was It was mean and vicious. It was mean and
vicious baby for how many days? Many since I've been

a dozen three dozen great things going on to having
you here with us. I go back to the eighties
(01:37):
when deaf Jam God from New York.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
City, deaf Jam. I mean we're talking Yellow Coach, Run DMC,
BC Boys, I mean, just what a roster. Yeah so so.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Run DMC was actually on Profile Records, but the BC
Boys won Death Jam, Public Enemy is On was on
deaf Jam. I was on deaf Jam Slick Rick and
it really just I was the first artist on deaf Jam.
So you know, it started at a Rick Rooms dorm
room and why you dorm room five university plays and
you know, started in the dorm room. A Rod from
the Beastie Boys heard my my demo, played it for Rick.
(02:07):
Rick liked it, and we ended up forming the label
deaf Jam. And I was the flagship artist, and it
was Russell Simmons Rick Rubin and myself.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You had you known that? I mean you zero idea,
but I mean I did you know it worked out? Well? Yeah? Yeah,
they know. How'd you know then it worked that well?
First hit?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Like did you not say to yourself, wait, I think
there's something here now?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
You say that way before you make the music the song.
That's like an after like that's the end, like you say,
I know there's something here. When you become a huge fan,
you know what I'm saying, and you start writing your
music and you start creating, you know, art, and you
know what that that wave of hip hop first hit me,
so you get right on it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
So it's way you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
So everything that you're seeing now today where you're like, oh,
hip hop's so big and so many people are doing
so much, well, in my mind, it was already that big,
you know what I'm saying, Because I started, I was
like first generation fans. So when hip hop first started,
there was a boom around the five you know, the
Five borough especially in the Bronx obviously, but there was
a boom around the Five boroughs. I was getting those
(03:10):
tapes because I was in Long Island, you know what
I'm saying even though I was I was raised in Queens,
I also was.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
In Long Island and the kids the next door to
me were forced to kids.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
So he had tapes coming in from the Bronx, and
so I'm hearing all this stuff early.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So now get the Long Island connections, because I tell
you why. The Long Island Welcome Center rest stop. Yeah
on the Long Island Expressway between exits fifty one and
fifty two. Yeah, look, you have your own cool J
has his own brick in the Walk of Fame.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Absolutely absolutely so. I was born in Bay Show. I
was born in Bay Shore.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I rest up on the l ie. Man.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It's pretty sexy here, Yeah, pretty sexy. Yeah, it's pretty sexy.
Hey baby, take a tra take a ride with me
on the trailer on the s side. Yeah, it's pretty sexy.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Okay, So do you have a you have a start
in the Hollywood Walking five I do. Is it across
from the Hustler Store?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Absolutely? Absolutely absolutely. Now you know you hate it. It's
just it's just over the threshold of the ustling stuff. Yeah, now,
but it's it feels real good man. You know, the energy,
the new album, the new record.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Working on new music after all these years is an
amazing feeling, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
We got to talk about this new album, Yeah, we
got to talk about that. Ye play some of it? Yeah, Yeah,
that'll be great. That's be great. Yes.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Well, No, hearing you talk about being part of deaf Jam,
even I guess before the creation of deaf Jam is
like hearing when people talk about, oh, Apple started in
my garag. This is crazy, And I don't think people
are gonna have that opportunity anymore to do something like that.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
But that's not true. There's always an opportunity to build
something great.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Dreams don't have deadlines, you know what I'm saying, So
there's always gonna be There's always gonna be a new
opportunity to do something great, you know. But my life
is full of a lot of first like you know,
like I coined like the term goat that everybody like
I coined that in two thousand my album was called
Goat and you know, and I didn't now had I
known men?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Now that's a hat.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I known men. I didn't trademark that. That is a
had to know. I gotta give you that one you
know what I mean, We're gonna swap that out for
the death jail idea. And so to see that goat
in the popular culture the way it's going and kind
of spread into other areas and just become like synonymous
with excellence is an amazing thing to see, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
One of so, Froggy is in Jacksonville Froggy. His goat is,
of course Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Had you known him back then, Tom Brady will be
involved with the word goat.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
He should have to pay l every time somebody calls
him the goat. But absolutely ll let me ask you
who is the goat? Is it Jordan, is it Brady?
Or is it you?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I think you can.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I think it's subjective, and I think you can have
goats in many fields, and I think you can have
people that are on top of their game in many
many fields.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I mean, that's the real answer. And in art, we
know it's subjective, you know what I'm saying. We know
that people have to decide who they love. But at
the end of the day, icon the term, you know
what I'm saying, And I just want to I just
want to be clear about that. You know, whether you
think I am or not, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Try to trademark this? Is it even possible anymore?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Up? Good luck? I mean you could probably get something, but.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You know you'll be retired like twenty times over.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
No.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
No, because I do what I love. I don't know
if I want to. If I was doing it for money,
I would have retired a long time ago. You were saying,
I'm doing it because I love it? So what is next? Then?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Because you've done I feel like you've done everything.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
This record, this record is next.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
This the Force Frequency is a real creative energy working
on music, showing people that you could continue to do
things you know, because you love them and because you're
passionate and you can you know, you can hit the
you can have cultural impact without you know, sacrificing your
artistic integrity, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Like, that's the beauty of it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Look at this on the Force. It's not only LLL
Cool Jay. Look at this. Look at this list. I
see Snoop Dogg on there. Yeah, Nos yeah, Buster Rhymes,
Fat Joe, yeah, Eminem Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Are you with em? You're with them? Tomorrow night? Yeah yeah,
we're at the VMA's. We're both performing at the VMA's.
Well he's are you're opening the VMA's.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
That, Uh, why don't we just see what happens?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Wow? No, no, no, no, no, no, you don't hit
me with the Oh yeah, I just said, let's see
what happens.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
She hit me with the yeah type of gas on it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You know what I'm saying. I was up there lying, lying.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I just saw it right to the goat, transparent, transparent,
like yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Hey, what is it about?
Of course from Long Island? But when you come to
New York City? What is it about the energy of
this city that's so different than any other place on Earth.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
For you because you're meeting so many different cultures and
so many different types of people. Like this is a
place where it doesn't matter where you're from. You could
be the mind erect, the Herald closet, the fat this morning,
and you still gotta walk next to you know what
I'm saying, People that are living everyday lives and blue
collar people.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
So you know, New York is full of all kinds.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
But I think the thing about New York is that
you know, like like during the pandemic. I got the
opportunity to travel around the city anonymously. I don't get
to do that a lot. So I had, you know, sorry,
I had a mask on. I had, you know what
I'm saying, my hoodie on. And I'm running around and
I went to like the projects, and I was on
the subway on but different subway cars going all over
(08:06):
the city. I was on different public you know, transportation
and doing things. And you you'll be surprised at how
quickly you forget what's going on in the real world,
and how you can be in a bubble even when
you don't know it because you're jumping in your uber
because you're going to do your lunch, because you just
jumping in your car going to get your coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
So you you like getting that opportunity, you realize how
real the city is and how much fabric, how much
energy is in the actual streets of the city, you
know what I'm saying. So, and that inspired the song
thirty Decembers on the record. So it's like all of
those kinds of things are the things that make it
exciting to being New York man.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I mean, it's New York Baby, there's two sides to
New York City. There's a side where it's bigger than you,
It's bigger than all of us. It's the other side
is the other side of this is if you conquer
it here, how big does that make you?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Like? How important? How important is that? Well? You know,
you know, yeah, it's well Listen.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Making your dream come true as an art form, right
like being able to you know, take a kernel of
a dream and turn it into a reality is not
something that is easy to do. But if you can
do it here, you know, in a lot of ways,
it's even more opportunity because you find different types of people.
So it's in a way you can kind of find
your niche in this city if you believe in it.
(09:20):
You just can't. You just have to be comfortable in
your own skin in terms of what you're looking to do.
You can't be swayed by what other people say you're
supposed to be doing.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I get goosebumps listening to because I always come in
here saying like because I'm from New York, I'm from
the Bronx, And I say it doesn't matter how long
I've been here still walking around the city. I think
this place is insane, and I always think the same thing,
like all different people from all over the place is
what makes this place tick.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And the fact even when they look at you like
you're dirt, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
You look at this dirt standing next to me and
we're disgusting dirt dirt mound.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Now that we are back to being masked free again,
will you ride the subway?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
It's possible. Really yeah, Me and you were gonna, We're
gonna jump on the subway. It's just riding up.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And you were go do the you know what I
just saw your security guys are going.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Now here's a list of things we're not doing on it.
I said, do you have any cash? I know, hundred dollars.
I'll tell you why. See discoverer is straight Nate. Nate
hit a microphone, so he needs money, but he needs
a refund from a concert man.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Refut a refund. Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Back in nineteen nineteen ninety ninety, I took a girl
to his very first concert, ll Cool Jitsburgh.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
It's outside and I had front row because I worked
at a radio station at the time.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'm like, oh my god, I'm gonna got front row. Oh,
Cool Jay's right there.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
And then you hit the stage and the crowd surge
and everybody's like, and then everybody started singing.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I didn't hear a word that you said because.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Everybody behind me was singing and I couldn't hear you,
and your ribs were breaking on the fence breaking.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I couldn't. It's not experience all So you guys, so
you've got some excitement in your life for congratulations? Did
you take it bad?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
It?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Did?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
You? At least let the girl stand in front of you.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
So if she's stetting in front of you against the
fence and you're against her and he's on the stage,
he's doing the pushing for.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
It, you're welcome.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
If anything that was so fun, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Cool J is here.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
We gotta talk about the force the album, all right? So,
I mean, it is your fortieth year in hip hop,
and it was that, of course, that was on your
mind when you went into the studio with with your thoughts,
with your spirit and with all these people with you.
What is this? What is It's the dumbest question in radio.
I'm gonna ask the question, what's this album all about?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
For you?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
So so the album is basically it's it's it's a cookout,
but everybody's invited. It's like the blackest album in the world.
But the thing is you're all invited and you can
all come and experience the force in a way that
you could be a fly on the wall. And I
talk about all the fun though it's not preachy. It's not.
There's all different moods on it. There's aggressive songs, there's
dangerous songs, there's sexy songs, song called proclivities. There's a
(12:21):
lot of different styles of music on it and vibes,
but there's you know, there's everything from murder Graham to
like it's it's really an album that is just about
cultural impact and you you know, like like I give
you an example, like thirty Decembers, I said, I came
up off the street, took some pissy steps up to
the belly of the beasts, which way I go kind
of confusing. The machines are not working. They ain't no
tokens or nothing. This thing that changed over a sudden.
(12:43):
It's like I died and came back different places and
faces on their phones and computers.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
No one is reading the papers, so.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
There's all kinds of just different types of songs that
deal with different layers of of you know, life.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You know what I'm saying. We talk about proclivities that yeah, okay,
well proclivities is you know, we all have it.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
At your job about a quarter past five, tricky in
the alley.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Wait, slap it on your thigh's talking on? What do
you slapping on your thigh? Can you tell me? What
do you think the tickets to my concert with I
saw clap it on up die?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
You know, a little tiny ticket, little tiny tickets to
the concert.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Doesn't any any concert ticket? Slap it on my Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. But I gotta know. I
want to play. You don't want to play. I gotta
do murder? Yeah, Graham, do you do like is?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You know yeah? Yeah, tell up your head. Yeah, I
gotta play that.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I gotta pay. I'm gonna play the whole thing beautiful now,
but not yet, okay, now yet, let's talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Last. Daniel was saying earlier.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I mean, we've seen you act, We've seen you host,
you hosted the iHeart Radio Music Yes Awards or Festival one.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
It was he it was he watch a.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Couple of wars ago, and then you get into the studio.
Where's your first love? My first love is creating music,
you know what I'm saying. My first love is making
hip hop. I mean I do the hosting and all
that because I love to be close to music. I
only took the only reason I took time off it
kind of I might. I kind of heard you say
something earlier. But you can't be a part time artist.
(14:18):
You have to be fully committed.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
So I had made an album a while ago, but
you know, about ten eleven years ago, but it was experimental.
I was doing the show, I was doing NCIS, I
was doing all this other stuff, and it just it
felt phoned in unintentionally, but it felt phoned in to me.
So my first love is hip hop. But you got
to have the time to do things correct, to do
it well, you know what I'm saying, to really be
aggressive and get it done.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
So give me the quote again. Being an artist is
not it.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Oh make it dreams come true as an artful or
be an artist is not a part time jar time.
You can't be a part time artist. You got to
be all the way committed to it. You know what
I'm saying I love that.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Whatever you're doing in life, whatever you're passionate about, give it,
give it your own what up frog?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:58):
So with Ella Ella, with the you know, Shibboozi had
a number one song and jelly Roll bringing kind of
the hip hop influence in the country, and Beyonce has
been involved in country Morgan Wallen and Little Dirk. Have
you thought of ever getting involved into the country world
at all?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, let me tell you so.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
Man.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
You know, I already had a far way into that
and it was like a complete and total disaster like that.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I don't even want to get into it. I can't
even say it on that way. No, I can do it.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Y'll broke, Y'll bro Already I played myself terribly. So
I'm gonna I'm gonna back up. I'm gonna back up
off that. I'm not saying that could never ever I
have no I'm cool with country some of them. I
love it live. It's a great music live. I have
no issues with it. But for right now, I'm gonna
do this hip hop. Yeah, I think I say focused
on the hip hop.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Man.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
It's changed so much though, I mean, country has changed
a lot in the last five years. The the hip
hop influence can be seen throughout country very deeply now,
much more than it was probably when you tried it
back in the day.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Yeah that's that's absolutely true. But one thing that hasn't
changed is the fact that I'm gonna stay with this
hip hop.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
That's who has it. See. But but I feel you though,
you know, I do feel you. I feel you. I
likes Cowboy Hat. Yeah, I like the hat a lot.
You know what I'm saying. He's not backing out of this.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I have so many questions about what happened?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Was that the song?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Was it the promotion? What was it?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It was the song?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
It was the song?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, okay, yeah, it was the song. It was It
was just not you know, it was just not we
just saw the name of the song. Move We're moving on?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Yeah, not so much, not so much.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, was waiting to get out of here.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Okay, So you're you're doing an MTV video music words
to Horrow? What what else are you gonna do while
you're in New York? Not ride the subways? Tell you look,
I do country music.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I still got my house here, so you know, I
love New York and I'm here and I'm doing a
lot of radio doing promotion. I'm you know, I'm running
around telling people about this album. Straight up, that's what
I'm doing. I'm running around New York telling people about
You know what I'm saying. I damn they got picking
signs up. I ain't playing all right, you know what
I'm saying. And man, it's running around New York talking
about this album.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
So okay, talk, Let's talk about us who we've been
listening to. We've been listening to you for years. Thank you.
You know before you got here, I played I Need Love. Yeah. Yeah,
we've been listening to you for years. But you have
new new people turning you on for the very first time.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
And that's the beauty of it, right, Like, that's the
that's the whole idea is like, you know, it's kind
of like sports, right, like Tom and Brady in sports
is you get new fans, you introduce new people.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That That's what I wanted to show.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Was possible because seeing hip hop a lot of times
because the genre is relatively young. See people, hip hop
is fifty years old, now fifty one, right, people think that,
oh that's a long time until you have somebody transition
at fifty one and then you say, you know what,
that's not so old. So the genre is actually not
that old. So it's like, you know, for me, what
we're used to doing this. We used to artists going
(18:02):
and leaving and never making any more impact. Ever again,
we just kind of used that. We've been kind of
it's been ingrained in us that you can't continue on.
But I was just just saying with the Stones at
their concert, you know what I'm saying, watching them and
I'm like, you know, I'm looking at Mick do his thing.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I'm you know, looking at Bruce Springsteen do his thing.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I'm looking at different artists that go all the way
and do their thing, and it's like that can be
done in hip hop as well. You know what I'm saying.
It's just the matter. We're just not accustomed to what happening.
So that's that's my goal. That's why I'm doing this.
And you know what I'm saying, I'm showing people that
you can really do this at a high level, not
just putting you know, mediocre war albums out.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm really, you know
what I'm saying, doing this, you know, so.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
With with all the collapse you have on this album,
especially with all of the you know these legendary artists
as well, right, and you all have different styles, how
do you all work together together in the studio and
see how the cadence is going to go in the rhymes?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
So so, first of all, and I picked everybody all
of the different features on this record is because of
the sound of the music. When going q Tip from
a child Cold Quest who just got inducted to the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So he's an amazing guy.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
When he started working on these things, when I would
hear the Sonics and I'm starting to write the song,
and I'm like, you know what, this would be a
good And every song is not a collaboration, by the way,
but the ones that are, It'd be like, this would
be a good song for Nasoh, this would be a
good song for eminem Oh, this would be a good
song for Swedi or whoever else it is we're playing.
I mean, you know, we're putting on so it's like
I I you know, I would do that. Listen to
(19:31):
the sonics. Then I would hit the artist or he
would hit the artist, depending on who has a relationship
then we would go in the studio like with me
and EM. You know what we did was you know,
Tip made the beat. I'm like, oh, I love this.
I think this would be great for me and M.
So I text M. I send him to beat. He
listens to it.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
He's like, yo, I like it all right.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
So I'm like, yo, let's get together. So we go
out to La. We going to Doctor Dres studio. He
gives us the keys. We run up in there. You
know what I'm saying, we you know, and we recalled
the record. So I go in the book, I go
in the room, I'm writing my rhyme, I record my thing.
I leave out of the room. He goes in, he
writes his part. He comes out of the room, and
we went back and forth like that would see each
other passing in the hallway. Then at the end when
(20:08):
we kind of do a back and forth thing, we
were in the room together doing that last part. And
so in terms of cadences, that's like a guitar player,
that would be like you You're given a guitar player
an opportunity to do a solo, so they choose the
cadence on the record.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
You know what I'm saying, Wow, that's the vibe. Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So the album, The Force is more than an album.
It's in an event. Yeah, I wouldn't like to call
it that, I do. I would too, I would too,
Elvis go all right, I gotta play. I gotta play, Murder, Murder,
Graham do.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Let's do it.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Check it out from the forest And the one thing
I want to say about the song is the key
to this song. This is about us showing lyrical skill
and the art form of rapping. You know what I'm saying.
So it's it's it's really about showing people how we
can put words together, how we can emc and how
we can command the mic. You know what I'm saying
when you listen to it, So check it out. Thank
you for coming in to day.
Speaker 2 (21:01):

Speaker 2 (01:09):

Speaker 5 (01:11):
I definitely went there and had some incredible uh, shrimp parmesan.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Is the only Italian seafood dish. I will allow cheese on?
Yeah yet And that works though, Baby, it works. It
was It was mean and vicious. It was mean and
vicious baby for how many days? Many since I've been
since until now. You know what's so great? There's like
a dozen three dozen great things going on to having
you here with us. I go back to the eighties
(01:37):
when deaf Jam God from New York.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
City, deaf Jam. I mean we're talking Yellow Coach, Run DMC,
BC Boys, I mean, just what a roster. Yeah so so.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Run DMC was actually on Profile Records, but the BC
Boys won Death Jam, Public Enemy is On was on
deaf Jam. I was on deaf Jam Slick Rick and
it really just I was the first artist on deaf Jam.
So you know, it started at a Rick Rooms dorm
room and why you dorm room five university plays and
you know, started in the dorm room. A Rod from
the Beastie Boys heard my my demo, played it for Rick.
(02:07):
Rick liked it, and we ended up forming the label
deaf Jam. And I was the flagship artist, and it
was Russell Simmons Rick Rubin and myself.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You had you known that? I mean you zero idea,
but I mean I did you know it worked out? Well? Yeah? Yeah,
they know. How'd you know then it worked that well?
First hit?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Like did you not say to yourself, wait, I think
there's something here now?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
You say that way before you make the music the song.
That's like an after like that's the end, like you say,
I know there's something here. When you become a huge fan,
you know what I'm saying, and you start writing your
music and you start creating, you know, art, and you
know what that that wave of hip hop first hit me,
so you get right on it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
So it's way you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
So everything that you're seeing now today where you're like, oh,
hip hop's so big and so many people are doing
so much, well, in my mind, it was already that big,
you know what I'm saying, Because I started, I was
like first generation fans. So when hip hop first started,
there was a boom around the five you know, the
Five borough especially in the Bronx obviously, but there was
a boom around the Five boroughs. I was getting those
(03:10):
tapes because I was in Long Island, you know what
I'm saying even though I was I was raised in Queens,
I also was.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
In Long Island and the kids the next door to
me were forced to kids.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
So he had tapes coming in from the Bronx, and
so I'm hearing all this stuff early.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So now get the Long Island connections, because I tell
you why. The Long Island Welcome Center rest stop. Yeah
on the Long Island Expressway between exits fifty one and
fifty two. Yeah, look, you have your own cool J
has his own brick in the Walk of Fame.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Absolutely absolutely so. I was born in Bay Show. I
was born in Bay Shore.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I rest up on the l ie. Man.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It's pretty sexy here, Yeah, pretty sexy. Yeah, it's pretty sexy.
Hey baby, take a tra take a ride with me
on the trailer on the s side. Yeah, it's pretty sexy.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Okay, So do you have a you have a start
in the Hollywood Walking five I do. Is it across
from the Hustler Store?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Absolutely? Absolutely absolutely. Now you know you hate it. It's
just it's just over the threshold of the ustling stuff. Yeah, now,
but it's it feels real good man. You know, the energy,
the new album, the new record.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Working on new music after all these years is an
amazing feeling, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
We got to talk about this new album, Yeah, we
got to talk about that. Ye play some of it? Yeah, Yeah,
that'll be great. That's be great. Yes.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Well, No, hearing you talk about being part of deaf Jam,
even I guess before the creation of deaf Jam is
like hearing when people talk about, oh, Apple started in
my garag. This is crazy, And I don't think people
are gonna have that opportunity anymore to do something like that.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
But that's not true. There's always an opportunity to build
something great.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Dreams don't have deadlines, you know what I'm saying, So
there's always gonna be There's always gonna be a new
opportunity to do something great, you know. But my life
is full of a lot of first like you know,
like I coined like the term goat that everybody like
I coined that in two thousand my album was called
Goat and you know, and I didn't now had I
known men?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Now that's a hat.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I known men. I didn't trademark that. That is a
had to know. I gotta give you that one you
know what I mean, We're gonna swap that out for
the death jail idea. And so to see that goat
in the popular culture the way it's going and kind
of spread into other areas and just become like synonymous
with excellence is an amazing thing to see, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
One of so, Froggy is in Jacksonville Froggy. His goat is,
of course Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Had you known him back then, Tom Brady will be
involved with the word goat.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
He should have to pay l every time somebody calls
him the goat. But absolutely ll let me ask you
who is the goat? Is it Jordan, is it Brady?
Or is it you?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I think you can.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I think it's subjective, and I think you can have
goats in many fields, and I think you can have
people that are on top of their game in many
many fields.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I mean, that's the real answer. And in art, we
know it's subjective, you know what I'm saying. We know
that people have to decide who they love. But at
the end of the day, icon the term, you know
what I'm saying, And I just want to I just
want to be clear about that. You know, whether you
think I am or not, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Try to trademark this? Is it even possible anymore?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Up? Good luck? I mean you could probably get something, but.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You know you'll be retired like twenty times over.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
No.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
No, because I do what I love. I don't know
if I want to. If I was doing it for money,
I would have retired a long time ago. You were saying,
I'm doing it because I love it? So what is next? Then?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Because you've done I feel like you've done everything.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
This record, this record is next.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
This the Force Frequency is a real creative energy working
on music, showing people that you could continue to do
things you know, because you love them and because you're
passionate and you can you know, you can hit the
you can have cultural impact without you know, sacrificing your
artistic integrity, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Like, that's the beauty of it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Look at this on the Force. It's not only LLL
Cool Jay. Look at this. Look at this list. I
see Snoop Dogg on there. Yeah, Nos yeah, Buster Rhymes,
Fat Joe, yeah, Eminem Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Are you with em? You're with them? Tomorrow night? Yeah yeah,
we're at the VMA's. We're both performing at the VMA's.
Well he's are you're opening the VMA's.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
That, Uh, why don't we just see what happens?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Wow? No, no, no, no, no, no, you don't hit
me with the Oh yeah, I just said, let's see
what happens.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
She hit me with the yeah type of gas on it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You know what I'm saying. I was up there lying, lying.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I just saw it right to the goat, transparent, transparent,
like yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Hey, what is it about?
Of course from Long Island? But when you come to
New York City? What is it about the energy of
this city that's so different than any other place on Earth.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
For you because you're meeting so many different cultures and
so many different types of people. Like this is a
place where it doesn't matter where you're from. You could
be the mind erect, the Herald closet, the fat this morning,
and you still gotta walk next to you know what
I'm saying, People that are living everyday lives and blue
collar people.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
So you know, New York is full of all kinds.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
But I think the thing about New York is that
you know, like like during the pandemic. I got the
opportunity to travel around the city anonymously. I don't get
to do that a lot. So I had, you know, sorry,
I had a mask on. I had, you know what
I'm saying, my hoodie on. And I'm running around and
I went to like the projects, and I was on
the subway on but different subway cars going all over
(08:06):
the city. I was on different public you know, transportation
and doing things. And you you'll be surprised at how
quickly you forget what's going on in the real world,
and how you can be in a bubble even when
you don't know it because you're jumping in your uber
because you're going to do your lunch, because you just
jumping in your car going to get your coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
So you you like getting that opportunity, you realize how
real the city is and how much fabric, how much
energy is in the actual streets of the city, you
know what I'm saying. So, and that inspired the song
thirty Decembers on the record. So it's like all of
those kinds of things are the things that make it
exciting to being New York man.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I mean, it's New York Baby, there's two sides to
New York City. There's a side where it's bigger than you,
It's bigger than all of us. It's the other side
is the other side of this is if you conquer
it here, how big does that make you?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Like? How important? How important is that? Well? You know,
you know, yeah, it's well Listen.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Making your dream come true as an art form, right
like being able to you know, take a kernel of
a dream and turn it into a reality is not
something that is easy to do. But if you can
do it here, you know, in a lot of ways,
it's even more opportunity because you find different types of people.
So it's in a way you can kind of find
your niche in this city if you believe in it.
(09:20):
You just can't. You just have to be comfortable in
your own skin in terms of what you're looking to do.
You can't be swayed by what other people say you're
supposed to be doing.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I get goosebumps listening to because I always come in
here saying like because I'm from New York, I'm from
the Bronx, And I say it doesn't matter how long
I've been here still walking around the city. I think
this place is insane, and I always think the same thing,
like all different people from all over the place is
what makes this place tick.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And the fact even when they look at you like
you're dirt, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
You look at this dirt standing next to me and
we're disgusting dirt dirt mound.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Now that we are back to being masked free again,
will you ride the subway?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
It's possible. Really yeah, Me and you were gonna, We're
gonna jump on the subway. It's just riding up.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And you were go do the you know what I
just saw your security guys are going.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Now here's a list of things we're not doing on it.
I said, do you have any cash? I know, hundred dollars.
I'll tell you why. See discoverer is straight Nate. Nate
hit a microphone, so he needs money, but he needs
a refund from a concert man.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Refut a refund. Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Back in nineteen nineteen ninety ninety, I took a girl
to his very first concert, ll Cool Jitsburgh.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
It's outside and I had front row because I worked
at a radio station at the time.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'm like, oh my god, I'm gonna got front row. Oh,
Cool Jay's right there.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
And then you hit the stage and the crowd surge
and everybody's like, and then everybody started singing.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I didn't hear a word that you said because.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Everybody behind me was singing and I couldn't hear you,
and your ribs were breaking on the fence breaking.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I couldn't. It's not experience all So you guys, so
you've got some excitement in your life for congratulations? Did
you take it bad?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
It?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Did?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
You? At least let the girl stand in front of you.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
So if she's stetting in front of you against the
fence and you're against her and he's on the stage,
he's doing the pushing for.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
It, you're welcome.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
If anything that was so fun, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Cool J is here.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
We gotta talk about the force the album, all right? So,
I mean, it is your fortieth year in hip hop,
and it was that, of course, that was on your
mind when you went into the studio with with your thoughts,
with your spirit and with all these people with you.
What is this? What is It's the dumbest question in radio.
I'm gonna ask the question, what's this album all about?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
For you?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
So so the album is basically it's it's it's a cookout,
but everybody's invited. It's like the blackest album in the world.
But the thing is you're all invited and you can
all come and experience the force in a way that
you could be a fly on the wall. And I
talk about all the fun though it's not preachy. It's not.
There's all different moods on it. There's aggressive songs, there's
dangerous songs, there's sexy songs, song called proclivities. There's a
(12:21):
lot of different styles of music on it and vibes,
but there's you know, there's everything from murder Graham to
like it's it's really an album that is just about
cultural impact and you you know, like like I give
you an example, like thirty Decembers, I said, I came
up off the street, took some pissy steps up to
the belly of the beasts, which way I go kind
of confusing. The machines are not working. They ain't no
tokens or nothing. This thing that changed over a sudden.
(12:43):
It's like I died and came back different places and
faces on their phones and computers.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
No one is reading the papers, so.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
There's all kinds of just different types of songs that
deal with different layers of of you know, life.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You know what I'm saying. We talk about proclivities that yeah, okay,
well proclivities is you know, we all have it.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
At your job about a quarter past five, tricky in
the alley.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Wait, slap it on your thigh's talking on? What do
you slapping on your thigh? Can you tell me? What
do you think the tickets to my concert with I
saw clap it on up die?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
You know, a little tiny ticket, little tiny tickets to
the concert.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Doesn't any any concert ticket? Slap it on my Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. But I gotta know. I
want to play. You don't want to play. I gotta
do murder? Yeah, Graham, do you do like is?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You know yeah? Yeah, tell up your head. Yeah, I
gotta play that.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I gotta pay. I'm gonna play the whole thing beautiful now,
but not yet, okay, now yet, let's talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Last. Daniel was saying earlier.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I mean, we've seen you act, We've seen you host,
you hosted the iHeart Radio Music Yes Awards or Festival one.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
It was he it was he watch a.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Couple of wars ago, and then you get into the studio.
Where's your first love? My first love is creating music,
you know what I'm saying. My first love is making
hip hop. I mean I do the hosting and all
that because I love to be close to music. I
only took the only reason I took time off it
kind of I might. I kind of heard you say
something earlier. But you can't be a part time artist.
(14:18):
You have to be fully committed.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
So I had made an album a while ago, but
you know, about ten eleven years ago, but it was experimental.
I was doing the show, I was doing NCIS, I
was doing all this other stuff, and it just it
felt phoned in unintentionally, but it felt phoned in to me.
So my first love is hip hop. But you got
to have the time to do things correct, to do
it well, you know what I'm saying, to really be
aggressive and get it done.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
So give me the quote again. Being an artist is
not it.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Oh make it dreams come true as an artful or
be an artist is not a part time jar time.
You can't be a part time artist. You got to
be all the way committed to it. You know what
I'm saying I love that.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Whatever you're doing in life, whatever you're passionate about, give it,
give it your own what up frog?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:58):
So with Ella Ella, with the you know, Shibboozi had
a number one song and jelly Roll bringing kind of
the hip hop influence in the country, and Beyonce has
been involved in country Morgan Wallen and Little Dirk. Have
you thought of ever getting involved into the country world
at all?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, let me tell you so.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
Man.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
You know, I already had a far way into that
and it was like a complete and total disaster like that.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I don't even want to get into it. I can't
even say it on that way. No, I can do it.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Y'll broke, Y'll bro Already I played myself terribly. So
I'm gonna I'm gonna back up. I'm gonna back up
off that. I'm not saying that could never ever I
have no I'm cool with country some of them. I
love it live. It's a great music live. I have
no issues with it. But for right now, I'm gonna
do this hip hop. Yeah, I think I say focused
on the hip hop.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Man.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
It's changed so much though, I mean, country has changed
a lot in the last five years. The the hip
hop influence can be seen throughout country very deeply now,
much more than it was probably when you tried it
back in the day.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Yeah that's that's absolutely true. But one thing that hasn't
changed is the fact that I'm gonna stay with this
hip hop.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
That's who has it. See. But but I feel you though,
you know, I do feel you. I feel you. I
likes Cowboy Hat. Yeah, I like the hat a lot.
You know what I'm saying. He's not backing out of this.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I have so many questions about what happened?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Was that the song?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Was it the promotion? What was it?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It was the song?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
It was the song?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, okay, yeah, it was the song. It was It
was just not you know, it was just not we
just saw the name of the song. Move We're moving on?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Yeah, not so much, not so much.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, was waiting to get out of here.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Okay, So you're you're doing an MTV video music words
to Horrow? What what else are you gonna do while
you're in New York? Not ride the subways? Tell you look,
I do country music.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I still got my house here, so you know, I
love New York and I'm here and I'm doing a
lot of radio doing promotion. I'm you know, I'm running
around telling people about this album. Straight up, that's what
I'm doing. I'm running around New York telling people about
You know what I'm saying. I damn they got picking
signs up. I ain't playing all right, you know what
I'm saying. And man, it's running around New York talking
about this album.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
So okay, talk, Let's talk about us who we've been
listening to. We've been listening to you for years. Thank you.
You know before you got here, I played I Need Love. Yeah. Yeah,
we've been listening to you for years. But you have
new new people turning you on for the very first time.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
And that's the beauty of it, right, Like, that's the
that's the whole idea is like, you know, it's kind
of like sports, right, like Tom and Brady in sports
is you get new fans, you introduce new people.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That That's what I wanted to show.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Was possible because seeing hip hop a lot of times
because the genre is relatively young. See people, hip hop
is fifty years old, now fifty one, right, people think that,
oh that's a long time until you have somebody transition
at fifty one and then you say, you know what,
that's not so old. So the genre is actually not
that old. So it's like, you know, for me, what
we're used to doing this. We used to artists going
(18:02):
and leaving and never making any more impact. Ever again,
we just kind of used that. We've been kind of
it's been ingrained in us that you can't continue on.
But I was just just saying with the Stones at
their concert, you know what I'm saying, watching them and
I'm like, you know, I'm looking at Mick do his thing.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I'm you know, looking at Bruce Springsteen do his thing.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I'm looking at different artists that go all the way
and do their thing, and it's like that can be
done in hip hop as well. You know what I'm saying.
It's just the matter. We're just not accustomed to what happening.
So that's that's my goal. That's why I'm doing this.
And you know what I'm saying, I'm showing people that
you can really do this at a high level, not
just putting you know, mediocre war albums out.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm really, you know
what I'm saying, doing this, you know, so.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
With with all the collapse you have on this album,
especially with all of the you know these legendary artists
as well, right, and you all have different styles, how
do you all work together together in the studio and
see how the cadence is going to go in the rhymes?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
So so, first of all, and I picked everybody all
of the different features on this record is because of
the sound of the music. When going q Tip from
a child Cold Quest who just got inducted to the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So he's an amazing guy.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
When he started working on these things, when I would
hear the Sonics and I'm starting to write the song,
and I'm like, you know what, this would be a
good And every song is not a collaboration, by the way,
but the ones that are, It'd be like, this would
be a good song for Nasoh, this would be a
good song for eminem Oh, this would be a good
song for Swedi or whoever else it is we're playing.
I mean, you know, we're putting on so it's like
I I you know, I would do that. Listen to
(19:31):
the sonics. Then I would hit the artist or he
would hit the artist, depending on who has a relationship
then we would go in the studio like with me
and EM. You know what we did was you know,
Tip made the beat. I'm like, oh, I love this.
I think this would be great for me and M.
So I text M. I send him to beat. He
listens to it.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
He's like, yo, I like it all right.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
So I'm like, yo, let's get together. So we go
out to La. We going to Doctor Dres studio. He
gives us the keys. We run up in there. You
know what I'm saying, we you know, and we recalled
the record. So I go in the book, I go
in the room, I'm writing my rhyme, I record my thing.
I leave out of the room. He goes in, he
writes his part. He comes out of the room, and
we went back and forth like that would see each
other passing in the hallway. Then at the end when
(20:08):
we kind of do a back and forth thing, we
were in the room together doing that last part. And
so in terms of cadences, that's like a guitar player,
that would be like you You're given a guitar player
an opportunity to do a solo, so they choose the
cadence on the record.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
You know what I'm saying, Wow, that's the vibe. Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So the album, The Force is more than an album.
It's in an event. Yeah, I wouldn't like to call
it that, I do. I would too, I would too,
Elvis go all right, I gotta play. I gotta play, Murder, Murder,
Graham do.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Let's do it.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Check it out from the forest And the one thing
I want to say about the song is the key
to this song. This is about us showing lyrical skill
and the art form of rapping. You know what I'm saying.
So it's it's it's really about showing people how we
can put words together, how we can emc and how
we can command the mic. You know what I'm saying
when you listen to it, So check it out. Thank
you for coming in to day.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Happy to be here. But The Force is the event.
It's the album and of course LL cool J. Everyone
