Luke wasn't was gonna be uh you know he's gonna be you know all part of the last race is my bad album at one point oh okay you know dr. Lucas input Juicy's album out yeah I heard some about that yeah hey you put that out okay so that's the connection which I am and Katy Perry put that put them together for this song okay part of it I mean what's the last time you guys actually got in the studio made a song together mm eight years ago right 2009 no no no no no no no probably 2010 2007 years one of the like that one of the last things I think we did together was like cocaine mafia with uh with a French I think that I was one of the last things we did okay like 2002 juicy just too rich these days [Laughter] cool you know what like I said when the time is when the time is right I think we'll do it we just wanted to you know want to be right well I remember I interviewed uh Steve Rifkin see you guys signed three 6 mafia yeah yeah I know DJ [ __ ] I've been in a bunch of times I guess they kept all their publishing which was like well they're the best the best deal yeah ever they're really rich yeah because if they had sold the camera the publisher like most artists were doing it would have been a whole different exactly different situation I was looking at those contracts myself I was negotiating the contracts and I was like oh because the thing about it is my uh my family come from music so my uncle's got a gospel group called the Bogart brothers and they taught me about music you know when I was a kid you know when I was 19 years old we had a record label off of us like 250,000 dollars for a quarter percentage of our publish it and I was like yeah I was looking at it I was 19 years old like that's a lot of cocaine and thank God I didn't because people are 73 is not amusing all over the place right now right and you've never signed a publishing you never which is a little odd because even the big artists like Eminem signed publishing deals but but you guys you never did did the Juicy J ever do it no no no never you never wanted that upfront check no you wanted every penny of that now because our front shake man first of all are you gonna get hit crossed a hand with the government soon as you get it I liked how we did it to get slow money over the years you know I'd rather get a million dollars or that just you know just on the number I already get a million dollars over a few years you know million dollars at one one year then the government come in you know you take 40 40 percent of that you know you down to 600 a day in California coming in or wherever you live in that day they want to go right so you guys produced all your own stuff yeah you never sold none of your publishing yeah so just to put in perspective for people in 2017 with the body of work you put in what was like the biggest publishing check you got this year like a check you got you know I'm saying just so people know I don't know why in your pocket so yeah but but just so people understand the importance of owning their own stuff a lot of money a lot of a lot of I put it like this I didn't have to bring this out about it but it won't because you're publishing checks just keep coming yeah I just do right now I've been doing for them you know forever I just been doing music just for you know cuz I'm my biggest fan you know I just I don't do it for the money no more yeah you don't really do music for money these days I just do it just you know for the fans because I always looked at it like if a lot of artists who I loved that passed away like you know if they were still around I would love to hear music from them you know like France and Michael Jackson so long as I got you know to win my loans you know I can get up and you know do some stuff I don't you know I wanna you know do it and get a fan something yeah and of course the touring you know when you put a new put a new project out then you could tour around that project you know all your classic stuff and so forth yeah man I mean you've been you've always been good every time I've seen you you know that's what it is now when you guys came out you were really the first and one of the only hip-hop groups to kind of play around with that whole satanic thing of three six triple six and so more you know number one why did you go that direction because in general you know most most black people were raised in the church and that's considered really taboo yeah we was raised in a church yeah yeah judge just as dead as a missionary you know they traveled to different churches and stuff like that but uh yeah we was raised in a church but you know it was just like it was just uh you know as a character you know music music musicians aren't our characters just like actors are you know Robert De Niro was in was that yeah because hip-hop artists you know most of the time they do or have done what they you know what they talk about you know we did we did - for the most part we wasn't devil worship was but anything else we talked about we pretty much did it but now we was never worth devil worshippers man you know is just how it was just it was just a dope name and we came up with and we was always into dark stuff like when I was recording making all this stuff back in a day like the early early parts I had a serial killers book the state in the studio from Time Life magazine you wrote him back in a day run those callate commercials you could get like the ward 3 cookie collection a widow and I got it I used to produce brought that book over to me and I gave it to me and I kept it but I wish I stayed hey I don't know is it but a serial killers magazine so right like right now in my my theater room in my house I just got like black-and-white pictures of serial killers all over the walls oh the actual serial killers the actual pictures of olive Dave berkowitz you know and all those guys Richard Ramirez and all that yeah oh the main lore Devlin's had a group called the serial killers that was our first problem all right I remember that first Friday he was a little three song low you know what's your take on like for example lil Uzi vert had like the upside down crosses and it sort of became a thing for a little while like you know I think offset spoke out against it even though they had a big song together than I cops it was like was not feeling that [ __ ] at all and there was a little bit of back and forth like I was just with offset okay yeah like a couple hours ago okay literally here no you're right now okay I mean you know like I said in an in in you know hopefully it's just a it's a character thing that you know he's doing well you know I don't care guards because I'm not I don't be another another man's business like that but you know it's something that I would never do you know if just something that somebody else want to do then that's fine that's fine with him I can't see I never met him personally but I can't I don't think that he's a devil worshiper oh no against Christ not like that no but he does a lot of times just like you know it's cool it's like an image or something nothing right because he actually really looks up to Marilyn Manson they're actually supposed to work on some stuff together Marilyn Manson really played around with the whole devil worshiping Madison hard [ __ ] right yeah I remember I went to one of his shows once Wow oh yeah it was it was such a theatrical thing like he you know he started doing this whole like a little speech about drugs about and he said yeah Jesus Christ did drugs and violence and he started perform this the song called I don't love drugs but the drugs of me and his huge like Vegas sign from behind the stage came up and said drugs that was a cut the length of the whole stage and it was like lights oh so you never wear it upside down cross now undo but you being a group call three 6 mafia yeah I mean appreciate mom you know that could be a jersey number but triple six is considered the sign of Satan right that's what they say that's what they say but we never met neither one of them so we don't know what yeah I don't think that I don't think they're st. uh represented a number anything but 666 is the the sign of the beast sturdy you know I mean yeah you obviously know about yeah well that's what they told us but we don't know that you know the devil some width or something revenez six so recently bun b did an interview yeah he did on drink champs and then where he said that three 6 mafia and UGK were supposed to be a supergroup underground mafia underground mafia man it was gonna be hard in a month for two Devils the truth that's gonna be true I mean I wish we could have did that I don't know why we didn't know it's it a black dude it cuz cuz I'm gonna tell you just as a fan my favorite three 6 mafia song it's my favorite UGK song is sippin on some sizzurp yeah that is a song that I played to death you know I I had no idea what was sizzurp was I was a little too young to if are taking any of that but but that song was so hard and the chemistry was so amazing between y'all that day when I heard that there was supposed to be a supergroup I was so disappointed damn man it was I hate that we never did cuz every time we did something together it was magic because after seven Oh scissor when uh film see went to prison recipes come see my brother like when Percy went to prison he called me from Prince I talk to him like every week when he was in prison and he said man when I get out he's like I want you to uh I want that beat off their project past song choose you man cuz they [ __ ] that record they never promote their record so I want their beat you know when he got out of prison he came to my house in Italy you know we did this song and it went number one it was players anthem ah right yeah you know okay yeah we produced that right and then one number one for them so what happened at the group we just never did we never did it we just never said I don't know why the hell we didn't do it I mean I never even heard the name before like underground mafia Bundy said it that was the first time I'd ever heard it so you guys planned it out had the name and everything yeah we had everything but she just never got in the studio to actually Dan we know every time we every time we we meant to do a song it was always for you know one of each other's albums yeah it seemed like so it I don't think we'd never set out because we was all so busy we'd never really set out to do anything in between each other's albums but you know because we was torn and all that so we shoulda said what do you think made Pepsi so special his mouth his mouth he wouldn't hold it even man Pepsi when told nothing nothing if he felt some away about you he's gonna say it he don't care of his 3000 whatever you gonna say it you see what's how she swap spit I hung out with Pepsi for the first and only time a week before he passed no he was over my house today before he passed right so this must have been a couple days before that he was in the studio because me and as a his manager Rick Martin we're friends and we were in the studio and we were supposed to an interview but he didn't have his haircut so you don't want to do it he always clean right plenty but the one thing I remember is that pmc did not stop talking the entire time he talked and he was funny as hell man he was sick so no funny really [ __ ] but he wouldn't even be trying to be funny he would just be talking some wrist reshipping it'd just be fun of his deliverance right right it was story after story and I'm gonna tell you I'm not gonna say who he said this is something I've never said on camera before and you know people could do some research to figure out who this is but he told me this one time he was hanging out of the the club at the bar and the wife of a very famous rapper looked at him and said what the hell does do think he is he 40 or something he looked at her and said [ __ ] if you don't know who I haven't been living under a rock he threw a handful of money in her face oh well then later on he became cool with the husband but and he said that he don't think that she remembered it so told me of me in stores but he never told me that word so you did a interview on a no jumper and you said how the difference between Memphis in Atlanta pause music I don't know just in terms of the culture all right and how you talked about how in Atlanta you have all these rappers working together in Atlanta in Memphis they don't yeah you know there's a welcome to Atlanta where every rapper works together but in Memphis you said there's a Khalil of hate yeah Memphis robbers don't like other Memphis rappers I don't know why the hell is I don't know why I was like that you know it's just uh I don't know but uh but yeah Memphis rappers they they've refused to get along even some Memphis rabbits that you see are in the same crews of each other don't like each other yeah it's weird I don't know who knows why right good I mean I'm trying to think but you never really see different crews in Memphis really you know rocking with each other like that and you even said that if there was like a welcome to Memphis music video somewhere end up dying in that video yeah probably to a couple months I don't know why my city like that man we just we love each other but not eat as much we love each other cuz like when we in our city with each other like we look at each other you know and probably put a mug on each other but when we in other cities we have each other back fully fully you know like I ran into a you know guys from other crews that you know we don't get along with or didn't get along with at the time or whatever and other cities on the road or whatever and then we were [ __ ] drinking and smoking together like not like we leave our lid at home you know it's like a family you know like if you your brother go out somewhere you know and y'all kick some ass together you're over at the house y'all go kick each other is right because I look at the list of Memphis rappers right now not a huge amount number one you said not not a huge amount I mean consider I just made it it's a lot of what I'm saying you know I mean obviously you guys and then like the extended to be six Mafia family seems to eat up most of those numbers yeah you know and then of course you have yo gotti then you got Dolph money back you know money back yo but that's part of yo Gotti's yeah camp yeah snooty Wow oh my boy right but he's part of yo Gotti's camp yeah as well and uh black youngster he's he's Memphis everybody also with yo guys yeah yeah everybody knows my name what's your take us as a Memphis og when you see the whole doll for yo gotti beef like what's your take on that like I just say it man you know it's Memphis man as Memphis I just Memphis you know but you know those those those guys like they I don't think that it will I don't think it would ever get to the point where they would like physically harm each other you know because like I said you know we all gotta love each other to end well you know it's just like it's just like it just you know we just beef with each other man we just do it well I mean you know we're I don't know where where the situation came from but Dolph's car got shot up yeah so I'm not saying anyone how you know that's over a Memphis beef but but clearly you know violence has been occurring or you know I mean with these rappers in this area I mean do you think there's a point where these two could really get together and do some music together or just I hope so man I think they will you know I hope so but like I said I don't know I've never been in the room and both of them at the same time you know I've been in a room with each one of them but I don't you know I don't know what they would do you know I like like that but I think that one day they was they were squashing cuz we've all squash it you know back in the day me and God it wasn't cool you know no we when did his birthday party with him a couple years ago whatever was so I think you know if if me and God he can squash it didn't I think dolphin guy can squash it yeah what was initially the problem between you and Gotti man it wasn't even me and God it was another dude initiated it I do who got him was within one point when he early in his career he started the whole thing with me and God he and Dana that just it just kind of went from there okay but uh but yeah it was never really me and God he knows like it's like you know when you go out with own on the road which are entourage and one of them start a fight with somebody else you guys should to do it and it was more like ideal to kind of like that or whatever did ever get back no no no we got past anything but you know just like just so he said she say okay blah blah blah stuff like that so how did you record know that okay so how's you to end up Ashley working it out actually uh I was in the airport at LA you know Gotti walked up to me I was eating and I got it walked over to me I said it was up and then he said and we talked for awhile you know posted a picture on social media you know from that point you know it was cool and I was always cool with like all his bullets like I'm real cooler a lot of his boys and we always stay cool through this so they was just waiting for all this shitty and anyway because outside of God I had I hadn't I was aa stake who with all his uh his boys you know even before all this stuff with me and him and doing the stuff with me in Hell so everybody was waiting for that you know [ __ ] would be pushed aside in a way and then you know we did it well you said that when you were younger you'd go out looking for enemies I say that something like that I wouldn't I didn't really go out look for enemies I just was a badass you know we grew up gangbang so we didn't really go out and look for somebody but you know we was always into some bad [ __ ] right whereas you said when you got older you said you just weren't interested in that type of [ __ ] yeah cuz this is stupid it was stupid I mean you know it was young it was Tina and then when you teenagers you do crazy [ __ ] like that like way especially at the school that I went to I went to a real hard school you know and it was all of us did you know juicy there Pat did all of us went to hard schools and then you know it was just crazy [ __ ] I mean when you say gang banging is it like gang banging like la gang bangin were you have it was actually gang bangers we won't bend down did Drive eyes on [ __ ] really girl it was a girl I know forget this girl got shot and our school is like one of the first gangbang of gang affiliated murders in our city well well one of the gangs was right about the shooting after school all of us was walking home and it was riding bad there was they did a drive-by trying to shoot it all one three guys from the other gang and all they missed and hit this cheerleader straight to her neck and killed in ninth grade it was terrible man that's were we was really really gaming it was bad was it Crips and bloods at the time in Memphis we got everything it was crimson blood Gangster Disciples and Vice Lords oh so all the the major gangs were setting up shop in Memphis yeah cuz Memphis got a lot of family from Chicago aha you know the Bloods I know the Bloods came there from some dudes who I knew those from from LA it was from a late it was the ones who I first heard of or knew of that they brought the blood the Crips was like they considered they said like there was like cousins of the Gangster Disciples so that's how that they got there I don't know who actually brought them there and the Gangster Disciples and the Vice Lords came that to Chicago people who who have family of Memphis and stuff I did now were you affiliated with any of those gangs at all or no no Cara Nome and then I can't know what was that it was there a point though when you just said I got to leave this this this [ __ ] alone man I'm not gonna end up in a box now you know how I haven't a funny part how it happened is the opposite gang was sneak and buy my mixtapes for me during lunch seriously and that they didn't want they didn't really want people to see them do that so they was sneaking everybody watches my school they didn't know the story they just you know they know it read it from my neighborhood know it but they were back they were sneaking about seat cassette tapes from the door lunch and that's how we all would that's how we got cool you know and all that you know that was a kid out there you know I did when you get out of high school you don't do all the gaming she'd almost time to pay some beer I would ask her around your neck right now yeah oldest to jay-z what do you mean he didn't buy which I wish he had but like 11 years ago when we won the Oscar we got nominated for BT award we lost though we lost hip hop hip hop artist of the Year award we lost a black athlete and but when we lost man Jesse got up to walk away and JC was sitting next to nice to Rick Ross and jay-z was like he got up he put his hand in my chest like listening who like next time I see you but how'd it go man hanging around your neck she got a black eyeliner could I go bet our whole crew a couple of right now to piece and uh but a 10-year anniversary last year I wouldn't get it made okay yeah and I mean there's a very short list of rappers with Oscars yeah comment I think has an Oscar common and John Legend one one like a year ago right and Eminem and us that's it so three rappers yeah with Oscars yeah very short list and you guys I remember we've had this conversation before you guys had no idea that you guys were gonna win this thing no hell no I didn't even know what an Oscar was before there's no name I saw it you know I've seen it on TV but I didn't know the name of it so when Jesse called me like 6:00 in the morning he's like man with no name for an Oscar I'm really tired of living tell you right back and then I googled it and I was like holy [ __ ] I caught it back I like the gold man yeah yeah like what the hell for what crazy like my lawyer always telling his story my Lottie Cooper Dave Chappelle I think he represented me at some point or I said but uh well I just was like they were standing outside Dave Chappelle he's outside restaurant Dave Chappelle achieve it he's like you know he's a you know three C's might be no name for an Oscar like for what for husband flow like but he was thinking about the parts we had in the movie like you just come to the door open the door and tears how herons give me the bay I could give me a bag of weed to turn my music down and juicy like did a scene at the end what I think he shot a window out of some was just a day and you guys won for hard out here for a pimp yeah okay and was it taraji be handsome she'd sauna who's saying is she actually saying it herself yeah yeah she can sing i [ __ ] right they want no auto-tune of nothing no no we didn't even have all the to mean it was I'm sure it was Al but you know see it was out but she she didn't need it so you gonna sing I don't know why she don't do more than okay she too busy doing demos because they don't know Terrence Howard was wrapping it and uh yeah so who did the vocals on that Terrence Howard didn't focus mostly I was here you guys produce road to vocal stuff you wrote it right wrote and produced it in and we showed him how to wrap it and he wrapped it so Terrence Howard actually wrapped that and taraji P Hansen did the hook and here they are years later do an empire together yeah that kind of kind of interesting for you to see that yeah because Empire I felt did it I think it was kind of I think it was kind of thought of probably off the hustle and flow or something like that well just at the chemistry I guess between the tear fossil and their music and all that cuz you know turns how actually put out albums back in the day what yeah this song I did not know this I think he got about three albums out Terrence Howard has albums yep he had albums how when we was making that movie this song okay how was he as an artist he's pretty good and he can just play the good tie like a [ __ ] really yeah okay so it was easy for him to do the song because he actually makes music yeah he's got now I'm called shine through it okay okay I had no idea yeah I had no idea so he the character he plays on Empire actually has a little more yeah these were not hit albums I'm assuming I don't know what they did but I mean he made owls you know he had a major record label deal with Sony okay and he was actually rapping he wasn't rapping on those out yes sing he was singing right but he was rapping on all right here from yeah yeah right which I guess would be a you know I could see how that got the Oscar over whoop that trick I mean I would have been do you guys do whoop that trick too no we didn't do that well that was a you got Al Capone Al Capone yeah okay man was about what happened to you in Selma Hayek then I the Oscars oh man sound she's so hot man I was basically just looking at because I was always in louis ever is dusted on i was sold who was our so i'm still in love right well uh now she she actually got she got upset with me because um i walked up to introduce myself to her and she i had to ask her to my hand and listen Ed and I asked her would take a fish in which we took the picture to picture me how and juicy as out everywhere and then she was like she just broke out of nowhere she's like you know that your brothers and sisters in Africa are dying over these blood diamonds that you're wearing oh I was all blinged out like the rolling and I said I didn't have enrollees I have

asked me to put a diamond on her finger that's what I was hoping and I want to dip it so she just kept yelling at you now she wasn't Yellin she just said that and then she just kind of walked out so

go home well we went back to the room and I woke up the next day and it was people all over the place you know press and stuff you know the interview wasn't what ever thought what ultimately changed your life once you add once you actually got the Oscar must has money you know did the money completely change after that yeah I have a completely change once it is active mouths man but I was a show prices like quadruple now you're the Oscar winning group yeah you got to put that before the 3-6-5 yeah the Oscar winning group 365 year yeah what that didn't really I don't I don't think that really they they didn't really do that because uh you know the people that go to our concerts right you know have him know project watch the Oscars or know [ __ ] about that but it's just our name was just like Sony had told us they just like we was the number one Google thing in the world Oh once they did happen like you know that next day or whatever the case no but everybody was trying to see who the head of [ __ ] was jumping all those stages just won that award and so I was like everything went up I went up that's crazy right because you guys had the reality show after that yeah tankmen reality shows wasn't considered cool my dad you know he's caught us a sellout for doing it really yeah now sold out man sold out now everybody want a reality show yeah I think I think we'd actually we did some interviews before flat TV was right around the time of the reality show and everything else like that think we did buy that buy the Beverly Hills sign remember that yeah yeah so yeah cuz I remember you guys were riding high at the time how big was the whole lean thing in the south back then it was huge it was but not the whole south it was a Texas matter of fact Texas was doing it before us that was chases and then I was Memphis and and the only other place I heard about doing it was weird enough was a Philadelphia mm-hmm you know we walked out of the radio station in Philadelphia it was like you know 20 [ __ ] out there without it was real code so there's like 20 he's out there waiting on batter two of us and we walked out there and then they gave us shirts they had a picture of the cert bottle on it I was like wow and then we got cool we hung what they're like I think like the rest of the day some stayed in touch with him but right yeah cuz beanie sigel I've interviewed him before he was heavy awfully yeah and I couldn't believe I weigh up him it was own it own it okay Philly was on it when you saw what happened afterwards I mean cuz cuz that was really uh I don't know if it's the first song about sipping lean but it was the most popular song about oh sure yeah I do I think take it takes his hair songs about it but I don't think nobody outside of Texas had a song about it well it was the first hit record about sipping lean yeah were you guys sipping a lot of lean while you're making this only was yeah I had a birthday party one day well I gave everybody was like maybe 40 people older someone's they walked in my part I gave everybody their own two-liter absurd and so cuz I didn't want to be sharing drinking out of each other's wallet so everybody had their own I got pictures over at home somewhere everybody hit they owned to leave sir Bob well I've interviewed a lot of rappers especially Chicago rappers who told me they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on thing I didn't do that but yeah I believe it I know people that drink it and like like it's a seven over something okay literally like everyday I don't know how to do it I've had a couple of people that I got one one partner I had one partner that passed from it at age of 33 and I got another partner that the doctor told him he's so messed up on the inside from it that he can't even drink liquor no more he can't drink nothing his livers just destroyed yeah well because essentially it's liquid heroin yes man yeah did you stop at some point are you still every so often did ever but but you know but you're talking about friends who died from it yeah you know and then and then there's been you know Pepsi allegedly died from from lean I thought they'd say uh the prescription medicine or makes a mixture of the prescription medicines that's how it was I don't know what it was I it was so many things yeah there's so many things that they were saying that they did find some prescription medicine you know in the room did I think that he had to take for something sleep apnea I think was okay something like that I don't know but uh DJ Screw Big Mo I think I think they're being all right I never had a lot of a lot of Houston rappers I mean when you see the kind of damage that has happened it's caused and it seems like it's been a popular popularize so much by hip-hop Sam since you guys did it you know I mean yeah it's gotten to the point where you know rappers I've interviewed had told me that there's they see rappers in the club with a double cup that don't even have lean in the cup but they're fronting like they have leave a man it's big I was in the airport one day and I saw myself on the news on CNN I was like what the hell but they was talking about us I think it was like they was talking about us at one time when a lil wayne' went to the hospital supposedly for the widow they showed us it was like you know pop rappers to make this popular doesn't it and they showed showed out video signals over video I'm like damn yeah well you guys I feel were one of the first rappers to talk about hard drugs in general welp MC said when we was making before we made this song it was so funny wheezing there's a it was in his house he was living in Atlanta there you know he was saying man one thing I like about child man is man y'all actually talk about this [ __ ] he's like man there's a lot of other rappers out here make it happen they won't talk about this you know we talk about you know I know I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when Sony was listening to some issues did they just [ __ ] make a song talking about sniffing cocaine right because I mean in general I mean even to this day rappers don't talk about doing coke but a lot of rappers do you never I was doing a nice but not you know not not like oh you know underground miss reference to not you know I don't think none of me guys out right now to talking about that a widow but do you man that's a lot of rappers Ducote they just won't they don't they don't they don't feel it they want to talk about it right cuz you know you know riff raff who is on your last album riff talks about it talks about it he does it man that right right yeah he talks about it yeah y'all talk about when you guys first started coming out with songs how am i doing cocaine what was the reaction they loved it they loved it oh yeah okay close everybody I'm if it's dusk okay really yeah don't let him fool everybody if it doesn't okay not everybody obviously but [ __ ] man there's out there it was how old were you when you first tried it first time I did cocaine um I was probably uh those little mystic stars came out or the end so it was like 95 96 somewhere through there see it will hold at that time I can't tell you ah I was young teenager something like that Oh something like that teenage early twenties okay did you feel you ever got hooked to it yeah I feel I got hooked to it no cocaine you don't really get hooked to cocaine like that cocaine is the kind of drug that if you out partying and like it's um you know some hot chicks in the bathroom doing it as some and they offer you something you gonna do it the very next day you're not gonna want to do it you know unless you end up in that bathroom with my chicks again but uh but it ain't a drug like weed just something that people want to do every day oh they wake up wake and bake probably not you if you did cocaine at night before you're not gonna wake up and do more cocaine I don't want to cut your [ __ ] head off you probably won't do it for another year you probably do it for another two three years you know just you hear people getting hooked on cocaine all the time yeah you got obviously you got some people to get hooked on cocaine but now I personally don't know anybody that's just everyday had to have cocaine like I can't see it being possible I can not see it being positive obviously as people that do it but man you gotta be out of your [ __ ] mind to do cocaine every day cuz it's too hard on you right well cuz because I could tell you with me the reason I've never tried cocaine and I've tried ecstasy I've tried to ass it you know I mean I'm not gonna say I'm with goody two-shoes by any stretch of the imagination but with cocaine one of my best friends died off of cocaine at 23 he kept doing it compounding heart attacks kept doing it can have heart attacks like you know I'm saying then one day they just found him in the Vegas room dead with a bunch of cocaine in his room right and I remember going the funeral going okay this is some I'm not gonna touch just just for this particular reason why you know I'm saying so I personally know someone who's died off of cocaine yeah but you're saying that you don't see that no I can see some bad dad I'm cocaine could you get my heart attack yeah but it's just like something somebody to do cocaine every day that's why I'm like you got to be a real crazy person to do that because it's too it's too hard on you wake up you got a headache and no stop W blowing your nose all day and I listen like now I got you got while dude to do that well you ask people to do it but I mean you can die of anything you know you do too much other you got this [ __ ] in moderation I mean you can't die of a weed yes you can down you could die awfully tough course any kind of weak man is smoked man it's smoked you never hear of a weed overdose no you just hear about cancer we doesn't cause cancer I think so have you talked about some like some dirt weed like oh we just have a we DJ may come oh well I've been a guy yes and we've been sprayed with some cat piss or something right what the [ __ ] is doesn't mean you got that right well cuz I could tell you I dabbed at this one time with Cypress a low back stage mm-hmm and I literally was tucked for about two three hours ha ha ha does it sound like that yeah and I remembered I interviewed gangster boo she came over there boyfriend he had a damn thing set up and it was like number one it looks so crack ish man I must have did some dabs one [ __ ] night I was shooting a video and a weak spot and you know out there man and man I just came home that night it was hail I was so [ __ ] high and lost my keys I had to try to break in my own house alone when all the police came out all kind of problems damn strong and we they like it used to be man we is grown these days yeah let me now they made it legal because you know before if you just had some good-looking weed you just buy it but you know the worst part about illegally what's that it's a they talking about race and car insurance because they say well they said places like Denver like though the [ __ ] car wreck you know percentage wind up like 50% of some crazy [ __ ] right cuz you can't really test for it when you pull someone over yes it was crazy so they talk about raising car insurance man I got some expensive ass Cosmin it would be pretty bad ya know I feel you know I hope they don't do that you know I hope they don't do that you know so when you have that smoking man please don't drive man uber it's only six [ __ ] bucks he said something interesting I was watching there the no jumper interview today and you said that when it comes to working with artists and you've been you've worked with I'm sure hundreds of artists yeah over the years you said that your biggest problem with doing that is that the best artists are always the biggest fuck-ups making its [ __ ] ass product rule meaning that you know the guys have graduated from Harvard and you know have everything together it got their mixtape covers done and uh yeah best artist yeah now so like if I get a demo tape you probably just like if I get a demo tape from somebody and they got to do always all laid out to buy yo the colorful headshots the fully press professional CD when you put it in and there's some garbage because they spent too much time on that [ __ ] but like you got the one dude that ain't got no money in this pocket but he just really really you know hungry for it and he come up with just bits of [ __ ] to you cuz he don't even have enough money to go to the studio Debbie didn't be the hardest once maybe maybe they'd be higher you know they just don't have the the resources to get it out there but don't be the ones like on a hustle and flow you remember a game the game was demoing like a cassette tape or something you know you know don't be don't be the ones and look and Ludacris pissed on is our demo taping this song won an Oscar right [Laughter] because if you look at your history the artists that you've worked with I mean just look at just three 6 mafia loan it's a pretty colorful cast of characters there you know I mean like I think the last time we talked crunchy black just got shot in the face some years ago but yeah yeah yeah you know I mean like project Pat in and out of jail and so forth like is it difficult to create music and do these projects when the people with you are constantly getting into various types of trouble not really because the guys that usually get in a lot of trouble usually are the guys with the most [ __ ] to talk about it uh you know the the better most talented or the better you know history or the in order best like I said you know start to talk about cuz of the things they've been through like I just recently watched the Tupac movie I watched it two days straight you know you know he was in and out of jail and different stuff like that oh you one of the most talented what's the rapper yeah yeah we the ones right like if you looking for a rapper you know you go to the projects you don't go to college something like that you know there's once in college don't get me wrong yeah but they probably gonna be you know they probably gonna be nobody did there would be produced by somebody like me you know cuz I wouldn't really know what we should write Toledo yeah I think I couldn't predict ah yeah he'd do his own thing I could I was I would love to but his style is so different you know he created a whole different style of music that you know that something that I didn't do I feel we did you guys produce Justin Timberlake or just showed up on a song we just did song okay you didn't produce so like you know Kanye he did his own thing he came out with some stuff you know talking about the college and dissing ed and you know he just came out with a whole different image so it was hard as a month like I wouldn't never thought of that I didn't ever thought it worked it worked like a month I got love honey easy one of my favorites what happened with some sort of drive-by threat situation was that about all the TMZ Amanda I would just managers basically just acting the food man rappers mess what we do on stage man I don't know why everybody got so uh motional about me uh saying you know a drive I mean he's all rappers talk about it okay so I guess you were doing a show in Memphis uh-huh and there was some sound problems yeah because I basically they was cutting my sound on and now because I was cussing but you know they didn't tell me that you know and I worked with those guys I love those guys but you know they did they just forgot to tell us and they didn't put it in the contract that it was a clean show so I was custody and it sound was going in and now but they was you know they was physically doing it you know to you know try to mute me you know you know I understand but I didn't understand attack I didn't know what the hell is going on and then once I just got sicker than I walked offstage they was like that's just a reason why we was cutting your sound on no no like damn cuz somebody just told the deejay and we could have put up a clean show to say we got them in here cuz I do a lot of colleges so I got clean shows is you don't just let us you know there was no attempt so just a big understand this we can misunderstanding and it just went crazy okay cuz I guess you got on stage you said what I'm gonna do tonight is ride past the [ __ ] house she's somewhat [ __ ] houses up tonight and I just how we gonna shoot some bubbles house though I said well we're doing rap here some houses and I think I said I want shoot some [ __ ] up I think this house Kasim a you know like like like like like one of the guys from TMZ I did my own interview on TV because I know all those guys over there Harvin all those guys so they personally called me on my cell there's like you know you want to go and hear talk about this but before they talked to me I was like another like I think like a sad guy uh-oh freelance guys something on call one of my boys he uh he called my guy Molly Moll and so what do you guys say about your boy over there with the throttle bar saying all the stuff on the stage and this and that and he was like he's like living our son he's like here's like when you with your artists your microphone your lights bah bah bah you know it's a part of your your craft you know you know yo you know say your performs doesn't it he's like you know they was taking it away from him he was like if I came over there over older and to took those cameras for you would you say oh come on customers is a hell yeah because you know what there you go Hey actually no I didn't I have no I just want offstage nobody has a conversation in a very well they told me that was the reason why didn't we just live yeah now you're all tatted up yeah I could see this oh there's a rolls-royce yeah right here I've been here for a while okay well why the rolls-royce that one oh man cuz I always wanted one I grew up watching lifestyles of the rich and famous robin Leach did I end up living my right Beverly Hills live in Vegas oh okay you live in Vegas I just assumed Beverly Hills because that's where rich people but yeah he probably used to live in a at one point right he live in Vegas now he do a lot of I assume old okay so when you got your first Rolls Royce you got it was it was it before or after you got the Rolls Royce I got it after okay I got the Rolls Royce first day and I got tattooed as a 2004 2003 2004 okay so that was after you got your Oscar now husband philosophy before the Oscars yeah okay so you guys were doing it big I mean we've been doing for a long time okay first album in 95 right right right right right independent man $7.50 unit I'm okay so like power that thousand covers dependent independent who I think he talked about how that was the girl you got like 50,000 while you're still in high school yeah I hear like a hundred thousand in high school and a thousand high school I don't think incentives those volumes Wow I just brought me brought out their value but yeah those volumes make me Dave man you know we're selling those four five six dollars apiece got the stereo stores shitloads oh I got up to like I said volume 16 just was up to five nine then we had to choose his mafia separate violence we had apologies he supervised the Father Lord of them must call me to have you know all those other guys like at what point you start adding up your face every night to me mm okay cuz these days you see it all the time yeah all the back there's guys got tattoos all over their face now yeah oh if you look at Wayne I think Wayne was the first person to really make it popular I think far as rappers okay none of the young kids but she did it before him I don't know exactly right but it was different for him than it was for me because you know I was I was I got a older fan base in him so it was like different so like you know if I had it it wouldn't have relevant it wasn't really notice as much as it was to him because you know he got like you know younger you know skateboard kids and a lot of those younger kids so when they saw him do it I think that's what made a lot of those kids won't want to really do it but what are the tests on your face I got a cross on one side a music note but you got a cross on the nose over here Wow oh hey dog not holy I got the bank says okay right so you got a cross on one side a music note on the other yeah and then then on your head you got Oh all-seeing eye that's on the back of a dollar right that's on a dollar yeah the all-seeing eye on the pyramid yeah so people gonna see that I think your loominatee that's what they think but the basic thing I'll tell you the story I'll tell you the story of this tattoo I was on I was on tour with um with ICP Insane Clown Posse and I had a tattoo guy come by my by my hotel room and he's like what you won't what kind of tattoo you want I said I won't like I in the back of my head you know something like watching my back and then he's like okay I got a cool idea they just outdoors shouldn't uh hey some crazy you know we did have fun of following conversation about he showed something before he did it but you know it was dope you know I don't look at it like that I don't know what they want people say there's a whatever I basically was getting it cuz you know it just behind my my back I think you said that your first few tattoos you pay for cocaine with the tattoo yeah I did I just talk did I do - well I talked to a friend of that dude well yeah we used to go we just taking a bottle of coke a note that he would give us three tattoos for a ball three tattoos relieved oh yeah there's a slamming deal man yeah how was the day Paul worth back there hundred bucks a hundred bucks okay so about thirty three dollars a tattoo yeah okay what happened between you guys and Bone Thugs and basically you know all of us was uh you know all of us was young we were just coming out and we thought we thought that they stole our style because you know there was tongue twisting like we was telling twisted and it was you know there's 666 stuff right now let the sick sick sick stuff and all that so we thought that they was still on staff but then you know once I did more research on the Midwest I saw that tongue twisting was staying up there I mean hail twister was in the Guinness Book of World Records yeah for rapping fans you know you know crucial conflict on and crucial his way right exactly so I kind of found out that it was just something that they was already doing but you know it's just a Midwest got so many similarities to the south because we got a lot of the same family so that's how it basically it wasn't like it was a misunderstanding as well but I'm real cool involved now I seen him all the time lazybones on that out right exactly I've interviewed a few times by they're amazing we did a concert together man it was crazy as hell it was buzz of mafia sakes a few years ago maybe two years ago to my fifties in our bone in Chicago Wow so with their diss records between y'all two or is it just uh yeah we made a diss record about them and I think that they was talking about us on their bone and biggie song maybe you're right yeah hahahaha now such a huge song that was a here's aha huge song I'm also a jamming - okay so it's a little tougher when with a huge song with someone this is you want a huge song a mixtape get missed you know but they're not like this love's like a gentleman cuz you know I don't look it I didn't look at you know just songs like you know like that you know like I like you know even though you know it did get Chris cuz it didn't get to one point where we almost got into like a little altercation and Memphis once they talked about this in bad magazine was but uh but like today you know we saw them again at the airport in Atlanta you know maybe like right after that arrow and then you know we just kind of looked at each other and then that was in a day night today we got cool you know we end up being on the same label they was on a loud and relativity as well one loud yeah relativity there was a relativity but there's all resident but relativity and loud was the same thing oh they were yeah okay cuz we was on relativity today and it turned to Lao so as you know it's the same thing so now Prada I'm sure they probably actually put out some long toast though because all of the people went over today yeah so all of us end up going over to you know louder wouldn't I but oh yeah we of them getting cold now the first thing we did together was a crazy ball was on project past for his album Getty green okay I think we recorded like I am you know so well yeah crazy ball was living in Miami yeah I mean notorious thugs was such a incredible song and and I remember even reading about how biggie when he did the song with him he actually kind of emulated their style right it seems like he was rapidly damn yeah and and he got out the studio was like yo I'm the best I can't believe you know he was like so impressed he was able to pull that off yeah yeah they bonded that's alright let us huh so when you heard it you didn't feel some type of way about it yeah I don't even know if they was really talking about us I don't know but if I had take a guess next time interview the question yeah I don't know they was but you know it was it was funny you know when it it was and not it was funny I thought they did it now as I ain't man I'm over you're jamming what did you see Jay feel about it you never talked about no we did I don't not that I remember though okay cuz you know I mean I mean [ __ ] I remember at one point Tupac was beefing with Bone Thugs cuz I thought the thug name oh yeah yeah yeah I mean he felt some type of way you know anyone else using the word thug Tupac felt some type of way about it yeah so he I think he approached him about it and they worked it out in the end up doing thug love afterwards yeah yeah yeah absolutely absolutely well damn yeah I mean I'm glad nothing happened cuz you know those guys are pushovers you know yeah we know we know I did not I love on it some good dudes like we we actually hang out a lot you know they live in LA as well so now see them a lot we got to we got to say mutual mutual homeys actually so we see each other they're amazing man I think some good news man you and Gucci a real cool dad good you know yeah now do you like the old you know music wise do you prefer the old drugged-out gucci mane or the new cleanness over gucci mane I liked it I liked music wise I liked both of them but I'm glad that he did he know that the clean sober one you know because I don't want him to be it you know and no more trouble I want him to stay out hurt and I follow him on Instagram he looked he looked happier than ever you know his girl his girl his beautiful wife y'all say whatever getting married yeah you know I he moved to Florida or whatever it he lives there yeah okay at least that's what I heard yeah and it looks like Florida I don't want pictures but I guess she got him out of that environment that Atlanta environment yeah I don't know if he'd live in Florida for sure and I heard that he did exactly and like a nice neighborhood out there I was you know I'm happy that I'm happy to see him you know he's smiling he smiled a lot on the pictures probably everyone album oh yeah you know and he got a lot smile of Gucci Mane and he you know he totally you know he he he got out and he totally changed itself you know and that's a that's a good thing but that's what you're supposed to do right cuz Gucci was was crazy back in the day I mean I'm sure he's still crazy fun but you just don't hear about anymore Gucci incidents yeah you know I'm saying like because remember right before he got locked up it was just like a train wreck yeah he was here now it was like he went and dissed every rapper in Atlanta no no baby you gotta fight with someone at the mall with the police then finally they just locked him up okay wow man [ __ ] he came out looking great yeah lean look great you know had a six-pack because remember Gucci's to be fact he had their belly belly he look like way from you know Salwa that's how we all that's how we look at you guys that work together yeah dilash it a lot of shots man we got a real bad banger then I still do it shows how I'm never too much huh never too much okay anything planned with him no I ain't didn't know what Gucci know why I need to know I mean I got another song out together a solo song me and him collar what I look like weirdo guy it was dumb [ __ ] - I was like 2013 between your solo work your group with the mob you know the Mafia 6 and the three 6 mafia catalog how many albums have you sold all together we sold over 30 million records the last time we check 30 million but that also includes like some stuff that we produce for other people because she's over there production for Ludacris Young Buck their first album to g-unit you know a lot of you know stuff other people there's over 30 last time we checked it was a long long time ago 30 million albums and it's almost independent it was just a cool part about it so you have grossed about a almost half a billion dollars I ain't seen it coming with it I've seen a lot of money yeah we didn't get the phone oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes it gross yeah yeah yeah but you know groups and projects that you're involved with have made almost half a billion dollars yeah yeah you know I'm saying we're not even counting some of the movie [ __ ] in there you know I'm saying so definitely with that number half a billion dollars when you look at that huh how do you feel I feel great man you know the thing about three 6 mafia's like you know like people always said we was before our time you know cuz like the nineties sound is back now you know was a lot of people sampling that Theresa's mafia stuff you know clearing samples with me whatever you know they suffered a new plan designer just tear the club up yeah it's a buncha motto right about there the newer Jeezy car TV and they said rocky you got like a little cheddar Club of you know a little feel to it you know there's a lot of people drink though look John I gotta see our mega huge EDM hit out now Oh without hit a [ __ ] in it you know so a lot of people sampling that stuff man it you know feel like I'm buddy well making some bad rap but no good good I love making my ass about takeouts writing a beer go that mailbox get that shake and walk back up in a house publishing check take the phone take a picture head back down watch again love it love it oh yeah and once again this is this is the reason why I keep republishing you know right here because you're talking about what year did did you guys put your first piece of recorded music out it's been 27 years 20 79 right so almost 30 years later yeah you're not one of these struggling rappers who's you know I mean doing $500 shows and trying to scrape by and talking about how so-and-so owes you and you know you're the reason why so so blue you're mad about that you know like yeah man let's Gary too tricky man you gotta save your money you gotta invest it you know I invested my money you know I still do like me you having a conversation outside about you know you know you know you just got to do with man cuz you don't you don't know what what you're gonna be here tomorrow with this music cause it's not promised the one good thing about music versus other entertainments like acting or sports or this and that is we make our own schedule so when you know when we feel like it we can go in and make an album an actor can always go in and make them a movie you bring us you know as a obviously a lot of actors make way more money than rappers but but it's just it's a fun job but you just never know what's gonna work with you what's wrong working was not you know like what actors you know if you reading the script to Scarface you like no that's most what gonna work the heat or something like that but you know with your album you make a song all day and all your home's gonna be sitting up in there smoking weed there but I managed to [ __ ] and then come out and don't do [ __ ] like yeah you're right it was the [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] I mean when you talk about money I've always said this I've always said that it doesn't really matter what your paycheck is like unless your money is making money you're really broke yeah right so and you hear these stories of these artists singers football players basketball players ters who make a hundred million dollars and they're dead broke you know I'm saying yeah like like Bruce Jenner was dead broke by time you know Kris Jenner came in and helped him and he and he had been on Wheaties boxes and everything else like that when you look at your financial history what do you think with some of your best decisions and the reason why you're still financially stable today because I paid cash for every single thing I ever bought huh every car every house I got eight houses now oh you have eight thousands I don't live in Our Lady lobster but uh I got a you know you know I pay for everything I look at it like this I was like if I can't afford to pay for something cashed and I shouldn't get it cuz I don't know if you know you never know if you like if you go finance something you never know what tomorrow is gonna bring yesterday no I just never wanted to put myself in a situation like that so I just go I just pay them cash and just get I'm gonna tell you what made me stop paying cash for houses one went and we're men just about our first two houses our first houses there was next door to each other in our Memphis and the houses only costed $125,000 you know I was looking at the phone when I was filling out the papers to buy the house it was like whatever the period was for the for the finance I don't know Bills of 15,000 of a 15 year old finance or what it was but 125 125 thousand dollar house was gonna cost me about a half a million right over the years right because of the finance charges you know what back then that's when they was like super high yeah like ten percent with some crazy thing like you know three and a quarter like it is now whatever and I was like I have a million my what take a half of me doesn't go buy a half of me got a house right like a $125,000 house and put you know another 375 whatever enters the - you know the banks like it yeah so I'm like now I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do that I was like you know I did it for that house I kept the house for a little while and and I you know I sold it and I eventually moved into real you know almost meeting on the house or whatever you know I didn't like oh yours too or whatever but I was like no I'm not gonna hate nobody else bills like that you know I'm not saying it's nothing bad with it you know because sometimes I look at some stuff where I wish I didn't pay the cash flow you know like when a recession hit yeah yeah I lost my ass on the million dollar house [ __ ] in 2010 oh you would have lost it if you finance it also though yeah yeah because it would have been underwater yeah you know you would oh you would have had a you know a short sale or whatever yeah they give me a dose no say I'll tell you that hell no right so but but yeah yeah you're right so like I just always like because it's like this like if you if you if you finance our house right now and you get a loan for three and a quarter or 4% or whatever like your money sitting in the bank not gonna give you three and a quarter percentage back right so it don't make no sense for you to finance a you pay an owner's money and then your money is only making you you know for since you know the point your point forces of a percentage or some [ __ ] like that they don't make no it don't make no money I really have my money and some solid real estate somewhere you know where you can actually make some money off of it well yeah I mean I've always said this and people always get mad at me every time but I've always said that by financing a house is the biggest scam that people have ever been sold man they will eat you oh yeah I've always said that financing the house that you live in now when it comes to investment properties multi units or whatever I'm not speaking about that that's a little different business I'm talking about everyone says no you got to buy a house what you're throwing money away from rent like the house you went to that big house in Calabasas there you know yeah that was ready yeah you know I'm saying like I'll admit it freely like you know I mean you know and it's like that's the whole thing is that the house Michael Jackson died in we we we partied across the street from their house for years and didn't even know Michael Jackson lived there you know there was one of our houses at one no house that I actually bought not me it was one of my homeboys house and uh you know dead house Michael Jackson was renting that house prince was renting his house in LA yeah no dude a a lot of rich people actually read you'd be surprised most rich most rich people rent exactly yeah and I'm still trying to figure out the meaning behind that but you know I think it's cool if you if you want to move a lot cuz like the house now to you about that I lost it to me dollar house that allows you know I didn't lose the house but I lost four hundred fifty thousand dollars on the house yeah when the recession hit I wish I would have rent it instead of buying that house did that case you know because I wish I were in it in that case yeah I mean cuz I have two two houses now you know one on one on each coast both home are rented and all my money's in the stock market and I have done so much better every to every property that I have bought and sold and I've had to finance after all the fees and you know whatever else I've always just broken even know you know and I don't you know and then once I start investing in stocks that's when I really started making money yeah you know I mean like that's when the real money started coming in so really all my money is in stocks I don't have any money in real estate yeah you know and and my thing is if I'm gonna buy one of these big multi-million dollar houses I'm not gonna finance it or I'm gonna be sitting on ten times that amount in the bank yeah and it's not a big deal just to just to buy it you know but yeah financing it it's it's a scam it's a hustle yes it's hail man it's hair like I don't I don't like to do it they give you too much hair like you sitting up for months and months trying to see if it's gonna go through or whatever the case you know I don't read all kind of horror stories I there I wasn't seen because I got a real estate come down and see what other people go through for stuff so you know I you know I just I just rather just fade it is cuz like if I buy a house about house you know only thing I got to worry about the next year is that property tax even if you ain't got enough money to have lights on you can get that property tax money you know an HOA of you if you in the neighborhood that cost for that and that's the only money you got to make that dead here right and for example all my cars at least like the Tesla you know we were just talking about I would be able to least certain cars at least certain cars I buy you know like you know like the you know like an s550 I usually get every one of those that come out s550 at least those could they change every eight years you know I want everybody calm but like some classics stuff like that you know like even a newer car that I feel is a classic car you know our battles you know like a rolls-royce or some you know better because that's like something that it gets better as he gets older so you could actually sell for sell Rolls Royces for more money not all the time you got like us 1962 or something yeah but not right now I mean should they giving away Rolls Royce it's not hell right well you know everybody got one now right so so DJ Paul's financial advice is buy everything with cash and if you can't afford to buy it all with cash that just don't even touch it probably thinking about something else thinking about something and singing another prize think about some great advice man if you're gonna buy it you know just you know rent or whatever but you know bad just because I'm telling you in a long run in the long run you're gonna save money you know the finance charge they gonna go head over there right to sit down look at window papers everybody you know when you're getting a home loan you get approval I guess I'm so happy I got a home I got a sit down and look at that paper so when you look at like the legacy of DJ pon-3 6 mafia what do you think you're the most proud of of all the things that we've done yeah I would say just you know all the the two plaques and you know all the records we saw you know the gold and platinum flags on the walls and those you know the couple that I get up I got maybe 50 or 70 or some in the closet but those those are the main thing there you know you know it's hard for people to get those things these days you know I heard their little room I'm sure you did too today thinking about making gold be like 250,000 covers overseas they did it right so you know I'm just glad that we real confidence there and we got all this stuff you know back in the day when it was it's doable you'll hear about somebody having number one record out of some but it really wasn't it ain't that many records was actually really sold like back in the day if somebody had a number one number two album or something like that they probably so like you know 150,000 copies of some the first the first week or whatever but you know times have changed the streaming the streaming miss miss music a big time right because lil Uzi vert from 1.3 billion streams he banked around $900,000 yeah less than a million dollars off 1.3 billion streams yes the stream is crazy man yeah you know it's real it's real convenient for the you know the fans and all that but for the for the artists man it's terrible right you got to make your money through the touring and whatever other you know regulators you know that these major regulators hell they want something in my eternal about that 360 deal yeah [ __ ] you go sell a cup with your face all day I'm just wait I'm just waiting for them man legal marijuana to the contracts name you get y'all straining you already know we want that we want money if you have if you have kids during the course of this record contract get a piece of that too yeah crazy you know female rap around a problem tried give it to a child for something you got a state of California on power well there's a man DJ far always a pleasure man you look great by the way thank you don't say last year I went on a no sugar Daffy almost four months it worked hell yeah I start looking young and all kind of [ __ ] man but it was hell I want to kill myself oh yeah I've been vegetarian I go on and off like I vegetarian think about that man you just feel a lot better cuz you gotta think about it like you know like I got a dog that uh I just got on the phone with other vet you know I got paid to dad now so should I probably paid like thirty thousand dollars over the years for the medical stuff this dog I got a dog they got diabetes damn I had to give the shots twice it Wow but like I was hearing that it's a lot of animals got diabetes you know if you eat that [ __ ] you just a chance you're probably gonna get it too yeah real tough there's some scary thing I've been thinking about I've been dealing down I you know I'd a bit of a veggie burger today oh yeah yeah ain't no this is like 2002 you should try to do that there's something called a beyond meat you can get it at Whole Foods you see I'll put it up on your after after the interview but it's like yes these burgers that actually kind of bleed when you eat them you know they kind of simulate that is amazing I am stocked up right down now missed that part of me nobody down I'm mr. blood most times blood it's this I think it's me that got a beats or something like that realizes that most times it's not the meat that I really like so much it's the sauce and the seasoning yeah a lot of these dishes if you just remove the meat just have the sauce you like it about as much yeah I was cooking for I was cooking for a girlfriend of mine a female friend man one day you know and I was making pasta and I was using the Vichy veggie pastas you know tell me you know like the veggie foster not know flour whatever is gonna taste like I said it's gonna taste the same way yeah once I put this [ __ ] spaghetti sauce on this will be you ain't gonna disagree it is the exact same [ __ ] yeah man cuz you know I mean everyone everyone really tries to go hard in their 20s and they don't give a [ __ ] but you know I mean some of your best times happen in your 40s and your fifties you know I mean that's what you could ask live and like you know capitalize off all the work that you've done all these years well that's when you start to figure out you know where your where your where you going in life and where you is that's why in a lot of wheels you see like I was just reading this for for Britney Spears a lot of wheels and a lot of rich people I know they have in the wheel that the kids get the money at like 20 25 20 25 30 and all of it at 35 huh yeah that's when you really start to realize what's going on why so you don't [ __ ] it off and when you're 18 and be broke by 19 yeah just gotta give them a little bit yeah that's what it is man cuz you know you have a long life ahead of you and you just got to pace yourself you got to make those right decisions man yeah and I hate to say it man it's starting to look like forties is the new 80s yeah Ford around them over you got take a judoka doll let's just start catching up which
