  Speaker 1: So, Joe, you got these Air Force ones that you
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: dropped off, So tell us about what you're doing with Nike.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: You know what's crazy is the craziest part of the
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: story is so you see, not comparing myself in no way,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: shape or form, but you see how Malcolm X was killed,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: then they made schools after he died.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Martin Luther King, you know he was killed. Now we
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: got a Martin Luther King boulevard, Joe Louis.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: You know, they stressed him to death and then they
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: made highways after him. Well, the guy who actually designed
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: this sneaker from me got fired for designing the sneaker
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: back in the day at nineteen oh yeah, and twenty
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: years later were celebrating the Air Force one.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Wow, you know what I'm saying. That the guy designed
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: and he got fired.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It's just ironic how we celebrate things years later.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: I remember you on MTV cribs showing the TS.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Air Force long time ago. I thought that was official,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: back I was twenty year it was.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: But what happened was I had a guy who was
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the designer of Nike making them for me without permission. Wow,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So he gave me a
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: couple of color waves and all that, and so actually, Virgil,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: right rest in peace, Virgil asked me to do a
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Terror Squad Air Force one because he knew all about
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the coaching and all that. And then he passed away
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: maybe three days later, but he had already told all
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a Nike like, Yo, I'm doing the Fat Joe Terror
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Squad air Force one, and so that like opened the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: door to the discussion where they were like, y'all Virgil
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: was gonna rock with Joe, let's do it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And so you know, I'm out here. I'm in the streets.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm the Maleman. I'm not calm alone, but
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I'm doing that especial delivery all over us.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And you got two colourwaves, right, and they both street.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: We got we got it. This is gonna be the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: New York release.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: The black and white is globally, so you get it, Philippines,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Middle East, Africa, everywhere. And then we got a Friends
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and Family which is a baby pink and great with
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you guys on the list for that as well.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: But I'm just trying to beat everybody to you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I'm us.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I don't feel right if I got something coming out
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and I ain't on my ones and twos promoting I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: got it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: You know, back in the days, we used to pull
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: up on Envy with the white label in the club.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's what I'm doing. It's the same hustle. It's
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: just we're selling a different product.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: What do you think about the sneaker coaching now? Of
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: course you own a couple of sneaker stores, but it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a lot different. You know, back then it was to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you bought sneakers to get fly. Now you gotta kind
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of be careful because people are buying sneakers to make money.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: They're taking it from the kids that just want to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: wear them and charging tripple and quadruple for the sneakers.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Nike won't like my answer, but I'm all about the entrepreneur.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying that them kids stand online
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and they buy a sneaker for a buck fifty and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: they sell it for three hundred. That's done. They not
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: robbing nobody's mother. They're out there hustling, you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying. So they don't they don't like
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: my response.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: You know, I reposted a couple of cats that already
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: had the sneakers.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: They were like Joe. Those are infamous reasons.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Take it down.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with the hype, you know what I'm saying.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: It's like, I'm with the hype.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It's like if I put out a record in the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: DJ in Memphis or Abay Bay is playing it and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I'm reposting. I'm like, you know, I don't know, I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: just reposting the hype. They got the sneakst to they ear.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: It's fly, you know. With me, I'm all about the entrepreneur.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You know, somebody making a couple of dollars who ain't
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: doing no harm than nobody.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: But that's an independent, you know response, not a reflection
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the Nike. They definitely ain't with that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: We were just talking before you walked in.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: How you are clearly probably the best storyteller, not even
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: just in hip hop, just one of the best storytellers period.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Because he was listening to you on rap radar when
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: you were telling the story about being in your mom
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: house and it's just the attention to detail everything. I
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: was in my mother's house about three thinking about retirement,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: shirt off topless.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: You know, my mom's house is still a baby like,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: so no real talk like my mom's house is the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: only place I take my shirt off. Everything I'm in boxes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: my feet is on my mom, bubbing my feet.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I'm home, you know what I'm saying. I'm just home.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to explain it any other way.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: And so and Eminem called and was like, yo.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Bro, you can't retire. You know you can't.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. And that's like big for me.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I look up to Eminem.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You know, he's one of the rap guards to me.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So you know, with him calling me trying to come here,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: and I really gave this thought, Like he said, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: really started listening to all your music and I really
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: He's like, nah, Joe, you still got it now, you
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: can't leave. It was almost like a don't leave, like,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: don't leave us, like he's still in the game.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: That No.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: That was right around the time I had dropped the
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: joint with with Dre, the album with with Dre from
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Cooling Dre. And so he was like, yo, bro, you can't.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: You know, you can't leave the game. You know you
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: got some legends up there.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I'm in that corner.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: He's all Breakfast Club moments, a moment to the breakfast club.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So these are all things that happen on the breakfast club,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the same outfits, the same facial less.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I like.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: You, Big Daddy, Kmee, DMX, Charlie Murphy, Nori, Jennifer Lewis, Ray,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Will Smith.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Mat something happened to think that I have some legendary
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: not shock value, not.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Birdman, respect on my name, not dumb. But I think
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I've come up in here.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: We've done had some legendary conversations, some behind the scenes,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: something on the mic, something on the mic, some behind
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the scenes, but just on the mic. I tell you
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that story about what I told the guy he needs
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: ninety nine more guys in jail.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: That was a legendary story.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Guy. People got to read your book.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: If you think Joe's a great storyteller, read his book,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: The Book of the Book of the Book of Jose.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Jose criminally underrated very much. So you read it and
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: you're like, this couldn't have happened. But then you're like,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: this is Joe.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Probably you know what happened. I tell first of all,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I don't lie.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: That's just just men shouldn't lie unless you're a lawyer.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Because one time I was in the room and they
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: was just lying each other. I wanted to die.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I tried to get out of there. It was negotia,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: You're right, I lied.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, like we're playing these guys to lie to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: each other, right, And so thank you my brother.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: It's all you know.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I don't lie, So I never want to have somebody
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: catch me in the line and be like, yo, this
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: guy's line. So if I say something, I know that
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: eventually somebody would back it up. Somebody will come out
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of nowhere, you know what I'm saying. The recent one,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I'm rapped made out, I said, but with no disrespect,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: because you know I love Drake six god, you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: most consistent. But I told you I called me like
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: three times trying to get on all the way remix, right,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: But being the whole story I had with jay Z,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I wanted it to just be me and jay Z
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: because you know, I never thought in a hip hop
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I never thought Fat Joe and jay Z would do
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a song be myself, right, So I was like, Yo,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: no thanks, but you know I love you brother.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Maybe some other time, please call me now, Drake.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: So it's like, you know, But then I said some
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: normal person to be like, yo, he sounds crazy this
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and this and that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: But I'm sure.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Sooner or later, Drake's gonna confirm the story and be like, yo,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you know I called him.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: You know, you know I want it. And that's it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: All the stories are confirmed. But in the in the book, man.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: That's why I had to write the book, because the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: book was so much transparency.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to leave nothing out.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: The stories before rap the better people.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: To really understand. Ah, there's a lot of rap stories
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: never told. For Fat Joe, that's a whole different, you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: But the stories before rapped, Like when the Ecuadorian kid
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: was trying to kill me, he said eight times in
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: two days, like he was.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: He was letting it go like unbelievable.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: We know he was unbelievable. He was like he was
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: like God, John Wick.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: From Mark for Death, the guy from Mark for Death,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: like rich Richie, remember Richie kept popping up Stevenson call
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: like this guy was trying to finish.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: For no reason.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: So he shot the car up and he was in
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: the car and everybody thought.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I heard the screams like if I was dead, the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: whole building.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yo. Yeah, and we like yo, what's up?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And you know, we try to get him, we couldn't
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: get him. Like this guy he was, he was really,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: he was really something else.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I don't tell too many because you want people to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: go on. You gotta.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: But you know we're doing the series with the Terrero brothers,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Judy Jesse and Kenya. Kenya Barris is actually writing the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: series himself. So that's an honor, you know what I'm saying.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: So we excited about it. But you know, we got
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: this little strike or whatever the case may be. So
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I'm opening and I do, trust me, I do sympathize
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: with everybody striking because you know, some of these checks
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: come through for two dollars, Like I be like Joe
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the time you hosted Wendy Williams two dollars and forty
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: three seconds. I'm like, yo, I would be homeless trying
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: to live on a like a royalty check, a royalty
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: check from from TV or movie. No, it's incredible, be
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: like Yo, sag and I go rush. I opened the
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: check eight dollars nineteen.

• 9:25
  Speaker 5: talk show with Star.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but not really. We still we all in. We
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: shot the first one.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: It's all go. But yes, the strike effects, it's affecting everything.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: You got my girl over there, Bianca beyond everybody.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: You know.
