0:26
rob
0:27
rich you know you know interesting
0:29
enough rich's brother produced black
0:31
rob's last album isn't that right rich
0:33
wow yeah genuine article uh
0:37
you know big french is uh you know how
0:39
french do he stick the move he'd be
0:40
you know low and doing his thing and uh
0:43
you know really quick i just want to say
0:44
something that
0:45
kind of was bothering me over over the
0:47
weekend when when we found out that we
0:49
lost the brother back black rob
0:51
you know people had comments about you
0:53
know substance abuse and different
0:54
things and
0:56
rob had his first stroke in french's
0:58
studio
0:59
um brent actually took him to the
1:02
hospital
1:03
to make sure he was okay and it kind of
1:04
bonded their friendship
1:06
and you know there was an early session
1:08
in french with him the whole day
1:10
and you know they took a toxicology and
1:12
there was no
1:13
substance uh in his system when he had
1:16
that first stroke
1:17
so people should just kind of speak the
1:20
facts
1:20
and and because you know people have
1:22
families and wives and kids and
1:24
no one wants to hear anything bad about
1:26
their loved one
1:28
especially at a time of loss so i just
1:31
want to say to people if you don't
1:32
really have toxicology reports and facts
1:36
don't say things especially on the
1:38
internet that aren't that you don't
1:40
know about you know because rob was a
1:41
good guy and i knew him well
1:43
and and is a great loss and my brother
1:46
was chopped up about it and
1:47
you know he's like why people saying
1:49
these things i was i was with him when
1:50
he had this stroke and
1:51
he was it wasn't what they're saying you
1:54
know so i just want to say that you know
1:55
people please be careful of what you say
1:58
well you know in the interview he sat
2:00
with us and talked that was the first
2:02
thing he said was
2:04
no drugs i have high blood pressure and
2:07
and have them mentioned at the early
2:09
earlier today that's the silent killer
2:10
right there's high blood pressure you
2:12
could walk around with high blood
2:13
pressure not even realize you have it
2:16
you know until you have a stroke and if
2:17
you're lucky enough to survive that
2:19
stroke and then without
2:20
you know too much damage you're very
2:23
blessed you know it takes a lot
2:24
you know to really recover from a stroke
2:27

staying with him
6:20
um i was a little guy and i was staying
6:21
with him uh uh for like almost a year
6:24
you know what i'm saying and um you know
6:26
uh i was in a um
6:28
in the uh the hotel room and um you know
6:32
i went to go pick up the kids he's like
6:33
yo you know go pick up my kids you know
6:34

6:36
you know to the hotel and i'm um i'm
6:38
gonna go and uh
6:39
get dressed and get ready for the studio
6:41
you know i'm saying and uh on my way up
6:42
top
6:43
you know i got the call you know
6:45
hysterical crying and stuff like that
6:47
man i'm saying that
6:48
you know he had quite a heart attack and
6:50
everything you know i'm saying i got
6:51
there like about five minutes after that
6:53
you know and they they were rolling them
6:55
out the hotel you know i was in shock
6:58
crazy wow yeah man brief also man a lot
7:01
of people don't know that you know what
7:02
i'm saying because that's not
7:03
you know this this this wasn't on a rap
7:06
thing this wasn't about
7:07
you know a rap situation or whatever you
7:09
know what i'm saying but i i i stand in
7:11
a crazy position
7:13
you know what i'm saying and and that's
7:14
why i named this album for a reason you
7:16
know what i'm saying
7:17
and um it's just like really really
7:19
crazy i always catch the chills
7:21
you know even with both situations you
7:23
know i mean i was in the house like
7:24
everybody else
7:25
and you know it actually you know took
7:27
me for a minute to make you strain
7:28
you know i mean it's real serious it's
7:30
just crazy you know
7:32
you know um absolutely you you are here
7:35
for a reason
7:36
uh refusal um you you you're definitely
7:39
here for a reason and i'm thinking like
7:42
you just named some ill-ass mcs that you
7:44
were hanging out with so
7:46
i know your standard of emceeism must be
7:48
high
7:49
you know because you couldn't you
7:51
couldn't be around
7:52
fred the godson or big pun and be whack
7:55
like did they did
8:00
said he wouldn't even bring nobody up
8:02
there that that wasn't legit remember
8:04
when fred would always say that like yo
8:05
sway if i make a call or have somebody
8:07
with me they ready
8:10
he did say that yeah he did and
8:13
and re reef you know i used to look at
8:15
fred sideways like man i swear on
8:17
everything i i was
8:18
i used to hope y'all was whack i was
8:20
like oh please let this rapper be whack
8:28
so i thank you for that opportunity
8:29
though you have to be in the rest of the
8:31
guys up there rich nice and everybody i
8:32
appreciate that you know
8:34
that was the um a big staple for me
8:37
you know i'm saying to remind a couple
8:39
people that i don't play no games
8:41
you know no doubt refusal citizens
8:44
i want y'all to call up get to know this
8:46
young man you're hearing a little bit
8:47
about his legacy he's been around
8:49
juggernauts 888-742-3345
8:54
and he was there with pun and he got
8:56
puns son chris rivers on the track
8:58
that's called who
8:59
who goes there man you
9:03
you've been around pun you've been
9:04
around chris what are the similarities
9:06
you find
9:08
so man um i mean it's in the same
9:11
lineage man it's crazy you know i mean
9:12
like you know that's his son
9:14
and hey i'm from the bronx it was like
9:16
you know
9:17
at the time when plums around you know
9:19
blessings you know
9:20
so but um at the time he was around man
9:23
man he was just like you know top top
9:26
top top
9:26
top tier a1 a1 you know what i mean and
9:29
just like you said now
9:30
i couldn't come i couldn't come you know
9:32
half after this and i had to really
9:34
like really put it down so you know it's
9:37
just basically you know
9:39
i feel like i come from the same lineage
9:41
as him yeah you know
9:44
yeah that makes sense the project is
9:46
called for a reason
9:47
i need people who really know hip-hop to
9:49
call up if you really don't know the
9:50
culture don't call
9:52
but if you really know emceeism call up
9:57
