You know when people try on new food and suddenly it's like, wait. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Kewpie mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before.

25:40And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake. Because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Kewpie only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers. Some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it. Restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never tried it? Grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store.

26:13Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. QP, the original Japanese mayonnaise. Let me ask you, Jada. Jada, this is you. Fuck, stop. Great. Every month, this clip keeps coming up. I don't think you ever got asked to. Whereas me, you, Fab. The party party. The party party. That's where I first... That was when I first put the hood on and looked over there. That was the first... That was the beginning of the hood, yeah. That was the king of the hood. That was the beginning of... So I invited... Yeah, I heard you was trying to... I was trying to do something different. And then it was...

26:56So what I'm saying is, when it goes viral for me, it works out for me because it's on the show. What do you think every time that shit, like, you know? No, I have a little bit of crack moment. I go in the comments and start seeing. But once I see people like, Kiss wasn't with that shit. You can see Kiss with just looking Kiss. I've been able to woosah again, long as they know. I mean, I was really star. I was hungry. I was a little bit grumpy that day anyway. Then he came talking that party party shit. He always threw me off with that. Fab can have answered it a little bit better too. I mean, I see from what I thought, I thought Fab had different vodka.

27:40It wasn't Syracuse. You actually made it make sense because he was talking business terms and riddles. The world don't know. He's saying what's going on with, I gave you some bread. Yeah, that's what it's like. You're drinking cocoa also no more. Yeah. I wasn't. You fixed that. Yeah, but it was because it worked out. We hope that was it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We hope that was it. And EFM wasn't there. Smart man. Yeah. You wasn't there? No, I was on vacation. He's like, I'm in Tennessee. You don't remember this. OK. I'm with the family. He's like, yo, let's go. I'm doing drink champs in LA. I can't.

28:15And then he did. I would knock it out. You went to a gun show in Tennessee. No, man. I was with the family in Tennessee. The motherfucker went to a gun on the boat and he been riding Crambo. He went to a gun show. He went to Tennessee. I was about to say that. He went out there. No, it was like some Christmas shit. Let me tell you the craziest shit, right? Because we're blessed and we're from New York originally and there's racism, but it's under. It's like hiding. It's like sexy racism. Everybody works together. White, Black, fed. It's sexy racism. man the first time I went to a movie theater by my house in plantation and the white boys pulled up next to me with the whole truck was dukes as confederate flag with the fucking shoddy on the back window I looked up my son was like my son was like your dad I said don't look at these people keep doing back in time I said keep walking in the movie did you've seen shit like that in in Florida.

29:19Yeah, Florida. It's more north, like Plantation Central Florida. Not Kendall, though. I saw an 18-wheeler. An 18-wheeler. Do a whale. All fucking all Confederate flagged the whole 18-wheeler. And I was like, they won't drop their shit down Harlem or ATL. Not this, but they had that shit out there in Tallahassee. Out there? Yeah, no. It's actually racist. I experienced some racist. I don't even know I know it was racism. Something happened to me that I didn't even think ever. Yeah, I'm going through the thing, pre-check. Airport. Right? I got TSA pre-check. I've been selected randomly. They got it.

30:00Today they selected me off the line to the regular line. I said, what the fuck? You ever heard it? No. Like from the TSA pre-check to the other? I went to the thing, TSA pre-check. Like, let me see ID, take the picture. You've been randomly selected to go through the regular. Hold on, let me speak to the manager. I speak to somebody of them. Yeah, no, that's a such thing. Me, when? A such thing. You know what I noticed? Sexy racism. Every airport you go to, they got, like, different rules. Like, you can show up at some airport. Like, what's that going to happen to me? It gives me this. This is the one time racism hit me so legendary.

30:48And I got that picture with you when you was like Fat Joe. You was chubby and I was in front of the room. I wasn't like Fat Joe. Yo, listen. I was just a little big. I was a little chunky J to kiss. He hates when I put up that picture, but we was fine. I don't know. I got the Rolls Royce. I need him on my team. I need him. If I can say he's from the Bronx, I'm going to say it in one second. So we got the Rolls Royce, right? I got the big sky blue Rolls Royce. Serge comes home from jail from his first bid. He comes home that day. And I got a show. I think we going to Summer Jam or some shit. So I'm not making this up.

31:28I pull over on the Jersey Turnpike to get what? Two glizzies from the nation. From the fucking national. What's the shit? What they think. Nathans. I got two glizzies, right? I go to Fat Fuck Records. How about that? So Fat Fuck Records. So I come back and... I eat two glizzies. I eat two glizzies. My car's parked. I got a lot of this. It's a brand new Rolls Royce. This shit, like a half a ticket, whatever. I just got it. I sit in the car. We don't pull off. I'm about to eat my glizzy. Serge is in the front. He's not supposed to be in Jersey. He just came home. He's on that Corolla. and all that, right?

32:11Bang, bang, bang. The hardest shit you ever heard is a flashlight on the window. This window, I'm thinking, without exaggerating or lying, might be a$20 ,000 window, right? This shit is a half a ticket car, right? So I open the window. I'm not even driving. I'm not doing nothing more. I open the window. I'm like, yo, officer, what's up? Why you banging on my shit like that, right? And I really don't talk bad to the cops at all. Like, I'm usually, I take it on the chin, keep it moving, because I feel like we can't win, right? So I start talking to him slick. I forget Serge is in the car, right?

32:53So I'm like, yo, what's up with you? It's a car, it's half a million dollar car. You hit the window. Yo, this, that, license, this. I got everything. What you talking about? He said, you think you smart, huh? I said, excuse me? Now, this guy was Gomer Powell. He had the boots up to his knee with the little hat, with the little, the little brim. The little brim. He was Gomer Powell. So I'm sitting there like this and I'm like, but I'm, you know, I'm acting up. I'm young. Got the Rolls Royce. Going to do Summer Jam. Lean Back's number one. Right. He goes, you see that? I said, what? He pushed the flashlight on.

33:36By the way, these rugs are fur. The fuck? He goes, you see that rock? I said, what rock? It was a pebble there. Like, for when you walk, you pick up a pebble. He said, that rock? I said, it's a pebble. He said, you know what I see? Crack cocaine. And here in Jersey, we put it in the lab and it takes three days to come back. so you got to sit in jail for three days I look like this and I heard the song change gonna come oh yes it is yo I said it was cool by the river I'm looking at this shit I said yo I see Malcolm X floating by yo I said yo you know what I said you right officer I'm sorry for talking to you like that no problem these guys they could change the whole forecast in one second.

34:37So, you know, we just all got to deal with it. And the gem in that story is, I always tell you, don't argue with the cops. That's like a player arguing with the referee, like a ball player arguing with the referee. The call's made, he's the judge. You're not changing it unless you're doing it. There ain't none of this shit. Mike changed it. Mike made the ref re-switch the call before. That's why he's the guy. That's why that's a fact. Mike told him I ain't like that goal. You didn't like it, Mike? Speaking of clickbait, we go to these sports shows and they try to say, you know, that Mike ain't the goat.

35:13It's like, that's the clickbait in they shit. Like, they want you to respawn and Mike's the goat. Nobody close. The Bron once out of LA. Yo, listen. EFN, I want to thank you. For having all that money. coming out of your serious cage. Because you don't come outside. He was making up to y 'all because he missed last week. He missed three shows. He's like, yeah. I'm bringing history off Rip. He stood us up three times. He gets one more. This would have been blasphemy. He's like, I'll bring an extra person with me. Y 'all would come today. Yo, Y 'all really ought to have smoking queens. No, I'm not.

35:55What's going on with run champs, man? What's next? Oh, it's so healthy. What are we doing? I'm seeing you everywhere. You're doing well. Running with billionaires. It's something that I'm passionate about. It's something that I'm doing. You know, Buster Rhymes called me when we were speaking. I don't remember if he called me or I called him. He's like, so what do you get at the end of this? And I realized that describing running to a person who doesn't run, you sound stupid. If you're not into this, you know what I'm saying? I was in Naples. I was in Naples and you know I commented on this guy's watch I was like hey man nice watch and he looked at mine and he was like nice watch whatever and I felt like he was snobby right so I had to let him know I was like you know I just wear that to swim you know what I mean you know what I mean and then other guy came over and it's like see me take pictures so he asks me what do you do and I realize how kind of stupid I sound to a person that's not a runner.

36:59Like, if you describe getting on the bar to a person that don't do the bar, they'll probably look at you crazy because it's a whole percent of the population. It's only 1 % that runs, right? So we're automatically... We outcast. You know what I'm saying? That's why when you see another runner, you're supposed to say to another runner, thank you for running. You know what I'm saying? Or be like, yeah, you're outside. You got to salute them. It's like when a black person see another black person, we universally go like this to each other, right? It's just happening. So a runner has to salute another runner.

37:28This is a world that I love. Like, my father used to jog. I never jogged with my father. My father used to box. I never boxed with my father. But as he passed away, this is something that I became addicted to. It's something that helps me. I wake up in the morning no matter what. I don't care how much I did the night before. I'm going to give you five miles. I'm going to give you three miles. But then I got maniac people who, you know, who get down with me. You know what I'm saying? Because anybody who runs with me. Yeah, because. Yo, but his son is busting his ass in the underrun. He's incredible.

37:58His son is a beast. Yeah, Nakai. Yo, Nakai. Nakai's an elite runner. You know your kids are bugged out. Yeah. Let me explain something. Those are my nephew. Right, right. So, by the way, I'm going to make a pledge. He's an elite runner. Right here. Yeah, yeah. Not that they need it, but you know your family's my family. Right. So, God forbid anything ever happen to you, your family, they my family. Right. Right. And they good. But you are different. You're the second part of the family. I can't fuck with you. You hanging out over there with Guy Fischer and all the niggas with mix on and shit. Hold on.

38:34Let me finish with Run Champs. So Run Champs. Well, first of all, we don't really even call it right. You're an expensive nephew. Run Champs is the name of the crew. The actual thing is Healthy High. But it started out with me, my boy Mitch, and my boy Los. They both over there. and we all started out with like 10 of us at first, right? We would wake up in the morning and out of 10, it's just three left. So we were like, wait a minute, like, you know, we don't want to, and then I forget how Biz and Messa came, I think it was Vegas. Biz and Messa came to Vegas and he ran with Tim's on and we were in Vibra with me.

39:13Bizkit, you been running too? Yeah, yeah. So I'm... Run with no Tim's no more. Yeah, he better not. Nah, so... So we did that and then what we started to notice is what I just said earlier with Rough Riders. This kid, you crazy. Rough Riders would go everywhere and they would have different chapters everywhere. Just similar to like what we did in Germany. But with Run Champs, I've been down at least 27 years. My album N-O-R-E just turned 27 years old. On the Run Eaton. On the Run Eaton, which is, which is, which is, which is, which is, so think about that, right? So out of all these 27 years career, this is the first time I have never been denied a permit.

39:57Like all this famous shit I've been doing, believe it or not, I can't film anywhere I want to because the Nori name was attached to something different. The Run Chance name is so clean. It's so clean. They give you. They give me the permit, like we're damn near not paying. And it's influential. Like, it's one thing that, you know, I used to make music and people used to come up to me and say, yo, I did a bid to your shit. That shit is, it's a compliment, but it's the worst compliment ever. Like, I don't want, I didn't even want you to do a crime. And like, and they'll claim me. They'll be like, man, that whole bid, man, I'm stabbing it up and your shit.

40:36It's like, hold on, buddy. No, no, the last one-on-one I had. The last one-on-one fight. That's on God. The last one-on-one. You know, I had to fight this guy who's on America's Most Wanted. Go Google it. Go to the floor. Ask, motherfucker. Go ask, motherfucker. Don't make me say the name. Don't make me say the name. This guy was on America's Bizkit. You go find out. America's Most Wanted. Telling y 'all the truth. He was cocked easy. He should have won. He ain't win. Let me explain to you. I'm driving over there, Cool and Dre. Yo, Miami is different. I'm in the studio with them. I don't tell them.

41:22I'm going to fight. I'm in my car. And I'm blasting. What, what, what, what, what, what, what? This is how I'm going to the fight. What, what, what, what, what, what, what? Jing Bing, you got to know the story. You know the story, Jing Bing. Because all the Bronx guys was there. Everybody ever want to see me fight and lose or get beat up and this and this and that, they was all there. So I'll pull up, but I'll pull up the Nori. What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what? Now, nephew, I have an uncle. My uncle Jabu, for 29 years in New York State. He's one of the ugly ones.

42:07That's who I brought to hold me down in that. When all these guys who did years in jail, they didn't even know Jabu was my uncle. While I'm listening to Nori, my uncle's saying, nephew, I'm gonna fuck you up if you lose. You better not lose. I'll fuck you up if you lose. You do whatever, you bite, you scratch, you this, this, that, fuck that shit. We fucking him up, nephew. I said, yo, Jab, I got this. I went over there, I handled my business with the last one-on-one I ever had on the planet Earth. What? I was to your soul. I thought that was the last one. That was the last one-on-one. You know what it is to have a one-on-one?

42:49You know what it is to be Fat Joe the Rapper driving Rolls Royces with you and actually going to the hood to fight a nigga on America's Most Wanted one-on-one? You know what a fair one is? Shoot a fair one and he's cocked diesel. This guy was cocked diesel. He should have won. I actually went there to lose. I said, yo, Joe, fight them toe to toe. Don't play games with them. Just go blow for blow. You know what? Almost like when they do them shits now, the smacks. If you can handle it, the other guy comes with the smack. That's what I was there for. I was for this. Let's go blow for blow. Whoever got a bigger chin, it is what it is.

43:33Unfortunately, because that guy right there, he's an honorable guy. You know I'm talking about you. You're an honorable guy because you took the L. with grace. And you never talk shit and fuck Joe or Joe Mighty Chater. He's a real guy. That time. Were you for them? On God. The Bronx know if y 'all wanna lie, y 'all can lie if y 'all want. He was on America's Most Wanted. The reason I fought him is because it was gonna get real dicey and we were gonna have to do something. You know, the best bet was one on one. The best bet is always one-on-one. I'm telling you the truth. It's like, all right, if you know your people are going to go to jail, they're going to go to jail, it's going to get too crazy, this is all of mine.

44:20He told me, I want to put hands on you. I was like, you're going to have a tough time doing that, beloved, and I'm fat, fat, Joe. I'm like 480 pounds. You know what I'm saying? I'm not a different weight class. You know what I'm saying? Charles de May with the skeleton on. You got watch. Watch. We got Watch Stalkers with Spiff TV. We're going to add Mayer, my boy Mitch. Wow. We're going to get, you know, we actually put in artists with jewelers or artists with like watch dealers. And that's 100 % independent on Drink Chaps Network. I'm going to be my own guinea pig. I love it. But no, wrong. I'm your guinea pig again.

45:04Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot you are. You are my hudger, sir. When they tell you Joe Crack ain't really your own man. And when they try to tell you all that shit in Queens, he was like, look, bro, then they ain't been a sacrificial lamb for this guy. Any invention Norrie ever made. Even reggaeton, when I told him not to go, I was in the video. Like, even when I said, yo. And let me clarify that. The reason I was worried for reggaeton is because CNN is a staple in underground real hip hop. And I knew he was going to catch backlash. for that. He's like the lock CNN. You know, this is the true fucking you know, Maud Deeps.

45:45I was like, yo, I don't know if you should do that because it's going to hurt you in this real world. This with Rich Cotton. You went up. Yo, it sucks. Let me tell you something about J.D. He's a funny dude. Yo, watch.

46:12Yo, 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. Like, why did that song matter?

46:52Why did that line hit? Why did it change hip-hop forever? I can't promise you we got the answers. But you're definitely going to have a good time figuring it out. Go check out Full Sprite Living Tracklist. And break down the stories behind your favorite bars at livingtracklist.genius.com. This is the Sprite Living Tracklist. Obey your thirst.

By any means, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Mark Wahlberg, is based on the unbelievable true story of an unlikely partnership formed to crack a case the system had failed to solve.

47:37Scarpa wasn't looking for redemption. Strider needed results. And as they chase leads and close it on the truth, the friction between them becomes part of what makes the story so explosive.

49:17Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise.

49:50He said that. You thought going in and out was going to blemish his legacy? I think I may be the only human being that ever came to tell him that. Am I the only one of your friends? And EFM. Yeah, y 'all both. Y 'all Cuban, B. Y 'all Cuban, B. And yo, Norm's getting the business like this. I can't. Right? Because no disrespect, you know, we can't call them Yes Men because they still win them 30 years later. That really is team. Right? But, you know, I watch guys play me their album and they shit was trash. Not reggaeton, hip hop. And the whole crew was like, yo! Yo! And they like, crap, what you think?

50:26And I'm like... They went that to that. I can't even... You know, you got to be careful. So he got everybody's in the studio reggaetoned out. I'm like, yo, bro, let me... Same thing that happened. Everybody's reggaetoned out. What you got to realize. You got to realize. Let me finish. Okay, let me just say something. You got to realize. When you're the first, you always kind of look stupid when you're the first. When you're the first, you always... We appreciate what you did for me. And then you have to actually, like, to tell you the truth, like, I met Bad Bunny with you. At once a year, you bring me to the Knicks game.

51:02You hold me down. And by the way, by the way, I really appreciate you because I'm a playoff type of guy. Like, once it's in the playoffs, then I'm locked in. The season, I'm not really... I'm not in, like, that midst you have to tell me, and you brought me... To the most important game. Yeah, to the most important game. You know why? It ain't even about you. I love to show unity to the world and show that my brother, if I got a courtside ticket, that they're calling me. Me and you talk about this all the time. They are calling me from L.A., from this. Billionaires, all the guys I know, like, Joe, can I sit?

51:39This guy is threatening me. Everybody wants that seat. Everybody, you know that. nephew don't lie. Come on, give it up, your nephew, you know, don't lie. That's that prime time. Right? So I go get my brother, I said, come on, slime, get your neck outfit ready, we're going. Of course, for real, Joe, we have to do that to show people. The thing that's most magical and legendary about the locks is that they never broke up and they stood together. We got to show loyalty and unity at all times. So that's That's what I love about that. What I was saying is, thank God you did that for reggaeton. No, but my thing is, I want to tell the story real quick.

52:25So I go up there, I say, you know what I mean? Please, like, I come out my house. I come, we sit in the lobby. I go, you know what I mean? You know, you're seeing that. You queens, you murdered your man. Still that? I'm running, that's that drink song. Hold up. You knew I had a time. But I go like this, and he turns around and goes, his eyes opened so wide, he said, they gave me the bag. I said, they gave me such and such amount. I said,

52:58I had to leave. The man said they gave him the bag. But I didn't, just like run champs, I didn't go there for the bag. I went there for passion. Like to tell you the truth, I did a party in Puerto Rico. And this is how, this is real talk. This is real. because sometimes I describe it as I'm a genius. But let me just tell you really what happened. I went to Puerto Rico. It's my first time in Puerto Rico. I don't speak Spanish. I'm not fluent like that. I can understand it. You can't talk about me in Spanish. I'll know that. I'll get us out of Branneson Square Garden if it's a stabbing. Like I know enough Spanish not to get jerked when I bought work.

53:31You know what I'm saying? So I go to Puerto Rico. This is when Ja Rule is like 10 million. He's the hottest dude on the planet. I get to Puerto Rico they're like yo Ja Rule's at your show and this is when I'm talking about you know Ja Ja like when you know shirt off everywhere like he has no shirt you know what I'm saying like he's just walking around and so I'm on the island of Puerto Rico I'm like I'm mad nervous because I'm like yo this shit is sold out why are they sold out? Nothing is number one homeboy I came to so I'm like alright cool so I'm like but why is it there's too many people like I've done shows in Puerto Rico but I've never done a show like this they're like yo this was Thago's show and Thago backed out at the last minute so I'm like oh this takes all the pressure off of me I'm like oh okay they here for Thago alright cool I know I got hits so it doesn't matter in what language homeboy I came to party is ripping anything down it's a fact what what ripping anything down so I'm like alright cool I'm good I get on stage those shits are fucking smokers man they're fucking hits I perform and then I just watched the reggaeton crowd.

54:42I just watched them sit there and party. And I was so used to performing and a fight breaking out or someone throwing a drink on someone. And these guys partied. I wanted a part of that world. I was like, I don't want, I don't want to be around violence anymore. I don't want to do, so I did one record and it was called Throw My Reggaeton. Boom. And that record went to, it went, whatever. Then I came up to Kevin Lowes, ironically. I came up to Kevin Lowes and I said, listen, Kev, I want to do Spanish. I want to do this music. You know, Beyonce did it. Everyone's, no one sees it at the time. So Kev goes, I'm going to do something that I don't do for no artists.

55:31I'm going to let you go out there and go do the record. So I literally, I literally, like right now, with all these DJs playing reggaeton, like I literally had to go to these people, Joe. Like this is the reason why I was so passionate about it because I know if it worked, we would be right here. But I thought they would be praising me like God. Like, you know what I'm saying? I thought them niggas is like, whatever, niggas. Thank you for what you did. Keep going. You know what I mean? But that shit gave. How do you feel about that? Of course. I'm human. You said he's human. That's my comments.

56:03That's my comments. Like when I look, you know what I'm saying? Like when Bad Bunny gave me love that day, that shit really meant a lot to me. Bad Bunny gave you too much love. It really meant a lot to me. I've been around Bad Bunny 20 times. Yes. And he's too cool for school. He shows love, but he keeps it moving. That day we went to the Knick game. He ran around me. He was like, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. He wanted his... He showed me love. Like so Bad Bunny. Showed you so much love. And it was crazy. I noticed Drew Tranks might get the first Bad Bunny interview. Y 'all better reach out. No, I think LeBron got it.

56:37That's dope. You know what I mean? But let me get back to what I'm saying. I love when I turn on the radio and I hear reggaeton on. Don't get it twisted, because I don't want people to feel like I'm saying I invented reggaeton. I didn't. I helped him come to America. That shit was so beautiful. So getting back to that story was like, then I did these records and I would perform them. And the number one place in the world is Orlando. I don't know. I don't care what you say. I don't care. I know from the algorithms that Spanish music is in Orlando. If you want to test anything, you go to Orlando.

57:12That is baby Puerto Rico to the core. I beat people up over there. Oh my God. But so. I got a story for you. Okay, so hold on. Can I tell you that story? Okay, hold on, listen, listen. Oh my God. So now I can actually sit back and say, look what I helped do. Now I didn't help create it, but I helped it come to the massive. I helped introduce it to Americans. Like I would literally go to radio stations and give them records. Like, yo, do you understand how hard it was for me telling people as Capone and Noriega, I got a hit record with a guy named Daddy Yankee? That name sounds so, so, so, so, so, so household, household now.

57:54Yeah, but back then, out the box. But imagine, imagine they like CNN, Capone, and R &D. You got a... Right, that you was an underground... Got a record with. I was a hip hop purist. And for Latinos, it was already hard enough. Yeah. You know, so I'm like, this is... I went to Puerto Rico, I don't know if it was... A couple years before that. Echo, right? Echo. He took me to a club. I forget the name of the club, but it was one of the big reggaeton clubs. And to me, it sounded like they just... De Noice. They looped Murder, She Wrote. De Noice. And it was the same Murder, She Wrote beat, and they were just doing a Spanish patois.

58:24But still. And I'm like, it's cool. And it looked good with the chicks. But an echo told me that day, he said, this is going to be the biggest music in the world. It's going to take over America. I knew it. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Like, I saw it. And it was just a party. It was just a party vibe. When they were partying, when they were partying, I felt like they're here for the music. Like, that was the first time they're here for the music. So and I'm going to be honest with you. that's the first time I felt like I traded fans like you know like listen me and Jada for lack of a better term we kind of have the same audience so when I'm getting on a Jada record or Jada's getting on my record it's kind of the same people anyway Mobb Deep and Capone and Noriega should have never done records together we should have and if we did records together you know what we should have did girl records I thought about that shit years later I was like yo because we wasn't trading audiences you know the The first time I felt like I traded audience, R.

59:22Kelly. When I got on R. Kelly's record, his audience followed me. And the second time I felt like I traded audiences was when I did reggaeton. I felt like that audience, it was old viejas coming up to me at the airport. Ah, oye mi kando. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, that shit was like, so that gave me an experience that I could never take back. It was one of the most happiest times of my life. Now, had I knew better, I would have definitely tried to sign Daddy Yankee. Like, I was bringing Daddy Yankee. I was bringing Daddy Yankee to Interscope. I was bringing, like, an idiot. I didn't even think for myself.

1:00:00Like, that's how passionate I was about this shit. I know your story, and I know everything you're saying, but I had Daddy Yankee 10 years before. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, Jesus. Holy. Coming to Jimmy's Boss Cafe, everybody, saying you are the leader. Yes, yes. This guy wants me to die. He's one of them guys that might throw a parade. Oh, my God. No, no, I'm telling you the truth. He might throw a parade. Let's get over this. You know what happens? I am Puerto Rican. Swiss. So I know my people. So I know the flaws and I know what they do or whatever the case may be. We came out to the fight with Aga Balanga and it was Puerto Rican heaven.

1:00:42He got knocked down and the whole crowd cheered. These the same guys. When we walked out there with the flags, he fell and they was like, like cheering for him, his fall? Oh, wow. Cheering for him. They went there saying, Edgar Balanga, my man, I'm body time, this, this, that. And you think that's boxing fans? No, no. Haters. Yeah. They turned like in one second. Like, it's sort of, he learned that because he's a young kid. but I learned that a long time ago so Fat Joe's very careful with all this shit so let me say something man I learned that a long time you know we started the Puerto Rican parade we started bringing boxers in the ring with Felix Trinidad we are the first to rap being big pun bringing Felix Trinidad in the ring that's all about Equal shit every man in Puerto Rico too I know y 'all had a run it's biscuits I love how you say it.

1:01:44Put that ass on it. Why should be ass too? You know what they say? Somebody had to break down to me because you know I don't know. I'm really telling y 'all the truth. I'm fried. I'm fried. No. Yo, listen. I'm fried. One thing I could never recite is that if I try to recite one of your rounds, one of your rounds I'm fucking up, guaranteed. I'm calling people different names. It could be a guy I know forever. his name is Johnny, I'll be like, yo, Junior, what's up? This thing, I'm fucked up. I'm fried. Like, I don't, yo, Ching Bin, you fried or no? Yo, he's fried. I'm fried. Fried wants company?

1:02:23But. Why was I saying that right now? Yo, I don't know. Because you fried. Because you fried. Because I'm fried. No, no, but what was I saying just before that? It was something with biscuits. It's biscuits. You know how many millions of people tell me I keep saying Joe Buttons name wrong. They be like, yo, you violating, you know this nigga a million years. Why you calling him Joe Buttons? Because I'm thinking he's Joe Buttons. Right? And they're like, no, people have just said, yo, no, no, no beef. Joe Buttons is my man. They just say... Why are you so insane?

1:03:00I'm trying to tell y 'all, you see, everybody only takes that clip. They don't take the preset up to it. I'm telling you I'm fried. I'm fuck up. I mess up everybody's name. I mess up the lyrics. This is what I do all the time. This is my life. In real life. So it's no disrespect to Joe Budden. Right. So let me just tell y 'all. I'm proud of both of y 'all. They both had other shows that could have gave up. They figured it out. They got together. This is a dope show. Who's the newest, biggest in the game? You got a rookie. Hold on. Look at the EF. Look at the EF. I went there. EF. Do you see the picture?

1:03:42Hold on. Hold on. I got to give a shout out. No, no. Put that down for me. I got to give a shout out to me and EF for being able to tolerate.

Y 'all probably, y 'all starting controversy, but I'm going to be honest with you. No, we ain't starting controversy. Chill, chill, chill, chill. I'm trying to fix it. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm going to be honest with you. It's all clean controversy. It's all clean. It's not messy. You know what I'm saying? I thought the Delusional Records throwing French right there was a little crazy, but it's all clean. Yeah, you said he's the first artist signing Delusional Records.

1:04:31Yeah. You said that? Yeah. Don't apologize to my brother. I don't know where. I'm sorry. Everybody delusional. Yeah. OK? Some motherfuckers saying shit wacky off the wall that we cannot confirm. They're delusional. They're calling me the Cap King Cole.

You know what you got to do? You got to come out with the Captain Crunch cereal and come out like mace with the popcorn and just come out with the Captain Crunch cereal with like mace with the popcorn and just keep eating the Captain Crunch cereal. You'll be, you get ahead of them. You know like how Eminem did? You're ahead of them. You should call it an EP, Captain Crunch. I'm telling you. Roll with it. Roll with the punches.

1:05:15Yeah. I let my watch talk to me. She talk to me. Y 'all fuck for me. Blah! Watch talk for me. He just told you he said it wrong. He just told you he said shit wrong. He called you the wrong name. I meant it in a great way. Like, I don't worry about these people. I know I came from shit. All right. I wiped my ass with the newspaper when I was in the projects. If it was too hot outside, I had no AC. I had to sleep on the floor. All right. My first apartment, I had rats this big. I bought a ferret, they beat that nigga up. Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo, shit! You guys cannot talk to me about poor shit. I'm so sorry.

Y 'all got me sideways fucked up. You can't tell me nothing about no bum nigga shit. I know it all. And so when you trying to break down my confidence to try to this, this, that, you're losing.
