  Speaker 4: who I first worked with when I was a kid.

  Speaker 4: So when went solo and left Death Row, I basically
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: told John McClain and Big Redge, they said, who you
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: want to work with production? I said, go get battle
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Cat so we can start where.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: We ended off, which was in the hood.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: We started now we're gonna start again here and that's
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: crazy because we started working on my next solo album Space.

  Speaker 3: Nope, this is after Spacebook and all that, right, And
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: if I'm.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Not mistaken, I think I just got back with Snoop
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: and the homies. We did Cali is Active. This is
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: after Cali is Active.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: By the way, one of the most legendary music videos.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Every other videos.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And uh and quick.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Everybody was in it, even like the underground, like dilated people.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: That was a beautiful day. Dog Dog put that together
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: so elegantly, and everybody came out and showed out for
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: all of us, Battle Cat for me and Dad and everybody,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: and Snoopy.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: But that's you know.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: After that, I got with Cat and he said, we're
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: gonna start working on your next solo album.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I say, cool.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: First record we made was Mystic River. So ten eleven
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: years later, you know, Snoop comes to me and Cat
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: because Snoop co manages me with my wife Lisa, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: he comes to Cat and myself and says, okay, so
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: it's time for corrupt solo thing. And he says corrupt
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: battle Cat gonna produce it all. Me and Cat is
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: just stuff like Wow, we finally get the opportunity to
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: do this.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So do you feel good to put out mister River
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: after so many years? Definitely, it don't sound like it
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: sounds like y'all just did it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: And you know it's crazy to put it out on
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: this level though, because I threw it on a mixtape
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: way out just to see what people thought. I couldn't
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: hold it no more. I can't lie, and it just
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: went everywhere. But it's never been.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: On an actual real project.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: We're saving it for my solo, so that's one of
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: the first things we went was took that we're gonna
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: make the basis from this. Everything else is spanking brand new.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: And stories was the main kick to it. Kendrick really
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: sent me on the page when I was working on this.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I love his stories, I said, you know what, He
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: was the inspiration because I'm gonna give a lot of stories.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: And then Cat got these beats that just help you
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: to make this movie. Each one of his beats is
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: a score, so all I gotta do is pin the
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: script to this score.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: And that's that's what it felt like.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: That turned into a full track. So I know he
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: said beats, but you know, I'm a man and know
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: how to fully produce and I thank God for this
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: dude Corrupt because he was part of my upbringing before death.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Row to.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Go from a beat maker to a real certified producer
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: who understands the arrangements and bringing all uh.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: The white people.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Always been a producer, even the records we made when
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I was a kid man fall in love that wasn't produced.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I was producing. But you know, I just want the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: people to hear the beat making. It's another level of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: being a full fledged musician, who can play drums, who
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: can engineer, who can bring the right singers in uh rings,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And it's all that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I really want to follow.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Uh the greats that done it and and R and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: B and and and uh R and B and uh
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and Uh. I say R and B, R and B
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and rock and roll. I ain't gonna lie. I love
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: them both jazz too, and then you know, and then
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: when hip hop came, it was it was. It was
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the next, the next level of following the greats like
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: DJ Pool and UH and Doctor Dre and Uh. We
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: didn't we didn't, we didn't stop. I just want to
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: get this man a sound that would really vibrate the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: nation because we in another level of understanding all of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: records that was done from Corrupt with some beautiful pieces.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: But to have one man, to have one sound behind
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: this one man, it's phenomenal now and they can understand
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: how a one producer can really get it off the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: same way with Hi Boy. Hit Boy did the same thing.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: He's another one that touched me greatly. And his contribution
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: with nas Oh my god. So you know what I
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: wanted to do. I want to make sure we called
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: all a ka. You know, Corrupt have the finest things.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That was going to set this movement off.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: This has been my favorite, I think. I mean I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: didn't get to the last two tracks because I was
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: because he said it to me pretty late last night,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: so I didn't get to listen to the record rbax
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the last BJ record better when I heard man, it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it's probably my favorite in the new era death Jam
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: or death Row. This is my favorite album that Glad
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: said death Jam too, because you know I'm a part
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of that too. I'm glad you said that. My first
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: hit is with death Jam all the way to death Row.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: So what was your first hit? Was a ghetto jam dom? Yeah?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: And that's a guy yeah yeah, yeah, ninety four and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he grew up with with Domino. Domino grew up with
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: with with Snoopy as well, and so to have that
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: backbone the voice. Yeah, all the whole album, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: except for one record produced by A by by AMG
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: What's up? AMG? And H. But it was it was
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a dope, dope foundation to really get in the game
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: because that was the record that certified battle Cat.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: You know you're seeing going that way, sweet Potato, you.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Hear me, Domino don't get talked about enough, man, Yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that's my guy. Great body, what's up?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Boy?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So like it feels like like I was saying, like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you got the features on this album, feels like like
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like like the Jane features, the BJ features,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Like is that is that you being like okay, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: can hear BJ on this or is that like.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I like how you said that that's Snoop. Yeah, it's
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: it's Snoopy and it's myself. We both are playing ping
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: pong with this thing.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You know. You's take a lot of guest pilots on
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the album.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: We got Snoop on some records. You got Jane Hancoff
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: some records.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wanted he wanted this foundation that already exists
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: on the label, which was a very unique idea, you
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, because I remember how death Row
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: was back in the days. It wasn't nobody outside being
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a part of the situation. Yeah yeah, they cut that out. Features.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: They're all in house, you know, incredible talent, but we
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: found uh, you know, BJ has always been a death
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Row and West Coast family out of Chicago. He got
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: classics with Kendrick Yeah, come on, man, I mean I
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: got classics with him in an earlier upcoming vibes, you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of doing doing hits. So we've been connected in more
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: ways than you can imagine. So I couldn't help but
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: hear his voice and anyone else who had to be
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: on there, Charlie Burrell.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I got to give it to him. Charlie Burrell did
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the record that you like?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Uh what you do to me?
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we weren't playing with that. I had to get him.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: You know, he's got attack come on, yeah, yeah, the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: way to kick the album off. What's the other one?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Stay mind state? Yeah, we got him a mind state.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Don't get toll. Charlie Burrell.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: He killed him with that. You know what I'm saying.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: BJ's on that one.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Too, and then we let Charlie Burrell just express his
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: musical muscle, you know, with the guitar and bringing that
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: that blue soul.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: If people forgot about that, Like, man, we was raised
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: on all that, Like how could you say we got
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to just be one way? But when we grew up
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and you heard our production, if you really was in tune,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you'll go, oh my god, this makes sense. This is
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: a wide range of a production. You know, me being
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: fifty eight years old, I still feel like, you know
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: how Michael Jackson and Q and Q got a Quincy Jones,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: They did a phenomenal movement when he was fifty. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I'm fifty eight. I feel like the nineties all over
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: again through this twenty twenty six movement with this corrupt.

• 16:15
  Speaker 4: East Coast West Coast shit is over right, you know
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. This is the unification And that's when
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: my album represented unification? Was it West Coast and the
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: East Coast where I'm from and where I'm at boom
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: just giving it to them all?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Was that important for you because obviously you you've been
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a part of, you know, in proximity at least to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of the East Coast West Coast. Ship Pocket
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: already passed Big he had already passed. It was a
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: very you know, traumatic time for hip hop. So for
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you to be like, yo, I'm coming out with my
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: first solo album leaving Death Row and it's gonna be
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: East Coast this too, West Coast disc one, bringing everybody together?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Was that was that very like like you were self
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: conscious that that was an important thing to push.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: It was the most import with all the East Coast
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: West Coast stuff going on and all that that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: You know what, you know, they know me as the West.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: They know I'm from the East Coast. I'm from Philly,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Darby Township, Shone Hill, but I've never done anything dedicated
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: to where I was born. So I gave this whole
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: East Coast section of the project.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: And remember this is.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Right after all eyes on me, So inspiration came from
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Park to be able to do a double CD. And
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: here I can give it up for the West Coast
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: and then I can give it up for the East Coast.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: That was just everything to me, you know what I'm saying,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: to show the East my love for them and appreciation,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: to give it up for the West, who basically made Corrupt.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Here just my first entrance into the solo game. It's
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: a dedication record where I got the producer who was
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: there in the beginning of Corrupt, the producer who believed
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: in Corrupt afterwards, doctor Dre, and the producer who was
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: my best friend and my brother Daz, and then producers
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I wanted to work with all this time, like a studio.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Tone out the bay.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know who does sick with it and forty
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: and all of that right there.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: So I got out there.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: What got to knock that down storm out in Jersey,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. Got to work with him.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: He brought the venoms to the table. It was like
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: the female Wu Tang, you know what I'm saying, and
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Davante Davonte swang from Joonesy.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I always wanted to know for you. You were an
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: instrumental part of the Bang on Wax album, which is
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: ninety three. Gang culture is at an all time high.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: The movie Colors has been out. I mean it's boys
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: in the Hood, boys in the Hood, all of this,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and like there's all this a lot of people who
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: aren't from Los Angeles. There's this lure about the gang
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: culture in California and the fact that this album came
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: out where you had Bluzz and Grips on the cover,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and it felt like a bit. It was being a
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: kid from Phoenix who ain't from LA seeing that ship,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: seeing that my cousin.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: CD books, I'm like, oh, this is crazy.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: This is whose idea was it? And then how did
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: you kind of get brought in to help with the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: production And was there ever any like real blowback from
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the making of this album.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Well, Red Rum out of Inglewood and Tweaty bird Lok
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: from Kelly Park was the original founders of Banging on
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Wax and always been friends with them both for about at.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Least two or three years.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: So we had a cool relationship and that's what bonded
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the respect that we had for one another, because that
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: had to happen first, you know, I know, I really
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: understand the back dry oup and and and the movement
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: of of of that gang culture, you know, and we
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: wanted to do something different and showed that it's uh,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: the skill set of being a rapper's beautiful, but when
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: you decide to be an EMC, like corrupting all the
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: rest of the you know, Ice Tea and anyone else
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: who told the story too is well from the West Coast.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: We wanted to show that that they do have a
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: voice as well, because that's been a part of the
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: upbringing of MC eight and DJ Quick and anyone you
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: can think of Game, you know, YG or anyone else
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: who come out the hood you know problems, you know,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Glasses Malone just to name a few. You know, because
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: we do have this young and older generation that that
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: always been like a crazy thing about being of it
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: to exist in California, right and in the industry. So
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: they we did that, and uh, it was gonna it
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: was gonna be crazy. It was a crazy beginning of
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: seeing both sides trying to come together and then came together.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Because this was around the time when Who's the Man
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: soundtrack was out and we was listening to some classic
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: hip hop you know, you know, Biggie was just being
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: born in the hip hop so while we was in
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the mix of making this album, we want to be
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: on another different level of of our crek crek creation.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it was like it was like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a CD that like was everybody was trying to cop
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: like at least in Phoenix. I feel like everybody had
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: it in their CD book.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean I don't want to put too
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: much on it, you know, I think I said enough,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: but you know, the Bloods and Crypts are very unique
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: in their own way, and they being MC's behind behind
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the table. It's some, it's some. It's some guys us
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: who you know, want to speak on it, like how
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Q did or maybe they felt he wasn't the one
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: to do so, but he was the only one who
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: could speak from a very intelligent way of how the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: streets was, and others was able to do it too.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: N w A did a phenomenal job of talking about
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: the things. What I happened to say, blood or crip.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: You know, we just was talking about the struggle or
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: what it was to become a black man and the
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: things that was so crazy being in the community, you
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, And we wanted to wanted to
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: paint a better picture. So when you start seeing these
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: different artists coming from these walks of life, especially DJ Quick,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: you know, who really made.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: His his point felt loud as a blood.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: It was just crazy how everybody in the mature aspects
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: start to happen, because uh, you know, people end up
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: moving in different neighborhoods and have to understand how can
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: we get along, you know, as as as as blacks,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: and then the Mexicans was right there. They've been seeing
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: so much of it as well, you know, from low
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: riding to barbecues to concerts and supporting us on a
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: radio station. You know, I'm an original kJ mixed master,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: so that yeah, yeah, I started way back. I really
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: wanted to get minds off because me, I I grew up,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: you know, from a place where you know, we understood
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: uh jazz and hip hop and uh all the Puerto Ricans,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: you know we're talking about Santana. Santana was one of
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: my favorites my mother raised me on, and so I
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I really want to pay homage in all different ways
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: in the earlier days before I even met Corrupt, you know.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: So you know, I can go anywhere when it comes
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: to land escaping the sonics of music that come out
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: of Los Angeles.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Can you guys take me to the day of the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Calias Active video shoot. I don't think people need to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: go rewatch this video because the park was this a you.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Know what corrupt it was like you guys, I think
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Snoopy got got the drop on that. And I'm sure
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: like you'll ever see a day like this where there's.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: So much just legends from from the Bay to l
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: A and in between, all in the same time. It
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: was so many Yeah, I mean, I mean the spot
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: in the video.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: I mean it's it's it's a it is comes out.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: You feel, it's an all time come out.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: God, were you guys surprised by like looking around like God,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: you know, I was because I came a little late.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Alesion Park a Lesion part. I love that, so Leegion part.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: It's not a part that every one goes to. So
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I'm glad he found that place. So yeah, we had
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: to exist on another level, bringing all those different vibes
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: at one place, you feel me. I mean we had
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Oakland up in there. You see how two shirts and
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: everyone came through there. It was just it was just
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal move about Callius actor. We didn't really want to.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: We could have said, uh, one part of California, but
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: it's California all the way around from the Bay to La.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: We didn't want to.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: We didn't want to leave nothing out. So I'm glad
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Snoopy thought about the visuals on another level to bring
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: it more. I didn't even understand how that was going
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: to happen, but he pulled that off.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Is that the Snoops putting in the costs?
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I mean, I mean he
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: really was practicing his see his CEO movement though too though,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: because he he he's a person that has a great,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: great uh mind state of being a creator. I just
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: didn't understand how this thing was going to happen. But
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: when it happened, it makes sense, So I see why
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: he's so or looked at like, Okay, this is the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: this is the man that got the courage to take
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: our coasts or another level.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Did you guys see the verses you get to see
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: any of this?
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: It wasn't beautiful.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: It was one of the most entertaining verses of all time.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: And I felt like it turned into like just like
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a love fest, like everybody.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Was just it was like it was they had fun.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Man, they had fun.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: That's the most important thing, you know what I'm saying.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: The Bloods showed that they can't have a good time
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: and nobody get in no trouble, nobody get hurt.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: And all the good things. But this was really really
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: big for the entire coast, you know.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying. And they both represented so so well.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Game came with this level of of the West Coast
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: and then why g CA with this level, so they
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: both was on levels going up and up in each
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: other's gendres connected game.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: It was made you remember, like, okay, game really was
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: like the face of l a for this pockeast, right
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: and then and then there was like the New l
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: A which was like g Malone ned but a little
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: bit after that is right, I.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Say, high unfolded. It was incredible. Another thing that was
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: very unique.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: About them getting in, you know, they just they joined themselves.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: On a run.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: They set it off so cold. It was amazing almost
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: you know, had a low tear in my eyes just
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: seeing it because it was so many levels of faces.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: You if you really know the game.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: It was other other hoods there that was that was
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: bloods and it was a couple of crips there that
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: was on that stage that I liked and so that
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: you know, I saw it. It was so amazing that
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: they could level their respect and and communication with one
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: another to even have them there, you know, because back
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: in the days, man the color colds, the cold, the
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: whole culture. You know, we couldn't even stand each other
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: to do that. And it's sad because it's a black thing,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: you know. And when you see that now you see
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: the level of them saying, you know what, we don't
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: want to let this exist like that. We want to
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: show different colors. So I love the Red Rags Uh
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: family and foundation for putting that together and seeing some
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: real players that that there you go, that's what I'm
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: talking about.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: You see. It was like you said, it's two different errors.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know it's this era and this era, two
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: separate different eras.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: They're kind of blend into each other. They like each
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: other because his Nipsey records and why.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Why you hit him with that last time that I checked?
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: You get about it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: You understand me game with his nipp See, it was
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: just all love. They got so much, uh that they
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: have in common different eras. You know, this one was
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: from this day and age, and then after him came
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: this day and age and shouts out to to Swizz
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: into Timberland.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: And the people.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Uh versus versus for allowing you know, and giving the
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: West Coast, I.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Want to say, versus I don't know who he will
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: go against. They got to bring Quick into the arena
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: just so he could just show out.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: You know, because people for he gonna show it is
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: so deep.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: It's like it's crazy, like.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Who would it be? You know, because I damn near
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: think like I know, like Dres Dre, Like no one's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: going to get dra. But I feel like it'd be
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: fun if it was like Dre and Quick, just because
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like they both both was vocal both got records,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: they both got you know.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they both was vocalists in that, you know, and
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I would love to see that too. See with me,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I gotta be with someone if I go, I've gotta
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: be someone who who only just did production. And don't
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: put me with somebody who's a MC and rap.

  Speaker 3: They gonna work it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Out because you know, that's that's what family does.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: See, that's what the in between thing is. See when
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: people say he's in between, it's in between with knowledge
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: and information and understanding. For people, when they see the
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: ship going, they wondered what's happening. He never feels like

• 33:14
  Speaker 2: for all of us, you know, for the coast, you know,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: because it's white before our eyes. What y'are saying is
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I never thought social media would be so so crazy
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: with seeing so many.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: People expressed themselves because usually you couldn't do that. We
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: didn't have that.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: You would just hear about it unless you was in
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: in in it's uh in a circle or some shit.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: But the social media and ain't nothing nice. It could
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: it could pant some good and some bad.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: How's your brother man? Because you know your brother got
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: smooth Sailing is a classic his by the way, his
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: verse on I called shots. Oh my goodness, yes you
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: want to talk about that's one of the most impressive
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: lyrical just performances out of the West Coast. That song
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: as a whole, and it was the first.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Song on streets.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: But how's your brother doing that?
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: He's doing real good, you know, enjoying being a father,
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, more than ever, and also
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: getting ready for his new projects to be dropping. He's
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: got new projects, cracking solo, we got other projects.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: With other people.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: So I just remember when he just to California. I
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, that you saw him and David
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Banner perform at a halftime show at a and one
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: mixtape tour.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: When that's right, I think back then, I had on
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: on site on the and one mixtape. Crazy was running
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: the circuit him and David Banner, and uh, you know
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: it's crazy because David Scotie. You know, I just put
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: him on four bars on Girls All Pauls when he
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: flew to the Moon, and that just goes to show
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: you it's not only a skill, but the people adapted
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: to him and loved him.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's working hard, he's doing his thing.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Battle Cat. I always wonder, man, when we think of
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: West Coast production, as much as West Coast has like
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a spirit and a soul that's that connects sonically. I
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: feel like guys like Quick, guys like Warren G, guys
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: like Dre, they have their signature sounds where you kind
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: of know and I feel like your baselines are very distinct.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like you have your own pocket of like
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: oh no, that's a battle Cat shit like for you,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: when do you feel like you kind of you had
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: your sound was defined where you were like, okay, you
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: know what.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: It still kind of reminds me of Quincy Jones because
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: that man touched all levels of what music was. And
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: if you listen how I do my R and B
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: with Raf Brian McKnight on Faith Evans, you can see
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: the level.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Of my creation. I don't want to just be a
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: one man.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Vibe of what what kind of music I do, and
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: so I think it was very uh respectful for me
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: to keep this thing we always had on the West
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Coast in the eighties going into the nineties, and that
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: was to be your own man and sound like your
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: own self and be original, you know what I'm saying.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: That's another thing that Corrupt loved about me because when
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: it came in the backyard to hear me, he I
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: didn't sound like no one else who who created the
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: music that that was being being produced, and it could
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: level up to his expectation of what he did. Because
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: if I couldn't handle him, then I wouldn't be I
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be wearing him at today.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: So he is the man one of the main factors
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: of why Battlecat is so dope. You know what was
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the y'all had a corrupt you had a joint. I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: want to what was the soundtrack? Was it Players Club soundtrack? Yes?
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah I remember.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Remember the name of that fucking song.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: That's the first record we worked the Yeah, yeah, that's
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: under pressure. Yeah, it's under pressure. We made it was
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: it was a we can freak it so under pressure
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: they put on the Players when.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: We had real soundtracks.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, man, something to uh. And that's kind
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: of like what Snoopy was looking at too. He wanted
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: us to start off with the EP, but the way
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: it was knocking things down, we went past that and
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: blung more greatness to the table, you know, because I
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: missed when we looked at a soundtrack and then you
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: had the music that with Taylor right behind that thing
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: and give you a notion of of of of happiness
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: and and and the vision of what the what the
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: movie the movie is about.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Well then you end up having the baby Boy song too.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, you see how that goes, which is
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: like you see how that went and now now you
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: now you're putting, you're putting your painting a picture. That's
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: what we're talking about. So I'll be glad when we
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: get back to making movies on the West Coast. You know,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: we missed John Singleton Dealey, and I'm glad were we
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: gave him a record that was set it off. You
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Each of you guys have history with Nate Dogg. Obviously, Yeah,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Nate Dogg, Yeah, to me is the greatest hook guy ever.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's how Smokey Robinson. If you asked me,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: he is the Smokey Robinson.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Of the game.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: You know, if I had to put him next to greatness,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: I would say him for me because well, you.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Know, he's the greatest.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Because no matter who's hot at the time, they'll be like, oh,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: you're like the Nate dog right now.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: Everybody's trying to get a hook for me.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, Like not to say
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: anbody's name, but there's so many people who like they
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: go on a run and then everybody wants someone on
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the hook and they always.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: Will be like, oh, you're like Nate Dogg right now.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: But Nate was the guy. Can you guys have any
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: can you guys share any stories about Nate because obviously
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: you guys. I mean you did the Chico on Cool
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Water record, a very slept on random West Coast song.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: But that song was all over the fucking radio.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: High come down, Yes, come on, man, Eviden Champagne, we
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: did that. We make I put my own music to it,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: cause at first I had her vibe. But I still
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: want to keep it alive because the way that Nate
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Dogg was coming to it, you know, that's what the
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: foundation was. But when we found out we couldn't get
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: it clear, then I made another version and and then.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: You hear his vocals over that.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: It was amazing that we did the second version because
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: it pushed me to be another level of a of
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: a real producer.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: What's his vibe in the studio is Nate?
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Is it automatic? Does it take him a while to
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: lay some shit down?
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: What's that vibe like?
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Working with Nate?
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, for me, it was automatic because at that
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: time he was already seasoned from being in the Church
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: game and then the Death Role movement and R and
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: B world.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: He was a crooner.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: You know, I gotta give it to him, you know,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: like Teddy Penograd and that that man can make some
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: shit crack, you know, and I'm glad that he had
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: that foundation and coming up, you know with the two
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: one three and that whole movement, and it's it's phenomenal
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: for me to just look at it and see how
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: it goes. So but when he got in the studio, man,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: he was just it was just a breath of fresh
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: fresh air. I seen him when I had my crib
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: in West Covina. I got a chance to see him
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: hands on, and uh, I'll just look at him sometime,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: you know, and uh, give him his freedom. I always
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: respected that seeing Nate Dogg as a man, like where
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: is he at?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Where you want to be? What kind of drinks for?
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Kind of walk?
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: What? You what you want to see?
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: And when I did that, and it's giving him a space, man,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: you'd be surprised would come out of out out of
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: his dome. It's just amazing of the things he's been
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: able to see as a young man all the way
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: up to an artist.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: So he definitely can paint a picture.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Corrupt.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: You have some of the most memorable verses on Doggie Style,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: which in my opinion, is the greatest rap album of
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: all time.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Depending on the day, it always switches between like Doggie
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Style and Illmatic and get Richard I trying, but all.
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: Those for you man, Like, what was the spirit of
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: like those sessions?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Like, did y'all understand like, because obviously Snoop is coming
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: off the chronic everybody always is a highly anticipated project
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: y'all are working on.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, did y'all feel like, damn, we nailed.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: We landed the plane on this motherfucker, like.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: When we made it, during the time we made it.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: That was right during the time off we started probably
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: in ninety four Doggy Style and then we had time
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: off where we would just get to work and then
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: but it was the case.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Came and then above the Rim.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: By the time above the Rim, we was already songs
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: all in, so you know, we felt like we was there.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: We went to Sugar with it and he was like, yeah,
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: this is this that against shit, Yeah, keep going, and
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: then he put us in the room so we could work,
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: gave us own studio to work out of, and when
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: we got finished, he was like, damn, this is cracking.
• 42:09

• 42:11

  Speaker 2: Charlie Wilson. That's who taught me.

  Speaker 2: By the way, Charlie Wilson, he's on whose album the.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: New Corrupting Battle.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Funny because that is his nephew is the reason why Tulsa,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma fam Bam who put his voice over there. So
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: when you hear that over special, that's what you hear.

  Speaker 4: Also Uncle Charlie's family, the lineage We can freak.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: It Andre Wilson written by Casey Wilson, the younger brother
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: crazy you feel me so. But to talk about that
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: talk box, you know, because my man Snoopy is definitely
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: a lover of Roger Trump and and did some great
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: things to DJ Pool and that was that was a
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: fine time of having a voice. That's one thing I
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: love about Roger. Roger to me was a center voice
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: like Martin Luther King or like just you know, you
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: got Herbie Hancock. He's another one that doesn't use it's
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: just fabric, like yeah, like he used a vocoder kind
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: of synthesizer to do his voice, but he's still speaking
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: his real voice through it. That's Herbie Hancock. But then
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Rogers see Rogers taking it to another level because we
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: had other people who do it to you, Stevie wonder
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: you know the people who did tear me something good,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: you'd be surprised who's all behind these crazy records? So,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: but Roger took it to another level. And me, I'm
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: just keeping it alive.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: That's why I love think his nephew is on the
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Yay album Bully bringing it back. You know, yeah, you know.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: So for me, you know, I got my blessings from

• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I did some great Me and him did some great

  Speaker 5: The Rock Kim record is hard, But how does those

  Speaker 4: Actually it was from the rock Kim record when we
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: did uh b Ill. We did the video and then
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: approached rock Kim because I just from talking to rock
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: Kim found out how extensive he was in the production
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: side of things and DJ of course, so we came
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: to him and basically was like, you know, uh, what
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: do you think about producing me and Master Killer's project.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: So it went from him producing it to now.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: It's basically master Killer Corrupt, Rock Kim, the God, Gotti
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: and the Killer you understand me, and that's we Wu
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: Tang DPG, the God Body Project, you know what I'm saying,
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: produced by the God.

• 52:52
  Speaker 4: already complete, We already shot all the videos to it.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: He just shot a video to his solo record from
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: the project called Distance Different, you know what I mean.
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: So yep, he just did that one.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: You know, we're getting ready to drop that in a
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: couple of months too, were getting ready to go for it.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: So you and Master Killer had already kind of said, Yo,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do something, Oh definitely, and then it just
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: so happened and we were like, hey, let's see if
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: you know, we get some beats from rock Kim and
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: it turns into no, we.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: Want him produced the entire project. Yeah, and let's get
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: rock Kim to just produce the old thing. We want
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: you to get your production credit that you deserved, you know,
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: just you know, producing another act or artists producing them
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: and overseeing all the production, overseeing putting it together, to
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: do the full production, not just the beat on it.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: You actually put it all together. You produced this project, right,
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: me and master Killer. So he came in and just
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: laced our chucks and then jumped on some records and
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: next thing, you know, you know, became all three of us,
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: you know, master Killer corruptly.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: I had saw like this, a bunch of stories getting
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: posted that Like, you guys got Eminem and jay Z
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: on the album.
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: But I guess it's an interlude.

• 54:10
  Speaker 4: He was speaking on the R. Eminem was speaking on
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: the R. So Kim put them both together to go
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: into his album, his solo album, which is the difference.

• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the first one I'm saying, but that was that was
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: like the foundation of this.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, mister River was the key from there, you know,
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: that set the tone going back to where we set the.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: Tone, and then from there we just started creating you know,
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: his music.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Like I said, crazy movie by the way, just that

  Speaker 2: let me hear him.
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't know we could.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to do that, man, because this man
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: when we first met, he was about love coming in
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: and it was crazy because I didn't see the girls
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: he was with just yet. I said, but why this
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: this dude is so so phenomenal with painting a picture
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: about his expression of love. Right, So we had that
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: vibe when we first met. So for so to get
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: this vibe from Snoopy about how the importance of him
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: showing that because she she's been the number one legally
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: is an incredible end of Well, she's not a back
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: seat this type of person. She's just got a very
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: unique way of expressing herself when she want this man
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: to win. So uh Snoopy was like, hey man, this
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: is the record that you don't have listen to what
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Cat did for me. Now I got a record that
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Cat wants to produce for you, and I want you to,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: you know, paint the picture and get into another another
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: level or expressing yourself about someone that is dear to
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: you in the later days, I mean in the better
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: days of your life. Now you know what I'm saying,
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: because we know what we know. The bitches did they thing.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: But this ain't this, ain't that, This ain't that vibe.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: This is the one who's actually a queen to your
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: heart and this the song is super dope.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: I saw you talking about your coma situation on Big Boy,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: which I remember. I think I saw N eighty posted
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: when you were in the hospital. What is obviously, when
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: you come on the other side of something like that,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: shakes you up, your buddy, probably changes a lot of
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: how you're looking at life and some of the decisions
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: you're doing, and what are the you know, three weeks
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: you're in a coma, something like that.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: Three weeks. Yeah, when you.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Get on the other side of that, man, Like, I mean,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: you gotta be thinking God every day that you're still
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: with us. But is there you know, do you change behavior?
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Do you kind of have to switch up like how
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: you're taking your health like well you.
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: Told you Yeah, you definitely have to do that because
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: you gotta You gotta have a different diet, You have
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: to have a different way of thinking to move forward
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: to where you're supposed to go next, or you just
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: continue doing what you was doing that was not right
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: and put you in a position in the first place.
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: So you gotta change everything from your mind state. You
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: gotta change your diet, what you're eating, what you're drinking.
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: You gotta change how you live your life, you know,
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: the places you go with you're doing, how you're spending
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: your time. So you got to change all of that,
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: and uh, you gotta change your whole entire mindset.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Are you still able to drink alcohol? No, because I
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: know you like to drink, you know, I do. I know.
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: I ran into you at the Hooters.
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: Here and there money you know, it was it was
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: a choice do you want to live or you know,
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: risk it all? So you know, after so long of
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: not drinking and being in the hospital. Wasn't that difficult?
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that hard? You got over the hard part? Yeah?
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because the hard part is when I'm not in
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: the hospital and I got that wall up to keep
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: me from the temptation and all that. But when that's gone,
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: you know to stick to the program and the plan,
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: so you know, I'm taking it day by day.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Is that something where you you feel like you got
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: to maybe like go to a meeting or anything if
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: you are having that itch to want to pick up
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: a bottle again? No, No, you just have a support system.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Why great support system.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: And also rest, you know, eating and rest, you know,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: because you you know, when you get some rest, your
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: body heels your body whoop.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: Watch.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: But you remember you also night night, so the time
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: goes by, you wake up and your mind is somewhere
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: totally different.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: Also monitoring the phone, keeping the phone like.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: Going to do not disturb important?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: You know what, I'm very important because you know it's
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: just one conversation you can have that will make you
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: go backwards. So you monitor your phone, monitor the company
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: you keep, you love all your folks and all that.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: But you got this your you got to be into
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: you now and your family can't really be all of
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: that and then you gotta you know, can't just leave
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: them all out in the on the blank. But every
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: day it's just it's not healthy to to maintain this program.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: Battle Cat, is there an artist you for whatever reason,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: it has just escaped you from working with that.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: You were just like, this is the guy I need
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: to get with?
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: This guy Like the fact that Battlecat and so and
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: so I haven't done a record together is crazy. Who
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: is that artist you still want to try to get with? Uh?
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Donnie has to Wagh.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: And Bob Marley for one, and UH Stevie Wonder because
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: the pictures that they was painting. UH is very, very
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: unique and phenomenal for me as a as a producer
