yeah was there a remix of Annie up that
11:19
Prodigy did a verse on yeah that never
11:21
did it ever come out it didn't come out
11:23
because at the time there was you know I
11:25
think it was a PE between Jay-Z and MP
11:29
okay and we we a want to amp it up so we
11:31
like no you know we we Ain going to
11:33
indulge in that that beef so so that's
11:36
true yeah yeah oh okay all right was it
11:39
a high verse yeah the first
11:44
you know we want to mix up in they in
11:46
they beef you know what I mean uhuh and
11:48
had they Feud on our record yeah so yeah
11:51
okay that was great man when you look
11:53
back at feuding now does it
11:56
and I'll ask you this have does feuding
11:58
seem minuscal now you look back at the
12:01
things you were feuding about does it
12:02
seem
12:04
yeah I mean it looking back on it now
12:07
yeah probably was minus
12:09
some dumb [ __ ] yeah you know but at the
12:12
time man that [ __ ] was everything
12:15
for real you know especially you know
12:17
with the [ __ ] with Tupac I was like man
12:19
say some more [ __ ] like you know what I
12:21
mean like I ain't I ain't care you
12:22
didn't care N I ain't care did it I
12:25
wonder if it's something about
12:29
this might be a dumb question but
12:31
depending on who disses you
12:34
does it still kind of have some validity
12:36
like oh [ __ ] is Pac dissing me you know
12:39
what I mean oh [ __ ] is JayZ dissing me I
12:42
ain't saying it's an honor but right
12:44
they ain't GNA just diss anybody how I
12:46
just say it like I just say I just say
12:48
it like this I say it like this because
12:51
hip hop is such a competitive
12:52
competitive sport nobody's this is valid
12:56
to me but I'm coming at you though you
12:58
know what I'm saying me me and Prodigy
13:00
coming right at you so you know we
13:02
welcome it you welcome it I feel like
13:04
people were scared to diss some op
13:06
though
13:07
right right you never heard nothing you
13:10
Hey listen we don't we don't bother
13:11
people man but I will I will bust your
13:14
head though put holes in your je oh my
13:18
God I will bust your head I'm a nice guy
13:20
you know change now I want to touch on
13:23
something that both of y'all um started
13:25
to talk about a little bit we did so
13:27
much in our 20s you know you when you
13:29
think about it like we we went through a
13:31
lot in our 20s at and then you
13:34
experiencing these careers that you only
13:36
dreamed about and then they all came to
13:38
realization but when you look back and I
13:40
have this conversation a lot with my
13:42
friends like I think we all were dealing
13:44
with some trauma too that we probably
13:47
didn't address you know maybe getting in
13:49
the booth for going to the studio was
13:51
our was our way of dealing therapy that
13:53
was a get away therapy but goad just
13:57
getting off my block alone my
13:58
neighborhood with just so crazy every
14:00
day just you know something happening
14:01
something happening something happen so
14:03
just to leave my block to go to
14:04
Manhattan to be in a studio yes you know
14:08
what I mean was amazing for us just
14:09
getting off the block and that's that
14:11
save that kind of saved my life it did
14:13
save my life it did save your life and
14:14
that's what I was going to ask both of
14:16
you looking back now do you think we
14:18
should have or we could have mixed two
14:20
was was do you think maybe we should
14:22
have been in therapy dealing with what
14:23
we was dealing with with the deaths with
14:25
the industry with the this with the that
14:27
because now where are it's like damn I
14:31
that was trauma the way is if you define
14:34
it now we've been dealing with trauma
14:36
right um we ain't know nothing about no
14:39
damn th
14:41
yeah well when you heard about it it
14:43
seemed like that was for other people
14:45
didn't even know what we didn't realize
14:47
what was happening deal we was dealing
14:49
with we living the trauma and we didn't
14:51
realize we didn't never say yo we need
14:52
help somebody help me n we man go smoke
14:56
go get a bottle right yeah make it to
14:58
the the next day you know what I mean
15:00
straight up and therapists were called
15:01
shrinks back back then there was a a
15:04
stigma yeah we didn't know anything
15:06
about I know I didn't I would love to
15:09
know how you guys would Define New York
15:13
rap in that era versus what New York rap
15:17
is now and if it's even important to
15:20
have a Distinction on what New York rap
15:23
is considering how hip hop has become
15:25
even more of a Melting Pot for new
15:27
generations because of all that access
15:29
online
15:32
what you think what you think
15:37
put me on the hot seat so let's say the
15:39
N describe describe New York rap in the
15:42
90s and describe New York rap in the
15:44
2020s hip-hop in the 90s it probably was
15:47
less accessible you know um probably Le
15:50
the the field was a little bit more
15:52
clearer now it's like everybody has
15:54
access to it so it's like oversaturated
15:57
you know um you don't you I mean I'm not
15:59
knocking today's you know artist I I
16:02
love I love a lot of the artists you
16:04
know what I mean but um it's a bit of
16:06
oversaturation and unoriginality going
16:09
on more than ever I I think way back we
16:11
put our time and we put thoughts in it
16:14
and we was creative more creative
16:16
everybody had their own style and
16:18
nowadays it just everybody's doing the
16:19
same thing I think the music was more
16:22
physical back then could you go purchase

from this show on the 27 like let's the
20:02
title of the show is called is it real
20:04
hip hop hip hop okay real hip hop
20:07
meaning authentic
20:09
Golden Era uhuh Our Kind of Music our
20:12
kind of music right and then with
20:15
friends can y'all let us in on some of
20:16
the friends no not one
20:20
can't do that I I spent like 20 minutes
20:23
Billy a have a B have a b no I Ain conf
20:29
or Deni
20:31
I spent about 20 minutes just breaking
20:33
down how close our ties are you know 30
20:36
years back and I asked them can you
20:38
share one friend and they go nah it took
20:41
them it take them half a second um but
20:44
real hip hop to you is how do you
20:47
determine what's real
20:49
I don't know it's just a feeling feeling
20:51
a feeling yeah yeah yeah um it's hard to
20:54
just label it yeah but I could say
20:57
authentic I could say like
20:59
just the just the the kind of music I
21:00
grew up on yeah like when I when I when
21:03
I think of authentic I think of like New
21:05
York train Subways like you you play our
21:08
music you can smell the [ __ ] pardon
21:10
me
21:12
you can smell the F you can smell the
21:14
smoke from the fiend you can smell a you
21:17
know
21:19
you know what I mean you can smell a
21:20
piss in the hallways you know what I
21:22
mean so that's that's Au that's the kind
21:24
of authentic music I'm talking about how
21:26
can you identify the difference between
21:28
music being inauthentic and a sound that
21:31
you just don't get
21:35
um just I don't know music just hit me a
21:39
certain way if it like you can't you
21:41
ain't got to play a song over and over
21:42
to make me like it and that's the
21:43
difference with the music now when it's
21:45
something that I love it just hit you
21:47
you know what I mean it just hit you you
21:48
know yeah that's my joint it ain't got
21:49
to be a big artist if it's a good record
21:52
it's a good record I love it you know
21:53
what I mean MH Havoc how have you
21:56
adjusted like you done projects before
21:58
uh outside of P what is it what is it
22:01
like working on projects with other
22:03
artists for you um like you know I just
22:06
take a it's it's different every time
22:07
depending on the artist you know what I
22:09
mean um I just give them me you know I
22:12
don't really think too much into it
22:14
because if they hire me to you know do
22:16
work for them I just give them Havoc you
22:19
know what I mean so it's pretty simple
22:20
for me y y'all got solo projects coming
22:23
Fame oh yeah okay I got a solo project
22:26
it's pretty much wrapped up called Walk
22:27
of Fame uhhuh
22:29
I like that
22:32
we have no choice but to do that I got
22:34
some joints on there I got some good
22:36
people on there but I ain't going to
22:38
throw that out either you can't give me
22:39
nothing fam what good is our 30-year
22:41
relationship
22:43
you get a ticket to the show Sway and
22:45
that's it that's it some artist some
22:47
artist some artists would tell yo I'm
22:49
doing this I'm doing this I got this I
22:51
do I just wait to it's right and then
22:54
then then we could talk about it and run
22:55
with ity I respect that man yeah hey you
22:58
know what works for you I'm not mad U DB
23:00
you got a question yeah uh I got a nerdy
23:02
producer question for Havoc because uh I
23:05
I did a producer Rapp mix recently and
23:07

23:09
to be rappers but have also done
23:11
production as well and so I wanted to
23:13

Shook Ones about the beginning and
23:17
people were saying that it sounded like
23:19
a stove
23:21
right
23:24

23:25
legend that that you sample the sound of
23:27
a stove coming on for that beginning
23:29
intro I don't know is it true is there
23:30
