In short
Hitmaka (producer) discusses how he got his name change from “Youngberg” to “Hitmaker,” his hitmaking process, major producer influences, and wild rap-industry stories. He also talks independence, video budgets, and personal/industry commentary (including a viral Cam Newton “who have you slept with” clip and Ozempic/weight-loss talk).
Guests (and backgrounds)
- Hitmaka (main guest): Miami-based hit producer/record-maker; claims 18 #1 radio records, 27B streams, and 350M+ record sales. Says he’s worked with major artists and references Jermaine Dupri, Kanye, Timbaland, Pharrell, and No I.D. Mentions Circle House studio work and signing/producing for Dream Doll (Bronx artist) and others.
- Hosts: Joe Crack the Don and Jada (podcast hosts). They introduce Hitmaka and steer conversation with rap-industry questions and banter.
Key claims
- “Hitmaker” is tied to a name-change suggestion from Rico Love; Hitmaka says Rico Love helped prompt the change.
- He claims his method is studio lock-in (“night and day,” “don’t change your clothes”) and that artists come to him for finished hits.
- He argues producers can’t “cheat the game” and emphasizes pain/passion and craft.
- He says he went independent after label promotion failures and spent about $400,000 on a video to maintain his “Fat Joe image.”
Notable examples
- Pharrell’s “Happy” energy (Hitmaka says he hasn’t worked with Pharrell yet but wants that sound).
- Timbo vs. Scott Storch “cold” moments; then Timbaland’s “sexy back” turnaround.
- Cam Newton’s viral “who have you fucked” game-show segment (Hitmaka says it was uncomfortable and recycled).
- Rico Love’s “Youngberg” moment at Circle House; Rico introduced “Christian,” which Joe recognized as Youngberg.
- Dream Doll EP planned “top of the year,” with Clue involvement and “crazy features.”

He would never made it to DS without two odds.
2:11Ooh. Thank you.
2:27Yo, what up, y 'all? It's your boy Joe Crack the Don. It's your boy Jada. You know what it is, the Joe and Jada show. Every show legendary. Every show iconic. And we never not deliver. Speaking of delivery, our next guest, I knew him for years. Since he living in Miami now, I knew him since he was a jit. How they say now, Nick. You know what I mean? I watched him. You know what I mean? He was part of my family. He's still part of my family. Then he grew on to do his own things. Ever since then, he just been collecting plaques, collecting diamonds, buying property, buying Rolls Royces. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for my man, Hitmaker.
3:11Yes, sir.
3:16Somebody I could say in this industry of fakers and vultures and pieces of shits. one guy could say who's really loyal. Don't get mistaken by him. You know, every interview, he bound to say some shit today. Right? Every interview, he go crazy. You might think he just talks shit, but this man is a loyal guy. The one and only hit maker. Yes, sir. Yo, Hit, let me tell you something. You know when I'm sitting there and I'm looking at all them diamonds and shit?
3:51No. I never told you, but I'll be watching you because, you know, I got serious collections and I see you, man. If I got a watch nobody could get that's cost a house in Atlanta, he pull up a month later and be like, yo, a new one. Every sit, every watch, he'll bust that bitch out and be like, yeah, yeah. I'm taking it as flattery, but I'm also happy that I see my brother come up and do what he like to do. the problem I got with Hitmaker oh shit it's not gonna be a problem I'm on your side you got your flag already I'm on your side get ready but in this game it ain't no cheating the game and some artists think they could cheat the game you gotta go in that studio you gotta let your life out you gotta put in that pain that passion you don't know how many artists some of y 'all call Hitmaker for me you gonna give me a hit like you come across that right everybody who sit down think you're giving them a free hit right for sure i mean ain't nothing to free my brother only for y 'all you know what i mean is they don't want to put in that pain stay in that studio night and day don't change your clothes this this this that's how i'm accustomed to making hits for sure you locked yourself in six months and you in there every day and you don't come out, you don't give a fuck.
5:18The most you do is watch a game. You come out with some hits. I've heard more than 20 different artists that I respect and I know tell me, yo, I'ma just go see Hitmaker and get a hit. They think it's like that. It is like that though. I'm the walking, talking Chico. Like I go to the studio. I give BB hell at Circle House six days a week. I go there and work until I can't work no more. So I'm ready to drive home. And then the reality is when you come see me, you come get a hit. You don't, I don't play beats. I'm playing you a smash. You fill in the blanks. You go do what you need to do. It's the alley-oop of all alley-oops when you come see me.
5:57So that's why people be like, I've heard executives say like, man, like you ain't no real A &R. You just sent your artist to hit maker. He did all the A &R shit for you. He got the feature on the song. He got the hook. He got this shit already done. Like what did you do? But I mean, that's why they pay me like 50 grand a record. Man, let me tell you something, man. Now watch it. You come up and man, it's a beautiful thing to see. How many records sold now? 350 something million. I got 18 number ones at radio. 27 billion streams, something like that. I don't know. The only guy I've seen with numbers like that is Jermaine Dupri.
6:39One of my idols. I love them. Who are your idols in doing this? Man, JD. As far as producers, only JD, Kanye, of course, because I'm from Chicago. No ID. Damn. I guess Timbal and Pharrell, round that out, top five. I never worked with Pharrell yet. That's going to be interesting. We finally have a... No. That's going to be interesting. He made Happy in one of the rooms in Circle House that I work in all the time. I'm like, yo, I'm still trying to get that Happy, you know what I'm saying? energy, boy. That was a different type of record. I'm going to tell you some crazy shit, right? This is crazy because I love both of them and they're both beyond historical producers because we're talking producers.
7:22You know, I was there when Timberland went cold and Scott Storch was right next door had cheese lines down the block. Hello, Cool J. This one and that one. Whoever was hot was online because Scott Storch and Timbo was sitting in front of the studio and look at all the rappers act like he wasn't Timbo the King. I watched the same thing happen to Pharrell in Miami when he got cold. I used to go there. He used to be like, yo, Joe, come tell me stories. He has all these stories that I tell on here ahead of time. He knew I was the story king. Yo, tell me your stories. I'm sitting with them when they cold.
8:02Now this guy's running fucking Louis Vuitton, biggest guy, happy, this, this, that. But I remember Timbo. Mm-hmm. He wasn't mad at Scott Storch. He just be like, don't worry. I'm coming with some shit. I'm coming. And then that boy cracked that code. I'm bringing sexy back. Yeah. No, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. Yo. He go, I'm not your mommy, mommy. Mommy, boy. Him and that danger hand. Yes, sir. Salute to me. Change the whole fucking sound. And I'm guilty because, you know, I've been around a long time. Danger Hands came one time to DJ Khaled's studio in the house and played me some beats that were too futuristic for me at the time.
8:48And I was just like, you know, and boy, he turned into Danger Hands. Yo, can I tell you a story? Yes, sir. I think that one New Year's Eve after we did that record, I think that, because you know I'm TS to the death of me. You know what I'm saying? I'm mad I ain't got my TS chain here too. I should have brought it, but I think yo, this man Joe did some shit that was so insane. It was me. It was at DJ Khaled's New Year's Eve party. You invited me. I came with you. It was me, you, Diddy, and Khaled. And this nigga Joe was like, there's Diddy, there's DJ Khaled, and now it's Hitmaker. And if you said that shit, I'm like, Like, damn, that was just like one of the biggest compliments ever.
9:36I think you started beef with me and Khaled right then there at his house, too. Well, he don't have no beef with you. He can't. But what I'm saying to you is you cut from the family tree when it comes to producing and making hits. So I've been a guy that whether I make a dollar with you or not, I'm true to the culture. so if I said that I meant that you know and I'm just letting him know like yo he's coming from that family tree of hit makers you know and you know respect the kid the kid coming up be on the lookout for him and that's what I probably did but beef with Khaled Khaled he has no beef with you no no I'm talking about competitive competitive you know what I'm saying oh no everybody's competitive in this game everybody think the best we just had Wale right there you didn't hear him but he said he's the best.
10:27Very quietly, he was like, you're on the best. He said he's in the top rapper talk. That's what he said. Of all time? No. Yes. He just said, I'm in top rap. He was playing some new music, and he said, I'm in that top rapper talk. Shit feel like that playing this new project. That's why I heard it. You ain't feel no way when he said it? Because it's top five. I don't. No, no. My shit is in cement. My shit's in cement. Shout out my man. Shout out my man, Stevie Jackson. Man, I seen him take a picture. They had a fucking George Floyd statue. George Floyd's bigger than the building. And Steve, you know, he NBA.
11:09He looked like a midget. Damn. I mean, and that was his brother. This guy statued up. For sure. Like, he don't take nothing. The guys that got a... They actually going to make him taller in the statue. You can't. you know we're not worried about that but the man did mumble that shit under his breath and that's his type rapper talk he's supposed to feel, that's what he's supposed to do I guess we all feel that way if you don't you know you should see it I don't think nobody's fucking with me and like I can prove it, I love talking that shit nobody's fucking with me, nobody has more hits in their phone than me right now I will out, there's not a producer walking this planet earth right now one for me and one for my son of course bro, no listen him.
11:52Who you want? Leon Thomas? Who do you want on the hook? I mean, it's here. It's done. It's in my phone right now. Adverse. See what I'm saying? See, the producers, y 'all get a lot of, y 'all dealing with different finances. So, y 'all don't, y 'all competitive nature stays just that. Y 'all see each other buying helicopters and doing, you know what I mean? But coming from the rapid shit is a different thing. But your formula, though, over the past fucking, I don't know how much years. About 10 years. Yeah, you've been hitting them out the park consecutively. And I don't know how that's making people fit.
12:34It should make everybody feel good because it used to be a lot of doors to go to when you making a project. Right. You can be like, yo, the window is closing. Man, they got to feel good about this shit because in reality, bro, like I'm still, I'm Iceberg. I'm Youngberg. It's just I'm hit making now, bro. Like people don't know the long form of my career. Like they got to see it in real time. Like I'm literally like people will be like, I was the nigga that DMX used to go sick on niggas. Like, yo, go get him. I remember rapping with Cassidy and being at Powerhouse while you cutting records and being around PK and Swiss Beats.
13:12Like I got that type of career. And then I became Youngberg on my own thing. Now I'm just like a heavy stepper as hit maker. Like I ain't gonna lie. Like it's hit like astronomical type of different things. You know what I'm saying? I watch you on interviews and you talk about chicks you smash the distance. Yo, you really are transparent out here. I don't lie. I can't lie. You speak very clear. And it's on the Internet that I smash these girls. So when I'm supposed to be in it, Cam Newton asked me some bullshit and he set me up with that. And y 'all know that interview was done eight months ago.
13:44Somebody just recycled that clip and made that shit go viral again. But they set me up with that. Like we did the whole interview. And then at the end, he like, we want to play a game show. And it was almost like, who have you fucked? Like the game show, it should have been the title of it. And he just rapid fire names, names. If y 'all look at the clip, I was kind of uncomfortable when he was asking me, but I'm just like, I just met you an hour ago, Cam. Why you need to know all my bodies. Yeah, man. That man can't. He one of them traitors. Like he's one of those. He hit the chits too. So I don't mean in that way.
14:16I mean like he one of them guys he feel he he hit mad chicks so he he was trying to make sure I ain't hitting none of his work that's really what it was that's exactly what it was yo you couldn't save that for off camera though ain't the thing about you gotta have hats yo you gotta save that off camera right yeah you rather than Max you not off the kids yeah I ain't know where it was going cause I'm gonna be honest yo it did feel lame like I I'm not a kiss and tell type dude yeah shit I mean it's fucked up like that's what the people want.

28:19A force crazy? No, no, no, no, never, never. So I remember I was like in a weird spot in my career, like trying to figure out how I'm feeling. Like, because the whole time when I was young, Berg, I was producing all my records, too. Like, people don't know that. But I was like, man, I was in a weird spot. Rico Love was on Fuego at the time. and so Rico Love, I hit him on Twitter in a DM and he like, yo, come meet me at the London Hotel in LA. I'm in LA. I went up to the London Hotel and we having breakfast and like he on big boy shit. Three phones going, jumping at the same time. He remind me of me right now.
28:57I'm like, golly, like this nigga's insane. So as we eating breakfast, I thought this was like a super like wild move part, not like that, but he was like, yo, what do you think about changing your name? And I'm like, huh? I'm like, nigga, I'm young, bro. I'm more famous than Rico Love. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he said that to me and I was just like, maybe I'll consider that. He like, yo, come to Miami. And he works out the room I work out of now in Circle House. He like, yo, come to Miami. Just vibe with me for a little bit. I came down there. So I walk into Circle House and I think Joe and Rico are doing a record called Aloha, some shit like that or whatever.
29:33The nigga Rico Love said, Fat Joe, he said, Joe, meet my friend Christian. Joe said, nigga, that's Youngberg. Who the fuck is Christian? I'm like, yo. But like that was the evolving. And Rico Love was actually the person who made me change my name in Hitmaker. That's it. Wow. That's it. You know, Rico's my brother. Still love him to this day. He was a little arrogant at that time. He was? Yeah, yeah. He was like cocky as fuck. Like, you know, I walk out the room with artists and they be like, yo, this nigga's cocky. he's like yo but he gonna give you the hit you know my shit it reminds me of what Rico love my brother I love you man God bless it remind me of the night we cut yes we had the song but you just you came in the studio this guy was so drunk bro listen to me man and he made it a hit the way he was chopping it up this this this so everybody came out was like yo Joe the guy spilling champagne on the board.
30:33Them boards cost a half a million. Yes, sir. He's spilling champagne. He out of control. This, this. I said, yo, listen. He's a hit maker. Let this man do whatever he did. The motherfucker, that night you was on your Rick James shit. Yeah. For real. And I was just like telling everybody, yo, just let him do what he gotta do. Sure enough, that was the last hit I dropped. Yes, we got a plaque for that shit. And it was Cool and Dre Studio, and you are loyal to Kool and Dre. So the fact that you even let me touch the record while we was there was like a real thing. And I was wilding Kool and Dre's studio too.
31:10I'm not going to lie to you. You're one guy that didn't grow up with us. He is TS, by the way. He's protected by the almighty. I'm going to be honest with you. Why you want me to do it? He was never made it to DS without two R's. ooh thank you okay what I'm saying is TS TS know how to hate on each other they never hate on this guy every time I'm working on a project he say yo Jerry be like yo you saw Hitmaker I swear to God now there's other producers that I'm cool with and all that they be like yo Joey do that yo Joey this this this they never devalue they always like yo go see that guy started off getting the hate.
31:59I think right now it's undeniable. They can't do that. He stands in... They know when you come from seeing him, the next stop is the charts. You got to spit the right shit to it and you got to do everything. Oh, no, yeah. You can't just go there and not know how to do nothing and ask them for it. You just got to have a knocking beat with a great hook with nothing on it. So many rappers told me, yo. All I got to do is go see Hitmaker. I swear to God, I've heard this out the mouth. Y 'all going to see Hitmaker. Like, man, you better put that pain in. You better make sure that pen is right. You better make sure you appreciate what you got.
32:44You know, somebody I've seen you work with, who I love, and I've watched her career from day one. She from the Bronx, too. I think she could be a superstar's dream doll. Wow. Shout out to Dream. She could be a superstar. I've been waiting for it. Well, I signed Dream Doll, Cats Out The Bag or whatever. Yeah. We got a new project that's done. It's completed. We dropping an EP first. So we dropping an EP first, top of the year. And when I tell you, my brother, she's better than a lot of these girls. Like this music that we have, oh my God. And she has crazy features. The work is done. Project's done.
33:23and I brought back the nostalgia. Like for the EP, we got some shit. Nigga, I put Clue all over it. Clue Manate! Like it's like on some real New York shit. I flipped all the right New York records. Trust me, my brother, she's out of here. She gone. That's what she needed then because I watched her, I didn't even understand it. Like I watched her career the whole time. I'm saying, yo, this girl should be number one. And it's all a matter of linking up with the right producer who got the passion at the right time. I seen her in your studio. I was like, all right, he giving us some shit. Now she got to deliver.
33:56That's it. You say she delivered. She overly delivered. I ain't a producer no more. I'm a professional life changer. And that's really what I'm not going by. There's too many producers out there. So when you come see me. You keep talking to shit, you're going to owe me a gift or something. Brother, you want me to take this? You know when the dog comes to you. You want me to take this off for you? Nah, you're making it sound like you. Nigga, like I need to be seeing what's in the pot over there because the man talking to me. You know what's beautiful? It's only an aux cord away. I like all my friends.
34:23I like gifts. Tell them all. I love it. I got the gifts, man. I'm coming through. Get your iced out Diet Pepsi. Yo. You Ozempic or Diet Pepsi this shit for Halloween? Ozempic. I'm Ozempic every Halloween. I'm Ozempic. I might go with Govi. You know what? I got a problem. I'm going to talk about this because we talking about the world. It's nuts, though. They announced, right? I'm in LA. they announced that Costco, listen clear, guys, because we are the voice of the streets and the culture. Costco now sells Ozempic half the price to anybody who don't have insurance. Oh, wow. Over the counter? It's not true.
35:09I went to the Costco in LA to buy some Ozempic because I left my shit back in Jersey. And they said, that's few places out the country. This is some bullshit. It was all over CNN, all over the news, all over Costco. It's selling Olympic, half price, over the counter. You don't even need insurance. I walked into Costco. LA, y 'all saw me. Y 'all saw me. They didn't have it. They didn't. They was like, no, you need a prescription. No, we don't do that in this Costco. That's false advertisement, guys. Get on your shit. That was your salary. You ever get some? No, I had to come back home and freshen up.
35:53Yo, he say he ain't want to step on Ozempic. He ain't want to. You want the three fat Joes or you want the one fat Joe? Another thing I do as soon as I go out the country, because over here, Ozempic costs$1 ,200. Whoa. Right? With insurance and everything. Shit like blue magic. When I go to Dubai, Santo Domingo, wherever, it costs$320. that's the wildest shit how could an American product cost you could buy this yeah B I buy it $5 ,000,$10 ,000 worth of Ozympic I'm not selling it guys it's for me and whoever needs it somebody ran out of Ozympic they come to my house we toss more supply yo bro I'm surprised the Ozympic I gotta keep everybody sturdy Yo, the old Zempic should stop the Glizzies, though.
36:49But bring it real. How you still got the craving for Glizzies? And you on a Zempi. What I'm trying to tell you. They got to make Glizzies shit.
37:02There's levels to it, man. I got it. There's levels to it. But what I'm saying is, you know, you got it. I am old Zempic for Halloween, once again. You know, that's my outfit. What does it do, though? it just make you not want to eat as much? First of all, I have diabetes. Okay. But I've had it since I'm 12 years old. Okay. Right? So now I've been taking insulin for many, many years. Insulin, you know, you take it daily and it, you know, your pancreas, if we want to get technical, don't let out enough to cover your sugar. So you need insulin to make sure, you know, but they invented an old Zempig that does it once a week.
37:44You don't have to take that shit. That was pretty horrible. Taking insulin twice a day, right? And that's the only way to regulate the sugar. Otherwise you die. So a lot of people that we see that just die, they don't admit to themselves that they're diabetic and they don't take the medicine. And sooner or later that shit gets real and they find no kind of kidney failure distances, whatever. Ozempic regulates that shit like a computer all week long. So if you eat too much, it'll bring down to the normal sugar. If you eat too less, it'll bring it to the normal sugar. it's insane oh shit the the technology in ozempic i'm not gonna lie to you is ai type shit it's insane we've been waiting for that and so it's also the side effect of ozempic is you lose weight i don't think they made it they made it for diabetes but it curbs your appetite to where you lose weight so a lot of people started taking it for diabetes and then you know you got the sexy women want to stay sexy, they like, whack.
38:47Whack. They hit they shit. This shit ain't even the needle. It's the smallest shit. And you could be scared of needles. And still, this shit ain't nothing. Boom, you good for the week. You don't know how many people, like I said, when they come to my house, they can get a bottle of Caymus, Opus One, or a month's supply of old Zemfick on side. Whatever y 'all want to do. You know what I'm saying? they came to my house yesterday. So you know my wife, her best friend, Mary J. Blime. Yeah, of course. Chrissy Jim Jones. All of them, they come, I call them the four muscatettos. Yesterday, I'm home all day.
39:23They came in about 9.30. I thought they was about to start drinking, turning up the music to four in the morning. I'm sitting there like that. They must have seen Grumpy Joe. They was like, all right. We out. We out of here. We out. We're going to the next stop. I was like, this time I'm not telling stories. I'm not, I'm sitting on the couch like,
39:44I don't know if I want to do this tonight 4 in the morning my walls also shout out Vitaly my house is pretty spectacular but the one complaint I would have if I built my house from scratch if I had to build another house I'll make I didn't say nothing I'll make the wall sticker like you know straight concrete where you can't hear shit in every room Right. Sometimes they torture me. We got the super system around every room in the house. And they start, I want to thank you. That shit about four in the morning. I'm sitting up there like, there, I got to take a flight six in the morning. I'm tired as fuck.
40:24Like, this is just me and the dog. You know, the dog's the best friend. A male's best friend. That's Bismarcky? That's the dog? Bismarck died. Damn. We got a dog called Bear. Okay. Barrington. You got a dog called Bismarck? Yeah, Bismarcky. and so we got them for my daughter because that's one of my favorite but anyway the way I got it was my daughter I'll never forget my daughter was like 3 years old and I bought her the dog and I said baby what's his name and she said you know like your friend silly Bismarcky so she named the dog and at that time Bismarcky was popping on the Cartoon Network.
41:10Yo Gabba Gabba. He was yo Gabba Gabba to her. She was like, Mikey, a friend, silly. Biz Markie. Shout out to Biz Markie, another super producer. Biz Mark is a going off. Biz was crazy out there. What's some new projects that you're working on? Whose life you changing now? Everybody. Oh, shit. On Friday, on Friday, Todd Alasson's new album drop. I got probably like four or five records on there. On Friday, my artist, Ronnie, who's sitting over there, his project comes out. It's called Let Me Explain. He's amazing. This guy is like... One of the Spin King's brothers. Yo, you do look like... Yo, yo, yo, yo.
41:52I know like the Spin King family, right? Yo. You look like them, right? He from Long Island. I know they be talking crazy about Long Island. I don't know why. We big him up here. But the guy is amazing. He's an incredible writer. Just someone that I linked up with, and he's a credible artist. And man, we've been working together for a year. He's won a Grammy already. Professional life changer. Top 10 records. He's on everybody's shit. You know how long this nigga been making records? There's just a link with a nigga and you get a Grammy after not even 12 months? That's crazy. You got to lock in.
42:24You know, I mean, Chris Brown, Ty Dolla$ign, all my people that I'm building up with, Tink, Ronnie, Toyin, everybody that's in-house. And then as far as just like everybody that I'm working with, I mean, whoever got an album coming out, I'm on it for the rest of the year. I said a week ago, 50 songs was coming out before the end of the year. Seven came out. On Friday, 21 will come out, and then we'll press it again next Friday. You know I need that pain. Damn! I got you. No, no, but I'm working a new album with no hits. Wait, what? With no hits. What? No comprende? Just pain. Just pause. Just, you got to give me that, oh, I want to hunt you back.
43:04I got it. Shit like that. You know what I'm saying? Just that straight. I just want to come. I just need one hit and my son need one. I got the one with Leon Thomas where you already on deck. And then Jay Wan, I told him to come Miami already. Ain't no more. I'm out of it. This show has become a solicit. This guy, he might as well be called Bistu B. Anybody come sit on that couch. He's like, yo, you gave one a hit. It's fine, Thomas. This is Jay the Kiss. I'm using this job to do my other job. Most definitely. Me and Kiss had a hit with this record called Need Your Best featuring Ty Dolla$2, Def Jam.
43:45COVID. Def Jam dropped the ball. COVID fucked it up. I ain't worried because I already, when I come, when I get next to you. This is my brother. The brain is, you're a genius. You want to know what happened to me? You know, I was signed to a record label. I put out a record that I thought. I didn't think. So similar to you, I'm not a producer, but I make hits. Oh, we know. Monsters. And so the way I was taught was like, yo, Joe, you getting a one shot deal. If it ain't a hit, you ain't going to the next single. You ain't this, this. They kept it real with that. So I trained my ears to almost think like a program director that I knew this was going to play all day.
44:28Long story short, I did a song with Young Jeezy. Slow down, son, you killing him. with the sample. Get here. Ha ha. That was the shit. There's another way you know. Played it one time. Everybody in their mother who had my number call me. A Mike Kaiser. This one. Welcome back, Joe. Like they was giving me the, this was already a number one. Like they heard it one time on the radio was like, that's when they call you. Yeah, Joe, this is, they felt like it was a lean back. The shit ain't do shit. Right? We shot the video Harlem, Diddy on the, he was on the hood of the fucking Rolls Royce we went crazy and I said you know what it's the last time I'm gonna sit at a desk looking at some so called boss asking them if they put did you press the button did you put money did you I knew they ain't put money behind that cause that shit would have been out of here that's when I took power into my own hand and said from now on I'm independent yes and I put up my own money and I paid for my videos I pay for my radio.
45:33I pay for my samples. I pay for everything. And I win. I've never been off the green. I never not won in my whole career. Now, I got records on Atlantic Records where I sold 2 million albums. You still owe them. Damn. I got albums. I put out 100 ,000. Shout out to Gazi. You changed my life. Empire Records. I got albums. I put out, sold 100 ,000 and I made three, four million on that shit. So that is the one record that got me. I will never forget. I'm actually embarrassed to myself for sitting on the other side of the desk begging these dudes, is they going to promote my record? Is they going to spend money?
46:20Damn well they was. I invested in myself. I never took an L, thank God. Can I ask you a question? This is a money conversation because you've said independent, right? Mm-hmm. How much are you spending on these videos? Because you have the most extravagant videos. Yo, bro, when y 'all did Family Ties album, you know these niggas shut down, rest in peace, Irv Gotti, they shut down Club Live. I'm like, how expensive is this? And it wasn't like early daytime, it was like nighttime. And they had the whole Club Live. This is for you, okay? So you can hear me out, right? Because if you feel like you're in a situation with Def Jam that they don't really give a fuck about you or they got new people.
46:59Just saying, you are Jadakiss. You are the brand. You are a hit maker. I am Fat Joe. James is a customer of hip hop. He does not look if I'm on Busby Records or Juan Thalabella, LLC. He's buying the new Fat Joe album. Right? This is where we got to get that fucked up. Right. Like that, they think that it's a label that sold something. No. Now I understood that. And I said, I'm going to go independent. And one thing I really got to do is make sure that the Fat Joe image stays up. So you're correct. I spent$400 ,000 on video. Shut down the lift. The ceiling come down. The fucking mansions. Because you have to look like nothing changed.
47:46That was my whole philosophy. You know, niggas, they go independent. They start shooting in front of the bodega and the baseball park. And it's over. this man went from, from million dollar videos to crack at videos. They know something's wrong here. You got to act like the pure still there. The cut is there. I understood that. And I pray to God that I made the right choice for investing in my career. You did, you know? And so that was the whole point for me. We're going independent, making sure, you know, I looked at a video the other day. I'd see a shout out to Irv Gotti. wrestling because, you know, he was such a genius at doing what you do.
48:27He was a genius. One of my idols. And this guy, he was my go-to for the video. At Irving, nothing cheap. It was$300 ,000,$400 ,000. He'd be in the fucking, the day of the video, he'd be like, meet another$100 ,000, Joe. They charging for this and this and that. Irv don't know cheap. And he'd think like everybody... He was burning a budget. But it was me. It was no budget. So I got to pay this shit.
48:57My name is Arnold Bogarty. And prior to me, I enrolled in Rasmussen to become a nurse. I spent 16 years in the military, 12 in special forces as an army green beret.

You want some asshole shit? Please. I went to the bank every single day for$50 ,000 cash. Had 50 guys with me, 30 of them paid for white Cadillac trucks, everybody TS, state lobster, champagne every day, this, this, this, this.
1:07:33It's disgusting. They been seeing this movie since I'm 14 here, Make Out Here in New York. They are not confused. They know we've been doing this shit forever, right? I go in the bank on 161 by Yankee Stadium one day. I go up in there. Hey, Mr. Joe. I say, hey, what's up with y 'all? I need 50 cash. Something's wrong with the computer or something, Mr. Joe, because there's no money in here. Oh, shit. I walked out that bank like I had a fucking hole in my head, like a dolphin. My shit was going, hmm. I don't know if you ever heard that. You ever heard the ringing? I was knocked out without the punch.
1:08:16I walked out of that shit. I said, we got no money. Like, so I'm thinking it just can't run out. To me,$10 million. I'm thinking it's like a fucking cloud from the sky in a bottle. I walk out of there. I tell my guys, I said, anybody. And I'm sorry, guys, because I did some foul shit. Anybody owe us a dollar. you lift them up upside down and we did it swear to God we did it to friends of ours guys who were our friends who owed me$10 ,000,$15 ,000 we left them upside down to say yo, niggas was calling me like yo Joe, they could have just asked me why you got me dragging, they dragging me out the restaurant butt naked in front of everybody, this Joe, just ask me, I know I owe you$10 ,000 man the next day I had maybe 250 ,000 from people who owe me but then I had to you know when you come back from having nothing this is why you gotta love God in the good and bad times because a lot of times the ones that God loved the most he'll put them through some shit so that you can man I went on my knees talking about that album I went on on my knees.
1:09:41Big pun just died. I was depressed. I'm like 500 pounds. My sister died. My grandfather. Man, I pray so hard on my knees. I'm talking about on your knees. That's when it worked. That's when you go on your knees and you just... That's the good... Please! Jesus! Let me show these guys, please. One more time. And then he give me what's love. We dug in and we fuck up that bag too. I fucked up the bag about a good three times. How many years you think you fucked up over your whole career? Whoa. At least maybe up. Look, I don't want to gasp. I don't know. This is hard. Listen, it's a lot of money, but I want to say I never had it in one lump sum.
1:10:25So I've never been like that. You know what I'm saying? So I might have been a hundred million or something. But it was in different times. You was getting bags in all eras, though. that's what's so crazy like the bad guy he's seen all the different money changes he's been around since the little head the little head I was getting at my time Flojo was number one in the country I was getting$500 this show crackhead money so I would do Yonkers White Plains then some shit Boston come back do Norfolk, Virginia Fayetteville North Carolina inner DC comeback. In one day, I'm picking up 15, like, that's how ambitious I've been about this money since I was a kid.
1:11:19You know, so, you know, it's not gonna stick. This is what we do. That's amazing, bro. I'm addicted to the wind, man. Nah. Well, for me, it's like, I'm just as ambitious too because, like, I'm delusional because I go to the studio with nothing every day. knowing that something's going to come from a vibe or energy or whatever I do. Like people, creators, we're the most delusional people. We paying for the studio. We paying for the engineer. We paying when you go there with nothing, with the hopes that at the end of the night or the next day, you're going to wake up and play something that was worth your time.
1:11:54I think that we the most delusional people in the game, but like we do it because we love it so much. You know what I'm saying? Like we've seen it happen. Like I went to a studio and I had nothing and woke up with a number one or woke up with some different shit. So that's why I'm always like how you saying, like ambitious and betting on yourself. Like I'm always doing that shit 24 seven, bro. We got to do that. That's fine. And we also got to invest in businesses and be smart. Save your money, man. Yeah. Whenever we ain't, you know, as hot or something or whatever the case may be, because, you know, somebody, they always come out with a new TV.
1:12:31Like I always tell everybody, the biggest shit, the biggest shit was to have a big TV. Remember the big TVs? You had one of them shits. The girl ain't want to leave your house. She want to stay. She knew there was some type of money going on. I hear niggas got the big TV. Then one day they woke up and said, flat screen. One day it went from the phone to this. So all I'm saying is, we smart enough to see so many people. Like I tell you, I went broke three, four times in my life, like dead broke. So we smart enough now to not go broke. Invest in different businesses, invest in different things. But franchises, if you could do what Shaq did and all that, like just buy a bunch of franchises.
1:13:15My new thing is, and listen, guys, don't quote me literally, but my new thing is I want to buy my son a franchise. Like I want to be like something, so he won't keep asking me for money. Know what I'm saying? it'll be like, yo, take a some ways, take a Papa John's, take a Dunkin' Donuts. That way, if you hustle like me, you're able to open two, three, four. You know, I tell people all the time, I say, yo, McDonald's ain't stopped at one store. They just kept going. And that arch? Everywhere. That arch is everywhere. So we got to invest in a bunch of different things.

1:17:55Yo, I seen that one thing I never liked. Never.
1:18:03I never liked liver either. Or beets. Me neither. Like beets, the red shit. You got to mix beets with something. They make a good beet salad now, but when I was a kid, I used to cry to deliver. I literally fat Joe. I ate everything you could think of. But when they would give me liver, I would cry. Like literally cry. My father would force me to eat liver and I would cry. Like, I hated that shit. Like, literally, I was a vacuum cleaner. Like, you know what I'm saying? Well, flat.
1:18:45I used to sit down and eat with my family. And my sisters were skinny. And they would pass me their steak or their chicken and shit. And I'm killing everything. Fat Joey's eating everything. When that liver come out, they used to have to I'd cry like a baby like I didn't want that liver and my father was trying to teach me yo we ain't rich we gonna eat whatever God gave us today you gonna eat this liver and I'm like hated that shit I hate liver but I also hate and I always salute him but yo he used to have a run yo he used to have it remember there's still dudes outside talking about when they had the Mazda RX-7.
1:19:30What they used to do, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck out of it. Remember when I came around summer of 96 and I had the Lexus 2-door? Nah, papito. This is for life. This money game is for life. That's why we work so hard, scared of falling off, scared of not being able to have it. And that's the true meaning of working and working and working because you gotta have it. What was the peak in both of y 'all career, not career-wise, but just on some music shit, what was your Rico Love moment where you like, nobody's fucking with me? What was your hit-maker moment? What was your moment to where you like, man, nobody?
1:20:12I feel like that every day. I wake up in the morning. In the game, I had a few of them in the beginning. In the middle. But when? What was the moment where you was It's just like, I'm that nigga. I'm Jadakiss. For me, it's when he put the paper towel on his head. Like, you knew nobody was fucking with him. You know what I'm saying? Like, nigga went paper towel. This, like, knock yourself out. Yeah, that era was incredible, too. Solo, Jada, first solo album was incredible. I agree. For me, it's always about the money. I want the hit. I want the fame and all that. But anytime I caught that super check, like that 10 million we talking about.
1:20:58Oh, you couldn't tell me. Shit. He probably saw me in clubs and all that and was like, this nigga is on cloud 10 ,000 because I had the army. You know what I'm saying? They just gave you the bread to make it complete. And so what's so crazy is, you know, I used to stick people up, two-time fella. Like, I did this. No, no, no. It's the difference between me. I hear a lot of rappers, yo, I was homeless. Yo, I was this. I don't know about that, bro. I stuck up. Whoever you thought was the biggest, I lined them up. I hustled at this. I'm not the guy. I'm going to get the bag, right? So when they give you the check and the guy who gives you a$10 million check takes the train afterwards and say, bye, fellas.
1:21:50Gets on the train. And now you're like, yes. I got it I feel sorry for anybody who knew me because I always think that I'm humble but I definitely was not humble at that time I definitely probably was walking past people I knew my whole life like fuck that dude smash them like you know no no I'm telling you I definitely was violating dudes on another another another level of Excellent. You took a guy who was just a stone cold criminal. Dangerous. Dealt with violence his whole life and gave him 10 million. I'm walking in the club, smacking the shit out of kingpins. Guys that are really killing people in the book.
1:22:36Hunt, yo, this is one. Nah, the whole cheekbone. Get the fuck up. And the whole club is like, yo, did he just do that to the guys who be pulling up in Lamborghinis and Ferraris? And I was overdoing it. You gave the wrong person a bunch of money at the wrong time. Yo. When did you feel like that? Twice. The most recent one is probably when I sold my catalog or whatever. If we talk about, I sold a portion of my catalog. We talk about half of it. Who you did the deal with? I was doing it with hypnosis. And then the people, well, Mike Caron came out of nowhere and was like, uh-uh, you ain't read the fine print.
1:23:15Mike Caron been fucking with you since day one, huh? Yo, Mike Cameron signed me for like$20 ,000 in 2014. Like 2014, he signed me for$20 ,000. Unbelievable. At that moment, I look back at it and I don't hold no resentment to it because it's like I ain't had a hit stand. So it might have looked like a gamble at that moment. But to where we at now, it's like, it's incredible. Mike Cameron never fucked with Joe Crack. Never? Ever. He came in Atlantic like after my run. This guy watched what he did for Flo Rida. He helped a lot of people. For sure. Throw me a Frisbee? Never. He never throw me a Frisbee.
1:23:53It's a lot of that. See, so with me, I try to tell everybody we did it all on our own. Not meaning by myself individually, but our team. You see, we want to make some money with products. We got sorisa rum. We got Rewind at 10. Kiss Cafe because nobody, when I say nobody, comes to me with a bag or yo, I got these people. I got this. Yo, when I say it's sad, it's a 30-year run of nobody coming to me with some money or some bag. I had to make it all on my own. If I want some sneakers, I got to make up an up in my seat. If I wanted this, I tell you I had to invest in myself. This, like nobody has come with the bag for years.
1:24:41Let me give you another one. Maybe you haven't. I just want you to say true or not. Okay. Right? True or false. At one time, not now, but at one time I felt like I was on such a run that some of these labels could have came and tapped me on the shoulder and said, yo, Joe, we want to make you president of A &R, president of the label. Because at this time, I couldn't miss with the hits. Nobody tapped me on the shoulder. Even here, they got conversations with Rock Nation, Shish and Luke, Dez, and Jay. And they said, you know how many times your name came up to be president of Rock Nation? And nobody called.
1:25:24I was waiting for the call. Oh, no. I'm telling you facts. I didn't say anything. I'm just looking at this. Funny you say that. So I'm actually going back into the building. I guess I can announce it here on Joe and Jay. I'm going back inside the building to work for a building. And again, I took some time off because, of course, I did I think I did four years at Atlantic and then I did two years with Empire. But when I moved to Miami and I sold my catalog, I kind of wanted to just like enjoy myself a little bit, still stay working, but not be in the building because it was getting a little frustrating.
1:25:56Just because of with Ghazi and them being in San Francisco and me moving to Miami, it was like a lot of disconnect or whatever. And I lived in San Francisco for a lot of the time during COVID up there with Ghazi and them. So when I moved to Miami, it just kind of got a little weirded out. So like I stepped back, but now I'm going back inside the building. I won't say where, but I think it's necessary and needed. Like, cause everybody wants to complain about no artist development, no this, no that. It's just cause they don't respect the niggas that they want to develop them. So when you get somebody like myself and I'm encouraging every producer that's watching this shit right now, go inside the building, take that step and do what I'm about to do.
1:26:36because one, it's not about job security. Huh? Did I sign it yet? Yeah. Did you sign? Not yet. Okay. But I got multiple different offers, but I think I'm going to go with who I gave my word to. You know what I'm saying? And you're all men in your word. Yeah, for sure. Salute to that person. And also salute to New York, L.A., Gilly and Wallow, whatever. I just got them a major label deal as well, too, for his daughter. His daughter. Gilly's daughter's name is New York, LA.
