3:46
record deal yeah this is after I'm I'm
3:48
already this after we got dropped yeah
3:50
and so you know it's like what do you do
3:52
and puffy had you know puffy had just
3:54
got fired simultaneously from uptown
3:57
Uptown so now he's so now he's doing his
3:59
bad boy thing from his house and I'm
4:01
living in my mother's basement working
4:02
and whenever he got to 19th Street I
4:05
managed to after work go you know go
4:08
rock with them you know I had my mom was
4:09
like every every Friday I need $150 on
4:11
that on that counter homie you drinking
4:13
up all this food you're using our
4:14
electric got the Shorties in the
4:16
basement and all this what's happening
4:17
you know what I'm saying p p something
4:20
on that
4:22
table wrong for that either though right
4:24
no she wasn't wrong that's how I raised
4:26
my daughters you know what I'm saying
4:27
like you know we going to still donate
4:28
to the cuse so um I got you know got go
4:31
to the studio and see see puffing them
4:33
doing little things and I managed to
4:35
find a hustle that he liked you know I
4:37
helped make the original Bad Boy
4:39
T-Shirts and was hitting them off with
4:40
cash cuz they were giving them away and
4:42
I turned I said don't give them away
4:43
sell them cuz they was eating them up
4:46
you made the logo no I made the shirts
4:48
the actual shirt Shir yeah to when he
4:50
first gave them away they made them as
4:52
promo I went to an event at the Rucker
4:54
and I saw they were giving them away and
4:55
they were eating them up like cracks so
4:57
the next week or day or two I went back
4:59
to to them and said can we make more but
5:01
let me show you how to sell them on the
5:04
street so I was selling them for $25 a
5:06
piece and the interns who weren't
5:07
working they don't get money right I
5:09
gave them all $10 a piece for every
5:10
shirt they sold so if I made 300 shirts
5:13
and you sold 60 shirts at $10 you just
5:15
made in made $6 $600 so how much you had
5:17
to kick back the puff I didn't have to
5:19
kick him back nothing I did because they
5:21
weren't expecting money back from him it
5:23
was promo marketing yeah so I could have
5:25
put it all in my pocket but one day I
5:26
walked up to him hand him $1,500 in the
5:28
club he looked at it what's this i t him
5:30
t-shirts he threw it in the air you know
5:33
popping bottles open ball4 hour you know
5:36
you know that type of thing and then the
5:37
next day he said make D dot more
5:39
t-shirts and that's how that happened
5:41
because now the interns are eating so
5:42
you don't have to worry about paying
5:43
interns now they can get on the train
5:44
and go home and not make an excuse to
5:46
not come back the next day cuz they
5:47
don't have money got money so now
5:49
they're making money he his cache steps
5:52
up and then you know they fast forward
5:53
The Branding of it also The Branding of
5:55
it so was this around the time cuz bad
5:57

6:11
the bookstore so I can carry a picket
6:12

6:14
I'm saying so and he saw that hustle one
6:16

6:42

7:09
wanted to be you want to be in that mind
7:11
think your music as a producer stood out
7:14
and cut through a little bit more
7:15
because of your skill as an MC and the
7:17
Artist as well because you had like the
7:19
MC in mind
7:21
too I wrote I make the beats to write to
7:24

7:29
Big E right and I'm scrapping it I'm an
7:30
MC so I I started making beats so I can
7:34
write Rhymes not to make beats Ron

17:12
the you gar yeah that's my Bop play
17:15
Hypnotize real quick I want to ask you a
17:18
question about this and when this song
17:20
first came turn that up turn that up
17:22
turn that up turn that up come on
17:25
man we on itg bgy you see man we got the
17:30
man the my dere D AKA The Mad rapper is
17:34
here we talking about black Rob's new
17:36
album Life Story 2 is out now I'm
17:38
featured on it Black Thought Faith fans
17:40
Kid Capri Diddy smoke Diz and many more
17:43
many more this song when it first came
17:45
out um first of all I was
17:49
I I had so many connections to Big
17:53
because when y'all came to the West
17:55
Coast y'all came by Sway and Tech world
17:57
famous wakeup show had to baby yeah out
17:59
of respect and his first visit in the
18:02
west coast in the bay was on our show
18:05
right um um we brought them we had a
18:08
promotion company StreetWise me and
18:09
Anthony doy AKA ad who worked for a bad
18:13
boy as well remember Anthony he and I
18:16
were Partners in the promotion company
18:17
in Northern California I was silent
18:20
right and so big Craig you silent sway
18:23
silent oh yall
18:25
silent studying the tap
18:30
I was very silent very silent yeah but
18:31
we were we wanted to make sure that the
18:34
artists got their Fair du because the
18:36
the the industry didn't know how to
18:37
promote outside of their regions right
18:39
right and we would tell people bring big
18:41
bring Craig Mac bring whoever and we
18:43
would show you how they could make
18:44
impact on Northern California and we had
18:47
La when that song came out that Herb
18:50
Albert sample I thought wow this is a
18:53
smart record because at the time it was
18:55
the tension was out at that time between
18:57
west east Co Big Bad Boy death for all
19:00
of that but as far as the consumer go
19:03
that song had a a universal Allure to it
19:06
it sound like and I know y'all didn't
19:08
mean it like it but it sounded like a
19:09
West Coast record to us yeah was that
19:12
intentional it wasn't intentional um
19:15
from a production standpoint and this is
19:17
just my personal
19:19
opinion we got more intricate on our
19:23
drums and snares and all this other
19:24
stuff out here it was really you know
19:26
Backpackers want to you know you got to
19:27
chop your [ __ ] up in the half and do all
19:29
take the voice out and spend 11 hours on
19:32
it put throwing it through a filter yeah
19:34
the West Coast was just you know much
19:37
more simpler the the Bops were much more
19:39
simpler the track making just didn't
19:42
seem as though they cared about all of
19:44
that whether or not it was triplicate in
19:46
one SE quadruple in one section and
19:48
whether or not it had this you know it
19:50
didn't seem like it so hypnotized was a
19:52
way for us to just keep it simple okay
19:55
and that's why we got the backlash we
19:58
did because it felt like there was no
20:00
work put into it for us but what I'm
20:03
saying did you not hear that Baseline is
20:05
played over those ain't the same drums
20:08
the sample don't go at the same speed we
20:10
added
20:12
the that's production yeah it wasn't
20:16
just Loop it
20:19
up okay biggie
20:22
go that's and that's the misn Noma about
20:25
how busy The Hitman got Herb Albert that
20:29
was the sample back then it was
20:31
impossible to clear artist like him how
20:33
did that happen he didn't like it he
20:36
didn't want to use it I guess he wasn't
20:38
to hip-hop you know some artists from
20:40
those those eras didn't Embrace hip-hop
20:43
the same way because it didn't attack
20:45
them or it didn't touch them in certain
20:47
ways and he was one of them and with all
20:49
due respect you know he changed his mind
20:52
obviously but his cousin Randy badass
20:55
shout out to Randy um he loved it and
20:58
Randy helped produce the original rid So
21:01
Randy heard it and said you got you got
21:04
to clear this record this is Biggie this
21:06
[ __ ] is hot they took out will'll get
21:08
you know basically we'll get paid for
21:10
the rest of our lives for this joint
21:12
though this is hot and he convinced him
21:14
and that's how it happened that's how
21:16
happened but Randy his cousin we had to
21:18
step in the R so shout out to Randy
21:20
badass yeah he killed it for us Randy
21:22
badass and to this day you know when
21:24
that when that mailman comes walking
21:27
across that lawn
21:30
shout out toand shout out to Randy
21:34
baby you got publishing on all those
21:36
songs right of course did you so when
21:38
puff recently gave folks artists back
21:41
publishing were you included in that or
21:43
I have nothing to do with that I own I
21:45
own all my publishing 100% every
21:47
copyright is in my name I never did any
21:49
deals with anybody to to do that part of
21:51
it I was a rapper in 1990 I got spanked
21:55
once I didn't need to get spanked twice
21:56
yeah right fool me once
21:58
fo me twice so puff I'll do business
22:00
with you we'll hang out we'll do all of
22:02
that other stuff but you hold yours and
22:04
I hold mine and I didn't need it I'm a
22:06
hustler so I didn't need it most of
22:08
these people it was that more that they
22:10
gave it up was out of need or you know
22:13
they from the hood it wasn't smart
22:15
business decisions yeah most of it if
22:17
you weighed it out it was probably
22:19
because we broke and that you know that
22:22
dangling carrot that dangling carrot
22:24
looks real tasty with some ketchup on it
22:26
so that's most of the those people
22:28
probably caught that I'm going ask you
22:30
one more big question his his his
22:32
mindset at that time when y'all were
22:33
making this music what what was it like
22:35
was he was he under pressure
22:38
or you know what people don't know is if
22:41
you stop at life after death the very
22:44
first thing is that's his fifth album
22:47
technically okay how so ready to die
22:50
ready to die right he wrote Junior
22:52
mafia's album he wrote Little Kim's
22:54
album and then he wrote two albums for
22:56
himself a life after death that's
22:58
technically Five albums in the analog
23:00
era not digital analog and he was able
23:04
to give hits to puffy people various
23:07
other people be on their records Michael
23:09

33:55
thumbnail on it yeah that's a great
33:57
question you know what I'mma tell you
33:59
two stories real quick fast stories um
34:02
M's old manager Cuda had a friend that
34:05
found Nelly in Atlanta I heard
34:10
it it's probably one of them days I
34:12
didn't
34:17
smoke was off your was off my [ __ ] was
34:20
off I was off my Square so I might have
34:22
missed on Nelly wow imagine that can you
34:25
imagine played you Country Grammar no
34:28
they played Country Grammar no how you
34:30
not hear that if I didn't hear that I I
34:31
shouldn't be in the game they just
34:33
played Me Nelly who he was and I just
34:35
you know I didn't I didn't get it at
34:36
that time and like I said I should have
34:38
puffed but I didn't um and then um the
34:41
other one that necessarily didn't get
34:42
away but I didn't I wasn't my goal was
34:45
not to manage and none of that was Nicki
34:47
Minaj i i i u found Nikki on my space
34:52
and she was really cool you know you can
34:54
listen to music and um I told who I was
34:57
and she knew who I was and I invited her
34:59
to Daddy's house and she came with a
35:01
little nice little cute little girl they
35:02
looked like a group they were so cute
35:03
both of them and she actually wrote a
35:05
verse for me and I was so impressed with
35:07
her that I called Little Kim on the
35:09
phone and said I think I have your
35:11
Proto um and called her Hillary Weston
35:14
but at that time you know that's not
35:15
what they their mindset was but I said
35:17
Kim I'd like you to do a record with her
35:19
so Kim had a verse from a old freestyle
35:21
that I had that I had so I I used the
35:24
verse on the song with Nikki and said
35:25
I'd like and I sent it to her and
35:27
Hillary I said this is how I'd like her
35:28
to come on this record like this is an
35:31
example of the record and I had my hook
35:33
on it chorus and all that stuff on it
35:35
already and you know the answer was
35:38
never came back never did it and a few
35:40
months later it got leaked oh so if you
35:43
ever hear a record called everything out
35:45
there with little Kim and Nicki maaj
35:46
that's my record with me on it but it
35:48
was never meant to be heard but the goal
35:50
was I wanted Kim at least and this is
35:53
before De Anthony this is before cash
35:55
money this is when she had um fendy mhm
35:59
fendy right ear mixtape Nikki right so I
36:02
tried mixtape Nikki right so I tried to
36:04
connect her with Kim super early and it
36:07
didn't work I still have the song So
36:09
shout out to Nikki but Nikki was open to
36:10
doing the song with Kim though well Nick
36:12
she didn't know we were going to do a
36:14
song she just came she she was just
36:16
coming to do a record with me I thought
36:17
she was dope it was called she was Nicki
36:19
Mirage and it had Minaj and like
36:21
quotations or something I was like oh
36:22
and I saw I was like oh this is she
36:24
reminded me of Yummy Bingham remember
36:25
yummy Bing she reminded me of yummy and
36:27
I was like o she hot she sexy she cute
36:29
so I invited her to come through like
36:31
come late do something she wrote that
36:32
verse right then and there laid it for
36:34
me and did her thing and so I just said
36:37
you know Kim oh my God like let's not do
36:40

37:20
just be real with you watching his
37:22
interviews like I said I was doing my
37:23

37:25
there like I don't want to be funny Mt
37:28
Rapp all over his album again I need
37:30
something that he says I need things
37:31
that Rob does and I watch three or two
37:34
Sway in the Morning interviews and I
37:36
said oh I got my skits and I got my [ __ ]
37:37
right here because y'all were going into
37:40
some some stuff about his C about his um
37:42
his stresses and life and coming home
37:44
from jail and he cried and somebody else
37:46

37:48
crying I was like oh I need all of that
37:51
I started editing like you know what I
37:53
mean like and so yeah so this show
37:55
definitely helped us with that so thank
37:57
you absolutely man it was you know it
38:00
was like I said like the first life
38:03
story came out in 2000 so that's the
38:05
year I came to New York right so I'm com
38:09
so you coming in with wo I'm coming in
38:11

everything you know what I mean I got
38:25
three shows man and that five golden
38:30
ring I just say man but but when Rob
38:34
came up here the last
38:36
time it was important because he had
38:40
some tough times he went through some
38:42
tough times with his illness um he went
38:45
through tough times with his career and
38:47
we were seeing him in ways that we
38:50
didn't want to see any of our heroes you
38:53
know and I thought it was important
38:54
because he wanted to come talk and he
38:57
knew it was a space he could uh really
38:59
talk in I think he might have had a
39:01
stroke or um and he was going through
39:04
all these physical ailments kidney
39:05
failure kidney failure and the industry
39:08
was laughing at some points people were
39:10
saying he looked bad and it was
39:12
important for him to tell his story in a
39:14
safe space in a safe space so one of the
39:17

part two cuz I part four five cuz I was
42:38
trying to jump erors but I I love to do
42:40
a thorough job um you felt like they
42:44
weren't showing Black Rob Love Enough
42:47
Love Enough Love Love for who for what
42:50
he's donated to the cause and just his
42:53
skill set is he's one of the best
42:55
storytellers ever yeah just listen to
42:56
the stories speak to that though you you
42:59
give them the love and then they can
43:00
learn yeah Black Rob to me is one of the
43:03
illest storytellers ever and the most
43:05
Mis one of the most misunderstood MCS
43:08
because again nobody's path is perfect
43:10
in this industry so you have to be in
43:12
what do they call him purists to really
43:15
know the the the his path the way you
43:18
know it should be this album Life Story
43:21
2 was really just a old to him and that
43:23
and a old to what we would have been in
43:26
2023 24 in this producer rapper era
43:30
where Nas and hip boy doing it and this
43:33
person in Little Wayne and and maybe
43:35
future or whatever you know whoever's
43:37
connecting that I me and Rob would have
43:39
did that and we'd have did that really
43:41
really good we were just Kindred Spirits
43:43
you know what I'm saying um and then
43:45
also he didn't get celebrated the way
43:47
other MC's in their death got celebrated
43:50
no disrespect to them we all they all
43:52
should be celebrated but some of them
43:53
were pedestaled up a little higher MH
43:56
than Rob just based on the impact as
43:58
they probably should have been but you
43:59
know in dep we should all you know
44:02
celebrate them equally especially if
44:03
they had an impact and um and affected
44:06
lives so he affected my life he affected
44:08
everybody's life around him so I just
44:09
wanted to pay a little tribute to him I
44:10
figur we and and I got you know 49 songs
44:13
sitting what's going you know so might
44:16
as well does the family benefit from
44:17
this absolutely everybody black family
44:19
does everybody does yes his estate is
44:21
well taken care of his lawyer and his
44:23
manager Jamal make sure whatever money's
44:25
coming and you know he still gets
44:26
records cleared for samples and people
44:28
want to use records so you know I I'm
44:30
not intricately involved with the family
44:33
business but yeah but I would hope that
44:34
you know they're going to be Tak care
44:36
it's going to be taken care how would
44:37
you navigate as somebody that was really
44:39
close to the artist and then um and they
44:42
worked with the artist and then the
44:43
artists have a discrepancy with the
44:45
label they feel like they're not being
44:46
paid to just do they get dropped you see
44:49
artists down and out after they leave
44:51
that label how how did you navigate your
44:54
relationships with the artist that they
44:55
would they come to you at all some of
44:58
them did some of them didn't I mean I I
45:00
live by this was told in shootouts to
45:02
stay low and keep firing okay
45:05
um and I'm also the type to mind my
45:08
business you know the seven
45:09
characteristics of a wise man is speak
45:11
when spoken to so one of them so I I
45:14
just mind my business you know I've been
45:16
through it I was an artist yeah I I know
45:18
what it's like to with no Vaseline you
45:19
know what I'm saying that that contract
45:21
just makes you
45:22
feel violated you just feel like so know
45:26
what that's like so but I also know that
45:28
there's lawyers and managers and mothers
45:30
and fathers and uncles that could be
45:31
advising people so some of this is
45:33
self-inflicted so my compassion is semi
45:35
low you know what I'm saying because we
45:38
could have taken care of it because
45:39
there are some that don't have those
45:40
stories because they were thorough
45:42
enough yeah to take care of their
45:43
business contractually so as so as some
45:47
of them were leaving and having problems
45:48
I just say listen that has nothing to do
45:50
with me and if you're going to judge our
45:52
relationship off of that then have a
45:53
nice day yeah and the ones that didn't I
45:56
still have relationship with them to
45:57
