Speaker 2 (00:42):
Much love.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Let's get into the interview.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Bootleg Cap Show.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
We got a special guest in here, a living legend,
and randomly enough, the only time he's been on the
show by himself, E-40.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Real talk, because the last one was with Mount Westmore, right? Yes,
it was. Mount Westmore, yeah. Yes, it was.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
It is good to see you, 40.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Good seeing you, fam.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, you made history, man. You dropped the first ever
quadruple album?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
In hip hop.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
First to first one that I know of.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I never heard of a quadruple album.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's not from an official, you know, like a military
missile artist. Right. You feel me?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
40 records, 10 on each. I got midway through disc three.
Soul and Vallejo is probably my favorite joint because I
feel like you just kind of brought everybody from the
city into one record.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh, yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Everybody can have their own.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
That's why you do 40 songs. So everybody can pick
what they love.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
You know what I mean? It's going to be different years.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
What was the process? Because I know usually you... I
feel like we've had to wait a few years. Was
it two or three years?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Three years, right?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Since you dropped your last album. Which is odd for you.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Very odd. Um.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
So talk about just walking me through the idea of landing. Like, look,
we're going to do it. Fuck it. You've done the
triple album thing before. How'd we land on a four album?

Speaker 3 (02:01):
The way we landed on four albums was me feel
like I owe my fan base.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
This. I owe my fan base four albums.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
And 40 songs is really, these days, not really a
lot for four albums. 40 songs for four albums.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Especially for you. Especially for me, because I didn't do,
you know, you already know I didn't do triple albums.
I didn't do double albums.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
I didn't do, like, I've been doing triple albums. Remember,
I had the block for sure, Welcome to the Soil, 1, 2, 3,
and 4, 5, 6.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
You feel me?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
I didn't have the day shift, revenue retrieving day shift,
night shift, graveyard shift, overtime shift. You know, I've been doing,
and in the 90s, I had the Element of Surprise
double CD.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
You feel me?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
You know, that was 1997, 98, somewhere around there. You know,
the grit don't quit. But anyway, I owe my fan
base this, man, because they used to me dropping, and
I went ahead and dropped this.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Thing for, you know, for the culture. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
You know, for the culture. It's not trying to be
shock value. Is that what they call it, shock value?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, they say shock value. That's fair. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Like, I'm trying to make headlines by doing the four-hour night. Right.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
No, this was generally just me just... Dropping great music. And,
you know, you roll the dice, man. You know what
I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I rolled the dice. And, you know, it came out nice.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Because a lot of times you drop that many songs,
you know, you can get scrutinized for that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
And they'll be like, man, he did that for nothing.
But the feedback, man, straight blappers, man. I came back
to back. No skips.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Not for sure, man. I think it's a testament, too,
to be able to drop out 40 records without any
filler or skips. Right.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
It really is.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
People can't put out 15 songs without half of it
being bullshit.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
And to be in the game for almost 40 years
and having the most top 200 Billboard album entries in
the history of hip-hop besides NBA Youngboy.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Talk about it. I'm number two.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Talk about it.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
You feel me?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
And you did it the old school way.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I did it the old school way. You know what
I'm saying? Where.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
You didn't have access to just using your phone to
go get a cassette or a CD or any album.
We had to get up early in the morning, you
understand me, get dressed, hop in the vehicle, head out
every Tuesday, and you go to your local store, your
local mom and pop store or your chain store, and
go ahead and.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Break your paper. Nowadays, you know what I'm saying, you subscribe.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
To, you know, streaming outlets and whatnot, and you know,
on Thursday at 9 p.m. Pacific Time, 12 a.m. Eastern Time,
you can just push the button on a Thursday, push
the button and get whatever album you want, brother.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
You feel me?

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Talk to me, because back in the day, you had
kind of like a, a groundbreaking situation with Jive. You
were using them for distribution. You had a 75-25, something
like that.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah. And they couldn't hold a reserve on the first
$ 200, 000 because that's what I was selling before I even
got with them. Wow. So, you know, when you can't
hold a reserve, you know, you get your... You understand
what I'm saying? So, you know.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
And back then, that's when CDs are $ 20.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Absolutely. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
You go to Sam Goody, $ 18.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
99.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (05:13):
The Yaper was the Yaper. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
And, like, your deal... was one of the first deals
that a number was put out in a press release.
How much it was for, is that right?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
That was an estimated deal.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
But it was put out there.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
$ 3 million deal, that's what they were saying. It was
a big deal back then. Y'all got to understand what
year this was. This was 1994. You know what I'm saying?
I was independent already from 88 to 94. Just imagine
me making my moves for seven years.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
What is it, 88? Six years. Six years? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Independent you know saying small distributors such as city heart
records and uh you know music people and using that
as the main hub to get orders from all over
the place when i sat down with barry wise of
jive records barry was like see all he showed me
the sound scan nelson sound scan which is now luminate

(06:08):
got it right so he showed me the sound scan
he say water he said check this out so you
see all these zeros you see this right here there's
zero in this state you see this is You see
the five CDs in this state.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
All these are going to be filled up. And he
wasn't lying.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
When I came with my debut album, In a Major Way, fuck,
they face opened.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
You know what I'm saying? Like this.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
So you were able to kind of see all these
markets that you weren't moving in units before. You're like, oh, now.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
I seen the machine. Yeah. You feel me?

Speaker 3 (06:37):
And you know, some people live in the hood by choice,
not by force.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Or some people live in the hood by force, not choice. Yep.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Well, that's how it was with us in the Bay
Area with independent music.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
We had to, it was by force, we had to
be independent. We didn't have no other outlets. We had
to do it on our own. Mm-hmm. You feel me?

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, and it was funny, too, because, like, if you
think about, we always talk about, like, I feel like,
I just had too short up here. Yeah. And just, like,
you know, the pioneering of, independent rap that came out
of that era. Like Master P cut his teeth in
the bay. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
He was out there with us and he got with
my uncle St. Charles. So you know how a lot
of people say you know, they call everybody uncle. No,
this is my real uncle. This is my, St.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Charles Thurman is my mama's brother. It was 11 of them.
It was 11 in the family. All but my granddaddy
and grandmama. You had 8 girls, 3 boys.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
You feel me? St.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Charles was just To this day, he's just an amazing person.
He's an amazing father figure. You understand me? And he
was always like, you know, uncle is like people's second dad.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
100%.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
So he was like my second dad. 100%. Taught me
a lot. You know what I'm saying? Taught me a lot.
Taught all the cousins, all his little nephews. You feel me?

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Taught us a lot about the gang. So anyway, we
doing our thing. We needed him and he needed us
because we provided him with everything. The talent and the songs.
And he provided us with the business skills and taught
us a lot.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
You feel me? Me and the Click.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
When I say that, I'm talking about Sick with the Records. Me, B-Legit, D-Shot,
Sugar T. You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 (08:22):

Speaker 2 (08:26):
So it was MVP, Most Valuable Players, 1988. Okay. It
was Most Valuable Players. It was a four-song EP. Yes, sir.

the hurry-up-ness, right? So we did Left Side. We had
a Vogue tire on there with money around it and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (09:22):

So that's the birth of the mob music.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
The name of it, yes. The name.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
There was a name to the music.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yes, and we, I feel, I really want to give
this to Tusho, but he had the funk. He had
the funk, you know, because my big bro had, you
know what I'm saying, me, the Dauphine beat.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
You know what I'm saying? That was the first, I
felt like that was funk, but it was mob.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
So I put the mob music on it.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Nobody can ever say that 40 didn't coin mob music,
and I lived it. I did mob music better than
pretty much anybody on this planet, and nobody can say
I haven't.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah. You know what I mean? Along with Too Short.
You know what I'm saying? That's my big bro, and
he was before me, B.R., before me, before rap. You
know what I'm saying? Before I started.

on Down and Dirty.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
But Mr. Flamboyant was a single that was out.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
So I came with Mr. Flamboyant and it just lit
up the world. It was the most unique thing. And

I'm a composer. I played the drums all the way
from 4th grade to 12th grade. You feel me?

So I was at Bobby Ford's through there. Shout out
to Bobby Ford. We in Fairfield, California. And I step
in there. I say, Bobby, I want to produce a beat.
So he set the keyboard up. He had a few
samples in there, motherfucker, that I wanted to really rock with.
So he just like, and I just came up.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
I start playing it. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
And that was Mr. Flamboyant. As a youngster, I never
knew Nathan. You know, that disobedient-ass child in your neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know, the one the police was always chasing. Straight
down the dirty for my props.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
11 years old. Extra man. He's hard-headed. Shrining rocks. This
is 1989, brother, and I'm guessing. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
If it was a fifth party, all of us would
be drunk. Don't even like trip on the little petty
punk shit like that.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
What is he saying, man? He's talking about hot ones
to the back.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
You know, I was talking about, you know, see, he
throws the Hulk unit in the big-ass gumbo pot. Foam, stir,
let it settle to make it lock. You can like
Rodgers Lee Taylor real swinging when it's about to smell.
As far as the overkill, 500 grams extra pertaining to
the triple beam scale. Solid as a rock, white, white, white, A1,
good yola. None of those scantless ass cake up with
baking soda.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
You feel me? I was just popping it. You feel me?
In 89. 89.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Rapping like that is crazy.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Rapping like that. First one talking about all that stuff, man.
Because I was a hustler. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Even just like the wordplay.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
In 89, you really only had Rakim who was on
a level like that.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Come on. I was popping it.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
That's crazy, man.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, so then we came with Down and Dirty. You know,
that really took us to the top. That's when City
Hall Records was like, hey, St. Charles, you know those
guys you had on the phone the other day? And
the ones that you said, that I said, one raps
too fast and the other one raps like he's reading.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
That was me and B to the J, right? He said, hey, man,
can I get like 5,000 of those CDs? Yeah, yeah.
He had to backtrack. He had to walk it back. Walter,
I love you, but you know what you had to do.
You had to walk it back.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
We proved you. But what you did, you gave us
this extra strength. You gave us this, I'm going to
show you what we can do. And we made a
lot of money together, us and City Hall Records.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I can imagine, man. Yeah, because Master P was out there.
He had a record store, right?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
He had a record store.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
I didn't know about that, but I know he said
he had a record store, but he was in the Bay.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Don't get it twisted. And he was making music.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
And there were so many great rappers in the Bay
that Master P was kind of like, you know, not
as great as we thought he was going to end
up being. You know, when you have success, you get confidence.
And when you have confidence, you'll take it, especially when
you got the drive. And you know how to, you

(15:48):
understand me, push your product. And that's what Master P did.
So he went down.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
He was very brilliant. He got with my Uncle St.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Charles.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yeah. You feel me? Figured it out. Yeah, they figured
it out together.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
And he went and got down south and went to
the sticks of Louisiana and all over the place out
that way. And went and got some people that were
great talent with different styles and everything.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
And he put them on the label.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
And them dudes was very grateful and humble. We out
here with, you know, we in the Bay. You know,
California with, you know, people that, you know, want to
be spoiled and whatnot. Like, they quit after their first
little album. All my artists, they left. They wanted to leave.
I didn't have to.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
I was like, go ahead. Go.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Y'all can go. I'll keep you on the label, but
you know what? This might be a blessing in the future.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
You know what I mean? So I was like, go ahead.
You feel me? A lot of them. So, you know, P,
all them dudes in the South, all the people in
the South that he hired. I mean, not hired, but
he signed. They were grateful. So when they see their
first checks, they're like, okay, boom, we good.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
And we see we can make some money with this.
And they blossomed.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
No limit. Blossomed. Pete took it to a whole nother level.
I take my hat off to him. I got nothing
but love for Pete. Like that.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
I always wondered for you, like, you always say, like,
you are, I feel like whatever you do is always
unapologetically 40. Even if you're like, okay, I want to
work with some of the youngsters or maybe... go somewhere
sonically that's that's newer yeah in the bay i feel
like there was this crazy movement of like you and

(17:21):
sally sell and too short and mac mall and all
like you said the mob music shit when did you
kind of notice that the sonics were changing and like
there was this kind of new thing happening that ended
up being called hyphy but obviously before it was called
just like mob music wasn't called mob music before it
was called right but when did you kind of feel

(17:42):
the shift, like, oh, there's some shit going on that, like,
is different.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Well, this is, so I'll tell you this.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Listen, and I'm going to be, I'm going to be,
let me, let me, man, let me, let me be
very careful about this, because there's a lot of suckers
out there that'd be, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Oh, you need to put your mic closer.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh, okay, okay. No, no, you're good, you're good. Okay,
let me be real careful about this. Mm-hmm. This is cranberry.
I ain't going to tell you what else in it, but, um.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Maybe some of that, uh. E-40 tequila? Tycoon vodka. The
tycoon vodka. Ooh, I haven't had the vodka. I had
the tequila. The tequila's wonderful.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
I have to give you a care package. Please, anyway.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Let you be careful about your answer.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
So let me tell you something, man. Man, cats and
real motherfuckers in the Bay.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Can I cuss? Yeah, of course. Real cats in the Bay.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Like the solid ones, not the goofy motherfuckers that go
off conspiracy. They know motherfuckers going dumb off her. Mustard
and Mayonnaise is going dumb off of my song. Mustard
and Mayonnaise is going dumb off of my song. Seven
Much is an act of ass. I got footage of
Mac Dre, you know what I'm saying, me, in Seattle

(18:54):
or Portland, I believe, going dumb to, we gonna act
of ass. Wasn't hating or nothing.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
None of that bullshit. He wasn't hating like that. None
of that, man. People paint these smoke and mirrors theories
and all that, you know what I'm saying, me, so.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
They was going crazy off my song because I know
Sweet Jimmy's David.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
From Sweet Jimmy's. He's a good friend of ours. He's
our family. You know what I'm saying? Man, I remember
back in 2003, he was like, man, they go crazy
when we play gasoline.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
They was like the whole hyphy shit inside his club.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
So it didn't have a title. You know what I'm saying?
But my music made people... Do that. You feel me?
When I came with, this is a slumper with me
and Turf Talk. Turf Talk and myself. I was featured
on the song. Rick Rock did it. This is a slumper.
We can go to a lot of the Kick the
snake song.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well the first time i ever heard keek was on
ring it.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Ring that was that was up by some hyphy i
don't know if you want to know we was up
tempo our sound was different than everybody else's hyphy wasn't
really up tempo at the time like that it was
just but they would go they would they would do
the hyphy shit they.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Would do the dance and To the yin-yang, too short,
burn well, all that shit, man. You feel me? And so,
you know, I come with, you know, the Federation.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
This 2003, Mac Dre was well alive, never had anything
to say about it. I'm talking about well alive. You know,
been on my radio show, been to my Vince Nittio shoot, quarterbacking.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
This is with the Federation. Quarterbacking. Quarterbacking.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Was that with the Clips? Yeah, we did it with
the Clips. I flew him out to the Bay Area.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
We did that. You feel me? You know? Matt Drake
was at that visit.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
So I say this shit all the time and people
act like that. And you know, it's a trip because
I be like, man, I wonder, these Bay Area motherfuckers,
they know damn well he was there. Real Bay Area rappers, too, like, known,
and they never say nothing about it, and they know
he was there. And I'm like, why they don't chime
in when niggas be painting their fake narrative?

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Right.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
And I be like, man, I think niggas hate me
on the tuck, and I ain't never did nothing but.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Show niggas love and get on they songs the whole worldwide,
but that shit be bothering me a little bit. And
I'm taking notes now. You know, when you get older,
you get a little crankier. And Lil be like... You
need your credit, man. Yeah, you be like, you get
a little cranky. You be like, man, you know what?
I'm tired of this shit. I'm tired of supporting motherfuckers
the whole woo-wop. You feel me?

Speaker 1 (21:21):
I do feel like any time any Bay Area artist
that matters has come out, they always get the 40 feature.
No problem.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
I always look out. Yeah. But they don't look out.
When people saying that bullshit, they don't chime in and say, nah, 40,
he right. Mac Dre was there. The reason he wasn't
in the Visnidio.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
is because he had to leave because he was on
some type of curfew or whatever. He was staying in
Sacramento at the time.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
You know what I'm saying? And at that time, I
used to argue. I'm talking about not just.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
That Viznitio, but hella Viznitios. I'm arguing with all these
high-power quote-unquote directors because, you know, at that time, You
know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I have major distribution.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
So they say, man, you probably need to get this
person to do it.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
You feel me?

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Right, right, right. And that's the age of the big
video directors.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Right.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Hype Williams and the guys that cut the check videos.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, right, right. You feel me?

Speaker 3 (22:15):
And so I'm like, bro, can you just take time
to get all my guys that have been waiting to
get in this video?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Can we just knock that out right quick? Just a
quick cameo with a pose. You know, just a quick
little woo-woo. They say, nah, we're going to get it
at the end of the night. And I'm arguing with
these motherfuckers. At the end of the night, it's like
too late. People got to go.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
You know what I'm saying? So that's what happened with that.
And there's many people that was there that was rappers,
a lot of rappers, and they don't.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Be saying shit. They'll be like, yeah, 40 was up.
He was there.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
And it make me think, because I've been winning for
a long time. So I've been speaking my mind lately.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Quite possibly the longest. The longest. Yeah. One of the
longest running, you know, runs in hip-hop history.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
No, it's like you and Too Short. Like, quite literally,
in terms of the longest run.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
In hip-hop. I mean, LL Cool.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
J's not an active artist like that. Like, he put
out a cool album two years ago. But, like, LL
is dropping, like, once a decade now.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
He the one, the first one that came with the
term cool. But outside of LL. So I'm going to
stay out of that one.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
No, no, but I'm saying, like, I feel like consistently
dropping music. It's you and Too Short.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Like, I'm very consistent. We're very consistent.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Shout out to Ice-T, too, who just put a new
album out.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Great product.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Salute to Ice-T.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
You know, we grew up on a lot of that stuff.
You know what I mean? And Cube.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Shout out to Cube.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Definitely. And Snoopy Dogg, all of us.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
I think about the 80s.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, the 80s. I was in the 80s. Yeah, for sure.
For sure.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
You know, so I just trip off that, man. But,
you know, staying consistent. You know what I'm saying? And
when you've been winning for.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
So long, bruh.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
It's like, don't try to compete with a motherfucker that
you can't compete with.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
I'm a different breed. I'm a different, I'm rare. I'm
very rare. I'm like one of them ones, like not
trying to brag, but I've been to the point where
I speak my mind now. Because if I don't tell
my story, ain't nobody else going to tell it. 100%, man.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3 (24:05):
So if you can help me rewind, because I'll be
having so much to say. If you can help me
rewind what the main question was on this one right here.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
That'd be great.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Well, we started talking about the click, and then I
brought up, I just said, like, when did you kind
of notice sonically kind of the streets, you know, going
to the more up-tempo.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I like that. Going dumb. So everybody was. Bro, everything
wasn't Even Mac Dre, his shit wasn't always up-tempo. No,
it used to be Like the No, that's kind of
his last era. Right, but that up-tempo shit.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Came from Rick Rock and all them, and Tracks Millions.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Tracks Millions. You feel me? Shout to Rick Rock, man.
Because I'll tell you, when we did the song Hyphy, which.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
I don't know who coined it, whether it's Mac Dre
or Keke the Sneak.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
They say Keke the Sneak. I think Keke takes... And
that's fine. I never, never said any of that.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
And I want to let motherfuckers know, because they say,
he didn't start, he wasn't on that movement until Mac
Dre died.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
You little suckers, you bitch-ass motherfuckers. Stop, bro. Stop.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
The song hyphy was already out when that man was
living right it was out he never said anything about
it hyphy was a big record that started a movement
what brought mt mtv uh my.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Block to the to the bay area right.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
That song was sick and guess it was on the
motherfucking hook and had a verse on there e40 stop
playing with me man you know i mean um i want.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
To talk uh obviously you've talked to at length about
your relationship with Tupac. You guys got a couple of classics.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Wait, let me say this. Yeah. Sorry. And it came
out in 2003. Yeah. Hyphy. The song Hyphy came out
in 2003. I was featured on there. The Federation featuring E-40.
I'm on there.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Hyphy.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Make them nosy neighbors want to call it. Hyphy. I mean,
sparked a whole big ass thing. movement in the federation
man you feel shout out to the federation but the
beat i was in there actually with rick rock when
the beat was made because i make a and i'm
the one who turned.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
To put the you know i'm saying because rick rock
is one of them producers where he keeps it where
i can a composer because my i'm a producer too
And my producer name is Benjamin Blackperson. So Rick Rock
is so open-minded that he let me, you know.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
What I'm saying?

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Benjamin Blackperson.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I produced a song on my new album.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
No, that's great.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Me and Cocaine.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's called On Top. Shout out to Cocaine, man.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
You feel me? So anyway, I'm going to let you
finish up.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
No, I was going to ask you, man. Obviously, you
had a great relationship with Pac, who was on your
first album.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah. I mean, I'm sure your first major.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Major distribution. Your first jive release.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yeah, my first.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Your first nationally distributed project.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
There you go. You know, recently, Keefie D got found
guilty yesterday of the murder. I was just curious, like,
do you feel like that brings any closure to the situation?
It's been so many years, like.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, I think it'll never bring any closure because we
lost the goat.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
We lost the goat. Gone way before... before he was
supposed to go.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Family-wise, I know that ain't going to bring closure, but
it might give some, like you said.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
I ain't followed the case like that.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
There's so many things all over the place. I just
know my guy gone, but what gives closure to me
is he didn't die instantly.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
He fought, and he had time to repent, and I
know him. He repented. And that man is an angel
right now. He's in heaven. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all
I got to say.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Richie Rich said he was the guy who was just
like he would be out all the time. They'd always
be sharing girls. He was like, you don't understand. He
was like the life of the party in the Bay.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
He's like, people.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Come to town.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
A Bay motherfucker to the fullest.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
You know, he learned his game from the Bay.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
100%.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
You feel me? He Bay area for sure. You know
what I'm saying? Yeah. And, you know, real player. You
know what I mean? Real player about it. And we
miss him, man. We lost one of them ones, man.
You know?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, Dusted and Disgusted is definitely an all-time 40 record
in terms of just if you look at your catalog.
I mean, you got so much. It's a top 20, 30,
40 record.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
It's definitely up in there.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's up in there.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
He came with it. He came with it. You feel me?

Speaker 1 (28:35):
For you, man, you had such a great relationship with
P and No Limit. I feel like there was a
lot of synergy in terms of the independent thing. But
then I also know you had such a great relationship
with the Cash Money guys and Birdman, who also, I guess,
after you had your deal publicized, they had their massive

(28:56):
deal that they did with Universal. Talk about your guys' synergy,
because all the Cash Money guys were on your albums,
and Birdman's been on your shit. What was that synergy
like where you guys kind of just gelled?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Well, I was on my Hall of Game tour in 1996.
I'm in New Orleans.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
I'm at the radio station early in the morning, hella early.
And I walk in there. I think I'm either leaving out.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
After the interview or I was walking in.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
But there was two people, and it was Birdman, Beatrice,
before they called him Birdman.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
He's like, man, fall it, whoop, whoop, whoop, man, love, respect,
you know, because he a real one. Yeah, of course.
And he showed me nothing but love and respect, you know.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
And he said, this is my brother Slim, Slim hella tall.
You know, we exchanged numbers, and from there, history was made.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
So moving forward, you know, I was the first one,
I was the first rapper.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
That I know of To get on. Because, you know,
Cash Money, they had such a big clique.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
They had hot boys.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, they were featuring each other all the time.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
That's it. They wasn't rocking with anybody.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
It was like a Cash Money artist featuring three other
Cash Money artists.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
That's it. Nobody else. Right. Nobody else.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Just all Cash Money. I was the first one when
we did Baller.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Blockin'. Oh, great, great soundtrack.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Right?

Speaker 3 (30:13):
They flew me out the whole world. I mean, you know,
we kick it heavy. That's why we all, you know, Juvie,
that's my boy. All of us are so BG. I
got nothing.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
But love and respect because we had great times together.
You know what I'm saying? Birdman, he flew me out.
We did Baller.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Blockin'. And I think I'm almost 1,000% certain that I
was the first rapper featured on a Cash Money record
album or single that featured outside of their click then
check gang so they come to Bosco Conte Bosco do

(30:51):
all the slaps for me you know doing slaps for
me due to you know he got the electro spit
you know device that he when y'all seen.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Him on on the tiny.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
Desk he was had to load he was playing with
his he had it on his phone and he was
you know saying he used that's his device that he
actually made up and it's really a phenomenal device for
the talk box.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah. So he, at that time, he was using.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
The OG talk box with the tube and everything. So anyway,
he was, anyway, he, that song was produced by him.
It was called Look At Me. And we used Rodney
O and Joe Cooley.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Which we, you know, which obviously Future just did with
Kendrick and that broke the game for us.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
And guess what my hook was? What was it? It's
like that. It's like that. Look at me. It's like that.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Crazy.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
It was called Look At Me, right? But that was
the hook.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
I wonder if Metro Boomin heard that and like consciously, like,
I don't know, like, If.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
It was, that's okay with me.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
No, that's cool.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Because, you know, a lot of them cats grew up
on me. I'm not saying he did, but I know that,
you know what I'm saying, you can find interviews with,
you know, Future showing me love.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
In real life. He's a big hip-hop head, too. People
that they grew up on, you know what I'm saying?
And I love it, man. I mean, your favorite rappers
grew up listening to a lot of my soil shit,
the Federal album. Federal, you know what I mean? Federal,
the mailman. You understand? In a major way. We can
go down and dirty. We can go all the way
back to the late 80s. You feel me? Let's side.

(32:33):
You feel me? So anyway, so we go to, we
do that. We do the song. I mean, we got everybody.
We got Lil Wayne, all of us at Bosco House.
We're at Bosco House in LA. Crazy. And we do
the Look At Me record. You feel me? So y'all
do y'all streams.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
That's on Charlie Hustle, right?

Speaker 2 (32:50):
That was on Charlie Hustle, the blueprint.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
1999. 1999.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
You feel me? Yeah, we did our job, man.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
And, you know, so I feel I feel like they
never rapped on anybody else's album or song besides their own.

Speaker 1 (33:04):

Demi part of the culture. You feel me?

Speaker 3 (37:04):
So just, you know, all, all these artists that, that
you know of a lot of them, their parents grew up,
you know, listening to us.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Cause we, we have that age now. Yeah. And, um,
You know, and the artists just show a lot of love.
I'm glad I got Peezy on the album, you know.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Shout out to Peezy. Shout out to Babytron. Shout out
to them boys in Flint going crazy, RMC, Mike.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Shout out to Dej Love. Dej Love.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
She used to tell me her dad turned on his
prank on me, T-Grizzly. He put me on the phone
when his mom came from the pen. He said, I'm
going to call you. I'm going to FaceTime you because
mom's home. And he FaceTimed me, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Hey, how you doing? It was my first time.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
But she grew up on my music, you know what
I'm saying? So, you know what I mean? It's a
lot of them. We rock with Detroit sincerely, like sincerely.
So Big Sean, you know, he knew about me growing up,
his family and the whatnot. And so I met him
in Sacramento at 102.5.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
KSFM.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah, yeah, KSFM at their woo-wop. And we exchanged numbers.
And then we did the remix to We In This.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Thing, Bruh.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
We In This Thing, Bruh.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
We In This Thing, Bruh. We In This Thing, Bruh. Right?
There you go.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
And he gassed it, right? So I stayed in contact
with him. I'm the type of person, if I like you,
I love you, you know what I'm saying? So I
just hit him one day just out of nowhere, just
like We In This New Deal.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
I'm on one, you know what I mean? I'm drinking.
I'm in the orange room. He just so happened to
pick up on the first ring. Oh, gee. Man, that's
crazy you called me. I got one for us. I
got one. But, oh, gee, this got to be one
of them ones. You got to come with the dopest
verse you ever did in your life. I said, well,

(38:51):
what shit was in it?

Speaker 3 (38:52):
So he sent that thing through. I took a few hours,
maybe about three, four hours, maybe four. Knocked that thing out.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Sent it back to him. It was so gassy. But
when he sent it to me, we knew it was
out of here.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
I had Cousin Feek in the studio with me. I
had my cousin Work Baby. We in there, we going crazy.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Oh my God, this is out of here. The hook
was already made. Everything was done. All I had to
do was fill out the application.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
That's beautiful. Was the Kanye intro on it already or
did you hear that later?

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Not yet.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Yeah so then he get the song um um so
big shine get the song when we sit the back
and then you know when i say uh got a
blunt my dinner blowing hemp and a rental yeah i'm
away he came with uh Everything that I do is
my first name.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
You know, he readjusted his, and that's what great artists do. Yeah.
Just a little bit.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
He already had the same rest, but he just readjusted,
and that's what great artists do so we can make
the song.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
A huge song.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Yeah, no, that's crazy. And that was Donnie.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Then Kanye.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Then Kanye.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Then he sent it in for some reason. No, no,
he was plugged with Kanye. I think he was with him.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
He was signed to good music.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
He was signed to it, yeah. So Kanye went in there,
and that man went in there and did some.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Such a great great intro genius you feel me and
then out of a sudden this crazy record and we
out of here like.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
This bro it's like um i always say there's like
There's all-time white rap songs where if you go to
a white wedding, they're going to play it. Yeah. And
that's in the.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Right.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
That's that and Blow the Whistle and Flo Rida's Low.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Blow the Whistle was so damn timeless.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
I mean, a lot of people don't even know that
I had so many blaps up in Stankonia's studio at
that time.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Shout out to Atlanta. Shout out to Stankonia's studio. Shout
out to Chris Carmouche. Shout out to Lil Jon and
all them. You know what I'm saying? BME. Man, Lil Jon,
he was just on a roll.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
And he sent me. He pulled it up and said, here,
what about this one?

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Guess what it was?

Speaker 1 (41:01):
The blow the whistle beat?

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
So did you cut something to it?

Speaker 2 (41:04):
No. You passed on the blow the whistle beat? Two days.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I tried to see what I can do with it.
All it had was the beep, beep, beep. It just
had the listen, listen, don't get mad at me.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Beep, beep, beep. It had the whistle in there.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
It took a genius like Todd Shaw, my ninja, to
go in there and just make it a very simple,
blow the whistle.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
I didn't know what the fuck to do with a whistle.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3 (41:32):
This dude, man, for real, man, I love that dude, man.
He's such a genius, and he's a great guy. Uh,
because you know, you gotta understand he's musically inclined too.
He's one of them guys that played in the band too.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
He played the drums too in high school, junior high,
that type stuff, you know? So we know music, you know?
And so, man, that man went in there and kicked
his feet and he did a great job. I don't
think I would have been able to do it. I
don't think it would have been. It wouldn't have been
what it was. It wouldn't have been what it was.
And that's just the way the world works. That's how God,
God made it. And we made, I made 10 when
to go. He made that at the same time, them

(42:06):
two songs. Anywhere you play them, they're going crazy. It's
the Kobe and Shaq of the Bay Area shit. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
I want to know, though, it speaks to Lil Jon's
genius that a guy from Atlanta produced the two biggest
Bay Area rap songs ever.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
He produced Tell Me When To Go. He produced Blow
The Whistle.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
He did. But you know what's bigger than both of them?

Speaker 1 (42:28):
What?

Speaker 2 (42:28):
That he produced?

Speaker 1 (42:30):
What?

Speaker 3 (42:31):
UNF booty, almost three times platinum. It's like 2.8 written out.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Do your illumination.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
You know what's crazy?

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Do your illuminate investigation, gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
No, I believe you.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Record execs, all y'all that see this interview, look at
the illuminate numbers and you'll see.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
But I think culturally, like I know Tell Me When
To Go barely just went platinum.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
But like culturally, those two records are like some stuff,
you know, SoundScan can't tell the story of Tell.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Me When To Go. Absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
It's like Ye Area. The Ye Area record is like
a record that it don't matter, I don't know how
much it's sold, it's probably gold, but you can't speak
to how important of a song that is.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
It is very true.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
And that's just how music goes, and that's how the
culture goes. You're absolutely right about that. But I was
tripping off that, because UNF Booty, that's a trip.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Almost three times like this.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
No, that's crazy. Three times platinum, UNF Booty. Shout out
to T-Pain.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Oh, man. Can I tell you about T-Pain?

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Oh, I mean, please. He's one of the best guys.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
T-Pain is one of the rawest talents of all time.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
I love that dude, man.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
I hate when people try to box him in like, yo,
without Auto-Tune, he's still a fucking alien who could sing
like an angel.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Well, so, see, you know. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
So, that gives me the opportunity to tell you how
it went when we did UNX.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Yeah. Right?

Speaker 3 (43:50):
So, I'm in this new deal. I got Al Capone
with me. Al Capone from Memphis, Tennessee. He was signed
to me. He did the Whoop That Trick shit, right?

Speaker 2 (44:00):
People don't know that. He did the Whoop That Trick.
Whoop That Trick.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
He got an Oscar, too.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Yeah, he got one.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
I know. Shout out to our brothers from Triple Six Mafia.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
But also, Al Capone got an.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Oscar, too. Al Capone is legendary. He was legendary before
I signed him. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3 (44:15):
And so, you know, he was in this studio with me.
John did this beat.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
So we like this beat is vicious it's it's out
of here.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
If we can get the right thing so a dude
named maurice was in there with us too and maurice
had just had did the interview for t-pain with t-pain
so al capone.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
But before before maurice.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Said that al capone said man let's get t-pain because
he's not overused and he's on his way up the
ladder and this that and the third Maurice say, I
got a line on him.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Can y'all stop all that noise, please? Thank you so much.
Come on, cool nuts. Y'all fucking up my shit.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Why you emptying out the bag so loudly?

Speaker 2 (45:01):
This is important shit I'm doing. Whoever it is over there,
that motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Portland always fucking everything up.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
That's the P, the P? The P, come on, the P.
You know better than that. You're too player. So look,
so what I did, so Al Capone was like, let's
get T-Pain. Let's get T-Pain.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
And Maurice was like, I think it's Maurice was like, man,
I just did an interview with him.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
I got a line on it. So he calling. Right.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Not the easiest guy to get on the phone. I'm
sure that's right.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Cause he's. It just so happened. He said, man.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
So I think we call, I don't know. John called him.
It might've been John. John, one of us called him.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
We was like, he came down there. As soon as
he walked in the studio, he just so happened to
be in Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Cause he lived out there. He walked in the studio.
I greet him, shake his hand. He said, what's up, Fonzarelli?

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Right. I never knew he knew, you know.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Yeah, he was like hip to the movement.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
You never know.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
He called me Fonzarelli. Anytime somebody called me Fonzarelli, do
you know.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
They old school?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
They're tapped in. Right. So he came in there, played
the beat. We played the beat. He went in the
vocal booth, killed it. Shake that stick in the movie,
trying to get to you. I'm talking about no out
of tune, no nothing. And it was already dope.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
Jesus.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
It was already dope. It was already dope. You feel me?
So he didn't even need the auto-tune.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Yeah. No, he don't.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
He didn't even need it.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
So then he was like, he just knew that was
his little get-up at that time. So he was like,
put the auto-tune on it. But the man sings his
ass off. He's truly talented and a great writer and producer.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
You feel me? You have worked with a lot of
East Coast artists. You had a record with Sauce Money
and Fat Joe Get Breaded.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Sauce Money and Fat Joe.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
You know too much, bro. Sauce Money was on Rockefeller.
He was one of the early Jay-Z affiliated artists. I
don't know if he was officially signed to Rockefeller, but
they were very.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Much in the beginning together.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
You and Hov never worked together officially. Did it ever
almost happen? I feel like eventually it's got to happen.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
You know, I love Hov.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
I got nothing but love for him. He's a You know,
he's from my area. I think he's from my area.
He's only like a couple of years younger than me. And,
you know, I like people that don't be in bullshit
and don't be trying to spark up controversy and try to, you.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Know, troll and all that. He play with his family.
You know what I mean? I like that kind of shit, man.
Of course.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Come from the motherfucking octagon. You know what I mean?
From the trenches and the quicksand. And he's a billionaire. And,
you know, even before he was a billionaire, I always
had love and respect for him. But, you know, I
tried to sin. I got at Jay Brown when I
had choices. Everybody got choices.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
By the way, Sink Monster, congrats on all that. I
see the commercials, and I'm just like, God damn.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Come on. They just re-upped. Chipotle just re-upped.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Shout out to Chipotle. God bless them.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Come on. And I'm like, man, I'm like, can I
send this to him?

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Because it's going up. And, you know, he was like, well,
Jay Brown got back at me. It was like, you know,
he ain't going to be able to do it. And
I'm like, oh, okay. I know he's busy and stuff. So,
you know, I'm a player. I don't be tripping. And
I ain't no grudging nothing. But I don't even know
if Jay really got it to him.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Right. You know, because, you know, maybe he looked at
it like, man, he busy right now.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
He ain't really in that mode. Maybe Jay, you know,
as a manager, he probably, you know, kind of like,
You know what I'm saying? What they call that shit, gatekeep.
I feel like.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
That be happening a lot. That happens a lot. You
damn near got to see Hov Courtside and be like,
we overdue. You know, I was doing this interview with
Boulay Kev, and he said it's crazy that we never
worked together.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Right.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
And it can't be embarrassing because I'm already locked into
the hip-hop legacy.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Yeah. I ain't local. I'm global. I'm not just no little.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
A lot of these new cats don't even understand. I've
been around since Dinosaur Urine. So I'm not just like,
you know, West Coast. I'm everywhere like air.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
You feel me?

Speaker 1 (49:10):
For you, I wonder, you know, when you have somebody
like Drake, who's the biggest artist in hip-hop, statistically, of course,
continually paying homage to the Bay, it's got to be dope.
Is that, you know, because obviously he just took Too
Hard for the Radio, went number one in two formats.
Chata Pila, who was just here, who helped co-produce that.

(49:31):
What are your thoughts just on, like, Dre and his
love for the Bay and how it feels like he
pays it back a lot? You know, whatever people want
to say about Drake, obviously.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
I think a lot of people got love for the Bay.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
As they should.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
You know, I think a lot of people got love
for the Bay. A lot of people took a lot
of things from the Bay Area.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Yeah. Not just me.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
A lot of slang, a lot of fashion. Hey, the
broads in the Bay, they gamed up. See, in the Bay,
they gamed up. The broads, you know what I'm saying?
They get a motherfucker sprung.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Yeah. They get out of town and sprung. They got game.
And they be gaming them up on slang and, you know,
how we carry ourselves and the whole woo-wop.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
The Bay Area women, believe it or not, they're spreading
Bay Area culture.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Yeah. One NFL and rapper at a time. Right? They
very sharp.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
One NBA player and rapper at a time.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
They very sharp and they gamed up, you know, and
they're everywhere. Like, yeah, they all over the place like space.
You feel me?

Speaker 3 (50:34):
So, you know, hey, man, you know the– it spreads,
you know, it spreads. I, I, you know, I feel like, um, um,
when you, when you so gamed up, you know, it's
going to spread that situation right there. You know, I just,
you know, yeah, I'm, you know, he grew up on,

(50:56):
he grew up on Bay music.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
A lot of people grew up on Bay music. So,
you know, like that.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Yeah. That makes sense. Can you speak to your relationship
with tech? Because I remember seeing you and Tech N9ne
in Vegas in 2011, 12, 10? When was that tour?

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Oh, was that the one with me, Kendrick? It was
House of Blues.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Yeah, Kendrick was on the tour.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Was G Malone on the tour? Yeah, Glass and Malone,
DJ Head, all of those.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Legendary tour in retrospect, right?

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Oh, for sure. Fast forward. J-Rock. Yeah, J-Rock.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
That was when J-Rock had just dropped his album on
Strange Music.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Well, yeah. Just right. And Kendrick was, like, right there
as his protege. Yeah. And that's what I love about them.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
On the bus, just hanging.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
He was right there. You know what I'm saying? Just
a dude just observing things. Young man that was cool
as hell. You know, him and, you know, mixed by Ali.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Ali was there.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Ali would record me on things. Because I had a
portable studio on that tour.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
So... We had just good times, you know, just in
the studio. Me and J-Rock got songs on the tuck
that nobody know. I got to pull them things up.
This was like two or three of them. J-Rock was
always in there with me. During that tour, we had
a good time. Tech N9ne.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Tech N9ne is a trip because Tech N9ne is like
my cousin. Because he's on the family tree.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
So you guys are actually related?

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Him and King. Not King. Him and Sway. Sway in
the morning.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Sway Calloway. Everybody's related somewhere.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
On the tree.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
This is not a lie.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
This is the family tree of the, you understand me,
of the whole, not just me.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
But our whole... When did.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
You guys figure that out?

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Because our... I got a cousin named Chris out of
Kansas City. Okay.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
And he showed us the tree. And then my mama...
And everybody started putting it together.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Like, oh, shit.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
Yeah, that's such and such. You know how they do it.
You feel me? And so I was like, damn, this
is crazy. I got cousins in Dallas.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
The fact that you and Tech Nines related is crazy.
You guys just went on tour again, too.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Right, right. Yeah, we did. And I loved it because.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
It was a challenge for me because I wanted to
reintroduce myself to, you know, certain regions and whatnot. You know,
people are like, you finna get on a bus, really.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
And just hit these cities and grind. I say, yep,
I'm a hustler. You feel me?

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Well, it's like, because you go from, like, you could
do the arena thing one day, right?

Speaker 2 (53:27):
Right.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
And then you go do the small venue. Like, it's just,
it's like, it's a testament to your work ethic. You
know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Absolutely. Every fan matters.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
Yeah, and you know, and so it's a trip because
30 days can go by so quick.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, you'll be like, damn,
it's the first. I got to pay these bills again. Right.
You feel me? Electricity or whatever it is. Right. I
was like, I'm going to treat it like that. In
my frame of mind, my mom always told me back,
you know what I'm saying, when I first started, just
take one day at a time. Just take one day
at a time. And that's what I did. And we

(54:00):
pulled it off. You know what I'm saying? We had
a great team. All of us was in sync. And
we just did our job.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Um, I, I was talking with short and he was like, look,
there's like a whole other Mount Westmore album that like
exists that obviously every, I mean, you guys just did
a show on Phoenix that I saw was crazy, but
talk to me like, what is this other Mount Westmore
project sound like? Because I felt like you and short
had a lot of influence on the production on what
we ended up hearing. Absolutely. It was a lot of,

(54:32):
a lot of Bay area flavor production wise. What is the, Because,
I mean, listen, we're talking about four of the greatest
rappers of all time. Fuck the West Coast shit.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Throw that out. Yeah, for sure. Come on.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
So what does the unreleased album sound like? And are
you guys kicking the can around?

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Blappin'. Well, it's not outdated. None of that, bro. It's
already blapped. Like, you know, we all make each other great.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Yeah.
