• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and randomly enough, the only time he's been on the
• 0:53

• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Real talk, because the last one was with Mount Westmore, right? Yes,

• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It is good to see you, 40.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Good seeing you, fam.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you made history, man. You dropped the first ever
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: quadruple album?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: In hip hop.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: First to first one that I know of.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I never heard of a quadruple album.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: It's not from an official, you know, like a military
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: missile artist. Right. You feel me?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: 40 records, 10 on each. I got midway through disc three.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Soul and Vallejo is probably my favorite joint because I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: feel like you just kind of brought everybody from the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: city into one record.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Everybody can have their own.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: That's why you do 40 songs. So everybody can pick
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: what they love.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? It's going to be different years.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: What was the process? Because I know usually you... I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: feel like we've had to wait a few years. Was
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it two or three years?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Three years, right?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Since you dropped your last album. Which is odd for you.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Very odd. Um.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So talk about just walking me through the idea of landing. Like, look,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: we're going to do it. Fuck it. You've done the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: triple album thing before. How'd we land on a four album?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: The way we landed on four albums was me feel
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: like I owe my fan base.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: This. I owe my fan base four albums.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: And 40 songs is really, these days, not really a
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: lot for four albums. 40 songs for four albums.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Especially for you. Especially for me, because I didn't do,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: you know, you already know I didn't do triple albums.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't do double albums.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't do, like, I've been doing triple albums. Remember,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I had the block for sure, Welcome to the Soil, 1, 2, 3,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and 4, 5, 6.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You feel me?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I didn't have the day shift, revenue retrieving day shift,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: night shift, graveyard shift, overtime shift. You know, I've been doing,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: and in the 90s, I had the Element of Surprise
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: double CD.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: You feel me?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: You know, that was 1997, 98, somewhere around there. You know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the grit don't quit. But anyway, I owe my fan
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: base this, man, because they used to me dropping, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I went ahead and dropped this.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Thing for, you know, for the culture. Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: You know, for the culture. It's not trying to be
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: shock value. Is that what they call it, shock value?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they say shock value. That's fair. Yeah, yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Like, I'm trying to make headlines by doing the four-hour night. Right.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: No, this was generally just me just... Dropping great music. And,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: you know, you roll the dice, man. You know what
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I'm saying?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I rolled the dice. And, you know, it came out nice.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Because a lot of times you drop that many songs,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: you know, you can get scrutinized for that kind of stuff.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: And they'll be like, man, he did that for nothing.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But the feedback, man, straight blappers, man. I came back
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to back. No skips.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Not for sure, man. I think it's a testament, too,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to be able to drop out 40 records without any
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: filler or skips. Right.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: People can't put out 15 songs without half of it
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: being bullshit.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And to be in the game for almost 40 years
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: and having the most top 200 Billboard album entries in
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the history of hip-hop besides NBA Youngboy.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Talk about it. I'm number two.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Talk about it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You feel me?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And you did it the old school way.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I did it the old school way. You know what
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I'm saying? Where.

• 4:04

• 27:02
  Speaker 1: It's been so many years, like.
• 27:04

  Speaker 2: We lost the goat. Gone way before... before he was
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: supposed to go.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Family-wise, I know that ain't going to bring closure, but
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: it might give some, like you said.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I ain't followed the case like that.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: There's so many things all over the place. I just
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: know my guy gone, but what gives closure to me
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: is he didn't die instantly.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: He fought, and he had time to repent, and I
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: know him. He repented. And that man is an angel
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: right now. He's in heaven. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I got to say.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Richie Rich said he was the guy who was just
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: like he would be out all the time. They'd always
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: be sharing girls. He was like, you don't understand. He
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: was like the life of the party in the Bay.

• 28:37
  Speaker 1: P and No Limit. I feel like there was a
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: lot of synergy in terms of the independent thing. But
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: then I also know you had such a great relationship
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: with the Cash Money guys and Birdman, who also, I guess,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: after you had your deal publicized, they had their massive
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: deal that they did with Universal. Talk about your guys' synergy,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: because all the Cash Money guys were on your albums,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and Birdman's been on your shit. What was that synergy
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: like where you guys kind of just gelled?
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I was on my Hall of Game tour in 1996.

  Speaker 3: But there was two people, and it was Birdman, Beatrice,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: before they called him Birdman.

  Speaker 2: He's like, man, fall it, whoop, whoop, whoop, man, love, respect,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: you know, because he a real one. Yeah, of course.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: And he showed me nothing but love and respect, you know.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: And he said, this is my brother Slim, Slim hella tall.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: You know, we exchanged numbers, and from there, history was made.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: So moving forward, you know, I was the first one,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I was the first rapper.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: That I know of To get on. Because, you know,

  Speaker 3: Cash Money, they had such a big clique.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: They had hot boys.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were featuring each other all the time.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: That's it. They wasn't rocking with anybody.

  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Birdman, he flew me out.

  Speaker 1: The blow the whistle beat?
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: So did you cut something to it?
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: No. You passed on the blow the whistle beat? Two days.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: I tried to see what I can do with it.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: All it had was the beep, beep, beep. It just
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: had the listen, listen, don't get mad at me.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Beep, beep, beep. It had the whistle in there.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: It took a genius like Todd Shaw, my ninja, to
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: go in there and just make it a very simple,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: blow the whistle.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what the fuck to do with a whistle.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: This dude, man, for real, man, I love that dude, man.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: He's such a genius, and he's a great guy. Uh,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: because you know, you gotta understand he's musically inclined too.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: He's one of them guys that played in the band too.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: He played the drums too in high school, junior high,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: that type stuff, you know? So we know music, you know?
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: And so, man, that man went in there and kicked
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: his feet and he did a great job. I don't
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: think I would have been able to do it. I
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: don't think it would have been. It wouldn't have been
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: what it was. It wouldn't have been what it was.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: And that's just the way the world works. That's how God,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: God made it. And we made, I made 10 when
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: to go. He made that at the same time, them
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: two songs. Anywhere you play them, they're going crazy. It's
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: the Kobe and Shaq of the Bay Area shit. Absolutely.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I want to know, though, it speaks to Lil Jon's
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: genius that a guy from Atlanta produced the two biggest
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Bay Area rap songs ever.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: He produced Tell Me When To Go. He produced Blow
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: The Whistle.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: He did. But you know what's bigger than both of them?
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: What?
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: That he produced?
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: What?
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: UNF booty, almost three times platinum. It's like 2.8 written out.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Do your illumination.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: You know what's crazy?
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Do your illuminate investigation, gentlemen.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: No, I believe you.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Record execs, all y'all that see this interview, look at
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: the illuminate numbers and you'll see.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: But I think culturally, like I know Tell Me When
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: To Go barely just went platinum.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: But like culturally, those two records are like some stuff,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: you know, SoundScan can't tell the story of Tell.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Me When To Go. Absolutely, absolutely.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: It's like Ye Area. The Ye Area record is like
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: a record that it don't matter, I don't know how
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: much it's sold, it's probably gold, but you can't speak
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: to how important of a song that is.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: It is very true.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: And that's just how music goes, and that's how the
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: culture goes. You're absolutely right about that. But I was
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: tripping off that, because UNF Booty, that's a trip.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Almost three times like this.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: No, that's crazy. Three times platinum, UNF Booty. Shout out
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: to T-Pain.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. Can I tell you about T-Pain?
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, please. He's one of the best guys.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: T-Pain is one of the rawest talents of all time.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I love that dude, man.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I hate when people try to box him in like, yo,

• 43:41
  Speaker 1: like an angel.
• 43:42

  Speaker 1: they were very.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Much in the beginning together.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: You and Hov never worked together officially. Did it ever

• 47:13
  Speaker 2: You know, I love Hov.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: I got nothing but love for him. He's a You know,
• 47:16

  Speaker 3: and don't be trying to spark up controversy and try to, you.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Know, troll and all that. He play with his family.

  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Come from the motherfucking octagon. You know what I mean?
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: From the trenches and the quicksand. And he's a billionaire. And,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: you know, even before he was a billionaire, I always
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: had love and respect for him. But, you know, I
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: tried to sin. I got at Jay Brown when I
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: had choices. Everybody got choices.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: By the way, Sink Monster, congrats on all that. I
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: see the commercials, and I'm just like, God damn.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Come on. They just re-upped. Chipotle just re-upped.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Chipotle. God bless them.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Come on. And I'm like, man, I'm like, can I
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: send this to him?
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: Because it's going up. And, you know, he was like, well,
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: Jay Brown got back at me. It was like, you know,
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: he ain't going to be able to do it. And
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, okay. I know he's busy and stuff. So,
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm a player. I don't be tripping. And
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I ain't no grudging nothing. But I don't even know
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: if Jay really got it to him.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Right. You know, because, you know, maybe he looked at
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: it like, man, he busy right now.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: He ain't really in that mode. Maybe Jay, you know,
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: as a manager, he probably, you know, kind of like,
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? What they call that shit, gatekeep.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: I feel like.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: That be happening a lot. That happens a lot. You
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: damn near got to see Hov Courtside and be like,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: we overdue. You know, I was doing this interview with
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Boulay Kev, and he said it's crazy that we never
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: worked together.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: And it can't be embarrassing because I'm already locked into
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: the hip-hop legacy.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I ain't local. I'm global. I'm not just no little.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: A lot of these new cats don't even understand. I've
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: been around since Dinosaur Urine. So I'm not just like,
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: you know, West Coast. I'm everywhere like air.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: You feel me?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: For you, I wonder, you know, when you have somebody
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: like Drake, who's the biggest artist in hip-hop, statistically, of course,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: continually paying homage to the Bay, it's got to be dope.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Is that, you know, because obviously he just took Too
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Hard for the Radio, went number one in two formats.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Chata Pila, who was just here, who helped co-produce that.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts just on, like, Dre and his
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: love for the Bay and how it feels like he
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: pays it back a lot? You know, whatever people want
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: to say about Drake, obviously.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people got love for the Bay.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: As they should.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: You know, I think a lot of people got love
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: for the Bay. A lot of people took a lot
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: of things from the Bay Area.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Not just me.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: A lot of slang, a lot of fashion. Hey, the
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: broads in the Bay, they gamed up. See, in the Bay,
