In short
Fat Joe and Jadakiss discuss BET canceling the BET Hip Hop Awards and the Soul Train Awards, will.i.am’s comments comparing Black Thought to Jay-Z, plus Fat Joe’s SummerSlam story involving Jelly Roll.
Guest backgrounds
Fat Joe (Joe Crack) is a veteran Bronx rapper and longtime hip-hop figure who says he worked on the BET Hip Hop Awards for three years. Jadakiss is a veteran East Coast rapper (The Lox) and co-host of the Joe and Jada Show.
Key claims
BET’s cancellations are framed as “gentrification” via underfunding, budget cuts, and staff firings after ownership changes (Bob Johnson selling BET to Viacom/Paramount). They argue the culture loses major platforms when budgets and promotion disappear. They also criticize will.i.am’s “Black Thought vs. Jay-Z” framing as unnecessary “nuclear bombs” in hip-hop debates.
Notable examples
Jelly Roll vs. Logan Paul at SummerSlam (Jelly Roll trained four months; Fat Joe describes Logan Paul’s dominance and Jelly Roll being suplexed/attacked with chairs). They reference classic hip-hop records like “California Love” and “Still Not a Player,” and debate hip-hop’s “best verse” culture.

It's right next to me. He said they definitely not going to believe me.
3:12Yo, yeah, man. You know what it is, Joe and Jayden, man. hip-hop shit for the culture. I was scrolling yesterday. I seen BET's cancelling the BET Hip-Hop Awards and the Soul Train Awards. Now, we all know our people. The BET, the Hip-Hop Awards, so they started switching and I think they let you host it. Three years. Kevin Hart do the last one, so they put a little bit of fluidity back into it, but it was a time when it got like the ratchet awards and nobody was really going and this and that. Then I guess with the passing of Don Cornelius, whoever was in charge of the Soul Train, I guess, I don't know, slipped.
4:01It didn't have the same fluidity as it had other years, you know, prior to before he passed. So now they're just canceling it. That's like a loss for the culture. What'd you say? You want me to say? You just explain what it would do you want you to say? I just gave you the thing. I got a different approach, man. And my approach is factual. BET, this is a form of gentrification what's going on right now. So I don't know if y 'all really want to ask me about this shit right here, right? So BET came up as a community station for black people, right? Urban culture. and our man, what is Bob Johnson, took the check he sold it, first black billionaire, whatever the case may be he sold it, he sold it to Viacom and Paramount MTV and them VH1 and them little by little over the years quietly, they've been firing a lot of people behind the scenes in BET and everybody you ask something, say they've been firing them and this and this and that.
5:13And I know because I've been working on the BET Hip Hop Awards for three years, shit was like the budget, not for me, but the budget just kept getting chopped and chopped and chopped. And last year, I debuted my single with Khaled in the VMAs and Katy Perry still flying through the air in the VMAs. They still blowing out of the cannons. They still flying in the air. They still got all the tricks. They still got the budgets. They got the shit, you know. And so I think in the entertainment world, I don't think I know this was like a form of gentrification. They kept underfunding them, underfunding them, underfunding them.
5:58And you ain't got no money to be creative. That's why you was watching the Ratchet Awards and all that. They ain't had no bread. Last year we shot the last joint and I am so - They have bread for what they want to have bread for. I'm so honored for the opportunity, Connie Orlando and the whole crew, to let me host. That was one of the biggest things I ever wanted to do in my life. You know, I look up, if I never told you, I look up to a Steve Harvey. So Steve Harvey's my guy at media that I want to be like. And so, you know, that made me feel like I was Steve Harvey at hip hop and trying to keep it consistent.
6:35But I saw what they did to him. They just stopped the budgets. They started arrest, uh, firing. I almost said arrested. They started firing a bunch of people who brought a lot to the table. And now we're left with, guess what? This ain't working, but nothing without no money, no promotions, no staff, no, nothing works. It just don't work. You might as well have called it the independent awards. And so no soul train, no BT awards. but guess what? We got the VMAs. Those ain't for us. Well, you got, you know, I'm just, I'm being honest with you. I love the VMAs too. I got the VMAs. I love the VMAs too, but the point is that's your answer in a nutshell.
7:21That's what happened. So they left us with one award. That ain't really ours anyway. Yeah, but they got the, I think the main BET awards. No, the BET regular awards is still there. Yeah. That's still a little topsy-turvy. Oh, no, that's a little, that's a second away. The writing's on the wall. If you see everything else falling down as a domino, that's the next one. One little fumble by Kevin Hart. One little joke, too many. That shit over, too. And so that's what it is. You know, sometimes, you know, and I got a lot of friends at VMAs and MTV, and I love you guys. But, you know, sometimes the goal is to buy your project to suppress you.
8:08You know what I'm saying? So the goal is, yo, some big company might come and be like, yo, we want to buy Rewind the 10th. Throw us the billy. And then, like, shut it down. Like, yo, this shit got to go. We got to keep this thing moving. Who knows? That's just our take on Joe and Jada. Yeah. Save hip hop. Save hip hop. Save the awards. Let's go. Save your money.
8:44Yeah, yeah, what up, y 'all? It's your boy Joe Crack. It's your boy Jada. You know what it is, the Joe and Jada Show. Another episode of greatness, ladies and gentlemen.

You know, I could tell I'm getting old because, you know, I'm a big news head. So I watch Eyewitness News all the time. That makes you sad. You can't watch that shit. No, no. I watch it. I digest that for the beginning of time, but when the announcers start looking mad old, the people I've been watching for 20 years and all that, they just start looking mad old.
14:00That means we getting old. Right? Because we was watching them when they was young and we was young. All of a sudden, they looking prehistoric. This shit out of control. No, I'm telling you, you ever see somebody dead alive stuck in the face nah stuck in the face different no no like when you ever see somebody you're like oh shit is she dead or not like I've been in airports wherever when you look at them and you be like damn it he look dead but he alive they about to go I guess that's how you could tell they about to go right cause it's like You never seen that? He alive. How many everybody seen that?
14:44I seen dead people. Like the same. Alive. That's alive, yeah. Then you look at them and you're like, oh, he about to go. Or she about to go. His color ain't right. There's a couple rappers that look dead. That's a lot. Couple rappers? Oh, yeah. Your algorithm is off you. Nah, nah, nah. You ain't looking that niggas? Yo, let me. Yo, let me tell you something. We got a lot of stuff to talk about. But I want to ask you, because I was thinking about it the other day, crack in the 80s. I was a little kid in the 80s, really. But you're seeing what it did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It disrupted households. It was everywhere.
15:24You couldn't escape it. It was in your family. It was outside your crib. It was on the way to school. It was in the school. It was the teachers was on it. Friends, family, family members. It was crazy. It was everywhere. It was an epidemic for real. I believe, and by the way, I've never seen snowfall. OJ, crack in the 80s. What type of time are you on? Bro, we of a certain age that we could explain to the youth what it was like. So they don't fall for the okie-dokie now. It's opioids now, crack. It's opioids, but it's still the same effect. Listen to what I'm saying. because crack in the 80s it first caught the fly guys in the room they start smoking rulers in the club free bass with the weed boom the fly guy like in other words me and you might have been smoking crack if it came out now we ain't no no I'm just listen this is why I'm trying to you wake me You be with me.
16:32Shout out to my nigga Crossy Fiso. You be with me. Listen. I ain't hitting that man-made, crack. Let me explain something to you. The way they did it to the hood was it attacked the fly guys first. The hustlers, the stick-up kids, guys robbing banks, this, that. It was fly. Crack was fly. You spent a little$50 and you thought, imagine. Imagine, yo. This is where our age difference. I don't know. I'm sure you came a little after. I miss when it was fly. This is why. I wasn't there for when it was. This is why I'm bringing it up. All right, I'm missing it. I'm a student in this. This is why I bring it up.
17:09I went on vacation with Nori. And Nori cracked open some weed that was$100 a joint. Some crazy shit. To me, that's crazy. If I don't smoke. For a guy like me, a virgin in weed, that's crazy. One joint$100? that's like the Japanese whiskey. They got the thousand dollar ounces. So my point is at that time all the guys that had money was fly. They had records like bass or rock. Baby. The biggest rappers at the time were singing about the shit so they thought they was fly but they didn't know that they was getting hit with that addiction. that's so unbelievable, right? So crack actually was so addictive, it was almost like AI, man.
18:03We can't even believe AI. When you see AI and they be on Instagram, these girls ain't even girls, they're AI. They selling you drugs, pharmacy, everything on Instagram and all social media, AI. That's how crack's addiction was. They'd never seen it before. So you can't even really blame the first guys and girls who got hooked on crack. Now, if you're talking about your era 10 years later, you smoke crack. You know, it fucked everybody up. They selling their TVs. You played yourself. That's what I saw. TVs for sale. Microwave. I saw that, too. I seen. I seen. Yo, I had a woman in my building. That I promise you, if I do the knowledge, she was at least if she wasn't a wife, she was the side chick to an NBA player for sure.
18:55She was that bad in my building. She had three kids. Her kids were beautiful. It's a respectable woman. And she turned into a crackhead. And everybody who dreamed about smashing wound up smashing for a couple of cracks. It was that horrible, you know, and so much of an addiction. You know, I don't use drugs. never have used drugs in any way. Right? Diet Pepsi's enough. Diet Pepsi, yo, that's my choice of drug. You know how many of my friends I see gamble and they be like, they bet that the guy scores 14. May is here. He bet 10 ,000 the guy scored 14. They took him out the game with 12. That's a drug.
19:41Yeah. Huh? Talk to me. That's a drug. Some people smoke crack. Some people smoke, sniff coke. Some people got the Doocy Doocy B, the pink Coke, the opioids, the this, this. I drink Diet Pepsi. That's the least drug of choice, right? But my point is, something that bugs me, even a guy like me, who I don't see me being in any type of loop, who knows, of me ever becoming drug addicted, right? But ain't it scary if you think about this A normal human out there That there's something out there That's so addictive That it could fuck your whole world up Your whole life up You just gotta try it You know Scott Storch 90 million And one year he spent 90 million dollars And he told me when he tried that For the first time That it was like it's something so addictive in this world that if it hits you you're done that's not scary you ever thought about that no I'm fucking crazy I'm the only motherfucker to think about some shit like this no I'm scared I'm telling you I'm scared when you see Fat Joe never high and all that I might like this shit that's why I don't do it you guys don't do it because I know people who have tried it one time in their life and it fucked their whole life up.
21:18Same shit with one of them guys. What's Alec Baldwin's brother? What's my man? Stephen Baldwin said Madonna gave the shit to him. He was having a menage. Same thing with Scott Storch. They was having a menage and the girl said, yeah, let's do it. Do the shit. And Stephen Baldwin said the same shit. He took one sniff and was like, You know, the addiction ain't for everybody. It hit different people a different way. Fuck this whole life up. Some mean albums out there. Oh, you going album mode? Okay, I talk about life. Yeah. Raekwon's album, Fire. Raekwon the Chef. Freddie Gibbs album with Alchemist.
22:00Shit is crack. Man, that's crazy. Freddie Gibbs' Alchemist album is really, really crazy. Raekwon, I love what Nas is doing, throwing out those clasps. You heard that new Ghostface song? Ghostface single, crazy. He dumbed out. My favorite Wu-Tang member. Who's your favorite Wu-Tang member? You don't want to answer, huh? You got to have a favorite. All of them. You ain't got a favorite? All of them. My favorite Wu-Tang member is Ray Korn, the chef. I just love his delivery. I love everything he's staying for, the shit he was talking about. He was like the drug dealer Wu-Tang member. You know what I'm saying?
22:40And me, you know, I've always been in that street, that paraphernalia, you know what I'm saying? So I could always relate to Ray more than everybody. And everybody else is Phenom. Some people say Inspector Deck. Some people say U-Guard. Some people say... All of them, my brother. So we're going to say that Freddie Gers' Alchemist album is Phenom. Alchemist hit me up and said, thank us for bigging him up when we all picked him as one of our top beats that we ever rapped to. That's my brother Al. You know what I mean? Yo, let me tell you something. Yeah, yeah. The new Mon V album is finished too.
23:26Shout out to Al.
23:34Yo, 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?

And it's shit always in like, uh, a cooking channel or some shit. This shit, you gotta fight the TV to watch real TV. Now it comes on, on that bullshit on the hub bullshit fucking channel, man. Why? Is that smart? Like, are they forcing people to watch WAC TV? The other day I get in the hotel, I'm like, it's the Waldorf Astoria in fucking L.A. I'm trying to watch CNN. I can't watch it because they got the bullshit channels on it. Samsung bullshit. I'm like, not the Waldorf.
27:37With this bullshit over here, like the bullshit channel. Yo, listen, the bottom line is no one should trust no one. Right? How do you know if you... you can't trust a new, will you trust a new person? I don't need no new people in my life at this point. I agree, but can you trust a new, like everybody around me been with me 30 years. Okay. Shit like that, because if you look at regular people, right, just regular people, they don't trust. So if you ever notice you be on a plane, because you're on the plane, I can land the fucking plane pretty much. I'm so scared of the fucking plane. I know everything.
28:18The short landing strip. I know. I know. I know everything about the plane. I'm so terrified. I've studied everything. Do you notice that when the pilot comes out to use the bathroom? The airlines don't even trust the pilot to be alone in the plane. They get the fucking stewardess to put the car to go in there, put the car, but go in there. Somebody goes in there while he used the bathroom. The lady or the guy goes inside to sit with the other pilot because they scared this guy might play suicide and kill everybody. The fucking government, the plane people, they don't trust nobody. You never noticed that, right?
28:57They don't trust that somebody going to go in there with a fucking weapon. No, I'm talking about they don't even want the pilot alone. There was a pilot that just there was an airplane that just crashed. Air India 767. That's the biggest plane in the world, most safest. Pilot, the last thing he said was, yo, why you cut off the fuel? He asked the other pilot, yo, why you cut off the fuel? That's the only way that plane's going to crash. So his men want to commit suicide with 300, 400 people. That's the point is we can't trust nobody. So one of them Jeopardy's, they put what's the address of Cedric Avenue 1515.

29:34your normal person, your normal moms, your normal school teacher or somebody like that, they wouldn't really technically know that was the birthplace of hip hop. So that's justified. You know what I'm saying? But it's up to us to explain that. There's one of the biggest birthplace of hip hop, Kool Herc, threw them parties there and it became legendary. You know, hip hop started in three different areas. So it started there. It started in Bronx River. Then it started in my hood, too. So at three, at three. Yo, I'm not. Yo, Kiss, what do you want me to say to you? You want me to tell you? I mean, Shot Rock, the first female MC, is from my block.
30:21Little Rodney C. Ruby Dee, the first Latino MC, is from my block. Melly Mel is from my block. Lovebug Stossie is from my block. or Grandmaster Flash used to play 23 Park. Like, I'm from the Mecca, the soil. There's no... So, you know, whenever anybody tries to start some hip-hop shit, they just can't. I'm from there. I'm sorry for you. Is it Cedric or is it your block? No, no, no. It started in three different places. Cedric is where Kool Herc is from, and we acknowledge that as the birthplace of hip-hop, but it started three different... is Band Barter, is Flash, and it's Cool Hurt. Those are the three founding fathers of hip hop.
31:03And it started out in them three areas in the Bronx. I happen to be from one of the areas where the biggest guys ever did it, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. You know, one day I'm watching Melly Mel playing basketball across the street from my house, and the next day he's doing Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan at the Grammys beat. You know, I seen them when they all got the whole Furious Five got their first, they got their first white 190 Benzes and they pulled up to my block back to back on them shits like this. And I'm watching it as a little kid. Like, you know, I'm really from that. That's not even what you made me go there because you put the cat face.
31:43It's not cat. There's nothing I could do. I'm sorry. I was born there. The Mecca. But 1515 Sedgwick. That's Melly. Melly's saying Shaka Khan. Yeah, Shaka Khan. I want to get you sucker con. I want to get you sucker con. That's Melly Mel. Huh? 1520 Cedric Avenue? Okay, I'm five paces off. But the thing is, that's across the street from River Park Towers. That's one way in, one way out. They throw them fucking refrigerators at you off the roof again. River Park Towers? That shit, be lucky to go in and come out. that's not don't go see some girl at river park towns you ain't coming out that's a different type of thing but yo jay the man will i am says that black thought is a trillion times this is hip-hop we gotta discuss this jayda he's one trillion times better than jay-z that's how he feels.
32:47Where you want me to elaborate on how that man feels? So that's it. You just say that's how he feels. That's that. Yeah, I came from where you mind your business. You know what I'm saying? I was taught to mind my business. Me personally, I let the facts be the facts and I let the history determine itself. You had your shot to make hits, to be the biggest in the game. She was a model for a year and a half. I had my shot. We all had our shot at who's the best rapper, who's the biggest rap in the game. The roots played and are still playing an integral part of hip hop. Right. They also crossed up.
33:37They're like J.B. Smooth. You know, they hooked up with the Jewish white guy and they got, they got the lick. They in like they could do, bar mitzvahs and all the white joints. All I'm going to tell you is you're never going to hear a rapper say fucking Coldplay's a million times better than Black Eyed Peas. They put that out there, and that's the reason the hip-hop is hanging on a string, because they fucking making everybody go against each other for no reason. Just for small talk and clicks and get the most traffic to your thing. If that's how he feels, fuck it, that's how he feels. but there's no way on Google you can Google, chat, GBT, whatever, whoever the fuck you want.
34:23You're not going to find Hove or Black Dot. No way of saying the Backstreet Boys is a trillion times better than NSYNC. Leave our fucking culture alone. That's my opinion, too. Because you're starting off some shit and then he's going to go be in a state-of-the-art to heels somewhere, making cars. Just don't do that. What's called for them? If you feel like that, that's fine. But we need no more nuclear bombs set off in hip hop unless it's called for. A billion, this guy's a rich tech. He makes cars. He gonna go on an interview and just say, I mean, that's his thoughts cool, but we don't need them.
35:08Think about it. Find me somewhere where a prolific rapper went somewhere and said, this guy's better than Will.I.M. a trillion times. Well, if I say it, right, if you say it, you can't say it yourself anyway because even the time LL Cool J's invented GOAT was one of the GOATs. But when he said I'm better than everybody or he said some statement like I'm the greatest. If somebody says it about themselves is different than somebody, for one, that ain't. The type of music you do ain't even our type of music to just go up there and just put two people against it. He almost lined up Black Thought, huh?
35:51Like if you think about it. He lined up everything because what the fuck do I got to do with it? Even if that's his thoughts. Save it to your fucking self. I'm going to move on from there because he might have stopped the bombshell or nuclear, whatever the case may be. Yeah, thank you for... The more we put lighter fluid on it, the more it goes. Let that shit go down. They both great. There's a difference between fucking up and being fucked up. Definitely. You know, I sit with my sisters. I sat down the other day, had dinner with our sister Mary J. MJ. And all of them. And, you know, I don't think I bother them.
36:39I was just hungry. So I was like, yo, where y 'all at? They were like, yo, yeah, I'm pulling up. I got to eat some shit, right? But when I had these conversations with the women, you know, beautiful conversations, but she said there's a difference between fucking up and being fucked up. You can fuck up. That don't mean you fucked up. Which one you rather be? Man, listen. You rather fuck up or you rather be fucked up? It depends on what level of. I'd rather fuck up. You rather fuck up? to fix that and you learn from your lesson being fucked up is no good no bueno. We in the world of is it just me or we in a weird time in life right like I feel like everybody's doing bad financially we've seen the jobs report the other day was like 14 ,000 jobs in a month you know if Biden did less than a half a million a month they was like it's the end of earth motherfucker got 7 ,000 a month 14, 17 I mean, if the numbers are correct, people doing fucked up out here.
37:44I got my mom's dad a condo today. I saw that, man. That was beautiful, man. You know, that was the best thing I ever did for my mother and father. I bought them a house. And I remember when I went through the tax thing and I realized that my accountant wasn't paying mortgages. When I first heard it, I was more worried about my mother and father's house than I was even mine. I was like, yo, they could come take my mother's house, my father's house. So it must be a beautiful feeling, purchase something for mom and dad. It's beautiful, man. It's a blessing. You know what I mean? That we can't take for granted.
38:19It's something you, as a little kid, that's something you wish you could always do. You know, I love that. You know, Denzel Washington, I can't quote him, but he was saying, sometimes families don't understand, your own family don't understand when you're trying to win and overcome a generational curse. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? And your own family won't understand that you trying to get to the promised land. You know, financially, generationally. Because I think that's the game we plan. We trying to lay it down so whoever comes behind us got a better plan for you. They can afford college.
39:00They can afford whatever they want. They ain't got to live in the projects no more. Facts. and me growing up in the projects, such a big family, like I can't do something for everybody. I actually think I have done something for everybody in my family different times. But there's a cousin of mine that's probably a third cousin that lives in the projects in the Lower East Side that I barely even know. I might know they moms, that people are telling them, yo, you Fat Joe's cousin. You're supposed to be in the big house. they do it to our friends they'll do it to your friends your friends wives or girlfriends are telling them yo why you ain't got that them boys got it that's your man you know him stay away from them and that's the difference of how far does that go to survivor's guilt or to success rest in peace the hit man Howie T did you know I never met Howie T, but I always respected his contributions to hip hop.
40:09Howie T, though. I've always been jealous of people with their own theme song. So I'm telling you, Tommy Mottola just asked me to do his documentary. And they were asking me, yo, what about it? And I was like, yo, Tommy Mottola lives on the road. Like, imagine they made a hit record about you that they're playing all over the world. Like Howie T. When I tell you that shit was wavy, when he had the Howie T. Oh, whoa, whoa. Howie T. That shit was crazy. Some of the groups, James, Special Ed, Chubb Rock. He did Salt and Pepper. It's probably his biggest group. But Color Me Bad, That was like the white.
41:01Howie T. Herbie. That was Herbie's Salt-N-Pepa? Yeah. Howie T. did. Sweet tea. He did sweet tea, too. He did sweet tea, too, right? But Howie T., living legend. He should get all the flowers he deserves. Definitely. Rest in peace and prayers and condolences to his family. You know, I always get surprised when somebody passes away in hip-hop that I never met. Yeah, me too, because you met everybody. I met everybody. I feel weird when I ain't meet them. You know who else met everybody? Busta Rhymes. Yeah, shout out to Busta. He got a star on the Walk of Fame, man. He deserved that. I seen the picture with him and LL.
41:47That was fire. Beyond that. They won the last two. I mean, LL is the first. For our era that's left. and Buster. We did something. Then you coupled them right behind them. Am I coming with the Euro or I'm coming with the, yo, this motherfucker. You got a new, your shit ain't the Euro, no, because it's the first. It's the fluidity. I got to get a new name for your step. Yo, no, no, I like that one, but you know, Buster Moms, leaders in the new school, shout out to Long Island. They claim them too. I know he says he's from Brooklyn. He grew up in Brooklyn, went to school with Big E and Jay-Z. But Long Island claims him.
42:34And Keith Murray, I missed a big one. Keith Murray and the Long Island's kid. Keith Murray's not just an incredible rapper. He's one of my brothers. So I'm sorry if I messed up and I missed out with Keith Murray. People were saying MF Doom. A lot of people, you know, it just was amazing, their contribution. Let's talk about Jersey now. Jersey. We're going to get some unsung heroes. Salute the legends of Jersey. Y 'all got to stop. I think we got Jersey. Let's salute Jersey, man. Red Man. Queen Latifah. Naughty by Nature. Lords of the Underground. Artifacts. Wyclef. Pras. Sugar Hill. Fetty Wap.
43:19Joe Buttons. Ransom. Chill Rob G. Rod Digger. Outsiders. Hurricane G. Apache. Redhead Kingpin. Redhead Kingpin. Come on, man. I'm leaving niggas out. Don't leave niggas out. Club Zanzibar. Lords of the Underground. Poor Righteous Teachers. Shaq. Yes. Shaq, for Righteous T, let's go. The whole jersey salute. Naughty by nature, Tretch. Tretch is an unsung hero. You said Tretch. Yeah, but let's try to break it down, though. You just want to run through the list like that. Let's go. I think Redman... I follow your lead. I think Redman is the most underrated MC ever lived in a hip-hop game. Hell no.
44:14I think it's not about Redman. It would be crazy. Yeah, but they don't know about Redman the way they know about Redman. But maybe me and you know about the food. Nah, nah. So you think a random commercialized... And they know about Redman. They know about Redman. You know about hip hop, you fucking know about Redman. And they don't give him his props. It's impossible. Redman was so good. Who is they? I'm talking about they. I don't know who they is. They don't want us to win. They don't want us... They, they. Nah, they get Redman as that nigga, though. Hypothetically speaking. Kidding me. Redgie is that nigga, though.
44:49I agree so I'm just trying to say I think he's one of the greatest MCs of all time he's just my point is his name should be up there when everybody's top 10 top 5 whatever they want to do he's that good right Queen Latifah iconic legendary there's nothing we can do about that that's legendary Just put her up there on, just put her on a lot of Rushmore's of all type of shit. Different umbrellas of Rushmore's. You know what he by nature? They had the game in the frizzy. Rip shit. Oh, hey. Vinny KG. KG went on to produce a lot of - Shaheem, Shahnau. Shahnau. He had all of the dudes rocking. Next.
45:44Next. Next is one of my favorite groups. Right? Shout out to RL. RL. The Outsiders, I put them into the equation because they're the first people I ever seen bring Eminem out. Fatal Hussein, rest in peace. Fatal Hussein. That was crazy to me, right? One day we got an interview, Muta Bell on here, from the Outsiders, and explained how did the Tupac, Were they cousins or something? Because he's LA. The outlaws. The outlaws. Fader Hussein. That was my man. What I'm saying is, when they beef in the East Coast, West Coast, it's crazy that the guys who's on all the ill records with pockets from Jersey.
46:33How did that happen? Did they meet him in LA? How did that go down? Like, this is the East Coast, West Coast beef. And these guys was from right here under the nose of New York, Jersey. And so, uh, who else we got on that list for Jersey, we said. Paul Wright's teaching was incredible. Fetty Wap, Joe Rob G, Rob Higgins, Fetty Wap, Sugar Hill Gang, Wyclef, Lauren, Brian Hill, greatest female of all time. I don't care what you say. You know, sometimes people get mad because certain artists are put in a level of it ain't even artists. People say, who's your top five? You bring up Lauren, they might be like, yo, she don't even count, but she does count.
47:27Right? I made a mistake. Why wouldn't she count? She's the greatest of all time. Some people say she don't count. They got to get out of here. She counts. But they think she's the cheat code. She's the AI. So what I'm saying is, the other day, I take the top five DJs. Top five DJs. With Khaled, I threw him in that category. I was like, yo, Khaled too big. They even call him a DJ. They didn't piss kick him pre-off with that. Why? Because he wanted to big up Khaled. I don't even know what he's pissed off about. I put him first on the list. I'm going to stop bigging niggas up. No, it's like two or three guys that I bigged up.
48:16And they wind up dissing me. And I'm like sitting here like, yo, like I'm bigging you up. But Khaled definitely would have been on my top five DJ list. You know, but when I look at Khaled, I always look at him as his catalog. It's so big. Man, DJ Khaled. His catalog is so big. I feel like it's so much bigger than just DJing. When you a DJ and you got a DJ, shout out to DJ Nasty from Orlando. When Khaled doesn't show, he got a DJ. He don't DJ. He has a DJ. Yeah, when you a DJ with a DJ, hello? Let's go DJ. Let's go DJ. But there's certain people on that list. Doghouse got a doghouse. Chill Rob G.
49:08That's one of the most classic. It's getting. It's getting kind of hectic. SP put me on the Chill Rob G in high school. SP used to love Chill Rob G. He put me on. He was nice. He was nice. He was dope. And he had a big commercial hit. I got the power. It was Chill Rob G. Who else? They had two versions. How did they have it? Imagine you did YJ to one of this and to that. And somebody else got the same song, same beat. How did that happen? It was two I Got the Powers at the same time. Video music, but I played both of them. How did that happen? One Chill Rob G and one the other. I think it was Snap.
49:53CNC Music Factory. They were both hits at the same fucking time. Same beat. Same song. I Got the Power. How did they pull that shit off? That must have been before Clearing Samples, huh? Sports talk, man. Gilbert Arenas got arrested. What the fuck is going on? Oh. It's like it right here, dog. Yo! What the fuck is going on with these ballplayers? What's my man, Bridges? He's still in the fucking NBA, the two twins. Morris. What? Morris. He got locked up, too. I think that was a mistake. Huh? I think Gil's shit wasn't as big as they, you know, I don't think it was. He got locked up by the feds.
50:44But he also got out. And I think twin, I think twin, that was a mistake too. Like, I think that was a mistake. He got the money. It don't make sense to you, right? Yeah, he got the, sometimes. So that was my immediate reaction of like. Things like that happen in a casino. And then because you black, they make it bigger. Let me explain some of you. I hate to burst your bubble. I'm not going to burst my bubble. I don't owe nobody nothing. Yeah. I hate to burst your bubble. God willing, I'm wrong. But I've seen this play out. These illegal gambling spots and somebody who's famous is involved in all that.
51:24They usually get a year in the day. They could do a year in the day. Okay, I'm just going to tell you that. When I see them stories, I know how that shit play out. and they came and got you, you know, 99 out of 100 times. When them alphabet letters come to that front door, your best choice is saying, okay, let's see what's the least time we're going to get. Unfortunately, it's like that. Now, if you want to be Robin Hood and think you can take them on and beat them and you're lucky enough or whatever, but these are terrible I just don't wish that for them I wish it never happened whatever it is I hope it's a mistake like you say cause it's crazy it's not the feds with twin and Gil said he's snitching he said he's snitching it's jokes man you be alright Rich how you feel about Jerry Jones don't want to pay Micah Parsons what you think Rich Mr.
52:28Dallas Cowboy How you feel about that? It's not as straight. He's down there on the staff at Dallas. We got it. Definitely. They paid your man with the real stinky leg. What's your man? Dak Prescott. Dak got one of them. What? His shit is like hybrid glazing. Yo. His shit. I put up a picture one time. I was about to get canceled. That boy got the leg. What? That boy broke his leg one time. His shit was like hubbacraffing me. Like, made me look like a perfect leg. His shit. Perfect leg. His shit. I posted it. When I tell you the death threats I got, like, yo, you know, this shit was quick. He's a fraud.

I guess we ain't get anybody. We ain't getting to feel best. The sad part, you know he's a handsome guy. They market him. Stoney. They don't wanna win games? Nah. Not with him. I don't see that. And then Parsons, who's worth the money, they're giving them a hard time. You know what you got to understand is this is almost like the government. Right? There's people this government does some things that although we're proud Americans and we vote and we pack taxpayers and all that we don't agree with but we can't change it.
54:13They're the government. It's the same thing with the owners of franchises. Jerry Jones anybody in their right mind who's a fucking Dallas Cowboy fan knows pay that man. Stop playing with him. Because you don't want to lose him, right? Worldwide West sends his love. Big shout out to West. We love you, baby.
54:42Yo, 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 your 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.

But in true WWE fashion, he gets to the tip. He turns around, he starts looking, and they're like, Jelly, Jelly.

Yo, this man, it didn't take long for this man to get in the system. The joint skis on the court. That's the funniest shit I ever heard in my life. I thought you meant like they had Dykeman throwing joints at Luca. No, no, like joints. Like marijuana. Yeah, pre-robes. Not pre-robes. They throwing joint skis on the court. Lime green joint skis. Oh, why they lime green? I don't know where they got the color away from.

Yeah, that was a$9 ,000 back. that's a Canadian border conversation there let me tell you something nobody bigger than the program nobody is bigger than the program and when people start thinking they bigger than the program that's when they disappear you know and even I me I've had the conversation because people look at me like I'm the leader of my crew But I've had the conversation with guys in my crew where I say, nobody's bigger than the program. Even Fat Joe is accessible. If I, for some reason, I'm out of here, you know, the show goes on.
1:10:08I ain't just talking about rap. I'm just talking about in life. And so people get confused thinking they bigger than the program. Like, yeah, your contributions is incredible. Yeah, we appreciate what you do. I mean, if you want to be tough, we got 30 tough guys. What you feel about people when they start thinking they bigger than the program? Come on, deal with them. Let God sort them out. Kill them and then let God sort them out. I love that. Let me get these questions in. Yeah, Jade is on one today, boy. Let me tell you so. Yo, by the way, if yesterday's the third, the fourth anniversary of the versus locks and dipset, then today's the anniversary of yesterday's price.
1:11:00It's not today's price.
1:11:06Hello. Hello. We didn't even got to do no questions, dog. That was it. We don't need no questions. We got to end it with that, man. I got to say, shout out, rest in peace to Chubby Baby. No doubt. It was Dipset that moved down to Atlanta because he threw the battery in my back. I went to my store the next day. He was, you know, he was Dipset. So we start talking about this shit. I said, you know what? Let me crack this IG open, pause, and talk about my experience in this because he was so passionate about it that we was going back and forth so much. I said, you know, maybe somebody want to hear about this shit.
1:11:48And the numbers, because I used to do the IG, the numbers was, I don't even know how many, we had hundreds of thousands of people on the live at one time. I never did that before. And while I'm talking my shit, I'll talk about you and I just say, yo, any producer, any promoter that was negotiating with Jadakiss's team last week and didn't book them, just know that yesterday's price is not today's price. Yesterday's price is not today's price. And Superviral, did I cash in on it? I don't know. I don't think I did much of it, but I didn't get merch. I didn't, you know, I thought I could sue somebody.
1:12:34They had a bank company with a dude who was dancing. Yesterday's price is not saying it like me. I said, yo, can I sue him? He was like, look. He was like, you don't own this shit. He was like, damn, I thought we had him. I'm not going to sue somebody of our nature, but you got a bank? White dude with an umbrella? Yesterday's price is not saying that I said, oh, I got him. He was like, no, you can't sue. You know. But it was fun times. Yeah, thank you. Let's get these questions, James. Yesterday's price is not today's price. that phrase right there changed my life. Let me tell you something. And shout out to, uh, what's your tea?
1:13:16Kanye, Kanye sample that started that yesterday. So I had that crack, crack, crack, crack, crack on diet Coke. If I would have told him, it would have been a diet Pepsi, even though I look like a human diet Coke today. You know what I'm saying? Get the questions. Let's go. Yo, this is Brad register from Wildwood, Florida. now residing in Newport News, Virginia. I like what you guys are doing, man. I love y 'all's show. My question is, when you guys were coming up through hip-hop, what was y 'all's favorite show out of your MTV Raps or Rap City? And also, could you guys try to get Fab Five Freddy on the show?
1:13:58Because I know you guys like hearing stories and stuff like that. And he's been around hip-hop for a long time, so I know he got crazy stories. Yo MTV Raps or Rap City? Rap City. Yo MTV Rap. I'm going to disrespect the whole shit and say video music box. Video music box, really. He didn't give us that option. We like the video music box more than both of them. Now, Fab Five Freddy. We need him on the show. From Graffiti, we need Fab Five Freddy on the show. He's real hip-hop. Fab Five Freddy, I think he did the first collab because when I was looking into like, I can't explain it to you any other way.
1:14:37The Bronx was a war zone. Like people live in abandoned buildings. The biggest gang wasn't the Bloods and Crips. It was the Stray Dogs. So when I think about the beginning of hip hop, I can't believe a white girl. Fat Five Freddy's from the Bronx? No, I'm not saying that. Thank the Lord. But it started in the Bronx. Russell Simmons came to the Bronx. They all came to the Bronx. the fever the first night club playing hip-hop is in the Bronx, Salah Botello what I'm trying to say is I never understood the first major collaboration was Blondie I never understood how this white girl had the heart to either go Cedric, Bronx River or my hood and make this song and have rappers on there and then when I went down to like trying to figure out how it happened.
1:15:34Fat Five Freddie made that happen. You know how early he had to be in the game of hip hop to make that song possible? The Blondie? Rapture. That's the beginning of hip hop. So I agree with this brother right here. We need Fat Five Freddie on this show just to keep it. I mean, that's what I think we're doing, preserving the culture. Next question, please. Yo, Jada, this is not a question. Do you remember walking into TGI Fridays in Yonkers at Cross County and buying a girl a Hennessy shot after leaving the hospital? You had a hospital van. That's my newborn baby. That was the coolest thing you've ever done.
1:16:20I was in absolute shock. I said nothing. You said nothing. Bought me a shot of Hennessy and walked out. I love you. One of my favorite rappers. I just have to share that memory with you in case you don't remember that. I have no recollection. I was off anesthesia. He got super love for you. And shout out to Stu Lennon. Stu Lennon and Yonkers, man, they came out for that. So he sat a rum. Puerto Rican rum. They came out about 100. You knew it, right? You told me it was going to be lit. Stu Lennon, Yonkers. What's up, y 'all? Yo, Joe. Yo, Jada. What up, man? your boy ranks a million from the Bronx and all that.
1:16:58I just want to ask, why are DJs and mainstream artists not discovering or breaking new artists no more? They leaving it all to the new artists to do it by themselves, and then they want to help once the up-and-coming artists already did what they needed the help with? I think that's on the individual. I mean, some people don't know how to ask for help. Some people don't know how to offer help. Some people don't know how to do either one. Me, I gave up on helping artists. I'm all out of favors myself. I'm all out of taking every relationship I ever had and signing you and introducing you to all my important people and then paying for your videos, buying your clothes, putting you in the studio, helping you make the hits, and then as soon as you pop, you tell me I ain't shit.
1:17:48I'm not doing that no more. I'm firm on it. In fact, I heard an artist. And I'm going to shout you out. I don't know what your name is. But I went to this thing pretty little. We doing this DJ turntable thing, battle thing. And everybody was in there. And I went to Jersey. And I went down there. And some dude rapped. Who normally I would have signed him in one second. This guy was so nice. Lyrically, fluidly. Every word he said came crystal clear. and after he performed, he came around me and all I could do was say, yo, bro, congratulations. Was I with you or Chris? Chris said, yo, Joe, this guy's incredible.
1:18:33I said, yeah, but he's going to tell me to suck his dick and, you know, he was the biggest in the game before he met me. He's the livest. He knows everything. I'm like, I'm not doing that. I just can't help you no more. I've been burnt too many times, boss. Next question, please. Hey, what's up, y 'all, man? This is DJ Nasson Nate calling straight out of South Florida, man, from Four Miles. Hey, my question is, man, y 'all been doing this so long, but what's the one thing that you wish you would have never did? One thing I wish I never did is gave so many people my phone number. Hmm. You got the same number for, like, 20 years and all that?
1:19:16Recently. I used to change my shit. like socks. What was the question again, James? What's one of the things you wish you never did? Beat so many people up. Certain ones... Should have talked it out. Yeah, yeah. Should have talked it out a few times. It was certain ones that when I look back, I just say it just didn't make sense. And I'm keeping it a buck. It didn't make sense that when I look back at it now, Like, yo, you know what? Because sometimes you beat a guy up and they become martyrs. And people, you know, look at them like, you know, they wasn't even authorized to get beat up. These guys didn't even deserve it.
1:20:02You know, but now they're the guys that Fat Joe and the Terror Squad beat up. And they running around like, yo, that's homie. You know, Fat Joe and them beat them up. Like, too much fluidity for these guys in the hood. They didn't even deserve it. You know what I'm saying? Yo, I'm Joe Crack. Your boy Jada. It's the Joe and Jada. Another legendary episode. Ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate you like, share, subscribe. Word of mouth. Ha ha!
