(ALBUM TALK#8)MR.BARS ON T. M. N.WE BROKE INTO MOBB DEEP MANSION. PRODIGY & NOYD CHAIN GOT SNATCH.

as a rapper right have you heard the perfect rap album hell yeah hell yeah can you give me one I'm going give you one right now I'm not just saying it cuz I'm on the album okay but the agent I see like the greatest album I heard in my life bro okay the greatest album I heard in my life like you know what I'm saying like not for nothing that was from front to back M you know what I'm saying you could listen to every song S no skips right and it's like for for me I know a lot of people would opinions would be different but in my opinion right like you could never get tired of that album incredible album bro hip-hop front to back yeah hell yeah that's a that's a big fact know it's a even the great had skips on their joints right you know what I'm saying where it's like uh I don't want to hear that D you know what I mean go to the next one like that but that album right there right crazy the rappers from the golden era are following some of these Trends right one of them is sitting down and recording a song right or sitting down and recording a project right me personally I think it takes away from hip-hop you know what I'm saying do you sit down and record a song or record a project hell no no hell no I don't do that sit down that is for the birds to me like how you sitting down recording a song you sitting down you comfortable you know what I'm saying you're not really putting your energy into it like you know I'm saying you got to like music is about vibrations you know what I'm saying the energy is transferable so it's like if I'm sitting down and recording it's like you know what I mean like that to me that would be like okay I can see why this song is not really what it is you know what I'm saying it's like [ __ ] stand up like you know what I mean stand up talking to the mic all that sit down like d [ __ ] yeah I be running come to this like what are you talking about do you do you think it takes away from the culture it definitely takes away from the culture because well I'm going to rephrase that yeah I'm not going to say it take away from the culture but it everything Chang with time M you know what I'm saying and that's what type of time it is so it's like yo you know what I mean like speaking from you know looking at both perspectives of the gate like it's like I wouldn't prefer it myself I don't I don't do it myself but the people that do it's that I guess that's what time it is now like you know what I'm saying so it's like to each his own like you want to sit down and record go ahead you know what I'm saying right but it's just it it's just not it's not the same as you know the way that the original way that you know me that artist record you know what I'm saying the first album didn't come out because of the beef with with Jay okay you know what I'm saying um that was the Summer Jam where he bought Michael Jackson out on stage showed the picture of p right you know what I'm saying dance school and all that when he was little and all that and um after that like like the [ __ ] P was just like wild depressed you know what I'm saying like he wasn't wa I'm trying to make the connection though like how did that stop

wasn't smoking no weed he wasn't drinking you know what I'm saying according to him he used to sniff Coke he wasn't doing that no more you know what I'm saying he wasn't doing none of that was mad healthy you know what I'm saying weight up all that rhyming at the F unbelievable level that I've ever heard in my life you know what I'm saying cuz I was theread like that whole time and you know what I'm saying like he was on his health as we cuz you know he had the sickle cell and all that right and so he had a clear mind through the whole time we with each other you know what I'm saying and he was like just basically looking out for us as little brothers like you know what I'm saying from my opinion you know what I'm saying I don't know how that was I don't know how ended up like that but so the [ __ ] got depressed so we went to Long balance wait he got depressed from the Summer Jam screen yeah he got depressed from that in my opinion W in my opinion he got he got depressed from that because after that he wasn't ring the same you know what I'm saying it's like how did you look at how did you look at that back then back then I was ready I was ready for war but I'm saying seeing Prodigy are hearing about him in a dance school right how did you did you look at him different oh no n hell no I looked at him at as the typical eighty old kid right in his era you know what I'm saying yeah that looked up to Michael Jackson [ __ ] I looked up to Michael Jackson too right you know what I'm saying like I might have had on a tight leather you know what I'm saying some penny loafers with the you know what I'm saying with the high waters and white sock sh you know I mean jacket you know what I mean the jacket you know what I'm saying like we all been through that [ __ ] you know what I'm saying but you know it's just like the the from the outside looking then yeah that [ __ ] have get the best of you when you at that type of status like this nigga's proud of you all deep like considered one of the best rappers in in the world at that time right you know what I'm saying so it's like damn this [ __ ] Jake this [ __ ] Jake put me on the Summer Jam screen killed me you know what I'm saying and then like ain't no telling what was going on inside of the industry like you know what I'm saying [ __ ] might have been talking about I'm like yo it's over for you and all that and it's the third you know what I mean like right it was crazy and then mind you the album had just dropped you know what I'm saying and uh in 2000 mhm H yeah you know saying the album had just dropped in 2000 so it's like you know it it was just crazy like it was it was a lot of Mayhem after that like you know what I mean and we ain't you know what I'm saying like we did this songs and all that we was going at State we was going at beanie and everybody that was with Jay at the time like ready we did a freestyle for dwop like that night we heard about Sumer gy at night we was like oh it's on it's lit that's when um P did the over the hell marry beat with um eat money bags rest in peace to them both my guys yeah well yeah that's what they but um Hill Mary beat and me and hooks did a joint over the Shook Ones beat but for some reason I don't know why [ __ ] pulled the plug on the um on the on the freestyle with me and hooks over the [ __ ] ones beat and you know what I'm saying like and I spoke to hooks about it it's like yo now I told him don't put it out cuz we don't we don't want to burn no bridge that we ain't cross I'm like [ __ ] the bridge it's already already already burn you know what I'm saying so it's like [ __ ] it's no excuse for that like you know what I'm saying there was a lot of happen you know what I'm saying without my knowledge like that cuz um the communication failure you know what I'm saying like it wasn't really too much communication between me and hooks with the business you know what I'm saying and P to you know what I mean like P used to put me on everything you know what I'm saying like yo we did this how you feel about this or don't feel a certain way about this or feel a certain way about that so I was just basically like the you know what I'm saying like I was like basically left out for the most part of the you know what I'm saying whole situation cuz it was business decisions that was made without me even knowing you know what I'm saying so just started getting you know what I mean like started getting uous and it's like damn all right now it's over you know what I'm saying like cuz we went let bring it back we went to um long Isen Havoc crib [ __ ] P was in the bed sleep like yo you know what I'm saying like we went to the crib I forgot who answered the door that day we was like yo P here it was just me and hook we pulled up like yo P here he like yo um yeah he upstairs so we go upstairs to the room now he you know what I'm saying to the room that he had in Long Allen mansion and all that and nigas in the bed sleep knocked out we had to wake him up like yo what's up son like what's going on what we doing he's like yo he's like yo I'm G give y'all all y'all music back I'm G give y'all all y'all rails you know what I'm saying let y'all do y'all he's like yo I you know what I'm saying I I can't do nothing else for y'all you know what I'm saying and that's how everything ended then you know like after that they got dropped from the label that they was on I forgot they was on oh matter of fact loud I think turn into SRC right that and you know what I'm saying they they um Steve rien they take them with them a take them to the um switch them take them to the SRC label so they a have no label at the time after that with the Summer Jam screen and all that you know what I'm saying then so we got dropped from Infamous records they got dropped from you know what I'm saying from um well la was transitioning so and La they was La no more so they didn't have a home no more so that's when they put out the uh free agents mixtape at in the winter of 2001 like that you know what I'm saying when we started recording we wasn't on paper or nothing like that we was just like yo let's do it you know what I'm saying like yo we we want to get out the H we want to feed our families like you know what I'm saying let's do it you know what I mean like we ready and you know what I'm saying we got it done we was recording then we bought the lawyer in bought the lawyer in went over the contracts we had signed a uh five album deal okay and the uh it was like like increments where we was on what we was going to be paid so the first one was the for the first album was going to be 50 each your spit uh 50 split 50 to split then it was um 100 and then 250 and then some other like I I just know that went up to 675,000 you know what I'm saying but when you when you 18 years old you like what 675,000 like yeah [ __ ] plus that was the '90s yeah and plus it was the 90s you know what I'm saying so at that time 675 you was through the roof you know what I mean you basically you know what I'm saying start your foundation and all that so it always was like yo all right bet you know what I'm saying let's do it we went through the [ __ ] we was um reading over the contract and uh the lawyer with the lawyer his name is Jack and [ __ ] and we all fell asleep and all that [ __ ] y the [ __ ] was wild crazy we went through most of it but we ain't care because we we we was bonded like family right you know what I'm saying but this was the business side of it this is what we had to do you know what I'm saying to in order to you know I mean have the B you know I mean have the business going the way it's supposed to run and [ __ ] we all fell asleep you know what I mean then woke up and just the [ __ ] like you know what I'm saying like yo this my brother like you know what I'm saying like we had that brotherly love with each other like yo these are my brothers like this is what we doing right I don't give a this lawyer was talking about that's why I fell asleep now I'm up it's right time to sign all right it's time to sign cuz we ready to get it done anyway you know what I'm saying like music was basically a part of our Lives you know what I'm saying right so so y'all didn't understand anything on that contract um besides the money the I mean you know the money part of it was really basically what we was in it for just like every other artist but it like from my perspective it was so much trust in P that he wasn't leading Us in the wrong direction you know what I'm saying but at this point right now from where I see like it's like I don't know if he was trying to be like all the other record labels where they signing artists and they giving them a certain amount of money and then they want to recoup and you know what I'm saying take out for studio time and you know what I'm saying Fe es and upfront money and [ __ ] like that you know what I'm saying like I I don't know if our was like that you know what I'm saying like because from but you see that's why because that's why I asked y'all didn't understand the contract at all right yeah I mean we understood you know what I'm saying like we understood like what we was going to get based on royalties and you know I'm saying like all that [ __ ] like it it was just like the way Rec contracts was basically when he got signed you know what I'm saying cuz the you know I mean we had the entertainment lawyer and all that [ __ ] it was his lawyer you know what I'm saying and the first rule was like yo when you sign with a label you know what I'm saying don't use their lawyer you you use your own lawyer right but we were so firly embedded that it was like all right n we all going like that's your lawyer all right this is our lawyer too so now it's like you know what I mean and the lawyer explained that too he was like yo I'm not just I'm not taking here you know what I'm saying I know both of y'all need a lawyer like don't make like breaking it down to like it don't make sense for y'all to pay a lawyer and then for him to pay a lawyer like when we could just have this right here I don't know if it was Game it could have been game you know what I'm saying I don't know but I just felt like I was in good hands you know what I mean to the point where it's like all right bet what we got to do all right this is what we got to do to get moving on where we trying to go let's do it you know what I'm saying like we going to be together forever like you know what I'm saying that's what I thought at the time but you know so so y signed and the first album was 50,000 yeah we signed the first album was 50 right y was recording that album yeah okay call our it was supposed to be our debut album did you complete that album yeah okay yeah we completed the album um we had the website www Infamous records.com at the time um we had had pre-sales we had pre-sales of [ __ ] 20,000 before the album even dropped right and that was independent you know what I'm saying and that that's when [ __ ] was getting 11 11 12 like all of [ __ ] damn near up to [ __ ] $17 an album depending on who you was at the time you know what I'm saying yeah and that was just independent so you know like to have 20,000 hits like ready for B for the BOS and hooks album independent you know you do the math on that that's 200,000 you know what I'm saying $10 an album you know what I mean so and like that was you know I mean the album was recorded and all that we uh bought in just blaze we had just blaze on the album uh Steve Sola uh Casanova R Who We called Mr beats so hold up hold up so the 50,000 was supposed to pay for these producers in studio time or that was just your uh the 50 yeah that was the advance the 50,000 was the adance what was the album budget the the album budget it was included in uh it was included in in in P's album budget so you know like he basically paid for all the studio time and all that so you know at the end of the day like on a business side he probably would have been like yo this is how many hours y was in the studio whatever the case may be or he would have just been like yo you know we my brothers I you know what I'm saying I did this for y'all now we got this you know what I'm saying now we got this we going to keep it moving forward you know what I'm saying like it wasn't really like recording that album wasn't nothing really about money like you know what I'm saying it was just like this is what we do this is what we love this is where we from like you know what I'm saying right we going we going to carry on the legacy of everybody else that did it before us you know what I'm saying like that's what type of time we was on now when did y'all find out like okay this is going to be deducted from whatever we make you know the studio time that we use um The Producers um [ __ ] CU I'm sure P has to take that back yeah I mean like the the way the way we had everything set up yeah it was like he wasn't going to take nothing from us you know what I'm saying because it's like if that was the case he would have put us he would have let us sign with everybody that wanted to sign us he was like nah you know what I'm saying don't nah don't sign with don't don't don't sign with priority you know what I'm saying don't sign with [ __ ] uh it was a couple of deals we had uh and Tommy Boy was out back then like you know what I mean like uh it was Universal yeah Universal you know what I'm saying he was like yo nah don't you know what I mean he's like nah not you know what I'm saying like they want to sign y'all but it don't make sense like you know what I'm saying because he knew the game already you know I'm saying so like I felt like he wasn't holding us back that he was just looking out for us and telling us like yo we we going to be independent you know what I'm saying mind you this was 99 this was 1999 2000 you know what I'm saying so cash money was already out Master P was already out you know what I'm saying and these are two giants that was killing the game independently you know what I'm saying so we saw it like that like word like we going to be making [ __ ] uh cash money and Master P money [ __ ] so like be like yo let's do it you know what I mean yeah but Little D we know like we you know what I'm saying like you know the game is the game you know what I'm saying it's like either you got it or you don't just like sports and all that like you could play or you can't play you know what I'm saying right so you know that point it was just like yo all right bet let's get it let's you know what I mean let's do it we doing it independent we not signing No Label you know what I'm saying and we was shopping around the labels but for a label deal we wasn't looking for a deal for bars and hooks you know what I'm saying we was looking for a deal for Infamous records so that we could you know what I'm saying open up the floodgates you know what I'm saying that's that's all we was trying to do you know what I mean so P was really like he was he was very hands on with us like he used to come pick us up take us to the studio to the point where it's like he couldn't come pick us up you know what I'm saying so he gave us the whip like yo yeah here's the whip look we going to be recording out here we recording on um in Long Isen on Cherry Valley Road and [ __ ] um I forgot the name of the studio whatever but you know what I'm saying it was industry Studio the big board and all that like it was it was fire man it was it was a it was a good run head [ __ ] in charge right let's talk about uh the album the song Diamond featuring bars and hooks yeah right yeah tell me about that song tell me the day or night yall recorded that song yo that that song was it was like it was meant to be yeah cuz before we even got signed a p we already had this [ __ ] in mind like um it was actually casting over R's idea because we he used to be like we used to be like yo when we drop it's lit like we going on Platinum you know what I'm saying and Mr beats with his music knowledge which is casting over rud the girls I got him locked it up one or two you know what I'm saying like he was producing he produced our whole demo the [ __ ] that got to sign the PE okay you know what I'm saying and he was like nah we ain't going Platinum we ain't going to Gold we going Diamond you know what I'm saying right and we always used to be like you know what I'm saying so ever since like we always used to like just brainstorm was like we going diamond diamond and then you know what I'm saying like I was like oh that's fire so brain I was like we going with diamond diamond it was like oh that got to be a part of the hook like we was always brainstorming and [ __ ] so we came into the uh down going you know what I mean like going down the line like once we got with P um we had um just blaze he had just blaze come through to um produce for the album and at the same time this is when [ __ ] Jay was working on his album it was supposed to be a j album but he made it oh I mean it was supposed to be a Rockefeller album but he turned it into the dynasty okay and that's when he had take over and all that [ __ ] on there right but um and just blaze was like at that time take over was the blueprint oh yeah take over was the blueprint my bad yeah take over was the blueprint um the Dynasty album you know what I'm saying J Blaze was bouncing back and forth between Jay and P and [ __ ] because they both was you know mean working on they album and all that so [ __ ] just blaze coming to liveb he playing beats we here the the the sample the Serita Serita sample we like [Music] oh and then the [ __ ] double back like then I just start going we going diamond diamond was like we like you know what I'm saying like yo this is the beat this is the beat for what we was talking about [ __ ] this is diamond right here [ __ ] we go Diamond [ __ ] this is it right here and after that it was a rap so so take me to the studio session man was all three of y'all in the studio yeah night it was me it was it was it it was daytime it was um it was like right before the summer came and I think I'm going to say like may like it was like May right and we was um we was in soundtrack Studios it was me Mr beats hul p and just blaze and you know the engineer Steve solar you know what I'm saying we all in there and just blaze was playing the Beats we like oh [ __ ] like he he played mad fire for us he even played he even played 1800 Hustler for us okay you know what I'm saying like we to the point where he was like oh we like that you know what I'm saying like we was that too but we had pick like three different beats from cuz we had um we used diamond we used diamond for h& RC and then we had two more Beats from that we was going to use for the bars and hooks album right you know what I'm saying so we was in there we was vibing then you know what I'm saying the diam [ __ ] come on we like we like oh no this is it you know what I'm saying be come on we hear this [ __ ] come on Bo boom and then right away like P just start rhyming to the [ __ ] and we like we like yo bro he like yo nah this is fire he's like yo this is the one this this is the one that's going to introduce y'all to the world like we going to use this for the h& RC album like you know what I'm saying cuz we at that time he had basically just broke the news sour us that we was going to be on the album we ain't know we was going to be on the album right you know what I'm saying so at that time it was like he was like yo this is the one that we going to use for the h&c album right and we was just like we was hyped we was like oh was lit P laid his verse HX laid his verse and then I laid my verse right and then um cuz [ __ ] I I took mad long to write my verse cuz I like yo I got to kill I got to kill I was like I'm not just saying anything on this like this is my you know what I'm saying this is my first impression to the world like I know mad people going to hear this cuz this is Fresh Off The Murder music album you know what I'm saying Mur Murder music Dro and then it was H IC so I'm like yo these [ __ ] just went three times platinum in the street bootleg and two times Platinum you know what I'm saying um as far as like Raa was concerned you know what I'm saying so Murder music sold basically would have sold 5 million albums but it only sold two because of the bootleg you know what I'm saying then HRC was fresh off of that so we knew like we was like oh yeah you know what I'm saying it's lit and you know what I mean and that de was through Sony they gave the [ __ ] 900,000 for that album like you know what I'm saying so he spreaded love though you know what I mean he was like yo it's go time [ __ ] now we got who had the best verse I did n i Ain going front man you know p man P had the best verse man right right you know saying might stepping out the Lamborghini with ashy legs [ __ ] yeah my chain swinging I grab my piece so that [ __ ] though damage the paint sh snacking holding the drink like he he he he smoked that yeah he smoked that and you know what I mean like hooks was you know what I'm saying perfect for the intro and I was perfect for the you know what I'm saying for the outro so you know in that order that's how I would that's how I feel about it like P had the hottest verse hook had the second hottest verse and I had the third hottest verse I just being honest with it you know what I'm saying I a going cuz you know what I mean like yeah but every like to me every line through that song was like memorable you definitely definitely after h& yeah what happened after after that um after h& IC we was running around touring for the album you know what I'm saying doing shows and [ __ ] everywhere you know what I mean like and getting our Buss up even more like cuz we had it had a like where people would have like a little intermission in this [ __ ] and be like yo I want to introduce y'all to my new group that I got coming out soon on inFamous records like everything like with him everything was about about balls and hooks like even though the hnrc was dropping everything was about balls and hooks because he took more pride in having Infamous records than his own album so he basically put us before everything you know what I mean so we had our own set on the shows and all that and he would give us bread for every show you know what I'm saying it was light light little you know saying like little 250 a piece but you know what I'm saying but it was appreciated cuz it's like yo [ __ ] you pay for our plan tickets you know what I'm saying a hotel room all that so it's like yo you know what I mean right revert back to the what we was talking about earlier with recouping and all that probably was like you know what I'm just take the [ __ ] out off the top so instead of y'all get instead of me giving y'all $2,000 or $1,000 to spit a ple a piece I'mma pay for y'all to go everywhere and then whatever's left that's what I'll give y'all for the show which was probably $250 wow a show you know what I'm saying but we did Mad shows right so you know what I'm saying that 250 actually turn in the song So now bars and hooks is making their own moves now you're not signed to Infamous anymore right yeah how far did yall go as a group as far as after Infamous um [ __ ] I mean I I I think in my from my perspective I think we declined from where we was at you know what I'm saying because it was like yo hey we all up here we [ __ ] with Prodigy so it's like we up we we we on the moon you know what I'm saying now we doing our own thing it's like starting all over from scratch again but how you know what I'm saying y already you already have the name out there bars and hooks yeah we had we already had the name out there but y'all didn't really need produ after that right n we didn't need him we did we we didn't need him at all but it's cuz that we uh we had when like like once we found out like everything was done like after the conversation that we had with P when we went to the um long Isen mansion and had a conversation with P was like you know saying a standstill you know what I mean like everything was at the standstill we a really know what was going to go on but it got to a point where the [ __ ] just sto picking up the phone so it's like no more communication and from that we went out there again and we broke into the crib we took mad [ __ ] and you know what I'm saying so once that leaked out into the industry hold on hold on so Prodigy didn't want a relationship at all it was I mean it it was just like he moved on and was just like I you know what I'm saying like I already told y I gave y all y music I already told y'all I'm not [ __ ] with y'all I can't you know what I'm saying like I like I can't work with y'all no more like more basically do you want you know what I'm saying just thinking about it from his side of the story but you know what I mean so but that's what I'm trying to figure out though is it is it he had a personal problem with himself or it's more like okay bars and hooks I got a problem with bars and hooks nah it wasn't it wasn't no problem with bars and hooks it was just like you know him going through what he went through with the [ __ ] beef and you know what I'm saying and trying to make things right with with have cuz him have was clashing right you know what I'm saying him and have was clashing like have was never in the studio with us he you know what I'm saying like we had a meeting one time was like um that's that's have you know what I mean that's just have for you you know what I mean like he I guess you know he was already where he was at and he come from the same place we come from and you know what I'm saying so it it was like but have never really like like he he he cosigned P cuz that was his partner but he was never like on the Forefront of everything or anything and he wasn't even you know what I'm saying like doing nothing behind the scenes right so you know at that time it was just us and P you know what I'm saying like real we out of that whole time we was [ __ ] with each other we probably seen Havoc less than 10 times so let me ask you Infamous Records Was there like a staff or it was just an imprint where P say okay yeah it was a staff it was it was a staff we had uh we had p p was you know what I mean the um ex the exact you know what I'm saying and then we had um rest in peace tahim um my man Little's brother he was the um president M of Infamous records and we had um my man my man t Ray um uh Gotti like it was it was a lot of us like you know what I'm saying but I'm I'm so foggy I can't even go that far back but you know what I'm saying like just the name of few like we had yeah but we had everything set up in the you know what I'm saying in the in the businessman of the way it's like this is who going to play this role y'all going to play this role y'all going to play this role y going to play we had a street team everything you know what I'm saying like just like the labels had at that time so the purpose of y'all somebody breaking into the crib was to prove what um [ __ ] well actually we we pulled up to the crib yeah we pulled up to the crib we knocked on the door yo you know what I'm saying cuz we like yo like we trying to figure out what's going on you know what I'm saying we Ain you know what I mean like so we ain't know what was going on or whatever the case may be so we knocking on the door we twisting the door knob yo yo Yoo it like yo this [ __ ] Ain't here so I'm I'm like hold on let me see something I'm bouncing against the door and [ __ ] I'm like this don't seem too sturdy [ __ ] so I like so I like gave it a like little bump with my back it's like boom and ching ching open okay we in here now so we in there and [ __ ] and [ __ ] we like yo we going to wait for this [ __ ] to come here we going to wait for one of these [ __ ] to get here you know what I'm saying we going to wait for one of these [ __ ] to get here so [ __ ] have come in he think he walking into an empty crib [ __ ] instead sitting on the couch and the [ __ ] was like manad surprised like yo like you know what I'm saying how the [ __ ] yall get in here like type [ __ ] like like [ __ ] where P at like you know what I'm saying like [ __ ] we got to have you know what I'm saying got to have a conversation whatever the case may be mind you like like hold on like cuz I I got to remember that the way cuz I I remember that part where have walked in the crib and we stand you know what I'm saying we sitting on the couch and [ __ ] and [ __ ] came in and [ __ ] um damn that's crazy was it shook or was I mean anybody would be startled walking in their crib and you just see [ __ ] get in your crib like [ __ ] the door was like fu no I mean I mean knowing that y not getting along with Pete you know what I'm saying was he like more shook like whoa you know what I mean right like he was more like in shock like yeah the [ __ ] y'all [ __ ] doing here like you know what I'm saying yeah and was just like you know I'm saying like we had a conversation whatever the case may be and we left so [ __ ] then it was like probably like a week later the [ __ ] hooks was like yo this [ __ ] peeing picking up the phone so we went back out there and he had [ __ ] cuz after after this wasn't the time that we took the [ __ ] out the crib this was the when we Havoc walked in this was the time that we got in the crib and you know what I'm saying nothing was happening so when we then we went back [ __ ] had two pit bulls [ __ ] we went back with the pet bulls soon as we pull up we hop out the pet bulls is barking going off but one um one of my man it was like good with dogs so you know what I mean call the dog down and this time the door was actually open you know what I'm saying cuz you know is out in Long Allen the mini Manion ain't nobody locking their doors out there you know what I'm saying so boom we go we go we get in the crib we running all over the place like we looking through everything like we went through everything wasn't no money in the right was nobody a crib but have had a [ __ ] big [ __ ] water jug bottle full of change [ __ ] took that [ __ ] was like [ __ ] that we taking this money's money yeah money's money we took chair we we took the we took that we took the bar would change we took like most of his studio equipment like had the MP with like disc in it that or [ __ ] that he was working on we took plaes everything and [ __ ] the next day the [ __ ] hooks went and sold the equipment to this dude named Paul Brown that in the hood like you know what I'm saying he good in the hood like he used to sell weed you know step this game or whatever but he had a studio like down the block from the hood not too far from the hood so hooks went to him with the equipment like yo I got out of you know what I'm saying give me whatever he asked for the [ __ ] gave it to him after the [ __ ] hooks left the crib I wasn't aware of this though after the [ __ ] hooks left the crib [ __ ] the [ __ ] uh the [ __ ] that he sold it to calls half on the phone like yo I just bought some equipment off a uh mic and [ __ ] you know what I mean I just bought some equipment off a mic and I [ __ ] I seen a discing here had your name on it it's like yo you know what I'm saying I could just imagine how the conversation went like yo them [ __ ] broke up my crib [ __ ] took everything I like oh those oh he probably was surprised cuz they didn't know that we was the ones that did it you know what I'm saying they was just like oh [ __ ] them got robbed you know what I mean and [ __ ] like from there it it it was it was a rap you know what I'm saying like as like from there it was a rap and then [ __ ] two days after that my um my cousin Bryce Breeze he hit me like yo you got a [ __ ] go in on these [ __ ] like you know what I'm saying he's like you got to get go in on these [ __ ] like [ __ ] on these [ __ ] like you know what I mean I'm like whatever you know what I'm saying let's do it he's like yo I got cut Master SE on Deck he ready to put it out he's like we going to go to the lab over here get the [ __ ] done I'm we going to put that [ __ ] out like just to let everybody know like you know what I mean like [ __ ] ain't [ __ ] with [ __ ] which I think was a wrong move because it's like [ __ ] you know what I'm saying like I still hear this [ __ ] to this day then them [ __ ] Rob deep crib like they put you on you [ __ ] Ain't grateful and all that [ __ ] but [ __ ] don't know the Eternal side of it that caused all this [ __ ] to happen you know what I mean so it was what it was you know what I mean still you know what I'm saying so this is what I'm trying to figure rep right did you feel like you were treated unfairly or the group bars and hooks was treated unfairly like after the the relationship was over why yall wanted to talk to prodigy um [ __ ] we cuz we was like yo bro like we just [ __ ] put in Mad pain like you know what I'm saying we put in Mad pain putting in work we running around like you know what I'm saying and you know at this time [ __ ] was still on [ __ ] head so you know what I'm saying it's like yo bro like you know you got you know like we hold you down through whatever like we held you down to whatever everything in the you know what I'm saying short time span that we you know what I'm saying was running around with each other it's like you know what I'm saying like w bro like don't do this like why you going to do this now like [ __ ] we already reached the to the point where we wanted to be where people already know about us like let's get this bread together like [ __ ] we got a family to feed too right and everything like you know what I'm saying so you know that's what we was trying to get through to him but it it was like no communication no nothing especially after we robbed the crib like we robbed the crib then I did a disc record about them so it was like all right yeah you know what I'm saying like y'all [ __ ] just going you know what I mean it's old for so was it was more than the music yeah hell yeah it was it was more than the music like it was like P was like cuz he had a crib and like like like going out towards the Hamptons and it was like it was like mad way like you'll be on like you on this highway and then you make it right off the highway and then you drive for like two miles and you don't see nothing but trees and dirt roads and [ __ ] and then the first house you see the [ __ ] is like a castle right you know what I'm saying and it's a P crib and you know what I'm saying he was like yo I got [ __ ] six bedrooms in here you know what I'm saying it's just me it was just him uh his wife his daughter and his son you know what I'm saying like they had their own room PE you know they had the master you know I mean then um Shaka and tasa had their own room and he was like yo the other two rooms is for y'all [ __ ] you know what I'm saying but so it's like yo bro like we moving like this you know what I'm saying it's like at the end of the day what happened my [ __ ] like you know what I'm saying like now you just not [ __ ] with us no more like we can't you know mean not going you know what I'm saying n dropped a new so it's like yo but I don't know I think that was more from more more of has doing like yo nah I'm not putting these [ __ ] on the mom Deep album like you did the h& IC album that was your album you did what you wanted to do that's all F Dy but when it comes to m d [ __ ] [ __ ] them [ __ ] type [ __ ] you know what I'm saying so you know and respectfully you know what I'm saying and respectfully cuz it's like you know that's your [ __ ] you know what I'm saying if you don't want something if I don't want something I'm not going to have it you know what I'm saying in my circumference so you know just like all right whatever but that's how the whole that's how everything stirred up like the whole beef and all that and you know eventually like before he passed away and all that [ __ ] like we made it like we we was getting up we was about to start working on some new music and all that and trying to bring everything back together but you know fortunately he he passed away like the year after that and just like when you first heard that he passed away and how he passed away you believe that [ __ ] cuz I didn't I'm like something is wrong here I ain't believe that [ __ ] at all yeah I a believe that [ __ ] at all sh I'm like from a eggshell like yeah seriously you know what I'm saying like I'm like yo n it's no [ __ ] possible way yeah and then even at that point he wasn't you know what I'm saying like drinking smoking nothing nothing like that you know what I'm saying he was smoking bogeys but he was like drinking and smoking weed or nothing like that like he was in tip top shape he just came home you know what I'm saying he was doing good but that CLE sell [ __ ] like that [ __ ] is the like craziest [ __ ] I ever saw cuz we used to go on a visit we used to go visit him in the hospital when he had that [ __ ] and [ __ ] that's that [ __ ] is something different so you know like it I I don't know how it is like with like the eating and all that but you know it was and then he was in Vegas where Pac got killed at and you know what I'm saying it's like yo they knew Pac didn't like the [ __ ] and you know what I'm saying whatever the case may be so was like oh we got you you know what I'm saying and then he was doing a h helan Galactic [ __ ] and all that [ __ ] where he exposing illuminatis and different you know what I'm saying like yeah different because Illuminati is not one [ __ ] you know what I'm saying it's not one entity like it's plural right you know what I'm saying like it's different you know I'm saying Illuminati out there that's what they call to sum it up but it's just different groups of that [ __ ] like you know what I'm saying with that's a part of the masses and [ __ ] like that so I think that P was murdered you know what I'm saying I agree I agree you know what I'm saying and it's crazy because it's like yo like [ __ ] I'm just you know what I mean I'm speaking the truth I'm trying to put the people on to you know what I'm saying what's going on out here so that they have their own entities and you know what I'm saying handle their own businesses and be able to you know take their own families or [ __ ] like that so so what exactly you heard he was in the hotel room um he he choked on the egg um uh what I heard was CU they had a show out there right it was a show they performed they said after he walked off the stage that he um started like you know I'm saying going into convulsions and [ __ ] from the Sickle Cell M so they had to rush him to the hospital and Rush him to the hospital and you know what I'm saying like his Sickle Cell was acting up and [ __ ] so when when he go to the hospital for that he like they kept that [ __ ] for [ __ ] like three weeks minimum you know what I'm saying MH so you know [ __ ] happened with the sickle cell and I heard he was in the hospital and he was eating and he [ __ ] choked on the eggshell like he like or on an egg on a eggshell like on a eggshell egg but I mean it it was like it was like from what like what I heard it was like a eggshell that was left on the egg and you know what I'm saying it didn't go down the right way cuz like when you like when you in the hospital with CLE cell you can't do nothing like you basically [ __ ] paralyzed you know what I'm saying so you got to be fed you know I mean and I'm like yo you know what I'm saying like who the [ __ ] was feeding th you know what I'm saying and and and why you know what I'm saying like this ain't you know what I mean like why the family ain't you know what I'm saying like yo who you know what I'm saying find out who this person is that was feeding him and you know take things according do things according to what happened you know what I'm saying right cuz like that's what I would have did like [ __ ] what show was on the eggshell who was there who who fed him who oh you was the one that was feeding him what happened oh you know I was just feeding them and you know know he choked or whatever the case may be all then it's like all right whatever the case may be but you know I don't know exactly how true it is but from the results that was given back was like yo the cause of death was you know what I'm saying wasn't swallow a egg shell like you know what I mean but that that's how they do man it's a sacrifice man they they sacrificing people man they doing all types of [ __ ] out here man yeah you know what I'm saying it's sad but you know I mean it's like yo did you uh did you go to the funeral yeah okay yeah tell me about that yeah yeah I went I went to the funeral I got there was mad love out there you know what I'm saying like uh I actually got there a little late like after the services and [ __ ] um I got like a little bit after the services like before they open the doors and let everybody out cuz the services was just like basically like um you know mainly family and all that [ __ ] so uh when I got there it was just everybody outside playing h& I uh Murder music the infamous album playing mad PE playing mad PE versus everybody you know I'm saying with they picket signs you know I mean Rest in Peace p and all that [ __ ] and um like like a couple of people was there I ran in a tag um from Smith and Wesson um kiss [ __ ] it like everybody like but those was the two people that I ran into when I got there and then everybody was outside just after you know what I'm saying after everything after the walk through and all that pain their respects and [ __ ] police started going crazy throwing smoke bombs and [ __ ] like y everybody got a clear out [ __ ] got wild with the police after that a couple of people got locked up and [ __ ] and then we we took it to the hood we was on 12 Street just you know what I mean celebrating you know what I mean let's t on uh my Infamous life my Infamous life is there anything in that book that wasn't true cuz there's a lot of rumors around the book this didn't happen that's not true you being from Queensbridge yeah you either seen it or heard it right is there anything in that book that's not true I'm a kid but hunting with you yeah I heard that Pete was writing a book I was like yo that's dope you know what I'm saying different Lane guess you know in the AL let go from a you know going from a rap a rapper to an author it's dope then when the [ __ ] dropped I heard like you know what I'm saying like once the [ __ ] dropped it's like yo P was talkinging about y'all in the book they like word like you know what I'm saying and I just wanted to see you know what I'm saying I just wanted to see my name in the book cuz I that time we wasn't dealing with each other no more so I'm like oh I what yeah and what he said you know what I'm saying I was like oh all right bet you know what I mean what what did he say what can I what what um he was just like um like me and and hooks was you know what I'm saying we didn't listen and all this other stuff like just wild crazy he said something about hooks moms God bless you know what I'm saying and you know what I mean like he just like on that from my perspective he was stating his opinion because it wasn't that wasn't true I know that that wasn't true but I ain't even read the whole book to be honest with you you know what I'm saying like I just read what what he said about us being hardheaded and all this other like just it was but it was minor [ __ ] you know what I'm saying right but for the for the most part uh I know that he was talking from his perspective but you know just like basically stretching the truth mhm on it you know what I'm saying I can't really validate everything cuz I wasn't around him my whole life like P was six years older than me so right you know what I'm saying I was a little [ __ ] to pee type [ __ ] word but but did y'all listen to P though yeah hell yeah absolutely like everything so why would he say that you know what I'm saying um [ __ ] it it would it's basically from my perspective it's like it it it had to be an opinion you know what I'm saying but I'mma keep it all the way 100 like Mike D didn't listen man Mike D did what he wanted to do you know what I'm saying right and he just you know what I mean he was being him you know what I'm saying okay like you know I was I I was more of the more of the the the the like more of the one that was in tune with where we was going you know what I'm saying and Mike D was just like the flashing the you know what I'm saying like oh this is now what never like I'm you know what I'm saying I'm Shing right now [ __ ] like you know I mean I'm I'm doing this I'm doing that and me I was like yo [ __ ] in [ __ ] 10 years I'm GNA be you know what I'm saying right Hell whatever the case may be so that from from that perspective I can understand what he's saying like you know what I mean like yo the [ __ ] don't listen but it's like he added both of us into the equation where in my from my perspective it really wasn't like that you know what I'm saying so I'm quite sure it was a lot of [ __ ] that wasn't true in the book and [ __ ] that was true you know what I'm saying yeah but that's just like it was like based Loosely on the truth got you you know what I'm saying yeah right backtrack right the first record deal was 50,000 yeah right what did you do with your 25 I didn't get my 25 you did sh I didn't get my 25 because we was uh like we only got 25 out of the 50 okay because P was shooting Murder music the movie at that time so the um the director [ __ ] that was doing Murder music the movie had called p on the phone and was like yo I'm in Long Isen I need to meet with you just that the third boom p goes meet the [ __ ] comes back and he telling us like yo this [ __ ] pulled out a gun on me talk him about if I don't give him the rest of his money XYZ this that in the third like you know what I'm saying it's like we was like what like you see like you dead ass like for real we like yo nah nah we was like yo [ __ ] it you know what I mean like we was tight but we at the end of the day we was like [ __ ] it you know what just give him you know what I'm saying and he was asking supposedly he was asking for 25 you know what I'm saying so I I don't know if that was a way to get out of giving us the whole 50 and just giving us 25 and telling us to you know what I'm saying like yo don't worry about it or whatever the case may be but we was like yo you know what [ __ ] it give him the 25 you know what I'm saying like but the conversation was like nah that's you know what I'm saying like like how how am I going to pay y'all if I give him 25 cuz if I give him 25 I could only give y'all 25 you was like all right whatever [ __ ] it is what it is this movie got to come out [ __ ] that 25,000 cuz this movie is you know what I'm saying is what's going you know I mean it's something else that's going to take us to the next level type [ __ ] so I never got my 25 you know what I mean and I didn't I didn't even get 125 you know what I'm saying I just like you know what I mean like for the most like out of that 25 [ __ ] I probably seen like 2,000 or some real [ __ ] you know what I mean because it was it it was spooky like that yeah you know what I mean the way it's like the the the love wasn't being spread like that to you know what I'm saying but I never had an issue with none of that [ __ ] because I I love what I do know I'm saying and this is what I do and I do that [ __ ] till this day you know what I'm saying and I work 8 to 5 you know what I mean so you know it's just like never really that serious the way it's like cuz anybody and be like yo give me my money if I knock your head off I'll kill you you know what I mean like whatever the case may be but it's like you know what this [ __ ] make the world go around but you know what I mean you know I know you had expectations though oh definitely definitely had expectations been disappointed a lot you know what I'm saying let down you know what I'm saying by people who I thought love me and you know what I mean people that I still love to this day like you know mean Ain't No Love loss but it's just [ __ ] you can't come around me like you know what I'm saying right I'm good how how was your relationship with Havoc we [ __ ] that [ __ ] dead ass where I put that on everything cuz when I was little right a [ __ ] came to my crib it was in my crib my um my sister she knew like having all them like everybody from 12 Street and all that [ __ ] and them [ __ ] used to come to my crib to smoke weed and all that so um Havoc was in the crib one day and I was like yo I was like yo teach me how to write he was like all right [ __ ] grabbed I I had the pen and the paper I was already writing at the time I was like8 n years old I was already writing at the time so [ __ ] grabbed the pen and the paper [ __ ] start writing in cursive I'm like [ __ ] start writing like triangles squares X and like yo this is how you write I'm like [ __ ] do this say bro like yo it say x y i you know I'm saying I don't remember word for word but that was my first encounter with have as you know what I'm saying from a child and then you know like once we started [ __ ] with P like we only seen have like two times you know what I'm saying and one time we was in the lab we was um they was working on they was working on a mall deep so so you actually grew up with Havoc um nah nah n have have older than me too okay have older than too like my sister you know what I'm saying like have is my sister in them age and [ __ ] like 74 baby 75 babies right right but you was around him yeah yeah yeah yeah I was you know I was around you know doing my little [ __ ] I wasn't you know what I mean like but I was always like you know running around playing sports and [ __ ] you know trying to take my family out the hood bro like you know what I'm saying with way I could okay you know what I mean so that was my first with have and then you know um like as I got older you know it was just like I a you know I ain't really wasn't really I ain't really see them too much but they would come through the hood sometimes and you know [ __ ] be in ciphers rapping and [ __ ] like that but once we got signed once we signed the p and all that like we seen a [ __ ] like twice he was supposed to produce some songs for the album [ __ ] he never give us a beat or nothing you know what I'm saying so why why is that the money wasn't raised or um I I I don't know I guess it was just like his personality or whatever what kind of person he is cuz it's like yo we like Infamous is your brand too you know what I'm saying and whatever's going on with you and P don't got nothing to do with us so you know what I'm saying like don't act like you know what I'm saying you not going to eat if you in the same Circle that we in and you producing for us and our album is coming out on Infamous records you know what I'm saying which Infamous is known you know what I'm saying M deep is known for being Infamous so collectively whether you involved or not it still has something to do with you according from the outside looking in you know what I mean but it was never a point where it's like yo all right yo here's a [ __ ] beat tape for balls and hooks like type [ __ ] right you know what I mean why was um having and Prodigy not getting along cuz I know Havoc had put a room out there I don't know if that was the reason why um you know what room I'm talking about which one there so many I I can't pinpoint he he was saying that P was oh P was flaggy yeah uho that's a touching subject because all this Diddy [ __ ] that's going on yeah yeah you know what I'm saying I mean you know that's a touchy subject cuz of all this Dy [ __ ] that's going on right now but we talking we talking mob deep we talking bars and hooks and it's a part of your story you know what I'm saying yeah yeah yeah definitely definitely but you know it it's possible right it's possible I'm not going to hold you it's possible just because of the relationship that I know that P had with Diddy yeah that's funny that's funny that P with Diddy that's funny yeah that's I cracked myself up but n that's a good one but for real you know what I mean like he him he had a good relationship with Diddy like you know Diddy would let him use the studio you know what I'm saying the [ __ ] that he had on uh that 20 something Street some wherever that [ __ ] was at but I pissed on the floor on there but you know what I'm saying a studio you know what I mean like let P use the studio like uh [ __ ] I know I remember one time did he invited him to uh Justin's and [ __ ] one night we invited him to Justins and [ __ ] one night and [ __ ] we we had went in there his moms was in there and all that but they wouldn't let me in cuz I had a du rag on I had just took my braids out just when n rocking the box braids at the time you know what I'm saying the cornrows and all that but I had I had a doag on they want to let me in he was like yo N Miss is in the house you know what I'm saying we ain't got nobody in here like that whatever the case may be and so I had to [ __ ] circle around the block in the Lim Hotel uh p and hooks came outside came out of there then they came out of there it's like yo we just ran in a j it's like what like it's like hell yeah you know what I'm saying we shook heads and [ __ ] talk about you know I mean he don't want no problems and all that after that but after that that's he still did the you know I mean the summer gym [ __ ] where he put son up on the stomach James scen yeah hell yeah wow so that that was a that like that that was crazy but bro but what what type of situation would actually make Havoc say some [ __ ] like that about P um being that that's your close friend and [ __ ] like that like they was like I don't know too much about their relationship right you know what I'm saying between each other cuz I wasn't around them like that mhm you know what I mean and the the the time span that we was around P was like shortlived it was only like two years like two and a half years okay you know what I'm saying so I I don't really know too much of the history with them but I do know that you know when P signed the HRC deal and you know what I'm saying was putting out a solo album that kind of you know what I mean like from my perspective from the outside looking at I would think that I think that hit have in the gut type [ __ ] especially that he wasn't producing the whole album you know what I'm saying [ __ ] P got like 980,000 for that deal signing bonus right damn near million dollar signing bonus you know what I'm saying so it's like and his budget was crazy for the album like it was like [ __ ] damn near unlimited so to speak [ __ ] spent so much money working on that album that they started [ __ ] bitching about the food budget right you know what I'm saying like it was crazy but from that is what what I think where the relationship started to go astray okay you know what I'm saying where it's like cuz you know have is on one he's only on one song and he produced and he only got production for two songs on the album right right you know what I'm saying so and then P was running around with us you know what I'm saying and the way hav saw was like yo you know have wasn't even [ __ ] with the [ __ ] that he grew up with you know what I'm saying and trying to put them on and you know what I'm saying make them successful and [ __ ] like that so have always been like the the the offshore guy like right all right I see y'all y'all over there doing that it's all good I'm over here though you know what I'm saying I'm over here I'm doing this like if y'all need me I'll pull up type [ __ ] I guess but for the most part it was just like you know like if we did come across them it was like a [ __ ] you know what I mean it was like a miracle right so to speak like oh [ __ ] have hey you know what I'm saying like so you know but I think that's where everything went astray at and then you know like that happened after P came home from jail you know I'm saying like they was going at it [ __ ] have did a disc song about p and all that still got the [ __ ] up on YouTube and everything right you know what I'm saying so like I would never have a you know a a a relationship with somebody like that like you know what I'm saying like [ __ ] this is the person that helped you get to where you need to be because if it was just you solely like [ __ ] you'll still be in a hug or you know what I'm saying yeah somewhere doing something else [ __ ] because this [ __ ] is the reason for your success yeah you know what I'm saying is is a big part of the reason you know what I'm saying like yeah you not taking nothing away from have solely cuz you did your part you know what I'm saying like with the beats and all of that but [ __ ] if it wasn't for p [ __ ] you wouldn't be as you know what I'm saying you wouldn't have hit any level that you hit and and it shows right now like I seen a [ __ ] video of him doing a show in Brooklyn in a [ __ ] Lounge like you never you know what I'm saying like you think you I thought I would never see no [ __ ] like that but if if if it was the opposite way around M like have was if have died and P was still here like everybody will still be rocking with maldi right you know what I'm saying but it's the other way around and that's not even a thought in anybody mind [ __ ] is not even relevant no more like to the point and that's your you know what I'm saying and that's on you because you not making you didn't make make the right business moves to you know what I'm saying make sure that your foundation is still elevated like you know what I'm saying so it's like once once P died it was like M who like you know what I'm saying right right know [ __ ] so what's what's going on with bars right now um [ __ ] I'm I'm working on a new album right now you know what I'm saying I was going to do 16 so I mean 12 but after kicking it with you you know what I'm saying I'm going make that [ __ ] 16 it's going to be 8 and eight uh produced by me right um I ain't got no features yet but I'm working on them I'm working on them couple of features and I'll just be you know producing you know trying to say I'm I'm in that wave now really you know I'm saying I don't really do too much writing or nothing like that you know as of late since I started producing I started producing years ago and I'm nice right right nice okay where holl at me for Beats man but yeah man um yeah that's a just you know producing uh got the label clothing line you know what I mean called ban [ __ ] [ __ ] I'm wearing right now you know dope the logo right here so you know if you see this support me yeah but you know saying but yeah man and um [ __ ] that's it and who you who you trying to get a law and citizen word um honestly bro like this is like the first like this is my first project where I'm actually solely in charge of everything from the production to the publishing to the you know what I'm saying like everything that a artist gets from a record label I'm I have all of that myself right you know what I'm saying so U I'm like I was um actually hollering that nature okay so nature nature say he's going to give me a feature uh nature is dope you know what I'm saying yeah all season yeah that's a fact uh flush you know what I'm saying 90s golden eras and um well the top chef of the hood you know what I'm saying call him blue cheese Top Chef of the hood you know what I'm saying he be he cook and everything like he a chef okay but he nice and rapping you know what I'm saying so I um got him and and um um my dude merkh merkh he from Queens but he's based out of Arizona right now okay and yeah that's the and that's it yo whatever happened to um uh what's the ACD ACD man yo man both of those those is my guys those dudes is dope both of them both of them is my guys man my guys and I wish that they would have stuck together but what you know what I'm saying like they they just went their separate ways like um the dog a dog is it ACD consist the a dog and ammo ammo was the Spanish one dog was the black one right you know what I'm saying we from the same block 10 Street on the 41st side of [ __ ] M and it got to the point where like you know they was they was making their waves and all of that but it got to the point where you know was like uh where you know the money wasn't coming in right [ __ ] had kids and all of that so yeah uh dog just stopped he just gave it up he's like yo I'm not [ __ ] with the game no more I'm not producing I'm not rapping I'm not doing none of that [ __ ] no more wow so that's how that you know what I mean like that's how that came about and then they they both just went their separate ways and it was just like no more ACD man that [ __ ] was crazy to me cuz yeah those are like literally my childhood friends like [ __ ] that I grew up with like you know what I'm saying broke bread with but half a hair rolls with [ __ ] like that you know what I mean yo man I remember the mixtape era DVD eror bro it was all about bars and hooks ACD yeah um Blitz yeah he was he wasn't he didn't he wasn't out like that but he was buzzing a little from yeah cuz um like Bliss had just came home when he got on that street Glory joint with Nas and [ __ ] yeah see he he had just came home from doing a stretch I think he did like seven eight up north and [ __ ] like that so he missed everything like when from Illmatic to I want to say murder music okay some [ __ ] like that yeah hell yeah so he he missed that whole wave cuz he was locked up and [ __ ] but when he came home before he went in he was one of the hottest [ __ ] In The Hood it was it was him not like Nas wasn't even mentioned can't forget about killer kids it wasn't even mentioned oh no definitely can't definitely can't forget my k bro listen man I remember te I was a teenager when came out uh Crown fam you know what I'm saying like like like we was the ones like after the mob deeps and the Nas and you know what I'm saying the Nations and all that that was supposed to be on the Forefront after all of that you know what I mean like we was the the the the nicest ones in the hood at that time like I mean it was us killer kids but you know I don't know it's just something about these groups that together and then you know [ __ ] start happening and eego start getting into play and you know people start picking and choosing which ones they want to [ __ ] with and which ones they want to leave behind and all you know what I mean like [ __ ] like that so you know what I mean it's crazy but yeah like [ __ ] was getting busy and rest in peace killer shy you know what I mean like you know boy that's my boy yo his voice never change he was nice yo his voice never changed hell no that that was ad we called him ad in the hood you know I'm say the world we called him ad in the hood his he always had that raspy voice you know I'm saying never changed man hyper like lot of energy you know what I mean but you know I mean he has some health issues and [ __ ] yeah and he passed away I want to say about eight nine years ago some [ __ ] like that yeah cuz I remember my first time hearing them was on Marley Mall show future flavors future flavors future flavors I'm like yo these dudes is incredible like [ __ ] was just hard like shout out to Marley for that cuz Marley was playing he was like anybody that was doing music in the hood at that time when he had future flavors every week you heard you know what I'm saying like yeah he was bumping everybody but yeah somebody from the hood like record like yo hell like he was playing it yeah you know what I'm saying that was actually the first time I heard myself on the radio was on future flavors you know what I mean [ __ ] cuz we used to [ __ ] with mega like you know me we used to [ __ ] with mega too right like Mega was actually the first person to like put us on a like bring us to the studio put us on a record and [ __ ] like that you know what I'm saying right so that's what you know we stem from all of that and like at that time the hood like everything was yeah yeah here's my thing though y had so much great examples around y'all right yeah cor Mega absolutely cor Mega got all this independent money absolutely that's that's somebody y'all could have reached out to be like yo bro just show us the game absolutely yeah hell yeah but you know it's just being from the same hood that the politics just you know what I'm saying is the politics everything just go left just cuz [ __ ] from the same Hood like if we wasn't from the same Hood I think everything would have turned out that much better like if we was from somewhere else other than Queens bridge and they discovered us and you know what I'm saying and then [ __ ] popped over but it's just like since we all know each other is like you know it's like collectively it automatically turns into a situation where everybody's talking about it you know what I'm saying like playing telephone polls so by the time the story even get to the next person the [ __ ] done been switched up you know what I'm saying all types of [ __ ] been pulled into the mix and all of that you know what I'm saying so that's why there's really no Unity amongst the artists in Queen Bridge you know what I'm saying because of the Egos and you know everybody want to be the man at the end of the day nobody want to play their part you know what I'm saying it's like yo bro just play your part like [ __ ] you GNA produce produce you gonna be an artist be an artist you gonna be a street [ __ ] be a street [ __ ] Etc you know what I'm saying it's that simple yeah but everybody want to be king you know what I'm saying so you know it's only it's only two kings on the chess board a black one and the white one it it you know what I'm saying so it's like yo like how How would how the pawns is how the pawns going to move if everybody just moving like they the king you know what I'm saying you're not going to it's not gonna happen
