I knew that the issue of transgender athletes was not going well with a lot of black men.

We had a full-fledged riot in the middle of the street. Terror Squad against Terror Squad.

27:44Yeah. And I didn't understand. We sold a million records. I'm still on the projects with Sandra Chancleta. I was chilling, playing, acting like I moved, but I'm still in the project every day. And one day, some dude talked funny to me. I smacked him. Pow! Real quick. I didn't think about it. His brother was my man I grew up with in kindergarten. So all of a sudden, he swing on me. I was so hurt and shocked because, you know, I run this shit. Right? So I couldn't believe he swung on me. Yo, that was my brother. So I go in the car, and I never forget. I'm about to leave because I don't want to hurt him.

28:27and my brother Full Flex said, yo, I know you love him. Grabbed my hand. I was about to turn the car on. He said, yo, I know you love him, but if you leave here right now, they ain't never going to respect you in this hood again anymore. Gotta give it to him. So I get out the car, go grab the old school shots, the yellow shit, start whipping his ass with the shots in the middle. But brothers, because I'm from here, from inception, brothers were fighting each other in the middle of the street. Blood brothers fighting the whole crew, fought the whole crew because some niggas was like fuck me and the other was like that's Joey.

29:08So we had a whole terror squad moment where everybody was fighting but I realized I can't be in the hood no more like that no matter what. I was like that was it. That's when I learned you could come through peace but you can't be doing that sitting on the benches thinking. Well the thing about this right you done made it. A lot of these people's mindset is not to make it. So where I come from, man, you know, they love my brother because he passing out beer and cigarettes because that's all they want is beer and cigarettes. I'm buying houses. I'm buying cars. I'm sending kids to school, but I'm not there all the time.

29:45So the hood don't respect it because they don't feel like you wanted them now because you ain't there on the block. And so wish somebody got to make it off the block to go feed the block. Facts. You see what I'm saying? So my thing, I don't even get caught about it. I realize that it's just a mindset and they ain't on the same mindset we own. But we got to keep going because if we're going to build generational wealth, are we going to bridge the wealth gap? Are we going to help our community? Sometimes we got to help it from a distance. We can't just, like they say, pigs lie in the mud. We can't lie in the mud if you're going to be a boss.

30:17Because think about it, you're going to get gunned down or you want to kill somebody to show how real you're. I don't need to show somebody how real I am. I ain't in that. They in it. So think about it. Your mindset ain't the same. So that's why it's best to just do your thing and come back. My thing is, with my foundation, we go help the kids in there. We help the older people. But we know the ones that's minds is messed up. Nah, but y 'all do y 'all thing. I can't stop you because nobody could tell me what to do when I was there. Think about it. So at the end of the day, you know what you're dealing with.

30:48You're dealing with a different mindset. And so you got to know that or you're going to get caught up. who inspired you and how did you have the knowledge to say, we're going to own our own shit. We're going to go independent and put out these records because for us, it was always, yo, go get a record deal. New York, it was like, yo, go get signed to a label. Go get yourself in a jam. Go get yourself robbed for the next 30 years. Niggas still owe me.

31:22Let it go, Joe, bro. Y 'all, that shit, man. Let it go, Joe, bro. Let it go. I'm still on raping you records. Like, motherfucking self. Millions of records. But guess what? That taught you something. We still owe him money. But let me tell you something where I get it from. The Bay Area. Going to the Bay Area, living in the Bay Area, I opened up No Limit Records as a retail store. So I'm a 19-year-old kid with a retail record store. And so I learned the music business. And so being in the Bay Area and watch how they operate, you know, watching E-40, watching Too Short, you know, E-40 Uncle, St.

32:00Charles. So, you know, they go into stores selling their records once they make it. I'm in the studio at JT the Bigger Figure House making a record, then go and put it out, sell it to the store and go on to these local distributors. So at one time I went to City Hall Records with St. Charles. I mean, that was a hustle for us because like, give me 10 ,000 records. I'm going to get$35 ,000 cash. They don't care if they sell it or not. Man, I'm dropping off 10 everything. You know what I'm saying? I'm counting it up now. So I got legit money. I don't need to go back to the streets. This is real for me.

32:37And I'm looking at that once I figured that out. And that's why it's like changing the mindset. because when I came to New York, because the thing about it, I was out here going to Dapper Dan, getting all kind of Louis Vuitton clothes and all this stuff. In them days. He didn't even know who I was. Just I'm spending money. Like, man, who this little young dude is coming in here? And I'm coming to get flying, flying back to California, flying back to New Orleans. But I learned that from the Bay Area and I got to give that props to living in Richmond, California, opening a record store, going through Oakland and San Francisco and watching how they operate, man, I think they was just ahead of their time.

33:17And so when I went back to the South, went back to New Orleans, it was easy for me because I was used to putting up my own posters. I was used to doing all this stuff. So I've always been the boss, but I always operated. But I was riding, I had millions of dollars. I was riding a Pinto. So I never had to be, well, I need to be in a roadside, or I need to be on a private plane. Keeping up with the Jones. You see what I'm saying? I don't care what somebody else got. I've been living in a mansion for 30-something years. You know what I'm saying? I don't care what somebody else next door have. That ain't my business.

33:51So I've always been happy with what I have. And I think coming from the Bay, it humble you because all the real hustlers, they're not worried about that. They're just like, oh, this is our hustle. Get out here, sell your CDs out of the trunk of your car, go to the store, drop it off, get it on consignment, come fresh out the studio. You know, I was going, driving to every swap meet in LA. That's how bumping the EZ, y 'all bumping the EZ. They were from the table before we, they were straight to the table. You was going to swap meet, dropping off the music to sell it. I went to the swap meet too, but not to sell records, but I was, no, I was like addicted to, same thing New Orleans anywhere, when I would listen to music.

34:38I want to go to the projects with motherfuckers that got windows and all that. I'm sitting up in there like, yo, this is how these niggas is getting out. Same thing with I used to go to LA like an asshole and tell them, yo, take me to the stores to swap me. I'm listening to the chronic and shit. I want to see this shit. It's nothing like that Magnolia and that Cali, yo, man. When they bought me to them joint. Nothing like that shit. I had to give all praises to God and all respect to everybody there because it was just a disassociation. He still got a hood like that in Miami. He got a hood where you go in and you like, Jesus Christ, these niggas live here?

35:19It's the craziest shit you ever seen in your life. I wanted to show kids, right? And I'm glad that they have AI now so you could actually go and see the projects like how it was when I was living in there, man. So I live with people. He's saying, you know, he got no mom, no dad or whatever. I live with my grandparents. so I was raised by my grandparents and they had 12 kids so me and my brother we ate late so that's 14 kids in a three bedroom project with two adults and so I ain't use it as oh man I don't have and I use it as I'm about to get up out of here I'm about to make it you know and and I realized my grandmother one thing you did have was love yeah I had the love and my grandmother was tough on me she also taught me tough love because she the one who woke me up because I was out there on the streets And then she come in the room one day with a black dress over a nightstand.

36:12One of my partners had just got killed. And she know we young and we wilding. So I said, where you about to go at, Big Mama? She said, oh, I'm going to wait until your funeral. I said, nah, I got to change. I got to do something else. And that really hit me to where I went changing my life and saying, I got to go better myself. You know, I just had a kid, just had room. And I'm like, I'm out here wilding. And it's like my grandmother put it on my mind and she woke me up. And so I never forget after that, man, I was a whole different person because I know I wanted to live. And that's what this generation got to want to live.

36:52But everybody talking about, you know, dying young. They want to die. Yeah, we can't get old. The thing is that the youth don't realize, I didn't realize that there's life past 20. Yeah. It's life past 30. So what, you young and you feeling like, yo, we going to funerals. This shit was like normal. My mom's got a picture. I still got to find that picture. She had a picture with like 10 of us. And I swear to God, I was the only one alive in the whole picture. So when I go see my mother, she got it on her mirror. And everybody's dead but me. And it was like normal shit. I was wondering what the parents was thinking when little Johnny gets killed at 14.

37:40Little Frankie, yo, it was guys getting killed. Put you on a T-shirt and move on like it's nuts. Yeah, but it was guys getting killed in my project that we didn't even know why they got killed. Who killed them or who? It was a good guy. I'll never forget. There was a kid named Frankie. Man, murder this guy. I could not to this day I can't find a person to tell me why they murdered Frankie he was just a nice kid you gotta look at this too you don't know what his people did you don't know not Frankie though see you keep saying that you don't know you don't know like I seen a kid get hanged off the banister I've never seen that before like by what you know how my project looks Yeah, I've been there.

38:29Yeah. But Klu Klux Klan? No, no. No. No. No. So hung by another guy who had beef with him. Hunger. Yeah. Real. So think about it. We had Dow Should Not Kill Science. And you're going to see it in my movie all throughout the project, all through uptown New Orleans. That's how bad it was. So think about it. I've never seen that. And so now that I know why I'm so humble and I'm thankful, because like you said, me and my brother, goal was to let it be 19. My brother died at 19. So that was a goal. We sit in a room, man, that we could make it to 19. And what? You think a life like kids should be thinking like that?

39:17We went to Calisari. I was so ignorant. They cut the back of my neck. They bust me open. I thought I was like somebody. The next day I come to the block with the stitches on my shit. Like, yeah, they bust me open. Y 'all know what this shit is. This guy, like the most ignorant shit. Yo, it's wild. No, it's the most ignorant shit you ever seen in your life. You see that shit? Yeah. 420 motherfuckers, you know. That shit, we was celebrating the dumbest shit you ever thought of. And then somebody come back to jail. Look where your mind said that now. Look where your mind said that now. You can't believe you used to live like that.

39:54No fucking way. I got one of your stories. I'm on a plane, me and P. We coming from somewhere. We happen to be first class. And P like, yo, we had separate seats across from each other. He telling this white guy, let me switch seats. I want to kick it to my little, I mean, I think he was about to tell me to start doing, getting that film. We was going to kick it for the flight. The white guy, he's trying to be super nice to him. Hey, man, this, that. And guys start, like, tweaking. I said, oh. He just stood up. Say, bro, I could buy this whole airplane. I don't know why you acting all crazy. I just want to talk to my man.

40:37And he let us sit there. I was like, yo, he pushed me to the limit. He was trying to chill. He was trying to tell me, yo, man, just let me sit there. Because you know what happens to me is every time somebody tell me, yo, let me sit next to my wife or my daughter or something like that. I get up. I don't even give a fuck about the window. Here's a number. I swear the one time I need it, that motherfucker, I only sit in the aisle. Yo, I only sit like it's never like we never get it back. Oh, look at it. I had a lady the other day.

I might got to catch the start on that. You know what that's going to be? No, I was just singing that song. What's the baller? Shot call a 20-inch blade. Yeah. And it's in our way. No, what's my home? Big Pun used to love that shit. Oh, how you do that there? That's that shit. Mississippi, New Orleans. That's one of my favorite pieces. I never slept on y 'all. I never slept on your movement. But when y 'all was at your prime, I was heavy into like New York rap.

51:14Yeah. Right? But as the, I'm going to tell you something. As the years went on, your music aged so well. because I started listening to it like, yo, they was talking, man. There's shit right here. This is that fucking shit. It's so like, I think you was definitely ahead of your time and then we needed to catch up. Yeah. We was so much on some New York shit that once we figured out, yo, music is music, listen to everything, I'm like, damn, they was talking. I had fiend. So he was giving me, he used to give us the lessons. I just asked him all day about what was going on and this, that. He was giving me the real, the real.

52:01Y 'all can't lie to you. I love the Estes Fest. I pull up. But I've never seen no violence, but there got to be a reason why there's a police officer on every floor of the Four Seasons. That means you can die in that motherfucker. Let me tell you something. When you got the police, New Orleans, police nigga on every floor, you ain't got to tell me much. When I see him, I say, oh, you could die on this motherfucking floor right here. That's why they got the real cops on every floor because you could get lost in that fucking four seasons, bro. I could see shit in the writings on the wall. I'm like, oh, no, these hurt niggas out here because they know so many out of town has come, you're going to be in like the Four Seasons where it's caught when they got the real cops on that.

52:53Where you were staying at in San Antonio, man, when you came out to the game? San Antonio? I never stood there. We was flying in. You know, I was flying into San Antonio. Going to Vegas. Going to Vegas. So we taking the plane right after the joint to Vegas. They're coming back and then it was over and it was back in New York. why? I would have had problems in San Antonio. No, no, man. Come on. Why everything you think you... Some people was nice. They was nice to me. San Antonio was a really nice people. I had no problems. Huh? Philly tried to beat me up like 10 times. Don't go to Philly. If you're the enemy, if you cheering for some other people, your ass is done in Philly.

53:43Let me tell you something. That shit That shit's crazy, that Philly shit. Who you a sport? New Orleans Saints? Nah, see, the Saints, the Pelicans, but I'm from the South, so when y 'all was going for New York, you know, I had to go for San Antonio. Sorry to hear that, brother. Come on, man. You know, but I love Bronson. I'm doing that shit to Wimby. So let me tell you something. You see me? I was doing that to Wimby. That motherfucker was missing us. You like Bronson? So I played with Bronson Daddy. So we started out in the CBA. so you know he was he was tough just like that you know but I'm happy for them as a family just to see him and his son you know and then you know same thing I'm doing with my son right now my son that's playing for the University of Houston Houston get busy it's my dog man so we you know what happens is like you pray your kids come out right yeah you pray they come out as ambitious as you did yeah hopefully they didn't have to grow up with the type of shit we grew up you talking about 14 people I had the Cubans.

54:44The Cubans came and when Fidel threw out over the Cuban, my father Cuban. I was stepping on bodies going to school. Like my crib was so small, motherfuckers was laying on the floor. My father brought back like 20, 30 Cubans. Yeah. And I'm going to school stepping, excuse me, excuse me, in my one bedroom project. Like this shit was too much, right? They don't understand that. Yeah, the kids. You know, they come in big houses, this, that, and you hope they got that shit. and so you see ball players that were good they couldn't get to that next level and then they trained their kids you know it's just such a beautiful feeling to say alright so I had to crawl for you to walk walk for you to run and now here you go here's the game and hopefully it works out for you I mean that's what I see the beauty of it is being able to go to a good school getting education making it to the NBA So I wouldn't want my son to go through what I went through, right?

55:45So in my park, everybody put their guns on the bleachers, then go play basketball. You could get killed trying to play basketball. But my son a dog because it's a mindset. So I prepared him for the game, for life, to know that you ain't got to go through what I went through, but you got to work hard and you got to know. Because think about it, we don't do that with our kids. You know, a lot of people, we know we come from nothing. You know, you got kids that you done gave everything to and you're like, damn, well, I messed up the communication. So you got to be real with yourself. And I'm like, oh, the communication that was on me.

56:21So now this generation of kids, I'm like, no, I ain't just giving you nothing. You know, these these kids not straight dogs because I ain't give them a call till they got the cow. You know what I'm saying? Because at first, you know, you're giving the kids and you're letting them go. And then they see because you think about it, you don't want them to go through the pain. you don't want them to go through what you went through but they might need that but you gotta teach them hard work and preparation and so that's the page I'm on until I know my son can play against anybody it ain't gonna be oh that's Master P son it's gonna be oh that dude a dog so when I when LeBron came to the game for my son to play against his kids and he'll be asking people which one of them is Master P son because number 25 is a dog I said, oh, that Pete's son right there.

57:12You know, but it's not because of me because he developed the hard work. So he played with Big Jet. He played with Jalen Sus in the eighth grade. My son won a state championship, you know, with those guys playing up. He's been playing up his whole life. So my thing is going through that adversity and then going to Houston. People say, I could easily send him somewhere. He would have started right off. You know, first, we all call Ron Harper. We won the Chet. you know his son a dog for San Antonio Calvin Samson, perfect coach for his son your man Ron Ron Harper was like fuck you fat Joe you ain't shit I'm like turn around oh shit it's Ron Harper fuck you man fuck the Knicks we dancing we just won the chip I said man your son is a dog man he's really great man you should be proud of your son He was like, all right, Fadjo.

58:08Fuck you, though. I walked in. Y 'all know that was serious. You know, San Antonio, the Knicks, whoever the fans was, that was like y 'all was at war. You know what I'm saying? That was the Civil War right there. But Wimby, he going to be a monster. Nah, this is league. Yeah. Wimby, you better do whatever you can do. They got better, too. Yeah. They got Tobias Harris. They got better. So it's like... So I'm thinking about leaving college and going coaching the NBA. What do you think about that? I love it. If they would let you coach. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to come on as assistant.

58:53Yeah, but they got to select you. I always thought I could be assistant coach. Niggas ain't looking at me for shit. I could have helped the Knicks when they were losing 5 ,000 games. I got the resume, man. No, I got a resume. I'm the number one. You remember I played against you in the Rutgers, Joe? Remember that? We don't want to talk about that because, you know, we put you out of business. Yo, we put you out of business. You know, my coaching skills. My shit in back. He ain't never seen no shit when I come in there, Joe. You was shaking when I came in. There was a car. Let me tell you something, Pete.

59:28There was a car that used to pull up and I get inside. Yeah. It's Isaiah Thomas. Yeah. When he was running the next. He would ask me, literally, Joe, what should I do with this? And I got Zach Randolph and I'm this. What do you think? And I would give him advice. Not that it worked. Now, Joe been on his game. Joe been on his game because we know, but we went at it that last year. We went at it. Pete, come on now. Ain't been a game. I never lost. I'm like 99 and one. I was in jail. I had the Muggeros and I had like you was shaking. We beat him. We beat him. But listen, Pete, let me explain to you.

1:00:17Who you have, Pete? Hold on, let me hear you. We beat all the meggas, man. What?

1:00:2499 and one. You don't understand. No. I lost a big blue from ATL that managed outcasting them. And he bullied these things. They was like, they had these big names. One I lost was the blue. I came in there and had Dorian Grant. Justin Yopin, you got to stop. Let me explain. Can I say something? Come on, Joe. Go ahead, bro. I'm in jail. the number rule number one rule I got guys I remember they all did 30 years in jail I ain't do no time in jail number one rule is don't play basketball don't get involved with basketball because that's when they get a free hack and it's gonna turn into a fight right so I'm avoiding it working with this dude he's man cool he joins a 40 and over basketball team these niggas are dribbling the ball like this I swear like the Bad News Bears.

1:01:24Three Saturdays in a row, they getting their ass whipped by a thousand points. These niggas ain't got a chance. One Saturday, come on. You stand here. You stand here. And you stand here. When he cuts, you bet. They wind up taking the championship, P. Come on, Joe. The Bad News Bears. Niggas was dribbling like this. they wind up and then the nice niggas thought yo can I join the team yo we started getting motherfuckers that can hoop for real they thought it was the rock in that shit for a little two months I got out of there but what I'm saying is

1:02:07you hear this shit you hear this shit dog it's crazy because all players the best players right of course you need talent you need skill but you need it IQ. That's why a lot of these point guards and all of them turn into coaches. Because you need a high IQ. Like I had the greatest players you ever seen in the history of man time. These niggas were dumb as shit. I'm like yo my fan. They ran the same play six fucking times. I call a timeout and stand on the spot. I'm like he's coming here. Can someone play deep right here. Then when they do that, I never even, I never seen guys so dumb. And so, shout out to Kareem Reed, they butter.

1:02:57I would have never won these games if it wasn't, they was just too smart. My man Kareem Reed running point, Arkansas Razorback. He was smart enough. Y 'all, I seen shit. He was smart enough. Even I would have made him. He was very smart. The left. He was very smart. So he would come and it's tied up and he can score and it's still 10 seconds later. You're saying it wasn't your coaching then. Huh? It was the players. It wasn't your coaching. No, it was a lot to do with the players. Yeah, that's what it is. It was mostly the players were smart. Yeah. Players. And you know what? That's why a lot of these NBA and college coaches don't understand.

1:03:30You're only as good as the players you have. Of course. And so that's what I was able to do with college basketball at the University of New Orleans. We beat TCU. It was one of the top 15 teams in the country. But I come out there with my slingshot and my Bible. You know what I'm saying? and I got these guys' minds to where y 'all know we got nothing to lose. You know, and so the players like that that has nothing to lose and you can elevate them, then you're going to be able to do something. Because there's a lot of things. When I came up, I'm always wanting to play the guy that's the number one player, the guy that everybody thinks is the best, right?

1:04:06But at the end of the day, it's the mindset, just like you said. And so over now, the Knicks and the champs, Well, at one point, it could have used me as a motivational assistant coach. I'm telling you, I could have made these guys win five games, 10 games. So you went out for the job, but you asked them for the job. No, I never went for the job. Well, how you going to get a job if you never went for the job, Joe? That's a great idea. I never went for the job, and I swear I always said, yo, if they gave me the job, I would have taught these guys. Well, Joe, how you going to get a job if you never went?

1:04:38Go apply, man. Go act, go inquire. Right now, them niggas just send me to hell, bro. They don't want to chat me. They're trying to see Joe right now. Ten years too late. Five years ago, he could have made that happen. Taylor Buster don't even talk to me like that. He be like, yo, Joe. Like, he don't want to hear this shit. All this stuff. Joe shit, he's like, yo, my man. But Joe, but think about this, right? They got a thing outside the box now. Think about it. We watched the Knicks because of you. I'm just being honest. Watching you come in and show up in those rooms and talk to your shit. So the regular people out there that's watching the game, they like, oh, we watching the Knicks because you nobody.

1:05:16Bronson ain't even turning to who until they want it. Right. But the stuff y 'all was doing in the celebrities that was showing up, that's what we zooming into the TV for. And they got to understand that it's non-traditional now. It's non-traditional thinking is what's going to take this to the next level. I'm going to tell you what's crazy, man. I remember I see I was in Atlanta. And I had a show or something in Atlanta. And I love Peach Street. So whenever I go to Atlanta, I just tell the driver to go up Peach Street to the end, come back. I just love it. I don't know why. I've always loved it.

1:05:55And I'm looking at every TV, whether it's a bar or gym, everybody watching the playoffs. And I knew the next day Knicks was playing and I know I'm courtside. I threw this yellow shit on just so they can see me. I said, motherfucker, watching on every TV. I'm going to go to that courtside with that yellow shit on so motherfuckers can see me all over the country. It's a big deal. With New York, the celebrity, it's just, the shit was out of control. By the finals, I wasn't sure I had a seat. It was just like, it's nothing you can do. They had motherfucking A-list celebrities up a deck. that shit was crazy on the roof I'm like yo it was like it's so many celebrities either from New York or wanted to see this shit like Taylor Swift came Taylor Swift comes she posted Fat Bunny come I ain't lying to you they take Fat Joe's seat away they put Fat Joe underneath the basket they give him the prime time I'm just telling you we watching it because of you thank you my brother I appreciate that you hear that Mr.
