Speaker 1 (00:00):
A real key for real Celebrity Real joined the breakfasting
DJ Envy, Angela Yi, Charlomagne the Guy. We are the
Breakfast Club Special guests to the room, mister nell A, Hey,
what's adding it up? So good? How y'all still getting
a lot of money out here? We see oh Man
surviving survivor I arrest looking for him. I'm gonna saying
(00:27):
he can have his I don't flavor around him. You
ain't got no choice. Und Sam coming to you with
the guns out. Get down on the floor. I'm taking
it with you, That's what I'm saying. Like you might,
We'll give it to him then and I'll sense an
arguing with him. Now, you got a new album coming
out this week? Yeah, Well, a new new song, new
single single, new single, The Fix. Explain the Fix Well
The Fix are produced by my Man Mustard Um featuring
(00:48):
Jeremiah Um. You know Marvin Gay sample, but it's cleared
to make sure this time around you think all that's
some shit. Um, I don't think it is. Uh, I don't.
I mean, I don't know. You know, I share the
same publisher um as as Mustard and things like that.
(01:10):
So when I got the track, from him, um Roan
Royan Perry, who's our published? He told me it was
already clear. So I said, before I do anything to
this record, you know, let me know that it's all
cool and it's all straight. You need to talk to them.
A year later, we're suing yeah, because they for Empire.
(01:30):
Now yeah, they called for everybody. Man. They're suing homosexual too.
They don't want them to use the word game no
more noo my goodness. So what do you like? What
do you like more doing now? You like being in
front of the camera? You still like making music more?
Because I mean you was in the industry when the
industry was good, like like really good? Like is it's
(01:52):
still fun? Um? I think making music is still fun.
I mean, obviously the business is bullsh half the time,
but I mean, you know, doing music, it ain't. I
think I will always do it, regardless whether I was
making money on it or not. But will it be
put out? That's something different. But I think the release
is good, you know what I'm saying. To get in
and create, I think that's always good. You're no, no,
(02:15):
no no, no, I fulfilled all that, you know what
I mean? Universal for ever because it was else. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying forever. So you know it's all great,
you know, family, No hard feelers, no nothing fulfilled the obligation. UM.
We talked about doing that, but I wanted to take
time back because the way the game is, it didn't
(02:36):
you know. I want to do what makes sense for me. Yeah,
I feel like this makes more sense for me. I
mean that the situation that you're in with social media,
you got your own marketing, you got your own you know,
situation as far as being able to, um, you know,
let people know what you got going on. And I
got great outlets as far as television and things like that.
So you know, I'm gonna cut down on some overhead,
and it don't make sense. I was gonna say, you're
(02:57):
gonna miss some of that that label, spending a lot
of that money that you had to come out to
pocket for. Yeah, but for what getting charged for. I
was getting overcharged. I didn't do it to the Cold Crush,
but they was hitting me right. You know what I'm saying.
Now doing your show, Nellieville, I'm sure you had to
be very cautious about what you put out there. We
had manner up here the other day, and he was saying,
sometimes it's hard to see those artists that you look
(03:17):
up to and really admired on television because you're like, wow,
that's what they're like, you know, in real life, and
they want to create this type of mystique, you know.
For you, m said, they look corny on TV. Sometimes,
that's what he said, He said, you look. You were
just saying sometimes in general, you know, you do a show,
because he was going to do a show right um,
and he was saying, it's just difficult because sometimes you
(03:37):
see your favorite artists and you liked, that's what they
act like. So for you, how cautious were you about
what you wanted to put out there? Well? I think
for me, the whole basis of our show was to
show this side. But it didn't It didn't matter if
you knew this side of me. It's not a change,
you know what I'm saying, Like I'm raising my kids
and you know, and and letting you into letting you
know that Nellie, just don't party every damn night, and
(03:59):
this is what goals on. And I'm trying to, you know,
bring decent human beings into society, you know what I mean.
So that didn't matter. Now if it was you know,
a different type of scenario. Let's say, you know, all
of love and hip hop or something to that nature,
then that's that's something different. Not that I'm knocking it,
because it's been great outlets for certain people, you know
(04:19):
what I mean. But for me, I just wanted to
show something that wasn't out there. Single father and hip hop,
you know, doing what he's supposed to be doing. You know,
we get so much negativity and like we're not there.
You know what I'm saying. That half of the brothers
I know there's in the hip hop or you know,
they love being a father, you know what I'm saying,
to take pride in it. So I thought that should
be shown. That's what I like about it, because you're
(04:40):
not you're showing that it's cool to be grown raiding
my kids and rating my nephew. And because we got
that type of scenario. No again, like we always talking about,
we'd only generation where we share so much with our kids,
you know what I'm saying, Like I never did this
much with my father, not that well because partially he
wasn't there. But what I'm saying, but the other reason,
(05:01):
we just didn't do that, you know what I'm saying.
Like me and my son, you know, we rocked the
same clothes, same shoes, listen to the same music, watch
the same shows. Like you know, we have the same
interest and that I don't think that happened in any
other generations, Like it's happening with our Yeah, well yeah,
I like you know those consequences if you up, you know,
(05:23):
he can get a shot at it. I was having
this conversation with somebody only that's a good thing or
a bad thing that we so I got similar, Like
the generations aren't too far apart, you know. I think
I think it's a good thing because you cut through
all the bullsh you know what I'm saying. You get
to the reality of what life is and you move
on and it's not a it's not a it's not
so much hypocritical, you know what I mean. Like we
(05:45):
went through a lot of our parents. You know, once
you got older, he was like, man, y'all used to
you know what I'm saying, And now it's just like, hey, hey,
don't you know, Jill Big you're gonna get up. I'm
telling you, you know what I'm saying, Like that's not
the move, you know, other than just get wow. But
pile still works, you know, so good Now, I sell,
(06:06):
you've been supporting a lot of artists from Saint Louis
as well. I sell. You were out there filming videos,
you were working with Tiffany Foxes from Saint Louis. Yeah,
Tiffany's from Saint Louis, from New York somewhere. Oh no,
well you know her, she got a great relationship with
Loui Kim, right, That's why I thought that because of
her relationship. A little kid had a great relationship with Kim.
But yeah, she's definitely, Uh, I tell your funny stuff.
(06:28):
You go look at the Country Grammar video. Tiffany's in it. Yeah.
From from the very very beginning, y'all known each other
for a minute. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, she's been trying to
you know, working out thing for a minute. And it's
good for her to finally get us stuff going. And
you know what I'm saying, getting that chance to rock.
So she's dope. And then I tell you commenting on
BT and Cut because they psyched us all out and
(06:49):
told us BT and Cut was coming back, and you're like, man,
what is this? But I'm sure you knew all alone.
They wasn't bringing it back being your relationship with BT
that they were punking us. Yeah, did you watch no?
Because I figured that World store every day, I'm like,
what could bet Uncut show? I won't working this day
and age? I don't think. I thought it was a
good prank though, to bring punk back. I thought it
(07:11):
was a good story for plump. Do you know what?
And if you look at Uncut now, it's it's harmless.
Now when you look at you know what I'm saying,
if you go back on World Start now you look
at that on that that's straight porn girl getting paid
on you know what, I'm heart attack. It's like one
credit card and heart attack. But it's interesting because when
we had Uncle Luke up here, he was talking about
(07:31):
you know himself back then and how they wouldn't even
let his record be in stores. People were getting arrested
just for selling him because they had a throng on
on the cover or just the content. They said. The
content changes, times change. Sometimes you got to be the
person that it's out there on the cross. Yes, I
(07:52):
still have my percentages, you know what I'm saying. You know,
you move on and get other things going on. So
I'm definitely working on new apparel and everything like that.
So you know, again, man, you know, life has been
good for me. I can't complain. You're talking about sixteen
years later. You know, if you could be sixteen years
and anything, you know, that's that's what you want to do. Man,
A piece of the hornets. Yeah, man, we still have that.
(08:13):
I thought you're gonna come to the game whatever. I'm
gonna come as soon as I get some time. And
sad they say you're doing a country album. No no, no, no, no.
I think that got you know, so I don't know
where that get. Screw that, but you know, don't get
it twisted. You know, I'm a very, very very much
(08:35):
a fan of all music, country music, no doubt. And
you know, I'm like the only hip hop artist to
be able to get number one hits on pop, country,
hip hop, on be rhythmic and all of them. You know,
damn they're everything across the board. So people have appreciated
things that I do. I would never say I'm doing
a country I'm gonna have a fine respect for country music.
But what I do want to do is do maybe
(08:56):
EP or album that transcends all formats that say to
be played on, all formats that go across the board,
and including country, including you know, including hip hop, including everything.
So um, you know, it may feature some country artists
some things that nature, but it's not a country album
no way. Shape Before somebody asked you if you should
do one, and I said, why not? That said hip
hop fans are so fickle. Well, you know what I mean,
(09:17):
why why not do it? Because I think I think
I think then the country fans get kind of twisted.
You see what I'm saying. I think when you try
to force feed, force feed audience that that is true
to the heart. I mean sometimes I don't always go
the way that you want to do it. That's like
Golf Brooks jumping off, I'm about to do a rap
album because he because he has successful. I had success,
(09:37):
we had success. Now he think he's going to do
and being some you know what I'm saying, And you like, okay,
So they wouldn't brace you. It'd be calling you a perpetrator,
like are you friend? You don't? Yeah? Yeah. I think
when you're trying to come for him like that. But
I think if you let them gravitate to the music
and you let the music speak for themselves and everybody
voice counts absolutely. Now we were up here, we saw
the stories of you getting arrested and then the charges
(09:59):
getting Yeah, you know, for you having meth on the
bus or something like that. How do you go home
and explain that to the kids, though, like you know,
it wasn't on the bus. Let me tell you something, man,
let me tell you something, everybody, there's no way shaping hell.
I have meth on my bus first, first and foremost.
Then today I'm like na, man, Um, we had a party,
(10:30):
it was after a show, and you know, the responsibility
on my factor that I step up is like I
tried to tell my kids, I left up because I'm
responsible for that bus. That's my bus. That bus is
in my name. Therefore, if anything happens, guess who they
the name falls, you know what I mean. So in
that situation, um, it's my bus. You know what I'm saying.
(10:53):
But once we went and everybody everything was out, then
there was no way that they could do that. I
get my guns back everything. You know, I don't have
illegal guns. You always riding around the legal gun. No,
I have a gun permit. I have a license that
say I can carry and conceal in thirty three states.
You see what I'm saying. I'm not running around here
like a felony with drugs and guns. You know what
I'm saying. My guns are strictly for defense, you know,
(11:15):
going down down, you know. So, I mean, you know,
it was a situation that, um, you know, I wish
I had to putting myself in, but I did. And again,
it's not about the mistakes that you make. It's about
how you own up to him. And that's what I
try to show my kids, Like, Yo, we were not perfect,
but we can be perfect in our approach and taking responsibility.
So did you scream on your team like mother because
(11:37):
y'all cannot have meth on the damn bus? I screamed
on them. They're like, Yo, ain't none of you gonna
raise your hand? No, nobody's planing that. No. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying. That's let's see, that's that's that's
(11:58):
really why I'm pissed. That's really why I got here.
It's just because see this, you know. But you know,
t man, we were having them fun man blast. The
show was crazy, you know, what I'm saying. You know,
at this one time, everybody like twenty thousand people out
of here. You know, police is right outside. I didn't
(12:20):
know them, They wouldn't know their job. Do you ever
feel the need to prove the people that you still
are doing your thing out there? Are you still selling
our shows? You're still making money? No? No, not well,
not to those that that don't want me to be
doing that. You know, you can't prove anything to people
that don't want to see the obvious. You know what
(12:40):
I'm saying, Like it's obvious. It's in your face. With
social media or whatever artists is doing, it's in your face.
You don't there's no way you can't not know. If
you don't want to know, if you don't want to
see something, you don't have to see it. But there's
no way you can't see it. I just think, you know,
it just is what it is. My fans, they see it,
they support it, and the other mutherthers, I mean, you
(13:01):
know they're gonna be there anyway, and nothing I canna
do about it because I don't feel like it's people
showing people how to have longevity. Now, I don't. I
don't think this generation is built for longevity. Nope, they're
not built for it as a fan. They're not built
for it as an artist. You know what I'm saying,
Everything is the now, it's to burn out. You know
what I'm saying. It's to go hard now, go hard now.
And then it's the same way. Um. On the other end,
(13:22):
as a fan, go hard, go hard. You know what
I'm saying, turn out. Eventually you had to turn down,
you know, so that turned down them all. How is
it for your kids now being celebrities, being on TV,
everybody knowing who they are, and yeah, that's different for them.
That's different for them. That's the that's the scary part
of any parent, you know what I'm saying, because that's
(13:43):
the I can't control how people approach them. Um, how
they approached the situation and things like that. But they
good kids. Man, they make me look good. Don't get
it twisted. I'm not without a support group, you know
what I'm saying. My kids and mother, they've She's very
much in their lives. It's it's a team f But
you know what I'm saying, she's married, so you know,
me and her husband are great friends. My god, you
(14:09):
know something happens, I'm called hey, hey, hey, what she do?
Don't leave us? You Floyd may Weather never worked at
your differences or you just never have a problem with Floyd.
I never have had a problem. You started the whole
No can't read anything? No, no, no, I'm gonna tell
(14:30):
you why Nellie was on first tape. Nellie alluded to
the fact you only had a thick, great education, and
I was like, what are you talking about? And then
fifty was like he can't read. I'm like, whoa, what's
going on there? And then you play the tapes? Yes
I did, and he apologized for that. I didn't apologize
to him, alogize didn't feel bad, you know what I'm saying.
(14:51):
Not not that I felt bad because it's may Weather.
He's a villain. Can I feel bad for the bad guy? Bad?
Like that? Was feel low? But I never have a problem.
I never have a problem with him, you know what
I mean? Like he he has problems. Problems, Yeah, in
genera you know what I mean. But um man, you know,
(15:12):
I think he's a I think he's a great boxer.
You should watch his fights. Um yeah, I mean, how
can you he's only got boxing? What else who else
you gonna watch? You know what I mean? Good boxes
out there? Yeah, I won't see triple do so all
right now you also have shan't tell up here with
you now if you guys, I'm not saying you are,
(15:32):
But if y'all got married, would you do that on TV? Uh? No,
I don't think that's Look as I look old, pission
change her last name, BT, came with an Emma better
and and they paid for the wedding. Come on, I
(16:01):
got to think about it. I'm trying to say, no,
need this money back, you know what I mean? Now,
I don't think so well? You know what again again? No, no,
no, no no, no, no god. This is just that I
think as a man, you know, because being married is
something more. It's it's it's a female thing, you know
what I'm saying. As a kid, we don't. We never
think about if you want to be a superhero or
(16:24):
trash man or a police officer when you like, you know, man,
what I'm saying. You know, when you're trash man hanging
off the truck, that looked like a great job. You
know what I'm saying. You know, I thought it was
a good job. Like look at him. Man, you get
the hang on the back of a truck and he
(16:47):
gets paid. You know what I'm saying. Like, but you know,
little girls, you know they dream about their wedding since
they you know, since they little. But you know, we
don't give it. I think we do it because of him. No, No,
but I think that's her. I think we do it
for her. It's saying, Yo, this is your day. Come on, guy.
We don't get no song. No, nobody stands up when
(17:08):
we come out. No, we get point where to go.
We don't even pick the colors. Our homeboys were damn right.
They picked the outfits for our cats. Finally, Yo, Yo,
you weren't green future. I'm sure you can be as
involved as you want to be. Yeah, to show up,
Yeah that's it, and wait an hour after you already
get dressed for her to get ready. I'm not gonna lie.
(17:30):
Charlemagne didn't take his wedding as seriously as I thought.
He invited me and Envy the week before and it
was like a party. Yeah, I couldn't even go. It
wasn't even here. Can't give us. He handed me a
little flying flying for your walking God. And then I happened.
(17:54):
I happened to see his wife in the airport before
while she was going to the wedding. I was going
to the behindmas. I already had a triplane and she
was like, you're not coming to the wedding. I said,
Charlemagne just invited me last week. I already had this.
She said, I knew it. Man, he wasn't. Hey, man,
don't try to get me involved. A week before he
was hoping it would get castled. He's like, I don't
(18:17):
know if Rainy Sea. Do you like being a part
of on other horness? Man? You do? Do you kick
it with MJ? Yeah? Man? But you know what what
I'm gonna tell them about basketball? I mean serious? You know,
even if I got a good idea, keep it to myself.
At least we're designing uniforms or something. Yeah, well, yeah,
we do do that, you know what I'm saying. I
(18:38):
helped UM do some things for like um, what we
call the honey the honey bees and things like that
for the cheerleaders in the dance squads and stuff like that,
especially when we're doing through apple bottoms and stuff. But
as far as the uniforms, not yet. Um. You know,
Mike is an interesting guy. He's a very very interesting guy.
You know. It's like it's like a certain people, how
(19:00):
do you talk to them? And like and a lot
of mikes Michael Jackson, how would you talk to him?
How would you Michael Jordan? How do you talk to him?
You know what I'm saying, Like, I mean, other than cool,
like that's my uncle. But as far as telling him
about something that he was the epitome of, it's kind
of like, how do you do it? I could never
talk to Elle Elle about hip hop? Like you know
(19:22):
what I'm saying about, yo, you know, I could tell
him what works for me, but I don't know. But
I mean, it's a new era. Or you could talk
to you. I can't. I can't tell exactly because it's like, yo,
you know, without him, I wouldn't be Yeah, it was.
It was a small comparison quick too, it's like no, no,
(19:44):
don't do that, don't do that. I did have that
pleasure of doing that tribute bh one the hip hop
like that was one of the highlights so much. And
I'm gonna tell you something though he was he was
filed on that too, which was fouled. Uncle was fouled.
Ell was filed like you know we was doing and
I'm backstage right and I'm about ready to go on.
I never get nervous, never nervous. I got my troop
outfit on. I just I just bought the duke, he
(20:06):
wrote from kwamein. He coming back my duke, he wrote,
wasn't big enough. Quamin comes walking through. I said, Yo,
real quick, I've got fifteen minutes. I bring it right back.
He gives it to me. I'm about ready to go out.
L comes in, YO, make me look good. Baby. What
I'm saying, I'm like, oh, you know what I'm saying, like, oh,
(20:29):
that was wrong, that was wrong. Head trying to zone out.
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm trying to zone.
I'm trying to get right. I'm trying to hit my points.
And here he comes with that. I was like, that
was real file man. But he's a Yo. He's unbelievable.
He's always been very very supportive and what I've done
and what I've been able to do with my career.
And yeah, he's he's been dope. Did you buy the truth? No? No, no, no,
(20:52):
I licensed it. I licensed it um but then the
person who I licensed it from he was nuts, you
know what I mean. So you know, I'm trying to
work that back out because I definitely think it's a
market for right now. What do you think of the
recent rap beef we had between drink and meat because
you was involved at your own rap skirmish with kres
At once that that was just a hey, how you
doing cool bow with me? You know what I'm saying?
(21:15):
You threw shot? That was like gutting hurt of No, no no,
he threw I returned surf And everybody's like, no, you
ain't supposed to reply back because you're not real hip
hop whatever exactly. And I'm like, are you kidding me?
I got kids? How do I wake up and tell
my boys? Let a man smack you in the face
and you ain't gonna say nothing? You know what I'm saying?
Whether I was was was was in the right or
(21:36):
the wrong? You know what I'm saying. I just felt
like it was a defensive. But the thing about him
is I was hurt when he did that. I mean,
how do you not love Kriss one? You know this
love is gonna get you? Yeah? What did I do?
You know? This is why dot Dot ain't you know
what I'm saying like this is especially in the loop.
You know, those songs were so influential with what we do.
But um, we had a chance to talk, we did
(21:56):
the um what was what was the self destruction tool?
Like we did. We had a chance to work with that,
had a chance to rock out together in Atlanta, and
you know that whole thing was you know, I guess
he was doing him but we didn't have that in
the social media era. That's why that's now, that's it's
just out of hand. So, um, I don't know, man,
(22:18):
I mean, you know, I think it was very very
interesting for about two weeks. It was you know what
I'm saying, like it was on fire for two weeks.
And that's what I was saying too, Like look how
fast that came and went to the peak of it.
That had that been like in the nineties of the eighties,
you know that two packing Biggie went on for you know,
on a on a whole other level. But two weeks
(22:39):
is a long time now. But that's because it gets
so oversaturated everywhere yet a lot of Instagram. They got
a lot done, But I don't think like for me,
there was like yo, you know, me. I I don't
think it's a question of who's over or nothing like that,
because I don't think it's any fans of meat that's
not going to continue to support me, you know what
(23:02):
I'm saying. And I don't think it's any device versa.
The other way, what I do think is that maybe
you know what I'm saying, like to get to another
level of the game. Sometimes you know in businesses say yo,
you would have been a partner by now if you
would have learned how to play by the rules. You
know what I'm saying, Like, when you get to a
certain level, it's just certain things that you accept, and
(23:25):
that may be how you make hit records, not how
you make hit rap records, you know what I'm saying.
So a lot of times when you're making hit records,
I don't know anybody that's been in this game four
or five records deep that it had six, seven, eight
number ones that haven't took references or some type of
influence from from from somewhere else. I mean, now, when
(23:46):
you're talking about rap records, that's something different, because yeah,
of course you know you're doing rap records, you're gonna
do that. But if you're doing hit records, yo. You
know have you done that taking references? Yeah? I mean,
how could you not. I've worked with producers like Ll.
You work with JD. You're working with producers like that.
You know a lot of times they come in with
those are producers. They just ain't giving you beats. You
(24:08):
know what I'm saying. You go in and work with Pharrell.
Farrell's right, No, no, no, no, no no, no, no, you
gotta do it. You're gonna break the vibe. Mo, You're
gonna kill the vibe. You gotta You're just like, Okay,
that's how you dan to the studio where you were from. No,
that's how he get down. But there were some there
(24:29):
were some that that you could have taken that ended
up going to other people too, And that happens and
all the time. Okay, that was never my record. I
never heard that record. Okay. The rumor was that they
had gave that record to you. You turn it down,
and then Floor Reddy took it and didn't even change
the apple bottom part and just kept it. Nah. We
never heard that record, never ever. Um. But when we
did heard it, I thought it was me. Damn, I'm jamming.
(24:54):
When did I make sum you know, things work out
for this crazy and I told to us about Saint
Louis a little bit, because yeah, it's going down. When
that incident first happened, I mean you were and you
were up. I think everybody called. I mean everybody was
DM me. I think I called you one time to
speak to us. What's going what? It looks like a
lot of frustration, you know what I'm saying all over again,
(25:16):
and you're dealing with First of all, you know, Saint Louis,
we're not multicultural like a New York City and things
of that nature. Like even when you guys have your problems,
it's a it's a it's a different type of plan
of action, so to speak, because you know, you're a
little bit more organized up here as supposed to the
way things go. You still have frustrations, people still lash out,
But in Saint Louis, you know, we're very very still
(25:38):
black and white, you know, and we have been for
a very long time. Like I don't even know a
school up here. That's just one way, you know, you
go down to Saint Louis, it's it's schools down to
the just black schools down there, just white you know
what I mean. And you know they still haven't that
that type of struggle. So when something like this happens,
(25:59):
you know, it's hard to be heard when you're living
in situations like Ferguson or you're living in the city
or North Saint Louis and things of that nature. So
when things come to a head, you know, you get
these type of explosions. Um, what we want to do
is try to walk that thin line and say, Yo,
I understand the frustrations, but you also got to understand,
like yo, to accomplish this. This is what this is
(26:21):
gonna take. It's gonna take us understanding what the problem is.
A plan of action. We don't plan. We have no plan,
you see what I'm saying. And with happen with not
having no plan, then you just do whatever. You know
what I'm saying. It's like going into a huddle and
a football and nobody knows the play and you go
break and everybody just go to the line and then
it's like, yo, what we're running or we're passing? And
that's where we're at right now, you know what I mean, Like,
(26:43):
we have no no, no, no plan of action. And
when you don't have that people just do whatever. And
that's what's going on right now, and it's a lot
of frustration, but I'm trying to We're trying to get
people to understand. It's like, Yo, you know, the only
way we're gonna be able to do this is through education.
Only way we're gonna be able to do this is
recognizing what the problem is and getting the people from
those communities to go on to higher education then come
back and run these communities because they know the people.
(27:06):
And that's just our plan of you know how we
plan on fixing it. But it's not an overnight thing. Man,
It's not an overnight thing. My biggest fear, excuse my
biggest fear is ten years from now, we still ain't
have no plan. That's my biggest fear. And that's what
that's what makes it nervous right now. It's like, Yo,
I get it. We're yelling, you know what I'm saying.
We're doing what it is, but I just don't want
ten years from now we're still in the same place.
(27:27):
And it's funny because you said this exact same thing
when when it first happened with Michael Brown, and everybody
jumped on your throat and gave you fleck. What you
were saying was we need to play, we need to plan,
because I even feel like even a year later, it
seems like, first of all, the way the media portrays it,
you would think it's chaotic, inness right right right. You know,
(27:47):
you look on the news, look like Iraq, you can't
go nowhere. People scare you know, you get on a
you go anywhere, it's like, what are you going to
Saint Louis? Oh my god? Is it okay? Like yeah,
I mean that's wait, you know what I'm saying, Like
it's it's it's not as if they make it look
on TV at all. You know, had there been any
changes in the police department in that area? Um for
(28:11):
my understanding, I mean yeah, small, But again, it's not
just the police department. It's it's it's all of it.
It's the prosecutor, it's the mayor's the city council, it's
everybody in that situation. Because that organization is what's running
that part of town. Now you have to get in
there and change that organization and get different systems in place, though,
(28:32):
so where people aren't feeling so harassed and they feel like, yo,
this is home as opposed that they being trapped. It
needs to be a reflection of the residents too. I
would think, yeah, yeah, definitely has to be. Well that's
anywhere though. When you don't have that, what are you
gonna get? You know what I'm saying? You same thing
like say South Africa. You know what I'm saying. You
(28:53):
look at these white folks running all these brothers and
use what else are you gonna get? You know, it
gets crazy. Real Husband's Hollywood changed your situation roll. Kevin's
a funny guy. Kevin's a real funny guy. You know,
Real Husband's Hollywood. We started back up when I think, um,
let's come out yeah this week, but we already filmed it. Man,
(29:16):
That's what I don't understand. We should I say that
he just did uh four four miss Robin. He actually
saw Charlotte Mane the other day. He did. You know what,
that was a situation. You know, we put ourselves in
(29:36):
our own situations. Man. You know what I'm saying. That
was a I think that I love Robin as an artist.
He's a cool dude. But truth be told, you know,
Robin is the reason he's not on Real Husband's in Hollywood.
You know what I'm saying, that that's something he wanted
to do, he would he would still be there, or
if he took it as seriously as we did. You
know what I'm saying, as we are, he would still
be there, you know what I mean. But he needed
now I'm not I'm not saying that he won't be
(29:58):
there because Yo, dudes, he's a great guy. You know
what I'm saying. But I mean, that's just the truth,
all right, going away. We appreciate you doing it, no man, anytime,
any time, man, I thought Charlott Mane was going as
some bottom. No, I gave all those away. Actually I did.
I gave I love. I got another one. I gave
every gifted him. I'm gonna read gifted. I appreciate you, Drake,
(30:20):
thank you. And he still has the card after every gram. Yep,
he just drew a line through it. Actually wrote like
four different cards all say the same thing. Let's be
that he really wrote that, or that some person that different.
Either way, we appreciate it, no doubt. Well it's the
breakfast claims. Yeah, man,
A real key for real Celebrity Real joined the breakfasting
DJ Envy, Angela Yi, Charlomagne the Guy. We are the
Breakfast Club Special guests to the room, mister nell A, Hey,
what's adding it up? So good? How y'all still getting
a lot of money out here? We see oh Man
surviving survivor I arrest looking for him. I'm gonna saying
(00:27):
he can have his I don't flavor around him. You
ain't got no choice. Und Sam coming to you with
the guns out. Get down on the floor. I'm taking
it with you, That's what I'm saying. Like you might,
We'll give it to him then and I'll sense an
arguing with him. Now, you got a new album coming
out this week? Yeah, Well, a new new song, new
single single, new single, The Fix. Explain the Fix Well
The Fix are produced by my Man Mustard Um featuring
(00:48):
Jeremiah Um. You know Marvin Gay sample, but it's cleared
to make sure this time around you think all that's
some shit. Um, I don't think it is. Uh, I don't.
I mean, I don't know. You know, I share the
same publisher um as as Mustard and things like that.
(01:10):
So when I got the track, from him, um Roan
Royan Perry, who's our published? He told me it was
already clear. So I said, before I do anything to
this record, you know, let me know that it's all
cool and it's all straight. You need to talk to them.
A year later, we're suing yeah, because they for Empire.
(01:30):
Now yeah, they called for everybody. Man. They're suing homosexual too.
They don't want them to use the word game no
more noo my goodness. So what do you like? What
do you like more doing now? You like being in
front of the camera? You still like making music more?
Because I mean you was in the industry when the
industry was good, like like really good? Like is it's
(01:52):
still fun? Um? I think making music is still fun.
I mean, obviously the business is bullsh half the time,
but I mean, you know, doing music, it ain't. I
think I will always do it, regardless whether I was
making money on it or not. But will it be
put out? That's something different. But I think the release
is good, you know what I'm saying. To get in
and create, I think that's always good. You're no, no,
(02:15):
no no, no, I fulfilled all that, you know what
I mean? Universal for ever because it was else. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying forever. So you know it's all great,
you know, family, No hard feelers, no nothing fulfilled the obligation. UM.
We talked about doing that, but I wanted to take
time back because the way the game is, it didn't
(02:36):
you know. I want to do what makes sense for me. Yeah,
I feel like this makes more sense for me. I
mean that the situation that you're in with social media,
you got your own marketing, you got your own you know,
situation as far as being able to, um, you know,
let people know what you got going on. And I
got great outlets as far as television and things like that.
So you know, I'm gonna cut down on some overhead,
and it don't make sense. I was gonna say, you're
(02:57):
gonna miss some of that that label, spending a lot
of that money that you had to come out to
pocket for. Yeah, but for what getting charged for. I
was getting overcharged. I didn't do it to the Cold Crush,
but they was hitting me right. You know what I'm saying.
Now doing your show, Nellieville, I'm sure you had to
be very cautious about what you put out there. We
had manner up here the other day, and he was saying,
sometimes it's hard to see those artists that you look
(03:17):
up to and really admired on television because you're like, wow,
that's what they're like, you know, in real life, and
they want to create this type of mystique, you know.
For you, m said, they look corny on TV. Sometimes,
that's what he said, He said, you look. You were
just saying sometimes in general, you know, you do a show,
because he was going to do a show right um,
and he was saying, it's just difficult because sometimes you
(03:37):
see your favorite artists and you liked, that's what they
act like. So for you, how cautious were you about
what you wanted to put out there? Well? I think
for me, the whole basis of our show was to
show this side. But it didn't It didn't matter if
you knew this side of me. It's not a change,
you know what I'm saying, Like I'm raising my kids
and you know, and and letting you into letting you
know that Nellie, just don't party every damn night, and
(03:59):
this is what goals on. And I'm trying to, you know,
bring decent human beings into society, you know what I mean.
So that didn't matter. Now if it was you know,
a different type of scenario. Let's say, you know, all
of love and hip hop or something to that nature,
then that's that's something different. Not that I'm knocking it,
because it's been great outlets for certain people, you know
(04:19):
what I mean. But for me, I just wanted to
show something that wasn't out there. Single father and hip hop,
you know, doing what he's supposed to be doing. You know,
we get so much negativity and like we're not there.
You know what I'm saying. That half of the brothers
I know there's in the hip hop or you know,
they love being a father, you know what I'm saying,
to take pride in it. So I thought that should
be shown. That's what I like about it, because you're
(04:40):
not you're showing that it's cool to be grown raiding
my kids and rating my nephew. And because we got
that type of scenario. No again, like we always talking about,
we'd only generation where we share so much with our kids,
you know what I'm saying, Like I never did this
much with my father, not that well because partially he
wasn't there. But what I'm saying, but the other reason,
(05:01):
we just didn't do that, you know what I'm saying.
Like me and my son, you know, we rocked the
same clothes, same shoes, listen to the same music, watch
the same shows. Like you know, we have the same
interest and that I don't think that happened in any
other generations, Like it's happening with our Yeah, well yeah,
I like you know those consequences if you up, you know,
(05:23):
he can get a shot at it. I was having
this conversation with somebody only that's a good thing or
a bad thing that we so I got similar, Like
the generations aren't too far apart, you know. I think
I think it's a good thing because you cut through
all the bullsh you know what I'm saying. You get
to the reality of what life is and you move
on and it's not a it's not a it's not
so much hypocritical, you know what I mean. Like we
(05:45):
went through a lot of our parents. You know, once
you got older, he was like, man, y'all used to
you know what I'm saying, And now it's just like, hey, hey,
don't you know, Jill Big you're gonna get up. I'm
telling you, you know what I'm saying, Like that's not
the move, you know, other than just get wow. But
pile still works, you know, so good Now, I sell,
(06:06):
you've been supporting a lot of artists from Saint Louis
as well. I sell. You were out there filming videos,
you were working with Tiffany Foxes from Saint Louis. Yeah,
Tiffany's from Saint Louis, from New York somewhere. Oh no,
well you know her, she got a great relationship with
Loui Kim, right, That's why I thought that because of
her relationship. A little kid had a great relationship with Kim.
But yeah, she's definitely, Uh, I tell your funny stuff.
(06:28):
You go look at the Country Grammar video. Tiffany's in it. Yeah.
From from the very very beginning, y'all known each other
for a minute. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, she's been trying to
you know, working out thing for a minute. And it's
good for her to finally get us stuff going. And
you know what I'm saying, getting that chance to rock.
So she's dope. And then I tell you commenting on
BT and Cut because they psyched us all out and
(06:49):
told us BT and Cut was coming back, and you're like, man,
what is this? But I'm sure you knew all alone.
They wasn't bringing it back being your relationship with BT
that they were punking us. Yeah, did you watch no?
Because I figured that World store every day, I'm like,
what could bet Uncut show? I won't working this day
and age? I don't think. I thought it was a
good prank though, to bring punk back. I thought it
(07:11):
was a good story for plump. Do you know what?
And if you look at Uncut now, it's it's harmless.
Now when you look at you know what I'm saying,
if you go back on World Start now you look
at that on that that's straight porn girl getting paid
on you know what, I'm heart attack. It's like one
credit card and heart attack. But it's interesting because when
we had Uncle Luke up here, he was talking about
(07:31):
you know himself back then and how they wouldn't even
let his record be in stores. People were getting arrested
just for selling him because they had a throng on
on the cover or just the content. They said. The
content changes, times change. Sometimes you got to be the
person that it's out there on the cross. Yes, I
(07:52):
still have my percentages, you know what I'm saying. You know,
you move on and get other things going on. So
I'm definitely working on new apparel and everything like that.
So you know, again, man, you know, life has been
good for me. I can't complain. You're talking about sixteen
years later. You know, if you could be sixteen years
and anything, you know, that's that's what you want to do. Man,
A piece of the hornets. Yeah, man, we still have that.
(08:13):
I thought you're gonna come to the game whatever. I'm
gonna come as soon as I get some time. And
sad they say you're doing a country album. No no, no, no, no.
I think that got you know, so I don't know
where that get. Screw that, but you know, don't get
it twisted. You know, I'm a very, very very much
(08:35):
a fan of all music, country music, no doubt. And
you know, I'm like the only hip hop artist to
be able to get number one hits on pop, country,
hip hop, on be rhythmic and all of them. You know,
damn they're everything across the board. So people have appreciated
things that I do. I would never say I'm doing
a country I'm gonna have a fine respect for country music.
But what I do want to do is do maybe
(08:56):
EP or album that transcends all formats that say to
be played on, all formats that go across the board,
and including country, including you know, including hip hop, including everything.
So um, you know, it may feature some country artists
some things that nature, but it's not a country album
no way. Shape Before somebody asked you if you should
do one, and I said, why not? That said hip
hop fans are so fickle. Well, you know what I mean,
(09:17):
why why not do it? Because I think I think
I think then the country fans get kind of twisted.
You see what I'm saying. I think when you try
to force feed, force feed audience that that is true
to the heart. I mean sometimes I don't always go
the way that you want to do it. That's like
Golf Brooks jumping off, I'm about to do a rap
album because he because he has successful. I had success,
(09:37):
we had success. Now he think he's going to do
and being some you know what I'm saying, And you like, okay,
So they wouldn't brace you. It'd be calling you a perpetrator,
like are you friend? You don't? Yeah? Yeah. I think
when you're trying to come for him like that. But
I think if you let them gravitate to the music
and you let the music speak for themselves and everybody
voice counts absolutely. Now we were up here, we saw
the stories of you getting arrested and then the charges
(09:59):
getting Yeah, you know, for you having meth on the
bus or something like that. How do you go home
and explain that to the kids, though, like you know,
it wasn't on the bus. Let me tell you something, man,
let me tell you something, everybody, there's no way shaping hell.
I have meth on my bus first, first and foremost.
Then today I'm like na, man, Um, we had a party,
(10:30):
it was after a show, and you know, the responsibility
on my factor that I step up is like I
tried to tell my kids, I left up because I'm
responsible for that bus. That's my bus. That bus is
in my name. Therefore, if anything happens, guess who they
the name falls, you know what I mean. So in
that situation, um, it's my bus. You know what I'm saying.
(10:53):
But once we went and everybody everything was out, then
there was no way that they could do that. I
get my guns back everything. You know, I don't have
illegal guns. You always riding around the legal gun. No,
I have a gun permit. I have a license that
say I can carry and conceal in thirty three states.
You see what I'm saying. I'm not running around here
like a felony with drugs and guns. You know what
I'm saying. My guns are strictly for defense, you know,
(11:15):
going down down, you know. So, I mean, you know,
it was a situation that, um, you know, I wish
I had to putting myself in, but I did. And again,
it's not about the mistakes that you make. It's about
how you own up to him. And that's what I
try to show my kids, Like, Yo, we were not perfect,
but we can be perfect in our approach and taking responsibility.
So did you scream on your team like mother because
(11:37):
y'all cannot have meth on the damn bus? I screamed
on them. They're like, Yo, ain't none of you gonna
raise your hand? No, nobody's planing that. No. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying. That's let's see, that's that's that's
(11:58):
really why I'm pissed. That's really why I got here.
It's just because see this, you know. But you know,
t man, we were having them fun man blast. The
show was crazy, you know, what I'm saying. You know,
at this one time, everybody like twenty thousand people out
of here. You know, police is right outside. I didn't
(12:20):
know them, They wouldn't know their job. Do you ever
feel the need to prove the people that you still
are doing your thing out there? Are you still selling
our shows? You're still making money? No? No, not well,
not to those that that don't want me to be
doing that. You know, you can't prove anything to people
that don't want to see the obvious. You know what
(12:40):
I'm saying, Like it's obvious. It's in your face. With
social media or whatever artists is doing, it's in your face.
You don't there's no way you can't not know. If
you don't want to know, if you don't want to
see something, you don't have to see it. But there's
no way you can't see it. I just think, you know,
it just is what it is. My fans, they see it,
they support it, and the other mutherthers, I mean, you
(13:01):
know they're gonna be there anyway, and nothing I canna
do about it because I don't feel like it's people
showing people how to have longevity. Now, I don't. I
don't think this generation is built for longevity. Nope, they're
not built for it as a fan. They're not built
for it as an artist. You know what I'm saying,
Everything is the now, it's to burn out. You know
what I'm saying. It's to go hard now, go hard now.
And then it's the same way. Um. On the other end,
(13:22):
as a fan, go hard, go hard. You know what
I'm saying, turn out. Eventually you had to turn down,
you know, so that turned down them all. How is
it for your kids now being celebrities, being on TV,
everybody knowing who they are, and yeah, that's different for them.
That's different for them. That's the that's the scary part
of any parent, you know what I'm saying, because that's
(13:43):
the I can't control how people approach them. Um, how
they approached the situation and things like that. But they
good kids. Man, they make me look good. Don't get
it twisted. I'm not without a support group, you know
what I'm saying. My kids and mother, they've She's very
much in their lives. It's it's a team f But
you know what I'm saying, she's married, so you know,
me and her husband are great friends. My god, you
(14:09):
know something happens, I'm called hey, hey, hey, what she do?
Don't leave us? You Floyd may Weather never worked at
your differences or you just never have a problem with Floyd.
I never have had a problem. You started the whole
No can't read anything? No, no, no, I'm gonna tell
(14:30):
you why Nellie was on first tape. Nellie alluded to
the fact you only had a thick, great education, and
I was like, what are you talking about? And then
fifty was like he can't read. I'm like, whoa, what's
going on there? And then you play the tapes? Yes
I did, and he apologized for that. I didn't apologize
to him, alogize didn't feel bad, you know what I'm saying.
(14:51):
Not not that I felt bad because it's may Weather.
He's a villain. Can I feel bad for the bad guy? Bad?
Like that? Was feel low? But I never have a problem.
I never have a problem with him, you know what
I mean? Like he he has problems. Problems, Yeah, in
genera you know what I mean. But um man, you know,
(15:12):
I think he's a I think he's a great boxer.
You should watch his fights. Um yeah, I mean, how
can you he's only got boxing? What else who else
you gonna watch? You know what I mean? Good boxes
out there? Yeah, I won't see triple do so all
right now you also have shan't tell up here with
you now if you guys, I'm not saying you are,
(15:32):
But if y'all got married, would you do that on TV? Uh? No,
I don't think that's Look as I look old, pission
change her last name, BT, came with an Emma better
and and they paid for the wedding. Come on, I
(16:01):
got to think about it. I'm trying to say, no,
need this money back, you know what I mean? Now,
I don't think so well? You know what again again? No, no,
no, no no, no, no god. This is just that I
think as a man, you know, because being married is
something more. It's it's it's a female thing, you know
what I'm saying. As a kid, we don't. We never
think about if you want to be a superhero or
(16:24):
trash man or a police officer when you like, you know, man,
what I'm saying. You know, when you're trash man hanging
off the truck, that looked like a great job. You
know what I'm saying. You know, I thought it was
a good job. Like look at him. Man, you get
the hang on the back of a truck and he
(16:47):
gets paid. You know what I'm saying. Like, but you know,
little girls, you know they dream about their wedding since
they you know, since they little. But you know, we
don't give it. I think we do it because of him. No, No,
but I think that's her. I think we do it
for her. It's saying, Yo, this is your day. Come on, guy.
We don't get no song. No, nobody stands up when
(17:08):
we come out. No, we get point where to go.
We don't even pick the colors. Our homeboys were damn right.
They picked the outfits for our cats. Finally, Yo, Yo,
you weren't green future. I'm sure you can be as
involved as you want to be. Yeah, to show up,
Yeah that's it, and wait an hour after you already
get dressed for her to get ready. I'm not gonna lie.
(17:30):
Charlemagne didn't take his wedding as seriously as I thought.
He invited me and Envy the week before and it
was like a party. Yeah, I couldn't even go. It
wasn't even here. Can't give us. He handed me a
little flying flying for your walking God. And then I happened.
(17:54):
I happened to see his wife in the airport before
while she was going to the wedding. I was going
to the behindmas. I already had a triplane and she
was like, you're not coming to the wedding. I said,
Charlemagne just invited me last week. I already had this.
She said, I knew it. Man, he wasn't. Hey, man,
don't try to get me involved. A week before he
was hoping it would get castled. He's like, I don't
(18:17):
know if Rainy Sea. Do you like being a part
of on other horness? Man? You do? Do you kick
it with MJ? Yeah? Man? But you know what what
I'm gonna tell them about basketball? I mean serious? You know,
even if I got a good idea, keep it to myself.
At least we're designing uniforms or something. Yeah, well, yeah,
we do do that, you know what I'm saying. I
(18:38):
helped UM do some things for like um, what we
call the honey the honey bees and things like that
for the cheerleaders in the dance squads and stuff like that,
especially when we're doing through apple bottoms and stuff. But
as far as the uniforms, not yet. Um. You know,
Mike is an interesting guy. He's a very very interesting guy.
You know. It's like it's like a certain people, how
(19:00):
do you talk to them? And like and a lot
of mikes Michael Jackson, how would you talk to him?
How would you Michael Jordan? How do you talk to him?
You know what I'm saying, Like, I mean, other than cool,
like that's my uncle. But as far as telling him
about something that he was the epitome of, it's kind
of like, how do you do it? I could never
talk to Elle Elle about hip hop? Like you know
(19:22):
what I'm saying about, yo, you know, I could tell
him what works for me, but I don't know. But
I mean, it's a new era. Or you could talk
to you. I can't. I can't tell exactly because it's like, yo,
you know, without him, I wouldn't be Yeah, it was.
It was a small comparison quick too, it's like no, no,
(19:44):
don't do that, don't do that. I did have that
pleasure of doing that tribute bh one the hip hop
like that was one of the highlights so much. And
I'm gonna tell you something though he was he was
filed on that too, which was fouled. Uncle was fouled.
Ell was filed like you know we was doing and
I'm backstage right and I'm about ready to go on.
I never get nervous, never nervous. I got my troop
outfit on. I just I just bought the duke, he
(20:06):
wrote from kwamein. He coming back my duke, he wrote,
wasn't big enough. Quamin comes walking through. I said, Yo,
real quick, I've got fifteen minutes. I bring it right back.
He gives it to me. I'm about ready to go out.
L comes in, YO, make me look good. Baby. What
I'm saying, I'm like, oh, you know what I'm saying, like, oh,
(20:29):
that was wrong, that was wrong. Head trying to zone out.
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm trying to zone.
I'm trying to get right. I'm trying to hit my points.
And here he comes with that. I was like, that
was real file man. But he's a Yo. He's unbelievable.
He's always been very very supportive and what I've done
and what I've been able to do with my career.
And yeah, he's he's been dope. Did you buy the truth? No? No, no, no,
(20:52):
I licensed it. I licensed it um but then the
person who I licensed it from he was nuts, you
know what I mean. So you know, I'm trying to
work that back out because I definitely think it's a
market for right now. What do you think of the
recent rap beef we had between drink and meat because
you was involved at your own rap skirmish with kres
At once that that was just a hey, how you
doing cool bow with me? You know what I'm saying?
(21:15):
You threw shot? That was like gutting hurt of No, no no,
he threw I returned surf And everybody's like, no, you
ain't supposed to reply back because you're not real hip
hop whatever exactly. And I'm like, are you kidding me?
I got kids? How do I wake up and tell
my boys? Let a man smack you in the face
and you ain't gonna say nothing? You know what I'm saying?
Whether I was was was was in the right or
(21:36):
the wrong? You know what I'm saying. I just felt
like it was a defensive. But the thing about him
is I was hurt when he did that. I mean,
how do you not love Kriss one? You know this
love is gonna get you? Yeah? What did I do?
You know? This is why dot Dot ain't you know
what I'm saying like this is especially in the loop.
You know, those songs were so influential with what we do.
But um, we had a chance to talk, we did
(21:56):
the um what was what was the self destruction tool?
Like we did. We had a chance to work with that,
had a chance to rock out together in Atlanta, and
you know that whole thing was you know, I guess
he was doing him but we didn't have that in
the social media era. That's why that's now, that's it's
just out of hand. So, um, I don't know, man,
(22:18):
I mean, you know, I think it was very very
interesting for about two weeks. It was you know what
I'm saying, like it was on fire for two weeks.
And that's what I was saying too, Like look how
fast that came and went to the peak of it.
That had that been like in the nineties of the eighties,
you know that two packing Biggie went on for you know,
on a on a whole other level. But two weeks
(22:39):
is a long time now. But that's because it gets
so oversaturated everywhere yet a lot of Instagram. They got
a lot done, But I don't think like for me,
there was like yo, you know, me. I I don't
think it's a question of who's over or nothing like that,
because I don't think it's any fans of meat that's
not going to continue to support me, you know what
(23:02):
I'm saying. And I don't think it's any device versa.
The other way, what I do think is that maybe
you know what I'm saying, like to get to another
level of the game. Sometimes you know in businesses say yo,
you would have been a partner by now if you
would have learned how to play by the rules. You
know what I'm saying, Like, when you get to a
certain level, it's just certain things that you accept, and
(23:25):
that may be how you make hit records, not how
you make hit rap records, you know what I'm saying.
So a lot of times when you're making hit records,
I don't know anybody that's been in this game four
or five records deep that it had six, seven, eight
number ones that haven't took references or some type of
influence from from from somewhere else. I mean, now, when
(23:46):
you're talking about rap records, that's something different, because yeah,
of course you know you're doing rap records, you're gonna
do that. But if you're doing hit records, yo. You
know have you done that taking references? Yeah? I mean,
how could you not. I've worked with producers like Ll.
You work with JD. You're working with producers like that.
You know a lot of times they come in with
those are producers. They just ain't giving you beats. You
(24:08):
know what I'm saying. You go in and work with Pharrell.
Farrell's right, No, no, no, no, no no, no, no, you
gotta do it. You're gonna break the vibe. Mo, You're
gonna kill the vibe. You gotta You're just like, Okay,
that's how you dan to the studio where you were from. No,
that's how he get down. But there were some there
(24:29):
were some that that you could have taken that ended
up going to other people too, And that happens and
all the time. Okay, that was never my record. I
never heard that record. Okay. The rumor was that they
had gave that record to you. You turn it down,
and then Floor Reddy took it and didn't even change
the apple bottom part and just kept it. Nah. We
never heard that record, never ever. Um. But when we
did heard it, I thought it was me. Damn, I'm jamming.
(24:54):
When did I make sum you know, things work out
for this crazy and I told to us about Saint
Louis a little bit, because yeah, it's going down. When
that incident first happened, I mean you were and you
were up. I think everybody called. I mean everybody was
DM me. I think I called you one time to
speak to us. What's going what? It looks like a
lot of frustration, you know what I'm saying all over again,
(25:16):
and you're dealing with First of all, you know, Saint Louis,
we're not multicultural like a New York City and things
of that nature. Like even when you guys have your problems,
it's a it's a it's a different type of plan
of action, so to speak, because you know, you're a
little bit more organized up here as supposed to the
way things go. You still have frustrations, people still lash out,
But in Saint Louis, you know, we're very very still
(25:38):
black and white, you know, and we have been for
a very long time. Like I don't even know a
school up here. That's just one way, you know, you
go down to Saint Louis, it's it's schools down to
the just black schools down there, just white you know
what I mean. And you know they still haven't that
that type of struggle. So when something like this happens,
(25:59):
you know, it's hard to be heard when you're living
in situations like Ferguson or you're living in the city
or North Saint Louis and things of that nature. So
when things come to a head, you know, you get
these type of explosions. Um, what we want to do
is try to walk that thin line and say, Yo,
I understand the frustrations, but you also got to understand,
like yo, to accomplish this. This is what this is
(26:21):
gonna take. It's gonna take us understanding what the problem is.
A plan of action. We don't plan. We have no plan,
you see what I'm saying. And with happen with not
having no plan, then you just do whatever. You know
what I'm saying. It's like going into a huddle and
a football and nobody knows the play and you go
break and everybody just go to the line and then
it's like, yo, what we're running or we're passing? And
that's where we're at right now, you know what I mean, Like,
(26:43):
we have no no, no, no plan of action. And
when you don't have that people just do whatever. And
that's what's going on right now, and it's a lot
of frustration, but I'm trying to We're trying to get
people to understand. It's like, Yo, you know, the only
way we're gonna be able to do this is through education.
Only way we're gonna be able to do this is
recognizing what the problem is and getting the people from
those communities to go on to higher education then come
back and run these communities because they know the people.
(27:06):
And that's just our plan of you know how we
plan on fixing it. But it's not an overnight thing. Man,
It's not an overnight thing. My biggest fear, excuse my
biggest fear is ten years from now, we still ain't
have no plan. That's my biggest fear. And that's what
that's what makes it nervous right now. It's like, Yo,
I get it. We're yelling, you know what I'm saying.
We're doing what it is, but I just don't want
ten years from now we're still in the same place.
(27:27):
And it's funny because you said this exact same thing
when when it first happened with Michael Brown, and everybody
jumped on your throat and gave you fleck. What you
were saying was we need to play, we need to plan,
because I even feel like even a year later, it
seems like, first of all, the way the media portrays it,
you would think it's chaotic, inness right right right. You know,
(27:47):
you look on the news, look like Iraq, you can't
go nowhere. People scare you know, you get on a
you go anywhere, it's like, what are you going to
Saint Louis? Oh my god? Is it okay? Like yeah,
I mean that's wait, you know what I'm saying, Like
it's it's it's not as if they make it look
on TV at all. You know, had there been any
changes in the police department in that area? Um for
(28:11):
my understanding, I mean yeah, small, But again, it's not
just the police department. It's it's it's all of it.
It's the prosecutor, it's the mayor's the city council, it's
everybody in that situation. Because that organization is what's running
that part of town. Now you have to get in
there and change that organization and get different systems in place, though,
(28:32):
so where people aren't feeling so harassed and they feel like, yo,
this is home as opposed that they being trapped. It
needs to be a reflection of the residents too. I
would think, yeah, yeah, definitely has to be. Well that's
anywhere though. When you don't have that, what are you
gonna get? You know what I'm saying? You same thing
like say South Africa. You know what I'm saying. You
(28:53):
look at these white folks running all these brothers and
use what else are you gonna get? You know, it
gets crazy. Real Husband's Hollywood changed your situation roll. Kevin's
a funny guy. Kevin's a real funny guy. You know,
Real Husband's Hollywood. We started back up when I think, um,
let's come out yeah this week, but we already filmed it. Man,
(29:16):
That's what I don't understand. We should I say that
he just did uh four four miss Robin. He actually
saw Charlotte Mane the other day. He did. You know what,
that was a situation. You know, we put ourselves in
(29:36):
our own situations. Man. You know what I'm saying. That
was a I think that I love Robin as an artist.
He's a cool dude. But truth be told, you know,
Robin is the reason he's not on Real Husband's in Hollywood.
You know what I'm saying, that that's something he wanted
to do, he would he would still be there, or
if he took it as seriously as we did. You
know what I'm saying, as we are, he would still
be there, you know what I mean. But he needed
now I'm not I'm not saying that he won't be
(29:58):
there because Yo, dudes, he's a great guy. You know
what I'm saying. But I mean, that's just the truth,
all right, going away. We appreciate you doing it, no man, anytime,
any time, man, I thought Charlott Mane was going as
some bottom. No, I gave all those away. Actually I did.
I gave I love. I got another one. I gave
every gifted him. I'm gonna read gifted. I appreciate you, Drake,
(30:20):
thank you. And he still has the card after every gram. Yep,
he just drew a line through it. Actually wrote like
four different cards all say the same thing. Let's be
that he really wrote that, or that some person that different.
Either way, we appreciate it, no doubt. Well it's the
breakfast claims. Yeah, man,
