Speaker 1 (02:43):
I mean, I say I knew about it, but we.

Didn't know about it. We just just popped the video
up and we've seen everybody.

Speaker 1 (02:49):

Speaker 1 (02:59):
What did that initially start?

Speaker 4 (03:00):

I mean I know that I know that you all
had your differites, but when did y'all start the process?
Is like, we're gonna go back in and get this ship,

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Well, I was out here in Cali like I always do,
and you know, something just told me pick up the
phone and call him because we've been fusing for a while,
you know what I'm saying. So I picked up the phone.
So I just had disagreements, you know, disagreement agreed district. Yeah,
so you know, I picked up the phone and the

(03:29):
first time I picked up the phone didn't go somewhere.
It didn't go.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
So how did that conversation go?

Speaker 5 (03:34):
It was like, yeah, we was cool. Then my uncle
called said something kicked off, and then we called back again,
and you know, just work at it and make it happen.
And then I was in the studio over here, Snoop
invite me over here, and I didn't know Corrup was
coming in the door. So I was just in there
talking to him. That's I know. Corrupt came in there,
and that's I know. We dropped like four songs in
the same got hour or something.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
So the first the first session, the.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
First song was smoke Up.

Speaker 4 (04:00):

that Snoop guy. I was here talking to the dog
getting it together. You know what I'm saying. Cort walking like, hey,
what's up man, how you doing? He didn't even know
with me.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm sure he didn't expect you to see you.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
And then that turned around. You're like, man, that sound like, damn,

Speaker 6 (04:36):
I looked to the right and I'm like, yeah, I
shake the hand and nigga sitting in the chair with something.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
And the first song we did was smoke.

Speaker 1 (04:53):

at you.

Speaker 5 (04:57):

trying to do the ship on the loft.

Speaker 5 (05:08):

Speaker 1 (05:11):
So what was your reaction in corrupt like when when.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
You I just told you, I was like, you big here.
I look at dogs he on the boards and he
turned around smile.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, I said YouTube because yeah, And then.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
We started putting them beats on them. We started knocking
that ship out and I love it, but We had
half the album done in three and a half days,
so it wasn't four days. The whole album was done
and we came back to another week of shot video
and now we're here again. This is the third time.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
So there was no discussion about we're gonna do this album.
It was just y'all just start knocking songs out.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
It's just naturally natural, right and want nothing out of
the ordinary. Just start knocking that ship out and putting
it together. And then we shot some videos for it.
Let me shot smoke up. Yeah, same. I know.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
It's got to be an amazing feeling me because again
through differences coming back together, you know, going back and forth, man,
but it's always like a recurrent theme.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's like, yo, it's family at the end of the day.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
So even with you saying, you know, disagreements, differences, whatever
the case may be, it's good to see that no
matter what it's like, we can come back together and
the energy, the chemistry is just.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Doesn't go anywhere, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I feel like that's what I'm excited to hear from
the new record. But from your perspective, we all we
got what is the meaning of the title. I mean,
I feel like we kind of already explained it right now,
but from both of your perspectives, we all we got, man,
why that title?

Speaker 5 (06:38):
I mean, it's like going to a Vietnam war. Were
in there? We all we got we got to go
in here and maybe because that's all we know is
just us doing music together. You know what I'm saying?
From what thirty three years of music, three decades of music,
that's crazy. Seven thousand songs.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
That's why we seven thousand songs?

Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah, from group solos who added that ship up when
you look at your be and my as because universe,
how much you gotta calculate it up? You know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Seven thousand songs.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
It's like Flex records, but it's heavy.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
So how many of we're gonna get on on the
album in itself?

Speaker 5 (07:23):
We all we got fourteen tracks?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, okay, can we talk about features?

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Can we talk about you know, getting records together and
that that nature?

Speaker 5 (07:33):
You know, we got the baby on there? Okay, we got.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
He said we stopped there.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
You got to hear the album was like, yeah, that's enough.
The baby on the Oh my god, hey, correct, what's
your favorite part of the album process, because I know Dad,
he likes the mischief and he likes the chaotic energy.
What's your favorite part about going in and recording the album,
whether solo or a group.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
The aura, the aura.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
It ain't about money, you say, it ain't about money.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's about the aura. It's about us, the energy.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
It's all about us.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Is that something that has been a.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Learned behavior from you over time or is there something
that has always been in theate, Like, no matter what,
it's always out of the three decades of making music,
it's always been about the aura.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
It's always been about us. You lose focus and then
you get back on track with family, family, butt heads.
You know when it's real family, you know it's forever.

Speaker 7 (08:40):
Whatever, ever like ever.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
You know what's interesting. I was explaining our politics out here,
like what everything's going on? Right, and this interury you
said that like we're family, and it's kind of like
the principle where it's like corrupt. Can't say something about Dad,
but you can't say something about that.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
That's what I told you. I just something about Snoop,
but you can't.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I can say something that that's.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
You started to Kanye West of it had me go
to jail. What you mean, clo awful.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
For the record, you know what I'm saying. But I
was just explaining like the nature of a brotherhood and fam.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
You know, to the you know, to we die man.
You know what I'm saying when we get on stage
is that magical moment. You know what I'm saying. We
just got off stage from seth Rogan the other night
we performed killing It. You know what I'm saying, People
glad to see us back together. That means more music,
more shows, more West coasting.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
More West coast.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
You know what I'm saying, hanging with head because we've
been hanging together for years. Yeah, yeah, before the fan right.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
The reason why I brought that up, though, is because, like,
I think it's important to note that I don't think
it's don't think it's unique to us when it comes
to like the California shit. I think it's everybody feels
that way, like when they have family members and whatnot.
It's like, bro, yeah that's my brother, Like, and he
a fuck up, but you can't call him a fuck up.
I can call him a fuck up, but you can't. Well,
we're gonna have problems and I think that's I want

(10:15):
to talk about culture, right, and I think that that's
something that's missing, Like people don't understand certain cultures. And
from your perspective, what's what's been part of that fabric
of keeping y'all culture together in that way? Like from
it from a standpoint from the outside looking at I
don't know, corrupt, I don't know. DA's right? What's that glue?

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Like?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
What's that? What's that part of it?

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Phone calls? Is it? Text messages?

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Group chats? Is it?

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Like?

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Who who's the one that keeps it? That keeps it together?

Speaker 6 (10:43):
We just cut from a different cloth, cut from a
different cut, from a different cloth. We grew up a
different way. It's the way you it was the way
you was raised. You know, we were raised different. We
was raised about ethic, respect.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
Principle, principles, the principal sloping.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
That's all it nowadays, DP. You know, back in the days,
it's called Peter role nigga.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
You get Peter.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
Nigga, understand me, motherfucker's just you gotta you gotta just
have a certain respect about yourself. It comes from the
gang bang community. The way we was raised, the gang
Bang community was about having principal and respect and and
also you know, appreciation for your neighborhood. So therefore it

(11:43):
comes with integrity and all all that. You know what
I'm saying, and living for a reason. You have a
reason why you're pushing your line. See what I'm saying.
That you will never give up, You'll never tell you,
you'll never expose, you keep it to yourself. It's a

(12:04):
certain kind of life that we were taught the way
to live life and to become men, and then we
enhanced it by becoming men because they never really taught
us about being men.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
They just taught us about how the bang.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
You know, we had to learn how to become men
on our own. So uh, you know it started though
from the Gang Bang being in the gang in the streets.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
What do you think? What do you think has lost
in and now in this generation or future generations? And
why that don't why that don't exist? Why everybody is
like anarchy out here?

Speaker 5 (12:41):
The Internet, that's what it's free. You know, you get
here and say tell what you want, it's gonna get
all the way over there. The way they instant man
Man man man, and a lot of drama had a
lot of drama has started through the internet facts, because
back in the days, we didn't have no drama. We
just had to go find you know what I'm saying.
You're talking miss about some money. You bump into him,

(13:03):
That's that's all.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, but what but as far as cold, you think
that's still a thing either corrupt that you think that's.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
I have no idea, you don't think, Yeah, I have
no opinion on it.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Does that come with age and wisdom to not even
want to go back and try to figure it out?
Because I get a sense of just like, yo, whatever
it is, it is, I I kind of have you
have this or of like, yeah, like the cold, like
anybody with my piece, nobody messing with my piece.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Some of that you're thinking is very interesting. I mean grandchildren,
I have none exactly.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
See, but you got kids, so you got to think
about the kids future and what you're doing affects the kids.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
Yeah, snoop call, I'm young, snoop, don't call because fifty
one snoop call because I'm eighteen. Let's get it without
the dog coming, without dog, with doctor Drake, no reason
even leave the house posted.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
Down hanging on the corner that he didn't get.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
See, the key is surviving. He ain't doing it. It's
surviving it.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
Surviving it. I can't do nothing I put in minds.
I earned my respect facts. You know what I'm saying.
I faced all the bulls now.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Literally, Oh god damn it. Literally, see I gotta keep
my eye. Oh god damn it.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Cause well, I mean, that's that's an interesting, interesting conversation.
That's an interesting conversation because right now the whole thing
is battle you know, battle rap. We didn't see what's
going on with Kendrick and I just but that's why
I sound.

Speaker 6 (14:57):
Like they just need to fight, right But you know,
you got a little ticked off because you know the subject,
just because I wasn't up on it.

Speaker 4 (15:09):

Because now they got the little army involved in this
ship or I don't know what it is, but somebody
pissed them off fact and I'm like this, this.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Thomas.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
No, it wasn't the internet. We was on the h Yeah,
but the fact is that the music came from what
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (15:53):

they was dropping song every mother day, half of a day,

I don't want people fighting and ship you know, especially
the fact that these are both my friends.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
I don't want my friends fighting, but you know they're grown.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
So it's just like, you know, I got a little upset,
but it's like because it's like, you know nothing. I mean,
we're so big in the game. That's why I don't
fool with the social media. It'll make you cheowse size
and motherfuckers say something and you be like, oh they talk,

(17:13):

everybody got Jacoble apologizing he fell out the battles, and then.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I think I respected it, though I didn't like it
for the sport, but I respect it.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
When somebody tells you that spirit is not feeling right,
it's like you can't.

Speaker 6 (19:27):
They told me, you know, the young generation told me
it ain't it ain't you know, it ain't about like
how it was in your days. You know, it's about

He's not aware of it.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Privilege, No privy, it's it's akin to privilege.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
In the heat battle?

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Right in the heat of battle. It's one one common
thing that a lot of people talking about.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Is there anything that's off limits when it comes to that,
and you can go back to in a battle when
y'all was going through stuff like back and forth with
every other people, was it still a line and said, we're.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Not going to cross that line.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
Between battle and war. See battle is like murder, murder
moo can them be doing? And uh was from the
East Coast the tapes that he was putting out the
filming Oh battle.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Battle, Yeah, yeah, that's talking about your mama.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
That's war.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
See what I'm saying, dog pound and boom thugs, that's war.
Corrupt and d MX that's war. That's not a battle.
It's not friendly.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
So if you're gonna talk about people's mama's and ship,
that's not a part of a battle.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
I remember one of the.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Smack of videos because and motherfucker was saying something while
he's rapping though you know he's spinning. The nigga said, man,
I'm spinting my face. And then you know, the nigga
took off one. He said one rap, you know what
this is that, and that's this, this is that and
that's this. Nigga, don't spin my face.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
I said, that's what we're doing now.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
Damn, that's a battle rap, right that turned the war.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
Determine who wins you determined.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
No, it always is the most views nowadays and back
in the days, it was always.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
The crowd's response. Eight Miles gave you everything.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
M is the key to show you the art of battle,
because that's what he lived like I lived when I
was at the Good Life and I went all through California,
I mean all through l A and I hit all
malls and anybody that came in the mall, like the
Hawthorne Mall.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
You came in there, they knew me for cutting off heads.
So they are four pulse.

Speaker 6 (23:10):
And therefore when a motherfucker would come in there, you rapping.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
And ship everybody. Yeah you did, but you can't see corrupt.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
The mall knew me. That voice you got sound like
voice is coming up.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Pop won't talk about.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
The war nowhere near there. I need some hennys. I
ain't got nothing of that.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
But you know it's an interesting battle, you know.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Do you think that? So the crowd response is a
good is a good point.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Uh? Correct?

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Everything is the people.

Speaker 6 (23:46):
It's the people just like the government, because the government
don't run America.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
The people do.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
The president don't run America.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
The people do.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Once we realize that the people will understand that and
then have a better effect. Is they are the representation,
but the representation of who the people. So therefore, in
hip hop, the people are the key, and that's why
hip hop is going this direction.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Hey, that's what the people like.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
The youth.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
Me and dads really ain't into what anybody think.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
We make music. So you know, me, Dad's and Snoop
and us over here because we just make music.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
You like it or you don't like?

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Use that? Who what was that he said to when.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
He you know what my problem with that was, I'm like, Bro,
Snoop is literally at the house with his wife, but
he literally is alive and he at the house, Like,
that's not that's so disrespectful. Like if I was just
put out of raps on and I this is somebody
and I use your voice and.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Your voice like the house, don't use my voice.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
But that's what I'm saying to me. It was just disrespectful.
But then what I didn't like is because I've been
pushing our line so heavily is the fact that there
is culture. Bro, you go get the dra type beat.
You know what I'm saying, Do you use the sooner.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
You know what, Drake is creative And I'll be honest
with you because me and Dad's cause we're rolling with
Kendrick no matter what.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
That's what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 6 (25:26):
And that's what really hurts, because these are both my friends.
Because as much as I wrote with Kendrick, I let
everybody know.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
They say who.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
Your favorite artists, and I'll be honest because Drake is
my favorite artist. You know what I'm saying. I love
his artistry. I love how he mixes it all up.
He could do that with the music and with the
adding these harmonies and ship like that and singing, and

(25:57):
also he's excellent on the mic. I mean, fuck man,
he did unthinkable with Alicia Keys. Come on, cause, I
mean that was epic to.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Me, you know as an artist. Yeah, Drake is the
key to me.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
Now that going up against my number one murderer, because
Kendrick is my murderer. This murders, Okay, he's not the
play with Kendrick cuts you com bits and pieces.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
The Kendrick must have got people fucked. Their name is
K dot my nigga, K like corrupt and he puts
the dot on your head.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Stop playing.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
So it's like, damn one.

Speaker 6 (26:41):
Of my favorite artists and my number one because Kendrick
is my number one cause you understand me.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
So it's like to hear that they get Wait.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Wait, my children usually put me up on things or
dadds dad, they tell me about it to you.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Always let me know.

Speaker 6 (27:05):
I noticed that since we've been doing this DPG ship,
because you ain't too much social media.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
Focused.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Well, every time dads get on social media cost him money?
How bad? Every time dads get on Instagram it'd be
like they go ten thousand, I gotta pay the law
that's fifty thousand, they gotta pay the lawyer.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Want to get on this, get the popperies when I
talk about real.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Estate, yeah, or your or the business moves but opinionated come.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
From das get me if I got to apologize.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
To yeah, So hey, you know what matter of fact,
I don't want to do. I don't from the conversation.
But you gave us a shout out after we did
our one on one our interview with you, you said
the business got straight like that.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
What happened?

Speaker 1 (27:55):
You said, Well, you because you said some people owed
you money and you talked about whole I think not.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Was it jay Z. It was a few people.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
It was a few people.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
He was like, I want my money and he's like,
I got the credit.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
You got your credit. Congratulations, broke gratulations. Glad that. I'm
glad that that went through.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Sure, you know the good shut up, no problems. But
it was all about register got you. It's not registered?
So I registered, came in you know.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Is that your fault then? But not registered?

Speaker 5 (28:28):
I mean it's supposed to be a company.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Got the label ship Okay, got you? That makes sense.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
But you also got to do your follow up.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
That's that's an important lesson too, to make sure people
got they got their business together. That's what Glasses told
me one day one year, I mean one day he
was like, make sure you handle your business or your
business gonna handle you.

Speaker 5 (28:46):

lot of ice. Cue. Don't come out for nothing, bro.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
It was out, Bro, The Cali The Cali Is Active

I don't know if I don't know how to describe it,
but it's one of them records that became like a
cultural Like it's kind of like how you know how
Atlanta got the swag surf shit? Our ship is like that,
Like you just throw that on and everybody knows what

(29:27):
it is and they know what to do and we
and we never have to talk about it, you know
what I'm saying, Like we don't have to have a
discussion about what do we like? When Swagsurf come on,
everybody just know what to do. When Cali's actorly come on,
everybody just kind of know what to do. When y'all
was making that, was that intentional? Did you was that
an energy thing or or else say?

Speaker 5 (29:44):
Or like what like? Did you know what it was?
When you made it?

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Sounds a battle cat shout shot the cat too? Bro,
I had to call them give you his flowers.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
But yeah, we just did it.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
You just did it. You didn't but did you know
what it was?

Speaker 6 (29:57):
No?

Speaker 5 (29:57):
It was just making good music, never doing.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
That's so interesting to hear that when people we have
these classic records, classic records.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
We over here fanning out like, oh my god, it
changed my life or whatever. It was a Tuesday.

Speaker 6 (30:10):
I'll be honest, you know me, you know, I follow
the game. My my thing is the mic. Once I
know the direction, so so I follow.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Dazz and Snoop. So excuse me.

Speaker 6 (30:29):
When Snoop's there, he leaves the parade. When Snoop's not
there and Dazz is there, he leaves there.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
I annihilate.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Hello, that's the target, and that's it.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
So you know, when Cali is active, Dog led the
parade and me and del Mark just rocked it out.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
You know. As soon as Dogs said this the way we're.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Going, my pen goes.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
And then normally our process is whoever is done first,
you go. We don't really trip off of you know, wait,
hold on, this.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Person is gonna first.

Speaker 6 (31:13):
Nobody gets a fucking hey, look boop dads will be

Boo. Okay, are you ready?

Speaker 5 (31:19):
Yep?

Speaker 4 (31:20):
And me and Snooper just keep writing. You know, we
don't really care about the order. The order can be changed.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
This is not nineteen ninety, okay, this is two thousands.
Back in the nineties, it was different. You had to
be in order because you can't just switch it. And
they used to get fired from a song.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Motherfucker just take.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
You off the record or record, so you can't even
come back with a different verse, off the record.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Off the record period. Damn sitting there waiting for the.

Speaker 6 (31:56):
Turn, and you gotta make it so when you make it,
it's an accomplishment that you be like I did that.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Has there been any records that that y'all been fired
from that came out?

Speaker 7 (32:06):
At least?

Speaker 1 (32:08):

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I never got fired, Okay, He's like, for the record,
I want you to let y'all know I ain't never
been fired always.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
It's a competitive environment, you know. You know what's interesting
When we had Daz on the show by itself, I mean,
I'm sorry, when we had Corrupt on the show by itself,
he was talking about man. He's like, man, Dre was
in there making the beach. He's like, I've seen Dads
getting his ship off I'm like, ship, I need I
need to give my getting my Quincy Jones. He's like,
he was like, I need drums, you need a bass.

(32:49):
Like he started to be.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
To me put it together like this said boo. You
know it's always like he told me about the business.
The business.

Speaker 6 (33:07):
Then he was like, okay, you need to start producing.
And then that's when I was like yeah, yeah, and
then he was like, okay, so you know how to
make the beat, you know how to work this way here? No,
he said, good, you don't need to. You get somebody
that makes the drums. You get somebody that could play
the keys, and you tell them what to play.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
But learn it though. If you learn it, you get
hold of them.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
What is wrong without the game? Why you why you corrupt?

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Corrupt?

Speaker 1 (33:35):
You know what I'm saying, Like why barked out?

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Well, the first record I made that wasn't alone Nate Dog?

Speaker 4 (33:45):
And then they said corrupt.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Yeah the verse on there. I said, no, Nate, I'm
a producer. Okay, I'm doctor dre Now. Yeah, we need
to get snook on here because.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Nothing bigger than two one three, right, So we didn't
get snoop on here.

Speaker 6 (34:04):
You and Dog trust me lad. He was like, you right,
and ny call snoop cause I couldn't get dog.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
He was all over the place. But if nay call, oh,
dog won't cook it.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
Now dog came.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Through cuts, Boom boom. Superfly added them keys on it.
Oh my god, I said, oh, this is it. Me
and Superfly mixed that motherfucker to a T and I
learned about mixing.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Wait wait, wait, so y'all mixed it.

Speaker 5 (34:29):
Hell yeah, I didn't know that. I knew you.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Didn't tell us you mixed it.

Speaker 6 (34:34):
That's Superfly, you know. Superfly was showing me the ropes.
He was like, boope, and then I did the cuts.
I was like, cut here, put the guitar back here
cause you just hit the button cause they record how
you hit the boot and then put take it out
cause you do an instrument by instruments. See back then,
you did instrument by instrument, each one of them. You
would go through the whole song, put it in, and

(34:58):
then figure out when you want to put it out,
and keep on going.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
It's a rhythm. Eight bars is normally how it works,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
And then you just keep going and throw it in
and then throw it out and next thing, you know,
because they're recording as you go, so they record.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
The drops, writing out of writing all the writing. That part.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
That it's your motivation to produce. Always been about making
fifty percent of the record the money.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
No, I just found out about the fifty percent. But
then all that was just enthused. You know, I just
love making music. I grew up making music. You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (35:37):
You love making music. That's why he was like, come
on cool. After he them broke into the studio. The
break in the studio, What does that look like?

Speaker 5 (35:46):
What doctor? You know what I'm saying, what a bar like?
You know, you know, just going there? He hot elevator.
They got the buttons like this. I took the whole thing,
got a piece of flour. You hit the bam that
mother fucker. Go up to the second floor. We need

the back off of it, take the back of the thing,
put a piece of.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
You talking about you.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
I hear what he said into the studio seven times
he invited me on the eggs.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
You have your own sessions.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
Off of Franklin because we were Franklin when we made
the Dog Pound. We we called dog House the dog
Pound because that's when the dog.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
One bad room apart about six niggas.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 6 (36:40):
And then Dad just woke me up and come on,
We're going to the studio take over. I was like, okay,
cool boom. I thought he had the hook up.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
I thought we was you know, we.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
Get there because like hold on, he just little school back,
you hit it bag and I'm looking like whoa and no, bam,

until like one two in the morning.

Speaker 5 (37:09):
Motherfucker.

Speaker 6 (37:09):
Ain't nobody in the studio busting that motherfucker Because we
come in and and then we go in, cousin, we
got the studio all to ourselves.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
He's like, I just walking in. The lights just shine
like damn, not your lights though, bro lights the lights
on the board and ship.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
You know I'm not there for you though you broke.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
Let's start breaking it in just because no, no, no, no,
this this is the record company's studio.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
We we go in.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Okay, we got rights because we're the arttist.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
All we gotta do is figure.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Out to get in and do what we gotta do.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
What song was recorded in one of these?

Speaker 5 (37:52):
The song was every single.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
Day, right damn, every single day, every single day, bitch.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Is on my So look, let me ask you a
question because I know a lot of people who are
probably gonna hear this don't understand how the music industry works.
I know, when you're signed to a label that doesn't
give you access twenty four to seven to the facility, right,
so if you want to record there, gives us access.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
What I'm talking about, this was.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
Definitely I suggest somebody if you want to trade this
n w A.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Did y'all tell anybody that y'all that y'all was doing this.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
I'm gonna show you how to get in.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Yeah, I mean, you know we Delmar gave Dog the game.

Speaker 6 (38:33):
The dog didn't even know that we could go there
after hours, you know, dads, Like I said, he did
it seven times before he invited me for the eighth.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
Then he told Snoop about probably the twelfth time. And
then Dog was like, for how.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
You get all your information? You gotta then you take
the trash out, let me do this out here. You
just go around and see what's going right here. You
ain't got a dance that's crazy, So put the little
piece of paper in between the door. In a long time,

(39:07):
we got to pay.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
What I love hearing from that is to hear the
passion behind wanted to do what you do. It's like
if you really, if you really want this, there are
no excuses and just what you exhibited is what you
just did. And then putting putting the homies on the
game to record and make it happen. It just shows
that passion that you were talking.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
And we was walking through the streets two am leaving Franklin,
coming down the street which is like three blocks, ain't it?

Speaker 5 (39:38):
To Popeyes? And then to so On. Yeah, they had
a magazine stand. Remember the magazines be upself, me and dad.

Speaker 6 (39:50):
This name got the crip ragging in the pocket, left pocket.
Like so anything could happen. You know what I'm saying,
Holly weird is weird. So you know a lot of games.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
Get there, cousin, you know Delmar break in cousin.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
We we broke in the studio one time and then
we see that, uh well the video right there across
and we're just looking, we just watching, like then then
I know the song come out and said damn, we
was watching that it was there, y'all never got caught. No,
they didn't have cameras at the studio, like I didn't

(40:26):
have none on the study.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
You know.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
It was just so.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
But but I'm saying, okay, so look, just hear me out.
When you take the elevator up, there's no door that
you gotta pick or he just talked.

Speaker 5 (40:37):
Oh he was okay the elevator.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
The elevator open, mapped out, it's ours.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
You gotta have a key to get up there.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
But I'm just whoever thought that dash a hot wire elevator?

Speaker 5 (40:49):
You know, because I used to take motors out of
the little car remote control cars and hook him up
batteries and stuff and stuff. So I knew about negative positive.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Since then, have you tried the hot wire or other?

Speaker 5 (40:59):
Uh? I mean I do construction stuff, you know, I
do elect you working on that. I know, take a
sealing fan out, put a ceiling fan in, put some
tell we get shot a couple of times. Money how
many time you put that battery to your tongue?

Speaker 4 (41:12):
Death ro We have no money?

Speaker 6 (41:14):
When he was on death bro Yeah, out figure it out,
figuring out man. We would wake up in the morning because.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Hit two eleven on the old home were come with
the weed. We ain't have to put no numbers in there.
We just put eleven seven. We the market, the little
little style. I got the food stamps. So he go
in the front like he buying something, and we're always
eggs and baking and ship and just run up out
of there. Put that allegedly run out of there. We

(41:44):
walked out of there.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
That's why we hit it every motherfucking the other morning,
you got.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
So how long how long would how long had y'all
been doing this or living this way before you actually
started to make money on the label?

Speaker 5 (41:58):
Probably Chill Dog is trying to dog like I said,
everybody knew our voice, but the didn't know our face.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Damn. So from when from between Chronic and Doggie Style,
that's when y'all was running it up.

Speaker 5 (42:11):
And then so we did Doggie Dog World. That was
till then. Yeah, we used to go to the club.
They wouldn't let us in, but they banging our ship.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
Snoop was the first one because Chronic was out. We
went to the club, remember.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
That the.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Thing outside on the inside dogs like yeah, it was
like yeah like Snoop Dog, It was like yeah, right,
that's my song, y'all playing in there.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
They was like, you remember that club that used to
have them. Remember that club used to have one of
the Beverly Centema. What was the name of that club?

Speaker 4 (42:52):
You don't remember that club? The Beverly Center mall? We
by that, uh buy that restaurant with that nigga got
robbed on the said nigga took his ship.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
Had a club, and then I came and said, that's
the nigga the niggas song.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
So once once everything hit you said dog you said
Doggy Doggy dog World. Wait, which one did you say?
Y'all started making money.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
We started making money before then because after the chronic,
it's weird.

Speaker 5 (43:22):
This was ingenius.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
Gotta be it's a genius because we could have went
anywhere we wanted.

Speaker 4 (43:27):
But only people signed during the chronic.

Speaker 6 (43:32):
Was Snoopy and Rage and everybody else besides me Dadd's
rb X.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (43:42):
We wasn't we wasn't sign right. So it was like a.

Speaker 6 (43:47):
Test mm hmm to see who people liked. If they
liked you, you get your contract. If you didn't make it,
you know, people didn't.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Like you, you know, go wherever you want.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
So the climate comes out. It's a success, complete success.

Speaker 6 (44:06):
Right then we could have just went anywhere like damn,
because we only you can't take it back?

Speaker 1 (44:12):

So you paid rent, you bought a whole bunch of bullshit.

Speaker 6 (46:11):

I still had some cool cheese in my pocket. Right,
So then I go back to Hawthorne with my family
and I'm.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
Like, yeah, yeah, but we was making money though, because.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
I did lace the trucks in my family though.

Speaker 5 (46:33):
You know when Doctor J Snoop Dogg and that's we

you know how much cross colored ship we had. We

Speaker 5 (46:46):
So look always always got you go to the wear,
We go to the werehouse. That's when they had to
wear house. We come back with boxes, the whole house
full of clothes.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
What's I mean to be fair? Y'all did better things
with y'all money than than fifty said he did.

Speaker 5 (47:04):
With his money. You know what I'm saying. He what

Speaker 5 (47:14):
The flipped money of five, fifty said, yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
He did better than we did.

Speaker 1 (47:17):

his money pay back in fact by because he said
he didn't know it was gonna work out, Like he
was like, I don't know what's gonna come from this
rap shit, but I know how to go do this
right right, So when y'all when y'all now y'all making
money and stuff like that, and y'all doing these shows
and whatnot, Like, when did it? When did y'all feel

(47:38):
like I guess together or individually like okay, people didn't
know your face? When did you feel like, okay, we've
arrived though corrupt dash the dog pant, like we're here.
When did you was that when doggy style.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
Came or.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
You started in the videos.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
At that point people recognize the face.

Speaker 5 (47:54):
The first video that we did with Doctor Dre was
puffing on blunts and tan but ray. That was just
a little previous that and we just didn't get premiered.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
That wasn't like really.

Speaker 6 (48:09):
I think for me and you, Dad was the what's
my name video shoot? But wait, yeah, what's my main
video shoot? Because we was in there so friends and family,
I knew, like, oh they can see damn war, Oh
that's rick. They could see us in it, because I
said at the end, and that was so special to me.

(48:31):
I said, I'm about to be a star?

Speaker 5 (48:33):
What's your name?

Speaker 4 (48:35):
For it?

Speaker 6 (48:36):
Because Doctor Dre when we was in the studio Boom
and he got to that part they working on the
radio version, and he just stopped and they looked around
the studio and he looked at me. Cor up going
there and filling that gap and don't cut Really, I said, okay,
so I had to be creative, you know, Oh you

(48:56):
came up with that.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
Yeah, they ain't tell me what I said, Okay, what's
I didn't even know that. What's my mother?

Speaker 5 (49:01):
What's your mother?

Speaker 4 (49:02):
I said, what's my Motherfucking name, so boop. I went
in there, damn.

Speaker 6 (49:06):
And then one take Jacobs with doctor Dre used to
call it. That's when you just do it on the
first take.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Cause so you said, so you going there and you're
thinking for a minute, or he turned on you.

Speaker 6 (49:15):
Just free say, I'm thinking. I'm thinking as I'm walking
to the motherfucker booth. You understand me, doctor dra cut
or you won't make it in there.

Speaker 5 (49:26):
As I'm walking, I'm thinking.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
And then go in there. So much pressure, so much pressure.
And then I walk in that motherfucker come boop.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
I said, all right, let's go.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
They played that motherfucker and I said, what's your name for?

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Snoop?

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Perfect time, yo. I never knew that.

Speaker 5 (49:50):
I thought I thought that your name.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
I thought Dre told you to say that.

Speaker 5 (49:54):
No, I just went And.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
That's what we always do, is like freestyling. That's what
made us so special kinds. There was no.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
Like, no script.

Speaker 6 (50:05):
They just let us be who we were. You know,
Dog was the one who basically wrote the script of
this is the direction. Is once we know the direction,
we could do just do what we want. We're free,
you know what I'm saying. And if there's some dog sees,
it'll be like, oh, okay, say it like this though, like,
bitches ain't shit.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
That was my verse.

Speaker 6 (50:28):
I started my verse bitches ain't shit, but I did
the verse was like that, that was my verse. And
then doctor Dre was like going to lay that as
a hook. And when I was laying it, the dog
changed in the bitches ain't shit but holes and tricks
liquor on these nuts and sucked that they get the
fuck out after you done. Then and he was like,

(50:48):
who do it like this coruct and he changed the
rhythm of done. Then the hops in my cook to
make up with run.

Speaker 4 (50:59):
I was like, oh bam, and it was over. So
you know what I'm saying. So that's what we do.
You know, we feed off of each other, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
And the champers the captain.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
So once the champ if he said you're in, you're in.

Speaker 5 (51:14):
You're five.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
But you gotta be ready.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
You gotta be ready. If you wasn't ready, you to
get fired from the.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
Record, you're always ready.

Speaker 6 (51:21):
Doctor doctor Dre' is a different animal, okay, because well
we like sometimes Dtor Dre don't like, you know, Dodor
Dre be like yeah, I like that.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
I want you to say.

Speaker 5 (51:32):
Ship like this ship Oh literally like that, yes.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
With four four h is not five yeah.

Speaker 7 (51:43):
Bomb.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
He just wants you to do ship over and then
it'll be like, excellent, all right, redo.

Speaker 5 (51:48):
The whole thing.

Speaker 6 (51:49):
Uh take him from the top, like whoa, whoa, whoa,
Doctor Dre this is everything is great.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
I just do the ship No, no, no, you can
do it better take it from the top. It's like, oh, we.

Speaker 7 (52:00):
Should always do it.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
But what did that all the process?

Speaker 4 (52:05):
Oh? Man, you know this, this it's called perfection. You
know what I'm saying. Observer wanted to be right. You
know what I'm saying. Never get mad, you don't want.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
To get fired.

Speaker 9 (52:18):
I think most artists today don't know that they should
be produced. Like that's the key is that are you
being produced or or somebody just giving you a beat
and you writing a song, you giving it back?

Speaker 7 (52:32):
Like we we believe in producing.

Speaker 9 (52:34):
So when we all together, we're producing each other. That's
what he's saying, is that we produce each other. It's
never nobody's bigger than nobody's. But when we was in
the presence of doctor Dred, whenever we're in the presence
of him.

Speaker 7 (52:47):
He produces us. So when we alone and doing our
own ship, we.

Speaker 9 (52:50):
Try to produce each other to make sure that we
at that level that we was on when we was
with him, because that's our introduction.

Speaker 7 (52:56):
You always try to get well. You was always at you.

Speaker 9 (52:59):
Know, the first time that you heard this artist. You
want to feel like that every time you hear that artist.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Yeah, that's a fact. Do you think that? But do
you think that when you said that a lot of
artists aren't being produced, I personally think that's what's missing
from a lot of the music too, as well as
the camaraderie, like getting in the studio like that, with energy,
how y'alloud get to well, he would break into the studio,
but then y'all would get together and collectively, Like I
when I'm listening to the dog because we just talk

(53:26):
about doggy style. When I'm listening to a doggy style,
I can feel the energy of all of y'all collaborating
in the room through the music.

Speaker 9 (53:33):
We lived together. We all lived together, We hung together.
The studio was like a safe haven. We had just
finished the Chronic album and the next thing was my record,
and it was like the same people that did the
Chronic album was gearing up for my record, but it
didn't feel like my record did feel like our record
because it was the same spirit, and nobody on our
team had ever put a soul on record out, so

(53:55):
we didn't know that feeling. We just know that Drey
was the star and now he was issue in snoop
to be the next one up. But if you listen
to the record, the homies voices is all through that.

Speaker 5 (54:08):
And you can hear that though.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
The other thing is the mixing. I remember Shout to
my Boy Ali mixed by A Lee. I host this
panels for the Nam Show every year and we talk
about mixing and everybody who who's in the in the
engine as an engineer, mixing engineer, they always ask me,
what's the perfect album listen to. I'm like, bro, go
listen to Doggy Style. That's the album, that's the sets
the president for the album that you should listen to

(54:31):
when you go to mix a record, because it's so much,
it's so many instruments, it's so much instrumentation, it's so
many voices. It's it's like ship that's paying to the
left where it's it's like, oh, that's just atmosphere or
that's just a car, or like, it's just so many
different things like that that I always want to get
your perspective on, I guess. But from a mixing standpoint,
is that something that you feel the same way.

Speaker 9 (54:53):
I mean, to me, that's like a classic movie that
will never be able to have a part to. And
what you try to do is take that actor and
put him in movies that can give you that feeling.
So in the process of you know, doing what I do,
I try to like keep the spirit of who's the
greatest producers I ever worked with it see Dre for real,

(55:15):
whoever it is. I always try to take their spirit
with me when I'm not with them, and then when
I'm with them, I go into being produced mode and
being able to you know, fall into the seat of
not being in control. And I think that that Doggy
Style album is what taught me that because I was
produced on that album.

Speaker 7 (55:33):
The whole way I was produced.

Speaker 9 (55:35):
Even if it was a song that our freestyle or
whatever it was, it still was produced. It wasn't just
say what the fuck you wanna say and that put
this out. It was produced. It was like calculated everything
that I said and did doctor Drake knew me. He
started to know me. Me and him start to hang out.
So if he started to learn me, he knew that
I liked the Mac, he knew I loved Superflower.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Yeah, you know, I love It's personal.

Speaker 7 (55:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (55:58):
So it's like he can then go all of that
into the project and then all my family is with me,
so we got to have them in there and their
voices in there, and then we want to.

Speaker 7 (56:07):
Have some funny shit that we want to have some
serious shit. So it's like it's just who we are.
We making a movie.

Speaker 9 (56:12):
Basically, those records, the first three records on Death Row
was movies, not records.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
In fact, cinematic classics too. Go ahead, So how do
we bring this full circle back?

Speaker 3 (56:25):
Because from what I've seen and heard so far from
the roll out, and I know the album is gonna
be phenomenal, how does that feel like putting this together?

Speaker 5 (56:34):
Coming back?

Speaker 2 (56:34):
You know, three decades later.

Speaker 7 (56:36):
I'm gonna tell you how here how to speak for everybody.

Speaker 9 (56:38):
But when I first ball death Row, I know it
fucked everybody up because it wasn't a good feeling.

Speaker 7 (56:44):
Deathfrow didn't have a good feeling in everybody's mouth.

Speaker 9 (56:46):
As far as what we did and the work we
put in, so I know it kind of rub people
the wrong way, but my mission was to clean it up.
You get everybody back in position and just help everybody
do the shit.

Speaker 7 (56:58):
That we was meant to do when Death Row was created.

Speaker 9 (57:01):
So once I got it, it took me about a
year and a half to clean that shit up and
make it respectable to what people would smile and shake
hands when they see Death Row, and you know, all
sorts of people could always represent it and not feel
like they're gonna get beat up, but none of.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
That shit.

Speaker 7 (57:16):
Out of the equation. And then the next.

Speaker 9 (57:18):
Step was bringing the family back, like the original members
that were still here that's still alive, whether it's DAZZ, corrupt, rage, RBX,
you know the people that the foundation to this ship
when we.

Speaker 7 (57:30):
Started, and they all in good health, good spirits.

Speaker 9 (57:33):
So my job as the leader and the owner of
Death Row is to go get everybody, to put everybody
back in position and do things for them to show
them that this is the way it should have been done.

Speaker 7 (57:43):
We're not gonna worry about what we can't fix.

Speaker 9 (57:46):
We still hear God give them us opportunity to keep
doing what we do, and if we stay true to
what we do, people are gonna love it, they gonna
enjoy it, and we're gonna.

Speaker 7 (57:53):
Still be able to be who we are, like who
we are.

Speaker 9 (57:56):
Like individually, not collectively, but individually. That's what made us dope,
is that everybody brought something to the team. And now
we get a chance to set the table again and
let everybody breaks.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
Up at the change with this release to like, I
think it's full circle. But like you said, like when you, well,
I I have a I got to disagree with you.
When you first bought death Row, I celebrated like I
bought it.

Speaker 5 (58:18):
Just to keep it.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
I mean, but you know what I be on, Like
I'm on some West coast. I'm on the West coast.
So when you bought it, I celebrated like I own
the piece of got death from.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
I'm like, yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Literally said, we we got you know, we're back, right,
But I just I appreciate that because it's legacy too.
And I know that you know, even not even not
even just a dog pounds as a unit. But like
I think, collectively, the way we move, we plan for
legacy on this side, and it's more than just like

(58:52):
like a bag like corrupt just talked about earlier, Like
it's it's an energy, it's an aura, like it's a
it's a feel, it's family. It ain't about the bag
and all.

Speaker 7 (58:59):
That kind of But with the dog found to me,
you can't take away their legacy.

Speaker 9 (59:04):
Their legacy is see many in fact, with what you're
gonna put on top of it, that's what this is.
Just like my legacy is see many, But I stay
putting shit on top of you do so you can't
never forget about it. Sometimes you lose doggy style, you'll
be like man he did, Man I was thirty years ago.

Speaker 7 (59:19):
That's where I want them back at.

Speaker 5 (59:21):
This is my nigga.

Speaker 9 (59:21):
That's my blood cousin. This is my blood cousin right here,
so my crap cousin. So on some real shit like
this is when I'm at my best. It's one of
my niggas is with me. You know what I'm saying,
because they make me better. They probably think I make
them better, but they make me better and that makes
us all better. Because that's what made Death Broke Over.

(59:42):
In the beginning, it was always competition, so only three
verses on the song and it's six rappers in the room.
They were talking, let everybody go so and you don't
want to go fast, you just want to go right,
you know what I'm saying. That's why if you notice
every song don't have this, every song is a different
motherfucker starting it off.

Speaker 7 (01:00:01):
It's never three songs. But even it Doctor Dre album,
some of them songs he don't even start off by himself.
Some of the songs on my own Doggy.

Speaker 9 (01:00:08):
Steff, this nigga go first, so he go first. So
it's like, this is how it's set up. It's set
up for all of us to be involved. And I'm
trying to keep that shit rolling because I feel like
I got a buzz right now, Like I got the
feeling like producing R and B shit, hip hop shit.

Speaker 7 (01:00:25):
But death Prop was missing this.

Speaker 9 (01:00:27):
It was missing the original groups and the original members
that the Legacy Acts. And then Corrupt got a thirtyth anniversary,
but you know, Corruption, and then they got a thirtyth
university for dog Pound next year, and then Dad's got
an anniversary for Revenge Retaliation, and.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
We just did thirty years of Doggy Style.

Speaker 7 (01:00:47):
But I'm just looking at all these thirty twenty twenty five.
So it's like it makes sense.

Speaker 9 (01:00:51):
Now put all that shit back in equation, make some
new shit, and make that old shit.

Speaker 7 (01:00:55):
Go start touring again. Dog pound prices is going.

Speaker 9 (01:00:59):
Up to by the ways with that little paint of
money the fuck out here.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
Yeah, new money, no more cafeteria than child, no money.

Speaker 5 (01:01:09):
With new money.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
What I appreciate about it, though, is hearing the growth.

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):
Yeah, what I mean, you know he heard it growing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
You mentioned, you mentioned how the dog calls you, that
you come.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
Back turn turn eighteen, you call eighteen again, but you
still hear the thing that you still hear the grown
up aspect of it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
And that's what I appreciate it, because it's not Yeah,
it's still the young energy.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Until a dog called. Because I'm fifty one years old.

Speaker 6 (01:01:33):
Man, i'mna with my wife and kids and grandchildren watch order.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
And you said that from I'm not the standpoint. I
love hearing that.

Speaker 7 (01:01:43):
They would never would never say that if they're not
produced to your point.

Speaker 9 (01:01:48):
God, you know what I'm saying. You got to be
produced to know that. People want to hear y'all say this, right.
They want to see y'all say that y'all wrong because
you are like your fans. Some of your fans are
sixty years old, some of them seventy years old. Some
niggas bought these right right, So you got to think
about the whole dynamic of everything. You want to show
them as well that you've grown the youngsters, because some

(01:02:10):
of them think that it's cool to keep it g
But we're showing you that you want to grow up too,
So that got to have a cut off day too.

Speaker 6 (01:02:18):
And old is the new new, it really is, you
understand me. That's the whole thing about this project. We
all we got old is the new new man. We
love our age were fresh, you know what I'm saying
ourselves because we were taking care of our grown folks.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
Shit, I look at it like a blessing because a
lot like I always tell my young homies, I'm like, bro,
a lot of the homies ain't making to this age
like And you know, I look at it as many
years as I can get here. I'm trying to extend
it as long as possible.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
I tell people all the time. Many I said, Man,
I'm just I'm just.

Speaker 6 (01:02:55):
Getting old, but I'm still here because it's an accomplishment
for me to be at this age. You understand me
to make it to this age after all we've been
through in our lives and all the different things that
we had to deal with, uh to get out of situations.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
Man, Dog was in the trenches. Because you understand me.

Speaker 6 (01:03:18):
You could never think, knowing him as a youth, that
he would be the biggest artist out there in the.

Speaker 4 (01:03:28):
World, right, because that's what it is.

Speaker 5 (01:03:31):
It's you understand me.

Speaker 6 (01:03:33):
I only think bigger than Dog and Michael Jackson and
Prince I would.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
I mean, I don't want to be disrespectful, but I
get it that.

Speaker 5 (01:03:41):
Yeah, I'm just being I'm being honest. But the dog
up there with Mickey Mouse, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Yeah, No, I'm gonna tell you. I'm gont me tell
you something.

Speaker 5 (01:03:58):
I want to say this.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
I want to say this public game because I said
this to that, I said, but I want to say
this public. There is no other artists or rapper that's
bigger than Snoop Dogg because Snoop Dogg transcends music. Snoop
Dogg transcends entertainment. Snoop Dogg is the biggest to ever

(01:04:22):
come from this ship and that nigga is from the
West coast, nigga, what come.

Speaker 7 (01:04:26):
On now, we don't need you.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
Hours.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
I'm just saying because it's full of song for me, man,
because literally my first purchase, you know, we're at what
five or six years, I went to Rody and Swabi
and got Dred the single on a cassette.

Speaker 5 (01:04:50):
And now my son is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Five and he knows lyrics to Doggy Style.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
I mean that's my parenting skills, right. So for me
it's support and his wife can see walk and my
wife and son.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
But it's an amazing thing in real time, man from
Long Beach.

Speaker 9 (01:05:13):
What you want to do, it is the feeling, right,
A lot of times people trying to ask me what
is it about me?

Speaker 7 (01:05:19):
It's the feeling I give you. It ain't the music,
it ain't the sound. It's the way you feel, like
the presence of being around us and seeing us.

Speaker 9 (01:05:27):
Like when we put the smoke up out it was
a little bit of nobody knew what was hating, so
it dropped. So I just checked it the right on.
You know, I got tenners out there and the ship
I'm getting back.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
The most was I'm.

Speaker 7 (01:05:41):
Happy to see y'all the gun facts that ship.

Speaker 9 (01:05:43):
Feel good to see y'all the gap like it feel good.
I'm happy to see y'all like that is a feeling.
The sound is definitely there, It's what it's supposed to be.
But the look to see these niggas happy to see
us together, to see us doing what we do and
still able to do what at the age that we
had still represent the West Man.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
Listen, well, you know what I represent. You know what
I mean, you know what I'll be pushing. I was
out here taking on the phase all week, so I'm
in the street. I'm out here taking the phase in
the street. Bro, you know what I'm saying. And but anyway,
I won't even get into that. But to me, what
no To me, I feel like one of them things

(01:06:25):
like you said, like y'all back together, y'all putting this
album out. I was a part of the bullshit because
I sent the video in and you know, I heard
the dog pound broke. We talked about it earlier. You know,
I thought I need that. I thought you you believed it.

Speaker 7 (01:06:37):
You was with the bullshit.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
And everything, and I was like, but but you know,
and then another thing, too, is when people don't know
what to believe. And so again when people heard the
AI ship and you wouldn't you, like, bro, what's going on?

Speaker 5 (01:06:55):
Like, what the fuck is?

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
I was like, I'm gonna be honest with you, Dog,
I was. I was disrespected because I'm like, no, no, no,
listen though, dog just hear me out. I felt disrespected
because I'm like, Dog is literally at the house with
his wife at like Homie goone, like we can't. That's
between him and his attorneys and all that Dog got
the house. Dog got on slides you. I'm saying, Dog

(01:07:20):
probably eating some barbecue. He chilling out of his own
goddamn business.

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
I was eating and and and now he on this
and now.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
He's on this bullshit record and people don't know what
to believe.

Speaker 5 (01:07:30):
And I'm like, how can you do it?

Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
Man?

Speaker 6 (01:07:34):
Asked me some real motherfucking questions. Shut the fuck up, brother,
question how I heard you? Five hours later, I was
giving me.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
What the fuck?

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
All day, all night?

Speaker 5 (01:07:52):
What the fuck?

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
I just to me, that's that's crazy, you know what
I'm saying. And so I always wanted to know your
take on it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
But that's hilarious.

Speaker 9 (01:08:02):
You know, I ain't really got no tape or another
that up. My take is a dog pand album be
All May thirty first. Absolutely, you know we're about peace,
no no disrespect. Hip hop was built on battling, respected back,
but we on peace. Hip hop was built on piece
as well. So we on peace, love, unity, bringing our
family back together, you know, showing up fuckers with the
West Coast really look like.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
And that last song on the album y'all was on
some hip hop shop, the DJ premiere. Yeah, but that
last song, oh no act like this on the West
k rap though my.

Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
Crew get do.

Speaker 10 (01:08:36):
Try to get through them to get to me, and
I doubt you're getting past that. Yeah, So I like
I like the lyrical exercise on that last track. What
I told you what what I told you said when
dog call you turning eighteen and.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
I also told you dogs say there is.

Speaker 1 (01:08:51):
Get battle that happens.

Speaker 7 (01:08:54):
That was that I got hired hit men and women allegedly.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
Right here.

Speaker 7 (01:09:02):
He would serve anybody rb X and rage woman.

Speaker 4 (01:09:06):
Never getting past it, never see any getting So.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
So with that, with that being said, that last track
on the hour, the reason why, because as brought the
hip hop ship was did anybody go back in and
rewrite this ship if they heard.

Speaker 9 (01:09:18):
Somebody else The last person to wrap was rage. Really,
the first person to rap was I think it was corrupt.
Corrupt went first, and rb X was down the hall
doing his ship, and I heard this ship. I was like,
let me put a couple of backlunds on it and
bringing in the big studio and clean it up, because
I didn't like the way his ship sounded, the tone

(01:09:38):
of what he was signing. But then when I brought
him the big stud that, I'm like, okay, he's rb X.

Speaker 5 (01:09:41):
His fery's on the right.

Speaker 7 (01:09:43):
Then Dads went in his ship his energy who the
horders that nigga went all the way up to a
whole other level. Always got that I gotta I gotta here,
I gotta come behind all this ship. Let me stay
at pocket. I'm just going I'm not gonna go home.

Speaker 5 (01:09:57):
At one point you said you can't do nigga.

Speaker 7 (01:10:00):
You know what I'm saying, humbling, But that was recorded.

Speaker 4 (01:10:06):
That was probably recorded before.

Speaker 7 (01:10:09):
Ye be humble, right, that's what I meant.

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
Hey look at first, Hey, look he look at first.

Speaker 6 (01:10:18):
So dog like, yeah, y'all going about this right here, Yes,
it's gonna be all with y'all. Dog wasn't getting on there.
And then as we started busting, Dog was like, fuck, I.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
Gotta get on this.

Speaker 5 (01:10:32):
You know what I respect.

Speaker 9 (01:10:33):
Myra got it last rade. She heard everybody ship and
then she busted. She said it to me and I
was like, that ship hard.

Speaker 7 (01:10:41):
She's like, but I gotta go in and do it again,
and I'm like, god damn. And she went and did
it again. And this time when it came out, that
mother fucking wow, all that ship on it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Yeah, the animation and all character. Yeah, you know what
I respect about you though, correct, you ain't afraid to
go first ever.

Speaker 9 (01:10:59):
I know I know that, But I'm just saying these
niggas they will jump off on it. Going with the
East Siders, Yeah, check this. Trady had his whole verse
rope and watching the boxing match. It's a boxing match
going on with Garcia and hey, hey he's standing up
watching it. What his phone is in the boot over there?
Dadd sitting in the corner. It's the sixth round. Trady

(01:11:21):
still ain't winning. Seventh round, Nigga dash and win the boot.

Speaker 7 (01:11:27):
Loaded up like, I ain't wait, Nigga, I'm going Nigga
get off.

Speaker 6 (01:11:36):
That's how that's how we get our greatest work though,
you know It's like I was telling you earlier, It's like,
you know, it's a feeling cause you know, a nigga
be in there right and doing his thing, and then
somebody just said, all right, okay, you ready poop and
you just let him go, and it just sets the tone,
you know. You know, think about doctor Drake because he

(01:11:56):
taught us ethics. Him and Tupac taught us ethics. Really, yeah,
you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Ethics in what ways for.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
Doctor Drace's perfection made us understand you.

Speaker 7 (01:12:07):
Know quality tupe.

Speaker 5 (01:12:10):
Oh yeah, Man, come.

Speaker 4 (01:12:11):
On y'all in the studios just working on one record.
What the fuck y'all doing up in here?

Speaker 6 (01:12:19):
This niggas knocked down five motherfucking records because.

Speaker 7 (01:12:22):
All his homies is on every other song. He got
niggas involved game, stole niggas out of my studio and
put him on his That nigga, but he showed us
how to like.

Speaker 9 (01:12:31):
Maximize the studio because we were so used to just
making a record.

Speaker 7 (01:12:35):
Calls some bitches over and let them hear bitches over,
let them hear this ship bang. The bitches like it.

Speaker 9 (01:12:42):
That nigga, Like, man, fuck that that niggas supposed to
be making five songs today. He was by the ship.
That's what I love about that nigga. That nigga he
was gonna tell you he hadn't had no no biting
his tongue. That niggas say what the fuck you feel?
Like he's say what the feel But it's time. We
all was the same age, so it was never like

(01:13:02):
nobody punking. Nobody's just like we're trying to make each
other better. So it's like when he worked with Dads,
him and Dad's had their own relationship when he fucker
grew up and grew up, had their own relationship when he.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
Fuck with me.

Speaker 9 (01:13:12):
Everybody had their own separate relationship with Bob, but at
at the same time, collectively, we had a group relationship
with them when we would all be together, but we fucked.

Speaker 7 (01:13:22):
With him individually. Like that's how Dad's was.

Speaker 9 (01:13:24):
Able to get all that goddamn music done that or
something to start that album off and had that shit
bang like that. That's cousin him being like this without
us being there.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
Now, who was the one that's the main one in
the studio saying like, nah, you got to redo that,
like you gotta come harder.

Speaker 5 (01:13:42):
Than that. Everybody. Yeah, they have to do that.

Speaker 9 (01:13:46):
You know, we listened to We got real honest ears
like and as a rapper, you know, like Nigga, my
ship ain't up to part and I may need to
fix my ship.

Speaker 7 (01:13:55):
But we never had that whenever Nigga got on. That's
that's some crazy shit.

Speaker 6 (01:13:59):
It never was because when you laying when you laying
it right. First of all, we never laid ship without
us all being there.

Speaker 4 (01:14:08):
So when we all there and you laying your ship,
dog would be like hit the button. All right, okay, no,
uh take that part out.

Speaker 7 (01:14:19):
Let me see. But that's what I learned from DC.

Speaker 6 (01:14:22):
Okay, say it like this, though, say this instead of that,
Like there was one line on the New Dog Pound album.

Speaker 4 (01:14:28):
I said something because it was just like.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Non say that. They took those words away from us
and put.

Speaker 11 (01:14:37):
It in both holes, you know, take control. Look say
it like this, put it in yeah, you know it
was serious.

Speaker 5 (01:14:53):
Put it in.

Speaker 4 (01:14:58):
Stop okay, stop, wait, hold on, wait, hold on.

Speaker 6 (01:15:06):
Then all came up with the words and he said,
all right, corrupts, say say this. I said, okay, good,
got it, wrote it in my phone. Why And it's
just like, you know, that's what we do because we fans.

Speaker 7 (01:15:18):
Of each other, so we know what we supposed to
sound like when we're in our best.

Speaker 5 (01:15:22):
That's just that.

Speaker 9 (01:15:22):
So it's like everybody and our cool fans of each other.
We like love each other's songs. We love each other
versus like you gotta peep that out when we perform
and how we engage with each other ship. It's a
love for the fact that this nigga can rap. This
nigga got so much energy on the song, like that
shit makes it all come together. When I was performing
without the niggas, I'm gonna be honest with you, my

(01:15:44):
shit just didn't feel the way it was supposed to feel. Yeah,
I was selling out doing this and doing that, but
the feeling wasn't there, Like you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (01:15:52):
So now for like the feeling is dead.

Speaker 9 (01:15:54):
We fin hit the role, were going to Canada do
some days. They got a whole new makeover on their show.
Every thing just feel good now, like you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:16:02):
Like when we performing and stuff, we all communicate our contact.

Speaker 9 (01:16:07):
Yeah, that's that's a that's a real thing. We don't
never be like, hey, nigga, do that just be like, nigga, niggas,
get my back, Nigga, get.

Speaker 7 (01:16:14):
These last words. Nigga, I don't know these next four
lines coming up. Nigga, You looking at me?

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Are you looking at.

Speaker 6 (01:16:24):
Keep your eye on each other, because I mean I'll
be forgetting ship and then I'll be like Bop and
I know I'm finna forget ship.

Speaker 4 (01:16:30):
I look for dess this wide dance. Look at me,
I look at Snoop and the dog see my eyes?

Speaker 5 (01:16:39):
Now what you're damn right?

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
That's the cheek the property O.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
That ship works mirror.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
I always wondered, how like what catalog is deep y'all, Like,
how do you remember all the words?

Speaker 9 (01:16:49):
Like doing that ship like ten years ago with the
teleproperty because I forgot a lot of my song and
I'm like, why won't I just have that motherfucker right
with the speakers and right in front of the speak Yeah,
so you can't see when I'm looking down to see
a couple of my lines. I just need to get
a couple of them, that's all here. It's just like
riding a bike. But I don't two or three words.

Speaker 5 (01:17:09):
I need to see them.

Speaker 9 (01:17:10):
Motherfuckers in the rhythm gonna come and I'm gonna see
it even though the nigga that type of ship.

Speaker 6 (01:17:14):
Not right that the doggy style, uh Reunion to Reunion tour,
and he had it up there.

Speaker 4 (01:17:28):
I had to training on death row. I've never really
done that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
So live uh yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:17:33):
So it was like I really didn't know it. Man,
he had that teleprompter.

Speaker 6 (01:17:37):
I just I call it the snoop because dog was
just standing in one spot because and just bust and
the crowd just just love it.

Speaker 5 (01:17:47):
My nigga, and he'll just.

Speaker 6 (01:17:52):
And then he'll just move this way after he got it,
He'll just move this way. So I just strain it
on death Row and I just stay right here busting about.
I'm looking right here and got these dark glasses so
I'm seeing everything.

Speaker 4 (01:18:03):
But I'm just right here. It's all about the movement,
all about the movement. But I'm just looking until I
got oh, I know the rest. Ah, I could go
that way, I go that way. I'm gone, Okay, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
You know that's funny as hell because in my mind
I'm s as a fan because I like to watch
from the I like to watch from the crowd. So
the fam standing there, Yeah, he's busting like he's going
crazy and he's looking.

Speaker 7 (01:18:26):
At the but you need you won't that you want
to feeling them that this nigga know his shiit. Yeah,
you'd rather that than him missed the words.

Speaker 9 (01:18:34):
Yeah, like and see you can't tell he looking because
it's all part of the way I've designed this shit
is cinematics. It's like it's like the speaker right here.
So if you're wrapping to look down at the speaker,
ain't no bad thing. You may be closing your eyes.
What niggas don't know? Where is I've done like maybe
one hundred shows from my eyes was closed for like
fifty eight minutes out of the hour.

Speaker 7 (01:18:56):
Wait what fifty eight minutes? My eyes was closed an
hour long?

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
Shit, where was you at?

Speaker 4 (01:19:01):
Was you there?

Speaker 7 (01:19:02):
Or the stage saying where was you at?

Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:19:06):
Not remembering.

Speaker 9 (01:19:07):
I was zoning out like I go into it. I
want to sound just like the record. I want to
feel just like whatever year it is. If it's dropping
like it's how I want to feel, like two thousand
and five, if anything off Doggie still, I want to
sound like ninety three. I'm like, I'm precise with my ship,
trying to feel it when I when I'm seeing certain
records if I'm doing murder was the case, I can't
be smiling looking at you like I'm really finding it.

Speaker 5 (01:19:30):
You know what?

Speaker 7 (01:19:31):
That ship was, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (01:19:32):
So it's like I've done a lot of shows, but
then was the best shows I did because I was
just and the fast love that ship because they're like
this Nigga is into it, so I can get into him,
you know what.

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
That's crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:19:46):
It's how you know see this, how I know this
is my family because you know, Snoop raised me so
and he raised Dass too, but we all have we
all think alike, and it's crazy because that's what he does.

Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
Now. I learned the eyes.

Speaker 6 (01:20:05):
Closed because I said, you know what, because I fucked
up on uh sacramenting with Dazz.

Speaker 1 (01:20:11):
He remembered the city.

Speaker 5 (01:20:13):
You know that, I remember their word.

Speaker 6 (01:20:15):
Dads called me the next morning like you gotta give
me half your money, and then I said, you know what, yeah,
very serious.

Speaker 4 (01:20:32):
I was like, no, hold on, I'm gonna get it together.

Speaker 6 (01:20:34):
I just started studying performers, and believe it or not,
it wasn't rap performers. I was looking at R and
B performers like Mariah Carry, Whitney Houston, h Teddy Pendergraphs
in them and when they was performing they ship Man,
they closed their eyes and they would really be into it.

Speaker 4 (01:20:53):
They that's how they got They vibe and closed their eyes.
Their eyes were closed and they would sing it.

Speaker 6 (01:21:00):
And that's what the crowd loves, is your performance, not
you looking at him in fact, and I was just
watching them, like, let me close my eyes with the
ship and then I can probably remember my lyrics.

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
You know what I'm saying, because I.

Speaker 6 (01:21:10):
Ain't got no distractions because the crowd will take you away.
I've been rapping and then I see one person's eyes
they looking at me and.

Speaker 4 (01:21:21):
Member, So that's crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:21:25):
Dog said that about closing the eyes and getting in
tune with the music and giving the performance.

Speaker 4 (01:21:34):
Like the crowd ain't even there. Let me just just deliver.
That's all they want. And I tried that and it
worked ever since.

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
To be fair, like, I do want to give you
all y'all flowers stuff for real, because every time I've
seen individually or together seeing I perform Number one, you
hit all your vocals like it ain't like a lot
of backtrack. It ain't you know how the young the
younger they perform on with the MP.

Speaker 5 (01:22:00):
Three, they just perform over the record.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
Yeah, they just wrap over the lit y'all perform, y'all, sit,
y'all hitting every word. And then the other thing is
you sound like the record like a lot of times
that's not that's not the case, like dog was saying,
like that's kind of important for the experience, Like if
I'm coming to see the thirty year anniversary of this,
so if I'm coming to see you do dog Food
the whole album.

Speaker 5 (01:22:19):
Like I want to go back there, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
I don't want to be in twenty twenty four like
or in the in the quarantine like, damn, the ain
gonna sound like, you know, are they missing a step
or missing the word or whatever? Like So that's that's
that don't go unnoticed. That's appreciated.

Speaker 7 (01:22:32):
Would you pay for a dog food doggy Styn too?

Speaker 5 (01:22:34):
Hell yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
Fuck? Let me tell you one of the most Let
me tell you something. Oh wait, does announce me before
I blew past that, cause I want to tell you
something that I this is a personal thing. The only
the one of the main things I regret, actually two
things I regret in life. Is one this girl I
didn't holler at when I was like in high school,
but whatever. And the second thing is it's not going

(01:22:59):
up and smoke to. Yeah, and because not because I
didn't want to. I just couldn't afford it. Like we
was on welfare. You know what I'm saying. I couldn't
go to them and smoke to when I was a kid.
But that's one of my main like watching that shit
as being the West Coast person, I am that right
there was like, that's one thing I wish I would've
been a part of, like as a fan, just watching
y'all from growing up and not being able to listen

(01:23:19):
to your ly your your music in front of people
like my my grandma and shit. But you know what
I'm saying, But like just certain things like that, that
that's one of them. That's one of the moments in
time that I regret not being a part of.

Speaker 9 (01:23:31):
It was a big move cause I had just finished
my last album on No Limit last Meal, I just
finished The East Side of Shit. Drake just finished Chronic
two thousand and one, and when them was out, you
was in Warren g was still out. Yeah, so it
made sense, you know, Dre put that shit together like that.

Speaker 7 (01:23:52):
And then while we was on the road. I don't
know if y'all know it or not, but DJ Pooh
wrote the Wash, Yeah yeah, yeah, And he wrote the
Wash on the road.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
He worked the rock, he worked the Watch while y'all
was on tour, and I didn't know that part. Oh
that's crazy him.

Speaker 7 (01:24:05):
And the role what is he?

Speaker 9 (01:24:06):
We had to convince Doctor Dre to do this shit,
cause this nigga just don't do none of that kind
of shit. We convenced him to let Pool rite it.
Pool wrote the motherfucker. Then we got back home. We
convinced him to come shooting, and when we shot it,
we was like gonna putting him and m in it
were wapping did that shit. But that Upper Smoke Tour
created that movie. That's what I love about the Upper

(01:24:27):
Smoke Tours, that they created something after that, and that
was an experience that people the treasure, even if you're
watching on videos like it's a great experience to see
us actually doing the shit in a real beautiful white.

Speaker 1 (01:24:40):
Now that's that I watched that. I wore that that,
I wore that video out. But like, to me, that's
just one of the moments like and I that's why
I'm kind of excited. Before you came in though, we
was talking about like that, just getting back together and
the nostalgia of it all, and like the energy. I
don't it don't seem like y'all just went in the
studio and just randomly did a something, did some records.
It sounded like if they energy feel like it's supposed

(01:25:01):
to feel.

Speaker 9 (01:25:02):
And so that's kind of why I'm in, sayed niggas shit,
that's what they do, and people love what I do,
and I just feel like it's time to put back

cause the dog pun they broke up.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
Hey, what's your thoughts? What's your thoughts? Cause Dads told
us the story when he first caught when he first
reached out to me earlier, he was like, yeah, I
pulled up to the studio, Corrupt didn't know I was here,
and uh, He's like, y'all reached out to snoop. I
thought it was just time to just get back because
I asked him like what made what brought the energy
back together? And that was like it was just time
to reach out to my cousin and he said he
was he snucked in and uh and uh, Corrupt came

(01:26:13):
in and saw him sitting there, like, oh you snuck
in here, okay cool, But what was your thoughts initially? Was?
I know it wasn't like a thought that we're going
to go in andto a project initially, but what was
your thoughts initially? Like when he first reached out, like
let's do some ship. Well, my little brother had passed away.

Speaker 9 (01:26:27):
And one thing about my little brother that he loved
the fuck out of Dash and he loved us together,
and to honor him, you know, my mission was to
you know, I started calling family members after that.

Speaker 5 (01:26:40):
He was God, yeah, it was attacking men.

Speaker 7 (01:26:44):
Kill you because they because they like, they know we're
supposed to be together. We got a family that cousins
but were like brothers.

Speaker 5 (01:26:51):
We grew up together.

Speaker 9 (01:26:52):
Family know that we family. So when we're not right,
they know we're not right. So and they don't want
to pick side. Yeah, like they're supposed to. So when
I reach out to him, I'm like, man, y'all get Dash,
let's figure it out. So me and him get on
the line and we communicate, and I'm like, man, come
over and see me.

Speaker 7 (01:27:08):

Speaker 9 (01:29:12):
When we all get in the room, right, we get
chilling and we just like, funk what happened yesterday? Let's
just talk about today, and we chop it up with
chilling having a good time, and then we just basically
just start talking about where I want to go and
what I want to do with them and the things
I see that they could be doing and how they
should be upgrading and remade or whatnot. And they listening,

(01:29:34):
I'm like, I don't want to own your niggas, to
run your niggas. I just want to help because I
see certain things that I can do that can make
us better, not just y'all, but us. Because when we
look good, we look good. When we look bad, we
look bad. So then I throw a beat on going in,
just dropped a little hook on it sober they take
off its smoke up. Then we finished with that one,

(01:29:57):
put another one out and then fired his.

Speaker 7 (01:30:00):
Later we got a whole album.

and we're all there.

ego or no attitude Abouttom Dash is a dope mass producer.

Speaker 5 (01:30:45):

Speaker 9 (01:30:46):
But for him to say all because you driving, you
picked the music, you tell us which way to go.
I commend you for that cup and that that takes
a lot of And I'm using you right now as
an example to a lot of niggas that I'm fucking
with as far as like to say, look what dad
did this niggas on this bomb mass side. And I
know he got rocks in his motherfucking hard drive because

(01:31:07):
there was one song he was like, send me that
beat when the wreck Jackson was like I.

Speaker 7 (01:31:11):

that inch back to like to some ship. I'm like, nah,
I need you to stay in this rat hole, but
stay in rap mode and not say it's about us,
thank you. That's that's team ball. They'll let you know
what this project is about. It's about what's best for
the project.

Speaker 5 (01:31:28):

if you ask me so. Another one is coming out,
you can't. That's just me getting them back in shape.

The publisher being right, with the publisher being right from
the rip credits like nobody misled. We're getting credits right
from the top because that's what we didn't pay attention
to him we first signed, you know, and then we
got mad later on, but it was our fault for
signing that contract right, and the lass say you can't
fix something you already and did.

Speaker 5 (01:32:22):
Fact.

Speaker 9 (01:32:23):
So it's like when I ton y'all of what I say,
this was the realist conversation that we had. I'm gonna
share it with y'all. I said, when we was on
death Row Records, we probably didn't make the money were
supposed to make. But when we got off death Row Records,
we made way more money than we made on death
rolls death So do we fall death row or do

(01:32:43):
we thank them for giving us the opportunity to go
get that and now that is back, let's go get
this out for this business because now.

Speaker 7 (01:32:50):
The paperwork is right now.

Speaker 9 (01:32:52):
