Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm okay, you want to tell me a secret? Thank you?
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
This is many many moons ago, of course, but I
moved out of state and you know, met a few
people and we became friends. One of the people that
I was acquaintance, one of their friends got into some
you know, some feat They had no ride, so I
accompanied them to you know, pick up the friends to
make sure he was safe and sound, and unfortunately, one
of the ones that I knew had a weapon on them. Unfortunately,
(04:08):
we all got caught. And because it was my vehicle,
of course I took the blame. Because it was my car.
The person that was a friend of mine didn't take responsibility,
let me fall for it. So about a year after
I came out of jail and everything, I became acquainted
with their family and decided to get revenge. I started
dating his brother and I ended up putting his brother
in jail for a long time.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh my gosh. His brother had nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Okay, listen, he took me away from my kids. The
brother knew about it, didn't tell him. Yo, you know,
this is a female. It was just, you know, take responsibility.
They let me, They let me do my thing, a
waste my kids, So it was right. I told him too,
you let me rot you will play. How long did
you go into befog a year?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, I'm sorry that that happened to you, but this
is all because you also took the responsibility and you
wouldn't tell whose it was.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Of course not that's just the rule of the streets anything.
But I also didn't know that he had the weapon.
Hence I would have knew, I wouldn't have took him.
My assumption was we were gonna go pick up the
friend because.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
He got jumped.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, that's messed up. That happened, and it was seven
of us. Do you believe in karma though, Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Absolutely believe in karma. That's why his brother did that
long as dude.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, damn. I just felt like the brother didn't do anything.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Your brother had all the influence on the other brothers
to tell him. Yo, she went over there. You knew
you know what I'm saying, and he kept telling him, Nah,
just be quiet, you know fire. Okay, you decided to
get involved and tell him to stay quiet so that
his sentence would be lesser because that was a female.
That was the first time I got arrested, so I
wasn't gonnagainst some that much time. Okay supposedly, but they
(05:46):
still gave me a gear like I I was away
from my kids.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, that's payingful. Well, welcome home first of.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
All, many many many months ago, and asked my leap.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm glad, I'm glad you made it through.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I'm glad you learned your lessons, but hopefully they don't
ever try to get revenge on you.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Trust me. They tried many many times. But I'm a
good girl. Like I said, I want to do them
the favor.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
All right.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Well that was tell us a secret eight hundred two
ninety two fifty one fifty. In case you couldn't get through,
you can always still leave a message. And later in
the show, my girl Kim Osario is going to be
joining us. You know her as the first woman editor
in chief of the Source, but she's also a producer,
she's a writer, she's a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
All of the things.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
And she has a new documentary that she executive produced
that was the brainchild of Malik Booie. It's called Tale
of the Tape, and they're both going to be joining us.
He directed it. It's all about the history of mixtape,
some of your favorite DJs and how mixtape DJs have
evolved and become so much more.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
It's way up, go right everybody since whether it's relationship
with career advice, Angela's dropping facts, you should know.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
This is asde what's up his way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I'm Angela Yee and it's time for ask Yee eight
hundred two nine two fifty one. Fifty is a number,
and you know, if you don't get through, you can
always leave a voicemail and will answer your questions that way,
And we have a voicemail right now.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
I have a general question about my friendship right now,
since I've been talking with this girl for about three
years and it's been great, but now recently, like in
a couple of months, she's been kind of distant or
very blunt with her answers. And I've seen her with
like a group of other friends and she's been hanging
(07:26):
out with them more and talking to me less. So
I'm thinking, am I getting pushed off without being told?
Or is it just me being delusional? Or how do
you like friendship work?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I really need some help, man, so many questions.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I mean, it's always hurtful when you feel like you're
really great friends with somebody and then they go ahead
and move on to a new group of friends, or
friendships change and evolve. I'm not sure how long you
guys have been really really tight, and why she's not
including you and plans with other people. You know, sometimes
there's periods where it could be somebody from work, a
(08:04):
group of friends from school, and you end up hanging
out with them more because maybe you have more things
in common, maybe they're planning more things. What I'm confused
about is why she hasn't tried to integrate you into
that group of friends. Some people aren't that good at
mixing their friends together and saying, hey, come out. They
feel like it has to be either or if you
guys are really tight, though, the thing you need to
(08:26):
do is have a conversation and let her know, because
you're never being paranoid. If you feel a way, how
you feel is how you feel now. What you need
to do is tell her, Look, we used to spend
a lot more time together. We used to hang out more,
we used to talk, and now I'm kind of feeling
like our friendship has changed. Is there anything that I
should be aware of or is this just a natural
(08:47):
evolution for you where we're just not going to be
as tight as we once were. I just want to
make sure I'm not looking at this from the wrong lens,
because I miss you and I miss my friend. And
you also could also ask her to do things like
why not invite her out?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Are you inviting her places?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
And she's brushing you off for saying no, or not
answering your calls, because sometimes maybe it's time for you
to step up and make a little effort. It could
be a variety of things, but the only way you're
gonna find out is if you talk to her and
ask her. And I think that is the best thing
to do, because you know, regardless one way or another,
your friendship has changed. Whether it's permanent or temporary, we
(09:24):
don't know that yet. But what you do know is
that your feelings are hurt and that is okay, and
real friendships you can express how you feel about things.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
All right.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Well that was ask Ye eight hundred and two ninety
two fifty one to fifty in case you couldn't get through.
Of course, we always want to take your questions and
help you out. And when we come back, Kim Osorio
and Malik Buuie will be here discussing the documentary Tale
of the Tape, all about the mixtape DJ It's way up, Yeah,
what's happy?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
You want to know?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
My name?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Way up with Angela ye?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Turn me on.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What's up? It's way up with Angela yee.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
And it's so nice to meet you, Kim Osorry, nice
to meet you. Malik Boui is here. Nice to meet
you as well. No, I actually know both of them.
Both of you are journalists but also in this TV
world producing, directing all of that. So you also both
had this tail of the tape documentary that you worked down.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Malik, this was your baby first, right, yes.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
More baby first, well over ten twelve years ago.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I like when people do documentaries over a period of time.
But you had never before seen footage from back actually
a decade ago or more.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Yeah, yeah, you know. I filmed ninety percent of it,
the Kendrick stuff, the j Cole stuff, Future, the first
time he did an interview.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
All at now.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
When you were filming those interviews, they were just interviews,
like footage you were getting or did you know what
it was eventually going to be for?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
At that point, I knew that I wanted to do
a documentary on mixtape and mixtape culture. When I did
the Kendrick shoot, he was in Atlanta just kind of
doing promo for his mixtape Section eighty. He was a
co headliner, him and dom Kin We're headlined together, Big
Sean two Chain side of Prince were openers, Oh Wow,
and DJ Drama was on the Marquee.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And Look and tail of the tape.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It's all about the importance of mixtapes and how mixtapes
really helped create so many other offspring, so many offshoots
of it.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
The DJs have served such an important part of hip hop.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
My girl Kima Sario is here and Malik Buie is here.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
We're talking about the documentary tail of the tape that's
available now. But even as far as getting the exclusives,
that was such a big deal. And I saw you
guys had Clue on there. DJ Clue to me, like
coming up, DJ Clue had some of the I remember
the Springtime stick up. I think it was called We
all have those mixtapes from our era that were like
reminds us of a period of time where we were
(11:45):
rocking that mixtape the whole Summer Clue, And we talked
about how exclusive became a thing. Yeah, you know, at
first it was like okay, you know, putting together a
mixtape and then getting these big artists and getting things
first and stuff that wasn't even like Who's Shatcha? They
talk about the biggie who Shatcha? And sometimes artists would
get really mad that you would get that exclusive from them,
(12:07):
Like how did you get that, but then it turned
into Okay, we're going to have like all it was
like an album of exclusives.
Speaker 8 (12:14):
It evolved over the years, right all the way up
until when you get to the fifty cent era with
what he did with his mixtape, right, that really changed
the way artists promoted themselves and put themselves out there,
predating whatever the label wanted to do. So I think
like we kind of were telling the story of mixtape
culture from the exception to where it is today when
(12:35):
you get to streaming and playlists and that has become
the new mixtape.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
But even thinking about how technology was so different back then,
so if you wanted to make a mixtape and sell it,
you actually had to physically like make copies of a tape,
a cassette tape.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
Yeah, Bushi B talks about that. You know, he was
at the rooftop selling his mixtape, so he would record
his set on one week and then the next seven
days before he gets back there, he's literally duplicating it
one by one with a machine and going back and
selling them. And then you know, you fast forward to
Clue Envy, who didn't have like ten machines and DVD
(13:13):
DVD duplicators and you know they figured out a real
distribution system for it, all right.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Kim Osario is here, Malik Booey is here. I know
they got some good DJ mixtape stories. We have more
with them when we come back talking about the documentary
Tale of the Tape this, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
More Way Up with Angela on them.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
What it is? What's up his Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I'm Angela Yee And Kim Osario is here, Malik Booie
is here. Kim Osario executive produced Tail of the Tape
and that is Malik Booie's baby. He directed this and
he filmed a lot of this over the past ten
to twelve years now. I remember when this whole mixtape
era had to come to an end for legal issues
and DJ drama was definitely at the center of it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And that gets addressed here too.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
So explain why mixtapes actually ended up becoming it was
a lead like you could do that, but you had
it was it became too of a burden.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Well, when you think about the clearance of the music,
that's where it becomes an issue because you're selling the
music and who's profiting off of that and the artist
isn't profiting, So it's there's all this legality involved in it,
which is why remember when they used to put the
like they would say it was here, it's for promotional
use only.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Right, say that the right for promotional use only.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
But give me twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 8 (14:34):
You know so? Yeah, exactly so. And look, we're hustlers,
and I think in hip hop we gotta figure out
a way because somebody's always eating off of the are creative.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
My girl Kima Sariu is here and Malik Buoi is here.
We're talking about the documentary tail of the tape that's
available now, but let's talk about the legal drama because
then DJ Drama his studio got rated and he had
no idea that he was even doing anything wrong according
to him, right.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
I think also it's like you have corporations with the
departments aren't talking to each other, right, Because at the
end of the day, a lot of these big tapes
that he were doing, some of them were promotion for
the actual label. So you have part of the label
that's like, here's this music for us, and then you
have another part that's like, hey, what's going on over here,
(15:25):
you know, and he was just really caught up in
a technicality and for them to try to for them
to come to his studio with guns drawn and use
such brute force like over CDs and DVDs was crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Sorry, I mean we love hearing this time.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
You don't want no drama. You know, they come for you.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I know they do.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
And who Kid And I remember Who Kid always talks
about the time that he got stuffed in the trunk. Yes,
but I can't remember what's that over some mixtape stuff too.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
Yeah, I believe it was over something with Big Punt.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I mean, it was not a game.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
What a Terror Squad wasn't to be played with. Still,
I remember being in the clubs back then.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I'm like, okay, go there here, gotta go. Something's about
to have out.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Like I love Terror Squad right, like from all the
way back then. But I remember I would see them
in action, I'd be like, Okay, they're really about what
they say.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Let me exits.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
How was it getting this picked up? Because it is
available on Prime.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
It's way up. This is a judgment free zone. Tell

Speaker 2 (03:34):

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Tell Us a Secret eight hundred two nine two fifty
one fifty Hello Anonymous color, how are you.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm okay, you want to tell me a secret? Thank you?
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
This is many many moons ago, of course, but I
moved out of state and you know, met a few
people and we became friends. One of the people that
I was acquaintance, one of their friends got into some
you know, some feat They had no ride, so I
accompanied them to you know, pick up the friends to
make sure he was safe and sound, and unfortunately, one
of the ones that I knew had a weapon on them. Unfortunately,
(04:08):
we all got caught. And because it was my vehicle,
of course I took the blame. Because it was my car.
The person that was a friend of mine didn't take responsibility,
let me fall for it. So about a year after
I came out of jail and everything, I became acquainted
with their family and decided to get revenge. I started
dating his brother and I ended up putting his brother
in jail for a long time.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh my gosh. His brother had nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Okay, listen, he took me away from my kids. The
brother knew about it, didn't tell him. Yo, you know,
this is a female. It was just, you know, take responsibility.
They let me, They let me do my thing, a
waste my kids, So it was right. I told him too,
you let me rot you will play. How long did
you go into befog a year?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, I'm sorry that that happened to you, but this
is all because you also took the responsibility and you
wouldn't tell whose it was.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Of course not that's just the rule of the streets anything.
But I also didn't know that he had the weapon.
Hence I would have knew, I wouldn't have took him.
My assumption was we were gonna go pick up the
friend because.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
He got jumped.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, that's messed up. That happened, and it was seven
of us. Do you believe in karma though, Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Absolutely believe in karma. That's why his brother did that
long as dude.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, damn. I just felt like the brother didn't do anything.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Your brother had all the influence on the other brothers
to tell him. Yo, she went over there. You knew
you know what I'm saying, and he kept telling him, Nah,
just be quiet, you know fire. Okay, you decided to
get involved and tell him to stay quiet so that
his sentence would be lesser because that was a female.
That was the first time I got arrested, so I
wasn't gonnagainst some that much time. Okay supposedly, but they
(05:46):
still gave me a gear like I I was away
from my kids.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, that's payingful. Well, welcome home first of.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
All, many many many months ago, and asked my leap.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm glad, I'm glad you made it through.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I'm glad you learned your lessons, but hopefully they don't
ever try to get revenge on you.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Trust me. They tried many many times. But I'm a
good girl. Like I said, I want to do them
the favor.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
All right.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Well that was tell us a secret eight hundred two
ninety two fifty one fifty. In case you couldn't get through,
you can always still leave a message. And later in
the show, my girl Kim Osario is going to be
joining us. You know her as the first woman editor
in chief of the Source, but she's also a producer,
she's a writer, she's a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
All of the things.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
And she has a new documentary that she executive produced
that was the brainchild of Malik Booie. It's called Tale
of the Tape, and they're both going to be joining us.
He directed it. It's all about the history of mixtape,
some of your favorite DJs and how mixtape DJs have
evolved and become so much more.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
It's way up, go right everybody since whether it's relationship
with career advice, Angela's dropping facts, you should know.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
This is asde what's up his way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I'm Angela Yee and it's time for ask Yee eight
hundred two nine two fifty one. Fifty is a number,
and you know, if you don't get through, you can
always leave a voicemail and will answer your questions that way,
And we have a voicemail right now.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
I have a general question about my friendship right now,
since I've been talking with this girl for about three
years and it's been great, but now recently, like in
a couple of months, she's been kind of distant or
very blunt with her answers. And I've seen her with
like a group of other friends and she's been hanging
(07:26):
out with them more and talking to me less. So
I'm thinking, am I getting pushed off without being told?
Or is it just me being delusional? Or how do
you like friendship work?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I really need some help, man, so many questions.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I mean, it's always hurtful when you feel like you're
really great friends with somebody and then they go ahead
and move on to a new group of friends, or
friendships change and evolve. I'm not sure how long you
guys have been really really tight, and why she's not
including you and plans with other people. You know, sometimes
there's periods where it could be somebody from work, a
(08:04):
group of friends from school, and you end up hanging
out with them more because maybe you have more things
in common, maybe they're planning more things. What I'm confused
about is why she hasn't tried to integrate you into
that group of friends. Some people aren't that good at
mixing their friends together and saying, hey, come out. They
feel like it has to be either or if you
guys are really tight, though, the thing you need to
(08:26):
do is have a conversation and let her know, because
you're never being paranoid. If you feel a way, how
you feel is how you feel now. What you need
to do is tell her, Look, we used to spend
a lot more time together. We used to hang out more,
we used to talk, and now I'm kind of feeling
like our friendship has changed. Is there anything that I
should be aware of or is this just a natural
(08:47):
evolution for you where we're just not going to be
as tight as we once were. I just want to
make sure I'm not looking at this from the wrong lens,
because I miss you and I miss my friend. And
you also could also ask her to do things like
why not invite her out?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Are you inviting her places?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
And she's brushing you off for saying no, or not
answering your calls, because sometimes maybe it's time for you
to step up and make a little effort. It could
be a variety of things, but the only way you're
gonna find out is if you talk to her and
ask her. And I think that is the best thing
to do, because you know, regardless one way or another,
your friendship has changed. Whether it's permanent or temporary, we
(09:24):
don't know that yet. But what you do know is
that your feelings are hurt and that is okay, and
real friendships you can express how you feel about things.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
All right.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Well that was ask Ye eight hundred and two ninety
two fifty one to fifty in case you couldn't get through.
Of course, we always want to take your questions and
help you out. And when we come back, Kim Osorio
and Malik Buuie will be here discussing the documentary Tale
of the Tape, all about the mixtape DJ It's way up, Yeah,
what's happy?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
You want to know?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
My name?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Way up with Angela ye?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Turn me on.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What's up? It's way up with Angela yee.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
And it's so nice to meet you, Kim Osorry, nice
to meet you. Malik Boui is here. Nice to meet
you as well. No, I actually know both of them.
Both of you are journalists but also in this TV
world producing, directing all of that. So you also both
had this tail of the tape documentary that you worked down.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Malik, this was your baby first, right, yes.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
More baby first, well over ten twelve years ago.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I like when people do documentaries over a period of time.
But you had never before seen footage from back actually
a decade ago or more.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Yeah, yeah, you know. I filmed ninety percent of it,
the Kendrick stuff, the j Cole stuff, Future, the first
time he did an interview.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
All at now.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
When you were filming those interviews, they were just interviews,
like footage you were getting or did you know what
it was eventually going to be for?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
At that point, I knew that I wanted to do
a documentary on mixtape and mixtape culture. When I did
the Kendrick shoot, he was in Atlanta just kind of
doing promo for his mixtape Section eighty. He was a
co headliner, him and dom Kin We're headlined together, Big
Sean two Chain side of Prince were openers, Oh Wow,
and DJ Drama was on the Marquee.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And Look and tail of the tape.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It's all about the importance of mixtapes and how mixtapes
really helped create so many other offspring, so many offshoots
of it.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
The DJs have served such an important part of hip hop.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
My girl Kima Sario is here and Malik Buie is here.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
We're talking about the documentary tail of the tape that's
available now. But even as far as getting the exclusives,
that was such a big deal. And I saw you
guys had Clue on there. DJ Clue to me, like
coming up, DJ Clue had some of the I remember
the Springtime stick up. I think it was called We
all have those mixtapes from our era that were like
reminds us of a period of time where we were
(11:45):
rocking that mixtape the whole Summer Clue, And we talked
about how exclusive became a thing. Yeah, you know, at
first it was like okay, you know, putting together a
mixtape and then getting these big artists and getting things
first and stuff that wasn't even like Who's Shatcha? They
talk about the biggie who Shatcha? And sometimes artists would
get really mad that you would get that exclusive from them,
(12:07):
Like how did you get that, but then it turned
into Okay, we're going to have like all it was
like an album of exclusives.
Speaker 8 (12:14):
It evolved over the years, right all the way up
until when you get to the fifty cent era with
what he did with his mixtape, right, that really changed
the way artists promoted themselves and put themselves out there,
predating whatever the label wanted to do. So I think
like we kind of were telling the story of mixtape
culture from the exception to where it is today when
(12:35):
you get to streaming and playlists and that has become
the new mixtape.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
But even thinking about how technology was so different back then,
so if you wanted to make a mixtape and sell it,
you actually had to physically like make copies of a tape,
a cassette tape.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
Yeah, Bushi B talks about that. You know, he was
at the rooftop selling his mixtape, so he would record
his set on one week and then the next seven
days before he gets back there, he's literally duplicating it
one by one with a machine and going back and
selling them. And then you know, you fast forward to
Clue Envy, who didn't have like ten machines and DVD
(13:13):
DVD duplicators and you know they figured out a real
distribution system for it, all right.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Kim Osario is here, Malik Booey is here. I know
they got some good DJ mixtape stories. We have more
with them when we come back talking about the documentary
Tale of the Tape this, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
More Way Up with Angela on them.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
What it is? What's up his Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I'm Angela Yee And Kim Osario is here, Malik Booie
is here. Kim Osario executive produced Tail of the Tape
and that is Malik Booie's baby. He directed this and
he filmed a lot of this over the past ten
to twelve years now. I remember when this whole mixtape
era had to come to an end for legal issues
and DJ drama was definitely at the center of it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And that gets addressed here too.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
So explain why mixtapes actually ended up becoming it was
a lead like you could do that, but you had
it was it became too of a burden.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Well, when you think about the clearance of the music,
that's where it becomes an issue because you're selling the
music and who's profiting off of that and the artist
isn't profiting, So it's there's all this legality involved in it,
which is why remember when they used to put the
like they would say it was here, it's for promotional
use only.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Right, say that the right for promotional use only.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
But give me twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 8 (14:34):
You know so? Yeah, exactly so. And look, we're hustlers,
and I think in hip hop we gotta figure out
a way because somebody's always eating off of the are creative.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
My girl Kima Sariu is here and Malik Buoi is here.
We're talking about the documentary tail of the tape that's
available now, but let's talk about the legal drama because
then DJ Drama his studio got rated and he had
no idea that he was even doing anything wrong according
to him, right.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
I think also it's like you have corporations with the
departments aren't talking to each other, right, Because at the
end of the day, a lot of these big tapes
that he were doing, some of them were promotion for
the actual label. So you have part of the label
that's like, here's this music for us, and then you
have another part that's like, hey, what's going on over here,
(15:25):
you know, and he was just really caught up in
a technicality and for them to try to for them
to come to his studio with guns drawn and use
such brute force like over CDs and DVDs was crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Sorry, I mean we love hearing this time.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
You don't want no drama. You know, they come for you.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I know they do.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
And who Kid And I remember Who Kid always talks
about the time that he got stuffed in the trunk. Yes,
but I can't remember what's that over some mixtape stuff too.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
Yeah, I believe it was over something with Big Punt.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I mean, it was not a game.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
What a Terror Squad wasn't to be played with. Still,
I remember being in the clubs back then.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I'm like, okay, go there here, gotta go. Something's about
to have out.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Like I love Terror Squad right, like from all the
way back then. But I remember I would see them
in action, I'd be like, Okay, they're really about what
they say.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Let me exits.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
How was it getting this picked up? Because it is
available on Prime.
