00:56 I love this shit man, because like, when you think about it man, you got like, like I love to reinvent myself, you know what I'm saying.
01:03 I love to like, let's say like, say like that boom, popped off boom, I'm a platinum, I remember I sold the main records at 19, like you know what I'm saying,
01:12 I'm a platinum, I was mainly about 22, so as we started going and shit, boom.
01:17 My whole part of business, you know what I'm saying, was not ready to jump out, like I ain't gonna lie, how can I say it, I never would sell my soul or throw my soul away.
01:29 So any questions that anybody would say like, yo, we heard that this, yo, we heard that, yo, we heard that, um, them niggas trying to do this, yo, we heard that this, that, that, that, ain't nobody doing nothing,
01:38 but we heard that, they fucking with that, yo, we heard that, we heard that, that, that, that, that, that.
01:44 Like I said, I would never sell my soul for anything, that's why I'm here so pure, and I got this good music for you right now.
01:50 What was it like being 19 years old, getting that money, were you reckless or no?
01:56 Of course.
01:57 You must have been mad reckless, right?
01:59 Think about it man, only other job I had was hustling man, right at home.
02:04 Thank God though, right?
02:05 Yeah, thank God man, thank God I'm not sure.
02:07 Imagine, imagine if you weren't where you were, could you?
02:11 My whole shit was different man, like, we was in war on the street, you know what I'm saying?
02:17 We was in war on the street and I remember the two guys that said, yo, why don't you come up soon and make some music?
02:24 I said, okay, we in war, hmm, let me go try this out.
02:28 Ping, you know what I'm saying?
02:30 So it's just what it is, you know.
02:32 Getting all that, you know what I'm saying, all that, Al Povert, all the money, all that, Cassidy Grace, all the car, the money, what niggas ramblin' about, that's where I was going at.
02:39 Yeah.
02:40 So it's in me, so it's like, whatever I do, it is the streets, no matter how I go because I'm the ghetto orphan, that's the difference.
02:49 No parents, just streets.
02:51 So you know, that's who I am.
02:54 You saw the movie?
02:55 Oh yeah.
02:56 How'd you feel about it?
02:57 I liked it, I liked it, I mean, quote unquote, believe it or not, it's funny, actually, my career started with Biggie got killed.
03:05 I made a song, "Grizzly Love Big Papa", the tribute to him, you know what I'm saying, that's where my whole career started.
03:10 That was your first track?
03:11 My first track.
03:12 Wow.
03:13 And it sold four million, my first track, so you know, it was a thing.
03:18 See the thing is, that party at the end and the beginning, we was there, me, Mase, Eloxy, I said I had braids, we was all young and shit, just got signed to Bad Boy.
03:26 So we was like, "Oh shit, it's popping!"
03:28 Went to another party, everybody came, said Big got killed, like "Wow!"
03:32 So you were out?
03:33 We was in LA.
03:34 Oh my God.
03:35 We was at the party, we was at the vibe party.
03:38 We left the vibe party, me and Elox left the vibe party, and Mase, and went to a DJ Kool party up in the hills.
03:47 When we was up in the hills, that's when somebody ran in and said Big got killed.
03:51 That's crazy.
03:52 We got back to the hotel, I remember me and South, right by the door, just like G's, that's what we is, we standing by the hotel room door, like "What's popping?"
04:02 You know, it's just going, "Niggas is shooting, they ain't gonna kill you."
04:06 We had click, click, like "Hold on, what is popping out here?"
04:11 But you know, it was what it was and shit.
04:14 We came back in the plane, we was on the plane, it was like, "Yo man, let's make a tune or something."
04:19 We made the tune, we took it down to Puff, Big Mom, Lil Kim and them.
04:26 We didn't want to throw it out because we didn't want them to think that we were just trying to monopolize the situation.
04:31 That wasn't the situation, we actually felt that shit.
04:34 So we took the song to Puff and them, they heard that shit.
04:38 We probably thought he was going to probably yell at us, but actually they were happy.
04:43 They actually came and gave all those hugs and shit.
04:46 They were happy that niggas did the song.
04:48 They had thanked us, thanked us, thanked us, thanked us, thanked us.
04:51 And actually inspired them to go do "Missing You."
04:53 Well, he even shot a video to that too.
04:55 He wouldn't have done that if he didn't feel that.
04:57 Yeah, yeah.
04:58 After we made "Real is a Living Property" then we made "Missing You," which was the lead single.
05:04 Boom.
05:05 It was "Sting of Faith Heavens."
05:06 So that went out there.
05:08 So it was just a more up-tempo "Real is a Living Property."
05:11 What was Biggie like, the times you met him?
05:14 I met him one time.
05:15 Okay, so what was that like?
05:17 I ain't going to lie.
05:18 I mean, all the niggas chill.
05:19 I ain't going to lie.
05:20 I met Biggie one time.
05:21 I met Biggie one time.
05:22 I came in the studio and I think Puff said, "Yo, that's Grease.
05:26 That's the one who made that beat."
05:28 He said, "Yo, you got some hot shit, yo."
05:30 I said, "Good looking.
05:31 Let me know what you need."
05:33 And that was it.
05:34 Wow.
05:35 Word.
05:36 That was it.
05:37 That's crazy.
05:38 First and only time.
05:39 He said, "Yo, you got some hot shit.
05:40 You're good looking."
05:41 Mm-hmm.
05:42 Word.
05:44 I can't even imagine if he was still alive.
05:46 Yeah.
05:47 I'd probably do this third album.
05:48 Yeah?
05:49 I'd probably just hold that album.
05:50 He probably would have been hosting on Mix Day.
05:52 Right.
05:53 You know what I mean?
05:54 You know what I mean?
05:55 I think about that a lot, you know?
05:56 If Big was alive right now, I would have been doing this third album.
05:59 Uh-huh.
06:00 Word.
06:01 It's fucked up, right?
06:02 Even Pac, you're like, "Damn."
06:04 Yeah.
06:05 I never met Pac, but it's funny as shit.
06:08 A lot of people from the hood knew Pac.
06:12 Wow.
06:13 Well, Pac--
06:14 He's from Poland.
06:15 A lot of people that knew Pac from uptown.
06:17 Pac was from uptown.
06:18 And he was, from what I hear, he used to just crash house parties and chill and party.
06:22 Yeah.
06:23 Two Pac was from uptown.
06:24 Yeah.
06:25 No matter--even when the West Coast Beef guys, whatever, whatever, whatever, Pac knew that
06:30 anywhere in the world or anywhere in New York he was ever good, Harlem.
06:35 Harlem is the Mecca.
06:36 Mm-hmm.
06:37 You know what I'm saying?
06:38 So it's like--it's what it is.
06:39 Like, any nigga, you see, as soon as X came down, first album, "Comfort Zone 129."
06:43 Like, "I'm home, I'm cool, I'm good.
06:45 I don't gotta worry about this shit, I don't gotta worry about that shit.
06:47 Everybody about to get money and wanna get fly."
06:49 That's it.
06:50 Any nigga set trip, they get dealt with.
06:52 Other than that, it's all good.
06:53 It's that shit.
06:54 Like, a lot of New York motherfuckers getting on the same track, you know?
06:57 Yeah.
06:58 I think there's too many egos.
06:59 Like--
07:00 There is.
07:01 You see, like, the South, you have a million people on the same track.
07:03 Yeah, it's motherfuckers new.
07:04 Shit is hot.
07:05 Shit is hot.
07:06 You know what I'm saying?
07:07 And motherfuckers--
07:08 If you think of those records, like, even John Blaze, even, uh--damn, what's that?
07:11 Noi record.
07:13 What's wrong?
07:14 The, um--
07:15 "Bamfingtonia?"
07:16 Yeah.
07:17 Yeah, that's it.
07:18 Like, those are crazy records.
07:19 Mm-hmm.
07:20 Makes you sort of something.
07:21 I think everyone gotta just push his ego to the side and just--
07:24 Yeah.
07:25 Yo, if you could think of the shit, just burn down the track, you know what I mean?
07:28 You know, it's about--it's not about pushing ego to the side, it's about everybody's the same person.
07:33 Everybody's the same person, of course, everybody's got the same ego.
07:36 See, motherfuckers don't take time to be individuals no more.
07:39 You know what I'm saying?
07:40 You see how I broke with X?
07:42 X is X.
07:43 You got niggas who try to be like him.
07:45 You got Jargoes, you got Ransoms, you got other guys who--a thousand niggas who try to be like DMX.
07:51 You know what I'm saying?
07:52 But X is the mold.
07:53 So it's like, "We got that."
07:55 You know what I'm saying?
07:56 Niggas do what they do and shit.
07:57 I fuck with the molds.
07:58 I don't fuck with carbon copies.
07:59 I can't even work with you.
08:00 Yo, I got a hot nigga who sound like Kiss.
08:02 I cannot fuck with him.
08:03 I never come to stand up.
08:05 I'm gonna fuck--how much money you got, I cannot fuck with no nigga who sound like Kiss.
08:07 Why do you even go there?
08:09 Why do you even go there?
08:11 But that's just because there's too many fans that don't want to be fans of you.
08:16 That's the niggas that's cock suckers, man.
08:18 Matter of fact, I got a new word for them.
08:19 It's cock danglers.
08:20 You know what I'm saying?
08:21 And at the same time is that--see, what we got to do, we got to make the people.
08:26 And you know what?
08:27 We got to get a little--we got to take a little--we got to take a--it's funny and shit, because
08:32 we kind of saw this hip-hop shit, but we got to take a little bit of the England-London
08:35 culture of hip-hop.
08:37 You know what I'm saying?
08:38 You know how I fuck with my niggas out there?
08:39 Because they don't fuck with that prosthetic shit.
08:42 You know what I'm saying?
