Murder for Life. 00:07:48 Speaker 3: You clipped me. 00:07:49 Speaker 1: You see the shit? You see the lies? Yo, you see the lies? Yo, they clipped me. Yo, they gave me the part. Yo, you know they say watch for the hook. I'm going to tell you what happened. He ain't let me watch for the hook because he put me in the video for... You might not even know. Hold up, you might not know this. What happened? I'm about to tell you. I'm about to tell you the God's honest truth, nigga. You my brother. Yeah, yeah, hell yeah. You know, I wanted nothing more than for me and you, Rockefeller, Murder Inc., Ja Rule, Bleak. We was on that. We just came off the tour. Yeah, yeah. We was talking about doing a BQE project. Nigga said Bleak can't be in your video. 00:08:32 Speaker 2: Who said that? That had to be Dame. Dame, you did that? We need Dame up here. That couldn't have been hoes. Nigga, let me tell you something. 00:08:44 Speaker 1: I was hurt, nigga. I was like, what you mean my nigga can't be my nigga? Bleak's working on his project. We about to do Bleak's project, put Bleak out. And Bleak can't do your project and be in your video right now. That was Major Captain America. They ain't even want my project to come out. They want to be Nisiku. What's that? We gotta get to the bottom of this. We need to get Dame home. Somebody needs to smoke. It definitely wasn't Biggs because Biggs don't talk. Biggs would have been like, I don't give a fuck. It wasn't Biggs that made the decision. We need Dame up here. I don't know who made the decision. I don't know if it was Jay or Dame. But I know that's the word that I got back to me. They said Bleak can't be in the video. So now... What did I have to do? I had to change the song. Yo, when I seen it, it seemed like that. So you think I was going to go change the fucking song? I didn't change the record, nigga. I ain't know that. 00:09:40 Speaker 3: I wish you wouldn't have hit me. 00:09:41 Speaker 1: I was tight, nigga. I got to find out who sent that message. Nigga sent that message on a roll. Wild. I was tight. Yo. And I think, real talk, I think that would have been a dope coming out party for both of us. Like, I was already kind of moving. You know, my album was you know, moving a little bit. But, you know, that was my first album. I only had the one single, Holla Holla. And we did the remix. We smoked that. 00:10:04 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? 00:10:06 Speaker 1: Like, yeah. And you did the fucking remix. But that was after. That's why I was like, yo, did they set me up? 00:10:13 Speaker 3: Yo, my nigga. 00:10:14 Speaker 1: Clip me from that and throw me in this. Like, bro. We got y'all. Cause I out of here. I don't know how that went down. But yeah, that's hip-hop history. But you see how two stories can be told. Yeah, that's crazy. He thought I clipped him. I'm like, nah, man, you clipped me. 00:10:30 Speaker 2: I thought, you know, sometimes the industry, they hit you with that Pac-Man. 00:10:34 Speaker 1: Sizzins, get you out of here. Yo, but talking about the homies, what's up with Black Child? That's my yo. Black, all the artists y'all had on Murder, Inc. 00:10:44 Speaker 2: I can say Black, me and him built a major relationship. We used to be out here in Miami going crazy. 00:10:49 Speaker 3: Black, my nigga, man. 00:10:50 Speaker 1: I love Black. 00:10:51 Speaker 3: That's my nigga. 00:10:52 Speaker 1: And Vida. Vida. She lived in Jersey in my same town. I used to see her all the time at the store. 00:10:58 Speaker 3: Yeah, I speak to Vida all the time. 00:11:00 Speaker 1: Word. It was my peoples, man. I always fucked with them, man. Shout out to Black Vita. Good people. 00:11:06 Speaker 3: Know them, the people. Those my peoples, too. 00:11:08 Speaker 1: Black Vita. Definitely, man. Fucking... Yo, hold on. 00:11:11 Speaker 3: All of

them. 00:11:11 Speaker 1: I fuck with everybody. Of course. 00:11:13 Speaker 3: You know, I love them all, man. Let me. 00:11:16 Speaker 1: See, damn. We got to that already. 00:11:18 Speaker 3: You got your notes? 00:11:19 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yo. Oh, that's what we're doing. 00:11:21 Speaker 3: Yo, chill. 00:11:21 Speaker 1: Fuck. Yeah, I got to get my dope. Yo, what's speaking of that? Yo, no, this is Norio. Norio, you talking about his dope? Yeah, if y'all learned it, B, I'm going to say. Y'all learned it on set. Man, throw that shit away. Nah, nah, nah, because I need to remember certain shit. I need to remember certain shit. We smoke too much. This stuff affects the weed, y'all. But yo, nigga, give him a teleprompter or something. That's better than fucking notice it. 00:11:59 Speaker 2: But talking about paying homage, do you feel you get enough credit? Because in my eyes, bro, you're one of the first that started the rapping, singing shit and on the low. not that I hate it, but I was envious of that. 00:12:12 Speaker 3: Used to be like in the studio. 00:12:13 Speaker 1: Like, hell no, God didn't give me that baritone. He didn't give me those vocals. I used to be like this nigga going there singing his own hook, writing his verses, then put a little more on it and be like, yeah, I'm out of here. These niggas is cheating. B, what the fuck happened over here? I gotta just rap all this shit? I'm gonna tell you why it worked though. Because I can't sing it. You know what I'm saying? Honestly. So, real talk, niggas felt like, like, nigga, I can do what that nigga's doing, and they can sing along with it, too. It's not like I was fucking, you know, a real singer. So it worked for me in that aspect, but, man, nigga. Nigga, you had them bombs, bro. Niggas don't even know. 00:13:00 Speaker 2: One of my low-key biggest records that people, everywhere I go, every. 00:13:04 Speaker 1: Girl is like, Bleak, Bleak, I know this record. It's my favorite record. Infatuated. 00:13:09 Speaker 3: People don't even know. 00:13:11 Speaker 1: That I called my dog. Yo, Bleak, I'm going to tell you right now, nigga, that's one of my favorite fucking hooks that I wrote. 00:13:17 Speaker 3: My nigga. 00:13:18 Speaker 4: They don't even know I put that call into my dog. 00:13:21 Speaker 3: That shit is dope, nigga. 00:13:22 Speaker 1: Word up. It was dope. I wish it would have gotten, I don't know. I should have shot a video for that. I feel like there's two records I should have shot a video for. That, Infatuated, and of course the record with Rihanna. But my shit don't work for everybody. Yo. 00:13:35 Speaker 3: They're like, look, it didn't work for Nori. Me and Nori did the joint. 00:13:39 Speaker 1: Leo called my shit watered down and all this crazy shit. Popcorn! He's in popcorn! He over there flipping the popcorn, you know what I'm saying? Nigga, get the fuck out of here. 00:13:50 Speaker 3: We all ain't believing around here. 00:13:53 Speaker 1: Nah, let me tell you though, but Lansky was a smart businessman. He knew how to put artists in competitive spaces against each other without them being envious. Well, they may be a little envious, but without them being that being a thing, you know what I'm saying? Without getting into their natural, you know, Relationships, you know what I'm saying? 00:14:18 Speaker 3: He did it with me, JNX, all the time. 00:14:20 Speaker 1: He'd just come in, he'd just pop up and be like, hey, you know, X is working on his new album. And I'd be like, damn, the dog working again? You know what I'm saying? 00:14:31 Speaker 2: Like, Jesus Christ, he just dropped out. That's one thing I feel like they don't give you enough credit for. 00:14:36 Speaker 3: Niggas don't know, Rude. 00:14:37 Speaker 2: You was up there dancing with the dogs as a young man. 00:14:41 Speaker 3: I was different. I was different. Like, you know what I'm saying? 00:14:44 Speaker 2: That's a lot of niggas that you couldn't just, a lot of people can't, you know, God bless, can't just rhyme behind DMX. A lot of niggas can't just rhyme by a hove. And I'm not talking about the hove today. I'm talking about the hungry Jay-Z trying to get to today. You was on those records going toe to toe with niggas hard. 00:15:03 Speaker 1: We all had our own thing. 00:15:05 Speaker 2: Y'all niggas was on y'all shit sparring like a motherfucker on those records. 00:15:09 Speaker 1: We had our own thing, you know, and I think that was dope. You know, X was the ultimate grimy street nigga and shit. Jay was like the ultimate fly, flossy nigga and shit. 00:15:22 Speaker 3: And I was for the bitches. 00:15:24 Speaker 2: So we all kind of had our thing. Nah, but it ain't start that way, Rude. Them first records. Murder Graham and all that. You wasn't talking to no bitches. I mean, that's just rap. You ain't had the muscles yet. You ain't had the muscles yet. You just had the muscle. 00:15:40 Speaker 1: Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You wasn't talking to the bitches on Murder Graham. 00:15:46 Speaker 2: Y'all niggas was going hard back then. 00:15:49 Speaker 3: Nah, it was good fucking time. 00:15:52 Speaker 1: Yeah, man. 00:15:54 Speaker 3: I enjoyed every aspect of what our come up was. 00:15:58 Speaker 1: Of course, man. 00:15:59 Speaker 3: It was the best time. 00:16:00 Speaker 1: Those were the golden eras. Everything. I enjoyed it all, nigga. It was all very... It was... It was a learning curve at every aspect of it. Definitely. You know what I'm saying? And I feel like I needed each thing to take me the way I'm at. You know, the way I navigate is different. The way I move is different. 00:16:26 Speaker 2: Bro, like, if you ask me, you touring more now than before. Maybe you just was in Turkey somewhere. Remember, our wives, we was on there before.

Nah, I'm enjoying recording again and shit, but if I had to rank the albums, Vinny Benevici would have to be first. Yeah, that's special. 00:19:03 Speaker 3: That's the first one. Yeah, I would say Benedict E.C. 00:19:05 Speaker 1: First. And then I would probably go with Rule 336. And then Pain is Love. Y'all, I'm always mad. And that's kind of how I came up with 1-2-3 in that form, too. 00:19:23 Speaker 2: Talking about rule 3-3-6, I'm mad you never shot a video for murder. Rain is murder, or murder rain, whatever that is. 00:19:30 Speaker 3: I think I did. 00:19:31 Speaker 1: Every time it rain, every time it murder. 00:19:34 Speaker 3: I did shoot a video for that. I did shoot a video for that. 00:19:36 Speaker 1: I did. 00:19:37 Speaker 2: It might have been a time when, you know what I mean, niggas wasn't in the crib watching BET no more. 00:19:41 Speaker 1: I got to go check that. That's one of my favorite. That video was good, too. I can have Patrick Swayze in the video with me in that shit. 00:19:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, y'all was awesome. Rest in peace, Pat. 00:19:51 Speaker 1: They was on some shit back in the day. They have no clue, Ru. That was a good video, but that was during a time when niggas was off-rule a little bit, and so it didn't do what it was supposed to do. 00:20:07 Speaker 3: Here's the crazy thing about music, right? 00:20:09 Speaker 1: In times and space, motherfuckers don't realize when they was hating on a nigga or what period of time. 00:20:17 Speaker 3: They forget too. You know what I'm saying? 00:20:18 Speaker 1: So now when I do these records and they get the reaction that they get, I'm like, niggas was hating on me during this moment. I said, you niggas forgot too. So you wasn't enjoying the music. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? 00:20:33 Speaker 3: You wasn't enjoying the music. They just didn't want to admit it, bro. 00:20:37 Speaker 1: That's all it was. Because, nigga, I do Class Act. I do Wonderful. I do fucking New York. I do fucking Murder Rains. Nigga, the reaction for these records is crazy. And these is all records that I was putting out after, you know, all the beat and shit. So it's like, it's weird in that way. But this is what's the... beauty of music, you know what I'm saying? It touches people. Definitely, man. 00:21:01 Speaker 3: You know, a lot of niggas ain't going to admit it. 00:21:03 Speaker 2: You know, this is a world where people choose sides and, you know, when something is hot, people. 00:21:08 Speaker 3: On that side. 00:21:09 Speaker 1: But we shouldn't, though. 00:21:10 Speaker 2: And that's just how it is, man, and it's whack. 00:21:12 Speaker 3: You know, niggas, it's going through. 00:21:14 Speaker 1: If you ain't got something to do with something, think about this, right? And I say that all the time, too. But if you ain't got nothing to do with a situation... Particularly, right? Yo, the fans be acting like they in the drama now. They are. Yo, like, they be acting like they in the drama. I be reading these tweets and like, yo, half of y'all kids never even seen these dudes' neighborhoods. 00:21:36 Speaker 2: Been to they cities. All you did was listen to the music. How can you inject yourself into somebody's drama, though? Like, the fans, that

shit is crazy. But we not going to get in. 00:21:49 Speaker 3: The fans is the fans. 00:21:51 Speaker 2: And they like what they like. You never could go against that. Music is what it is. But the fact that they don't want to admit that rule, come on, man. Niggas know you was smoking niggas' boots since the time you came out. Nigga, you kidding me? 00:22:04 Speaker 1: Nah, fuck that. I don't want to talk about it. Fuck that. 00:22:08 Speaker 3: You started the pause game. 00:22:09 Speaker 1: No, you don't know what the pause game is. No, Dame started that. It started with Rock and Fella. That's where it started. Yeah, Dame started that. I tell them all the time, I'm going to pause it.

No. 00:27:06 Speaker 3: And let me tell you what I took from it. 00:27:11 Speaker 1: If you could command the stage by yourself without anybody else, you're a star. You're a big star. You're a big star. Because these people are locked in on you. Ain't no dancers. Ain't no motherfucking, no other nigga running around. There's nothing, nigga. It's just you connected to these people. And you gotta

carry that, nigga. For 30 minutes, an hour. I'm on stage for an hour and a half. 00:27:40 Speaker 3: Nigga, I don't, there's nobody, my nigga. 00:27:44 Speaker 1: And for me, That connection to the crowd like that is something that, I don't know, man. You can't get that in any other form. You know what I'm saying? That shit is music and music only. And that connection is my connection with my fans strictly. You know what I'm saying? And they know, even though I'm going on this big tour right now, I'm popping out for some tapes. Even the corny ones. Nori think it's corny. 00:28:16 Speaker 2: I'm going to be overhanging everywhere. 00:28:19 Speaker 1: Denmark. 00:28:20 Speaker 3: Listen, Paris and London. 00:28:22 Speaker 1: Are going to be lit. I got more dates. But I'm coming back to the States June 1st. I got on the low right now. I got about 30 dates. I'm coming back home to the States. I start June 1st. So my nigga ain't playing. Rule out their gear to that major chicken. You heard? 00:28:39 Speaker 3: Listen, this is my 25-year anniversary, Blink. I just wanted to go celebrate, have a good time with my fans. 00:28:45 Speaker 1: That's right. 00:28:45 Speaker 3: Make a new album, put it out for my fans, go out on tour for my fans. 00:28:48 Speaker 1: Are you working with in-house producers on this new project? 00:28:52 Speaker 3: I'm working with everybody. I did the joint. 00:28:55 Speaker 2: I see you got a hit maker walking the building. 00:28:59 Speaker 1: Hit on the motherfucking... You know what I'm saying? That's his whole side of the fucking building over there. Okay. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, yeah, he came and blessed me with some magic, some of the Hitman, Hitmaker magic. You seen the tweet the other day. 00:29:18 Speaker 2: You like, yo, I got some shit. I was like, yeah, I'm about to see Rue. 00:29:22 Speaker 3: I want to hear this. 00:29:23 Speaker 6: And then now I'm trying to hit you some shit. I definitely got to hear this, Rue. I'm just enjoying fucking making business. I seen you freestyle the other day on the shit. On Sway shit, yeah. 00:29:34 Speaker 1: How it feel? 00:29:34 Speaker 3: It feel good, don't it? 00:29:35 Speaker 1: It feel good when niggas be like, yo, this nigga still got it. Yeah, they gas me up. 00:29:40 Speaker 3: I'm back in the studio. 00:29:45 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying? I just did an interview the other day, you know what I'm saying? I was on Tamron Hall's show and I said, yo, listen, artists that's in our age group and I need to start making music again. You know why? Because hip hop has grown up. This is the 50th anniversary of hip hop. So you got to understand something. People 50 years old and beyond listen to hip-hop. That's a fact. Niggas that's 60 or 70 listen to hip-hop. So that's a very broad audience now that we are able to grasp. 00:30:29 Speaker 3: It ain't just the 18 to 35-year-olds. No more. 00:30:31 Speaker 1: It's not. 00:30:31 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? So hip-hop has to have that growth. 00:30:35 Speaker 2: And I think for a special power era... The fans, our fans all grew up. Like, you know, niggas got two, three kids. 00:30:43 Speaker 1: You know, niggas ain't outside trapping. Think about us. 00:30:46 Speaker 3: We got to talk. 00:30:47 Speaker 1: Think about us. Yeah. Just think about yourself. Nori, me, you. Think about us. What the fuck we got to listen to? Because I don't listen, I can't listen to all of the young shit. I like some of it, I can vibe with some of it. But I can't listen to it all. Yeah, and so when Nas makes an album, it's refreshing for us. When Jay makes an album, it's refreshing for us. You understand? I'm like, yo, well, when Ja Rule makes an album, it should be fucking refreshing for us because I'm not out here trying to be the young nigga. Nigga, I'm old. Nigga, I'm 47, 48. 00:31:19 Speaker 3: I'm proud of that shit. 00:31:20 Speaker 1: That's a fact. You know what I'm saying? And that's what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? That's a fact. It's a point to that. 00:31:29 Speaker 3: Watch all those niggas in this room. 00:31:30 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:31:31 Speaker 3: Yo. 00:31:32 Speaker 1: Yeah, nigga, me too, nigga. I'm proud of these 40-year-olds. We might just want some C-21, my nigga. But it's real shit, though. Niggas, hip-hop has changed, niggas, in this way. 00:31:42 Speaker 3: A 45-year-old. 00:31:47 Speaker 1: Nigga, let's just take a 40-year-old nigga. A 40-year-old nigga, 20 years ago, nigga was coming up here in some hard bottoms and a suit, nigga. Because that was what a 40-year-old man was. Looked like him. 00:32:01 Speaker 7: And looked like him representing himself. 00:32:02 Speaker 1: And that was nothing wrong with that. That was just the era. Hip-hop now, 40-year-old niggas look like all of us in the street. But that's a fact, and that's real shit. And so that's what keeps us younger. So the music has to still be getting made. I wasn't even going to bring this up. You grabbed the shorts. Yeah, I got, yo, listen, let me say something, man. 00:32:25 Speaker 7: Your shorts is above the knee. We got to talk to Jerry. We got to talk to Jerry. Jerry, you making these shits a little too cut. I'm sagging right now. 00:32:35 Speaker 1: I'm sagging. It's only one reason that makes that good. 00:32:39 Speaker 2: Listen, when the shorts is above the knee, I say on. 00:32:43 Speaker 3: My man, Tata, shout out my guy T. 00:32:45 Speaker 1: Tata. 00:32:46 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? That's when your money is super. So that made that article we read. Y'all got a hundred M's. 00:32:53 Speaker 1: I'm sure I said that check clear, baby. 00:32:55 Speaker 5: Nah, I'm going to tell you. 00:33:01 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you the true side. This is the true side of a nigga who just got some real money. 00:33:09 Speaker 3: When you see niggas start sitting like this. 00:33:11 Speaker 1: When you see niggas cross their leg like this.

Let's see what he got. 00:33:41 Speaker 3: Him and Gotti over there making moves. 00:33:44 Speaker 1: I'm going to just say my catalog is very, very frugal. Hell yeah, nigga. You got them bombs, nigga. Yo, listen. I think you and Vinny getting 20,000 spins a week on the radio. That shit didn't exist until you dropped the records, nigga. Nigga was getting 100,000 spins a week. 00:34:04 Speaker 3: I'm going to say this. 00:34:06 Speaker 1: I'm laughing, but it's a little bit. 00:34:09 Speaker 3: Def Jam didn't even have a. 00:34:13 Speaker 1: like a rhythmic pop radio department before me. No, this is what I'm saying, bro. I remember. They didn't have a crossover. They didn't have that. They didn't have a taboo crossover. And I came and said, we need a department for this nigga, what he's doing. So I got a little bit true, but for Def Jam, maybe. Yeah, you invented that shit. 00:34:36 Speaker 3: You said her name was Martha. 00:34:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a fact. 00:34:41 Speaker 2: This nigga in records was putting up numbers and shit was being played every 10 seconds. 00:34:46 Speaker 1: And I appreciate you for giving me my flowers. Yeah, definitely. I'm appreciative of my flowers, man. You know why we gave you my flowers? I was very appreciative. I'm appreciative of my flowers, man. Yeah, man, nah. You know what I'm saying?

So whatever I went through, for me, you know, I was always on my learning shit. You know, you use this opportunity to grow and learn. in prison for two years. I've read, I've read a bunch of books. 00:44:59 Speaker 2: I forgot my G did a two year stretch on Rikers Island for that slammer. 00:45:04 Speaker 3: Nah, I didn't do it on Island for Rikers. 00:45:06 Speaker 1: They got four with that slammer jam.

But knowledge is what I'm saying is power. All the time, bro. The more you know, the more you grow. That's a fact. The knowledge is power. 00:46:35 Speaker 3: I mean, like. 00:46:36 Speaker 2: And me, I learned, me, I taught myself, I say more from just reading. I like to put boots on the ground, like me, like to learn about my history. Most people read about black history on the internet. I went to Africa, stayed for a month. You know what I'm saying? Like to really learn about our culture. So I do shit a little bit different, like, but books, the. 00:46:56 Speaker 1: Words don't, they don't move to me.

You're wrong with reading. Don't preach the message to the kids. Even my daughter will be like, my dad capped it. You got to let the kids fucking understand that. 00:48:26 Speaker 3: That's what it is. 00:48:27 Speaker 1: No, I'm not. And knowledge. However you get it. You know, like I said, you don't got to read. The more you know, the more you grow. However you receive the knowledge. Learn from people. 00:48:38 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? You can learn each one, teach one. 00:48:39 Speaker 1: That's right. Whatever it is. I learned from you. Learn, you know what I'm saying? I remember, you don't even know I learned this from you. I was on tour with this nigga one day and this nigga got a check over the envelope. 00:48:53 Speaker 2: They're like, yo, what's that from? He's like, yo, this is from BMI, my publisher check.

So, you definitely put me on to that. 00:49:21 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like, you learn from everybody you're around. And I took knowledge and a piece from everybody. Like, Earth Goddy was a major, major. 00:49:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a sponge, Bleep. Niggas don't realize, you know, our people watch this shit. I watch and analyze everybody, you know what I'm saying, in the room at some point. 00:49:38

Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? 00:49:39 Speaker 1: I do that. 00:49:39 Speaker 3: That's just how I move. 00:49:41 Speaker 2: You definitely sit back and analyze. Because there's a lot to learn from you. And you don't learn from everybody. You ain't one of those dudes who be like, yo, new faces in the room, we bugging out. You would be like, hold on, let's check the scene out. Because like I said, we've been on many, many missions on tour, man. That night with X-Men was one of the illest nights on tour, nigga. 00:50:03 Speaker 1: With the rental car. When he took Kyle's car, he was in the rental. 00:50:08 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. X used to do so much crazy shit. God bless the day, man. 00:50:15 Speaker 1: I used to do a lot of fucking crazy shit, man. 00:50:19 Speaker 3: But it was fun back then. Definitely. 00:50:21 Speaker 1: Remember, we used to have them dice games on tour. 00:50:24 Speaker 8: Niggas was losing. Remember we used to kidnap each other and shit? We used to kidnap each other on the tour. From different crews. From different crews. Like, we'd go get niggas, take a nigga. 00:50:35 Speaker 1: From Rockefeller, and had a nigga, and now y'all got to come get him. 00:50:41 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Yo, we used to be wild lit. They don't have no idea. 00:50:46 Speaker 1: Niggas don't have that camaraderie in hip-hop like that today. 00:50:51 Speaker 3: At least I don't know maybe they. 00:50:53 Speaker 1: Do I don't know nah the southern the southern artists rock the niggas be on tour together they be doing Christmases the niggas be chilling but I know I went on a tour recently and yo it was like crickets man I was in the back just floating around you know it wasn't my tour nobody wasn't rocking yeah everybody's in they room doing they one two it wasn't like it wasn't it didn't have that vibe you know. 00:51:14 Speaker 2: Yeah but nah a lot of southern artists they rock New York I feel like we especially that borough shit Like, it was on that, you from here, we from here, we stick with our own crew.

We was all like that. 00:51:39 Speaker 3: We was very self-contained and shit, all of us. 00:51:41 Speaker 2: I can say, like, a hip-hop outside of the Rockefeller crew, like, what artists I was the closest to would be you and Nori. 00:51:48 Speaker 1: Yeah, Nori, like, opening up a fuckload outside of you and, you know, Crack. Yeah. 00:51:57 Speaker 3: Not too many. 00:51:58 Speaker 1: I just got cool with Fat Joe and Nori when he gave me the call. You know what I mean? 00:52:02 Speaker 3: I'm on a turntable.

Or, you know, you never didn't think this record was going to work. 00:53:25 Speaker 2: Talk about what you said about Leo earlier, how he didn't believe in certain things. I remember when my second album, The Understander, was coming out and we tried to go with the record Everything's. 00:53:36 Speaker 3: Ago with Hoag. 00:53:37 Speaker 1: And it ain't go, it ain't work. 00:53:39 Speaker 3: And Leo was like. 00:53:40 Speaker 1: Blake, we can't push it back no more. We have to drop the project. So I'm like, all right, I've been telling y'all for months, let's use. 00:53:47 Speaker 3: Around here as the single. 00:53:48 Speaker 1: And he was like, you sure?

Straight up. I'm going to tell you something I always talk about, Joe. The Hard Knock Life tour was very, very fucking important. Because it was the first... all hip-hop tour since the Fresh Fest. See, I was young. I wasn't even thinking about that. Nigga, the Fresh Fest was 20 years prior to that. Hard Knock Life tour was the first all hip-hop tour since the fucking Fresh Fest. And you remember Jay made the speech? He was like, yo, listen, this is important, and we all go out, no incidents and shit. The press conference, I wasn't there. Oh, man, yo. I wasn't there with y'all. 01:05:19 Speaker 3: I wasn't lit enough. 01:05:20 Speaker 1: Hell yeah. I wasn't lit either, nigga. Let me tell you something. I was sneaking in the rooms, nigga. I wasn't going to be left on the fucking side.

Your word, I wasn't lit enough for the press conference. See, this is the difference. Niggas didn't have to invite me, nigga. I was cold, nigga. Oh, there's a press conference today? I didn't know we had a press conference today. I'm there, nigga. I ain't got nothing to do with it, but I'm there, nigga. So let me tell you. So he made a speech. He made a speech about... how important the tour is and, you know, to hip-hop, basically. Like, if we don't, if we get in fights and get in all kinds of crazy shit on this tour, they'll never fucking bond or ensure another hip-hop tour again. 01:06:08 Speaker 3: And now look. And we did it. And remember we celebrated that night. The last event? 01:06:13 Speaker 1: Yeah. 01:06:13 Speaker 3: That's when we was all celebrating. We was celebrating the fact. 01:06:17 Speaker 1: It was over, but the fact that we accomplished that with no incidents and nothing. And now you see what niggas is able to do with the touring game. The touring game is crazy right now. Insane now, bro.
