my thing is is I I love def jam and I could you know, they gave me a shot to do my thing, man, And I asked.

All I had asked was just let me get my masters. Y'all gave lll his you know, let me get my masters. That's all I wanted. You know, Well, all I do want. You know, I don't want to wait long. Old the motherfucker. You haven't done them, not yet. But I think it's like get thirty in January. In January before they're saying thirty five.

No, no, should give it back to you.

Man.

So it's just it's just and I'm just like God, to new president of the dude from what I heard Luken and Luke, No, not him the dude from UMG. The Big Dog was the one that was just like because Russell got at him, like, can y'all y'all give him his ship? You know, Like when I'm like Russell, y'all should have gave me the ship when y'all sold the motherfucker then you you know what, I man, give.

Me my ship like y'all got lll ship, gave him his ship.

But so I guess that come to me in like about five or six years, five or six more years. But I'm like, shit, I don't want to be old the motherfucker trying to a deal with you, you know what I mean. But that's all I want, you know, for me helping you guys turned into a billion dollar company.

My ship ain't ain't making a gang of money like that every year it make money.

It ain't not. It ain't like.

Kanye's catalog or his sh or you know guys like that. Y'all got all that ship, y'all. My ship is crumbs compared to all that ship over there.

It ain't not.

Ain't gonna say drumbs, but it's it's that's stupid, right. But let me ask you, if you was to get your master's back, would you re release it? How would you re release it?

I re release it.

I redo everything, start, you know, join with a company that could do that ministering for me, and also the license and all this stuff for me, and just do it like they doing, you know, and everything come around, making sure everybody that was involved get there. They cut you know, everybody that was on there. I find it all. Okay, boom, this comes to this person, Just come to that person.

Uh?

I called Dre one day. I called him, you know, because I hadn't seen him in a wild and that's.

What I used to do.

I'd call him, you know because he'd be at out of their achievements or wherever. I'd say, man, can I come hang out? Because that's what I used just to get away from the hood.

Excuse me? Yoh, I had the birth real and.

So I had UH called him and he was like, he was like, I'm up. I'm having a bachelor party for l A Dre. So I was like, shit, can I come? He was like, yeah, come.

So I went to the bachelor party and I was in there hanging out.

It was a lot of bad motherfuckers in there, like strippers and ship because I wasn't.

I wasn't used to all of that ship naked women and ship like that.

And uh so they playing music and ship, so you know, I wasn't used to seeing it like that, you know what I mean, Like I was in the hood, wasn't We didn't have to like and uh and uh so, uh I asked l A Dre. I said, can I play this music?

You know?

Because they kept playing the same ship. So I said, let me play this ship. So he was like all right.

So we popped that ship in and that's cassettes back then. So he popped that motherfucker in. He started playing the ship and there was a song we had called Long Beach is a Motherfucker and he heard the ship and he was like, damn that ship banging.

He was like, who is this? I said, that's me snooping my homeboy, Nate Doug. So he was like, have you let dra hear this ship?

I was like no, because he didn't shout us down, you know a few times here and there at family functions and ship like that. So he was like, dre listening to this ship. So dra came over there and was bobbing and ship and he was like, that's yeah. He didn't know it on the song. Okay, yeah, yeah, he didn't know it. So he was just like, damn, who was this. He was like, I said, that's two one three. I was like, that's me, Snoop and Nate.

Let you.

And uh So he was like, look, come up to the studio on Monday. So I said, all right, cool and uh So at that time, you know, Snoop was kind of like doing we was.

We were still two on three.

But at that time, you know how motherfuckers get in the motherfucker ear. It was trying to steer him off on the solo mission. That kind of it was kind of like splitting us up a little bit. So we was all kind of going at it. And so I get back down to the hood because we was living with my homeboy rump Rumping, Christine and Keish and camp on twentieth Street in uh twentieth and am and uh uh.

So Snoop wasn't there. So I called him on the phone.

I'm like, Snoop, I'm like, I said, nigga, Dre want us to come to the studio on Monday. And he was like, nigga, fuck that shit, Nigga, you guys believe that shit?

Boom.

So he hanged the phone up on Snooper. Did he get nasty with hang the ship up for all kinds of ship. So I called him back, like, nigga, just just please just listen to me. Let me call this nigga on the three way and and so you could talk to him so he could tell yourself. So I called, you know back then you get the dude and you called and I said Andre, I said, Snoop, don't believe.

I clicked back up.

I said, Andre, Snoop, don't believe that you want us to come to the studio on Monday.

So Dre was like this is this?

He was like, yeah, I want you all to come to the studio on Monday. He was like this ain't no doctor Dre said, this is doctor Dre. You know, he said, this is Dre.

And when he the way he said this that voice that you know when he talking on the Dude record.

Yeah, and so.

We you know, hung up the phone.

You know, we was happy, kind of like celebrating this ship, like yeah we can do.

Like we started drinking silver se.

That was our drink back then, and you go on Monday, and so so Monday came, uh, Monday came.

Brunt was the only transportation.

We had my homeboy run because we was living with them, So he had an old Ford like.

Kind of raggedy forward. So we and that motherfucker we took.

The street all the way to Hollywood and you know how you get to the light and you put that motherfucker up on the.

Thing like.

And then you hit dry booming and y'all take off. We did that ship all the way to Hollywood, the record and then and when we got there, you know, we walked in. Dre was right there, d Oc was in there, and Drake threw on a beat. It had the hold on, Hold on to that Dune student get mixed with payback, the big Payback.

It was them. It was hard as fuck. So Snoop did a song it would call this is a.

Gangster's Life and That was the first record that was recorded with Drake.

You know, he was like this nigga Snoop as hard as fuck.

Where the fuck is that record at right now?

Don Drake got it on tape. Snoop may have it on tape because he got.

All of the masks everything instag Yeah, that Snoop on the first even though it wasn't that was the first ship what they weren't called.

And so we just kept doing music.

We kept working and working.

And then Dre was like, look, why doon't y'all move up out of Loan Beach and come stay with me up here in the valley, you know, get out the hood because it was a lot of shit going on.

You know, motherfucker was going in and out of.

The county jail, all kind of ship, all our homeboys was the lowest number was fifteen years. They was all in jail for fifteen and up, you know. So and now all everybody out, pretty much everybody is out. Is everybody out except for uh and dog ain't out. Then duck feet when we used to call dugby the and god damn it. So we moved out. We moved up there with Dre and that and that's when. That's when

Battle? Yeah, battle.

Right right with the in.

Front of the motherfucking rocks. It might be recorded. Somebody might have that ship. You know, I might have that ship somewhere.

I got ship. I'm serious, I got a gang of ship. I gotta pull it out.

But uh uh, that nigga Corrupt was so motherfucking heard him and Snoopy battle and that Nigga said, you got a pinky ring on your finger, and that is true.

But if you look at Mines, I got one too.

And we was like yeah.

We was like, oh ship, but they were you know Snoop, you know he was he was okay, okay, yeah, and uh uh ship, they was battling. They was going back and forth, you know. Snoop was busting.

He was busting.

So it came to a point where he hard he hard here. So it wasn't no, it wasn't a winner. It was like they just they just just broke it up, like we're gonna have to continue this ship.

So I went over to corrupt. I said, look, Nigga, let me get your number.

Took his number and I called him probably about maybe about a week later, and I told him, I said, Nigga, come up here to the valley.

I want to do a demo tape on you. So I brought him up there, did a demo tape on him.

It was called uh we had. The main record was called what more can I say? Maybe on YouTube or you know on the uh the demo tape maybe on YouTube.

And uh it was what more If we can I say? Ohep it what more if we can, I say, oh, and then Corrupt just doom boom boom, boom boom. It was Bobby I think it was Bobby Callwell. Might have been Bobby Callwell. I'm not sure, but it was that boom boom that Nigga told that mother up. So I let Drake, I let dre and shug him here. Boom they heard him, and then that's when they signed Corrupt had Broomfield and them.

They came over.

That was his big homies from from sixty.

They came over and they talked to death Row and made that whole deal happen right there. Because I did the demo with Corrupt, That's how they discovered him.

Let me ask you, because I've seen an interview with big U. Big U says that big U was home Corrupt with another sign to death Row.

You think that's that's ship.

I don't know, but ship, you know, money talking bullshit walk.

Right right right.

I mean, he could have got some money if he was in, you know, if he was the main guy, win him.

They got to get your money because at the time, let me in, blood ain't got nothing to do with that bring.

That's actually my question because see us from the East coast. We didn't understand you guys having war, right, that's what and then us us adapt into that like this understanding that that's that's your culture. Did death Row was something like that especial because when we seen n w A, we see all blue. Yeah you know I'm saying, then we seen like I think there was like I forget a blood gang and it's all blood like we had never seen.

Yeah, bloods and crip.

I think I believe that Ruthless had was down with Ruthless.

Were they were bloods, well they was, they was kind of blood tribal bloods. Yeah, they had some That was because Roscoe was from he's a crip. I know him from Loan and uh that that I think that that, uh, if he was out there at that time, he would have been able to get a nice check out of it. And still that probably would have kept a lot more of the balance instead of it was like more of these dudes like tripping on this what this side of

Of an l a thing, right, asking you that what I mean by bloods and Long Beach is famous for being just yeah, it's all I heard.

You don't see no red out that. No, I mean you you you got some.

I'm sure it's bloods that live in Loan Beach, you know what I mean? You know under the radar. But you know, motherfuckers ain't tripping like that.

Huh.

Oh you said, well ship Long Beach and Compton is damned they're the same city.

We like this.

It's one street that separates Loan Beach and Compton and that's a landra wow. And but I'm I'm I'm sure under the radar it was. It was something that they're not banging but just getting away.

Huh.

Well, it's a crypt city, you know, had fuck it? I mean, my bad, but yeah, but I mean, yes, it's a crypt city. I was born in that motherfucker. So that was my next question.

And after that she witnessed that ship and now, and that's when she was like, you got to go move with your daddy and uh send me to Compton. And as soon as I got up to Compton, and she was telling me at that point Compton was a better place than Long Beach. Yeah, as far as my mama was seeing it. Yeah, uh and uh, but I was still I was still catching. I was I was still catching the bus back down the lung. Which but when I got there, Uh, Andrea and Tyree, you know, they had me out.

And the mother.

I'm drinking great Champs man, he fasted, but I'm funked up with you right now.

Yes, indeed, I think you do.

The next three that's all West Coast. Come on, man, we were all hip hop right now. Man, what I like? I like? I like we supporting the West Coast man.

Oh yeah, all right, this one is the crew right here came up with this bad ass or a little half dead.

Hey y'all, y'all crazy, Thank you for taking it out on them. Everyone takes it out on that home boy. But I gotta roll with bad ass on that one.

Yes, indeed, all right, Chronic or doggy style, that's gonna be hard.

I would imagine ship.

I'm gonna have to go with the chronic hm hmm, because that was that was all of us as that was that, that was all. That was the same element that was on Doggy Style, but it was more uh, well, god damn, let me let me think about this.

I mean, did you have to know what I'm atter?

I take that back.

I'm a have to go with both. I had to bring that one back. I had to run on that.

But but in all respect, if it was for the crowd, that's would.

Let it yesterday.

You feel that you have the same input on Doggie Star that you.

Have, Yeah, yeah it was.

It was just I know I didn't have the same if I didn't produce nothing on the on the nothing on Doggie Style. Let me really think about it now.

Wait a minute, now, wait a minute, let me I have to think.

I have to think about it with with what what what?

What did I do?

Now?

But I'm funked up that you didn't produce anything on Doggie Style, being that Snoop was your man.

Gotta ask Snoop that ship.

I'm just saying you you came. I'm not trying to make anything. That's a lot of ship. Yeah, it's a lot asist on Style.

Which is no it was it was uh at that time that was kind of like that in that in that midst of I was I would say, yes, that was with this too.

Yeah, but that was in the midst of me being with death Jam.

That's what it is.

I wanted to do some ship with on doggie style ship, you know, just like uh this DJ this, this DJ.

Snoop helped write that ship, and he did.

He was on the hook.

But Death Row wouldn't less Snoop. They wouldn't clear him. They was like, no, fuck that, we ain't clearing ship. And uh so I said, you know what, Okay, I gotta figure this ship out because it's gonna look crazy with you know, Snoop not doing this hook.

You know.

So I took Snoop voice and I made it Chipmunks.

If you listen, if you listen under under this that you're here, Yeah, you hear the Chipmunk Boys. Something that's new. And I read I did that. I redid the hook. He wrote the hook. I redid the hook.

You goddam even?

Uh okay now, and I'm just you know, getting this letting people notice, you know, corrupt help with writing.

Do you see.

You don't see what I see?

Ever he got? Yeah, okay did. I don't know the credit.

That's all good. But that's what we did with each other. I didn't done the Gang of Ship for them I ain't. I didn't say like it was synergy everybody. Everybody would would do anything. I think that's just like I said, like to Chronic.

It felt like that like y'all were just working.

That's it.

We nouldn't. We didn't even we didn't even do buck up. No, we never did the business on none of that ship. So whoever somebody did this for that person, that's for you. If this person did that, yeah, that's for you. That's for your ship. That's for your ship. That's for your ship. We didn't come back saying I wrote this shit and did that. No, that's yours, that's yours.

That's yours.

But other than that ship, I did my ship.

I ain't.

You know.

You know, I've had people help out and certain on certain things. You know, everybody get help. You know, when we was in there doing the Chronic and different songs, there was a lot of a lot of help. You know, even like when mister Graham is wrapping on indoor smoke on the h and R puff the stuff and your lungs smoking on the chronic getting straight sprung.

You know that that's my style. But go ahead, you I helped with that would help with helping him write that part, you know what I mean.

So it's just inputting here and there. But that's just how we how we worked. It wasn't no nigga, I want this, I want that and I want that.

Take that.

Snoop will tell you he didn't done a Ganga ship for a gang of motherfuckers and they ain't charged them nothing, ain't asked me nothing.

Same with me. I didn't done shit Like you gotta get charge, I gotta get mine.

I don't.

I ain't seen not one check from that, really, not one check from that. I ain't seen no money from Indo smoke and that went gold. I wasn't on my ship back then, you know, you know, and I could go after them. Now you should see the royalty check that they seen me from Sony. Uh that should be thirty five per cent? How the fuck is it thirty five? This motherfucker went gold? And you know by now the

It should take me more gas to put it in the bank, you know what I mean?

So how the fuck, y'all? But it's my it's my fuck.

Because I ain't had a hyena the go get off of their motherfucking ass. And out of all these motherfuckers, all of them, I guess the drink kicking in mother I motherfucking and all kind of ship.

Alright, we said, Chronicle Dog the game of eminem.

Eminem. Really, eminem is dope. I mean, I ain't saying game ain't dope, but eminem is. You gotta look at look at what the motherfucker wrote. Uh, things just ain't the same for gangsters. He wrote that that's one of my favorite fucking for dre Right.

We got to clear it up because people don't know what we're talking about.

Yeah, I thought Z wrote that, No Eminem wrote that. Jay Z wrote, how the fuck can you write this for this nigga?

And the ship sounds like it?

Yeah, so it's like good point, good point.

And then the motherfucker went diamond plus diamond plus diamond something and he's.

Talented, you know.

And I ain't, like I said, I ain't, I ain't taking ship from game. Game is dope too. Game is dope, but it's just it's it's they it's different, you know what I mean, Like like you say, he is a student he's a student gamer, student of the game too.

It's just Eminem.

I promise you that motherfucker wrote that ship like he was inside the dre body in his head.

And that ship was so motherfucking hard.

I was like, god damn, so when you asked me that, I had to give it to him on that one because that ship was dope.

Game is dope too, Don't get me wrong. The ship he was doing was was hard too.

And please forgive melly mail, pleasebody.

But I guarantee you if he would have if he if he would have, you know, it would have it would have been more of a of a everybody would have been more like, okay, wait a minute now. If he would have did the his disc over that uh uh uh.

Sometimes I want the uh uh, God damn, what's the uh uh uh boom boom boom boom.

No, not Eminem.

If was wrapped over the message doing his ship back then, the people probably be like, oh ship, wait a minute.

But the record he did was like, nigga, you're doing some ship way back, you know, come back in that era. Ain't I ain't listening it, I ain't dising it.

But he or he should have grabbed one of these young motherfucking producers, and I got on their ship to make it, you know, make it more of at.

I ain't saying it ain't, you know it ain't.

But he what he say this time? Put the paid back.

What do you think something like that? You that look?

Don't get me wrong. Melly Miller's my nigga. I love Melly Mall. That's a o g everything. But he he should have did it over a different type of music and made it more simple to where, okay, now we got something going here. Now okay, it could be another one, another part too, because it's all fun and games.

You're saying he did it so old school like it's only like the old. Yeah, he went super old school with it. He went super old school. And he should have just came up, come up to this era and get down on this type of ship. That ship might open up a whole nother motherfucking lane for you with these young niggas. You know what I mean, you do some bus over the ship. He should have rhymed with some drill ship, some drill shit. No, not rhyming, No, not rhyming, drill shit.

Rhyming like he rhymed the nigga did the message that ship that he know how to he know how to write, so you if you take your time, wouldn't be simple, would it, and just break that ship down? But you know, Melly Mail is my nigga. But that that that that uh, he probably should have, ain't I ain't. You know, he probably should have had a different a different beat, more up to air to where you know where it'll gravitate the young crowd to come in.

And listen at the same time, you know, because.

Melly Mail would have hit you and said, I need a beat to dis eminem on what you're giving her?

Are you are? Are you answering a text?

I couldn't get in it, Okay, I couldn't get in there. I couldn't get in there. I wouldn't get in Nobody Mixed, you know what I'm saying. But that's just how that's just how I am.

I used to be around, like I said, as a pup, hanging around the studio out on the street, nowhere to go. Uh lay Law one eight seven took me in with them, the law above the Law. Who came KMGK go Mac KMG, total chaos. They took me in with them and uh uh we was moved then with him were they started fucking with me just because they saying I was a young motherfucker just eager to learn. So they I lived with him. I didn't really have no place to stay, so I lived with them, and uh they was G funk.

So they were G funks.

So that that I became part of that, you know what I mean, funk straight up repping it, you know. And uh so I carried on G funk no matter what because that's what it was. I ain't gonna say it was like a gang, but it was like, you know, this is the G funk music, like the click, this is like G funk. That what we do is a G funk. So what I did was I still kept

Wow.

So when you hear that, you know, and I'm letting y'all know, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, indeed, you know. I'm I'm I'm G Funk, I'm gfunk regulate the G funk Era. That's that's that's one, you know, that's that's another branch off of off of the whole uh G funk brand name. And uh, I'm I'm I took it and took it to a whole different roalm and to where now you go anywhere and they like G funk, you know, G funk,

But motherfucker, you don't know.

I was around these motherfuckers that at the beginning stages nigga, and they made me a part of that ship. So that's what the fuck it is, and I took it to a whole nother motherfucking era. I made it worldwide and made it nun so everybody know what g funk is now, you know?

But and this everyone thinks, because none of these are really trick questions, this is probably the only one that's the trick question, loyalty or respect.

Loyalty you explain why.

Yeah, I just I love loyalty because you know, you don't have to you don't have to look over your shoulder, you know what I mean, you don't have to. You know, you got to stay down with the people who was down with you and never you know, never transform on them. And you know, like I said, the people that's that's been down with you from the gate, you can't be

So it's a you know, it's loyalty.

You know, I've worked with a lot of artists, you know, but I would just sit back just to see how they are, pathet. It's it's like a lot of artists I work with, I just I just chill just to see how they are, you know, to see if they got loyalty.

You know.

It was a lot of them that didn't have no law to you know, they were just it was just you know, using you know, using like myself, a leverage too, because when when I once I said okay, I'm cool, they took that leverage with whatever and then got situations.

In other places. So it was it was, it was, it's it's loyalty all the way.

Lord, let me.

Ask you, you got time dispectus. You've been torn all a long time. I've been What is on your rider? If a person has to.

I'm sure that I did it. I did it. I have fun I did. I did it during COVID. Yeah, during COVID. I just I did that. And I I ain't arguing, like I don't be wanting they want to be.

I don't want to get in get into it and all that ship, you know, because I'll be squabbing like them up.

They kicked me right off that motherfucker ship.

So are you all?

Are you going to do a documentary about the two one three? Like the experiences at the beginning.

I've been I've been pitching the you know, you know, I've been I've been getting that snoop a body for a while.

Just for us to do a biopic on uh good documentary first.

Yeah, Okay, a biopic would be crazy because it uh it's a cold story of three three different stories but ended up coming all together, coming all three different journeys coming together and and and creating some ship that would be crazy. You know that that that changed a lot in the music industry as far as a new sound. And we was inspired as well by four one five, which was Richie Richard, D Lowe and the jig and that I can't pronounce it all the way with Richie Richard,

Yes, indeed.

Now now let me ask you because.

During these times that we were going through, the big thing was like the defund the police, right uh huh. And now they announced in l A that like actually stealing, Yeah, it's not a crime. I don't want to say that they're saying it's not a crime, but they're saying it's like it's like the police won't even react, like like.

That ship that ship is crazy as a motherfucker. I don't I don't understand what what what this, what this is for? But I think that that it's making us look fucked up, you know, like like like we're out of control, like like they always stop, uh, you know. And and and potentially I think somebody gonna get killed doing that ship.

And I see and I see people riding in the mall. Yeah now they just running out grass.

And then when I look, it's always in like yeah, California area because.

That's where it's just California, yeah wow. And and it's just it's like it's like it's a uh, I mean, I really don't understand it. But but somebody going they're gonna what's gonna happen is the owners of those stores they're gonna start striking back and they're gonna start shooting these motherfuckers.

I'm telling you.

I see this ship and then and uh, it's like why would you guys leave and leave open season like that for these kids to.

Do this, you know?

And and at the same time, some of them motherfucking parents like in my era, because it's those are that's our off springs out there doing you know, doing this ship. These parents got to step up, step back up again and start in stealing motherfucking morals and to these families because this ship is getting out of control, and it's like it's it's like what is the whope, what's the future of of if somebody got to get get this ship under control? You know, we we we got to

We only got a few people that can speak.

And then it's hard to get these teenagers to understand and to get America to understand that we're not trying to turn them against you. We're trying to make it We're trying to get our people right and get ourselves together. We're not trying to uh bash all you motherfuckers and this and that and this. Look at this ship. These

They fixed that ship.

Because it's the whole state of California.

Because I read this morning that there's a federal building of San Francisco they closed down. Serious, they closed down because there's too much drug sells a federal Yeah, too much drug.

Sells San Francisco. That's how crazy.

They shut down a federal building because people they had the limit where it's like selling crack is not a federal offense.

Yeah, I got a whole bunch of family.

Just think about it.

It's gonna be the about you have to have for it to be federal, So selling crack in front of a.

Federal building is not a federal offense. It's crazy.

They told the people to stay home. This is read in this morning, this morning. This is that they're saying.

That's how crazy And it's almost like crazy.

It's almost like California is leading the way of this like anarchy. It is crazy about the laws of California.

No no, no law.

You know.

But see now it's the people got to step up, you know and get back at the at the California like look hold up, you know, let's let's let's get some kind of structure here, because we look like some goddamn animals right now. That ship looks bad.

Better than this. Who the governor that I don't I don't know they wasn't that he want that bad, don't. I Mean?

The thing that he did though, was was, uh, he should have stopped Tookey from getting executed. That was crazy with you? What would you okay that it's crazy when this dude has got kid books, he doing ship for the youth, like teaching them, teaching them ship, you know, because he wouldn't you know, the brief or whatever.

Fuck all that ship. Look past all that ship. This motherfucker doing something positive, but he pushed a button on him. You know, you know, I don't I don't really get in all of that.

I don't get into all that political.

At the same time, we got to get some morals back jumping in these households because this ship is crazy. My kids beat to think they think I'm mean because I anything that they do, I'll be on their.

Ass about it.

Like you know, I'm warrant g but I'm a dad at the same time, and I gotta be on the ass. It's like, you guys are gonna have to understand it's morals here. These are the things that I had to go through. So I'm teaching you guys this stuff. So y'all don't be lost. You know, and know how to move and then you know how to have you know, know how to have a family, know how to teach your kids. Should not having them all over the internet cussing and ship like that going viral. Fuck all that ship.

I said this. Nigga, I practice.

Got his ass, will still have motherfucking whelps on it out his ass up like you boy, you ain't never getting ready to do no ship like that again, because that's how we used to get it.

You know, we we got it.

It might be it's probably brutal. People say it was brutal, but we used to get the extension code.

It was right that we need to start using PlayStation cards.

Man, that's the chord. Hold what do you like more performing the record or making the record?

Oh?

Ship? Uh, let's take a shot?

Yeah you god damn.

Shot?

Hold on, hold on, I got with you though, yes and day both. You know what, what's all about your music is whether you're a gang binger or not.

Gag, you still make that music that makes that the West Coast.

I don't know if this is a game making you know what I'm talking about that it's like talking about listen to that, I just move off.

I think that that that's not is that a gang, that's a gang. Then that's what that's against the Bugget.

Okay, that's the gangs, the Bugget gainst the Bugget. And then when you you know that's a gang, the Bugget, and then you know, then you've got the one.

You got the party with the girl, and.

That's and and the first thing that motherfucker used to do was pome yeah, your head on the shoulder doing that ship like damn.

I remember me being from the East Coast and be just looking at it's a society, a boy and me seeing y'all barbecuing and happening the guns on your you're just like I was like, damn, it's like in New York every year, the worst time is the summertime.

It's the best time. It's the worst time as far as violence. And then me realizing y'all on summer all.

Year, yeah, yeah, all year.

Y'all Like oh yeah, So I was like I realized.

I thought to realize, like I always think it was black people, but then when I realized the hood, any hood, they get crazy during the summer.

Is it is it always like that? It's a national thing too.

But like you said, it's like it's like summertime year round in California because it don't it get cold now, No.

Don't get me wrong. It get cold at night at night. Yeah, but.

That next day it's like, shit, you got eighty degrees, seventy five eighty degrees, and it's like motherfuckers pull on their top back, you know. And every it seemed like every like you said, every time, when summer comes, that's when the violence and ships start and it and it it's just.

I really don't understand that ship. Like, I'm just gonna be real.

I'm like, damn, every time, every before the holidays and when before summer start is when all the ships start.

You know, It's like, damn, this is some crazy ship.

Boosy said that he feels Los Angeles is particular it's the most dangerous place for a rap Yeah you agree with that, Yeah, I do, Yeah, I do.

It's it's it's because you will put You remember back in the days, you used to go to a neighborhood and you was a rapper, they would praise you.

Yeah, the police wouldn't even pull you over.

So they still do that.

It's just you know who you are.

It depends on you know, if you like, if you want of these motherfuckers out there.

You know, step the thug and they gonna teest your nuts. But if you just a motherfucker just doing your ship telling your story that nigga dope that you know, motherfuckers you coming, you could do whatever you want to do in l A and have a great time.

I look at Nipsey and I don't look at I don't know what life story, but I didn't look at nip If nip was was still a part of the life.

I know he was going back to that.

But it was like, damn if you do damn if you don't like like that was like a devastating blow Mega.

Yeah, you know, because he he was.

He was I say, like like Tupac said, the last of a dying breed, you know what I mean? Because he he he was.

He was bringing that ship that that he was doing it in the new era like we was doing when we wanted everybody to know who he was and what was about and telling our story.

So he was the last of a darn breed. You know, you ain't hurting nobody else. That was giving it, putting it out there like that, pushing it like that.

As far as new artists, these these motherfuckers now just they don't percosets and syrup and guns and ship like.

This and the what fuckers all that ship?

Right?

But I mean, I like, don't get me wrong, I ain't hating on the young era. I like a lot of the young ship. I listened to that ship. You know, as the producer, you have to keep your ear to the street.

But it's just.

A lot of that ship is it ain't no structure, right, you know, his ship was structured. You know, it was structured, and he was giving you game along with a movie, along with having fun at the same time and to party all in one just like we did.

Same ship he was.
