On the day I decided to enroll in the nursing program at Rasmussen University, it was afternoon, my 35th birthday. I was hanging out with a friend, and they had just questioned me what I was going to do with this next chapter of my life. I immediately had said, I want to go to nursing school.

49:40Tony Yayo:I'm so East Coast, my baby. Make sure they bring that up in the clip, man. We're on the same gang, man. We're on the same gang, yo. I'm not disrespecting the West Coast. I'm not telling you, you're not. You just don't know it. You just don't know it. You ain't saying that. You just don't know it. Just don't know. Because nigga, when that self-destruct shit, you're headed for a self-dest... That shit was just... When that shit came on, that shit was like everything for a New York nigga. Like, shit. Like, damn, let's check myself. Oh, shit. Every rapper that's popping is together. And talking some positive shit.

50:06Tony Yayo:Never seen no shit like that. That was our... That's why I like that. Yeah, it was a We Are The World of rappers. Yeah. Facts. Who was on there? Queen La Cifa? The niggas were still shooting and selling drugs the next week, man. No, that's cool. We ain't advocating that. We just saying... I'm just telling you. You know that, though. Rob Markman, why didn't trust the reality of it? That's what they was doing the next week. Rob Markman, I mean, I don't care about that. Rob Markman, all I'm saying to you, it was, look, not them against each other though. Rob Markman, rappers back then to have beef like that, did they?

50:30Tony Yayo:Rob Markman, man, I'm talking about the streets. I ain't talking about the rappers. Rob Markman, No, no, but it was perfect for the time because it was like in hip hop as well. Rob Markman, No, it was bad out there. Rob Markman, They needed that shit. Rob Markman, It was Afrocentric. So we had more of a positive, we had the public enemies. So we was like aware, Karras was. Rob Markman, Who else was on there? Miss Melody was on there, Queen Latifah. Tell more. Rob Markman, Stetsasonic. Rob Markman, Stetsasonic was on there. Heavy D was on there. Yeah, Hev. Rob Markman, was K-R-R-S on there? Was MC Light.

51:03Tony Yayo:Rob Markman, I think Kumo D, MC Light. Everybody was on. That's all I'm saying. The thing is like you fast forward to hip hop now. That'll never happen again. That's what make that record special. And what I'm saying is back then, a lot of music had messages. It was positive. Everything now is pretty much you kill. It's cool. You can tell your story. I'm not going to judge you. We all been in the street. But back then, it was just positive. Rob Markman All right, guess what happened? Now in the game back in the days, everybody, every group had to look different and sound different. For one, had to have conceptual songs, all of that as far as the A &R was listening to even sign you.

51:47You feel what I'm saying? Rob Markman, radio stations got to a point when gangster music came and boom, and the hood, Riddius and all that type of, and whatever, and the most sexist or whatever was playing. I seen different artists that was totally not on none of that gangster shit or nothing switching pivot to that because the labels that were signing at the time - Rob Markman, But look, a lot of artists didn't.

52:16Tony Yayo:So what I'm saying is like, all right, when AIDS epidemic was coming at a point in time, Jungle Brothers had my buddy, which if you know your hip hop, they was talking about condoms, right? They was promoting condoms, positive shit when the AIDS epidemic was happening in the hood, right? When you heard Tribe Called Quest, right? When they had records, right? It was, I left my wallet and El Segundo and Bonita Applebone. When Bonita Applebone came on in the club, nigga, that beat, everything, it wasn't no really killer shit. It was just hip hop. It was just different. Rob Markman - No, the low end theory.

52:53Tony Yayo:De La Soul. Look, De La Soul. Rob Markman - Native songs. Rob Markman - Pie Holes in my lawn. Back then, the beats was just so hard and niggas was just on some other shit. Like, Pie Holes in my lawn. Rob Markman - It was abstract. Rob Markman - It just feel like it was more of art and more of a positive message back then. So I just wanted to know what was the difference to now, to you? Rob Markman That was it. It was like everybody, labels were in the picture. Right now everything is independent. Nobody have to go through. No labels and then they drop whatever they want. Rob Markman Right. Rob Markman Throughout the years, the grimiest, the butt naked records, the everything else, everything came to that.

53:34It's like, I see, we saw it's now for females, it's straight hoe rap. Rob Markman Right. But, hmm, everybody on the pole, everybody twerking, everybody butt ass naked, everybody getting the motherfucking BBL, everybody's out there in a thong. You know what I mean? And it's like, that's what the culture has evolved to.

53:55Tony Yayo:Rob Markman - Yeah, yeah. Cause back then you had Miss Melody, Queen Latifah. Yeah. It was more of a message shit. Even Lauryn Hill. It was just like messages in the music. Rob Markman - The speech took over. Came the Nasas, the Biggies, the Jay Zs, the Mobb Deeps, all that shit. Really. Rob Markman - I think it happened - that shit though. Trench, you know what? That came out. The 80s, everybody was fresh, right? Towards the 90s. The 90s, we came out with braids, dicky suits, boots. Then it got grimy towards that 95, 96. It got grimy. Niggas wanted to hear that shit. You know what I think? Yo, you know what I think it started for you?

54:27Tony Yayo:Not at all. Can't knock it. You know, Trench, you know what I think when I say it got grimy for me is when Onyx came out. Throw your guns in the air. That shit was crazy back then. Niggas was buying guns just because of that video. Like, oh shit, I gotta get a pistol back then. I remember that shit. Niggas have a baby too foul. Rob Markman - These niggas too deep. We gotta catch up. Throw your guns in the air. Rob Markman - Oh yeah, shout out to Onyx. We out on the road overseas with them right now. Rob Markman - Shout out to Onyx, man. Rob Markman - You know, Stinky and Fredro. Boop, boop. Rob Markman - I fuck with Onyx.

It's going last forever. Not at all. Forever. Queens, baby. I knew you. I knew it was coming, right? I'll give you that. It's all good. I'll give you that. You can't sleep. I'll give you that.
