  Speaker 2: of like what like I want to say, like kind
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of kicked.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Off like like Snoop as like a label owner.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I felt like you guys were like kind of like
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the first guys he was presenting as like this is
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: like my shit, you know what I'm saying.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was us, and then the Doggies Age
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Doggies Angels.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I remember Doggi's Angels.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: They came up behind us, and then we dropped the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: second one after them. We dropped a dud to trace
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the old fashioned Yeah. I was working on our third one, and.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Then you got locked up.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah damn. We did the movie movie. Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: What do you guys remember about that time, like working
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: on that first album kind of knowing you I mean
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: at the time, I mean obviously your two thousand Snoops
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: fucking you know, on top of the world. The No
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Limit shit's happening, you guys kind of be in the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: face of his label, like what what what do you
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: remember about that era of like you guys working on
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that first album.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: M hm.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Ship you was bringing new gold, y'all. I feel that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I've been I've been diffite and dabbing on verse.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: You know I did with the dog Paan I fucked
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: with uh.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: You know because this was during the No Limit years,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: right right after he had just dropped his No Limit last.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: The Last Meal.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah he came on after that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we had the hood behind us, So
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that really felt good because you know, we represent two
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: different different sets in the hood, so you know, to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: have all home boys come together and start you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: partying together and hanging out together, that was a big.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Accomplishment for us.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, because you know, prior to that, it
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: was you know, just a lot of gun playing, you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: conflict every time you know, the two sides met up anywhere.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So for us to bridge that gap, that was the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: biggest part of the east side of this project.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Was that, like something that you guys knew was important like,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: was Snoop kind of the catalysts to say, hey, we
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: got to bring bring everybody together from Long Beach so
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you guys can move to that like kind of together
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in the same way. Or was it just like y'all
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it just was already.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Moving like that individuals, right, Yeah, you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Know what I'm saying, because Long Beach, you know, you know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: we all either related somehow anyway, you know what I
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: mean a little bit. Yeah, So so it just came
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: about about you know, us as individuals smashing for the
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: city a certain way, being stand up guys.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You know, he probably had the foresight that that would
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: happen by bringing us together. Og me from my hood,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: young homie from his hood.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: You know, just.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: That that divide right there, just bridging that divide was
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: you know, it was probably something he conceived that would
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: bring some healing about to the city, you know, because
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: he always been, you know, pushing about the city.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: He ain't never been no device in person or nothing
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Sure, I wondered so around the year two thousand, I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: trying to put myself in a time machine here. The
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: fact you guys have an album out on Death Throw.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: If you guys would have heard that in two thousand,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: you guys have been like, that's fucking wild. Yeah, because
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: around that time, should drop the Chronic two thousand, right,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: which no, no, he remember, should drop like the weird
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Chronic two thousand.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I don't remember that there was a guy on this
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: remember that?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Do you guys remember there was a dude on that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: album who sounded just like Snoop Dog when he wrapped.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Top Dog, top Dog, he sounded just like the top Dog.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: So I like Sugar drop that album to kind of
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: like stop any momentum that Dre had for the Chronic
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: two thousand and one.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Right, But it didn't.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: But I'm saying like that was like a real like
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: interesting time because at the time, obviously Snoop and Sugar
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: not seeing eye to eye. What was that like just
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: like kind of being around for that kind of because
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that was like a very interesting time. Snoops obviously he
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: decided to go to No Limit. There's this weird Chronic
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: album that drops. Chronical two thousand one is about to drive.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I think it was out in two by two thousand,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I think it did drop. I think it dropped in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: two thousand.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, were ninety nine what was it fuzzy?
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: It was on out there in the streets.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: It was crazy.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: It was on. Yeah, it was on and popping yeah everywhere.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was no telling what was gonna go down
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: when you know, when we interacted with different clicks and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: cruise like that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: But you know, we was pushing with dogs. So it
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: was whatever.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: You guys coming from the street side, and then there's
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: like the street side mixing with the wrap side.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's label ship.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you gotta stand on what you stand on
• 7:05

  Speaker 1: and handled that a different way than you would handle business.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: On the other side.

  Speaker 1: I mean. He felt the song and he went there
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and laid the chorus down. And in the midst of
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: us recording, I think we did like about like three
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: or four songs one day. I think Goldie did four.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I did three because Goldie had he had it was
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a verse. I think he had to do gangster fide,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: so he had to get back on there. So we
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: was just recording one day, just back to back, and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: he slid that track to London and London hit us
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: back with that and it was just go yeah, you.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Know, it was go.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I wonder you guys had Mob Deep on your second project?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: What was it like, because around that time, it's like,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: oh one, so, I mean the East Coast West Cooast
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Ship's kind of over with at that point in time.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Whose idea was it to work with Mob Deep? And
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously Prodigy rest in peace to him, one
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: of the goats.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: I thought that was dope.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: That was Snoop Dogg's idea, and we had did We
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: did a song called dal Sheldon I Kill with with
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Mob Deep when they was doing murder music I did.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I was out there with dog and you know, I
• 12:57

• 12:59
  Speaker 1: what's you're getting on the cut? I'm like, hell, yeah,

• 14:51
  Speaker 1: really he directed songs more or less. He you know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: he was when he laid the hook. You was just
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: expected to follow what he late. He wouldn't come in

• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Or you know?
• 15:04

• 15:10
  Speaker 1: just follow suit because you know, when they.
• 15:12

• 19:11
  Speaker 1: my ear on it, and uh yeah, he went. He

  Speaker 1: went there sonically, you know what I mean. And it's
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a it's a diverse project. It's a mature project, you know.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: And you know Dre is always evolving as a producer,

  Speaker 1: so Dog trusted him to give him the soundscape of
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: what where he's seen him at musically, and I.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Think it worked for sure. I think it worked for
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: both of them. You know. Yo.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Uh Trady, I wanted to ask you because you've had
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: like your You're like, how much fans do you have
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: to come up to you in public that only know
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: you from your interviews because you're like your lad interviews
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: go pretty crazy, right right, So like there's probably people
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: who just come up to you because they saw you
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: like talk online, Like is that like a new thing
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: for you to like have, like this whole other fan
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: base that might not necessarily be hip to the East sides.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I see, I encountered different people here and there would
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: who would say that, like, you know, and I know
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that's where they know me from because you can look
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: at them and tell they don't listen to the East
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: side of the caster wrap.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Well you know you could, you could, you know.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Guess that they probably wouldn't. And you know, it's good,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it's good that people appreciate my perspective on things,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: me being who I am, because you know, I don't
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: try to be politically correct or know it all or
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: nothing like that. You know, I just speak from the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: heart about different things that we discuss. And you know,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: we had we had a pretty good run, you know,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: four or five years sitting up you know, discussing the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: latest and things like that. So I think that helped
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: people get to know my personality, know as outside of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: just music, outside of my bars.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: So it helped. It worked.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not really out there like that
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: in the streets moving around for a lot of people
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to see me and and and approach me. You know,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I really just come out when it's time to make
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: a move or get some dough.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: You also, I follow you, I've been following you for
• 21:20

  Speaker 2: I want to get your guys' take because we have
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: like where I feel like sometimes when we think about
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: West Coast hip hop, we always kind of forget to
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: include Tyler the creator in those conversations. And he's like
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: a part of this like new generation of kids who
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: grew up in LA but don't necessarily sound like traditional
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: West Coast gangster rap. I just wonder, like, what are
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: your guys take on a guy like Tyler who's fuck man.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: When it's all said and done, he you know, he
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: might be on that Mount Rushmore next to like Snoop
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: and Cube and those guys, Like, what do you guys
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: think about Tyler? Like, are you guys vans? You guys ever?
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Like you know, you know, not folks would.

• 26:03
  Speaker 1: out there.

  Speaker 4: You know.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm not really regional in my taste of music.

• 26:15
  Speaker 1: as being into Tyler Creator as an artist, I'm very
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: aware of who he is, but his music. I haven't
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: locked in on him as an artist to be able
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: to even critique, right, you know that. Yeah, I'm gonna
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: be honest. You know, I ain't gonna sit there and
