• 1:17
  They had that shit lit. Yo, Mexico was in the building. So he went to go see Fuerza Regida, which is like, I don't know how to describe it. Like an urban Mexican banda, right? Like the urban style. The crowd was mad young, mad hip and everything. wasn't like, you old school, like old people, none of that. It very hip. And then. They had a dope show and the dope shit about their show was they almost took a bite out of the Back to the Future movie, right? And they got into their Jeep, like a Bronco or some shit. And then they went back into time. And they went back into time from when they first signed their record deal and then they played the hits from that era, like in 2018 or some shit. And then they went to the future a little bit and then... When your man 50 cent was hot and that 50 cent came out.
• 2:15
  Yeah, he came out. Yeah, yeah It makes me feel Queens Why were you even at this show, Pop, like to begin with? Dynamiq. It's very specific one of our Heavy Hitters. His name is DJ Dynamiq.
• 2:31
  He's from San Diego Yeah, he hasn't I ain't seen him in a while and he's like, yo Pop, I'm pulling up.
• 2:35
  What are you doing? I'll see you I got I'm opening up for this Mexican band.
• 2:40
  didn't know who they were. I told my wife, she said, oh, I'm with it. I know who they are.
• 2:44
  They're big. They're big. They're huge. And when I heard the music, I said, oh, shit.
• 2:48
  You know, if you if you don't understand the music, whatever, it's almost like like Peso Plomo or whatever. Peso Pluma. Yeah, Peso Pluma.
• 2:53
  It's like that vibe. You know what mean? But it was energetic. It was fire. The light show was dope. It was really fire. You know what's cool about that? You know, that's that's like corridos. Like, you know, back in the days when I was growing up, very young. bachata to me was like, oh, that's corny, that's for the older people. But this is like bachata became cool again when, I'm assuming, Aventura and Romeo Santos, they made it young and hip.
• 3:20
  You know what I'm saying? So for these guys, I think it feels like the same thing. They made that whole corrido sound young and hip to the young wave. And they embraced it crazy. And they talking cartel talk and drug talk. And you know, so the young wave now, like this is, you know. Their thing. Their thing, exactly.
• 3:45
  And these guys just, forget it, they Oh, it's kinda hot. I ain't gonna front, how's Dynamiq?
• 3:50
  And they brought 50 Cent out, how was that?
• 3:50
  You know, they brought 50 out, 50 did the hits, he did “P.I.M.P.,” “What Up Gangsta,”“In Da Club,” he did fucking “Many Men,” he did a bunch of joints. Wow. And then, okay.
• 4:01
  I'm on the walkout. And then Bobby Shmurda comes out. Wow. They're yo, what's happening here? This is a fucking rock concert now?
• 4:12
  A hip hop concert? That's fire. It goes to show you how it's like, yes, Mexican, yes, it's that, but it still aligns with pop culture and what's happening in today's, you know.
• 4:25
  But here's the thing, when you were there, I'm assuming was heavy Mexican, was there, I'm sure there was a whole, you know, like their following is huge, it's just not Mexican. It's like Colombians love. Yo, everybody was there, bro. It was a movie. Right. Look, look, look, look how diverse Jackson Heights is. Right.
• 4:43
  I'm saying that because that's where you from.
• 4:46
  Right. It's the same thing. Right. How diverse your neighborhood is is how diverse that damn stadium. mean, Citi Field with that night.
• 4:54
  Crazy. That's great. Crazy, crazy. Well, let me ask you, I want to know what Dynamiq, what he play? Were you there for his He opened up. He just played Bad Bunny. Right the the“NUEVAYoL” joint right he played Alicia Keys and Oh yeah, “Empire State of Mind,” right He played a couple of joints like that and then after that just show started and all right He was in his New York bag That's Mine. That makes sense then that makes a great dude man great, dude Well, and he read the heavy hit his heart King. He nice nice. Oh, what happened to my job, you know? There you go Well, while you were at a concert, I was on vacation. Of course you were. And it was great. I needed it so bad, man, because now that my kids are older, because we usually go away for the winter, February, but our winter break. But now that they're older, they're in college, they don't have those breaks.
• 5:53
  They have different schedules now, so I can't escape with them. So now I say, yo, lock in August. We're going away, all of us. My daughter's about to 21, bro. Real official. Crazy.
• 6:05
  we went out. I went to Aruba and it was great and I had a great time and I just tuned out the world. I was definitely on my phone but I was not really at work mode. I saw you taking a hike to go to a church. I went to church, yo. Wifey was like, yo, we gotta go to la la la. You to a church in Aruba? Well, we didn't go to church. We went to go visit a church.
• 6:26
  Oh, okay. Yeah, We didn't go like to Mass. Yeah, we didn't go pa pa. It was nice. It was cool.
• 6:31
  What is that with wise men who visit churches?
• 6:31
  My wife always wants to visit a church. Wherever we go, we go to see a church. I'm like, yo, I mean, it's a church. They have an altar.
• 6:41
  It's Christ. We go inside and say a prayer, like count on our blessings. We're here. We do that too. We do that too, yeah. But still.
• 6:45
  Think about it like this, guys. The church is probably the first foundation of anything being built, any space you go to. I don't care where you go. Think about it. When they started their community, the first thing they built was the church. So it's the origin point of the place you're actually visiting. I mean this church I went to was a tourist attraction too. Everybody was over there just pulling up on top of the hill. It was fly, it was nice.
• 7:11
  a good I have a question. When you guys go away, when you go away on vacation, Camilo, is there any beefing going on? there's any, not fighting for it, but let's say does Joaquin want to go somewhere and then you don't want to go somewhere else? yo, it's as simple as, it's as simple as, yo, let me get the Bluetooth.
• 7:31
  No, let me play my playlist. That, in the car. Yo, come on. Oh my God, it becomes like one of those family trips and then they start arguing, I don't wanna hear that. then JQ's playing Ken Carson. And then it's like distorted music and I'm like, yo, this is not, yo, put some vibes for the family. Then he'll go change the house music and then my daughter, she wants to hear whatever she wants to hear. was like, oh my God, it's like, yeah, know, stupid. Oh, what are we going out to eat? I want this, I want that. That's another, you know. We're gonna say, uh, uh. Yeah, because you know, now you're dealing with, you're pretty much dealing with three, it's really four adults when you guys go on vacation nowadays, right? Because it's not like back in the day when you would be like, you'd be like, all right, this is what we're gonna do. That don't fly anymore now because now everybody has. They big now.
• 8:20
  Yeah. But the good thing on my kids, man, since young, we've been traveling and like, they like to eat it all. Like they like to try everything. So which is a great thing. You know, I know a lot of my boys, like they're kids, oh no, we only eat McDonald's like nah, fuck that. We're not island on vacation. wanna try island food. I wanna try where the locals go. You know what saying? So yeah, that'd be that type of fight. Oh yeah, well let's go jet skiing. My daughter don't wanna go jet skiing.

• 8:52
  My girl's not gonna go jet skiing. That type of argument. It's fun. Vacation. For me, my wife always wants to go fucking hiking somewhere.

• 9:40
  Y'all look, first of all, you and your girl are a perfect couple. You guys have been around the world. Vietnam, one week. Ice cold! Ice cold in Norway. You should have been a story, but then... All right, so it was your wife's idea going into Antarctica? Absolutely. 90, I want to tell you, I want to say that 96 % of our vacations. Oh, wow. Are my wife's idea.
• 10:05
  Wow. So your wife. Like I'm the type of person, I'm the type of person that if you don't force me to go away, I probably wouldn't go. I'm always like, no sort of grindstone, work, work, work. It's hard for me to get away from shit. So like I'm the type of person where she literally has to like yank me. out of whatever we're doing and like no, we're going here. We're away to go here. Well, she about that life because the things I've seen you do. She's creative, bro.
• 10:31
  I don't know how she comes up with this shit.
• 10:31
  she's like, yo, yeah, we're going to go to like, I think the last trip we went to was, yeah, we stayed in an ice hotel. we stayed in a hotel made out of ice. Where was that? I don't remember, bro. was. Nah, you're lying.
• 10:46
  What do you mean? It was north, like. It might have been Denmark or I think it might have been Denmark one of those one of those Slavic countries was definitely I seen you on the snowmobiles. I seen you doing Bro, I was on the snowmobile. But guess what? Oh, yeah, the snowmobile. It was like Negative it was like negative 20 bro. My eyelids froze open. I couldn't close my eyes And what are you doing? Okay, we're out there with staying on the ice hotel right her idea of a good time is like yo Let's go on a snowmobile and go look at the northern lights and take pictures of northern lights at that time though When on a the small mobile Camilo was on the snowmobile on a lake on a frozen lake It wasn't like we was through the snow was on a frozen lake right now mind you I'm a prepper. So I'm like yo, we want someone cold. I'm getting everything I'm going crazy with it. I'm getting goggles. I'm getting ski masks, all of that shit. She thinks it's for the look. I'm like, no, it's not for the look.
• 11:52
  We get there. She don't got ski masks. She don't got fucking goggles. She's fine. Hello. who has goggles now? You do. No, she does. It's yours. Exactly. So now, so now I'll show you the picture, bro. So now my eyes. I have icicles on my eyelids, bro. You think I planned this? You think I wanna do this? I have icicles on my eyelids. Like you see in the movies where dudes have ice on their beards and shit? That was me. I've never felt this in my life where your eyes are frozen open. You can't blink, you can't close them. They're just frozen.
• 12:29
  Like you know how your eyes get watery and teary? The tears in my eyes are frozen, bro. But how many of us were out there like doing what you were doing? No, it was, you know what?
• 12:40
  It was a lot of tourists. There was a lot of people there. They were mostly European and white. Because we don't do that type of shit.
• 12:44
  Right, right, right. Yo, but okay, so who did the homework? Because you got to do homework for this. I'm not giving it up to her, bro.
• 12:56
  She does all the homework. Wow. Everything.
• 12:56
  The only thing I do is once we touch, like once we touch down, I'm in charge of figuring shit out. Where we at, how we get from one place to the next. Reading a map knowing trying to find a layout of wherever it's city or town or whatever we are I I'll take over but as far as like the whole planning of like What hotel we're staying in what flights were going what days we're gonna be here what there's gonna be there what there's gonna be here That's all her. I'm like, you know, mean listen, you got no kids so you y'all could do that I can never do that Never well, you could do that now your kids are older. Yeah, but they ain't about that.
• 13:33
  You know saying well, yo, what was called a Denmark or Antarctica? Or same shit? That's a one because Antarctica... You know what bro?
• 13:48
  Antarctica wasn't as cold as you think it was.
• 13:48
  When I was in Antarctica it was summer there.
• 13:53
  And it was winter here So that was like around December, February type shit. It was winter, was like January, February, whatever. But it was winter here New York. And there were some days where it was colder here in New York than Antarctica. Yeah, I believe that. But there's some days that... Like, honestly, winter in Antarctica is impossible. Summertime, it gets cold, but you you might be like, 10 below, 15 Explain this to me. Explain this to me. You on a boat, because it's what I've seen, that shit stopped, and your motherfuckers jumped out into the water, correct? They do that. All right. That's fucking crazy. And mind you, around you, it's frozen, the water, right?
• 14:30
  Yeah. Come on, what are you wearing? Bro, like trunks. What? A bathing suit. Yeah. You didn't have no like scheme and everybody in the boat like that I saw no water suit. And it was like a group thing. Y'all just jumped in. Also, so here's what happened, right? We were on a boat. We were we were on this boat. And so we were like the the boat that we were in goes sub-Antarctic circle. So that goes really deep into Antarctica. You understand a waiver?
• 14:59
  Yeah. We waiver everything, you have to sign everything. All types of waivers. book of waivers like this. That's torture, I'm on vacation.
• 15:10
  Alright, go Fuck your life. So then, know, at this certain point, we got to a spot in Antarctica where boats haven't been able to land. I think at the time it was like 12 years, because it was so cold and surrounded by so much ice, right?
• 15:22
  So it like there was a small island through the ice pack. And then once you got on the island, There was like a little shack and the shack had a, they have a sign in book there where you could sign in. And the last sign in was like 12 years before. And the people that, that are on the boat and work on the boat, they do this shit all the time. They'd there, they'd been there for years doing this shit. So they had never been there. Like there were people on that boat that had been working on that boat for over 10 years and they had never been able to make it to this island. No way. For some reason we made it to the island, but it wasn't even easy. Like getting to the island took a day and a half where it was like the boat would move forward, break the ice, back up. move forward, break the ice back up. they kept saying, I think we can make it this time.
• 16:01
  I think we can make it this time. You know, and then we finally made it. I didn't understand what was going on because I was like, all right, whatever. What the fuck? But they were so hyped like the people on the boat. was a bunch of people like that run the excursion, the people that are scientists because we weren't on a cruise ship. We were like on a small ship.
• 16:15
  So anyway, these people were so excited that they had never been there, that they were finally able to get there, that they jumped in the water.
• 16:20
  They took off all their they took off all their shit. Obviously knew what the fuck they were doing. They took off all this shit and they were like, yo, we're gonna celebrate because we never been here in our life. We don't know when we're gonna be here again. And they jumped in the water. My wife sees this. She goes, wow, wouldn't it be cool if we jumped in the water too? So she goes like none of the people that were on the on the the trip, like passengers like us were jumping in the water. It was just the people that were on like worked on the boat and worked doing these excursions. They were getting the water. So my wife goes up to one of them. She goes like, yo, do you think I could do that? And lady was like, absolutely if you want to do it. And she's like, do you want to do it? And I'm looking at her, I'm like, no, we don't want to do it. No. I run around, my wife's already taking her shit off, bro.
• 17:07
  Because we have like, you know, these whole body coats, whatever, she's taking the whole shit off. Zip, zip to underwear, bro. Bra and panties, zip. And she the water. Mind you, I'm still standing there fully clothed. I'm like, yeah. What so she jumps in right and then as soon as she jumps in you know, whatever she comes out everybody just does one of these and looks at me like You're gonna do that you're not gonna do that you soft how long was she in there for quick, um, like I'm end up for like bro 20 seconds maybe in and out fuck fuck there were people that was in there like sitting in there So then I say, know what? Fuck it.
• 17:48
  I'm gonna do it took my shit off, right? I was like, fuck it, she could do what I do. I take my shit off, myself up, like, Yo, bro, I jump in the water. When I tell you right now that I've never felt anything like that in my life, mind you, I've done cold plunges, all that shit. I never felt anything like this in my life, bro. I what the fuck you felt?
• 18:11
  Huh? I'ma tell you what I felt. Look at your arm right now, look at your arm. Go ahead, look at your arm. You see how you have pores in your arm? Yeah. I felt like somebody put, a little pin on every single pore and went like this. Wow. That's what it felt like. felt your boy. I fell in that water and I froze like this. I just started thinking. I had to think about it like I got the fuck out of here. You know, I got I got out of that water so quick.
• 18:40
  But, you know, now I could tell a story. I'm like, yeah, listen, I I went I jumped in the water and the when you jumped in, you by yourself, like by yourself in the water or those people in the water. There was people in the water, but where I jumped in, there was nobody there.
• 18:54
  It was just me. Like there was people in the water. Yes. There was like, I'm going to be honest with you. There was like two people from the boat that was straight up just swimming.
• 19:00
  Wow. Everybody else was like in and out. These dudes were like swimming and I was like, nah, they dead crazy. Y'all a different breed, man.
• 19:09
  Nah, yeah. I'm not about that life.
• 19:09
  Thank you very much. Listen, I went on That's my type of trip. You know what saying? Nice and warm. You know what I'm saying? We did some.
• 19:20
  I made, I actually went to this spot called El Peñol, Guatapé where they have this huge fucking rock. It's like a mountain. And I was with Enuff and Lobo and the wifeys and Enuff and Lobo first thing they said, we ain't going up there. And I said, fuck yeah, we have to go up there. This is what people do. It's 700 steps, you can do it. Nah, nah, for like three days, right? And he's like, we ain't going up We have to do it. Otherwise, yeah, yeah. I've been up there before, so I know what it is. If my mom could go up there and she's 70, at that time three, whatever, y'all motherfuckers could go up there, come on. That was the stab right there. He said, if my mom could do it, and then we was like, all right, we gotta do it now. Right, so we woke up one day, we did it, we went all the way up there, it was great. I ain't goin' front though, at like step 500 and something, I was done.
• 20:09
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, nah. I was like, need to breathe it, yo. I can't do it no more. could pause here, we wait, look at the view, catch a breath. And keep pushing, that's it. We finally made it up there. Then we got up there. Then everybody had some beers and some drinks.
• 20:24
  Yeah, I said, drinks on me. I was like, that's fine. You know, with Lobo, everything's a fucking celebration of drinks. Yeah, absolutely, bro.
• 20:33
  Absolutely. But you know, it's honestly, it's important to, you know, unplug, especially from this DJ grind, which is crazy, and just take a second to like reset. just be like, because sometimes you don't know how far deep you're into it. Right now I'm so deep into it, I can't move two feet without this in my hand right now. That's a fact. That's another thing, I cut you off, that kind of detoured my trip is while I was out there, the earthquake happened in Colombia. Colombia, yeah. Wow.
• 21:04
  So, bro, once I hit, my timeline was just Colombia, Colombia, earthquake, earthquake, 7.4, Richter scale, my family, I'm calling, you know. My family's from Medellín, so they got hit not as hard. So it was cool for me, but just watching everything else, bro, it's bad, really bad. Where it got hit the most, Camilo? In Pereira, Cali, in Chocó. That's really bad, bad. Got you. Bad. I heard you had some aftershocks. Aftershocks. Yeah, that happens, I guess, all the time when there's an Yeah, but yeah, it's fucked up right now. Shit's fucked up. And Vee, he loves life. Yeah, the Heavy Hitters are doing something for the relief, for the people, for the earthquake. We're collecting stuff, we're buying stuff. And I think we're going, I think Vee's son is leaving on Sunday or Monday to Colombia. He's taking like four or five, eight, nine bags, whatever he can, filled with supplies. Right. First aid kits, batteries. Not as bad, it's really bad. Really, really bad. Flashlights, underwear, socks, whatever we could to help. a lot of people, donated literally, and I swear, 24 hours, you'd be surprised how much came through, bro.
• 22:21
  It's crazy. Yeah, word. It's crazy. It's important, my brothers. Yeah, being on that trip and that phone fuck you up, yeah. But you know, that's also a reason why she be planning shit to go where the phone doesn't work. I think that's one of the things. I think it is. think, you know, I can't prove it. Yo, I love that. I think one of the things is that she'll We're like, where do phones don't, does not work? And that's but how do you not love that? You gotta reflect that. You yeah, it's fine. You have to. All right, so, Kast One, besides Antarctica and Denmark, anything else sticks out like crazy that you went to? Egypt. Egypt was crazy.
• 23:03
  Um. That's on my bucket list. You gotta go.
• 23:03
  And just that one, you can do with the kids.
• 23:07
  Right. Egypt, you can do with the kids. Egypt is amazing. Um, you get like How many days you gotta stay there? Like- I was there for a long time. know, I would say if you go to Egypt for like, I think in two weeks, you could do pretty good. weeks? What is this? What else besides the pyramids? There's a lot to see. Like if you want to see everything in one go, because some of these places is like, yo, you only going to go once in your life, right? You're going to go to Egypt back and forth, back and forth. So it's like, everything is kind of far from each other, right? Like Cairo, where the, you know, where the Great Pyramid is and Giza and the Sphinx is in one area. but then all the way on the other side of Egypt is like Luxor and a bunch of other stuff. You could take a river cruise down the Nile River, bro, and stop at different places.
• 23:49
  It's a lot to do and a lot to see. So that's why I'm saying, if you could pull off a week and a half, two weeks in Egypt, you won't regret it. All right. I thought it was just to go see the pyramids. Yo, can I ask you a question?
• 24:05
  You can. Why you weren't there? Did they ever think you were Egyptian? Bro. Because you look Egyptian, my G. Everywhere I go, I look like something. I remember, you know, I have a story like that one time. I got to Kenya, right? I got to Kenya one time. Like, listen, I could pass for anything, bro. So got to Kenya one day. We were going on a safari in Africa. So we landed in Kenya. And then the security guard, whatever, the guy was like, everybody, everybody, you know, two lines, two lines, one line for Kenyans, one line for anybody else that's not from Kenya, right? So I'm on the line where nobody else with Kenya he goes up to he comes up to me just me every is mad people online, bro And you know is is there's not it's not just white was black people like right aging people all type people in this one line He comes up to me. He was like, what are you doing on this line? Like just like that? What you mean? You should not be longer this time you belong on that line. You are Kenya you over there and I'm like, you know, he's screaming at me because I guess You know when you go somewhere, anywhere you can go, DR, Colombia, whatever, they usually treat the people that are from there different than the people that are not. Wherever you go, you can go anywhere.
• 25:19
  You got that tourist money. got that tourist money. Who's a foreigner? They might treat foreigners a little nicer than they treat the people from their area. So he's on my neck.
• 25:28
  Like, you get the foot over there. Why are you over there? You are not Kenyan. I mean, say, you are Kenyan. You are not American. You are Kenyan. And I'm like. No, bro. I'm like America. No, I'll do this night. I'll do this night. He grabbed my arm for me. I'm like, you know, my wife had to get my passport and like look at the man. He's like, oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I thought you were Kenyan. I thought you were crazy.

That GV, you know GV and Brist, they did a whole DJ battle and I went there and did the whole Audio Two “Top Billin'” set, you know, but, and there was a time when I was into it, but after a while I just, it's like, when you're rocking a crowd, you don't really, know, unless you're like fucking A-Trak who's in front of a crowd and just, you know, but I just, I don't know.
