Speaker 2 (00:17):
You feel like the Stellers came up, don't you care? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, yeah, oh I got the legend in the bill.
A hold, oh y'all we got the legend in the bill. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh my god, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
No no no my West Coast O G, West Coast O. G.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What's going on? Baby? How you're doing? Warrant G? But
you man, man, not much bro chilling talking a little football? Yeah,
I can do. You say you feel like the Stillers,
you feel like the Stellers came up? What? What what
makes you think? I agree with you?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Don't get me wrong. I think the I think the
Dolphins did well. But let me hear your take. I
mean they got two great picks.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
That's a fifth round pick and you in the fifth
round pittsby diamonds in the rough.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That's a fact. That's a fact.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
So they got uh, they got too, even though Ramsey
was a little older. But the other guy, like you said,
he he's one of them ones. And and he and
Ramsey ain't lost it. You know, he's still he's still
you know, he's still got some lockdown skills in it.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
And uh, hey, that's that's that combination over there.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
And then you give it even though the safety that's
a big that's a big loss.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
That's what That's what I'm saying. And he's been a
staple there too. Oh, he's been a staple with Pittsburgh.
He runs that defense.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, that's it. That's it. I think the last seven years.
Yeah yeah, uh.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Uh five, three time pro you know what I mean, Like, well,
he he might be getting old.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I mean, I know they some something, they must have
seen something that was like, you know, let's go ahead
and do that.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You know, he's twenty eight, so he's he's younger than
j Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, he younger than both of them. This is what
I think, or you know what, that's what I think. Yeah,
and I got a little insight because you know, like
I said, I play with these guys. Yeah, I believe
with the stillest cornerback situation because they just signed Darius Slay,
they got Joey Porter Junior on.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The other side.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, I believe they see Jayleen Ramsey, who's an incredible
corner but even more so, he's an incredible athlete. Yeah,
he's smart, he's instinctive, he's his pursuit is crazy, this
ball skills crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think he's going to safety. They wanted.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
When to get this to Pittsburgh. I think he's going
to say, wow, I don't I haven't talked to Ramsey yet.
I haven't talked to Ramsey yet, But that's my take.
I think they won. When he gets to Pittsburgh, he's
going to say, so he gotta be about what about
one five almost?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah? A lover? Yeah? Two hundred Wow that that could
be no small dude, no small any that could back.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And again, he already know the coverages, He know every
you know, he know all the coverages and ship and
now he gets and I think in his first year
and and and analyzed when he already.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Know what they be doing. In fact, I think in
his first year he'll be all pro safety.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Damn that's big. That's big right there. Yes, and this
first year he'll be all pro safety.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah. Yeah, that's big, bad, that's big.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Who's your who's your who's your squad? Orange? Who you
who you rocking? Who you pulling with? Pulling for the most.
I'm a raider man, been a radar since they left.
You know, they went to Vegas.

You might you might have you know, kind of found
love with one of l A's two teams.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I'm a ter. Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I functioned with the Rams too, okay, you know, they
showed me a lot of love. I haven't done a
lot of events with them too as well, so they're
a good franchise as well. And Uh, I actually have
a h a baby picture when I was when I
was young in the Rams uniform when they was blue
and white, real.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
When they was blue and white. Transition over to the Raiders, Okay, my.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Father transformed me and uh and he I fell in Well,
this is gonna be kind of like it might look.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh, I ain't that old, but I fell in love
with Kenny.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
King running the man, Kenny King you running back for
the Raiders, and wanted to be.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Like him and UH and Pop Warner.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
So that's what made me, you know, transform in along
with my father into a die hard, a die hard
UH writer. And I played I played like I played
every position ship, I played one, I played corner, I
played safety, I played tight.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
End, running back, I played with I played with a
lot of cats.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
That that uh, that that got the league Like Willie
and Willie mcginnison and Curtis kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:31):

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Old, Oh man, how far did you how far did
you take it that you went middle school, high school,
college went.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I got to high school, and I just I want
I went off the deep end.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I uh, I started just you know, yeah, started moving
into different directions.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But I played.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I was playing, and and you know, me and the
coach kind of we didn't we didn't see I. I
and I had a brother that played too, and they
didn't see how I. So it was kind of like
he was acting funny with me as well. So I
was just like, you know what, I'm cool. And then
I had, you know, I had to maintain that that
that two point five. Not saying that I wouldn't have
(06:13):
did it, but it was just they was just putting
a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
He was putting a lot of pressure.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
So I was like, all right, man, I'm I'm moving
into something else.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I feel for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Going going back to your Raiders, Max Crosby said that
when he's going up against Patrick Mahons, it's the best
against the best.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
We know.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Patrick Mahons, he got the Super Bowls, He the best
quarterback in the league. Do you feel like Max Crobby
is the best pass rushing in the NFL? Definitely, Yeah,
you see, they just gave him that bag not too
long ago.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Got yea. Yeah, he's been through a lot. He been
through a lot. I heard his story.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And that what that's what made me like him even
more because he had a really, really a deep story.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Before he you know, when he went back when when
the Raiders got in got in back in motion, and uh,
now I understand that because I had, well, I got
a son that that was that was in the league.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It was he.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
He was a dog of Larjah Griffin.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
He was he was.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He was a straight dog corner back. He just went
through a whole lot.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It just made me look at a lot of that
ship different. You know, but even like from college. You know,
I don't know, I ain't gonna get into it too much, but.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I think I know where you're going. It was d
It was kind of sad at.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Him because he because he was believing early.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
He left early. Oh yeah, boy, Wrinkles put in, Oh
my god.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
The super and the cold thing about it is that
they don't understand that they ruined they be having these kids,
you know, like being depressed and ship, because that's like
what the motive he's in, you know what I mean
like being stressed and depressed, and I'm like, man, just
think about something else that you want to do, and
(08:14):
I'm gonna help you. I'm gonna be behind you one
hundred and ten percent no matter what. Yeah, So you
can make more money.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Than making You can make just as much as with
me as you can make in the league.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's the fact. So Fat you know.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Been trying to get him, get him, get his head
right and trying to get him in motion.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I'm just you know, taking this step by step.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But he was a dog. I ain't gonna lie. He
was there three years. He only he got scored on
I think maybe twice once as a freshman. He started
at the freshman five starts. He was a hog. He
was the best corner they had. It was in the
health and healthon era and uh, he was a dog.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah. But even when they.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You went to the bills and and the giants, both
of them, and they just gotta you know, he just
he just you know, it was getting frustrated, you know,
because he knows he's better than a lot of guys
and he wasn't getting getting this, getting you know, show that.
But then but in the all, in the practice, everything
(09:22):
he tearing that ship up.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I had film.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I got film with him locking a gang of niggas down,
like no names, I ain't gonna name him, but I
mean getting off the line, you know. Uh, just like damn, there's.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Some politics and going on.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Man, it's it's super And they tell you it's the business.
You know what I mean, it's the business, the business,
and you you really part of it.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Made me look at that ship a whole total different.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Well, I was like, damn, and I'm a I'm a
die I'm an NFL fan, but it ain't actually the NFL.
It's like the motherfuckers in it. Uh, Like you say politics,
and that ship is.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Called crazy one.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Some of them had they been doing four years old,
you know what I mean, and then to get all
the way.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
There just to get shot down.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's crazy, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But some of them because the reason why they do
certain things. They have a player that like one of
the head scouts or the executive scouts, he got a
player that he scouted for six months, he feels very
strongly about, so we want to bring him. We get
him in the camp. But the other guys out performing
them one thousand percent. But this scout he brought him in,
(10:40):
so he wants to see him get these reps. He
wanted to see him get a chance. And they really
some guys just don't get the reps. Just on that
by like who brought him in and where they fall
on that depth charge as soon as the training camp start.
It's it's tough man, it's a hard business. Yeah, you know,
loved him. Uh he loved it. Uh God damn it.
(11:01):
The black cat he was with the Bills. He's the
DV coach.
Speaker 3 (11:04):

Speaker 3 (11:57):
And any football player, anybody, I don't care who it is,
just make sure that you have things to go back
on and fall back on, period, because it's a it's
a cold game, and you got to have things that
make you feel good outside of football, like different things
you want to do, whether it's the podcasting or whether
it's it's acting, it's being a sports announcer.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's just so much.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Bron still be involved in with the NFL, with the
programs that they have and still be making bread. So

I used to grill a lot, and uh so I
used to do it so much all my friends. They
always like warning, you need to create products to go

time entering the competition was.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Because when you once you get your uh you know,
because you have to really get your presentation together. So
once you get your presentation together with your.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Box, you have to walk it up and uh.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
While you walking up, you gotta walk past all the
other pitmasters and stuff like that, and.

Some of them be like good luck, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Oh They're like like, you know, like it's so, you know,
like everybody like saying something to you. And then like
when I was delivering the box, it was the brisket box.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Right when I got up.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
There, it was another uh uh barbecue, another team that
was in competition with us, and they stood right there
at the tip right there when I was dropping the box.
And once I dropped the box, you gotta sign the
paper and then when you back up, that's when all
this ship start.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yea. So it's like it's it's.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
It's fun, man, it's fun. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What was it? What city?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
This was in Long Island, New York.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I think it was.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I think it was called Eisenhower Park if I'm not mistaken,
But it was a long lie of New York Man.
And it was a lot of fun just going around
and having like Tirron Tyron Matthews there.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
He was like a badger was there. That's I got
to go down to behind badger. That it's it's a
it's a barbecue cap with the same name.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And like us, I imagine my fault bro. I thought
he was up there with with the grill masters. My
fault bro also is somebody the same name.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Yeah, yes, indeed he and he's a bit master.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Uh that I follow a lot of people following uh
and uh.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
He was cooking some good food.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
He had a line so long that I mean they
had like liquor companies there.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
They had food and good music and wine. Uh.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And then the fans, you know, all the all the
people that's there. They what they could do is they
could come back where all the pit masters are where
we are.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And we do a demo for him and they all coming.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
They sample the food and it's just a really good time, man.
And it's food and music just a good time, just
a really good time, you know. And that's that's what
I told Eating Magazine. I said, they was like, well,
why do you like barbecue? I say, it gives me
a piece of mind, you know, so away from all
of the stuff I do and music, I can relax
(18:21):
over here.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Even though I relax, I do my thing.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I have fun in my music definitely, But over here
you're a still vibe. I still got the music going, cooking,
some good food and a lot of good people, a
lot of gray vibes.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Man.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And that's just that's what That's what I'm about, man.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
And I get to the more.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
When you when you get to the at least, like
you uped over the top five grill masses, Like what
how how can you find the separating factor?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Because like down here in Dallas we got some great barbecue.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
There's a place called us and I feel like I
feel like Hutchins is just like how can how can
the barbecue get any better than this?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
You know what I mean? Yeah? And how how do you?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
How do you what's the separating factors that take you know, uh,
number five to number four?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Number two? Like, how can you really tell who's that
much better?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I mean it's it's the way they the way they
do it.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
They judged by they judged by the way look by
the done this they I mean everything the presentation the
house looking at the box. Yeah, it's it's really like
it's really technical, like they really like the art to
it do a whole lot. Yeah, it's a whole art
with with the judges and they really they really, they
(19:41):
really put they all into it. Ship Man, it was
I couldn't believe that I beat out some of the
guys that I look up to, even though I came
in fifth.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
You know, I'm shooting for.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The I'm going I'm trying to get that World Championship.
I'm gonna get one of the I'm working up the
then for the first time that that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Man, I love it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Hey snipping Griffiths Barbecue dot go get it for July
coming up, Please go get it.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh gee, I gotta forgot a music question for you.
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So after after last summer with the Kendrick and Drake
Drake Beef, now I know it got a lot of attention,
got the West Coast with more odds and more attention
that it's had in a really long time. And We'll
be honest, what advice would you give to young West
Coast artists about longevity in the industry, like and and
what's your takes on that on that on that beaf Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
As far as the Kendrick and uh Drake beef, I
just looked at it just like how it boss would
n w A and and Easy, you know, or any
other like Niles and and and jay Z.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Just like a battle. I looked at it like that.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
But you know, the court stuff and all that. That
ain't how we used to get down.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
We used to just go at and tell somebody just
declared the winner.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
But I mean it's you.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Know it, you know, they they both doing that thing
right now. They're both successful. Drake has actually got a
really good record out. That's that's tearing up the Charles
Kendricks still tearing up the charge. So I mean, it's
it's it's it's it's cool, you know that they that
they the kind of died out and they back to
doing what they doing and selling records and and and
(21:25):
being who they are. And as far as like the
young generation, I just I just try to tell them,
you know, just just don't don't ruin your relationships with
with the industry of people in the in the industry.
Just always be solid and carry yourself in a cool way.
Don't be one of those dudes that's all over the
(21:46):
place getting in troubling ship all the time and doing
crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Just be just be cool and be yourself. You don't
need to do all.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Of the the you know, the gun toting and all
that extra ship because it may make us look like animals.
You just keep good relationships, have a great manager, keep
from great lawyers, and a great team around you that
can that can tell you when you know when okay,
(22:15):
you know, tell you know you got you gotta have
somebody to tell you like man that ain't that ain't working,
you know, And you you gotta be able to accept
the criticism from your team and not down them because
they looking out for your best interests. And if you
got two or three different people saying the same thing,
and you gotta take a couple of steps back and look,
say maybe they are right.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Uh, let me change this up.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
So you got to have a good support system as well,
and just you know, like I said, from hip hop
to the NFL, to basketball, to baseball to soccer, whatever
it is, all the young guys invest. That's the main
thing to invest. When you get your bread, make sure
you invest so you can keep that money going. So
(23:01):
when you're done with this, you still got that bad.
But then you got this over here that was quietly building,
and then you know you can get you It's longevity
and you could relax and just and and and be
able to put all your your family on and put
everybody on it and be able to provide them with jobs.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Just a lot of good things.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I heard you keep saying this word and you emphasize
it when you said it team, team, you said it
probably three four times. Yeah, how at what point or
what age or what time of your career did you
realize or you have a team that really excelled you? Like,
how soon did you know that it had to take
a team? And was it just Warren g putting it
together and going now?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I had I had a team from the start, you know,
from doing my first albums to getting put on by
that JAB. Just the support system I had with Leo
and Russell and Ken Allows, Mike Kayser, Julie Greenwald uh uh,
Chris Lighty uh uh, Wes Johnson uh people that gonna
(24:10):
be like them this niggative but uh, I have a
support team.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I had a support team that really that helped me,
you know.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Get that get that, get get to that extra steps
and uh and get the music out there. And at
the same time, what it did was was, uh, help
a company that was good morning bankruptcy that I didn't
even know about, pulled that. It pulled them out of
bankruptcy and saved that company. Then it opened the doors
(24:37):
for jay z d MX, method Man, red Man and
everybody else.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
So that was like what I did for them. You know,
every time.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Def jam was going under, going in bankruptcy.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
They was going under, they was going to bankruptcy.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Took off, Yes, indeed, and I saved the company and
uh yeah wow, and they are huge company now because
of that, and they they cool, you know, everybody that
that was there. Uh. I had a really good team
and and you know I had I had a support
(25:14):
system that that believed in me.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I didn't. I didn't have to.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
They didn't have to say with Warren, we need you
to do this. They said, do what you do and
we're going back you. We're gonna be behind you one
hundred and ten percent. And I was like, okay, because
some artists, they you know, some artists, the company will
make them do it.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
They they won't.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
You got to do it with them, you know, and
that's that's that's why a lot of artists go in
and out, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
So when you when you first heard that, when you
first heard that regulate be how how quickly did them
boards write themselves? Or was you able to just jump
right in get straight to it? How how was that process?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Well, that that day that I, uh that I I
had I found the sample, I was out records shopping
because that's what I do. I produce just as much
as I'm an artist. I'm a producer just as much.
So I was out record digging and just digging for records.
At the end of the day, I was went to
(26:14):
go grab me a bike from Roscoe's. Seeing a cat
out there with a credit records, you know, he looked
like he needs some help.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
So I was just like, man, how much for the
whole CRK? So he was like, you know, just give
me what you want me to gain.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
So I gave him, like I think it was five
hundred bucks and took the whole create.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
It was about at least like sixty seventy records.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
And once I got home, got in the pad, start
relaxing and started listening to records to see if I
could find samples or ideas that I could do for
the album. So ran across from Michael McDonald and the
Doowie Brothers. I keep forgetting and that soon as I
played it, it brought me back to my parents because
that's who raised me on it. So when I heard it,
(26:58):
I was like, damn, this will be dope if I
sampled this and redid it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
So I sampled it, chopped it up.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I still got the discs and everything that I used
to and the drum machin't everything that I used to
do that, and so I did it, chopped it up,
and you know, sample didn't have to beat boom boom
boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom.
And then I put the drums behind it, added some
(27:28):
keys and it it just it was banging and.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
It was bad.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
And uh so I was just like, who could I
get on this record too? To get down with me
because this was gonna this movie. Yes, indeed, I called Nate.
I said, Nate, I got going from me and you
right now. Man, let's do like how Snoop and Drake
did when they went back and forth let's do it
(27:56):
like this, and so I freestyle that whole first verse
that it was a clear block night, a clear white
moon warmer. She was on the streets trying to consume
some skirts for the eat so I could get some phones,
rolling the rye, chilling all alone. I freestyled, and then
they came in and he Nate came in. He wrote
(28:17):
his part, and then from there I started writing my
parts and uh freestyle started freestyle the uh the last verse,
I said, I'm tweaking and to a whole new era,
she funk.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That I'm crazy. I was straight. I was, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I freestyled that right writing the part, I wrote a
lot after the first verse, I freestyled. I wrote the
rest of that and then I wrote the uh while
freestyle the ending part where I said I'm tweaking and uh,
so we did that. We did it and uh we
at that time we had a saying and we'd be like, man,
(29:01):
we gotta regulate that. Let's regulate this. Let's regulate that.
That was our word around that time. So some I
don't know, I don't know how uh it happened, But
I was watching I put on Young Guns. I'm watching
Young Guns. And the dude on there to one of
the cats. He said, we worked for missus Tennsdale as regulators.
(29:22):
When he said that, I said, oh shit, he said regulators.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I said, so much to find time, and like you really,
you're going about you try to find a title, and
and then.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
That time happens.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
That was was crazy, definitely, and uh when he said regulators,
we worked for miss Tendale's regulators. And then he said
something and he said we regulated and he still in
this proper and we're damn good too.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
I took I cut different pieces.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Out of that whole scene.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
If you hear the scene, you'll be like, damn well
that this is way different. But I took different pieces
out of what he saying, and then I pieced it
at the beginning of regulation. And that's what how I
came in, said regulators were regulator and they still in
this property, and we're damn good too. But you can't
be any geek off the street. Gotta be handed with
(30:13):
the steal, you know what I mean, earn your keep.
So I took all of that that was different pieces
in the in the sap dog.

just looking over a few of these topics man, surrounding
(44:16):
the surrounding the game.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
It's around in the sports world.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
As we were talking, Tyreek Hill, my brother Tyreek Hill,
is he on that track?
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Man? My boy is motivated, He's he's dedicated.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
He's ready to have a breakout year again after a
down year. Tyreek Hill is ready to take the league
by storm again. And he's doing it in the most
Tyreek Hill way speed. He's doing it and he's doing
it to cheat Ahway speed. He ran a ten a
(45:01):
ten to one and be no allows little brother in
the latest hundred hundred meter dash this past weekend. Tarika
is I believe, thirty years old going into his tenth
year in the NFL and to be a all Pro,
multiple all Pro NFL wide receiver, to make a transition
(45:26):
in two months, to line up on the track and
run at ten to one or ten flat at thirty
years old, to plan a lot of football, taking a
lot of hits, dealing with a lot of injuries, to
go run ten flat. It is nothing short of impressive.
(45:47):
It's nothing short of amazing and remarkable. He is going
to look so fast when he gets back on that
football field. I'm telling you look out for Tyreek Hill
on your fantasy teams. Y'all you're ready draft my dog,

A little little little bit of the NBA before we
before we get out of here.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
We uh had the.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
NBA Draft just take place a couple of nights ago,
Cooper flag down in Dallas. Really, the draft and the
lottery saved Dallas and Dallas fan perception, I would say,
because after trading away to Golden Child Luca, Dallas was
(46:45):
an unhappy city that was not happy with the Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
It was it was.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
Really getting bad, and uh they were saved by Cooper flag.
Cooper flag fall into the Dallas Mavericks really really say,
the Maverage fan base from just a lot of no no,
no telling how long they would have been upset or
how long they would have had to deal with that.
But getting getting Cooper flag right when they did was
(47:12):
what's special, and it was it was couldn't couldn't happen
at a better time.

(48:05):
It'll be different once you learn more about what's going
on in the trenches and how everything that the O
line and D line is doing really dictates how the
game comes out. So all the skilled players, the quarterbacks,
receivers that you see making plays, I want you to
understand that it never happens without the dance that's happening
in the trenches. So come to my YouTube. Man, it's
(48:26):
gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Interactive. Yeah at Toronto.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
Instead click the link like subscribe Nightcap.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
We are out of here. I appreciate you love the volume.
The volume.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You feel like the Stellers came up, don't you care? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, yeah, oh I got the legend in the bill.
A hold, oh y'all we got the legend in the bill. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh my god, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
No no no my West Coast O G, West Coast O. G.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What's going on? Baby? How you're doing? Warrant G? But
you man, man, not much bro chilling talking a little football? Yeah,
I can do. You say you feel like the Stillers,
you feel like the Stellers came up? What? What what
makes you think? I agree with you?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Don't get me wrong. I think the I think the
Dolphins did well. But let me hear your take. I
mean they got two great picks.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
That's a fifth round pick and you in the fifth
round pittsby diamonds in the rough.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That's a fact. That's a fact.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
So they got uh, they got too, even though Ramsey
was a little older. But the other guy, like you said,
he he's one of them ones. And and he and
Ramsey ain't lost it. You know, he's still he's still
you know, he's still got some lockdown skills in it.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
And uh, hey, that's that's that combination over there.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
And then you give it even though the safety that's
a big that's a big loss.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
That's what That's what I'm saying. And he's been a
staple there too. Oh, he's been a staple with Pittsburgh.
He runs that defense.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, that's it. That's it. I think the last seven years.
Yeah yeah, uh.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Uh five, three time pro you know what I mean, Like, well,
he he might be getting old.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I mean, I know they some something, they must have
seen something that was like, you know, let's go ahead
and do that.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You know, he's twenty eight, so he's he's younger than
j Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, he younger than both of them. This is what
I think, or you know what, that's what I think. Yeah,
and I got a little insight because you know, like
I said, I play with these guys. Yeah, I believe
with the stillest cornerback situation because they just signed Darius Slay,
they got Joey Porter Junior on.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The other side.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, I believe they see Jayleen Ramsey, who's an incredible
corner but even more so, he's an incredible athlete. Yeah,
he's smart, he's instinctive, he's his pursuit is crazy, this
ball skills crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think he's going to safety. They wanted.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
When to get this to Pittsburgh. I think he's going
to say, wow, I don't I haven't talked to Ramsey yet.
I haven't talked to Ramsey yet, But that's my take.
I think they won. When he gets to Pittsburgh, he's
going to say, so he gotta be about what about
one five almost?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah? A lover? Yeah? Two hundred Wow that that could
be no small dude, no small any that could back.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And again, he already know the coverages, He know every
you know, he know all the coverages and ship and
now he gets and I think in his first year
and and and analyzed when he already.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Know what they be doing. In fact, I think in
his first year he'll be all pro safety.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Damn that's big. That's big right there. Yes, and this
first year he'll be all pro safety.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah. Yeah, that's big, bad, that's big.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Who's your who's your who's your squad? Orange? Who you
who you rocking? Who you pulling with? Pulling for the most.
I'm a raider man, been a radar since they left.
You know, they went to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You might you might have you know, kind of found
love with one of l A's two teams.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I'm a ter. Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I functioned with the Rams too, okay, you know, they
showed me a lot of love. I haven't done a
lot of events with them too as well, so they're
a good franchise as well. And Uh, I actually have
a h a baby picture when I was when I
was young in the Rams uniform when they was blue
and white, real.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
When they was blue and white. Transition over to the Raiders, Okay, my.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Father transformed me and uh and he I fell in Well,
this is gonna be kind of like it might look.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh, I ain't that old, but I fell in love
with Kenny.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
King running the man, Kenny King you running back for
the Raiders, and wanted to be.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Like him and UH and Pop Warner.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
So that's what made me, you know, transform in along
with my father into a die hard, a die hard
UH writer. And I played I played like I played
every position ship, I played one, I played corner, I
played safety, I played tight.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
End, running back, I played with I played with a
lot of cats.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
That that uh, that that got the league Like Willie
and Willie mcginnison and Curtis kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Played against each other seven years.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Old, Oh man, how far did you how far did
you take it that you went middle school, high school,
college went.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I got to high school, and I just I want
I went off the deep end.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I uh, I started just you know, yeah, started moving
into different directions.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But I played.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I was playing, and and you know, me and the
coach kind of we didn't we didn't see I. I
and I had a brother that played too, and they
didn't see how I. So it was kind of like
he was acting funny with me as well. So I
was just like, you know what, I'm cool. And then
I had, you know, I had to maintain that that
that two point five. Not saying that I wouldn't have
(06:13):
did it, but it was just they was just putting
a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
He was putting a lot of pressure.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
So I was like, all right, man, I'm I'm moving
into something else.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I feel for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Going going back to your Raiders, Max Crosby said that
when he's going up against Patrick Mahons, it's the best
against the best.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
We know.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Patrick Mahons, he got the Super Bowls, He the best
quarterback in the league. Do you feel like Max Crobby
is the best pass rushing in the NFL? Definitely, Yeah,
you see, they just gave him that bag not too
long ago.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Got yea. Yeah, he's been through a lot. He been
through a lot. I heard his story.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And that what that's what made me like him even
more because he had a really, really a deep story.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Before he you know, when he went back when when
the Raiders got in got in back in motion, and uh,
now I understand that because I had, well, I got
a son that that was that was in the league.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It was he.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
He was a dog of Larjah Griffin.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
He was he was.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He was a straight dog corner back. He just went
through a whole lot.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It just made me look at a lot of that
ship different. You know, but even like from college. You know,
I don't know, I ain't gonna get into it too much, but.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I think I know where you're going. It was d
It was kind of sad at.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Him because he because he was believing early.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
He left early. Oh yeah, boy, Wrinkles put in, Oh
my god.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
The super and the cold thing about it is that
they don't understand that they ruined they be having these kids,
you know, like being depressed and ship, because that's like
what the motive he's in, you know what I mean
like being stressed and depressed, and I'm like, man, just
think about something else that you want to do, and
(08:14):
I'm gonna help you. I'm gonna be behind you one
hundred and ten percent no matter what. Yeah, So you
can make more money.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Than making You can make just as much as with
me as you can make in the league.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's the fact. So Fat you know.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Been trying to get him, get him, get his head
right and trying to get him in motion.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I'm just you know, taking this step by step.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But he was a dog. I ain't gonna lie. He
was there three years. He only he got scored on
I think maybe twice once as a freshman. He started
at the freshman five starts. He was a hog. He
was the best corner they had. It was in the
health and healthon era and uh, he was a dog.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah. But even when they.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You went to the bills and and the giants, both
of them, and they just gotta you know, he just
he just you know, it was getting frustrated, you know,
because he knows he's better than a lot of guys
and he wasn't getting getting this, getting you know, show that.
But then but in the all, in the practice, everything
(09:22):
he tearing that ship up.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I had film.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I got film with him locking a gang of niggas down,
like no names, I ain't gonna name him, but I
mean getting off the line, you know. Uh, just like damn, there's.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Some politics and going on.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Man, it's it's super And they tell you it's the business.
You know what I mean, it's the business, the business,
and you you really part of it.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Made me look at that ship a whole total different.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Well, I was like, damn, and I'm a I'm a
die I'm an NFL fan, but it ain't actually the NFL.
It's like the motherfuckers in it. Uh, Like you say politics,
and that ship is.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Called crazy one.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Some of them had they been doing four years old,
you know what I mean, and then to get all
the way.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
There just to get shot down.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's crazy, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But some of them because the reason why they do
certain things. They have a player that like one of
the head scouts or the executive scouts, he got a
player that he scouted for six months, he feels very
strongly about, so we want to bring him. We get
him in the camp. But the other guys out performing
them one thousand percent. But this scout he brought him in,
(10:40):
so he wants to see him get these reps. He
wanted to see him get a chance. And they really
some guys just don't get the reps. Just on that
by like who brought him in and where they fall
on that depth charge as soon as the training camp start.
It's it's tough man, it's a hard business. Yeah, you know,
loved him. Uh he loved it. Uh God damn it.
(11:01):
The black cat he was with the Bills. He's the
DV coach.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
When you said the Bills, I was laughing, like, because, yeah,
what's the d.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Leslie Fraser. Leslie Fraser loved it. Yeah, we loved him.
And it's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Dogs he liked. He liked players as dogs. He like
players for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Leslie Fraser, he liked him.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
He him and even my guy Mark carry a lot
of them, a lot of guys.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Guys we called me like, man.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
What's up with what? What's up with O? G What's what?
Speaker 2 (11:35):

what's up with O? Gesus?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
What what he what he doing? I'm like ship. He
just just like kind of got burnt out. He wanted
he wanted to do it. But he's it's like he
went through so much. He just like burnt out and
this guy him kind of like stressed out.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Ship. So just trying to get him to learn.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And any football player, anybody, I don't care who it is,
just make sure that you have things to go back
on and fall back on, period, because it's a it's
a cold game, and you got to have things that
make you feel good outside of football, like different things
you want to do, whether it's the podcasting or whether
it's it's acting, it's being a sports announcer.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's just so much.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Bron still be involved in with the NFL, with the
programs that they have and still be making bread. So
it's a it's a lot to teach these players and investing,
invest invest, invest, invest, fact, what you got to do
off top for all the young bucks out there, you know,
(12:44):
you ol ging.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So that's the truth that is.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Invest invest, don't blow your money, don't blow it on
females and partying and tricking and all that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah, go in that way, man, Go in advance is
the true power. That's the that's the true total of
knowledge right there. Finances, you know, money you can go
a long way, yes, and yes, and yeah, but I
(13:19):
heard you've been.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I see you've been. I see you've been on the grill,
master man. You've been. You've been. You've been cooking up
quite a bit. You know.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You just place at the National Barbecue Fest fifty notable
pet makers. Like that's a huge competition, bro in the
brisk category. Tell us, tell us more about your barbecue

You got your cousins, your homeboys, your friends, everybody there,
maybe some females that hanging out and it's just a
good time because it's it's food and music.
Speaker 4 (14:04):

So every time I had a chance, even when I
was not even waring g like when I was just
a regular dude just trying.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
To get on. Uh. I used to cook.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I used to always I was grilling. I wasn't smoking.
I used to grill a lot, and uh so I
used to do it so much all my friends. They
always like warning, you need to create products to go
with the food that you be cooking, because it's good
and you be seizing it up. And uh so I
created some spices. I created some spices and got some
(14:41):
some uh uh different tips from Pops. And then one
of my other friends, her name is Cats, my homeboy
g Stacks. I was getting tips from a bunch of
different people to help me put together my spices and rubs.

time entering the competition was.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It was incredible. It was just like like a like
a playoff game. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Because when you once you get your uh you know,
because you have to really get your presentation together. So
once you get your presentation together with your.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Box, you have to walk it up and uh.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
While you walking up, you gotta walk past all the
other pitmasters and stuff like that, and.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Some of them be like good luck, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Oh They're like like, you know, like it's so, you know,
like everybody like saying something to you. And then like
when I was delivering the box, it was the brisket box.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Right when I got up.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
There, it was another uh uh barbecue, another team that
was in competition with us, and they stood right there
at the tip right there when I was dropping the box.
And once I dropped the box, you gotta sign the
paper and then when you back up, that's when all
this ship start.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yea. So it's like it's it's.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
It's fun, man, it's fun. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What was it? What city?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
This was in Long Island, New York.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I think it was.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I think it was called Eisenhower Park if I'm not mistaken,
But it was a long lie of New York Man.
And it was a lot of fun just going around
and having like Tirron Tyron Matthews there.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
He was like a badger was there. That's I got
to go down to behind badger. That it's it's a
it's a barbecue cap with the same name.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And like us, I imagine my fault bro. I thought
he was up there with with the grill masters. My
fault bro also is somebody the same name.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Yeah, yes, indeed he and he's a bit master.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Uh that I follow a lot of people following uh
and uh.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
He was cooking some good food.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
He had a line so long that I mean they
had like liquor companies there.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
They had food and good music and wine. Uh.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And then the fans, you know, all the all the
people that's there. They what they could do is they
could come back where all the pit masters are where
we are.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And we do a demo for him and they all coming.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
They sample the food and it's just a really good time, man.
And it's food and music just a good time, just
a really good time, you know. And that's that's what
I told Eating Magazine. I said, they was like, well,
why do you like barbecue? I say, it gives me
a piece of mind, you know, so away from all
of the stuff I do and music, I can relax
(18:21):
over here.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Even though I relax, I do my thing.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I have fun in my music definitely, But over here
you're a still vibe. I still got the music going, cooking,
some good food and a lot of good people, a
lot of gray vibes.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Man.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And that's just that's what That's what I'm about, man.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
And I get to the more.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
When you when you get to the at least, like
you uped over the top five grill masses, Like what
how how can you find the separating factor?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Because like down here in Dallas we got some great barbecue.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
There's a place called us and I feel like I
feel like Hutchins is just like how can how can
the barbecue get any better than this?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
You know what I mean? Yeah? And how how do you?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
How do you what's the separating factors that take you know, uh,
number five to number four?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Number two? Like, how can you really tell who's that
much better?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I mean it's it's the way they the way they
do it.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
They judged by they judged by the way look by
the done this they I mean everything the presentation the
house looking at the box. Yeah, it's it's really like
it's really technical, like they really like the art to
it do a whole lot. Yeah, it's a whole art
with with the judges and they really they really, they
(19:41):
really put they all into it. Ship Man, it was
I couldn't believe that I beat out some of the
guys that I look up to, even though I came
in fifth.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
You know, I'm shooting for.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The I'm going I'm trying to get that World Championship.
I'm gonna get one of the I'm working up the
then for the first time that that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Man, I love it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Hey snipping Griffiths Barbecue dot go get it for July
coming up, Please go get it.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh gee, I gotta forgot a music question for you.
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So after after last summer with the Kendrick and Drake
Drake Beef, now I know it got a lot of attention,
got the West Coast with more odds and more attention
that it's had in a really long time. And We'll
be honest, what advice would you give to young West
Coast artists about longevity in the industry, like and and
what's your takes on that on that on that beaf Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
As far as the Kendrick and uh Drake beef, I
just looked at it just like how it boss would
n w A and and Easy, you know, or any
other like Niles and and and jay Z.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Just like a battle. I looked at it like that.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
But you know, the court stuff and all that. That
ain't how we used to get down.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
We used to just go at and tell somebody just
declared the winner.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
But I mean it's you.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Know it, you know, they they both doing that thing
right now. They're both successful. Drake has actually got a
really good record out. That's that's tearing up the Charles
Kendricks still tearing up the charge. So I mean, it's
it's it's it's it's cool, you know that they that
they the kind of died out and they back to
doing what they doing and selling records and and and
(21:25):
being who they are. And as far as like the
young generation, I just I just try to tell them,
you know, just just don't don't ruin your relationships with
with the industry of people in the in the industry.
Just always be solid and carry yourself in a cool way.
Don't be one of those dudes that's all over the
(21:46):
place getting in troubling ship all the time and doing
crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Just be just be cool and be yourself. You don't
need to do all.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Of the the you know, the gun toting and all
that extra ship because it may make us look like animals.
You just keep good relationships, have a great manager, keep
from great lawyers, and a great team around you that
can that can tell you when you know when okay,
(22:15):
you know, tell you know you got you gotta have
somebody to tell you like man that ain't that ain't working,
you know, And you you gotta be able to accept
the criticism from your team and not down them because
they looking out for your best interests. And if you
got two or three different people saying the same thing,
and you gotta take a couple of steps back and look,
say maybe they are right.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Uh, let me change this up.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
So you got to have a good support system as well,
and just you know, like I said, from hip hop
to the NFL, to basketball, to baseball to soccer, whatever
it is, all the young guys invest. That's the main
thing to invest. When you get your bread, make sure
you invest so you can keep that money going. So
(23:01):
when you're done with this, you still got that bad.
But then you got this over here that was quietly building,
and then you know you can get you It's longevity
and you could relax and just and and and be
able to put all your your family on and put
everybody on it and be able to provide them with jobs.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Just a lot of good things.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I heard you keep saying this word and you emphasize
it when you said it team, team, you said it
probably three four times. Yeah, how at what point or
what age or what time of your career did you
realize or you have a team that really excelled you? Like,
how soon did you know that it had to take
a team? And was it just Warren g putting it
together and going now?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I had I had a team from the start, you know,
from doing my first albums to getting put on by
that JAB. Just the support system I had with Leo
and Russell and Ken Allows, Mike Kayser, Julie Greenwald uh uh,
Chris Lighty uh uh, Wes Johnson uh people that gonna
(24:10):
be like them this niggative but uh, I have a
support team.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I had a support team that really that helped me,
you know.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Get that get that, get get to that extra steps
and uh and get the music out there. And at
the same time, what it did was was, uh, help
a company that was good morning bankruptcy that I didn't
even know about, pulled that. It pulled them out of
bankruptcy and saved that company. Then it opened the doors
(24:37):
for jay z d MX, method Man, red Man and
everybody else.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
So that was like what I did for them. You know,
every time.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Def jam was going under, going in bankruptcy.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
They was going under, they was going to bankruptcy.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Took off, Yes, indeed, and I saved the company and
uh yeah wow, and they are huge company now because
of that, and they they cool, you know, everybody that
that was there. Uh. I had a really good team
and and you know I had I had a support
(25:14):
system that that believed in me.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I didn't. I didn't have to.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
They didn't have to say with Warren, we need you
to do this. They said, do what you do and
we're going back you. We're gonna be behind you one
hundred and ten percent. And I was like, okay, because
some artists, they you know, some artists, the company will
make them do it.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
They they won't.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
You got to do it with them, you know, and
that's that's that's why a lot of artists go in
and out, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
So when you when you first heard that, when you
first heard that regulate be how how quickly did them
boards write themselves? Or was you able to just jump
right in get straight to it? How how was that process?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Well, that that day that I, uh that I I
had I found the sample, I was out records shopping
because that's what I do. I produce just as much
as I'm an artist. I'm a producer just as much.
So I was out record digging and just digging for records.
At the end of the day, I was went to
(26:14):
go grab me a bike from Roscoe's. Seeing a cat
out there with a credit records, you know, he looked
like he needs some help.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
So I was just like, man, how much for the
whole CRK? So he was like, you know, just give
me what you want me to gain.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
So I gave him, like I think it was five
hundred bucks and took the whole create.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
It was about at least like sixty seventy records.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
And once I got home, got in the pad, start
relaxing and started listening to records to see if I
could find samples or ideas that I could do for
the album. So ran across from Michael McDonald and the
Doowie Brothers. I keep forgetting and that soon as I
played it, it brought me back to my parents because
that's who raised me on it. So when I heard it,
(26:58):
I was like, damn, this will be dope if I
sampled this and redid it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
So I sampled it, chopped it up.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I still got the discs and everything that I used
to and the drum machin't everything that I used to
do that, and so I did it, chopped it up,
and you know, sample didn't have to beat boom boom
boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom.
And then I put the drums behind it, added some
(27:28):
keys and it it just it was banging and.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
It was bad.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
And uh so I was just like, who could I
get on this record too? To get down with me
because this was gonna this movie. Yes, indeed, I called Nate.
I said, Nate, I got going from me and you
right now. Man, let's do like how Snoop and Drake
did when they went back and forth let's do it
(27:56):
like this, and so I freestyle that whole first verse
that it was a clear block night, a clear white
moon warmer. She was on the streets trying to consume
some skirts for the eat so I could get some phones,
rolling the rye, chilling all alone. I freestyled, and then
they came in and he Nate came in. He wrote
(28:17):
his part, and then from there I started writing my
parts and uh freestyle started freestyle the uh the last verse,
I said, I'm tweaking and to a whole new era,
she funk.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That I'm crazy. I was straight. I was, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I freestyled that right writing the part, I wrote a
lot after the first verse, I freestyled. I wrote the
rest of that and then I wrote the uh while
freestyle the ending part where I said I'm tweaking and uh,
so we did that. We did it and uh we
at that time we had a saying and we'd be like, man,
(29:01):
we gotta regulate that. Let's regulate this. Let's regulate that.
That was our word around that time. So some I
don't know, I don't know how uh it happened, But
I was watching I put on Young Guns. I'm watching
Young Guns. And the dude on there to one of
the cats. He said, we worked for missus Tennsdale as regulators.
(29:22):
When he said that, I said, oh shit, he said regulators.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I said, so much to find time, and like you really,
you're going about you try to find a title, and
and then.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
That time happens.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
That was was crazy, definitely, and uh when he said regulators,
we worked for miss Tendale's regulators. And then he said
something and he said we regulated and he still in
this proper and we're damn good too.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
I took I cut different pieces.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Out of that whole scene.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
If you hear the scene, you'll be like, damn well
that this is way different. But I took different pieces
out of what he saying, and then I pieced it
at the beginning of regulation. And that's what how I
came in, said regulators were regulator and they still in
this property, and we're damn good too. But you can't
be any geek off the street. Gotta be handed with
(30:13):
the steal, you know what I mean, earn your keep.
So I took all of that that was different pieces
in the in the sap dog.
Speaker 2 (30:19):

(44:16):
the surrounding the game.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
It's around in the sports world.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
As we were talking, Tyreek Hill, my brother Tyreek Hill,
is he on that track?
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Man? My boy is motivated, He's he's dedicated.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
He's ready to have a breakout year again after a
down year. Tyreek Hill is ready to take the league
by storm again. And he's doing it in the most
Tyreek Hill way speed. He's doing it and he's doing
it to cheat Ahway speed. He ran a ten a
(45:01):
ten to one and be no allows little brother in
the latest hundred hundred meter dash this past weekend. Tarika
is I believe, thirty years old going into his tenth
year in the NFL and to be a all Pro,
multiple all Pro NFL wide receiver, to make a transition
(45:26):
in two months, to line up on the track and
run at ten to one or ten flat at thirty
years old, to plan a lot of football, taking a
lot of hits, dealing with a lot of injuries, to
go run ten flat. It is nothing short of impressive.
(45:47):
It's nothing short of amazing and remarkable. He is going
to look so fast when he gets back on that
football field. I'm telling you look out for Tyreek Hill
on your fantasy teams. Y'all you're ready draft my dog,

before we get out of here.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
We uh had the.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
NBA Draft just take place a couple of nights ago,
Cooper flag down in Dallas. Really, the draft and the
lottery saved Dallas and Dallas fan perception, I would say,
because after trading away to Golden Child Luca, Dallas was
(46:45):
an unhappy city that was not happy with the Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
It was it was.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
Really getting bad, and uh they were saved by Cooper flag.
Cooper flag fall into the Dallas Mavericks really really say,
the Maverage fan base from just a lot of no no,
no telling how long they would have been upset or
how long they would have had to deal with that.
But getting getting Cooper flag right when they did was
(47:12):
what's special, and it was it was couldn't couldn't happen
at a better time.
