The Real Report - Kountry Wayne on Drake vs Kendrick, comedians being sensitive, parenting 10 kids, and 'Nostalgia' comedy special

18:34So y 'all playing with the game. It's just like playing with the dope in the streets. The plug go gambling too much. All of a sudden, it ain't coming back the same. Too late. Whatever you done did, man. Now all of a sudden, it stepped on. It ain't coming back the same. But the plug going to make sure.

18:52Tony Yayo:It's wet. It's wet. Yeah. So, you know, you got to put up your own money and start your own platforms in this game. And that's my next step is to get my own platform and network because they play games out here, man. We ready. We ready for you, man. Because I remember you saying you've never been in a major film. I don't see why. You funnier than a lot of niggas. Yeah, but what it was with me, though, you know, I'm not out there like everybody. I got my own audience and I don't really play the Hollywood game the same. And when you don't play that game, people can feel it before they meet you. So people don't really reach out to you the same if you ain't got that warming.

19:32But I am like, I'm in New York. You know what I'm saying? All of a sudden, you know what I'm saying? I'm on y 'all podcast. You feel what I'm saying? Because you're going to run across them real ones. The real ones. You're going to run across them real ones. And if you don't play that Hollywood game for real where you're like all friendly, the game ain't going to mess with you. But, and I appreciate them not doing that because it allowed me to get in the space I am. Because they right, I ain't going to do certain stuff. I don't care if it's a billion dollars on the table, man. At certain, it's like at some point, the integrity going to kick in.

20:08Like, bro, I ain't doing that. It ain't about the money. And people who really like that in the game, they really don't get approached the same anyway. So a lot of opportunities I had to go create on my own because they ain't really going to come to you unless you going to treat them a certain type of way. Like if you bring me an opportunity, hey, I'm finna put my work in. I appreciate it though, but I ain't finna do nothing extra and be like, make you feel like this and that. And in the room, I'm like, bro, I ain't got the energy. I ain't no good. I ain't good at that part of the game.

20:35Tony Yayo:Right. Kissing ass brown ass. Nah, nah. I won't put nobody in a position to do me like that because God don't even make us bow down to him. He don't tell us to bow down like that. That's a choice to buy down. So like, man, at the end of the day, we all putting our gifts and talents and minds together. Let's just get it. It's different for you. You so dope with your family, your pops. So the family down there, cut the street. It's not only street, niggas, brand an operation together. I like how you said when they say, yo, man, yo, just be low, man. Because you said, I ain't got to be low. Y 'all niggas just don't tell on me, man.

21:06Tony Yayo:Yeah. I don't got to get low, nigga. Y 'all just don't tell. Yo, nostalgia, if you haven't seen it, Y 'all go to Amazon Prime. This motherfucker is fucking as fuck. That shit is hilarious. Like real talk. Because I feel like some comedians just got good management. I don't want to say no names. I think this is not funny. Yeah, it's the Talk of New York, Tony Ayo. And this the boy Ledjet Lenny. Whoa! And right now we representing Baskin Lava, black owned. One of my best products that I love to use is the beard grow because I want to use, you know, pull a whole beard out. I've been working on my waves, so I've been messing with this one.

My top five comedians all the time? Yeah. Well, you got Eddie Murphy. I'm going to put the Kings and Company in one batch, because what they did was special together. Right. You got, man, I got to throw Kevin hard enough because he was funny. You know what I mean? He's still funny to the day. This is his time. Like, this is his time, period. Yeah. And then he had it for a long time. So when people do that, bro, you can't really omit that.

22:53And Cat Williams, for sure. And then I'm going to go to Mike Elks. Now that I'm in the game and understood and learned different, I went to like Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock. I understood now, oh, I went to one of Dave Chappelle's shows and I remember a comedian was like, man, he ain't really make me laugh. I said, he ain't make nobody laugh like that all night. But he the best comedian I ever seen because now that I'm a comedian, I understood why Dave Chappelle a monster. I was like, ooh. So it's different. I got a different mindset, but all them legends that I just named was the ones that when I was in the streets, I was watching, they got me to a certain point.

23:31But now that I'm here, I watch everybody. I watch Dave Chappelle. I watch Chris Rock. I watch Bill Burr, you know what I'm saying? I'm watching Nate Pregaski right now. It's like, oh, you have more respect for the game. And I think comedy, what comedy mess up at, I always say, no game will be bigger than the NBA because one thing about NBA players, even if they don't like each other, they keep it real about each other. Nah, that's your cahoot. God darn, in the comedy game, it's like whoever you cool with, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, sometimes you just got to keep it G. be like nah that person but uh all the comedians funny man i'm the only comedian that be like man every comedian funny is they is they is they timing but everybody can't go on stage subject matter so it's like if i'm talking about if i'm talking about the streets y 'all gonna be like man why ain't funny but it's gonna be somebody over there gonna be like man that's on that's on man ain't funny yeah because you can't relate right and a lot of other stuff man i can't relate to So it be like, but I still see the timing in it.

24:33It's like surgery matters. I'm like, bro, that ain't what I, what you talking about? Politics, I don't get it. Because I'm like, bro, when you from the streets, we got so much to try to figure out at home. Man, I don't know who the, man, I don't know who the president, I don't know who the, man, I don't even know who the vice president is right now, man. Sometimes. I be like, man, if I had to put my life on it. Yeah, I don't know that shit. I don't know who the vice president is. because but to somebody else when you go talk about politics they be hitting it and I'm like but that ain't my cup of tea but then if I talk about women and kids and being a player and keeping a G they say oh I got all that shit for you like yeah I'm that guy I can write a book so a lot of comedians a lot of comedians think I ain't funny but a lot of comedians just ain't grow up the way I grew up the average comedian ain't grow up the way I grew up anyway so I'm like I know my audience bro I know my audience

25:24Tony Yayo:definitely bro I can tell you I can tell y 'all I'm calling y 'all family up. Okay, I can make y 'all laugh. Oh, nah, of course. I watch Nostalgia Creator. That shit's crazy. But it's just like, when it comes to comedy, man, it's all about that subject matter. And everybody got to choose they subject. And don't worry about who don't think you funny. You know what I'm talking about? Tyler Perry got the way he was at. Cause he's like, whoever ain't think this was good, I know who in the South, we connected to that. Right. We got Big Mama though. We got, get out of that goddamn important instead of I knock across your head.

25:55So it's like for everybody like, man, that junk. It's like New York. A person be like, oh, up north and the person down south might not feel that. A person down south, it's because it's such a matter where you're from or who you know. And then - You relate to certain shit more. You relate to certain stuff more. And then it's just like, oh, okay. You still see the timing and respect the timing. But that stage is a different beast. I'm glad it's hard though. Because it's one thing about a comedian. Once you become a comedian and you can go on stage, you can go get it forever. Damn. Everybody ain't coming to the stage.

26:26Tony Yayo:You think it feels like, cause you know when we do a show, like say we do a show with 50 and there's a crowd out there. You know, you get a little nervous, like, oh shit. You know what I'm saying? Shit's crazy out here. Crowd, make sure you don't fall, you know, use the bathroom. Cause you know, nigga, before we do a show, I gotta take a shit every time. You know what I'm saying? I gotta, cause if you up there for two hours, like what's the process? Cause what I, my process is, y 'all gotta relax for a minute, stretch a little bit, make Make sure I take a shit. Don't eat nothing crazy. You know what I mean?

26:56Tony Yayo:Take it easy on the liquor. My boy always says prayers before we hit that. Yeah, definitely say my prayers. My boy be serious with that. Serious. What is your thought process? Same thing, man. I don't eat nothing too heavy. And I pray. I pray before I go on that stage, you know. And cause it's different. Cause with the music, you got that. One thing about it, you got that beat with you. Music is hard. Y 'all get help. Y 'all got help, nigga. Yeah, with music, man, it's hard to bomb because it's like you still got that beat. When you got that comedy, man, it ain't nobody but you. And when you do music, they want to hear your song that you saw last year.

27:34They waiting for they shit to come on. Once somebody hear a joke, it's over. Like when that nostalgia's special, I can't tell them jokes no more. They not gonna laugh the same. You gonna laugh the first time, that's it. Got you.

27:45Tony Yayo:Definitely, you gotta switch it. So with comedy, it's a different ball game, different beast, you gotta stay creative. you got to keep. Because, like, if y 'all go on tour, man, I want to hear the music, bro. I want to hear the music. But I heard comics remix jokes. They do. They remix jokes. Oh, take other biggest jokes. No, no, no, no. They'll say the same jokes. If you go to some shows, they'll say the same jokes in multiple shows, but they might have more material. But they'll remix some of these same jokes that was hitting. Not when that shit on Netflix or something like that. The rule is, though, but that's why most comedians won't drop a special.

28:16Of course. Better believe it. Okay. That's why when you drop a special, you get pushed to another level. Got you. Comedians know how hard it is. So it's like a prestige thing. It's like a secret in a comedy game. The reason why Kevin Hart and Cat Williams and Mike Epps don't know where they at, nobody can't really, because social media people want to drop specials. Because once you drop that special, you got to come with a whole new material. You got to come with a whole new material. Yeah. Like Nostalgia on Amazon Prime. Make sure y 'all watch that. He can't use that again. That shit. Nostalgia draw.

28:47When nostalgia draw, I had to go back on the road January, work on new material. So by the time people see me, because this week, I got to go to Nashville. Man, they don't want to hear that. Got you. They don't want to hear none of them jokes. Got you. And you got to come up with new jokes. So most people play it safe. I ain't doing no special. So I can keep going with them on these jokes. I'd rather do 20 minutes on a packing show. You know what I mean? Because if I tell these jokes, you probably ain't remember them last year. But if you seen it on TV, you going to remember it. Oh, yeah. And sometimes - Like, man, this nigga doing this shit again, man.

29:18Exactly. So that's the hardest thing in comedy. And that's - You can't do that.

29:22Tony Yayo:You can say the same rap again. Yeah. But you can't say the same jokes again. Because you see the setup. I went to my sister house and be like, oh, look, I know he ain't finna go this - The same ass joke, man. His sister boyfriend comes to the door. So it's like, man, with comedy, that's the prestige of it. That's why Cat Williams is where he at. And that's why when you get big, they stay big forever. Because Cat don't gave you hour after hour after hour. Kevin Hart don't gave you hour after hour. Mike Ellis, hour after hour. Dave Chappelle, hour after hour. And when it comes to social media, Country Wayne, the only one that don't gave you hour and hour.

29:55You know what I'm saying? And they can say what they want to say. That's why I know the game. It's like you got to drop no special. You got to get rid of that material. And then you got to go live. You got to go live. You got to get in relationships. You got to go live your life to get no material because it's like that's the only way you really going to get it. Got to live this shit. You got to live. You got to experience this shit. If you don't experience it, the audience is going to feel that you just talking. You're going to sound like anybody else.

30:18Tony Yayo:But the thing is with him, Mert, is that he got the soap opera shit too, though. So I'm like, when I look at him, I'm like, yo, this nigga could be the next Tyler Perry. Not to put in comparison, but you see a lot of people going independent, like 50 doing his own shit. Tyler Perry doing his own shit. Cat Williams bought a studio in Alabama. We waiting for him to do his own shit. And now you doing your own shit. Yeah, to be honest, man, that's social media, bro. Once I seen it, this is how I looked at it, man. I was like, everybody phone in they face. So, like, everybody ain't watching TV, you know what I'm saying?

30:56So, I like, if I put out enough of these, I don't see people in the trap have more, get money just like the plug. So, I was like, so, you know, I ran it on social media, to be honest, I ran it up to where it generates seven figures a month. You know what I'm saying? Not no seven million. Don't start waiting outside for my nigga like, fuck that. This is worth it, nigga. This is worth it, nigga. That nigga said he making$7 million a month. I ain't making no worth of$7 million a month. You know what I'm saying? But I generated the seven figures a month because I figured out, man. I'm like, I'm 38.

31:30So I'm like the old generation. But I got the YN generation in my mind because I got no kids. So I understood that all the odds are really on social media. TV really can't get as big as something who got momentum. Because it ain't never coming. The hardest thing I remember times. I can tell you every rapper run, when they kind of 50, I remember how they felt. I know what it was when they was about to blow. Because I got a good memory. You remember when DVDs and stuff came? Of course. You think that stuff going back, oh, this only going to last you. We wanted to go backwards because we fell in love with it.

32:11But you got to admit when it's over. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's like when 50 came, I was in on a girl named Linda. Shout out Linda, my baby mama cousin. She was in Connecticut. Yo, this guy here. My baby mama cousin. And she came down south and Wankster came on. I mean, she was saying it was about to come on Warner Sisson Park or something. This was before in the club. I'm right? Yeah, Wankster was before in the club. All right, check this. So she kept telling us, oh man, 50. I'm like, man, why she keep hiking and all? We from the South, but she was on it so hard, right? So it made us watch the video.

32:47And I see his confidence in the video. You know what I'm saying? In high school, you wasn't. So that's what got me. I'm like, okay. You can relate to that line, like really.

33:00Tony Yayo:Exactly. When the club came, you felt that wave. And you would think, oh, this wave is finna be over. the way it might be, but that person is gone. All them people make it. You know what I'm saying? Who really hit. And it's like, that's where it's at with the gang now. Everybody's waiting for it to go back to TV, bro. Nobody's never sitting down in history again and watching that TV like we was. It's on their cell phone. So what I did, I trailed it out on the phone. I was doing verticals before they did verticals. You know what I'm saying? Not everybody doing verticals. I'm like, bro, I've been doing this.

33:32You know what I'm saying? I've been, you know, I got like, man, I got 14 producers. that's dropping skits and we use these cell phones and we go around and get this storyline and da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. And it ain't never going back. So I think everybody don't realize, when you realize that, it's like, oh, it is, damn, this is the new world. Our kids, owners will watch a whole movie on this phone. I'm not in that mindset, because I'm still an OG. Of course, of course. So we'll think, let me get, man, put some on that TV, man. Something hit that phone, bruh. They're on the iPads.

34:04These kids don't care about the TV here.

34:06Tony Yayo:You're saying YouTube, shout to YouTube, shout to The Real Report, The Volume, shout to my man over here, you know what we doing. And I feel like YouTube just took over the game. They took over the game and nobody don't want to settle. YouTube, like I'm on Facebook and YouTube. YouTube is really my side money. You know what I'm saying? I'm on Facebook, so I stayed on Facebook, so I'm just the only one on Facebook. I got to understand the fact, talk about the Facebook game. I was just about to say that like, so you making a lot of money off of Facebook. Yeah, 11 million subscribers. Not saying it like that, but Facebook.

34:36Tony Yayo:Yeah, I got you, man. I got you, man. Facebook is a way to make money. Hey, man, I dominate Facebook. And Facebook don't even realize they not getting no bigger. Because they trying to get more creators. I'm like, bro, nobody ain't going back to Facebook. And Facebook, because they got the old mindset. They sitting there, oh, we going to get more country wings. Bro, you ain't getting no more country wings, dog. Because ain't nobody coming back to Facebook. New York been off Facebook. The South even got off Facebook. I just stayed there because I'm like, well, shoot. You know how them traps in the streets?

35:08Everybody leave like, well, I'm going to keep selling. I'm going to keep selling powder. I like your mentality. I like your mentality. Everybody on a new drug, I'm going to keep selling powder. Because somebody, one thing about powder, it's going to always bump. Because they lying up. You go to the bathroom, they can hit it real quick. Come right back. All them other drugs. You sit on them, so they hit it. They got to take a break. Hey, nah. One thing about powder, it ain't what it used to be out here. But it's still out this motherfucker. It's still out this motherfucker. So I stay on Facebook and social media got the game and it ain't going nowhere.

35:41Like it'll never be a time that people are going back. No more like Tyler Perry. They looking at Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry fans, man. Man, they old. You know what I'm saying? So Tyler Perry got the older fans who stuck with it and just ain't going back. But if you in this new generation, dog, if you ain't doing what y 'all doing at this right now, all them TV shows and movies, man. Only way you do make a movie jump is you own this. Like when I dropped that as her, it's because my fan, I'm gonna be able to put it in my videos and they be like, Country Wayne got a movie. Oh, it came out. And then soon as that movie over, they going right back.

36:15That's her as out of here.

36:16Tony Yayo:That's a fact. He's the next one, Murda, trust me. He's never been like in a major film. And I heard you talk about that. That's what's next for him or doing his own films. Yo, I appreciate that. Because people love it. Like they love this guy. So at the end of the day, like say he was to put that's her on Facebook. That shit will sell. The relationship shit, that's what makes him different to me. Like he could talk about his kids. He could talk about his baby moms. I still hate my baby moms. Like it's just shit that's relatable. But when you watch YouTube. I see you said one of your sons is mad because you said you planned on getting an abortion.

36:54Tony Yayo:Was he really mad at you? He was mad. He always asked me, hey daddy man, what made you mad? I didn't want to bring that one up. I was just saying, Mr. Real before we got to talk about it. Yeah, he was like, daddy, why you want to kill me? Why I ain't know you? What's up? I ain't know, but I was still trying to figure out life. I was still trying to figure out life, man. Facts, facts. Get out of here with that, man. You're taking it personal, but you're - That's hilarious. But that's what stuff relate to everybody, bro. Of course. Relationships and stuff, and so that's what I stick to. I stick to my relationship.

37:21You know what I mean? I ain't really the type of comedian that I stay on the same subject. And the relationship stuff, it always works. Everything, relationships is always, it run the game. Cause women, oh man, women run this game, man. Definitely do, man. People, definitely do, man. Yeah, man ain't never really fought over no money. It don't be no, it's a girl in there somewhere. It's something, something. Think about it.

37:44Tony Yayo:When you go to a show, you go on cause your girl wants to go. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You know? That'd be my drug. You know what I'm saying? And I'm gonna be honest, that's why I ain't never do no other drugs. I was like, I'm already, a woman is the most, come on, man. He said, that is my drug. The woman is my drug. Well, God created a woman. He knew what he was doing. Got you. Got you, Wayne. Everybody try. They don't make us so bad. People try not to say that no more. Man, come on, man. You ain't lying. Everything we do is for them. Yeah, for them. Everything. Everything. The clothes, the jewelry.

38:15The money, the jewelry, everything. The clothes, everything. I ain't putting no clothes for. Who you putting on for? Because - You ain't lying. Oh, man, women, bro. So women, I stay on that subject. and one thing about a woman man hey you get that out of this you you you know what i'm saying you up there even when even when people like don't be knowing that i be got stuff going on it's like me to get coco jones in the movie bro that was just super dope and i love her music talk about that's her because i want to see it now oh that's her man it's a um it's it's a love story about i'm playing a corporate guy and i'm kind of like i ain't wayne no chance and chance kind of like he ain't in front of streets he kind of you know i he coined it to the streets they don't mean he but he a corporate guy.

38:55He got to. And he and his world, and this girl come, and he like her, he feel her in her spirit, but it's his other girl, light skin, what he really be after.

39:08Tony Yayo:What? Throw him off, and he chasing her, but the whole time it was, she was the right one for him, but the name of the movie, that's her, and he got to choose between them two. And it's Coco and another girl, and I ain't gonna tell the whole story how it ends, but I got Loretta Devine in there, I got Miss Pat, you know what I'm saying? I got Lou Williams, I mean, Lou Young, got Ben the Dunn. You know, I got a lot of other people. But man. When that's dropping. I'ma dropping that shit for sure. Okay. I'ma dropping that shit. Yeah, we waiting on that. That's fire. Independent film, I 100 % financed myself.

39:38Through SAG and everything, did it the right way. The quality gone shock, it's gone shock people. And that's my gang really with these movies. And I just got a movie offer for something else we put together, but that's a whole nother situation I can't talk about. But that's why I cut my beard. So really right now, it's the movie game. Got you. Got you. The movie game, what's the next step in just taking that thing from... Because whatever you sell on social media, that's the only thing that's going to sell. It's like, you don't want to go to Popeye's Chicken and get some banana pudding. And they can have the best banana pudding, but you're not going to want it from Popeye's.

40:19You don't see them yet. So if you notice, whatever you sell to the audience on social media, that's what they want to see in the public. So with me, since I don't be funny out there like that, before the pandemic, everywhere you went, you be like, man, country ain't funny, country ain't funny. The day I went on Shannon Sharp, I told my people, I said, I'm finna go on here and talk about business. Watch how I shift the culture, how they look at you. Because how they look at you, that's what they want. So when people find out I knew about business and stuff, it's hard to look at him like, he ain't silly.

40:47He tricked us. Because when I was being silly, that was a character. He know his shit. Like, he on pro. That's right. So you got to stay in the subject matter of what you selling on social media. That's why 85 South was so big because 85 South was sitting on that sofa interviewing people and they took that show on stage. If they would have took on stage that we finna go in here and do a motivational speaking, they fans know we want to see that. Yeah, definitely. So it's like whatever you show on social media, that's what they want. So I have to stay on the relationship. I had the relationship moving.

41:15I wouldn't have took no financial risk to do nothing else because if I fail, I'd rather fail what I know than going out there trying to shoot a movie that ain't got nothing to do with a relationship. I got to stay on that subject, Malika. That's my subject. The relationships, that's my subject.

41:32Tony Yayo:Do you got any relationship advice for anybody out there? Stay up. Hey, I'm gonna tell you, in a relationship, bro, hey, it's a competition, stay up. Ain't no woman gonna ever love you like you think she love you because it's too much out here to love. And a woman would cheat on you. Hold on, say that again. Ain't no woman gonna ever love you like you think she love you because it's too much out here to love. So a woman, sometimes men cheat on a woman with another woman a lot. But a woman cheat on a man with the world. So what I'm saying, like you could be a woman, you could be in a relationship with a woman, but at the end of the day, she gonna look out the window because the window is on the phone now.

42:09It ain't even her fault. It's like us going to the casino and gambling. We broke our dice game. We might, even though we don't lost dice so much, we still attempt that, man. Of course. It's like, now they got gambling on the phone. Of course. Like, my brother, when they put gambling on the phone, I'm like, bro, he gone. It's over now. He could gamble on the phone. He could bet on a game. So, if you just stay up, no matter what you in, that's any business, that's a universal game that I put in my book. Out of all the rules, I got a lot of laws. Stop while you're here. If you're doing something you know you're getting away with, stop while you're here.

42:41You know what I'm saying? You know what you're doing. Stop right your head. You feel what I'm saying? But the main rule, I say, I always remember this one, is stay up, dog. Because if you stay up, even if people try you or whatever, they not going to do it. They going to think about it first. So just stay up. And that's what the relationship is all about, man. You got to stay up, dog. You got to stand up.

43:02Tony Yayo:You might need to write a book. I wrote a book. I wrote a book. I helped us on the way. It was like one of the best sellers. Oh, look at that. I wrote a book. I had a book deal. I don't got book deals, man. I don't did a lot. Help is on the way. I got to get that. In that book, dog, stay up in a relationship because I'm telling you, man, if you fall out on tomorrow, that come with, man, make sure you drink your water. Staying up ain't just money. Don't get comfortable in that relationship because she, the biggest secret in the game. If men knew how much women cheat, men would stop cheating. Damn.

43:31A woman? That's why it hurt so bad because you know we going to cheat. You can tell. Of course. You can tell when we talk about how we had the man. I'm out with home, boy, man. You always tripping. Oh, you just want to get loose tonight. You trying to find out. Hey, I'm going to hang out with what's in that night. You know what I'm saying? The females already know your patterns.

43:49Tony Yayo:You done did it so much so they know your patterns. A woman come home and she moan. When you making love to her, she moan like she ain't never felt this before. So it hurts a man more to know, shout it, man. Shout it a mood song.

44:06So it's like, if you're in a business and you competitive, like, them basketball players, they playing because, like, their team will get rid of me. So you got to stay up. Like, no, I ain't starting that. Uh-uh. I'm still going to the gym. I'm working out. For sure. You have to stay a superstar in your relationship, man. Don't get comfortable. Don't never let her see you down. You know what I'm saying? Say,

44:28Tony Yayo:remain a superstar in your relationship. Remain a superstar. I like that. I never heard no question. So you won't get traded.

44:37And you don't want her just to be with you because she can't get nobody else. Because that means even if she's still with you, she already gone spiritually. You want her to be with you because you're the superstar. And how you do that, bro, stay up, man. Do the best at what you can with what you got. And what you got, man, you got your mind and your temple. Everything else could be tooken. But this all God gave you, man. Man, make sure you get it. Make sure you drink enough water. I tell everybody, you drink enough water, that's 99 % of your problems because you're going to make hydrated decisions.

45:06because when you, it's like when you, when you get drunk, there ain't nothing but dehydrating your mind. So when you, so people drunk all day and don't know it. So the decisions you make when you're drunk, you're going to be making the decisions all day. But if you just drink enough water, it's going to tell you your body going to be at its best and it'll tell you how to move, how to think, how to, what to do. But, because that woman, but the game is like a woman. A woman is a spirit. So everything we in, the businesses we in, the way to make money attract to you, everything like a woman. If you stay up, like, Right now, it's like I got a special because I was up.

45:40It's like I'm doing so many numbers on social media. They scared not to give me no money, because they scared another network to give you no money. Because they know somebody going to give it to me. But if I ain't bumping no line no more, and I lit up and I ain't got my, I post 40 a day, bro. The reason why I post 40 a day, because I'm like I ain't no other social media person finna get in. Well, if you get in, congratulations, but I want to - You been at a producer for - Hey, Chicagoland. Wayfair's Memorial Day Sale is on at the Wayfair Store at Edens Plaza in Wilmette.

49:27hour ago. It's already got a thousand comments. You know what I'm saying? A thousand comments, another hour ago. Content.

49:32Tony Yayo:He got 14 producers though, I'm saying. He do got 14 producers. Oh yeah. You know what I'm saying? We had to turn it up now because I just understood. And when I first started doing that stuff, people called in the corner. You can't, another thing about social media too, and all this, you can't care what people say. The farther you're going to go, bro, a comment - I be telling my brother that sometimes, I don't fuck them comments. I don't give a fuck about comments. I don't even read comments. Y 'all be saying something like, fuck comments. Do you care about comments? Man, bro, heck no, I don't care.

50:00Because think about this, right? All of us, special people like us, we come from the streets.

50:04Tony Yayo:What? Bro, we can't go to jail in this. So whatever they talking about. See, I like talking. I like talking. That's a fact. I like that. I like that. You need another book out, bro. You need to write another one with all this knowledge, bro. Man, it's like, bro, whatever they talk, I be thankful. I put out my stuff I put out my specials bro I love to be hated I put out my specials I love the nigga to come in I be thankful they talking about they talking negative about me man I don't care about the comments because it ain't real I ain't going to prison so it's like I ain't going to prison all that man I never respond you can tell a street nigga right he said I ain't going to prison like three times but I ain't going to prison I ain't going to prison Man, over a comment, the commenters don't got creative.

50:53They all doing that to get attention. Right. So it's like when you understand the math of the game, they part of the game. It's like when in the Bible, when David and them were getting away and the dude was all in his face, about to spit in his face, and his homie wanted to kill a dude. And David was like, hold up, bro. This part of what I supposed to go through. This part of the story, let it be. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like if you want for those niggas to comment, we wouldn't be where we at, so we got to let it ride at the end of the day. man, people, you could talk about my mama, my mama dead.

51:21If you call my mama, you could do whatever you want to do. You could talk about my family or whatever. I'm like, I ain't going to prison over this, man. Man, that's a comment. And I really just don't care. You feel what I'm saying? It's just that sometimes when people in power say something, I always call them on the phone. I don't call a lot of comedians and be like, hey, what's going on, man?

51:41Tony Yayo:Yeah, why you hating? Yeah, like, why we doing that? You know what I'm saying? Oh, you got some hate before? Like niggas. Oh yeah, a lot of people hate me. People hate me, but I'm so street. They ain't street, so they can't hide it. It's people that don't say hate. One thing about Faison Love, he was hating on me. But I told him to his face, at least I respect that you hate not loud. Right. I respect enough. I know how Faison feel. The other people, they don't think you see it. But it's like, bro, you know, it be people that, if you guys in a comedian, go around and ask the comedian, my name don't come up because they think ignoring me.

52:15Bro, the people see. People ain't stupid. Of course, that's a fact. There ain't no way out here. My biggest crowd is New York. Look at that. That's a fact. You know what I'm saying?

52:22Tony Yayo:We fuck with you out here. New York, it got everybody in it. So it's like the real gonna rock with the real. You know what I'm saying? So you can't ignore it. So a lot of people, a lot of comedians try to ignore me because one comedian, an agent told me this. She said, everybody think you arrogant. I said, nah, I'm not arrogant. I'm just confident because there's work behind this. I'm dropping 40 skits a day. I'm doing the interviews. I'm going to work on stand up, going to these comedy clubs, throwing away these jokes, do this work, building a whole other set while the nostalgia was coming. I'm working harder than them.

52:53No, they arrogant to think they going to get the same results in these. That's arrogance to work less than somebody. I thought you was arrogant first too. Yeah, everybody think I'm -

53:00Tony Yayo:I'm not going to hold you. I think I saw you do a breakfast club in the group. Yeah, everybody think I'm arrogant. I was like, dude, this nigga really feeling himself, man. Like, I'm surreal. I'm like, I'm front. He was bigger in the town. 3 ,000 people. His family was in town. It's that New York energy. I'm a country boy, but I always got along with New York people. My boy Donnell, he came to Millen. You know how New York, some people move down south. I always got along with New York people because I never switched up when I got to New York. Everybody, as soon as New York came out, everybody, what's up, son?

53:31I'm like, why y 'all talking like that? Everybody dribbling now. Man, go to the hole, man. We don't dribble that long. That's New York. But I always had that New York company because the reason why New York got company is because they know, man, if I could make it here, I could make it anywhere, right?

53:46Tony Yayo:Yo, shit. So what I came through and where I came from, it just be confidence. And people be taking this arrogant. I'm like, no, bro. For you not to work as hard as V, whether you're a comedian, I'm like, that's arrogant to think you're going to get the same results. It ain't, bro. I'm not finna shrink just because you in the room or you a comedian, dog. Go work, bro. Go get some new jokes. He's working. You got to think about this, Mert. When you watch Mr. Beast, Mr. Beast is on Amazon Prom, like him, and he's on YouTube. He's doing the same thing. Nostalgia is on Amazon Prom, and he's killing YouTube.

54:20Tony Yayo:So when you look at YouTube, I think the two biggest comedians on YouTube is him and Drewski. Yeah, Drewski. Shout out to Drewski. Man, all the boys. And I'm the only one. Man, I give all the boys their respect. Yeah. I fuck with Desi Banks, too, but Desi Banks is more... That niggas better start putting some respect on my nigga country, Wayne. They ain't got... Stop leaving them out the conversation. Even though he don't give a fuck anyway because he get in the bag. As long as that check call. To be honest, some of them this I don't even want to be on. I couldn't wait until a certain audience starts saying I wasn't funny.

54:51I say, when they start saying you ain't funny, that's the one that make it. Gotcha. Everybody was swearing. Everybody from the street swearing Kevin Hart ain't funny. I'm about to say, they said that about Kevin Hart early. I remember that. Because they don't realize some stuff that people do ain't funny to me too, but I still know it's funny. I can listen to a song, right? I can listen to Kendrick, and I don't listen to Kendrick, but I know that's still the best. He's better than what I'm listening to. So what happens is when it don't relate to them, they think it ain't good. Instead of being like, that just ain't my cup of tea.

55:25Got you.

55:26Tony Yayo:That just ain't my cup of tea. But when you really realize the game, you like, no, that still is what it is. I just don't like it. You know what I'm saying? just cause I don't eat chicken no more, bro. I know chicken good. Chicken way better than tofu. Just cause I eat tofu, I'm not finna, people fall in, that's what people do. People fall in love. You're never supposed to fall in love with something out of you more than what's in you. Cause if you stay in love with you, you just gonna do the truth. It'd be like, nah, bro, buddy can do this. Buddy can do that. I ain't my cup of tea, but I think a lot of people just, it's just that they feel like that before they meet me.

56:03Like a lot of people thought I'm arrogant, but it's like, bro, man, I ain't arrogant. I'm just confident. And I've been through a lot. You gotta be confident. You gotta be confident in this, man. Definitely, definitely. But I get why they say I'm arrogant, though, because I get on interviews and I say stuff like... I wasn't aware in the beginning. Let me say that, right? When I first saw it, I'm like, who the fuck is this nigga talking like this?

56:25Tony Yayo:Yeah, this nigga talking crazy. My ex-wife told me that. I started doing my homework like, oh, okay. My ex-wife say, when me and Hozen Guth, She said, you need to stop going to an interview. She said, ain't nobody gonna rock but you. Because, I said, why? She said, cause it's like you be son of a nigga. I'm like, bro, I ain't son of nobody. Like, it's because like, you talk like you been in the game a long time. Like, nah, I ain't been in this game, but it ain't nothing but one real game and it's the game of life. Facts. I'm like a joker. I like that. Like, so when you been at the game of life, you gonna have, when you do get in any, it's like when Jay-Z got in the game, I tell everybody this, bro.

57:01Jay-Z didn't really pop till he was 27. If you pop when you were 21, what make you think you were going to he lived in the game. He was still out there a little bit. So I came in the game when I was about 27. So I don't be in the streets. We traveling dope. Me and my daddy buying a brick together. Allegedly, y 'all. He got four for it. I got a statue of a brick together.

57:26My uncles went to prison. My daddy was in the streets. My mama was in the streets. you went through a lot of pain to feel the glory. So I remember going to a Jay-Z concert, bro. And me and my brother was watching. And Jay-Z did this with his hand. He say, I'm a hustler, period. And he had, I said, ooh. I said, Arby, you seen his hand? He didn't understand. I said, bro, if Jay-Z trying to tell y 'all, dog, I was going to beat you anyway. He like, I'm a hustler. Jay-Z and 50 of them are hustlers. They going to get in the game. Whatever game, if they would have been selling tires from the experiences they had, they were going to beat you anyway because you ain't go out work on them.

58:02Facts. You gonna get in the game and you gonna go out of time with these women too much. Versus people who relived their life and made it out, bro. It's so much pain that by the time you get here, you like, bro, I went through too much to get here. You not finna play with me and I see you. So it's like, you ain't even gotta say nothing. So most people think they be hiding how they feel, be doing a little, cause they ain't street. So a street person, if you ain't street, they a slight hate on the internet. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, bro, I see you. It's like people be say something like, I be like, all right, bro.

58:32You don't see me do comedy. You know what I do to every show. You ain't never heard of a show of Country Wank ever bombed, man. Trust me, if I would have bombed once, they can't wait to break that. Oh, Wank, forget what? This arrogant motherfucker right here. There's too many women watching me. Too many women. The dude want to be like, see, I told you buddy wouldn't like that, for real. You know what I'm saying? But, man, to be on a tour with Mike Elks or LaVelle Crawford, them earthquakes, and they ain't cursing, them comedians know, bro, I'm doing this without cursing. Who got the hood crying?

59:04I got jokers in the crowd, my boy Wayne, that my boy. And they ain't saying a curse word. I'm like, so since y 'all ain't gonna say it, when I do talk, I'ma speak it. Cause you don't hear no comedians being for real. Like you'll hear Earthquake don't say that. Cause I don't went behind Earthquake when he telling that joke about the doctor and it is tearing the crowd up. Shout out to Earthquake. Yeah, earthquake man. Earthquake, LaBelle Crawford, bro. Tony Robbins. I just went on tour with Mike Epps them last year. I went behind Tony Robbins every night. And if you've been to a comedy show, you know what Tony Robbins doing to that stage.

59:38Tony Yayo:Definitely. Every time. So it's like, the comedians know. You know what I'm saying? It's just that they feel like I'm going to make you work a little harder to get it because you ain't really, you ain't, I'm going to work a little harder for you to get my respect. And I'm like, bro, as long as Jesus respect me, bro, I really don't care. So I'm like, bro, I always show people the utmost respect, but I can feel that energy. I'm from the street. So when somebody give me that energy, like, bro, it's forever. And it ain't never coming back in here. That's why I understand, bro, when I be saying the beef with rappers and all that, some stuff, I be like, I understand how they feel.

1:00:15Like, it's forever. Yeah, definitely. It's forever, dog, because I'm not finna take the risk of you coming back in my energy and you being the same person. Facts. I really, you know what I'm saying? Because I know - I'd rather just be comfortable knowing that you got to stay the fuck over there and away from me. So, and it's like that. And when you dealing with something that you feed your family, like it's just coming off, bro. It ain't just coming off. Because this is how I feed my kids. So, everybody I ever met, every comedian, I give them props. I'd be like, all of them funny, all this and that.

1:00:43But a lot of comedians, but the real ones say my name. Kat Williams said my name. You know what I'm saying? Mike Elf. You know what I'm saying? Mike Elf's a real one, man. My guess a real one?

1:00:52Tony Yayo:My guess, come on. He hosted one of my mixtapes. He hosted one of your mixtapes too, man. Yeah, my guess, man, most of the OGs really give my props because they seen me come through. They seen the work I put in. But the new era would really be the problem because they feel like I think, a lot of them think I'm better. I'm like, nah, bro, I'm not working to everybody, man. I got 10 kids. I'm driving 40 videos a day. Damn! You know what I'm saying? I'm like, bro, this work and I'm not finna, like I'm not one of the people who believe in Jesus that turn to, like, I'm gonna fight my battles. I'm like, bro, Jesus popped it.

1:01:31Jesus ain't lying. People don't understand, bro. People thinking that Jesus is like, oh my father, man, Jesus was in like, bro, Peter don't, he was talking to Peter, either y 'all follow me or y 'all ain't, I'm the one.

1:01:41Tony Yayo:That's right, trust in Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, everybody who truly believe in Jesus for real, you gonna have that energy cause you like bro, I know what's backing me. And I got the mission and I'm screaming his name and I'm doing it in a way that, I'm doing it in a way that, I don't really, I coulda, I had a character named Drip that had took over the streets. Yeah, Drip too. I coulda stayed with Drip. Drip that got so big. I coulda stayed with Drip. Before I did Drip, I told my partner Mike, I said bro, I mean I'm Bred, I said Bred, I'm finna do this character named Drip and everybody finna stop posting for a minute.

1:02:13I put Drip on Instagram. Drip was so big because when I started talking about the streets, a lot of social media people couldn't do the videos no more because Drip was talking real talk. Y 'all, y 'all, let me get me a full weight. He was over in the plug money. He owed the plug 100 ,000. The plug looking for all the plug. He's like, I got 16 ,000. And the plug like, hey, Drip, man, you owe me 100. He said, yo, I had to sell mine first, but the rest still gonna add up. So the real dope boys around the country were like. They know how that go. Nah, bro, this, Wayne on some, so what happened was I grabbed the streets with Drill because they're like, oh, he ain't, and that's what happened.

1:02:51The people who follow me are the real ones, and people can't understand why y 'all following Wayne because it's like, bro, he's talking about real life.

1:03:00Tony Yayo:Yeah. It's relatable. It's relatable. It's relatable. And a lot of people, they be like, what you want me to do? Be piped down, and I'm like, bro, I'm promoting myself. since nobody else don't promote me, I'm gonna let you know. I'm gonna sell tickets everywhere and the streets gonna be in there and they ain't got to curse. You know what I'm saying? So the key, who said that one time, shout out to Donnell Rollins. He put up a post, he said, man, the fact that Country Wayne stopped cursing, didn't say Jesus and didn't lose the streets. Definitely. How long you been not cursing? I started cursing my company when I first started in 2015.

1:03:37Well, that's crazy. And I still kept them. and they left at first. I remember they was like, when I first popped, I grabbed everybody. I was cursing. All the rappers, everybody. I grabbed everybody and my manager came to me and was like, you need to stop cursing. I just did it because of my grandmas and I was watching. And I was like, you know what? I'm just going to do it because I owe the crowd. And I lost the hood for a minute because people were like - It just wasn't related. It's weird here coming without cursing. It is. So you trying to tell me you didn't curse in this new shit I just wrote?

1:04:09Nostalgia? Nah, I say hell - You pulled it off.

1:04:12Tony Yayo:I say hell and good. I didn't even - It's crazy, right? This one you know, motherfuckers is funny. Pardon me for cursing. I just curse all the time. You curse all the time. Yeah, I curse all the time. But it's crazy I didn't even realize that you didn't curse and was just laughing, having a good time watching the shit. And I didn't notice that shit. A lot of people don't realize that. I didn't notice that. Yeah, that's fucking crazy. Cause he got Jesus behind him. I seen his piece, it said, Jesus is popping, Jesus. Like he said, Darnell Rollins said, he said Jesus, he cursed, I thought his career was over.

1:04:40Tony Yayo:But he got God behind him and Jesus behind him. That's crazy, man. That's dope. Respect. It's all love, man. But I love everybody, but at the same time, the hate do be out there. and I just think everybody who, everybody, because I come from, I try to be a rapper first. You dead serious? Yeah. You go on YouTube, I got some rap songs. Okay, okay. I try to be a rapper. Everybody gonna look up my Minnichunji YouTube rap videos. As a matter of fact, don't look it up. So what happened? It didn't work? As a matter of fact, don't look it up. Don't look it up. But I think when I came in the company game with rapper energy.

1:05:20So I looked at it different. You know what I'm saying? So I came in with rapper energy.

1:05:24Tony Yayo:You was on some trap and shit, so it was different. So that confidence come from, I'm like a hip hop person in the company game. And I, cause I, like you say, 50, you know what I'm saying? I know they was beefing, but 50 and TI, Jay-Z, Jeezy. So I come in that era. So when I got in the company game, I'm like, this is what it is. It's friendly fun. who go the hardest, you know what I'm saying? But comedians be sensitive, boy. It be like the people who tell the most jokes. Who do you think is more sensitive, comedians or rappers? Man, comedians, man. I thought rappers. Nah, cause comedians ain't used to not being like.

1:05:59Tony Yayo:I think the comedians gotta have tougher skin than rappers. They got tougher skin, but comedians like to be liked. The moment you - Okay, okay. So comedians, a rapper used to not to be, they used to be - Yeah, we don't give a fuck. Rappers wanna be like, we wanna be like, but we don't give a fuck if people don't like us too. It's like a different energy. If you don't like a comedian for real, for real, and it really hit like that, they doing it to be liked. When a comedian's being funny in class, they want the audience to like them. So what happens with a comedian, man, comedians get sensitive, bro.

1:06:29Just think about it. Comedians don't even work together like rappers do. Rappers could be beefy. Facts.

1:06:34Tony Yayo:That is true. And still, once upon a time, they might be finished. At the end of the day, you fall for that if you want. You got 50 and T.I. them beefing. Yeah, they beefing now. But man, when they was really, really, really, everybody, hey man, work together in some kind of shape. Man, we getting them money. Of course. But when they get there, we got some money. All right, we got time to be petty. We got time to be whatever. But rap game, man, just like Lil Baby Dumb, 42 Dug. Man, them boys got together. You know what I'm saying? Made them songs. Made some big records. Man, some shit definitely ran that bag up right quick.

1:07:08Baby was dead hot. Him and Dirk was hot. Baby and Dirk. Man, you know what I'm saying? Let's work together. Comedians. In the way in hell you say they doing those shit like that. They ain't sharing their energy. Got you. Because you got to think about it.

1:07:19Tony Yayo:I agree with you. A lot of rappers was getting women before rap or some of them. That's true. Right? A lot of comedians wasn't getting women before comedy. So now they got women and they got money. You not finna take that from them. See, but y 'all niggas ain't like country. My man has seven kids before this shit. Oh, no. But that's the real problem. A lot of comedians, that's what they mad about. It's really because I don't come off like, it's the women, bro. They know the women. Hey man, they know the women on me. Don't be a hater. In a different way, in a comedian way. You know what I'm saying?

1:07:55They know the women on me, and most comedians don't have that. Not all of them. You know what I'm saying? SMG, and I don't want to call them that, because if I call out someone, they think I'm calling them real, but -

1:08:04Tony Yayo:Call them up, call them up. Just being transparent. Right. The fan base I got with women are how women might rock with me. A lot of comedians don't get the same. Same love. And I been had it. Like I said, the mother of my kids, couple long was homecoming queens. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I been had the women. If you got the women, they gon' hate you, bro. That's why they hate Jesus. Cause it don't matter what you do for a woman, if you do a lot for her, she gon' say, thank you, Jesus. So it's like.

1:08:38Tony Yayo:I ain't know where you was going with that. That's a good one. That you know what I'm speaking with. Yeah, I ain't know where you was going with that. Jeezus put up on the donkey sideways. So that's why a lot of people, man, people gonna hate on the person who getting no women, dawg. And I ain't even after no women. I was after women when I was supposed to be after women. In high school, by the time I got 22, I ain't been stuck. I been stuck in that paper. So now the gang flip. They after the women. I'm like, I ain't stuck no, but when you after that paper, they after you anyway. Stay up. When you chase women, you run them off.

1:09:15Because the day you give a woman the attention that she begging for, the day that she conquered you. Give what got her attention the attention. Focus on yourself, man. Focus on God and focus on your work, man. I don't do Valentine's Day. I don't do birthdays. For real? No, I don't do none of that.

1:09:34Tony Yayo:No birthdays? No, I don't like. somebody some money for their birthday, but I don't put no extra effort in. So you got five baby mothers and you don't do - They already know I don't play that. I don't do, I don't celebrate holidays. For their birthday, I give them some money, but it's like, I stay so focused on what I'm focused on, it keeps you, it keeps you like the book, 40 Laws of Power. You know the story, you know, when they was, when the dude was walking around putting a brick in front of a brick, Yeah, right. And everybody was following him around. I'm like, what are you doing? But he was taking them to the new circus that came in town.

1:10:02If you stay, when you stay, and when you stay what you're doing, people follow you, bro. That's how social media is. If you stay working on social media and they see you home too much and chilling, they lose engagement. You know what I'm saying? You might have engagement over there, but to keep that real engagement, people want to see you work. People want to see you move and that's how everything is.

1:10:27Tony Yayo:We got to work harder, murder. 14 videos. Y 'all do what y 'all want to do. Y 'all, you know what I'm saying? y 'all OG, so y 'all can move how y 'all wanna move. Y 'all already don't move how we had to move. Listen, when I heard 14 clips, listen, when I heard 14 clips, that's crazy. 14 clips in a day? That's crazy. 40. 40. Put some respect on that nigga name. It's 40 clips a day of brand new content, three minutes of, you know what I'm saying? Three minutes or more, cause you know it gotta be three minutes or more than Monatide, but yo man, we trapping all day. You know what I'm saying? You know how the traps is?

1:11:01I couldn't wait. somebody stop trapping I don't see no more dope after 8 o 'clock thank you

1:11:13Tony Yayo:I think he used to not want to hustle on Sundays like that okay no problem everybody's there in the house we outside Sunday family day I know Burger King love Chick-fil-A shut down on Sundays of course you better believe it you got to do that social media is still fairly new So it's just like, it's really that grind. It's a new world. You know what I'm saying? You ain't going to be with y 'all done with Jay-Z, 50, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? All T.I., everybody done already done. You can't do that no more. And the only way you do that now, you got to do everything. Because you not finna drop a movie or album to have the world waiting unless you marvel.

1:11:59You feel what I'm saying? because everybody got, say you got a big movie coming.

1:12:04Tony Yayo:Right. Right? Then something happened on Shade Room, but these two people fought, this couple fought and went to jail. Yeah, you fight. And you trying to catch the audience. Hey, hey, but you know I got this movie coming. So it's like, hey, you know, back in the day, we had social media. So when this drop on one of the system part, it's dropping. That's getting all the attention. It's getting all the attention. I don't know what you mean. When an album drop, a single drop, all the attention. All the attention. You can't get that no more. You really can't, unless you got to think about it. Kendrick and Drake beefed and they caught the 10.

1:12:36Something like that had to happen for something like that to happen. You feel what I'm saying? It's like you can't really get their attention and then they forget about you that fast. Fast. Those songs back in the day used to last, bro. You hear a song, we ride for this for a minute. We was just talking about that earlier. A person put out an album, it used to be like for the year and you was good. Like one album, rocking for a year, you know. But now I was like, man, that's, please. Yeah, you fight for attention. So you got to get in there every second of the day. And I had to get what I did.

1:13:07I let them do it for me. I got out of the game and let producers keep their attention while I'm working. Because if I had to stay in front of that camera all day, when I watch social media people stay in front of that camera, I'm like, oh, they ain't finna outlast me. Because I'm like, they ain't going to be able to keep doing that. I'm like, man, I guess you're going to burn out. versus me i was like oh you supposed to share the game so what i did i made i made people hot i made mike bless roe natasha shayla uh you know saying and other characters on my page hi amber and all these people ernestine erica sarah i said if i get shared them with my audience i started pulling i started doing videos without me in them and they started still liking them i I said, oh, I got him.

1:13:56I said, because now I could go maneuver and go shoot my movie with Coco Jones. Of course. Because if not, I was going to have to keep standing in front of that camera. What happens when you stay? I stopped drip before he fell off. Because I told my people, I said, he going to fall off. I don't want motherfuckers to get tired of this nigga, man. If you stay up, bro, people either going to get tired of you. It's like you got to fall off. So you got to take yourself down before they take you down. Because if you take yourself down, you know what I'm saying? how Jay-Z -

1:14:24Tony Yayo:Cause you could bring Drip back now. You could do a whole movie with Drip, honestly. Drip got a movie. Drip got a studio, I mean, man, Drip got a movie coming, man. Drip got a movie coming from a real big studio. Oh, look at that. It's going to theaters and everything. Drip got a movie because he's so legendary cause I stopped while he was a hit. That's smart. Look at that. And he got a movie coming. And it's going to be big, but yo, it's like this social media game. it's just like the streets and you just got the you got but one thing I like about social media you ain't going to prison that's true streets you go to a bullet touch you for real I remember somebody hit me with a comment and a bullet somebody hit me with a bullet I quit I ain't bouncing back that's one thing I don't like getting I don't like getting shot I don't think nobody like that I don't think nobody like that talk about me on social media talk about me on that comment he said I'm cool with that shit talk all day Social media, you can really hustle.

1:15:24You know, you're in the streets, the first thing we think, hey man, what if this was legal? I'll make so much money. Cause you know, you should be playing over at this point. I'm gonna be at this old boy and I'm gonna go to this. But it's something always getting in the way of that plan. Versus social media, bro. Why don't you grind? It's a competition to a certain degree because it is the algorithm.

1:15:43Tony Yayo:Yes. But I see you going to the movies now, like taking all them characters off YouTube and making them one of your movies too. I know you got Coco Jones and big stars. I got drip. I got drip. He got a movie coming for sure. That's super fire, man. And me and Coco movie gonna be, you know, it's gonna be real good for the ladies and the men because it's from a different point of view. But the, Chance was, he was more laid back. And what Chance was, this was women. Cause you know how women always think the nice guy is better than us. Chance even thought that too. but he's a player just like everybody else but Chance think he's better than everybody just because he don't talk like us so that movie got a lot of messages in it but at the end of the day what people didn't know Chance is looking for love and that's what a lot of women don't know about us sometimes we really is looking for love they don't have no idea about that shit they could be looking for love a man really be sometime come in your life man I ain't really trying to be a player I'm really looking for love.

1:16:51But if I see that you ain't even looking with me, you think you looking for love. No, you love the relationship. You feel what I'm saying? You love, a lot of women love the wedding, the way it looks. Most women, a lot of women more in love with the illusion of love than love. Right. Because it's like, I got to see it this way. I want this this way. You know what I mean? I want to get married this way. I'm like, but dog, that's all that ain't here. But man, you here right now. What if we just love each other first and let all whatever come with that, right? And men be looking for that but we know when you get with a woman, we know she wanted a certain way.

1:17:33So I'm going to go to your family cookout just because this is the day. And I'm going to act like this because I know this how you want me to act for your family. So now this is a big act. Got you. So you cheating on me too. I'm just going to finish going to cheat.

1:17:46Tony Yayo:I was one of the kids. I was one of the kids. You ever got married? You ever did the whole thing? Oh yeah, I married my, I married my, I married my, one of the mother of my kids, Gina. Because we was in the projects together, together selling dope out of projects. So when I finally, so when I finally made my first hundred grand, I made a hundred grand. I made a hundred grand one weekend doing stand up. And I was like, I called her, I said, Gina. I had already engaged to her. I said, I'm ready to marry you. I said, because I made it. I feel like I made it. This was some legit money. I made a hundred grand a weekend.

1:18:18I said, bro, I went home. I said, we not going to wait till the wedding. Went home. I took it to the court.

1:18:24Tony Yayo:Look at that. So I saved that money. Shout out to Gina. So what happened with that then? I saved that money on that waiting first. You know that shit didn't work, man. You ain't all those kids you got, nigga. But we stayed together. We stayed together for a year and a half. But we was together for like 10. All right, gotcha. We was in the streets. I married her. We was together for a year and a half. And I just, I knew I had to get out of that relationship because it wasn't fair to her because we was happy. It's just that I knew what I had to do. Your success and you. I knew I had to be me. I knew I had to be me for, to get to where I wanted to be and being me was my stories.

1:19:02And the stuff I did on social media. So you had to go create more stories. I had to go create more stories. Get the fuck out of here, man. Get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out of here. It sound good. You sound good. Get the fuck out of here, man. I ain't gonna tell anybody like that, boy. I ain't gonna create more stories. Because of storylines I did, you gotta think about it. A lot of those storylines online, I'm in a relationship with girls, we kissing, and we making this stuff feel real because I took social media to acting, right? So if I come home with me and her together, you not gonna let me act like I'm in a relationship with Ro.

1:19:38I'm going to come home and you're going to be like, you really just doing that? And I'm like, Ro, this ain't no movie though, because that's what everybody was saying about the skits at first. This ain't no movie. So basically, you're looking at my stuff as little skits. I know I can't go through this part. You're not going to let me be what I need to be. And I'm glad because I wouldn't have been able to build all those relationships. Every girl in the skit to get hot and I had to write the storyline through me.

1:20:02Tony Yayo:You know what I'm saying? It's just like Fifth Engine Unit. he popped. Then once we seen him when he brought y 'all, we like, oh. So he had to pop first. But I could have nothing in my way of my vision because I knew, and it wasn't going to be fair to her, because her friends and everybody was going to be in her. Yeah, you let Wayne kiss no girls on the videos like that? I ain't got time for that because I need to focus. So if I come home one night, I don't need to be in that kind of relationship because I don't got time to talk. When a man got a vision and we try to take us somewhere and it's if a man driving a ship and it's a big rock in the way and a big rock right here man I don't got time to stop this ship and hear you talk about your feelings because you're about to feel this boat tip over if you want to feel this boat tip over keep on talking I'm driving the ship so I just didn't need nobody at that time in my career to really be talking man, because I knew where I was going.

1:21:05And when I got there, she understood. Like, she still, she still rich, man. She benefits from your decisions. She benefits from your decisions. She spent a lot of time. Gina was your first baby mother? No, my first baby mother, she benefiting too. They get a lot of money. Who is she? What's her name? Her name's Taquisha. She was my high school swoopy heart. Now the thing about Taquisha, the thing about her is that I could have been with her because she don't talk. But at the same time, people around her would have gotten her ear. Queet be chilling. You feel what I'm saying? Gina gonna... You know what I'm saying?

1:21:48Queet gonna chill, but you gonna feel it. Gina gonna tell you versus Tequisha, I call her Queet. If I would have been with her, it would have been coming home. Hey, Queet, what's up? Right. She ain't gonna say nothing. So now I'm going to have to be all night. What's wrong with you? Nothing. Why you say something wrong with me? Because you got their neck keep doing what it's doing. What's wrong with you? So it was like, I still was going to feel it. They are who they are in different ways. But the good part of them, man, they great mothers to my kids. They allow me to do this. And they, at the end of the day, they can't stand me, but they love me.

1:22:24And they understand my heart of it. No matter what, he want the best for his family. and they make that unit work with all those kids, the kids close and everybody, you know, even when they don't get along, they got better than they did back in the day. Back in the day, we went through a lot together. Busting my windows and all that. Like one of my baby moms quit K in the Gina house and bust my windows when he was in the projects. I got a whole quarter break in the house. Police come. You going to jail, buddy. Because I'm going to tell him it's yours. Oh man. No, you don't even know. I'm going through all this, you know what I'm saying?

1:23:02But we at this place now, man, and they blessed. Them girls, they get most of the money.

1:23:07Tony Yayo:That's dope, man. They really get most of the money. I was never a male or woman that I get more than them. And I put up with more for them. I let them cuss me out, still send them the check every month. You know what I'm saying? And they get a lot of money, but if I wouldn't have been able to be Wayne, I couldn't be who I am. You know what I'm saying? I had to be free. You know what I'm saying? So it's like Future. I know women will be mad when I say this, but Future left Ciara, his music got better. It did. Because he was able to be helped. He must was holding an end. March Madness and all that came.

1:23:46March Madness. When Future came, when he got out of that relationship.

1:23:49Tony Yayo:Shout out to my guy Future, man. When Future got out of that relationship, man, the club was a different vibe. He dropped it. it up. He couldn't be who he was respectfully. He couldn't be all the way who he was. So me, obviously... Well, let's not blame Ciara for that. No, I ain't blaming her for that. What I'm saying, because I know a lot of females gonna be like, what you saying Ciara, hold him down. No, Ciara was... You know they gonna say that. Ciara was holding him up. Ciara was being a woman, what I'm saying, as an artist... He needed to be free. Because he was able to talk about it and he was able to everything that came out on social media, he had not...

1:24:23Tony Yayo:I know some females be hating you, the way you make certain shit makes sense. Yeah. Nigga just got to be free to be great. The text messages on social media when the text messages on social media when Future say you good love they hit harder because his songs be already saying that. So it's like it's like if Country Wayne make a joke about baby mamas it hit harder because everybody know I got them kids. Exactly. I know what he said. That's what I'm saying. You feel what I'm saying? So what I'm saying when Future was in the relationship if you talk about that you're like it don't go together. That's why I see some people when they be rapping and they be in a relationship, I'm like, that person ain't coming out the same.

1:25:00Tony Yayo:He's right. You ain't living, even if you're not living that, your fans want to know that you can live that. Right. So if you're in a relationship and you saying, I was this and I was that, I was shouting last night, we thinking, ooh, she letting you get away with that? Think about it. Everybody he break up with, it's like in the song, when he, Lori Harvey, they talked about Steve Harvey. It's right. Yeah, go, go, go. He's being him. It works in school too. It's art. She's for the streets. Come on. It's like 50 came up bullying. So when he put something on social media, it fits his character. So it's like, oh, it's hit harder.

1:25:36Because it's like, man, he was like that. Since we remember. Since we remember. So if anybody else try that, it ain't going to hit the same. Because we like 50 is playing. He is who he is. So at the same time, when people as an artist, it's like wrestlers. Because when WCW and all that, they want you to stay. The reason why them wrestling is big, because they stay who they are, right? It was one, if you watch the McMahon thing, one time the wrestlers got together and hugged each other. And the crowd booed them. Because the fans like, man, we don't want to see that. We thought y 'all hate each other, motherfuckers.

1:26:11We don't want to see this go buy y 'all shit. We don't want to say that at the end of the day. Because you got to give it up for Drake and Kendrick. Because there was no guns drawn. What they did for the audience, bro. That the audience would never understand. They put on. They put on. Drake responded. He did. He put on. Because you know why? They put on. He played that role. Whatever this is, it understand. Even though you say I lost, the world was entertained.

1:26:38Tony Yayo:So how you feel when the battles go a little too far for you? Still love it? No, I don't like it when they go battling. Because Jay-Z just said something like, yo, battle should be done because now it's going a little too far. But I think he went far. Like, Jay-Z's so rich. Sometimes when you so rich like them. You be forgetting. You be forgetting. Forget about shit you went through when you were so old. You and Nas Beef, you said some crazy shit. Yeah, you can sell out to Yankee Stadium three times. Man, I'm trying to sell out a theater. Drake and Kendrick, whether they know it or not, they stuck to the art.

1:27:13I think they can do it good because you know they weren't going to pull out no guns. You know what I'm saying? they came bar after bar and they said it probably hurt hip hop and it probably did but hip hop people have been beefing with real guns so if it hurt it that means it was already wounded but the way they did it and the songs they was dropping the fans was entertained the audience that watching you some people ain't got$20 some people paying their bills they barely paying their bills but they depending on entertainers like wrestlers they not fighting for real but they people love to be entertained.

1:27:48And when you break that character, and I think nowadays a lot of people break character as artists too much and won't let it be art. And it's like, the audience don't want to see that. Like, if I got Shayla and Amber beefing in the storyline and they put up pictures together, I'd be like, take that down. Because the fans know it's fake, but don't play in their face. It's like a woman. You might be cheating for real, but don't play in my face and embarrass me in front of my friends. don't play in my face because I'm giving you my energy and my time we know this ain't real but we want to feel like it is and I just think they weren't rapping about violence that much, now when you rapping about violence the thing about when you rapping about violence is eventually gonna get real because now you talking about threats they was personal

1:28:37Tony Yayo:it wasn't valid but they got personal it wasn't valid but it was real personal things that they were saying towards each other. Yeah. I think it got too personal actually. And I go still farther with that. What I think Drake and Kendrick them should do, because at the end of the day the record they were born. We still losing in the end, bro. We still don't own that stuff. We don't own the platforms. None of us own the platforms for real. I would love to see Nicki Minaj and Cardi B them going for it. Because they don't beef with friends before that don't did them bad, man, that would get the power back.

1:29:13Drake and Kendrick go on tour and still do your beef and still get up there. Yeah, he thought he could rap better than me, but y 'all remember this hit? Like, make it because at the end of the day, bro, we can't keep letting them divide us like that. And we ain't got nothing. We can say, okay, all right, I make a million every month. Right? If I make over a million dollars a month, the person on the platform made that last second. Imagine

1:29:37Tony Yayo:So I ain't nothing So even if we get 400 million 500 million A billion Bro Mark Zuckerberg Make a billion Every day So we don't got nothing And when we realize We don't got nothing The only thing we do got Is what money can't buy We got the sauce And we toured together Like hey man This the deal we want You got to wait you get big Talk like this now Because I ain't big enough But I'm talking about them They big enough to be like We ain't touring unless we getting 100 % of all of it. You know what I mean? We won't, like. They could make them demands. You're right. But if they came together. You're right.

1:30:17Tony Yayo:Hell yeah. Cardi B and Nicki. You talking about Cardi B and Nicki. Meg Thee Stallion. You know what I'm saying? Lotto. Yeah. Kendrick and Drake. If they came together, it'd be the biggest in the game because at the end of the day, none of them won. because the record labels, Nate, while they're rapping in the studio, giving their best shot, they're sitting on a yacht teaching their kid how to go be an accountant. You know what I'm saying? Now, when you do this, this is how you get the money. You know what I'm saying? You're going to get 10 % of this. You know what I'm saying? And we, being artists, none of us are winning.

1:30:51Tony Yayo:Are you absolutely right? We ain't winning. We think we win because we get more than each other. That's why I stay out of that because at the end of the day, I ain't better than no other social media community because, yeah, we try to get, I ain't feeling nobody bother me, bro. I think when we get bigger than each other, be like, yeah, but bro, when is it gonna, when one of us gonna get a hundred billion, man? We just need one of us to get a hundred billion. Yeah, that's true. If you add all the billionaires together, you have 50, Jay-Z, you talking about probably$7 billion without, you know what I mean, Tyler Perry in it.

1:31:24Bro, if you see what them billionaires making, Amazon and all them, it's like, they tricked us to believe 1 % of us get a big house out of there. And they look at that. But we forget about all the little hungry. When I come to New York, man, I take my jewelry off everywhere. I only wore it here because we don't know camera, but I'm going to check. And I know this pre-recorded. I'm not feeling disrespect. I'm not feeling disrespect that young dude who mama need $60. And that's most of the world. So most of us was like that. So when you think about that, we like, bro, we got, when we got a chance to get some money, let's come together, get the extra money we gonna make and give it back.

1:32:11I agree. And change the people who really need$20. You know what I'm saying? Cause that's how I am. I could live bigger than what I am, but I take care of my whole family and I ain't making nowhere near that. And I realize 30 ,000 a year might not be nothing to me, but that'll change this family life. So I'm like, we got, we making enough money to give back to our community that we don't have to ask. but we keep buying they stuff. You know what I'm saying?

1:32:35Tony Yayo:All that jury murder got on his neck. I'm guilty of it. I'm guilty of it. T. say Jesus popping. A nigga might not rob you for that. See, Jesus popping. Nah, niggas are still taking that, man. Pardon me, my homie. Amen. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. And then you go, in the name of Jesus. Yeah, in the name of Jesus, bro. Hey, give me that. Jesus popping. Hey, you feel me? Jesus going to forgive you. Jesus get you another one. But, so I think, man, that really be my goal, though. Like, I pray, man, that I get so wealthy one day that I be able to, I see how money can change.

1:33:10I see how I change my family. Right. Like, give me all my sister. I'm like, I'm gonna give my sister a hundred a year. A hundred thousand dollars a year. But at the same time, my watch costs 70.

1:33:22Tony Yayo:Facts. My Ferrari costs 700 ,000. So I'm like, you know what I'm saying? My sister ain't worth a watch in a Ferrari? I might just not buy two Ferraris. You feel what I'm saying? But it's like, I think we making enough money to really change each other's lives already. We just don't know it because we keep buying the stuff that's making them worth it and think we somebody. Definitely. Like we walk in, yeah, I'm on social media. I'm doing it. I'm making money. But bro, them peanuts, they never going to pay me what I'm worth and what I'm really bringing to that channel, right? So it's like, at the end of the day, I think if we came together, that'd be bigger.
