Word of all, you know, you spread love. Winner circle spreading love for real. That's how you stay out of trouble, man. You feel me? You do the love. Stay out of trouble. Yo, since you helped Brooklyn Drill Sound, What you think about the drill sound right now going on in New York City?

9:25But the time when I first came out, 2017 and shit, and we was in the UK beats, we stood out. And that's why we still, for me, doing what we doing now. We elevated in the music, of course. You know, it's a different type of sound, but that will forever be the official stamp. You know what I'm saying? They always gonna remember me for that. For sure. I feel like it's gonna keep, you know, elevating and just keep going different ways.

9:50I know you got a lot. We got some music coming out, because I know you got like 10 albums, 20 albums in the cup. Oh, 100%. 100%. I go front. It's crazy, because before, I used to record music, right? And I used to just do like two songs or one song a day, a night, right? Until recently, when I was in the studio, and bro and I was talking, I was like, listen, bro, y 'all got to really prepare and prepare. So now, we going in the studio making five, six songs a night, seven songs a night. I never did that before, bro. So now I see that that shit really paid off because now look, look at the predicament I'm in, but I'm still able to drop all this music.

10:28I got music to last me until I come home. You know what I'm saying? And after, you know what I'm saying? So it's always good to keep working, you know what I'm saying? That Tupac work right there. And man, you got a smoker. I'm about to drop two Narcos produced by Great John. Yo, tell Black Sam, clear that Nipsey record. Yo, Black Sam, clear that Nipsey record with Chef. Because that's not, yo, because you know what? That's not just drill music. That's classic music. That's what I like about Sleepy and Chef. They don't only just make one kind of music. They make hit music. Definitely. Even like with the verses, the song with Fifth was crazy.

11:01Nah, it was. You know, if they was here to do the videos, you know, that shit would be crazy. I know Fifth would, you know, spend money. They got the AI shit. Shout out to y 'all on that one. But like, yo, I heard the record with Nipsey Hussle. Talk about that, man. Black Sam, clear that, please, man. Shout out to Marathon Burger, man. First of all, you know, RP Nip, you feel me? Definitely, that's RP Nip. I remember when we started going, I forgot exactly what year it was. I think it was 18, 17 or 18, 19, whatever I mean. You feel me? But they had showed us a video, and he was bumping one of our songs.

11:33The song was Panic, you heard? Oh, look at that. Yeah, he was in the car bumping the music. So we like, what the fuck? What Nip know about our music? So now we start reaching out.

16:37So between, you know how I looked at it? I looked at it when, and shout to you in sleep, when y 'all was with Donald Trump. I look at it like, you know, you got these guys, these guys are shooting, these guys are shooting people. What the hell are they doing with Trump? They come to court, they gonna get pardoned. I felt like the Trump shit was a little reason for that. I'm just keeping it real. I mean, outside looking in, because I look at it as politics like, all right, who the fuck these guys think they are? You know they're eating thinners? Because you know everything is always exaggerated.

17:12You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Everything is over exaggerated. Niggas is eating - They got a lot of hate. It was 50-50 love. Come on, man. Some people tried to hate on them for fucking with Trump and all that. Yeah, it's 50-50 love. Because you know, radio was mad. Hot 97 in a couple of places was mad. But for me, I felt like if I'm a judge, right? You put myself in a judge, you got this nigga making all his fucking money, right? He's next to Trump. He might can get a pardon. Fuck this nigga time he got in there. That's probably how they look at him. I mean, just think about it. As a judge thinking that.

17:43They looking like, yo, this nigga next to Donald Trump. How did it feel hanging out with Trump for a minute, chef? It made me feel, all I was thinking about was like, I remember when I was a kid flipping through the history books and I'm looking at the pictures, I'm like, yeah, that's where I'm about to be.

Rob Markman, look, the thing is, is people know he's going home to something. because his times come on he got short times shorter than anything that shit ain't about nothing we gonna turn around he gonna be home yeah Shepi in a hot minute Shepi in a hot minute so for me it's like he's a person he knows he's a target like when you're a rapper and you decide not to be in PC you know you're a target so you really gotta be on it yeah but yo you hear me the question I it's like I always think about it like this how could you think you could be more dangerous than they're making with everything That wouldn't make sense You can't be more dangerous than that That is true Some people say Sometimes a nigga with nothing Feel like he more dangerous Because he ain't got nothing to lose I mean you gotta think That's how a person Think sometimes You gotta think hypothetically How you gonna be more dangerous Than a nigga that's right I know what you said sir I got I get busy myself in I put that bag on you Stop playing with me Hypothetically Hypothetically Hypothetically Hypothetically I know what you said sir I know what you said You know hypothetically 10.

20:29I know how we know allegedly, allegedly. Nigga, I'm dangerous and my money dangerous. What's up, nigga? Allegedly. You know I know about nigga. Hypothetically, because we know a nigga can get stabbed for 10 soups in there. So everything is hypothetical. Know what I mean? So stay out of prison, y 'all, and stay out of jail. They don't understand. For niggas like you in sleep, it's a vacation. Like Sleepy, I see him on Rikers. You know, it's a vacation. You know what's crazy though? You see everybody in here and everybody wanna go home. And I was like niggas wanna go home more than ever because now you got so much shit going on in the town that they can see is going on.

21:11Niggas start realizing jail shit is whack, man. Well, now they start to realize like every time I came back to jail and I see certain niggas I see since I was like 16, 17, they still here. So they would tell me like, damn, bro, like I was just watching you on the TV. You feel me? And I'd be like, damn, like, yeah, this shit real. You feel me? Everybody trying to get home. Everybody trying to get home. Nobody want to step in this shit. You going to see the light. But this is another question I ask you because I remember, rest in peace to Maserati Fox from Queens. He was a nigga that turned like a one-year bid into seven-year bids, just getting it on, getting it shaking, cut niggas.

21:46How do you keep your time, you know, cut? Like, you know what I'm saying? How do you keep the balance of that? Because I know when you in there, you can't think about the time. I only got four years, three years. That ain't nothing to nobody. You know what I'm saying? That ain't nothing. Certain niggas got more time than others. So everybody time to you, to like another nigga my time right now, I'll be like, yo, that ain't shit. Then you got other niggas like, damn, if I had that time, I would have been stressed. So everybody does their own time. And everybody going to feel stressed about the time they do, whether it's a year or five or 10 or 20, you heard?

22:19It's all about how you deal with it, who you fuck with, how you feel me, how you move, who you are as a person And your reputation, nigga, your reputation is everything. Your name, your word is everything in here, nigga. Niggas don't care about nothing else. It's your name and your word. You keep your word and your name is always sturdy, then you a sturdy nigga. As soon as your name is tainted and your word is tainted, it's quiet. You gon' go through hell. You gon' go through a real-life hell, like real-life hell, nigga. You can't achieve. That's correct. For real. So how many niggas you knocked out on Rikers?

Seven billion plus. Ain't counting. Ain't counting. That's a hundred percent fact. This is no, you feel me? They can search it up. They can do your research. All right? Facts. They can do it.

How y 'all felt about that, man? On some real shit, on some real shit, you gotta remember, I just came home from a prison day.

28:33So I learned how to deal with people so good that I didn't even feel no type of weight. I understand that everybody got their own opinions and everybody gonna react how they react. So from the time when we chose and we decided to do what we did, I already know people had their own reaction. So that was their reaction. So now when we actually linked up with some of the same people that was mad at us and they seen us and spoke to us personally one-on-one, it was a different story. They got to know y 'all, right? Facts. Yeah, they got to know niggas. So they're like, ah, we understand. Whatever, you feel me?

29:03So it's all love still. It don't even matter, you know? Gotcha. You know, love me later. It is what it is. You know, you got to look at it. And then you got to look at it like this, Murk. When we came out, we had one lane. We only had radio. You know what I'm saying? Now, these niggas, they got 10 lanes. You got TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. So they got Spotify. The list goes on. Apple Music. The list goes on and on. They got kind of more lanes. So I'm not saying they didn't respect radio, but you got some of the biggest artists like Chef, Sleep, NBA Youngboy, Tyler, the Creator. You don't hear these niggas on radio spinning like that.

29:42They're right. But they could sell out clubs, sell out arenas, sell out stadiums. You know what I'm saying? And get recognition all over the world. Talk about the tour before you left, man. Yo, yeah, we did a tour. We did two different ones with the fucking tour. And I remember when we first, we went to PlayStation Theater, you heard? And it was sold out.

Like, for me, I'm looking at it. Do you ever look at it like, damn, I threw all this money in a club? Which is nothing wrong with Chaltoa Strip Clubs. But you could have been in like The Burge in Dubai for that money. You could have been like 8 Star Hotel. Like, you got to... Yo, you know what niggas be saying? Like, people be telling me like, you know what I'm saying? The same shit niggas be spending out here like, bro, over there.

The last memory you gonna have, like, yeah, this nigga was barking. Every trip, yeah, he was barking. He was barking. Yeah, you goddamn right. Always barking, nigga. It's a movie. That's a fact. Gotta leave a statement. I mean, how do we even go, you know?

43:37Turned down for what, nigga? That was your lady in the video that jumped on you in the video, that video? It was a video you was wilding out. The last one, I think, the last one you ever put out. It was like one of your last videos. I can't even remember. I know you was wilding in that video. He said, don't talk to me about nobody I'm not with no more, man. That's how I said, I feel like. Listen, I'm just talking about the video. Huh? It was scripted, you heard? It was scripted.

44:14Yo, Chef. Yo, Chef, you ever think about writing a book while you in there or getting into some movies? I don't know if White is... I know White is the type of guy that will tell you something like that. So I was just wondering if, like, in your time, writing a book about your life? I never thought about writing a book, but I did think about having a movie done about my own life and every situation. For me, that would be sturdy. Definitely about the whole case that y 'all just went through and all that shit, man. Everything, Fox. Making a movie. Uh-huh. Making a movie, Fox. Start writing, nigga.

45:58Nigga, I think like RP, my son, Pop, that movie Pop was in. I think we would have probably been in that movie too. They used our song, they used my song instead, but I was fighting the case at the time, so they didn't put me in the movie, but I think I was supposed to be in the movie. I would have been in that shit too. Look at that, look at that. Yeah, it's a fact. Rest in peace, Pop Smoke. We just had his moms and brother up here too, man. Yeah, definitely, rest in peace, Pop. Oh, yeah, man. Yeah, definitely, man. I keep my son name alive, that's all right. Yeah, yeah, definitely, man.
