What's up for y'all?
Bro?
What's up for your niggas behind the scenes? Set back you good?
That makes my blood my blood? I got one quick time announced. We don't give me the rules you got so yo, russa out.
Here, guys, kids, smoke, you're ready, capone or e f n oh. I'll tell you what. Hold on, hold on. It's a good question. But difference, yes, big difference. It's a different obviously it's a person. That's my family, that's really really my family, and we grew a bond. They're through a place that no one grows bonds through. We met each other in jail later on. Now my family is Compone's family, that's one. But if I didn't have Compone's relationship and me go through the things that I did with Compone, because I wanted Compone to be like me, Like what I mean by that is I wanted him to show up one time. I wanted him to not be the jump off. Sorry what I'm saying, you want to edit it out, You can't hit my truth. I didn't want him to be that I wanted him to. I wanted him to be professional. I wanted him to like you know, there was times that we went on the road and I would I would I would help Capone pack his bags because I knew that he was always late. So the more that I try to make a pone like me, the more that me and Capone despised each other. So if me and Compone's relationship didn't go through that me and Efen's, would you know what I'm saying, Because me and e f N a total opposite with the total opposite. We we battle on who's gonna be on time, and he always thinks he's gonna ring because I'm the rapper, and I always win. I always win because it's in the back of my mind for real, you like, like one of the rappers that always yeah. So I say that to say, you know one, I took a shot because I really can't pick. I really do love them both, you know. Obviously I knew compone longer, and obviously I met EFN through caupone because of the work. But one relationship wouldn't have been able to work without the other, you know what I mean, because I had to go through when I went through a poem for me, never to push that on EFN, Like I never wanted EFN to be like me. Like I tried to buy him a chain and he literally took it. I put it on him. I knew he was good for it, so I put a chain on over it, and he took it off and he put it back. And then he said that a certain thing happened, he'll smoke, and a certain thing happened, he'll buy a watch. And I could have pursued that. I could have kept you know doing that or make him or not make him, or ask him to work on days that he doesn't work. But his integrity for his family and being a new time father, you know, like you know sometimes when he says, you know, I got kids like nigga you late, like we been had kids like been, and I've been able to do everything but still have kids. But his integrity of you know him when the lockdown, it makes me not want to ever push that. It makes me never want to say, yo, well you know what we're doing. You know how much we got because I made that mistake with copone. You understand I'm saying, so one relationship wouldn't have been blessed without the other. So I appreciate both hard. And I know certain people and I know certain people want to think I answered that like politically correct, but I answered that exactly how I feel. We know, get you. I'm ready for something else.
It's really really I want to ask and you go, boo, do you remember a moment right because I'm acting this as like a family member. Yeah, I'm acting this as like a family member and a fan because like I remember the moment where I realized this. I want to know what's that moment you ever? It was like, damn, I'm a star, like I'm really a star, like I'm a I made like you know, like damn, this is crazy, Like I'm really I'm a I'm a wrap, I'm a celebrity.
Great one every time, ye every time. I remember the moment when I was like damn. The y'all was like, it's lit. You really gonna have already, this is ninety eight.
I'm gonna tell you the story too. After well, i'll tell you at first. I remember my moment right, I'm sleep. This is how legendary I'm sleep. I'm in my room on the bunk bed in five E left right, and normay record come on the radio, super thug. I wake up out my sleep, bro Like my mom is in the living room like with her friends hanging out. I'm just saying hand song her radio. That ship waked me up out of my sleep.
I woke up out of my sleep and just ran in the living like, oh what, I'm singing the song of everybody?
All. I remember this ship like yesterday, and I just realized I was like.
Oh ship, like he made myn Like I was still young, so I didn't really know what that meant came win it.
But I was just like yo, like then that's really my uncle on the radio, Like you know, like that's my uncle on the radio.
But so what's the question? The question is like a.
Moment when you really realize like, damn, I'm somebody that's like I'm a I'm a you know, as a rapper, as a celebrity, not as a person.
I got it.
And it's going to sound like, you know, like the right thing to say. I never cared about being a star, never really cared about being famous. I cared about winning, all right. Now what comes along with winning is just something that I just endued. But I never cared. Like I remember making the Whole Warrior, making the Whole war Report album on the train, like I don't I think I caught on the car service. It was a car service called x y Z at the end of the album. But I did that whole album riding the train. And if I didn't have the rhymes, I would write the rhymes on the train. I would have a walkman on. They didn't even have CDs at the time. They had tapes, and my tape would fuck up. Yeah, my tape would fuck up, so I would have to go and unwind and ship and put it in there. Man. You know I always looked up to like, you know, look, I look at Nas like he's a star, right, And you know, certain people put me on Nas level. They're wrong, but certain people will right. And I look at him like he's a star. He's been famous, he's he's you know, he hasn't been to jail like you know what I mean, Like he has no like like real jail record. Like to me, that's a star. You know what I'm saying, Like that, that's to me a star. To me, what I am is a person that every hood nigga can kind of look at and be like, yo, I could do it too. You know, I have no real education. I went to education. I have education in Desert Community College, which is Hall of Valley. But you know, I'm the guy that dropped out of school. I'm the guy that I only dropped out of school. I'm the guy that threw the hooky party for you to drop out of school too. You know what I'm saying. I'm saying I'm the guy that played Skelly. I'm the guy that played Skelly and pissed in the corner. If I caught you cheating, I would throw your top away. But I'll never let you catch me cheating.
You know what I'm saying, Like I was just sometimes I used to cheat.
A little bit. Yeah, like like, So that's that's really what I am to me, a star. It's what Patty the Bell is.
Is what.
No, no, no, this is my question. Are you you can't answer my question for me? To me, that's what a star is. A star. To me, what I am is I'm motivation. You know what I'm saying, I'm motivation because you know I gained it all on your face. I lost it all on your face. I gained it back in your face. I maintained in your face. I you know, that's why you know I was a little mad. I threw the thrown off when I did the Joe butten podcast and people were saying, you know, damn like y'all was used to me being humble, was used to me just chilling, like, but my numbers back to me up on everything. So what it is is, you know I did it the first time as a star. That's when I believe I was a star in our No let me, let me, let me, let me let no, no, no, because a star is the person that has to be at every Grammy show. They have to be at every award show. Come on, man, yes, but that's that's the person that's the person. No, no, no, that's the person who become you know, to me, Buster Rhymes is a star. When I look at Buster Rhymes, he's everywhere. He's in Carnegie Hall, he's selling shit out. You know what I mean? To me, fact Joe was a star.
You know.
The reason why is because a star has to come out every night, every night, and Shane, it's certain nights I don't want to come out and it's certain nice. I don't give a fuck about coming out.
You know.
I used to hate that they didn't invite me to like the Award show and things like that. And then when I got invited to the award show, I reflected on it and I was like, fuck, y'all, I don't want to do it. So to me, a person who goes to all the award shows, who sits there, who drinks that do say or they SI rock and it'sists there and they accept all their accolades. Like my first award, I said, I never got an award. But that was a lie because I didn't remember this. I got something called a mobile award. A mobile that's the that's the international, it's like the British, it's the British. It's fucking like the British gravy's. But I turned it down a not a award in my resta ers carib on top of my big TV mobile mobile. And then the next year I see Jay everyone out there into the same award show and I'm sitting there like that's the story of my life. When I wanted to be invited, I wasn't invited, and then when I was invited, I didn't want to go, just like so so so yes, the first Drink Champons Award, we also won the award, and I didn't want to go because it was against Ellen DeGeneres and we didn't go, and then we did. We won, and we won that ship. So to say that now the first time, I felt like, I'm that's a different question. That's what I kind of mean. You said stars, stars are very well, that's what I meant. Made it like he's like damn, I made it like it's lit. I'm out the town, Like all right, how was.
That feeling for you knowing that's your uncle and he's fucking no creator, like.
You know what type of status you had, you know growing up.
You know it's the best worst come in the world because everybody I want to get to him come through me. But that's why I love him though, because like I've been around him for so many years and like he know, he know I'm shocked, Like you feel me, know he trusts my judgment and that means more to me than anything he's ever done to me, Like anything he's ever done for me. I swear to God that means the most to me that he trust is my judgment.
You feel me.
I may make mistakes in my own life, I may, but his he know. You know I'm checking twice. I'm crushing my teeth down my eyes.
You feel me so like.
That's the illest thing that Like you know that I really I feel from him, from coming from him being the star. But like that shit is rough too, Like everybody in the hood, they want to hit you, They want to like you know.
But he know I know how to deal with it, like you feel me.
Like other niggas are given the number. Other nigg they know I got his number, like and everybody's everybody's not really built for that. Niggas don't understand just I'm his nephew, but when I'm close to my niggas don't know how it is for people in his entourage. To other people. That's like, you know, like you know, have relations with celebrities, close friends, whatever. That shit is tough, like people be on you like they don't deal with him. They a lot of people deal with me, like, you know, he got different people for different things, So that shit is stressful going on.
Everybody felt like, yo, why you don't got this? Why you don't got that? You know, my nephew, you this, you that.
Then when you get it, they're like, oh, you're supposed to have that. He's not nephew like that that, but nobody knows.
The pain of that. It's like, dare you told me this?
Whole time, I'm supposed to have this, I'm thinking I'm supposed to have this. I accomplished that on some things I've gained for myself, somethings.
He helped me gain.
Now I get it, and it's like kids, you're supposed to have that, you know me, So it's rough. It's not just glitz and grandma like people don't really know it's how work.
Just like you.
Let me answer the question, like answer the question. It's all going, But I guess not I didn't, bro, you all right, I won't drink it then, okay, but I guess one of the first moments you guys got to realize, probably sound one of the worst deals that was ever invented. It but it was a very standard deal. It was a deal that everyone else had, so it was a kind of easy deal to get out of. But when I got out of that deal, like I heard the rumors. I don't know if Trad said this, probably he probably didn't say it, but most people were saying, watch him fell on his own. Can't pool wake up? Happened? Hold On? Hold on, hold on.
Love.
She gave us five shots in a row.
Bro.
Shot this is my sixth, my seventh, so hold on, let me finish this. Drinking is every episode, bro, Bro, this is abuse. So finished, hold on, I'll come on to the police. So you know, there was rumors that, you know, because I really did it on my own, that in our album, I really got invited to their firm album. You said it was rumors that what. There's rumors that I watched them flop on his own, you know what I mean, Oh, when you went solo, Yeah, because you got to realize a lot of a lot of people are liars. And when I said liars, the War Report was considered a flop at first, like it didn't do good. So the first week, I think I did like forty five thousand, Like people laughed at us, like forty five thousand for being independent was like remarkable. But back then everyone else was doing eighties and nineties, so they looked at us and our label was popping bottles. Penalty was popping bottles. They wanted to do twelve, We did forty five, but gave you four bikes, right yeah, yep, but had them to do the sales. Some people like credited for the sales. Yeah too hype in the beginning, This is the actual album onside hype is to get us the hype. Yeah, So that's what I say. A lot of people are liars because people like, oh, man, I was a classic, Like, motherfucker, you ain't buy that ship that first week, motherfucker, Like I don't, I ain't feeling I ain't. I was still left frack selling cracks. Literally, I'm still on five seven as selling crack and con And my deal with Penalty was, yo, you know what, I'll signed with y'all, but you gotta show me my original contract. So when I see my original contract, I shared it with with Jungle actually Jungle register ship. He sent it to his people, Jungle tow a medal. He's like, you get you get out of this contract. This is this is this is nothing. You know what I mean? And you can buy back your publishing because that's really what was fucked up my publishing. I didn't know I signed my publishing. Uh sign the Penalty get everything. Penalties are small labels, Penalty twelve workers, they have no outside people. So everyone is like, why would you sign to this little boutique label. Leo Cohmbs came to see me. It was like I want to get you. Yeah, I want you to be on Depth Jam and I was just like, you know what. You know with all the rumors that was being said, I was like, you know what and on our album, I wanted to do independent. I wanted to do it on my own. So I went to Miami, which is crazy. Came to Miami Criteria, rented out all this shit, got all the features I wanted, came home, had an album release party. Now my album release party, I had to eat money Bags there. P E money Bags was my guest to honor. E. Money Bags was the only person I actually wanted to come to my album release party at this time. For shall hands down and money Bags at this something for me. Didn't ask for no favor, He just wanted to be there. It was the only person I actually wanted to come to my album release party. But you know, came to my album release party, Dmax, Eve, uh Q Tip everybody from New York City. So it's a picture with me and E. Money Bags and I got my shirt open, one of the only times I have my shirt open, because you know, I got a belly after that and your niggasame's deserved to see my belly. So I didn't have it here yet it was coming. I guess. I don't know. I don't even I don't even remember to tell you you young boy. And I remember me having my arm around him or him having my arm around me, and him said, you brung the whole look, and he said yeah, so his arm around me, I thought it was my arm around him and the money bags looked and he said, look over, you look like you just sold the bag. Maybe not, definitely not. But he looked over to me and he said, look at this. And I looked over and he said, if you somebody in the city, in the city tonight, you had to be here. And that was the moment where I was like, all right, cool, I might be different. Not the moment I said. I made it off like I'm a little different than like a cool And that was it. You that's shot to that. Yeah, I mean I took minds already there. That's the point you ever seen me? Take one two? But I tell you, I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this, I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. This is the time when I call it down. Hold on, hold on, hold on, look up. Really, when I really knew that I could change people lives, it was my whole hood got raided, now, kid you not everyone got ready, even Mussolini, Musolini's my rap partner. He got They took him. And then I brung there was no one left. I brung whatever QB dudes I had. There's no left rack dudes. Then I run into the to the Bronx, and you know, I got with a couple of the homies and I brung them with me, and then I brung it was one other person as a dude named Baby D. And I remember taking them to North Carolina one time, and I remember them because it wasn't me, like I felt like I never won, so I had to keep playing the game. Like if you don't feel like you winning, then you're not gonna stop playing. So I was platinum. I couldn't reap the benefits of being platinum because I wanted to keep working. And I remember one time, the whole murder unit, Damn, there do the mountaintop and they just like took off their shoes and then Baby D was dead and Shan Duno was dead and all these people is ded and I realized, I said, damn, that was hard to me. That was hard because here I am, I'm going out of town. I'm experiencing this. But for some reason, I was used to it already my first time going out of town. I was already used to talk you're born to be that at first. So it made me impressed that you impressed yourself. I bring these hard core motherfuckers with me and they sat down and looked over a mountaintop and was watching the sunrise. I was like, I wish Instagram was back then. I'd be like, look these hard niggas. It was North Carolina. Was like, it wasn't even an exciting place. The blue mountains that was outside. It wasn't That's what I'm saying. Whatever it was, it wasn't even exotic. It wasn't even It was just like they looked and they were just looking down and saying, look at the cows, look at the cows, Like we don't see cows in New York. It was just it wasn't nothing exotic at all. He was probably staying at an embassy suite so or a motherfucking a motel six or something. It wasn't even ill. But the fact that they was out of New York. It was out of New York and they was just like, because the thing is what we fight for New York is to get out of New York because anywhere other than New York seemed successful. What fucked up about reality is everyone else fights to get in New York, but they fight to get in Manhattan. Yes, they don't fight to get in the Bronx they don't fight to get in Brooklyn, they don't fight to get in Queens. The success story to move in New York is Manhattan up East Side. I'm just being honest, and so that's that's really what's it. But that was that was the first time. That's the first time I say I got the power to change other people's lives, and I would like to do that. I like to do that. And there's a lot of people that that know to this day, that know they've never been to Miami if it wasn't for me. There's a lot of people that know they've never been to Los Angeles if it wasn't for me. And guess in Miami on the tour bus, we.
Pay for buses and we went down, had a ball board, a gun, you had, you had a bunk.
We had a bunk. Yeah, I had that ship. You don't get bunks on tour like you don't get bust. Let me tell you stuck Miami, Look, let me tell you.

Yo that ship. I want to ask you this, but you have to pick one. You have to pick. This is a tough question. You have to pick one. Ain't no bu what thee? Make it easy? Whatever? Don't do it War Report in the r E. In the r E. That's one question. My other question, But it wouldn't be no question.
We get a lot of.
Hold on, hold on, but it wouldn't be no war Report without an r E. The War Report, sacrifices and everything that we did like And you know, I never really big trash up for this, or maybe I did and I don't remember, but Trash never let me, never let me go to the studio unless I recorded three records. And that's the reason why I has who's my engineer for well over ten years. I don't think we've ever ran to the studio fifteen Okay, well, I don't think we've ever went to the studio and ever recorded under three records. Maybe two is the bare minimum. And I always had that. Yeah, but let me big trash up. Let me big trash up for that, because trash Trash will actually ask me, say, YO, with what you're gonna do. I'm like, y'all wanted to go to the studio. He'll be like, yo, what you're gonna do? And I'll be like yo. I will actually kick him in the raps, like your broom, I'm gonna do this. But all right cool, and he'll book the lab and him and Compone wouldn't come. I know they try to deny it now, but you know what I mean. But so it was so easier for me to go and do an R E album because when I came to Criteria, because I'm old school, Come on, shampoo, don't suck it up. You gotta beat the chemistry. Don't fuck up the chemistry. And you too, nigga. So the number one studio out here is called Hit Factory. Back there, it's called Criteria, and Criteria I used to have two rooms, so I used to have one room where I'm mixing in the other room where I'm going going hand. And I really really really did everything I had to do. So I say that, to say that, to say that.
Cigarettes what he was doing side of your fire, I'm gonna held held on.
I asked j It's both. I love them both. You know, jay Z as a businessman and Nas as a just artist. And what Nas just did and this, it's like, yo, listen, it's not it's how powerful you know Nas is, right, you know, fifty year anniversary, got that but uh so guarded out. Yeah, let me tell you how powerful NAS is I met nas moms three times, I believe, yeah, like three times. And when he said that speech about his mom's on stage, I literally cried, like like this what I'm trying to say, Like I only met her a couple of times, but I literally know her through his music and I literally know her through his pain. So me I told him. He was like, you you're not coming, and I was like damn cause I had to text someone and let him know. I was like, yo, bro, have a great show tonight. And he was like, why it sounds like you're not not coming. And I was like, you know, whatever, whatever, And but literally when he made that speech about his moms, I cried. I tear, it came to my eyes and like like you know, I really you know, mean you know? And that's just that lets you know how powerful that shit is and the dig about it is. Think about it. That's why like I feel that feeling every day. No, you don't know what I was saying. She should have pay attention. You feel you feel like crying every day and my mom is alive, you feel like crying every day? Then you got to you know, pansies to the question. You gotta relax, gotta come with that my next question. You want to ask questions that.
But in.
I mean like like, by the way, by the way, let's just be clear, like I hate the fact like I hate that question, right, I hate that question now is a jay Z right, And I hate the question of you know puff or doctor Dre. I let your guys ride with it because in reality, that's not a true question were supposed to. I hate the question to get the back Yeah, I get the back lash, but I got skin. But the thing about it, your ship, the thing about it is. The thing about it is like listen, man, No one never, no one never says Walt Disney or ESPN. No one never says that. You understand. I'm saying, shut the fuck up. I'm agree with you.
I don't need it.
I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. Just let me finish. Well, see them all come. But here's the deal. Here's a deal. Here's a deal with ours and are our people. We always put people against each other. Walt Disney, ESPN is the same goddamn company, Discovery and fucking whatever, Showtime and CBS is the same company. Toyota and Lexus is the same fucking company, and we praised these people, be praised Walt Disney, be praised all these people. But then people that's living in our time, that's living in our face, we don't even show them love. There's people that will walk in this room right now, and if jay Z walk in this room right now, and it's one of us, to be like, I ain't walking over the dick. It's one person here, they would do that. There's one person here. If no walk in the room and be like, I ain't on this dick. But if walk Disney walked in his room as dead as he is, you know that snow white and dead is he is. I love Mickey Mouse, but we won't praise home like you know I love I Listen. Listen to me with fifty centers did with that European tour and he brung tony Yo and oh murderer. If that's not keeping it real, if that's not feeding your team, that's what I aspire to be. That's why I want to be. I want to be everywhere where I bring in my team and my team getting paid. Let's not underrate that ship you're doing. Let's not sit around and be like with fifty doing it shouldn't be noticed that shit is dope. These are underground rappers that are the man's uncle murder and and Tony Yayo. But in the underground they're not known like that in year, but he got them on stage with him, rocking out, opening up and performing with him. Why would we downplay that man like that's real ship, I said, doing mog ship and having his team with him, because it's lonely at the top. I do I do one more? I do take a shot. Yeah, tomorrow, We've been at movie draft exactly. And another thing. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you one more thing, one more thing, one more thing, because I wanted to pick this up. And I ain't even speak to this to my brother. I haven't even speak to him in six months. And all these poke to Buster too. But do you see how relevant Buster rhymes and Fat Joe is right now?
