Episode description

N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs and we're taking it back to some of the most legendary moments in Drink Champs history Classic interviews, unforgettable stories, and iconic guests who shaped the culture.

In this classic episode of Drink Champs, N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN sit down with none other than Memphis Bleek, the Roc-A-Fella day-one and certified hip-hop historian.

From growing up in Marcy Projects to riding private jets with Hov, Bleek takes us deep into the Roc's golden era—dropping never-heard-before stories, legendary tour moments, and real talk about loyalty in the rap game.

He opens up about his long-standing brotherhood with Jay-Z, how he stayed down when things got messy with Dame Dash, and why he always prioritized loyalty over fame. The conversation dives into everything from backstage chaos, and wild Roc-A-Fella tours, to Bleek’s own music journey and what he's cooking up now.

This episode is more than just a trip down memory lane—it’s Bleek giving flowers, talking growth, and staying true to the code that built an empire. As always, there’s plenty of laughs, drinks, and gems being dropped the Drink Champs way.

Whether you’re a Roc-A-Fella head or just love raw hip-hop storytelling, this episode is a must-listen.

Make some noise for Memphis Bleek! 💐💐💐🏆🏆🏆

Yeah, I don't know, maybe not, but there was a dude going around. This was before internet shit, and this dude's going around saying he's he's taking money, he's uncounted, underground, mixed ninety six everything in freestyles, and.

Speaker 3

He looked like Beans. No.

Speaker 2

Now. What I want to ask you believe is was there ever dipset drama? Was there ever real dipset problems?

Speaker 1

That's what confused me because it's like we men at the end of the day, right, if it's a problem, we're gonna fight. Usually a gun come out because you got punched in your face a lot and you ain't like it, so you ain't got your gun.

Speaker 1

Right, Nothing ever happened, niggas. We's down.

Speaker 7

We in baseline every day, were in the office every day, niggas going on little trips every day, went the pr or everything.

Speaker 1

Nothing. As soon as niggas Rachefeller separated its fuck these niggas, fuck them niggas.

Speaker 7

I still want to know what the drama was about. Wow, I don't know, Like.

Speaker 2

Karen Karen sivil. She did an interview and she said.

Speaker 1

About parking spot.

Speaker 2

Yeah, Cam declined that.

Speaker 1

Cam said, I highly doubt that.

Speaker 10

She said.

Speaker 3

I think she said something is a parking spot.

Speaker 7

Dip said, I want to know how that exists, hoving' driver car since ninety six parking spot.

Speaker 3

Let's make some noise for.

Speaker 2

That man like that. That's it because I remember seeing like like like, uh, you in the club.

Speaker 3

They're in the club and nothing happening like.

Speaker 1

That never happened.

Speaker 7

Nobody got punched in the face till True Life came.

Speaker 1

But to come home.

Speaker 7

So yeah, you know True Life was punched niggas in the face.

Speaker 2

Like but then you know what other than that, I don't know. So you never had an argument with none of them.

Speaker 1

Nothing.

Speaker 7

I went to the movie when they was doing State Property too, and I had to face to face talk with Cam, Dame everybody, and I said that them niggas don't let them know, like yo, my niggas are a problem with the big homie, because if it is, we could go outside, shoot it out, shoot a fair one, gun play had whatever niggas wanted to do. Niggas was looking at me like, nah, it ain't nothing. We're just trying to get money. Everybody want to eat. We got families, defeed.

I respected that. But then when I walked off the trailer, got in my car and parked at my crib, it was nine disc songs. Lay, that's rappers.

Speaker 3

Have you ever seen them recently?

Speaker 2

Like?

Speaker 7

Nah, I seen I seen cam at a at a. I think there was a red Bull show. When I was with just Blaze and Goop, he always showed love. He're here cool nigga, him and.

Speaker 1

Jimmy like, ain't nine niggas ain't gonna what They're gonna run down or Blizzard. I keep that they better run.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I was picking you up earlier. But oh no, no, that was good. Holy moly, guacamoly. This is how it's going down man. So bleep, you're doing the do same thing? Is y'all signing tax stone is that's going down?

Speaker 7

Tax Stoners do save my field?

Speaker 1

Didn't save my fee lp.

Speaker 2

That's what's up?

Speaker 1

Podcast up? Yeah, he's a.

Speaker 2

Great guy man taxes my dude, man. So I heard it's another story that when tax actually filmed whole in the office, like he filmed whole like people thought that he did tax Storm podcast and it was people like Elliott Wilson that was hating hitting hole and saying this, Yo, did you do tax Stone podcast?

Speaker 3

And did you hear anything about that?

Speaker 1

I heard it.

Speaker 7

I don't know what truth it is to it, but I heard it trying.

Speaker 2

To you, trying to shake hold ove up, like yo, how you're gonna do tax own ship before me? And if I want to do tax ship before.

Speaker 3

Him, that's some Brooklyn ship that shut out Brooklyn.

Speaker 2

But we heard Elliott there was a little hated about that. We heard he was little heat and he sent in an email or something. And I don't think the homie hit him back. Since a man that you don't know if.

Speaker 11

It's you, we're gonna make some noise that big be downie us.

Speaker 1

I gotta watch my back.

Speaker 2

But let me tell you about Rockefeller man. Yr dudes really had it, like Rich and Pole and like yall dudes was really balling.

Speaker 1

And it was too much money. My niggas ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 7

I was too young. I wasn't prepared. It was too much money around.

Speaker 2

Do you ever think about all the ship you did? But I'm thirty eight years old?

Speaker 1

How old it would be? Thirty eight?

Speaker 3

Okay?

Speaker 1

They got the same.

Speaker 2

But Yo, you ever think about how much shit? I mean, I did a lot, but I didn't have a cruel niggas that was platinum. Like it was just me like I had I was gold and capone. Let's help me out somehow, you know what.

Speaker 3

He wanted to go to jail.

Speaker 2

Oh my god, so I'm out here do though? Like, but y'all, had you gone go? I got your plaque. I was on making no noise back you was gold? Beans was gold. I think Freeway was gold. I think can't yo Cole super platinum like y'all dudes, was like, I don't know if that error could ever be recreated. I think cash money came close, but it wasn't. Even though like some of y'all was beefing. It was always felt family orientated like Baseline felt.

Speaker 3

It was felt felt ill like.

Speaker 7

It was like if it was any animosity, trust me, that was it was something under the table.

Speaker 1

Ship was never spoken about.

Speaker 7

It was never because when niggas was around each other, everybody was one hundred one and ten percent with he to face.

Speaker 1

That's right. So all that other ship that came out that should be just to sell records.

Speaker 7

They're like niggas got niggas numbers, and you know how to find everybody.

Speaker 1

Be all in the same city. Like think about it. You this a nigga. You recording on fifty ninth Street.

Speaker 12

He recorded on forty four right for real, My nigga got niggas that soft like you.

Speaker 1

Know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7

Like, so we're in the same city. So that animosity ship was never that. It was always family with the team Man, we trucked through each other. I love my niggas Man, Beans, my brother the gunner's kneed.

Speaker 2

Beans. When Beans wild out, it had to hurt you because I know I know what type of person it hurt me. I you love Beans too.

Speaker 7

I love that's my brother. Any interview you ever see, Beans even came at me.

Speaker 12

Rights gotta be hit by the forty four No.

Speaker 2

Right, but y'all when you seen that, what was the first thing you thought you was, like, something's wrong?

Speaker 7

It's you know what? And that's the thing. My nigga stress and make a nigga do things you never thought it was possible, right, Like you know what I mean. It's like unhuman strength. It'll give you like wall, Yes, it makes people do different things and react in certain situations. So I never held any malice towards him, towards it because I ain't like he talked about no personal shape like a sugect like, so it's like it was just that shit, right, So how personal or how personal can

I take that? And that's my brother.

Speaker 1

You can't erase history that that go out together, that part of.

Speaker 6

Uh.

Speaker 2

That was a period where okay, I not lead that in here. That was a period where it was dark for me because I knowing beings and I know how you love him and you ain't gonna love no fake nigga. I ain't like, I mean, I know you for twenty years. I want to say ten because we won't give ye. But I know like and I knew that really wasn't

beings neither like it wasn't him. So it was a dark time for me just seeing those interviews and seeing that because I was one of the dudes, like I was the only dude from Queens that was on streets watching I was the only dude from Queens that did like five movies with them. You were like they always showed me loves and so for me to see that, it turned that way because it's like it was just it was bad for me. It was like as a fan, I didn't look, but I knew. I knew it would

be worked out. I didn't think Hoole will ever forgive him. I thought he would forgive them from far. But when I seen them on the stage, I was like, that's that's that was the biggest monumental thing that you know, anybody can.

Speaker 7

Do at the end of the day. Man, that's right forgiveness and everything. And we all family. Man, we grew up together. Man, cousins, fuck.

Speaker 1

Up brothers, fucking a lot of money out right.

Speaker 7

You know what I'm saying, Like you're not going to disown your family members. And like I said, man, we spent twenty years together. I think I'm at beans. I was seventeen years old, my nay, I told you I'll be thirty eight.

Speaker 1

God bless you know what I mean? Like that, come on, my brother, that.

Speaker 3

Went through a lot life experiences.

Speaker 2

So when you think about it, right like now that you're a grown man, and I think I think, I think you always had a voice in Rockefeller. I just think people you know, you was always smoking weed and ship.

Speaker 3

That's what people didn't realize how smart you was.

Speaker 2

And that's the thing I say that because you ain't. You ain't a new smart nigga like I used to always feel with you, like you ain't too smart nigga. This nigga I was dealing with this nigga back in the day. It's like this nigga is a genius, like like you know what I'm saying. But he had the street nigga roll though, like you know what I'm saying, Like you can tell, like all right, he got to

burn on them, you know what I'm saying. So if there's anything that you regret about the Rockefeller, you know when they went away, what's one thing that you wish you could have fixed?

Speaker 1

Just being more prepared, My nigga.

Speaker 2

I wasn't prepared for the breakup or prepared pare for the whole together, the whole run. If it was your choice, would you have kept it together?

Speaker 7

Yes, definitely, I tried. I had that conversation with Beans. That's I was saying to you, like I remember when Beans when he first felt his way about Jay.

Speaker 1

I don't know if it was the exact moment, but it was the.

Speaker 7

Record when he did it with Kelly and were supposed to put Neo on the record, but he did it with R.

Speaker 2

Kelly Beans and this is when Kelly was suing Hole.

Speaker 7

Yes, okay cool, So you know it was a little thing about that. Niggas ain't feel that, but they went with it. And I guess you know, he wanted Hole to do something and they ain't doing And I'm telling him. I remember having a conversation, a real conversation with Segu and I'm like, yo, my nigga, I just dropped five three four hove on one joint byself, not on none of my records. He ain't getting my video. We did think about it when I did. What you think of

that video? I had to split it in half and do my hood to yell hood because Jane wanted.

Speaker 1

To do the video. That's my brother. If he ain't getting my shit, why he got real talk like That's how I looked at it, Like, my nigga, I'm not mad.

Speaker 2

Like always felt was hard on you all the same.

Speaker 3

I always felt like that all the time.

Speaker 7

Like all the time, my nigga to go to Hole and tell him a story, nigga, I gotta be bleeding. You can't tell hoo yo. The niggas fronted on me. No, you're gonna say, Yo, don't walk down there no more. Stay the fuck over there. I brought you a plane. Why the fuck you walking down there? But let me come in.

Speaker 1

Off as bleeding.

Speaker 7

Oh, we're gonna send the dogs after That's that's Jay like it gotta be serious. Anything else is like my nigga avoided. You know, we ain't trying to get into the bullshit.

Speaker 1

And it's like where everybody with Freeway, I told free the same thing. My nigga, like Yo, Hove is just out of space. You know. It's certain places where artists get where the label will be like.

Speaker 7

Yo, Nah, he can't do no more videos. He did too many videos. You can't do no more. He over succeeded hisself. Like I remember Joe, we're supposed to do a video, Like think about this. Joe did a record with Joe Murder for Life, my record. Joe called me Yore bleaked this shit hard. Let me put it on my album. I let him put it on his album.

Speaker 1

That nigga shot a video for my record with Black Child and to murder without me. I never said that, never felt the way.

Speaker 3

But you wasn't even on the record.

Speaker 2

That the records, shot it at queens.

Speaker 1

Everything.

Speaker 3

He was still body mad forgiving hold what he was like, I gotta get something back.

Speaker 1

But you know certain things.

Speaker 7

You just know a man that's a decision he gonna make, and you, as a man, got to do your thing. You can't held nobody accountable for your.

Speaker 1

Situation and not everything is personal either. You can't point fingers, man.

Speaker 2

Then how about what the CEOs like? If would you want to keep?

Speaker 1

Kept it?

Speaker 2

The same way with Rockefeller Death Jam, with the original Death Jam, with the Leo Cohens, the Randy Actors, the rob Love that was my fair labor what that was.

Speaker 1

The best label at the time. Man hitting me. We had everybody Limber Jazz lady jazz. Okay, looks like everybody were the Sam Crespy Sam Crisp.

Speaker 3

Now, let me tell you, I'm gonna be honest.

Speaker 2

I knew Acannelly was a different type of freak when I like Coconnelly brought me on my first tour. So when I became platinum, I hit number one, the first thing I wanted to do was we pay that favorite that's right, So I brung the Acannelli on the tour. Ocannelly was doing an album called Bennie Hill at the top, so I thought that was like the I got Melvin Flint from that. I was like, Bennie Hill, that was crazy. So we're in the back of the tour. But I've

never really been an official freak. I have had freak days, but I'm like I Am'm like a one man girl, Like you know what I'm saying. I love too hard. But so we're in the back of the tour. Boys, we got some what did you call them? Body? Nickname it that now so dude got and we're all back then we're doing it, and I did the craziest ship I've ever seen in life. He opened up his shirt and start rubbing it. Because I don't do nothing for me, I could what the is that for me?

Speaker 6

Like?

Speaker 2

And he was dead serious.

Speaker 1

Yea for me, this is not.

Speaker 3

Just rubbing his nipples.

Speaker 2

At that moment, I said, this niggas a freak. He's a different type of He's a different He's not like us.

Speaker 3

He's different.

Speaker 2

My nigga is so different.

Speaker 3

Him owning this drip.

Speaker 2

Club makes total sense. I never, like I seen Benny Hill do that, like rub his nipples. I've never seen a.

Speaker 3

Grown ass man in the middle of.

Speaker 4

The game too.

Speaker 3

I don't think he made going, but he tried to smile.

Speaker 2

Any nigga that rubs his nipples, he's liable to do anything.

Speaker 10

He's dangerous in a different way. But the way you doing it right now, I mean in my mind is how it has characters, don't Let's keep in mind, is the first.

Speaker 2

Nigga from left Rack to ever get on on some MC ship. I never met nine, seen Niles or herd of Ize until I seen him with Acha Nelly, So this is still a guard to me. I didn't want to know he was that much of a You rub your honestly, like rub your nipples right now, But what does it do for you? Like, that's nothing for me. So if it does something for you, you sensitive in places you're making it nigga, I can you know he's my brother, but I can hold did a lot of shows in the beginning.

Speaker 7

Oh, she used to be at the crib with us, man, we used to be on that on that grizz nine man.

Speaker 1

Hope is different. Man.

Speaker 2

Now, what happened between jazz? What was that about?

Speaker 7

That was that was I don't know, you know jazz. They older like, so I never was in the middle of that. Jazz was a cool nigga like as far as that, I never really got into what happened.

Speaker 1

I just wanted to make sure it ain't happen to me. You feel me like what they did?

Speaker 2

Alright? Cool?

Speaker 1

I ain't doing that.

Speaker 2

About how many people that you came up, came along with and that you know, because see one thing about hip hop. What I tell people all the time, especially artists, I say, if you want to choose between the hip hop game and the hustling game, I say, pick the hustling game because you're gonna get that money fast, that's right. But if you want to live in hip hop forever, this is a five year two, three, four or five years, you might not even be getting read. You know what

I'm saying. You just gotta you, just gotta grind. You gotta be everywhere at all times. Right, So how do you how do you feel about that?

Speaker 7

Just gotta gotta go with the opportunities present themselves. Man, A lot of people get a deal and think they successful just because you signed the deal. But at the end of the day, the task just began.

Speaker 1

You know what I mean.

Speaker 7

As an artist, your journey had don't begin until you hit the deal.

Speaker 1

That's what I'm saying. It's just like a guy who takes.

Speaker 7

A business loan to open up a store and he goes to the bank, but just the industry charge a lot more interest.

Speaker 1

The interest rate is ridiculous, Yes, a lot, because this is a it's a take me, it's a take business. It's not a give me business hip hop. So you know what I mean.

Speaker 7

For artists to survive, you gotta constantly stay relevant like you gotta. You gotta stay in the public eye, stay on social media, your snapchat gotta be like feel together.

Speaker 2

One of the artists that came to through through through y'all that you could have probably signed, but you you brung it to the office and people ain't see your vision.

Speaker 1

Because I heard a big crit up there.

Speaker 7

I found him on my Space, me and my man agent, you know, shout out my g agent.

Speaker 1

Yeah, we found him on my Space. I brung him up to young.

Speaker 2

I also heard you brung Lil Wayne. I heard you was the guy that said Lil Wayne is the next dude we should sign it.

Speaker 1

Yeah, not Weezy. Weezy been on. No.

Speaker 2

I'm talking about like you know, like when.

Speaker 1

He was talking about leaving cash money.

Speaker 2

And that Hey, I heard that was you.

Speaker 7

Yeah, yeah, I told niggas about him, but like you know, raw, so I put niggas on the roar, big krit fucking jeezz No just t I, like you know, you ain't know about t I back then now over T I mad cool.

Speaker 1

I put a lot of people on it, so I just try to show love. If you got the.

Speaker 7

Real talent and it's real, I'm gonna put you in that position. It's just like Manolo. Like I know, Manola my whole life, his brother, me and his brother, Me and his brother, like you know, it's cousins. We all fucked with each other. So you know, I'm older.

Speaker 1

Than his brother. He a little younger than me, but we all grew up together.

Speaker 7

So you know, to see Manola come up and doing this thing, my first thing was to reach out to him.

Speaker 1

Yon my nigga. Anything I could do for you, We're gonna make it happen for you.

Speaker 2

At first, real nigg let me just before because I got two more questions. But before we go any further. You never changed on me.

Speaker 1

Not one leg.

Speaker 7

That's real shit though, can't change because like I look at a lot of people change.

Speaker 2

You just get a little crazy.

Speaker 1

All right, This industry is different.

Speaker 7

Now when I tell I'm gonna take you back to the beginning, when I said I wasn't prepared. Now, think about a lot of artists go through some shit. They make demos, they.

Speaker 1

Try to get on niggas shit on them.

Speaker 7

They standing outside the studios for two hours for a nigga. Give them a break, So they have already sat in their mind. When I make it shit on these niggas, you will feel me. Son't mind you. I never made a demo tape. I never ran down on a nigga. Yo, I rack listen to my record. I never knew my man from the fifth floor was gonna be the guarden.

Speaker 1

See, I just was rolling, you know what I mean? This shit just happened.

Speaker 7

So how can I act funny to a nigga that something that was given to me?

Speaker 1

Just why I try to get back my nigga.

Speaker 2

So now we ask everybody who was your favorite CEO? And I was about to say you I was gonna eliminate somebody's biased, man. But it's okay. We were biased on this. You can hear you beg.

Speaker 1

Man.

Speaker 7

I had deals on the table before I signed with Rockefeller. I had a bunch of deals. I remember my manager wanted to fucking beat the ship out of me. Bigga wanted to beat me up because we stay. Yeah, because we Jay didn't even have Rockefeller yet.

Speaker 2

I heard you didn't even have a contract. Nothing we make doing drug dealer movies. You can only do that with another drug dealer. Another drug gonna say that another is that to me? They never gave me a contract. I was like, you don't want to come because I know contract.

Speaker 3

Come with advance. I was like, they were so rich at the time. I said, you don't.

Speaker 1

Want a contract, give me the chance. Friend.

Speaker 2

So so your favorite was whole. That's a beautiful thing because we had Jada kiss the locks and all them CEOs that they have and they said, d n y So this is beautiful that you're biased.

Speaker 1

But I gotta we could be biased. I gotta put j and Dame up there, though.

Speaker 14

You gotta put now get credit to day for you gotta put I'm gonna be.

Speaker 2

I'm gonna be honest. One of the worst meetings I ever had in my life.

Speaker 3

Video Huh is it a video?

Speaker 2

Yes, it's one of the worst meetings I ever had in my life. But it's a great mean. I got to I got the number one record with the Spanish record right. Oh you be gone though, that's right. The number one record. But mind you that Jam told me throw that ship out on your own, So I do this shit out on my own. That's she got five hundred spins the original Yeah, five hundred spins. The niggas is like, so what eleven hundred spins. Some niggas like

What are you doing seventy five hundred spins? The niggas was like, bring my record up here, and I was like, you just told me I could throw that shit out on my own.

Speaker 3

They said, we never said that to me, Like, this is real business with a straight face to me.

Speaker 2

So they was like, Yo, look we're gonna give you such and such for the the.

Speaker 3

Video whatever whatever.

Speaker 2

So I was like, all right, cool, because I always looked at it like I sell crack and this is I'm selling heroin on the side. I don't really care what I make from this shit. So I'm walking into the building of Death Jam to have the meeting about my video. So Dame goes to me, he goes, yo, you're supposed to have a meeting about your video, right, and how he knew this? I knew No. I'm like, I'm not in the illuminati, especially at that time. They

just set to my invitation. So sodos you're about to have that video?

Speaker 6

Ma.

Speaker 2

I'm like, yeah, how you know He's like chill fifteen minutes. So I walk in there. You know, this is fat Kevin Lows, who is the best Kevin Low, Fat.

Speaker 8

Kimlllows, the best Kevin Lows, especially now he's still a great guy, but Fat Kema Lows is the best, right you can get anything out of him.

Speaker 2

So so I walk into office.

Speaker 3

I have no idea, right.

Speaker 2

I walk in the office and Kevin's like, yo, so you know we're gonna give you fifty thousand. We're gonna give you like twenty five thousand for this video. We're gonna go higher. This is like, you know, this is still the days where we were on film. We're not digit Yeah, so dame walk dude.

Speaker 3

I just agreed. He was like, here, you want the fifty.

Speaker 2

I was like, yeah, I take the fifty because it's all you Meconda the Spanish record. I'm not really crazy, like I just want to do it, like you know what. Dame walked in. He was like, I swear to god, smoke machine started like I don't think it's whole machine, but in my mind a smoke machine. He was like, what's up fat boy in the CAV And I was like, I'm looking at myself, like what the fun? Me and Dame we don't talk like that, Like what is this going on? And he's like yeah, He's like, Cav, how

much you told Normy his video? He should shoot? And keV is like that's between me and Nori and Dame is like, nor do you mind? I'm like not really, I mean alright, cool. He's like, yo, oh he just offered you thirty five thousand for your video and keV is like that's me and Norris. Shit the nigga. Dame brung out the books. Yeah, you know you always had showing the book nigga's like I had the number one record.

Ll had just got approved for a five hundred and fifty thousand dollars video, Mariah Carey had just got approved for four hundred thousand dollars video. Job rule all the you know, all people who are actually predominantly selling more records than me. But at the time, when you got the number one record, you are number one. So Dame was like, you see how these record label dudes do you?

They think you don't know nothing. They're gonna give you a little thirty five hundred thirty five thousand dollars videos. So Kep is like, that's what Noory agreed to it, and I did. I'm like, words, I didn't agree because I could even work.

Speaker 5

Wonders with thirty five thousand that time, you were have pocketed ten.

Speaker 2

But maybe I don't know. I'm not sure I would have put it all on film. That's how they said my Dame single handed lead. Oh he was an asshole about it, like he showed him the numbers. How could you approve l L for this video? How can you and this? Norri? I ain't no no better. And that did tell me a lesson because when Rockefeller Niggas was rocking, hole was the the the big dude. But then Dame

was a dude taking care of the business. Although he did it absolutely wrong, one heart was in the right place, was.

Speaker 1

In the right place because he helped me out of a major gym.

Speaker 7

That's why I always got a special bomb with that nigga behind that man, I almost signed a bad management deal. Niggas trying to take that was in the beginning I heard. I heard about the niggas trying to take fifty percent of everything.

Speaker 3

It's before you signed a rock.

Speaker 7

They think that was like, my nigga, get you a lawyer. So I'm like, yeah, they got.

Speaker 1

Me this lawyer. You know who the lawyer was, come back combat Jack Jerky he bought and jerked YouTube.

Speaker 2

I ain't never signed it.

Speaker 1

I never signed the deal.

Speaker 3

Oayer.

Speaker 2

That was the found nigga was combat Jack. They said lawd's for combat Jack, not only being found he's a foul nigga, but he was hate him, right, he hates you, right, I think, so look, my best friend is hate this is what We're gonna throw voodoo on combat.

Speaker 1

But I never signed this. So Dame said that. He was like, Yo, you bucking, I'm gonna get you a better lawyer, get your situation, get you right.

Speaker 2

And he helped me out better than combat Jack. So damn new combat was a piece of ship for a long comeback is a good comeback is my nigga. That's what Reggio says Reggio, Nigga.

Speaker 3

What's his name?

Speaker 2

Reggio says that time it wasn't combat He's the weir Penny.

Speaker 3

He's the weird of Penny. Look, he's my friend.

Speaker 2

He's my friend. Now we're podcast friends. But nothing will change the fact that he jerked me my very first name.

Speaker 1

You know, this is the industry for that.

Speaker 2

If you don't know, no, listen, listen combat Jack. Listen. This is how you know I'm coming. I'm selling crack right, just how I knew the deal was wrong. They paid combat Jack five thousand, they paid Tragedy five Reggie Oh says five thousand, They paid Tragedy five thousand, they paid copone five thousand, and they paid Norri five thousand. But what fucked up is I got it in cash. I wasn't the smartest snigger in the world, but I knew

this was wrong. From that moment, I was like, what I got paid like a block?

Speaker 1

They just gave me.

Speaker 2

An invelope with slam morning it said Nori. But in my mind, what the fuck? Y'all was trying to kill combat Jack For least two years, I was having chicks. I'm gonna be honest, this is real shit. I was having chicks mess with him, saying your where's he at? Just you know, slip up. It wasn't Molly back then, but in my mind it was Molly slip of ecstasy and this joint. Let him go to sleep and then call me. It never happened. Combat Jackie Lucky, I got love for you. Now I grew up and I'm helder

and so Combat Jack. You're cool, but your podcast doesn't exist. Calm relax. You want to edit this out.

Speaker 7

Like I did like I feel like unless something called triple platinum, what I'm doing that what I'm gonna do that?

Speaker 1

I didn't do it right where I'm gonna go.

Speaker 7

I haven't been what crowd I'm gonna perform for that I didn't perform for. I didn't performed everywhere on this planet. And I wor so I still I don't perform. Been around the planet five six times. Man, I'm thankful, Like you know what I mean, Niggas still traveling like this ship is. It's a blessing.

Speaker 1

Man.

Speaker 7

We hear from what we wrote on paper, my nigga like lo my hood story.

Speaker 1

He's got us sitting right here.

Speaker 2

So now I heard you say that Drake is cheating because he's holding us.

Speaker 2

He said, that was right.

Speaker 3

I always put an on ten.

Speaker 7

Without ghost writers. A lot of mcs in this game. You gotta just take away if you look, bring it.

Speaker 2

Down, trying to get this out.

Speaker 7

Of If you like Little Kim and five see erase it, you like Puff for the Family album, erasing, you like Ben's mocky.

Speaker 2

Easy easy, easy, easy, erase it.

Speaker 1

Just take it all out your history books and then we could call a spade a spade.

Speaker 2

You feel me, you have an as hole around for you.

Speaker 7

Hell yeah, he did. It's gonna come into age. I ain't even I even have input on it. Then I went to his crib with the whole nod. I spit Nigga like her, here go on a piece of paper, my niggas fast you remember that, as fast you be on.

Speaker 1

What's all? I went back to the crib re wrote that.

Speaker 7

Ship went back and said, my nigga, I got it, that's gone, and that was it. Wor like a lot of people, like ghost writers been in the game. Some people could it's the artist. Some people is just writers like my nigga. Like if you three hundred and fifty pounds, you in the back sweat and every time you breathe, but your pen game is on fire.

Speaker 1

Better go to the gym and fire you a little patigue something that's gonna sing it for you.

Speaker 7

Because yes, Ship, right, you feel me and that's real. So every R and B singer take them out your history books.

Speaker 2

Like, yeah, R and B, we's.

Speaker 1

Still a talent man like right, and this music is harmony is notes.

Speaker 5

But Kars put it in perspective that we never really thought of it the way he said it.

Speaker 2

Yeah, Caros is too positive for him. Nigga said the nigga said, because technically none of us.

Speaker 3

Write our right. I looked at the nigga like, wait a minute. I looked at the nigga like.

Speaker 2

Wait a minute, because God writes so that ship.

Speaker 1

I don't think. I don't think God want me to say fuck them bitches.

Speaker 2

Maybe God, maybe God does you know, you know what I mean. God got a sense of humor. But Yo, bleak man, we want to thank you for hanging out. We appreciate you, you know, being You ain't stopped me one time. You ain't say I want to talk about.

Speaker 3

That, And that's that's beautiful.

Speaker 2

That's the thing about this, this this thing is a lot of people are hitting me that new artists and they want to be a part of that part of this.

Speaker 3

And the thing about it.

Speaker 2

Is you'll have the game to be a part of your new artists. This is not the game to create the lane.

Speaker 1

Man.

Speaker 2

I think that they should sit around and they should be fans of this show as to want to be a part of the show. Some of you guys, we could have you give you a horn, you know what I'm saying. But but that's what greatness is. Like I didn't I didn't want to watch basketball. I didn't watch basketball. I just want to jump on the court. I always watched it and I studied it more. And that's what we're doing. We want to give a place that people

can tell these stories. And because this is real shit like that Rockefeller story on that private plane has never been told.

Speaker 1

I wish people could have been there, Like.

Speaker 3

Even I didn't wish people know. I wish the people that was deal would have woke up. I wish people would be It.

Speaker 7

Was just to see it because even like in The Fade, the Black movie, they cut my scene because.

Speaker 3

It just was a lot of ship, that ship on the fad of black people.

Speaker 2

Who cuts your scene, Let's talk about it. Don't know editing room, Let's talk about that.

Speaker 1

But I was just trying to tell niggas like.

Speaker 7

It was a situation where Dan was telling everybody that they're gonna retire like Jay.

Speaker 1

We all gonna retire like Jay. Everybody, all of everybody's not good.

Speaker 7

And I was telling niggas, no, we ain't even me, my nigga, Are you fucking kidding me? You telling me that I'm gonna go out like this at Madison Square? Guard, Are you fucking kidding me that ain't gonna happen, my nigga, unless God.

Speaker 1

Come down here, write these rhymes for me, spit this ship and I go quadruple platinum tomorrow, then maybe we go out like that. But I'm telling niggas, Hove go out the way he going out because he spit that ship, that nigga.

Speaker 2

And and that's it, my nigga. We nobody don't remember y'all grind before the buggy I been like, see, y'all killed the game when when Rock and Feller had the buggy Eye Bens and the Buggy Ie Bens was the But y'all was grinding before that.

Speaker 4

The assoi.

Speaker 7

In my lifetime was even man, it was driving before that. Like I remember, we did a show as Syracuse. Man, it's how you know, ho of a real dinger. We did a show at Syracuse. I'm fourteen, can't even drive nothing, no license, can't drive nothing, right, So you know, it's a couple of niggas in the car for guy who was with us, so Jay, we put he pull over to the gas station, like yo, somebody get out, pumped the gas. Nobody wanted to get out. Pumped the gas

because it's freezing. Money it's snowing. We in Syracuse is snowing like a motherfucker. So hole like, I'm right, I'm aa pump the gas. He pumps the gas. Nigga goes in the trunk though don't tell nobody nothing, comes out the trunk with his big ass coat on, jumps in the car and do two hundred on the highway with the windows down.

Speaker 9

God, niggas don't want to pump gas.

Speaker 2

Oh man, yo, bleak man, I really appreciate this man for real, you said that. I mean, I knew you was gonna do it. But you know, what we're trying to do is just to keep hip hop spirit alive. That me personally, that conversation that me and you had outside where we was, it was crazy to see your growth. That me and you are growing at the same time. It's similar to the same age. I'm a year probably older than you. I'm thirty eight. Well I'm going on

That's right, Like Joe, Like even when I told Joe I was like, Yo, Bleak is my man, he was like, for real, he always kind of acts tough around me. I was like, you probably act tough around it. Like y'all niggas don't never spoke. That's the thing about rap beefs. Rap beefs have nothing to do with nothing. They just

don't speak to each other. And that's you know what I'm saying, Like you could have just spoke to him and be like Yo, it's like the craziest ship is you know who you remind me of so much jungle and jungle. When I'm around jungle, he reminds me of you because you just one loyalty, your big homie, and that's it. There's no questions asked, Like I've seen niggas come around you and say yo yo yo yo, So what's up? Hold like that's whole. You just been like
