We do have two thirds of the trio.

Speaker 9 (02:53):
Like keV said, Altraic, we got cycle Less, we got

Speaker 9 (03:02):
Ill Maattic, ready to Die, Hard to Earn, Southern Playlistic Resurrection,
Stress Word Life, six feet Deep, super Tight. There's a
dark side, the meaning ingredient sunrises in the East, but
there's always that one album that gets slept on. It
does not get the proper shine, and that is street Level.
So tonight we break it down track by track. We
talked to two thirds of the trio, and we have

(03:23):
a great fucking time reminiscent of this twenty six year
old classic.

Speaker 13 (03:27):
Damn Man Episode sixty seven. We thought we'd do something
special and help remind you that the power of hip
hop can always transport you to another level. So happy
twenty sixth anniversary to the debut full length album Beating
Us street Level. As my man Jay just said, this
album picked up We're Intoxicated Demons left off and definitely
catapulted this group to probably one of the greatest East

(03:50):
Coast production teams that come out of that q Borough.
We're gonna break down each track of this record, talk
about it with Al Turk and none other than Psycho
Lez himself. These are the real stories by the legends
in this hip hop game, and I couldn't think of
another record more deserving. So Aaron, let these people know
what they're about to get into tonight.

Speaker 11 (04:08):
Hey, hey, ron Jay, you.

Speaker 14 (04:10):
Spit out a really long list of some great fucking
albums that came out in the mid nineties. As we
sat down as a group, we all agreed on street Level.
We all agreed to all this because there's no skips.
It's just hard ass beats, hard ass rhymes, high energy,
everything you want from an underground classic.

Speaker 11 (04:30):
And we're real excited to bring this to you tonight.
And something special that we're doing that we had the pleasure.

Nuts street Level.

Speaker 11 (05:14):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
You're listening to episode sixty seven attribute to Street Level,
featuring the world famous beat Nuts.

Speaker 9 (05:48):
All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm excited for our next guest.
He is one of my favorites from the crew. I
shouldn't say he's actually my favorite, although that's not fair
to the other guys, but he is cool, fast. He
is also he is our next guest. Don't take it
procal radio real quick, al, you know this is what
the deal is. We're talking about street Level. By the way,
what's the proper way to fucking call this out? Is

(06:09):
it street Level or is it self titled?

Speaker 12 (06:11):
Let me let me tell you what happened.

Speaker 15 (06:13):
We took a bunch of photos and the consensus on
the photos was that when like everybody was you know,
we all was like, yo, that's said.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
That's hard. That looks crazy. So we used it, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 15 (06:24):
And it was somebody at the label first that was
saying street level, and it was like, yo, damn street level,
Like that's like kind of the feeling of everything, man,
And then it was like more people saying it. And
when we first put it out it was a self
it was like self titled. That's what the promotions was, like, Yo,

(06:45):
the beat Nuts album, the beat Nuts, like this is us.
But so many people kept saying street level, street level,
street level, that it just became street level, you know
what I'm saying. And we all accepted that and loved it,
you know what I'm saying. So it was it was
all good, but it was just crazy the way everything fit,
you know what I mean, the way that picture was taken,

(07:05):
what it captured, the feeling to us, you know what
I mean. And then everybody started saying it, so it
was probably like we sent that out there more f
feel like we love this title.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
So like subliminately came to you guys through the art
for the album cover.

Speaker 15 (07:20):
Huh yeah. But we never said it though. It was
other people that were saying, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
It was other people that kept saying street level, street level,
And it was like, y'all, I always call it street level,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 12 (07:31):
I never say the beating nuts, you know, joint.

Speaker 9 (07:34):
I think most people these days called street level.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
It's just yeah.

Speaker 12 (07:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (07:38):
Ironically, this album came out twenty six years ago, June
June of ninety four. Wow, twenty six years. I mean,
we're still talking about this album. I mean that's pretty
powerful to have a piece of art that people still
revere and hold in high regard, and it came out
in one of the greatest years ever in hip hop.

Speaker 12 (08:00):
Yeah, I love that, bro. I don't even know if
it dawned on me.

Speaker 15 (08:04):
Like during the time, I knew who was coming out,
you know, we knew everything, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 12 (08:08):
But as the years.

Speaker 15 (08:09):
Went on, I never thought about like how crazy that
year was until I started seeing posts of people saying, Yo,
it's this the you know, the the greatest year and
hip hop releases and all this type of shit, and
then I would see our.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Album on that shit and I'd be like, oh shit.

Speaker 15 (08:25):
It makes you feel some type of way, bro, And
it's a good way, you know what I mean. And yes,
it's crazy. I was a crazy year, so much shit, man,
it was nuts.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
We actually had had an episode a couple of years
ago where we each went around and picked our favorite
years in hip hop, and I actually chose nineteen ninety four.
And your album Street Level is one of the main
reasons for that, you know, along with Illmatic and Ready
to Die and oh and just yeah, bro, you know

(08:54):
your album is no skips, Bro. That was a big
deal back then when you don't have to skip a
track and your interludes, Man, that shit was just dope.
And we're gonna get into more, you know, deeper on
all that minute, but.

Speaker 9 (09:05):
We definitely want to do a breakdown. So so it's
funny that I'm seeing you now. I mean a lot
of people have the vision of you and that Nirvana shirt.
You got three and a half mics in the source.
This dude is mean mugging in a Nirvana's shirt, and
We're like, what the fuck? This is good? This is
gonna be a good album. And despite that source rating,

(09:26):
the album was fucking phenomenal.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
You know what they did, right, you know, they came.

Speaker 9 (09:30):
Back and gave you like another half a mic or something.

Speaker 15 (09:33):
Right, Yeah, like gave it four mics. Like yo, it
was a misprinted I'm like, bro, you already did that shit.

Speaker 13 (09:38):
Yo. What was the first beat Nuts album that had
the actual beat Nuts logo on it?

Speaker 12 (09:43):
Intoxic?

Speaker 13 (09:44):
Yeah, because that flip from the Hank Mobley album of
the Turnaround. I just love the way that thing went down.
I was just curious, do you know who actually was
responsible for finding that particular record off Blue Note and saying,
hey man, this is going to become our new logo.

Speaker 15 (09:59):
Well, unfortunately, at the time that that stuff was going on,
I was incarcerated.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yeah, so I wasn't there for a lot of.

Speaker 15 (10:07):
The process and the processes of Intoxicated Demons. You know,
we were doing my solo project. Before I left. I
had to go away for almost a year.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
I went to Shock.

Speaker 15 (10:20):
So instead of doing the three years in prison, I
went to the military boot camp, which was like nuts
back in those days.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 15 (10:31):
So when I came home, I saw everything and I
would think, I don't.

Speaker 12 (10:35):
Know, this is just an educated guest, and.

Speaker 15 (10:37):
Knowing the two dudes, I would think less initiated that
because that whole name and everything that's just so less
you know what I'm saying. I would think that he's
the one that was like, Yo, let's use this and
let's make a demon's tail a lot of and it's
a demon's tail.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
That's just lessons a bugged out.

Speaker 15 (10:52):
Dude when it comes to like making beats and making
different shit and you know, thinking outside the box with shit.

Speaker 9 (10:59):
So'd you kind of give a little background. So before
we get into this album, you guys dropped an EP.
You went away for a little bit, which explains why
you're only on a few songs of the EB.

Speaker 15 (11:09):
There was a bunch of other shit that we never used.
Like I said that was gonna be, you know, my
solo project.

Speaker 9 (11:15):
Correct. So initially you were really the lyrical talent of
the group, and I guess they were the production crew
and they were really all about putting you out before
the group itself, well.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Before anything really popped off.

Speaker 15 (11:29):
Of course, Juju knew like the native Tongu dues you know,
from be digging with Tip and fucking around with Jungle.

Speaker 12 (11:36):
You know, Jungle Brothers and all that stuff.

Speaker 15 (11:38):
They were producing the Chili album and I came on
to write for chia A.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Li and do a lot of the songs and perform
up there.

Speaker 15 (11:44):
So you know I would take that, you know, the
lyrical talent of the group, you.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
Know what I'm saying. So when we did this song
let the Horns.

Speaker 15 (11:51):
Blow at chia a Li, and it was like myself
Fife pas or Doves from Daylight Dress from Black Sheep,
and the label like Relativity is like, oh shit, you
know we know everybody else.

Speaker 12 (12:04):
Who's this dude right here?

Speaker 15 (12:05):
Yo, this is the guy that's been writing for Chi
and he's like the rapper with the.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
Bas snowing up a key Yo. Set us sex and
Rio the passion you wanna lesson make a cern off
the trio, Philip Filling, Bouling, fo frilling.

Speaker 11 (12:18):
Fuck.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
I smelled props hit him Hart and then I come,
I love to eat.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
The skin by first time, expecting not a minona got
a reckon, go with chickens or you can get data.
I don't just pass me your plight. The little seafoods
I find out on a ring of data for never
start of track without me Nuts on the list Brother's
book Shots, point Plate is still.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Miss milimits midlimits. Why would I have with this fail
us to fight for piece and fight for it with
this thing.

Speaker 15 (12:41):
Before that, we were doing my demo, you know what
I'm saying. So we were already kind of like, you know,
not a group, you know, really, but working with each
other in that, you know, like that.

Speaker 12 (12:52):
So the label was like, let's do his shit. You

Speaker 15 (12:55):
We're gonna cash in this whole native tongues and this
whole thing that's going on. So we started doing my
you know, a solo joint with you and less on stuff,
you know what I'm saying, but mostly me. I had
to go away and when I came home, they had
put those other songs together. It was meant to happen
like that, man, because if I was dead, they wouldn't
have made fuck drink bit smoke some shit.

Speaker 12 (13:16):
They wouldn't have made popped the trunk.

Speaker 15 (13:17):
Maybe we probably would have got on it, but it
being my solo project, I would have probably been the
lead on what ideas and what hook and what to
do when I wasn't thinking like that, so that was
like meant to happen. That was just meant to happen,
you know what I'm saying. And then we went from
there to the to the album. You know, that was
successful and I got a great reception when I came home,

(13:39):
you know what I'm saying, from prison and all that shit,
and you know, shit just flowed. We worked together good
doing the album. Of course, we had shit that seemed
so crazy when I was a kid, like the interaction
between us, you know, me and Ju being alpha males
and you know what I'm saying, but having our different
approaches to shit, you know what I mean? It led
to me being on correct records and you know, doing

(14:02):
a solo project.

Speaker 11 (14:04):
How many songs did you record for the album? You
ended up with seventeen?

Speaker 14 (14:08):
Most most groups end up recording a gang more songs
and then you you weed through and select the ones
that you want to put on an album.

Speaker 11 (14:15):
How many did you guys record for Street Level? Yeah?

Speaker 15 (14:19):
Yo, it's not that many more songs that we recorded. Man,
it took us, like note took us. I hate to
say that because it seems like it was a labor.
It was more it was a labor of love and
we just yo. We used to go to the studio
every day a soundtrack getting fucked up.

Speaker 12 (14:34):
You know.

Speaker 15 (14:34):
We used to order cases of beer every day and
I remember every day I ate fucking steak and broccoli.
Bro It was nuts, man, it was nuts. It was nuts.
It was like other people doing their shit in the studio,
heavy d in one room right here, Ill and out Scratch.
I remember Ill and ol Scratch heard their record on
the for the first time ever on the radio.

Speaker 12 (14:56):
I Love Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 15 (14:58):
We were all in the lounge that sounds track and
the shit came on the radio and.

Speaker 12 (15:01):
It was like, yo, yo, yo yo, can we turn
this up? Can we turn this up?

Speaker 15 (15:05):
They turned it up and it was a shit and
we was all bumping to it, like, oh y'all, y'all
gonna blow right now, you're about to blow. That song
is hard, but it was just nuts, man. And I
think that we would work on a song for like days,
for days, so we didn't do like, you know, thirty
songs or some shit and pick the best bet. At seventeen,
we like fell in love with a beat or was

(15:25):
it in love with it? Off rip and just started
recording and we would just take a process for every song,
adding little stuff, taking stuff away, doing a different version
of it.

Speaker 12 (15:35):
Props over here was actually the last song we did.

Speaker 13 (15:37):
Bro, And what did you guys just have like a
gang of records in the studio and just thumbing through
and whatever kind of fit you put.

Speaker 12 (15:44):
In doing lass sitting in the studio playing loops?

Speaker 16 (15:48):
Yoah?

Speaker 9 (15:49):
What is that?

Speaker 15 (15:49):
Or they might come to the joint with something that's
not all the way done, you know what I'm saying,
but like something they worked on at home, and shit.

Speaker 13 (15:57):
Well that could always get a little bit money when
you're trying to, you know, get production credit.

Speaker 9 (16:01):
Yeah, of course, let's get into the album because I
really want to get your take on on a lot
of these tracks, and I know there's a story. So
with that said, we'll skip the intro. Although the intro
is pretty pretty comical.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
What's the intro again?

Speaker 13 (16:15):
The Yeah, Well, the intro sounds a little like the
Malcolm McLaren duck rock intro where it's just like world
famous and all the speakers.

Speaker 17 (16:35):
Honey ah sweeten.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
World's famous show the HPI one of five.

Speaker 12 (17:37):
Yeah, crazy crazy Bro.

Speaker 9 (17:39):
Technically, the first song is you Don't Stop right.

Speaker 12 (17:42):
You know, I believe Lucian did that.

Speaker 9 (17:48):
Man, all these tracks were like sequenced perfection. That's one
of those things like I believe is such a lost
art on on records these days, is that you have
to sequence the mood properly. And this album is, like
I said, sequenced to absolute perfections. So let's start with you.
Don't stop tell us about what it was like making

(18:09):
that song, the energy in the room, how long did
it take you to make that song? Just take the
listeners with you. You know in that session, you don't stop.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
Autivit.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
You know what, I'm a bat one puffing on a
fat one cuzlin are gonna staff which just.

Because I'm.

Speaker 11 (21:13):
The real super fly.

Speaker 15 (21:15):
Yeah, you don't stop crazy just the whole time with it,
because we were dealing with Lucian, you know what I'm saying.
And y'all know Lucy and Lucy and Lucy and Lucy
you shut yeah, popa little, that's what we call him, Popolottle.
So just you know, Lucian is a character man. He's
a deep dude, he's a good dude, he's a he's

(21:37):
a at times he's gonna be an aggressive dude and
an animated dude a lot like myself, another uh alpha male.
So it was like nuts working with him because he
has his own ideas about how the ship should go.
And then you know that even adds more fuel to
the fire of juwe lesson and I trying to figure
out what direction we're gonna go. With the song what

(21:59):
Feels the Best, So it was just nuts working with
him on that. But we knew, I think each one
of us, man, every like, as soon as we heard
that loop that it was a gulf. I'm going to
tell y'allay, it was over crazy because we were overthinking.

Speaker 12 (22:11):
That shit so much.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
When I look back, man, because you know, it was
so much.

Speaker 15 (22:15):
It was really None of us spoke about it, but
it was pressure, you know, dressing them had come out
and blown up, you know, tribe and everybody was big,
and it was like, yo, you know, we gotta top
the EP.

Speaker 12 (22:27):
We gotta blow and the label fucked us up.

Speaker 17 (22:30):
Man.

Speaker 15 (22:30):
And when we get to it and we talk about
Props over Here, I'm gonna tell y'all how we how
that became the first single and all of that shit,
and it's like, we didn't want that as the first single.

Speaker 11 (22:39):
What do you want to the first single?

Speaker 15 (22:41):
It could have been hit Me with that hardcore, It
could have been that, it could have been get funky.

Speaker 13 (22:47):
Well, let me just say this. As far as Props
over Here, which is the next song in order, that
was the first song for me that carved out a
style for the beat Nuts. It had like a strong
jazz groove with the base lick brought out, so it
was smooth but like super rugged beats Man. So as
far as I'm concerned, that's quintessential beat Nuts right there.
So maybe we owe that to you for bringing like,

(23:07):
you know, the elevated lyricism to the beat Nuts for
the first time.

Speaker 12 (23:10):
Listen, let me tell you.

Speaker 15 (23:11):
Something, man, it has taken years and you know, the
launch and the advent and all this social media stuff
for me to hear that from people, because I'm telling you,
we used to really be down on that song. I
can remember a lesson not being on tour and being like,
oh my god, here we go boom to boom, cause
it doesn't feel like anything else on the album.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Bro.

Speaker 15 (23:31):
We had another version of that song that we had
done that you know before that, and the label came
and they were like, Yo, we need some radio stuff,
and I'm like, bro, we got radio stuff. We got shited,
like we our own shit. We gonna kill it like
and they were so helping. Once they heard the beat
to props, it was like, Yo, that's why I'm telling you.
I never liked that hook. I never liked nothing. To me,

(23:53):
it was so contrived. It was so like, all right,
what can we get on the radio?

Speaker 5 (23:57):
What can be a back and forth with the cloud
when you get pomps or whatever?

Speaker 6 (24:03):
She had healingside true set up with the face in
your face New York City happens.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
You know.

Speaker 16 (28:03):
What about it?

Speaker 15 (28:11):
As time has gone on and I've heard from fans
and other people and other artists and shit like Yo
man Props was one of the I'll be like, like, are.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
You just saying that shit?

Speaker 15 (28:21):
Because we released it as the first single, but it's
like genuine shit. I'm like, wow, that's crazy. So imagine
if we had a given that song the right energy,
it would have been even crazier for us. Man, like
the whole you know, the way the whole album went,
with the label and.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
All that shit. You know, I was never like happy
about it.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
It's not like some of your cheesy anthems out there.
I'm not going to name any names, right, but this
one fucking what has called response?

Speaker 5 (28:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (28:49):
Response, of course, of course.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
Listen.

Speaker 15 (28:51):
I appreciate the song one thousand percent, especially when I
know what other people feel about it. You know what
I'm saying, And it happens like that as an artist,
like everything that you do, you know a lot of
times some shit that you may think me crazy.

Speaker 12 (29:04):
Some you know it won't hit like that, but then
it'll be.

Speaker 15 (29:07):
Something else to they like, Yo, I fucking love that joint.

Speaker 9 (29:10):
We'll keep it moving. But I will say, because you
said that was like one of the last songs you
guys recorded was pops over here.

Speaker 12 (29:15):
It might have been the last song, the last song.

Speaker 10 (29:18):
And it was really like the perfect single.

Speaker 9 (29:20):
So it's kind of crazy how after seventeen eighteen nineteen
tracks that you did, the last song you recorded was
the lead single for the album. It's a summer album,
so like it was a quintessential summer single. With that said,
let's get next track. Hell Racer one of my my.

Speaker 10 (32:48):
You set off the track.

Speaker 9 (32:49):
And then of course you could help us out a
little bit and tell us about what was Juju really
trying to say with what he said. You know, but
let's get into this track because, like I said, this
is one of my ass favorites. So I'll let you
have the floor.

Speaker 11 (33:03):
But what what part are you talking about that Juju said?

Speaker 9 (33:06):
I mean you were there, right, so you know what
was said and maybe why it was said. I always
took it as that the story about you guys not
having money and you had to take the train, right,
and Fife had made mention right, and then.

Speaker 11 (33:21):
Oh no, how do you know about that?

Speaker 5 (33:24):
Where is that at?

Speaker 11 (33:25):
I think I'm the only one that talked about that
in my head, my.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Jobs, everything, bro.

Speaker 9 (33:29):
He's like a hip hop and now.

Speaker 12 (33:31):
But I gave an interview and talked about that.

Speaker 15 (33:34):
You and Less never talked because me and Less was
the only ones there when Fife with that whole thing
at the train, he was like what y'all doing? We
was like, yo, we're about to go have the train.
He was like word and he he said that this
is riding on the those sucks and all that shit.
It was mad little subliminals going on back then, bro,
Like I could tell you one of one of Tipping
them's biggest songs, and Tip is like talking about me,

(33:56):
and I think Buster says about me too well.

Speaker 10 (34:00):
I remember, didn't you.

Speaker 9 (34:01):
I don't know if it was indirectly, but Juju kind
of made a whole thing about Nikki right, being a
joint that Q Tip wasn't fond of.

Speaker 15 (34:09):
But he How the fuck do you notice you had
to read that interview I did with those dudes were
not ju I remember you coming to me.

Speaker 12 (34:18):
I remember where we was at. We was in a
club and the whole shit bro.

Speaker 15 (34:21):
Like right off of Broadway Man and Bowery, No, not
even Bowery Broadway and like eighth Ave and shit, one
of these little like boutique like you know, just not
a regular club like you gotta know. When we got
in there and I remember seeing him and he was like, Yo,
what's up ass yo?

Speaker 5 (34:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (34:39):
Nah yo, I played Nikki for Tip? Yo? You know nigga,
did you?

Speaker 5 (34:43):
Yo?

Speaker 15 (34:43):
He said this is good, but the rappers whack or whatever,
and I was like what. I was like, Oh, nah,
this nigga can't be talking like bro. I'm trying to
form myself in sound like I'm different because.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
I didn't rhyme like that. All the way you hear
me rhyming on all of.

Speaker 15 (34:59):
This shit is some other shit I started doing because
I was trying to fit in. I was like, damn
this whole I was on some street ship, bro, That's
why Juju even wanted to fuck with me.

Speaker 5 (35:08):
I said one rhyme that I used to always be
my showstopper right.

Speaker 15 (35:11):
Anywhere I went, I could run round round round rhyme,
and this will always be like that one story rhyme
that I hit at everybody, and I just kicked after him.

Speaker 12 (35:20):
The first time he heard me rhyme, he was like,
they'll sign this man up.

Speaker 15 (35:23):
Then he was like, yo, anybody I get you one
like YO, kill him, destroy him, eat him. And I
was like yeah, So I was on that ship.

Speaker 12 (35:30):
So when he told me Tip said that shit, my
whole ship was, Oh, I'm disting you. I'm dissing you.

Speaker 15 (35:35):
I'm gonna be on some some DL some low shit,
but I'm gonna dish you because I don't want to
say it out in the open and cause no beef
amongst everybody and all that shit. So I'm gonna just
sub you crazy, you know what I'm saying. So smooth
on the horns, I was the real butter baby. You
don't even know what that is.

Speaker 9 (35:51):
Of course, that's.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
Nice, you know what I'm saying, like, mad shit, man,
mad shit.

Speaker 15 (35:58):
But I don't know if juw on Hell Raiser was
talking about, well, neody over there?

Speaker 12 (36:04):
What life you're talking about?

Speaker 11 (36:05):
It's pretty aggressive.

Speaker 9 (36:07):
Well he says, you can keep it subliminal because I
don't play Oh no, yeah, came stop.

Speaker 10 (36:12):
Yeah, and we can get down, which is obviously.

Speaker 6 (36:16):
Yeah, you're trying to keep your subliminal because I don't
play myself type clement.

Speaker 12 (36:21):
We can get down, yo, for real.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Yeah, So whatever, kid, what yours? I don't know.

Speaker 12 (36:31):
I don't know. Dre will tell you.

Speaker 13 (36:33):
Well, something you might know about Hell Raiser is when
you guys talk about getting this by an an R.
I'm just curious what label was that in which A
and R are you guys talking about? Let's yeah, yeah,
let's said that he was saying, the ship is whack.

Speaker 12 (36:48):
You got bes, but stop, your ship is whack.

Speaker 11 (36:51):
Exactly, But yo, bro yo, are y'all all men of
your word?

Speaker 5 (36:57):
Man?

Speaker 15 (36:58):
Of course, man, But it was a lot of pressure
on us to be crazy with this album. The label
was putting mad money into us. We was taking mad
time to record that album, like we like doubled our
fucking budget, and everybody was just count on that it
was going to be gold or platinum or something crazy
off rip.

Speaker 12 (37:17):
You know.

Speaker 15 (37:17):
It wound up selling over five hundred thousand copies, you know,
years later.

Speaker 12 (37:21):
But at the time, you know, it was a bunch
of bullshit going on.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
It was just not good man.

Speaker 9 (37:26):
Well, you guys are still young. I mean, what did
you twenty five, twenty six, give a take.

Speaker 12 (37:29):
I came home ninety three we started. Yeah, I was
twenty four.

Speaker 9 (37:32):
Jew might have been.

Speaker 15 (37:33):
Je was the oldest side of the three of us,
so he might have been twenty five. Me and Leuss
was like twenty three twenty four doing the album, and
we were kids. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
It was.

Speaker 15 (37:43):
It was fun, it was girls, it was it was weed,
it was drinking, it was it was good. It was
lots of lots of laughing, you know what I'm saying.
When it was ugly, it was ugly, you know what
I mean? It was ugly, and it never got to
no thing and no physical shit. Me and Lucian had
a little altar, you know, what I'm saying, but I
wouldn't even pursue it, you know what I mean, especially

Speaker 19 (40:27):
Honey team, but no, hoops, I didn't mean to call

Speaker 3 (40:33):
So that's now one of them.

Speaker 19 (40:34):
In your finest seats you the bring the climent team
in Yan Ninus Grandpop's not done.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
He with the mass out nuts coming when.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
The run what's it's no mother fucking kids? You see
that the shame in the game.

Speaker 23 (40:46):
So don't you where to read that?

Speaker 11 (40:56):
Are you right?

Speaker 24 (40:57):
It?

Speaker 25 (41:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (41:18):
At that time it was so especially in New York.
You know, everybody knew everybody, everybody was and then when
you're talking about those type.

Speaker 12 (41:24):
Of people, like the type of music we were doing,
I don't know, it was all like.

Speaker 15 (41:29):
In the family like brand Nubians could fit right in
there and be like the militant pro black version of
native tongue, you know that voice. And we all was
just around each other all the time, man, you know
what I'm saying around each other all the time. And
I think Jules saw Pool pooh Ball was like, yo,
you know I got this joint.

Speaker 12 (41:48):
Come and see if you want to fuck with it?

Speaker 15 (41:49):
And it really that song was like a resurgence for
pool Bob because I remember when he finished spinning, we
all was in the fucking in the in the in
the room, like, oh, Jew was like though, that's the
hottest shit I heard Pa kicking, like I don't even
know since the first joint, you know what I'm saying,
It was a lot of us.

Speaker 11 (42:07):
Feel like that beat was almost made for him.

Speaker 12 (42:10):
Yeah, he killed that.

Speaker 14 (42:11):
So I mean when I hear that song compared to
the others, I'm like, I think they tailored that to puba.

Speaker 13 (42:16):
Well, here's the thing about that particular song and the
beat Nuts in general, is they have a certain way
of finding the perfect sample. Now, honky Tonk, which was
sampled off of Bill Dogget, is short and sweet, but
all the work well, it goes the distance of the
entire song and it just has that movement and it
keeps the track hype the entire way through. I love

(42:39):
this one. It was like the perfect parallel kept me
going the whole way because the Beatnuts had this like
perfect way of taking either a four bar or an
eight bar loop. And if it can actually stand the
song for the entire way through without getting dropped out,
you know, it's another beat Nuts perfect sample. And I'm
pretty sure you guys do it three maybe four times

(42:59):
on this record. Cret I love this showing bro, Yeah,
this one's special.

Speaker 9 (43:03):
I feel like you got.

Speaker 14 (43:04):
Poopa at the right time too, because he was he
was on fire at that time. Well he dropped Real
to Real and great album. Yeah, and then and like
you said, this was the hardest we heard Puba in
a minute.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
So hey, no matter no matter what you're doing, no
matter where you are, when fucking Less goes dud, dude,
if you don't sing along to that ship, then you're not.

Speaker 11 (43:31):
He let me in so good too. I felts yo.

Speaker 15 (43:35):
See that's what I'm talking about. When Ship was fun,
it was fucking fun, like doing like when we would
do songs like that, like going off of the back
of each other, like and I don't even know what
I'm gonna do until Less does is doom boom boo,
and I'm.

Speaker 13 (43:49):
Like, just there's only one other group that can do that.
That's The Licks. When they say.

Speaker 11 (43:55):
I love sports, I mean that's similar.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
That's good.

Speaker 11 (43:58):
Yeah, that's already.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (44:00):
You guys always got compared to the and vice versa.
You were like the East Coast the Licks. And I
think it's because a year before you guys dropped, you know,
Street Level, they came out for twenty one and Over,
which is a very similar album in tails of like
fun drinking girls and whatnot.

Speaker 11 (44:15):
So no skips, no skits, no doubt.

Speaker 12 (44:19):
Those was my dudes. Those are my dudes.

Speaker 9 (44:21):
Man, did you ever have to like kind of curb
your writing on this album just to kind of like
keep I don't want to say, like outshine the others,
because I mean, you know, I'm being fairly blunt when
I think majority of people look at you as the
wordsmith of the group.

Speaker 10 (44:36):
But did you ever have to curb that so you
didn't shine too much?

Speaker 15 (44:41):
I'm gonna tell you, man, I like what I mentioned
before with like trying to fit in, let the horns blow,
and trying to like sound different, you know what I mean,
and not just that street you know, like the way
I used to run.

Speaker 12 (44:54):
It was totally different.

Speaker 11 (44:55):
Man.

Speaker 15 (44:55):
One day, I'm like, I think on this album, I'm
gonna put that verse on there, just the verse that
I'm talking about, just as like a reminder to like
people that used to hear me rhyme and all of
that type of shit. I was living totally different. So
it led right into this album. I really was trying
to find myself.

Speaker 12 (45:10):
On this album.

Speaker 15 (45:11):
This album is when I found you know, when I
realized I'm only gonna rhyme on stuff that I love
that I feel in my chest that as soon as
I hear the beat, I can hear a cadence, I
can hear a hook and all that type of shit.
I didn't adhere to that fucking you know, hold on
to that, you know, until all the way until like
later on years later.

Speaker 12 (45:32):
But that that it's magic, man, Yeah, And that that
was just one of those joints.

Speaker 15 (45:38):
And man, it's crazy, bro, holy shit, Like we went
through that shit, We did that shit.

Speaker 12 (45:44):
You know, people still like that shit.

Speaker 15 (45:46):
My kids bug out because my kids were young, and
then I have even younger, younger kids, so it's like
when they see shit on Instagram and you know, on
YouTube and they go they're like, you know, it bugs
them out. And then sometimes I feel like that, like, damn, yo,
that was crazy?

Speaker 5 (46:02):
Was that me doing all of that ship?

Speaker 13 (46:04):
So how was it the first time when you're listening
in the back of a car with a kid and
all your hear is this, mother.

Speaker 9 (46:10):
It's the way. Wait, I.

Speaker 12 (46:16):

Speaker 10 (46:24):

Myself. I got nothing to.

Speaker 20 (49:25):
Coming through your.

Speaker 13 (49:39):
Yeah, that's funny. It's my least favorite on the album. Man,
get out here, listen. I tell you no, listen, listen.
Let me tell you something that's one of those joints man,
that I was a fan of the Beat big time,
but I had to make myself right to that ship man.

Speaker 9 (49:58):
And that's why I asked you a few minutes ago
if you had an er as the way you cause
because I was.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
Already in that mode.

Speaker 12 (50:06):
Listen, that's the question.

Speaker 5 (50:07):
Listen.

Speaker 15 (50:07):
I was already in that mode, you know what I'm
saying and doing the first solo stuff, and the ship
would see. I was already in that mode, and then
I was trying to come out of that mode on
the album and be ill, but I can only That's
why sometimes to me like I'm like or some other shit,
and then sometimes it's.

Speaker 12 (50:23):
Like regular super Bad. I was like regular on super Bad.

Speaker 9 (50:25):
That's exactly why I'd asked that question, because I don't
want to say it's like it was dumb down. But
it wasn't like the fast regular.

Speaker 12 (50:32):
It was regular.

Speaker 9 (50:33):
It was regular, It was simple. It was simple to
kind of like stay in that in that as Dre
would say that lane so to speak, who.

Speaker 15 (50:40):
Said that three sixty Universal said that that was one
of his least right, super Bad would fall into and
it's not many songs in there, but that would fall
into my lower like as far as what I'm like, yo,
I want to play like I don't have to skip
through it because the beat is just so crazy and
you can like deal with it for those three minutes
or whatever. But that wouldn't be one of the joints

(51:01):
that I would pick to play or to make you like, Yo,
I'm gonna take joints of for this album and add
to my playlist.

Speaker 12 (51:06):
Super Bad.

Speaker 13 (51:07):
No, it didn't have the memorable moments, and it didn't
have that perfect sample like we were saying. It didn't
even have the right hook or the key phrases in it.

Speaker 5 (51:14):
That's not no.

Speaker 13 (51:15):
It floated for me, man. I mean, I wouldn't have
skipped it, but it just didn't do it like the
rest of them.

Speaker 9 (51:20):
My favorite I concur who did the cuts and missus Sinister.

Speaker 12 (51:25):
Oh yeah, sinister Joey did Joey.

Speaker 11 (51:27):
That's the best part of the song to me, Yeah,
Joey cuts.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
See that song actually reminds me So I had this
buddy I played baseball with back in the day I
was in high schoolhen this album dropped and his name
was Chip Dunn, and Chip always had the fucking Illis
system in his car.

Speaker 17 (51:42):
Right.

Speaker 4 (51:42):
He was just that kid that had the ship that
banged the hardest, and super Bad would fucking.

Speaker 28 (51:47):
Like just destroy the car and obviously fried Chicken, which
we'll get to. But super Bad fucking hit Bro.

Speaker 11 (51:58):
Memories of it, tru show all day.

Speaker 12 (52:06):
Oh that's crazy.

Speaker 13 (52:08):
Now the next song is interesting. Straight Jacket. Now, this
wasn't one of my favorites on the album, but there
was something in one of the samples that bugged me out.
In the actual intro of the song, there was like
a sound effect that reminded me of like this uh
scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Uh, that

(52:29):
Mike TV scene when he got zapped into like a
million pieces and he was floating above everybody.

Speaker 11 (52:34):
Oh why why is he taking so long? A million
pieces take a long time to put together.

Speaker 13 (52:41):
Where are they?

Speaker 9 (52:41):
There's definitely something coming through it, but.

Speaker 11 (52:44):
It's hard to tell.

Speaker 12 (52:45):
But I.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
My little Grover is getting small.

Speaker 23 (52:58):
Wild check that after.

Speaker 10 (53:23):
But that's nasty.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
That's what I'm about.

Speaker 19 (53:25):
I say, I'm talking like a Chevy but gets no
hard straight from December it's everywhere based like frond what's up?

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Because you forgot who I was left on the beat.

Speaker 19 (53:33):
That's not just shock from the buzz a crazy hispanic
don't need a manic drap words of the beats, no
static back flips with the hips. After show you say, yeah,
you be rips and people don't get treat a girl
like a puppet. Stick my fingers and nuts but choking
food and smoking but choking strong man, bring me back

That's less of a beat, more of a piano, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:09):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, hell yeah.

It's another one of those loops.

You got about three or four on this record. It's
a perfect, perfect loop.

Speaker 15 (01:03:19):
Le Lets didn't want to do it. That's why he's
only on there as a bridge between Juju and myself.
You know, you wanted to do it, but that's what
he had for it, because we just went on what
we felt, Yo. That joint came like right there, I
heard that beat. J made that shit, and it was
some more of the bullshit going on too between, like
you know how many bat two is using on the album,

gotta do this shit. That's why my shit is so long.
That shit just came out. I mean that, it was
just nothing to talk about. And then when Less did
his little shit, I was like, wait a minute. Then
Juju did his fart yo. Every Yo, whenever we went
on tour, everywhere we went, everybody always used to tell, yo,
why is.

Speaker 12 (01:04:02):
It let off a couple making a video. Why isn't
it a full song?

Speaker 17 (01:04:07):
Yo?

Speaker 11 (01:04:08):
You performing?

Speaker 14 (01:04:11):
There's a lot to be said for having a short
song like that To leave people want more, you got
to have a song or two like that on the
album that's short but really good, leave you want more.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
That's one of those songs that you could be having
a terrible day and you put it on, man, and
you can restart your day from that song. But you know,
you know what's interesting is back then, right I just checked.
It's a minute and forty two seconds back then. That's like, damn,
that's like an interlude. Right, But if you look at
some of the shit that they're dropping out today, you know,
some of these cats that are dropping that's a full

(01:04:43):
fucking song. So y'all were ahead of your time with
that shit.

Speaker 5 (01:04:45):
Man.

Speaker 13 (01:04:46):
Even to take it a step further, keV as producers
man to do those short little snippets, that's kind of
that's the originality of a Beating Nuts record, the same
way the Bomb Squad had their own like little originality
and WA had their originality of how they did things.
The Beating Uts would put these snippets on that were
these short little throwaways. But shit, that is like amazing

(01:05:09):
genius to another person's record, and they were.

Speaker 4 (01:05:12):
Like nothing, It's fantastic. One of my favorite tracks on
the album. And like I said, man, you could you
could be in a terrible mood, play that song and
restart your day from there and you'll be all right.

Speaker 5 (01:05:23):
I love it.

Speaker 9 (01:05:23):
Bro goes back to the sequencing because after this is
Rick's joint, and I think Rick was your manager at
the time.

Speaker 12 (01:05:30):
Now Rick is is abum man. He's from the hood,
like he and I used to be.

Speaker 15 (01:05:35):
At like hang together crazy every day playing video games.
But then he was from you know, right from Juju's block,
you know what I'm saying. So it was just like natural,
like Rick Man always taking care of business. A shout
to Corona and I'm out with the quickness.

Speaker 13 (01:05:51):
I know.

Speaker 10 (01:05:51):
A lessons from Jackson Heights.

Speaker 12 (01:05:53):
Less was less was a story.

Speaker 9 (01:05:55):
Le's was a story. Why not think it was Jackson Heights.

Speaker 12 (01:05:58):
Because they right there?

Speaker 9 (01:06:00):
Okay? And where are you? Where are you from?

Speaker 15 (01:06:02):
I was on first I lived in Flushing on Colviing,
you know what I'm saying, Because I moved from the
Bronx two Queens and then I moved to Elmhurst Side,
like my Newtown High School and off of dit Man
and Whitney like ninetieth Street on the seventh train, you

Speaker 12 (01:06:18):
So I was right there.

Speaker 15 (01:06:19):
We was all right around each other. Me and Juju
and I went to high school together. You know what
I'm saying. We ain't fuck with each other in high school.
We ain't really you know, I don't even know I
can recall one, you know, time of seeing him. It's
a crazy thing, but that's the only time I could
really recall him in school, like really really being around him. Yeah,
we didn't really have no interaction in high school. It
was it was crazy shit in the high school because

(01:06:39):
it was always like Hispanics against blacks in the high school.

Speaker 12 (01:06:42):
And I was always on the like straddling the fence,
you know what I'm.

Speaker 15 (01:06:45):
Saying, because like my mom's side is here, she's black,
wet with Cuban and Puerto Rican and then you know
what I mean, Like yeah, so it was like, yo,
I'm cool with everybody else.

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
So so real quick, while we're on that topic about
where you were, and you know, said Bronx and and
the queens, and you know, I got to asked, is
does the be that's allegiance lie with the Yankees or
the Mets.

Speaker 15 (01:07:06):
I don't know how deep Juwe and lesson into that,
but Miley, I love the Mets.

Speaker 12 (01:07:15):
I'm not. I love the Mets, and I moved to Queens.
They won in eighty six.

Speaker 5 (01:07:22):
I was there.

Speaker 15 (01:07:22):
I lived by say Stadium, well not too far was
always it was right there.

Speaker 12 (01:07:26):
It was like iconic and.

Speaker 15 (01:07:28):
You know, I saw them win it. Bro I saw
the team the read so I have a crazy love
for them. The Jets too. The Jets used to play
in say Stadium, and I remember Muchard Todd and the
New York sack Ee changed.

Speaker 5 (01:07:40):
I loved them.

Speaker 12 (01:07:42):
Yeah that was the quarterback man.

Speaker 5 (01:07:47):
Yeah, Ryan Old Lions.

Speaker 11 (01:07:49):
Bad, Thomas Blair, Thomas ow too out all day out too.

Speaker 15 (01:07:55):
One of the greatest is the head fucked, the headaches
and the concussions for you didn't have had crazy numbers.

Speaker 12 (01:08:02):
But now I'm a Yankee all day man. I'm a
Yankee at the end of the day.

Speaker 5 (01:08:05):
If I had the truths, I'm a giant fan if
I had the truth.

Speaker 4 (01:08:09):
So you had the Dwight Gooden poster on the wall,
but Dway came down cheating, but it became darteatic so.

Speaker 13 (01:08:15):
Yo in the nineties, wouldn't you say, like the majority
of songs at that time, the bpms were about ninety
five ninety six as far as the tempo and on
Rick's joint, it was actually one of the slower songs
temple wise that you guys actually recorded before. And for me,
you know, having that real lazy and smooth thing. It

(01:08:36):
just goes into how deep they went with how they
sample beats, because at that time people were really just
ripping the straight beat loops, you know. And the fact
that you guys went deep where I should say ju
and less went deep in the sample of this particular song. Now,
this is an old movie that they sample from.

Speaker 5 (01:08:54):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:08:54):
It was an old Frank Sinatra film, Lady in Cement.
And I got to tell you the.

Speaker 9 (01:08:59):
Fact that you.

Speaker 13 (01:09:03):
Yes, crazy mound track records back in the early nineties.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):

hear on the Death to your ear so have no
fair complan to hear you. There's no dream of the machines,
the fader of the side fader, no meaning of the world.

same vindary, but you don't get.

tipping the mused and somebody else flipped it another way.
They flipped it another way for for Naj, but we
did it the same exact way. Though our ship was

(01:13:38):
more musical in theirs, I would say this ship was
more the way it is, and our ship was it
was a little bit different from that.

album for sure, hands down.

Speaker 11 (01:22:59):

Speaker 13 (01:22:59):
It's just got that bounce all the way through the
whole song.

Speaker 15 (01:23:02):
Hoie just the way yo listen see That's one of
them joys that they're talking myself. You know what I'm saying,
Like you get like to me, you could tell the

Cy LLL Scratch made an album off of one song,
like every song was where my homies or my homies at.
So I didn't know. I thought you were just making
another song, another song about props. I got to do that, Jay,
They made songs about homies. So I'm thinking you guys

They're great.

I mean it just was in the vocabit.

Speaker 11 (01:24:41):

Speaker 3 (01:28:24):
That was plus one, like get that old cools.

Speaker 6 (01:28:27):
Down, got your finger, but when your mind just like
that red light beat, I'm gonehie, make weight on the
is the real super fly?

Speaker 13 (01:28:35):
Yeah? You gotta thank Roy Airs here. This is another
example of that perfect sample that goes from start to finish.
The twelve inch came in strong. You had get funky
on one side and on the flip you had hit
me with that, so that basically gave you a two.

Speaker 9 (01:28:48):
Fer on this one.

Speaker 13 (01:28:49):
What did you guys think?

Speaker 5 (01:28:50):
I love love This is one of my joints, man, like, I.

Speaker 13 (01:28:55):
Love this and the line that stuck with me. I
still say it to this day. I walk into work
and my brother's a sports fanatic, so I always bring
it out every now and then, trying to get money.
Like Felipe Lopez, Acky.

Speaker 5 (01:29:08):
I was a homie too. That was our homie, man,
Philip Man.

Speaker 13 (01:29:12):
I'm like, yo, how they referenced Saint John's players.

Speaker 15 (01:29:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And he's Dominican man, jus Dominican.

Speaker 12 (01:29:20):
That's why he did that, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 11 (01:29:23):
Yeah, legend in New York City from what I understand,
of course he was.

Speaker 15 (01:29:27):
He definitely was. He did his thing, man, he made
a name for himself. You know, it's unfair that he
had all that pressure on him, the you know, Dominican
Michael Jordan, and he's gonna you know what I'm saying
that it fucked him up.

Speaker 12 (01:29:40):
That pressure is.

Speaker 5 (01:29:42):
Everybody's not built for that ship man, but he can
ball though he can.

Speaker 9 (01:29:46):
He was like the Brian Taylor of a basketball Ryan
Taylor from the Yankees.

Speaker 4 (01:29:52):
All the pressures Bryan Taylor yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:29:54):
When when when? Tell me when?

Speaker 11 (01:29:56):
When was when was he?

Speaker 5 (01:29:56):
When did he play.

Speaker 9 (01:30:00):
Like the number one overall pick? And he was supposed
to be like the next Dwight Gooden and he had
all this pressure on him and.

Speaker 15 (01:30:05):
All right, I was about to say he was a picture.
He was a picture, right, he was supposed to be crazy. Yeah, yeah,
that's some people can't deal with that shit.

Speaker 11 (01:30:13):
Man.

Speaker 15 (01:30:13):
They might still have the talent, but the mental is
the most That's the biggest thing, even with music.

Speaker 11 (01:30:18):
Man.

Speaker 12 (01:30:19):
You know what I'm saying, that mental, if you ain't
got that lock in, you're gonna be fucked up.

Speaker 15 (01:30:22):
You might be a crazy m see that can't make
songs or you know, you can hear the loops.

Speaker 5 (01:30:27):
But can't put them together, right, Yeah, Yeah, it's crazy. Man.

Speaker 9 (01:30:31):
When you guys made Get Funky, did you know right
away that this was going to be one of the
hits off the album?

Speaker 11 (01:30:36):
You don't hear Juju?

Speaker 12 (01:30:37):
We was getting fucked up doing that song.

Speaker 5 (01:30:39):
When he came with that beat, bro, it was like.

Speaker 15 (01:30:43):
Yo, that's why he says the Bata song like the
drunk song.

Speaker 5 (01:30:47):
You know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, nah, I love
that joint man.

Speaker 14 (01:30:51):
That that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:53):
Oh another movie.

Speaker 12 (01:30:58):
Let me ask you something.

Speaker 15 (01:30:59):
Let me ask you some then y'all keep it a
real I know y'all love props everybody, whatever, whatever, whatever,
But you telling me, if we come out first we
get Sunky that's the first single.

Speaker 9 (01:31:10):
It should have been.

Speaker 12 (01:31:14):
Nothing, Yo, listen. We would have killed everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:31:17):
We would have killed.

Speaker 3 (01:31:18):
Four side fucking h alcohol Rick.

Speaker 15 (01:31:24):
But what's my boys from the bay Man hieroglyphics, So
everybody would have been successful and they would have did
their thing. Then you know, I'm not saying that they
we would have shut them down, but had done joint
because it would have been that hard ship, you know,
hard ship the music crazy y'all.

Speaker 13 (01:31:42):
Bro, let me just say this. You have to have
a little four play every now and then. You can't
just like throw it all out at one time.

Speaker 15 (01:31:49):
That that could have been four play man, but just
some crazy for play like this is the freakiest.

Speaker 5 (01:31:54):
Thing, Like, yo, what are you doing to me?

Speaker 15 (01:31:57):
Here's we could have followed that up easy here, I
mean with that as a second video like it was,
but it would have hit even harder after that joint, Bro,
we would have killed that shit and we could have
came out with props as like the third joint, but
not we could have came out with like a double
joint because that's what we really wanted to do with
They wouldn't let.

Speaker 12 (01:32:15):
Us do it, like do a half and half of
props and props over here.

Speaker 13 (01:32:18):
Yeah, but with rain of the tech, before the salve
even came out, you guys already carved that niche. So
to me, this was elevating the beating uts on a
production level. It also gave you guys a little bit
of sophistication to your listeners. So basically you weren't just
appealing to the guys in the hood. You know what
I'm saying. I don't mean to be disrespectful, of course.
Now of course, so basically, you guys can be played
like in lounges and things like that, because there's many

(01:32:40):
times people did not want to hear the vocals, but
they'd come up and be like, Yo, what song were
you just playing? You know on the instrumental now?

Speaker 15 (01:32:48):
But yo, that's what I was saying. Three, But about
that song, that song had all the elements we would
have killed it with that and the hard kids, the
kids that liked all of that high roll, false ship
we would have bagged.

Speaker 12 (01:33:01):
Then we had the whole ship with that joint bro.

Speaker 4 (01:33:05):
In every fucking skateboarder from the fucking Kid.

Speaker 5 (01:33:11):
Show.

Speaker 9 (01:33:13):
Why do you think there was a little bit of
a struggle with the choices of the singles, Like did
Chris Lighty, Bust and Peace? Did he have any influence
in what should be the single?

Speaker 11 (01:33:24):
Because it's j knows the story.

Speaker 12 (01:33:26):
He knows the story.

Speaker 15 (01:33:27):
You know, you know, you know the story. We're in
Sony Relativity offices. Yeah, the album is done, is just
handed in. Everybody's loving it. They're anticipating it's gonna be crazy.
So we go in this fucking conference room. Chris is
with us, you know, Jude Less, myself, Peter King, Alan
Grown Black.

Speaker 12 (01:33:47):
So we're in the room.

Speaker 15 (01:33:49):
We're talking like, Yo, what's the single? So we already
on give Funky hit me with that like Memphis Crazy.
It's like, Yo, we're coming with that whole we can
get him in a video. We do give Funky fort
where we're killing everybody.

Speaker 12 (01:34:01):
It's over. So they were like Chris was like we
told him that.

Speaker 15 (01:34:05):
He's like, Yo, I think it's some props man props,
which props you talking about?

Speaker 14 (01:34:10):
What?

Speaker 5 (01:34:10):
Nah?

Speaker 15 (01:34:11):
Man, Nah man, no way, bro, He's like your hold
on him and tell you tip. He calls calls tip yo,
tip man. When I let you hear everything, What did
you say?

Speaker 5 (01:34:21):
Yo? What do you think?

Speaker 15 (01:34:22):
He's like, Nah, you know his tips voice, props are
in you know what I'm saying, that's the joint and
I'm like, props. So now Chris knew what he was
doing though, getting the label heads in there. The guys,
that's gonna so they hear Q Tips saying that Chris
Lighty's saying that Q tip is you know they cannot
kick it. They destroying shit. At the time you understand

(01:34:45):
what I'm saying. He listens to him and they're like, Yo,
props over here, and that was it. We were like, Yo,
fuck y'all man, fuck y'all.

Speaker 11 (01:34:54):
Bro.

Speaker 9 (01:34:55):
I will say though, it's a great song and it
leads to even a better song. Hit me with that.
Here's one thing I want to know before you tell
me about this. Close the door. I don't want your
wife to.

Speaker 5 (01:35:05):

Yeah, Yo, that's it. That's it.

Speaker 15 (01:38:38):
Caused noise in the hood though, bro, because that was
like a load thing that nobody knew and now she
was with certain people and it was feelings and it
was like people acting funny to me.

Speaker 12 (01:38:49):
But I didn't even you know.

Speaker 3 (01:38:51):
It was like, yo, it just can't melt man.

Speaker 13 (01:38:53):
But you could never go wrong with the samples that
were in that song. They were perfect, perfect little you
better ask somebody insane, no, And the way it was
woven in was just insane. I mean with the David
Axelrod sample, you just can't go wrong.

Speaker 5 (01:39:06):
Period.

Speaker 11 (01:39:07):
Next up, Jay, well, no.

Speaker 9 (01:39:09):
I figure maybe he had a story or two he
wanted to share.

Speaker 12 (01:39:12):
It just thinking about that joint man like, oh no,
I settled up with that man.

Speaker 15 (01:39:23):
I had already started something madness after I said that
it was crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:39:28):
I loved the video. I loved doing that song.

Speaker 15 (01:39:30):
You and I remember us writing a hook for that song,
like because we both felt that beat when we heard
it the way you know it comes on just to.

Speaker 12 (01:39:43):
Y'all get better. Then that's less get better better? What
was that?

Speaker 5 (01:39:49):
Did you do that? I think less Minea did that
because he's the master putting all that little ship.

Speaker 9 (01:39:53):
In the artice.

Speaker 13 (01:39:53):
That's the ship man. I was trying to get that
every time, but the snare always gotten the way when
I was trying to sample it, and that was like
before you could really like get it clean like that.

Speaker 12 (01:40:02):
Break shit down.

Speaker 9 (01:40:03):
Yeah yeah, yeah, damn you know what.

Speaker 4 (01:40:06):
Let me actually bring in the next song if you
don't mind, Jay two three breaks, So I got to
ask you out. It was was gang Stars, I'm the
man or speak your cloud and inspiration for this song
because yours beat changes for each verse. If I'm not mistaken,
there's three different beats in the song. And that's a

(01:40:26):
similar you know structure to I'm the Man off the
Daily Operation album or Speak Your Cloud, which actually may
have been was hard to earn released after Street Level.
I forget, but I'm the Man was definitely out like
a couple of years before Street Level. So were you
guys using that as kind of like a blueprint for
this song?

Speaker 32 (01:40:58):
You know what?

Speaker 14 (01:40:59):
You know what?

Speaker 21 (01:40:59):
You know what?

Speaker 33 (01:41:00):
You know what?

Speaker 11 (01:41:01):
You know what?

Speaker 9 (01:41:01):
People call me the drunk or the big funk.

Speaker 19 (01:41:04):
Just at the bag your whole store, like my click back,
put a hollow point cap.

Speaker 2 (01:41:09):
We can tell fin get caught it strictly not to
a store puck. I don't know by the buck.

Speaker 19 (01:41:15):
You can't boom it with your gangs. No, look got
trumpeted through this one. My truck with bad when I
broke luve, but they mat up, broke up way out.
And don't try and trunk at ball because it's back.
You made a back like walks off. What the Bronco's
gonna defend? You wear the progressed as sticker. I think
if you quick defens carts went up on my decks
because she gave me a wedding.

Speaker 2 (01:41:35):

Speaker 3 (01:43:39):
Get money. You know what I'm saying, want to work
worth I'm a down.

Speaker 15 (01:43:47):
What I know from that song is we we were
at a point where all of us liked some beats
that were played for each one of us liked the
different joint. Okay, So I think Less came up with
that whole idea of going to two three break.

Speaker 12 (01:44:01):
So I don't know where his influence came on.

Speaker 15 (01:44:02):
But I think less even as the one that was like, yo,
I got these beats, I think jew like Yo, we're
gonna do this. It wasn't even a thing of like yo,
we like him, what should we do? It was the
other way around. Let's just was like yo, and he
already had that two three break shit. So I don't
know he could have been influenced.

Speaker 13 (01:44:19):
By that, but I you know, I would have been
pissed if I were you. Man, why because I gotta
tell you this, Juju gave himself a layup man. That
Juju's beat is so fucking good. That was It's like
a tipping man. You could not fuck it up. And
here's the thing. Everyone else's beat was good, just.

Speaker 5 (01:44:42):
Not that good.

Speaker 12 (01:44:43):
Y'all gonna tell you, I picked my beat out of
the ones that was there. I picked that beat.

Speaker 23 (01:44:48):
I like that.

Speaker 12 (01:44:49):
I felt so.

Speaker 15 (01:44:52):
Like that beat to me felt like a rock Kim
beat man. I swear to god, it just felt like
something I could hear rock Kim Rayman on. You know
what I'm saying. My little brother, like we we grew
up our family and wine dance. They knew rock him.
So I was like a super fan of his, you know,
what I'm saying. Him and my like one of my cousins,
second cousin's father was like, that's homies or whatever. So

(01:45:14):
he was around and ship. You know what I'm saying.
That beat reminded me of rock him. I just picked
out like I had the rhyme on that beat. I
felt it, you know what I'm saying. It was like
effortless to me. But I will admit by far, you
has the best beat.

Speaker 11 (01:45:28):
He that I love.

Speaker 15 (01:45:29):
When he came in he played his ship, I was like, Yo,
what the fun? One of the rhyme when that ship
made me wanted to run.

Speaker 9 (01:45:39):
You got that ship beat?

Speaker 16 (01:45:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:45:49):
You know, for me, this is number four, the hardest
song on the album, number four, what straight Won, two three?

Speaker 5 (01:45:57):
Break Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:46:00):

Speaker 9 (01:50:54):

to hear a song like this shut the door, Yeah,
shut that his.

Speaker 13 (01:51:02):
Girls like yo, I just brought you four drinks and
this is how you treat me.

Speaker 9 (01:51:06):
Explained to us why you made this, Explained to us
what was going through your mind when you made this?

Speaker 15 (01:51:13):
And out listen as a young dude, and I tell
people this too, man espec Sale my kids, Like when
I look back now, and I know, like I think
about the situation we were in, the type of money
that was being dealt around, like the just the machine
that we were a part of. It's a crazy thing, man,
to be in that world and to be around other

(01:51:33):
people and you wan on TV it was just an
ill type of joint.

Speaker 9 (01:51:35):
Man.

Speaker 12 (01:51:36):
I didn't take that shit. You.

Speaker 15 (01:51:37):
All I thought about, bro, was the girls I was
gonna get and going on tour. Man, I swear to god,
I wasn't thinking about your make relationships with people. Those
people that I was around, bro, that liked me as
a person and all that shit, and I didn't pursue.
I didn't become cool with them. I didn't get them
on my solo album. When I did my shit, I
could have had mad people on my shit that I

(01:51:59):
was around. Bro, I was around, you know, seeing big,
I was around to Reek, you know, a black door
from the roots like other motherfuckers chilled with meth and
all that I could have. But I was so just yo,
doy songs, Fuck these girls, go perform, do these songs,
go perform, fuck these girls whatever all do.

Speaker 5 (01:52:18):
You want to do it?

Speaker 15 (01:52:18):
Do the songs first. And I wasn't thinking about shit, man.
So that song was me making sure that my do
these songs, do these shows and funk the girls was
gonna go down like I'm gonna pique your interests.

Speaker 11 (01:52:30):
This is what I do.

Speaker 12 (01:52:32):
I'm nasty blah. That was the sole reason I did
that song.

Speaker 5 (01:52:35):
Bro.

Speaker 13 (01:52:36):
Now we know why Relativity and Chris Lighty chose Props
as your first single because they were scared you were
going to choose this one as your first single and
that wasn't going to happen.

Speaker 9 (01:52:47):
Was this recorded before, like you know how you you
were gonna have your own album that was supposed to
come out prior to this, or was this recorded during
the session for Street Level Now.

Speaker 15 (01:52:58):
It was recorded during the street A session, but I
think that beat might have been around from that time.
You understand what I'm saying. I think I might have
heard the loop. I know I had it the album
that it was on and all that shit, and I
wanted to do a song to that, to it, not
flipped the way Less flipped it, you know what I'm saying.
But you know, he just did it how I did it.

(01:53:18):
But I had heard some different to it. But when
he did this, it was like, oh, yeah, I remember
that shit. I gotta get Yeah, I gotta do this shit.

Speaker 10 (01:53:25):
So whose idea was it for it to be a
solo joint?

Speaker 12 (01:53:29):
It was just one of them joints I wanted to do.

Speaker 15 (01:53:31):
And I don't think anybody like you know, like you
don't really hear less on let off a couple.

Speaker 12 (01:53:35):
It was a feeling thing like now you go ahead,
that's what that's what you do.

Speaker 15 (01:53:38):
You know you gotta have that joint. Go ahead, I
know you want to get it off. We ain't gonna
do that. We on some hard you know, some other
type of shit. That's just shit.

Speaker 5 (01:53:47):
You can be that being cool, fast benches and all that.

Speaker 9 (01:53:50):
Well, I'm gonna say Now everybody could pull that off.

Speaker 12 (01:53:52):
I mean exactly, I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:53:54):
Let's talked about the same topic quite often.

Speaker 9 (01:53:57):
Yeah, but now he'd like like, lesson is not on here,
But I'll tell him he doesn't have that like that
Big Daddy kings, no suave. The next joint, you're not
on it sandwiches, which is another short joint, which is
like a buck thirty or something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:54:13):
It's a it's a fun little track joint, sandwich sandwiches.

Speaker 23 (01:54:18):
Oh love that.

Speaker 11 (01:54:21):
Love goes on down unpod.

Speaker 9 (01:54:56):
Y'all.

Speaker 16 (01:54:56):
It's like this, y'all.

Speaker 19 (01:54:59):
The ball and take a piss, y'all, slink up, pop
the beep right up, burn the paddlewick to see me
on your ship. Don't fuck with the channel with the
antela god, slap a funky more than I on the
pss cock back my copy then blast don't got two

Speaker 2 (01:55:19):

Speaker 19 (01:55:26):

bitch home, it fuck a hard run my hotspit side today,

little pass like a sode kick for the lames down

Fuss it.

Speaker 19 (01:55:43):
I make bitches, make my sandwiches and scratch myers.

Speaker 13 (01:55:47):
One of that chance, now, was this song like the
intro for Cycle Dwarf because you use the same sample,
it's like the same thing in both songs and the
girl saying good on down. So I wasn't sure if
it was like an interlude you guys used before the
Cycle Dwarf song.

Speaker 12 (01:56:04):
No, no, no, that was that was Less man.

Speaker 9 (01:56:06):
He came with us.

Speaker 15 (01:56:07):
He already he already had his ship, like it was
basically already done. And some ship he did at home,
and we heard that ship. I think I heard it
first and then you heard it, and it was like,
oh nah, that should joint. I don't want to funk
with you like you killed it. We love it to
beat everything done done.

Speaker 13 (01:56:27):
I was so confused when Less came up with the
line flipping through loops like a lunatic dolphin. Where the
fuck did that come from?

Speaker 12 (01:56:35):
Joints.

Speaker 13 (01:56:35):
I mean, that was like some scratch your head ship.

fan upset fan.

Speaker 16 (01:59:57):
Fan fan.

Speaker 15 (02:00:18):
But you gotta understand a dolphin we we more than
likely a dolphin was something that we called somebody like
it stood for something.

Speaker 12 (02:00:28):
That's why he said that.

Speaker 15 (02:00:29):
Like we used to call people ali gott, which is
a wrench in Spanish. If somebody came around fucking ship
up like or fucking up the moon, we'd be like, yo,
got there right here, or parachutes fresh bagels. People like Lucian.
We used to tell them that all the time that
he was jumping into people's conversations, you had no business
getting there, So we'll be like yo, this dude's doing parachutes.

Speaker 6 (02:00:49):
Bro.

Speaker 12 (02:00:51):
We were saying jumping out the window and all our.

Speaker 15 (02:00:53):
Ship back then before it was a thing like to
be saying that ship like, Yo, this dude's a window trumper.

Speaker 12 (02:01:00):
Yo. Look at this shit like.

Speaker 15 (02:01:01):
Fresh bangles, like you fresh coming in here, miney of business,
get out. Don't tell us what we should do with
this song. So I think the dolphin thing was one
of those things. It was cold for something else.

Speaker 12 (02:01:12):
It made sense to us.

Speaker 15 (02:01:14):
Peter King used to always tell us, like, Yo, y'all
be saying like metaphors and shit that's from y'all own sling.

Speaker 5 (02:01:20):
Nobody else is going to understand that shit. He used
to tell us all the time, Bro, Like y'all know
what you're talking about.

Speaker 12 (02:01:26):
Other people don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 13 (02:01:27):
This is just a crazy song. I mean, halfway through
the track they dropped this beat that's like the hardest
beat on the entire album, but there's no rhyming. It's
like just an instrumental. It's like being stuck in the
middle of the ocean and you shoot a flair gun
hoping for a rescue and there's no one coming out.
Somebody needed to get on that beat and no one did.
It's just alone by itself. Yes, there's no sample in it.

(02:01:52):
It's just like really hard drums and it's like a
fallen soldier being left to die.

Speaker 4 (02:01:58):
Oh so I gotta say Psychodor. My feelings on that
song is it's it's in the top five on the album,
and to me, it's like the exclamation point on the album, right.
I mean, I think it's kind of on your EP
right before it is level it is, but it just
reinforces it's the exclamation point, dude, because the whole album

(02:02:21):
just like I said, no skips and then just boom
smacking the face at the end. And I got to
ask you because the song goes on for like a
minute and a half after it ends, and then someone
burps at the very end.

Speaker 9 (02:02:33):
Who'se burp?

Speaker 24 (02:02:35):
Is that?

Speaker 17 (02:02:38):
That?

Speaker 12 (02:02:40):
That might be Less Man? It was I could see
doing that ship man.

Speaker 9 (02:02:46):
You know what I'm talking about? Though, y'all remember that.

Speaker 15 (02:02:49):
Yeah, I can see Less doing that. I think I
even remember him doing it. It's like vague, but it's like, yo,
you just did that.

Speaker 12 (02:02:56):
Whatever. Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 9 (02:02:58):
This joint was like halftime off Illmatic like this. It
came out the year prior. But it came on and
it was like, just like keV said, it kind of
finished the album put a cherry on top. So we
covered seventeen tracks. I'm gonna ask you for your favorites.
If you have to pick, I always say gun to
the head, right, pick your your one favorite joint off

(02:03:21):
this album, and then after that, tell me if you
could do away with a few tracks, which ones would
they be?

Speaker 5 (02:03:28):
So only one favorite joint?

Speaker 9 (02:03:30):
Pick one favorite, and maybe like two or three that
you could do without.

Speaker 5 (02:03:34):
All right, my one find that's tough, man.

Speaker 10 (02:03:37):
I'll let you pick two favorites and two joints say.

Speaker 4 (02:03:40):
I'll say you could just be like Andre and be like, well,
I'm gonna pick three.

Speaker 15 (02:03:46):
I would say, let off a couple. I would say,
give funky, it's hard man. I love hell Raiser, I
love like fucking fried chicken. I love like I love
hit me with that, no skips, Yes, like I love.
I mean all of this show is Rick's joint. I

(02:04:06):
mean it's just But if I would say those two,
those would be my like, all right, you can't hear
nothing else. Pick two, maybe pick three, and I would
say those two are fried chicken. So let off a
couple give Funky Fried Chicken. It's other shit that's right there.
But if I can only let three people in the door,
those are the three chicks that are getting in. And
then songs that I could do away with it's probably

(02:04:30):
super bad. Would probably be one props with I don't
even want to say that now put the energy out there, wouldn't.
I wouldn't get rid of none of them. But gun
to head, gun to head.

Speaker 5 (02:04:42):
So we're doing it like that gun to heead. So
I'm not putting this energy.

Speaker 12 (02:04:44):
Out props over here. And because I don't like what
I said on the song, because I love the beat,
but I didn't like the I couldn't, I couldn't.

Speaker 15 (02:04:55):
Feel anything to it would be the joint that the
first joint of the album is what I mean, the
second joint after the intro you don't stop, you don't stop,
Like nope, I love it, but I know I didn't
come off the way I wanted to come on.

Speaker 33 (02:05:09):
Now.

Speaker 15 (02:05:09):
I love the beat, he played that shit. I was like, Yo,
this shit is crazy. Oh man, I've did some shit
that I don't like. So that's that always funks. Because
I don't like what I've did to it, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 14 (02:05:21):
Yeah, I got to tell you when we were kicking around, uh,
the idea of doing this, this topic tonight, this first
time we've done this in sixty five episodes. We made
a list amongst each other of albums that we consider
maybe underappreciated jewels, like which ones could.

Speaker 12 (02:05:41):
We break down?

Speaker 11 (02:05:42):
The people will go, oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:05:44):
That one?

Speaker 11 (02:05:45):
And this was a unanimous pick.

Speaker 5 (02:05:48):
That's crazy, bro, unanimous, that's crazy. You're not blowing right now.

Speaker 9 (02:05:53):
I'm thinking you probably finger bang like Shannon to like
in Bloom or come as you are. That's but yeah,

Speaker 10 (02:07:44):
Now back to our program.

Speaker 9 (02:07:47):
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have another special guest.
We have none other than Psycho. Left on the phone
went off, Psycho, Yep, what's good? What's good?

Speaker 5 (02:08:00):
Out?

Speaker 9 (02:08:01):
There, so, as you know, we are celebrating street Level.
And I asked the same question al Tarik, what is
the proper way to call this album because for many
of us at street level. For some it's just the
self title Beating Nuts album. What do you prefer, I mean,
what's the proper way of calling this album, this classic
album by its name?

Speaker 5 (02:08:19):
I mean, we call it street Level.

Speaker 33 (02:08:21):
You know, it's called street level because that's what you
could identify by, you know, is on every cover, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:08:28):
So that just organically came into the shot, right you
guys weren't actually you know, planning on naming it street level.
You're just going back like we like the photo because
of that, right, right, So just organically so.

Speaker 5 (02:08:42):
Yeah, so it just became the you know, the street
title for it. Yeah, but the stores just took it
as the beat Nuts.

Speaker 9 (02:08:51):
Okay, So it was.

Speaker 5 (02:08:53):
Under the beat Nuts. It wasn't under you can't find
it on the street level, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:08:56):
So when you got your check, you know, when you
write your check to the bank, it was under beat Nut's,
not on the street level.

Speaker 5 (02:09:03):
Exactly. There you go.

Speaker 9 (02:09:05):
It's pretty impressive that twenty six years later, here we
are talking about this album, what it really means to
hip hop, what it means to us four right here.
And as I said this earlier to Treak, nineteen ninety
four was one of the most remarkable years in hip
hop history. Period like eighty eight, ninety three, ninety four,
those are the top kind of years. And you guys

(02:09:26):
came out at a time where you had illmatic, you
had ready to die, you know, and your album you know,
I know you're on the phone, so I'm not really
just trying to say this, but your album's right there.
I mean, for many of us, it's one of those
albums that stood the test of time and continues to
age gracefully. I mean, it's a perfect ideal summertime album.

(02:09:46):
I mean, and again here we are talking about it
a quarter century later as how important it is. So
that's got to be really cool for you to know
that your art stood the test of time.

Speaker 5 (02:09:57):
You know.

Speaker 33 (02:09:58):
Oh yeah, hell yeah. You know, I'm saying every day,
I gotta, I gotta. I realized, like yo, that sh
it is ill man. My music just reached people and
ship just a hobby could turn into something serious, you know.
I mean a lot of people like they like take
it or squeeze It, they like Stone Crazy, they like

(02:10:18):
the musical Massacre has a lot of joints on there,
So everybody got their favorite.

Speaker 5 (02:10:25):
My personal is the EP because.

Speaker 4 (02:10:30):
Yeah, the remix, the spot, the original, Yeah, but I.

Speaker 5 (02:10:37):
Also liked the remix.

Speaker 33 (02:10:38):
The remix was kind of we tweaked up everything, made
it made it sound bigger, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:10:43):
I'll be honest, man, I totally forgot about that album
for quite a while until we decided we were going
to make this uh tribute episode. And I was going
through just looking through the Beatnuts catalog and I was like, oh, ship,
that's right, man, they had that fucking remix joint. And
I back and it's it's nice to hear a three
minute version of let off a couple.

Speaker 13 (02:11:04):
So that that itself not only that you guys showcased
the Bodega better than on the plat, you know, like
all those little New York and nundos about the Bodega. Look,
I asked out earlier about the logo, so being being
that you guys flipped the Hank Mobile logo. Was that
something that you did or was it a collective thing?

(02:11:26):
And were you guys just flipping through uh you know,
albums and.

Speaker 33 (02:11:30):
It was actually the art team from from the label
Relativity right and us. We just had a meeting together
with a bunch of jazz books and art joints and
and we just you know, nabbled on them down to
a few and we kind of felt that that little note.

Speaker 6 (02:11:47):
You know.

Speaker 13 (02:11:48):
So it's very rare that the white guys from the
record label to get it right, and that.

Speaker 34 (02:11:52):
Was such an iconic But our our twist was that
we made it red and we called it intoxicated Demons,
and the mean the meanness to it, we turned it mean.

Speaker 11 (02:12:03):
We came up with intoxicated Demons.

Speaker 5 (02:12:07):
I don't remember, it's probably I don't know definitely between us.

Speaker 11 (02:12:12):
I think I gave you the credit.

Speaker 5 (02:12:15):
Oh yeah, well I did. Used to come up with
a lot of crazy ship and.

Speaker 4 (02:12:23):
We were talking to him and any any crazy stories
always had your name tied to him.

Speaker 13 (02:12:28):
Bro, I'm crazier than the next. But you guys were
DJs early on. Were you guys weren't together, but you
guys just dj started out.

Speaker 33 (02:12:38):
Right neighborhood DJs And like I got I got my
first job right like in high school at music Factory
in Manhattan, and that.

Speaker 5 (02:12:48):
Was like the biggest record vinyl store the time.

Speaker 13 (02:12:52):
Yeah, so I actually used to go to Numbers your
way in Junction Boulevard. They Numbers Great great ship over there,
and Rock and Soil of course, uh with some good
early finds back.

Speaker 5 (02:13:05):
In the day.

Speaker 33 (02:13:06):
But yeah, I got that job so I could get
my records half priced. So I was just thinking, like
a DJ, I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna have every record.

Speaker 9 (02:13:15):
The album itself. I know, you and Juju really are
the ones that do the majority of the production. It
sounds like you guys had so much fun making this album.
Just the synergy, the way you kind of guys got,
you know, go back and forth.

Speaker 33 (02:13:30):
That album was a party. Every every session was a party.
It feels like, yo, yo, my boy Lucien was in
town from France. I don't know if you remember Lucien
of course from Yeah, so he was in town.

Speaker 5 (02:13:42):
Yeah, everybody was. We was picking people off the street
and just throwing them in the booth and just having
them singing, doing yoe that's whatever. Any yoh.

Speaker 33 (02:13:52):
There was people ordering food burgers and deluxe burgers or
fries and all that shit. So when they got to
the studio, it would be there already and these are
people that are not even artists. It's like people were
just wild and just just killing budgets. You know, budgets
was crazy back then.

Speaker 9 (02:14:10):
All right, well look let's let's get into the record
because I know you know you got limited time and
we appreciated it. Let's do it.

Speaker 12 (02:14:16):
Let's do it.

Speaker 9 (02:14:16):
So so when the first joint, so obviously the first
is the intro. So we got that, but you don't
stop sets off this record. Yeah, so take us into
the studio during this time. This is the lead into
that I was.

Speaker 33 (02:14:31):
That was That was my boy, paperlut lucy, and that
made the big He used to actually live with me
in the basement, so you know, the whole time he
was in New York, people.

Speaker 11 (02:14:40):
Used to live with me.

Speaker 19 (02:14:42):
I'll come up with this fucking way, get down the
gets here, fuck with the program. I think I stand
and look down with the clip take us a wig,
guys walk up the split us up the time with
the pre nuts fun.

Speaker 2 (02:14:54):
John Wayne got wifile the truck walk.

Speaker 19 (02:14:57):
I don't I won't take you, we won't pay the price.
Stop get the girl's home.

Speaker 33 (02:15:07):
So that was one of his beats that I told him, Yo,
I want that to keep it on, keep it in
the stars. So hard to drap this beat. He dropped
that one.

Speaker 9 (02:15:15):
First of all. I want to know because when you
made this record, and I know that it wasn't in
the order that we heard, Like for instance, I know
pops over here was probably one of the last songs
you guys recorded. Did you know that this was going
to be a banger out the gate when you made it?

Speaker 33 (02:15:29):
I mean we we knew all our beats was bangers
were already halfway there.

Speaker 5 (02:15:34):
We have to do is deliver sh it is fired?

Speaker 9 (02:15:36):
You know. Out of like the songs on the album,
which one I know we're kind of skipping around, but
which one is like your your favorite as far as
like for you like that best represents you.

Speaker 5 (02:15:48):
I like Straight Jacket.

Speaker 33 (02:15:50):
Yeah, it's up tempo, it's funky, it got the sample
in there, the hook, and it's just crazy.

Speaker 13 (02:15:57):
We were talking to Alcherka about this, but I was saying,
and there's like three or four songs that have perfect
samples where you actually go from the beginning to the
very end, and those songs just like flow. They're really
like quintessential nuts. That's really what made your signature.

Speaker 33 (02:16:16):
You know what's another one of my favorite the Props
remix behind Cock.

Speaker 9 (02:16:24):
Yeah, so are you?

Speaker 4 (02:16:26):
Are you part of the group that didn't necessarily want
Props over Here to be your lead single?

Speaker 33 (02:16:34):
Yeah, I mean we didn't care too much about it.
It was a request from the label, so we made
a little joint. We actually had an answering phone, like
a hotline or some shit, and people used to call
and leave us messages and they'll they'll receive prizes and
whatever the hell. But I would listen to those messages

(02:16:54):
and then one kid was like, YO, calling, calling you
up from wherever the fuck I don't know, but Oklahoma
or whatever.

Speaker 5 (02:17:02):
And Yo, you get props over here? So ship that's
our think. I was like, yeah, when I'm out there,
you know what I want to hear here.

Speaker 13 (02:17:12):
It was.

Speaker 10 (02:17:13):
It reminded me a little bit of like a world
tour by Tribe.

Speaker 9 (02:17:16):
And ironically we heard the story where Lighty played this
joint for Tip and Tip was like, this should be
the single. Now, I don't you know, I don't know
if that's what what happened.

Speaker 33 (02:17:27):
I mean, I mean, definitely, Baby Chris was was was
was definitely going back and forth and check playing the
album for people. And you know, but we used to
Me and Juju used to be in the studio with
Tribe and I used to tell I used to tell Juju, yo,
what's up with all this.

Speaker 5 (02:17:44):
Jazzy ship, Like I want to hear some some hot,
some hard ship.

Speaker 13 (02:17:48):
You know, who made you guys who you are?

Speaker 5 (02:17:50):
I mean, you know that's exactly. So that's that's the difference.

Speaker 33 (02:17:53):
Juju just telling me yo, just let these niggas do
what they do when when it's our turn, we're going
to do the hardcore mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (02:18:01):
You kind of mixed the two, so we was we
were doing hardcore to jazz beats.

Speaker 9 (02:18:07):
Exactly, yeah, totally like no equal like you know, and
we flipped the quo sample the tech so.

Speaker 14 (02:18:14):
It made it so great. So you know, one of
the reasons I think Props over Here works for your
single is because it's an anthem. Yeah, the hook is
an anthem. It's a call and response and kind of
like a hip hop array kind of thing, but slowed down,
you know, with more of a street feel to it.

Speaker 4 (02:18:36):
Looking back on it now, I mean, you must be like,
okay that that actually worked. You know, at the time,
you may not have wanted that to be the lead single,
but I think it definitely carves out a carved out
a path for you know.

Speaker 33 (02:18:51):
It was we was definitely We was definitely on some
hard hardcore hip hop ship, hardcore head banging ship.

Speaker 5 (02:18:58):
So so us to do props. It was like, you know,
all right, cool, we'll do.

Speaker 14 (02:19:03):
It Less if it was if they were like, yo, less,
the single is gonna be whatever you say it is
the first single.

Speaker 5 (02:19:11):
What was what would it be for Less off that album?

Speaker 12 (02:19:14):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (02:19:14):
I would have did straight jacket.

Speaker 14 (02:19:16):
Wows just fucking go for the throat right away.

Speaker 5 (02:19:21):
That's it, Boom Juggler.

Speaker 11 (02:19:23):
That's That's one of my four favorites too.

Speaker 9 (02:19:25):
The next joint is hell Raiser, which is pretty fucking
great in itself. I mean, the sequence of this album
is truly phenomenal. But let's get into Hell Raiser because
you have some pretty memorable lines on here, and again,
this is just one of those songs where like you
could just tell you guys are having fun.

Speaker 10 (02:19:42):
So so take us into the.

Speaker 9 (02:19:43):
Studio during this particular day or set and tell us
a little bit more about you know, Hell Raiser, what
went down and you know your thoughts on.

Speaker 33 (02:19:52):
Razor We was just talking about a lot of industry
cats and and and how you know you can't you
can't fool us and you can't you know, we could
see to break through your ship. You know, there was
one line where I say, you see me, and I
see you, but you still want to act like you

(02:20:14):
don't see me. Cool, you know what I'm saying. So
it's like a lot of things, you know, and fast
with saying other things about you know, so it's one
of the leminals, right, yeah, subliminals.

Speaker 9 (02:20:26):
You know, well you mentioned in particular, you know a
year before in A and R diss you and all
that stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:20:32):
Yeah, that was all real. That's all real. Ship. You know,
we wanted who was Tommy Boy was one of them?
Tommy Boy was one of them. That's because I was.
I was. I rolled up there with some dusty cassettes.

Speaker 13 (02:20:46):
That was it tom Silverman or one of the A
and R's it.

Speaker 5 (02:20:48):
Was pow Well, I forgot his name power. It's a
black dude.

Speaker 9 (02:20:55):
Forgot his name, but yeah, wow, Tommy Boy fucked up.

Speaker 5 (02:21:01):
Tommy Boy could have had beaten on some of this ship.

Speaker 33 (02:21:03):
But there was there was like, yeah, the ship sounds
like you know, I was like, yeah, it sounds like
ship because we need to get we need a little
budget to get in the real studio.

Speaker 13 (02:21:13):
Not early on in your career, before you started you know, rapping,
and you were just DJ and I mean you were
a Tommy Boy uh supporter, used to get that early ship.

Speaker 5 (02:21:21):
Yeah, yeah, anything on Tommy Boy, I was right there,
you know, it was it was.

Speaker 33 (02:21:26):
It was one of those labels that if you was
shopping your your demos, that's where you would want to go.

Speaker 10 (02:21:32):
Was there any other labels that you care to share.

Speaker 5 (02:21:34):
With us that maybe, uh, Priority Priority, I remember that label.
I hit them up. I try to get to get
them to hear some Beating Nuts demos and a few
uh you know.

Speaker 33 (02:21:46):
And then finally Baby Chris through through Africa from Jungle
Brothers heard the demos and he liked them. So he
was like, you know what, let's take all those demos
and let's make those songs for Chi Ali. Actually that
Ali album is our demos.

Speaker 5 (02:22:02):
Yeah. First, all those songs that singing like we sang them,
so essentially.

Speaker 9 (02:22:08):
That was your debut album, right, and then you had
the EP and the EP was cut short because we
know al Al did a bid The EP in itself
was great, although it was like an appetizer because people
wanted more after they heard it. So a year later,
you guys dropped your full length Street Level.

Speaker 5 (02:22:24):
Like I said, actually worked, man, it actually worked for
it worked.

Speaker 9 (02:22:27):
You know, despite the source giving you three and a
half mics, which is criminal, stupid. It was so crazy, uh,
Like I said, Man, it's one of those albums that
continues to bang. It's did the test of time, a
great car album, a great summer album. It's just one
of those things that truly truly resonates.

Speaker 13 (02:22:45):
And a great club album in the clubs man, and
all the lounges. I mean, I was selling out this
the other day. The beat Nuts records were fantastic if
you wanted to get like a group, if you had
the right group in the in the in the in
the club lounge. But all of your instrumentals had that
nice jazz flair where people were just chilling, you know,

(02:23:08):
knitting and not dancing. Your instrumentals. People were coming up
to the booth constantly, Yo, what.

Speaker 9 (02:23:13):
The fuck is that?

Speaker 13 (02:23:14):
You know what you're playing? And I was always saying,
you know, that's the remix for the Beating Nuts. That
you know and had like cool, you always had cool
twelve inches, you know, always greatly very jazz influenced, as
far as the pictures, which was nice.

Speaker 14 (02:23:28):
Yeah, you know, we all agree that the reason why
this is so great and why we're focusing on this
album on this episode is because what constitutes a classic
is little to no skips.

Speaker 11 (02:23:39):
For me, this album no skips.

Speaker 33 (02:23:41):
I was skits used to be music like beats that
people used to say, why why didn't you use that ship?

Speaker 5 (02:23:45):
I was like, because that's a throwaway beat. We got
thousands of those.

Speaker 11 (02:23:50):
So I was going to ask you do other people
tell you, like, Yo, I love this album. I know
no skips, that's crue.

Speaker 5 (02:23:58):
Nobody said that.

Speaker 12 (02:23:59):
I haven't heard that yet.

Speaker 9 (02:24:00):
Well you heard it tonight, no skip certified.

Speaker 5 (02:24:05):
I was just thinking about that the other day.

Speaker 33 (02:24:07):
That all the way at the end, it's like a
minute later it's like a yeah, so many yeah, I
think that was.

Speaker 5 (02:24:16):
You caught them.

Speaker 33 (02:24:18):
And then we just said I'm I'm gonna trick the
people think the ship is over. Yeah, so many people
used to get caught out there like that ship would
like catch you if you're at home or something.

Speaker 13 (02:24:29):
The one that caught me was cycle Dwarf. Towards the end,
you have this one beat that's just by itself in
an ocean alone, and it's like, it's like that beat
is the hardest beat on the whole fucking thing, and
there's no one rhyming over it. It's insane.

Speaker 5 (02:24:44):
Hey man, those are little little little treats.

Speaker 3 (02:25:29):
Tattoom where the trump.

Speaker 10 (02:25:34):
Yeah, when the baseline kicks in right.

Speaker 12 (02:25:37):
It's crazy.

Speaker 9 (02:25:37):
So this this session, I want to.

Speaker 5 (02:25:40):
Know about Bill Douggie.

Speaker 9 (02:25:42):
It's crazy, man. It was just the same loop. Tell
me about so you got you got pouba on?

Speaker 11 (02:25:48):
Here was this?

Speaker 10 (02:25:49):
Was it originally with Pooba in mind?

Speaker 33 (02:25:51):
Or we just used to go to the studio and
bang out records. There was nothing in mind. We would
make these records at the studio party and everything. We
didn't plan nothing. That day, Grandpoopa happened to be across
the hallway working in another another room, so he came over. Boom,
We played him a beat. He was like, yo, I

(02:26:13):
said this hot. So we was like, Yo, what else
am I gonna ask? I'm gonna be like, yo, you
want to jump on this ship? He was like yeah,
so so so we actually, you know, back then we
didn't pay rappers to bet. So what we did we
just we had a couple of forty five records and
we just said we gave them a drum on some
forty five.

Speaker 5 (02:26:32):
It was like, yo, that's for you. So that was
the trade. Actually that's the real trade. Yeah for a beat.

Speaker 4 (02:26:40):
Hey, less bro, you gotta do me a favorite here man,
let me let me bring you in because this is
one of my favorite parts on the whole fucking album,
right slammed off the funk in your truck punk boom boom.

Speaker 13 (02:26:54):
That's good. That's just a little right there.

Speaker 4 (02:26:56):
But if you do not like sing that long while
you're listening to that track, then.

Speaker 5 (02:27:04):
Whenever, whenever we whenever we performed that, that' joint we
throw that ship.

Speaker 13 (02:27:08):
On that should be the crowd loop, you know, left side.

Speaker 33 (02:27:17):
That's just we always love the energy beats like the
energy we like, you know, iype ship.

Speaker 13 (02:27:23):
You remember where you got that? Who is that motherfucker?

Speaker 5 (02:27:25):
Who is that motherfucker? That was from some some shaft
or some ship mover or something good man so good.

Speaker 13 (02:27:34):
I was saying that you are the king of like
little vocal riffs that go throughout the loop.

Speaker 33 (02:27:41):
Yeah everything I used to sample show from from TV.
I used to plug my ship to the TV and
sampled porns and whatever the fuck.

Speaker 5 (02:27:50):
Was all that ship from from Rain of the Tech Kids. Nowadays,
I got that from some some dude talking ship on
I don't even know where some.

Speaker 13 (02:28:00):
You always did it, right, were you?

Speaker 33 (02:28:01):
And that's nine fifty I or you know S nine
fifty the sp twelve hundred and later I moved.

Speaker 13 (02:28:09):
On to the to the MP Yeah, sixty or or
two thousand.

Speaker 5 (02:28:14):
We started off with the sixty. We did a lot
of the EP on the sixty and also the album
the Street Level.

Speaker 9 (02:28:23):
I know it's hard to like really say, but would
you agree that you both shared the same amount of
production duties you and Juju on this album?

Speaker 33 (02:28:31):
Hell yeah, Hell yeah? I mean we, like I said,
we didn't have nothing. We would go to the studio
with Crates and make the start sampling ship and I'll
played Juju a baseline boom and We'll be like, yo,
flip them drums right there, ko boom boom, boom boom,
right on.

Speaker 5 (02:28:47):
The spot, you know, and that's it. We'll tell the
engineer later this ship if it sounded good. You know.

Speaker 13 (02:28:52):
Doesn't that get a little muddled when it comes to
like I was saying, like who gets the production credit
and ship like that?

Speaker 5 (02:28:57):
And that. I mean back then, back then, we was
we was on some beat nuts. That's it.

Speaker 33 (02:29:03):
We just want to We wanted to see produced by
beat nuts everywhere, but produced by beatnuts that that gives
it more of a like a instead of just psycho
or less or Juju you.

Speaker 13 (02:29:14):
Know, while you guys were down with native tongues? Did
he a track from Ony Love? Didn't he fly out
to London? How was that like? Kind of seeing the
group kind of splinter off and do something like that.
I mean, was that weird?

Speaker 33 (02:29:30):
I mean that was the beginning of starting to travel
and get used and getting used to that life.

Speaker 5 (02:29:36):
You know, So was that?

Speaker 13 (02:29:37):
Which track did he do for Mony?

Speaker 5 (02:29:39):
We did a few of them.

Speaker 33 (02:29:40):
I did pup Slicking Bone, Juju did some other ship
We did like two three of them.

Speaker 14 (02:29:46):
I think some of the production that you guys did,
you know, like you talked about Ili but like you
did a lot of comments.

Speaker 11 (02:29:52):
First album you did Prime Minister Pete Nice and this
came before your stuff.

Speaker 14 (02:29:58):
You're on rap Affor Yeah, the best song on the album,
hands down by far, and a few others too. And
then you also did Curious George. I don't think that
one came before your album, but it was right around
that time. You know, is that the you know, your
your production work on those other albums. Did that really secure?
Help you secure the deal?

Speaker 5 (02:30:17):
The Beating Uts deal?

Speaker 33 (02:30:20):
Not really We got the deal just off knowing baby
Chris and he knew the heat that we had, you know,
we had a lot of heat. So and actually Jung
Brothers was supposed to do that Chilly album and Africa
told them, I'm gonna pass this project over to.

Speaker 5 (02:30:35):
The Beating Uts. They're going to do it for me,
which was cool. It was actually we was like, hell,
we was hungry. We'll take anything.

Speaker 9 (02:30:42):
Before we go back into the album and talk about
the super Bad. Real quick, as we're talking about remixes,
I don't want to forget how did you wind up
doing a remix for the Lynch Mob Ain't got no class,
be real.

Speaker 33 (02:30:55):
I think it was the manager at the time that
was throwing us remixes, and shit was going in there.

Speaker 10 (02:31:00):
Because that's a dope remix.

Speaker 9 (02:31:01):
But it's one of those like that's a weird kind
of like collaboration that you wouldn't expect at all, you

Speaker 33 (02:31:08):
Talking about remixes and props over here, I don't mean
to go back, but remember you we were saying that
we didn't like props.

Speaker 5 (02:31:14):
But that was one of the reasons we did a remix.

Speaker 10 (02:31:17):
Yeah, you got props.

Speaker 5 (02:31:18):
You see the difference, right, It's more like that's more.

Speaker 4 (02:31:22):
You know, you would blend into that version. When you
were performing live. I think you would play the single
version props over here a minute, and then you blend
into the other remix.

Speaker 5 (02:31:33):
Right, yea, yeah, we still do it.

Speaker 9 (02:31:34):
You guys really didn't like props over here?

Speaker 33 (02:31:39):
You know what it actually? I don't mind it now.
It sounds pretty good. I hear it now and it's like, damn,
that's us. It don't even sound like us.

Speaker 13 (02:31:47):
Oh, it's amazing. It's amazing song. It just like I said,
it's just one of those things that always bring me
back to remind me just how special of a group
you guys were, and yet it was one of your
throat But see, that's kind of the funny thing. Maybe
it just got you out of your comfort zone. Maybe
it was too jazzy when you guys wanted to be
too street. I mean, Jesus never know.

Speaker 33 (02:32:08):
Hey man, I think we was just ahead of our
time and people just catching up right now. Still people
still catching up.

Speaker 5 (02:32:15):
Well.

Speaker 14 (02:32:15):
As Jason said earlier, the album ages really well, really well.

Speaker 11 (02:32:20):
Say that for a lot of albums.

Speaker 5 (02:32:22):
You know what it is, the Beating Nuts.

Speaker 33 (02:32:24):
We were a team, a big production team of engineers, producers.

Speaker 5 (02:32:29):
It was me VC Juju.

Speaker 33 (02:32:32):
We had Johnny Johnny fam Ma Lowry. He was a
crazy engineer and it was just like and we was
all like crazy technicians, like all just mastering to get
this great sound, and the greatest, hardest loops and magic
just happened out of that team.

Speaker 5 (02:32:50):
You know, I can't take all the credit Juju nobody.
He was a team, you know, let's.

Speaker 9 (02:32:55):
Talk super bad out in love it, but not for
any other reason than I think he just didn't like
his vocals that much on this. But I think it's
a fun track. Like I said earlier, I think you always.
I think you had the most fun out of the crew.
I think you probably had too much fun and you're
probably liability.

Speaker 19 (02:33:14):
A holy s got the house, jam packed, world famous beat,
notts making moves. That's a light like twenty fourth track
too long and you get chops back. You met my
elbow watch the l P Bager crews down a hell hole,
make that become active, watery pronounce Yes.

Speaker 4 (02:33:39):
I think it's got one of the craziest beats.

Speaker 11 (02:33:43):
The part that does it for me on that song
is mister sinister.

Speaker 5 (02:33:46):
Oh Man sentence. He was on all you ready to
Are you ready?

Speaker 12 (02:33:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (02:33:51):
And that's right, my favorite part one of the other
than you know, just the greatness of the song. One
of the things that stands out to me on going
back to that song, are you Ready.

Speaker 11 (02:33:59):
Is the acres.

Speaker 14 (02:34:01):
Yeah, it's very unique sound like it stands out. It's
almost like there was slick Rick Sleigh bells.

Speaker 5 (02:34:08):
Yeah, it's a part of the sample and it's like
an off Street It's crazy.

Speaker 9 (02:34:13):
We kind of already discussed straight Jacket, but I heard
that Papa Wo wasn't the biggest fan when he's seen
you guys up in the club or something like that,
because you guys sampled O dB and there was a
little conflict between the WU people. Uh, and I just
want to get your take on it. What what do

(02:34:35):
you remember?

Speaker 5 (02:34:36):
I never heard nothing.

Speaker 33 (02:34:38):
I never heard nobody say nothing, and I hang with
them and everything.

Speaker 10 (02:34:43):
I think what he said was ODB was cool.

Speaker 9 (02:34:46):
But Papa Wo was kind of like saying, hey, you know,
you guys violated.

Speaker 5 (02:34:51):
And uh yeah, but back then we was all sampling
each other and yeah, of course it was.

Speaker 12 (02:34:58):
That was good ship.

Speaker 5 (02:34:59):
If somebody the sample my voice, I would love it.

Speaker 6 (02:35:01):
You know.

Speaker 9 (02:35:02):
The next joint Inlightenment A minute and twenty seconds long
or something. It's one of the dopest beats, is uh,
let off a couple? So did you guys, why why
just tease us with such a phenomenal beat first a
minute or so?

Speaker 35 (02:35:17):
Auntie Alexander Me personally, I just liked the beat, but
I didn't have no lyrics for it. So that's why
I was like, you know what, I'll do a little
two bar chorus and just let y'all kill.

Speaker 5 (02:35:29):
The beat completely in the house. Click, let off a
couple of one beats.

Speaker 19 (02:35:37):
Let's go off for a couple for the beat bits
you what the trouble? My niggas down already and said
it we.

Speaker 5 (02:35:45):
Forget one of the best beating ship work though crazy,
it's none of this. None of these songs was planned out.

Speaker 33 (02:35:53):
Nobody was at home right, and then we would all
just meet at the studio and bang out these bangers.

Speaker 13 (02:35:59):
And would you right at the studio?

Speaker 9 (02:36:01):
Of course?

Speaker 10 (02:36:02):
What was the first song you guys recorded for this album?

Speaker 5 (02:36:05):
I'm not even sure.

Speaker 9 (02:36:07):
What do you think?

Speaker 12 (02:36:07):
Maybe the party?

Speaker 5 (02:36:08):
You don't you don't stop?

Speaker 33 (02:36:10):
We set it off, you know, And I think the
order that the album is, it's the same order we
were knocking them out you know, because we get we
start getting used to that that pattern, and and and
we just want to leave it that way. You know,
after listening to to the rough rough mixes and whatever.
We used to have work titles to the songs and

(02:36:31):
we would just keep them like cycle doors that don't
even make sense.

Speaker 5 (02:36:34):
That was just the name of a beat, and so
keep it cycle.

Speaker 9 (02:36:39):
So certain certain songs you appear on. Certain songs you
don't appear on, like Rick's joint. I don't think you're
on that.

Speaker 5 (02:36:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that beat.

Speaker 33 (02:36:47):
I wasn't too crazy about that beat too, so I
would fall you know, I would fall back on a
lot of joints if I wasn't really feeling it.

Speaker 5 (02:36:54):
I mean, it's dope, it's.

Speaker 11 (02:36:55):
Dope, but it's like, I'm gonna like the slow ones,
do you Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:37:00):
I think it was probably the slow Ship that Yeah,
I'm following that.

Speaker 11 (02:37:04):
You know, you're not a family slower ones.

Speaker 13 (02:37:06):
So wrong though, so wrong.

Speaker 33 (02:37:08):
Yeah, it's well fashion and Juju destroyed that ship. You
don't even need me on that ship, right, That shit
was perfect.

Speaker 10 (02:37:17):
Well, it was kind of interesting that certain songs had you.

Speaker 9 (02:37:20):
And then obviously Al has his own solo on there
so I just wanted to know the thought process of
why you know, you're not a rich joint and you're
not really on let off a color a lot of yo.

Speaker 33 (02:37:29):
A lot of the times like it would be just me,
mean fashion in the studio. Juju wasn't even around. It
would come drop a beat and we won't see him
for another week or something, so we'll just be making
records with these beats and when he comes.

Speaker 5 (02:37:42):
He'll just drop his sixteen or whatever it is.

Speaker 9 (02:37:45):
No, I didn't know.

Speaker 10 (02:37:46):
I thought all three of you guys are usually together.

Speaker 5 (02:37:48):
You guys, we was together. We would definitely be together,
But there was a lot of other times where.

Speaker 9 (02:37:53):
You know, it would just be me and you know, well,
the next joints produced by our v I C. Who's
like an honorary member, and you set it off because
clearly this is this is one of those heavy, rough,
rugged and raw kind of joints, which is fried chicken.
So tell us about this one.

Speaker 5 (02:38:09):
My number one, that's that's my beat. I made that beat.

Speaker 2 (02:38:13):
Really, I thought I thought it was a groove merchants beat.

Speaker 9 (02:38:16):
Oh you know what v I C is in it?

Speaker 12 (02:38:17):
Right?

Speaker 11 (02:38:18):
I wanted Dr C y'all.

Speaker 5 (02:38:20):
That was just a little loop good. Yeah, that's the
only song on the.

Speaker 11 (02:38:27):
Album to me, rock the trump hook job on something.

Speaker 2 (02:38:31):
But that shit, they got to open up front.

Speaker 19 (02:38:34):
I just want to see that super see intoxicated fucking
leaves that shoots the load at home on the bo
stopped to put the b saga base with women ice
with the tonic.

Speaker 2 (02:38:45):
You want to play a lot of four.

Speaker 5 (02:38:46):
Signer track of chronic that that sh is dirty. That's
why we called it fried Chicken because it was like
real fright up.

Speaker 11 (02:38:55):
It's funny you say this.

Speaker 14 (02:38:56):
The song titles, now that I'm thinking about it, they
all sound like raw beat titles, like without lyrics.

Speaker 5 (02:39:03):
That's what that's when we kept them like that. We
kept it like that.

Speaker 11 (02:39:06):
Yeah, they're not song titles. They're just beat titles.

Speaker 33 (02:39:09):
Like when I made that beat it called I called
it fried chicken, and so that's what it stood.

Speaker 5 (02:39:14):
It stood fried chicken. You know, yo, throw that fried chicken.

Speaker 10 (02:39:17):
Because you made the beat.

Speaker 9 (02:39:18):
Do you say, like I'm starting the ship and I'm
closing this ship because it's my beat, not.

Speaker 5 (02:39:23):
Really what happened? Yeah, well yeah, well it just so happens,
you know.

Speaker 33 (02:39:29):
But yeah, we would just get in there we'll plan
it out like yo, everybody, just spit eight ball real
quick and I'll be like, let me set this ship off.

Speaker 4 (02:39:38):
Speaking of fried Chicken, I thought that was Colonel Sanders
smoking a blunt on your hat, but it's actually Abraham
Lincoln Lincoln.

Speaker 13 (02:39:46):
Lincoln or like Uhlan of the Apes. So whatever guy's name.

Speaker 9 (02:40:00):
At track eleven right now, which is uh yeah, you
got props, which is the remix to remix? You got props?
So how soon after you guys made you got props?
You're like, fuck it, we can't stand the song. We
need to do a remix. How long?

Speaker 33 (02:40:15):
It wasn't like we couldn't stand it. It was just like,
we want to do a hard remix, you know, just
and people was doing remixes, but a lot of remixes.
That ship was in style back then. Just let's try
to flip the remix since that was the hot record
you know at the time.

Speaker 19 (02:40:30):
Pass me either have my croy ates ho daddy tracks.
We got plenty to spread jump. I had to fuck
up Fred because he caught me fucking will my Darky
style on his bad, fucking bad hand. It the nuts
half landed bust and huts and bitches guts, they'll leaving
up stranded, not a branded house, no bouse trying to escape.
Got the bitch, o beddie take you sure that's all

(02:40:51):
her trying to scratch the face on the bellance, all
the bitch to say the fuck out the woods busy chilling,
So with no hassle, let me catch all my cast
with you all bitch, fuck give y'all day, God blast you.

Speaker 11 (02:41:03):
There's what's put me off as a DJ.

Speaker 12 (02:41:04):
Though.

Speaker 13 (02:41:05):
Why didn't you guys put the instrumental on the twelve inch?
Because I was like, fuck, I want to rock that
in the club, But there was no instrumental remix. Yeah,
you only had the single. You only had the vocal version,
and then you had the remix. You had all the
other versions of props over here.

Speaker 5 (02:41:21):
So I mean, but you got the you got the instrumental,
now right.

Speaker 11 (02:41:25):
I got it.

Speaker 13 (02:41:25):
No, I'm just saying, you know I wanted out.

Speaker 5 (02:41:30):
It take it takes a little while to get it.

Speaker 9 (02:41:32):
The next joint is it sounds like it would be
too much of a party joint for you, Like you
wanted something more rugged but get funky. It was like
to me, the first club banger off this that you
could like the minute you put that needle on the record,
that's it.

Speaker 5 (02:41:51):
We didn't know what we were doing. We didn't think,
we just we just knew we liked it.

Speaker 11 (02:41:58):
We produced this one.

Speaker 5 (02:42:00):
It wasn't get funky. I believe it was juju. That
was yeah.

Speaker 19 (02:42:06):
Snare is crazy on that one with the Reds and
brother I could get backs with trying to test people.

Speaker 9 (02:42:15):
I pulled them in some man, I know them.

Speaker 19 (02:42:19):
At once, and I won't tell you I think the
stunts and I won't pay the prices. They get it
off paradise because it's all good.

Speaker 5 (02:42:26):
I know you wish they could. But yeah, we would
flip them beats right right into in the studio, you know.

Speaker 10 (02:42:32):
So you guys would go there. You wouldn't have really
anything in mind.

Speaker 9 (02:42:36):
You would just kind of like play around, and then
all of a sudden, these songs kind of came to
fruition just organically.

Speaker 4 (02:42:43):
Wow, bro, they would lux Burgers would happened because they
needed to eat and write and make it was it was.

Speaker 9 (02:42:50):
It wasn't just us.

Speaker 5 (02:42:51):
It was a team in there, like a lot of people,
a lot of people.

Speaker 33 (02:42:56):
We would go into the lounge and and have the
TV on with ride our rhymes, go back into the
studio and drop the verse, and the next year we
just keep it going with that.

Speaker 11 (02:43:06):
Les, did you do all your albums this way?

Speaker 9 (02:43:09):
Uh?

Speaker 33 (02:43:09):
Nah, not really, but that one album was done that way.
It would have been crazy to keep doing it like that.

Speaker 5 (02:43:16):
Man.

Speaker 14 (02:43:17):
It just yeah, you can really tell too, because it
captures the feel of the mid nineties perfectly.

Speaker 33 (02:43:23):
It was a lot of party and going on. It
was just happy to be on. We had budgets and
all that, and we were just having fun with the music.

Speaker 12 (02:43:31):
You know.

Speaker 9 (02:43:32):
The next joint is like a back to back home run.
It's kind of like what I call maguire Canseiko from
Get Funky to hit me with that?

Speaker 11 (02:43:40):
This beat?

Speaker 10 (02:43:41):
Did you produce it? Or was it juju? Because this
is another one that was like, I.

Speaker 5 (02:43:45):
Mean yeah, that's the juju jo. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (02:43:47):
So this one slow?

Speaker 9 (02:43:48):
Did you not like it?

Speaker 12 (02:43:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (02:43:50):
Too slow?

Speaker 33 (02:43:51):
From that this one it was cool, It was cool.
It wasn't one of my favorites to this day. It's like,
we don't even perform that record. Really, we don't even
perform it, So what does that mean? And we don't
feel it like that?

Speaker 9 (02:44:05):
Is it because you just Oprah so you don't want
to get off.

Speaker 5 (02:44:11):
Nah, I mean I actually like my verse. I like
everybody's verse you know, on that.

Speaker 33 (02:44:16):
But the slow ship is like when you when you're
up on stage and you just feel like everything is
slow motion and ship.

Speaker 5 (02:44:24):
It's like you like you like to feel that the
energy you have everybody jumping ship.

Speaker 11 (02:44:29):
Can you see the single oh Ship?

Speaker 12 (02:44:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (02:44:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:44:33):
We was twisted in that picture.

Speaker 9 (02:44:36):
I think you're twisted for the whole fucking album.

Speaker 12 (02:44:38):
If you want to know the problem twist.

Speaker 33 (02:44:42):
That was every album that was that was that was
the mandatory gotta go pick up some buns six packs.
We would have like cases delivered to the studio whatever
the next one.

Speaker 14 (02:44:55):
I want to hear what you have to say about
two three Break and how it's switches beats on each
verse and who's.

Speaker 16 (02:45:03):
Idea that was?

Speaker 33 (02:45:04):
Yeah, well that was my idea because I was a
big fan I'm still a big fan of Chuck Chill
Out DJ Chuck chill Outry and he had a record
at the time called two to three Breaks. I don't
know if you heard of that, of course, entertainment entertainment. Yeah,
so I try to do I did my own two

(02:45:25):
three breaks.

Speaker 13 (02:45:25):
You know the dupe track. Now, a lot of people
get that one from back in the day.

Speaker 5 (02:45:29):
Yeah two right, yeah, I mean, you know, if you're
if you're a real head, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:45:35):
So you know, I actually thought you were kind of
paying homage to Primo and what they did on I'm
the Man off the Daily Operation album, that track with
j RW and Little Dap, because they do the same
thing there. And I asked that out and he said, no,
I don't think so, but he did mention it was
your beat.

Speaker 5 (02:45:55):
But if you listen to the Chuck chill out, he
does the same thing. Two break a different bea. It
will come on.

Speaker 13 (02:46:03):
That's the best part of the eighties that back then.

Speaker 33 (02:46:05):
Yeah, so it'll be it'll rock for like a minute
or two and then two three, break another one.

Speaker 5 (02:46:15):
So that's where my idea of doing the.

Speaker 9 (02:46:18):
You know, Don King, he really has big hands. I'm
trying to think Don King, is he that big of
a dude's He references Don King's hands in the first verse.
You you you're like, my King's taking Don king sized hand.
I'm like, don King, Don King doesn't seem that big

(02:46:40):
to me because he lives locally, so we see him
a lot, but.

Speaker 11 (02:46:43):
Uh, he has little hands to make his dick look bigger.

Speaker 9 (02:46:47):
Yeah, you definitely have some funny fucking lines. Like your
lines always stand out, because that's why I said, I
think you probably had way more fun than everybody else.
I don't think you remember half the ship that he wrote.

Speaker 33 (02:47:07):
I was trying to have I was just having fun
with it, man, And you can tell I was like
I was, I wanted. I was like, I wanted to
do comedy in my wrap too, So you know, Juju
was like just the hardcore and Fashion was more like
the the lyrical guy. You know, I would see him
more as he had the stories, the livercal you know. Yeah, Hey,

(02:47:29):
I was just fucking around.

Speaker 9 (02:47:31):
You were you?

Speaker 4 (02:47:31):
You were wearing the tuxedo tea man. You wanted to
be formal, but you still wanted to party.

Speaker 13 (02:47:37):
Yeah, I was like a mullet.

Speaker 9 (02:47:42):
The next joint takes us to the fashion solo Lictor
pussy and and and then it goes to your joint sandwiches.
Sandwich was another one where I know, uh, dre you
had you were kind of confused because of the.

Speaker 13 (02:47:55):
The same sample that goes into Psycho Dwarfs. So I
wasn't sure if it was supposed to be an interlude,
and then it was like all right, let's just yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:48:03):
Because we just had the same discratch the get on down,
get get down.

Speaker 9 (02:48:09):
Later on you released the original version, which is a
little bit longer than Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:48:14):
What You're gonna do now? Sausage Rana strapped it.

Speaker 19 (02:48:17):
To the chair, fucking bitch with my hospring side tick
rich gets hit the ties quick. Then I flipped for
little ass like a sidekick bird. The names up bonds
will come on and cast beat the light caught the
hydrop bombs, I said, I make get chests, make mess
sound wet chests, and scratch my ass one.

Speaker 9 (02:48:36):
Of that trusts. Now, how many songs did you record
for this album that didn't make this album?

Speaker 33 (02:48:42):
A lot, a lot, And that's why if you if
you heard the UFO five like forty ounce, yeah, forty out,
there's a lot.

Speaker 5 (02:48:50):
Of joints that you know didn't make it.

Speaker 9 (02:48:52):
So that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (02:48:54):
Matter of fact, we had this one joint that we used,
the Duick.

Speaker 33 (02:48:57):
Baseline, the boom boom Boomree told.

Speaker 5 (02:49:00):
Us about that, yeah, and as soon as we heard
that ship, we was like scratch it, yo.

Speaker 12 (02:49:08):
We was like that.

Speaker 33 (02:49:08):
We was like, Yo, we can't drop beats that other
motherfuckers coming with We gotta hit niggas in the head.

Speaker 11 (02:49:14):
I was hype about that one. That was that that
one must have been really good. You guys were feeling
really good about that one.

Speaker 14 (02:49:19):
It was.

Speaker 5 (02:49:20):
It was a real good record.

Speaker 13 (02:49:21):
But in that part of the nineties, though, whoever put
it out first wins.

Speaker 33 (02:49:25):
I mean exactly, and it would be corny to come
out again like, oh beating, They did the same fucking
primo beating.

Speaker 5 (02:49:31):
Nah fuck that.

Speaker 11 (02:49:33):
So let's when we get into the last track, Psycho Dwarf.
I'm wondering.

Speaker 14 (02:49:40):
How you arrived at the decision to put that on
there instead of like rein at the tech.

Speaker 5 (02:49:44):
Because you know this was on the EP, but that
was like our anthem. You know, Okay, we gotta throw
the anthem up there. I want to fuck, drink beer,
smoke some ship.

Speaker 11 (02:49:54):
Is that the last song you perform at your shows?

Speaker 5 (02:49:58):
No, we do it like in the metal somewhere.

Speaker 31 (02:50:00):
Okay, says no bazit.

Speaker 9 (02:50:15):
I'm about the lamb.

Speaker 19 (02:50:16):
I'm gonna have balanceole business. It's open up, let me in.
Then check out the help bump the fucking that swing.

Speaker 9 (02:50:24):
We covered the album, I asked the same question out,
you have to pick like three of your favorite joints.
I know you you know we kind of discussed earlier.

Speaker 10 (02:50:33):
On but three.

Speaker 9 (02:50:34):
Now that we've kind of went over the whole album,
what are the three joints that you say these are
my favorites.

Speaker 33 (02:50:40):
I would say I like the sandwiches. I like the beat,
even though it's a slow beat. I like super Bad.

Speaker 5 (02:50:46):
I like you don't stop Okay fried chicken, right chicken?

Speaker 11 (02:50:53):
Yeah, that's my favorite.

Speaker 14 (02:50:55):
You know.

Speaker 33 (02:50:55):
You know that's the stretch, the stretch on Barbito Show
when when Babito was saying the hook and I just
took the clip off the radio and just looped them
and sh that's what that is.

Speaker 9 (02:51:07):
That's what that's.

Speaker 33 (02:51:07):
That's Babito saying I keep bunking to that being on
the show shot. But he was rapping to some James
Brown beat on the radio show.

Speaker 12 (02:51:14):
So I taped it.

Speaker 5 (02:51:15):
I taped him saying that ship, and then I flew
it into the.

Speaker 14 (02:51:18):
Oh nice, there's a piece of trivia for you. Damn Les,
Is this your favorite beat Nuts album that you've ever made?

Speaker 33 (02:51:25):
Not my favorite, but it's one of my ones that
I remember like most memorable. Yeah, every every album has
this special thing to it, you know.

Speaker 9 (02:51:34):
So I'd be remiss by didn't asked this question for
the fans and myself included. But what do we need
to do to to hear like another beat nuts joint together?

Speaker 12 (02:51:45):
Ship?

Speaker 5 (02:51:45):
We got to get something some bread up, some bread somewhere.

Speaker 10 (02:51:51):
Yeah, So so it's is there. There's still interest though
from you and Juju?

Speaker 5 (02:51:57):
Yeah, I mean, is a monster that we've got in
the studio. We'll fucking destroy ship. Women.

Speaker 10 (02:52:03):
How much material are you guys sitting on that you
just never released?

Speaker 33 (02:52:07):
Over the years, we got so many beats that we
stashed them to the side, Like, yo, that's a beating
our joint, that's a beating nut.

Speaker 5 (02:52:15):
So many the beats would be done, like already done,
They're already done.

Speaker 10 (02:52:20):
Wow, all right, So at least we have that to
look forward to, knowing you have a lot.

Speaker 33 (02:52:24):
Yeah, I mean, and we could probably whip something up.
You know, Well, this year it's everything got fucked up
with all this ship that's going on. So you know,
we pushed the b Real album to next year, and
so I'm taking my time with that beating as we
can squeeze something too.

Speaker 9 (02:52:39):
You know, it's good to hear man. So before we
wrap this up.

Speaker 5 (02:52:42):
Up without you talked, then yeah, like Alan, what's he doing?
What the fuck? He don't call me?

Speaker 9 (02:52:48):
What the fuck? Al? Alvin Houston? Now all right, all right,
he's uh, he seemed to me he had nothing. But
you know, good things to say about you guys. I know, Love,
I know Jerry is a little I think he finds
a little awkward to uh. When I told him about this,
He's like, oh am, I going to be on the
same like conference with with album. Like not everyone's individual,

(02:53:12):
but it's a shame because I really think you guys
had all three of you guys had great chemistry and
you're part of history like that album. Whether you want
to I'm not saying you do, but whether you realize
it or not, is is all three of you guys
and considered you know, if not your one of your I.

Speaker 33 (02:53:32):
Don't know if you if you heard the Big City,
Big City at project that we did, yeah, no, that.

Speaker 5 (02:53:38):
Was that was like giving you more beating us that flavor.

Speaker 12 (02:53:42):
You know.

Speaker 9 (02:53:43):
I think we've heard like little sprinkles here and there
with you guys together like on a duck season with Batboo.

Speaker 5 (02:53:49):
You guys. But you know that's the perfect combination.

Speaker 9 (02:53:53):
You know, it really is, like there's there's that hard,
there's soft, the fun, the edgy, like you guys are
all kind of make this perfect combination.

Speaker 4 (02:54:02):
So could we try to potentially create a bridge for
you guys to connect with We've done this before, man,
you know we got we got Eric Sermon and Redman backed,
So could we get.

Speaker 11 (02:54:14):
Yeah, did you back?

Speaker 5 (02:54:17):
We never went nowhere? We always been here. It's just
like there's nothing like you know, you see.

Speaker 9 (02:54:23):
The als available right now to hop on, so you guys.

Speaker 5 (02:54:25):
Can say hello, I mean whatever, see what's up?

Speaker 11 (02:54:29):

Speaker 14 (02:54:31):
He a lot of fun stories and he was real up,
you know, upbeating really fun and it was a good time.

Speaker 5 (02:54:36):
I mean the whole the whole beating us time was
all fun times.

Speaker 29 (02:54:40):
Man.

Speaker 33 (02:54:40):
We did was to have fun, play our music and
tour buses and all that ship we're cool and everything
we just need personally, I know, you know, like I
think some bread will spark spark a little flame under
everybody's eyes.

Speaker 5 (02:54:56):
That's how it is.

Speaker 12 (02:54:57):
You know.

Speaker 4 (02:54:57):
I don't know if he could hear us, but we
can't hear him.

Speaker 11 (02:55:00):
He just says, connecting to audio. He's connecting to audio.

Speaker 5 (02:55:05):
Come on fast, you got the slip? Yeah you can
see it, Yeah, I can see you.

Speaker 9 (02:55:12):
How many years has this been.

Speaker 15 (02:55:15):
I've seen I've seen less like I forgot like a
few years ago at all.

Speaker 33 (02:55:22):
The last time, I said, yeah, I thought it was
a big city I thought it was Big City Project.

Speaker 15 (02:55:27):
After that a little bit, oh no no, no, no,
no no no, I mean Big City Project. Yeah, but
we ran into each other that night. Excuse, excuse this joint.

Speaker 5 (02:55:39):
It was crazy.

Speaker 13 (02:55:40):

I was probably twisted too. So one of your homies
and ship it was some ship in downtown for Skins

Speaker 9 (02:58:30):
It sounds like, but you probably haven't really had a conversation,
a hardy conversation for for some time on take a
personal radio. We brought this together. We're lucky though we're
even talking now. This dude almost died a month ago coronavirus.
We're fortunate that he's here with us, and that you
guys are are are talking because you know what, things

(02:58:51):
happen for reasons, and uh, you know this music thing,
you guys have always, like I said, you're a part
of history. You made art that is that is just
something that that brought all of us together for a reason.
And I'm glad that you guys are are now back
again in one of those lives at least for a
short period of time, maybe longer and one after this

(02:59:13):
because you know, you guys together, the three of you.
Like I said, the chemistry, it was just it was
it was really fucking great. It was phenomenal. And you
guys were a part of golden era hip hop and
and a monumental classic album. So thank you both because
you're on the phone right now, so I could.

Speaker 5 (02:59:33):
Tell you, man me cry you know how you know
how I see it?

Speaker 33 (02:59:40):
Man, Hey, we we did it. We made history. We
we you know, it's it's done already, Like we could.
We couldn't do those records again if we wanted to
snapshot time. You know, we will about this.

Speaker 14 (02:59:54):
I told you remember this from our last conversation. But uh,
the four of us sat down. This is the first
installment of a series of shows that we're gonna do.
The focus on one album. This is the very first
one and the one that we all universally agreed on.

Speaker 5 (03:00:09):
Because it was that.

Speaker 15 (03:00:11):
Nah, that that's crazy. When y'all told me that, I
was like, Yo, that's nuts. I was telling my wife that,
like Yo, they said, you know they're about to do
a few. You know, it's gonna be a series they're doing.
And they all had their you know, idea on what
album it should be and from what I understood from y'all,
it was unanimous, right, it was.

Speaker 14 (03:00:29):
Yeah, we threw we threw about twelve out there, and
this is the one that we we were like that one,
that one.

Speaker 5 (03:00:36):
No, that's crazy.

Speaker 9 (03:00:37):
Well, the truth is we couldn't get d C. So
then we just said that's gonna have to happen. Though,
that's gonna happen.

Speaker 15 (03:00:50):
Like d C.

Speaker 9 (03:00:51):
No, let's fuck it, let's do street level.

Speaker 11 (03:00:52):
DC is on the short list.

Speaker 5 (03:00:54):
But yeah, you're talking about the DOC No.

Speaker 10 (03:00:59):
One and only DOC.

Speaker 5 (03:01:01):
Yeah, better.

Speaker 4 (03:01:05):
Album one of you think we're talking about Red Man.

Speaker 11 (03:01:09):
No, y'all, because you said, you think we're talking about
Doctor Good, the second best rap debut in history.

Speaker 13 (03:01:17):
Wow, don't go crazy, but it was good.

Speaker 9 (03:01:19):
What's better that?

Speaker 12 (03:01:21):
Let's be clear, y'all talking about the d O C
Doctor Dre.

Speaker 9 (03:01:26):
D o C, Doctor.

Crazy Man.

Speaker 9 (03:01:30):

Speaker 11 (03:01:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (03:01:43):
You know, what do you mean?

Speaker 10 (03:01:44):
We can't get juju?

Speaker 13 (03:01:45):
I believe this is going to happen.

Speaker 9 (03:01:47):
No, Look, Dre is one of those optimist people.

Speaker 36 (03:01:49):
But no, we were not getting you have to you
have to do that, you have to do that can
tell us as soon as you say no, then then
we live in a vibration where for negative or things
that we don't want to happen to happen, everybody has
to be with it.

Speaker 5 (03:02:06):
Like now Juji's gonna be on.

Speaker 33 (03:02:08):
He's doing get him up again, tell him, tell him
that you already got me this niggaive life.

Speaker 5 (03:02:15):
What did you what did you say?

Speaker 15 (03:02:16):
I know they asked you on the album being called
street Level because I told him. I remember it was
to beat Us like almost kind of self titled. But
because of that picture, we all like that picture and
ship and then it's called the street level for street
level exactly.

Speaker 5 (03:02:31):
We used to we used to just say street.

Speaker 33 (03:02:34):
Level, Yeah, yeah, How else are you going to identify
the album? You can't say, oh, they beating us album.

Speaker 12 (03:02:42):
Yeah, exact exactly. That picture.

Speaker 15 (03:02:47):
That picture is crazy, bro, and that don't that title
just just put it all right there in a nutshell
man like street level.

Speaker 5 (03:02:56):
That's so crazy. And you know that's another thing back
then that I forgot to tell them, Like we didn't
want nobody to see our faces.

Speaker 33 (03:03:04):
Remember used to put our faces on no covers in
the back. We was all blurried like like ep has
like a little like like just the little eyes. You
see the eyes, but you're still wondering, who the fuck
are these guys?

Speaker 5 (03:03:20):
Yeah, and the album came out, it's all black with
a street level. Who the fuck are these guys? You

Speaker 15 (03:03:26):
Yeah, then we had that whole photo shoot was blurry pictures, right, like.

Speaker 5 (03:03:33):
We're all smunted, just like.

Speaker 11 (03:03:36):
Well, how'd you feel about doing videos?

Speaker 33 (03:03:37):
Then the videos we would try to do them the
same way. It was that psychedelic ship.

Speaker 17 (03:03:43):
You know.

Speaker 9 (03:03:44):
I hope this energy continues and maybe you guys connect
in another way. Uh you know because as a huge, huge,
huge Beatnuts fan and a fan of hip hop, it
would be really, really fucking nice to see you guys,
you know, share the mike one more time. You know,
I know it's right now. It's the awkwardness you guys,

(03:04:06):
candy say much. That's what I'm saying, Like you want
it to happen.

Speaker 13 (03:04:10):
Let's let's do this organically. Does anyone have any fucking
rhyme still buried in the back of their head? That
they just want to throw out.

Speaker 5 (03:04:17):
Have I have a song I want to sing. There,
I go, there, I go, there, I go.

Speaker 12 (03:04:27):
Pretty baby you.

Speaker 5 (03:04:28):
All the song snaps Mike, can.

Speaker 6 (03:04:30):
I do that?

Speaker 5 (03:04:35):
Flime me to.

Speaker 9 (03:04:43):
People?

Speaker 5 (03:04:43):
The remix? I want to do the remix to that
tech remix text no damn fl fl flop flop f too.

Speaker 33 (03:04:55):
And then then in the middle it breaks down into
a little hip hop beat like a dirty feat about that.

Speaker 5 (03:05:03):
Yo.

Speaker 12 (03:05:03):
Listen Jay, Yo.

Speaker 15 (03:05:05):
When you get when you get Jew, when you reach
out to Jew and you get Jew, right, you say
what you said, say all of that to Jerry, say
that to Jew, be like, Yo, I want to hear
y'all all some ship together that that's what you're gonna
get your ultimate answerrect.

Speaker 5 (03:05:23):
Yeah, but you gotta let him know. You gotta let
him know that it's just gonna be y'all and him.
We're not with alltogether.

Speaker 11 (03:05:30):
I did.

Speaker 9 (03:05:32):
He told me like he's he doesn't really like interviews
of any kind. He's he feels as awkward and whatnot.
He's not interview you do.

Speaker 5 (03:05:39):
Well, you know what did you tell him? What what
questions you're going to ask him?

Speaker 9 (03:05:44):
I told him the premise, I mean, we want to
talk about this album, the same thing what we did
with you and now like just break it down to
because you told us stories at alten and you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (03:05:55):
Even even if you got him on the thing for
a minute or two minutes, that would it would be enough.
You know, tell him, y'all, just three questions.

Speaker 9 (03:06:04):
How about this? Because I don't have his math, Why
don't do you talk to him regularly?

Speaker 5 (03:06:09):
I mean, yeah, I could hallow him.

Speaker 9 (03:06:11):
We'll just say, look, I did the interview. It was cool,
we had a good time, and you know, if you
want to do it, these guys would love to have
you because I only have them on i G.

Speaker 33 (03:06:19):
So I don't have all right, but check this out.
If I tell him that, he's gonna be like, yeah, okay,
cool and never call you. But if you you hit
him up, he's gonna see, oh ship is Jason, you
know from from the end. So he's gonna pick it up.

Speaker 13 (03:06:35):
You know, why don't you say, hey, do you mind
if if I drop him your number? Real cool people
they get it, you know, unlike most people who interviewed
in the past.

Speaker 9 (03:06:44):
Uh, you know, I let him know.

Speaker 5 (03:06:48):
I'll tell him something. See what's up?

Speaker 9 (03:06:50):
Yeah, I mean, I love we would all love for
it to happen because it would be like it'd be
a trifecta to have all three of you guys.

Speaker 15 (03:06:56):
You know, I'm gonna hear Jason Vic's number because Vic
talks to JUW two on the red Like you know
what I'm saying, Like not every day, but he talks
to him regularly.

Speaker 5 (03:07:06):
You understand what I'm saying. So I'll hit you with Vic.
I tell Vick, I'm gonna hit you with his number.
I'll text you.

Speaker 33 (03:07:12):
You remember you remember Johnny Famlari May of course the engineer.
Of course, that's what I was just telling him, like
it was a team of us, of producers and engineers,
and that's what made our music crazy.

Speaker 5 (03:07:27):
You know.

Speaker 15 (03:07:27):
Yeah, Yo, we had what you call to who else
we brought in somebody towards the end of the out
What was the other dudes we had that was engineering us?
Remember the black dude that he had used to wear
rings and all that type of shit all the time.

Speaker 5 (03:07:45):
Not Truy.

Speaker 15 (03:07:48):
No, not Troy high Toower, but the other like slug
Greg Man and then I think we even fucked with
the Japanese dude man, Peter ain't even know his name.

Speaker 12 (03:08:01):
Man, y'all should y'all should talk to Pe. He was
there every day.

Speaker 9 (03:08:05):
It's gonna be a seven hour tribute to the street level.

Speaker 5 (03:08:10):
He could probably just give you some nice sound bites.

Speaker 9 (03:08:13):
You know about the guy who was delivering your food
every day.

Speaker 15 (03:08:15):
Let's yeah, he was around, he saw it. We might
can reach out to some old girls that can give
you their their perspective.

Speaker 11 (03:08:26):
That was getting interesting.

Speaker 9 (03:08:27):
We got we got Shannon's number.

Speaker 5 (03:08:29):
Yeah, I can reach out Vic Vic Yo, get get juju.

Speaker 33 (03:08:36):
Maybe maybe if enough people, like I said, put that
flame under his eyes, he's gonna be like, all right,
because that's how he is.

Speaker 5 (03:08:44):
If you keep fucking smacking them, let's give it.

Speaker 9 (03:08:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 33 (03:08:48):
Yeah, after the albums got done that way, like I
would tell him he didn't like off the books to
be and I was like, Yo, you're fucking stupid.

Speaker 5 (03:08:57):
This ship is a fucking than damn so's he's like that,
you know. Sometimes he could be funny.

Speaker 9 (03:09:05):
All right, So before we end the recording session, any
last words y'all want to say to one another, and
maybe another ten years, you guys don't see one another,
So get it in now.

Speaker 5 (03:09:15):
The next Zoom Video Blue Meeting.

Speaker 9 (03:09:19):
I'm gonna do everything in my power to make something happen.
I mean, like like he said, we bought Eric and
Redman together after all those years from our interview of
uh Eric sermon, So you never know, maybe something happens
with you guys.

Speaker 33 (03:09:33):
Hey, you know, you know I got music ready, and
I got I got verses, and I know that's just ready.

Speaker 15 (03:09:40):
So whatever, whatever, let's listen listen. I just I was
telling them already about the album that I'm doing right,
and it had got a lot of things that got
messed up because of this whole COVID ship and all
of this. And we were talking to Harrio's wife. Harrio's
HARRYO was the dude. I don't know if y'all I
know Harrio California.

Speaker 5 (03:10:01):

got in touch on her to get but she said,
nobody's fucking around with those studios. So this week, in
the next within the next week, I'm getting all the

of that to do that ship, to just download these
ships on the laptop. I'm getting the whole mic ship, the.

Speaker 33 (03:10:26):
Speaker, little microphone, got little pro tools or whatever. I've
been telling Juju, shit is man easy, Yo. He's like, Yo,

like you know that's That's another thing about Juju, Like
he's still banging the plasts and parents like he ain't

Flipping like you know that on the doors yet like
I like to be on.

Speaker 10 (03:11:23):
To give less your number?

Speaker 9 (03:11:32):
Less? Tariko? This is again. This has been fun because
you allowed us to relive these stories and these moments
and the feelings that we had when we first played
this album twenty six years ago.

Speaker 10 (03:11:43):
So thank you guys, and really really.

Speaker 5 (03:11:46):

Back at it Brown.

Speaker 4 (03:13:10):
All right, fellas, I'll tell you what. This episode is
definitely gonna remain at the top of the list of
something special because not only did we showcase an album
that we all love and so many of our fellow
hip hop heads out there love this album as well,
but it was just so fucking cool to interview Altarique

(03:13:33):
and Psycho Less right amazing and do.

Speaker 10 (03:13:36):
It on Zoom like we fucking hung out with them.

Speaker 4 (03:13:39):
Man, it was cool as shit of beers, you know.
I mean, like, I fucking you know, Psycho Less is
hanging out wearing a hat when I thought it was
Colonel Sanders smoking a fucking joint, but no, it was
Abraham Lincoln and.

Speaker 13 (03:13:53):
Uh for the people, man, it was.

Speaker 4 (03:13:55):
It was pretty cool and they were very genuine and
you know, I just want to say them again for sharing.

Speaker 9 (03:14:00):
Their time with us. This is like the first time
and I don't know how long that Altarique and Psycho lest.

Speaker 13 (03:14:07):
Like spoke yeah, same time.

Speaker 9 (03:14:09):
So it was it was a cool moment for us
because we kind of helped bring them back together. And
for us, we got to relive this this summertime classic
that was dropped twenty six years ago, and we went
track by track and we got stories, and we spoke
to Al twice, you know, because we recorded this two
different times for because we had these guys on and

(03:14:31):
it was just a really really uh it was an
awesome experience. Hopefully in this this show will translate to
the listeners, but for us it was it was something
I think we'll always remember to uh, to celebrate an album,
a classic albums with the people that made it. So
with that said, I want to send a shout out
to Altarique, Psycho, Less, junk Yard, juju v I, c

(03:14:54):
you know, everybody that was a part of making this
classic album. And uh, you know, you know we should
do We all kind of had like a favorite we
mentioned on the show. But right now, at the top
of your head, each of you tell me what we
should what's your favorite track on Street Level minds?

Speaker 4 (03:15:09):
Get funky, my.

Speaker 14 (03:15:10):
Favorite fried Chicken without question, hard, raw up tempo, that's
my Steves Jay.

Speaker 13 (03:15:16):
What are you thinking?

Speaker 9 (03:15:20):
I guess I'm gonna go with hit me with that
because I think that's just a perfect joint. So yeah,
I'm gonna go with that.

Speaker 13 (03:15:27):
I'm stuck between hit me with that and yeah you
get props. I mean when you really break down those
samples and things, Like I said earlier in the interview,
there are three or four songs that are perfect samples,
and both of them happen to be the ones I
just mentioned. And you know what most people don't realize

(03:15:48):
is the beat Nuts themselves, whether it's less or Juju.
I mean, they carved out and they were pioneers of
this completely collage art create digging, and they really created
a whole new lane when it came to production. And
that was kind of my favorite part about this whole episode,
you know, the fact that we can dive back into

(03:16:10):
original samples, the fact that we can talk to the
creators of this style of production and go through each
track with them and why, and you know, kind of
like the camaraderie that was behind the carefully crafted samples
that were thrown down. I mean, these guys were so
ahead of their time. So this was a pleasure for me.

(03:16:31):
It was a pleasure to be a part of it.
With the two guys that joined us, Alt tariqu and less.
I would have loved to have Juju, you know, because
there's definitely different perspectives. But this is what take it
personal is all about man bringing you the real shit
from the real people. These are the legends man oh.

Speaker 4 (03:16:47):
To share man Yo yo Juju was missed.

Speaker 14 (03:16:49):
So hey, guys, it's right at twenty six years ago
when this album came out, right June twenty first, to
be exactly, So we're right on time.

Speaker 11 (03:16:57):
With dropping this episode. That's perfect.

Speaker 14 (03:16:59):
And some of these stories, like you said, dre Man,
they sounded like they were having a hell of a
party as they recorded this whole album, and they really
brought that the life.

Speaker 13 (03:17:08):
Yeah, it's crazy, man.

Speaker 9 (03:17:09):
You know.

Speaker 13 (03:17:09):
I was just glad to in a sense be a
fly on the wall for the things that we didn't know.

Speaker 10 (03:17:15):
Hopefully we hear some more music.

Speaker 9 (03:17:17):
It sounds like both of these guys want to resume
making music, especially as a collective. So now hopefully, you know,
Juju gets on board and we can hear some beatnuts
in twenty twenty. You know, we could say we weren't
partly responsible for maybe making that happen too again again,
so I just did something and it's kind of blowing
my mind.

Speaker 4 (03:17:37):
Right, So we're talking about twenty six years later, right,
So nineteen ninety four to twenty twenty, twenty six years
So I did the opposite of that. Twenty six years
before nineteen ninety four was nineteen sixty eight, and that
was headlined by albums such as Electric Lady Land by
Jimmy Hendrix, The Beatles, White Album, Rolling Stones, Beggars Banquet

(03:18:02):
came out. Just it's just fucking crazy, man, How time
is just like the continuous thing and just never stops, dude.
And it's amazing how from sixty eight to ninety four
the amount of quality and content and growth and like
everything that happened to music. But if you look at
nineteen ninety four to twenty twenty, what the fuck, man,

(03:18:22):
what's happened? Like, let's bring it back to the art
and the realness, dude, and the shit nowadays, keV.

Speaker 13 (03:18:33):
You showcase some great records there, but you know, there's
a lot of shit as well. So just like in
the world of hip hop, there's a lot of nonsense.
And that's kind of the whole point of this show
of what we're trying to do.

Speaker 14 (03:18:45):
Hey, where would you guys put this. Would you put
this inside your top twenty albums of all time?

Speaker 15 (03:18:51):
For me?

Speaker 4 (03:18:52):
Yeah, it's yeah, I think it's there.

Speaker 13 (03:18:54):
It's close. It's close, because you got to remember, I
have probably an extra decade of that long kind and
I'm being kind and I'm saying I have an extra
decade of music that motivated me, move me, and you know,
was an influence to even what the Street Level album
was all about. So that being said, top twenty is tough,

(03:19:16):
I mean, of all time, but this record is so
damn good and there's no way that you just don't
have a smile on your face from you to ear.

Speaker 9 (03:19:26):
We're talking hip hop albums. I mean, I think it's
fair to say that hip hop albums, it's definitely for
me a top twenties. It's probably even closer to fifteen
for me, because this is one of those albums like
Midnight Marauders or Low End Theory that you can listen
from like front to back and back to front and
not even think twice about skipping. Like you know what

(03:19:46):
I'm saying, it's it's it's a perfect album. Also, I
think what adds to this album is it is one
of those that just like I said earlier. It doesn't
get the kind of recognition as the others. So for us,
we kind of hold it near and dear to us
because it's like ours. It's more intimate. It's like, you know,
it's not like a commercial release that was shared by everyone.

(03:20:07):
This is one of those releases that was a cult classic.
It was intimate. We mean, it's kind of like a
part of our upbringing, if you will. And because of that,
I hold it near and dear to my heart and
it's definitely within my top fifteen hip hop albums.

Speaker 4 (03:20:20):
Hell yeah, man, every time I hear this album, it
takes me back to like high school, cutting class and
smoking blunts and fogging out cars. Bro, It's fucking shit.
That's timeless, you know.

Speaker 13 (03:20:30):
To bring out what you were saying, Jay, I think
what people don't realize is a lot of albums, and
some even that Kevin mentioned earlier, as far as the
earlier rock era, I mean, they were panned.

Speaker 23 (03:20:41):
Man.

Speaker 13 (03:20:41):
They really did not get the recognition. And like a
lot of things with music or death, sometimes you don't
see the genius in what people do until it's over
or they're gone. So it's nice that we can celebrate
this record while you know everyone's still alive and can
kind of feel what we're doing here tonight.

Speaker 9 (03:21:00):
Into that and I may or may not have jerked
off to the first five seconds of Lissy.

Speaker 13 (03:21:04):
I'm just dude, I do that all the time. I
get a fucking crazy heart on every time I hear it.
I'm like, oh, man, do I need to rub one
out real quick? That's so funny you said that.

Speaker 14 (03:21:14):
Man, I think we have like consecutive shows now do
with jack off jokes.

Speaker 13 (03:21:18):
Kevin was hoping his daughter would hear this one.

Speaker 9 (03:21:21):
When you're talking beat nuts, you know, you gotta it's appropriate. Yeah,
it kind of goes to the territory.

Speaker 11 (03:21:27):
So all I know.

Speaker 4 (03:21:28):
All I know is that when I die, and like
my kids might decide that I finally listen to like
the podcast that that daddy did, they're gonna be like,
fucking our dad was a douchebag.

Speaker 13 (03:21:41):
I would say, degenerate. Douchebag's a little rough anyway. I
hope you guys enjoyed hanging in there with us tonight.
Really great show. I think that if you think that
there's something else out there that kind of doesn't get
the shine it deserves, definitely threw out the comments and
get involved. You know this is why we do it. Roger,

(03:22:02):
