Jay-Z Was Not Gangster | Joe Rogan & Freeway Rick Ross

how many people think do you think actually know the story the whole story the real story your story of you and and this guy who calls himself Rick Ross I think older people know uh but younger people don't they don't get it wow they they they they're not educated on facts you know they don't go with facts they go with what they hear on the radio uh what their local DJ talks about those are the things that they go with and and we already know that the local DJ is getting paid by the record companies so that's what they believe I believe that they really believe that um Jay-Z got R selling drugs you know they they believe that I don't believe JayZ got rich selling drugs you know he doesn't act like a drug dealer in in my personal opinion um what's the difference doing the way he acts well well drug dealers are kind of like we're looking for somebody to help come up because when you help him come up you come up you know say for instance if I find a guy he's down on his luck and I give him a kilo he starts to sell this kilo I benefit every time he sells that kilo because I get a percentage right of what he does but the way the record business works is they don't help anybody you know when when they get on top they just stay there and it's almost like they're Gatekeepers you know they don't want other people to get in um me I would have been looking for somebody like me getting out of jail oh Rick Ross is getting out of jail oh my goodness I'm gonna be at the gate when he get out I'mma show him everything he's supposed to do get him right because I know he has he has the discipline he has the focus that he's going to make it yeah but don't you think that that's just you I think you have a unique perspective but that's a drug dealer's perspective is it really a successful drug dealer's perspective a successful drug dealer perspective let me correct that most of the drug dealers I was around was successful um because I used to try to teach him I taught him what but I did you know when they was young I was show hey this what you do this how you do this who you look for and so you're probably right a successful drug dealers perspective and most successful drug dealers go to prison and so we know Jay-Z didn't go to prison even though he was in the car with uh uh I think Calvin Klein when when he got arrested uh da let Jay-Z go that's that's the story that I heard I'm not I'm not totally sure how he was in a car with Calvin Klein were they talking about jeans what were they doing no there's a guy named Calvin Klein that was different guy from New York oh and Cal Calvin Klein a drug D he was a drug D oh okay I didn't know that yeah he was a drug D from I thought you mean like no one no no no this was a drug dealer out of New York um oh hilarious so he took Calvin Klein's name like Rick Ross took your name that's his name was really Calvin Klein that's possible no I think the guy real name was Calvin Klein really oh that's real that was really his name you know um cuz he was a real Street guy went to prison and in in the whole nine yards but it's a story that that talks about that how Jay-Z was in the car with him when he got arrested and you know he didn't get arrested so more than likely that meant that and and in my experience if you in a car with a drug dealer and the cops raid they take everybody that was involved so that tells me that Jay-Z wasn't involved with that that activity got it at least at that time that they knew right then usually the DA they they watch you and some of them when they're not lazy but how what is it like in the world like if you rap about selling drugs and about how you were selling drugs but you weren't selling drugs that can't be looked upon well if you're lying you're making up a fake persona it shouldn't be right it shouldn't be back you know in the 990s when when when you know when rap was supposed to been authentic you know people wrote Their Own lyrics and right and and that stuff it was a little different than the way it is right now you know now you know people can write your lyrics you can steal people's names you can steal their verses uh it it's just totally different than than the way it used to be you know um you can buy your way to the top now you know you don't have to have talent necessarily the most talented guys are not the guys who who are running the industry a lot of The Talented guys are producers too right they can kind of make anybody famous yeah if you have some talent and a look and you go pay the right producer because yeah well there's a lot of examples music is is you know music is is programming you know you hear the sound and you like that sound and that's why we hear the same sound sound over and over on the radio because it's the same producers that are producing the music like I'm just waiting to get my money right so I can go to the producers and be like hey I know you want been putting all these guys on I got a guy for you put him on We Ready how much you need 100,000 do it because that that's really what it is you know it's only a few guys who who music you hear on the radio over and over again wow but then you have people who just stand out just because of talent still you still have that once once in a while you know want a breakthrough you know you get somebody that's like super super good and and and you know their music just just break through but that's rare they still got to have some money you got to you got to pay Facebook and Tik Tok Gatekeepers and yeah yeah there's just there's a lot it's an industry right there's a lot of money involved as soon as there's a lot of money involved there's control people want to maintain control of that they don't want someone coming along
