one hundred thousand my first week.

A greedy a fact. Right now, we got two of
my favorite CEOs, two people who helped made me a
man when I was coming from boy to being a
man and having money and not knowing what to do
it to people who shape and mold me and told
me go out there and bust your ass. And it's
only right.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
We're in a conference room, executives.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Let's make some noise for Leo calls Carol Lews.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
God, damn, goddamnit, Leo, you got you got one of
the best hip hop stories I ever in my life.
And my whole a luxurious nineteen years was. I remember
when Jo Rule was getting like kind of played out
and you didn't clear a record for Fat Joe and
I did a jar RUVIDI right. And you know, most
executives they want to meet with you and they say.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You know, if you come along, But Leo said.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Bring your whole crew. He said, bring your whole crew.
And he gets this job Rule video and he comes
to meet to be a Right Track studio and he
has all my boys there. He puts the video in
and he goes, how do you like this video? I say,
you know I like myself. So I'm looking at myself.
I'm like, he said, do you know what I think?
I said no, he said, I think it's popcorn. At

(02:29):
the time, I like popcorn. So I was like, popcorn
is cool, and he goes, Jo rule won't exist in
four months because of the records he's doing. Why would
I invest in Nori for nor to be like Jorol?
So he said to me, Nori, if I cut you
right now, what would you bleed? And I said blood?

(02:51):
And he said, now ask me the question, Nori. So
I said, Lee off, I cut you right now, what
would you bleed? He said, run dmc sucker And then
he asked me the question again. He said, so, Nori,
if I cut you right now, what would you bleed?
I said, super Doug and he said exactly. The car
service is downstairs.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
See my job.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Old video made me go see for real. And if
it wasn't for that exact move, I wouldn't have one
of the biggest hits of my life, which is nothing homeboy,
I came to party, Let's make some noise.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Why do you keep it so real with your artists
like that?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Like you could have you could have you could have
you could have like said it to me like nicer,
but you didn't.

Speaker 6 (03:37):
So I want to do to you and to my artists,
to my comrades, how I want to be done on
that wasn't that was in English? Let's do that again?
Can someone help me? What's it saying?

Speaker 4 (03:56):
You try to do onto others how you would want
to be done to yourself?

Speaker 6 (03:59):
So I only want the truth. I'm so tired of
the cryptic language. I was telling people upstairs, there's this
guy that I love in the door and his name
is Joaqum. And he used to say to me, it's
all good. And I used to say, what the fuck

(04:20):
does that mean? I want to shoot a DMX video tomorrow?
He would say it's all good, and I'm I'm so
exhausted trying to figure out what people mean. I just
want people to tell me exactly how I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I just did a speech upstairs.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
I go to Kevin. I said one to ten. He
said four. I said, I said, how do I get
it to a ten next time? Okay, that's it. He
didn't say it, Oh, it's a nine point five five.
And you know what I'm saying, Because I just want
to I want to improve, so you know, when you're

(05:03):
on stage or when you're doing this, you want people
around you that give you constructive criticism. You want to
be the biggest, the best podcast in the world. That's
so anyhow, That's basically the reason why I keep it

(05:25):
so gully is that's how I want it done to me.
The reason why I never walked around with security guards
is real thorough people have Plan B, C, D, N E.
You don't get in trouble with thorough people if you
allow them the ability to go to their Plan B.

(05:47):
If you retard their ability to go to Plan B,
that's when you get in trouble. That's when you have
to walk around with security guards. Okay, but you can't
be mad at me when I tell you your records are
stiff over no one cares or spinning it because then
they could go to Plan B. But when you tell

(06:07):
them a stiff record, oh it's working, I need a
few more weeks, and it just gets deeper and deeper,
and you get colder and colder. That's when you get
in trouble. So I've always kept it very, very honest
and direct because that's just how I wanted.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
That's it's a beautiful thing now, Kevin Laws keV, I
remember me being on the label and you did something
that was like so important. You You made us stay
on the road like the Red Man's, the Method Man's,
the Noriega's, the Camerons, the Jewel Santana, the freeways at
that time, and like we wouldn't get like the other

(06:49):
side named. We were like I want to say b list,
but not b lists, you know what I'm saying. Let's
not say be listen on the rise on the rise,
And so we probably meted, never got the two million
dollar bunchets, but.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
We would make that two million, but we would earn
that two million, and it was almost like you felt better,
like you know what going out there?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Why was that your approach?

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Like the artist has to hit the road and touch
them babies and and kiss kiss girlfriends and other people's girlfriends.

Speaker 8 (07:22):
And I think what was important for me man I
being a former artist, being being out on the road.
If you don't touch it, how you know what the
baggy feels like, how you know what the smell like?

Speaker 6 (07:32):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (07:32):
So I wanted you guys to always touch your fans.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
We like baggies, nor.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
What's the new slogan? Fu the cake? We want the
bands you.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Okay, don't. We don't got the champagne yet, all right,
So I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (07:48):
So it was just all about you guys, not not
being distorted. You know, sometimes you have a hit record
and you go by the big house and you sit
up in the house with your friends and then you
forget you know, really what made it, you know what
I mean, and what it felt like to have that
fan and even to this day is why the guys
that you're name they can all go around the world

(08:09):
and make a living to that day because you kept
touching the fans, kept touching the bag, and that was
part of it. And now it's a loss.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
You know.

Speaker 8 (08:17):
Now you got labels, they'll say his. We're not worried
about your tour, don't. We're not involved in that. That's
your money.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
You know.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
If you fuck up on that, you fucking our money
up too. So we got to make sure three sixty
three and six degree that you're always working. I never managed,
nor never managed any of the guys, but I always
managed you. When shit went down, I got the call.
I don't get what was going down when it went down.
I got that call, so it was always in the road.

(08:45):
Was a good friend to us.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Okay, So now how hard was it for you guys?

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Because at one point when I thought def Jam, I
thought leol Kevin Russell?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
So how how how hard.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Was it when it was like, you know, I know
you went to Atlantic first before you started three hundred,
But how hard was that decision to say I'm gonna
leave the place that you basically built?

Speaker 6 (09:08):
So let's be clear that I sold the company to Universal,
and I went to Island and Mercury and formed We
founded Island Deaf Champ. So before Atlantic, there was five
years you conveniently forgot. So listen, if you're not busy

(09:34):
being born, you're busy dying. So that was beautiful. We
make coffee table books. I flipped through the pages. I
see friendly faces and moments in time that I adore
and love. But I'm about the present. So you know

(09:55):
that whatn'ce was, it was a beautiful memory. It's nice
that people recognize me and give me that for my contribution.
But I don't live I don't you come to my house.
There's no f yi, this is who I once was. Okay,

(10:20):
don't live off the past. No, So I'm only focused
right here and right now. I want to continue, continue
to contribute, be a great partner to Kevin and my artists.
And until I can't contribute, I'm going to be on
the court. And when I'm on the court and I

(10:40):
go for that read, You're going to get tapped by
my elbows. Okay, simple as that. You know, it's funny,
how about you? It's funny.

Speaker 8 (10:51):
You know.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
I came.

Speaker 8 (10:53):
I was from Baltimore, so me coming and as an intern,
you get me coming up. We all thought of his
intern Russell was a intention was mikey is.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Are working at radio Shack, and then Russell Simmons hired
them from Radio Shack.

Speaker 8 (11:07):
Tower Records, Tower Records, shout out the guy. You know
the thing with me, all of us, you kind us open.
We blent death can it's not even a thing. And
selling the company didn't mean we didn't still love and
live for the company. Building a new company. But now
the deft and music didn't mean that we left hip

(11:30):
hop our responsibility and always totally are I really only
want to do this with him, you know what I
mean at the end of the day. But we got
to continue to build the pyramid so we can continue
to get bigger and employ more people and keep the
culture moving.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
So we never stopped. And I think right now what
you're seeing.

Speaker 8 (11:50):
As a servants of young people who are living in
today because they were native to the internet. Sometimes we
get caught up in our memories or what we did,
and it impedes our possibilities because anything is possible for
anybody to be alive today and don't feel anything as possible.
So when Lea said, Yo, we want to do it again.

(12:11):
You want to do another record company?

Speaker 1 (12:12):
I said, hell, yeah, we could. Now thought it was
crazy to do it. I said, yeah, let's do it.

Speaker 8 (12:18):
So to me, if we're not reinventing ourselves every day,
making ourselves better, putting more tools in our toolbox, I
don't think we're gonna build bigger houses and better houses
and more places for people that live and growing.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
So Kevin's always thinking about others. And I so appreciate that.
I just gave a speech for one thousand people upstairs
and I made reference to the Cold Crush Brothers.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
And nobody knew what else I was about to say.

Speaker 6 (12:45):
So bold a smack, a man with his gun kiss
his woman. This his mother and don't even run now
that's boor and I had to hold that. Come on,
they're going to see me wrapping here to explain who
the cold the panel with Charlie Chase too.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
One person.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
I remember this is this is one of the best
days of my life, right, me and you was trying
to do business since nineteen ninety eight when I was
on penalty records and you realized that I was the
only one moving on penalty records.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
I think he was trying to buy penalty at.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
First, and then he said, look it, I'm just getting nory,
which is a smart move. So we was trying to
do business for years. And then when I finally get
to death Jam, I signed the papers and I believe
you had crystal there. I believe you had some crystal there.
And I smoked the blunt in the war room. It

(13:41):
wasn't your office, it was the war room. I smoked
the blunt. Then you took like two hits and then
I asked you, leo, what's that picture right there? And
it was you on the run DMC tour and your
nose is bloody, and I said you.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Had a fight. He said no.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I sniffed cocaine all night.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
And listen, I just classic back in the disco fever,
you got mad.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Kids, we got with sixteen heard that, man, you've been.

Speaker 6 (14:12):
Fucking so sorry talking about the blow right, So back
in the disco fever days.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Let's get to me.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
I don't think anybody actually knows about the disco fever
one sixty ninth in Jerome and Sweet Gee was the
doorman and the host. We used to there was no
one that didn't have one hundred dollars bill dancing. That's
how we danced like that. So it wasn't because I
was sniffing blow. We're all sniffing.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
I just thought that story was zeal because I'm sitting
there expecting him to say no, I had to fight
with my DMC's like, nah, we didn't tell you to
bring it all, but we're glad.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
With ice.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Please come on to win. You know he's your biggest fan.
By the way, who are you? What are you doing here?
That's what they all doing so and I remember you
was the first person Leon to tell me I had
radio skills, and I bring it back.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I'm fresh a membering.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
It was a time at depth Jam where nobody was
messing with Starr and Black, why nobody would go up.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
There, and he had he had this.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Prodigy the week before, and when he had mentioned my name,
I just was furious. So I did not buy to
death gam rules. And I went up there and I
handled Star like you know, I don't mean like handling,
but you know what I'm saying like, I.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Destroyed the interview. And Leo called me and said, you
must come to the office now. And I said, Leo,
I'm mad, tired. He's like, and I'm hungry.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
He goes say that again. He said you must come
to the office now, and I said, I'm tired and
I'm hungry.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
He said, First off, he said, you must eat the
pink tea cup.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
He preferred me to pink tea cup, you said me,
and Russell's to sniff coco like this sleep.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I always remember your coach stories, my love, you called me.
And then when I got can you imagine hold on ahead?

Speaker 6 (16:19):
Can you imagine that vegan eating yoga twisted?

Speaker 1 (16:23):
And Russell used to eat.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
Three meals a day at the pink tea cup.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
He issued, what.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Poor pinknuckles?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
He said, and they had to eat the pic But
you told me, you said, because it was something that
squarked in that interview with you know, Star was the
man in New York at the time, and he controlled
the interview. But it was something that I did when
I controlled, when I flipped it back on Star, and
you was like, I believe you said, I want you
to start the artist development Company. It was something like that.

(16:59):
But this so that this what led to this is
responsible for Drink's. But how like we got dayDay here,
you guys are involving, evolving with these new artists. Now,
how do you find these artists? Are they hot or
do somebody bring them to you? Or so let me

(17:23):
let me explain to you how day they work. Let's
go day. They had a record.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
In a very specific and important club that was starting
to work. And when our ain't our executive, very talented
partner of our Selene brought us the record, he said,
I just want you to listen to the patience of

(17:51):
how this man raps. And there was something so beautifully
patient about how he went on to some of those
phrases and those words. It was obvious that he was
very talented.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
And so I'm daddy, let me just tell you something
about man.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
You with two order people who if you listen, you
can be the most successful person ever. But what's going
to happen is success is gonna fuck with you, and
it's gonna tell you you ain't gotta listen because we
all go through it. You got to listen. You gotta
go crazy to know that you're you're not crazy. You

(18:33):
gotta go crazy once, right, you went crazy? Ready, look
like you already some time? But who are you from?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
In Atlanta?

Speaker 9 (18:43):
From fourth word of Atlanta boulevard sound rough? You know,
it's real.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
That's what's up. That's what fourth fourth word? Okay?

Speaker 1 (18:54):
And now, so how did you get How did you
get involved with three hundred?

Speaker 9 (18:59):
I had got involved with three hundred through Knitty Beats.
You know, shout out Nitty, you know, but Nitty had
a strong relationship with Kevin No, so shout out Kevin loud,
you know. So you know, I guess they had a
great relationship. And you know, by my talent heaven with

(19:20):
Nitty Beats, I guess you know, they linked up with
Kevin and you know how this situation happened. But I
appreciate them, you know, and I appreciate the team for
working hard.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
You know, we're here. They for hard to have you here.
We don't even have new artists here, but Lee all
put us foot down. And I can't say.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
I can't say.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
The record was popping in one particular club.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
What club was that?

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Shout out? Look, Coral Look.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Okay, okay, that's what's up. Very important, man, I'm just
telling you. Man, let me take over off. Let me
just explain something to you. First of all, I'm humbled
to be here, oh man. I mean always mes arise.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
When someone actually wants to hear my words.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
It's I'm humbled.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
He imitates you. That's how much we want to hear
I don't. I don't take it for granted, ignori.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
So bravo to you, and bravo to you, Bravo to
your whole crew.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Let's hear it. We also got large on the building.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
Yeah, I must say, you're busy being born and the
fact that you are understanding the new digital era, that
this is a powerful radio station and you don't need
a signal exactly. You decided to get some fucking champagne

(20:49):
and some liquor and get your man here and and
and do a podcast. The amount of influence and power
that you have by your voice, your interviews, and your
perspective is just fabulous because you know what it is.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Leo see, a lot of a lot of media has
never been a part of the culture. So this is
now people reporting the culture from inside the culture.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
It's like if Jordan's will pick myself to Jordan, but.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Maybe maybe it's okay, yeah, okay, maybe after Jordan plays
the game. If Jordan is interviewing the artist, it's like,
some people consider it cheating, but it's about time real
niggas found a way to cheat. This makes.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
I know I chose well.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Listen, if I had a nineteen career, a nineteen year career,
and I wasn't being cool with everybody, like it all
makes sense now, Like I always kept great relationships. I
always like to tell people that, you know what I'm saying,
like Kevin changed my heart, my life.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Gracious Racis so it's gracious.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
You can come to us now. We know you did
rap Radar. It's a mistake. Well there's a mistake. They
was born and almost go to sleep there. They weren't
got sorry about it, but make some noise for you
being here. We got Kevin out and Lee on together.
I'm sorry yelly. You know, I just got to take it.
You know they number three, they number they did down there.
You know they they mad that. You know, a guy

(22:14):
who never went to college is running their job better.
But who But listen, man, you guys have been I
love this DMX story where DMX jaw was broke and
you hate rhymes for you and you still knew he
was a star.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
What is Joe Wyatt?

Speaker 1 (22:35):
If you got seat through a vision like you knew
that every every rapper.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
So the real story was I drove up to Yonkers
with IRV because he wanted us to hear him.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
By two thirty, he still.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
Wasn't there, and the rough Riders were trying to present
every calm dick compared they had.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
They that beats a.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Man spit sixteen, don't worry on his way. We got
the Pizza man there.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
Finally X showed up, mouth wired shut, obviously in pain,
and started rapping, and all the rappers the pizza man
ran out the door and.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
They just got shook.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
And I like to say, if my mother was there
with me, she would have said, that's the one.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
It's that obvious.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
The air changed when he walked in the room, even
even with the jaw wire. It was special. It was
special special. Oh, I got the hair on my back
of my neck just stood up.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
And then was it your idea to say I'm gonna
drop two albums this year? I think it was Kevin's idea.
I'm not taking all the It was definitely as I did.

Speaker 8 (23:56):
And and I'll tell a story for him. DMX didn't
put on an album. He changed culture. He did the
first album changed culture. So part of being a good
person is to ride the wave. And so and a
lot of people X had one hundred records. X X

(24:17):
felt rapping was his job. X L I wake up
every day, I'm gonna do three or four songs, five
or six songs.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
He took it. A lot of people X crazy.

Speaker 8 (24:26):
We know a guy, you know, but but his work
ethic when it came to him doing music, he got
he got a bibble, X got a bibble of good
and bad, right or wrong. And so the world was
ready for it. And Leo said, you know, let's do
what that's that's throw them while we them and they

(24:47):
they got us. They can't do what we do. And
X came out. But then a lot of artists try
to keep trying to kept trying to do it.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Nobody, nobody was successful. But it I'm gonna give you.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
I'm gonna give you some real.

Speaker 6 (24:59):
You want the inside, I'm.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Going to give you.

Speaker 6 (25:02):
I'm going to give you the inside. I was about
to give up the game. I was about to retire.
What No, Just before X I was about to retire,
Puffy made everything technicolor and shiny, and bad boy was
running shit on the shiny technicolor shit and def jam

(25:23):
represents black and white and shades of gray. And I
looked at my crew and I said, man, I don't
think I can contribute anymore.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
And then I found X just.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
When Puffy made the Locks technicolor, and that's when I
knew I had to pull out on him and start shooting.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Okay, I carried in my breast pocket.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
A black and white photo of the album cover, a polaroid.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
It was X black and white. You remember that?

Speaker 6 (26:00):
And I said, this is the reason why I'm still
gonna do this, because I was so infuriated of what
they did to the Locks. Remember the Locks streaked motherfuckers, Yes,
And they turned them into some high technicolor ship.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
And that was when we said enough is enough. And
that's when X came on the scene.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Because I remember even the video, the first video looked
like nobody cared.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
It looked like Williams messed it up.

Speaker 10 (26:30):
We cared so bad.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
But what I'm saying it was so authentic.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
It was like at that time, you know, videos was cousted,
it was costed, and for them to have like the
record was exploding but the video was black and white.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
I'm like, what.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
They got a scheme and then the whole thing came out.
But that was that was awesome. That was amazing. He
X and shout out to Earth got X.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
I mean we was doing fourth three two win and
a yo X gotta going on that record. You know,
it was an l ll redman mathe man, and so
I had to go talk to everybody sorry, And when
he says stay out the door, everybody looked at me

(27:20):

Speaker 4 (28:10):
You said that Russell was an intern for someone who
did he intern for Russell almost started.

Speaker 8 (28:14):
From the bottom. Yeah, you know, because you know him

I wanted to say some of you didn't even notice story.
The first thing you said today was not about your record,
not about a how hot you are anything. You said
you gotta listen, gotta listen, and to just at a

(28:35):
redendum to listening.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Said I never heard that. I want to.

Speaker 8 (28:44):
I want to honestly say, like when.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
You finally.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
When you find an artist, when you.

Speaker 8 (28:53):
Find an artist, uh that does listen, you're willing to
do anything for It was nothing I couldn't call you
and get you to do you and there's nothing that
you can call me and get me to do in
this moment right here. They that that's appreciate it coming
from somebody that had it every which way.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
You know what I mean that you can have ups, downs, rounds.

Speaker 8 (29:13):
I remember we were doing the Nothing record and I said, Yo,
we need to put.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
More that and.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
They had to go convince him. Listen, you go to
the fucking studio and you you're right, You're right, and
that's the real, really something And I'm just you know.

Speaker 9 (29:32):
I want to.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
I want to say this.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Speaking of that quote.

Speaker 9 (29:36):
You just where he was speaking on like Kevin Lowell
told me that you remember that it was in the label.
You know it was like all you got to do
is listen. So I tell all my friends that from now,
like all my friends that.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Drinking at got my go.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
We ain't drinking right now.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Because I learned this in France. You know what I
got class? I got class rich people. Yeah, that's all
that's like doing in France. I haven't been a friends,
but I will be. I want to.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
I want to propose the toast, please. I want to
propose the toast to Let's make sure that we get
out and vote, because you want to know about sucking
up the game. If we don't go out and vote,
it's going to be problematic. Okay, we talked.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
About it last night with.

Speaker 8 (30:43):
Vote.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
What the fus up with you? So we've got Trump supporters?
That means whatever?

Speaker 1 (30:53):
My listening because this is this is something that's very
important to me because you know, you guys are obviously.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Were I want to be.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
But how do you what you wish for? But how
do you guys make you know, have a great career,
make this money, but still have the same drive. Like
I don't want to rap no more because I'm not
doing it one hundred percent no more.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
So I've got to do other things.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
So I choose not to spit rhymes no more for
now you So did you see me in five months? Withoutum?
But you guys seem like like I did a call
with Leo recently and I called him a mogul and
Leo said, was cool. But I like to be called
a servant like that thing that that struck our audience.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Everybody kept hitting us.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
All wants to be called a servant, but something humble,
humble servant, Like how do you guys be so successful,
have these accolades, but still have the same drive.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
So I love what I do, so I have no interest.
I remember when I sold deaf Champ, and I sold
it for a big number. The next week, I was
on the plane to a convention in Miami and the
whole plane was full of people going to convention. And

(32:18):
I walked down the hallway just stapping people up, saying
what up, what up?

Speaker 2 (32:23):
What up?

Speaker 6 (32:24):
And they all looked at me and said, didn't you
just get papered up? What are you coming to this
convention for. Aren't you supposed to go to a beach somewhere?
And I said, you know, when you think about a.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Beach, it's just a hot, dusty, dirty place.

Speaker 6 (32:41):
You just want to know that you could go when
you can go when you But I love doing this shit.
It's the thought process that you could go to the beach.
I don't sit in the sun in that dusty, dirty beach,
but it's a nice imagination to have. What I love
doing is waking up every morning working with my partner Kevin,

(33:05):
working and finding new wonderful talent like day day. Just
I just love being inspired by Raina, who who runs
our marketing department there.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
So it just I guess it's a career versus a job.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
And so I like to continue with this doing this
thing and YouTube can uh did diddo.

Speaker 8 (33:33):
But it gets like a little bit more serious to
me because, like you gotta understand, I'm not raising rappers
or singers or either men that have kids that have
to be influential in their lives.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
And most of them don't have all this, and most
of them.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
So you.

Speaker 8 (33:54):
Know, I don't called uncle dad all that kind of
shit before, And so I look at it as with
success comes more responsibility. So I wasn't raised by myself.
So anything, anybody, if I get money with you, you're
gonna have a different kind of respect for me when
I tell you some grow man shit, you know what

(34:15):
I mean. So to me, I think, really our responsibility
is to give you guys a platform and an opportunity
and support and conversation and just stewardship to be better people.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
You know, in life.

Speaker 8 (34:30):
So it's not how can I'm not a record exactly,
I'm gonna said, I'm somebody who is a life changer.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
You know.

Speaker 8 (34:36):
Really, if you get with us, we're gonna change your life.
You're gonna be a better man. I can't say you're
gonna tell a million records, but you definitely will be
a better man.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
But I remember one point when lee All had left
and went to Atlantic and you were still kind of
like in depth jam and it was like the La
Read thing. And I remember having a meeting with you
and I was like, he was like, No, everything's gonna
be all right, Everything's gonna be But I knew you
was lying. You were like lying to me, but in
a good way, Like look normal, we're going to get
the funk about him not working with this guy. But

(35:07):
I can't say that to you, like I know that
was a weird period for you. Was it because La
is a friend that wasn't there?

Speaker 8 (35:17):
No?

Speaker 1 (35:18):
It always was always.

Speaker 8 (35:19):
I got an award for Song of the Year in
nineteen ninety six, week right, Yeah, I want to go there.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
You know it's true.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
I look at told us that the record.

Speaker 8 (35:39):
Now he wrote it, so not so that the thing
was And again this was grown Kevin. I had the
house when Leah left. I had the house. It's my house, right,
but the landlord gave him the keys. Now, keV, it

(36:03):
was always your house.

Speaker 11 (36:06):
Let's talk so so so, what I'm not gonna do
is allow an industry to put me in a position,
to put l A in a position where.

Speaker 8 (36:16):
The house would get destroyed and divided. I love death
Jam too much. I love the people there too much.
There was no way that I was gonna let oh,
let's put them in a cage and see what, see
what happens. I ain't doing that, Ain't that guy.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
I'm just want to point out, this is the most
woman we ever had a drink camp that lets you know.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
The right thing.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Sorry you shout out to women.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
I bring that and say that.

Speaker 8 (36:46):
So what I what I felt was and that's a
la Listen. The best thing for us to do is
to have one voice, one way, one mission, and I
would like that for be yours.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
I can't do. I'm not gonna do that to something
we love.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Now.

Speaker 8 (37:03):
A lot of people were like, you shouldn't have did that,
you you know, bah blah this, and they wanted me
to whatever, but I could. I couldn't talk to my man.
My man was non compete, all that kind of shit
going on with him. So to me, it was more
so about what's best for death Jam, right, And I
thought one way, one thought, you know what's best for
death Jam. That's why left. I never know it will
That's that's a falsehood. Near la even today we all

(37:27):
one hundred you know all right?

Speaker 1 (37:28):
Now, how do you feel about death Jam? Now do
you ever look at it and be like, oh, do
you look at it and be like that's what the
fuck they get? How about this? How you look at
it and we leave it at that? I'll look at
y'all like y'all death jam still like I'm caught in
the time zone. Like when I think death Jam, I
think you le'll Russell like, you know what, Let me
tell you something one seventy varick And am.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
I saying this correct?

Speaker 1 (37:52):
One sixty varick save so many rappers lives.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Let me tell y'all something.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
And this I have never I have never said this publicly,
but one sixty Barbreck was a place where it was
death Jam. It was when I first got to started
going to depth Jam. But they had rushed associated labels
in there. They had the violator, so you didn't have
to actually be on depth Jam.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
But you can roll dice in the one sixty barrack.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
You didn't get your haircut in one sixty Varick, and
you can also buy weed in one sixty Barrack.

Speaker 12 (38:22):
So artists didn't have to like yo, you think.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
About it when you first get signed, they get a check,
but there's nothing that makes you that person that you
just you just sold.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
To them that you are.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
So you're still streets. And that's why so many people
get a check and then they catch a case because
they catch a case cause they still in the streets.
But that place right there gave artists a place to
get the fuck out the hood, but still kind of
beat hood because you go buy weed there. Let's make the.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
That record for the.

Speaker 8 (38:54):
Record in my next life as a politician. I don't
know what he's talking about, but I wanted to want
to say one of the Lyric's points were less create
an environment that was about art.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
We always like that environment was done on purpose?

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Was it done on purpose?

Speaker 8 (39:12):
The outlay, how everything was, the you know, management records,
everything was right here.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
It was It was crazy.

Speaker 8 (39:19):
I remember a time it was me Redman, Lebron, James Mellow, Uh, Scarface, Ludacrous.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
You never know. People came no matter where they were.

Speaker 10 (39:33):
They just came to hang out, to hang out.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
A video video that mad challenges. We'd ad a two
or three in the morning.

Speaker 8 (39:40):
It was just a place where people and that that's
just something Lyric has always wanted us to not felt
like we was working, but it felt like we.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Was communion, you know, being in the community.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
You know.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Then when I went to the other building, it felt corporate,
like it was we sold the company. It was also
when one sixty fabric, that was when they were still
all that makes sense. But you I just want you
guys to know you saved a lot of rappers lives,
maybe indirectly or not, or straight up directly because that
was a.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Hangout at one point. That was the place. Like I
was on Violator, they would be like, yo, you know,
just come one.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Sixty Arrect and I'm talking about every artist Wu Tang
would be up there. They was on loud, but they
would still be up there, you know what I'm saying.
And it was like and when I got older, I
was like, yo, they created the hood that was in Manhattan.
It was in the city. For us. That ship was
the illis envinement. We need to make a documentary about that.
We'll cut you in so three hundred I heard you guys,

(40:47):
desks are in the middle of the whole. You guys like,
that's front line ship. Why do you guys want to
fuck it? Was?

Speaker 2 (40:57):
It motivation.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Or know.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (41:03):
We never felt like outwardly facing things. We're representative of
our influence, in our power, so we are very understated.
Period are all the office you referred to was comfortable,

(41:23):
but was understated. It was homie, So rock paper scissor.
We go for the homie and not for the flashy.
We want people to come in and recognize that work
is getting done, not that we're putting our feet up
on very expensive desk. We want all the money to

(41:44):
stay on the screen. We don't want to waste money by,
you know, trying to act important because we have flashier
offices or bigger cars.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
It we're past that. We're in the rubber band stage. Okay,
in the work in the street stage. I'm taking that.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
So now the young Doug.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
I want to speak about young Doug because at one
point it kind of seemed like young Doug was actually
on babies, cash money. Then he seemed like he was
with Gucci Man, and then he seemed like and it
was like when you stepped in, it kind of made him.
It seemed like he's whole. Now it seemed like you
was the right choice. Now was he originally signed at

(42:33):
three hundred from the beginning.

Speaker 6 (42:35):
He was signed to Gucci, and Gucci signed his action
to us, and we didn't feel that we needed to
run around, and it wasn't critical to us that everybody
knew and had to know. You know, you know, when

(42:59):
I went to the Red Parrot.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
This is real, old school New York City.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
Continue, when Fat Cat came and he sat in that corner,
he didn't.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Just bring up he didn't.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
He didn't. He didn't. He didn't advertise that he was
Fat Cat. But and it's more powerful who's the guy
in the corner.

Speaker 6 (43:25):
So I like when people put their name, our name
in their mouth because of the understated thing that we
got going. You know, it's silly when I see people
rolling with big security guys, big big, stupid security guys.
The first ones to run, the first one.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Okay, it's that little guy. It's that little guy you
got to be worried about. Right, It's a little guy
that you got to be worried about. You're gonna spill
it now that you said that. Okay, all right, this
is my friend Twin.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
He went to Vegas with eighty dollars and came back
with twenty. He's the brocus Bridge boy, he got a
good heart, he got a good hawk. My nigga Brokes
richest guy.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
To say, famous and rich kid. Thank you very hard,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Yeah they are they are.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
On Q see.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
So and now three hundred is it? Is it three
sixty based company or people? Can you know, get down
with three hundred and contract sixty. We believe in three sixty.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
We want to be partners, partners, not you know, and
we don't want to open up the barbecue restaurant and
then you start selling barbecue shots out the back.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
You want to be involved in every We want to
be involved in everything, you know.

Speaker 4 (44:46):
But there is the negative connotation to the whole You.

Speaker 6 (44:48):
Don't care about that. We don't pay any attention to
the connotation.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Because we go to work, right.

Speaker 6 (44:55):
Show has a negative because people, yeah, no, no, it
is a negative connotation because no one did it before us.
So that's why it has a negative connotation. And and
you know the reality is we want to be just partners.
You know, if we're going to invest our capital, our

(45:17):
sweat equity. If you ask me, I'm going to open
up a restaurant and I need some capital, what do
you think the capital usually represents fifty to fifty right ownership. Now,
imagine if I wasn't just capital. You came to me
and said, you know, I don't know anything about the

(45:37):
restaurant business.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
You know about the restaurant business, but I got this
great idea.

Speaker 6 (45:41):
So not only am I putting up capital, I'm putting
a sweat capital too.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Time is money, you know, So I just I want
to be if you.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
If it's successful and everybody loves the barbecue, then we
go together and say let's make some barbecue sucks and.

Speaker 8 (45:58):
We But we've been doing it foot interrupt you. We've
been doing it forever with the right artists. They always
wanted us to be.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Because essentially it's like your management. It's not only like
the game. Listen, yea. Even with young.

Speaker 8 (46:14):
Boy, I care who he's opening for, what time is
he going on? That's not that most record people don't.
By the way, most of them don't even show up,
you know what I mean. So so the reality of
it is the conversations we have in uh seed funder
early conversations. But you have to want to be my

(46:36):
partner right now. And the labels built to have different
kinds of deals for different kinds of people, whether you
want to be an entrepreneur, start your own label, whether
you want to be a straight artist, or but we
have to be involved in your life. Fuck rap, fucking singing.
We have to be involved in your life when you
wake up in the morning. We want to see that
at your fucking table. We want to be on your

(46:57):
board of the rats.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Now that that involves movies that involved I don't give
what you're doing. Do what what?

Speaker 8 (47:02):
What haven't we really done in any particular way. Business
is business. But at the end of the day, if
I'm going to invest in you and you're going to
invest in me, then we will eat with each other.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
But l comes to you right now.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
It says Kevin Lows, I want to put out a record,
and I only trust you and Leo. We talk about it.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Will be it'll be an honor to put out his record,
a fucking honor.

Speaker 8 (47:25):
Yeah, we talked about it too, North.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
I know.

Speaker 6 (47:36):
You know.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (47:38):
We live in the unique world of digital distribution. So
I don't have to go so far on the limb
to make a bunch of them and then spend a
bunch of money to buy that real estate in the
record store so we could get it on in a
very inexpensive way that you could test the market in

(48:01):
a innocent, honest, but effective way.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
I like this too. This is my favorite one so far.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
I'm just saying, man, you know these are my my guys.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
A lot of CEOs they talked indirect to me.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
The reason why I appreciate our relationship with both of
you guys is you even when I didn't like it,
even when I didn't let First of all, this is
one of the funniest stories. Was Fat Joe is trying
to clear a job rule record, right. So Fat Joe
calls me and goes, Yo, I'm going to bring the gangsters.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
People up there, and I'm going to see Leo Cans right.
I'm like, don't do that.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
Fast, but Fat Joe's does it anyway, right, So he goes,
I used to be Santa Claus for Russell Simmons ten
years straight his kids.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
So he said.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
He goes to see Leo and he's like, le all,
you gotta clear the record, and Leo said, no.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
You forgot one other part of it.

Speaker 6 (49:00):
I tell people, listen, in all due respect, the answer
is no. And when you open the window up and
fling me out the window and I'm just about to
hit the concrete.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
The answer is still gonna be nom.

Speaker 6 (49:15):
So if it was gonna be different than I could
understand you intimidating. But since it's not gonna be, you're
gonna have to actually fling me out and find out,
and then you're gonna end up in jail and fucked up.
It's gonna be a sad day all the way around.
And so they know, unbelievable. It's not no to get
a yes. It's a no because it's no. It's with

(49:37):
respect no, you know.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
And that's what makes you guys, hands down, that's what
that's the longevity you guys are having is a direct
effect through the realness that when artists, when you tell
artists when they're younger, like so much things that you you,
you guys both have taught me. Uh and I'll probably
acted like I didn't listen back then, but I applied

(50:02):
to my everyday life, like I don't apply math to
my everyday life, but I applied things that you guys taught.
Like the first time when me and Lee all tried
to do business, he said to me, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Today, I said a pun video. He said, I'll be there.
Hung up.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Nigga never asked for no information. Nigga never asked what states,
which city. He said, I'll be there, and I was like,
what that futad? An hour later he pulled up and
you pulled up with Ja Ru. It's the first time
I ever met Javu, who's one of my best friends
right now, and he pulled up with Java in the
town call. That's my man. But why when you want something,

(50:39):
you just you find no way in the way you
get what the hell you want?

Speaker 2 (50:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (50:45):
That's pretty obvious ansor you know it's I think that.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
I'm a hard worker.

Speaker 6 (50:55):
I was raised right shout out to my parents in
my family, and I don't want to ever embarrass them
or embarrass my family.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
And let me put it to you this way.

Speaker 6 (51:09):
You're never going to go in the locker room and
say what the fuck happened to you? You didn't show up.
I'm the right person. If you have time, I'll tell
you the real story. So you know how I'm funny,
my accent is and you know how my name is spelled.

(51:29):
So when I touched down in America and I was
in a public school and after school program. They're choosing
baseball teams, and motherfuckers chose me last because of my
funny name and my funny accent. But I caught every
fucking ball and I put everybody out the last time

(51:52):
I was called last. So that's why, you know, I
just have to work harder. I'm not that intelligent, I'm
not that you know. I don't have an insane gift,
but I'm ready to put it on people and work very,
very hard on the movie.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Man.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
I want to take it from the Run DMC days because, like,
can you give us a run DMC story because you
was a road manager, right, I'm proud. I'm proud.

Speaker 13 (52:32):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (52:34):
The thing that I use every single day more than
anything was my road manager, my road experience, like Kevin
was referring to the road. My road experience separates me
from all those other people I compete with every day.
So we have so many stories, from going up to

(52:54):
Detroit and witnessing the young boys to Long Beach when
all shit broke out and we're on the nightly news,
the live aid and performing in front of that historic show.

(53:16):
So many many beautiful stories. But I guess the biggest
and most important story that tells you the fabric of
who I am and the fabric of what we represent.
And remember we represent the blue collar, the hard working.
Is when we were selling two Joe Louis's back to back,

(53:40):
two gardens, back to back, the spectrum, back to back.
Our clique on the road was five Joey, d Jay, Runnie,
Ray and Leor. We didn't have an entourage, big security guides.
We carried our own luggage and before the curtain dropped

(54:03):
and the music was finished, we're in the car on
the way to the next city. So you know, all
when I look at all these new rappers with their
you know, fifty people entourage and these big security guards
that all you have to say is boo and this
start running running. It's it's like clowns security. And so

(54:34):
that's the greatest story is we never missed a gig
in three and a half years.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Told me, okay, one gig one night.

Speaker 6 (54:41):
We did five shows in three different cities, three different states,
five shows in three different states. We were mobile, we
stayed out of trouble and we were onto the next city.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
And that's you know, you know, we were and grateful.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
Remember Fish spot. We used to eat that La pesca.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
Do absolutely absolutely that fish soup man. Fish.

Speaker 6 (55:09):
Watch Nori's face when I first shorted the fish shop.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
I'm not doing that.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
I'm looking like that. And then I gave spoon. I
gave him a spoon and then boy.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
I was turned out from the fish soup spot. Every meeting,
every meeting we had was around lunch.

Speaker 6 (55:27):
Why is noy he always booking.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Pesca do no?

Speaker 2 (55:35):
No?

Speaker 1 (55:35):
This is this is one time right. I thought I
was the man because this is when Leo walks into
the door, they say fish man like this. It was
like some big ship. So I started going there a lot.
So I wanted to take Leo out one day and
I was like, yo, and I took care of the bill.
Lee all like your hold on whore you.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Who you gave him?

Speaker 1 (55:56):
The bill called the ball. Yo. When the person's the man,
you gotta let them be the man. You can't try
to creep up with me. I learned their life lesson
that day. Leo was pissed, not at me, He's mad
at them, like this is my spot. I don't care
how much he comes here. Remember I'm the guy who
brunk man show that respect.

Speaker 6 (56:16):
This is real, Sonori, I'm gonna I'm going to say
something before I leave.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
Okay, thank you for Kevin and Day they are going
to stay. Don't to keep it going.

Speaker 6 (56:24):
So here's my thing. So what's the year twenty sixteen? Yes,
I believe, Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
I don't even know. I only think about records. I
know this is you know.

Speaker 6 (56:41):
You know I'm pre sucker MC So that's how I
think about time. Is that eighty two eighty three?

Speaker 1 (56:47):
You know? So I don't know if you've read.

Speaker 6 (56:50):
The recent report of the Youth of the rib A
where for the first time in eighteen years, the business
has has grown. I'm telling you, and I'm telling everybody
that listens, if you're an entrepreneur and you want to

(57:12):
get into a great business, not a good business, and
get papered up, get into the music business, the record business.
For the last two decades, the business has been shrinking
and consolidating. So there are no deaf JEMs, no islands,
no motowns, no A and M's, no.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Chrysalis's boutiques, boutiques.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
This is a time for you to cobble together a
little capital because it's not expensive and find stunning talent
and putting them out in the marketplace.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
This is the moment in time.

Speaker 6 (57:58):
I've never seen a more fertile business environment as it
is today. So your listeners, I know they love the
nostalgia and the fun that you guys have, but all serious,
all jokes aside.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
I do want to leave.

Speaker 6 (58:17):
You and your viewership with the absolute clarity that what
better business that you can go tonight and record someone
ship it the next day all around the world at
zero costs, no manufacturing costs, no shipping costs, no obsolescence,

(58:42):
no inventory, no everything digital and inexpensive and very efficient.
Remember we used to make videos that cost us money
to promote our songs. Now there's a YouTube that you
put the video Now, this.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Makes noise for abe you can get. You just put
a video up and get paid for it.

Speaker 6 (59:08):
So I'm just saying, man, I'm tired of the highly
concentrated industry.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
Now is the time. You may be too late if
you keep waiting to get this paper.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
There's a lot of paper.

Speaker 6 (59:24):
Out here, and this is a great business, and I
want you and your consumers to recognize how great of
a business this cops.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
You enjoy streaming you think streaming.

Speaker 6 (59:35):
Streaming is such a friendly and wonderful consumer proposition. All
the world's music for ten dollars a month. And it's
the first iteration. My daughter doesn't want to hear classical
music or African music.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
She likes the pop hits.

Speaker 6 (59:53):
Maybe as we iterate that business, her bill would be
three bucks a month and she only gets the top hits.
So it's just the infancy. You know that streaming is
only a two three percent penetration, so just imagine when
it's fifty percent penetration. So don't have just Kevin and

(01:00:15):
I be the only paper up motherfuckers out here. Okay,
we don't want to be by ourselves. We want other
people to hang out with. We want other people to
seize the opportunity of this environment and start creating new
special companies that you know are culturally significant and healthy

(01:00:39):
for artists and and creators.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
So thank you, beautiful, thank.

Speaker 6 (01:00:47):
You, Thank you guys that you're in good hands with
Kevin KAMV.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Before you go, we got.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
To take a picture over before you come on. If
you don't stop, nothing, we're dreaming.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Okay, Okay, thank you, give thank you so much. Of course,

Yeah, so keV.

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
And and I know we we we we we we.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Touched on it a little bit earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Yeah, I do whatever. Yeah, but the love for the
game has to with boy Jamar Bouce.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Yeah. I was about to tell them come in, but
how how many years have you been in the game?

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
Cap? Thirty two and you still love it the same way?
Or sometimes you wake up and be like this, you
got to want to take a break sometimes when I
when I my critical moment.

Speaker 8 (01:02:28):
Was uh, when I left that jam you know that?
And then when in two thousand and nine when I said, Yo,
the business is about to change and y'all y'all making decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
There's a chairman.

Speaker 8 (01:02:45):
I'm saying, yo, the decisions that we're making, I don't
know if I could continue the same way, you know
what I mean? And I said, so I had to
go hug some trees, had to go to hug some
trees walk on the dirty saying, and I said, I'm out.
People know I left in two thousand and nine. I said, yeah,
you know what, I'm good. But then you know, the

(01:03:09):
whole trade thing happened. And you know he was his
manager was one of my interns.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Talk about songs.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
Yes, yes, And he said, y'all, I gotta fire my
manager said, man, why are you gonna fire him? You
should really work it out.

Speaker 8 (01:03:22):
And so he said, y'all, I need you to uh
do a marrier.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
I said, yeah, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
And you like that groundwork more like management?

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Do you do?

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
You enjoy it?

Speaker 8 (01:03:34):
You gotta understand, Nord. I enjoyed being beside talent. I
enjoyed being signed brothers. When should go down, you know,
go down. I'm just enjoyed being around and next to people,
you know what I mean. So to me, I don't
know how to I really was where I got lost.
I'm sitting in our rey tower. All I had to
do was go around the country and fix problems. But

(01:03:56):
I tell you we should sign this artist named Chris Brown,
and you say he's not going to be I can't do.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
I don't know what tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
I remember because.

Speaker 8 (01:04:08):
I said, no name, but my girl manager them. I said,
you wish you to sign him, you don't want to sign him?
Then I tell you, yo, Rick shout to Rick. Rick
is one of those y'all you don't want to continue with.
You know, I was at that moment and you want

(01:04:29):
me to stand next to the motherfucker's putting their feet.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
Over the head and I don't know. I don't know
what that ship. I don't do.

Speaker 8 (01:04:36):
So my thing was I wanted to be with Arton
and so when I left, it was like.

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
I had to find myself.

Speaker 8 (01:04:43):
And really, at the end of the day, I can't
go anywhere because even to this day, I still talk
to Todd, I still talk the whole I still talk
to X, I still talk to Jack, I still talk
to your silly ass.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
That's why.

Speaker 8 (01:04:56):
At the end of the day, that's so I don't
know how to get out of it, because it's in me.
You're give us someth I'm a I'm a former artist,
a DJ. When I was president of def JAM, I
had twelve hundreds in my office. Everybody noticed that we
we used to fuck Maryland and hang out and look
and I'm miss blessed Pop, I'm miss blessed.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Gotta be Twin. I can't even be mad. You find
out it's Twin, You're like, he got eight dollars in
his pocket.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
He fucked up good You got twenty, but he he
got good. Heart. We get my tip.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Kevin Lowsman, I really appreciate you coming hanging out with
us because you guys are so important to the culture.
I love what you guys are doing at three hundred
because I just I just love the fact that you
guys can make all this money, have all the success,
and then still want to be the people that help
the artists push forward. And that's that because at the

(01:05:49):
end of the day, it could have been like it's
just all about us, fuck y'all. But it's like you
guys is like, like, I know these artists don't know
who you are, and that's what would it like. For instance,
like if Mellie Man will put me on a care
restaurant put me on, it's like, all right, cool, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Exactly who he is. Whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
But Kev's history is so rich Leo, history is so rich,
and they don't really bring it up. It's not like
they go to the artist and be like, you know,
I made such and such and such.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
They don't really live on the past like they said.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
So I know that's why I gave that love of
to day day because I'm like, yo, listen if you listen,
because it's going to come a time Like I just
keeping it real.

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
I don't give for who you are, nobody.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
There's not a book that says you got zero account
in your account today and then tomorrow you got four
hundred and twenty thousand, and how to act after that
four hundred and twenty thousand clears, like you know, when
it's pending, you're looking like, oh shit, like is it coming?

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
But when it fucking really clears, you like I got
four hundred and I could really do some shit.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
And then you start you stop listening to them because
you think you did it on your own. I mean
that's artist syndrome one on what you know what I'm saying, like,
h and it's crazy because it might happen to you too,
or three many times it happened to me three times
up you know, put up Tommy Boy then Depth Jam,

(01:07:09):
you know what I mean? And Depth Jam was like
playing for the Yankees at that time, Like it was
truly like playing for the Yankees. It was like, like
I said, like I never went on tour that many times,
Like Kevin Lowles came to me and was like, look, motherfucker,
we we here, but we need to be here and
you might not see your family for the next two months.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
You can fly him out though, fly them out, but
that that does that still exist in hip hop.

Speaker 8 (01:07:37):
I'm glad you Every year we put out a new
artist tour. We put out Young Hustle Tour last year.
Now we're dropping the Birth of a New Nation tour
with Shot Lizzie Day Day and P and b Rock
goes out in November, A P and b Rock. We're
always gonna invest in the street because what I hope

(01:07:57):
to find in the city is the next Nor, the
next P and b Rock, the next Shock, Lizzie, the
next day they and we go to every city. I
don't just invite fans, I invite hustlers, invite the artists.
I'm like, whoever making noise in the town, come out
and hang out with us. But you're gonna look at
my ship and you wanna tell me how i' gonna
break my ship in your marketplace and we're gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:08:16):
Get money together. And that to me, you can't you
get no better than.

Speaker 8 (01:08:20):
That because again, like day, they still growing, so he
don't really know how to engage like Norrid, like I
want Noorid to fuck with them all.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
I want him to.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
I want to win your artist development partner.

Speaker 10 (01:08:32):
You know you don't.

Speaker 14 (01:08:35):
I ask somebody for nothing eighty four. But I'm saying like,
like to me, I want I want people.

Speaker 8 (01:08:43):
The reason we do this tour because I want young
artists to know that we believe that through touching your fans,
you become.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Art, not just a record, right, And that's that's the difference.
We're not. We're not pop music like that, you know
what I mean. We got to get on our street.
We have to be in the street because I feel
like I feel like that too, because I feel like
I lot of times these artists don't have training, like
they don't have they don't have somebody like me, Like
like I remember seeing young Dog go to Serious Satellite

(01:09:09):
and I was I remember seeing like him saying, y'
I'm gonna play the record and then Lee all going
to Sway and going to his air and I.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Was just like, people don't care that much. No more
like you're the only company that fucking kids like that,
Like you.

ninety seven had something called hot Night in Jamaica.

Speaker 8 (01:16:49):
You always tell me.

Speaker 1 (01:16:50):
And they flew out there, and they flew out there
and we had no choice, like Whole, like this is
a true story. Hole the other rooms was wasn't was booked,
so Whole had to stay in the same hotel as us, Jamain,
we had to stay in the same hotel, like we're
all in one hotel. And it just it got a
chance for people to meet each other, like all right,

(01:17:11):
who I want you on the record? You and your
answer or you wanted me on record, I ain't answer.
Now we just sitting down drinking red stripes.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):

Speaker 17 (01:17:43):
It's important for the culture. Is important for the new
artists to know how to how what we went through,
and how the structure and and the networking.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
The bigger, the bigger picture of this hip hop industry.

Speaker 17 (01:17:58):
You know what I mean than just being an artist,
of being a producer, how to get longevity, how to
be in there for years, how to shut up your
build your brand and get your revenue right, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
When I got to New York, I'm gonna have to
cut you off because nobody asked you.

end of the day, you know, style chic, I mean,
just everybody who participated in Drink Chance because me and
my partner dj e F and we had an idea

But it's recognizing to me the most important influences in
the game, which are the DJs.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
I'm ready for my order. Yeah, yeah, you need to
get you need to get a great bed of water, so.

Speaker 2 (01:35:40):
Something.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
But y'all knew each other a long time, so impressed.
You're a very instrumental person in this industry. And you
know that's what a podcast, that's what we're trying to
do here, is we want to keep our legends alive.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
Our music. So much the.

Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
Minute somebody does something or somebody you know, they find
out this, we just kill our own legends. That is
so bad in our culture. So what we want to
do the purpose of our podcast to keep our legends alive,
especially especially the people that's behind the scenes, because yeah,
we're the fourth front as artists. But you know what,
an artist ain't shipped without five people behind him, and

(01:36:13):
sometimes people don't recognize those five people behind.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
Him and those positions.

Speaker 1 (01:36:16):
So that's why we interviewed Leon and Kevin Lyles earlier
because a lot of people, you know, they just think
that they're just the check writers when they're a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
More to it. And the same thing with you.

Speaker 1 (01:36:26):
It's like, you know, we appreciate you people like that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:29):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:36:30):
We appreciate and we want to look at Jada kids
trying to slide.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
We've seen you, nigga.

Speaker 1 (01:36:33):
Now you got you got a nice assistant.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
Listen, you ain't from youngkins at all. Let's keep it real.

Speaker 1 (01:36:42):
From bankman like a motherfucker, right, come on, come on,
got good assistance. Yo, ain't gonna lie Leo Kohn's and
Kevin Lows bruing the most females.

Speaker 8 (01:36:52):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
Is that not accurate?

Speaker 1 (01:36:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:36:54):
I mean they bought the most money.

Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
To make sense, How did how did you get started
with bad Boy?

Speaker 10 (01:37:05):
In turn? In turn? I did it.

Speaker 13 (01:37:07):
I did it the way it should be done. You
started at the bottom, that's what you. Yeah, like like
anything that's handed to you, you don't you don't appreciate it.
And when Bad Boy in the early days and kiss,
I mean it's nineteenth Street.

Speaker 10 (01:37:20):
The office was the size of this room right here,
like everybody was working there, you know, big shot off.
If y'all don't mind to to some of the day
one June Balloon.

Speaker 1 (01:37:32):
Sharing the butcher are single marriage.

Speaker 10 (01:37:35):
There you go, super Marrio where you at?

Speaker 13 (01:37:38):
Man Like those are the guys who brought me in
and gave me my platform. Then you know, moving forward,
we had guys like Malcolm MIBs, all these dudes who
really put work in the game to get Bad Boy.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
To to to where your day.

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
There you go, Cacorn, she was in the beginning.

Speaker 13 (01:37:54):
No barrowe Barrow JB around here somewhere. That's who y'all
should snatch up. But you are too smooth because you
know Jason Jay Jeff is extra smooth. Hold on, no,
that was Jeff Burrows.

Speaker 1 (01:38:10):
Walking b a meth. Don't walk in the building. God damn,
we did Jzu yesterday too.

Speaker 3 (01:38:17):
There was.

Speaker 1 (01:38:19):
Nay yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:38:21):
We gotta shout out the street team cats out there
too that we wrapped four Oh.

Speaker 13 (01:38:28):
Yeah, like I mean, and you know I come from
the Street Team days. I come from from handing out flyers.

Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
Waving saying that is is that possible for the Street
Team to exist again? Because the online market, there's a
way to know it's it's definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:38:45):
A lane for it.

Speaker 17 (01:38:46):
But the labels, the artists got to formulate their own
Street Team. They want you to just go there, go
in the conference room, sitting in front of the screen,
and that's the new Street Team.

Speaker 2 (01:38:58):
Like you know what I'm saying, that's the new ship like.

Speaker 10 (01:39:00):
But but it's nothing like the real.

Speaker 1 (01:39:05):
On the ground.

Speaker 10 (01:39:05):
And that's what the Street Team was like. Put it
this way, it'd be albums.

Speaker 18 (01:39:10):
Coming out now I don't even know they just they
just here. Back in the days, you drive down this
you knew ready you was getting on the train.

Speaker 2 (01:39:23):
We was hitting you.

Speaker 10 (01:39:24):
You know, you driving down the West Side highways.

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
Postal balls up. It's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:39:28):
And when you had the team in each market, you
you had the post of that market.

Speaker 1 (01:39:31):
And that's what it was.

Speaker 10 (01:39:32):
That's what it was.

Speaker 13 (01:39:33):
I could I could call you, E I could call
at any given moment, you know what's going on in
Miami or I need I need to know who.

Speaker 2 (01:39:42):
Do you think the Internet killed the Street Team?

Speaker 10 (01:39:45):
No, I think what made it.

Speaker 19 (01:39:46):
It made made the money. It was giving out different breads.
But the n O R E and the kissing game
of all them budgets. These new niggas that never know
that nig the budget.

Speaker 1 (01:40:05):
So I'm looking at these niggas budget right now taking
a hit, they dead it.

Speaker 17 (01:40:11):
If I can just send an artist to the office
and do it internet blast, that's way cheaper than there.
You go a group of dudes that go in the
van or go up the East coast, hit the whole highway,
hit the subway, hit shampoo out there.

Speaker 1 (01:40:25):
He's still doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:27):
Is like the last Man.

Speaker 1 (01:40:30):
He's about that in a minute. He's my nigga.

Speaker 13 (01:40:34):
I see, I'm gonna tell you all your artists up
and coming, get your boys together, because I'm you know,
I'm a firm believer in grassroots. I'm a firm believer
in touching the people. I'm a firm believer in the DJs.
Get out there, put your hustle in. I noticed social
media everybody working on a million but go ahead, go
hands on, you got to do.

Speaker 1 (01:40:54):
We did the poster boards and remember.

Speaker 2 (01:40:57):
That was that was you was you.

Speaker 1 (01:41:02):
Been on the street team and die want the best.
You look at stickers like that's all him, Like ef
it comes from that, and he's here. He's still a
guy who wants to play vinyl. He's a pyiod. He's
a hip hop purist.

Speaker 2 (01:41:17):
That's what.

Speaker 1 (01:41:18):
That's what.

Speaker 2 (01:41:18):
That's what. That's what. I call him a hip hop purist.

Speaker 1 (01:41:21):
And you know that's different from these people like these people.

Speaker 2 (01:41:25):
Just know a computer like he he what's going on?
You're taking batteries from all right?

Speaker 1 (01:41:29):
So he's the type of guy like he appreciates the
old school. What happened with the old school presented?
