The Alchemist & Hit-Boy on 'Goldfish' collab & WILD Drake, Eminem & Jay-Z stories

26:56Go. Let me tell you something. Rob Reef, Too Low, changed my life. You know what I'm saying? He heard, you know what I'm saying, I was working with Biggie on a project and he came and divide and conquer. He said, yo, you doing this work with Biggie? I said, yeah, I only had two albums before that. I had no money, no nothing, Flo Joe, none of that shit made money, sold records, this and that. He was like, y 'all, I want to give you your own label. he took me to Atlantic and because I was going to put out a project with Biggie it's the only reason I never sold I didn't deserve my own record later wait a minute wait a minute you had records with Biggie?

27:35yes where you at? Under a rock? I'm trying to tell you that's the inception that's the inception of Cap Joe because I told people I was doing man where are these records? listen I don't have it No, no, no, no. How come it's no, I'm too real? He know I ain't going to lie. Never. Me and Biggie was cutting records. He want to be the black Don, I'm the Spanish Don. Some people call it Cap, whatever. This is crazy. But Rob Tullo, as the A &R of Atlantic, heard that I was doing this project and stepped to me. It was like, yo, you doing? And I'm like, yeah. And he was like, yo, yo, I want to give you your own record label.

28:16I didn't even deserve the record label at the time. All the million dollars. I might have had two grand in my fucking bank account. But you had Punt already, right? No, not yet. This was TS. This is Terror Squad Records, right? Yeah, but this is the beginning. This is before even Punt. Okay, okay. Or nothing like that. It was just me. I only had two albums out. Hustlin' is the key to success of Flojo. So Rob came and gave me millions, my own record label. And that's why they gave me my record label, because it was like a biggie fucking with this guy. Fat Joe's on our Shacha with Ella and all them.

28:49That was out already. Let's grab him. Yeah, that was out. So he was like, no, the momentum, the projection was there. It just wasn't there. You know how we all say Big L wouldn't have died. He would have been the biggest. So I was like projected to win, but I wasn't there yet. And Rob took the chance with me and did that same thing with Scott Storch when he introduced me to Scott Storch. And he was just so talented. And I was just like, yo, and I'm the first to go, yo, Scott Storch on a hit record. I'll just use that tag on a song. he just played some keys on the song. I just dropped with AZ Chike and Baby Tron and I only spanked Nitty.

29:26You heard the yo Scott Storch. What's up? After that he had cheese lines outside his thing. Let me tell you what's crazy about you producers. Yo Jada, it's the truth. Scott's too good. After I shouted out Scott Storch I'm going to the studio it's Method Man, Redman, this one. That was cheese lines of rappers. Whoever's your number one rapper it's up Jada was you on the line? Yes he was he was that shit was over Scott is a yo what up nephew I ain't see you over here yo let me tell you something give Fat Joe credit but I set I set a lot of trends in this game I've seen Scott's story you know we have hit boy and I'll get miss here Scott's thoughts is old I was proud I was proud we can't have Scott's thoughts now he told the old no he can't but let me tell you something it's a lot of Scott Storch stories.

30:20Listen, so I'm going to Scott Storch? Yo, come on! See? Yo! That man is Leonardo DiCaprio of the music game. When he tells his story? He got stories. Oh my God. He lived a life. Did you guys, no, super like, did you guys ever like make a pact so you come see Jada and it's like, alright, I hear this for Jada, but you keep the other pack for Jay-Z. I used to hate these producers. They come in the studio to bring us beats, and they be playing some shit, and they be like, oh, this is for hoes. H to this. Oh, H to this. I'm over there trying to make a fucking hit. I got a fucking wrench around my brain trying to crack open or something.

31:12Went through a lot of that on Bad Boy with Big. They used to play the beats and say, nah, that's for Big. Why the fuck did you play it for me? Yo, my aunt is suspect. If you remember... Rockwild, all the mix that were coming, the shit with Matthew Bend, they'd be like, oh, I can't really give you that. That's the Red Man. And then we'd be like, yo, my man, like, what the fuck? What you giving me? I'm chopped liver. We used to come to the studio. You remember those days, like, in Battery, when y 'all would have, like, album mode, and we used to come and line up. It would be Buckwild, Rockwild, or whoever come with the dats and have to play beats.

31:44But y 'all used to have the fucking shenanigans. Like, I remember one time, it was you and Pundit's studio and I came in the studio to play beats and it was a hammer on the table allegedly so I walked in and Pundit was sitting all the way on the back on the couch against the wall right that's what he used to say and he went and grabbed an apple he put an apple on his head I'm lying I just told him he put an apple on his head he put an apple on his head I ain't spoke to Joe in a minute he put an apple on his head He said, yo, Joe, Joe. Joe said, right now, right here? He said, Joe, go, go, go ahead, go ahead.

32:23Joe said, nah, we can't do that right here. He said, go, go, go. Joe took the hammer. Boom! And put it like this. They made the fucking, it was an air gun. He made the apple move. I told that story recently about he did that with Tony Sunshine today. You know they never put us in battery studios again. Tony Sunshine put the apple on some young, this little white engineer. and they pun did the same shit, shot it, they never let me ramp at a studio again in my life. It was my favorite fucking studio. Those sessions were crazy. Those fucking sessions were crazy, man. You think I'm caping off? He gets one taken back.

33:00He gets one taken back from the cap. Story checks out. Story checks out. He gets his time out and he gets another challenge. Those were crazy days, man. But yeah, I mean, you know. But they were the fun days. For sure. See, I thought you was a member of Mob Deep. I mean. Shit, you can say that. Well, the way I looked at it, right? Because you got Havoc, you know, niggas calling that the number one album of all time produced. Straight up. I see lists all the time where - But Infamous? Yes. Infamous is - And so you come afterwards and team up with Prodigy. Murder Music. So you putting in mean work with - That's the line.

33:37Murder Music is when I got down. How do you come in when he already has a Dr. Dre? So I thought you was the third member of Maud Dewey. I swear to God. I mean, yo, listen, I tell Hab all the time, I thank him. And that's a real testament to confidence. He's having, he made a whole sound. So when I got to New York, I was around soaking up all that shit, figuring out how to make the drums a certain way. Like Hab is a mastermind genius. We know this, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, the connection was through Cypress. So it was funny how it worked. You know, Muggs was working with them all.

34:11I came to New York and he linked me with them. and they just saw me in New York, like just out here, dolo, still repping Soul Assassins, but they were like, come fuck with us, you know? And then I just, I was out here kind of by myself. So them putting me into the mix, you know how that made me feel? Like think of that Marv D, Murder Music is, they already did Hell on Earth, Infamous. That's what I'm trying. I was a fan when I met them, you know what I'm saying? So the fact they let, and you know how it is, is it was gradual too, because they're not the type to just be like, come on in, you're with us.

34:43it took a while until I was like Ray Kwan's wedding and I went you know how you go to a wedding they give you them shuttle bus it was sitting next to RZA and his wife and RZA turns around and is like you know I used to let you you know work with Ray like yo I'm like you know some crews they wouldn't even let you work with each other they be like yo he's like yo you know I'm glad we at the wedding because you know how do you feel about that? I mean that's You know, RZA was the boss. That's like you call my outfit a little outfit. He kind of like little out of the way. I used to let you wear that pinky in the brain.

35:23That shit looking fly right there. But, you know, your brother compliments your outfits, man. You can say something about my outfit, man. It's outfits. See, motherfucker, boy, he won't give a compliment for nothing. God damn it. I give you compliments all the time. Yo, listen, but where we was at with Cruz, like even me. right and I please I don't want to start no type of beef I worship you guys I love you guys to death but I'm a member of digging in the crates from the beginning and I remember when they asked me to do I shot you LL's I shot you would keep me of course some of the members was like y 'all you don't rock when no they was the underground they was underground they didn't believe that it was forbidden for you to do a shingle that was about to blow they didn't want you Yeah, with my idol, LL Cool J.

36:15I was like, yo, this is my idol. This guy's four-time planet. Hold on. James, they was like strictly underground. There's seven members in Digging in the Crows. All right. Let's get to it. Who was it? No, I can't. But what I'm saying to you, what I'm saying is, man, Joe, man, Joe. These two to three members know. I think I know who it was. Two to three members. I think I know who it was. It was like, yo, we only rock. Nah, it wasn't show. It wasn't show. I knew who it was. It was like, it's two or three members that was like, yo, we rock with us. And I was just like, I said, that was the one time I said, man, I don't.

36:47It wasn't Andre the Giant. Leave it alone. No, it wasn't. We can narrow it down. But that record was hard. You see, I was born yesterday. No, it was a stepping stone. You know what I'm saying? It was almost like a pop that French Montana. Like, it was a time. Like, I shot you put me on another level. Was that a Chris Lighty? It was Chris Lighty. This is. And Chris Lighty and Track Masters. they fucked with me hard so they came, they heard my second album I was working at Battery it was like yo, you wanna jump on this LL but I know about you know, you working with Prodigy you know, I know they must have had some internal talks like yo we ain't talking about that, he made it in he made the shit it was always love, Av always showed me love but we kinda, you know, still sharp and still yo, we gotta shout out We got to shout out my man Keg, a.k.a.

37:43Rockstar, a.k.a. Tommy Addy with Rolly, because he put us together. That's right. And, yo, you know what's crazy? He doing his thing now. Shout out to Keg. My God, you might have gave him their best record ever. And you know what's crazy? Do you remember? No, no, that's a fact. No, it's definitely timeless. He has a fan. I don't know if he liked one. He gave me still feeling. Feel me. This is another connection that's crazy. Look at this. You kidding me? Remember the beat for Bring It On? Yeah. Remember the beat for Bring It On? Huh? Remember the Bring It On beat, right? Bring It On. So there was a Stretch Armstrong.

38:16It was a Stretch Armstrong. We balled in and threw that beat in the Cobra Clutch, you talking about? And then Stretch came and told me y 'all was asking who did the beat. Because I didn't know y 'all yet. So shout to Stretch. We went up on Stretch. We balled up. Now, what's the real story? this the last time we ever gonna talk about this cause shout out to my brother Raskash shout out to his sons Raskash shout out to Deidre Moses chill out I'm talking can I have my moment I didn't wanna take my moment and make it your moment let me get my moment you can try whatever happened cause all I know you came in played me some beats I picked that and that then I got a you know what I mean cause it was really you I took the heat for it but it was really Al he didn't tell me what was going on with it we took the heat this is the last time we ever gonna talk about this cause it's all love so let's it was just a mix up man it was a misunderstanding I had love for both of y 'all I still do you know shout to Rats I just saw Rats last week you know Living Legend Rats his kids are killing it Ghost Contra shout to Ghost Contra It was a mix-up.

39:39It was early in my career, you know what I'm saying? And it was like, it was a lot of little moving parts and shit that happened, but in the end, you know, I wish it didn't go that way, you know what I'm saying? But in the end, the record we made definitely became something that lasted forever and shout out to Razz, too, you know what I mean? It was just a mix-up back in that time, but, you know, I wish the best for everybody. Everybody's doing great now. Well, you know what happened to me? Yo. Don't tell me we are the world We are the world I throw the flag ahead of time Who beat did he have first?

40:12We are the world Fuji La The star spangled banner In my face by Salaam Remy Right after Flojo And I'm telling you I wouldn't have did a better job than Fuji La But I was in his house In Manhattan He made Fuji La in my face For Fat Joe We used to be number one He said Lauryn Hill came like two hours late and was like, oh, no, not Fat Joe. This is my shit. And they snatched up that Fuji La. It was made for me. If you listen to Fuji La, it's the same type of drums as Flo, Joe. Same pace and everything. She came and threw that shit in the Cobra Clutch and was like, yo, I needs this. Let me get that badge.

40:54I just heard recently you said win or lose was originally for me and Pete. I never told you that. What the fuck? Uh-oh. Nob, see, this is what happened. You know, when we were doing mob albums, yo, could you play Win or Lose right now? Win or Lose, man. Just think about it. Imagine that too. Imagine this. We were finishing the mob album and like when we were doing the album, we would go to the studio and work, but sometimes they would come to my crib and we would record joints. So that was a joint I had in my crib in the computer. Album was done and I was like, secretly, I hadn't told you, but I was like hoping they would forget because I wanted to put S.P.

41:31and Kiss on it. And then P. came to my crib like a week before they were finishing the album and was like, yo, remember that joint? What was that one joint we had in the computer? And I was like, oh yeah. Damn. But you know what I'm saying? What would that have been like, man? Because all these people wanted to imagine, you know what I'm saying? You know he and Joe and J.D., we don't let nobody finish their answers. I'm glad he said that. I'm glad that was one of the best things you ever said. Y 'all thank you, brother. They need to clap with me or nothing. Yeah. I need to do a clip of like...

42:08You know what happens is I just be like... Ideas come up while I'm hearing them. I'm like, oh, I got a better... I feel it. I got to work on that. Put it up.

42:22Cranky Crocker, man. Oh, you would have went crazy, right? Y 'all can't suck it. Imagine that. Yo, you would have went crazy. I had the right idea. Whoa!

42:36You feel it, baby? Yes. Another day, another dollar. It's about getting money. Give me a holler, my nose running. I've been out in the cold. Hustle for so long. My hands numb. I bet I feel that paper hit my palm. It's like, oh, shit, it's on. Time to go shopping for cars, not fashion. I wish be the bomb. My clothes be the same shit that we had on. Fuck, look at you. Say that for the bra. It's the AJBO. Z-dump and reload. Knock, knock. Answer that. I'm clapping through the people. I'm talking to pay lawyers so we be those. Get locked in. I'm slutting late to see you. You'll be the only niggas you know that fuck they POs.

43:15They push our files to the top. You still on parole. We got money to roll. No time for penitentiary. Now turn that on. He was different, man. Peace out. If I was you, I wouldn't want to hear that. that's a well anyway that's a legendary song but that that definitely got the locks written off they would have been phrased hold on hold on time for the toast when we talk about the new stuff yeah we gonna toast to the new album then we gonna talk about it when we could toast to life and the life and the life they got the new album Goldfish you know what I mean with these two album in the film album in the film we gonna toast Goalfish.

43:56Goalfish right quick. Who came up with the title and why is it called Goalfish? I mean, shit, life be like that. We be stuck in a bowl just going in circles and shit sometimes, you know what I mean? It's like, you know, mentally, whatever it is. But it's a couple of meetings. When you see it, you know what I mean? You don't really understand what's going on. Now, y 'all both spitters turn producers or producers turn spitters. I was making my own songs before I made beats. And man, to be honest, the beat shit was just on some like fun shit for me. You know, just still is. It's like I replaced playing video games with making beats because the FL studio look like Tetris.

44:33They was clowning that shit when they drive. Like it was like real producers don't use, you know, Fruity Loops. Now it's like all the Drake hits, a lot of Kendrick hits, a lot of niggas shit getting made on FL. You know what I mean? You know what me? I don't care where the fuck that beat came from. Long as it's knocking, it's made it with two Fruit Loop boxes. Who gives a shit? Shit is not good. I don't really give a fuck. They got the rumor that Havit came up with the shit from the project, the light, the... From the stove. From the stove and the project. That really came from that? Well, that's what the rumor is.

45:06I don't know if it's confirmed. That's hard, though, because everybody's stove did that. It's a good story. Back up with that shit. I think it was just the engineer playing the hi-hats in the beginning. Maybe. It fits. It's a good conversation. I like it. My point is... Let me turn this up. Gold bottles, goldfish. Gold bottles and goldfish. Respect, man. More life. More wealth. More nothing. Goldfish. How many times you ever shipped an ace on the ace of spay? Yeah, right, right, right. This classy. This really classy right here. Man. Back on the drink. We was just in Starless last night, hours ago.

45:43Man, that's it. I'm still recovering. Go ahead, guys. We don't bring that into these conversations. Every time somebody say some shit like that, you start to hide behind the pillow and shit. Yo, how was it started? It was amazing, man. Great time. I love it. Lose your family in that motherfucker, huh? Man. That's the devil's day. It's a good spot, man. It's a good spot. I'm sitting in booby trap one night in fucking Miami. I'm with my man Money. And we throwing so much money, so much this. and I turned around, I seen the greatest Caribbean, Asian, white, Spanish, I said, oh no, the devil, I gotta seek the kingdom.

46:25The devil's in here. This is the devil's lair. We gotta get out of here. Sometimes you gotta run out of a place like that. I'm at the Yankee, by the way, they call me the bad news, what do they call me, the jinx? I'm the mush. We won last night, B. That boy George hit that shit out the park Mayor had to, he told the whole, yo, he fucked himself so royally. He told the whole section, if judge hits a home run, I'm buying drinks. That nigga hit the home run. Mayor had to buy every, don't go messing with Cotton Eye Joe. These are different kind of fans out there. Yo, like triple of Tito's. Doubles, I say, yo, you got.

47:10Yo, they was ordering doubles and triples. Yo, listen, some woman came by and she said, I noticed you've been drinking Diet Pepsi. And she bought me a Diet Pepsi. The whole section looked at me. I said, seek the kingdom. Seek the kingdom. No new mistakes. What's going on with that? Who's on out? Y 'all two features we got. What's going on? Give us a little sneak. Your homie Conway. Conway got a solo song on there. Shit, we got Bodie James. Bodie, shout out. I'm with J. Worry. You got my pops, Big Head on there. Who else on that motherfucker? Havoc. But we didn't want to do a compilation album.

47:48I think people probably expect it because we do the beats. But once we link, this is just where it went because it started from a record that we did together like, what was it, two years ago? He was working on a project, hit me up and shit was like, yo, I think he saw, I just did a verse on a Larry June. I don't really rap a lot. You know what I'm saying? But when I was working with, shout out to my brother Larry June. He was like, yo, would you get on this joint right here? with me? I was like, you want me to rap on it? He said, yeah, yeah, it had to be dope. And it was like a 12 bar. So it was easy.

48:17You know, sometimes when I'm making beats, I just write just to test drive the beat. You know what I'm saying? I come from one of the greatest producer rappers ever, Diamond Dean. Shout out to Diamond Dean. And so he got a classic album and all that. And so actually he brought me in the game. Like I was born and raised by a producer that rapped. So I always had love for producers that rap. Is hip-hop that bad now that the producers got to say, yo, we gonna rap? All right, it's not even about that. It ain't even about that, you know what I mean? It's just like, this is a natural, organic leak-up, my nigga.

48:50Like, we just make good songs together, you know, and this shit just, you know, just became something, you know what I mean? You know, this is our first real album. We dropped an EP with like three songs like a year and a half, two years ago, something like that, but it's like a full-length joint, you know what I mean? And showing the camaraderie, you know what I'm saying? Producers, I don't think it's as competitive as the rapper thing. Like, I felt like the producers, like, we all fuck with each other, you know what I mean? So, like, I used to hit him up every year, like he was saying, at the end of the year, like, damn, you kicking my ass, like, I gotta go crazier, you know what I'm saying?

49:24So, it was just a natural connect, and then, after the one record that we did, you know, he saw me rapping, and we did a record, and it went up, and it's like, got like millions of views on YouTube, and we were like, damn, I think people like seeing the camaraderie you know what I'm saying? Yeah I think that's what's the biggest attribute to the locks besides them being very very talented is their unity and their loyalty and the people love that you know what I'm saying? So many unfortunate so many legendary groups these artists don't even talk to each other no more they don't talk with each other they don't this so when we see unity like that, we really, really appreciate that.

And it's like, I still got it in me. I don't feel like, I still feel like I could get better. I feel like we got to finish business. I feel like I hit you every now and then like what's up crack we can still make some magic I don't care about none of that it's not a young man's sport they gotta stop talking about that that shit is bullshit I don't know where that narrative came from I don't know where it's lonely at the top came from cause why can't we all be at the top together all of that stuff it doesn't register with me it's just timing man and I feel blessed that you saying that y 'all was like you know how I feel about both of y 'all folks So to get that from you guys, that means I'm doing the right thing.

He'll go get Action Bronson. He'll go, he got like this, y 'all got a white mafia. Bing bong. They got a, nah, they got Y 'all got a white mafia, and I'm happy for it. Y 'all got a mob like that. I see Nems over there on that side. Ding dong. Shout out to them. Your man, Nems over there on that side, too. I feel like who reaches out? Is it Eminem or Paul? Who says, yo, we got to stick it. They ready to be down with us.

57:31They look. They say, all right. You don't know, huh? That sounds fly, though, man. But I'm on to something. No, no. Paul go get some. I'm not delusional. you know, I know what's going on. Shout out to Eminem. You know what I mean? Eminem, we don't talk about him enough on this platform. He's my brother. He's my friend. You know, I got, I can't tell you, like, I get it all the time, but I remember I did the album. What album was it where I said I retired? And I remember I was in my mother's house. My phone rang from my unknown number, and I picked it up, and it was Marshall. And he talked to me for two hours, like, yo, Joe, I've been listening.

58:08you still got it you don't need to I was like I wanted to knock on the neighbors houses and all I'd be like yo this shit fucking Eminem talking to me for an hour and two telling me yo talking me off the retirement list like yo you gotta you know you gotta stay working you got it and that's one of the biggest honors I ever had and to have that relationship with him is amazing because you know people they forget like you know how you just said yo let's go back to Rob Reed Tulo let's go back to that a lot of people forget all these different layers of what's going you know we just be stuck on 2025 and sometimes you don't think about what Eminem came out of me and Big Pun was online in fucking LA that was just before the Grammys in the sunset the fucking we waited online for that album and you ain't waiting on that line for that album if he wasn't the guy.

59:06You know what I'm saying? He was phenomenal. He was incredible. Sometimes you try to explain it to kids that wasn't there at that time. You change shit. And I'm going to tell you, you think we work hard? I've never seen nobody work like him to this day. The level that, like right now, he's in the studio. Right now, I can bet it. Every day, I'm telling you, on tour, headphones in the hotel room, writing. Still. So, you know, when I think I'm doing like that too. All the way in it. all like inside the middle of a tornado. Like, they're not coming out of it. You know what I mean? That was crazy. Yeah, that's crazy.

59:40I remember when I got him on the Lean Back remix, he said the same verse 30 times. It was the same verse. But he would say the word a little different or say it this way and this, this. And we like, fuck, we got the Eminem verse. Can we let this bitch go? And he's just like, yo, yo, yo, but hold up. Sending you another verse. It's the same verse. but like with a different tone or cadence or this and it's like 30 times and I'm like is this the one? He's a perfectionist man and shout out M. What's up with the film that's attached to the project? Man. It was a good idea that Hick came up with when we were working because we were going to do a bunch of videos you know of course and he was like we should shoot a movie you know I'm like about what you know and he was like first it was like about us and we were like nah fuck that let's just get with somebody and get a script put some bread up and shoot fucking movie to go with this out.

1:00:40Play characters outside of ourselves not just a conventional music movie where it's like a little scene and a music video pop up and ain't no shit like that it's like a real beginning middle end type shit it's a real story to it so yeah that's funny. We got Danny Trejo in there we got Simon Rex in there yeah a bunch of good actors Conway's in there High level shit. Shot on film, 16 millimeter film. It's like some high level art. You know what's crazy is, you know, when we talk in movies, it made me remember that Taylor Swift just put out a movie with her. You know, she sold 3 million records in one day.

1:01:18I heard that. Cardi B had a record for like three days. This shit incredible. 3 million in a day? In a day. So how many streams is that? We got to find out, man. it's like two zillions I think it was like merch and shit you know Birdman just said he did a trillion streams with all his artists Birdman just said it streams yeah it's crazy but Taylor Swift Cardi B broke the greatest world of world record her shit lasted three days three work days Taylor Swift came with the three million in one day like this shit and the movie this shit sold like 30, 60 million all streams no no she sold it brother man she sold 1 million copies in one day this is a fact on world goodness look it up Taylor Swift came out less than a week later and sold 2.7 million in one day with the movie you listen to the album?
