• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it was very much like it felt like y'all just
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: recorded this shit. And while listening to the album, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: got I got like a literal emotional because I was like, damn,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: like this is this is probably the last of the records, right, Like.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, for me, I would say yeah, because you
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But Prodigy has he recorded a lot, recorded.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: A lot, you know what I mean.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But you know, for you, man, what was the like emotionally,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: what was it like crafting this album? Because it does
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: like I said, it sounds so cohesive. It sounds like
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: everything was cut like you know, it's such a great project.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: What was it like for you just emotionally just going
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: back to mob deep mode without he being here.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for me, it was a bittersweet, you know what
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I mean. It was like it was something that I
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: wanted to do for a long time, you know what
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I mean. But yeah, you gotta let the grieving part breathe, right,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: But then at some point it's like you want to
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: do something to you know, send your comrade off, like
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: with twenty one gun salute, you know what I mean,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: with a project, you know what I mean, because he deserves.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: That, you understand what I'm saying. So it was a
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: bittersweet because these moments in.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: The album where I'm hearing him say things that are
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: like Primini you know what I'm saying, And it's.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Like, shit, fucked me up, you know what i mean.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure it wasn't planned that way, but that's
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: how it felt, and it kind of evoked those emotions.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Out of me. What about for you, Al, because I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: know you and p were so locked in. Yeah, you
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: know some I think some of his best workers, your
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: guys's two projects together. But like, what was that like
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: going back in that place I'm sure getting those vocals
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: pulled up, like like being a part of the creation.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Of this and shit was like watching your life flash
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: in front of your eyes.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: It was like spiritual, you know, because you know, like
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: my most pride possession is like sometimes I think, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: if the house, the studio burns on fire, like what
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: do you I grabbed the hard drives and the footage
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: because we filmed a lot and it's like, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: he was like a prophet and we knew that when
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: he was here too. We used to call him science
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: like he was so ahead on so many things. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: when we go back and listen to these records and
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: like look at the footage, it's just like it reaffirms it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Like we knew when he was here, but now when
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: you look at it and you hear it, you're like
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: you realize his value and like what's missing, you know
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like the void of peep, his the
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: way he thought, his spirit, his mentality, that's what made mobdy,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like, and it's like going
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: back and us all getting back together. That's to me,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: on a person, on a spiritual level, it means everything
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: because I wouldn't be Nobody would know me if it
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: wasn't one hundred percent man, So you know that's everything
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: for me, one hundred percent.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You guys getting together and crafting thiss like, hey, we
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: got some vocals here, maybe they don't fit on the beat.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: They were cut, Like, can you kind of walk me
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: through what that's like, because you always hear like when
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you have to put together in an album when someone's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: not there, it's very much like it's got to be
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a cohesive process between y'all, but it also has to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: be like y'all got to make sure it feels good,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: like what was that? What you guys are getting verses
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: from different places, different hard drives coming together? Are the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: song ideas? Are you pretty much taking what he's talking
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: about and rolling with that. I think of a record
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like taj Mahal, Yeah, that's like a storytelling record.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean, you know Al was in possession
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: of that. He had that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: But as I was watching Ol, you know, fuck around
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: with prodigies vocals. He made this shit look so easy,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: you understand what I'm saying. But at the same time,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I saw him doing surgery, you know what I mean.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So I was coming.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: With with what I was doing, you know what I'm
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: saying with some of these vocals, But watching Al, like
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the surgery that he was doing, it was like it's magic.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Noah for sure for you, Like I'm sure, Al, you
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: probably have insane amount because you were really Like I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: feel like when it came to U and P, that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: was like we had a lot, You had a lot.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, still do, but yeah, I mean endless,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: endless amounts of stuff. And you know when it came
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: time to make the record, I mean, you know, we
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: decided we were going to make a new Mob Deep record,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: and we all came together and it was like when
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: it was trying to make records, obviously what P has
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: laid down is what we had to work with.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So he was really the leader of this album. The
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: more I think about.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: It, because it was like we had to sit and
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: listen to what he was talking about, which would make
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: sense honestly, and then.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: We would sit and have you know, this dude is
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a wizard with it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: So it was like in two seconds we would sit
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: with it and be like I and he would compliment it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Or it was some records that they already had recorded,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: so I think it's a mixture of stuff, but I
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: feel like everything has never been released and it feels
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: so fresh.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It feels cohesive too, which is really hard to do.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've rocked on so many you know, so
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: many campaigns that it was like and every time I
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: knew my role was to accent you know what I mean,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: because have is the sound of mob deep iced to
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: sit and listening to and making beats in the studio
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: and just be mind blown, Like I learned a lot
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: of drum patterns and like we would super inspire each other,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So it was like my
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: role every time, even from the Chris Lightly Days Rest
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: in Peace, he used to be like Havels doing the record,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: bringing al a couple joints, maybe get one or two
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: more beats from someone else.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: But that was really the formula.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: So when it came down to do this, we stuck
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: to the formula, like have you making the bones and
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: meat and potatoes. I'll bring a couple of spices and
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: then our minds together working on the record was what
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: I think made it cohesive.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, we gott to stop the interview to tell you
• 8:15

  Speaker 1: back to the interview for you have. I'm curious, man,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you've seen this guy since he was a nobody, and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: now he's one of the most prolific hip hop producers
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of all time. I just had this conversation. I think
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he's this is just my personal opinion, my personal I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: don't even think it's an argument that he's a top
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: five producer of all time at this point, right, I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: feel like we're in the middle of one of the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: most legendary runs we've ever seen a producer beyond twenty
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: twenty five alone put it in the rafters, right, But
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: what is it like seeing this guy just turn into
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the alchemist?
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Okay? So I called Alchemists a couple of days ago.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I spoke to him on the phone and I'm like, Yo,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: do you realize like what you're doing, Like do you
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: feel it? Because sometimes when you're doing something you don't
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: really you in it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: You live in it, so you know, you know what
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, You're like, oh, okay, whatever, you know what
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I mean. He acknowledges that, but I acknowledge it as well.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: But to see it from to go from a guy
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: that I just met living in Soulho with a drum
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: machine in his crib, just banging out these dope ass
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: beats to now being at the forefront of a lot
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: of dope project it's just coming out and his name
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: just being like Alchemist, Alchemist, Alchemists, like he's like the
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: go to guy, like people that he probably don't even
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: speak to, is like leaving bread crumb tails like I
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: would have worked with Alba.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: To see that.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: It's like, it's just like it was like me watching Prodigy,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like transform from Juvenile Hell
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: to the infamous album. You know what I'm saying, It's
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: like watching you know, out from you know, late nineties
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: to now. It's like if I wasn't close to it,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't even fucking believe it. I'd be like, oh shit,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: But I seeing him work, so you know what I mean.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: You know what I appreciate too. I was like right now,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: like I feel like you could track your entire career
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and like, sonically, obviously there's alchemists like signature shit, but
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I feel like sonically you're you, Like you continue to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: just evolve, Like like I feel like first Infantry don't
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: sound like anything that's come out this year production wise,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Like it's like a crazy journey with music. Have thos.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: It's like you're always kind of trying to like we
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: do this for ourselves first. I'll say, like, I know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: I have to say the same thing, like we love it,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: you know, like like if I make a good beat
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: and I'm excited, I might just text it to him
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: or send him a clip of it while I'm making it. Right,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: we do this because we love it, you know. And
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I think that's the thing that always been for me,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Like I need to stimulate myself first, right, So as
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: you're creating over the years, certain things you move on
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: and it maybe I could even recognize that it was
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: a style at a certain time that might.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Have peaked, so to speak.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: But it's like as artists, we always find different things
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: that's gonna inspire us. So I'm always trying to like
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: add another tool on my belt, you know what I'm saying, Like, Okay,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I'm paying attention to more sonics now, or I'm adding
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: this or that or whatever it is that makes you
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: continue the journey of what we're doing. And I feel like,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: I know personal, like I could hook up a beat
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: better than I could in the late nineties. All the
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: beats I'm doing now better or worse is for everyone
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: else to decide, But I know confidently I'm going in
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: the path for I'm still having fun with it and
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I feel like I could get better still because it's
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: you know, you want to I feel like doing this
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: forever and then dying, it's better than going like this
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: and then follow Yeah, I think we could just keep
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: rising forever. I might be out of my mind, but
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: that's just where I'm at with it. So you know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: it's a blessing. And you know, first of all, like
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: for him to say those good things about me that
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: that means everything to me, or Premiere or the people
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I love you about to go on to premiere like
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: this guy's fucking tours right now. But just to get
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: to get the love from the people who you respect,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: it means everything. And you know, like like I said,
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: I could, I owe so much to have and the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: mom so now that in the midst of all of this,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: what better could I do than to take all the
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: light and be like Mob Deep, the best rap group
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: of all time. This is why y'all know me and
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: really like stamp the world with the project we got right.

  Speaker 1: To be like letting things go many yeah, you know, because.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: They about babies, but you know, it's trying to let
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: them grow some wings.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent. You mentioned Juvenile Hell a little bit earlier.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people always maybe associate The
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Infamous as your first album, but it was jun Hell.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Can you kind of walk me through what it was
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: like putting out that first album. It's obviously an underappreciated album,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the crazy iconic album cover, and then kind of transitioning
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: from that to in my opinion, one of the greatest
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: hip hop albums of all time, you know, and and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the growth that was about two year process, right, the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: growth between those two albums is insane.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you got to grow up fast and when
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: you fucking with this industry, you know what I mean,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: It's like boom, we made the Juvenile.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Hell, we was young.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I wasn't fully into my production bag, but you know
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I tried on a couple of tracks, you know, stomp them, mouth,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: hold on the floord, hit from the Back. It's like
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: that is the like you know, intro to the Mob
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Deep infamous album, if you will, you know what I'm saying,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: that's like insight into it, like what would be to come?
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Like right, nervous a little bit whatever, get to Loud Records.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Steve Rifkin, he said, Yo, do whatever the fuck you
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: want to do. That's even more nervous, Like you.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Know what I mean, no direction you want saying, do
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: whatever you want.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: It's like you're begging to do another album, right, Okay,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: do what you want.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: So we want to hear It's like okay, now it's
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: like you get what you want, and it's like what
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: do you do? What do you do? And what do
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: you do?
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Is you kind of like tune out, you tune out,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: you make the album, but you definitely do have other
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: material out there that set the ball, and that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Would be illmatic. So it's like and then Wu Tang Clan.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: So you like you look at.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: The fantastic chambers. Yeah, what a climate? What a climate?
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: And that's even scarier, Like you know what I say,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: It just keeps getting scary about a minute, you know
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: what I mean? But hey, when you're young, you have
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that invincible gene and you're gonna do it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: What were the bones that were kind of set, Like
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the first couple of joints that you guys worked on
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: for Infamous where you were like, Okay, this is this
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: is kind of what we're on right now.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Like I would have to say Shook Ones and Trife
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Life Fire.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: So those like Shook Ones was early in the recording.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Process, was like one of the first ones. Ye was
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: that the demo that was just a demo that was.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: On you ever heard that one? I heard?
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: That's when you could really hear what was about to happen,
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Like I feel when you hear that, it's like that
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: was that was the era of the filter.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: So you guys get that, you guys figure that out
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: and you're like okay, because I feel like you know,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a song like Shook Ones is obviously you're I mean,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: it's it's one of the most iconic songs ever.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And then when we think about like, I don't know
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: if anyone's rapped over another, Like when it comes to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: people who like freestyle over records, it's probably shook Ones
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and who shot you like in terms of you know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the go to like throwing a beat let's rap, but
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: that beat man is so sinister, it's so like, did
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you have any idea, like when you first cooked that
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: up and you playing for p what's his reaction? Because
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that is one of those.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: That's what you know, this is the story out there.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: But they like, oh, we had to stop them from
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: it racing the track because I probably would have just
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: turned it off.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Nobody was there. They came up stairs and he's like,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: what's this. I was like, oh, you know, some track
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: got made. I'm about to you know, resett because you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: because you were fucking with it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: You didn't love it while you were making it here.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Because you know, the confidence level wasn't it you know
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: And you know, but that was the time when when
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: the crew came around and said, oh yo, this is
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: dope when a crew was an element to your tracks,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: but unseen right because they did they.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Drinking forties and you around that that that vibe is there,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: but you know it was it was dope. Like they
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: came in the room, Prodigy came like, nah, no, keep
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: that track.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: And when the beats on and he's in the booth,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: is the first thing he because I'm sure he's fucking
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: around it is the first thing he says as to
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: all the kills on one hundred dollars bills? Is that
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: like the first right? Like the ad libs, the ad libs.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And he didn't plan it, he didn't write it down.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sure it just popped in his head right then
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: and there, you know, like and that's who he was
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: like like you know what I mean, just coming up
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: with just you know, ad libs, just this out of this.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: World for you man. Did you guys understand like how
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: big of a deal it was, because you said we
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: were talking about climate right and at that time, Purple
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Tape Illmatic Wu Tang. But I feel like I for
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: an Eye is like one of those records that is
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: like just such a time piece to an era, and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: it kind of is like you know, you could go
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: back and there was a lot of posse cuts back then,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: but you know, some of them are like hitting miss
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Like to me, this was like a record where you
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: got like four of the greatest of all time, like
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: at their peak and like delivering at their peak. It's
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: kind of like the seventy two and ten Chicago Bulls season, right,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Like who got on the record first? Was it Ray?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Was it Nas?
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Like, oh, it was actually it was Prodigy, Well obviously
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: because he set it off with the chorus. Yeah, I
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: mean he already had did the chorus before Ray and
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Nas even got to the studio, so I think they
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: was familiar with the chorus and everything like that. And
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: they came in and I could tell by the way
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: they was looking and by the way.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: They was pete in the chorus that this ship must
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: be fire.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: So they came into the three together.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Ry and Nas yeah, came in like what's that night?
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Like you know, at the time, it's.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Like you can't really believe you got Nas in the
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: fucking studio, you know what I mean?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: And then let alone Ray Kwan from like you know.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I mean at the time, like you said, you guys
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: are coming off with juvenile. Hell, the infamous isn't made yet.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: The fact you guys got those guys there, that's a
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: big deal for you.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: That's how powerful Shook Ones was, right right, That's how
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: powerful that song was.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Like, so the record was out while you were finishing, Yes.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: So that record heat heating up the streets.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it came out in ninety four. So Shook
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Ones made them go, oh shit.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Let's go see what I have got over there? What
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: else you got?
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So I got lucky, you
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: So you know what I mean, they had they because
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: you know, those guys don't fucking rap with just anybody,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, even if you're from their neighborhood,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: it don't matter, Like they're not going to do a
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: song with you.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: So the fact that they did, you know what I mean,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: just was the testament.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I think my favorite beat on the album is give
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: up the Goods.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Those drums are too crazy too, right, Yeah, he's a
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: fucking drum master, Jesus man.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I learned from him. Yeah.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: That fucked all of us up back then, just trying
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: to figure out how he was programming those drums even
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: in programming on one Love.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I think that was I think this was a DMX
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: freestyle or something over give up the goods? Am I tripping?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I think I think I think there was something with
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: DMX over because's when I first heard the beating and
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I went back when I was like, do you understand
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I was born in eighty seven, so this I eighty seven?
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Young man? He's a young man.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, man, we we aged like milk us whites

• 22:41
  Speaker 4: best snare of all time, oh my god. Or to

  Speaker 1: when we think about Illmatic, like ill Maadic, as big
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: as it was, was like kind of underground, like it
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't like the biggest commercial success at the time, like
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I think it just went platinum, which is crazy, Like recently,
• 24:21

  Speaker 1: like like like you guys make the infamous. It's a
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: classic four and a half mics and a source should
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: have been five, but there were some amazing albums. Ago
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: four and a half. Is the pressure on for Hell
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: on Earth?
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Hell? Fucking yeah. The press was super orange. It was
• 24:59

  Speaker 2: Fuck? It just make it more grimy? Yeah, just get
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: more darka more grimy.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Because you definitely definitely was a darker and grimier album
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Those Beach on Hell and.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: If you go back to him right now or like
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Insane even up Fast, Yeah, you were on I don't
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: know what you were on at that time. It's like, okay,
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: just go Darka.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I always wondered because I talked to Steve about this.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: He said that because he was typed with Tupac. He said,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Tupac came up to him at some party in La.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: It's backed him in the back of the head and
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: he's like, yo, were good, And he was like, yeah, yeah,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: it's good. The little kids from Queens, It's all good.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: It's a rap shit what y'all did. Obviously, you know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I think Drop a Gem on Him is one of
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the more slept on records, not even in terms of
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: like it being like a quote unquote like a part
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: of a beef history, but just as a joint like
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: track number two, that's a strong track number two. Were
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: you guys at all, because back then, I feel like
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: in the nineties we didn't have Instagram, we didn't have
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: any of this shit. Were you, like, was anybody hesitant
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: about the Tupac line being on the album? Or were
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: you guys like fuck it, let it fly? No?
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, look, man, we're from Queensbvigas. We ain't
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: give a fuck, we care. We was just like we
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: hit for the smoke, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, but.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: We was ready for it. We was ready for war
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: because he came at us.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he came at us, So we was like no,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I mean this hip hop is hip hop for sure.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy too because if you think back
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: like that era, I always think, what would it be
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: like if we had the Tupac East Coast Beef in
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five with Instagram? It probably wouldn't be that
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: many records getting made. It would be like It's like
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: like I just saw, Yeah, I just saw a couple
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of artists like going back and forth on Twitter, and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: it was just like Jesus, like, can't y'all make some joints?
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: This album man infinite?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: For you? What was you know?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: What was the record that you I want to eat
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you guys to answer this, but just the record that
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: each of you felt like felt the best in terms
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: of like this is because I know some like you
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: guys had to put some stuff together. Were there a
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: lot of joints that you guys had already started working
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: on before he passed or I.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Don't remember working on any joints before he passed, But.

• 27:47
  Speaker 3: gonna say to Mahall. When he sent me that, he
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: sounded excited, you know what I mean.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: He was like, Yo, and it's a time because I
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: don't think that tos Ma Hall exists anymore, right, didn't
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: they knock that motherfucker down?
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I agree. The Talks Hall record is crazy.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: So yeah, when he sent me that, and he sent it,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: he was like, yo, you know, drop a verse to
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: this shit, Like I kind of was stuck, like but
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: I knew that I had to.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Really rise to the occasion, you know what I mean.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: It's like the fuck, this is what we do. And
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I finished it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: We added he added the finish and touches it to it.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: So when I listened to it, and I was like, damn,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: this is crazy, Like you know, like I could listen
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: to it a hundred times streak.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you, it's my favorite.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Like when I leave here, I'm going the car and
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I'm really literally just one hundred times streak.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: What about you?
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: And for me, it was against the world that one
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: really hit me like because we made that late. He
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: made that late in the making of the record. He
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: sent it to me and it blew my mind because
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: it just gave me that feeling. I definitely got emotional
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: when I heard it, just what he's talking about and
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: his spirit, you know what I mean.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: It was in it, like damn.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: It reminded me of the tours we used to do,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: and it was just like, why you know, I wanted
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: to close the album out with that.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: That was my idea. It was like, if we could
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: hold this ace in the hole and make it the
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: last song. But it was so good.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: I felt like that feeling was the first thing people
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: needed to hear in my opinion, because it just like
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: it gave you that feeling of like.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Health, wealth, happiness. It's that feeling that you know.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: He had a lot of different bags he went into,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: but this was like the one that made all of
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: us feel like we were down with the illest crew
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: in the world, everybody, all the whole crew. That's what
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: mab Deep always did. Made us feel like we are
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: affiliated with the best shit. He used to always like say,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: like our throwaways better than people's you know shit. They
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: worked the hard he was like super confident in that record.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: It just it hit me where I was like, wow,
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: this that beat was just like perfect.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: It was like wow, I was wondering for you out
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: because I think of like Return of the Mac and
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Albert Einstein is like two real high points and prodigyce
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: careers at MC. Because I feel like, I want to say,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: didn't Albert Einstein come out the same day as Jesus
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: mac Miller and J Cole You would have a better
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: memory for this. So Jesus mac Miller watching a movie
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: with the sound with the sound off and H Warren
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Center by J. Cole and Albert Einstein came out on
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the same day about all four of them on History
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: History crazy crazy day. But for you, man, like those
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: are I feel like in terms of like his solo
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: shit obviously H and I Sees amazing, as I mean,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I mean shit H and I See is a classic too,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: But like those are two very underrated projects. Like which
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: one of those two projects do you like revisit the most?
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Which between Albert Einstein and Return of the Mac.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: I mean Return to the Mac was the first time
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: that somebody really like we were like at that point,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: it was about ninety percent like me, and if he
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: were hanging around, he was coming buy the crib a lot.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: And at that point, when I say ninety percent ninety
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: percent of the beats, if I was like I got
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: an idea or I got a beat, he was like yeah,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: in ten percent.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Of the time he might be like, I don't know,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: let's find something else.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: And when we started working on that, he kind of
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: like just was that was the first time somebody kind
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: of just trusted me to put together. I feel like
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: that was the first record that started to run them on.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Now and some might say COVID Coop Currency because it
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: was around the same time, but oh yeah, that Turn
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: of the Mac was the one that I feel like
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: allowed me to like put a record together when he
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: came with the concept and I was like, all right,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: we're going to do more black sportations like.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeap.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: That was the first time me and Freddie but yeah,
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, and of course Albert Einstein was was a blessing.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: I just feel lucky to be able to have mane
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: these records with pe with mob Deep, like again, this
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: is anybody who messes with me, like you know, nowadays,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: I have fans who know me from earl or. And
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: it's crazy because once they get, if they start, once
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: they find like the mob, that's the root of the tree.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? When you heard keep it Thorough?
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Were you jealous that you didn't make that beat? Of
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: course that's one of the course I'm not gonna my favorite. Ever.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: That beat is fucking ridiculous. I'm like, yo, who the
• 32:10

  Speaker 1: like competition, like like you know, steel sharp and steel.

  Speaker 1: So I can only imagine yeah, because I feel like
• 34:54

  Speaker 3: We definitely got to show up. But I just was
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: sticking to the script, like I wasn't letting anything. I
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: wasn't letting that jay Z should get in my head, right,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: you know. For me, I didn't let it get in
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: my head. I just was like I knew the mission,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, So I just kind of
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: stay focused a bit, you know, because if I would
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: have let it get to me, I think I would
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: have stumbled, and you know, fumbled. But I think that
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: was a solid project, the Infamy album. You know, we
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: got some Icley brother shit.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: On there, you know what I mean. It was crazy,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: you know, Scott's thoughts just coming in the fucking studio.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: That was like a great mixture of like you guys,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: like going a little commercial with some of the radio records,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: but also not deviating from the sound.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we couldn't.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: We couldn't really deviate because you know, our fans would
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: have killed us, you know what I mean, So we couldn't.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Really travel too far fact.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: And then we came back with America's Nightmare, Don't forget,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: speaking of some of the best spats ever.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: I felt like we were really in our bag on
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: that one, like it connected America's Nightmary was like, Okay,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: that's when we had what got It Twisted?
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Yep, Win Lose, Lose and got It Jado. Yeah, they
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: had bangers on there. Man, what was the Kanye one
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: on there? Then it was slept on Slept we had.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: That was a great record, you know what I mean?
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: That ship was crazy? Yeah? How was that like for you?
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Uh at that point that had been the most production
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: you had handled.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: On a I do remember official I was trying to
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: stash Winter Lose. I remember that I had it because
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: I got I got them on it separately and they
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: were finishing the record. That was the record we did
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: in my crib because we do a lot of stuff,
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: but I had that one and they forgot about it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, perfect, I'm gonna put Jada
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Kissing the House on this and yeah, and then having
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: p K to my crib right around the end of
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the ape, he was.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Like, what's that joint we got in the computer again?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, I got it. I couldn't
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: stash it, but I tried. But that was Winter Lose
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: is still one of my favorites.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: And and that's when in my mind, and to me
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: at least, and I'm showing Pea's mind. That's when I
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: was becoming like I would go to guy well he
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: trusted them with singles.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: When you hear that was on there to yeah, well
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I got it. I feel like got it twisted Like
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: it was a pretty big record too, Like I remember
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: hearing that show on the radio and Phoenix.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: And Ship like that was the video.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: It was like I was inspired by it was the
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: remix twisted, yeah, because you know the twist got a
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: twisted twisted.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: But I was inspired by Quiet Storm with that beat
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: because I remember the day we made it. They were
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: both at the crib and we were going science because
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: that was Ni goes. Why you keep saying that, I'm like,
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: you don't remember that.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Old record was crazy.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: We went and got the record and I tried to
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: chop it up, but the rhythm of it was like
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: a weird bounce.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: So that's when we had to try the.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Trinity.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: So I had to rack man Trinity and I just
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: wade demoed it out and and did the drums simple
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: he laid the song. I remember, I was like, I
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: like it, but we may have like finessa drums, like
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: do more to the drums, And the next day he
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: called me, was like, nah, it's good.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: It's just like that ship.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. You know what song I didn't mind
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: was the Little John record wasn't bad on was.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Felt like we was reaching.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Kid. It was still hard. It was hard, bro right
• 38:29

• 38:49
  Speaker 1: you guys kind of get into this free agency era

• 39:05
  Speaker 4: That was right before America's Nightmare. That was in between
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: for me and America's Nightmare. It was free agents for
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: a minute and it was just free agency.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: No, that was no, that was before blood money.

  Speaker 4: Remember we had the meetings and they wanted to use
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: backwards because it was already out.

• 41:05
  Speaker 1: like kind of being around that era of g because
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: gud it, man, I don't think people understand like Dog

  Speaker 1: Echo had a whole geu and it clothing that had
• 41:18

  Speaker 1: that you all dropped. I thought I thought that album
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: was dope, man. I thought Blood Money was super dope.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: That Pearly Gates record was fucking crazy. With fifty, it
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: was super crazy record. But what was that like? Because
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I can only assume like going into that
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: situation probably, I mean, the buzz was insane, the eyes
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: on you guys are insane working on that album. What
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: was that process like and how did y'all feel like
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: like just kind of in that space, you.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Know, working on an album was fun.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: You know, Fifty would send us mad records, We'll do
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: the records. It was a little different than how we
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: did records before, you know what I mean, like with
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: me kind of like producing most of the records.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I think you only had one beat on there, huh.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: I forgot it was the one with.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: The fifty the wild style joint Ship was like I
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: think that was like one of the best records on
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: I really liked that.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: I remember that like before right before he had hit
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: up the mall, we were kind of in between figuring
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: it out, like we always sit up and go it
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: was the next move. We were kind of one of
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: those phases. And it was like a week or two
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: of time where they got the call and it was
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: so crazy. Around that same time I got the call
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: from Paul to the m's DJ, and I swear it
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: was like a month's.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Time almost.
• 42:40
  Speaker 7: From that sitting there we were on tour and I
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: would only see them every now and then because I
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: went and there were fifty and we were like that
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: earrow was insane, like taper hotels.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: We were staying. Fifty had like seventy five people on
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: tour with him, like just the crew. You know what
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I'm saying.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: It was it was just a trip because it happened
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: so fast and we didn't see that coming, and it
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: was like we're still family.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: But now I'm seeing them just for a minute because
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: they got to go to the stage. So much excitement too,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: because like I just ammember in my head thinking like Yo,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: m OP and Mob Deep, what the fuck? Those shows
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: were nuts too? Man, them show? That show was crazy.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Did you ever talk about doing a fucking collab project?
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: MP?
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: And Mom d Yes, I don't know. That would have
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: been fucking nuts. I don't know. I guess that, but
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: the collap projects weren't really a thing like that back then.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: It wasn't. It wasn't, but we should have, you know
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: what I mean. MP is like one of my favorite groups.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: I wondered mine too, mine too, I wonder I always
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: see the clips giving it up to you as the
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: best hip hop Drew of all time. They're on the
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: new album and they're on this crazy run and obviously
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, pushing the Clips are in rare
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: form and rare when we talk about just hip hop history.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: But I'm just curious for you, man, like how dope
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: is it to get them on a project with p
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: and at the same time, like, I'm just curious as
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: somebody who's a part of one of the greatest hip
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: hop dudes of all time? What are your thoughts just
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: on on what's going with the Clips right now? This
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: run they're on, this is the.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Type of shit that I love to see, you know
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like I'm always rooting for you know
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying my colleagues, You know what i mean.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: So to speak whatever, like the Clips, I'm a fan
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: of the Clips, you know what I'm saying. They when
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: they first came out up until now, super fan never
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: even looked at them as like competition, but just as
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: somebody that complimented the hip hop.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Game, you understand what I'm saying.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: So to see them getting the flowers that they getting
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: right now and to run this legendary run that they own,
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: because you know, hip hop is in a weird space right.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Now, you know what I'm saying. So for them to
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: come and bless us with that album, it's like it's
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: like a gift. So it's really dope to see. And
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know they was coming with a fucking
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: album by the time we had the feature from them,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: So they didn't tell me. Really, they didn't tell me that.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: They just was like, I asked them to get on it,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: and they before they said yes, they sent me back
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: the verses.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: You understand what I'm saying.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: So, so you had sent that before.
• 45:18

• 45:20
  Speaker 1: That's dope.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't know they was coming with it.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: They feel like a lot of people are tapping it
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: with the clips right now. I'm like, well, of course
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: you would, because they got the hottest hour of the year, right.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: But but I knew they was doing something special because
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Pusher had hit me. He said, Yo, have I need
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: the reel for G O D Part three?
• 45:34

• 45:40
  Speaker 1: That's a wild request, yo, I'll tell you.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: He asked me for the real and I was like, damn,
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: I I could get my hands on it, said you
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: still have that, you know, Sony Sony is being you know,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: they hogging.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: The real So did they did they want to do
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: something over that?
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: That's what it sounded like.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure that they do have something in the
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: chamber that got something do a god that didn't end
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: up on the album, but.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: They got a surprise attack for everybody.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Did you ask them, like, yo, did you ever end up?
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't ask some shit, damn. I just wanted to
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: be surprised like everybody else. I didn't ask no questions.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: I just was looking for the real I.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Am curious, man, you know, I feel like was murder
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: music the five mic album? Am I tripping?
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if we ever got five mics
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: at all?
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like I don't know. I just remember every
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: time i'd opened the source. I remember when the Quiet Storm.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Remember they used to have the quote hip hop quotables,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: and I remember P's verse for Quiet Storm was one
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: of the quotables. And that's how I like memorize the
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: fucking all of the lyrics, because I was able to
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: read it out of the source. But I'm curious. That's
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: obviously one of the most legendary remixes of all time.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: It's now become like little Kim's become a meme because
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: of the dance she does before she does her verse
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: for Quiet Storm. I think that is up there for
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest Prodigy verses of all time on
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: that record. But when the remix happens, are y'all like like, like,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: are you in the studio with Kim when she cuts that?
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Like talk to me about that?
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember walking into the studio and she was
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: there with her pad and the pad and I guess
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: she must have been finished with Diverse already, you know
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: what I mean, and she laid the verse. I was
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: on cloud fucking nine, she I mean, man, iconic.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like as amazing as that song was, Like
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: the remix just put it into this like right forever
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: sphere where always will be a thing, right. And you
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: didn't even have to change the beat, you know what
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, because back then a lot of remixes had
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: different beats, right.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: And we just kept the beat and let us sing
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: the chorus and are you a fly on the wall
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: at this point?
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Obviously you that session.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: I wasn't there, but I remember coming back the day
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: after and then like yeah, we put Kim on it.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: I knew the record obviously, and it was like, oh
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: that that took it to the platinum. You know.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: That was next thing to a limb Biscuit. We were
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: doing thirty thousand people in arenas opening from limp Biscuit.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I wonder you making murder music? You had two beats
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: on murder music? Yeah, that was my entry basically, say
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: that had to be like you're graduating from high school, dog,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: like you made it. You're kidding me.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: I still can't believe it to this day, Like you
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, how it all happened, because everything
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: happened from there. But I was so in the element,
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: like when because at first when I was coming over there,
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: like you know, I first linked up with Godfather, Nitty
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: and Twin and Gotti, and then they were telling me,
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: you know, you gotta mering, you know, just the mob,
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: you know. So they would bring me over to the studio,
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: but like Ha would be there one day, or Pete
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: would be there, and I had this one dat and
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: kept playing them joints and they kept they both liked
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: the same beat, which was the realist coolie rap it was.
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: And then I'll never forget when the Dave Pete called
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: me said come to the studio with.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: That beat.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I knew what be he was talking about. I showed
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: up and the cool g rapp was sitting there. Oh,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: so you got to watch cologie rap rap on your.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: I witnessed that, and I didn't call I always tell people.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: I didn't call my manager. I didn't call a lawyer,
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: I didn't nothing. I packed up my ASR ten and
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: the thing was like it's big of a worse of
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: a couch, you know what I'm saying. I packed it
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: up and brought it in there, told the engineer that beat,
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: plug it up, and I just sat back and I
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: watched history happen, and it was like, you know, when
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: you're doing it, you never know. I didn't know because
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: I was even insecure about the beat because it was
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: just a loop. It's not technically a fancy beat, but
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: look how it stood the test of time. And it
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: was like, I just feel like, sometimes you got to
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: get out of the way, you know. And I knew
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: somehow to get out of the way of like the
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: power of the gods of this music, to just get
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: out of the way and let the shit happen, and
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: it's not about your beat. It's not about if you
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: could hook a beat up better. And now I look back, like, damn,
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: look what that record did. Like that verse when he
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: went into booth, we were all rain melted.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: It's insane. He wrote it on the spot and that's
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: why he went first.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: It was crazy, rat Oh let me actually, Christ because
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: I always was wondering this because I was dead for
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: the such an either when p and g rap did
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: the chorus?
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Did they did? They write it together together? They wrote
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: it together?
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Crazy, They wrote it together. And I remember that you
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: came and you have rolled like you. I think you
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: had three or four verses. You were beating yourself up
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: because he knew he was there, brought it home.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: What you mean that was a classic? Was that?
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Was that something that would be common for you where
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: you would like come in and hear a song and
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: be like, fuck I got that was a hang with
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: That's all the time. That's about telling because the greatest
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: rounds of all time to it, you're like you're a legend.
• 50:47

• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen how he writes? Seen his handwriting
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: it is that's why he's so great. It's like, how ridiculous.
• 51:25

  Speaker 1: it flows like calligraphy.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: You look at that ship like yo, he's just And
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: I've sat and watched him make a beat, picked a
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: pin up and just write it and relate the verse
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: in the chorus so many times that it was just
• 51:43
