1:20
trying to say with the accent and if he

said to dj mugs one day after they had
1:26
an entire freestyle session on their way
1:29

1:46

1:51
make be real like the paul newman of
1:53
hip-hop like
1:54
products you know what i mean because i
1:56
was i was high one day in the
1:57
supermarket and
1:59
we were we're working on a lot of stuff
2:00
on the weed side of the world yeah yeah
2:02
you're right and then i was like
2:05
saw all these pot was in one aisle paul
2:06
newman dressing oh i'm salad dressing
2:08
then i saw some popcorn then in the
2:10
freezing aisle there was something and i
2:11
was like this is crazy he got lemonade
2:13
and everything yeah i was like
2:15
i need to make beer there needs to be a
2:17
legit side of this whole thing not just
2:18
concentrating on the weed bring the weed
2:20
culture out of the weed culture i mean
2:22
into the main culture so we're working
2:24
on that right that's my brother to this
2:25
day because of that fact that that night
2:28
he went home and was like monks you
2:29
better [ __ ] with that dude or you're
2:31
crazy that's what be real said to mugs
2:33
and then the first song you recorded was
2:36
jump around jump around so where were
2:38
y'all [ __ ] hold up we got everlasting
2:41
okay okay okay okay
2:43
everlast lived on the same street that
2:46
tink king tech and i still live on okay
2:48
remember hip boy said i live on this
2:50
street now i think hip boy got your
2:52
house is that right i feel like hip boy
2:54
got your house well my house was the was
2:56
the top of the street
3:00
he wouldn't even honk at us when he
3:01
passed our house
3:04
y'all were right at the stop sign there
3:06
i remember i don't i don't forget dude
3:08
yeah we was right at the stop sign so
3:09
that tripped me out though cause that
3:10
was like 10 years after kml almost like
3:13
where i was like you're my [ __ ]
3:14
neighbor now dude that was crazy that
3:16
was crazy man and um and that just told
3:19
you we were at the bottom of the little
3:21
hill that he was at the top of he's in
3:23
the middle don't don't let him don't
3:24
tell you he was like in the middle he
3:26
wasn't at the bottom hey so what you
3:28
when you think about this house of pain
3:30
album celebrating 30 years
3:33
come on man that's got to be surreal for
3:35
you are you even attached to jump around
3:36
still surreal dude it's like
3:39
writing louie louie or something like
3:40
that like at this point it's
3:43
it's i'm kind of detached from it
3:45
because it's so it belongs it's one of
3:47
them things belongs to the world now i
3:49
mean
3:50
it's the silliest song ever but it's fun
3:52
as [ __ ] so
3:53
i did an acoustic version like on an
3:55
album just for fun and when i slowed it
3:58
down and made an acoustic song and
3:59
you're kind of singing the lyrics you
4:00
realize how silly they are
4:03
to pack it up pack it up pack it in let
4:06
me begin i came to win battle me that's
4:08
a si it's just rhymes there's no
4:11
there's nothing in there telling a story
4:13
or leading you anyways just like i'm
4:15
going to keep rhyming just rhyming do
4:17
you think that was part of the secret to
4:19
the success though it was just a fun
4:21
record i mean i think that's the only
4:22
the way that record played out was crazy
4:24
because like it was just like a long
4:26
freestyle the horn wasn't in it yet it
4:28
was just
4:29
changing
4:30
and mugs was like here i got this beat
4:32
ice cube didn't want it
4:33
be real didn't want it
4:35
i was like wow alright i'm on it
4:38
i ron it didn't have the horn in it yet
4:40
okay which was a game-changer of this of
4:42
the thing once i laid these lyrics
4:45
and it was just basically a freestyle
4:47
and i was a big shaba ranks fan and all
4:48
this so there was a line in the song
4:50
where i was like jump around if you love
4:52
freedom jump around if you love culture
4:55
just that
4:56
but mugs had just come off the road of
4:58
cyprus's first promo run with leaders of
5:01
the new school
5:02
and they would open their shows with
5:04
getting the crowd just shut up another
5:06
case of that yeah their first thing they
5:09
jump jump
5:10
so [ __ ] mugs came home he heard me
5:12
say that line he's like yo get rid of
5:13
the [ __ ] the the
5:15
freedom dance hall part yeah he's like
5:17
just say jump around and i was like okay
5:18
he's like and then we're going to say
5:19
jump so he he saw that what i you know
5:22
he took was reminded by that by my line
5:25
and then just said this is what we're
5:26
going to do we did that and then he was
5:27
scratching around
5:29
and it was divine styler's record the
5:31
horn on there
5:32
and i was like and the connection for me
5:34
with my styler i was like that's crazy
5:37
right graffiti with divine salary he's
5:39
my studio manager to this day
5:41
he's a divine stylist he's in my studio
5:43
right now that's my brother dude you
5:45
know i mean we keep it 100 around my way
5:48
you know he got me in the game he'll see
5:50
me out the game so you got to know
5:52
devine we talked about this last time he
5:54
was up here but divine styler had to be
5:56
gave a lot of people their style oh
5:59
especially coming off the website
6:00
swagger jack by many many people he
6:02
don't get credit for the credit dude why
6:04
not
6:06
he was a little he's one of them castle
6:07
was just way ahead of his curve you know
6:09
i mean like people weren't ready for his
6:11
i mean still that ain't saying knocking
6:12
record try to try to [ __ ] with the
6:14
lyrics periodic measures to say my
6:16
rhymes too much to this dope negro type
6:18
slow of a poet's tree let me grow my
6:20
leaves pull up my branches roll up my
6:22
sleeves yo i mean that's 1988.
6:26
there's cats that can't [ __ ] with that
6:27
now i'm serious like and there's a song
6:29
on his record called tongue of labyrinth
6:31
that's
6:31
just
6:32
it's dumb he was he was a mad scientist
6:34
way ahead of his time hey tone look for
6:36
a divine styler what's it called with
6:38
some tone of map labyrinth tongue of
6:40
labyrinth tonga labyrinth let's see if
6:42
we can find that man okay billion cells
6:45
of additional walls or years a wall
6:48
365 days tall with my tongue on the
6:50
floor third eye flies over top and watch
6:53
oh my god his lyrics were code it was
6:55
crazy divine stylist so he's in your
6:57
studio
6:58
right now he's in it he paused he's in
7:00
everything i do my rhymes are in
7:02
everything he taught me how to run
7:04
basically taught me how to graffiti like
7:05
i was his son before that was a black
7:07
thing to say about somebody you know i
7:09
mean somehow it seems like nowadays
7:11
that's not a cool thing to say well we
7:12
got all of them
7:25
there you go so how did you meet him
7:27
like uh at his fa his family's
7:30
descending cali he was from brooklyn so
7:32
he's getting a lot of trouble in school
7:34
and you have to go to summer school but
7:35
his father lived in cali apparently so
7:36
he gets sent out there
7:38
and we had a mutual friend the guy below
7:40
who actually wanted to be my producer
7:42
back then the lao bashir
7:44
and uh i was with another kid that wrote
7:47
graffiti that knew him and i met him and
7:48
we just started hanging out at 16. i've
7:50
known that guy since i was 16. yeah who
7:52
would you say everlast then is your son
7:55
do you have one oh there's tons of them
7:57
out there i mean anybody that like
7:59
picks a guitar and considers themselves
8:01
rapping or anything there's a lot
8:02
there's like a whole scene of like what
8:04
the there's these like yellow wolf has
8:06
told me before like yo you're
8:07
responsible for a whole scene out yeah
8:10
and and uh you know i took that very
8:13
humble i was like wow that's crazy you
8:14
know but a lot of those dudes will
8:16
shoot me messages like yo if you hadn't
8:18
made whitey force things to blues we
8:19
wouldn't realize country and rap were
8:21
cool together
8:23
so that kind of thing i think i sung
8:24
that kind of realm you know i don't know
8:26
how many if there's many
8:28
straight hip hop what about you and kid
8:30
rock
8:31
how did y'all get along
8:32
i mean every time i know bobby but he's
8:34
a good guy
8:36
a few times we hung out and stuff it was
8:37
all cool it wasn't no comparison though
8:40
not really because we were similar but
8:42
very different i think i think he was
8:43
more of that southern rock kind of thing
8:45
i was more just like neil youngy
8:48
we were kind of
8:50
he was leonard skinner i was neil young
8:51
okay
8:53
we weren't but we didn't beef like got
8:54
in b-flat yeah okay because i always
8:56
thought you had a similarity but i also
8:57
thought your style on jump around was
9:00
reminiscent of um be real oh absolutely
9:03
okay what happened with that was you
9:05
know i by that time
9:07
when we first hung out on that freestyle
9:09
session i heard the first cypress hill
9:10
album for the first time okay and uh
9:13
obviously short-circuited my brain when
9:15
i heard that like anybody else at the
9:17
time
9:18
and then after getting the call from
9:19
mugs like come [ __ ] around i had to
9:21
listen to that record a few times by the
9:22
insult i was really pumped up and fired
9:24
up by be real and and his he had
9:26
reignited my
9:28
passion to rhyme
9:29
at that time i was already starting
9:31
a band like a rap rock band we were it
9:34
was and and
9:36
um we killed it because that mtv
9:39
unplugged came out that's right and
9:41
every single rapper after that decided
9:43
they wanted to have a band and it was
9:44
like oh well that stole the and then
9:46
muggs played me that album and it went
9:48
so far in the other direction it would
9:49
it hit me like funky from ultra magnetic
9:52
hit me wow or rebel without a pause when
9:54
i first heard it that's how the entire
9:56
first cypress hill album hit me so i
9:59
definitely was
10:00
playing around with be real's realm at
10:02
that moment uh-huh yeah yo man we got
10:04
everlast here uh from house of pain and
10:07
it's a 30th anniversary deluxe edition
10:10
with remastered tracks that's out right
10:12
now so every last is getting streaming
10:14
money heather b i ain't mad at it either
10:16
he's streaming baby i do all right you
10:18
do all right you know
10:20
house of pain um let's just we we spoke
10:23
on this before just but just for
10:24
clarification the name came from the h.g
10:27
wells novel right or did it not um
10:31
yeah the way danny boy
10:34
had a uh you know
10:36
tons of records and tapes and [ __ ] and i
10:37
remember seeing his tapes one day in his
10:39
house and there was a tape called house
10:41
of pain and i was like what is that
10:42
because i wanted to hear i was like
10:44
curious
10:46
punk rack demo i did that's horrible he
10:48
was like i'm never playing it for you
10:50
whatever it's like i love that name i
10:52
connected it because with because of um
10:55
that movie when i was young uh the
10:57
island of dr moreau uh-huh yeah so h.j
11:00
wells wrote that i'm not i'm not sure
11:01
yeah yeah um i only saw the movie i
11:03
never read the book i'm ashamed to say i
11:05
never read that book yeah
11:06
but i thought so the movie resonated
11:09
with that whole like animals man like
11:10
for some reason i saw it as a very young
11:12
man so it like kind of one of the movies
11:14
that kind of affected me
11:15
i saw apocalypse now when i was like 12
11:17
2. like [ __ ] me up like that was kind of
11:19
one of those things when i heard house
11:20
of pain
11:21
i was like i really like the name and
11:23
then [ __ ] we started incorporating it
11:24
into the demos like the movie stuff so
11:27
yeah it was heavily influenced by that
11:28
but
11:29
danny boy picked it because of an oingo
11:32
boingo song that was based on that movie
11:34
okay so it all kind of ties into the
11:36
movie but there's uh there was a oingo
11:37
blanco song called no spilled blood
11:39
that's an old school crew oh they were
11:41
amazing danny elfman i'm unfamiliar yeah
11:45
danny elfman he's like famous he scores
11:47
movies and [ __ ] now but like him and his
11:49
band they were like a punk rock new wave
11:50
band in late 80s and but they were
11:53
amazing it was like nine dudes horn
11:54
section like it was that sounds funny
11:56
they were in the realm of fish bone if
11:58
you're familiar with fish bone so like
12:00
they fish bone only go boing were like
12:02
the two most powerful bands of that name
12:05
yeah they used to have a halloween show
12:07
at irvine meadows which doesn't even
12:09
exist anymore uh it was amazing with
12:11
like the day of the dead puppy it was
12:13
the most amazing like show ever
12:15
did y'all catch any like y'all these
12:18
guys were unapologetic brash irish dudes
12:21
running through hip-hop like yo we own
12:23
this game i don't know about um
12:28
that's right but they were definitely
12:30
embraced they were embraced but there
12:32
was some cocky ass dudes we were in a
12:34
lot of places we probably shouldn't have
12:35
gone but i don't know if we say we owned
12:37
anything okay but did i ever catch beef
12:40
when y'all went places just
12:42
not for the reasons you might think like
12:44
as far as hip-hop or us not being
12:46
welcome doing it i mean we'd have beef
12:48
just from drunken madness because we
12:50
inspired that kind of dumb [ __ ] you know
12:54
like our our original goal was to be
12:56
like the beastie boys on steroids like
12:58
you know like actual like if the beastie
13:01
boys actually forgotten fights and [ __ ]
13:03
that was our goal like don't ask me why
13:05
but at 20 that seems like a cool thing
13:06
to do yeah um like we were talking the
13:09
other night me and caves and it was like
13:10
you remember like when we used to go out
13:11
and we didn't know if we were fighting
13:12
or [ __ ] and either
13:13
neither mattered we were cool how are
13:15
the night ends it's all right
13:21
sometimes
13:22
somebody somehow somebody getting up
13:24
like somebody somebody again now me or
13:27
somebody you know so what's the worst
13:29
fight you could recollect you guys had
13:31
like what was it what was it that when
13:32
y'all shot the video the house of the
13:34
jump around video the worst fight i ever
13:37
had
13:40
i don't know
13:41
and the worst like damage i ever took
13:43
was from a fight that wasn't even a
13:45
fight like i was in a club talking to
13:47
some girl and i guess apparently she had
13:48
a man he didn't like she was talking
13:49
reached over the top
13:52
my eyelid was hanging down like open i
13:55
thought my eye was open but it was
13:56
closed and i could see and then i
13:58
touched my face it's covered in blood
14:00
and then like eight or nine of my dudes
14:02
dragged that dude through the club
14:04
it was bad i didn't even get to put
14:06
hands on him as much as i wanted to it
14:07
was like he was already done for sure
14:09
did you and any of the um other guys in
14:11
house of pain did y'all ever get into a
14:12
fight oh yeah oh yeah we don't need to
14:15
talk about it but yeah we've we had our
14:16
share we were really you don't need to
14:18
talk about a study at an anniversary no
14:20
because i mean honestly in all fairness
14:22
two of them ain't here okay so but yes
14:24
we did we had there were physical
14:26
altercations uh like about three or four
14:28

gatorade just wrote me one so
16:25
oh my gosh
16:30
wow yeah
16:32
so there's a good one coming down the
16:34
pipeline right now good for you you know
16:36
good for you man everyone's you know
16:38
it's it's it's it's funny man because
16:41
it's just a crazy thing to to think
16:43
about it like when you see something
16:44
like that wisconsin
16:46
football tradition they got between like
16:48
right before the fourth quarter with the
16:50
whole stadium they do just jump around
16:52
and you get to jump around every game
16:54
and they play that in the stadium i
16:55
think it was voted like the number one
16:57
best college football like tradition
17:00
like in the like again they jump around
17:02
and then you get paid every time they
17:03
play it um yeah but that's not a lot
17:06
that's like a fee you know an ad
17:07
you know a bmi or an ascap fee kind of
17:09
thing but uh but we do business together
17:12
with them a lot you know okay but it's
17:13
just because i mean even [ __ ] all the
17:15
business of that just to watch that 30
17:17
years later a hundred thousand
17:18
culturally 20 year old kids yeah the
17:20
cultural impact like not
17:22
my generation
17:24
two generations down almost is still
17:27
bumping to it is kind of crazy to me you
17:29
know but i i
17:30
over this little last few months of
17:32
discussing all this anniversary stuff i
17:34
really came into conclusion that mrs
17:36
doubtfire plays a huge part
17:38
in this song because they put it in the
17:40
movie because people that saw it as a
17:42
kid now play it for their kids yeah and
17:45
that scene is pivotal in that movie it's
17:47
like it's like in the within the first
17:48
10 minutes of the movie and it's
17:50
dancing with the goats and you know it's
17:52
it's a crazy thing and i think it just
17:54
perpetuates and there's a few other kid
17:56
films now that we we we shoot for those
17:58
films we jump around because it does
17:59
that yeah it introduces it to the next
18:02
generation of kids you know
18:04
and that's i learned it actually from
18:06
[ __ ] with the doors because they
18:07
weren't
18:08
they would they would come they would
18:10
come over to fredrick's house you know
18:12
frederick
18:14
and they were always looking for people
18:15
to sample their stuff unlike other
18:16
people they wanted hey hold on hold on
18:19
stop stop wait hold up
18:21
wait did you say the doors used to come
18:23
to fredrick's house rayman zarik and
18:25
robbie krieger yeah i always used to
18:26
come to fredrik's house yeah
18:28
god bless jim morrison
18:30
wow
18:31
i didn't know that i like that
18:33
you know swaying king tech brought fred
18:35
red to l.a
18:36
that's my brother man frederick
18:39
fred is my brother i know you guys are
18:41
tight like i know he's baby he used to
18:42
live we gave fred a bedroom in the house
18:44
but i'm saying i don't know if you know
18:46
how like
18:47
how much family he is to me at this
18:48
point
18:49
i know he's yes yeah i do i do i know
18:52
dude i gotta tell you i got stories
18:54
about fred munich they aren't
18:56
appropriate for this hair right here but
18:58
got a lot of layers to them oh
19:01
so the doors would come damn that is
19:03
crazy that's bananas and i remember
19:05
talking them in there like any and they
19:07
would say like hey anybody you know and
19:08
that wants to [ __ ] with our stuff let us
19:10
know because they knew they understood
19:12
like it just all that is is perpetuating
19:14
the catalogue down the road we sampled a
19:16
dora's song uh for the bombs album
19:18
brothers under madness um that was a
19:21
group out of debate i remember brother
19:25
and they were mad expensive
19:27
oh i didn't say they were cheap yeah
19:29
that was the most expensive sample we we
19:32
had on the price but i think that was a
19:33
while back that wasn't since then they
19:35
came they became more reasonable about
19:37
it and understood the benefits to it i
19:39
think at that time it was probably just
19:40
like oh you're stealing our [ __ ]
19:42
streaming all this digital [ __ ] changed
19:44
everything for these guys because they
19:45
understood
19:47
oh we value a lot of money doing this
19:49
and letting these guys do this even if
19:50
it's small pieces of a lot of little
19:52
things uh-huh so okay everlast hanging
19:54
out with so that just brings me to this
19:56
then because i'm fascinated by it
19:58
because you seemed and tell me if i'm
19:59
wrong you seemed excited talking about
20:02
like mrs doubtfire gatorade like just
20:04
watching it even the football games but
20:06
then like when you google the song
20:08
sometimes it pops up that you stop the
20:10
former president from playing [ __ ] that
20:13
dude yeah so i'm just like no but that's
20:16
anyone that [ __ ] with him
20:19
listen
20:20
i'm 1 000 a million percent with you but
20:23
how does that work then because the same
20:25
way you give permission how do you stop
20:27
it did you just send a letter because i
20:28
own the copyright to the lyrics
20:31
[Music]
20:38
yeah but anyway go back to that though
20:41
yeah so how do you no i just
20:43
do was playing it as rallies and i just
20:45
didn't take very kindly to it i'm like
20:47
ah then you're that's that's like saying
20:49
i'm co-signing your [ __ ] yep [ __ ] you
20:52
that's what it made it happen
20:53
who do you send that message to um just
20:56
my just my lawyers okay and they figured
20:58
it out yeah they figured out it's decent
21:00
cease in the system that's interesting
21:02
so
21:04
dude i lost like 40 000
21:06
followers on facebook and other places
21:09
like immediately
21:10
and then gained back like 70. it was
21:13
crazy
21:16
it was wild i was like oh man i mean
21:19
it was just crazy but like yeah no [ __ ]
21:21
that dude so how do you
21:24
uh rectify that with kid rock who's an
21:26
avid supporter of that dude he's your
21:28
friend
21:29
and you say [ __ ] that dude and everybody
21:31
that support him um well i would say
21:33
that as far as that part [ __ ] him on
21:35
that part but like okay and calling him
21:37
my friend isn't is we don't hang out
21:39
what i'm saying is
21:41
like i like bobby
21:42
i like bobby you know and i people can
21:44
have differences i don't agree with
21:46
anybody that [ __ ] with that dude but i
21:47
also on the same note
21:49
will say
21:51
i was shocked to find a lot of
21:52
reasonable people back then that i found
21:54
smart supporting that
21:56
[ __ ] okay that makes sense so okay
22:00
i could either be like [ __ ] you and [ __ ]
22:01
all them to people i know and when i say
22:03
that i mean it in the sense of like
22:05
you're an [ __ ] okay you know what i
22:06
mean yeah um in my book okay but
22:10
at the same time if i just reject you
22:11
and i'm just going to end friendships
22:13
over that without even trying to discuss
22:15
it with them how's anything ever going
22:16
to change yeah if i can't say to you
22:18
like hey man your man's an [ __ ]
22:20
uh-huh then you're you're going to [ __ ]
22:22
around with an [ __ ] the rest of your
22:23
life you know what i mean or at least i
22:25
can say like oh i did my part i told you
22:26
that it was an answer yeah yeah i mean
22:29
so so for clarity i just uh that you was
22:31
just saying it was your friend or
22:32
somebody i would say we're friendly
22:34
we're not friends in a sense i don't i
22:36
don't have his phone number in my phone
22:37
yeah i mean but if i see it's a it's all
22:40
it's all love i ain't gonna i ain't
22:41
gonna [ __ ] on him for that but i'll be
22:42
like hey dude you [ __ ] with that
22:44
[ __ ] dude
22:46
you know it's just we're in that era
22:47
where i'm just trying to be clear about
22:49
what's being said that you know that's
22:51
all yeah you know i mean i mean yeah i'm
22:53

22:55

hi good morning is this becky with the
23:55
good hair
23:57
hey girl
23:59
never laugh
24:00
before i ask my question i gotta say
24:02
this
24:03
i'm almost 40. i grew up you know 80s
24:07
80s baby 90s kids so i saw sway on mtv
24:10
growing up you really wanted to inspire
24:12
me to get into doing that kind of work
24:13
which never happened heather b i saw you
24:16
on the real world hey so yes the real
24:19
world guess i i grew up watching that
24:21
thank you
24:22
yes i got to tell you everlast your song
24:25
jump around black house of pain
24:28
that was probably one of the highlights
24:30
of not just my childhood i think i can
24:31
speak for
24:33
a ton of us in my generation absolutely
24:36
your sound your song was like oh my gosh
24:38
it still gets me amped up to this day me
24:40
and my husband still like to jump around
24:42
and try to get our kids to get moving to
24:44
it or just i'm fangirling right now so i
24:47
apologize oh no thank you very much i'm
24:49
smiling near the ear that's appreciated
24:51
you know that's that's that's all a
24:52
musician really is looking for is beyond
24:55
like you know trying to get rich and
24:56
famous
24:57
yeah but even more now seriously like
24:59
when i get messages about any songs or
25:02
anything like that and what they've done
25:03
for people it's it's it's something i
25:05
take to heart because that's really
25:06
what's going to count at the end of the
25:08
day when i'm gone and you speak on
25:11
what got done and what got made that's
25:13
the important part is what it did and
25:15
how it affected people so thank you very
25:17
much for your input
25:19
welcome so uh my question is i grew up
25:21
an hour from boston and my husband's
25:23
from boston so we wanted to know with
25:25
your phone jump around if people thought
25:27
you either had ties to boston or were
25:29
from boston i'm still i'm still
25:32
considered to be from boston by 90
25:34
percent of the world we just accepted it
25:36
and stopped like
25:39
we just took the the adoption and you
25:41
know and said yeah yeah we're from
25:42
boston cool yeah y'all went on celtic
25:44
jerseys man right see when i go to
25:46
explain it it makes a lot more sense
25:48
it's like you gotta remember what jersey
25:50
i wore and what it represented okay all
25:52
right i was representing that i was the
25:54
baddest white boy in the game
25:56
larry bird and that's yeah that's what
25:58
the jersey was so that's what i was
26:00
rapping and um
26:01
you know but i'm gonna have to do this
26:03
to this day you know i mean i love the
26:05
celtics but i'm a lakers guy so you know
26:08
i'll root for the celtics against
26:09
anybody
26:11
except the lakers okay so he was
26:13
basically with me and tracy during this
26:15
last thing
26:17
at the 25th anniversary we did a tour
26:19
and i was in boston and literally wore
26:21
my celtics jersey out and whipped it off
26:23
in the middle of the song and it was
26:24
like stretching on it did you get your
26:25
ass no it wasn't it wasn't in the middle
26:27
of the song it was right before john
26:28
brown was like yo when i was talking
26:30
[ __ ] making a joke and i was like yeah i
26:32
love boston it was like and this song
26:34
right here is the only reason i could do
26:35
this and i whipped off the [ __ ] and it's
26:37
lakers and it's boo
26:40
we're the headlining actor
26:47
what a point that's why i was going to
26:48
ask you who makes that song because the
26:50
build-up to me is what i just always
26:53
remember and you used to see the hardest
26:55
dudes in the club even in new york just
26:58
i know muggs is was the he had an
27:00
engineer dude named jason something i
27:02
can't remember his name but muggs
27:03
primarily was the driving force of all
27:05
everything he did at that point at that
27:07
age he was it had his he was like
27:09
a madman about control that was crazy so
27:11
do you feel lucky or do you feel like
27:14
dang i put in a lot of work and i got
27:17
the outcome that i should have both okay
27:19
both both it's um
27:22
definitely i mean
27:23
young somebody told me it's you know
27:25
five percent talent ninety-five percent
27:27
hustle you know i mean so it's it's both
27:29
um and the planet's gotta line up for
27:31
something like this to happen with us
27:33
you know you know anybody with a with a
27:34
monster song you know we'll tell you
27:36
that that didn't i mean you can make hit
27:38
songs you can do that you go out and
27:39
spend 500 grand on a song make it a hit
27:42
you can't do this with a song that just
27:44
stays 30 years
27:51
yeah it's dead ass i mean it's so out
27:53
there you can look it up you can find
27:54
out how to do it you spend 300 grand
27:56
you'll have a hit record yeah and you
27:57
know i mean it's not that [ __ ] hard
27:59
right jeff from massachusetts you got a
28:01
question hey jeff

28:40
wondering is you guys this relationship
28:43
i mean cordial now or you know here's
28:45
the deal with that like we had our
28:47
moment the dude never ever banned me
28:49
from this station like he's done to a
28:51
lot of people
28:52
um
29:05
is that false information because if it
29:06
is let me know because i'm working with
29:08
this i'm working with the information
29:09
i'm working with
29:10
eminem has personally never banned no
29:12
one well there's people who have not
29:14
been allowed up in here okay but i'm
29:16
aware of it okay cool that's fair enough
29:18
i'm not yes i don't have knowledge that
29:20
that was the case but let's say
29:22
some people can't come up here and you
29:24
would think i would be one of them at
29:26
some point and there never was
29:28
i've always heard that dude wait hold up
29:30
jeff let him
29:31
answer your question
29:33
i'm answering your questions put the
29:34
joint down for a minute
29:36
put it in the ashtray turn the radio
29:39
here we go
29:41
i've i've always been told dude actually
29:42
like me i've always liked dude it was a
29:44
it was it was kind of just a
29:46
misunderstanding when we met
29:48
i took it personal i said something on a
29:50
record in code
29:53
and he caught it
29:54
said something back like he was a sharp
29:56
dude caught it and then i had to respond
29:59
and then it just kind of went nowhere we
30:01
had too many friends in common they were
30:03
all boom boom and like frederick being
30:05
one of them was like dude he really
30:07
[ __ ] he's bummed he was a fan before
30:09
this and i was like well i'm a fan too
30:11
so it kind of just
30:12
died off you know i mean and then like
30:14
a couple years ago i was listening to
30:16
one of his records and he says something
30:17
like i'm everlasting i'm like the whitey
30:20
ford or the mighty thor and i like
30:22
listened to it like 40 times trying to
30:24
find the dis
30:26
no that's what i'm saying i'm like so
30:28
