like rapping in front of krs1 back then probably could have been the most fearful thing a MC could do right right
1:54
right right you know was it like that it you know what ks1 took took to my style
2:02
and who I was okay he kind of accepted me like you know even though he's like from the the mecca of hip-hop he still

5:32
Reggie since everything I don't even know how like people don't go deep
5:38
enough to understand your career I mean sway touched on the DJ and we all know
5:43
that you are one of the most celebrated MC's but then your engineering skills kick in as well right so I was at I was
5:51
telling Sway and Tracy and everybody that I was at Kanani's house commissioner Gordon's old Studio down in
5:57
the basement to cut my vocals for light it up up so I sent it to Reggie Reggie
6:04
calls back and was like yo tell the engineer to send it this way that way and that way I was like all right Kanani

6:19
upstairs he's like Yo God Mom thank you I can't believe I was on the phone with red man and he's giving me instructions
6:24
on how to send the files cut two the next day or two when me and you spoke you hit me you was like yo tell whoever

6:37
yeah he did a great job and I said Kanani you have to take that and and and and cherish that moment that you did
6:44
that we cut this in your basement in your studio where your father used to have his basement in his Studio that's a
6:50
beautiful thing in a full circle moment and you got the compliment from the man himself I think it's is crazy that that
6:56

7:04
uh you know some of the people uh vocals uh like sha vocals was a little rough we

7:40
sirani light man yes sir [Â __Â ] man he he ain't going to get him to do nothing now you said that how how did you decide the

9:36
within 15 minutes but when you reflect back decades later look at Queen Latifa
9:41

for me I think you have to understand sway so early on it was chill Rob g x
9:51
posi shout out PYT shout out to um Donnie D who passim shabaz L you know
10:00
Pat you you got to there was a early group of Jersey MC's specifically Jersey
10:05
City right but then red man came along yeah like Naughty by Nature was out I'm
10:11
not taking anything away from cuz naughty's naughty was huge yeah but then red man came along and it's everything
10:18
that he spoke about earlier in terms of that aggression that style those lyrics
10:25
like that bouncing forth but mind you his name was buzzing I don't know if it it was Biz cuz horse is from Queens
10:31
somebody took you somewhere Biz took him somewhere he freestyled and this thing
10:36
started circulating and going around play that on the Wake Up Show yeah I didn't know it was like this this he's
10:43
from Jersey so we like yo who's red man who's this Red Man red man then it's the bricks he from so you got to understand
10:50
what that meant for us cuz we was always baby brother little brother to New York uhhuh but then you got this red man that
10:58
just came along and just took like him and Latifa put Jersey on they back like that [Â __Â ] just
11:05
did something for everybody you know y'all New York dudes wasn't letting Jersey in too yo y'all was very cocky
11:11
and stingy with y' hip hop yeah with the hip-hop industry y'all was very cocky
11:17
and we really we literally had to like damn near punch people in the face
11:22
lyrically to get in the door of Hip Hop and uh when Biz Mary like I I went to
11:28
biz first like like to be clear before I went to EPMD I went to Biz first I was
11:35
like yo Biz I'm trying to get on bro but he was doing a juice crew at the time
11:40
and he was like yo but I I I can't do it right now so I got on through uh EPMD shout out to Eric Surman Paris Smith and
11:47
when I got on I still needed to hustle up you know still make money so Biz took
11:52
me around battling that's what that was about just to get money just to get money and I would was airing [Â __Â ] out
12:02
in New York yo big facts big facts I was aing
12:08
[Â __Â ] out in New York from long Allen to Queens to Brooklyn I was Aon yo
12:16
we got yo it was one one episode where Biz took me to to a club in Long Allen
12:21
and I was supposed to battle this dude and in in their club and I went up there
12:26
and they was like yo who want to go first so I was like [Â __Â ] it I go first I started bodying the place yo they was
12:33
like yo get this [Â __Â ] up out of here n we n n it it was like a scenario of you
12:40
know how college basketball players come to a regular court and act like they don't know how to play and they end up
12:46
busting people ass up in there getting their money that's how that scenario was they was like the dude ain't even Rock
12:52
That was supposed to rock they was like yo [Â __Â ] that we ain't giving yall [Â __Â ] that [Â __Â ] we whatever y'all doing yo
12:57
get out of here like they wanted to it got to a point I wanted to they wanted to fight so when we did the what
13:03
is it Montello or Montello park in Queens I was supposed the battle a dude there and uh the dude ain't show up so
13:12
me and Biz just started rocking and that's where that took place at where
13:17
that's that that's that it's it's called a Mont I forgot the name of the park but it's montabella Montello park in Queens
13:24
and the dude Ain show up the battle so me and Biz just started rocking and that [Â __Â ] Circle L around everywhere went
13:32
crazy yeah yeah definitely you know that was the The Catalyst to your name yep
13:39
become leaving Jersey that moment was the Catalyst that I to me that was the
13:45
Catalyst that moment on that tape that [Â __Â ] was underground L folklore on the west
13:53
coast we was playing that on the Wake Up Show what show did you first hear that
13:59
though oh did you I heard on the tape you heard it on the tape yeah okay like people we we used to get tapes cuz
14:07
stretching barbito was like one of the first people to play it on the East Coast then we probably got it cuz we used to do stretching Barbo and swaying
14:14
Tech we used to do uh we used to interact right so we would send them artists from west coast of people would
14:21
come to New York they go stretching BYO people come to Northern California we
14:26
would do it so we would rip [Â __Â ] off clue we would rip [Â __Â ] off stretching Bob and
14:33
then rock it because it was just but we would give credit yeah right you never knew that that moment will lead to these
14:39
moments though no not at all not at allzy yo ain't that crazy it's only crazy till it happens when did you know
14:46
for sure damn I'm I can make this is it this is what I'mma do and I'mma make it it
14:53
happened way before I got in the game like literally like when I was hustling and um you know DJing at like maybe 15
15:01
and 16 the first time I heard EPMD First Tape uh uh what is strictly business
15:08
uhuh yo my sister today can vouch for it like you know because her like her room
15:14
was here my room was here you know when you in the hood like the only thing that separated us was a curtain like I pull a
15:20
curtain back that's her room right that's right so I played the record strictly business and I'm listening to
15:26
it and I'm like yo this is it this is it for me like I was DJing playing Rockham

53:27
my sixpack going on a seven pack and and I did that through the myfitness Pal app
53:33
cuz it showed me how to eat like the serving sizes and it actually uh take
53:38
you take a picture of the barcode of your food you shouldn't eat no food without a barcode at the end of the day
53:45
it takes the picture of the barcode and it tells you everything about that food and how many serving sizes to eat and
53:51
then you get you know you you find someone that'll help you that weigh out your max that you should be eating
53:57
macro exactly and I stood to that regimen I I nailed like I would not do
54:02
anything beyond that macro count and I got ripped like I was like wow this is
54:08
amazing cuz you figure like a lot of people don't eat and thinking they're
54:13
going to lose weight when that is really you're killing yourself you're storing when you think I'm not going to eat a
54:19
breakfast I'm going to get skinny I'm going just eat one meal a day and you're actually storing that food because your stomach don't know when it's going to
54:25
eat again so you're actually food and you wonder if you ain't eat you eat one meal a day
54:31
and then you still wake up and you got a belly it's because that stored food the food don't know how to flush out so the
54:38
way you know that you're eating the right way is if you wake up and you take
54:43
a [Â __Â ] okay that's how I knew I was on track it would it's just like anything else you put the food in you run it you
54:51
exercise it out and in the morning you [Â __Â ] it out and you start a new regimen of food and that's how I knew it was
54:57
working for me so I would advise people to check out my fitness app get the subscription every year it's only $80 um
55:03
because it breaks it from the percentages to the grams and that's easier to follow and then like Heather
55:09
say you read the back of your packages and read what's the ingredients you know how back in the day we used to shop as
55:15
youngans and we used to see you know especially like white people no offense to anybody but you see them in there
55:21
reading the back of the food and I'm doing that now you know we we're doing that now cuz we don't got more tuned
55:27
into the health so check out my fitness pal they got exercises they got uh recipes as well and you can definitely
55:35
watch your max very well on there now don't get me wrong it's a lot of other platforms that does it but my fitness

1:07:16
jersey girls against any females in the rap game big facts period big facts and
1:07:24
as a collector there's not a burrow city or town that has produced more dope
1:07:30

1:08:21
video need to be done in Jersey yeah yeah it does what are we talking about that needs to happen INE plus I got yo
1:08:27
let's not forget I got Faith Evans on the album too all Jersey big facts like everybody yes come
1:08:35
on man yes uh who else is uh uncle quil's on the album right uncle quil's
1:08:41
on the album Superman loveing makes his return
1:08:47
Yes AB Superman 7 all right y doesn't he rescue Michelle Obama yes he does tell
1:08:53
us the story yo the Superman Lev s rescues Michelle Obama from being
1:08:59
kidnapped from uh by uh Donald Trump and his group of people and yeah simple as
1:09:07
that simple as that like and I did that record like maybe five years ago bro
1:09:13
like big facts not knowing like the outcome of how things are going now how it's going to be so it's like the
1:09:19
perfect timing with it yeah perfect timing it's all God's timing it's all God's timing R is here I got to ask you
1:09:26
this man because Muddy Waters too out of all your albums you chose to do a sequel to that one why why um good question
1:09:34
[Â __Â ] why did I want to do a muddy water you know what I think it's because Muddy Waters is one of my uh my turnaround
1:09:41
albums for me in a change of myself like okay like
1:09:47
there's a dark side I was acid out I was doing uh bomaz Z I was smoking dust from
1:09:54
uptown ke M yo we was whing like I was whing like I was whing and Muddy Waters
1:10:01
when it first came out was my turnaround is when I started getting in shape I started taking my uh Health serious I
1:10:07
started taking business serious and it was like the opening door for me to really be a businessman instead of an
1:10:15
artist so I was like let me bring that feel and that sound back that was all you know that was it yeah would you also
1:10:22
say red that your verse on how high um was also a turnaround moment because I
1:10:28
feel like that came off of the dares the dark side project and I felt like people
1:10:33
didn't we definitely appreciated the album you already know that dar's a dark side but a lot of people had things to
1:10:39
say about that project but it seems like when you came on that how high you lost
1:10:45
your [Â __Â ] mind to the point where meth was like yo chill chill you ain't even got to say no more stop it's like
1:10:51
you blacked out was that a moment for you onette yeah it was what original how high you talking about the original or
1:10:59
nck yeah that Nicki D we played in her crib and repeat 50 times exactly it was
1:11:05
a bodying moment we was moving into new levels new money Dev Jam was very
1:11:10
receptive of us now ready to really push us forward cuz that pushed on doing the
1:11:15
movie you know and and you know that all lined up into getting a movie later so yeah it was just a push of aggressiv of
1:11:22
we are actually owning Who We Are you know we were actually very confident of
1:11:28
what we believed in far as the uh the Cannabis industry like pushing it
1:11:33
Forward because you got to understand like guys like me be real Snoop Dogg MEF like we put this cannabis thing on the
1:11:40
line yeah and we uh we missed a lot of endorsements in the 90s because of what
1:11:46
we did and what we smoked and how we uh promoted smoking in cannabis so it was
1:11:51
like now we got the world feeling is cool to smoke cannabis
1:11:57
and don't get me wrong a lot of people were smoking at the time but we were like the the the Forefront of of the
1:12:05
music industry and cannabis especially Cypress Hill and you know like my boy
1:12:11
Snoop like he still hits me like he hits me all the time and like I'm really I'm really proud of snoop snoop of where
1:12:17
he's gone uh far as his career but he also opened that door and and made it
1:12:23
real lenient if you uh that cannabis will be accepted
1:12:29
whether you don't want to accept it or not for example like like I hear a lot of times that Snoop if they you want
1:12:35
Snoop then you got to accept him for what he does and he smokes and he smokes on the set where we was told we couldn't
1:12:43
smoke on the set at a time we couldn't smoke here Snoop oh look Snoop was smoking at the Super Bowl yeah when he
1:12:50
performed on stage on stage that is unheard of true that is unheard of so
1:12:59
long as we long as we was at a time where we was very confident in what we did and what we believed in that that
1:13:04
what led to the how high the movie and the song being as dope as it was it's incred absolutely incredible I loved it
1:13:11
I definitely felt that turn that you spoke about Lord Lord just walked in the
1:13:16
building the franchise player here at Shade 45 lies he's the he's the MJ they
1:13:23
surrounding him with us on fact
1:13:29
un un Lord s say something to the world Lord s the hell is going
1:13:38
onut up see you looking good bro I see you in the minute an original P that's right that's
1:13:45
original original P [Â __Â ] what year that's seven years ago when I was
1:13:51
[Laughter] thinner so so the Cannabis industry leading up to that that I'm a part of
1:13:57
now like uh like you know my boy meth got his strainer to Cal brand um I've
1:14:02
been behind the Cannabis industry politically yeah uh like I mentioned before I'm part of U the United
1:14:08
empowerment party and we here to empower people to to to uh to empower them to
1:14:13
learn more about the Cannabis industry so they can benefit and I I didn't make no money from it I don't you don't see
1:14:19
no red man strains or no red man products uh like I said before we have the first uh a federally approved
1:14:26
cannabis party no different from the Republican and Democratic party and I'm a co-founder my sister safid arst Mills
1:14:33
is the co-founder and what we hear is where our mission is to put someone in
1:14:38
the seat in Washington that understands cannabis because a lot of these political figures use the Cannabis
1:14:44
industry as a stepping stone and they get in the office and they don't do [Â __Â ] but who's holding them accountable like
1:14:52
the liquor industry got their [Â __Â ] together the tobacco industry got this [Â __Â ] together we are over 170 million
1:15:00
strong cannabis voters is powers in the numbers and we can make a change but we
1:15:06
have to Galvanize together so that's what uh U is about we're here to uh to
1:15:11
Galvanize as one and make an umbrella so we can make our own rules and regulations because there's a lot of
1:15:16
States out there that's getting tra trampled over with the laws and
1:15:22
regulations and the taxes like for example Seattle Washington they got to their taxes is 50% on cannabis so they
1:15:29
got to give up half of what they make uh off the Cannabis industry the states are
1:15:35
doing that because no one is holding them accountable not regulated right so our main goal is not to resched cannabis
1:15:43
they just rescheduled cannabis to schedule three it was on schedule one for the longest with cocaine and heroin
1:15:50
it just moved down to the pill form now schedule three which is still [Â __Â ] we
1:15:55
want to Des cannabis that is the goal Desu cannabis so we can able we're we're
1:16:03
able to well everyone to have an opportunity to make money from it and to benefit from it and we can open a travel
1:16:10
state laws we can move it state to state all that it be crushed if we deschedule so that is the mission follow us at uh
1:16:17
www. United empowerment party.org and see the work that we doing um we got a
1:16:23
petition that we're signing to deschedule if you want to learn more about what we're doing far the
1:16:29
descheduling read the uh read the format that my sister made up on why we should
1:16:34
deschedule it more and let's vote let's get out and vote and make a change and that's what it's about come on S get out
1:16:41
bro United empowerment party that's what we doing baby s let's go yes you come up
1:16:47
