Speaker 2 (02:39):
Ladies luck well in case you don't know what book
he's talking about.
I got a new book out.
It's my first book quietestcampus, the story of three girls
from Jersey entering to themusic industry.
They follow in their dreams andhave no idea how much of a
nightmare that is.
It takes place in the late 90s,early 2000s and it is

(02:59):
exclusively on my website,thegreatestmediacom.
Everything's spelled properly.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yes, and I'll drop you a copy.
Yeah, man, you'll be like wowwhen you read that book.
I'm like what?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
But you know, it's so much that I missed because it's
so much that I didn't get intoin that book there's so much
more, there's so many morelayers that I I didn't, I didn't
touch on and I realized that,you know, in the spirit of
Harlem Pulse there's so much Ididn't touch on.
So in the second version orI've been drinking and in the

(03:37):
next series, the next volume ofthe book, we definitely have to
expand on a lot of the thingsthat that goes on, cause there's
so many layers to it.
You know, you think that youhave talent, you come in, you
perform and you're going to blowup.
Yeah, that's 10% of it, youknow.
Yeah, and I don't think I've Itouched on a lot of the other

(04:00):
things, the sacrifices, all thatother shit.
So there's a lot of the otherthings, the sacrifices, all that
other shit.
So there's a lot of stuff we'regonna get into in the next one
definitely that's what it'scalled the industries.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
It's what 80 music, 10 talent I mean 20 talent, so
yeah so so, definitely so.
Let's jump into the firstquestion what was your childhood
like, growing up in Jersey?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Wow, we weren't rich.
We weren't rich by any means,but me as an adult, I realized
that I was rich in experienceand I'm rich.
I'm so wealthy in culture.
So my dad I'm just meeting alot, lot of his family, like
literally today, and stuff likethat.

(04:47):
My dad was one of themgangsters.
My dad was a Frank Lucas.
My dad was a.
He wasn't a number runner, heowned the number spot and I just
met so many real men just beingsmall around him.
I didn't grow up with my dad,but I spent time with my dad and
him just knowing so many of thegangsters.
And then my mom, her being fromHarlem and me being brought up

(05:11):
with a lot of the gangsters thatshe knew and came in contact
with.
And I'm not glorifying thatlifestyle of selling drugs and
things of that nature, but thatthat era also came with people
who are cut from a differentcloth.
I'm rich in culture because,even though my aunt she didn't

(05:32):
do shit for me, just being ableto be around Sylvia Robinson and
have the access that I did isunthinkable.
It's the first lady and outthere with the Rolls Royce and
stuff the things that somepeople might take for granted,
like me just being around duringthe Sugar Hill era and I was a

(05:53):
baby and then me being aroundlike my cousin Leland threw a
big ass barbecue.
He used to have everybody comeout.
I seen Missy Elliott before shewas Missy Elliott.
I seen Ginuwine when he wascalling him Elgin.
I met.
I have so much history with meand so much culture with me that

(06:15):
I was able to see andexperience from as a child.
I went to the studio to seeBryce when I was younger but he
was rocking with Groove Theoryand they had a group called Pete
and Repeat two twins.
They were cute as hell.
I was able to just be aroundand see so much.
You know what I mean.
So growing up in Jersey, whereI'm, at Englewood, new Jersey,

(06:38):
like Eddie F just followed me onFacebook and I'm like, wow,
that's so crazy.
Because me, as a shorty, Iremember when Heavy D and the
boys came and shut down PalisadeAvenue in Englewood, all Heavy
D had to do was stand there andthey did, I guess with the
Pathfinders or whatever car theyhad, and everybody went crazy.
So me I'm just rich in thosetype of things.

(07:03):
You know, eddie Murphy, livingup the street is Bubble Hill,
you know it's.
It's all of these things thatso many people did not get to
experience.
You know me.
So in my area, in my, in mybubble, you know and and and my
uh melting pot, and in BergenCounty, teaneck, new Jersey,

(07:24):
inglewood, new Jersey, you justyou don't see the color line.
Nowadays, racism exists, butwhere I'm from, we were all the
same, we just had differentmeals at night.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Got you.
Trust me, I understand.
And when you say SylviaRobinson, can you break it down
for the listeners and viewerswho she, who?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Sylvia Robinson is.
My aunt is Sylvia Robinson.
She started off with Mickey andSylvia.
So if you're familiar with themovie Dirty Dancing, this is
where most people know the song.
But baby, when they upstairsdancing, my sweet baby, that's
when my aunt Sylvia was young.
Then my aunt had a breakout hit.
She wrote with Tina and Ike.

(08:07):
She did so much and then herbreakout hit was Pillow Talk.
She had wrote that for Al Green, I believe, or Teddy
Pendergrass I was a shorty, Idon't know.
I believe it was Al Green.
He didn't take it.
Aunt Sylvia did Pillow Talk,her biggest record.
And then after that my aunt andmy uncle, Joe Robinson, founded

(08:28):
Sugar Hill Records and they hadthe Sugar Hill Gang, which is
the first rap record.
You ask me, it's the biggestrap record because them niggas
is 90 years old, still talkingabout hip-hop.
Yeah, that's what I grew up in,man, I'm more than thankful and
so rich for that.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Nice exposure and insight.
That's dope right there.
So who were your earliestmusical influences in hip hop,
outside of all that?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Right, because they didn't influence me.
I didn't want to rap like theSugarhill Gang, right, I would
say I spoke, spoke to him to uhaudio, to you know, um, milk is
chilling his most ill, like.
That's the first record thatmade me want to write.
I was listening to wbls and um,what was it?

Speaker 1 (09:16):
kiss, it took it back wdls no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
You know what it wasn't.
Bls, it was, uh, 98.7, kiss fm.
Yeah, it's fm.
That's when they was fire withthe rap music and was on and he
played that one night.
I was a shorty, shorty, I'mfour or five years old and it
was crazy to me.
And then my mom came homebecause my mom promoted rappers
delight, so a lot of y'all whoeat, and my aunt sylvia had the,

(09:42):
had the.
My aunt sylvia was the plug.
My mom was the one whodelivered.
So my mom went to every radiostation and convinced them to
play this new genre of musicthat's hot in the streets and I
got to get the movie done.
She's not with us, no more.
We talked about it so much andwe worked on it, but my mom is

(10:03):
part of the reason a lot ofy'all eating you know.
So that that is my mom, yeahmom.

rican out here, man yo you knowwhat?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
let me say anyway, all right, yo, I got a question
for you, another one right.
When did you first realize youcould rap competitively?
When did you get what reallygot you?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
I don't know when I recognized it, I just always
felt like I had to prove myself.
So I was always rapping at thebarbecues, you know, I was
always grabbing the microphone.
You know, everywhere I went, Iwas always grabbing the
microphone, you know, everywhereI went, and I just always felt
like I had something to prove.
So I always had to becompetitive.
So I don't know when exactly,it was Like I wasn't a battle

(11:54):
rapper.
I was a rapper who battled, youknow, and I just happened to
fall into that category, not onpurpose, you know what I mean.
So I just always had had to.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm a light-skinned little girl, so I gotta rap
everywhere, you know so thequestion, like I like to know,
is like when did you, what day?
How did you feel when you firstwrote your first 16?
Like what you know?
What influenced you to be likeyou know, one day I'm gonna pin
a quick 16 and from there I'mgonna keep going like what
motivated you?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I don't remember, honestly.
My mother wrote my first rapbecause, like I said, I had
listened to audio too.
I'm listening late night.
You know, my mom home afterpromoting rap music all night,
you know, come home and I hadthis manila folder and I had cat
rat bat.
You know I had all the rhymesthat I want to rap.
And I had cat rat bat.
You know I had all the rhymes,ma, I want to rap.

(12:48):
And you know I said Ma, I wantto rap.
And she wrote me out this rapand I was five.
So I said that rap for at leasta good three years and then I
remember my cousin telling meokay, we're getting tired of
that rap.
My cousin, janoa, said we needto do something else.

(13:09):
So I just remember us writingand we had the Teddy Rupskin
doll, you know, and we had thelittle computer so you could
sample yourself and make youknow.
So we was creative kids.
So I don't remember like myfirst dope rhyme.
I just remember always goingbetter.
I could remember more bad shitthan good.
I remember being at the pooland I'm rapping with all the

(13:33):
older kids I'm talking aboutthese guys that's 16, 17.
I'm 9, 10.
And they like shitting on melike nah, shorty, you got to get
better.
It got boring at the end, allof this stuff.
So I just remember everybody inmy neighborhood trying to
enforce me to get better at it.
I don't, I don't remember whenI wrote like that first rhyme,

(13:54):
like yeah, this is it.
I just yeah, I just know.

that was?

Speaker 2 (14:47):
it.
Five that was it, that was it.
I'm going all the way.
That was it, that's it.
And then the crazy part is thatyou got to be careful what you
pray for, because all I prayedfor was a record deal.
Oh okay.
God, give me a record deal.
Give me a record deal andthat's what I got.
You know, I didn't pray, God,let me be the most successful
person ever, Let me get the most.

recording in school, I wouldtake one cassette tape and the
other one I hit record and I rapover it and I take that back
and put it there and then recordover the next tape so I could
do ad libs and shit like that.
I still got them.
I just bought a Walkman offAmazon, you know.
But I met this guy, bobbyKennedy.
He don't fuck with me to thisday but shout out to Bobby and

(16:04):
Bobby gave me a shot and he hadus recording.

Wow, I think it was any beat that they put on and
that's fire because you couldrap on beat over the phone.
Like think about it.
You put on a beat, right now Irap.
It's going to sound off becauseof the delay.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
The delay?
Yeah, definitely yes.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Well, just thinking about that, technology is
amazing.
But yeah, no, I don't rememberthe beats.
I probably could find the tapesomewhere.
I hopefully still got it.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
That's dope Somebody got it, somebody got it.
So you went up there.
I mean you torched it.
They invited you to come up tothe station and you said LL said
get you a deal.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
No, we was at the radio station and I just started
rapping on air and certainpeople, you know, uh, was
calling in, but I don't know,like I felt the room, I read the
room, like I didn't like thereaction I had, so I rapped
again and then that's when thered line.
He was saying nope, nope, we onour way.

(19:17):
And varick was right across thestreet from where hot 97 was at
that time, me, my parents, allus, we was walking distance,
that's dope.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
So you're like 16 years old, 17.
17.
You're hearing this recordlabel's interesting to you.
What feeling did you get atthat time, like what went
through your mind at that moment.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
So I'm a Foxy Brown fan.
I'm Foxy Brown, so the prizefor winning was supposed to be
Foxy's album.
So you take me over across thestreet.
They telling me they giving mea record deal.
They promising me the world andI'm like y'all still going to
give me Foxy album.
They like what?
So I got a copy of Foxy's.

(20:00):
China mean, I was a huge FoxyBrown fan.
A lot of it happened so fastand so quick.
I mean really you ain't realizethe shit was going on until it
was over.
It was just like you justalways knew that you was going
to be here and establish thisand accomplish this.

(20:22):
So you know what I mean, youjust follow this.
So you know what I mean, youjust follow it.
So it was surreal a lot of thetimes.
Like I'm on Def Jam whenJay-Z's doing Hard Knock.
Life Like this is crazy.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I'm on the Hard Knock Life soundtrack.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is nothing like outside ofbeing an artist and the
disappointments or theaccomplishments you make being a
fan or being somebody whodreams of this.
This is astronomical, you know?
Oh my God, is that Jay-Z?

(20:58):
Oh my God, what is it?
Redman and Metamaker?
You want me to show you knowwhat I mean.
So a lot of it was amazing.
Even today, it blows my mindthat Lady of Rage is the homie
that's dope.
Rage bought the hard copy of mybook.
I pray with Lady of Rage andthat's the homie, but it's like

(21:23):
my nigga.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
you know who you are, yeah I know, I know, because,
because I, because you know yousaid you said 17, so at that
time close within the range, agerange.
So I know that feeling is likethat's all we knew, like in high
school.
Source magazine was a doubleexcel.
So you've seen the posters,you're watching the shows, hard
knock life movies, like.
I'm actually seeing the peoplefrom the movie, like how kanye
said it on that track, but Iended up the keys to the rock

(21:45):
track, the last call song.
He said yo, I'm, I'm in a roomwith, like my fans, idols,
whatsoever.
So I know the feeling goingthrough your body, especially at
a teen, at a young age likethat, going to school.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Even even even to this day, like yeah, like I
could tell you about being ateenage and all that, but to
this day like ill and out ofscratch.
Out of scratch.
Just brought the hardcover inmy book what, what, where the
home is when the home is.

(22:17):
Where the home is what, what youknow what I'm saying and it's
like you know, like I'm a fan.
First, I love hip hop.
So, regardless of where mycareer went or did it like, just
to you know, I think it wasBeanie who said, like you, shoot
for the moon and even if youmiss, you still land amongst

(22:39):
those stars, right?
So there's certain, there'scertain things I wanted to
accomplish in my career thathave not been done.
I mean, let's keep it real, butas a fan, nicki Minaj shouted
me out on her album, nigga, youknow what I'm saying.

(23:01):
So, just as a fan, when it'sall said and done, because I
have a value of money, but Idon't value money as most people
do, let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something realquick.
So I was dead pop for years.
I'm talking about I'm dead popfor years, right?
And I got a check, a nicefucking check, and I tore Neiman

(23:28):
Marcus ass up.
I tore Sax Fifth's ass up.
I'm doing shopping sprees onInstagram Because, mind you,
nigga, I've been broke for 20years.
And I had to watch all my peerssucceed me.
I watched everybody do theirthing.
So when I got a bag, fuck y'allDumbest shit I could have ever

You know how much of your shitI got.
So now I feel stupid because nowI look at investments, I could
have made things that I couldhave did.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
You're basically showing it's the quality of a
quantity, basically in life itlike certain experiences will
humble you, so like we'll humbleyou in a sense like because we

Supposed to be shit, you know, and I respect it too
at the same time, because it becoming from love, like luck you

You don't want to.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Right, right, and it's a double-edged sword,
because this person really feelsthis way about you, but at the
same time, you know why shit iswhere it is.
So if only you could say do youknow what they did?
Or do you know what I'm saying?
So if only you could say do youknow what they did?
Or do you know what I didn'twant to do?

(26:14):
You know what I'm saying?
So that's, that's the ego getsin the way.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Sometimes, though, because you know there's
something called foolish pride,and I suffer from that,
especially as a sagittarius, Igo through it.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
I'm like, oh don't talk about us like that oh,
you're sagittarius, you see I'mdecember 7th oh well, 16th so I
might say you, you better not beone of the november ones oh no,
it's not crazy, it's um see,see, a lot of people would think
that again, that you, you, youhave a talent, you go perform,

(26:50):
you do your best, you put out adope album, superstardom, and
that's what they show you.
But there's so much darknessLike no Vultures, no, it's not
even vultures.
Forget about my story.

(27:11):
Forget about my story, forgetabout what I'll tell you.
Right, because I can sit hereand tell you anything.
Oh, this happened to me.
This happened to me.

her.
Everybody can say what theywant.

(27:33):
I love Foxy Brown, but she was17 years old telling me she had
an ill nana.
You understand what I'm saying?
Don't listen to me.

I had a half a million dollar deal, half a
million dollar deal.
I rapped because it was goingto be a bidding war, because
during that week I had went toBad Boy twice.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Trust me, I know what you mentioned.
So let's get into.
You got your budget, you didyour deal.
There's a bit in war.
Did you ever get those Def Jamjackets?
Did they send you a Def Jamjacket?
I got one downstairs.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
I got it downstairs.
I got it downstairs.
That's so crazy, my girl, whenI was moving from Jersey she
doing mad funny videos wearingit because it's mad big, because
Lady Luck used to be mad big.
But yeah, I had the death jamjacket.
Miff Bleak was bitching aboutMiff Bleak and the one that said
Dame Dashiell, I got one ofthem joints and I had the other

(33:31):
joint too.
I had the Varsity joint.
I don't know what happened tothat, Like I lost a lot of shit,
but yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
So let's take it to Symphony 2000.
When I first heard that track,epmd- it was.
Epmd Redman Method manfeaturing Lady Luck.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
That's weird.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, I remember what went through your mind when
they called you to do that track, like, how was that session?

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Well, you got to understand the setup.
So Eric Sermon, no, redmanheard me on the radio that
morning and Redman called Eric,and then Eric called Kevin and
then or whoever they called, andthen that's how the whole Def
Jam thing happened.
So me getting on EPMD joint wasonly right.

(34:18):
It was on, it was only rightbecause they they the ones who
set it up, you know.
So they put me with them youknow what is going on.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
I see your light.
Yeah, I thought the same thinghappened.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
That was.
I got a lot going on.
So see how I said one name.
You saw that I said a name.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Don't be having nobody knock on my door.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Now you know why I ain't been doing these.
It was like I said Candyman orsome shit.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
So that track happened right.
I want to know, like, how wasthe session?
Who came up with the beat?

Speaker 2 (35:02):
That was a sermon.
They already had it done.
So what happened was Excuse mey'all.
So what happened was the reasonwhy you hear mop right before
me.
It was.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
It was like the tupac record you know about, um yeah,
the got my mind made up yeah,yeah, you know I like, okay it
was.
It was a tupac song got my mindmade up, but it's supposed to
be.
I had um inspector deck onthere but tupac took off.
Um yeah, so you took the ad sothat's what happened with this?

Speaker 2 (35:32):
It was MOP supposed to be on there.
That's why it's like wait aminute.
That's why MOP is before me andthey're like next up.
And then it was me and that wasall.
I guess day makings because ofeverybody who made the phone
calls and things of that nature.
So that's how I landed that andI wrote two verses in car
service on the way there Stop,drop and roll is what they liked

(35:57):
.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
I got to remember that one right there.
That video was crazy.
I was like who shorty therewith the whole Carrie scene?

Speaker 2 (36:05):
That was my idea again, because these guys Dave
Mays, shout out to Dave Maysthey had a scene with me being
the chick from Misery.
I say yo, my nigga, I'm 17.
I'm in high school.
Why would you have me be likethe old lady of Misery, hitting
people?
No, Harry, you know what I'msaying.

(36:26):
I came up with that idea.
That was all me.
They had Misery I was like that.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
It made sense for the age and everything.
It does make sense.
Thank you, they was ridiculouswith misery.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
See, I was lit back then.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
You didn't feel like yo.
I got to go hard in this trackbecause I'm on the track with
legends and these guys are goingto try to burn me on this track
.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
I had to go hard my whole life.
It wasn't even about, it wasn'tno pressure about who it was.
It was the pressure about likeI just gotta be dope, you know
oh man, what was the receptionafter that, like after the track
was done?

Speaker 1 (37:02):
like I don't.
I know people who the fuck isthis?

Speaker 2 (37:06):
yeah, you know the carry shit.
What was this?
What you know.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
And then yeah, definitely I remember that.
And the second time we heardfrom you, I believe, was um,
damn, I'm old.
What was during the flex?
That track you have on flex, uh?

Speaker 2 (37:26):
yeah, I don't know, because I did record too.
I was about to say that youreported.
Coffee Brown.
Yeah, but shout out KG CoffeeBrown.
And then we did the Flex me andJinx the Juvie.
I wasn't supposed to be thattype of rapper, though, bro, and
that's the whack shit about it,because I didn't rap about

(37:51):
killing people selling drugs.
I didn't sell fucking drugs.
I'm from Teaneck, new Jersey,you know.
Like I wasn't shooting people,all of the shit that they made
me rap about and then I becameit.
You understand.
Like they created a characterfor Chanel Because, like you can

(38:13):
read the New Yorker magazine,they telling people that I hit
people upside the head withbaseball bats my brother.
I had only been suspended onetime, and that was for
insubordination.
I'm in an all-white school.
The white bitch didn't likethat.
I ain't move enough quickenough for her.
So they suspended me for two,three days, but, like I was
never a problem, I didn't get introuble until I was in my 20s,

(38:38):
so they created that yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
I didn't have a record until I got a record deal
that kind of situation.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Like Tekashi69.
Like so many of these rappersthat that's not them but the
people like.
And I didn't realize that I wasusing.
I didn't know I was a statistic, I didn't know that I was being
used to poison my community.
So I'm watching.
I'm watching what happens andthen become a part of it.

(39:09):
So okay.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
With that being said, we're gonna delve deep into
that.
How was like your foundation,your management team, your
support, like?

Speaker 2 (39:21):
trash management was trash management was garbage.
Because I had.
I had bobby kenn Kennedy, whofound talent in this young lady
and was working with me but I'm17.
So my aunt and Aunt Sylvia, andall of them convinced my mother
to fire him for whateverfucking reason and they didn't

(39:42):
work with me before.
I'm not supposed to speak illof the dead, but I'm just
telling y'all what the fuckhappened.
What the fuck happened, youknow.
So my aunt told my mom's who'sinfluenced by her rich aunt, and
she must know what she'stalking about because she's the
founder said fire bobby.
And I'm like what the fuck?
They've never worked with mebefore.
Like why are you listening tothem?

(40:04):
But I'm a minor.
So they fired bobby and then mymom's hired james ellis's
Redman's manager.
She met him at the video shootand Ellis was trash, you know.
And then, yeah, it was like abad decision to fuck with him.
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
So what kind of music did you want to do, like themes
and style of music that youwant to put out.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
I just know that I would tell them like, yo, bro,
because of what I'm goingthrough, I had to go through a
lot of my old articles that Ihave not read in 20 years, 25
years, and just to see thatyoung girl talking about she
didn't want to dress like that,she didn't want to rap like that
.
It's fucking in the source.

(40:46):
I'm like I look like a dyke.
I'm like, oh my God, I wassaying that back then.
But like, yeah, it's documentedthat that's not what I wanted
to do, but that's what I didbecause I thought that's what
was required of me, not thoughtwas instructed, that's required
of me.
You know, I got on a hat rightnow because I ain't laying down

(41:07):
the baby hairs, but I ain'tbringing no hats with me to
Hawaii right now because I ain'tlaying down the baby hairs but
I ain't bringing no hats for mein Hawaii, you know.
So, first trip without him.
So it just became a part of me.
It's like it's fucked up whatthey did to that kid.
It's fucked up.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
So you're saying the industry had malicious
intentions with artists?

Speaker 2 (41:29):
I want you to name one artist who survived it.
I want you to name one artistwho survived it.
I want you to name one childwho survived not even music
entertainment in general.
If you want to just keep it towhere we are, you name one child
who survived this shit.
I admire Bow Wow.
Romeo come from a greatfoundation.

(41:50):
Outside of that, go read theYoungstas article right now on
allhiphopcom.
Where the fuck is Lil Malik andJamal what?
Where's another bad creation?
Where's the Candy Rain niggas?
Name somebody who survived thisshit.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
This is why I always like not speculate, but I always
analyze it from both sides.
We got to remember this is anindustry, so people are trying
to find and make money off of it.
Even in a regular nine to five,they're going to make money off
of you.
That's the intention, like,yeah, you bring a business, we
doing business, but they alwaysget the upper hand.
You get what I'm saying.

(42:33):
I think, and I think I know, isthat, as you mentioned, having
that proper foundation to reallyprotect you was very important
and you got to remember somepeople.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
And they ain't have it.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Where we come from, we see those dollars.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
We overlook that and just like yo, how much money I'm
getting, Not knowing thatthey're going to front you a
certain percentage up front,even and just like yo, how much
money I'm getting, not knowingthat they're going to front you
a certain percentage up front.
Even Michael ain't survive it.
Even Michael ain't survive it.
Nobody survive this shit Likein the movie Sinners.
I ain't never met a happymusician.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Rob Markman Jr.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
That's lame, my aunt was a multi-millionaire and I
watched her die heartbroken sheain't give a fuck about none of
that.
One day she was like her maid.
I guess they was having aconversation.
My aunt wasn't really toothrilled about something and the
maid was like, well, look whatall you have, look at all the

(43:25):
stuff you have.
And she said that's all it isStuff.
Like when you start to seeoutside of the materialism.
I believe that luxury waspurposely made.
Luxury is bullshit, just likeracism, just like so many other
things that they made andcreated for us to fight against,
but social construct bullshitbut it's true to a certain

(43:51):
degree what you say, um, whenmike tyson says it, like you
know, now in his older age hesaid all the championship belts
and money don't mean anything tohim.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Because he wasn't happy.
Because you know that a regularperson on a day-to-day within
this no, but you said it's trueto a certain degree.
To a certain degree, it's notLet me tell you why I'm going to
break it down to a certaindegree, why it's not.
You know you can't get rich andsay I'm going to stay within

(44:18):
the same place, right, you willhave to grow with that, because
now that I obtain it, I have toprotect this.
Now you get what I'm saying.
So you got to somehow becomeaggressive, not saying that you
don't want to, but you got tobecome aggressive because you're
going to have vultures andleeches around you.
You get what I'm saying and yougot to, you know, with the fit
within that cipher.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Does that sound happy to you?

Speaker 1 (44:40):
No, it's not happy.
That's what I'm saying.
Let me break it down.
You're not happy but, like Isaid, you become something that
you don't want to be.
But to obtain and to sustainthis stuff, I have to do these
things.
I'm not saying the sexualdeviant behaviors I don't agree
with or stepping on people, butI'm talking about to guard
yourself, because you're abigger target now.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
So to what degree?

Speaker 1 (45:07):
I'm still trying to hear the degrees because you
said to a certain degree.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
To a certain degree, to a certain extent yeah, you
want to.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
You want to, you want to reward yourself, you want to
obtain certain things.
Like I, work hard for this, letme take care of myself, let me
get the big home.
You know, I didn't have thesethings before.
As you said earlier, I didn'thave this.
So let me get the big home.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Let me get a car, maybe a place or two each of
each, each things that you name,take a piece of you, and the
bigger it is, the bigger thepieces you gotta work harder for
it to no certain extent, sirI'm sorry, we can agree to
disagree disagree.
Even when you're right, you'reright.

(45:45):
Hey, we can agree to disagreeyou know I wear the shoes, I've
walked it and I've been a partof it and, like I just told you,
I have an aunt who made itpossible for all of us to have
podcasts and gear and clothesand everything.
My aunt and my uncle are thefirst ones who put out rap music

(46:07):
.
My aunt is an icon.
She didn't.
She didn't start a clothingline, she started a genre of
music.
My aunt is in the rock and rollhall of fame and she was not
happy when she died.
So of course you and I couldsit here and say, well, wow, if
I had that, I would be this way.

(46:27):
I would feel that way, you knowwhat I'm saying, but no,
motherfucker, not when you seehow much of it you have to
sacrifice, when you can't spendtime with your children and
can't raise your children theright way, or you give them
different ideologies based offof where you are with what you
just gave me.
Because, because, becauseeverything that you just told me

(46:51):
, yo you know you gotta get thehouse.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
it don't come without a sacrifice of course it comes
with a sacrifice everythingcomes in life a sacrifice to get
somewhere.
Unfortunately, unfortunately,no, I hear you, but you know I'm
talking about not the crazysack, but I get it.
You know time.
It requires time to nourish andbuild something you can't say
the crazy sacrifice.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
Can't say that even because I know a lot of people
who lost their mind can't saycrazy sacrifices this is so.
This is so dirty and dark.
And like these people ain'tlying to y'all when they tell
you that they was trafficking,or they tell you they was

(47:33):
drugged, or they tell you theywas molested.
They're not lying to you, bro,when they tell you that they see
kids' blood and they worshipingthe devil all this other wild
shit that you'd be like.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Why would they lie?
Did you see any of that?

Speaker 2 (47:53):
you told me what we was gonna talk about in the
beginning.
You know, I'm just right, I'mjust saying I ain't see, I ain't
seen nobody drinking no blood.
But I do know a lot about a lotof blood magic.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
Wow, hold on, hold on , hold on.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
Bumble Cloud.
That's crazy it's a, it's aanyway.
So where are we at?
You got more questions where weat, because you said an hour,
we got seven minutes we gotseven.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
I know we're gonna.
Oh man, it's deep, like we.
The perspective that we did, wedid share about the sacrificing
and seeing things from bothsides.
And you know, unfortunately welive in a capitalistic society
where parents are away fromtheir children and their family

(48:56):
and want to go out there andprovide things.
So, yes, you do fill a void,whether men or women, that
you're constantly on the roadyou're not there.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Keep this shit clean.
A woman going to work Now ofcourse it's sacrifice, because
there's mothers who went outthere and you see this on my
papers.
I've been shipping out tons ofbooks on the-.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
I'm not keeping it clean.
Look, I'm just seeing on bothsides.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
If you're seeing both sides, then you got to be like
Lady Justice, because you justgotta weigh it.
Because, like you're right, themother who's single and gotta
go work all you know mad jobs.
The kids at home, they turninto gangsters, you absolutely
right.
Or the rap or or the femalerapper who doesn't have kids
because she's chasing her careerand wants to set up a nice

(49:43):
future for them.
But you keep chasing and thenyou turn around and you like
time.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Yeah, yeah, it happens in a regular world too,
unfortunately, man, because weI'm glad you said it all right
when you off camera, butunfortunately, the reason why
I'm saying that, look, is thisthat I see sacrifices every day.
I, I know it and I'll be likedamn yo, this person's missing
out so much time.

(50:09):
Like you'd be like yo, I misstime with my child.
I missed a first step.
I'm always on this damn tour x,y and z, and I'm in these
offices.
I I'm amongst deviant men whoexpect me to do such and such.
I don't do it, so they may puta blockade on my career here and
there.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
So I do you know about hiroshima?
Have you ever?

Speaker 1 (50:33):
seen it.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Do you know that?

Speaker 1 (50:36):
I know, I know the history of it.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Yeah you know about.
Like 50 years later, people arestill dealing with the effects
of Hiroshima.

man and EPMD, but like I didn'treally get the cosign, like
Diggah and Kim and Foxy and evenIggy Azalea you know what I
mean, like the guy who'sstanding behind you, like you
know, so um, let's let that go.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
So um, let's let that go.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
It's just, it comes for you, bro, and it's not even
me, because I know so manyartists who have some of them
who accomplish more than me andthey're not doing better than me
.
And I know so many artists whoyou guys have never heard of,
because I do this music shit mywhole life.

(52:12):

It's called Quiet as Cat, butit's true fiction.
It's true fiction.
It's called Quiet as Cat, butit's true fiction.
And the reason why I say it'strue fiction is because the
stories in the book that youread didn't happen, but they did

(53:12):
and I was there.
Characters in this book, theywere real as day.
They just don't exist.
So if you read this book, whenyou read this book, everybody
who's been in the music industryhas seen one of these parties.
Uh, if you're an artist ormusician, you've definitely
experienced something in thisbook, you know.

I changed a lot of situations,changed a lot of names,
timelines and everything toprotect the innocent and not
innocent, but, um, just to giveyou guys insight from somebody
who experienced it, like, yeah,that story is real, it just
didn't happen you know I meanthat's true, I hear that and I

(53:56):

I'm like, oh, come on, man, howyou gonna do that to me.
