0:27
Speaker 5: me a quarter every time. So I was excited to
0:29
Speaker 5: see my uncle. So when I come on your show,
0:32
Speaker 5: I got to come bearing gifts. You know what I'm saying?
0:34
Speaker 2: It just happened to be some flash.
0:37
Speaker 4: Definitely flash.
0:37
Speaker 3: I was listening to the new album. I forgot what
0:39
Speaker 3: song it was, but you say something. You're rapping and
0:41
Speaker 3: you say something about a man. You're like, tell him
0:42
Speaker 3: we got the new TS Air Force is coming.
0:45
Speaker 2: And here they go.
0:46
Speaker 4: Here they go.
0:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, this album's so real that it starts with a disclaimer.
0:53
Speaker 5: This is for entertainment use because it's too real.
0:57
Speaker 1: When did people start questioning Fat Joe?
0:59
Speaker 2: What do you think?
1:01
Speaker 5: Well, coming over here, I realized they created an emoji
1:07
Speaker 5: just for me, the cap.
1:10
Speaker 2: The cap is.
1:10
Speaker 5: Like that Joe emoji. Just throw the cap at him.
1:15
Speaker 5: I don't think they ever questioned me.
1:16
Speaker 2: I just think.
1:18
Speaker 5: You know, we come up at a time where we
1:21
Speaker 5: ain't used to talk or take pictures. And then it
1:24
Speaker 5: came a time where, like, yo, Joe, show your personality.
1:27
Speaker 5: So on the podcast, I'm telling all these wild stories.
1:31
Speaker 5: And a normal person just... Can't relate. Like, they just like, yo,
1:36
Speaker 5: this guy, he can't, but it always come back.
1:40
Speaker 2: Somebody co-signed the story.
1:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
1:42
Speaker 5: So I don't know if it takes a week, a year,
1:45
Speaker 5: or somebody pops up and says, yo, that really happened.
1:51
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
1:52
Speaker 5: So I don't think they, you know, I think that's like,
1:55
Speaker 5: it fizzled down.
1:57
Speaker 1: Because too many people are co-signing the story.
1:59
Speaker 5: Too many people co-signing the story.
2:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:01
Speaker 5: I know it sounds incredible. I know it sounds like
2:04
Speaker 5: too much, but it really happened. And so that's why
2:09
Speaker 5: I always knew the podcast would work, the Joe and Jada,
2:12
Speaker 5: because I knew.
2:15
Speaker 2: I'm a shit talker to the max.
2:18
Speaker 5: And then Jada top five, so it was just so
2:20
Speaker 5: much authenticity.
2:23
Speaker 2: That I was just like, oh no, this gonna go,
2:26
Speaker 2: this gonna go.
2:26
Speaker 1: How did that combination come together, you and Jada?
2:29
Speaker 2: It was a rock nation thing. You know, you down
2:31
Speaker 2: with us. I work with Jada.
2:32
Speaker 6: I see what you mean.
2:34
Speaker 7: Ah!
2:34
Speaker 2: Ah! Hey, yo, listen.
2:39
Speaker 5: Listen, let me tell you something. I look to the
2:41
Speaker 5: side all the time. I see a little fat kid,
2:44
Speaker 5: little black boy, little Spanish boy walking with their moms,
2:48
Speaker 5: and I be like, yo, that could be Obama.
2:50
Speaker 2: That could be Jay-Z. That's who we was. Begging our
2:54
Speaker 2: mothers for a little Mr. Softy. Ma, please, ice cream.
2:58
Speaker 2: And then we did what we did.
2:59
Speaker 5: So you got to work and get your paper however
3:02
Speaker 5: you're going to get your paper. So I can't be
3:04
Speaker 5: here with people pointing... fingers at yo you get money
3:08
Speaker 5: with this one you give it yo just give thanks
3:11
Speaker 5: we get money.
3:12
Speaker 3: Exactly i'll be trying to figure out i'm like how
3:14
Speaker 3: fat joe be escaping the rock nation allegations.
3:19
Speaker 7: They jump over me and they go to you but
3:23
Speaker 7: you know i'll take a lot of you know i'll

3:29
Speaker 7: be fat joe like you.
3:30
Speaker 5: Yeah whoa like this shit is Crazy, the way they
3:35
Speaker 5: be dissing me.
3:37
Speaker 8: About the stories, but not about Roc Nation stuff.
3:39
Speaker 2: No, just about everything. If I put up Twitter, they'll
3:42
Speaker 2: be like, this fat mother's a lesbian. Fuck his father. Like,
3:47
Speaker 2: this is... Oh, my God. Know the world. I guess
3:51
Speaker 2: y'all don't look at y'all stuff.
3:53
Speaker 7: No.
3:53
Speaker 2: Because y'all definitely get something.
3:54
Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no. They be trying to.
3:56
Speaker 8: I got a 27 people. I don't even be the
3:57
Speaker 8: stuff that Charlamagne say.
3:58
Speaker 4: Not like I used to. I used to be, man,
4:00
Speaker 4: shooting back.
4:01
Speaker 2: But they used to be trying. Oh, you used to
4:03
Speaker 2: shoot back?
4:03
Speaker 4: You already know. But now I just don't. Because I'm like,
4:06
Speaker 4: everything don't require a response.
4:08
Speaker 5: I also think that what I have learned. So you
4:12
Speaker 5: talking about to a guy that was pre-social media. So
4:15
Speaker 5: I had to adjust. A lot of guys from my
4:19
Speaker 5: age group don't even know how to go with that
4:23
Speaker 5: because they old school.
4:24
Speaker 2: So they're like, yo, where you at? I'm pulling up.
4:27
Speaker 2: Shoot up the block.
4:28
Speaker 1: Yo, this, that.
4:30
Speaker 2: And they don't know. These guys are just.
4:32
Speaker 5: And then I realized after maybe like 10 of those
4:36
Speaker 5: that I responded to nobody people.
4:38
Speaker 1: And they come.
4:39
Speaker 2: You believe he responded to me? That's their reaction.
4:41
Speaker 1: That's all they want.
4:42
Speaker 2: That's their reaction.
4:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
4:45
Speaker 2: Yo, let's talk tonight. Fat Joe responded.
4:47
Speaker 5: I said, no, I said you're nobody. One time on
4:50
Speaker 5: the thing, and they make a whole chapter. Trilogy 24.
4:54
Speaker 5: Fat Joe responded. And I'm like, yo, you know what?
4:57
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's hard. Because sometimes, you know, can I curse
5:04
Speaker 5: on the air? Sometimes it's a real shit show out here.
5:06
Speaker 2: Hip hop?
5:07
Speaker 1: Word up.
5:08
Speaker 4: Holy Christ.
5:09
Speaker 1: I keep hearing you say that on the pod. I
5:10
Speaker 1: want you to elaborate.
5:11
Speaker 2: Like, what?
5:12
Speaker 5: It's a shit show going on out here with everything. Like,
5:16
Speaker 5: you know, one minute, you know, we love Lil Durk.
5:18
Speaker 5: The next minute, we think he's snitching. The Tupac trial
5:22
Speaker 5: got me sick. Because everybody's a rat.
5:26
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting here like.
5:30
Speaker 2: Yo, look, I'm too old school.
5:32
Speaker 5: I'm too based off morals and all that. I'm looking
5:35
Speaker 5: at this trial. The guy on.
5:37
Speaker 2: Trial is a rat.
5:38
Speaker 5: He flew to New York with a Y in the
5:41
Speaker 5: feds to get Von Zip. The guy's telling on him.
5:44
Speaker 5: They're all OGs. They're all like killer king of all
5:49
Speaker 5: and they're getting up there.
5:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you told five times.
5:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did.
5:54
Speaker 2: I'm Big Johnny. I'm Big Will. I can't believe what's
5:57
Speaker 2: going on in all these Situations and trials.
6:00
Speaker 3: Was there ever really a code when it comes to snitches?
6:02
Speaker 4: All the way.
6:03
Speaker 1: What used to happen to snitches back in the day?
6:05
Speaker 2: Snitches got stitches.
6:07
Speaker 5: And there was a huge code. I know crews that
6:11
Speaker 5: went to jail and gave a 40, 50 deep in
6:14
Speaker 5: the 80s that nobody told. They did their time. They
6:17
Speaker 5: came home. You know, legends of the street. You know
6:21
Speaker 5: what I'm saying? But apparently, I'm really confused. You know,
6:25
Speaker 5: when I go to heaven, because I'm... Damn sure trying
6:29
Speaker 5: to go.
6:29
Speaker 2: To heaven, right?
6:30
Speaker 5: And when I go to heaven, you know, I want
6:32
Speaker 5: to figure out if I did it right. Did I
6:35
Speaker 5: live by the right morals and code? Because I believed
6:37
Speaker 5: in certain morals and codes. And it looks to me
6:43
Speaker 5: like nobody... I'm looking at the gangster. This guy was
6:46
Speaker 5: a gangster. He was a shot caller of all shot callers.
6:49
Speaker 5: The man, it seems like he... deliberately got himself locked
6:55
Speaker 5: up to take credit for killing Tupac. I really honestly
6:57
Speaker 5: believe that.
6:59
Speaker 2: I think he did it. Like, I think he's forcing
7:03
Speaker 2: himself in jail for Tupac. You know, he found a
7:05
Speaker 2: shrine in his house.
7:07
Speaker 5: Who's killing somebody and then keeping the articles in it?
7:12
Speaker 1: Serial killer type shit.
7:14
Speaker 2: Well, he told on everybody. So then where's the code?
7:18
Speaker 5: The guys coming up there telling on him, they're the
7:21
Speaker 5: OGs of all OGs.
7:23
Speaker 2: I might be confused on this Game of Life.
7:27
Speaker 3: I was with Erica Ford the other day, and she
7:30
Speaker 3: was telling a story about y'all, you, Tupac, Biggie.
7:34
Speaker 1: Was that a park or something?
7:35
Speaker 2: Queens.
7:36
Speaker 5: She threw it like a peace day. And we was
7:40
Speaker 5: out there. You know what I'm saying? Erica Ford was really,
7:43
Speaker 5: really tight with Tupac. Tupac was really from the city
7:47
Speaker 5: and in the city. Like, I would bump into Tupac
7:50
Speaker 5: beating up guys on 125th, the bootleggers.
7:54
Speaker 2: I seen him fight an African with a sword.
7:56
Speaker 1: The African pulled.
7:58
Speaker 5: Out the sword, and Tupac took it from him. See,
8:01
Speaker 5: this is the type of stuff.
8:02
Speaker 2: I say that you want to believe. It's a fact.
8:05
Speaker 8: On 125th, when it was the bootleg season.
8:12
Speaker 5: You heard the un got stabbed for bootlegging, right? People
8:15
Speaker 5: really took this seriously. You know, Who Kid got kidnapped
8:18
Speaker 5: by puns for bootlegging.
8:20
Speaker 2: People were really, Biggie was looking for Clue for bootlegging
8:24
Speaker 2: with the hammer. Yo, Joe, where he at?
8:25
Speaker 5: Yo, I said, I don't know. Clue just walked past me.
8:29
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my God. But bootlegging was a
8:32
Speaker 5: big thing. So Tupac, one day, I'm on 125th, and
8:38
Speaker 5: he's beating up all the bootleggers that he's walking through.
8:41
Speaker 5: Mind you, The white man who owned the record labels
8:45
Speaker 5: were the guy's bootleg in.
8:47
Speaker 2: The music anyway.
8:49
Speaker 1: Really?
8:49
Speaker 4: Yes!
8:50
Speaker 2: They were behind the whole bootleg stuff.
8:53
Speaker 5: So he's walking with his... One African wasn't going for it.
8:57
Speaker 5: He pulled out the sword. Pac still beat him up.
9:00
Speaker 5: Pac beat the shit out of him.
9:02
Speaker 6: You know how dumb you got to look to pull
9:03
Speaker 6: out a fucking sword and a nigga take it from
9:05
Speaker 6: you and still beat you up?
9:06
Speaker 1: No, he beat him up.
9:07
Speaker 2: You know, I.
9:08
Speaker 4: Damn.
9:09
Speaker 3: You know, I'm... He did that to an African? He
9:11
Speaker 3: ain't be like, yo, my brother, I hate to do
9:12
Speaker 3: this to you or nothing. He just put the beats
9:14
Speaker 3: on him.
9:15
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't his fault. They bootlegging.
9:17
Speaker 1: So we were.
9:18
Speaker 5: Brainwashed to think. They're the enemy because they're bootlegging our music.
9:23
Speaker 5: You know, we put energy, we put our life, we
9:26
Speaker 5: put our pain, we put everything into this music, and
9:29
Speaker 5: then somebody's bootlegging it. It doesn't matter. It's just that's
9:33
Speaker 5: what they were selling. You know, like the Latinos were
9:36
Speaker 5: selling oranges on the highway. The Africans were selling the
9:39
Speaker 5: bootleg tapes. Pac was just doing what we all did.
9:44
Speaker 2: But it was just one day I seen him fight
9:46
Speaker 2: somebody with a sword, you.
9:47
Speaker 1: Know, Tupac. How did you... if you realize it was
9:50
Speaker 1: the white people behind the bootleg at the record label.
9:52
Speaker 5: Well, eventually we all found out. I remember one day
9:55
Speaker 5: I was talking to Rest in Peace K.
9:56
Speaker 1: Slade.
9:57
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, K, how do you get this?
10:00
Speaker 2: so early?
10:01
Speaker 5: He says, well, you know, when you go to master
10:04
Speaker 5: your album, you know the nice white guy? He calls
10:07
Speaker 5: us and we give him 500. He gives us your
10:09
Speaker 5: whole album.
10:10
Speaker 2: I'm like, and it's.
10:11
Speaker 5: Just different ways. And then the record labels was doing
10:13
Speaker 5: it too. You know, at the end of the day,
10:17
Speaker 5: the consensus.
10:18
Speaker 2: Is They were bootlegging the joint.
10:21
Speaker 5: Selling stuff out the back door and all that. Just
10:23
Speaker 5: seeing that, it's crazy, man.
10:25
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
10:29
Speaker 6: On this album, you got my cousin Pusha T, Young Miami, Jadakiss,
10:33
Speaker 6: of course, your sister Remy, and Stove Guard Cooks and
10:36
Speaker 6: a lot of other people, right? All on one album,
10:38
Speaker 6: produced by Kool and Dre. How did you figure out
10:41
Speaker 6: this is the crew you wanted to land on?
10:43
Speaker 4: Why so specific? How did you get all of them?
10:45
Speaker 5: I don't even know, because if you see the joint
10:47
Speaker 5: of Roma, that's M.O.P. in the front going, yo, yo, yo, yo.
10:50
Speaker 5: And so when the album starts, we got Raekwon talking.
10:53
Speaker 1: Crazy.
10:54
Speaker 2: Over the skit. Then we got Nas and Enzi, Yo
10:56
Speaker 2: and Quint.
10:58
Speaker 5: I just felt like giving you voices that you know
11:01
Speaker 5: that really put in this pain in the game.
11:04
Speaker 2: And everybody, CeeLo helped me out. You know, CeeLo. Wow.
11:07
Speaker 2: To me, you know, CeeLo, he's a monument. You know
11:13
Speaker 2: what I'm saying?
11:13
Speaker 5: So it's like we got a bunch of, you know,
11:16
Speaker 5: of course, the Youngboy Stove Guard Cooks superstar.
11:21
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And so we just.
11:24
Speaker 5: You know, at this point right now, I just wanted
11:26
Speaker 5: to make an album strictly for the streets. You know,
11:30
Speaker 5: I ain't reached to make no hit records or nothing
11:33
Speaker 5: like that. It's just straight pain and real talk. You know, so,
11:39
Speaker 5: you know, everybody on that album is authentic. You know, everybody,
11:43
Speaker 5: you know, I had to get one in with Remy.
11:45
Speaker 5: I really loved that song. And Kool and Dre executive produced,
11:48
Speaker 5: they have a lot of, you know, all the time
11:51
Speaker 5: I go, you know, when somebody says, what have I,
11:53
Speaker 5: I go, me, I think of the hits, this, this, that.
11:57
Speaker 5: So Dre's new punchline is, because we talk 20 times
12:00
Speaker 5: a day, nah, Joe, you did it all, man.
12:02
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it. You made the beat. You made
12:03
Speaker 2: the hook. You made the dance.
12:05
Speaker 4: Don't worry, Joe.
12:05
Speaker 8: That's you, Joe.
12:06
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, Dre.
12:09
Speaker 5: You know, so Kool and Dre, you know, I wouldn't
12:10
Speaker 5: even be in this position if it wasn't for Kool
12:12
Speaker 5: and Dre.
12:13
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
12:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
12:14
Speaker 5: It's pretty crazy when you got some guys that you
12:17
Speaker 5: discovered that keep you.
12:19
Speaker 2: In the game all these years later. So, you know,
12:21
Speaker 2: the album is retarded.
12:24
Speaker 1: I like what you, go ahead.
12:25
Speaker 8: I was going to say, you get really personal yourself though, right?
12:29
Speaker 1: Two plots.
12:31
Speaker 2: Man, that's so real.
12:33
Speaker 8: Yeah.
12:35
Speaker 9: I guess, first talk about your decision to even kick
12:37
Speaker 9: off the project that way. We've seen you, like, you know,
12:40
Speaker 9: you posted when your mom passed away. We hear you
12:42
Speaker 9: talk about, you know, some of the struggles that you
12:44
Speaker 9: go through with your family, but on the record, it's
12:46
Speaker 9: like you almost need to vent a little bit. Like,
12:49
Speaker 9: this is the other side of Fat Joe that just
12:51
Speaker 9: needs somebody to hear him real quick.
12:52
Speaker 1: Oh, not just your mom. You lost your mother, your father,
12:55
Speaker 1: your brother, all within like a year and a half, right?
12:57
Speaker 7: Yes.
12:58
Speaker 2: It was crazy.
12:59
Speaker 5: So what, you know, I know every rapper says they
13:02
Speaker 5: never told this story, but I really technically didn't tell
13:04
Speaker 5: this story.
13:05
Speaker 2: So, you know, my parents were dying. They were in different.
13:11
Speaker 2: Rooms, you know, shout.
13:12
Speaker 5: Out to the hospital in Coral Springs. They really helped
13:19
Speaker 5: me a lot. But my father was in one room
13:22
Speaker 5: and my mother was in the other room.
13:23
Speaker 2: Wow.
13:24
Speaker 5: And they were like fragile and they had I don't
13:26
Speaker 5: know if it was, I don't think it was COVID,
13:28
Speaker 5: but it was like pneumonia on steroids and it was
13:31
Speaker 5: contagious and you couldn't be around one or the other.
13:34
Speaker 5: You couldn't this, this, that. Meanwhile, little Joey is sick.
13:37
Speaker 2: In the crib. They had like some real powerful.
13:40
Speaker 5: And so I'm in there every day with my family,
13:45
Speaker 5: my wife, we all there every single day, but it's
13:48
Speaker 5: just like, and then they just kept having realer and
13:51
Speaker 5: realer conversations with me. They were like, you know, your
13:54
Speaker 5: father's going to pass away. Well, what could we do?
13:56
Speaker 5: You know, I got sisters. You know, my father's Cuban,
13:58
Speaker 5: so I got like 13 brothers and sisters. So I
14:01
Speaker 5: got one sister that was like, oh, no, we.
14:05
Speaker 2: Putting them on a vet. We'll keep them for four
14:08
Speaker 2: years on a machine. I'm like, yo.
14:09
Speaker 5: And I love how she loved my dad, but I
14:12

14:14
Speaker 5: ain't doing that. You know, we not going out like that.
14:17
Speaker 5: Little dad, me and mana, I love her. And I
14:20
Speaker 5: know how much she loves my dad, but it was
14:22
Speaker 5: like real... All this.
14:25
Speaker 2: Is going on. Like, you know, and I'm going from
14:27
Speaker 2: room to room.
14:27
Speaker 5: I'm not telling my mother that my father's in the
14:31
Speaker 5: hospital because my mother was like real fragile, but she
14:34
Speaker 5: lasted more than him.
14:35
Speaker 2: He passed.
14:36
Speaker 4: Oh, so they didn't know.
14:37
Speaker 2: She didn't know that he was. No, he kept asking
14:40
Speaker 2: for her. My father's whole life was little Joey and
14:46
Speaker 2: my mom's. So, you know, I.
14:48
Speaker 5: Don't care what state he was in. He kept going, Ruby, Joey. Ruby,
14:54
Speaker 5: she's in the other room. I couldn't tell her because
14:56
Speaker 5: I swear to God, I don't know if you've seen
14:58
Speaker 5: somebody and shout out to all the health professionals because
15:01
Speaker 5: I know y'all deal with this every day, but she
15:03
Speaker 5: was on a thread.
15:05
Speaker 2: Like I never, you know, my mom's cancer survivor. She tough.
15:09
Speaker 2: She's ready for work.
15:11
Speaker 1: Ready for war.
15:12
Speaker 5: I've had literally beefs, physical beefs, that my moms was like,
15:16
Speaker 5: all right, we going to war, what's up?
15:18
Speaker 2: My mom from the project, project.
15:21
Speaker 5: She was weak. So I'd never seen her like that.
15:24
Speaker 5: So she was like, you.
15:27
Speaker 2: Know, I love you. You know you take care of Joey.
15:31
Speaker 5: And I was just like, oh my God.
15:33
Speaker 2: So you know what I'm saying?
15:34
Speaker 5: I had her live with me when she came out
15:37
Speaker 5: the hospital. She was with me for like six months.
15:39
Speaker 2: I bought her a new house. got her the flowers,
15:42
Speaker 2: everything she likes. She liked purple flowers.
15:44
Speaker 5: So I got her all the perfect flowers, the fly crib,
15:47
Speaker 5: and then she passed away too. So it was like,
15:49
Speaker 5: every week was like a funeral for me. And I'm
15:53
Speaker 5: not going to lie to you, to everybody out there,
15:58
Speaker 5: you know, the one fear I always had, because they've
16:00
Speaker 5: tried everything on me.
16:02
Speaker 2: Like, I mean, you could say I cap, whatever the
16:04
Speaker 2: case may be.
16:05
Speaker 5: They literally tried to kill me on this earth maybe
16:07
Speaker 5: a hundred times, shooting at me every day like it
16:09
Speaker 5: was for free.
16:10
Speaker 2: Yo, let's just shoot him.
16:11
Speaker 1: I read the book a whole lot.
16:12
Speaker 5: No, no, let's just shoot him some more. Like, hey,
16:15
Speaker 5: let's go. The guy's at free lunch.
16:18
Speaker 2: Let's shoot him some more. Hey, let's cut him. You
16:21
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? So, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
16:25
Speaker 5: The trauma I've dealt with is out of this universe.
16:30
Speaker 5: And that's what you hear on that two plots. And
16:33
Speaker 5: so what happens is... You know, my mom's passed away.
16:38
Speaker 5: I always thought that was going to be the thing
16:40
Speaker 5: that make me snap. Like the people you see on
16:43
Speaker 5: the street talking to themselves. Like for years I would
16:46
Speaker 5: look at them and I always knew, damn, if my
16:49
Speaker 5: mom's die, I'm going to be like them.
16:53
Speaker 2: I always knew it.
16:54
Speaker 5: I always looked at them and said, yo, I might
16:57
Speaker 5: be with one of them because I don't know why.
17:00
Speaker 5: And then thank God he gave me the strength that
17:02
Speaker 5: when she passed and my father passed and my brother passed,
17:05
Speaker 5: my brother died on Thanksgiving.
17:06
Speaker 4: Come on.
17:07
Speaker 1: I didn't know that for the album. I mean, I
17:09
Speaker 1: knew he had passed, but I didn't realize it was
17:10
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day.
17:11
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving, we had the biggest spread.
17:13
Speaker 5: Everybody's in the house. They call me panicking. Yo, your
17:16
Speaker 5: brother died. I got to go over there and.
17:21
Speaker 5: And wait till whatever, the coroner come. You know, they
17:24
Speaker 5: take hours and hours and hours and hours and hours.
17:27
Speaker 5: So you there with the dead body and you there,
17:30
Speaker 5: it's sad.
17:30
Speaker 2: I had to call my nephew, shout out Junito. You
17:33
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? I had the big boy stuff.
17:36
Speaker 5: And so that's why you see me when I celebrate
17:38
Speaker 5: at a party, you see I'm smiling, I'm drunk, I'm
17:43
Speaker 5: having the time of my life because when you, you're
17:46
Speaker 5: almost like the guy, this is where Fat Joe gets
17:50
Speaker 5: dramatic and they say he throws salsa on it. But
17:52
Speaker 5: you know, I almost felt like the guy with no
17:56
Speaker 5: legs and, Forrest Gump that was up on top of
17:59
Speaker 5: the boat.
17:59
Speaker 2: Come on! And it's raining and Captain Dan. Come on!
18:05
Speaker 5: That's how last year felt to me, you know, with
18:07
Speaker 5: all the stuff that was coming at me and everything.
18:09
Speaker 2: They was trying to, you know, knock me off the block.
18:13
Speaker 5: So it was like, you know, thank God I'm still sane.
18:15
Speaker 5: So when I throw a birthday party, I'm going to
18:18
Speaker 5: do it to the max. We're going to have.
18:20
Speaker 2: A good time.
18:21
Speaker 1: Dance in one place. It ain't enough space.
18:23
Speaker 2: Dancing in one place. Shout out to L.A. Love. I
18:25
Speaker 2: got that from DJ L.A. Love. I went to the
18:29
Speaker 2: Queen of Harlem's birthday party, which ran packed. And my brother, L.A.
18:34
Speaker 5: Love, he was one of my first DJs, and he
18:36
Speaker 5: was like, it ain't no space, just dance in place.
18:40
Speaker 2: It ain't no space, just dance.
18:42
Speaker 4: And I was like, yo, that's so.
18:43
Speaker 2: Dope. So at the end of the song, shout out
18:47
Speaker 2: to Steve Mackey. Oh my God. You didn't have that
18:50
Speaker 2: boy sound like James Ingram. I love Steve Mackey. Yep,
18:52
Speaker 2: you can sing. He sound like James Ingram.
18:53
Speaker 4: Sing his ass off.
18:54
Speaker 2: No, this is out of control.
18:56
Speaker 1: I thought it was a sample at first.
18:58
Speaker 5: No, what happened was I wanted Michael McDonald. So I
19:01
Speaker 5: reached out to him and Michael McDonald, probably the coolest
19:05
Speaker 5: white boy ever sung in history.
19:08
Speaker 2: So I heard it like that. And so I reached
19:12
Speaker 2: out to his people.
19:12
Speaker 5: They was like, yo, he's on tour, you know, to
19:15
Speaker 5: like October with the Doobie Brothers. So I called Steve because,
19:18
Speaker 5: you know, Steve teach the singers. So I said, yo, Steve,
19:21
Speaker 5: let me ask you something. I said, you know, how
19:23
Speaker 5: did you do a Michael McDonnell?
19:25
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, he started doing it.
19:27
Speaker 5: I said, oh, no, I'm saying you didn't join. And
19:30
Speaker 5: he got busy on that joint. But you know, dance
19:33
Speaker 5: in place. Running out of space, just dance in place.
19:36
Speaker 1: I want to ask a question.
19:37
Speaker 3: When you lose that much family that quickly, do you
19:40
Speaker 3: even get a chance to grieve one person?
19:42
Speaker 5: I don't think so. No, I don't think y'all understand.
19:45
Speaker 5: Once again, let me slow it up for you, Charlamagne.
19:49
Speaker 5: My mother's in one room. My father's in the other room.
19:54
Speaker 5: I go in the hospital, and everybody who sees me
19:57
Speaker 5: in the hospital that worked there, they're already sad. They
19:59
Speaker 5: know these guys are gone. We don't know, but they
20:03
Speaker 5: know the process. They already seen this a million times,
20:06
Speaker 5: so they're like... Joe Crack walking in there.
20:09
Speaker 2: They start giving me free lunches in the cafeteria. Nah,
20:13
Speaker 2: take the meatloaf, man. Nah, nah, nah, nah.
20:17
Speaker 5: They like, yo, this guy really in here. Them boys,
20:20
Speaker 5: they going down. Then we got the hospice. So in
20:24
Speaker 5: the hospital, they got a hospice. So you take your
20:30
Speaker 5: father down there and we playing them. You know, one
20:33
Speaker 5: thing I know about music, right.
20:35
Speaker 2: Is that music is so powerful.
20:38
Speaker 5: You know, my mom's at any time I could call her,
20:40
Speaker 5: I don't care where I was at in the world,
20:42
Speaker 5: she was sitting there listening to music. And that's how
20:45
Speaker 5: I learned my music, through my Aunt Barbara, my moms.
20:49
Speaker 2: We was the, I will survive. No.
20:53
Speaker 1: Oh, now, no.
20:54
Speaker 2: Get out the door. Don't turn around now.
20:57
Speaker 5: This is where I grew up.
20:59
Speaker 2: So they played that music.
21:01
Speaker 1: All the time.
21:02
Speaker 5: And some of my father, I played music for him
21:06
Speaker 5: till he passed away, his favorite songs.
21:09
Speaker 2: But it was great. I don't think you get to grieve.
21:12
Speaker 2: I don't think I fully grieved yet.
21:14
Speaker 8: I was going to ask you, do you take time
21:16
Speaker 8: in any of that stuff? Because you're doing so much.
21:18
Speaker 8: I don't take time for nothing. And you got the podcast,
21:20
Speaker 8: but you also got your family. We got to pay bills.
21:22
Speaker 2: We got to go. You know, we feed people every month.
21:26
Speaker 1: I see.
21:26
Speaker 2: I love what you do with the food bank.
21:28
Speaker 1: Thank you, brother.
21:29
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying?
21:30
Speaker 5: And so we created our own pantry where we feed
21:32
Speaker 5: thousands of families every month. So my deal, I have
21:36
Speaker 5: a deal. We God, and my deal is, yo, God,
21:40
Speaker 5: please bless me so I can bless the others. And
21:43
Speaker 5: I really do that. You know, we sent in on
21:45
Speaker 5: behalf of my wife. You know, Columbia had the earthquake,
21:50
Speaker 5: and we teamed up with the people out in Queens,
21:54
Speaker 5: the Colombians in Queens, and the Brownsboro president, and we
21:58
Speaker 5: sent in two airplanes to Columbia full of, like, tons
22:01
Speaker 5: of food and women's hygiene and all that. And so
22:04
Speaker 5: that's my deal.
22:06
Speaker 2: Deal with God. You know what I'm saying?
22:08
Speaker 5: Where, you know, if I do good, I'm going to
22:10
Speaker 5: make sure that people are blessed.
22:12
Speaker 2: So, you know, I'm always, I got to work. You
22:15
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? I got to take care of
22:16
Speaker 2: the people.
22:17
Speaker 6: But do you, is that your way of suppressing it
22:20
Speaker 6: as well? You know, just staying busy purposely? I mean,
22:23
Speaker 6: I know you say you don't have a choice, but
22:24
Speaker 6: you still need Fat Joe.
22:25
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to drive me crazy.
22:27
Speaker 5: Like, I just told you, I really honestly thought you
22:29
Speaker 5: might see Fat Joe on 47th Street.
22:31
Speaker 2: Or something spazzing.
22:33
Speaker 5: Like, there's nothing he could do. I was that scared
22:35
Speaker 5: of my mother. It was the one thing.
22:38
Speaker 8: You can't imagine.
22:39
Speaker 2: They done killed all of my friends. They done put
22:41
Speaker 2: everybody in jail. They done tried everything you could try
22:44
Speaker 2: in the universe.
22:45
Speaker 4: Nothing.
22:46
Speaker 5: I wake up the next day ready. But my mother
22:50
Speaker 5: was the one thing I thought, not to say my
22:52
Speaker 5: father didn't, I love them both. And then my brother,
22:57
Speaker 5: my brother, I looked up, I wouldn't have never been
22:58
Speaker 5: a rapper if it wasn't for my brother. So him
23:02
Speaker 5: passing away was, it was pretty big. I had to
23:04
Speaker 5: go to tell my mother. that my brother passed away.
23:09
Speaker 5: He was her favorite out of all of us.
23:12
Speaker 2: That was traumatizing.
23:14
Speaker 5: That right there was like, so I went through a
23:16
Speaker 5: whole bunch of all that. So that's why two plots
23:19
Speaker 5: feels like that.
23:21
Speaker 1: It's mean.
23:23
Speaker 4: Did it almost not make the album? Because it's heavy.
23:26
Speaker 4: It's personal.
23:27
Speaker 2: No, no, that was on the album.
23:29
Speaker 4: Okay.
23:29
Speaker 1: Probably inspired.
23:30
Speaker 2: Nah, that was on the album. Yeah, I got you.
23:32
Speaker 2: You know, with albums, you know, the way I grew up,
23:35
Speaker 2: you know, the way I understand hip hop, You see,
23:38
Speaker 2: first of all, let me just do, because I told
23:40
Speaker 2: my dentist this yesterday and her crew. I said, when
23:44
Speaker 2: I say it's a real shit show, if I'm driving
23:48
Speaker 2: down the street right now and I see Salt-N-Pepa, that
23:52
Speaker 2: car pulling over and I'm running out. Queen. Oh, Queens. Right?
23:57
Speaker 2: If I see Melly Mel, oh my God.
24:00
Speaker 1: Oh, yo, you.
24:02
Speaker 2: Dougie, whoever. Hip hop to.
24:07
Speaker 5: Us is almost a religion. That's how I grew up.
24:10
Speaker 5: I grew up where it's God, then it's hip hop.
24:12
Speaker 1: I saw Queen Latifah the other night for the first
24:14
Speaker 1: time I bowed.
24:15
Speaker 2: Oh my God.
24:17
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? It froze up.
24:19
Speaker 5: I believe when I listen back to Queen Latifah, I
24:24
Speaker 5: think she influenced early Fat Joe, like my flows and
24:28
Speaker 5: all that. I didn't know it at the time, but
24:30
Speaker 5: you know, with all that, who you calling a bitch
24:32
Speaker 5: and all that? I think I got like my bravado
24:35
Speaker 5: from Queen Latifah years later. When I was listening to
24:38
Speaker 5: her music, I was like, yo, you might've jacked some
24:41
Speaker 5: of Latifah.
24:43
Speaker 2: Latifah flows, like, you know.
24:46
Speaker 5: But this is what I'm saying, right? And so we
24:50
Speaker 5: respect this culture. And we put in our time making
24:54
Speaker 5: this music and all that. And so we want others
24:57
Speaker 5: to respect it too.
24:59
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
25:00
Speaker 5: So when I say that it looks like there's no
25:04
Speaker 5: respect in the game, there's no nothing going on out here, it's.
25:09
Speaker 2: Really concerning to me for the future of hip hop.
25:12
Speaker 2: Of course, we cool. We found the lane. Let me
25:14
Speaker 2: tell you something. You know what was my happiest day
25:16
Speaker 2: this year? Could you guess? What was my happiest day?
25:20
Speaker 4: Your birthday party.
25:21
Speaker 8: The next one.
25:22
Speaker 4: Oh, damn, right.
25:23
Speaker 8: That or something. I was just going to be that
25:25
Speaker 8: or something with your daughter. When she did the declaration,
25:26
Speaker 8: she mad at me.
25:27
Speaker 4: So I was trying to. Right, the championship.
25:29
Speaker 2: My bad, though. The day they said this man made
25:32
Speaker 2: $ 29 million.
25:33
Speaker 8: It was 27, but then it's another 200.
25:36
Speaker 2: Yes, no, it's 229 million. Oh, no, no, no, no.
25:40
Speaker 2: The day this man made $ 27 million, yo, bro.
25:46
Speaker 5: Oh, you and Joe, but not seeing them numbers, I
25:48
Speaker 5: said I'm in the right game.
25:51
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep pushing. I'm going to keep going.
25:54
Speaker 2: These guys did it. I'm going to do it.
25:56
Speaker 5: And that's how I've always been my whole life. I've
25:58
Speaker 5: never dealt with jealousy. I've never dealt with hate. My
26:01
Speaker 5: thing was always inspiration.
26:03
Speaker 1: Right.
26:04
Speaker 5: And so that's what we're doing out here is we're
26:05
Speaker 5: inspiring the people. You know, when I'm out in my
26:08
Speaker 5: community and I open businesses in my community and I'm
26:11
Speaker 5: out there giving food back to the people, I'm showing
26:15
Speaker 5: our other brothers and sisters that might just get a
26:17
Speaker 5: good job and make it.
26:18
Speaker 2: Because everybody's like, yo, I want to get up out
26:20
Speaker 2: the hood. Understandable.
26:22
Speaker 5: You ain't got to live in the projects your whole life.
26:25
Speaker 5: But this is your community and don't forget your people.
26:28
Speaker 1: That's right.
26:28
Speaker 2: Try to help them.
26:29
Speaker 5: So that's all we try to do is like, You know,
26:31
Speaker 5: when I'm feeding the people, it ain't just feeding the people.
26:34
Speaker 5: It's inspiring Jim Jones to feed the people. It's inspiring
26:39
Speaker 5: all the other rappers. Yo, yo, you see crack feeding
26:43
Speaker 5: the people. Let's feed the people.
26:44
Speaker 1: You've been doing that for years. I remember you took
26:46
Speaker 1: the plane to Puerto Rico and all of that.
26:47
Speaker 2: Four planes.
26:49
Speaker 5: We sent a million pounds to Puerto Rico. Four planes.
26:53
Speaker 5: And we always, you know, it's what it is. You
26:56
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying? I grew up, you know, really, really, really,
27:00
Speaker 5: really poor.
27:01
Speaker 2: And, you know, my community took care of me. You
27:04
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying?
27:04
Speaker 5: When we ain't had no food, the lady make me
27:06
Speaker 5: the pork chops before I stopped swine.
27:09
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? They make me the chicken wings.
27:11
Speaker 5: You know, the thing about Fat Joe is anybody who
27:15
Speaker 5: has ever given him a glass of milk got it
27:18
Speaker 5: back 50 times.
27:20
Speaker 1: Anybody.
27:20
Speaker 5: I don't care if it's a lady that used to
27:22
Speaker 5: give me chicken wings. Somehow, 30 years later, they got
27:25
Speaker 5: a touch of me. They said, Senora, such and such died.
27:27
Speaker 5: Could you pay for the funeral?
27:29
Speaker 2: I paid for the funeral.
27:31
Speaker 5: Every time, anybody that ever took care of me, you know,
27:34
Speaker 5: recently I got a brother that looked out for me.
27:40
Speaker 5: So you say Big Pun, right? So Big Pun, his
27:42
Speaker 5: biggest song, which I'll tell it, his biggest song was Joe,
27:46

27:50
Speaker 5: 500,000 records first week. He was the hottest guy in
27:54
Speaker 5: the universe. And I call Kedar Massenburg, because I know
27:58
Speaker 5: him through his brother, Stetsa Sonic, and And I'm like, yo,

Speaker 5: But recently he hit me up and he was like, yo,
28:23
Speaker 5: I heard you cool with such and such and such
28:27
Speaker 5: and such.
28:28
Speaker 2: It's the plug.
28:29
Speaker 5: It's the one you don't introduce people to, right? I
28:34
Speaker 5: went right on that thread. Hey, this is my brother Kedar,
28:39
Speaker 5: very good friend for many, many, many years.
28:41
Speaker 2: Plugged him in.
28:42

28:44
Speaker 5: be doing some big business.
28:46
Speaker 2: Right? Big business.
28:48
Speaker 7: But.
28:49
Speaker 2: That's how somebody gives me a glass of milk. Yeah.
28:52
Speaker 5: No matter what, they come back and they get their
28:55
Speaker 5: 50 glasses of milk. You know, that's how that thing goes.
28:58
Speaker 5: So that's what it's all about. You know, too much,
29:00
Speaker 5: you know, in hip hop has always been a crabs
29:04
Speaker 5: in a barrel. It's always been the guys who were
29:08
Speaker 5: successful never really taught us. You know, we had to
29:12
Speaker 5: learn everything.
29:12
Speaker 2: Even you.
29:13
Speaker 1: So the guys that came before y'all never taught you?
29:14
Speaker 2: Never taught us.
29:15
Speaker 1: Wow.
29:16
Speaker 2: So even though we love them and all that, but
29:19
Speaker 2: they never taught us. They might have inspired us.
29:21
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they knew what y'all knew,
29:22
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, though.
29:24
Speaker 2: What you mean? They didn't know we didn't know it?
29:26
Speaker 3: No, I think that y'all are like the first generation
29:29
Speaker 3: of moguls that we saw in hip-hop.
29:32
Speaker 2: Puff Daddy.
29:33
Speaker 1: Diddy, okay, okay, yeah.
29:34
Speaker 5: Diddy, I sat down with him one time, and he
29:39
Speaker 5: said to me, he saw Motown as a kid. He
29:45
Speaker 5: saw Motown and he watched what they did and he.
29:49
Speaker 2: Was always a kid saying, They could have sold colognes.
29:53
Speaker 2: They could have sold clothes. They could have sold liquor.
29:56
Speaker 2: He said he.
29:57
Speaker 5: Saw everything they did and was like, all right, so
29:59
Speaker 5: when I get popping, then he knew.
30:04
Speaker 2: I don't care who else. I could tell you who knew.
30:08
Speaker 5: Who came here with the strategy, I say it all
30:10
Speaker 5: the time. Me, I'm giving you the sneaker, you my brother,
30:13
Speaker 5: this and this and that. Hopefully some of your fans
30:15
Speaker 5: will buy the sneakers. Puff Daddy had me in Sean
30:18
Speaker 5: John head to toe drinking Ciroc in every video and
30:21
Speaker 5: I did not know I was promoting this shit so
30:24
Speaker 5: he could make a billion dollars.
30:26
Speaker 2: And I'm like, throwing the shirt up, he knew. Like, so.
30:31
Speaker 5: Now, there's way too many examples for the youth not
30:36
Speaker 5: to get to the back. You know, I met this guy.
30:38
Speaker 5: The guy came up to my show. I can't believe
30:40
Speaker 5: we didn't show it yet. The Rod Wave.
30:42
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
30:43
Speaker 8: I thought I just saw a preview of that for y'all.
30:46
Speaker 2: Smartest guy I ever met in my life.
30:48
Speaker 1: Sat down with him a couple weeks ago.
30:49
Speaker 5: How about he's the first rapper in history that made
30:54
Speaker 5: me feel dumb?
30:56
Speaker 1: Really?
30:57
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see my face on this.

31:14
Speaker 5: school hustler.
31:16
Speaker 2: Smart.
31:17
Speaker 5: So I'm sitting there, he's like, yo, it's just business, bro.
31:21
Speaker 5: And I'm like looking at him and he was describing
31:24
Speaker 5: something that took me all these years to figure out.
31:27
Speaker 5: Like I just recently figured something out in business that
31:31
Speaker 5: I was like, okay, So, all right, that man said
31:35
Speaker 5: it at 27 years old. I'm looking at him, I
31:37
Speaker 5: felt so stupid. I'm curious to see my face.
31:39
Speaker 4: What was it?
31:40
Speaker 2: Nah, I can't tell you. I can't let everybody know.
31:44
Speaker 2: I can't let everybody know, but it's on there.
31:46
Speaker 1: You know, he promotes concerts. He was promoting the Kanye concerts.
31:50
Speaker 2: Kanye West. Yeah.
31:52
Speaker 5: He went from being an artist, I'm still getting paid
31:55
Speaker 5: to do these shows. Yeah, have I promoted stuff?
31:57
Speaker 2: Not like that. But I put, you know, I started
32:00
Speaker 2: Memorial Weekend in Miami, throwing the parties, Jeezy in one club,
32:04
Speaker 2: Fab in one, me in pool party, this, this. So
32:07
Speaker 2: I did all that on a lower scale.
32:09
Speaker 5: But with the thing he's talking, it was like a
32:14
Speaker 5: whole week talking about how smart.
32:15
Speaker 2: This kid is.
32:16
Speaker 1: He doing movies and everything too? He buying scripts?
32:18
Speaker 2: Not his guy.
32:18
Speaker 1: Rod is that guy. No.
32:20
Speaker 5: He's intelligent on another level. Like, I've never been intimidated
32:25
Speaker 5: by somebody. I hang out with billionaires every day. I
32:30
Speaker 5: just couldn't believe he was 27. And he was just so, like,
32:33
Speaker 5: he's going to end up the richest guy in hip-hop history,
32:38
Speaker 5: this guy Rod Wave.
32:39
Speaker 3: Well, see, that's why I always tell Rod, that's who
32:42
Speaker 3: the younger generation should be looking at.
32:43
Speaker 1: Guys like him. Because he got it figured out in
32:46
Speaker 1: a different way.
32:47
Speaker 3: And he's not messy. Like, he mind his business. You
32:50
Speaker 3: don't see him all over social media doing dumb shit.
32:52
Speaker 1: It's just music and business.
32:54
Speaker 5: Listen, kids, study Rod Wave. That guy there is beyond intelligent, man.
33:00
Speaker 5: Like I said, you know, Another thing I'm telling everybody
33:04
Speaker 5: is don't try fentanyl.
33:08
Speaker 2: Yeah. It feel too good. What? Fentanyl.
33:12
Speaker 1: You did it? Yeah.
33:14
Speaker 2: Why?
33:14
Speaker 9: I didn't know there was a way to do it
33:16
Speaker 9: and not live after.
33:18
Speaker 2: To live?
33:19
Speaker 8: I mean, because people- Oh, no.
33:22
Speaker 2: Look, we're not promoting. The other day, I went anesthesia.
33:28
Speaker 5: Like, so I'm nervous, this, this, that. And so the
33:31
Speaker 5: doctor says, I'm gonna give you something to take care of.
33:33
Speaker 5: I don't know what he give me.
33:35
Speaker 2: Peaceful guy. I mean, it's like a shade. It just
33:40
Speaker 2: comes down that quick. And I never felt better in
33:44
Speaker 2: my life. I never got high in my life. So
33:46
Speaker 2: I didn't know what did I feel like. So I'm like,
33:50
Speaker 2: oh my God. So I'm thinking, no!
33:53
Speaker 1: No!
33:55
Speaker 5: You know, I always looked at people who got high
33:57
Speaker 5: like they weak. Like, with all my stress, we just
34:01
Speaker 5: talked about trauma. I never smoked a cigarette, blunt, none
34:06
Speaker 5: of that. I don't hit the booze when I get home.
34:09
Speaker 5: I'm strong.
34:11
Speaker 2: Man, that fentanyl. Man, that shit just, it just came down.
34:16
Speaker 2: I said, I didn't know.
34:19
Speaker 5: So when I wake up, the guy says, you know
34:22
Speaker 5: what I gave you? You know, before you went to
34:25
Speaker 5: sleep this night? I said, no, he said, fentanyl. I said,
34:29
Speaker 5: why this nigga told me this shit? Like, I don't
34:32
Speaker 5: want to know that was fentanyl.
34:34
Speaker 2: It's so addictive.
34:36
Speaker 4: Now Joe did fent.
34:38
Speaker 2: Now Joe did fent. Now for about a week or two,
34:40
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that fentanyl, right?
34:44
Speaker 5: He's that addictive. And you talking to the guy who
34:48
Speaker 5: never used drugs in his life. And so you don't
34:51
Speaker 5: never even want to touch, when they say don't touch
34:54
Speaker 5: that one time, don't touch that one time. And parents
34:58
Speaker 5: that never got high like me, We up against a
35:02
Speaker 5: lot because if you're trying to convince your son not

Speaker 1: Trim Fire.
35:26
Speaker 5: Trim Fire to Fentanyl is a big jump.
35:30
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something.
35:33
Speaker 8: Every time I hear about Fentanyl, people was not coming
35:35
Speaker 8: back from it.
35:35
Speaker 2: Oh, no, they died. It's a very dangerous.
35:39
Speaker 2: It's a very dangerous drug.
35:40
Speaker 4: But your doctor gave it to you.

35:44
Speaker 1: than the street shit.
35:45
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
35:48
Speaker 5: I've just learned I'm able to look at the other side.
35:53
Speaker 5: I've never been, you know, I've always been the vendor.
35:56
Speaker 5: I've never been a consumer. I never understood why these
35:59
Speaker 5: guys are buying this stuff. But once they gave me that,
36:03
Speaker 5: that shit was like, It took about two weeks to
36:06
Speaker 5: wear out for me to not be.
36:08
Speaker 2: Like, I don't want no more fentanyl.
36:09
Speaker 4: God damn.
36:11
Speaker 5: And I'm not the guy that gets hot. So a
36:13
Speaker 5: guy like me thought about, you know, I'm going on
36:15
Speaker 5: a plane. I said, damn, if I had a little
36:17
Speaker 5: fentanyl right.

Speaker 1: Now, I wouldn't be scared.
36:19
Speaker 2: No, man, stop.

36:47
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Pun. I see you
36:49
Speaker 1: with the Pun chain.
36:51
Speaker 3: You've carried Pun's name for like 25 years, right? Does

36:58
Speaker 2: Nah. He's just my brother and I love him.
37:00
Speaker 5: And the happiest I've ever been on earth is with

42:33
Speaker 5: I can throw in there.
42:34
Speaker 4: Right?
42:34
Speaker 2: It's one of them days. There's nothing to eat.
42:37
Speaker 1: Right.
42:37
Speaker 2: I hear somebody crying.
42:40
Speaker 1: Like, ah!
42:41
Speaker 5: So I happen to be a dumb guy because I
42:44
Speaker 5: don't know how to cook. I got a machete cutting
42:46
Speaker 5: a little apple or something. So I got a machete
42:50
Speaker 5: in my hand. I'm only 12. And so I come
42:53
Speaker 5: outside and this girl we grew up with, Jehovah's Witness.
42:58
Speaker 2: I'll say it, Dee Dee. I never say her name.
43:00
Speaker 2: I never put her in the book. And she's on.
43:04
Speaker 5: The floor with the groceries rolling down. And she got
43:08
Speaker 5: her hands like in her middle section. And you look
43:11
Speaker 5: and it's this cock diesel guy that obviously came out
43:15
Speaker 5: of jail today. You know, when they just come out
43:18
Speaker 5: of jail and they walk around the hood, you could tell.
43:20
Speaker 5: This guy just came home. Like, there's no, summertime, just
43:24
Speaker 5: came home. Well, you know, where I'm from, we was
43:27
Speaker 5: used to that. But he just came home. So I
43:29
Speaker 5: look at him. I run up on him. I hit
43:31
Speaker 5: him with the machete.
43:32
Speaker 2: Bang on his arm. He had like.
43:36
Speaker 2: Not a tank top, but like a tank top.
43:38
Speaker 1: Whatever.
43:39
Speaker 2: I hit him. Boom! So he runs.
43:42
Speaker 5: This is how I know he ain't from my projects.
43:43
Speaker 5: He overran the exit down the stairs. So now he's
43:48
Speaker 5: in the corner, almost like a mouse with a cat.
43:50
Speaker 5: And I hit him on the other side.
43:53
Speaker 2: Boom! Now he like.
43:56
Speaker 5: But then I think he realized, yo, this is a
43:57
Speaker 5: little fat 12-year-old. So he jumps at me. I jumped
44:01
Speaker 5: to the moon.
44:02
Speaker 4: I was like, oh!
44:04
Speaker 5: I jumped so far. Then he figured the stairs and ran.
44:06
Speaker 5: Thank God he ran down. But I never told that
44:10
Speaker 5: story because she's such a decent girl and she told
44:12
Speaker 5: me not to tell it. But I told my mans that.
44:16
Speaker 5: So at my brother's funeral, the whole hood shows up.
44:20
Speaker 5: She shows up and starts talking.
44:22
Speaker 1: In front of the.
44:23
Speaker 2: Joey... You saved me, Joey. When the man was trying
44:29
Speaker 2: to rape me, I'm looking at all these guys. I'm like,
44:32
Speaker 2: try to tell you. It's the girl. This, this, that. 30,
44:36
Speaker 2: 40 years later. I didn't even know she was still alive. Joey,
44:39
Speaker 2: you saved me. You saved me. But it's just a
44:43
Speaker 2: true story.
44:44
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
44:45
Speaker 1: Damn, that's amazing though.
44:47
Speaker 8: I don't even know how we got this.
44:50
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
44:50
Speaker 4: How did I get this? I want to know about
44:51
Speaker 4: Charlamagne on the plane.
44:53
Speaker 5: Well, Charlamagne and all, he was talking crazy. That shit
44:57
Speaker 5: just did it.
44:59
Speaker 2: Why are you going to do that? The man feeds you.
45:01
Speaker 5: I ain't going to talk to a man with $ 27
45:03
Speaker 5: million like that.
45:04
Speaker 9: He need to tap on his little lips sometimes. He
45:07
Speaker 9: feed me, but he puts me through hell.
45:08
Speaker 1: I want to know.
45:10
Speaker 2: What happened?
45:11
Speaker 4: I want to know like Joe, what's up?
45:12
Speaker 5: I think he had said some stuff about us and
45:14
Speaker 5: then we just so happened to get on a plane
45:16
Speaker 5: to North Carolina.
45:17
Speaker 1: No, this was great.
45:18
Speaker 3: I wrote it in a magazine, Ozone magazine. And it
45:21
Speaker 3: was a hip hop critique.
45:23
Speaker 2: I love this brother, so I'm glad nothing ever happened.
45:26
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
45:27
Speaker 8: No, he needed a little text. But wait, you wrote,
45:29
Speaker 8: what did you say?
45:30
Speaker 1: Right. This one here, I came out with Pass and
45:33
Speaker 1: Revolve It.
45:33
Speaker 2: Well, you said I was black or something?
45:35
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
45:35
Speaker 2: I said- Now, don't do that. Why y'all doing that?
45:37
Speaker 7: Because- He wouldn't know.
45:38
Speaker 2: He just keep it funny.
45:40
Speaker 3: I said, why are hip hop guys like Fat Joe
45:43
Speaker 3: doing down south music?
45:45
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is the digging in the crates guy.
45:46
Speaker 2: I was in Miami.
45:48
Speaker 4: Oh, I get it now. No, no, no.
45:50
Speaker 2: I was there.
45:51
Speaker 5: For the inception, you know, I put DJ Khaled on.
45:55
Speaker 5: We put Rick Ross on. I got Pitbull his record deal.
45:59
Speaker 1: That's a fact.
46:00
Speaker 2: I'm down there, you know, with the guys.
46:05
Speaker 5: And New York City had felt so, you know, G-Unit
46:09
Speaker 5: against this. They talk about they smacking Nas' cool feet.
46:12
Speaker 5: It was just so much disrespect. So I moved to
46:16
Speaker 5: Miami and all we had was love. Everybody had love.
46:20
Speaker 5: And I'm glad that, you know, I experimented with different
46:24
Speaker 5: sounds early.
46:24
Speaker 2: Make It Rain.
46:25
Speaker 1: Make It Rain was a hit. Absolutely.
46:27
Speaker 5: Everybody in New York was mad at me.
46:29
Speaker 2: Like, yo, why you rapping? Scott Storch ain't want to
46:32
Speaker 2: do Make It Rain for me. He told me the
46:33
Speaker 2: same shit. Yo, you digging in the craze. How you
46:36
Speaker 2: going to rap today? I said, yo, bro, if it
46:38
Speaker 2: ain't this, it ain't hitting. You know what I'm saying?
46:40
Speaker 5: I went around the whole country on a tour. I
46:42
Speaker 5: think I was hosting a Budweiser tour, like, after the games.
46:46
Speaker 5: And they played... The rock building's in the building. And
46:50
Speaker 5: that was number one at the time. And the DJ said,
46:54
Speaker 5: we're going to throw it back and threw that on.
46:57
Speaker 1: Damn.
46:58
Speaker 2: That's how much it was like.
46:59
Speaker 1: Yeah. The South, yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:01
Speaker 2: You know, the South, that bounce.
47:02
Speaker 5: So I went back the next day and I was like, yo,
47:05
Speaker 5: we got to make one of these.
47:06
Speaker 2: He said, you crazy. I was like, no. I said, Scott,
47:09
Speaker 2: if you don't do it, somebody else going to do it.
47:11
Speaker 2: I'm doing the beat.
47:12
Speaker 5: Like, I know what's popping out there. And I think
47:15
Speaker 5: I got that type of thing for life. You know
47:17
Speaker 5: what I'm saying? Like when you hear this album, it's
47:19
Speaker 5: Fat Joe. It's Fat Joe the gangster, everybody. So it's like,
47:24
Speaker 5: ain't there but 2026. And so, you know, we know
47:27
Speaker 5: how to, you know, adjust with whatever the sound is.
47:30
Speaker 5: But this album right here, you know, you've been complaining
47:33
Speaker 5: about you want that real.
47:35
Speaker 2: This is that real. Not from me, from anybody. Shout
47:38
Speaker 2: out to the gang. I love the Games album. Game
47:41
Speaker 2: album dope.
47:42
Speaker 1: Busta album dope.
47:43
Speaker 2: Busta album dope. Rick Ross album dope.
47:46
Speaker 1: Rick Ross album dope.
47:46
Speaker 5: So, you know, we've been putting it out, you know,
47:51
Speaker 5: The OG's been putting some joints out there so you
47:54
Speaker 5: can vibe to Rhapsody, join us, dope.
47:55
Speaker 1: Rhapsody, join dope.
47:56
Speaker 2: Rhapsody, play me a joint.
47:59
Speaker 9: So you was upset at the take, but other people
48:01
Speaker 9: were throwing that at you. Throwing what?
48:03
Speaker 8: Why you keep coming back to this?
48:05
Speaker 6: You saw him on the plane, you saw him and
48:08
Speaker 6: then what happened?
48:09
Speaker 8: We beat people up.
48:10
Speaker 2: We beat people up. We seen Charlemagne.
48:15
Speaker 5: We already knew he was probably going to beat him
48:16
Speaker 5: up when he get out.
48:18
Speaker 1: Right.
48:18
Speaker 5: Because it's a federal thing. And he had a hoodie
48:21
Speaker 5: on and he was walking. And I told the fellas,
48:23
Speaker 5: I said, yo, you know what?
48:26
Speaker 2: Let him go.
48:26
Speaker 1: And then years later, he told me, he was like,
48:28
Speaker 1: you know, we almost got you in the bathroom. He
48:30
Speaker 1: thought I.
48:30
Speaker 2: Had seen him. I had seen him.
48:32
Speaker 3: I didn't know he knew me.
48:35
Speaker 5: I saw him. So what happened is, back to your story,
48:40
Speaker 5: how I spot you. When I was younger, when I
48:44
Speaker 5: was very young. I'm in high school. I'm the high
48:46
Speaker 5: school bully. You know the story. I robbed everybody, right?
48:49
Speaker 2: They know.
48:50
Speaker 5: You don't see none of them students from that school
48:52
Speaker 5: saying they ain't getting robbed.
48:53
Speaker 2: Them niggas got robbed. Now, listen. So, one day, one
48:58
Speaker 2: of my boys come with a 40-ounce. Y'all know what
49:01
Speaker 2: that is?
49:02
Speaker 1: Yes.
49:03
Speaker 2: 40-ounce, and he says, yo, let's drink. I never drank
49:06
Speaker 2: in my life or nothing like that. So, I drink
49:08
Speaker 2: it with him. Right?
49:11
Speaker 5: And now, I'm like, Yo, let's go to the handball
49:15
Speaker 5: court because all the girls be in the handball court
49:17
Speaker 5: playing handball. So we go over there. I disrespect a girl.
49:22
Speaker 5: When I say Simone Walsh. And the dude stuck up
49:25
Speaker 5: for her and beat me up. And I never got
49:29
Speaker 5: beat up. So I'm like trying to figure out, yo,
49:31
Speaker 5: why I can't fight this guy back? So I sit
49:34
Speaker 5: down on like the gate of the park and I'm
49:37
Speaker 5: looking at everybody laughing at me. And I didn't like
49:41
Speaker 5: the feeling. I was just looking. I said, yo, you drunk, man.
49:45
Speaker 2: You played yourself. That's what happened.
49:48
Speaker 1: You drunk.
49:49
Speaker 5: Next day, I came back. Man, I gave it to
49:52
Speaker 5: that guy so legendary in front of the night.
49:55
Speaker 2: I mean, beyond legendary. I can't even tell you what
49:57
Speaker 2: I did to this guy in front of everybody. But
49:59
Speaker 2: the point was, I never got high, never drank, never
50:03
Speaker 2: got high again. And I knew your job. If your
50:05
Speaker 2: job is.
50:07
Speaker 5: To have beef with everybody every single day. You cannot
50:11
Speaker 5: be drunk. Because they turn the corner, they're going.
50:15
Speaker 8: To kill you.
50:16
Speaker 4: Why was that your job?
50:19
Speaker 5: I woke up every day for violence.
50:24
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
50:25
Speaker 5: I used to get bullied, and then when I became
50:30
Speaker 5: that guy, It felt like the girls liked me.
50:34
Speaker 2: It's unfortunate. It's the same cycle.
50:35
Speaker 9: That's why you don't like bullies now, though, right? That's
50:37
Speaker 9: why you don't like bullies now, though.
50:39
Speaker 2: Oh, no. I confront bullies all the time. They can't
50:41
Speaker 2: bully me. It's impossible. You know, it's impossible.
50:45
Speaker 9: Not you, but a little segue. You said that Drake
50:48
Speaker 9: was a bully because he benched Khaled.
50:50
Speaker 2: Nah, I don't do that with Drake, man. I love Drake.
50:53
Speaker 5: I try to fix that with him and Khaled or
50:55
Speaker 5: whatever they got going. Khaled's my brother, so we're going
50:59
Speaker 5: to stand on ten toes.
51:01
Speaker 2: At all times. That's just what it is here. And then,
51:06
Speaker 2: you know, loyalty is the brand. 100%.
51:08
Speaker 5: TS equals loyalty. If you fight Fat Joe, the lady
51:13
Speaker 5: who cleans the house is gonna come at you with
51:15
Speaker 5: a butter knife.
51:16
Speaker 2: Everybody goes, right?
51:18
Speaker 1: Yeah.
51:19
Speaker 5: And so, what I do is, I've always loved Drake.
51:23
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying? And, you know, Cal is
51:26
Speaker 5: my brother. He's my best friend. So, it's like, You know,
51:29
Speaker 5: I just try to fix that.
51:31
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
51:32
Speaker 5: I try to, like, throw an olive branch, do whatever
51:35
Speaker 5: I could to just be like, yo.
51:37
Speaker 2: You know.
51:38
Speaker 8: Did it work out? Did you fix it?
51:39
Speaker 2: I don't know. I know I went to Toronto and
51:41
Speaker 2: got welcome texts and all that. I was out there
51:45
Speaker 2: in Toronto. Yeah, but still.
51:47
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I got the, yo, welcome to
51:49
Speaker 5: the city. You need anything?
51:51
Speaker 4: This, this, that.
51:52
Speaker 7: From Drake?
51:53
Speaker 5: Nah, but, you know, close affiliates. So there is no,
51:57
Speaker 5: you know, I never disrespected him. I actually got super
52:00
Speaker 5: love for him.
52:01
Speaker 9: Did you think that it was going to be different
52:03
Speaker 9: because of that take? Because I don't think your take
52:04
Speaker 9: was disrespect for anything to him. It was just like,
52:06
Speaker 9: we know Khaled is like your guy. So, like, what
52:09
Speaker 9: did you think was, like, you thought it wasn't going
52:11
Speaker 9: to be like a welcome text when you got to Toronto?
52:13
Speaker 2: No, I didn't think that. I'm just saying, whatever.
52:17
Speaker 5: I don't know how people feel or how people think
52:19
Speaker 5: or how people respond or whatever the case may be.
52:22
Speaker 5: My thing was like, you know, my thing is, you know,
52:25
Speaker 5: Khaled don't rap.
52:26
Speaker 2: Khaled don't diss. Khaled is with his kids. Khaled is
52:29
Speaker 2: who he is. Okay, guys? So I don't care what
52:33
Speaker 2: you think.
52:33
Speaker 8: It's always love.
52:34
Speaker 2: It is.
52:35
Speaker 5: It's always love. He's always with his kids. He's always
52:37
Speaker 5: with his family. He's always helping people. He's always this.
52:41
Speaker 5: So what I meant by that, by saying bullying, which
52:45
Speaker 5: wasn't probably the best way to describe it, was like, yo,
52:48
Speaker 5: you know this guy.
52:50
Speaker 2: You know Khaled ain't gonna beef with you or.
52:51
Speaker 1: Nothing like that.
52:52
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? So it's like, you know,
52:56
Speaker 2: that's what I meant.
52:56
Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.
52:57
Speaker 3: Jada did have a point though. We don't know the reason.
52:59
Speaker 3: Like you don't know why Drake feels that way.
53:01
Speaker 4: Rob Markman, Jr.
53:01
Speaker 5: How about if I do know the reason is I
53:05
Speaker 5: want everybody to be unified. Especially when you see guys
53:10
Speaker 5: that came from nothing, who made it, who got money,
53:13
Speaker 5: who got influence, who got this.
53:15
Speaker 2: That shit is over. You know what I'm saying? So
53:17
Speaker 2: we got to show unity amongst everybody.
53:21
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying? That's where I'm at with it.
53:23
Speaker 5: I did everything the other way. You know, I've been
53:26
Speaker 5: 50 since seven years. I did everything.
53:29
Speaker 2: You could possibly, every beef you ever imagined, I'm in it.
53:34
Speaker 1: Right?
53:34
Speaker 2: And it's like, what is that about?
53:38
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
53:38
Speaker 2: Right now, life is so precious.
53:42
Speaker 5: We just talked, we opened up with so much depth
53:45
Speaker 5: that life is so precious that I realized we got to.
53:48
Speaker 1: Appreciate every single second. Absolutely.
53:51
Speaker 2: Every Chick-fil-A nugget you eat. No, I'm telling you.
53:55
Speaker 4: Damn right.
53:56
Speaker 2: Every Chick-fil-A.
53:57
Speaker 5: Shout out to Cat's Deli. Shout out to Patsy. Shout
54:00
Speaker 5: out to Caribbean Soul. They catered my party. So we

Speaker 2: You wanted pizza. Patsy Pizza, the best pizza in New York.
54:10
Speaker 2: You wanted Cat's Deli.
54:12
Speaker 4: What did you eat, though?
54:13
Speaker 2: I didn't eat nothing.
54:14
Speaker 5: I was so drunk, right? I got so drunk, and
54:18
Speaker 5: I stood in this fly hole. You know, when you
54:20
Speaker 5: got 27 million, you might stay. You know the Baca rap?
54:23
Speaker 2: He know. So I'm in the Baca rap, being sweet.
54:26
Speaker 5: So I get all my shit all fucked up.
54:29
