Aries Spears on Ice Cube & 50 Cent beef, T.I.'s comedy, Jay-Z & DMX impressions

27:31What do people ask you to do? What's your most successful impersonation? Oh, shit. What'd you say? I know they all are, but we should. They like the Tony. There's gotta be one that people always actually. They like the Tony Soprano. Oh, yeah, you'd be killing. Fucking Metal and AJ. It's going out of the fucking 80s. Got the metal guy with the good fucking gravy. All my kids love it. Metal and AJ and my sister Janice and fucking Johnny Shack. Yo, that shit is crazy to me. That shit is crazy. I don't know, my voice might be a little fried. You ever get an Italian spot, an old Italian joint, and you start talking like that, the whole fucking place will look at you, right?

28:06They'll be like, yo, what the fuck? They love it. And when I do it at the show, it's like the Italians go, fucking niggas good.

28:16You know that one guy, he does a good Denzel. Oh, just C. King? Yeah. Let me tell you something. He, of all the dudes that did Denzel, me, Godfrey, my man Reggie Reg out of Chicago, C. King, and Dean Edwards. and again this plays to people going man you a hater you don't give it up to other people I said listen C. King is so cold with it I stopped doing it because I felt foolish he's dead the fuck on and every chance I get to promote him I tell people people still hit me up and go yo you're Denzel C. King he got the crown he got the crown he's cold with that it's like that sometimes you know, you got a big, sometimes somebody does something so good, you don't want to fuck with it.

29:04Well, you know, everybody like this, there's certain impressions that everybody owns. Like you go Frank Caliendo owns Madden. C. King owns Denzel. J. Farrell owns Will Smith. So for me, it's like Tony Soprano, Shaq, you know. As long as I score 2018, I'm gonna dominate. If you don't score 2018, you're gonna dominate. I get a ball inside, outside game. You got to get a big dog to ball, man. You got to put the eyes. That's comedic. That's a part of it. Why you making it look like he in the back of the bus, man? Shaq is so red. He sounds just like that. Yo, he sound just like that. But you ain't see the eyes?

29:45Yo, Shaq. Shaq. He was doing the real Shaq. Shaq loves it. Shaq is in the yellow bus. Shaq loves it. Shaq loves it? He loves it. He was on Drake. Hey, I love Jada Gizma. He really fucking me up with this Eurostep shit. I might get into a concert. No, no, no. You being a comedian, you seen that shit. You thought somebody helped. Anybody threw the battery in his back for him to hit me with that? That was too good. Yo, that shit was too good. Joe, I can't keep fighting you for verbal rebound position. Listen, rappers and comedians have a little bit of it. Because it's wordplay. It's jokes. It's metaphors.

30:26It's punchlines. You fucked up. So that's not a surprise. Listen, I can rap, but I'm not a rapper. But I can... Some lyrics. Facts. Let me see. I don't want to embarrass myself, because I tried to do a Biggie impression, and it was awful. But I wrote the lyrics where I said something about the... Biggie baby delivers cold like the shivers. Talk slick shit. Spit game is vicious, malicious. How I roll through you like a cancer. Doc speak bleak. Talk about your chances. seem to work slow to chemo. Flesh to the bone marrow. Fife went on that road. Fuck sorrow. Fuck beef. Make peace with your priest at least.

31:01Nigger think about tomorrow. Papa, spotcha. Biggie B done droppedcha. Chris, keep it real. Keep it frank like Sinatra. Something like that. So I'm not a rapper. But I, you know what I mean? And I'm gutted in this new generation. These niggas is garbage. And he was using the B.I. voice a little bit. But I don't really have it like that. How do you feel when you go in enough people have jacked Biggie's voice that he don't have to be that accurate? Like, you know. But when I did it. Every fat dude came up to me with Biggie voice. Yeah. I personally, no disrespect, guys. Let me, if you want to learn something right now in hip hop, I think I've been in it for a long time as a fan, as a rapper.

31:47Don't jack nobody. Their style, their voice, their swag. You're wasting your time. Do you know how many guys I met that were fucking dead nice? That all they had to be was them. And they might have been a superstar, but when they come on, oh, it's just, it's just, and they doing the voice. I don't like nobody sounding like nobody. That's why when I get called an old head for going, yo, why don't you like this new generation? All you niggas sound the same. the same melodies, the same cadence, the same flow. All you all you niggas sound the same. But it was always like that. No, no, no. In the 90s?

32:34Tretch was rhyming like this. Dude, your niggas, it's crazy. If you look at every video at that time, every rapper from anywhere was doing whoever's been popping, they've been jacking these people. But if DMX, Tretch had that move, if DMX was, you know how many guys I've seen come in the studio with a dog thinking they hurt? And those guys didn't last. No, at all. So originality was a thing back then. Oh, no, very, very much a thing. But now it's commonplace to be the same. It's crazy. But I do believe that this new generation is a lot different from my, and I'm not trying to hate on them or talk them down.

33:16I just say that they're looking more for the bag or the lick. It ain't so much culture. It ain't so much, oh, yo, this was the legend. This is legacy. They like, yo, for some reason, everybody. I don't know if it's like that in comedy, but everybody think they could be a rapper. They think this is the easiest job in the world. Everybody. The guy at the Target, Target, the guy who works the front desk in this building, The guy at the deli, the dudes on the corner, everybody think that rap is just the easiest shit in the world and they could become successful. But a lot of people feel like today it is because it's garbage.

34:01This shit is just not as potent as it used to be. It's garbage. So the dude at Target can be a rapper. It stepped on. Baking soda. I'm telling you, if I really wanted to, I could do this shit. But my passion for excellence won't allow me to sound like garbage. I try to tell, like, guys similar. I try to, well, not so offensive. But I try to tell, like, my nephews or whoever try to rap and all that. I be like, yo, it's so much easier for you. And we had to guard rock him. You know, even Fat Joe, I discovered Big Pun, but I went to the school of Big Pun. meaning we double platinum and the party's outside and we the hottest and he be like fuck that we writing rhymes today there's 90 degrees and everybody coming in the benzes in the truck yo we going to archer beach like fuck all that crack we writing and so i went to the school of big pump with he will bust your bubble like the way we used to rhyme when big pump was alive, it's not even healthy for your brain.

35:07But you find a way to put 50 words in one loose leaf thing. One of the most classics ever, that diddly diddly diddly. This is exactly what I'm thinking of while I'm explaining it to you, right? It's like when we did that song, it was like so much pressure to put every word together, everything together. And now you gotta have some swag, some melody, something. It's definitely easier now. Listen, man, I sent out a post one time where I said, Biggie's Niggas Bleed should be a tutorial for anybody trying to rap. Because with that picture he painted with the melody and the pace of the song, you thought you was looking at a scene in a Martin Scorsese film.

35:54I mean, it was vivid. And I'm like, that should be... If you're going to be a rapper, you should have that. I thought in real life, I can't say much. Yeah. In real life, I can't say as much as him because they was actually part of the team. But, you know, Biggie was my man. And I seen the Scorsese picture in real life. You know, I was in his house hanging out with him in Brooklyn. And this, he just got lit. But I mean, like, just got lit. He was like, yo, Joe, come to my show. I think it was Roseland at a Palladium. I got a show tonight, this and that. And Biggie was like us. hockey shirt, shorts, whatever, this, this, this.

36:34And man, when I seen the pictures of that party, where he had the Salmon suit on with the Gators, I seen him transform into that character. Not saying he ain't the real deal, but I seen it with my own eyes. It shocked me. I knew him and I couldn't believe it. Like, he did so much for the culture of, you know, taking, you know, if you think about Biggie, everything was underground before that. Like, so a song like Mass Appeal. There was straight hardcore beats, primo and lyrics from Guru, rest in peace. That was a hit. And that was playing on every radio station. And it was like hardcore shit was the hit.

37:15And then Biggie turned it into like taking those samples and making it a super hit. Right? So his vision to rap on those beats and to take it to another level, everything about him is still Oh, boss blows my mind every time I listen to Biggie because I just can't believe he was that good. Like, and it's cadence and it's flow. It's funny because, again, when people go, yo, what's your top five? And I say it and I've seen this online where people go, I don't know how people put Big in a top five. He only released two albums. And I'm going, listen, how much evidence do you need to see to tell that somebody is special?

37:58So what do you think? That if he was alive, he would have just fell off? It was going to get better. I don't need eight albums to know what you're worth. You showed me the first time. So come on, man. That's what I'm telling you, man. People are fucking stupid. Most people are fucking stupid. Like, you really don't see it. You don't understand it. And because I'll say that, I'll just stick to here. What you want me to do? You're staying true to your opinion and you're voicing your opinion. I don't disagree with you. I've had young kids tell me that Biggie sounds like to the hip, pop, hip, to them right now with the way they rap.

38:40You know, the youth is crazy. Look, our heroes, well, my heroes, like I said, I grew up on your, Rakim, KRS-One, you know what I mean, Biggie. They heroes is Lil Uzi, satchels and purses. I can't disrespect little Uzi on here. That's your opinion. He's my guy and I love him. What was your experience like on Mad TV? Because when I saw you on there, it was like, you was fucking lit, Dion. It was like one of the first black people on Mad TV. For me. Yeah, yeah. Were you? No, actually before that, it was Orlando Jones, Phil Lamar, and Debra Wilson. I came in season three. You was one of the ladies.

39:24Listen, man, you know, again, if I could have had it my way, I would have loved to have taken the path of Eddie Murphy, you know, a couple of years on SNL and then to the stratosphere. But I didn't get a chance to play in the NBA. I played in the CBA or the ABA. You know what I mean? Mad TV just wasn't SNL. Let me tell you something. But they always got that little white affiliation. No disrespect to my white brothers and sisters, but they always got like J.B. Smoove. Yeah. He's pretty much a black Jew. He with that Larry David. He must be performing at every bar mitzvah. J.B. Smoove is Jewish.

40:00Don't get that fucked up. You know, they got that. Once you get that little Eminem co-sign. I'm telling you, that's my man. They love him. The Jews love him. He's down with Larry David. That's his group. Like Tracy Morgan. Tracy Morgan keep it all the way hip hop. Big gold chains. Like, I be working. You know, I be bumping into Tracy Morgan's one guy. I bump into the hood in the million-dollar Lamborghini any other day with the top off. I don't know what the fuck he doing there. He driving by himself, no security. He's all the way hood. But for some reason, the white people really love Tracy Morgan.

40:42I mean, he had all the right notes. You know what I mean? Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock. You know what I mean? So he had all the right notes. And listen, I've worked with... So there is a truth to that. Oh, absolutely. And listen, Tracy, man, you know I love you. We comedians. I always go, Tracy Morgan sounds like a New York City drag wave. Oh, shit. Yeah. Tracy. How you doing? That's comic banter, man. He's got shit, nothing on my idols, huh? But that's what comics do, man. If he was here, he'd hit me back. Yeah, I'm Tracy.

41:23Tracy caught that bag too yeah he sure did that motherfucker got too much money every time I see him yo can I invest he don't even know what he want to invest in every time I see him you want some money can I invest yo Tracy I don't need no money now that motherfucker got the super bag you know he told me he say if he dropped because we live in the same neighborhood his shit is bigger than mine don't get it fucked up his house it's that 30 rock money I think it was that Walmart money. I'm sure that made the bag heavier. But NBC, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock Primetime. I'm sure he had the bag, but the bag.

42:02Yeah. You know, when you lawsuit, it's like, you don't get no taxes on that or nothing. You get the whole whatever you get. But he said he called the cops on his, if he sees his brother and sisters in that neighborhood, because they don't belong there. He'll call the cops like, yo, they outside. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. How does it work when you try some material and it don't land how you expect it? Just throw it out? No, you just go back in the lab and rework it. I always say a joke is never done. Because you don't know at what point at any point at night you're on the stage and you say one word that takes it from here to here.

42:43So a joke is never done. You know, Big Pun was real funny. and I grew up with some funny guys. Yeah. And I had this one friend and maybe this is what you're talking about. If he gets you laughing, he will double, triple, quadruple, five times, double down. Like he'll just keep on with the shit where you can't, you know, where you got cramps and shit. Like you just can't take it no more. He's like a real assassin. You know, he's like the movie Killer or some shit like that. He really trying to kill you with the shits. That's my approach on stage, man. Like, if you got him, you're like, oh, no, I'm going to finish this guy, this guy.

43:25My approach is I'm Mike Tyson in the 80s. We ain't going two rounds. I'm trying to kill your head off. That's why I'm glad I came up when I did, man. I got these T-shirts I'm going to drop that says built 80s tough. Because the shit we did back then, kids don't do now. And I think it's kind of made them a little soft. When you went to show... What show, well, one of the shows you went to where you was on the lineup and there was some other people on the lineup. Say like for us, it's a summer jam or something like that. And you like, yo, I'm going to smoke this and you walk out of there. You know, top dog, you know, that night.

44:04Who else was on the lineup? It was the, after Def Jam exploded, it was the first Def Jam tour. and it was Adele Givens, Reggie McFadden, me, Bill Bellamy and Bernie Mac. And Bernie, step your game up. Who let that bitch up? Step your game up. Every time I got a concert, Fabulous wants to perform after me. I don't know why. We got to ask Fab when he come here because I've watched him sit in the car. Like the lineup says Fabulous and Fat Joe and Nelly or something like this. The man find a way all the time to perform after me. Fendi here. Yo, Fendi, why does Fabulous want to perform after Fat Joe in every shot?

44:54See, out of Washington. I'm going to ask him when he comes on the couch. Boy, I'm just trying to tell you, is there anybody like that that you just like, oh, he trying to like, because Fab is particularly the one. that he want to, I mean, you're up anywhere. I don't care if I got the number one song in the world. He gonna find a way to come late to perform after. But why is that, you think? Is it because we gotta ask him because I'm confused because he's my friend. He's my buddy. I'm asking you, do you think it's a thing where it's like he doesn't want to follow you or he wants to? I'm confused.

45:30I keep telling you I'm confused. We done did everything from stadiums to little low budget. You know, every last minute, you know, it's a nice It's winter day. They call you and they be like, yo, somebody's having this birthday party. We got Lil Bag. Pull up. And it's me and Fab. And I watch him in the car like this, waiting for me to go on, perform. The minute I'm on stage, I see Fab come in. He grab the mic after me. You know, I don't know what it is. I don't know if he does that to everybody. He does it to me. Who does that to you? Nobody, really. because, you know, whenever I would do, you know, theaters with four or five other comics, your placement was your placement.

46:15I want to go before rap. I want to go early anyway and rip the Gizzardrons off and leave you with no Gizzardrons. I don't want to go after them. I want to make it pause hard. I don't want to go after them. That's super pause. But let me tell you something. I feel the same way. I got no problem. At certain places where I go, if they'll be like, yo, Joe, you got a half an hour? That's even easier for me. That's hit mania. I just keep bang, bang, bang till they dizzy. And I'm mad at it. You made a mistake. If you want to perform after me, especially if they say, yo, Joe, just a half an hour, 45, I'm just coming with straight hits.

46:56You know, you said earlier that, you know, you're a fan. They did something to me last week. They didn't do nothing to me. But I'm out in L.A., I got a concert. and I knew it was a mistake. So they put me before somebody and I was like, oh, this is a mistake. I said, because I'm about to tear the pain off this bitch so bad that this next person will perform after me and they're legends. And I was like, this is a mistake. But I ain't say nothing. You know what talking to him is like playing double dutch. Facts. You got to try to jump in. because even when I started to say something, he went back to him.

47:36No, you said verbal. You said verbal. Rebound position. Either or. Yo, me and Nori, we go on vacation. You feel what I'm dealing with over here? Man. Because I clearly was off the runway and that nigga said, and then here's the thing. So let me, you earlier said you love to laugh and take a joke and all that. All the time. Dude, does anybody ever, comedians, do you like, don't fuck with, Like, you know what I'm saying? If somebody tried to fuck with you, would that bother you? Nah. OK. That's the job. I wouldn't. Because I wanted to say, man, you got the blackest fingers I've ever seen, nigga.

48:13You got trick daddy fingers. They're similar to the paint in the eye. OK, there you go. We might be cousins. Touché. Touché. Yo, this guy's too funny. Touché. You might be cousins. Don't fuck with him. He got me a race. Touché. He got me stereotype. I can't walk into the hall of a draft. I saw a hero stuff. He got me with the euro. He got the Diabolical. I know when it's premeditated. That was That's on me in the back of air. He said, you know, whenever you want to use the Euro joke, it's over. Like, y 'all motherfuckers, plant that one. That shit was too incredible. Did anybody ever disagree with the Euro?

48:54No, I agree with you. Yo, that shit was crazy, my man. That was the Euro. I said shit. Yo, that shit was dying. You do got the hero, though. Yo, I looked at the... We might have got to set up a celebrity game just to see if you can hit somebody with it.

49:18All I get by... Yo, I was scrolling through the Sprite living track list the other day and immediately started arguing with myself. Arguing with yourself? I'm serious. It was wild because records like California Love, Still Not a Player, back then, those aren't just songs. Nah, those are moments, memories, snapshots of where hip-hop was and where it's going. Exactly, and that's what Sprite gets. They spent over 40 years celebrating artists who really defined the culture. And now they flipping it, letting the fans be part of the conversation. Which is where it gets interesting, because the real debate is why.

49:57Like, why did that song matter? Why did that line hit? Why did it change hip-hop forever? I can't promise you we got the answers. But you're definitely gonna have a good time figuring it out.

52:40Harry all I care about besides God and family and health is getting to the bank so even if I gotta laugh my way at myself to the bank I laugh it and to answer you I went to the Beacon Theater I'm sure you you've been there before right and it was uh I think it's Joe Torrey but I was late and the worst thing you could ever do is walk in a comedy show late and the man caught me and he wouldn't let go he was like the pitbull that's one of my worst fans though like they'd be put the spotlight on you like Reggie and um Nutty Professor yo this guy chored me up in real life he's in the back of my neck got Franks Joe Torrey is one of the oldest.

53:36He got a good 10 to 20 on me. And I'm still sitting down trying to play it off laughing. And the whole fucking beatman is laughing at me. He kept going. Joe's one of the dudes, him and D.L. Hewley, who I studied in terms of going, all right, telling jokes is one thing, but there's certain aspects to the game. Crowdwork. And Joe is vicious. Joe once told a dude, he said something about his mother. And the guy goes, hey, man, don't talk about my mother. She dead. And Joe said, I'll give a fuck. I'll dig the bitch up. prop up against a tree so I can talk about it some more. Oh, my God. Whoa. It was in his hometown?

54:11Yeah, in his trip to say some shit like that. That's a little bit too much. Listen, when a heckler, when a motherfucker is drunk and heckling you, there's no such thing as too much. Because drunk people turn into suicide bombers. They're not afraid to die. So it's going to be you and me. You know what I mean? Man, that's a lot of humor right there to handle, bro. But he fucked me up. He said he could squeeze a donut out my forehead. He was going crazy. Damn. In front of the whole shit. And you just stayed there for that? I had to, man. I got to be a good sport. If I walk out, that's like the guy, you know the guy, the CEO guy, who's with the side piece up at the Coldplay.

54:53If he don't run away and he stands up... They caught him like that in the cookie jar. Yeah, but he could have played. He might as well should have just finished the concert off. No, no, no. He's supposed to just sit there. It was obvious because he panicked. We would never know about it. Exactly. He panicked. He panicked. He panicked like he was having a work meeting. No, Wendy. He went under the table running away. He made it obvious. He should have stayed there. He would have been a normal white guy with a normal white girl. If he would have stayed there, it would have been better than him trying to dunk in the whole shit stuff.

55:20He fucked his whole shit up. He panicked. That's what I'm trying to say. Joe Torre got me. Oh, you're saying you had me. He killed me. Rapid fire. Everybody else got to stay there. You got to handle this shit. Sit down. You know, yeah, you fat fuck. Fuck your brother. No, sorry. You run? Yo, J, you run out of that shit? Yeah, shit is even worse. You right? You done! What happened? They said you had an encounter with the dog backstage in LA, BMX. Oh, shit. Oh, man. Yeah, this was back when, you know, comedy albums was a thing. So I went to the Jay-Z concert at Staples Center. and everybody in the back, you know, Busta Rhymes and Snoop.

56:02And I was trying to get people to hold up the album and be like, yo, support my man. So I saw X and I was like, yo, hey, he's like, dog, let me help it. And so I go into the locker room and there's one entrance in, one entrance out. 15 niggas came in there behind him. And then the security comes in, slams the door and stands in front of the door. And I'm like, hey, I was just wondering if you could do some joint. Dog, my voice, I don't know. I heard you, you know what I mean? My voice. Let me hear it. If it's good. Yeah. If it's not.

56:36Let me tell you something, man. I've been I've been I've been black my whole life. I grew up, you know, I didn't grow up in the projects, but I grew up poor. And that's how I knew where my level of blackness ended. This thing was talking to me. And at one point he pulls the razor blade from under his tongue. And that's the first time I saw that. And I'm like, how is this nigga talking? and not cutting himself. And I went, yeah, my nigga them ends there. Yo, my nigga them. I'm black up to a point. That was it. Let me tell you something. Your man, DMX, the stories I got about DMX, he probably got more.

57:14He was down with them. But yo, DMX, man, he was the trip. He was the real, real trip. He did Mad TV. He was the real deal. DMX, man. They had him on Mad TV. Yeah, I played his mother. We did a skit where he came off the road, and I'm in the green outfit with the gray hair and the glasses with the chain with Tim's on. And so he's like, yo, ma, these bitches, you know what I mean? They don't let me fight for me, Earl. You know what I mean? And I was like, yo, son, relax. We're going to talk about these hoes. So it's just me and him going back and forth. Like, yeah. I thought of this crazy story, right?

57:48It's going to lead to a question for me. All right. This is crazy. I like this. It's insane. It's an insane one, right? But it's the truth. It's uncapable. right? So I got a friend, right? He passed away. We used to call him Joe Bentley because he owns so many Bentleys. And when we go to Miami, we used to have all these drop top Bentleys. This guy had too many Bentleys, like an Italian dude too much, right? He died, you said? He died, right? But I'm just telling you this story because I thought about it on the way here. I was like, who it be. But anyway, so this guy must have been the original capper because, you know, everything I say is true.

58:31These people just ain't have an incredible life like this. So they can't, they can't comprehend the shit I be saying. Right? So, this man was the bigger capper than me. So every time, he was so rich, but every time he would tell me stories, I'd be like, he's full of shit. Told me he used to fuck, sit, share. One day he picks me up in my house in Miami, pulls up to Star Island, Cher opens the door and the boost EA and this and that. He blows her ass, walks in. Shit, you can't believe, right? So the man tells me that when O.J. Simpson was in the Bronco, he was in the airport with the private there.

59:09O.J. Simpson is his man, right? He was the one waiting for him, for him and A.C. Green to come on a private breakout. This guy did. A.C. Green. outcowings. But the point is the man telling me all this shit the whole time I know, yo Fendi I know he's my man, he's filthy rich, but the shit he was telling me, I could not believe, right? So one day it's his wife's birthday and he says, yo we throwing, his wife is named Nicole Joe Bentley, his wife is named Nicole. So he says, yo we throwing her birthday party in my other house up in like where Trump lives, Palm Beach or some shit. We pull up. This shit got white horses.

59:56It's just, the guy had too much money. Right? I go with the terror squad. It's me, where me, Pistol Pete. This is why I got witnesses with this one. We going there. But O.J. Simpson is in the house. So Remy and Pistol start smoking blunts with him. They having the best time with O.J. Simpson. O.J. was smoking? Smoking blunts with Remy and Pistol, right? Remy said she even got a picture of that, right? So I go like... You murder two people smoking blunts is easy. Yeah. You right. You right, too. The moral to the story is when they came down to cut the cake, happy birthday, Nicole. Joe Bentley puts the machete in O.J.'s hand.

1:00:43And he says, you did it, nigga, you did it. And O.J. starts chasing him around the house with the fucking knife. Somebody got, y 'all got to get an animator and turn these stories. No, I'm telling you. No, no, shout out to Mr. Commodore. That's what we need. Mr. Commodore just already started. You seen the shit he did? He did it like when I robbed the gym. He played it over. He's white-faced with blonde hair, fat belly out. He's doing the Charlie Murphy. But listen to what I'm saying. OJ starts chasing him around the house with the knife. You say, you did it, man. You did it. The fucking... Who would be the OJ Simpson of 2025 if somebody killed their wife or something like that?

1:01:26What the fuck is he talking about? Who would stop TV? What is he talking about? Who would stop TV if they was in the white Bronco chasing him? they might have allegedly killed their wife. In 2025, who's the celebrity? Any celebrity. Any... No. Yeah. No. That's murder and fame? So you think any celebrity would have the TV going crazy? Yeah. So you ain't got one pick. OJ wasn't even a big celebrity when that shit happened. He just was OJ. My pick is Tiger Woods. Tiger, because you got a white girl. It got to be a white girl. Right? To make this shit go crazy. And white people... Where did this come from?

1:02:13I thought he had a question for you. I do. Here's the question. The question is, I was setting him up. Who's the OJ of the day? Who's 2025 as a celebrity allegedly did some shit like that? Who would every channel turn on to? Anybody that killed two people. But when you say that element, now you're talking about the white girl, Does it have to be that element? No, I'm just thinking about how crazy it can get. Will Smith. From slap to murder.

1:02:46Will Smith running is crazy. And Jazzy Jeff is driving. Jazzy Jeff is driving. And he got the aux cord. He's DJing while he's driving. And as he's driving, it's in West Philadelphia, born and raised. Because I'm thinking Tiger Woods got the white wife. He's golf. The white people watch golfing. Because the white people love OJ. That's what made it so crazy. Right? But it's 2025. Black men murdering white women don't have the same cachet. Yeah. Yo. Yo. Yo. The views of this ain't. Yo. This is out of control. Let me tell you one of the funniest stories I ever heard. This nigga's flirting with the lecture.

1:03:31the Mike Tyson with Eve at the awards and he was like, yo, you got to take the bass out of the boys. Chill, Mike. That shit. I told him that story. What's that story? I don't know that story. Well, one day Mike was talking crazy to Eve. Like what crazy? Out of this world. Like, picture I'll eat your kids and I'll fuck you in your ass. Not like that. Not like that, but... Yeah, no, he was saying that crazy shit to him. He must have looked like a steak. You thought he was going to fuck you up? Listen to the story. You know when you see something and you say something in your mind? He was doing that, but it wasn't in his mind.

1:04:19Whatever he was thinking, he was saying it. And me, Styles and Luch is like, somebody got to be the crash dummy. Then we got to Hulk. Somebody got to get their whole face broke. And then we're going to Hulk them after that. We did 21st Fingers about 20 million times. Nobody wanted to take the first game. Mike was telling me that crazy shit. I want to tell you. I want to. He was saying that crazy shit to him. And we did that to Remy. when we was in his house. That's after she shot the girl before. That's after she, that's before she allegedly shot the girl. I turned to the time he went to his house.

1:05:01He opened the door ass naked. He opened the door ass naked. I was like, yo, Mike. No, no, I see your Mike. Yo, you gotta have heart to tell Mike Tyson, like, yo, my man, throw the towel on, man. And I'm with some allegedly gasses. Yeah. He was like, yo, Joe, you know this is the boxes. Yo, my man, you got to stop. Then we go inside and the type of things he was telling Remy, Ma, I felt pussy if I didn't address it. I had to be like, yo, Mike. Oh, that might have to be around the same time. Mike's on some horny demon shit. He was losing his fucking mind. Yo! who? The iron mic is crazy. He was like, yo, Joe, you know, he showed me a brand new Benz.

1:05:53It was like a 500, some brand new shit, never drove. He was like, yo, you just leave her here. You got the Benz, you know. The shit was crazy. Like, I was like, yo, my man. Just leave her here.

1:06:08That's some terrible shit. When he was looking at me, Remy's eyes looked at me, her eyes opened so big. She was like, nigga you better not leave me in this fucking place I think her brother was with us too everybody was looking like yo like we gonna have to like pound Mike Tyson out we have no pause no choice we gonna have to like it's nothing we can do like he was like yo showed us the brand new band shit was like 150 200 nobody even had that shit right then they should still add the sticker we was like nah she got to go with us. She can't. No, that shit was crazy, man. Oh, it takes a lot of courage.

1:06:51It's almost like a guy at the movies with his girl and they rap into his girl and they disrespect his girlfriend and they tend deep. You know you're going to get your ass whipped. A lot of these guys are cowards. They won't defend their wife or their girl or shit like that. But the guy that does, he gets the beats. Well, sometimes the girls are the reason why they get in the situations. Because she get mouthy and start doing a whole bunch of extra shit. did you beat that let me tell you something my wife used to force me this is when we used to have 100 guys you're a real nigga take me to the club tonight by yourself you don't need the crew this this that I go to the club I see the guys we beat up the night before 100 deal and I'm like there you go you got it this the shit you wanted remember I told you about the shit happened yesterday That's dumb.

1:14:52I'm going to ask you one last question. When's the one time you stepped in shit and you just said, holy shit? Comedically? Oh, that's easy. We ended the first Def Comedy Jam tour at the Garden. and at that time before the clip that I did eventually that went viral, 14 million I was at a radio station in San Francisco and I did So it went viral back then? No, no, no, no, no I'm talking about later, after this moment and I did a Jay-Z, DMX Snoop rapping and it went viral, but before this, The Garden, I didn't write I didn't write it down, I just thought I'm gonna wing it and I'm gonna just go off the head and this is why you go, you have to have respect for what you do.

1:15:37I bombed so horrifically. And as I'm walking past Kid Capri's table, two dudes are standing over there at the DJ booth. And one of them goes, I don't know if they said it on purpose so I could hear it, but just the timing. He was like, man, that nigga was garbage. And I had to walk back from the garden to the Hotel Sheridan on 57. I felt like Will Smith and I Am Legend. There was no cause, no people. It was just lonely. It was me by myself. It was the loneliest walk. It was like change gone come. So then that's why we had, you know what, dude? You got to respect this shit. So I smoked the blunt and I wrote.

1:16:15And I just, I wrote the lyrics out and cut to, that's when I did it at the radio station and it went viral. I'm fine. Yeah. You know what? He just reminded me, this podcast, there's certain guys you can't really dig up. like that, right? So there's some people I big up and they try to diss me. Like Kit Capri, I call him one of my top five. It wasn't good enough. He's on his Instagram. We got to discuss this. This, this, this. I seen him at Ray DeJones' funeral. I said, yo, kid, I can't even big you up. Like, I can't even big you up. I call you the number one on my top five and you still got a problem with it.

1:16:49You on your Instagram like, yo, we got to talk about that. I'm like, yo, kid, I can't be. It's certain guys I'm realizing on this podcast that you can't even big them up because somehow that turns into, how are we going to turn this into some other shit? Right. I mean... I got to ask, because now it just hit me, I got to ask you a question. So when most people go, there's dudes that do battle rap, like Loaded Lux and Murder Mooc. For some reason, a lot of battle rappers can't make successful albums. And then I'm going, and they also go, well, a lot of guys that are successful at making albums can't battle rap.

1:17:27and I go, when you think about a guy like Jada, one of the hardest MCs ever, if you had the battle rap, like, you know? I can't do that shit. For real? I think you could, though. I could, but I can't. They possess a special thing with that. And, I mean, matter of fact, I might could and they might be able to make classic albums. It's just once the people start saying, yo, you know, the battle rap leaguers can't make good albums or, you know, the regular thing is can't be bad. I maybe can if you push me to the limit. Or the bag was out of... Because they never say who wins. Whoever you just... The win or the loser is up to the individual's ears.

1:18:11Like, they never just put a thing up, every 50 rounds, kiss, three rounds. It's just, if you was there or you watched the link, you come outside, your man might think you won. other man might think I won. If the bag is right, there's no... What you got to do is win a good round and a half. I think that was the first. You get a round and a half, you could be... How many rounds? Is it three? But is it... It's really an art of that shit. They can keep starting over in order to come back with the... That shit takes a lot of practice. I would have to go to the... I would have to go in the camp. See, from the outside looking in and just as a fan, you just go, you know, I could do it.

1:18:56I probably could, but I ain't going to step out there and say. And then my question to you, Joe, is. I want to help answer that, too. OK, but let me ask you this. I would think like if there's so much potential money in what if they were to set up like a pay-per-view and go, we would love to see Eminem versus Jada, Fabulous versus another MC. And that never happens, really. Except with the first thing that just happened because of COVID. The thing I'm trying to tell you is to be careful with 50 Cent in them. Yo. Is. I didn't hear that. No. I'm just trying to tell you. Where did we? Yeah, are we talking?

1:19:37Are you here? This hip hop thing, right? Well, the guys, to get the most respect, they have unscathed resumes. So nobody ever raw fat Joe. Nobody ever beat fat Joe up. Nobody with all the guys I ever beefed with, they never got one up, right? 50s part of that frame of thought where no one gets one up on him, right? So you got to understand these guys got these type of like egos where they not trying to take no type of hell. So with the battle rap, ain't no professional rapper. Like a perfect, you might find a Frejo star. You might find one of them. You ain't going to find a top tier rapper trying to battle for any amount of money.

1:20:28Jada against Eminem, this, this. They're not doing that shit because nobody wants that blemish on a record. You know, and it's the same way street wise with rappers. Once you catch that L and you on video, look, they look. They were terrified at six nights until they seen him get beat up one time and they had him on film. After that, they was trying to rush him everywhere he went. Arizona! These people were so terrified. So once they see you catch that L somewhere where there's battle rap or whatever the case may be, oh, good luck walking around the same way you walk around. Now, let me go back to that original question.

1:21:11The truth is, there's a lot of artists out there that don't know how to make a hit record don't ask me why there's a lot of artists out there that don't know how to make a hit hook don't ask me why there's a lot of artists out there that don't know how to change their flows there's a lot of artists out there that's considered the greatest lyricists of all time that never could pick a good beat don't know why it's like when you come to comedy they gotta be like a a chamber? Does he rock the crowd? Does he say funny shit on the spot? Does he have premeditated shit? There's a criteria. For some reason, everybody's not born with that chamber, with every single chamber.

1:21:58And I watched it. I mean, the greatest, you know, if you want me to say a name, which is not right, but there's been some of the greatest guys that we consider the greatest rappers of all time that didn't know how to pick a beat or didn't know how to really make a hit. And so some of them hid under the cloth of I'm underground. You know, I'm underground. I don't really want to make a hit. You know, I don't really want that kind of success. I don't, I don't this, but at the end of the day, I think rappers, like I started out underground, digging in the crates. I think it shows growth if you're able to make a song like Who Shot Ya and then do What's Love.

1:22:44You know what I mean? And me, I used to tell all my crew digging in the crates, I used to tell them all, y 'all came in here to be a superstar. I did not come in here to just be underground. Not pointing them out in any way, but just saying there's artists that just can't do everything. And there's some artists that haven't had the luck. Like you. You're beyond talented. Everybody knows you're beyond talented. You just ain't have no Adam Sandler in your corner. You just ain't have no like, you know, you ain't have somebody with that type of power to say, this is the guy. You know, so you, similar to us, you got to fight your way to where you got your spot.

1:23:28We still fighting. One of the greatest lyrics from you that I loved was at that time when you said, what's everybody so mad at the South Pole? Switch up your style. Switch to South Pole. I was thinking about that today. That was me. And he borrowed me. I was, Jada, I was listening. That was my original. That's my love. Google it Yo J We'll be right back After this commercial break Hold on It's my line How fuck is everybody So mad at the South Pole Learn how to switch Your style up And go South Pole Yo J You gave me to say it But you opened your mouth for Better reason for me To just open your scalp more Woo Hold on up Man that's me Man let's not get this I mean we ain't I got all time No no no no But I gave you that I gave you that shout out No, yeah.

1:24:24On a super smash hit bracket. Yeah. But. It's Bridget who came from Thug It Out, then he threw it on. Yeah, he did that once again, the crossover. Let me explain this to you, right? The point I was making, right, is at that time, everybody borrowed. No, I didn't. I'm just making sure he got to know where it came from. He might have set me up with that shit. No, I swear to God. I swear to God, you were the only person that I heard say that. His shit was a little underground. Yeah, his song was a hit. My shit was smashed. No, but I still gave him the props, Jada. I was listening. I don't care. All right, but it being a bigger song, I just don't.

1:25:09You're not going to deprive me of being a part of it. That's all. But I did big. I love you. That's a big record, make it rain. But let me explain something to you, right? I traveled around the whole country. I did this thing. I think it was for Bud Light. And in every city, the star of the city basketball player would come out, right? So if it was Memphis, it was Zach Randolph at the time. If it was Philly AI, and we would host every one. What I noticed that the whole entire country, from the East to the Midwest, to the West, to the South, were only playing down South music in the club. One time, New York created hip hop.

1:26:03That was no longer that we was not running the game. The West took it. We wasn't running it. South took over the game to the point of, I got to be deaf, dumb, and blind to be sitting in the hottest club with the hottest ball player not to notice this shit unchanged on us. You can't come with the boom back and think you're going to pop one off. It just wasn't working at that time. The DJ got to spend with fluidity the same shit that's rocking. So the DJ playing nothing but the down south shit. So I'm in Memphis and the guy goes and says, let's throw it back. He goes on the rock buildings in the building tonight.

1:26:43Oh, the problem with that was that was actually number one at that time. He said the throwback. The throwback of the day. Rock building in the building tonight. It's because they're so used to hearing nothing but the Dirty South winning all day that even though that record was the hottest shit out, they called it the throwback. Same with New York. New York was really, really cocky. I remember there was a time when New York, you listen to Hot 97 and they be like, yo, what's playing outside of the five boroughs? And they be like, these are my confessions. they had that shit in the chokehold to where they wasn't playing that so according to the line why you mad at the city you gotta switch to South you know how many New York rappers no no because at first they get mad at you you figure it out they get upset nigga made it down South here that's what's ringing right now so all my New York colleagues furious I'm reading the Source magazine.

1:27:49Oh, how could he rhyme on something like this? This next thing I know, everybody's everybody's the 808 rocking like this. But they was dumb mad at me when I first did Make It Rain. They were like, yo, how you can rap on that? And then everybody is just a new norm. Then New York starts sounding like the Dirty South, to be honest with you. If you're going to keep it a buck, because they were like, yo, we got to make one of these. So, in other words, being that he was the originator, it's like you Elvis Presley did it, but he was Big Mama Thornton. I guess so. I'm big the bar. You know who Big Mama Thornton is?

1:28:25No. She wrote Nothing But A Hound Dog. Black woman. Wow. And then Elvis took it. I tell you that, too. You know. But no, she's the real. Well, he spit a bar. He didn't write my song, brother. Be clear. you spit a bar you know and that shit went you know make it rain one of them classic goals don't get it fucked up this is crack it is the first line of the first verse though motherfucker Jadakiss I'm gonna hire a comedian behind the scenes I might hire you give me some Jadakiss jokes cause this guy you tried and you lost I thought we were partners. You tried. 48 hours. You tried. We used to be partners.

1:29:14You was unsuccessful. You tried. You talking about how black and shit is. No, no. That shit was... You got the baseball. That was a draw. That was a draw. That was one and one. No, no, but that was off the top. Nigga, I would never ask you for directions. I asked you to get to the Bronx. You send me to Kentucky. Nigga. The way you all over the place, man. No, you say I'm fried, but let me tell you something. He hit you with that shit right back. I said touche. Man. He gave me my fuck. I thought that was a great one.
