The Jaystone episode of the Bootleg

cap Podcast. I believe episode number thirty three, but I might be fucking wrong. I think it's episode thirty two. I don't know. It's probably if you just look at your phone, it's on the description. Let's get into it, Blutley Cab Podcast. Man, we got the homie Jay Stone in here. Welcome. What's up? What's up? What's up? Man? What's up? Cav Hey? Yeoh we chilling man? Listen to your new album. The definition of pain is uh is? Well, look what's today? This is gonna release when this the

album is out? All right? Bet so the album is out a great body of work. Man. You know, I got to appreciate you sending it over early so I could tap in with it. Man. Definitely a very personal project. I feel like, obviously with the title, Man, kind of give us a little window into your thought process behind naming the album what you named it. I mean, you know, you know Nick really gave it these titles. You know what I'm saying. With the definition of loyalty, Yeah, you

know what I'm saying. You know, I let him hear a lot of songs and shit before I even drop the definition of LOALTI and Bro. It's like, Man, just based on the stories and you know what I'm saying, you're giving the g CODs on shit. And you know what I'm saying, Like, man, your album should be called the Definition of Loyalty. You know what I'm saying, because what I'm getting from these records is like loyalty shit

like that. You feel me? And he like, Man, your next album should be the definition of of something else. You know what I'm saying, pain, sacrifice, success, you know what I'm saying. I just got to start thinking about all that shit. I'm like, that's a nigga life right there, though, if you think about it. Yeah, you you know, early on in the project you're talking, you know, for people who don't know, kind of give us the background. You lost your mom and you were three years old. She

was young. I think you said she was twenty five. She was only twenty five, you know what I'm saying. And I was only three. So your auntie helped raise you. Yeah, my auntie. You know what I'm saying, which was her sister. What happened with your mom? Why did you pass up early? If you don't want to share a shit the police, man, you know what I'm saying. That was nineteen eighty nine. You feel what I'm saying. Uh, the cracked epidemic was crazy. You know what I'm saying. The police force in the

streets was crazy. You know what I'm saying. It was just a war on drugs, you feel me. So any anybody out there that was selling or using there was a target period. You know what I'm saying, You go to jail, get killed in the process of that shit. So your mom was killed during an interaction with the cops. Yeah, man, shit, man, she got pulled over on some shit. Man, you know what I'm saying. And shit, I don't think she wants

to go to jail. You feel me. She probably talked to him crazy, probably resisted the arrest or some shit who knows he's crazy too, Because like we think about police brutality, and however, the last like seven eight years, it's been so magnified in social media. Yeah, but it's crazy because when you go back and you watch like you know, obviously not being from la I'm from Phoenix, but like watching like you know, the Menace to societies, the boys in the hoods, and like the way the

cops were portrayed in those movies. It's like almost like it was worse back then and there was no cameras. Yeah, it was worse back then. Like they fabricated how the police really act in the movies and like like like they dumbed it down. They done, they dumbed that shit down, but they over exaggerated how niggas programmed in the streets. You get what I'm saying. The streets was turned up, Like, don't get me wrong, but you know, like the movies, they made it a little bit dramatic, you feel what

I'm saying. Yeah, how like you know, at three years old, I don't remember much from three years old obviously, Like what was that like though? Kind of like you know, like how did your family kind of what you were getting older? Like you know what I'm saying, Like, how do they kind of let you know what happened? Because that's kind of a tough thing to tell a kid on this is what happened to you know. Look, so that's why I kept getting like different stories. You feel

what I'm saying. I had to put this ship together because I would ask, you know what I'm saying, my auntie, I asked, you know what I'm saying, A cousin or uncle or somebody, and I get all different stories, right because because you're a kid, they don't want to probably either spare my feelings or they didn't even know you get what I'm saying. So it was just I was getting different stories. So like the three different stories I got, I put them all together, and you know what I'm saying.

Came down to the bottom of that ship and I asked my granddaddy like, hey, man, this, like did this happen? He like, that's exactly what happened. You feel what I'm saying, because they telling me she this, she dad, you know what I'm saying. So once I got the real my granddaddy was like, man, that's exactly what happened, Like, you

know what I'm saying. So for people who obviously kind of break down like the section of l A you're from, Like, you know, I think anybody who's fans and nip and are already tapped in with your movement kind of already understand where you're from. But like for people who are watching this who don't know, kind of like give us a background on what part of LA you're from. I'm from LA. I'm from South Central you know what I'm saying,

the Crenshaw district. You know what I'm saying. I grew up on eighth Ave, you know what I'm saying, went the Hyde Park Elementary, went to Crenshaw High, Washington High. You know what I'm saying. It's crazy because because Crenshaw High has become like a cultural like landmark, you know. And I know Nip had a lot to do with that, like even back to when he had those pony shoes and they were the blue and the yellow and yeah,

hell yeah, yeah, hell yeah. Man. Crenshaw. Crenshaw itself, man, you know what I'm saying, got a history within itself. You feel what I'm saying, And and and and Nip and Nip. You know what I'm saying. He just recreated the history of it. You know what I'm saying. We had history then with the Darryl Starberry and of course you know what I'm saying, and all that, and yeah, man, it brought that ship back to life, bro in no

worldwide international scale, like you know what I'm saying. You say, Nip, you got out of jail, and Nip put you on the beat as soon as you got out. Soon I came on so give us a little background on your relationship with Nip How y'all how you guys originally linked up and obviously for you to get out of jail and then automatically, you know, be tapped in with it with the with the homie, Like like, give us, give us a little background on that man. Hell yeah, I

mean ship. When I got out of jail and ship man Bro came and picked me up. You know what I'm saying from jail. He like, Bro, Man, we can we could do whatever. Well, shit, what year wasn't it like he didn't been in jail so many times? He's like every time? Everyway year we talking about what we talk about? Twenty thirteen when I finally got my shit together, came home January twenty thirteen with a plan, with a plan not to go back and just get it. You stay in the studio, you feel me. So Bro asked

me what I want to do. He said that I don't want to go some hose nigga. We go get on the helicopter, we go do whatever. You feel what I'm saying. I'm like, Bro, take me straight to the studio. Wow, you know what I'm saying. And we went straight to the studio. That's crazy, cracking. He threw me on the beat.

We got cracking and there You're right, Yo, it's crazy because like what you just said is like you've been like you, you've been to jail multiple times, and there in twenty thirteen, you finally kind of was like, Okay, Yeah, I feel like a lot of a lot of Like I have cousins who have been in and out of jail NonStop their whole life, right, and it's like a lot of it it's hard to get someone to really understand why they they're in that position over and over again.

A lot of it has to do with the people you surround yourself with, the circumstances you choose to be around. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, Because after a while they think, yo, ass dumb. They'd be like, man, this niggas stupid. This nigga like jail or something. Why this nigga keep going back? Yeah? Like what Likestand I would ask you, like, what is some advice you give somebody who has that problem? Because there are people who are

good people who just keep getting wrapped up. And you know that the cycle of just going in and out of jail every couple of years. You know what I'm saying, to be honest, To be honest with niggas, man like on some real shit. The system is set up for a nigga to stay in there to go back. You feel what I'm saying, Like they be pulling fifteen year olds over you know what I'm saying, fresh school because they want you on probation early. They want to get

you on paperwork, get your on probation. The nigga just fuck you over every time, strip for your rights. So then when you do go to jail and you get out and you're still on probation or you're on parole, any little thing that you do violation. Yeah, I could be chilling with my family member and this nigga on probation and parole, but you can't be affiliated with those kind of people. Bro. Yeah, so that shit right there? Have your ass back fast. Yeah, that's but I feel

like that's the biggest loophole. It's like, especially if you're from where you're from, It's like, Yo, so you're telling me I can't be around my my cousins or yeah, you know what i'mybody, that's you know what I'm saying, affiliate. But that's them their whole la. Oh you can't live in the gang neighborhood, the whole la, right right right, grand Mom staying in somebody hood, Auntie staying at somebody hood, mom staying in somebody hood. You feel what I'm saying.

Help me understand. On the on the album, you say, Baron Davison, Roddy Rich your blood cousin. Yeah, real talk, so your blood cousins, Roddy and Baron. Real Talk said I didn't know. I didn't even know that Roddy and Baron related like that. They probably don't even know. They probably didn't even know. You feel what I'm saying, Like, it just it just it just it took a nigga a little bit later to know that part. You feel what I'm saying, especially Roddy because my bro hit me

was like he was like, you know, Roddy, that's our cousin. Right, that's a little you know what I'm saying. It's a little government that you're like, you know that's I'm like, yeah, nigga, Roddy is my my g pops, my g No, my uncle is his g pops. Oh shaw that go. So you guys are like for real, related, that's crazy. You guys have my dad, that's my dad brother, my dad brother. My dad brother is my uncle. That's that's that nikked Grandaddy? Were you like, like, is that something you found out

recently or was that? Man? Yeah, I just found that out recently, bro, Like you've probably been around him and ship not even new pop his g Pops is my favorite uncle. Oh wow, Okay, Like that's that's what's crazy about it. Damn. So you were like you guys because I'm assuming you're around like with the racks in the middle, uh in the video. That's what I'm saying. I was just obviously, you know, he always tells us that story

about how how legendary that session was, you know. But yeah, but you didn't even know that was your cousin at the time. That shit crazy, that part. I didn't know. I found that out later on in the game. No, that's crazy. That's crazy. How this should be, bro? Yeah? Super crazy? What about obviously Baron Davis, legendary LA figure, one of the more most slept on point Guard's NBA history. Man, he's super tapped in as well, you know, shout out

to be Diddy. Uh? You you guys have a strong relationship or a sure Hell yeah, yeah, I put up on him faithfully. You know what I'm saying. We had talks. You know what I'm saying. We catch up this How was it nice to have when he was on the Clippers? Was that nice to have? Like? Man, that's why, that's why I'm a hell of a Clipper fan right now, you know what I'm saying from l A. But like you know what I'm saying, My cousin Baron played for the clipp He was balling out when he was on

the Clippers for real. Yeah. I had Nigga play for the Clippers, the Warriors, Hornets, Hornets, Knicks for a little bit, Nicks for a little bit. You know what I'm saying. You know, the Warriors was the wave though when he when they had that uh that season where they where they upset the one seed. I think it was to beat the Mavericks in round one. It was like Matt Barnes, Davis, Michael Pitcher, that ship was legendary. Yeah, that's crazy. So

this album, man, super personal album. I feel like, you know, you got some records on here that are crazy. You got two Nipsy features on this project that are like very special records. I feel like the Lebron James record with Dom Kennedy is is a bang yeah, And I feel like the other one is one of the better NIP verses I've heard in a long time. Man Like yeah, he got off on that ship. Yeah, now do you now?

Go ahead? Go ahead? Nah? No, go ahead. I was gonna say, like, what is the process of Like how many unreleased NIP records do you have? Obviously your home team, so I'm assuming that you you you you have some you know, I know, you know Dave's who's on your project a couple of times as well, he's you know, he's got some ship with him that no one's heard. But like see see now that lap you know what I'm saying, that second song you heard you feel Me?

That was like an energy that we was in the studio and had did like Cousin went crazy and then I went crazy, Right, But the verse that I use is not is not even that verse. You feel what I'm saying. Bro was like he said, Nigga, everything you said on there was the money. He said, just changed the first four boards. He said, you changed the first four boards. He said the rest of that shit is money. So instead of change in the four boards, I just

changed the whole verse and just went crazy. Yeah you spat, you know because nip kicked that thing off man on fire. Yeah, but we held on to her for a cool minute, right right, you know what I'm saying, We ain't do shit to it. So after a while it just started getting outdated. I'll revamped the beat and I'm like, man, this shit perfect for the album. Yeah, because I know that Nipsey was like very uh like he had an

intent when he recorded. It wasn't like Nipsey wasn't the kind of guy who would, like, you know, do one hundred and fifty songs and like, you know, you know there's those artists that like quantity over quality sometimes, right, But I feel like nip everything he did was like very specific. It had purpose. It was like, you know, like so so in your in your estimation, like how much Nipsy versus records that are you know on hard drive somewhere that we haven't heard yet? Hey, man a lot.

It's so his music. This nigga then did bro like you you you wouldn't even imagine Bro, It's ship that I haven't even heard when I thought I heard everything. You know what I'm saying, is there a have you heard any I like like plans obviously pop smoke past and we got a crazy album from him after he

did after he died, and I think that. You know, a lot of Nipsey fans are like, I wonder if we're gonna get one more Nipsey project, And I know it's not gonna be as cohesive because you know, he's not here to if it were to happen, he's not here, it's gonna take a lot of production. It's gonna take a lot of you know, is that something that's been discussed on. It's gonna It's gonna definitely be another nip album, you know what I'm saying. But you know you got

to take time with that though. All money in so you know, we ain't gonna put out nothing, Mickey or do it just exactly? You know what I'm saying. You guys felt like, like, you know what I'm saying, resting piece of pot. I feel like if they would have held on to his music a little bit more, you know what I'm saying, and put it out the right way, it would have been see different but the music was

still good and we needed at that time. So you know, yeah, they definitely after after Pac died, I feel like they didn't take their time with putting together those projects as much as they probably could ask. And Nip had his brand and his image so so so strong and tight, like you can't you know what I'm saying, you can't do the park on them with the mcavelly one, mcavelly fifteen. Remember all those CDs Botlegsave. I remember just hearing about all those and then when Napster came out, I was

downloading all the fucking Tupac bootlegs off the fucking internet. Man. Yeah, that's crazy, Yeah, because I do think there is something to be said about like with Pac, like there was like some of those post depth albums that were solid, but some of them just felt like they just kind of kind of threw shit together and it was like kind of threw shit together where they could have waited.

And then there was the one album that had like features with people he probably never would have like never even did a song where Bro, why is doing a song with Trick Daddy and and all like and g united Ship, Like Bro, like you didn't even know these cats, you know what I'm saying, Like, and I feel like with with Nip, it's got to be very You gotta take your time. If that project happens, everything's got to be super you know. I mean the same way he

took his time as Victory Lap. Yeah, and it was a perfect album for sure, in the same way, you know what I'm saying. So that'd be crazy though if we hear that, man, Yeah, that'd be crazy. I don't know. I really can't say, but I just well, you did

say earlier. But listen, man, shout out to NIP. I hope I hope we hear uh, because you know, some of these verses that have been coming out Deep Reverence with Sean was crazy, Uh, you know the stuff on your albums, like there's been some the the obviously the Kalid record was special. Yeah, I'm glad that they that they got to release that video. Yeah, Nip got a chance to pull up on cal it at his crib. You know what I'm saying. They vibed out and knocked

that shit out there. I was talking to Dave East and he said that you guys might be doing a collapse project. You and Dave East. We definitely like halfway through an EP. You know what I'm saying. I mean he's on. I mean, look, you guys got some great records together right now, yeah, right now. Yeah you heard you heard like two of them already for show for show. Yeah.

So uh, because I know Easton Nippe talked about working together, So that's got to be a very important like, uh, you know, A Dave's one of the realist dudes in him. Just a great guy, man, very genuine dude. He's solid, bro. So you guys are halfway through it, yeah, halfway through and were ready to go. Man, We're going. We were ready to just finish this ship, get it going, you know what I'm saying. Him and Nip obviously was working on one, you know what I'm saying, and man, were

just gonna keep this ship going. Help me understand the T. How'd you get T Paint on this album? Man? Because I was just listening with I looking at the track lists, I heard TA Pain. I was like, oh, ship, yeah, man, T Pain on the shout out the T. I though, man, for real, I'll put it up on him. And we got in the studio and uh, the producer that produced for uh for Tip you know what I'm saying, have

some music for me. Yeah, he had the T Paint hook. Yeah, he been holding on that for me, Like, Bro, I've been having this record for you. Man, I've been sitting on this record for you. He had hit me in June and told me about it. So did you have to pain to clear it? Obviously? Right, like of course, and he gave you the blessing. Yeah, we got the blessings man shut out the Tip man. So T I

helped kind of run that. Come on man, hey, that's crazy, yeah, because it sounded like some vintage like, you know, something like all the above era T Pain. I was like this ship, I haven't heard paint it. I was like this in a minute, classic shit certainly, so kind of you know, there's there's been so much, you know, controversy since since it passed away. On the album, you kind of address whack Uh some of the things he said. I forget the line. It was very specific. You know,

I've known Whack for a long time. I can't say anything bad about the dude, to be honest with you. He does have his opinions on things that he has no problem sharing vocally. Is there like you know, a conversation to be had with with someone like Whack who. You know. I know that there was like that incident that happened rolling Loud, and you know, is there any sort of conversation to be had to kind of get past that that. I ain't no talking with that nigga. Man,

ain't no talking with him straight up. Nigga said too much about the bro. You feel me, so it ain't nothing. It ain't nothing to be said. You feel me, You say how you feel? All right? Cool? Right, you know what I'm saying. You're gonna have to see a nigga one day, That's fair. We'll leave it at that, man. You know, And I ain't even really want to speak up on that nigga. You feel what I'm saying. But I mean you addressed it on the album, so it's

like you know what I mean. Yeah, you know, I just I just like always like to see people trying to move past that kind of shit, you know, but like, you know, hey, it is what it is. We leave it at that. Uh. Like I feel like with this project, you're you're in a really great position to kind of you know, I feel like people kind of associate you as like nips homie, right, Yeah, that's my day one. Right.

But but I think that this album is like an album that it's kind of like it feels like you're like your rival where you're it's like, yeah, that's that's that's Jay Stone who happens to be Nipsey's homie. Like, you know, do you understand what I'm trying to say? I mean I kind of get it. Yeah, Like I feel like this album is like a big statement for

you as an artist, exact like that. Like I say, like the definition or law to you was like it was like a demonstration, but this one is like like, Nigga, this is my staff right here, Like this shit was for real and it is for real and I'm here, so get used to me, feel me? What do you like? What's your thoughts on you know a lot of these lists have been coming out, and I feel like, obviously LA is always getting overlooked. You know, Head always talks about that shoutouts to Head. A lot of hip hop

media is East Coast biased. What is your kind of thought process on where LA hip hop is right now? I mean, I think we're in a good space right now. Everybody doing their shit, man, shut out everybody on the West that's doing the shit. You know what I'm saying lyrically, and you know what I'm saying, shit, I just feel like, you know, you can say like the West need this and the West need that, and we don't need this

and we don't need that. But if shit, if you actually everybody else bro on the outside looking in, we're looking good. I mean, listen to sounding good. I also feel like there's a lot more unity right now in LA than in the pasture with the younger with especially with the younger kids that are doing their thing, you know for sure, and it could be a lot more. It could be a lot more. That's probably like the only thing that we lack, you feel what I'm saying.

To the South, they go do songs with each other, you know what I'm saying. They go sit in the studio and do ten records today. But like, look, here's a twenty one Savage offset album and exactly yeah me, Like, I don't know, I work like that. That's how I work, right,

You know what I'm saying. I don't think niggas can get in the studio with me like that, you know what I'm saying, Do you think it's it's a lot of it is, is the politics side of LA sometimes just kind of you know, not that not that somebody doesn't fuck with an artist, but it's like sometimes it's like, look, well, like you know, sometimes the politics kind of get in in the middle of certain people collaborating, you know what

I'm saying. Definitely, like like I remember, it's kind of like everywhere you go now though if you think about it, I mean, that's just pretty much anywhere in hip hop, Like I mean, it's really out here though for sure, as far as you know, I'm talking about the street politics, off the street politics. Yeah, Like because there was a bro as a as a fan I was, I was always there was like one of the one record. I

always like one of the one collapse. I wanted. I wanted to hear Nipsey and school Boy Q on some ship, you know what I'm saying. And you know, obviously there's no secret if you're from LA as to why that probably didn't happen. It wasn't like there was beef or anything. But I feel like that there's definitely, like you know, with the young kids right now, at least like the one take Jay's the Hazy hikes, you know, the shoreline

kids Rucci. Like, it feels like there's just a lot more camaraderie with the younger generation of LA right now, and it's just good to see man for sure. Yeah, who who were you? We were talking earlier, like, Man, I'm a hip hop head. You know, definitely, bro, because you know what I'm saying, I was out bro growing up in this ship. Bro, we had the box. You know what I'm saying. Of course, like video channel, the box, Like come on, you know what I'm saying. Ship like that.

The box was crazy and then uh, you know my cousins and ship. You know, they used to always listen to all that eighties rap. You feel me? So I was. I was already. I was already listening to that ship. What's your what's your favorite? Like, Like, give me, like your top three albums of all time? If you get and and excluding Victory Laps, it's got to be in there, I'm assuming. I mean, Victory Lap is just all you know what I'm saying, that's just up there. You're already

of course, of course, you know what I'm saying. My top three, damn man, Ship number one me against the world pop uh ship you can throw you can throw Bone Thugs a harmony, creeping on the come up or each ninety ninety turn on the one of them talking about there and number three she definition the Lord to you. Okay, I see you. You can put yourself in there. Yeah. Yo, it's crazy because like Bone Thugs was, I remember having creeping on a come up and the Ouiji board ship

as as a little bro as a little kid. That ship creeped me out though, because I was like, but I love bone Bone. Creeping on a come up in doggy style was hard, but like its hard, they like the main reason why I'm rapping right man, And they don't get in. I don't feel like they don't get talked about enough anymore. Like as far as we're talking about the all time greatest groups and ship like Bones

up there, man, like you up there. Everybody know they have run like the so millions of Restords bro East, millions of motherfuckers heard it Grammys and they got the Grammys. Man, it ain't it ain't. It ain't too many motherfuckers. It ain't really too many motherfuckers. Yeah, you know, Bone Bones, Uh, you know, I wish they would have had a longer

run for sure. Yeah, one hundred up the business side, Yeah, I mean, look when you got when you got that many people involved in a group, it's hard to you know, you gotta manage a lot more variables, yeah, you know people. And then and then Crazy Bone start doing solo shit, Lazy Bone drop the solo album, Then Busy dropped the solo album. It was like, you know, then shit just kind of got out of control. I feel like the shout outs to Bone man, legendary group. Respect to them

is there. Obviously you're you're probably sitting on a whole lot more music. What's the plans for twenty twenty one for you? Bro? Shit? Man, I don't know what it's gonna look like.
