In short

Dogface (Detroit) discusses multiple rap/streets controversies and Detroit hip-hop culture. Main segments: claims about Klay Thompson cheating on Megan Thee Stallion; Allstar JR being picked up by federal agents; Pooh Shiesty “fumbling the bag”; and a debate on Detroit’s top rappers.

Guest backgrounds

Uncle Murda is a New York rapper/artist and media personality known for street-focused commentary. Dogface is a Detroit “urban podcasting” pioneer who started podcasting in 2011 and built a viral reputation for blunt opinions.

Key claims (Allstar JR)

Dogface says JR is only federally charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, not violence. He claims JR was the victim of an assault/robbery, grabbed a gun that fell during the incident, fled immediately, and left the firearm behind. He argues Junior’s Instagram timeline is contradicted by surveillance footage showing everyone arriving together at 11:30 p.m. and the confrontation at an elevator.

Notable examples

JR’s alleged timeline vs. parking-lot/restaurant footage; “checking in” as a street principle; Detroit fashion “Cardi’s” vs Timbs; Detroit top-five list includes Doug, Peasy, Babyface Ray, Skillababy, and Tee Grizzly.

It's just solely because you, it's like saying every Zimbabwe is, is stomp down African. Right. It ain't how that go, man. It's about the person. It ain't where you from is where you at.

3:56I know plenty of suckers who are in the city. Yeah.

4:00Tony Yayo:I would never diss a whole city or a whole hood. Yeah. Just me. I would never. I would. That'd be fun. I'd be liking it. Yeah. You diss New York. Yeah. I mean, I didn't, I didn't take it personally. You diss New York. I ain't even said, I ain't, I ain't, I ain't know about it. He diss New York. Get this shit on. Yeah, I had to get y 'all, bro. For what? What you mean you had to get us? Why you had to get us, man? The Harlem Shake and the motherfucker, the - Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't dis Harlem Shake now. Shout to Harlem, bro. Harlem, yo, a nigga Harlem Shake had that pistol on him, boy. Yeah, we are.

4:29Tony Yayo:Start doing all that shit, man. Yeah, we are. Harlem Shake is crazy. Yeah. That's all good. Like, yo, listen, you the most controversial nigga online we had to have you on the show. It's the real report. But we know you're the spokesperson for JR, you know, Detroit. We know the whole situation. Talk about that. We know he's in federal custody. We know he got busy. We know it's NBA young boy people and Junior and them. Like, what's going on? Because you're the spokesperson. Have you spoken to him? Yeah, I spoke to him. I spoke to him yesterday. So, I mean, how far you want me to go into this shit?

5:05Let's just give you a brief synopsis of what took place. All-star JR and Junior. nobody locked up no extra people locked up in this mouth no only one locked up is is all-star jr he's locked up and he's he's locked up and he was officially charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm uh but the amazing thing about it is is that you had multiple people who were shot by him immediately so and he's he's not charged with no crimes of violence he's not charged with shooting nobody or hurting nobody and any other gun he's solely charged with it would be in a felony in possession of a firearm a firearm that he recovered during an assault and a robbery of him that's already in the federal complaint right so when you read the federal complaint it says he's charged with being a felony in possession of a firearm uh with nothing else right and in the complaint it articulates the fact that he was the victim of an assault and a robbery because they snatched the change and pulled his watch off his arm you hear me right so that's the craziest part about it uh the other crazy part about it is that every everything that the nba camp said in response to jr and the world kind of like get becoming aware of what took place everything about that it is what it is uh it's a bunch of cats out of houston out of baton rooms basically saying the fed snatched him up because they wanted him to make a statement the statement is in the video i saw the entire video right but what the world saw was just a snippet of of what happened i've also saw the restaurant footage from the parking lot showing Jay Prince in the hole.

6:36How you got to see all this footage? Because we got motherfuckers who were in the restaurant. You know what I'm saying? We got chicks who work there. You know what I'm saying? So we got to see all that shit. And JR, after the shooting happened, he fled. He dropped the gun. He left it there at the service podium. Right? And he walked about that motherfucker, jumped in his car and got the fuck on. The feds never had the opportunity. Law enforcement, period. local state or federal never had the opportunity to talk to him because he left the gun just like some mafia shit like when you watch the old mafia movies once you bang a motherfucker you ain't got they looking for the pistol you ain't got to look for it because it's right there he left jumped in his truck and got the fuck on him and he came back to Michigan so they never had the opportunity to talk to him except through his lawyer because he lured it up right away he never had the opportunity to talk to him the only people he had the opportunity to talk to are the people who was in the hospital shot the fuck up paralyzed with shit bags on with missing fingers when he had talked to his enemies they made statements and that's why it's some confusion about or that's why it's an issue about who had the pistol who had what when where and how right they made statements uh and when you look at the federal complaint another amazing fact about it is the federal complaint says he was a victim of an assault robbery hi and i ain't advocating niggas get locked up but when you look at this shit from a straight line if you've been in trouble before at all, if you know about the legal system at all.

8:01So these niggas robbed him and jumped on him, and he grabbed their gun. And even in the federal complaint, it don't say he had the firearm with him the entire time. It says that as he was being assaulted and took for his shit, he grabbed the firearm that hit the floor. It don't say he had it the whole time, right? And he grabbed it and he banged them niggas. And it was what it was. They got what they were supposed to get for playing it how they played it.

8:31Tony Yayo:So when you spoke to him, how was his energy? He feel like he might beat that case. We beat that shit because it is what it is. Everything is spelled out. They trying to play it like, oh, they want JR to make a statement. If he make a statement, it's going to trigger a bigger indictment with Jay Prince Jr. And all the rest of that shit. It is what it is. Motherfucker, you niggas play with it. They got the surveillance footage. They have y 'all all talking the whole story that CJR made a mistake. so in his in his in his in his but ever requested trying to prove himself he took the instagram and he made an instagram post where in which he said that he arrived late at og33's party who is part of who was like second third in command of never broke again yeah yeah he said he made a statement and put it on instagram his daddy made me take it down because all you did was just give him a chronological timeline, all you do is really explain from your perspective what happened and you finna nail yourself because that shit ain't what happened.

9:26And it ain't gonna take, it don't take much. The footage itself contradicts what Junior's original statement was. The statement was, is that he was moving around throughout the course of his day. He had no idea this was gonna happen. He had no idea that he was gonna see JR. And that he arrived late to a party that was already taking place at Confessions. That's a lie You know what I'm saying The NBA OG3's birthday party With him and his family NBA Ron Dead End All them niggas It was at a restaurant in Houston Called Atlantic Ocean Right They were all there Well Junior wasn't there They were there When they pulled up the confessions They all pulled up together So when Junior said Hey I arrived late So I had to go to my aunt's birthday party Which was the family affair And I had to go to physical therapy So that's why I arrived late with no jury on and I didn't have regular mob ties, figures, or security with me because Junior never goes anywhere without security because he ain't going nowhere without no security because he ain't like that.

10:28He needs somebody to help him out. He need to help him in. He ain't just bopping around that bitch even though he's born and raised in Houston. He ain't bopping around that motherfucker by himself because he can't. So that was the statement he made on Instagram. When you look at the overall footage, especially the parking lot footage, you see them all pull up together. And he said that he was attending, he was coming, he came late because he had his aunt's birthday party and because he had physical therapy. The whole incident transpired at 1130 on April 8th. April 8th was a Wednesday. The restaurant closed at 12, at midnight.

11:04They all got there at 1130. The footage show, they all getting there together at 1130. So there was no party that Junior was late for because Junior and the NBA camp came together. And as J.R. was leaving at 1130, that's when they were coming. So the whole theory and the whole story, he put his foot in his mouth by telling that whole shit like that. And then when the NBA camp talked to academics, academics said he retold the story about he pulled up, Junior pulled up to a party that was already gone. They wasn't even there. Right When the footage Of the whole situation They wasn't there Junior All-Star J.R.

11:41Was leaving And they were coming And the confrontation Happened right at the elevator You know what I'm saying So it was an orchestrated Measurement J. Prince Jr. Is a despicable Piece of shit He's a horrible Can I cuss? No

11:53Tony Yayo:Yeah you can say Okay he's a horrible He's a horrible Cocksucking ass nigga He is not his father He is a He is not his father He's tarnishing The entire image Of the whole rap a lot dynasty empire that nigga is not his daddy he had a trust fund baby trying to be something he's not and that's why he constantly consistently finds himself in situations like we have right now it is what it is the whole when you look at duke the jeweler situation you look at the takeoff situation these guys speaking of mob ties right if it's mob ruling in fact like i told people man listen when it comes to checking in right checking in is not it's not a sucker thing Checking in really came from the streets.

12:35It's a street principle. It ain't about, oh, when I go somewhere, if I come to New York, if I check in with you, if I tap in with you, that's not me being a hoe. It's not me being a coward. It's not me being scared.

12:47Tony Yayo:Yeah, but checking in, this is how New York niggas look at it. We used to the backdoor situation since we was young. This is New York. Niggas is grimy. Bitches spit razors out their mouths. You get cut on the train. This is New York. We've been grimy. So for us, we never checked in because we not going to trust nobody. Right. So if I check in, that's how I know you were littles, right? Right. That's like my way of, yo, dog face is cool, he fuck with my man. Right. But we ain't going to go to LA and tap in with no Bloods and no Crips like that. Yeah. Niggas are just going to chill, go to their hotel.

13:21Tony Yayo:We might have Blood and Crip friends down the line, like G-Unit, but we never really... I checking in is just going to the nice hotel and staying low. right but listen let me you know let's let's let's take it down the line for a second so let's say let's go back to the five families in the coast of notion right when when when when lucky luciano or even bumpy johnson right when bumpy johnson he always came to detroit madame sinclair always came to detroit the harlemites always came to detroit to with the gangsters the black gangsters in the city of detroit in chicago as well right when bumpy and them and madam came to came to Detroit, the check-in was just like an acknowledgement.

14:00This is my territory. This is my land. I know what's going on here. I know the lay of the land. So when you come here out of respect for you and respect for me, I'm responsible. I can't have something happen to you. So I'm going to have to explain what happens to you to my niggas from Brooklyn or from Queens or from, you know, from the five. They want to know what happened. Hell yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I'm responsible for you. So the check-in thing is not for suckers. It's not for civilians. The check-in thing is for gangsters. If you come to Detroit, you tap in with me, you tap in with little, we're responsible for you because you a gangster.

14:34You come from Gangster to the Clark. It ain't for just a regular rank and file civilian. If you're a regular rank and file civilian and you have no motion, you have no there there, if there's no there there to you, then nigga, you can just go and go to the Dairy Queen or go to fucking 31 Flavors. Go to Dunkin' Donuts. That's all you want to. But if you come to Detroit, you gotta out of respect for me because I'm responsible for you. If something happens to you, the people who know me and you, right, they're going to look to me to figure out what the fuck happened with murder. They're going to call it.

15:02If something happens to you, if something happens, they're going to look to me anyway because I'm there. You ain't murdering, check in. They ain't check in with you. Check in on me. It ain't sucker shit. No, I understand. It is gangster shit. It's for gangsters. It ain't for civilians. Yeah, but for me - Some suckers do check in too, though. Yeah, they do. They do. Some suckers have to check in. Yeah, that's it. It's called - It's a flip side. Rob Markman, you know what I'm saying? Rob Markman, Yeah, they do it for the people. See, because everything is wired down. All gangsta shit, all street shit is wired down.

15:33Tony Yayo:Rob Markman, But see, my checking in might be easy because I'm going to say, we go to Chicago, nigga's going to be like, yo, let's go check out O Block, tourists. I'm not doing that. I'm going right to the Waldorf. Rob Markman, Right. Rob Markman, I'm ordering my room service. Rob Markman, I'm kicking back. I'm in downtown Chicago. I'm chilling. Rob Markman, If I go to Detroit, I'm going to be at the Athenium Hotel. That's a nice spot, right? He's been going there for years, chill downtown, go to M &M's spot, get some good food, might go to Coney's. Rob Markman, No, you just violated by saying that shit.

16:02Don't say that shit no more. Rob Markman, Yo, that's my brother. I'm going to the Spaghetti spot. Rob Markman, I'm going to the M &M's spot.

16:08Tony Yayo:Rob Markman, Yo, listen, I'm going to the M &M's spot. I'm going to the Coney's. Rob Markman, I'm going to Coney's. Rob Markman, Why you saying he ain't going there? Rob Markman, Spaghetti spot. I'm going to the M &M's, bro. Rob Markman, Hey, where's your mama teaching you about? I'm with Detroit. What you mama teach you about eating motherfucking spaghetti? What'd they tell you? I don't know. I don't know that. They told you don't eat those, you don't eat about spaghetti. No, when you, next time you come, we gonna take you somewhere where it's just like home. But we gonna go to Eminem's spot too and go to that too.

16:36Tony Yayo:Shout to Eminem, shout to Shady. That's family. They invite you there too. It's a Detroit thing, man. Pontiac thing. Nah, I ain't going there. And what is it with the Buffs? Y 'all love Buffs. You got diamonds all in that shit. It's jewelry. Detroit, it's jewelry. It's like you can take your chain off, take your box off. them cardies they call them buffs we call them yeas okay know what i'm saying it's just different variations you have wires you have woods and you have buffalo uh okay you know what i'm saying so it's different variations of car here the glasses but they cardies you know what i'm saying it's just different variations i got wires i get bust i have woods you know what i'm saying it's what it is you know it's levels to this so you throw diamonds you can throw diamonds anything from the woods to the wires to the buffs the buffs are the most expensive of the cardier line right now I know Detroit niggas take their shit seriously.

17:21Tony Yayo:I feel like y 'all started that, right? Did you say you started Cardi's? Y 'all go the hardest with them shit, so I ain't gonna lie. Like New York niggas fuck with the Cardi's, but. Yeah, we're the ones who turn. So like, so like, Cardi's is a staple of Detroit, kinda like Tim's is for New York. Nobody, Tim, niggas from New York, New York's hip hop community, they made Timberlands popular. Exactly. Simple as that. Nobody else can claim that. You know what I'm saying? There's other things, but just when it comes to Timbs, with New York being the cradle of hip hop, all fashion, all things hip hop and the culture as it specifically relates to hip hop, it all started here in the Mecca.

17:58This is Mecca and Medina. You know what I'm saying? So I don't give a fuck where you from, man. I'm 53, so I'm a first generation hip hop here. I grew up listening to everything from Stets to Sonic to Grandmaster Flash to - Run DMC. Of course. and run DMC actually changed the game. Because niggas went to wearing jerry curls and silk shirts and boots and shit to coming through with the dobs and with the leather joints and the adidas and shit like that. So it is what it is. Cardi's is like a staple. Bro, you can have Cardi's with nothing in them. Just some woods or some wires, some plane. That shit is worth more than having a watch on or a chain on.

18:34You can get pussy just on having Cardi's in Detroit. It's like that. Nah, Detroit. Cardi's like a Superman shit. Well, it's like Clark Kent. Without them, I'm Clark here. Well, I'm jumping over shit. I'm jumping over shit.

18:49Tony Yayo:They don't play with their Cardis out there. Jury game too. I love Detroit, man. I love it out there. Detroit, New York is really, it's Kendrick's spirits between the two because it's grimy, work hard, you ain't getting shit for free, it's fast paced, and a nigga put your ass down without thinking about it. And they get your ass together. Who you say is your top five out of Detroit? A lot of rappers out of Detroit. Who you say is your top five? My top five? Out of Detroit. My top five out of Detroit, Tough Tone, Cheddar Boy, Tough Tone is one. I remember the Cheddar Boys. Cheddar make it better.

19:22Tony Yayo:Them niggas had some money back then. My top five, Tough Tone, of all time? Or just right now? You could do it right now, man. I mean, you could give me a top five of all time and right now. Okay, top five of all time, Tough Tone. You got to throw Trick Trick on there. You said top five, Trick my man, but he's not in the top five as far as making niggas get out in the groove and boogie. I listen to music that coincides with the way I think, either what I'm doing right now or the shit that I'm thinking about trying to do. You feel what I'm saying? Like, for example, I listen to Jay-Z because that's intelligent thug music.

19:59When I'm ready to go bust a nigga in the head, I'm going to listen to some G-Unit 50 shit because of the struggle associated with that shit. I listen to music that inspires my thought process or it inspires what I wish I could do. You feel what I'm saying? So now I know.

20:18Tony Yayo:There was a point where everybody, it was only you, only knew Trick Trick in Eminem. You got to shout out to Trick Trick, man. Trick is respect. You're right. I knew Trick before he was Trick. I knew Trick when we was in prison together on the big yard, the back 40. But when it comes to lyrical inspiration, no, motherfuckers respect Trick because he's a man of substance and what he says he means. And for all the sacrifices that he made for the city of Detroit in terms of trying to establish a network. You know what I'm saying? When you come here, you bump in and you get it, right? But when it comes to lyrical shit, no.

20:51When it comes to lyrical shit is -

20:54Tony Yayo:Well, he in my top five. Who did you get you? Him and him and them. Definitely. Rob Markman, Yeah. You gonna be a weight motherfucker. You waiting for me to say Eminem my top five. Eminem my top five. What, nigga? You asked me though. You said Tough Tone. I don't even know who that is. Listen, but the motherfuckers are - You said Tough Tone. Say it. No disrespect to Tough Tone. He said Cheddar Boys. No, fuck with the Cheddar Boys. I remember the Cheddar Boys. Cheddar make it better. I remember all that shit. So my top five is Tough Tone, Blade, Icewood, Big Hurt, Rock Bottom. These guys is better than Trick Trick and Eminem?

21:26Lyrically they're better than So lyrically There's nobody better than M As far as lyrical Putting together words But see it's two different things The guys you just named said you said they lyrical They are voices of the street Let me give you an example If you were to compare 50 to like a Nas Motherfuckers would be like Nas is more lyrical because he coming From different angles But my life I'm talking about me I'm a gangster. I come from the street. I'm listening to this shit. I'm going to rob me a nigga, a two, a three, a four. So I'm listening to shit. I understand. Like I grew up. So listen.

22:05I understand you, my brother. Let's go back. When I started, the first gangster shit I heard, like for real, for real, I'm a cool G rap fan. You know what I'm saying? On the run. I'm listening. I ain't listening to nobody in Detroit. Don't forget, I'm a first generation hip hop hit. So my top five, I can't even really name a top five out the city because I grew up listening to KRS One. I grew up listening to MC Shan. I grew up listening to Cool G Rap. I grew up listening to Special Ed. I grew up listening to, you know what I'm saying? I grew up listening to, I listen to music. But Detroit popping right now on the music scene.

22:43So who's the top five right now? Top five right now? This nigga's in Detroit that's popping right now. Top five right now. You gotta say, Doug. Let him answer, yeah. I want to see what he said. Top five right now, as far as national status. In Detroit. In Detroit.

22:58Tony Yayo:But outside of you, they bigger outside. Okay, so top five in Detroit, you got to put Doug in there. You had to put Peasy in there. You had to put Babyface Ray. Babyface Ray. You got to put Skillababy too. Yeah, Doug, Peasy. Skillababy. See, Yale trying to force me down the angle. You got to force me down the angle. Rob Markman, Skiller Baby has the biggest records out of Detroit so far. Rob Markman, I don't got to be able to stay black and pay taxes. You know what I'm saying? Stay black and pay taxes. This is politics with me. No, I ain't, you know what I'm saying? Nah, but all I'm saying is - But keeping the G though, so it's Doug, Skiller, Peasy, Babyface Ray, and I would give the fifth spot.

23:37In that particular order? No, yeah, yeah. You give it to Skiller Baby. Yeah, because they all - You say Skiller twice. You already said Skiller twice. So Doug, PZ, Skillababy. Oh, Icewear V.

23:48Tony Yayo:Icewear V, though. No. You can't. Doug, PZ, Babyface Ray, Skillababy, Tee Grizzly. That's my top fact. Oh, yeah, yeah. I could agree with that. And no particular order. Got you, okay. That's my top fact. Yeah, because Tee Grizzly first day out definitely was - He changed the game for the season. Yeah, that shit was crazy. The success of Tee Grizzly's first day out, it really, so listen, It did something for the city because before that you had the Eminem's, Lyrical Giant. You had the Big Shines. You had the Days Lopes, right? As far as people who had reached international success with the hip-hop shit, we hadn't had a voice in the streets.

24:28Like New York has had many voices. You know what I'm saying? You got motherfuckers who are legends in just a tri-state area. You hear me? So Detroit, we never had motherfuckers who really give the world what's happening on the street level in the city of Detroit until the successive first day. And the successive first day out really showed the executives that that street shit, they just a backpack boom bap shit. You know what I'm saying? That street shit can sell. Chick Risley made them motherfuckers believe and know and understand that it's a different level, it's a different side to Detroit than what we have been accustomed to.

25:04It's different from Royce to Eminem to the Trick Tricks.

25:07Tony Yayo:Big Sean, we didn't throw Big Sean on that list? Big Sean, what you mean? He's from Detroit, right? Big Sean. You mean, I'm listening to motherfuckers who really tell the story of the streets. Oh, but Big Sean. You know what I'm saying? Big Sean is a lyrical great too. Big Sean, let's get it out of the way. Eminem, Big Sean, the day's lowest of the world. They are all great. Royce 5 '9". Royce is a lyrical genius. But I don't listen to none of that shit. I don't get in my car, in my truck, none of that, and pop none of that shit on. I put shit on Where niggas gonna get robbed Killed And Gonna sell some dope Around this bitch A pimple bitch Around this bitch You know what I'm saying That's what I'm listening to I ain't listening I don't wanna hear no Nigga I'm talking about I want It's money holds Cars closed And Money holds Cars closed That's it So I know a UGK fan then Pimp C Oh motherfucking chorus Yeah That's my shit right there Yeah no doubt Yeah Uncle Murda He always robbed niggas in music Yeah When it comes to advancing your education, you have more options than you think.

28:08Tony Yayo:Jeezy, drug dealer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What you feel about Gucci, though, with all this bullshit going on? Gucci, I mean, Gucci, he didn't gave his player card, he didn't gave his card away. You can hand me that motherfucking, you can run that bitch. You know what I'm saying? It's the whole thing. My honest opinion about the Gucci shit is that, so it's two different angles. One, we can say, okay, he's not the Gucci of old. He's a businessman, he's older, he's wiser He's more established, he's married and blah blah blah But you can't forget, listen, once you raise your hand Once you raise your right hand You pledge allegiance to the streets Sure Then whether you are actively involved in the streets or not There's still an etiquette that must be observed There's still standards There's still, well you can't look at it like that Because he's business blah blah blah My nigga, well you fucking with niggas It's like I can't claim I can never claim civilian status Right but I do got a new form though It's called the Street nigga renunciation form Right we gonna give you this motherfucking form Right if you a street nigga And you no longer wanna be held to standards Then we have a Sign this paper sir So when you do do some shit That we consider against the rules And regulations of the street We can't be mad Because you do have the right to grow and mature.

29:29You do have the right to say, okay, I'm 50, I'm 45, I'm 38. I ain't got time for that shit. I'm a different type of nigga than I ain't in the street. So I'm not going to respond and react like a street nigga. You do have the right to do that. You do have the right. But at the same time, if you halfway in and you halfway out, or if you study popping that shit, because from a lyric, from a music, he's known for being, he's a musician, he's an artist. We don't know him for being a philanthropist. He's not no motherfucking mega Everest. There ain't no motherfucking Dr. Martin Luther King or Mr. Farrakhan.

29:58This nigga's known for popping shit, and he's known for establishing the anti-rat thing along the south. So if you're going to play it like that, my nigga, you can't. Now, if he had changed his lyrical content, and we see a track record of him morphing into something than what we knew him to be, a robbing, thugging ass nigga, then yeah, okay, well, you would be a fool to assume you're going to get the same shit, because we hear the difference in him now. But no nigga You don't get to play You don't get to play in the street And then get to When the shit don't go your way Nigga you don't get to do that What was he supposed to do Not that Definitely Not that

30:35Tony Yayo:Definitely agree with you You don't get to do that shit Nigga if it If it was 50 And 50 did that shit They don't give a fuck About how much studio He built How much movie How much executive shit They would try to tear his ass apart He wouldn't get that grace period Game over man He wouldn't get that grace period You absolutely right. No, nigga, you don't get that grace period. We all are beholden to something. Now, if you ain't in it, you ain't in it. It's all as well. But here's this street nigga renunciation form. You sign this bitch, and then we know moving forward that you are subject to do some bitch ass shit.

31:09And we ain't holding you to it because you already said, I give up. I don't want this shit no more. I'm straight. Free pool size to you, man. Free pool size. He's a dumb ass nigga now. I ain't saying it because two things that appear to be opposite can be true. I'm not saying that Pooch Sisey is no motherfucking Johnny Cochran. He ain't no motherfucking Adam Clayton Potter. He was young. Hey, listen, murder. This motherfucker. He shouldn't have been there. This motherfucker went to prison with the hottest record in the world for robbing a nigga about some shoes and some weed. He went to So you know you're dealing with a motherfucker Who ain't the sharpest tool in the shed This nigga went to prison Four, five years ago for robbing a nigga For some shoes and some weed You already know you're dealing with a motherfucker Of extreme low Mental capacity We know you're dealing with a motherfucker We just might say he just don't play He just might be like He got a temper The whole goal of getting any kind of money Whether you rapping or you from the street The whole goal of Of course to get out of that shit But we don't be knowing the reason behind everything Even with the whole sneaker shit We don't know the whole reason Protect the bag

32:23Tony Yayo:Like he said You gotta protect the bag You robbed a nigga and jumped in a McLaren That's like a$500 ,000 car Yeah And then the whole thing is You know what I'm saying So nigga here's the things that we have Right So I ain't gonna I ain't gonna just condemn a nigga Cause I'm gonna be a plain spoken ass nigga I ain't finna play no games Nigga You Listen, where's the protecting the bad guy? You niggas are from the slums of Memphis, Tennessee. Niggas ain't from no motherfucking Beverly Hills. Niggas ain't from the Hamptons. You niggas ain't from West Bloomfield. You niggas from the slum. You went to prison.

32:57That was your first shot at it. You done fucked up. Okay, you went to prison for four years. You put your money on hold. You motherfuckers died. Your family didn't suffer and everything. You come home and the best thing you could think of because you're disgruntled and you upset and you angry and you frustrated. The best thing you can think, and then there's nobody around you who watched you fall down the first time. You don't get many chances, man. You got motherfuckers who do four years, come home, and your life cycle is over with.

33:23Tony Yayo:Yeah, the first case was 2020 with the robbery. The second case was 2020, 2021 with the shooting. Yeah, in Miami. The third case was what? That was just that. I think he did from 2021. He got out what? 2023, Eddie? He got out last year. So he caught three cases back to back. Now look, I went to jail and got arrested the next day. So niggas looked at me like I was crazy, but that was really an office mistake. Nigga put the fake passport and the paperwork. I was excited at home, seeing my kids, you know, wild night. So I didn't check the paperwork. If I knew the fake passport was in there with my brother's name on it, I wouldn't hand that to my PO.

34:03Tony Yayo:So that was like an office mistake. It wasn't like I did some shit when I just got out, some crazy shit. And we did crazy shit when we were younger. But bro, if you got the hottest record on the street, you turn Nike. Rob Markman But he ain't seeing all his money. He feel like he feel like niggas is playing with his paperwork. Rob Markman No, I understand that. Rob Markman And some of that I seen that Boosie said, and I agree with it. I know he was thinking that everybody could say, yeah, he dumb. He did this when he was... He just came home. But look, he thought he was doing it to a street nigga.

34:30He thought he was doing it to an official nigga. So he thinking the last thing this nigga going to do is play police games. Rob Markman Watch this. Rob Markman Watch this. Rob Markman That's the last... Why? Why he that? I know he thought the last thing Gucci do was gonna play police. But he had civilians in the studio with him though. Yeah, but niggas got control of their peoples, man. You got control of a civilian? It's your peoples. So my thing is if it's your lawyer, your security, you kind of got control of what's gonna happen at the end of the day.

34:56Tony Yayo:So you think if you choke like Theo Scott Amai in a meeting, he could tell the police. He might, like a lawyer. Theo ain't been rolling with us. Rob Markman, it's about who's rolling with you. Rob Markman, Chris Lightyear ain't gonna do recipes, Rob Markman, Chris Lightyear ain't doing no sucka shit like that. Rob Markman, you know that. Rob Markman, he's gonna fight back, he's going to be tall. Niggas did us dirty, all right, we catch up with them in traffic. Rob Markman, that's what I'm saying. Rob Markman, you got some people that, it's who you rolling with. And I know he expected from him knowing Gucci and Gucci's history, he wasn't thinking Gucci was going to play a police game.

35:27Tony Yayo:Rob Markman, well the dude, the white boy that got his neck, took pictures of his neck and his wrist, he's telling. Rob Markman, that's a cameraman. Rob Markman, he's a civilian. Let's go up top with this shit one time. Let's go up top. Go up top. Now watch this. He said, so let's go with that. He wasn't expecting Gucci to respond or to react like that. Because of what? Not because of his personal experience with Gucci. He never thugged with Gucci. When he met Gucci, he met Gucci after he came home. He met the Keisha Kiora version of Gucci, right? So you didn't expect something. That's like little kids grow up believing That said rapper is this nigga Nigga that whole shit was created in the studio Or whatever you think You believe that a nigga was going to respond And react to something Based on what you know about his public persona Based on reading some shit in a magazine Based on hearing his story on Yo MTV Raps Or Rap City or something You don't even know him to know that You got niggas in Atlanta who know that he was never that You know what I'm saying You got niggas who, he didn't shoot Pugilo.

36:32He just claimed it for publicity stunt purposes. You know what I'm saying? Oh, he ain't clapping for it? Yeah, he ain't clap that nigga, right? So the whole thing is - So security clapped him? Who clapped him? He's been claiming that for the longest. Because it's niggas claiming - I know niggas who claim - I know niggas who say they fuck hoes and never fuck the hoe. I know niggas who claim and never did it. I know it's all kind of shit. There's all kind of shit niggas that do. My point is, he didn't think he would do it. That's a life lesson. So the shit that happened with these niggas, right?

36:58I don't have no sympathy for the niggas, right? Because you have been twice. You got to have sympathy for the young guys. I'm going to tell you why I don't got sympathy for them. If you was in the streets, you got to. I just heard you say you was in the streets. You was in jail. You was been with Trick Trick 17 years in jail. So you got to have sympathy for the young guys now. Even if they make a mistake. Damn. So listen. So listen. There is errors and there's mistakes. The shit that Pusayci just did now, I would give you a mistake. The first, young, wild, don't got a clue. He don't understand what you're going to lose when you bust your joint in the, when you bust a move in Miami with the car and the weed and the shoes.

37:3325 is still young. 25 is young. Bro, at 25 years old, I was sitting in prison cells. So I had a gang of experience, right? And I know that motherfuckers had different levels of maturity and niggas have got different levels of get down. But we dealing with motherfuckers who, listen, the first time, okay. Nigga, you a rock star. You could change your whole family's life. And if nobody didn't tell you why you was living in the moment I'm sure why you was sitting down there four years Because when he was in prison he was on protection Nigga he was on protection in prison He was on blue hole car In prison That nigga with a stump in the yard That nigga was on PC And he was standing up Eating his food He knew what that shit tasted like He put in that bitch thugging and stabbing those niggas So he nigga If they don't snap you into the reality of this shit Ain't nobody Ain't no lawyer no executive from Atlantic Ain't nobody tell you Hey listen bro You sitting in this bitch This your four years Your whole family Ain't come from poverty Here's your opportunity When you come back home You're gonna be on fire Get your money Get your level right Nobody had that conversation It's either that He doesn't have the mental capacity To understand that And that's a whole different subject If you saying this nigga Get locked up Do four years Well he hit the top of the rap game He get locked up Remove himself from the equation Shut his money down And cut his family legacy off At the hip right there You do four years You come home And you still just as stupid as you was You don't know no better than none of that shit you did?

38:53You think that shit was going to be that? Nah, bro. It's just he LD then. If you saying that, you saying this nigga is LD.

39:00Tony Yayo:You got to look at NBA Youngboy. That nigga got locked up. His team sent him to Utah. Nigga made$100 million in the garage. Know what I mean? His team wasn't letting him do that. When I was getting in trouble, it was lawyers. Scott Lehman. Well, that's why I poochized him. He was trying to get a new team. Sometimes you need people. His team wasn't. He was trying to get a new team. Your team is personal. Your team ain't even. Your team is personal. There has to be somebody in. There has to be somebody in the equation And I'm not just blaming him But I'm blaming him because he's a man In the video, you go to jail, you go to Rikers Island Niggas, one nigga, they're going to pop their picture on That's you and you, ain't me, we can all go together We're going to get our pictures popped separately It's one nigga in your ID when you go to the penitentiary, right?

39:36You know what I'm saying? When you go to the parole board You're going to have a discussion about your freedom from that judge It's you So my nigga, you sit down and locked down four and a half years You getting scrolls off in that bitch You sitting back thinking and it never crossed your mind that one fucking time. I done fucked up here. Then when you come home, you come home, you're not even home a year and you jump into that and you thought that shit was going to work. Man, listen, you and you at 25 years old, y 'all come out the streets. The streets basically shit it's all out. Respectfully.

40:08Pause. Pause, right? Come on, man. The streets, do y 'all come get the, man, what? Ain't nobody, you ain't had not one phone conversation about And I don't need no nigga to tell me nothing about, no mistake. When I went to prison, I was in that bitch. I was like, well, it's on. I knew exactly what happened. And my only thing is I hope I get another opportunity to go home and make this shit right for myself, not for nobody else. My nigga, that shit that nigga did was the stupidest shit in the world. That shit was slow bush, slob against the window ass behavior, my nigga. That was wear a helmet type shit.

40:42And there ain't no excuse for that shit. You try to force it allegedly, trying to force all allegedly. You trying to force a nigga to sign a contract? And you think that's finna... You trying to sign this, I'm free of you. That's not the first time that been done. It ain't. I'ma tell you where he got it from. I'ma tell you why he thought this shit was a bright idea. Nah, them niggas don't know. That's the first... That's the first... I bet you... I bet you don't know nothing about that. We talking... Them niggas don't know nothing about that shit. You know where he got it from? Who? Big 30. Don't forget Big 30 was signed to Moneybagg Yo.

41:21Tony Yayo:Oh, okay. Now we learned something. And Big 30 muscled his way out of that situation with Moneybagg Yo. I know. That's where, and Big 30, his right-hand man. So I'm thinking, if you think about it, Big 30 was signed to Moneybagg Yo. They went at it. They started doing songs against each other. And then all of a sudden, Big 30 is not signed to Moneybagg Yo. I think it's forever, endless free entertainment, some shit like that. He's free agent. So I'm willing to, I would bet my finger that that whole concept of this, how we gonna muscle this nigga out like this, I bet you that was from him looking at Big 30 situation with Money Back Yo and how Money Back Yo kind of like, go on, hit on.

41:59I'm willing to bet you that's where you got that shit from.

42:01Tony Yayo:This is why niggas don't want to sign all this no more. Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly. This is why niggas don't want to sign all this no more because you sign all this and it can go bad either way and you, the CEO, you to blame. so niggas ain't gonna blame you like a Jimmy Iovine or a different, or like a - Birdman or a - No, Birdman, they gonna blame you. I'm talking about, but if you like a Jimmy Iovine or one of them - They ain't gonna blame the white people. They ain't no Lucian Granges. Yeah, they ain't not gonna blame Lucian Granges. They ain't gonna blame them niggas. No, that's true. Because black people - They gonna always be the blame if something go wrong.

42:34Any label that's here, and that's because, and this is why. because the labels that are black run or black owned, those labels were made popular in the culture because of, bad boy is popular because of Diddy, period. It don't matter who he signed. He is the face of it. Cash Money, the face of Cash Money is Birdman. The face of No Limit was Master P. So when you attach, there's no face attached to Sony, Warner Brothers, Electric, Priority. Those are entities. Those are corporate entities. We know who run them, but those are corporate entities. So there's nobody for you to blame. You can blame your A &R back in the day.

43:09You can blame whoever you're, right? But there's nobody for you to, but the black companies are led by faces. They're led by human beings. So when something goes wrong, you point at the human being versus pointing at the label itself. So that's why that shit happens.

43:24Tony Yayo:That is true. I love it. That's a good point. Those were the faces to all the labels. Yeah. D with Rough Rider, 50 with G-Unit, J with Rockefeller. Diddy with bad boy. He's absolutely right. Yo, I just watched the Michael Jackson movie. Y 'all checked it out, yeah? No. Nah, that shit was dope, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I ain't watched a motherfucking Michael Jackson movie, man. I ain't got time for that. I'm sitting here with Uncle Murda and totally fucking shit. My man has been on this right here. I'm like laser focused. So I heard that the movie came out, you know what I'm saying? But I never gave it no motherfucking thought.

44:01My thought process was Vlad TV and - Shout to Vlad. No Jumper. No Jumper. And Real Report. And Real Report. And Real Report. And all that. The Real Report. All of that. Stay Cheese? You did Stay Cheese? No, but me and Sean, we been talking. It's going to happen. Shout to Sean Conn.

44:19Tony Yayo:You need to get me and Murdoch on there too. Yeah, so my focus has been on that. I'm not thinking about no movie, no - So explain to people how you got yourself viral on the internet. Yeah, because I'm just, I'm going to keep it real. He just put me on to you like, yo, this dog-faced nigga is viral. He speak his mind. I mean, he speak his mind. He say what the fuck he want to say. How did this whole thing come about, man, with you, man? Well, so the whole thing is, so it's not an overnight thing like people would think. There's always some there, there. So I started podcasting in the city of Detroit.

44:49Before me, there was none. I started podcasting in 2011. I'm the first person to ever do urban podcasting. Before me, there was none. The only examples I had of what a podcast was, of what this shit looked like, what it should sound like, is the Rush Limbaugh show and Howard Stern, right? I had an internet radio show in 2010 and 11 called Unleashed, and then Unleashed Reloaded when I doubled back with the motherfucker. And then my partner, my man Sessions, who was the one who convinced me to go there to internet radio to begin with, right? He said, listen, man, we got to put a visual in there because you two was like going crazy 2010, 11 and shit with the MTV shit.

45:30So we're like, man, we need to film this shit and slap this shit on YouTube. So we take it from just internet radio and just what you can hear. Because internet radio was always limited. You know what I'm saying? Because you can't listen to this shit in your car. You know what I'm saying? So we're like, man, let's film our... It was coming on every Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. Let's film this shit and slap it on YouTube like it was a YouTube video. I'm like, word, yeah, let's do it. And we did it. So that was 2011. So I've always been And when I say podcast I mean in a radio room style situation Where we talk about current events Whatever's going on in the world Of entertainment, of religion Or politics I'm talking about it all, right?

46:12And then we are I'm interviewing people And then we just talk about Whatever's going on in the world Not just Detroit But just in the world of hip hop And the world of media Whatever the case may be We film that shit And slap them motherfucking joints On YouTube I'm the first motherfucker to do that So the first time Iceware Vezo, as you mentioned him, the first podcast he was ever on was mine.

46:32Tony Yayo:Oh, okay. Oh, shit. Yeah. So the first time, motherfucker, I made that shit sexy. You know what I'm saying? I made that shit hip. I made that shit like, yeah, because niggas wasn't stunting them motherfucking internet radio, bro. But to be able to come down and sit and talk to Dogface, we pop shit and I film it and we put it on YouTube so it's like a fucking music video. I'm the first person to do that. So I've always been, I'm a cancer. so I've always been a shit talking shit popping ass nigga you know what I'm saying you're 50 oh you crazy that's why you crazy like that I've always been opinionated I've never been afraid that's why he act like yo that's why this nigga's crazy you know the vibes you were 50 again wrong this nigga you're happy now I've never been so the whole thing is when I see something and you know I pass out with anger and frustration bro if I see some hoe shit you know what I'm saying if you do it over there I don't give a fuck but if you around me If me and you cool, and if we cool, if we lock up, I'm never going to do no whole shit to you.

47:32I'm never going to say nothing bad about you. And it's a Southern saying that says, my tongue is in my friend's mouth. That ain't no, right? That's a Southern saying. I don't give a fuck. What's that? We going to change that saying today. It's still a pause. It's still a pause. That's not a saying. I don't think the South is happy with this. That's where it come from now. So the whole thing is, and what it means metaphorically speaking is, is that even in my absence, she just, she niggas got this shit bad nowadays. Even in my absence, I'm going, even in your absence, I'm going to represent you like you, the shit that come out of my mouth is going to be the shit that I know that you would say about yourself.

48:08If you a politician and you trying to avoid shit, I'm going to speak like, what I say is what you say. If I know murder is on some nigga, what? Fuck you, nigga. And I'm going to be like, nigga, nigga, what? Fuck you, nigga type shit. So the whole thing is, bro, it's not in my nature. The music business, the world of entertainment is full of fuckery.

48:30Tony Yayo:Oh, I know that. It's jam-packed with fuck shit. I get it. The music business and entertainment business is more cutthroat than the street. Oh, of course. I trust a nigga sending cracking hair around before I trust a nigga who's aiming and thirsty to be a star. Because a nigga will cram on your motherfucking back. You can help a nigga. You can put money behind a nigga. You can do everything for a nigga. And a nigga will see an opportunity. and you a whole ass nigga and you never did shit for a nigga. You dissed at the third. You're the most richest nigga in the world. So when you get into the world of entertainment, bro, it takes you a nanosecond to realize, oh, this a bitch ass nigga right here.

49:05You might not say it. You know what I'm saying? When 50 embraced you in the world of, let's go nigga, right? How long did it take you to, when you get to them boardrooms and you get around on tour and you get to seeing these rap niggas, How long did it take you to say to yourself, how long did it take you for you to call 50 and 50 to say, these are some, and he said, nigga, this, you got to, this going to have

49:29Tony Yayo:For me, we came straight from the street. So I never thought we was going to get to the level we was on. Like I was fucking with 50 when he was on Columbia. Right. You know what I'm saying? So he the first nigga to fly to Cancun, just me and him to do a song, Rowdy Rowdy. So that was my first time leaving the hood. Yeah. So all I know is the hood and music. How long did it take you once you got into it, once you signed your deal? How long did it take you to say to yourself, oh, this some bitch ass shit right here. I knew before I signed the deal. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I knew before. I'm looking at life like that.

50:01I'm looking at... Listen, it's so much flawed shit. I don't expect... I really truly... So listen, as a cancer, I'm like... I ain't... I'm a cancer cancer. I'm just the last 16th. I'm on that. As soon as you do one, listen, I'm alive right now only because of my cancer intuition. It's a cancer thing. We have a thing up here. We have a thing up here, right? He locked in. He done know. We have a thing up here. Talk your shit. We have a thing right here. As cancers, right? And I don't know what nobody else got. But I know as cancers, we got some shit right here. I'm only still alive. I'm a robber too, like by trade.

50:44I started robbing at 12. Rob Markman - So what you went to jail for, that 17th robbery? Rob Markman - No, I went to jail at 21. Rob Markman - She's a robber. Rob Markman - I'm a robber by trade.

50:52Tony Yayo:Rob Markman - But she was robber. Rob Markman - When you did that at 17, what you - Rob Markman - Rob Markman - Rob Markman - Rob Markman - I never liked the dope. I cut my first dope case in penitentiary. Rob Markman - Oh, so your shit was violent, so you just - Rob Markman - Yes. Rob Markman - Yeah, yeah. Rob Markman - You kept getting locked up or you went to the straight 17? Rob Markman - No, I did 17 straight years when I got to the penitentiary. Rob Markman, I said cancers are prone to us. Rob Markman, Yeah. We're genetically predisposed to being violent motherfuckers. You play with the cancer only so much, and you can expect a violent reaction.

51:16I don't give a fuck how well groomed and how we... You keep fucking around. Rob Markman, So no matter how much we laughing, Joe, and all that. Rob Markman, Yeah, we laugh at your ass. You know what I'm saying? You keep fucking around. Rob Markman, That definitely sound like 50-year-old. Rob Markman, You know what I'm saying? You're going to get it. Rob Markman, I'm like Aries though. We wild too, but that dude sounds like 50-year-old. Rob Markman, Fire and Water. I'm surprised. With Aries, I'm going to hang up on you. You call me, you get to do it because Aries can't control themselves. You are the leader of the Zodiac and you are a ram.

51:50You ram right into a nigga. I'm looking at this shit with y 'all in Ja Rule. I'm looking at see him Ja Rule in the airplane and niggas throwing shit. He's back in the head. I'm like, what the fuck? Rob Markman, nigga throw weeds to bullies, nigga throw a pillow at me. Rob Markman, nigga grown as fuck and see a nigga start throwing spitballs back on nigga, like shit, you fucked up.

52:11Tony Yayo:Rob Markman, like me coming, like being in the industry, I just realized like 50 had beef with everybody. We had beef with everybody, so I was so - Rob Markman, yeah, y 'all were never going to win, never. Rob Markman, yeah, so I was so used to being in a rapper cocoon. Like we never fucked with no rappers or had rapper friends. Rob Markman, right. Rob Markman, You know what I'm saying? Rob Markman, That's how I am too. Rob Markman, You know what I'm saying? We was in a cocoon for so long, that now we friends with certain rappers, it still feels You're still weird. You waiting for them to break down on you, ain't you?

52:34Yeah. You waiting for TMZ to say, we heard a phone call and so-and-so was saying something about... Niggas ain't cool no more. Niggas ain't cool no more. That's how it is in the world of podcasting, too. Beware. Because it's an open-air competition. Right? And it shouldn't be because there's no limit to what can happen. Life is competition. Yeah, it is. That's life. It is. Everybody want to be the best at what they doing.

52:57Tony Yayo:I think... That's true. Listen, I read a book called The Art of Not Giving a Fuck. I'm actually reading that book now. Thank you. And after that, it changed my life because I don't really care what other people's doing. I care about what I'm doing. That's because you got your own motion. Right. Right. So listen, caring, there's a formula to not caring. Right? The formula to not caring is access and money. When you have access and money, it's easy for you to care. That's so funny. Because you don't got to, it's an equation. I never looked at it like that. It's like advice. Access and money. Access to shit.

53:33You ain't got no access to shit. You ain't got no money. You caring on some shit. You caring about what a nigga say. You caring about what a nigga do. But listen, this is a light. I learned, I got some motherfucking money. When I ain't had no money, I was caring. Everything mattered. When I was able to go to a jewelry store or go to Saks Fifth Avenue, and I went, when I stopped caring, when I went to Saks Fifth Avenue, and I spent$25 ,000, I ain't looking at no shit. I ain't even know it's$25 ,000 until I got to the motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? One, boop, boop, boop. Now, boop, boop, boop.

54:09Money, power. When I moved my family from this to that, when I built a house from the ground up and I said, no, I don't want that. I want this molding. Right. As I started thinking that, so when I be hearing shit, like from, I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. I got boats, slingshots, jet skis, and you over here talking about some shit and you stay on, what's one of the worst streets in your hood right now?

54:38Tony Yayo:I would say, what did you say? I would say so many. Just pick one. When niggas still fight their way out of it. I'd say 134 guy, bro. Okay, right there. So, you don't necessarily give a fuck about what the motherfuckers on 134 talking about right now. Nah. It ain't much they can say to you. You know what I'm saying? they're gonna be like, nigga, I don't, what? Oh, he said something about you. Yeah, yo, nigga, in 1991, somebody stepped on your, blah, blah, blah. Like, what? Rob Markman, nigga, last weekend we was eating caviar. My first time eating caviar creme du lait. It was hitting, Murdered and Try It.

55:14Tony Yayo:Did you try it? I did try it. Oh, you did try it. It was great caviar. It was popping. We been hearing his shit. When you talking about, I'm eating stuffed quail. But you know what's crazy about it, though? Yeah. He don't be lying. Rob Markman, I'll be there. He don't be lying. Rob Markman, explain the horizons. Rob Markman, we had caviar. Rob Markman, he don't be lying. Rob Markman, I love creme du la. Creme du la is always hitting, but I never had it with caviar. It was red caviar, creme du la. What's the name of the restaurant? Rob Markman, papaya steak, poppy steak. Rob Markman, it might be poppy steak.

55:44Rob Markman, I think it's in Vegas at the Sun Blue. Rob Markman, we in the fountain blue. Rob Markman, now look. Rob Markman, I've been in poppy. Rob Markman, I'm going to send you out the footage of the caviar we eating. Rob Markman, I got the footage. I'm gonna see all the footage.

55:56Tony Yayo:Rob Markman, the cabrio, creme du lai. I never had it. That shit was hitting. I never had nothing like that. To me, it's like, and then we chilling in the room. Here comes Pat McAfee. I'm like, oh shit. Murda's like, oh shit. Cause you know, he stay on you. I stay on YouTube. He stay on ESPN. So he, oh shit, Pat McAfee. We don't like you shout out. I was just there. Yeah, we was at the fountain blue. 50 dude club live in there. Like you said, the fountain blue in Vegas? Yeah, Vegas. I stayed at the fountain blue. I got, oh yeah. That's where we stay there. Yeah. We don't think you capping big dog.

56:26Next time we out there, because 50 got like a residency there,

56:29Tony Yayo:so we pop out there all the time. So listen. So listen. You were at Poppy's Steak. That bill was hefty. Right? It was hefty as a motherfucker, right? Oh, no. It's free 99 for us. I get you. But that bill, the average motherfucker ain't going to Poppy's Steak. Oh, no. They give it 50 at. They ain't going to Poppy's, right? So you saw all I saw on Poppy's was motherfuckers. Did they put the steak in the suitcase for$1 ,000? $1 ,000 steak? in a suitcase. They come out, they're singing with the lights and shit right there. So I'm sitting there, so this is about a month ago when I was in that bitch.

57:01And then motherfuckers played for the NFL, walked up to me like, man, you dogface, I be watching you. You be tripping. You off the hook. How are you too, baby? To my point, right? Like, we could have rented to each other poppy steak. What do I give a fuck? It's money and access. I have access. I don't give a fuck about - Why they say you be tripping, dogface? Who you be tripping on, man? Man, who you got beef with in the industry, man? Everybody, man. I don't know. That's what I'm not holding. I'm putting you on. You name them. You name it. Everybody. If you a whole nigga, I don't like you. Oh, man.

57:33So that's it. That's 99 % of these niggas. You say how he feel. I don't like him.

57:39Tony Yayo:I think that's what it is. All right, cool. You see what I show? We talk about what we want to talk about. A lot of people stay away from me. I'm going to ask Dogface, how do you feel about Megan and Clay breaking up? Because I felt Clay was a square, and she was like a nice Southern girl that was, you know, wild. She's a whore. What do you mean, nice Southern girl? She's a whore. Nah, don't do that. Shout out to Megan. Yo, no, man. You don't ask me no questions, man. Shout out to Megan. Yo, he made it politically correct today. I'm going to sing. I didn't say. I didn't say why you doing that to me, man.

58:11Why you ain't going to do that to me? You don't ask me no questions, man. Why you stop this shit right now? Yo, listen. Because if you ask me a question, that's a whore. That's a whore. With a E-R, whore, the W-H-O-E-R. It's a whore bag. You know she's a whore. Why you saying? Why you saying? Get some cancer shit. Why you say that about Meg, man? She's a whore bag. Look at her behavior. She's in her rat on Tory Lanez and all that shit she did. That ain't no G shit she did. That ain't no G shit she did. He rather than rap about it. But that don't got nothing to do with being a whore. I heard the rap up too.

58:45You heard the rap up. You heard the rap about it. But that don't got nothing to do with being a whore. A whore is what a whore does. I mean, because she ratted. If she ratted because of a situation. Oh, she all that. But that don't mean she's a whore. Okay, so listen. Watch this. She's a fucking whore. Oh, my God. She's a piece of shit. She's the worst kind of bitch you can ever have. She's the bitch that your mama and granny and your auntie warns you about. That's the kind of bitch that bitch is. That bitch ain't shit. That bitch ain't shit. That bitch ain't shit because the bitch a star? A bitch a rapper?

59:16Tony Yayo:If we edited this, it's because of Roc Nation purposes. I ain't mad at you. I ain't mad at you. Hey, listen, Roc Nation, these opinions are - We can edit back there like season to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These are opinions of me. You hear me? I like Megan, yo, listen. I think her shit is dope. That pussy probably good though. I love Megan. That pussy probably good. And I think that breakup, I think this breakup gonna have her come out with some dope of music. Yeah, cause you know what? She's like Mary J. Mary J made her best shit when shit was fucked up for her. when she was and KC and JoJo when she made her best music it's pain music.

59:51But this is how we look at it, right? Marriage Day, first three albums, pain.

59:55Tony Yayo:See, you see when you look, when you were an artist, you public property, right? Yeah, you are. But like you said, she's a whore. Like Murder said, you didn't have to say that. I did, I had to say it. But she's public property, right? Listen, when I look at her overall behavior, when I look at the shit with Tory Lanez about her being mad because the other bitch is fucking nigga, and also other kinds of shit, you swapping off shit, you're fucking off, you're doing all kinds of shit, you letting your emotions leave you because you're mad because he fucking this bitch and that bitch, also goofy ass shit, nothing about that.

1:00:23If that bitch wasn't a star, you would be saying, if she wasn't a star and she found herself in separation, she found herself in, this was some hood shit, you would be saying, man, I ain't fucking with that bitch, everybody's got too much going on. If she wasn't a star, we got to separate the star shit because that's why young black boys and young black girls across the country are so fucked up now because they have bought into this because I am a star because he is this, he is that. You're not, you know, nigga, you still a human being. I don't judge no nigga according to him being no star. I don't, when I go, I can be in a room.

1:00:55Both of y 'all are stars. We sitting here kicking it like, and I know who both of y 'all are. I was in a penitentiary listening to fucking, gee, I was listening. I'm watching it. I'm watching y 'all wilding out. I'm watching y 'all. I'm watching this shit. I ain't no, I'm a fan of hip hop, bro. I'm watching when 50 got with M and basically to flip his foot, go crazy.

1:01:20Tony Yayo:Fuck everybody. We shouldn't give Megan her props for her success? Yes, you absolutely should because I mean, come on, Planet Fitness deals, McDonald's deals, Sprite deals, you know what I mean? Rock Nation is doing a lot for her. She's successful. She's successful black woman in the business. We gotta give her that. You trying to force your No, I mean, she's a successful black woman in the rock nations. Eddie, look up her deals for me, please. She has what? She gets to the back. I'm not saying that. I'm saying, listen, don't never get a successful success mixed up with their character. You'll be fucked up.

1:01:56And that's why we don't even really know. We just put out the character that we see out there. One of the reasons why motherfuckers are holding Gucci's standard is because of what we think we know about him. Right. what we judging the correctness of what he just did with Paul Shiesty based on the legend of him.

1:02:13Tony Yayo:Well, we just seen the what's that, the verses? And he said, dig your man up. And the battle was over. Right there. Okay, listen. Right there. Right there, nigga. You can never, ever, ever it's the new you. You home from prison. You are multi-millionaire. You're doing well. You've morphed. Your health is together. You're the reason a lot of these young niggas out here talking about smoking on their apps. Yeah, listen, long before Chicago was talking about smoking the op Or putting a nigga in the op pack He was talking about digging your mans up And the industry put him at the front Of the line so he can say Long before Dirk and Vine and them Was putting a nigga in the op pack From 63rd and O Block He was every hood nigga Niggas didn't listen to Gucci Because he was lyrically He ain't no fucking murder This nigga is Nigga Some things you don't be lying about Yeah we don't listen to that shit for that shit We listen to him cause he thugging He a southern thug life ass nigga You wanna believe this story It's true What story?

1:03:15Just anybody's story over the world Yeah you want As a rapper That's Right now more than ever There has to be some air of believability In the motherfuckers package Or you never gonna make any music better now I don't believe it A nigga want you to be off the edge A nigga want you to be down in the penitentiary The nigga Skillet baby he got signed not that he wasn't a good rapper after he got shot after he got shot how many niggas get shot halfway in the penitentiary and get deals they the white people giving niggas that you know what I'm saying you want a big podcast deal let's go to jail we come out of this bitch let's have a fucked up mug shot let's have a fucked up excuse me let's have a fucked up mug shot murderers yayo and doggy We mouth all twisted.

1:04:04We hair nappy. No, glasses, bro. We going to get a podcast deal. They calling. They love controversy. They love to see a nigga on a downward spiral. And they lift you back up and put you out there as if you're the best thing ever.

1:04:21Tony Yayo:Why do you think negative energy goes further than positive energy in black community amongst us? Because there's so much negativity around us and we see so much failure. We see so much We see concentrated failure every day You wake up, you grew up I grew up and I see failure Where I look Inside your own household And outside of it Don't be from straight poverty Because everything looks good to you A hot dog is like a motherfucking steak When you come from nothing Don't be from poverty You come out and y 'all from where y 'all from But don't go to midtown Manhattan and see all that shit in Times Square.

1:05:02Don't look at the niggas going to work in suits and the New York Stock Exchange and what the fuck is that? Y 'all, I'm willing to bet that the average motherfucker in New York, the average young kid from New Yorker don't really know what the Stock Exchange is about. And they're from New York. So just imagine a nigga not being from here and that shit being like... No, niggas come to New York in awe. So to answer your question is because there's so much concentrated negativity in the black community Which is why we attach We Big Meach is a celebrity Even though you got niggas who Wasn't even alive When he was free Right?

1:05:41And what the fuck did Big Meach He got no motherfucking Adam Clayton Powell Got no Marcus Garvey Why you have so many young black girls And so many black boys looking up to a motherfucker Who's so dope And if your mama was on dope anywhere in the world He probably gave it a dope to her You know what I'm saying Let's just keep it G. We got to keep shit funky. So I'm not even condemning him necessarily, but anybody who's achieved any measure of success in the hood, the more we look up to them no matter how they got it. We don't give a fuck he sold crack. We don't give a fuck if a nigga sold hair on.

1:06:15Nigga, I look up to Bumpy Johnson. I don't give a fuck. Bumpy was known for doing what? Whistling Dixie? No, nigga. How many Gandolfinis? How many, what's all the mafia niggas' names? How many rappers from New York who never made it for real, for real? How many street legends got mafia Italian mobsters' names? And then look at the history. I grew up watching school days, so I know a large segment of the Italian population in New York City don't necessarily get along. And let's fight and leave a line. Let's fight and leave a line. Little Italy ain't the most inviting place for little Robert or little Billy.

1:06:52You know what I'm saying? Back in the day, I know how it is now.

1:06:54Tony Yayo:Yeah, back in the days, I believe that. You know what it is, though? So the whole thing is we look up to anybody who has anything that we aspire to have or any position that we aspire to kind of like put our set. My first hero was Jesse James. That's my first hero. Jesse James. Billy the Kid. Yeah, Billy the Kid. Smoke your motherfucking boots. Yeah, the cowboy movies. Yeah, I looked at that shit. Fuck with all the cowboy movies back then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But see, now if you rob a nigga, that's frowned upon. You a sucker. You can't get no hustle. You a robber. You a worse. so you robbers are the bottom of a nigga fuck with a scammer before he fuck with a robber we at the bottom of the tunnel pole so I can't so Jesse James was a bitch ass nigga no nigga bonding clad with hoes they are they robbed banks that robbery was that's the American pastime that's what's the great American way no nigga I'm a robber I never fall off you better hope I never fall off I hope I never fall off.

1:07:58Listen, on my mama and everybody mama in this room, if I fall off, nigga, I'm robbing again without thinking about it. You know what I'm saying? I'm the kind of motherfucker I can have, I have money. I still be looking at that nigga like, yeah, nigga, you lucky. I ain't got time for that. You know what I'm saying? Because you's a bitch. I'll take that from you, you little bitch ass nigga. See?

This episode of The Real Report features Dawgface out of Detroit pulling up with Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda for a raw and unfiltered conversation that dives deep into Detroit culture, street codes, and the music industry, from explaining the connection between Detroit and NYC and the city’s slang to breaking down his rise through viral moments and podcasting in his hometown. Dawgface gives his take on the current state of the city with strong opinions on the Top 5 rappers in Detroit and how artists like Tee Grizzley shifted the sound, while also reacting to major headlines including Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion drama, calling out the situation in his own blunt way. The crew also touches on street accountability, checking in across cities, and industry pitfalls, highlighted by discussion around Allstar JR getting picked up by the feds and whether Pooh Shiesty fumbled the bag, tying in commentary about Gucci Mane being seen as a civilian and what that means for credibility, leading into a broader conversation about protecting opportunities, street mentality versus business moves, and how quickly things can go left in both the streets and entertainment world.
