Speaker 1: Well, for most of my life, I just wanted to
3:26
Speaker 1: be the best rapper on earth. And if it sounds
3:29
Speaker 1: delusion to you, it wasn't to me. So I'm competing
3:33
Speaker 1: to me and my you know, every time I wrote
3:35
Speaker 1: an album, I thow a post up a Jay z
3:38
Speaker 1: Eminem and nas and I'd be like, yeah, I'm gonna
3:40
Speaker 1: get them, you know what I'm saying. And so every
3:43
Speaker 1: now and then we get lucky and throw out a
3:45
Speaker 1: lean back or all the Way Up or something like that.
3:48
Speaker 1: And so the last couple of years of my life,
3:53
Speaker 1: I have vented off more as a businessman. You know.
3:56
Speaker 1: We're owning stores in my community, investing in a bunch
4:02
Speaker 1: of businesses, doing TV, like I got a show coming
4:06
Speaker 1: up in Stars, which is like a talk show. I
4:09
Speaker 1: also have a series that me and Kenya Bearis and
4:12
Speaker 1: the Turero brothers are doing based on my book. So
4:15
Speaker 1: I just been I just launched I don't know if
4:18
Speaker 1: y'all saw it. Uh, hair coloring for men as a ladies.
4:25
Speaker 1: The lady's been gracefully asi and so beautiful, and you know,
4:31
Speaker 1: why not have your men looking good too? You know
4:35
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Why fight the time when you can
4:37
Speaker 1: rewind the time? Why fight the time when you get
4:41
Speaker 1: a rek? Why you want to look fifty one when
4:44
Speaker 1: you can look forty? Why you want to look forty
4:47
Speaker 1: two when you can look thirty? And so I said,
4:50
Speaker 1: you know why I put Kalid on the box, I
4:53
Speaker 1: put Tank, I put Tyson Beckford, I put Travis Kelcey.
4:58
Speaker 1: Oh so that's your that's your company here, that's mine.
5:01
Speaker 1: You know, these guys get a lot of money. Man.
5:05
Speaker 1: We know some guys it's like, you know, it's like, yo,
5:12
Speaker 1: we gotta work. Listen, guys, you need a product. That's
5:16
Speaker 1: how you really get rich. It is by owning the product.
5:19
Speaker 1: And you know, no disrespecting nobody out here, because you
5:23
Speaker 1: could be the next verg You rest in peace. But
5:26
Speaker 1: you know, everybody who comes up to me, every hood
5:29
Speaker 1: guy got a clothing line. You could be online that
5:32
Speaker 1: Balgreens and a girl be like, yeah, Joe, let me
5:35
Speaker 1: give you my T shirt for my clothes, like and
5:37
Speaker 1: so like every rapper gotta liquor, you know what I mean.
5:41
Speaker 1: So I figured out you gotta do something though new
5:46
Speaker 1: out the box and try to be the first doing it.
5:50
Speaker 1: And so you know, nobody was you know, buying hair
5:54
Speaker 1: coloring for men is like it's called rewinding. God, it's
5:57
Speaker 1: like buying your wife a tampon and then the Walgreens.
6:00
Speaker 1: You damn there, gotta run around the store, sneak to
6:03
Speaker 1: the counter. Nobody there buy the ship the form you
6:06
Speaker 1: running out the store. Very similar. No, that's how you
6:09
Speaker 1: buy your hair coloring. In there, you like army and
6:12
Speaker 1: ship flipping it now, it's cool. We're all just embrace,
6:16
Speaker 1: embrace and guys, let me tell you a lot of
6:18
Speaker 1: ladies in here. So I don't want to get the
6:21
Speaker 1: woman against me. But guys, if your wife is convincing
6:24
Speaker 1: you to stay with the white hairs, she lying to you, papo.
6:27
Speaker 1: She's trying to get you out the games. If she's
6:31
Speaker 1: seed in you too much, she's trying to get you
6:33
Speaker 1: out the gas. Women don't like the man cock gas.
6:36
Speaker 1: You're looking slam, losing weight. They want you fat and
6:40
Speaker 1: with the white hairs. I'm telling you right now, why
6:43
Speaker 1: fight the tone? Why you could rewind the tone? Number
6:47
Speaker 1: one mark? That's good that no wife is watching.
6:52
Speaker 6: So the product now is different, but the original product
6:54
Speaker 6: because I think people overlook that you being a businessman,
6:58
Speaker 6: you having a label, because people here tell squad, I
7:00
Speaker 6: didn't realize that that's a business.
7:02
Speaker 1: Right.
7:02
Speaker 6: You had artists pa in the Remy Cali colon Dre
7:05
Speaker 6: talk about the lesson that you learned from that venture
7:08
Speaker 6: to now putting it into products. Now, what are the
7:10
Speaker 6: similarities that you see? We just hustled. I've been hustling.
7:14
Speaker 6: I grew up third poor guys. When it was hot outside,
7:18
Speaker 6: we ain't have no ac we had to sleep on
7:20
Speaker 6: the floor. I was telling a story the other day.
7:23
Speaker 6: You know, every Thanksgiving, I don't eat punk. I havn't
7:27
Speaker 6: ate pork for like thirty something years. But when I
7:29
Speaker 6: ate punk, my grandfather rest in peace. He would make this.
7:32
Speaker 1: Virginia ham and we would wait for hours for it,
7:36
Speaker 1: and then we would get the dinner slices in it.
7:38
Speaker 1: We was poor, bro, so they would have to carve
7:41
Speaker 1: it extra thin. So you know, we got like forty
7:45
Speaker 1: four cousins, you know what I'm saying. So we was
7:47
Speaker 1: really really poor man. And so since a young age,
7:50
Speaker 1: I wanted more, and I chose the wrong path and
7:53
Speaker 1: I was in the streets hustling, and we did that really,
7:56
Speaker 1: really good. And so once I started rapping and I
8:00
Speaker 1: started having a meeting with the with the record labels.
8:02
Speaker 1: I knew I wanted to be a boss and find
8:04
Speaker 1: the artists and get my own label. And so I
8:07
Speaker 1: just was in the meeting with them for like one
8:09
Speaker 1: good hour and I said, oh shit, they say the
8:11
Speaker 1: same shit we saying. They're just using fancy words. So
8:14
Speaker 1: I caught it real quick, and so you know, I
8:17
Speaker 1: put our artists like kl Ed, like Pond, like remy Ma,
8:22
Speaker 1: you know, and then we did that, and then you know,
8:26
Speaker 1: they sat me down for something. I did every crime
8:29
Speaker 1: in the world but rape and murder, okay, so anything
8:32
Speaker 1: else they tell you fat yo to he was sticking
8:35
Speaker 1: up supermarkets. He'll sell anything, right, and so but I
8:40
Speaker 1: actually finally went to jail for some shit I didn't do.
8:44
Speaker 1: I swear to god, it's ironic as that sounds. So
8:48
Speaker 1: my accountant was robbing me. I'm sending them wire transfers
8:51
Speaker 1: for him to pay all my shit. He's robbing me
8:54
Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme. So once I finally find out, I get
8:58
Speaker 1: a lawyer. We go to the government. We proved that
9:00
Speaker 1: we you know, was paying for everything. We were sending
9:03
Speaker 1: them wires, and they was like, you, as the leader
9:05
Speaker 1: of your household, you gotta go down for this because
9:09
Speaker 1: you're responsible for whoever you hire. So not only did they,
9:13
Speaker 1: ah did I go to jail. I went to jail
9:16
Speaker 1: right around here. I had to pay back millions of
9:19
Speaker 1: dollars that I had already paid, right. So I remember
9:23
Speaker 1: sitting in jail and I said, you know what, because
9:26
Speaker 1: a lot of artists. When you see your favorite artists
9:29
Speaker 1: keep going out, music, keep going out, music keep and
9:32
Speaker 1: it's not hitting, they trying to hit, and so that
9:35
Speaker 1: means to me they really depending on that hit to go.
9:38
Speaker 1: So what happens when Fat Joe made all the way up?
9:41
Speaker 1: You seen them performing every day, getting to the bag,
9:44
Speaker 1: getting So that's all we rely on. So when I
9:46
Speaker 1: sat down for four months, I said, yo, I gotta
9:49
Speaker 1: make I gotta diversify when I come home. I gotta
9:53
Speaker 1: buy stores. I gotta this, I gotta that. I remember
9:55
Speaker 1: I was sitting with Remy and I was like, Yo,
9:57
Speaker 1: you know what, when we get our money up, because
9:59
Speaker 1: she came. She just came out of jail. I just
10:02
Speaker 1: I came out of jail. We were just doing bad, right,
10:05
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, we get money. We got
10:06
Speaker 1: to buy like a hundred subways sandwich joints like we
10:10
Speaker 1: can't be fucked up no more, like we got set
10:13
Speaker 1: this ship up, okay. And so now I got maybe
10:17
Speaker 1: like eight nine jobs where I make money from everything
10:20
Speaker 1: and life is great.
10:23
Speaker 5: Shot, wrap it up for that, So Joe Cracked. You know,
10:31
Speaker 5: it's history. The first time I ever saw you is
10:37
Speaker 5: there was this tournament in New York called Tri State,
10:40
Speaker 5: the hallm and it was the first time I ever
10:43
Speaker 5: saw Rose Royce and there was a Hall of and
10:47
Speaker 5: fact Joe had his Rose.
10:48
Speaker 1: Race in the middle of the hood.
10:49
Speaker 5: And then I saw you at that legendary jay Z
10:52
Speaker 5: game and I was there. I was there, and uh
10:57
Speaker 5: Joe was at his shirt off with thirty Puerto Ricans
11:01
Speaker 5: and they was going back and forth with the fans.
11:02
Speaker 5: Was heckling you from Brooklyn, throwing at the rocks side.
11:05
Speaker 5: So Joe say he was lying about ninety five percent
11:07
Speaker 5: of stuff, But I like ath that's not true at all.
11:12
Speaker 1: Boy. Let me let me say, I don't want to
11:14
Speaker 1: cut you off, but let me say one thing. I
11:15
Speaker 1: am telling the truth when I say I got my
11:19
Speaker 1: name Joey Crack because I've always been fat. And you
11:22
Speaker 1: see how I got my shit tucked in right now
11:24
Speaker 1: that's so you don't see the crack of my ass.
11:26
Speaker 1: So right, you see how I got my shit. Let
11:29
Speaker 1: me tell you something the girls used to tell me.
11:31
Speaker 1: Every time the teacher tell me, get up and write something,
11:35
Speaker 1: mister Cartage, and they'd be like, oh, Joey Crack, I
11:38
Speaker 1: had the name before the drug. Now, when the drug
11:40
Speaker 1: came out, it was cool as Joey Crack, right, And
11:44
Speaker 1: so when I say ninety five, look, guys, we had
11:48
Speaker 1: a very scary time in this world. When they're taking
11:52
Speaker 1: lyrics that you're saying, and that just now in the
11:55
Speaker 1: young Doug Trout, they took some lyrics and they said
11:59
Speaker 1: he did this, and his lawyer went up there and said, no,
12:02
Speaker 1: he got that from fucking police, and he played fucking police.
12:05
Speaker 1: They showed that the lyrics came from like nineteen eighty
12:09
Speaker 1: and so when they taken the music is creativity, The
12:13
Speaker 1: music is an imagination. A young brother just came and said, yo,
12:16
Speaker 1: I wish you show me perform. I just performed. I
12:19
Speaker 1: guarantee you if it's standing. He said he owned the
12:21
Speaker 1: Bent league he did did he don't own that shit.
12:25
Speaker 1: And so they if they lock you up and use
12:28
Speaker 1: lyrics and your song on this sound like they could
12:30
Speaker 1: prove some shit. And so that's why I went up
12:34
Speaker 1: on seeing them and said, yo, I lied about ninety
12:36
Speaker 1: five percent of my shit because I have to let
12:38
Speaker 1: y'all know that they really is. And they used to
12:42
Speaker 1: do this to everybody a rapper. Everybody tell you they
12:46
Speaker 1: a rapper. Everybody. You know what I'm saying. But no,
12:49
Speaker 1: they went and grabbed the biggest rapper and use this bullshit.
12:54
Speaker 1: This is bullshit, Bro, I'm not lying to you, and
12:57
Speaker 1: they using lyrics against him that is imagined creativity. And
13:01
Speaker 1: they about to give them seventy five years if we
13:04
Speaker 1: don't get a miracle. So I'm trying to save everybody
13:07
Speaker 1: else by putting myself on the course and say, yo,
13:10
Speaker 1: I lied about ninety five percent of us, just so
13:13
Speaker 1: that the youth don't get impressed in that way. And
13:18
Speaker 1: so you know, yeah, just be cause I said a
13:20
Speaker 1: lot about my songs. Gonna mean, I'm not real in
13:22
Speaker 1: real life, you know, but I have to make an example.
13:26
Speaker 1: And hip hop to me is my life, it's my culture,
13:29
Speaker 1: it's my religion. And so if I got to step
13:32
Speaker 1: up and talk for the youth, I'm gonna always do
13:36
Speaker 1: that just cho you Crad. That's an interesting you said
13:41
Speaker 1: that you're rail in real life.
13:43
Speaker 6: We've watched you since ninety three, Like I'm a hip
13:45
Speaker 6: hop baby born in the South Bronze care saw that
13:48
Speaker 6: the transition you've made from being an artist to being
13:52
Speaker 6: a boss to now being the algorithm.
13:56
Speaker 1: Can we talk you about that, because that's not an
13:57
Speaker 1: easy transition. I know there's a lot of.
13:58
Speaker 6: Creators in here, and they all social media and they're
14:01
Speaker 6: trying to figure this thing out, and they're posting, and
14:02
Speaker 6: they're posting talking about the being authentic inside of what
14:08
Speaker 6: you're creating to make yourself the algorithm.
14:12
Speaker 1: Where everything about me is authentic. So if I'm talking
14:15
Speaker 1: to a homeless man in the corner or I'm talking
14:18
Speaker 1: to a billionaire, I'm the same guy. These guys was
14:21
Speaker 1: in the vice president's house for dinner and they saw
14:25
Speaker 1: the normal Joey krack up in that you know you
14:28
Speaker 1: gotta get all tight, only not me like I'm joe Krag.
14:32
Speaker 1: I got up when in the kitchen, got my own shit.
14:35
Speaker 1: I gotta tell this story is this is a fact.
14:38
Speaker 1: We got the vice president out.
14:41
Speaker 5: The vice president's house and this is like a ten
14:45
Speaker 5: man her dining room. It's only ten people at the table.
14:48
Speaker 5: We're actually eating dinner with like ten people. And you
14:50
Speaker 5: know when they come they serve you. They have like
14:52
Speaker 5: white gloves on. Every person has a butler that comes
14:55
Speaker 5: puts the plates down.
14:56
Speaker 1: It's like a whole dinner thing, right.
14:59
Speaker 5: So Joe, they put the glass in front of us,
15:02
Speaker 5: and it was taking him a long time for them
15:04
Speaker 5: to poor water.
15:04
Speaker 1: I guess he was thirsty. So he gets up and
15:07
Speaker 1: he goes into the kitchen water like. It's like somebody's
15:12
Speaker 1: grandmother's called. I'm like, yo, where is he? This guy's killed?
15:15
Speaker 1: We all look like what's happening.
15:18
Speaker 6: But after that, I said, Yo, Joe, I love you
15:20
Speaker 6: even more than I did yesterday because it.
15:23
Speaker 1: Was so real. It was so real. Yeah, if you
15:25
Speaker 1: like fat Joe, you don't take me the way I
15:27
Speaker 1: am at all times, man, because that's the whole thing's
15:31
Speaker 1: being authentic and being true to yourself, man. And I'm
15:35
Speaker 1: not into people that fake it. You know, you get
15:37
Speaker 1: around a group of different people and your girlfriends start
15:40
Speaker 1: changing their voice and shit, and people that I'm not
15:43
Speaker 1: doing that shit. I'm not doing it, Like I'm just
15:47
Speaker 1: not I'm fat Joe, you accept me for who I
15:49
Speaker 1: am flows in all then were good. Then I fuck
15:52
Speaker 1: with you and I'll be like, yo, that's a rare
15:54
Speaker 1: one because I'm not changing.
15:56
Speaker 5: So you said something before that you was in the
15:59
Speaker 5: street your whole life, but you never got robbed by
16:01
Speaker 5: a street through.
16:02
Speaker 1: You only got robbed by people in suits.
16:04
Speaker 5: You talk about going to jail life, how is that
16:06
Speaker 5: to get taken advantage of by you know, accountant saying
16:11
Speaker 5: business people coming from you know where you come from,
16:14
Speaker 5: and maybe you could shed a little bit more light
16:16
Speaker 5: on that tax situation out that.
16:17
Speaker 1: The saddest thing is they come at you, and I
16:20
Speaker 1: don't want to disrespect because this is a beautiful room,
16:24
Speaker 1: but they come at you. It usually be your own
16:27
Speaker 1: people to begin with. And so I got robbed from
16:30
Speaker 1: my publishing when I was like nineteen, I came in
16:33
Speaker 1: the game. Latino dude came. His name was Jellybean Bdidez.
16:37
Speaker 1: He did shit for Merrick, Oh what's her name? The
16:41
Speaker 1: white Girl, Madonna, all of them. So he came to
16:44
Speaker 1: me and said, yo, young bro, you just in the game.
16:46
Speaker 1: We both Latino. I'll show you that that nigga robbed me.
16:51
Speaker 1: He robbed me and I've never seen him since. He
16:55
Speaker 1: been robbing me ever since. And so these people who
16:59
Speaker 1: were rob like me, I know a thief, you know,
17:02
Speaker 1: I know who's gonna stick me up or whatever. Usually
17:05
Speaker 1: they never stuck me up in their life. It's usually
17:08
Speaker 1: the guys with the bow ties and the smiles in
17:10
Speaker 1: your face. And then we want to trust them because
17:13
Speaker 1: they look like us, and they talk that Harvard shit
17:16
Speaker 1: and they talk all that smart shit, and they smiling
17:19
Speaker 1: at you, but they looking at you like you're less
17:22
Speaker 1: sophisticated than them. And so when they talking to you,
17:25
Speaker 1: they're just trying to realize what you don't know that
17:28
Speaker 1: I can rob them like that. I can rob them
17:30
Speaker 1: like that, I could rob them like that. And so
17:32
Speaker 1: my experience with accountants have been horrible. I got robbed
17:36
Speaker 1: two times. The one day talking about is the first
17:39
Speaker 1: time I went to jail for the guy robbing me.
17:42
Speaker 1: And recently, like two years ago here in Miami, I'm
17:45
Speaker 1: a video nigga counting firm. I don't even want to
17:50
Speaker 1: tell you. I told you beyond the scenes, the biggest
17:52
Speaker 1: people on earth, you know, use this account So I'm
17:55
Speaker 1: thinking I'm the littlest guy there. And so then I
17:59
Speaker 1: find out they robbed me for millions of dollars. We
18:02
Speaker 1: go through it, and now we're in the same bullshit,
18:04
Speaker 1: but at least this time, defense is like, oh no,
18:07
Speaker 1: you got robbed, yo, that's fucked up. It happened twice.
18:12
Speaker 1: Y'all said, yeah, but I got I went to jail
18:14
Speaker 1: the first time for this shit. Call me a criminal,
18:17
Speaker 1: and now you saying I'm a good guy. It's the
18:20
Speaker 1: same shit. And so you know, we gotta be careful.
18:25
Speaker 1: And that's why the financial literacy is so important. And
18:31
Speaker 1: also we need to be teaching this shit in like schools,
18:34
Speaker 1: like elementary, junior, high, high school. And so I tell
18:40
Speaker 1: my daughter. I tell my daughter all the time. She
18:44
Speaker 1: ain't with it and she ain't listening to me, but
18:47
Speaker 1: I tell her all the time. She was like, what
18:48
Speaker 1: you want me to beat that? I'd be like an accountant.
18:52
Speaker 1: And she's like, why, I said, I don't want us
18:54
Speaker 1: to get robbed. No more, I don't want you to
18:58
Speaker 1: get robbed because at my time, believe it, there's some shit.
19:00
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want them to rob you. You know,
19:03
Speaker 1: my son, he's trying to be a rapper, He's I
19:06
Speaker 1: I said, listen, how do you tell him? Okay, there's
19:22
Speaker 1: a scene. I'm into movies, right, I'm into movies, good ones,
19:26
Speaker 1: bad ones, scary ones, whatever. I always learned something for movie,
19:30
Speaker 1: like look at all this ai shit. They've been telling
19:33
Speaker 1: us this and the Terminator, right, So I take what
19:36
Speaker 1: I take out of the movie. So one of my
19:38
Speaker 1: favorite movies is The Godfather. Right. So the Godfather knows
19:42
Speaker 1: he's dying and he tells his son Michael Coleone says, listen,
19:46
Speaker 1: I don't care who's coming to you and tries to
19:50
Speaker 1: broker the piece. Even if they've been with you since
19:54
Speaker 1: the beginning of Earth. This guy's trying to set you
19:57
Speaker 1: up to get killed. And sure enough, once the Godfathers died,
20:02
Speaker 1: one of the Godfather's best friends for sixty years come
20:05
Speaker 1: and say, Michael, I want to set up the meeting
20:08
Speaker 1: for you to meet him and they he looks at me,
20:10
Speaker 1: he says, oh my god, it was Boalsini all along, right,
20:14
Speaker 1: So you don't know, sometimes you got the end of
20:16
Speaker 1: me with you. So I take my son and I
20:19
Speaker 1: sit him down next to all his uncles, who I
20:22
Speaker 1: consider my best friends, and I say, look, if this
20:25
Speaker 1: guy or this guy or this guy or this guy
20:29
Speaker 1: tells you that you're going to be a big rapper
20:33
Speaker 1: when I die and take your money to make an album.
20:35
Speaker 1: They're full of shit. Keep the money by a business,
20:40
Speaker 1: do something you do, not take the money I leave
20:44
Speaker 1: you to become a rapper.
20:47
Speaker 6: That's not for you, these uncles. Man, I'm telling you yo.
20:51
Speaker 6: So this is interesting, man, because I mean loyalty. When
20:55
Speaker 6: I think tell us squad, I think loyalty. I think
20:58
Speaker 6: longevity when when you're tested in those ways, right, like
21:02
Speaker 6: you went to federal prison for tax evasion, right because
21:05
Speaker 6: somebody that you thought you could trust turned out to
21:08
Speaker 6: be somebody that you couldn't.
21:09
Speaker 1: Now it's happened again.
21:11
Speaker 6: How do you have the mental fort or two to
21:13
Speaker 6: overcome unloyal people when that's all you know?
21:18
Speaker 1: Man, I got my heart broke in so many times.
21:21
Speaker 1: I had a best friend. The man was with me
21:25
Speaker 1: every single day for twenty five years. I would have
21:29
Speaker 1: died for this person, or allegedly killed somebody for this
21:34
Speaker 1: person to let you allegedly out.

Speaker 7: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
23:50
Speaker 7: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christinem, the United States Secretary
23:54
Speaker 7: of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings
23:59
Speaker 7: are at at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
24:02
Speaker 7: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
24:06

24:10
Speaker 7: one thousand dollars a day. Imprisoned and deported, you will
24:14
Speaker 7: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
24:17
Speaker 7: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
24:21
Speaker 7: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

Speaker 7: border and families will.
24:28
Speaker 1: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
24:31
Speaker 1: So you know, I'll tell you a story. I have
24:35
Speaker 1: two biological brothers. Right I was in LA. I couldn't
24:39
Speaker 1: be there. My mother had emergency operation. They was like,
24:43
Speaker 1: she's sick, she had a heart attack. They have to
24:46
Speaker 1: do a procedure. This is that. And usually, even though
24:49
Speaker 1: I got older brothers, she would only listen to me.
24:54
Speaker 1: So this guy, who is my best friend, I sent
24:56
Speaker 1: him to the hospital because I'm in LA. He shows
25:00
Speaker 1: up and the doctor's like, miss, we got to do
25:02
Speaker 1: the procedure because your kids wanted this. And then she
25:04
Speaker 1: goes no. When the guy walks in, she said, what
25:08
Speaker 1: do you say? She said, this is my son to
25:11
Speaker 1: my best friend. Because I was so tight with him.
25:13
Speaker 1: She called him her son over her sons, and he said, nah, man,
25:19
Speaker 1: Joe said do the procedure. She went, she did the procedure.
25:22
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to tell you how much of a
25:25
Speaker 1: best friend. If Fat Joe bought a Lamborghini, I bought
25:30
Speaker 1: him a Lamborghini. If I bought anything, he had anything.
25:34
Speaker 1: So when I go through the taxes, there's something called
25:37
Speaker 1: forensic accounting. So as we looking at everything, my new
25:43
Speaker 1: account looks at me and he does this. He goes
25:48
Speaker 1: and I say, yo, what's up? He was like, man, says,
25:53
Speaker 1: here your best friends such and such. H he's stealing
25:58
Speaker 1: your money. And he goes back years and look at this.
26:02
Speaker 1: He's paying his kids school, he's buying his cars with
26:05
Speaker 1: your accounts. Did we shared account where he could just
26:08
Speaker 1: go in my account and get whatever he want? We
26:10
Speaker 1: talking about loyalty, right, So it broke my NAP. I
26:17
Speaker 1: deal with death. I deal with gef. I'm real good
26:19
Speaker 1: with beef and war like street shit. I'm one of
26:23
Speaker 1: the best, right, but this type of betrayal. I go
26:29
Speaker 1: home to my house here in Miami. My wife was
26:32
Speaker 1: cooking and I've been the papers. I call him over.
26:36
Speaker 1: He comes over like, oh, it's yourself, God, what's up.
26:39
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, it's something wrong. I said. The count said,
26:46
Speaker 1: you spending all my You know, you're stealing my money.
26:49
Speaker 8: And it is this your kid's school. Is this a
26:54
Speaker 8: car for your wife? Is this trips to Paris? Is
26:57
Speaker 8: this with your wife and bags and louis this? And
27:01
Speaker 8: I knew this guy for twenty five years. His face
27:04
Speaker 8: just went and I start shaking. The commotions like this,
27:12
Speaker 8: I start shaking. I couldn't even control it.
27:16
Speaker 1: That was it, all the real nigga shit. A'll let
27:19
Speaker 1: out the window. This is your best friend. They just
27:24
Speaker 1: sold millions of dollars that put you in jail, and
27:27
Speaker 1: the first thing you get to hear is your best friend.
27:31
Speaker 1: When I was in jail, my wife giving him ten
27:34
Speaker 1: thousand a month to make sure he don't look fucked
27:36
Speaker 1: up in the streets till I get out. I'm shaking.
27:42
Speaker 1: All I could do was scream, why why, why? Why? Why?
27:47
Speaker 1: Because I would have gave him anything, And so, you know, betrayal,
27:53
Speaker 1: it's hard when you deal with loyalty, when you really
27:57
Speaker 1: put that first and somebody do that to you. You
28:00
Speaker 1: can't build the wall high enough to get over that feeling.
28:04
Speaker 1: Most his answer, he ain't have I don't want to
28:08
Speaker 1: tell y'all what he said. Okay, no, no, no, do
28:12
Speaker 1: want to tell y'all. Let's just say he really feared
28:16
Speaker 1: for his safety, really feared for his safety, and so
28:20
Speaker 1: that's why he was screaming, please don't, please, don't, please don't, please, don't,
28:24
Speaker 1: please don't please don't please don't, please don't. That's the
28:28
Speaker 1: loose please. And I'm like, like, that's the hook. And
28:32
Speaker 1: I couldn't even do it, you know, I couldn't even
28:35
Speaker 1: hurt the guy. Loved him, I was godfather to his
28:38
Speaker 1: son everything. I was just like, so we just casted
28:41
Speaker 1: him off and just go somewhere else. Man, you can't
28:45
Speaker 1: come around here in them are.
28:46
Speaker 5: So, So, what's the best practices to not get taken
28:49
Speaker 5: advantage of? Because it happened to you twice, like for
28:53
Speaker 5: up and coming creators, a lot of creatives here on
28:55
Speaker 5: the music side, art side, what's the best practices that
28:59
Speaker 5: you've learned to not getting the whole school.
29:01
Speaker 1: One I heard Oprah Winfrey Oprah Winfrey say and call it,
29:07
Speaker 1: just said it recently is sign your own checks. I
29:10
Speaker 1: know it's annoying. Look after your own bills. Take out
29:14
Speaker 1: the time to look after what you spending because otherwise
29:18
Speaker 1: they gonna rob you. I just don't know why people
29:22
Speaker 1: can't keep their hands in their pocket, Why they got
29:25
Speaker 1: to touch the cookie jar. But they get tempted with
29:29
Speaker 1: the money all the time and if you don't watch it,
29:32
Speaker 1: they're gonna go. And so so now we got I
29:35
Speaker 1: hope is great. But we got like three of us
29:39
Speaker 1: watching this ship and then accounting, you know, so we
29:44
Speaker 1: watching and watching and watching, you know, and uh and
29:48
Speaker 1: so that's the magic of it. You know, that's the
29:51
Speaker 1: magic of it. Ye're classing ninety three, like I said earlier.
29:55
Speaker 6: And one of the things that we've seen is that
29:58
Speaker 6: generation before you uh, you know, the kress Ones, the
30:01
Speaker 6: Big Daddy Kynes, the Kumodes.
30:05
Speaker 1: We've never had a union in hip hop.
30:07
Speaker 6: And so I know there's some creators that are here
30:09
Speaker 6: that are getting into music.
30:10
Speaker 1: I know it's something that you've been passionate about.
30:12
Speaker 6: I saw Interes in hardwhich just did something with nas
30:15
Speaker 6: and they're trying to create something. You know, this is
30:17
Speaker 6: this is an industry with there is no health insurance
30:20
Speaker 6: and there is no benefits, right, there is no four
30:22
Speaker 6: one K what's your thoughts on unionization inside of the
30:26
Speaker 6: world of hip hop.
30:29
Speaker 1: So the good brother doctor Umar, Okay, get me the
30:36
Speaker 1: fuck off. I fuck with him, right, and I like
30:42
Speaker 1: him a lot. I almost love him, and I can't
30:45
Speaker 1: agree with one hundred percent of this ship because then
30:47
Speaker 1: the woman will want to kill me as some ship. Right.
30:49
Speaker 1: But I fuck with him, right. And so he was
30:52
Speaker 1: saying that hip hop don't do nothing, So I wanted
30:55
Speaker 1: to researched, you know, like every I know, what I've done,
30:59
Speaker 1: when I've done is incredible. I just told you that
31:02
Speaker 1: when it was hot outside, we didn't have the ac
31:04
Speaker 1: I had to sleep on the floor. I just saw you.
31:07
Speaker 1: It was most nights we ate rice and eggs. We
31:10
Speaker 1: ain't have shit. We was broke, and so I invest
31:15
Speaker 1: in the community myself anytime something's a problem. Just last year,
31:19
Speaker 1: we had seventeen Muslim African brothers and sisters that died
31:23
Speaker 1: of the fire in the Pronx. We raised two million dollars.
31:27
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico had the hurricane. Donald Trump threw fucking tissues
31:30
Speaker 1: at the Puerto Ricans. We sent a million pounds of
31:34
Speaker 1: women hygiens and food and medicine for planes to Puerto Rico.
31:39
Speaker 1: That's just me, you know. Doctor d donated seventy million
31:43
Speaker 1: dollars to a college in La jay Z got the
31:47
Speaker 1: the Justice Reform where he raises millions and millions of
31:50
Speaker 1: dollars for people in the hood to go. So I'm
31:53
Speaker 1: telling you piece, my piece why hip hop is done.
31:57
Speaker 1: So doctor Umar says, hip hop ain't doe shit. We
31:59
Speaker 1: ain't got the union. We got our own hospital. We
32:02
Speaker 1: ain't got I disagree, right, And so we all do
32:06
Speaker 1: it our own way. And unfortunately, the hip hop game
32:09
Speaker 1: has always been to every man or every woman for themselves.
32:13
Speaker 1: And even though we love each other and we do
32:16
Speaker 1: share camaraderie, and even though we do have a fraternity,
32:20
Speaker 1: unfortunately it was structed this way. I don't know if
32:24
Speaker 1: it was done like that purposely. So we can't help
32:27
Speaker 1: each other but unionize it. And given the less fortunate artists,
32:31
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta think of life without music. You
32:35
Speaker 1: gotta think about imagine life without music. Think that every
32:40
Speaker 1: time you broke up with your man and you listen
32:42
Speaker 1: to that song and it got you through, or your
32:44
Speaker 1: mother passed away and you listen to the end of the road.
32:48
Speaker 1: All the time, our brothers and sisters went out to war,
32:51
Speaker 1: but they had to listen to DMX so Noorry to
32:54
Speaker 1: get through. The beauty of music is incredible, It's impactful.
32:59
Speaker 1: It's the universal language of the world. I've been to
33:03
Speaker 1: places that don't talk English, but they know every song
33:06
Speaker 1: I say on stage. So we gotta look out for
33:10
Speaker 1: the guys who paid the way, the pioneers who put
33:12
Speaker 1: it down. I'm all for a union, I'm all for
33:15
Speaker 1: health care for I'm all for healthcare. You know, I
33:19
Speaker 1: don't know if you know. I'm representing you guys, because
33:23
Speaker 1: there's over one hundred million people in America that are
33:27
Speaker 1: bankrupt because of health care product prices. Now, if you're
33:32
Speaker 1: a man and you bankrupt, you know your wife don't
33:34
Speaker 1: want you no more. Solver in the cribs. Money is
33:38
Speaker 1: a problem, especially if you ain't getting it like that,
33:43
Speaker 1: so it breaks homes. This isn't Republican, this isn't democrat,
33:48
Speaker 1: this isn't white, Black, Spanish, Amish, Native American. They taking
33:53
Speaker 1: advantage of us. And the only thing when you bought
33:56
Speaker 1: that bag, you knew the price. When you bought them shades,
33:59
Speaker 1: you knew the price. When I bought that sandwich, I
34:01
Speaker 1: knew the price. But you go to the hospital and
34:05
Speaker 1: they don't tell you the fucking price. And there's people
34:09
Speaker 1: taking the mrve that paid two thousand dollars. The same
34:15
Speaker 1: person online is paying four thousand. The next person on
34:19
Speaker 1: line is paying four hundred. So we need them to
34:23
Speaker 1: show us the prices so that now we can go
34:26
Speaker 1: to our three favorite hospitals and say, oh, no, no, no,
34:30
Speaker 1: I'm going over there because that shit is four hundred,
34:33
Speaker 1: it ain't four thousand. And it's the law already, so
34:37
Speaker 1: they need to enforce it. And so there's a big
34:40
Speaker 1: We passed the law in New York first time in
34:42
Speaker 1: the history by the way, you want to talk about
34:45
Speaker 1: hip hop. We passed the law in New York City
34:48
Speaker 1: healthcare transparency. They have to tell you the prices. The
34:52
Speaker 1: mayor set up an office just to enforce that. Now Monday,
34:56
Speaker 1: were going for the shit in America. W I mean,
35:00
Speaker 1: Jeffries is bringing the law. What's the name of the act?
35:05
Speaker 1: Rich you here? Man? Man back there, man doing some shit.
35:11
Speaker 1: What They're going to try to pass the transparency law
35:14
Speaker 1: in America? And that's important for you guys because we
35:17
Speaker 1: get almost uber rized the healthcare system. So we know
35:21
Speaker 1: what we paying, we know what we gotta pay. They
35:23
Speaker 1: taking advantage of Americans all over.
35:26
Speaker 5: You know when I shouted to that clot it off
35:28
Speaker 5: for that Joe. You know when I first realized what
35:34
Speaker 5: you were talking about. So I used to play ball
35:36
Speaker 5: and I was in college and I fractured my risk.
35:39
Speaker 5: So I had to go to the doctor and they
35:40
Speaker 5: put a like a slint on my slant thing on
35:43
Speaker 5: my wrist. It wasn't that big of adea. I just
35:45
Speaker 5: had to sit out for like six weeks. They sent
35:47
Speaker 5: me the bill, but I think they sent me the
35:49
Speaker 5: bill by accident. It was supposed to go to my
35:50
Speaker 5: insurance company. Long story short, Actually, for some reason I
35:54
Speaker 5: read it. I probably would have normally just threw it away.
35:56
Speaker 1: But I read it.
35:57
Speaker 5: They said they did surgery on my wrist and I
35:59
Speaker 5: broke my arm. So they build for like two hundred
36:03
Speaker 5: thousand dollars. So what I realize is that they're building
36:05
Speaker 5: the insurance company. Now you can say, well, what is
36:07
Speaker 5: that get because now it all is a trickle down effect.
36:09
Speaker 5: The insurance company's paying two hundred thousand dollars for something
36:12
Speaker 5: that costs five hundred dollars, right, So now that's why
36:15
Speaker 5: your insurance premiums are so high, because the insurance company
36:18
Speaker 5: is passing that. They're not taking a loss, they're passing
36:20
Speaker 5: that down to you. So this is like the biggest
36:23
Speaker 5: crime in the world right now where you could just literally,
36:26
Speaker 5: like you said, there's no transparency at all.
36:28
Speaker 1: You can see if we go to jail. If we
36:30
Speaker 1: did that shit a year, one hundred years, for one
36:33
Speaker 1: hundred years, we would go to jail. It was probably
36:37
Speaker 1: extortion all type of shit, but they getting away with it.
36:41
Speaker 1: You know.
36:42
Speaker 5: Let me ask you this as far as art, this
36:44
Speaker 5: is our Bosles. I do want to talk about art
36:45
Speaker 5: before we leave. So coming up in the Bronx, you know, graffiti,
36:49
Speaker 5: and that's actually how Bosky I started.
36:52
Speaker 1: That's how you started.
36:53
Speaker 5: I know, I'm a legend in graffiti that Joe's like
36:56
Speaker 5: Forrest Gump if he's actually done everything.
37:00
Speaker 1: You actually were a graffiti artists right before that. You
37:02
Speaker 1: were a real fucking graffiti You was there when they
37:05
Speaker 1: was breakdancing, they got they got to there. I'm from
37:07
Speaker 1: the Bronx where shit invented. I wasn't that old. I
37:11
Speaker 1: was a kid, but yeah, with break dancing graffiti. Uh.
37:15
Speaker 1: I used to sneak out the house at night. My
37:19
Speaker 1: sister Rest in Peace. She would be like telling me no,
37:22
Speaker 1: like you know, I'd be like, yoll open the door.
37:25
Speaker 1: I go right on the trains, you know, and so
37:29
Speaker 1: I would have to make it back before the sun
37:31
Speaker 1: came up because my father and mother they worked earlier.
37:34
Speaker 1: They and I was more afraid of my father than
37:37
Speaker 1: I was even the cops, because he would really bust
37:40
Speaker 1: my ass legendary and so you know, I remember one time,
37:46
Speaker 1: so graffiti, you wasn't a real graffiti writer, right, So
37:50
Speaker 1: if you rap and somebody writes your raps, we don't
37:53
Speaker 1: really consider you a real rapper. This true story. It's
37:56
Speaker 1: different with R and B. In graffiti, if you don't
37:59
Speaker 1: steal the pain, you have to actually steal the paint
38:03
Speaker 1: to be considered the real deal. You get it ain't
38:06
Speaker 1: real graffiti. If you buy the paint, you gotta go
38:09
Speaker 1: in the store and steal the paint. So one day
38:12
Speaker 1: I go in the store, I steal the paint. Where
38:14
Speaker 1: I go with my father all the time, he was
38:16
Speaker 1: a carpenter. The man catches me stealing the fucking pain.
38:22
Speaker 1: I start crying like a baby. Please don't tell my father,
38:32
Speaker 1: But you know my life. You know, graffiti is really
38:36
Speaker 1: an addiction, and I'm still addicted to it. I fight
38:39
Speaker 1: every day for not de shying property. I'll be like, damn,
