34:36Some of the artists you looked up to could be from Detroit, it could be from wherever, but I would like some Detroit You know what I'm saying? On your list. Uh, Peasy. No doubt. That's my guy. Yeah, that was, that probably was, to me, the second of Jeezy. Like, to me. You know what I'm saying? Because he was rapping shit we was going through. Like, we'd be hanging yesterday. Next week, we hear Peasy. Like, we was just in an uh, uh, uh. So, you know what I'm saying? That's really how I learned how to rap. Super relatable. Yeah, like that's probably where I took my direction. This place right here.

35:13This set is the only place you can wear fur coat. It's still we cold. This shit out of control. Y 'all niggas, man. Y 'all different. This is like Jembo in this bitch. I feel it. Peezy don't. Yeah, it usually don't reach me. This shit worse than outside right now. Who else? So, Peezy. I don't know if y 'all heard of him. Blade Icewood. Blade Icewood, definitely. Yeah, Blade Icewood. I don't know Blade Icewood. I got to get him. He down there was. He should have. he got killed. They killed him. Yeah, he got killed. He probably was going to make it. Like, he was rapping mainstream back then. Like, you know what I'm saying?

35:46But Detroit, Detroit town. Then, let me see what probably Ray. Oh, like, you know, I fucked with everybody. You know, they jacked the girl, man. The girl from out there. What was her name? Dej. Dej Lowe? They stole the whole style, by the way. The whole America stole her shit. Dej, for sure. She started to flow her style. and the fucking world. Guys, girls, everybody ran with her shit. I'm going to be honest with you. No, for sure. I feel like she was making songs hard. Like, you ever had somebody who you like, when they get on that bitch and make the song better. She had a silly ass voice. He's the king of that.

36:25Yeah, hell yeah. For sure. They definitely, they definitely took her style and multiplied. Oh my God, the biggest in the game. I used to hear, be like, yo, is this Dage Loaf? Yeah. Like, because they all ran with her shit. That's almost like fucking Bone Thugs created They Don't Stop. We can start a debate, whatever you want. No, we like Bone Thugs. No, no, but Bone Thugs. Next thing you know, I hear Mariah Carey. Yeah. Running with they shit. So you forgot it was they shit. Like, they ran with Bone Thugs shit. It became normal. Every R &B record had the flow. Like, they could have sued everybody for flow.

37:08Like a melodic cadence to it. I don't know what to tell you. I'm listening to this shit. I said, yo, they jacking the fuck out of Bone Thugs right now. Who was first, Twister or Bone Thug? That's the problem. Twister, right? We don't know. Nah, I don't know. That's the B. That's the B. This thing came up before Bone Thug. This thing came up before Bone Thug. Aaron Hall was before R. Kelly.

37:33Who that? Who's that? Yeah. You ever heard jam or jam Teddy jam for me y 'all listen Aaron Hall was the king of R.B. King. God it was the most proper shit. It did. What happened? Kelly came out We all think Arcade was the greatest of all time? He definitely there. One of them. Really one of them. He'll come out here if they let him get a furlough, he'll come out here and shit on anybody in the verses. Now listen to this. If they let him get a furlough. He'll shit on all of them. The feds don't give out furloughs. This is the question here, right? We be having this debate. If R. Kelly get out tomorrow, do you think he will sell out a concert?

38:26Hell yeah. But what about the shit he just said about Nemo? They ain't gonna do that to R. Kelly? Do what? the disc rec. The shit you, this scenario, you discate. We talking about rappers. I said they would do that to Tupac. They ain't doing that to R. Kelly. R. Kelly, like he said, when you cool, it is what it is. That's R &B. All right. R. Kelly. I think he'd sell out as soon as he get out. If they said R. Kelly getting out the mall and he announced the concert when he got out. That shit sold out. R. Kelly ain't sold his catalog. I don't think he owned it. So what happens is R. Kelly wasn't so smart business-wise.

39:11Yeah. So R. Kelly was a genius, not even with the pen. He couldn't write. This Lex, he was right back. So he write on the recorder. I've done songs. Yeah, he do the melody, then he put the words to it. He sit there with the mic. I did smash this with him. He sit there with the fucking recorder, do the melody, put the words to it. I've done hits with R. Kelly, so I know. I do the melody. He hum it. He can't write. He just make noise. What the fuck do you want me to say? Then he put the words with it. Man can't write. But he a genius, so he go on the recorder. And hum the melody. He hum the melody, then he put the words.

39:51Like Best of Both Worlds. That motherfucker was all right. That Best of Both Worlds, that's probably my second favorite album of all time. It's Illmatic Nas. Yeah. And it's Best of Old Worlds. Hell! Yeah, yeah. Wait! No, for real, though. I was like, this nigga right here, sweet right here, bro. I was young. This was like, I go... Best of Old Worlds. Hell! That motherfucker. Did they tour for that? Let me see a little body, body, body. They did one out of that motherfucker. She was crazy. Crazy. Somebody girl is at this party. She was crazy. She coming home with me. Somebody girl is at this party.

40:40Yo, bro. Sitting in the VIP. I really, you know, yo. He doesn't own any of his stuff either. Very little, apparently. He sold it early. It's all tied up with the labels, and then other stuff is tied up because of courtship and whatnot, too. I don't even think that. You know, I know the real, if you want the real. You don't want the fake? It was still real, bro. Everybody ain't willing to say this. That's why you never heard it before. You know what I think? What? I think he got in trouble. It was like, this your name, this your name. You got this, you got this. No. So they can't take you. What happened was they called him and they stepped to him and said, I'm going to put you in jail because you did this.

41:23Not speculation, not nothing. You did this to her. how about you sign over your catalog and you're publishing to us and we won't put you in jail and he signed it before the court case and you know when it came time he couldn't even pay for his lawyer also be clear that if he would have went to jail for other crimes I'm sure everybody would have chipped in and got him the best lawyer in the world but once you play with that crime sexual assault you cannot control pedophiles shit like that He's his own bottle 18-100 I can't really tell you I don't really know I'm saying is he in a federal penitentiary?

42:04He in the fence No, no, he done We never seen R. Kelly again He in the fence Never No, I think he gonna get out Nah, he getting out He never, ever seen R. Kelly again Cause he just might lie from us But he getting out I think Trump gonna get him out Hell no Trump don't Let me explain something to you Trump Fat Joe He can't He got nothing to offer him Man, when Trump I'm the last You're going to see him get so many motherfuckers out. Listen to me. I'm the last true R. Kelly fan. I'm a fan. I watched that trial. No. I'm a fan. The fuck is you talking about, crack? I watched every day of this trial.

42:43I prayed every day for R. Kelly that he beat it because he was my friend. Yeah. And I was hoping he wasn't guilty of this. and I prayed and prayed and prayed and hoped he was innocent. I'm telling you. I don't know if everybody else went to that... Trial. No, no, to that length. What about now? Of death. I can't. Where you at with him now? I just can't do it. I just can't do it. You know what I want to ask? He done went to jail for murder. I done paid for every lawyer in the world. What shit he did currently? Huh? That's what I don't know. Did he go to jail for shit he did back then? Like in the 90s?

43:20I thought he was the... Look, look, look. Hold on. Hold on. Let me say something, because you is loyal. But listen. The shit he did. You got to say he's guilty. Look, he was guilty. I don't got to say he's guilty. What you want me to say? He was a troll. He did some ill-matic shit, because he did some bullshit, and they've stashed it for mad years. He did some shit to little girls, and then it happened that she was a grown lady. Yeah. So they threw that one out. But then they came with some other shit. the point is the point is if you allegedly kill two people and get away with it OJ Simpson you move to South Africa or you move to the you do not diddy bop around the white people at Morton Steakhouse thinking you're you slip on a banana peel my nigga you getting 10 ,000 years it is what it is so the guy was hot and I guess he kept playing with fire and then it was like, hello.

44:22And he has life, guys. Dang. They have an extra case waiting for him in Chicago that has nothing to do with this. That they said, chill. He got enough. If he ever attempts to come out, we got this one on him. He's done. God bless him. Yo, I gotta get the fuck out. You don't want to listen? I don't... I can't understand. There's a guy... Who you know? I'm telling you what I know. They can't lay away case in case he gets out. So he's got... Listen, he's got a 30-year federal sentence from New York for racketeering and trafficking with an appeals court and it was held up in 25. Man, they hit him with a lot of bullshit.

45:07He also has a 20-year federal sentence from Chicago. Look, he got New York and Chicago. But with a 19-year concurrent, one consecutive. Okay. Listen to what I'm saying. So 19 of that would be time served, right, in New York. And then he has to do a one. So it's a 31-year sentence, technically. If you want to Google, Google the case they got sitting there for him for whenever he thinks he's coming up. Pull that up. Manuel Noriega. Where's the fucking shit at? Manuel Noriega. Where's the layaway archive? Manuel Noriega used to own Panama. The United States got rid of him, put him in jail. The minute after 30 years that nigga thought he was coming home, France hit him with a case for 34 years.

45:46That's what they're going to do then. You compare Manuel Noriega to R. Kelly. R. Kelly is Manuel Noriega. He's the biggest guy of our time besides fucking Michael Jackson, bro. God bless the man. That's all I can say, you know, and the victims and everything. We not, you know, I wrote it out to the last. Trust me. I wrote it out to the last. People were telling me I'm crazy. I'm like, yo, I'm praying. I'm going this. There's nothing I can do. It is what it is. All right, let's move on.

And boy, we used to abuse at 42. I was still young back. Yeah. We come after the club, nigga. 25 in the morning. Yo, Captain. Nigga wake up with shit in his eyes. We like, yo, we're going out. Sunset. We want to see shit come up. He get in that boat. We out there. You know, he was one guy.

56:00He's a very generous guy. Scott Storch, he really was. But, you know, that's what you do it for. You know, my favorite line was Jay-Z's line, and I never know nothing, so I ain't going to get it right. Y 'all probably know it. He says, if we ball, we be each other's crushes. If we fall, we be each other's crutches. So the concept is you can't be the only rich guy. You fall off, your friends can't help you. Big mistake we make. The more of your friends that win, we hope they come through and they help you when you need them. Yeah. Your team got to be winning. Whatever they do. So whenever you need help, they'll come and help you.

56:41What about when they can't get it right, though? What you do? Substitute these niggas? What you do? Cut them. Like? look, when you trying to help some motherfucker, they can't get it right, they can't beat Crutch, they don't get it right everybody on my team that really want to work they got a job now these niggas don't want to work yeah, you wake up you call on me at 5 in the afternoon yo, I got two bitches over here he don't want to work I've had friends that never had a job in their life and was like, yo, take me to Jay-Z, I'm like, for what? if anybody really want to work in the crew they got a job but we can't carry dudes that don't want to work or want to fuck shit up or fuck up the vibe fuck up you can't do it never I agree is the line you were speaking of if your click is rich your click is rugged nobody will fall because everyone will be each other's crutches your click is rugged your click is rugged no one will fall because we'll be each other's crutches That's how it's supposed to work.

57:45Now, I can tell you I went to jail for taxes. Nobody was my crutch. Nobody came and said, yo, my nigga, here's a dollar. Nobody.

57:56Fat Joe:Everybody knows Shaq, but off camera, he's just a regular guy. People never believe me when I say I'm just like them.

1:00:32At what point do you go to jail for taxes? Well, you gotta pay taxes. Yeah. So America says land of the free. It ain't free. If you do not pay your taxes, sooner or later, they will come and say, let's go. They got somebody in jail right now for six months. I was saying, no. Somebody in jail right now for six months. You high in money? Huh? Or you just ain't paid? Well, you ain't paid. So if you make a million dollars, I don't know what it is in Detroit, here in New York, half a million goes to them. Gotta pay the taxes that will put you out of business. Me personally, I paid my taxes. I had an accountant and every month I was sending him wires like I was paying my taxes.

1:01:24The nigga was robbing me. Yeah. So when they came to me and said, yo, you ain't pay your taxes. we went to the wires and was like, no, no, we sent this guy to wire every month. They said, you as the leader of your household are responsible for who you hire to pay your taxes. And they fucked me. He stole my money. I wound up paying the shit again before I even went to court and they gave me time. Guess what? When I came out of jail four months later, you got eight months. That eight months, I worked my ass off to pay the money that I had just paid them. So say you owe them, I owe them$1.2 million without a penalty.

1:02:06They gave me a bigger penalty. $1.4 million penalty. Right? So I paid them the$1.2. How about when I got out of jail, I had to work for eight months to pay them half of the$1.2 I gave them because they said, man, you had a good year. You just paid us. This shit ain't to play with. The taxes? Do me a favor. Take that serious. Because they'll come and then your whole life they'll haunt you. Can't get a passport to leave the country. Can't get a license. You can't. Nah, they don't fuck you. They don't play. Nah, they want they money. Or you can move to Dubai where there ain't no taxes. There ain't no crime.

1:02:49The streets are nice. Made out of marbles. And there's no deportation. Nah, Dubai is deportation. There's no fucking weed. ask little Dirk in them there's no weed damn man so you really bothered if you had to go move somewhere yeah but so you went with no weed what was that like it was cool yo K let me ask you something the second that plane landed you left the bags right you ran straight outside yeah they brought it to the airport but you ran past the bags No, you did not stop for your bags. Did you stop for your bag? You ran right outside. It's fact. You lit it up. Fact. Ooh, that's me with a Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke.

1:03:38Yo.

1:03:43The doctor told me stop the Diet Pepsi, stop the Diet Cokes. I said, well, this is where we got a problem. Yeah. You told him no? I told him, you know, I'm going to change the fluidity. You see the water? is more water than Diet Coke, but it's like a drug for me. I gotta have it. So now let's cue up the music. Look at the power of 42 Doug. The man hit me up and said, oh gee, I'm ready to come and throw that shit on. He came and sat on that couch. You know how many niggas told me they coming and can't come? I don't know if you understand. You know how many guys told me, yo, next week I'm in New York.

1:04:22I got all access like that, folks, too. I got to figure out who put you on the couch because you just can't come on the couch. Yeah. 42 said, I'm coming with that shit on. That's no problem. Come sit on the couch, baby. No, for sure. Appreciate you, homie. 42 different, man. You know what I'm saying? He might be short, but he a giant. Big heart. What's these songs right here? Let's go to this song right here. Exclusive, but we lit what we got. Yeah, there's two songs coming from my upcoming project, part three. I really left it up to the fans to determine what the part three is too. Because I did part two.

1:05:041-1-2-4-1 Wayburn, I did Young and Turn 2. So instead of naming the Young and Turn 3 or 1-1-2-4-1 Wayburn part three, I just named it part three. And I'm like, y 'all tell me, was it more part three of Young and Turn or Wayburn? You know what I'm saying? So I feel like it's a mixture of both. This song, me and Skiller, me and Skiller, he from two different sides. You know what I'm saying? So at first, me and his side ain't really rock like that. You know what I'm saying? So I got out and shit. I'm like, you know what? I ain't really got no problem with me. You know what I'm saying? Plus, if it's going to do better for Detroit, I'm all for it.

1:05:46You know what I'm saying? So me and him kicked it. And I'm like, shit, send me something. He pulled it up to the studio. he play me this song and I'm like yeah I'm like I need this one I did some shit for him and I'm like let me take this one you know he more like talk the shit for the girls and all this shit I'm more like in the streets with it you know what I'm saying so I like went over to his lane and you know I feel like we made a bad motherfucker this motherfucker hard right here what's it called?
