Join us for an unforgettable episode of Club Shay Shay as Shannon Sharpe sits down with the one and only Gillie Da Kid! A Philly legend, hip-hop icon, media personality, and die-hard Eagles fan, Gillie brings his signature energy, humor, and wisdom to the show in a conversation packed with passion, inspiration, and plenty of laughs.

Gillie reflects on his journey from rapper to respected entrepreneur, sharing how he and his cousin Wallo built Million Dollaz Worth of Game into one of the hottest podcasts in the game. He dives into his deep-rooted love for the Philadelphia Eagles, detailing what it meant for him to run out of the tunnel with the team and the emotional rush of representing his city on that level. From his relationships with Nick Sirianni, Jeffrey Lurie, and Howie Roseman to his viral Sports livestream, Gillie breaks down why sports unite people like nothing else and how Philly's energy is different when the Eagles are winning.

Plus, Gillie hilariously recalls his pregame rituals—including dancing to "Candy" by Cameo and "Blow the Whistle" by Too Short—to hype up the fans and troll opposing teams. With stories about movie roles with Ving Rhames, Philly’s underdog mentality, and the sacrifices he’s made to get where he is today, this episode is filled with raw, unfiltered motivation. Whether you’re a fan of hip-hop, football, or just great storytelling, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss!

Speaker 5 (02:30):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
No, Gilly, I'm gonna be pra a warning. We are
recording this before the game. Yes, Saturday. The game is Sunday.
This is going to air Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
So boy, I sure hope y'all do that thing because
if you don't, they're gonna tear you up in the comments. Yeah,
but you know you're saying this. You know, you know
if my sister had a pin that she would have
been my brother. Un Fortunately she was my sister.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
All right, So check this out. The Eagles are undefeated.
When you run out of the tunnel with the team,
yes they are. Are you running out on? Say, I
haven't gotten that call.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
You ain't got that call yet.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I ain't get that call when you first ran out
the tunnel and you're bringing the team out and seventy
thousand fans and you feel that rush. How did it
come about? How did that happen? And what is that
rush like when you run out there with that team
with the.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Team, well, you know like a lot of people just
really getting on. But to me, but if you last
year when we was in the playoffs. We wasn't playing
that good. I got the call from the team to
come down to the locker room last year. It is
all over the internet where I went down last year
and talked to the team before the playoffs. So I
have a relationship with the Eagles with you know, with

(03:47):
Nick Sirianni best coach in the league, with Jeffrey Lorie.
Shout out to Jeffrey's son, the whole family, the best
owner in the league. Shout out to Howyrt Roseman, the
best GM in the league. And Big Dom, right, Big
Doms my guy. So when I was doing what I
was doing all year with my Chilly on sports live
stream and they just kept winning and every week they

(04:09):
had to see me dance, Big Dom figured who else
is better to bring them out the tunnel than Gilly?
What does that mean? You're born, you're raised in Philly.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
What does that mean for a Philly kid to bring
the hometown team out of the tunnel and have all
those fans cheering.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
I mean it means everything to me because you know,
since I can remember in my life, I only missed
three Eagle games. Really yeah, one of them was a
blackout game. We ain't selling enough tickets. In two of
the games, I was in the Dominican Republic with Vin
Grahams filming a movie. So to me, it's like, you know,
we come from a poor city man. When the Eagles win,

(04:48):
the morale in the city is better. It is when
the Eagles lose, the morale is down. You think about
all your problems. There's no escape. The Eagles is an escape,
you know what I mean? When I ran out the
tunnel with him, and uh, the funniest shi it is,
I run out the tunnel and uh, I dropped down

(05:09):
to the ground. I started doing the Brian talk. You
the wolf ring, y'all hit the wolf ring, get up,
let's go. I run to the front of the line
there about to announced that the players now, and I'm with,
you know some of the players that run out first.
And I turn around. I look at Kenny Gainwell and
the tears come down.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
My face and I say, I love this ship.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
And Kenny looked at me like, you know you not playing?
Can you not playing with the you do? Then they
announced the players about them, all the players running out
of Then we run over to the sideline and the

(05:58):
National Anthemist playing and that shit's bawling down my face
to the point they got to the end of the
song because I just had to have a conversation with myself.
I said, what the are you doing? Get it together?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
You not fork got caught up in there about You're
like you about to go to in a sweet.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
You not tackling nobody, You're not getting no receptions, Chill out,
And I just had to wipe my face and be like,
in my mind, I'm just talking to myself. I'm like, you're.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Tripping all season long for the game.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
You play cameos, candy before the games, after the game,
blow the Whistle too Short?

Speaker 3 (06:37):
How did you?

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I mean, were obviously were you a cameo fan or
too short fan? How do you come up with the
songs that you started wearing? Candy by cameo blow the
Whistle too Short?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
At the end, Well, blow the Whistle has always been
one of my favorites. That's your anthem, Yes, that's you know,
that's just a song. That's a great vibe. And I
picked just like Candy because I was letting the other
teams know, y'all sweet, you know what I mean? So
whoever we playing that week, the Jaints just like can day,
oh see, and your wow, y'all sweet were gonna whoop

(07:09):

So you know tomorrow will be first thing in the morning,
Kansas City Chiefs just like can day. We got something
for y'all.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
But you dancing, you dance an electric slide to ya yall?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
So I mean, what's going on when you like you're
doing this and you're getting in your you get because
it seems like that's your routine. Like players at players athletes,
we have a routine and that we go through and
we feel that if we go through this routine, everything's
gonna be okay. Do you feel like if you don't
do that routine everything to the tea, something might go.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Wrong with you? Right the hell? Yeah? Even my broom
got that flew out. Bring that broom, don't bring no
other brooms.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
So you just couldn't buy a room down here.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I can't. Why would we do that when we undefeated?
With him walking out with that broom, You better bring
that dirty little broom you got from the house that's
coming to the super Bowl with us.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
We hit your slid. Let me see, let me see
the slide.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
What you got wait you know first seas from first

the sake of argument, Yes, A j Brown scores a
touchdown and he hits that.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
He's an all time legend. He's going down in an
all time the Hall of Fame of Legends.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
I saw where you say any racism in Philly when
you're a neighbor Jake Broomeman Swain is in your videos.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
So how long have you known Jake?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Well, we moved into the neighborhood, right. Oh, that's our
studio house. Okay, that's like our office where we work
out as a content house. So when we first moved in,
you know, Jake used to sit on the porch, older guy,
so you know it would just be like, you know,
just keep it moving, and.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
So he's like the mayor and do the right thing.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, he just sit there. Okay, Okay, So you know
I'm pulling up in different car. I might be in
my nineteen forty one one day, I might be in
my seventy four Chevy. I might be in my eighty
nine Chevy. I might be in a Beamer. I might
be in a BMW truck. Wilos in a Lamborghini. He's
in a Porsche, He's in his Maybag, he in his
sixty three bands, he and his Thenali truck. In the

(09:42):
course of a month, he's seen us pull up in
like twelve different cars. So one day and then we
get packages delivered every day from different sponsors. So one
day I'm sitting there and I'm saying, I said to myself,
I say, cuz if I was a neighbor on this,
I would think we were selling drugs. Yeah, so I said,

(10:05):
let me go introduce myself to because when we pull up,
we see them. They out there like fox going on.
He come here every day in different cars and.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Just chill and don't say anything.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Right, So I want to introduce myself. No, this is
who I am. And I said, because I probably figured
you guys probably thought we were selling drugs, and Jake said,
we definitely thought you guys were. So when Jake and
seventy five said that, oh you my guy, you're my
guy because you kept it really you didn't try to

(10:37):
sugar coat you. Let us know the whole block. But
what you guys were selling drugs, we couldn't believe the
cars you were pulling up in. So now he knows
who we are. The block is comfortable. I'm gifting the
block gifts on holidays. I don't celebrate the holidays. And
then Jake just so happened to walk over while I
was dancing one day.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Say, sports, how and why does sports bring people together
like nothing else?

Speaker 2 (11:05):

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Why is sports? You know?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Because I hear I've never lived in Philly anything. But
I hear everybody says Philly fans, they're so passionate about
the Eagles, about the about the Phillies, about the seventy
six was about there? What makes the Philly fan base
so ravenous about their teams?

Speaker 3 (12:46):
This to be all the way honest with you, we
just a rude city, be a bunch of it was
the mob, a bunch of Jurkos idiots, me and we
and we really take pride in being idiots, like we
don't give a You come to Philly and you lose,

(13:10):
walking out that stadium is going to be the one
of the roughest rides you had if you got on
another team's jersey.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Wow, may y'all already won the game with a little
stall of out. Man, Let them go about their business.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Our mentality is you thought you were going to win? Yeah?
Why they can't.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
That's what makes us idiots explain Philly to people that's
never been to Philly. But you know it's it's you, guys,
booz sant, who boot the man bringing presence? Who booz pant?

Speaker 3 (13:44):
He didn't bring the right present? He was in the
Super Bowl, y'all? Boot Ben Simmons shit, can y'all do
that to be Ben because he didn't bring the right presence.
He was impressive looking at them stat sheets, right, eight
rebounds and seven points.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
That's bad, that's horrible. How the Eagles brought the city
together this year.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
I mean it's brought the whole city together, the whole area.
And I just don't want to say Philly because Delaware.
A lot of Delaware's Eagle fans, a lot of South
Jersey is Eagle fans. So it was brought to trial
state area together. I mean, we've just been we've just
been kicking ass man.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Have you thought about what happens if you guys don't win?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
No?

Speaker 5 (14:33):
Did you go to the.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Last Super Bowl when they played? When they play Kansas
City was right there. And let me ask you a question.
When you ever was playing in the Super Bowl, did
you think about not winning?

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Nah?

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Did you think about.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
But I could impact the game?

Speaker 3 (14:45):
You can't harready impact. So if you you got to understand,
I don't run them out of the out of the
locker room during the Super Bowl and we lose, they
gonna bad, They're gonna see it's because Kelly didn't run
them out of the locker room because the one thing
Nick said to me, Nick say, I need the greatest

(15:05):
coach in the league right now.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
He said, you're three, and now.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
He understands or the superstiti my energy is different. Yeah,
and I'm used to routine. So every time they brought
me in their locker room, it's the same thing. The
coach come up first, love you coach, he walk out,
Then the players come up, and then I lose my mind.

(15:30):
Were playing for the be playing for the name on
the front of that jersey, in the back of that jersey,
and then I call out certain players. Your family watching
what you're gonna do. You know, your girlfriend watching, man,
what you're gonna do. Your mother's watching what you're gonna do.
Good players has made during the regular season, Legends is
made in the playoffs. Who gonna be legendary to day?

(15:54):
We're playing for the name that's on the front of
that jersey, in the back of that jersey. But who
I'm gonna make the name on the back of that
jersey somebody today. That's what I need to know. Be
playing Philadelphia football today. That's smart, tough, fast and physical.
Everybody to the ball. By the time we leave out
their locker room. They ready, they run through the walk,

(16:15):
They're ready. You gotta understand. I walked in the locker
room and jail and Cardiff was like this at his
locker room. He was one of the last people out
of the locker room, and Connor Barroom walked me in
and he didn't even know who was talking to him,
and I said, it's not a planet Earth that can
block you. He turned around and seeing it was messed out.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
I don't give up.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
If they brought an alien down from Morris Center and Pluto,
he can't block you. You understand what I'm saying. He said,
I got you og. The minute we walked out their
locker room. Conder Barber said, you just got the team
of sack today. And that kid had a few sacks.
So the motivation is different.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
You get the call, I don't know who call you,
whether it's Big Dog, I'm I don't know if it's
Nick sil Yanni And they said, Gilly, you're gonna run
them out today the Super Bowl, one hundred million people watching,
everybody in Philly's watching.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
What would that? What would that?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
It's one thing to run them out in the regular
season or the postseason. It's something entirely different because they
chronicle these games super Bowl fifty nine, the Eagles and
the Chiefs and Gilly wallall call you the mascot.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
But you know, you know that's cool.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
What would that moment mean to the Philly kid that
grew up and watched all these Eagles games and he's
running the team out in Super Bowl fifty nine onto
the field to do battle.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
The biggest thing would have been getting me there to
the Super Bowl because the minute I get that call
might pass the out.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Boom clear, Hello, this is the outfit that you normally
wear when you run out there?

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Absolutely what you how you going? How you wearing enough? No,
this is a regular VIC jersey right here?

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Is that an authentic big jersey? Or that's the one
that is.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Authentic, the one I got, says Mike Gilvick on it.
It's a little different. It's a little different. Now you
got Michael VICKI you got Mike Gilvick, Right, it's a
little different.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Hold on, you said, I saw where uh gave Wallow
Wallo Say, look, man, I ain't really no fan.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
I'm a fan of the team that's winning. So if
you win it, I'm your boy. You lose it. I
ain't got no type of if you start.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
If I root for you and you start to lose,
I'm gonna find you another team. Squa said, man, I
come on, wallow bag, you bad wagon hoppit right?

Speaker 3 (18:40):
And you know what's so crazy? This Saquon first year
here and he knew that he've been here for eleven games.
Shrugg you like the Eagles. Now. He was so thrown
off that Sequon city. He was like, how you know that? Like, yeah,
like you've been talking. Togain had to let him know.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Man, man, you're sixers man, Yes, Gilly, I mean y'all
brought in Maxie is still playing out of his mind.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yes, Jordan Beiid has been nicked.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I mean he played in the Olympics and then the
knee messed up again and so he missed the time
y'all signed pg and that hadn't worked out like you
guys thought it would.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
What's going on with your seventy sixers? Bro? What I
mean sugar coat? Nah?

Speaker 5 (19:25):
We don't sugar coat nothing here.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
This ain't no ben ye Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
I feel like he made some wrong decisions. One with
signing PG row decision. I mean until you proved me wrong.
You know, would you would you prefer to keep Tobias? No,
because at the end of the day, Tobias was under

(19:50):
so much scrutiny it was gonna be hard for him
to play for the Sixers anyway, you know what I mean. So,
but what PG has come and brought to the t
so far, it don't look like we got our money's.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Worth, you know what I mean. Yes, it's like.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Looking like you're having trouble beating people off the dribble.
Everybody's staying in front of you. You're taking a bunch
of contested shots. Everything is contested. So I don't know,
but I know he's coming off of injury too, right,
So I'm hoping hopefully that he can get back to,
you know what I mean, where he was. But as
of right now, you know, it don't look good. And

(20:29):
as of right now for Joe Elmb it don't look
good as well. Because you played the whole summer with
the USA team and.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
You was nick going into the playoffs last year. Why
would you do.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
I didn't hear about you missing no practices. I didn't
hear about you missing nothing that had to do with
the USA team. So don't tell me you're gonna get out.
Then you're gonna tap dance for the USA team and
gold medal. But when it comes to the Philadelphia seventy
six is you played four hundred and twenty one games
and get missed four hundred and four. Think about that?

(21:05):
So you feel in some type of way about it. See,
I'm about a person. I'm about being reliable. The one
thing you can't say. You can say you're a great player.
You can say when you're on the court, you're unstoppable,
you can say it MVP worthy every year. But the
one thing you can't say is you reliable.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
You still trust the process?

Speaker 3 (21:30):
I've been Stop trusting the process, you know what I mean?
I think we missed. At a certain point, you gotta
say we might need to go with a different process. Wow,
when you got three MAX players that's supposed to be
superstars and only one of them performing, and we got
like were like twelfth in the East Man, how can.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
I trust the process?

Speaker 1 (21:55):
We saw Luca get traded? Yes, would you be okay?
How would you feel that the seventy six ers move
Joel and b.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
I mean, at this point, I think I'm speaking for
every sixer fans. We wouldn't have no we couldn't feel
no type of way because, like I said, when you
go at games played versus games not played, its damn
near equal. So we get to see you on the
court just as much as we get to see you

(22:24):
off the court. There's no difference. So at the end
of the day, it's like it's to the point where
you we never know if you gonna play or not.
Who want a player like that. I'm the biggest Joel
and B fan ever. I go on all these podcasts
and I let everybody know nobody could be nobody. He

(22:49):
was averaging thirty five points last year. But then the
games that's played.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
So do you believe the opportunity to pass you back
because you had a couple of years that Ben Simmons
was there and he was an All Star. Ben was
playing at an All Star well, he was an All
Star All India defensive player. Joel Embiid, I mean it's
always been he's kind of nicked at the most inopportunity
at the wrong time, and.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
So he's kind of limping into the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Do you feel that you guys have missed that opportunity
you had the Hawks down three to one and you
let them come all the way back. Gilly, do you
feel your opportunity to pass you by now?

Speaker 3 (23:28):
I mean I feel like with this team right now,
our opportunity is whether Joel Embiid is healthy or whether
he's not healthy.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
That's what it all comes down to.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
If we get a Joel Embiid that's healthy, we can
beat anybody. But the problem is he's never healthy. Yes,
and you don't get healthier as you get older, right, needs,
get a little tender feet, get tender, help me get
all the fucked up.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
You caught a lot of flat because you had Lebron
ranked over the Philly kids.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Rest is soul, Kobe? Yes, you still feel Lebron is
a better player than Kobe. Yes, I feel like if
Lebron James is the best player we ever seen in
the world, if we never seen Michael Jordan play, So you.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Got Jordan ranked over Lebron, that's the only player that
you've got over Lebron.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Yes, Okay, let me just ask you this question. Right,
If me and you both came in the league at
eighteen and I averaged twenty at eighteen, and you averaged
six point seven and I averaged more assist than you,

(24:42):
more rebounds than you. I'm the fastest player of the
ten thy fifteen, twenty, twenty five, thirty thirty five, the
fastest player. We came in the league at the same time.
How could you be better than me? We all we
both got the chips. Matter of fact, you wasn't even

(25:04):
the best player on your team at one time. I
never walked into a locker room and wasn't the best
player on my team at I got drafted number one.
I went to a team that won thirteen games. Do
you think that these grown ass men in this locker
room thought this eighteen year old kid was gonna come
in there and make a difference. They didn't know, But

(25:25):
I did, because the next year we won thirty something games.
So what do we talk Not taking anything away from
Kobe's greatness, but what are we talking about? This kid
had the most pressure on him out of anybody in
their history of the game. Front of Sports illustrated tenth

(25:48):
grade chosen one. They said, he can play in the
league right now when the tenth grade everybody's like, what
he probably could havebe. Bryant backed up Eddie Jones at
one time Lebron James wouldn't have backed Eddie Jones up
in eleventh grade. And Eddie is my man, Yes, but

(26:12):
Lebron James is different. Think about that. Yeah, he came
into the league as an eighteen year old kid and
probably was the eighth heaviest person in the league, but
probably was the fastest person in the league. So it's
not taking anything away from Kobe. But Kobe used to

(26:34):
go to an NBA locker room and put a Robin
uniform on. Shaq was batman. Lebron never showed up and
put a Robin uniform on in any locker room. Ever.
That's the difference.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Mm hmm, Dirk J Cole, Breezy, Quavo, two Chain, game Master,
p Davies, Cameron, and Mace.

Speaker 3 (29:43):

No Breeze, he's good too, but no, no, no, no, no,
no no no. The person I'm putting number one NL
chopper really yeah, he can really play. You know, Ali

(30:06):

twenty seven. He manchined me bucket for bucket.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
He yell, you ain't got no gilly.

Speaker 3 (30:47):

you're too little at no, no, no athletic jump can shoot.

big thing.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
Every time Briddie scored, you're right, do that right there.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
But what you gotta understand, if me and Jamal Crawford play,
or me and Briannie played one on one, right, I'm
forty eight years old. Right, if they beat me fifteen
or nine, I won you let somebody's grandfather score nine

(34:52):
times on you.

Speaker 5 (34:53):

You're all gonna do it. Back you down and post
you up.

If you wouldn't let you play in the Big Three,
you play the Big.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Three, playing the Big Three, but you won't let me
because you gotta understand. Think about this, right, I played
three Big Three games, right? Every game I hit a

I'm telling them handle this. You know this going straight
to Instagram. We're doing this live. We not doing no
filming where we gotta edit shit. I don't need to
edit shit. I get five, six, seven buckets in a row.

(36:49):
Step your ass up, and then you gotta deal with
the mouth. That's the thing they can deal with.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Oh so you're gonna try to talk about their game. No,
that's what I do. That's what I do to step up.
Oh you didn't step up. But see Briani, you ain't
even be getting that shot out. You see Bridni throwing
folks stuff out of there.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
I got a jump shot and he did it right there.
I know how to get them right. Young Kobe d skills.
Briannie is the Brannie is the truth. He's going to
develop into a great play. But the things I could
teach him. It would have celebrated process. That's all I'm saying.
But you did get a basketball scholarships. Yeah, what happened?

(37:33):
To wallow tell you what I have?

Speaker 5 (37:35):
Nah, Wallowey, tell me what happened. I got you here?

Where you said that. What happens? It's like I know
some details, and well, I was a young, reckless kid
becaase you didn't like you. Nah, the coach love me.
Shout out to coach Zeke loved me. And during the summertime,
I had got into something of an arm robbery type

(38:04):
of situation. That's something like, so, I'm like, because I
changed my life, brother, Yeah, okay, I'm trying to make
it look good. And you up like I got spots
and ship you know so, and I'm trying to make
you know. But sponsors in the stand that I changed

(38:25):
my you dead, we're talking about them there thirty years ago,
you know what I mean? Yes, and uh rest in
piece to Alan Bunch. You know what I mean. Was
a kid that was with me that lost his life
and I got kicked out of college and uh that's

(38:47):
when rapping started.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
And uh, if you got that skill though, Gilly, you
had a skill, you got a scholarship to play basketball.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
How would you get jammed doing an arm rock? No,
I'm in college.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
I know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
I'm actually in my sophomore year. Yes, but you got
to understand you growing up in the ghetto, right, Yes,
and I didn't. Me and my mom didn't really have
the best relationship when I was younger. So I moved
out of my mom house at seventeen years old. I
never been back. I'm forty eight years old, you feel

(39:23):
what I'm saying. So I had an apartment off of campus.
I would go to I went to school, and the
assumption was that I had family members that looked out that.
You know that, because I would leave come home. I
would give a whilow who was my little cousin. We
would go do some crazy shit and then I go

(39:45):
back up to the school. But I had an apartment
off campus, so I would come home, go back up
to school. Oh, go play basketball tournaments. My schoolwork never
was a problem, Go home, go back up to school.
So when this happened, they had me on the front
of the daily news. It said Cabrini basketball star lived

(40:07):
this double life. Damn. And then it talked about how
I went to college. I was productive, I was on
a team I started as a freshman. But then it
also talked about how I got caught up in some
jacket vote right, so I got kicked out of college.
And then it was a little rough.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
Do you remember you remember the day that you.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
August twenty second, nineteen ninety six, the day my homie
got killed during an arm robbery. Rest in peace, Allen Bunch,
Love you, brother. I always would represent you. Shout out
to his mother because one of the hardest days of
my life was going to his funeral. Because he was
a kid that went to college with me, and he

(40:56):
was he didn't come from that shit, And I told
him what it was that I did. He didn't even
believe the ship. But then as he started hanging with
me during the summertime, he got involved with me.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
He wanted to go and then you know, one thing
led to another.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
Yeah, so shout out to Alan Bunch. You also ran
track too, Yeah, so you do you play football? Nah?

Speaker 5 (44:13):
Man, you and Coach Prime, good friend.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Yes, you and Wallow, you guys were down there when
he took off the Jackson State. You guys were really
the Perston layups. Yes, that showed up on the scene,
showed lust game. First game, you got Coach Prime.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
I knew Coach Prime for for a minute.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Man. You know, Coach is a really good guy, you
know what I mean as far as speaking to him,
you know, and Coach is somebody that I could call
and get some games, you know what I mean. And uh,
when he told us he was going to Jackson State,
he was like, Coach, we in. You know, we're gonna
come down there and we're gonna we're gonna put some
light on this ship and we're gonna really help you,

(44:56):
you know what I mean. The program, the program now
it was up y'all off, y'all win or not. But
the light we could bring is you know, it's a
different type of light. And Coach was really you know,
your perceptive of that, like, let's do it. And then
they won, you know, and then they won the second year,
and then it made it even better because Travis decided

(45:19):
to go. So now you got a big name coming Shdorf.
He could have want the Alabama could have won here.
He said, I'm gonna go play for my dad. So
now you got some big names that's coming. That's also
drawing some attention. You got us and you got coach Brown.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
There's a situation. You guys are there. Guy scores a touchdown.
You're running down the sideline with him. He gets in
the end zone, he hands you the ball. You in
the end zone, you spike it. What the are you thinking?

Speaker 3 (45:47):
I wasn't.

Speaker 5 (45:49):
But you're like, you ain't got no head of the
should up.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
But listen, but if you look at the video, they say, Killy,
you just gotta stand behind the white. Yeah, if you
look at that video, Coach Prime said it. He said,
Gilly's behind the white. I ran the whole sideline, go Nesh,
let's go, because you know, I know these kids him
in the locker room, I'm dancing with him. I'm hyping
him up. Before the game. I ran the whole sideline

(46:12):
with him, but I was behind the white. I got
to the end zone, he threw me the ball. I
was like, now, when Tom Brady gave his offensive line
in the ball. Tom Brady at the game, they at
the game Gilly for a minute. I was in the game,

(46:32):
and Coach Prime said, in Gilly's defense, why would you
throw him? Like, what was he supposed to do? He
running down, he's taping you up, and did you give
him the ball penalty on the bench. I'm like, that's me.

Speaker 5 (46:55):
The only thing that made it worse. If you threw
the ball in the stands.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Why why they would have made it?

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Man, you can't throw that. Ain't an NFL game. You
have seen somebody kind of throw the ball at the
same Yeah, I did not have it. I have it exactly.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
See. I don't even know all the rules, you know what.
I was so into the game that they threw a penalty.
I didn't even know the flag was on me or nothing.
I'm walking up the sideline, I'm charging your widow's head
and there was nothing about sports. He was like, cuz,
I don't think you're supposed to do that shit, And
then did all common sense hit me. I was like,

(47:31):
personal file. I was like, that was the first time.
The first game I never went in the locker room
doing halftime. I was like, I'm staying on the field
with the cheerleaders and ship. I ain't going to the locker.
Where would you want to see your door go?

Speaker 5 (47:51):
What thing?

Speaker 2 (47:53):
I would want to see your door go to the Titans,
Number one.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Overall, number one overall no noise Titans, Lacey, you don't
have none of the noise. But I also believe that
wherever it's your door goes, he's good. Because you got
to understand. If I'm a GM and I'm drafting the quarterback,
I gotta say to myself, this kid's been through a
lot more than every other kid in the draft because

(48:21):
he always had to live up to be in Dion
Sand the sun, so he always had the spotlight on
him and all he did was produce. When he went
to Jackson State, they said he was at a black college.
Then he went to the worst FBS school in college football,
which was Colorado. At the time, there was the worst

(48:41):
FBS school in football Division one football, And two years
later they're ranked in the top twenty five. So that
shows you that he won in high school four state championships.
He went to college, they said, oh, he's at a
black school. He couldn't do that if he was here.

(49:02):
Then he went to a school that wasn't that good
and took them to greatness took them to something to
whereas though now it's an attraction that you actually want
to go to Colorado because they got Julian Newman now.
And that's a that's a product of Coach Prime. Yep,
his coaches, Doors Sanders, Travis Hunter, and the way that

(49:25):
Coach Prime treats his players.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
You got an opportunity to see Trat when he went
to Jackson State. He followed time to see you an
opportunity to see him up close and to watch what
he turned himself into. We knew he had the potential,
but to see last year that Heisman and you got
you went to a lot of games.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
What is it like?

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Explain to people that had never that's never seen Trap
play in person?

Speaker 3 (49:48):
What is it like?

Speaker 2 (49:50):
First of all, it's like.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
It's kind of strange because Travis outside off the football
field is just the nicest kid. He what's up man? Hey?
You know, but then when he stepped on the field,
it's like a light. It's just like a switch go
on and he's a total different person. Don't throw that

(50:19):
shit over here?

Speaker 5 (50:20):
And you're like, who there?

Speaker 3 (50:23):
What the fuck? Like that's the same kid? Like because
he's so nice and you don't even think I wouldn't
even think that he even like even had that like
mentality to talk. But when he step on that field,
it's like it's just like a total different dog. So

(50:43):
and you you really be like, Okay, he really takes
this shit serious because he's two different people. When he's
off the field, he's calm, he's laid back, he's the
nicest he and then he stepped on the field and
it's like, I wish you would try me throw that
shit over if you want, And it's like he get it.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Yeah, you've been mad for twenty seven years when you
met your wife.

Speaker 5 (51:12):
How did you know she was the one? Or do
you know.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
I'm still trying to figure that shit out now. Look
at my daughters in right then, So you see if I.

Speaker 5 (51:23):
Do, I'm not to say I would tell Mama.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
No, you know, you really don't know if somebody is
the one, because you know, every day is a different challenge.
But after we got you know, some time, man and
years in and she was just so different, raised so
different from how I was raised, you know what I mean.

(51:49):
I never sat down at the table and had dinner
with the family, and.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
They did that every day.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
You know what I mean, sat down at the table,
had dinner, talk to about the day, what she did today,
And my mom worked two jobs and like I was
like home, like making beans and hot dogs for my
little sisters and shit. So it was just totally different,
and she brought a whole different perspective on life to me.

(52:18):
You know what I mean. I was a kid coming
up straight out the street carrying guns. She's like, you
gotta take a gun to my mom house. I don't
go anywhere without my guns.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
I'd rather be caught with it than without it.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
I'd rather be judged by six and judged by twelve
than carried by six. Only ghetto shit the ship. That
didn't make no sense. Now there you sit back. He
was like, what was I I'm at the dinner table
with her parents. Like, how you guys doing gun on
my hip? Like parents are gonna do something? I should
hold ghetto analogies. That didn't make any sense. I would

(52:56):
rather be judged by twelve than carried by six. I
would rather be a lion for a dating a sheep
for a thousand years. No, I would rather be a
sheep for a thousand But the ghetto trains you to
think some of the most dumbest shit you can ever like.

(53:19):
And I also say growing to a ninety five percent
white college was some of the best shit I ever
did in my life because they took a kid straight
out the ghetto who the white man was to blame
for everything. Let's just be for real, white man, Ricky up.
Ricky ran in the bank with a gun. But growing

(53:43):
up in the ghetto, it's not that, oh man. They
just white man gave Ricky thirty raheen twelve years. They
ain't shit raheen spistol to be the build in broad daylight.
They robbed them. So me going to an all white college,
it opened my mind up because I got up there

(54:06):
and I understood that you got some really good white folks,
how you guys that ain't shit That was like, what
is this doing on campus? But you also had some
white folks that would them up if they said that shit.
And it just opened my mind up to a different
perspective of life and even how to operate and be

(54:28):
yourself around whoever. You feel what I'm saying. So when
I finally started doing deals and I was able to
operate around whoever, I was able to be myself around whoever,
it didn't matter. And because I was in every environment
and if you never actually put me in that environment,

(54:48):
never know I would you feel what I'm saying. I
got black friends right now that if I take him
in an all white room, he told about how you doing. Uh,
I'm Jamal. I'm like, I thought you was bulleted. I
didn't even know your name was Jamal. You've been bulleted
here old now you're here with you just switched up.

(55:09):
You have switched up on me.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
So to know you have someone, because it hasn't always
been you haven't always been this gilly say that like
by the last decade, there's been some trials and tribulations.
There's been some ups and down. But to know you
gotta ride or die in your corner.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
I mean, that's everything you gotta understand. She went to
jail with me. How you had the old leady go
to jail? I was she Actually she took me to jail.
She was the one selling the weed. I want to
tell the story, but yeah, she went to jail with me,
and we had a thing called the nebula here. Whereas

(55:49):
though you can't bail out from the first, you gotta
be locked up from three to ten take from three
to ten days for your nebula hearing to come through,
And it just so happened ours came through on the
tenth day, and she wrote me a letter from one
jail to the next and said, Babe, don't be over
there stressing. I'm okay over here, I'm back and these

(56:09):
bitches off. And I thought that was the funniest ship
because I'm gonna keeping way way my woman. Look, I'm
like the over here.

Speaker 7 (56:18):
Yeah they did, somebody got some good jam.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
But she wrote me that letter. I was like, was
that the moment you knew? No, I hadn't do it
before that ship. She had to be locked up, And
right now you're trying to get me in trouble.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
You know what I'm saying. You know she'd have won. Yeah,
but she wasn't enough to make you stop doing that foolishness.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
Well, she was liking the Louie.

Speaker 8 (56:50):
Bags, ye know what I mean. You like you like
the lights, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (57:05):
But uh, that was when it changed my life, because
I said, that's when I really you always had a
relationship with God. But I said, if I get out
of this situation, you ain't never ever got to worry
about me ever. You done being in your way ever again?
Or the police way ever again.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
What was your first impression when you met her? When
you fail for the first time. I don't know where
you met her, when he was in the mall or
you walking?

Speaker 3 (57:28):
You got understand when I walked up on her right?

Speaker 5 (57:30):
You know what? How you doing? Okay again? Okay, we're
gonna go back thirty years ago.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Of our facetiming right now. She'll tell you. I smelled
her hair. Yeah, you weird. No, that should have get
your case now. But I said, I was like, I said,
you got all this long gas, pretty hair. I said,
you don't need no Paul Mitchell products or nothing. I
bet you when you run, your ship bounced, don't it.

(57:56):
She had never heard no ship like that in her life.
She was like this crazy, Yeah I am. And you
know the one thing that good girls like crazy. She's
been a part of my life ever since. You gotta understand.

(58:17):
I used to have to go pick her up from
the corner of her block because she didn't want her
parents to see me. And then I just got it
to her. I said, listen, nothing is enough. I ain't
picking you up from the corner. No more, I'm a
grown ass man. I was like, twenty one grown ass
man doing that shit. You gotta understand. She told me

(58:40):
her dad was black, and her mind was Korean bro.
Looking at my woman, I thought it's gonna be this
little light skinned, curly head with pretty eyes.

Speaker 5 (58:54):
That darker than you.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Pulled up and she was like, that's my dad on
the porch. I was like, the extra crispy, that dark
motherfucker right, this is your dad. She was like yes.
I felt so comfortable after that. That was it. I
was like, he's a nig that's a that's a field nigga.

(59:30):
I was like, yes, what I met her dad? Her
uncle was said, I knew my uncle. He was like,
you want something to drink? They was out there with
the yeah you want to drink? I said, yeah, I
take a drink. What you said? I like you. I
don't trust people that don't drink. I was like, damn.

(59:51):
That's when I also realized the littles was a bunch
of alcohol. But whole family loved me. Man, Mom loved me,
and I love the family and Bill. We've just been
together for so long. It's my twenty two year old
daughter sitting right there, twenty five year old son.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
So we've just been together.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
Father. Man, it's a beautiful thing when you know that
you truly got somebody that, you know what i mean,
really got your back.

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
What if you tried to instill in your daughter about dating.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
She's a dating age now, guys, you find that it's
different if you ain't have no bread. They see her
like trying new young lady. Dad got some paper, How
can we get some of it? What you tell your
daughter about it made me kill.

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
You done, gave you that life up, you know, made
me kill somebody, made me go to prison. Now I'll
play it. I'm just tell her you know that, you
know for the most importantly, you know what I mean,
just makes you always being respectful to yourself, you know
what I mean. She was raised right, so she understands,
you know what I mean. What's the dudes and the don'ts?

Speaker 5 (01:01:10):
She see you the relationship that you have with the mom.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
Right, so that that's a perfect example of what you
know what I'm saying, right, Yeah, you me and your mom.
We have ups and downs, just any relationship. We have arguments.
We have the arguments is only reminded of the motherfuckers
how much you love them? Right? You know what I mean?
You gotta you got a relationship that's too quiet, something

(01:01:33):
at right, you know what I mean. Sometimes you gotta
argue just to get the fly your set. You gotta
argue just to make up. Hey close years.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Kevin Hart's from phil You got a relationship with Kate Hart.
Y'all be joking that guy. I can imagine what tomorrow
is going to be like.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
Yes, if y'all have when we win, when the Eagles win,
when we win, you and k Hart gonna be all
one on Oh what me? Kevin Hart, Meek Mills, Stephen Fowen,
four time champion two week division. He's over there in
the house at Club Shasha. So man, whole Philly gonna
turn up. Man, I'll tell you one thing. When we win,

(01:02:19):
they think I was dancing before, Shit called me DM
goddamn dancing machine.

Speaker 5 (01:02:27):
What what is ka? Because you see yourself, you see
Gaile and Meek.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
We're gonna talk about making a little bit in his
reform and what he's trying to do to reform a
prison reform and and guy's in probation.

Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
Talked to Wallow what is what is Kay Hart?

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
To see his story, to see where he came from Philly,
just like you a Philly kid.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
No, you gotta understand me and Kevin Hart from the
same neighborhood. Really just Kevin Hart used to live above
a guy that was in my rap group ad Lava
Major Figures, So he lived on the bottom floor and
keV lived above them. Wow, like Kevin is from me,

(01:03:05):
from the same neighborhood. So to see him make it
out and I make it out, and meet make it
out and Freeway make it out. And man coming from Philly, Man,
that shit is rough. You gotta understand. I got five

(01:03:26):
main homies, all of us been shot. Think about that.
It's like a surprise when you haven't been shot in Philly.
It's like, oh, you haven't been shot, you lucky man.
So when you come up in a rough environment like that,

(01:03:46):
two years ago we had damn near seven hundred murders,
think about that. Wow, that's two dying a day during
gun violence. Imagine how many people is getting shot because
most people that get shot don't die. Imagine how many
people is getting shot in Philadelphia. So when you able
to come about there in the type of environment and

(01:04:10):
make something out of yourself when the whole everything is
against you to fail. I gotta be proud of keV
I gotta be proud of me. I gotta be proud
of certain individuals because it's like pro you special. You're
one of the ones God wrapped his arms around me.

(01:04:33):
You know how many people in Philadelphia will cut their
finger off to be in Kevin Hart position, to be
in my position, to be in Wallow position, Meet Midle position,
Freeway position, and a few others. Jill Scott Eve, you know,
cool boy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
So when you come about those gutters, man is rough man.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
If you can make anything out of yourself, you always
got to applaud that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
Shit you mentioned Meet and you watch you see Meet
with freestyle in the Philly streets. And now he's one
of the biggest rappers in the game. And he's trying
to do a lot with his life. Learned a lot,
been through a lot. You see he's trying to do
with prison reform and probation and parole. What's it been like,
like you said, to see guys that come from the
environment in which I came from.

Speaker 5 (01:05:23):
And I know what it's like because I lived in
that jungle.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
I lived that environment and to make it out and
to make something. What's it like to see people that
grew up in a very similar situation as Gilly and
to be where they are now.

Speaker 3 (01:05:37):
You got understand, I'm at Meek when he was probably
like eighteen years old and we've been cool ever since then.
So to understand to what's most impressive is the growth.
You know what I mean? Because you've seen a kid
that just had wrong talent. He didn't give up about
nothing but rappit. If Gilly ain't got the studio, meet

(01:05:59):
one of be in there, because they all came to
a studio that I named that me and my partner
developed called the bat Cave. Okay, and it was good
because you can go right to the back cave. You
could record your songs, rug, mix you down, and send
your shit right to the radio right there. So when
I see me coming, he rawl and he the one

(01:06:22):
thing that that kid had that a lot other people
didn't have. He had real hustle. He wanted that shit,
so it would be like rug whatever time Gilly don't got,
because Gilly books the studio while two months no, I
want to body coming through there. From twelve o'clock in

(01:06:44):
the morning, in the afternoon, at twelve o'clock at night,
Mick would say, Okay, I want to come in there
from twelve o'clock at night to eight in the morning. Wow,
it would really be hustling like that. So that's the
reason why he's in the space that he's in. That's
the reason why when you look up, he got all

(01:07:06):
the cars, he got the mansions out of ben thee
three of his mansions, he got the he's really doing
shit at an elite level because his hustle is at
an elite level.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
What are your thoughts when you see all the hate
that he receives on social media? You see someone that came,
like you mentioned, came from the environment which he came
from having the success, the success that he's had trying
to do things for our community, and it seems like
our community body men.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
The black always put she see I'm the og So
anytime Googley will tell you, anytime they going through, I'm
the one that reach out and I'm the one that
push it into perspective for you because I'm older, so
I've seen a lot more life and I've been through
a lot more shit, So I'm able to push it
to a perspective for you, and I say, you're listening

(01:07:55):
in the Instagram meet or are you listening to that
twenty two thousand people? You just performed it? Because I
just seen you perform in front of twenty two thousand
people and they was damn near falling out the raptors,
So obviously they not the best on Instagram talking shit.
It's easy to talk shit on Instagram. You could be

(01:08:16):
a sixteen year old kid in Nova Scotia. Shay Shay,
you ain't shit you. It's easy to talk shit on Instagram.
For me, I've never seen somebody's post and been enthused
to talk shit to somebody because my life is doing good.
If I got a negative comment about you, it's just
in my mind. Man, I'm a crazy man. But for

(01:08:36):
me to actually type that shit on Instagram, that's letting
me know that life got you on the button Necker
Russian head lock. It's kicking your ass because I don't
think about if I thought something negative. It's just funny
to me. Yo, man, I'm a funny man. You be crazy, man.
I'm not typing that on Instagram because you don't or

(01:08:57):
a person don't concern me enough that I would take
time to write a negative something about somebody on social media.
That's taking too much time out of my life. I
got real ship going on. I have an energy drink
that's the official sports drink of the Philadelphia seventy six
ers in the Chicago sky PERREI few hold away, I'll.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Break dance on your tongue.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
You know you know what I mean. So for me,
I got too much shit going on to concern myself
with writing a negative comment about somebody. You know what
I mean. It's it's just not in my I don't
understand that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):

on where everybody could go get their own money on
a solo thing. Then we're gonna do the group together.
Jay and Dame came back with the offer. I didn't
like the offer. I thought it was a slave deal.
I thought we would have to sell a catrillion records
to make some money. So I turned it down. And
that was the situation.

had a mic, he plays some beats. We say anything,
we busting out laughing. Then one day we was like,
we're gonna write something. I wrote a rap. We came back,
I recorded it. They never They was like, yo, you
never thought about rapping. I'm saying. I'm saying shit like this,

(01:17:10):
misstop playing. I ain't another ass rapping man. Fuck as
you're talking about me, and stop playing man. Because I
didn't look at rapping as being a cool thing. I
just looked at it as just some funthing to do. Right.
And then when I come home that summer, that's when
the robbery happened. That's when I get kicked out of college.
And that one rap that I had was better than

(01:17:33):
anybody that I came across who had a thousand raps. Wow,
my one rap was better than any rap that they could.
You gotta understand. I had four songs out. The fourth
song I ever made was number one on the Countdown
on Power ninety nine in Philadelphia, the biggest radio station.

Speaker 9 (01:17:56):
So they're like the number two song, Destiny's Child, and
then they're like number one and I got I got
a bidding war between every record label, Death, Champ, Priority, Allenic.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
Tony Draper didn't come on to the end, and I
might got twelve raps, literally like, I went to the studio.
The song was called Love for Gilly. I went to
the studio and I was like, what I'm gonna rap about?
And the guy was like, Marcus Graham, who is my

(01:18:31):
manager at the time, said well, he wasn't really my
manager because he just was somebody that was just rolling
what he said, make a song about what you got
loved for, make a song about what you don't got
love for. And I was like, Okay, that's cool. This
is nineteen ninety six and I just wanted a studio
and I'm like, I got love for Thug and Thug, Missus, Marijuana, Smoke,

(01:18:55):
Mo Pappas and don Zippers drug dealers, credit card counterfeit us,
locked up in all of my broke. I got love
for wild parties and wild bodies, sweaters by money, kill
us like John Gotti, bad women in short dressers with
huge bresses, the buggy yard bens with the triple headresses.
It's my time to shine. You know I'm going blind.

(01:19:16):
And Gilly got loved for other baby moms. And what
if heating on little Gilly was a crime. It be
no men left here. They all get the death chair
in the top three. But I might be the best
head low Rugby Timberlin's in My Guests where this is
nineteen ninety six. I don't even know how to rap.
Put it, motherfucker, said, said, Go in the booth and

(01:19:37):
write a song about what you got loved for and
what you don't got loved for. Okay, that's easy. I
know what I got loved for what I don't got
love for, and then that song is number one on account.
So when you got there was a ball MJG. You
Rockey boy, MJG. Was there, Ross was there? Ain't was

(01:20:00):
tough line at the time, Yes, damn.

Speaker 1 (01:20:04):
Then you signed with cash money, got in the band
for two a k right, yep, but you never released
a song.

Speaker 3 (01:20:10):
Why Because this is how I got signed with Cash Money.
It was a show at the First at the First
Union side. I think it's called the Wells Fargan right,
and I was supposed to perform. Rockefeller was performing at
the time. Me and Beanie and Rockefeller, Beanie Siegel are

(01:20:33):
clicking his click at went through something, so Rockefeller made
the call and got it meet off the off the show.
Baby heard about that and was coming a few weeks
later and put me on the Cash Money Show.

Speaker 2 (01:20:52):
When I came out, they watching.

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
When I'm walking off the stage, Baby say say, bruh,
if you want to come to Cash Money, I got
ask for your brother. At the time, I was in
a contract. I was still was in a contract with
Tony Draper. But Tony Draper, like I said, he was
like my brother. He was like a old debreak.

Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
Gave me the game.

Speaker 3 (01:21:19):
So I called him. I said, yo, man, I'm trying
to do this, go on this one, and he said
all right. If that's the situation. He was in breach
of contract, so I could have just left right, but
he was so real to me that I said, you
know what this is what I'm gonna do. I know
how bad they want me, I'm gonna get them to
pay you as well as give me an advance to

(01:21:42):
get me out of the deal. And that's what happened.
So then they wanted me, so they re up and
did the deal. After we did the deal, they wanted
my publishing. But the number they was trying to get
me for my publishing and the number that I was
asking for it was two different things.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
So they never was able.

Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
But to get my publishing, we talking about a record
label that owned everything.

Speaker 5 (01:22:08):
So he was like, nah, I can't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:22:10):
No, And so if they got everybody else's publishing on
the label, and it's like I'm coming in. I'm from Philly.
Now you can't get my unpublishing. So it's like, Okay,
put him on the back bone. He gonna break, but
I'm not gonna break.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
So what is publishing? That means you own? Yes, so
you own the record for yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:22:31):
If so, if you write a record, you get a
percentage of the record. Okay, if you don't own a publishing,
you don't get no percentage of the record. So if
this record plays for twenty years, thirty years, they make
money for thirty years and you get none nothing. So

(01:22:52):
they didn't want you to have anything. They didn't want
you to have.

Speaker 5 (01:22:56):
The publishing.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
They wanted you to give up your entire right to
the publishing nothing. Yeah, yeah, you did it right, You
did it right by that? What what what have you
learned or what did you learn or how have you
learned about the music industry?

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
I learned that all of that ship is fake, really, yes,
all of it. That's why I don't go to no
parties because all of it is fake. All of it
is a bunch of fluff. All this is a bunch
of drunks lying to each other. Now we're gonna get

want to stay in my own world, smoke my weed
and make my content and keep kicking your glasses. That's

(01:25:34):
what I like to do.

Speaker 5 (01:25:37):
The beef with you and hand with Wayne? How did
that come to bout it?

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
It was never no beef. It was just a misunderstanding.
He disrespected me on the record. I responded, that was all.
I got a lot of love for Wayne. Shout out
to him. Man, y'all cool now, Yeah, I'm cool with everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:25:53):
Don't seem like you're cool with everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:25:54):
Oh yeah, I don't have no issues with anybody. I
just I'm forty eight years old. I ain't got now,
I ain't got time for the dumb shit, and I
ain't got time for trying to trick a nigga out
of position to make your brain look good. Okay, forty
eight years old, Man, I got I got, I got
kids that graduated college. Man, were trying to do great things. Man,

(01:26:17):
I ain't I got grandkids.

Speaker 1 (01:26:19):
Man, that's the second time in three days I heard
somebody say that. Masterpiece said that on our live show
the other night. He said, Man, you gotta be careful
because people are trying to trick you out of your position.

Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
Absolutely, so, I don't want to come kick it with nobody.
I like to stay in my world because I understand
one thing. Who seven years back one trying to kick
it with me. Come on, mane now I developed the lane.
God said, you never gave up. These had you doing

(01:26:51):
security at ross right now point. So the irregular polo
ts you never gave up. Now understand that all the
money for years, guess what they is burnt the out.
I gotta recharge your fresh pack of six pack of
deep batteries in my back. I'm gonna run these in

(01:27:13):
the you me yes, in the whole. And I told
you before, I'm coming to buy a couple of year masters.

Speaker 5 (01:27:25):
You ain't gonna do it like that craziest ship.

Speaker 3 (01:27:27):
I'm coming to. They're gonna get paid, But my family
gonna eat off you for the rest of your existence
and even when you ain't even here. That's my goal
in life. It's too I gotta buy their masters. You're
gonna do you feel some type of way? Huh No,
they gonna get a shipload of money, but they want

(01:27:49):
to own your life for the forever. I don't want
your kids to eat off this ship. I want my
kids to eat off this ship because you didn't want
to see me. So it's even exchange. He ain't no robber.
You're getting a shipload of money. Man, I'll do some
Michael Jackson, say, how what you want for that shit?
Off of them?

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
Ten more million than what he won?

Speaker 3 (01:28:10):
Wow, get the masters.

Speaker 5 (01:28:14):
Let me ask your question.

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
Yeah, the cash money model, the bird Man, I mean
he had them all. Yes, I mean he had the
rap game. There was a stretch for about a decade. Yes,
he cornered the market.

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
Let me tell you what I admire about bird Man,
and everybody know, I don't really with him like that,
but I'm real his hustle, Okay, I ain't no gonna
un hustle. He gonna hustle. See that's the that's what
That's what people don't understand. They think, Oh, you got
to be the smartest person here. You gotta head. No,

(01:28:48):
you gotta do is hustle. And when God think that
door show open for you, gonna open it for you. Right,
So nobody is you gotta understand. I wasn't around cash
money for four years. Man. We used to wait up,
go to the studio, hustle all day, leave, go to
the club, leave the club at two o'clock and go
back to the studio and be there at eight in
the morning, and then wake up at one and we

(01:29:09):
right back in the studio. So the one thing I
did understand from cash money, and I did learn from
cash money is that you got to hustle different if
you really want to win out here.

Speaker 5 (01:29:19):
So if you want to be different, you got to
hustle them.

Speaker 3 (01:29:21):
Absolutely. But what to ask you this, gilly? You can
help me, because why is it that all?

Speaker 1 (01:29:26):
But when when you get money, people always think you
did something seed where you the illuminati or you you?
You you are what the gatekeeping? Oh here's an overnight success.
But nobody sees, nobody cares to know the grind or
see the grind. All they see is the success and
think and think it happened overnight, And I get that.

(01:29:47):
I get upset because, like, hold on, what about the
ten years I was on CDs? What about the seven
years I was on Fox?

Speaker 5 (01:29:53):
So how's that? If that's seventeen years, how's it overnight?

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
What you see is overnight. I saw the seventeen year grind.

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
Absolutely, and that's how it is for me. You got
to understand what million dollars worth of game I was
giving out me? And I was worth a game in
twenty twelve, while those didn't come home to twenty seventeen.
So every day I would wake up and get a
youth game. Let me give y'all, and I was worth
a game even when it was the videos was fifteen seconds.
I would give them something they could hold on to.

Speaker 1 (01:30:18):
You'll give a million dollar of a game when it's
only five dollars, right, Why did you come up with
that name?

Speaker 5 (01:30:25):
Me and all with a game?

Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
Well? Always that was always one of my sayings, Like
it's a video of me Meek in a black de
Niro in the studio in two thousand and nine, and
I said, I give to me, and I was worth
a game for free. Y'all, Just don't be listening I
got an album called Million Dollars Worth a game that
I dropped in twenty fifteen. So that's always been one

(01:30:47):
of my sayings because I always felt like I'd be
given the game and they don't be listening, you know
what I mean. And so when I decided to get
a youth game, I said, man, let me give them
some game, whereas though they could it's rolling that cup,
but they'd be able to digest it. Right.

Speaker 1 (01:31:04):
This concludes the first half of my conversation. Part two
is also posted and you can access it to whichever
podcast platform you just listen to Part one on. Just
simply go back to Club Shay profile and I'll see
