- 0:51Speaker 1: the music video. It's a moment the HS eighty seven
- 0:54Speaker 1: album comes out. Were you able to kind of like
- 0:57Speaker 1: see like the g Unit remix of that song and
- 1:00Speaker 1: all that stuff when you were out or did that
- 1:01Speaker 1: all happen? Like? What? What? What? At what point in time?
- 1:04Speaker 2: Did we was in New York when we actually thought
- 1:07Speaker 2: the song was our song. We was riding in New
- 1:10Speaker 2: York and we heard it, We heard him, were like
- 1:13Speaker 2: what the fuck, Like my nigga, you need to holler
- 1:17Speaker 2: at you.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Yeah. No, that was a crazy moment because because like
- 1:20Speaker 1: like you said, I think a lot of people, especially
- 1:23Speaker 1: on the East Coast, had kind of like saying.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Go shit, what're saying?
- 1:29Speaker 1: You don't even take your wife back? For people who
- 1:31Speaker 1: don't know, the last time he was on the show,
- 1:33Speaker 1: he had a dinosaur mask on. We're gonna have to
- 1:36Speaker 1: cut to that. Don't forget his iPad. iPad is a must. Sure, no,
- 1:45Speaker 1: but I think a lot of a lot of people
- 1:47Speaker 1: who weren't hip to what y'all were doing assumed that
- 1:49Speaker 1: was like a G unit record. That was wild. That
- 1:53Speaker 1: was wild.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Like I remember we we was in New York, like
- 1:56Speaker 3: you said, we landed, we heard that joint and we
- 1:59Speaker 3: actually pulled up on fifty and chopped it with him
- 2:02Speaker 3: that day, and the nigga was like showing love, like
- 2:04Speaker 3: he was breaking down niggas versus knew who everybody was
- 2:07Speaker 3: on the song. I had the whole squad out there
- 2:09Speaker 3: in New York, you know what I mean. So you
- 2:11Speaker 3: know what I mean. But then it kind of just
- 2:12Speaker 3: like fast forward just kind of was like niggas they
- 2:17Speaker 3: low key just snatched the swag up.
- 2:19Speaker 1: They didn't for sure.
- 2:21Speaker 3: That's one of my favorite I mean I was like
- 2:23Speaker 3: the last uh, you know time niggas took g Unit series.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Was like all Norse swags. So that's actually not too
- 2:30Speaker 1: far from the truth in terms of a group living.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Else literally is the truth. That was the last moment
- 2:35Speaker 3: they had, you know what I mean, because they had.

- 4:52Speaker 1: What was it for? Run? Okay? Yeah?
- 4:56Speaker 2: A car accident?
- 4:56Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I may or may not hit a car
- 5:01Speaker 1: in the parking lot and kept you moving. I've been
- 5:06Speaker 1: in the position whereped down there at least seven or
- 5:08Speaker 1: eight times when I was like twenty twenty two, no insurance,
- 5:11Speaker 1: might tap somebody. You know what I'm saying? You know?
- 5:14Speaker 2: Yeah, Nah, it's shit. Niggas just trying to rob me,
- 5:17Speaker 2: you feel me. I'm coming from a humble county with
- 5:19Speaker 2: like one hundred pounds a tree and niggas on we
- 5:22Speaker 2: hitting red lights, running, niggas shooting all kinds of shit,
- 5:25Speaker 2: and we crashed and jumped out and ran, but the
- 5:29Speaker 2: other people got hurt. So they were saying that, you know,
- 5:32Speaker 2: basically the whole argument was saying that I should have
- 5:35Speaker 2: stopped and assisted the people in the car who were
- 5:37Speaker 2: trying to rob you. There was no no, the other
- 5:40Speaker 2: the other people got you know what I'm saying, somebody's
- 5:42Speaker 2: trying to pull over, but we clipped them in the
- 5:45Speaker 2: back and they flipped over and got hurt.
- 5:49Speaker 1: So so and so. So it's because because people don't
- 5:52Speaker 1: know Humble County is like a wild place, like yeah,
- 5:54Speaker 1: it's like it's like Narco's in the forest out there.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Yeah, that too, but it's a lawless lamb. They gets short.
- 6:00Speaker 2: It's off the map. You got a lot of spots
- 6:02Speaker 2: that's eving off the grid. You don't. You can't even
- 6:05Speaker 2: google them, you know, they just word of mouth. You
- 6:07Speaker 2: can't live in that community unless you grow on trees
- 6:10Speaker 2: and all kinds of ship like you're not welcome.
- 6:12Speaker 1: No, for sure. We had Burner on the show and
- 6:15Speaker 1: he told us the story he had to go up
- 6:17Speaker 1: a mountain to pick up like I think it was
- 6:19Speaker 1: like a box, like one hundred pounds or something. Yeah,
- 6:22Speaker 1: and he was he was afraid. Uh yeah, essentially some
- 6:27Speaker 1: similar kind of had happened. Yeah, he was just explaining
- 6:30Speaker 1: how crazy it is up there. It's like they got
- 6:31Speaker 1: their own just.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Telling me how you was like you had didn't know nobody.
- 6:35Speaker 3: You was like talking to the homeless people.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
- 6:37Speaker 2: When I got out, I was hearing about Humble County.
- 6:40Speaker 2: You know, he's always buying that messking with compressed brown
- 6:42Speaker 2: ship and that cush came about, Like fuck it, I
- 6:45Speaker 2: gotta go up here. I just went up there with
- 6:48Speaker 2: a pocket full of money, hanging out with the bums
- 6:50Speaker 2: and you know, the homeless people and ship, and.
- 6:53Speaker 1: They put you in the right direction away.
- 6:55Speaker 2: They was the man, this ship, the homeless people was
- 6:58Speaker 2: the demand.
- 6:58Speaker 1: They said.
- 6:59Speaker 2: I ended up and you know that's how linked up
- 7:01Speaker 2: with them. We're just going out hanging out, just you know,
- 7:04Speaker 2: they was hungry. Ship buying a fool. Like everything they wanted.

- 7:41Speaker 1: it was medically I don't think it was. It might
- 7:44Speaker 1: it might have.

- 8:01Speaker 1: they're so with these dispensaries and the taxes and like
- 8:05Speaker 1: it's just wild though, because like we just did this
- 8:06Speaker 1: event called His Olympics with Gucci, Maine and Burner and

- 8:11Speaker 1: in the middle of downtown. Oh yeah, like ten years Yeah,
- 8:15Speaker 1: like ten years ago. If you would have told me,
- 8:16Speaker 1: I'd be like hanging out in downtown LA and just
- 8:18Speaker 1: there's just an open drug market and there's police at
- 8:21Speaker 1: the door and like what the fuck is going on? Yeah,
- 8:24Speaker 1: and there's still people somehow like incarcerated in California for
- 8:28Speaker 1: for weed.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Yeah, they do that up there to reggae on the river.
- 8:31Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Everybody come there with their
- 8:33Speaker 2: special trees. They don'e cloned in special you know, hybrids

- 8:41Speaker 2: come up there and they go to the dispensaries and
- 8:43Speaker 2: they regulate the clones and you know that's the thing.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Get that main strain where they don't nobody have it
- 8:48Speaker 2: and try to keep that strain and boom right.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Yo, getting out after eight or nine years, sitting down
- 8:56Speaker 1: obviously you have TV, you have some sort of awareness
- 8:59Speaker 1: what's going on. But what was like the one thing
- 9:01Speaker 1: once you're out and free that you saw that you
- 9:03Speaker 1: were like, oh this is different, Like was it like
- 9:06Speaker 1: a tesla?

- 14:49Speaker 3: sent him a joint with the open verse. He called
- 14:51Speaker 3: me like, Yo, this shit hard. I'm gonna see if I.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Can come up with something, and him and Big Hit
- 14:55Speaker 1: chopped it. I was a moment you and NAS aren't
- 14:58Speaker 1: far apart in like age.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Right Yeah, now as cold as fucked too.
- 15:04Speaker 1: You got to kick it as he kicked it with
- 15:06Speaker 1: NAZR right before Nas went back on tourn just got back,
- 15:10Speaker 1: but he was a big he got out, he came
- 15:13Speaker 1: through Vibe with us, heard some music.
- 15:15Speaker 3: He was rocking with it heavy, you know what I mean.
- 15:17Speaker 3: Crazy left on tour a couple of days later. That's
- 15:19Speaker 3: crazy for you hit what was like obviously your generation?
- 15:23Speaker 3: What'd you grow up listening to?
- 15:24Speaker 1: What? Who influenced you? Oh? Shit?
- 15:27Speaker 2: N w A man uh kl ress you know what
- 15:31Speaker 2: I'm saying, biz Markie like rest in peace, Yeah, Uncle
- 15:36Speaker 2: Jim's army man. It's all the old schools.
- 15:39Speaker 1: It's crazy too because like even just hip hop has
- 15:42Speaker 1: changed so much in nine years, right, Like there's so
- 15:46Speaker 1: much like there's good ship about it because I feel
- 15:48Speaker 1: like there's not a lot of gatekeepers now, like you
- 15:51Speaker 1: could just upload ship on your own and go straight
- 15:53Speaker 1: to the people, like like you were saying, like when
- 15:55Speaker 1: y'all were with HS eighty seven and the Henderscope situation,
- 15:57Speaker 1: it's an uphill battle to do anything right anything. But
- 16:00Speaker 1: also there's a lot more bullshit, but like it's kind
- 16:03Speaker 1: of crazy, like he's fine, they ain't picking up on them.
- 16:08Speaker 1: He's fine. Yeah, it's fine, he's fine. But I was
- 16:12Speaker 1: gonna say, for you, like being a real dude who
- 16:14Speaker 1: comes out and you kind of see like there's all
- 16:16Speaker 1: these artists who are kind of like I feel like
- 16:20Speaker 1: the snitching thing is like widely accepted in hip hop now,
- 16:23Speaker 1: and like there's so much like not real shit, like
- 16:28Speaker 1: you know, like that's why I said you're feeling a void,
- 16:30Speaker 1: because there's definitely like a void for like real authentic
- 16:32Speaker 1: street la shit that sound that doesn't sound like I
- 16:37Speaker 1: guess what we're used to like. But for you, like,
- 16:39Speaker 1: do you did you feel that when you came out,
- 16:41Speaker 1: like when you start kind of seeing some of the
- 16:42Speaker 1: shit that's going on in hip hop or you're like, man,
- 16:44Speaker 1: this shit is kind of turned into some weirdo shit or.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Nah, I don't even listen to people's shit.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Man.
- 16:50Speaker 2: I kind of was isolated, like in the show type
- 16:54Speaker 2: I always isolate myself, and I just know, tell my story, man,
- 16:58Speaker 2: what I feel you were?
- 17:00Speaker 1: You were? Was it twenty three hour, twenty three hours
- 17:03Speaker 1: a day lockdown?
- 17:04Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, well some days twenty four no Monday, Wednesday
- 17:08Speaker 2: and Friday, you go out with a hour or something
- 17:11Speaker 2: on the yard.
- 17:12Speaker 1: That's got man, that's got to be crazy just to
- 17:15Speaker 1: be twenty three hours a day. Yeah yeah. I mean,
- 17:18Speaker 1: like people.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Don't even know, like he really been locked up virtually
- 17:22Speaker 3: since he was nineteen years old. He only been out
- 17:24Speaker 3: a couple of times, never for longer than a year.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Because you just got out before, right, Yeah, yeah, been
- 17:30Speaker 1: all like six weeks.
- 17:32Speaker 3: He was talking about when we did grind them all life. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 17:36Speaker 3: yeh damn.

- 17:47Speaker 3: Thirty years of your life and that joint is that's
- 17:50Speaker 3: that's that's a different level.
- 17:52Speaker 1: It's important too to like, you know, I think a
- 17:54Speaker 1: lot of people who are incarcerated feel like when they
- 17:57Speaker 1: do that kind of time, they think their life's over.
- 17:59Speaker 2: And yeah again garantee you it's.
- 18:01Speaker 1: I think it's dope though that you can show an
- 18:02Speaker 1: example that, like, you know, if you're sitting down doing time,
- 18:06Speaker 1: there's there's a light, you know what I'm saying, as.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Long as you're breathing, you in the gag. If you

- 22:05Speaker 1: let's get back to the interview. I was gonna say
- 22:08Speaker 1: hit for you. Uh, it's been it's been a crazy
- 22:11Speaker 1: last three or four years in terms of just like
- 22:15Speaker 1: some of the moments that you've had. Obviously, it's been
- 22:17Speaker 1: a crazy last like twelve years for you. But what's
- 22:22Speaker 1: up is, uh is the is the King's Disease series over?
- 22:26Speaker 1: I mean, you can't ever say that.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Me and Nas, we study work and we you know,
- 22:29Speaker 3: we definitely got new music, you know, we I don't
- 22:31Speaker 3: know exactly which way it is gonna go, you know,
- 22:33Speaker 3: that's Nas and he do what he do. But you know,
- 22:36Speaker 3: when it's time, I'm just gonna be available. But I
- 22:39Speaker 3: can't say it's over, you know what I mean.
- 22:41Speaker 1: I was gonna say, how many artists have hit you
- 22:44Speaker 1: to kind of try to do the same thing, because
- 22:47Speaker 1: it'd be a nice it'd be a nice premium to
- 22:48Speaker 1: have a homely produced hipway album.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Definitely a few, you know what I mean, Like I
- 22:52Speaker 3: did the Bennie album. I did a couple of different joints,
- 22:55Speaker 3: but I mean me and Nas we got a different level,
- 22:59Speaker 3: just a different level of a personal, you know, relationship.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Like it's just like we that should just be working.
- 23:05Speaker 1: We getting there.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Sometimes I get in with an artists and it just
- 23:08Speaker 3: don't get nothing. With Nas, we always gonna get at
- 23:10Speaker 3: least a verse a hook, something done, like when you
- 23:13Speaker 3: pull up. So that's just the ill shit. So we
- 23:15Speaker 3: were always just making music.
- 23:17Speaker 1: I was gonna say. I always go back and forth
- 23:19Speaker 1: between whether like Magic or King's Disease three the most
- 23:23Speaker 1: out of your guys' bodies of work, that's that's. I
- 23:25Speaker 1: hear that all the time. Most I'm a magic person exactly,
- 23:28Speaker 1: mostly be Magic. And it's crazy because Magic is the
- 23:31Speaker 1: one record that we just woke up one day and
- 23:32Speaker 1: it was just like, what the fuck? Man exactly, but
- 23:35Speaker 1: what's your favorite?
- 23:37Speaker 3: I mean, Katie three Man, I like all of them, bro,
- 23:40Speaker 3: I can't lie like I got special moments that I
- 23:43Speaker 3: just like, feel super connected to them every album.
- 23:45Speaker 1: But I feel like it's progressively I like each project somehow,
- 23:49Speaker 1: like it just kept getting better.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Yeah that's I mean, you know, I feel like we
- 23:53Speaker 3: just jelling, start jelling more, like I start getting more
- 23:56Speaker 3: into my just history of NAS music.
- 23:58Speaker 1: I'm from the.
- 23:58Speaker 3: West Coast, so it's like I did and only grew
- 24:01Speaker 3: up here in the NAS hits that was on the radio.
- 24:03Speaker 3: My family super West Coast, so they wasn't playing nads
- 24:06Speaker 3: like that, you know what I mean. So I know
- 24:07Speaker 3: I had some friends, so they family might have played knas,
- 24:10Speaker 3: but just as far as my circle, it wasn't, you know,
- 24:13Speaker 3: something that was embedded in me the way like certain
- 24:16Speaker 3: West Coast music would be like Snoop Dogg music or something.
- 24:19Speaker 3: So I had to really learn and really study them
- 24:21Speaker 3: albums and really be like, Okay, this is what people
- 24:24Speaker 3: like from him.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Let me take this and just mix it with what
- 24:26Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, I was gonna say you guys, you
- 24:30Speaker 1: and Alchemists put out the incredible freestyle that went viral
- 24:33Speaker 1: or rapping over each other's beats, which I thought was genius.
- 24:39Speaker 1: I also think we don't get enough Alchemists rapping these days.
- 24:42Speaker 1: We need a new step brothers out by the while.
- 24:43Speaker 1: But would you guys do a whole project like that? Bro,
- 24:46Speaker 1: we already got one. We already got well.
- 24:49Speaker 3: Bro, we got like all slipping in the darkness level
- 24:52Speaker 3: like joints, like you know it's gonna happen when it happened.
- 24:54Speaker 1: But it's just you guys are both rapping.
- 24:56Speaker 3: Yeah, were stacking him up, like I seeing him beats
- 25:00Speaker 3: and send me beats and we'll just go in send
- 25:02Speaker 3: them back. When you do a verse, you do a
- 25:03Speaker 3: hook like we It's just it's ill, like we're giving
- 25:06Speaker 3: each other direction just through sending joints over and just
- 25:09Speaker 3: like you know what I mean?
- 25:10Speaker 1: Do you guys like I wonder how that works because
- 25:13Speaker 1: like obviously you guys are both all time great producers.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Is it do you guys collaborate on the beats together?
- 25:18Speaker 2: Is it? Like?
- 25:19Speaker 1: Yo, this is a photo of shit. I got this
- 25:20Speaker 1: a pholdo of shit you got. Let's pick which ones
- 25:22Speaker 1: we like and then or is it like, hey, yeah
- 25:24Speaker 1: you have a loop, He's got a loop. We honestly
- 25:27Speaker 1: is so new of a process that we we haven't
- 25:30Speaker 1: even got to cook together yet. It's just been sending
- 25:32Speaker 1: shit back and forth.
- 25:33Speaker 3: But we got we got a nice slow amount of
- 25:36Speaker 3: joints already just off that.
- 25:37Speaker 1: So I kind of feel like you what you did
- 25:40Speaker 1: with that was like the what Kendrick did with the
- 25:42Speaker 1: control the control record.
- 25:45Speaker 3: That was my exact sentiment, you know, wanted to challenge
- 25:48Speaker 3: the game and had some fun and raise some questions.
- 25:51Speaker 3: That's never like I never said niggas was whack. No
- 25:54Speaker 3: other than one person, Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.
- 25:57Speaker 3: But it's like I never said the rest of them
- 25:59Speaker 3: dudes was whack. I just was like, Kim do do this.
- 26:01Speaker 3: I've never seen him do this, you know what I mean? Like,
- 26:03Speaker 3: that's that's all it was putting in put it in
- 26:06Speaker 3: context and an artistic Did.
- 26:08Speaker 1: You and hit Maker ever have a combo after your
- 26:10Speaker 1: guys is online? Back and forth? Nah? I just assumed
- 26:14Speaker 1: it was like it was like nice promotion for everybody, right, No,
- 26:17Speaker 1: that was great man, for sure. That was how I
- 26:20Speaker 1: think I think you hit it on the head because like,
- 26:22Speaker 1: who did I have? I had Eric Bellinger here and
- 26:24Speaker 1: we're talking about like the difference between you guys like
- 26:29Speaker 1: Rick Rubin doesn't make beats, did you?
- 26:31Speaker 3: Like obviously you mean, I feel like I'm sure he
- 26:33Speaker 3: made some of them. Classes Rick Rubin says he doesn't
- 26:36Speaker 3: know how to do anything. He's there for his taste.
- 26:39Speaker 3: I don't believe it. I think that's the older Rick Rubin.
- 26:42Speaker 3: I know he was in there cooking something which I
- 26:44Speaker 3: don't know.
- 26:44Speaker 1: He said that he doesn't make any beats. He's there
- 26:48Speaker 1: for his taste, and I feel like, I mean, that's
- 26:50Speaker 1: like kind of the lame hitmakers. And it's like you
- 26:52Speaker 1: bring hit making because he's got a ear, he's got
- 26:54Speaker 1: the writers, and then you you got it all. You
- 26:57Speaker 1: could take the NPC out and you could you know,
- 27:01Speaker 1: there's nothing you can't touch, you know what I'm saying.
- 27:03Speaker 1: We're gonna leave it at that. Yeah, Jesus, I just
- 27:09Speaker 1: saw did in Paris just have a new certification? It
- 27:13Speaker 1: just went diamond. Yeah.
- 27:14Speaker 3: Crazy, And it's crazy because you know that was like
- 27:17Speaker 3: a few years before the streaming are so that was
- 27:19Speaker 3: like people really buying that song.
- 27:21Speaker 1: That's that's like the difference in the game now.
- 27:24Speaker 3: Like I just feel like it was like a little
- 27:27Speaker 3: more urned back in the day. Like I just seen
- 27:29Speaker 3: Ice Spice. How long she been out less than years.
- 27:31Speaker 3: She got a billion streams. Like I'm like, I gave
- 27:34Speaker 3: it a wild place.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I think she's out streaming like almost everybody except like
- 27:40Speaker 1: Bad Bunny and Drake Ma.
- 27:41Speaker 3: That's that's that's incredible. You know, whatever she did in
- 27:45Speaker 3: her life to get that blessing for sure. But you know,
- 27:48Speaker 3: just music wise, it's like, wow, this is the era
- 27:51Speaker 3: we end. You know, you gotta accept it. I guess.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I remember at your old house in your studio, you
- 27:56Speaker 1: had like you had the Grammy and then you had
- 28:00Speaker 1: there was like a Michael Jordan photo or something, and
- 28:03Speaker 1: then there was like the canvas of like when Jay
- 28:07Speaker 1: and Kanye I think they were doing in Paris. That
- 28:11Speaker 1: was that was there. Yeah, it's crazy to think like
- 28:16Speaker 1: how much that record like kind of changed the trajectory
- 28:19Speaker 1: of like just hit Boy. Like I remember during that time,
- 28:23Speaker 1: there was like you were you were like one of
- 28:25Speaker 1: the young producers around good music. My guy lifted from
- 28:27Speaker 1: Phoenix and did Mercy, and I remember he was just
- 28:31Speaker 1: telling me all these stories about like being in hotel
- 28:34Speaker 1: rooms like back to back to back with like yourself, everybody.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Everybody was like, what's like one of the craziest like
- 28:44Speaker 1: stories you could tell about, like just those days like
- 28:46Speaker 1: working with Yay, working with the good guys.
- 28:48Speaker 3: It's a lot man. Definitely like that trip I'm sure
- 28:52Speaker 3: Lifted is talking about. We all went to London one
- 28:54Speaker 3: time and everybody was there. Sean pushed two chains, you know,
- 28:59Speaker 3: obviously just being locked in. I remember it was so
- 29:02Speaker 3: crowded in the one of the hotel rooms and everybody
- 29:05Speaker 3: came in because they was working on it was either
- 29:07Speaker 3: Click or Mercy, one of the two. And like Sean
- 29:10Speaker 3: was sitting on the floor with a mic like this,
- 29:12Speaker 3: like recording a hook for one of them joints, and
- 29:14Speaker 3: I just I'll never forget that. Craig a was right here,
- 29:17Speaker 3: Chains was in, everybody was in there, just a room
- 29:19Speaker 3: full of people and they was getting it done by
- 29:21Speaker 3: any means, like right there.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Obviously you and Kanye kind of had what I wouldn't
- 29:27Speaker 1: say falling out, but it definitely not the greatest times
- 29:30Speaker 1: in terms of your guys relationship. Is there any relationship
- 29:34Speaker 1: at all these days?
- 29:36Speaker 3: I mean, I haven't talked to him since we did
- 29:40Speaker 3: the Easy joint with Game Like, but I ain't got
- 29:43Speaker 3: no issues with him.
- 29:44Speaker 1: My uh.
- 29:45Speaker 3: I heard that because I just worked on I don't
- 29:49Speaker 3: want to say who project, but I worked on somebody project.

- 37:16Speaker 1: so I was.
- 37:17Speaker 3: We just went back to uh Pasadena and shot this
- 37:21Speaker 3: Mighty Carlo video with Don Kennedy and I used to play.

- 37:25Speaker 1: was a party at the park. We was just kicking. Yeah.
- 37:27Speaker 3: So my cousin used to be a coach up at
- 37:31Speaker 3: the park we was at. So I started thinking about
- 37:33Speaker 3: my cousin. I was like, damn, this nig used to
- 37:35Speaker 3: direct like big time pornos, like he had did some
- 37:38Speaker 3: shit and he used to buy beats for me. Hes
- 37:39Speaker 3: give me like a thousand dollars. I'm like eighteen making
- 37:42Speaker 3: my first beats. I had only been making beats for
- 37:45Speaker 3: two years at that point, and he started cashing me
- 37:47Speaker 3: out for beats.
- 37:48Speaker 1: He was doing it on a real level, you know
- 37:50Speaker 1: what I mean.
- 37:50Speaker 3: So I just thought about that pinky scene and oh wait,
- 37:53Speaker 3: so you have a beat playing one of your beats
- 37:55Speaker 3: is playing during a pinky scene. Yeah, I just I
- 37:57Speaker 3: had posted on my grimm and they took it.

- 38:19Speaker 1: sounds like a big production, real West Coast porn production.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Do you remember when Snoop dropped his porno? Yeah for sure.
- 38:28Speaker 1: I was like I remember thinking, like, there's no way
- 38:30Speaker 1: Snoop's on here. He wasn't, obviously, but it was just
- 38:33Speaker 1: like the most random porno of all time, and they
- 38:35Speaker 1: they just definitely you know, my cousin who's older than
- 38:39Speaker 1: me bought it because Snoop was on the car. It worked.
- 38:41Speaker 1: They made money, this for sure. Yeah, there's a few
- 38:44Speaker 1: rappers have done that, I think.
- 38:45Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny though, because hip Hop d X. They
- 38:48Speaker 3: made a post and made it seem like I was
- 38:50Speaker 3: actually in the porno. So I had to repost it
- 38:52Speaker 3: and let niggas know, like, nah, they took my ship
- 38:55Speaker 3: and put it in a whole different context.
- 38:57Speaker 1: But it is what it is. It was funny though, Hey,

- 41:09Speaker 1: to be in a different mindset man? That that music again?
- 41:12Speaker 1: Like that?
- 41:13Speaker 3: That was So that was one where it was like
- 41:15Speaker 3: that DNA was already in me because my family played
- 41:17Speaker 3: his music so much, right, and I was just such
- 41:20Speaker 3: a fan of him. I kind of just knew where
- 41:22Speaker 3: I could take it, you know what I mean, and
- 41:23Speaker 3: that he would be open to certain musical choices that
- 41:26Speaker 3: I was making, certain musicality and levels that I'm hitting,
- 41:30Speaker 3: he will understand it. So it kind of was like
- 41:32Speaker 3: the same as the Noah Ship, but just more melodic. Right, Pops,
