What if you could turn your childhood passion into a thriving career? Join us as we sit down with Dos Muchos, an inspiring DJ who turned his love for music, ignited by the movie "Breaking," into a lifelong journey. From his early days hustling in Oceanside, California, and Yuma, Arizona, to his current life in Bakersfield, Dos Muchos shares personal anecdotes about the friends and family who played crucial roles in his DJing adventure. Discover the challenges he faced in an era before digital conveniences like YouTube, and how he navigated costly equipment and limited mentorship opportunities to carve out his place in the industry.
In a heartfelt reflection, Dos Muchos discusses the mentors and influences that shaped his path, including memorable performances by DJ Crystal Glove and Ice-T, and a pivotal seminar encounter leading to mentorship. He opens up about the unique camaraderie within the DJ community, the significance of seizing opportunities, and the sometimes perilous balance between ambition and caution. Through nostalgic stories, we explore how early breaks might have altered his life trajectory, particularly during the transformative 90s.
Finally, we delve into the intricate art of DJing, balancing crowd-pleasers with hidden gems to create unforgettable experiences. Dos Muchos shares his strategy for reading audiences and mixing iconic tracks with lesser-known favorites, emphasizing the evolution of music consumption from tapes to digital platforms like Twitch. We wrap up with an uplifting message about the importance of support, resilience, and the shared love of music that binds DJs together.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Hey, there you go, my guy, how did?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
you get started with DJing.
Well, man, like it started,like when I was young, I was,
you know, just growing up around, you know, just music, just,
you know, music was alwaysaround me.
Everybody in my family wasalways listening to music.
And then, ultimately, man, Ijust went to go see my mom.
She, you know, she was a singlemom.
She took me to go see, well,she went to go see Breaking, you
know, but she had to bring uswith her.
So I went to go see Breaking,man, and, you know, breaking
(02:00):
Part One it was 1984, and thatwas the first time I ever seen a
DJ.
You know what I mean, doingwhat he do and making the crowd
rock.
And I was just like man, I waslike I want to do that, man I
was like that's what I want todo.
And then you know what I mean.
Years went by.
You know, I just pretty muchjust tried to find any kind of
information I could on it.
I'm watching videos, I'mlistening to.
You know, I'm saying justtrying to figure things out,
(02:22):
just pretty much.
You know there's no youtubethere's nothing back there, it's
all through osmosis I'm overhere just trying to figure it
out.
And then ultimately, you know,um, my aunt, she started dating
some dj and then you know, Imean I was handling him all the
time and he's taking me tolittle gigs and stuff.
And then one day, you know, Imean, he brought the stuff over
there, man, and he was just likeman know, he walked me through
(02:42):
a couple basics and then afterthat, man, I was just pulling up
to any place I seen that had,like I was basically just trying
to put it together man, youwere hustling yeah yeah, and you
know, and I, like everybody,like you know, at that time, you
know, equipment costed money.
You know what I mean All theserecords, and you know ain't no
(03:03):
laptops or nothing, so that wasa thing.
And then, ultimately, like afew of my friends you know I'm
sitting around the way they had,you know, like my boy, richard
McGee, like his daddy was a DJ,so I would go to his house and
I'm over here we're digging intocrates and stuff and I'm
rapping, and let me just getthis out the way I was, I was
listening.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Don't ask for none of it.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I was listening to some of it.
I was busting some of that oldstuff back in the day and I was
like, nah, we're not doing thislike we're not like there was a
few years back you probably.
I probably let you hear some ofthis shit.
But now I'm like, nah, we'regood anyway, going on to that
For the most part when we wasn'trapping and stuff.
I'm over here putting togethermixtapes, but him being a DJ at
(03:45):
this time, didn't?
No DJ just let anybody justtouch their stuff, even just
when my aunt's boyfriend wasletting me on there.
I had a certain amount of timeand ultimately they're like all
right, get out the way.
Motherfucker, it just soundslike shit right now.
Excuse the language.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
He's good Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Then, in the same token, like we get over here and
, um, my boy, like we're puttingtogether these tapes, and I'm
just pretty much just like, hey,man, you know, bring it in like
this and do it like this, andblah, blah, blah.
And then we know I go to myfriend's house that you know had
little, you know, turntablesand stuff on top of the.
Uh, you know, on top you knowthe little house turntables, and
we sit there and put some shittogether, you know, I mean, and

right on point and then bam, Iwas hooked.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I was like I need this.

like hey, youngster, like youwant to go ahead and rock the
rest of this, I'd have been like, yeah, let me, let me get it
you know what I'm saying butyeah, and ever since then, like
especially being on that, likethat was, like you know, I mean,
like I was like hopping in acorvette you know what I'm
saying?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
that was like, like you know, this is behind the
driver.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, that was two techniques, and you know, I
mean I was, I was on and I waslike, okay, I like this shit
right here, boy.
And then and then, like all theturn I had, they didn't even
have pitch bend on them so Icould adjust the speed.
You could adjust it up and down, and I was like oh man, I was
like yeah, and then, like I said, after that was over with it
was like what now?
Now I got to get that again.
(07:15):
It took a year, it took acouple decades.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So what was his name?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
DJ Master, d Master.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
D.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, he got a son that be DJing out there in Yuma,
dj Sosa.
And yeah, you know like, andit's funny because I got to-
years later, I finally got topull up on his dad and give his
dad his props.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Like man like you're, like I don't know if you
remember me, but you're thefirst one to ever let me touch.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You're the first DJ I've ever seen.
You're the first one to everlet me touch the turntables.
Man and I wouldn't be doing itand I'm DJing.
As I told him, I was like I'mdown here today.
I live in California.
I'm down here DJing todaybecause of what?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
you do.
I was like so yeah, I was gladI was able to do that.
Man, I really am it's amazinghow something like that can can
shape or or direct somebody'slife in a certain just a moment,
right, just a moment, a smallgesture of him allowing you to
get up, rock a couple, get thatfeel and you were off to the
(08:17):
races right, you know, I meanlike it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Like I said, it took a minute to get there.
Just think about it.
If I didn't have that, though,to fall back on like in life, to
where I could be like you knowwhat, let me go ahead and do
this DJ shit.
You know this, motherfucker,let me get loose one time.
Let me go out I'm pretty goodat this Like if he never gave me
that opportunity.
Who?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
knows what.
You know where I'd be right now.
Real shit, who's your biginfluences, man?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, I got to go ahead and say this because, like
I told you earlier in the storyabout the first DJ I seen on
the movie, you know what I meanDJ Crystal Glove.
I seen him, you know what I'msaying, you know him and Ice-T
up there doing their thing and Iwas like man, you know.
And then fast forward, you know, about six years later I mean
six years back from now I wentto some seminar you know what I
(09:08):
mean and got to meet the man youknow what I mean himself you
know what I'm saying to where.
You know he over here didn'tput me on gigs and stuff.
You know what I'm saying andyou know seeing how swell what I
was doing and you know what Imean.
And man, like you know what Imean, like the first DJ I ever
seen, you know what I mean.
Just like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Was it starstruck?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, it was, but then, like you know, because I'm
like I don't- know it's weird.
It's because, like there's alot of people I've met and you
know what I mean that were likeI've seen, like from afar.
You know what.
I mean like stars or whatever.
You want to call them,celebrities, whatever.
But being around him, like Isaid, the DJ community is a
(09:45):
little bit.
You know, the vibe behind a DJis it's a crew, you know what I
mean.
Like to put it in perspective.
It's almost like you're dealingwith music nerds.
Everybody doesn't you know whatI'm saying.
Everybody doesn't move to thesame beat that we moved to.
Sure, you know what I mean.
Like you can't sit up here andtalk about DJing with somebody
you know what I?
You have to explain everything.
And then there's certain peopleyou just talk to you know I
mean the other djs and you'rejust like boom, everything, just
(10:06):
yeah, it just flows.
It's a.
It's a.
It's a secret society, you knowyeah, it's crazy and that's what
and that's and that's how Ifelt around him and you know I
mean, and that's why, like youknow, it's like something, I
gotta step back and be like man,like damn, like like this, the
dude that you you know what I'msaying made the drum.
You know what I mean.
That you know he'll produce theChronic, this, the dude, that
you know what I'm saying.
(10:26):
You know phone tap.
You know what I'm saying, drDre you know what I mean
Explosive.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
He's the one that did the drums on Explosive.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I have to sit back sometimes and be like damn, you
know, I know you helped on theChronic 2001.
I was like did Eminem ever tellyou that your song is the first
song that he ever heard, thefirst rap song he ever heard
that made him want to rap and hegoes?
He did tell me that.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, you know what I mean, that song Reckless with
him and Ice-T, and I'm just likedamn, and you know what I mean.
And then he produced that wholesoundtrack and he was just like
a DJ, just like you and me, andhe said the story.
He said the whole story behindthat was they were making the
movie and they were in the clubthat's in the movie Radiotron.
It was actually calledsomething else, but in the movie
(11:13):
I think they just called itRadiotron.
I might be mistaken, but eitherway it goes, he's in there and
he has some girlfriend at thetime.
No-transcript.
They're like you know, do youknow?
Like you know, if we see you DJ, you know how to make a
soundtrack.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
He's like yeah, he's like I had.
No, he didn't know it, but hey,I'm going to worldwide.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Celebrity status yeah , and he's like whoa, like that.
He just took a chance.
You got to believe in yourselfyou got to take a chance on
yourself, and ain't nobody elsegoing?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
to do it for you.
I mean, how many times are yougoing to be presented with that
opportunity?
So, whether you know it or not,you have to take it.
I'll figure it out as I go manand regret boy, nobody likes
regret I said, regret to me isalmost like it's like it's like
dying all over, it's like dyinglike a million deaths like you
(12:10):
think about.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Like man, I should have went and did that that one
time and yeah yeah, becausethere's a, there's quite a few
opportunities, you know, I mean,they didn't come with dj,
because with dj no no, but butlike throughout my life I've
learned like there's beenopportunities where I'm like man
, I should have stepped up hereand did this.
You know what I mean.
I could have did that.
But then again, on the back endof it, I think about it all the
time.
I'm like man, that shit couldhave corrupted me.
You know, at a young age I'mlike I think about when I was
(12:32):
young.
If I started DJing when I wasyoung, all kind of mess I would
have been in at a young age,especially in the 90s.
In and stuff.
Man ain't no telling.
I have my own little perceptionabout it, like in my hometown.
I always tell my people I'mlike if I was DJing in my
hometown I'd probably be inthere DJing, I'd probably pull
some little you know what I'msaying some little cute little
(12:54):
thing.
Next thing you know I'm in theclub probably get tired of me.
Some new DJ comes in there.
I'm bitter about that.
Next thing, you know, she'sover here bopping around.
I'm over here pulling over heretrying to, you know, causing
domestics and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I go to prison, Next thing you know.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I get out, she's with my homeboy.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
And I'm outside the house trying to you know what
I'm saying texting her, tryingto get the app.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You know I'm saying I ain't got no service at the
time.
All the way do it all the waybad.
You know what I mean yeah tellme what's your favorite genre
man like?
If it's up to you, if you getto play your own music, if it's,
you know if I can, if I canstay in the old school pocket
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
like that's my, that's my pocket, because I like
it, because there's man,there's just so much built on it
.
And you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I mean, there's so many branches to it.
And it's like and when youreally think about it, when you
go into old school, you startgoing deep, you start jumping
into other genres.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You know what I'm saying.
Like me, growing up, I rememberjust listening to older people
talk about parties they used togo to and I was always just
listening to when they starttalking about the music One dude
was talking about yeah man, Iremember I was in there, man,
and they dropped a let's Danceby David Bowie.
You know what I mean.
I was in their band and theydropped, you know, a let's Dance
by David Bowie.
You know what I mean, and this,this, and that I'm like for
real, like you know what I mean,like yeah, like, oh man, what
(14:22):
is grooving in that?
Or you know what I mean and I'mlike, okay, like you know what
I mean and I see that you know,like, okay, it's, you know what
I'm saying and and you know, ofcourse we can go ahead and, and
you know, by the song I justnamed, we can go ahead and be
like okay, I see the vibe theywas in.
They was in a funky vibe but yetthey didn't let you know what
(14:42):
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The genre go ahead and go over and hit some George
Michael or something.
Right, right, right.
Exactly, that's what.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I'm saying Like they was just partying.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You know what's so broad, right, right.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, you know I mean , and that's, and that's why I,
that's, that's why I like, andthen, like I said, from any,
from there I can go anywhere.
You know, I mean I could, youknow, I mean I could be over
here in this.
Okay, I could be like okay, youknow, we've been here too long,
let me go over here into intothis hip-hop, or maybe I can go
in this rock set.
It doesn't matter where I can,I got so many branches I can go
right there.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Especially because so much is sampled from the old
school.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Right, we can flow in .
Right, yeah, exactly.
And then also another thing islike you know, it's old school
music and a lot of people got alot of good memories behind it.
You know what I mean.
And then you know, you got theones.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You know what I'm saying where you know
sing-alongs, you know I'm sayingeverybody, you know everybody
the whole party's in here.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
They know the song.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You know I mean popping on sweet caroline, right
, right hey, you know what?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I haven't been nowhere where I've been able to
run that one.
No, no oh man I haven't, Ihaven't been, I haven't been.
You know, I know that's thego-to, I know that's the, that's
the, that's the.
You can go ahead, get the wholeplace, you know, jamming with
that one.
You know I mean, yeah, Ihaven't, I haven't got to drop
that one.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, man, you gotta drop yeah, I know I gotta
surprise somebody.
Yeah, yeah, boom, yeah, it'sgot, it's got.
You know what?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
it is, it's gotta be the right place, you know yeah,
oh, yeah, it sure does, man.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, yeah, there was a.
Uh, there was a crate that Iseen while uh I was scrolling
through.
It was a spotify crate.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I already know what you're about to say I already
know what you're about to say.
I can show it to you right now.
It was pretty recent rightsongs that white people cannot
resist.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah songs that white people go crazy to yeah yeah,
yeah, and then we got thebangers in there.
They got, they got the bangers.
We talk, we talk.
Man don't stop believing.
Oh my God, yeah yeah, woo yeah,journey, oh man, they love that
shit.
Yeah, yeah, I don't, man, Iknow where I can run it.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It ain't even necessarily just all white
people, but like I can run it in, just like you know the right
spot, and it's just like okay,Because, again, music transcends
.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Movies have soundtracks and we hear a song
from a movie.
Whether we're white, Mexican,black, whatever it may be, it's
a great movie.
We love it.
And then we hear that song.
We know it was on that movieand we love the song anyways.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
You just brought one to mind, For instance, one of
the songs I play and when I dropit, I don't care where I drop
it.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't give a fuck where I drop it.
I know where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I know I pick my points.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It's the fucking Grease from Frankie Valli.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Like that one, I drop that one and everybody's like,
oh, it's funky too.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So everybody knows it because they've seen Grease.
It's a classic movie.
Oh man, yeah, All day.
Let's go into your creativeprocess.
So when you're setting up a set, when you're trying to get
through, you're choosing yourtracks, you're trying to create
unique mixes.
What is your mentality ormindset or attack and approach
on creating that?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Okay, that's a very good question.
As a matter of fact, I've neverbeen asked that question before
.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
So y'all get in the first year.
Check this out.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Okay, my process is that we're talking about if
we're somewhere and they ask forsomebody to play music.
Apparently the people that showup there, they want to hear
music.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Me personally.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I don't try to undermine the people's musical
knowledge, okay.
So one thing I try to do itgoes kind of like what you're
saying about the movie thing andthings of that nature Like I
try to I read the crowd and Itry to, like you know, I know,
you know looks can be deceiving,but I try to read the crowd and
be like, okay, these peoplelook like you know what I'm
saying, like you know they mightmess with this, you know I got
(18:37):
to find them.
Okay, but once I do find them,I do, I try to, I don't go off,
I try to keep it on the beatenpath, but I try to go.
And you know those B-sides,like say, for instance, if I'm
playing something off of, let'ssay, let's say playing something
off of, like, say, the Chronicor something.

you know I mean and, that's thatI'm.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I want it to be an experience.

You know what I mean.
So when that music came out andwe had tapes, whatever it may
be, and we weren't able to hit atrack instantly, right, you had
to listen through some tracks,or forward or whatever else, and
or just try to listen throughthe whole album.
Now, there may have been twobangers on the album, right two,
(20:39):
two hot tracks, two singlesthat were on that album, and the
rest of the album might havebeen mediocre, it might have
been okay, it might have beendecent, right, right.
But there's that third or fourthsong in there that they
actually had to listen to to getto that one song that's right
and they oh, I remember thatsong coming up to east 1999 bone

They had to rebuild his ass andthen remember the third one
when they had to open up thefucking thing, and he was yeah,
that's when they went ahead andblew him to bits and Luke loved

Luke him.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
He's like one of the only ones that understood
wookies but see, it's aspiritual thing, you know, like
you know, I mean, I'm fromarizona, you know.
So you know, like I said Icould, I could, you know.
Well, then again, like mepersonally, you know, I mean,
like I had, I had a babysitter.
You speak to me nothing inspanish.
I had to go to esl myself, youknow as a kid so, but the point
being is, like I was saying like, yeah, you can talk spanish, I
(23:16):
going to understand everythingyou're talking about.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I know what's going on Like, yeah, like hey.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Like no, he said he wanted his money back.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Same thing growing up in Arvin as a white guy man,
Right, right, yeah, it was allHispanic man and I was like I
can understand you motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I can't talk little bit in there and be like we're
going to get an understanding.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We're going to be like oh okay.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Everything is going to be all right when we leave.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
So I'm going to sway real quick.
We had a little talk the otherday.
We were talking about top five,top 10, top 15 black actors Got
you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Oh man, oh yeah, Okay .
Speaker 1 (23:57):
She had Will Smith in the top five.
I'm a top 15 somewhere.
Will Smith is in the top 15, Iagree.
However, we googled it right,Because it's like man, there's a
ton that we forget about.
She didn't know Tupac acted.
Go ahead and speak on it.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I did know he acted, but you can't put him in the
same place as Will.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Smith.
You can't Wow A poetic justiceabove the rim.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
No, that's a very good argument.
That's a very good argument.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
That's an argument over quality, over quantity.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yes, you know what.
I'm saying that's what theargument is right there, will
Smith cranked out 30 movies, pacdid four or five.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what the argument is.
Right there.
Will Smith cranked out 30movies, pac did four or five.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
And then you know what I mean and then they'll
test.
You know what I'm saying.
Like you know not.
You know what I'm saying.
You're a little younger but Iunderstand, like probably when
you.
You know, at the time I'mpretty sure it was nothing for
an artist to be in a movie.
You know what I'm saying.
At the time, when Tupac was ina movie, it wasn't just him
being a rap artist in a movie,he was acting.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
He really had some.
He went to all them schools andeverything in New York with
Jada and everywhere else.
I mean he was in arts, he wasin performing arts so he knew
acting that was the point.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I think, if anything, I think that was the, that was,
that was the.
That was the point that I think.
If anything, I think that wasthe plan a.
I think I think the acting wasthe plan a.
I think he was like this iswhat I'm gonna go to go do, and
I think the hip-hop thing camearound and he was just like you
know, I don't know this to betrue, but I mean, just see, it
seems like that I've had verymany acting.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Acting might have been safer for the right right
right.
I've had very many.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I've had very.
There's been many, manydiscussions, slash arguments
about, you know tupac, you knowwith a lot of tupac fucking
fanatics and they're.
And I'm like you know, like bro, like he couldn't be, you know,
and please don't, please don't,nobody they're gonna come after
you, man yeah, because we canget deep, but we ain't gonna get
deep.
But the point being is is that,like I'm like, well, look, you
know the man, you know, when hewas a kid, apparently you know
(25:57):
he was going to these schoolsand stuff.
So, like you know, he couldn'thave been thugging the whole
entire time.
I mean, I'm like, but he knowswhat he's talking about.
Like I'm not debating it butlike you know, like don't sit up
here.
You know that's his cast, asthey want.
I'm like no, he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, he was out there doing ballet for a while.
Yeah, y'all better, y'allbetter.
He was doing performing arts.
He was a kid.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
He was a kid once.
Don't act like this man.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Been grown his whole life, Like stop it.
What is that when actors go upon stage and they do an
impromptu act with each other?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
What is?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
that called I forgot what it's called but where the
actors just off the fly say,okay, I'm a dying cancer patient
.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Right, I know what you're talking about and do it
right now.
Right, just right now.
Yeah, I know what you'retalking about, and those were
the schools that he was in.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
So, yeah, he grew up rough.
We know the story about his mom, we know about his father or
lack thereof, Right, and we knew, you know, from Bronx, from New
York to Oakland to you know BayArea and everything else in
that transition.
So you know, I can't doubt thatthe guy actually went through
some tough shit.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, I'm not doubting that, not at all.
You know one thing I have tosay, though, like you know about
, like all the arguments I'vebeen having about like Tupac and
stuff, like boy, like I have tosay, like the fanatics have
died down since the 90s.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Oh, yeah, yeah, because I'm telling you like I
used to boy.
Get into some debates about it.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
It'd be some outlandish stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
And.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I was like man, like calm down, like calm down.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
This dude.
He was a human being.
He's still a normal dude.
Yeah, he's still a guy.
He's not a god, but he blew up.
He blew up.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Oh man, I mean, I don't think nobody knew.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Oh yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Me personally, my awareness to the man I remember
when he came out on the digitalunderground song same song and
that was my favorite verse onthere.

when juice came out, when I seenhim in juice, I hated tupac.

But that shows you how good ofan actor he was, cause I was
like fuck that old sneaky assmotherfucker.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
It's none of the BS, man, right, yeah, yeah, and you

You know it's turned on high.
Speaker 2 (35:33):

same place, like that's assimple as that.

Oh man, you know, just a young man.
You know what I'm saying.
Born in Oceanside, california.
You know what I mean.
Back and forth between thereand Yuma Arizona.
For the most part you know whatI mean.
Grew up in Yuma Arizona andcame out here to Bakersfield.

(01:29):
You know, try to contribute tothis world and be a you know
productive citizen and keeppeople moving to this music.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Hey, there you go, my guy, how did?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
you get started with DJing.
Well, man, like it started,like when I was young, I was,
you know, just growing up around, you know, just music, just,
you know, music was alwaysaround me.
Everybody in my family wasalways listening to music.
And then, ultimately, man, Ijust went to go see my mom.
She, you know, she was a singlemom.
She took me to go see, well,she went to go see Breaking, you
know, but she had to bring uswith her.
So I went to go see Breaking,man, and, you know, breaking
(02:00):
Part One it was 1984, and thatwas the first time I ever seen a
DJ.
You know what I mean, doingwhat he do and making the crowd
rock.
And I was just like man, I waslike I want to do that, man I
was like that's what I want todo.
And then you know what I mean.
Years went by.
You know, I just pretty muchjust tried to find any kind of
information I could on it.
I'm watching videos, I'mlistening to.
You know, I'm saying justtrying to figure things out,
(02:22):
just pretty much.
You know there's no youtubethere's nothing back there, it's
all through osmosis I'm overhere just trying to figure it
out.
And then ultimately, you know,um, my aunt, she started dating
some dj and then you know, Imean I was handling him all the
time and he's taking me tolittle gigs and stuff.
And then one day, you know, Imean, he brought the stuff over
there, man, and he was just likeman know, he walked me through
(02:42):
a couple basics and then afterthat, man, I was just pulling up
to any place I seen that had,like I was basically just trying
to put it together man, youwere hustling yeah yeah, and you
know, and I, like everybody,like you know, at that time, you
know, equipment costed money.
You know what I mean All theserecords, and you know ain't no
(03:03):
laptops or nothing, so that wasa thing.
And then, ultimately, like afew of my friends you know I'm
sitting around the way they had,you know, like my boy, richard
McGee, like his daddy was a DJ,so I would go to his house and
I'm over here we're digging intocrates and stuff and I'm
rapping, and let me just getthis out the way I was, I was
listening.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Don't ask for none of it.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I was listening to some of it.
I was busting some of that oldstuff back in the day and I was
like, nah, we're not doing thislike we're not like there was a
few years back you probably.
I probably let you hear some ofthis shit.
But now I'm like, nah, we'regood anyway, going on to that
For the most part when we wasn'trapping and stuff.
I'm over here putting togethermixtapes, but him being a DJ at
(03:45):
this time, didn't?
No DJ just let anybody justtouch their stuff, even just
when my aunt's boyfriend wasletting me on there.
I had a certain amount of timeand ultimately they're like all
right, get out the way.
Motherfucker, it just soundslike shit right now.
Excuse the language.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
He's good Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Then, in the same token, like we get over here and
, um, my boy, like we're puttingtogether these tapes, and I'm
just pretty much just like, hey,man, you know, bring it in like
this and do it like this, andblah, blah, blah.
And then we know I go to myfriend's house that you know had
little, you know, turntablesand stuff on top of the.
Uh, you know, on top you knowthe little house turntables, and
we sit there and put some shittogether, you know, I mean, and
be over there just playingaround with it, but ultimately
we back here playing and then,um, it's funny, I was talking
about this the other.
(04:25):
Uh, today I put a post up, umabout, um, it was this episode
of everybody hates chris when hewas dj at this party and, uh,
it was almost like that I was atthis uh dance and, uh, there's
one dj, uh, master d um he's,he's actually the first dj I
actually seen with my own twoeyes.
Like that's another thing, likeLike the first time I seen a DJ
in person.
I remember I was on stage and,um, I mean, he was on stage and
(04:48):
they were setting up and I don'teven remember how I got up
there.
But next thing I know I wasstanding right behind him
watching everything he was doingLike.
I don't remember walking fromfrom the crowd to the.
I was just up, okay, woo, woo,and then years later I'm going
to dance.
I'm a teenager and this dude'sDJing my junior high dances.
And then one day we're at thisBoys and Girls Club dance and
(05:09):
I'm just over here in the cut.
Like I usually do when I walkin there, I'm always right
behind the DJ just sitting thereseeing what's going on Soaking
it up.
Yep, and then I just sat thereand I'm watching him and then
he's like you want to get on?
I'm like, yeah, and I mean youunderstand, like this is like
this, ain't this is.
This is not a school function,this is a city teen function.
(05:31):
So it's not like it's justconfined to you.
Know me, my, my, my, my.
You know my fellow students.
This is a you know pretty muchthe city and I just remember
walking over there and goingthrough that crate, and I just
remember pulling out the recordand I just remember putting it
on there.
I could just hear all themurmuring like what's he doing?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Like is he getting on this, this and that?
And I remember the first song Iplayed was Latin Active from
Lighter Shade of Brown.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That was the first song I played and I just
remember, I just boom.
I came right in behind it, likeyou know what I mean.
Boom came in right behind him,boom Came in there, had that one
rocking you know what I'msaying for a minute.
Then I dropped this second tonone.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Fucking Be True to Yourself Came in with that one,
right on point and then bam, Iwas hooked.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I was like I need this.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I need this.
You felt the energy and you fedoff of it and you're like I
need more man.
You want three hundred dollarsright now you don't send in 1993
, or you want to go ahead andrun another set.
You want to keep going.
I don't kept going.
(06:33):
All right, you know what I'msaying.
Just like that it was.
It was the priority level.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, in the feet, just thefeedback like if he'd have been
like hey, youngster, like youwant to go ahead and rock the
rest of this, I'd have been like, yeah, let me, let me get it
you know what I'm saying butyeah, and ever since then, like
especially being on that, likethat was, like you know, I mean,
like I was like hopping in acorvette you know what I'm
saying?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
that was like, like you know, this is behind the
driver.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, that was two techniques, and you know, I
mean I was, I was on and I waslike, okay, I like this shit
right here, boy.
And then and then, like all theturn I had, they didn't even
have pitch bend on them so Icould adjust the speed.
You could adjust it up and down, and I was like oh man, I was
like yeah, and then, like I said, after that was over with it
was like what now?
Now I got to get that again.
(07:15):
It took a year, it took acouple decades.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So what was his name?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
DJ Master, d Master.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
D.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, he got a son that be DJing out there in Yuma,
dj Sosa.
And yeah, you know like, andit's funny because I got to-
years later, I finally got topull up on his dad and give his
dad his props.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Like man like you're, like I don't know if you
remember me, but you're thefirst one to ever let me touch.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You're the first DJ I've ever seen.
You're the first one to everlet me touch the turntables.
Man and I wouldn't be doing itand I'm DJing.
As I told him, I was like I'mdown here today.
I live in California.
I'm down here DJing todaybecause of what?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
you do.
I was like so yeah, I was gladI was able to do that.
Man, I really am it's amazinghow something like that can can
shape or or direct somebody'slife in a certain just a moment,
right, just a moment, a smallgesture of him allowing you to
get up, rock a couple, get thatfeel and you were off to the
(08:17):
races right, you know, I meanlike it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Like I said, it took a minute to get there.
Just think about it.
If I didn't have that, though,to fall back on like in life, to
where I could be like you knowwhat, let me go ahead and do
this DJ shit.
You know this, motherfucker,let me get loose one time.
Let me go out I'm pretty goodat this Like if he never gave me
that opportunity.
Who?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
knows what.
You know where I'd be right now.
Real shit, who's your biginfluences, man?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, I got to go ahead and say this because, like
I told you earlier in the storyabout the first DJ I seen on
the movie, you know what I meanDJ Crystal Glove.
I seen him, you know what I'msaying, you know him and Ice-T
up there doing their thing and Iwas like man, you know.
And then fast forward, you know, about six years later I mean
six years back from now I wentto some seminar you know what I
(09:08):
mean and got to meet the man youknow what I mean himself you
know what I'm saying to where.
You know he over here didn'tput me on gigs and stuff.
You know what I'm saying andyou know seeing how swell what I
was doing and you know what Imean.
And man, like you know what Imean, like the first DJ I ever
seen, you know what I mean.
Just like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Was it starstruck?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, it was, but then, like you know, because I'm
like I don't- know it's weird.
It's because, like there's alot of people I've met and you
know what I mean that were likeI've seen, like from afar.
You know what.
I mean like stars or whatever.
You want to call them,celebrities, whatever.
But being around him, like Isaid, the DJ community is a
(09:45):
little bit.
You know, the vibe behind a DJis it's a crew, you know what I
mean.
Like to put it in perspective.
It's almost like you're dealingwith music nerds.
Everybody doesn't you know whatI'm saying.
Everybody doesn't move to thesame beat that we moved to.
Sure, you know what I mean.
Like you can't sit up here andtalk about DJing with somebody
you know what I?
You have to explain everything.
And then there's certain peopleyou just talk to you know I
mean the other djs and you'rejust like boom, everything, just
(10:06):
yeah, it just flows.
It's a.
It's a.
It's a secret society, you knowyeah, it's crazy and that's what
and that's and that's how Ifelt around him and you know I
mean, and that's why, like youknow, it's like something, I
gotta step back and be like man,like damn, like like this, the
dude that you you know what I'msaying made the drum.
You know what I mean.
That you know he'll produce theChronic, this, the dude, that
you know what I'm saying.
(10:26):
You know phone tap.
You know what I'm saying, drDre you know what I mean
Explosive.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
He's the one that did the drums on Explosive.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I have to sit back sometimes and be like damn, you
know, I know you helped on theChronic 2001.
I was like did Eminem ever tellyou that your song is the first
song that he ever heard, thefirst rap song he ever heard
that made him want to rap and hegoes?
He did tell me that.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, you know what I mean, that song Reckless with
him and Ice-T, and I'm just likedamn, and you know what I mean.
And then he produced that wholesoundtrack and he was just like
a DJ, just like you and me, andhe said the story.
He said the whole story behindthat was they were making the
movie and they were in the clubthat's in the movie Radiotron.
It was actually calledsomething else, but in the movie
(11:13):
I think they just called itRadiotron.
I might be mistaken, but eitherway it goes, he's in there and
he has some girlfriend at thetime.
No-transcript.
They're like you know, do youknow?
Like you know, if we see you DJ, you know how to make a
soundtrack.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
He's like yeah, he's like I had.
No, he didn't know it, but hey,I'm going to worldwide.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Celebrity status yeah , and he's like whoa, like that.
He just took a chance.
You got to believe in yourselfyou got to take a chance on
yourself, and ain't nobody elsegoing?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
to do it for you.
I mean, how many times are yougoing to be presented with that
opportunity?
So, whether you know it or not,you have to take it.
I'll figure it out as I go manand regret boy, nobody likes
regret I said, regret to me isalmost like it's like it's like
dying all over, it's like dyinglike a million deaths like you
(12:10):
think about.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Like man, I should have went and did that that one
time and yeah yeah, becausethere's a, there's quite a few
opportunities, you know, I mean,they didn't come with dj,
because with dj no no, but butlike throughout my life I've
learned like there's beenopportunities where I'm like man
, I should have stepped up hereand did this.
You know what I mean.
I could have did that.
But then again, on the back endof it, I think about it all the
time.
I'm like man, that shit couldhave corrupted me.
You know, at a young age I'mlike I think about when I was
(12:32):
young.
If I started DJing when I wasyoung, all kind of mess I would
have been in at a young age,especially in the 90s.
In and stuff.
Man ain't no telling.
I have my own little perceptionabout it, like in my hometown.
I always tell my people I'mlike if I was DJing in my
hometown I'd probably be inthere DJing, I'd probably pull
some little you know what I'msaying some little cute little
(12:54):
thing.
Next thing you know I'm in theclub probably get tired of me.
Some new DJ comes in there.
I'm bitter about that.
Next thing, you know, she'sover here bopping around.
I'm over here pulling over heretrying to, you know, causing
domestics and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I go to prison, Next thing you know.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I get out, she's with my homeboy.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
And I'm outside the house trying to you know what
I'm saying texting her, tryingto get the app.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You know I'm saying I ain't got no service at the
time.
All the way do it all the waybad.
You know what I mean yeah tellme what's your favorite genre
man like?
If it's up to you, if you getto play your own music, if it's,
you know if I can, if I canstay in the old school pocket
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
like that's my, that's my pocket, because I like
it, because there's man,there's just so much built on it
.
And you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I mean, there's so many branches to it.
And it's like and when youreally think about it, when you
go into old school, you startgoing deep, you start jumping
into other genres.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You know what I'm saying.
Like me, growing up, I rememberjust listening to older people
talk about parties they used togo to and I was always just
listening to when they starttalking about the music One dude
was talking about yeah man, Iremember I was in there, man,
and they dropped a let's Danceby David Bowie.
You know what I mean.
I was in their band and theydropped, you know, a let's Dance
by David Bowie.
You know what I mean, and this,this, and that I'm like for
real, like you know what I mean,like yeah, like, oh man, what
(14:22):
is grooving in that?
Or you know what I mean and I'mlike, okay, like you know what
I mean and I see that you know,like, okay, it's, you know what
I'm saying and and you know, ofcourse we can go ahead and, and
you know, by the song I justnamed, we can go ahead and be
like okay, I see the vibe theywas in.
They was in a funky vibe but yetthey didn't let you know what
(14:42):
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The genre go ahead and go over and hit some George
Michael or something.
Right, right, right.
Exactly, that's what.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I'm saying Like they was just partying.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You know what's so broad, right, right.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, you know I mean , and that's, and that's why I,
that's, that's why I like, andthen, like I said, from any,
from there I can go anywhere.
You know, I mean I could, youknow, I mean I could be over
here in this.
Okay, I could be like okay, youknow, we've been here too long,
let me go over here into intothis hip-hop, or maybe I can go
in this rock set.
It doesn't matter where I can,I got so many branches I can go
right there.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Especially because so much is sampled from the old
school.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Right, we can flow in .
Right, yeah, exactly.
And then also another thing islike you know, it's old school
music and a lot of people got alot of good memories behind it.
You know what I mean.
And then you know, you got theones.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You know what I'm saying where you know
sing-alongs, you know I'm sayingeverybody, you know everybody
the whole party's in here.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
They know the song.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You know I mean popping on sweet caroline, right
, right hey, you know what?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I haven't been nowhere where I've been able to
run that one.
No, no oh man I haven't, Ihaven't been, I haven't been.
You know, I know that's thego-to, I know that's the, that's
the, that's the.
You can go ahead, get the wholeplace, you know, jamming with
that one.
You know I mean, yeah, Ihaven't, I haven't got to drop
that one.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, man, you gotta drop yeah, I know I gotta
surprise somebody.
Yeah, yeah, boom, yeah, it'sgot, it's got.
You know what?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
it is, it's gotta be the right place, you know yeah,
oh, yeah, it sure does, man.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, yeah, there was a.
Uh, there was a crate that Iseen while uh I was scrolling
through.
It was a spotify crate.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I already know what you're about to say I already
know what you're about to say.
I can show it to you right now.
It was pretty recent rightsongs that white people cannot
resist.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah songs that white people go crazy to yeah yeah,
yeah, and then we got thebangers in there.
They got, they got the bangers.
We talk, we talk.
Man don't stop believing.
Oh my God, yeah yeah, woo yeah,journey, oh man, they love that
shit.
Yeah, yeah, I don't, man, Iknow where I can run it.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It ain't even necessarily just all white
people, but like I can run it in, just like you know the right
spot, and it's just like okay,Because, again, music transcends
.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Movies have soundtracks and we hear a song
from a movie.
Whether we're white, Mexican,black, whatever it may be, it's
a great movie.
We love it.
And then we hear that song.
We know it was on that movieand we love the song anyways.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
You just brought one to mind, For instance, one of
the songs I play and when I dropit, I don't care where I drop
it.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't give a fuck where I drop it.
I know where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I know I pick my points.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It's the fucking Grease from Frankie Valli.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Like that one, I drop that one and everybody's like,
oh, it's funky too.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So everybody knows it because they've seen Grease.
It's a classic movie.
Oh man, yeah, All day.
Let's go into your creativeprocess.
So when you're setting up a set, when you're trying to get
through, you're choosing yourtracks, you're trying to create
unique mixes.
What is your mentality ormindset or attack and approach
on creating that?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Okay, that's a very good question.
As a matter of fact, I've neverbeen asked that question before
.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
So y'all get in the first year.
Check this out.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Okay, my process is that we're talking about if
we're somewhere and they ask forsomebody to play music.
Apparently the people that showup there, they want to hear
music.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Me personally.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I don't try to undermine the people's musical
knowledge, okay.
So one thing I try to do itgoes kind of like what you're
saying about the movie thing andthings of that nature Like I
try to I read the crowd and Itry to, like you know, I know,
you know looks can be deceiving,but I try to read the crowd and
be like, okay, these peoplelook like you know what I'm
saying, like you know they mightmess with this, you know I got
(18:37):
to find them.
Okay, but once I do find them,I do, I try to, I don't go off,
I try to keep it on the beatenpath, but I try to go.
And you know those B-sides,like say, for instance, if I'm
playing something off of, let'ssay, let's say playing something
off of, like, say, the Chronicor something.
Okay, you know, okay you heardnothing but a G thing.
Okay, but then I might go intoone of the you know what I'm
(18:59):
saying the B sides, you knowwhat I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The lesser known?
Yes, you know what.
I mean If it permits, and I'mlike oh okay, you know what I
mean Bam.
Okay, and that's the thing Toput it in perspective walls have
never heard, at least for, for,for, for a nice chunk I want,
(19:21):
but, but the people?
But I don't want to alienatethe people.
No, but that's your job as a djas well.
Right is to introduce people tonew music as well, so that's
what you're doing, right?

you know I mean and, that's thatI'm.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I want it to be an experience.

You know what I mean.
So when that music came out andwe had tapes, whatever it may
be, and we weren't able to hit atrack instantly, right, you had
to listen through some tracks,or forward or whatever else, and
or just try to listen throughthe whole album.
Now, there may have been twobangers on the album, right two,
(20:39):
two hot tracks, two singlesthat were on that album, and the
rest of the album might havebeen mediocre, it might have
been okay, it might have beendecent, right, right.
But there's that third or fourthsong in there that they
actually had to listen to to getto that one song that's right
and they oh, I remember thatsong coming up to east 1999 bone

They had to rebuild his ass andthen remember the third one
when they had to open up thefucking thing, and he was yeah,
that's when they went ahead andblew him to bits and Luke loved

Luke him.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
He's like one of the only ones that understood
wookies but see, it's aspiritual thing, you know, like
you know, I mean, I'm fromarizona, you know.
So you know, like I said Icould, I could, you know.
Well, then again, like mepersonally, you know, I mean,
like I had, I had a babysitter.
You speak to me nothing inspanish.
I had to go to esl myself, youknow as a kid so, but the point
being is, like I was saying like, yeah, you can talk spanish, I
(23:16):
going to understand everythingyou're talking about.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I know what's going on Like, yeah, like hey.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Like no, he said he wanted his money back.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Same thing growing up in Arvin as a white guy man,
Right, right, yeah, it was allHispanic man and I was like I
can understand you motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I can't talk little bit in there and be like we're
going to get an understanding.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We're going to be like oh okay.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Everything is going to be all right when we leave.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
So I'm going to sway real quick.
We had a little talk the otherday.
We were talking about top five,top 10, top 15 black actors Got
you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Oh man, oh yeah, Okay .
Speaker 1 (23:57):
She had Will Smith in the top five.
I'm a top 15 somewhere.
Will Smith is in the top 15, Iagree.
However, we googled it right,Because it's like man, there's a
ton that we forget about.
She didn't know Tupac acted.
Go ahead and speak on it.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I did know he acted, but you can't put him in the
same place as Will.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Smith.
You can't Wow A poetic justiceabove the rim.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
No, that's a very good argument.
That's a very good argument.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
That's an argument over quality, over quantity.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yes, you know what.
I'm saying that's what theargument is right there, will
Smith cranked out 30 movies, pacdid four or five.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what the argument is.
Right there.
Will Smith cranked out 30movies, pac did four or five.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
And then you know what I mean and then they'll
test.
You know what I'm saying.
Like you know not.
You know what I'm saying.
You're a little younger but Iunderstand, like probably when
you.
You know, at the time I'mpretty sure it was nothing for
an artist to be in a movie.
You know what I'm saying.
At the time, when Tupac was ina movie, it wasn't just him
being a rap artist in a movie,he was acting.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
He really had some.
He went to all them schools andeverything in New York with
Jada and everywhere else.
I mean he was in arts, he wasin performing arts so he knew
acting that was the point.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I think, if anything, I think that was the, that was,
that was the.
That was the point that I think.
If anything, I think that wasthe plan a.
I think I think the acting wasthe plan a.
I think he was like this iswhat I'm gonna go to go do, and
I think the hip-hop thing camearound and he was just like you
know, I don't know this to betrue, but I mean, just see, it
seems like that I've had verymany acting.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Acting might have been safer for the right right
right.
I've had very many.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I've had very.
There's been many, manydiscussions, slash arguments
about, you know tupac, you knowwith a lot of tupac fucking
fanatics and they're.
And I'm like you know, like bro, like he couldn't be, you know,
and please don't, please don't,nobody they're gonna come after
you, man yeah, because we canget deep, but we ain't gonna get
deep.
But the point being is is that,like I'm like, well, look, you
know the man, you know, when hewas a kid, apparently you know
(25:57):
he was going to these schoolsand stuff.
So, like you know, he couldn'thave been thugging the whole
entire time.
I mean, I'm like, but he knowswhat he's talking about.
Like I'm not debating it butlike you know, like don't sit up
here.
You know that's his cast, asthey want.
I'm like no, he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, he was out there doing ballet for a while.
Yeah, y'all better, y'allbetter.
He was doing performing arts.
He was a kid.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
He was a kid once.
Don't act like this man.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Been grown his whole life, Like stop it.
What is that when actors go upon stage and they do an
impromptu act with each other?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
What is?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
that called I forgot what it's called but where the
actors just off the fly say,okay, I'm a dying cancer patient
.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Right, I know what you're talking about and do it
right now.
Right, just right now.
Yeah, I know what you'retalking about, and those were
the schools that he was in.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
So, yeah, he grew up rough.
We know the story about his mom, we know about his father or
lack thereof, Right, and we knew, you know, from Bronx, from New
York to Oakland to you know BayArea and everything else in
that transition.
So you know, I can't doubt thatthe guy actually went through
some tough shit.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, I'm not doubting that, not at all.
You know one thing I have tosay, though, like you know about
, like all the arguments I'vebeen having about like Tupac and
stuff, like boy, like I have tosay, like the fanatics have
died down since the 90s.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Oh, yeah, yeah, because I'm telling you like I
used to boy.
Get into some debates about it.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
It'd be some outlandish stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
And.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I was like man, like calm down, like calm down.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
This dude.

He's still a normal dude.
Yeah, he's still a guy.
He's not a god, but he blew up.
He blew up.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Oh man, I mean, I don't think nobody knew.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Oh yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Me personally, my awareness to the man I remember
when he came out on the digitalunderground song same song and
that was my favorite verse onthere.

when juice came out, when I seenhim in juice, I hated tupac.

But that shows you how good ofan actor he was, cause I was
like fuck that old sneaky assmotherfucker.
