[00:02:55] Speaker B: Yeah, what happened? [00:02:58] Speaker A: What happened? Where did that initially start, though? I mean, I know that you all have had y'all differences, but when did y'all start the process? It's like, we gonna go back in and get this shit. Get this shit cracking. [00:03:07] Speaker D: Well, I was out here in Cali like I always do, and, you know, something just told me, pick up the phone and call him. Cause we've been feuding for a while, you know what I'm saying? [00:03:16] Speaker B: So I pick up the phone, I just had disagreements. I mean, you know, disagreements, agree to disagreements. [00:03:26] Speaker D: Yeah. So, you know, I picked up the phone, and the first time I picked up the phone didn't go so well. [00:03:32] Speaker A: It didn't go so well. How did that conversation go? [00:03:34] Speaker D: It was like, yeah, we was cool. Then my uncle called, said something, and it kicked off, and then we called back again, and, you know, just work at it and make it happen. And then I was in the studio over here. Snoop invited me over here, and I didn't know corrupt was coming in the door, so I was just sitting there talking to him. That's how I know corrupt came in there, and that's how I know we dropped, like four songs in an hour or something. So the first session, the first song was smoke up. [00:04:00] Speaker B: Yeah, nigga. He was in there, nigga. And I popped up in that motherfucker. [00:04:03] Speaker C: What we doing? [00:04:04] Speaker D: He didn't know it was me. He come shake my hand. Hey, what's up? How you doing? [00:04:06] Speaker A: I'm like, nigga, oh, shit. [00:04:09] Speaker D: Damn one. [00:04:11] Speaker B: I'm like, yeah, nigga, you big head motherfucker. Yeah, yeah. [00:04:14] Speaker A: So you popped up in a corrupt session? [00:04:16] Speaker D: No, no, he was coming in to do some voiceovers for a cartoon that snoop got. [00:04:20] Speaker A: Okay. [00:04:21] Speaker D: I was here talking to the dog, getting it together, you know what I'm saying? And carer walk in like, hey, what's up, man? How you doing? He didn't even know it was me. [00:04:28] Speaker A: Well, I'm sure he didn't expect you to see you here. [00:04:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:30] Speaker D: And then they turn around, he's like, man, that sound like, damn. [00:04:33] Speaker B: Like, what you doing here? I walk in the room, I look to the right, and I'm like, yeah. I shake the hand, and nigga sitting in the chair, what's up, my nigga? I think to myself, I look like dad. Like Delmar, look to the right. This nigga just smile. I said, you big head motherfucker. [00:04:51] Speaker D: And the first song we did was smoke up. [00:04:53] Speaker B: Hell, really? [00:04:54] Speaker C: So you didn't give him the heads. [00:04:56] Speaker A: Up that you was pulling up? [00:04:57] Speaker C: He was trying to, like, pull up and kind of. [00:04:58] Speaker D: I was trying to do the shit on the low. [00:05:00] Speaker B: Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. In case it didn't go well, you wouldn't go well. [00:05:03] Speaker A: Hey, dad's got ego. He's like, look, in case this shit don't go right, I'm not even finna tell corrupt I'm up here. So what was your reaction then, corrupt? [00:05:12] Speaker B: Like, when you. I just told you, nigga. I was like, you big head. I look at dog, he on the boards, and he turned around smiling. Yeah. I said, you two niggas. You know what, cuz? [00:05:27] Speaker D: And then he started putting them beats on, and we started knocking that shit out. [00:05:30] Speaker B: I love it. [00:05:31] Speaker D: We had half the album done in three and a half days. [00:05:34] Speaker B: So it wasn't no discussion. [00:05:35] Speaker D: Yeah, four days, the whole album was done. Then we came back. Back to another we can shop video. And now we here again. This is the third time. [00:05:42] Speaker A: So, wait, there was no discussion about we gonna do this album? It was just. Y'all just started knocking songs out. [00:05:46] Speaker D: It's just natural. [00:05:47] Speaker A: Natural. That's amazing. [00:05:49] Speaker D: And when nothing out of the ordinary just started knocking that shit out, putting it together. And then we shot some videos for it. Then we shot smoke up. [00:05:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:59] Speaker D: Same week. [00:06:02] Speaker C: I know it's gotta be an amazing feeling again, through differences coming back together. You know, going back and forth, man. But it's always like a recurring theme. It's like, yo, it's family at the end of the day. [00:06:11] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:06:11] Speaker C: You know what I mean? So even with you saying, you know, disagreements, differences, whatever the case may be, it's good to see that no matter what, it's like we can come back together. And the energy, the chemistry, is just. Doesn't go anywhere. And I feel like that's what I'm excited to hear from the new record. But from your perspective, we all we got. What is the meaning of the title? I mean, I feel like we kind of already explained it right now, but from both of your perspectives, we all we got, man, why that title? [00:06:38] Speaker D: I mean, it's like going to a Vietnam war. We in there. We all we got. We got to go in here and make it. Cause that's all we know is just us doing music together. You know what I'm saying? From what, 33 years of music. Three decades of music. [00:06:52] Speaker B: That's crazy. [00:06:53] Speaker D: 7000 songs. [00:06:55] Speaker A: That's wild when you think about it. 7000 songs. [00:06:57] Speaker D: Yeah, from group solos. [00:07:00] Speaker A: Who added that shit up? [00:07:03] Speaker D: When you look at your BMI ass cabinet stuff. [00:07:07] Speaker C: Cause he didn't want to be behind the best. [00:07:09] Speaker A: How much money they owe me now. [00:07:11] Speaker D: You gotta calculate it up. You know what I'm saying? [00:07:14] Speaker B: How many money? [00:07:16] Speaker A: 7000 songs is light flex. [00:07:18] Speaker D: It's a light flex, but it's heavy. [00:07:20] Speaker C: So how many are we gonna get on the album itself? [00:07:23] Speaker E: We all. [00:07:23] Speaker C: We got 1414 tracks. [00:07:25] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:07:26] Speaker C: Okay, can we talk about features? Can we talk about, you know, getting records together in that nature? [00:07:32] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. You know, we got the baby on there, okay. We got Butch Cassidy. [00:07:37] Speaker C: He said we stopped there. [00:07:38] Speaker B: Ok, you got to hear the album. Hey, hey. [00:07:41] Speaker A: Carett was like, yeah, that's enough. [00:07:43] Speaker D: We got the baby on there, huh? [00:07:45] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:07:46] Speaker A: Hey, corrupt, what's your favorite part of the album process? Because I know Daz. He likes the mischief and he likes the chaotic energy. What's your favorite part about going in and recording the album, whether solo or a group? [00:07:59] Speaker B: The aura. [00:08:00] Speaker A: The aura. [00:08:01] Speaker B: It ain't about money. [00:08:05] Speaker A: You said it ain't about money. It's about the aura. [00:08:09] Speaker B: It's about us. [00:08:11] Speaker A: The energy. [00:08:12] Speaker B: It's all about us. [00:08:14] Speaker C: Is that something that has been a learned behavior from you over time, or is that something that has always been innate? Like, no matter what, it's always out of the three decades of making music, it's always been about the aura. [00:08:25] Speaker B: It's always been about us. You lose focus, and then you get back on track with family. Family butt heads, you know, when it's real family, you know, it's forever. Forever. [00:08:41] Speaker A: Like, you know what's interesting? I was explaining our politics out here, like, with everything going on, right? And this interview, you said that, like, we family. And it's kind of like the principle where it's, like, corrupt can say something about Daz, but you can't say something about Daz. [00:08:58] Speaker D: That's what I told you. I can say something about snoop, but you can't. [00:09:01] Speaker B: I wish you did. [00:09:03] Speaker A: I can say something on it. [00:09:04] Speaker D: That's what started the Kanye west of it had me go to jail. [00:09:09] Speaker A: What you mean? Oh, man. Oh, you. [00:09:13] Speaker B: That's it. [00:09:13] Speaker A: Yeah, we leaving a legal shit. [00:09:16] Speaker D: I'm all probation for the record, you know what I'm saying? [00:09:19] Speaker A: But I was just explaining, like, the nature of brotherhood and father, you know. [00:09:24] Speaker D: Till we die, man. You know what I'm saying? When we get on stage, it's that magical moment. You know what I'm saying? We just got off stage from seth Rogen the other night. We performed killing it. You know what I'm saying? People glad to see us back together. That means more music, more shows, more west coasting. [00:09:42] Speaker A: More west coast. [00:09:43] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? Hanging with head. Because we been hanging together for years. [00:09:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:49] Speaker D: Before the fame. [00:09:52] Speaker B: Right, right. [00:09:54] Speaker A: The reason why I brought that up, though, is because, like, I think it's important to note that. I don't think it's. I don't think it's unique to us when it comes to, like, the California shit. I think everybody feels that way, like, when they have family members and whatnot. It's like, bro. Yeah, that's my brother. Like, and he a fuck up, but you can't call him a fuck up. I can call them a fugger, but you can't. [00:10:13] Speaker C: We gonna have problems. [00:10:14] Speaker A: And I think that that's. I want to talk about culture, right. And I think that that's something that's missing. Like, people don't understand certain cultures. [00:10:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:20] Speaker A: And from your perspective, what's been part of that fabric of keeping our culture together in that way? Like, from it. From a standpoint of. From the outside looking in, I don't know. Corrupt. I don't know. Daz. Right? What's that glue? Like, what's that. What's that part of it? Is it phone calls? Is it text messages? Is it group chats? Is it like, who's the one that keeps it. That keeps it together? [00:10:43] Speaker B: It was just cut from a different cloth. [00:10:46] Speaker A: Cut from a different cloth. [00:10:48] Speaker B: Cut from a different cloth. We grew up a different way. It's the way you. It was the way you was raised. You know? We were raised different. We was raised about ethics. Respect principles. Principles. [00:11:03] Speaker D: Or you can get DP'D. [00:11:04] Speaker B: It's the principles. Smokey. [00:11:06] Speaker D: A lot of people don't know what DP'd is. [00:11:08] Speaker B: Can y'all call it nowadays? You know, back in the days, it's called Peter roll, nigga. You get petered, nigga. You understand me, motherfuckers? Just, you gotta just have a certain respect about yourself. It comes from the gang bang community, correct? The way we was raised, gang bang community was about having principle and respect and also, you know, appreciation for your neighborhood. So therefore, it comes with integrity and all that. You know what I'm saying? And living for a reason. You have a reason why you pushing your line. See what I'm saying? That you will never give up, you'll never tell, you'll never expose. You keep it to yourself. Certain kind of life that we were taught the way to live life and to become men, and then we enhanced it by becoming men because they never really taught us about being men. They just taught us about how to bang. You know, we had to learn how to become men on our own. So, you know, it started, though, from the gang bang, being in the gang and streets. [00:12:32] Speaker A: What do you think has lost in now in this generation or future generation? Generations and why they don't exist? Why everybody is like anarchy out here? [00:12:41] Speaker D: The Internet, that's what's up. Yeah, it's free. You get on here and say, tell what you want. It's gonna get all the way over there to where they at. Instant bam, bam, bam, bam. And a lot of drama. A lot of drama has started through the Internet. [00:12:54] Speaker A: Facts. [00:12:55] Speaker D: Cause back in the day, we didn't have no drama. We just had to go find, you know what I'm saying? You talk messy about somebody, you bump into them, and that's all. Yeah, all that shit. [00:13:05] Speaker A: Yeah, but what? But as far as code, you think that's still a thing, either corrupt, you. [00:13:10] Speaker D: Think that's still some new codes out here? [00:13:11] Speaker B: I have no idea. Yeah, I have no opinion on it. I have no idea. [00:13:18] Speaker C: Does that come with age and wisdom to not even want to go back and try to figure it out? Because I get a sense of just like, you know, whatever it is, it is. I kind of have. You have this aura of like, yeah, like J. Cole. [00:13:31] Speaker A: Like, ain't nobody fucking with my piece. [00:13:32] Speaker C: Ain't nobody messing with my piece. [00:13:34] Speaker B: I know that your thinking is very interesting. How many grandchildren I have? None. Exactly. [00:13:43] Speaker D: See, but you got kids, so you got to think about the kids future, and what you're doing affects the kids. [00:13:50] Speaker B: When Snoop call, I'm young, Snoop don't call cuz 51. When Snoop called, cuz I'm 18. Let's go. Let's get it. Without the dog, I'm the youngest in the crew. Without dog or doctor Drake. No reason to even leave the house. Think I'm posting the house. [00:14:11] Speaker D: See, my grandson, we did all this hanging on the corner already. He didn't get us nothing but in trouble. [00:14:16] Speaker B: See, the key is surviving. The key ain't doing it. It's surviving it. Surviving. [00:14:23] Speaker D: It can't do nothing dead. [00:14:25] Speaker B: I put in minds I earned my respect. [00:14:28] Speaker A: Facts. [00:14:29] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? I faced all the. [00:14:31] Speaker D: We didn't kicked a lot of buildings. Now literally. [00:14:34] Speaker B: Oh, God damn it. Literally. See, I gotta keep my eye on. Oh, God damn it. [00:14:42] Speaker C: Well, I mean, that's. That's an interesting, interesting conversation. That's an interesting conversation. Because right now the whole theme is battle, you know, battle rap. We've been seeing what's going on with Kendrick, and I just found out about this stuff. But that's what I'm saying. [00:14:57] Speaker B: I was like, they just need to fight, right? But, you know, I was just. You telling him to slow down. Yeah, I just got a little ticked off because the subject just. Cause I wasn't up on it. And I'm just like, damn, cuz now they got the little homie involved in this shit. Or I don't know what it is, but somebody pissed the homie off. And I'm like, but this, this the problem. See, both of them are my friends. So I'm like, damn. Cause, you know, I can't pick a side. I had homies that didn't like each other, and I've been here before, so it's like, you know, they grown, so you gotta let them figure it out themselves, right? And it's just like, damn. Cause you know, hearing about it, though, through the Internet, the converse. No, it wasn't the Internet. We was on the podcast. [00:15:47] Speaker D: Yeah, but the fact is though, the music came from what, the Internet? [00:15:52] Speaker B: I don't know. All I know is when I heard about it. [00:15:54] Speaker D: But this is like a good battle because they was dropping songs every motherfucking day. Half of a day, 4 hours from a. You drop a dish right here and they come back 4 hours later. [00:16:03] Speaker B: You had to have Daz friends. Like they kept saying, I read some things. Cause my wife, I'm a good translator, y'all. And he was like, man, dance is a translator. I was like, what are you talking about? Like every time cuz was saying something, I look at Daz and be like, what does that mean? What's cuz talk? [00:16:18] Speaker A: Right? [00:16:19] Speaker B: Fuck is he talking, cuz? I didn't understand what he was saying. You know, talking about AI's and if. [00:16:25] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, the tupac AI. [00:16:26] Speaker D: See, that's where the west coast got mad at when they put their AI in there. [00:16:30] Speaker A: Hey, bro, I'm not gonna lie to you. That's the only thing that I. That I felt like was a m. And I mean, I've been in the. In the streets, taking the phase on the Internet, and, you know, just. I'm just like this. [00:16:43] Speaker B: You don't want people fighting this shit. You know, especially the. That. These are both my friends. I don't want my friends fighting. But, you know, they grown, so it's just like. You know, I got a little upset, but it's like. Cause it's like, no, enough is enough. I mean, we're so big in the game. That's why I don't fool with the social media. It'll make you choose sides. And motherfuckers say something, and you'd be like, oh, they say that about me, right? And then you'll respond to. Cause like I said, cuz, I'm an old ass man. I ain't into that. Now, when dog call, if dog says, this is the one chipping, we outside, man, look, allegedly. So, you know, I just like to stay away from that type of shit because, you know, people get hurt. Folks is gone from that. Biggie's gone. Pocket's gone. Me and DMX was really. It was really for real. And, you know, the youngsters have a thing. Cause my nephews even told me, you know, unc, we know what y'all did back then, but it's about now, man. And ain't nobody really interested in what you did then. It's about what you do now. So, unk, you gotta do something now. And I'm like, oh, really? I said, okay, take this slut and. [00:18:09] Speaker D: Have my meeting dog calls. [00:18:11] Speaker B: I'll do something now. Until then, you know, I'm just chill with my wife and my children and enjoy my life until I'm called to duties. [00:18:22] Speaker C: So how do you have that conversation with the younger generation? Your nephew or whoever, right, who look and saw what you guys been through and hear what you're saying, but, like, oh, y'all been through it, too. How do you then get the message across to the younger generation? [00:18:35] Speaker B: I don't. [00:18:36] Speaker C: You don't? [00:18:38] Speaker B: Listening's a skill. I listen to em and embrace and go back to watching law and order. [00:18:48] Speaker A: Shout out to ice T. Oh, man. [00:18:51] Speaker B: That'S my wife's favorite show.

Cole apologizing. [00:19:17] Speaker B: Oh, they did say he fell out the battle. [00:19:20] Speaker A: I think I respected it, though. I didn't like it for the sport, but I respected it. [00:19:23] Speaker C: When somebody tells you that spirit's not feeling right, it's like you can't, you can't argue with. [00:19:27] Speaker B: They told me, you know, the young gentleman, Rachel told me, it ain't about like, how it was in your days. It's about the bars. You know, we love the bars. We're into the bars. And I was like, for real? See, you learn something new every day, cuz, you know, so, you know, you ain't too old or too young to learn something new. I learned something new since that podcast. I learned something new. The Kev podcast, I learned something new. He put me up on something. I've been talking to people ever since, and I'm like, damn, there's so much I'm seeing. I'm like, wow, I heard the Drake. I heard the Drake record and I'm like, damn, they both bustin so, you know, I'm like, I'm just not privy to it to give an opinion. [00:20:17] Speaker A: No, I feel that. [00:20:17] Speaker D: But they used some big ass motherfucking words. What did you say? [00:20:24] Speaker A: He said privy. He's not aware of it. [00:20:26] Speaker D: Privilege, no, privy. [00:20:31] Speaker B: It'S akin to parvo privilege. [00:20:33] Speaker A: It's privy. It's akin to. He's not. He don't know shit. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Now head is the motherfucking translator. [00:20:44] Speaker A: He said he don't know what the fuck. That's what he's saying. Basically. [00:20:49] Speaker C: In the heat of battle, right? In the heat of battle. It's one common thing that a lot of people talking about. Is there anything that's off limits when it comes to that? And you can go back to, in a battle, when y'all was going through stuff like back and forth with other people, was there still a line that's. We're not gonna cross that line? [00:21:06] Speaker B: Or was it like, between battle and war? [00:21:10] Speaker A: Facts. [00:21:10] Speaker B: See, battle is like murder. Murder, mooking them be doing. [00:21:14] Speaker A: Yeah, and that's a sport. [00:21:15] Speaker B: From the East coast, he had the tapes that he was putting out the filming. [00:21:22] Speaker A: Oh, surf. [00:21:25] Speaker B: No. [00:21:30] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a sport. [00:21:33] Speaker D: We talk about your mama, Grandma, the. [00:21:34] Speaker B: Roaches in your house, right? See what I'm saying? Dog pound and bone thug, that's war. Corrupt and DMA. DMX, that's war. That's not a battle, it's not friendly. So if you gonna talk about people's mamas and shit, that's not a part of a battle. I remember one of the smack videos. Cause. And the motherfucker was saying something while he rapping, though. You know, he's spitting. Nigga said, man, I'm spitting my face. And then, you know, the nigga took off on Bob. He said, one rap. You know what? This is that and that's this. This is that. And that's this. Boom. Nigga, don't spit in my face. I said, oh, my. That's what we doing now. Damn. Yeah, man. [00:22:24] Speaker D: You ain't got past that other stuff. [00:22:26] Speaker B: That's a battle rap, right? That turned the war, right? Yeah, but like I said, how did. [00:22:30] Speaker D: You determine who wins? [00:22:32] Speaker B: You determined by the most views? Nah, it always is the most views nowadays. And back in the days, it was always the crowd's response. Eight mile gave you everything. M is the key to show you the art of battle. Because that's what he lived like. I lived when I was at the good life. And I ran all through California, I mean, all through LA, and I hit all malls. And anybody that came in the mall, like the Hawthorne mall, you came in there, they knew me for cutting off heads. So therefore, Paul's. And therefore, when a motherfucker would come in there, you rapping and shit, they'd be like, yeah, you good? But you can't see. Corrupt. The mall knew me. [00:23:21] Speaker D: Yeah, no way. [00:23:22] Speaker B: I was chopping. [00:23:22] Speaker D: He heard that voice. He got that sound like what you just said. [00:23:25] Speaker B: Arms. [00:23:27] Speaker D: That voice is coming up. Come on, boy, get it up. [00:23:30] Speaker B: People. [00:23:30] Speaker C: Talk about the war. [00:23:31] Speaker B: Come on. I'm nowhere near there. I need some Hennessy. I ain't got none of that. [00:23:38] Speaker D: Yeah, but, you know, it's an interesting battle, you know? [00:23:41] Speaker A: Do you think that. So the crowd response is a good. Is a good point. [00:23:44] Speaker B: Corrupt everything is the people. [00:23:46] Speaker A: It's the people. [00:23:47] Speaker B: It's just like the government. Cause the government don't run America, the people do. The president don't run America, the people do. Once we realize that, the people will understand that and then have a better effect. [00:23:58] Speaker A: They're just a representation of what it is. [00:24:00] Speaker B: They are the representation, but the representation of who the people. So therefore, in hip hop, the people are the key. And that's why hip hop is going this direction. Hey, that's what the people like, the youth. Me and Daz really ain't into what anybody think. We make music. So, you know, me, Daz and Snoop and us over here, cause we just make music. You like it or you don't like it? [00:24:28] Speaker D: You see what Snoop said when he used that whole. Huh, going back to bed, he logged off quick. [00:24:35] Speaker B: What was that? [00:24:39] Speaker A: When he used the snoop voice and shit, I didn't like that. You know what my problem with that was? I'm like, bro, Snoop is literally at the house with his wife, but he literally is alive. And he at the house like you. That's not. That's so disrespectful. Like, if I was just put out a rap song and I'm dissing somebody and I use your voice and your voice like they written there at the. [00:24:57] Speaker B: House, don't use my voice. [00:25:00] Speaker A: But that's what I'm saying. To me, it was just disrespectful. But then what I didn't like is because I've been pushing our line so heavily, is the fact that the culture. It's culture, bro. You go get the Dre type beat. You know what I'm saying? Do you use the. [00:25:12] Speaker B: But you know what? Drake is creative. And I'll be honest with you, because me and dad's. Cause we rolling with Kendrick no matter what. [00:25:25] Speaker A: That's what I be trying to explain. [00:25:26] Speaker B: And that's what really hurts, because these are both my friends. Cause as much as I roll with Kendrick, I let everybody know. They say, who your favorite artist? I'll be honest, cuz. Drake is my favorite artist. You know what I'm saying? I love his artistry. I love how he mixes it all up. He could do that with the music and with adding these harmonies and shit like that and singing. And also he's excellent on the mic. I mean, fuck, man. [00:26:00] Speaker A: He's an elite artist. [00:26:01] Speaker B: He did unthinkable with Alicia Keys. Come on, cuz. I mean, that was epic to me, you know, as an artist. Yeah. Drake is the key to me now that going up against my number one murderer. Cause Kendrick is my murderer. This guy murders, okay? He's not to play with. [00:26:20] Speaker A: He's not to be played with. [00:26:21] Speaker B: Kendrick cuts you to bits and pieces. Like corrupt, K dot. Okay, the. Kendrick must have got people fucked up, okay? His name is K Dot, my nigga. Yeah, k like corrupt. And he puts the dot on your head, nigga. Yeah. Stop it. [00:26:38] Speaker A: Stop playing. [00:26:39] Speaker B: So it's like, damn. One of my favorite artists and my number one. Cause Kendrick is my number one. Pause. You understand me? [00:26:50] Speaker A: I get it. [00:26:51] Speaker B: So it's like to hear that they're. Wait, wait, wait. My children usually put me up on things or dads dad ain't telling me to the street. He always let me know, and I'm on the street. I noticed that since we've been doing this DPG shit, cuz you ain't too much social media out. I gotta stay focused. [00:27:13] Speaker A: Well, every time dads get on social media, it cost him money. Every time dads get on Instagram, it'd be like, they go, 10,000, I gotta pay the law. That's 50,000. [00:27:28] Speaker D: Get the poppies. When I talk about real estate. [00:27:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Or you order business moves. But. [00:27:38] Speaker D: I gotta go apologize and be nice to him, so. [00:27:42] Speaker A: Hey, you know what? Matter of fact, I don't want to. I don't conversation. But you gave us a shout out after we did our one on one, our interview with you. You said the business got straight. Like, what happened? You say? Because you said some people owed you money and you talked about hove. I think not. Jay was a Jay Z. [00:28:02] Speaker B: It was a few people. [00:28:03] Speaker A: It was a few people. You say, I want my money. And you was like, I'm. [00:28:06] Speaker D: I got the credit. [00:28:07] Speaker A: You got your credit. Congratulations, bro. [00:28:10] Speaker B: Congratulations. Glad. [00:28:10] Speaker C: Glad that comes. [00:28:11] Speaker A: I'm glad that that went through for sure. [00:28:12] Speaker D: Yeah. You know, it's all to the good shout out. You know what I mean? [00:28:17] Speaker C: No problems. [00:28:18] Speaker D: But it was all about registering. [00:28:20] Speaker A: Gotcha. [00:28:21] Speaker D: Cause, you know, I didn't register, so I registered and it came in, you know. [00:28:25] Speaker C: So was that your fault then, for not registering? [00:28:28] Speaker D: I mean, it supposed to be a company. [00:28:30] Speaker B: Okay. [00:28:30] Speaker A: Oh, gotcha. Cause it was the label shit. [00:28:32] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:28:33] Speaker A: Okay. Got you. That makes sense. [00:28:34] Speaker D: But, you know, you also got to do your follow up. [00:28:37] Speaker A: That's an important lesson, too, to make sure people got. They got their business together. That's what glass has told me. One day, one year. I mean, one day he was like, make sure you handle your business, or your business gonna handle you. [00:28:46] Speaker D: Yeah. And over here at def row, now that we got it, Snoop got it, we handling business. [00:28:52] Speaker A: You know what I wanted to talk about, speaking of full circle, is the Cali is active video. I'm upset I wasn't there, but we. [00:29:00] Speaker D: Was talking about that the other day. That was like. It was. A lot of ice cubes don't come out for nothing, bro. [00:29:05] Speaker B: It was out, bro. [00:29:07] Speaker A: The Cali. The Cali is active is now one of them records that people, like, go to. I don't know. I don't know how to describe it, but it's one of them records that became, like a cultural. Like, it's kind of like how, you know, how Atlanta got the swag surf shit. Our shit is like that. Like, you just throw that on and everybody knows what it is and they know what to do. And we. And we never have to talk about it. You know, say, like, we don't have to have a discussion about what do we like when swags are. Come on, everybody just know what to do. When Kelly Zachary, come on. Everybody's kind of know what to do. When y'all was making that, was that intentional? Did you. There, was that an energy thing or aura's covert would say, or like what? Like, did you know what it was when you made it? Sounds about shout to bat shot the cat to bro. I had to call him, give his flowers. [00:29:52] Speaker B: But yeah, we just did it. [00:29:54] Speaker A: You just did it. You didn't. But did you know what it was? [00:29:57] Speaker D: No, it was just making good music. [00:29:59] Speaker A: Never did. [00:30:00] Speaker C: That's so interesting to hear that. When people, we have these classic records. Classic records. We over here fanning out like, oh. [00:30:07] Speaker B: My God, it changed my life. Yeah, whatever. It was a Tuesday. I'll be honest. You know me. You know, I follow the game. My thing is the mic. Once I know the direction. So. So I follow Daz and Snoop. So excuse me. When Snoop's there, he leads the parade. When Snoop's not there and Daz is there, he leads the parade. I annihilate. Hello, got the target. And that's it. So, you know, when Callie is active, dog led the parade and me and Del Mar just rocked it out. As soon as dog say, this is the way we going. My pin goes. And then normally our process is whoever is done first. You go, you don't really trip off of, you know. Wait, hold on. This person is going first. Nobody gives a fuck. Boop. Dads will be done first. Boop. Okay, you ready? Yep. And me and Snoop will just keep writing. Yeah, we don't really care about the order. The order can be changed later. This is not 1990, okay? This is 2000. Back in the nineties, it was different. You had to be in order. Cause you can't just switch it. [00:31:38] Speaker D: And back in days, you used to get fired from a song. [00:31:43] Speaker B: Just take. [00:31:43] Speaker A: You off the record or tell you. [00:31:45] Speaker D: You in that record, you from the. [00:31:48] Speaker B: Middle of a court, so you can't. [00:31:50] Speaker A: Even come back with a different verse. You off the record, period. [00:31:52] Speaker D: You off the record, period. [00:31:53] Speaker A: Damn. [00:31:54] Speaker D: Everybody's sitting there waiting for. They turn to go, you gotta make it. [00:31:57] Speaker B: So when you make it, it's an accomplishment. You be like, yeah, I did that. [00:32:02] Speaker C: Has there been any records that y'all been fired from that came out at least. [00:32:08] Speaker A: I just wanna know. [00:32:09] Speaker B: Cause that's just what I'm saying, you know? Hell. Oh, no. That's right. All right. We made every. I can't recall a record. You was fired on that one. [00:32:16] Speaker D: I wasn't fired. I was doing production, scratching, TJ and all. [00:32:19] Speaker B: You ain't get fired from none of that either. I never got fired, okay. [00:32:23] Speaker C: He's like, for the record, I want you to let y'all know I ain't never been fired. [00:32:26] Speaker B: I always. [00:32:27] Speaker A: It's a competitive environment, you know. You know what's interesting? When we had Daz on the show by itself, I mean, I'm sorry. When we had corrupt on the show by himself, he was talking about, man. He was like, man, Dre was in there making the beats. He's like, I seen Daz getting his shit off. I'm like, shit, I need to get him my Quincy Jones. He's like. He was like, I need the drums. Give me the bass. [00:32:48] Speaker B: Like, he started drum machine out there when he rented the studio, put it together like this. I said, boop bop boop. You know, I said, you only work. [00:32:58] Speaker D: 50% of the song. [00:33:01] Speaker B: Why is it always a play? It's always like, my d told me about the business of it. Business first. Then he was like, okay, you need to start producing. And then that's when I was like, yeah, yeah. And then he was like, okay, so you know how to make the beat. You know how to work this right here? No, he said, good. You don't need to. You get somebody that makes the drums. You get somebody that can play the keys and you tell them what to play. But learn it, though. If you learn it, you get all the money, bro. [00:33:31] Speaker A: Daz, what is wrong with you? Why you corrupt? Corrupt? You know what I'm saying? [00:33:36] Speaker C: Like, why you corrupt? [00:33:37] Speaker D: The eruption. [00:33:38] Speaker B: It worked out well. The first record I made that was. [00:33:40] Speaker D: A never leave me alone. [00:33:42] Speaker B: Never leave me alone. [00:33:43] Speaker A: Right? [00:33:43] Speaker B: Jeez, Nate, dog. And then Nate said corrupt. Yeah, lay your verse on there. I said, no, Nate, I'm a producer now, okay? I'm doctor Dre now. He said, I'm Doctor Dre. Yeah, we need to get Snoop on here. Cause nothing's bigger than two, one, three. [00:34:01] Speaker E: Kelly. [00:34:02] Speaker A: Right? [00:34:02] Speaker B: So we need to get Snoop on here. You and dog. Trust me. Nate, he was like, you, right? And Nate called Snoop. Cause I couldn't get dog. He was all over the place. But if Nate called, oh, dog gonna come bow, man. Dog came through. Cut. Boom, boom. Superfly added them keys on there. Oh, my God. I said, oh, this is it. Me and superfly mixed that motherfucker to a tea. And I learned about mixing. [00:34:27] Speaker E: Wait, wait, wait. [00:34:28] Speaker A: So y'all mixed it? [00:34:29] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [00:34:30] Speaker A: I didn't know that. I know you. I know you produced it. You didn't tell us you mixed it. That's crazy. [00:34:35] Speaker B: You know, superfly was showing me the ropes. He was like, boop bop. And I did the cuts. I was like, cut here, put the guitar back here. Cause you just hit the button. Cause they record how you hit and then take it out. Cause you do it instrument by instrument. See, back then, you did instrument by instrument. Each one of them, you would go through the whole song, put it in, and then figure out when you want to put it out and keep on going. It's a rhythm. Eight bars is normally how it works. You know what I'm saying? And then you just keep going and throw it in. And then throw it out. And next thing. Cause they recording as you go. So they record the drops. [00:35:14] Speaker D: Called writing. [00:35:15] Speaker B: What's it called? [00:35:16] Speaker D: Auto writing. [00:35:17] Speaker B: Yeah, auto writing. Cut. Yeah, that part. Translation, translation. Translation. [00:35:22] Speaker D: No more. [00:35:22] Speaker B: No daz. [00:35:24] Speaker A: It's your motivation to produce always been about making 50% of the record. The money? [00:35:29] Speaker D: No, I just found out about the 50%. But then the art of it just enthused, you know, I just love making music. I grew up making music. You know what I'm saying? [00:35:37] Speaker B: I know he loved making music. That's why he was like, come on. Corrupt. After he done broke into the studio. [00:35:42] Speaker D: I used to break in the studio. [00:35:44] Speaker A: What does that look like? [00:35:45] Speaker D: What do you mean? Like doctor Dre? [00:35:48] Speaker A: No, I'm saying, like with a crowbar, like you. [00:35:50] Speaker D: No, you know, just going in there. [00:35:52] Speaker B: He hot wired. [00:35:53] Speaker D: Take the back of the elevator. You know how they got the thing out here? Hit the buttons like this. I took the whole thing off. Got a piece of foil. Hit the bam. That motherfucker go up to the second floor. What we need to go up to bam. [00:36:05] Speaker A: You would hot wire. [00:36:06] Speaker D: You gotta have a key to get in there. I just take the back off of it, hit the back of the thing, put a piece of foil in. [00:36:12] Speaker A: What the fuck are you talking about? [00:36:14] Speaker B: Oh, you need him to translate that? Would you? [00:36:17] Speaker A: I hear what he said. [00:36:18] Speaker B: I don't believe studio. Seven times. He invited me on the 8th. [00:36:23] Speaker D: So you having your own sessions. And I went in there without. [00:36:25] Speaker B: Come on. Corrupt. [00:36:26] Speaker D: I'm like, okay. [00:36:28] Speaker B: We lived off of Franklin. [00:36:29] Speaker D: Cause we was Franklin and Whitley. [00:36:31] Speaker B: When we made the dog pound, we called dog house. The dog pound. Cause that's where the dog pound. [00:36:37] Speaker D: One bedroom apartment with about six niggas in there. [00:36:39] Speaker B: Hell yeah. And then dad just woke me up. Come on, crop, let's go to sleep. Well, we go in the studio, go. [00:36:45] Speaker D: Take over Dick Griffith. [00:36:46] Speaker B: I was like, okay, cool. Boom. I thought he had the hookup. I thought we was, you know, thought. [00:36:51] Speaker D: I had the keys. [00:36:53] Speaker B: We get there and cuz like, hold on. [00:36:56] Speaker D: He just put the little screwdriver back, get hit it back, and I'm looking like, whoa. [00:37:02] Speaker B: And you know, bam. We go up. Boop. We go in. Cause he would wait until at like one, two in the morning. Motherfucker. Ain't nobody in the studio. He busting that motherfucker, cuz. We come in and. And then we go in, cuz, and we got the studio all to ourselves. He's like, we got. [00:37:18] Speaker D: Imagine just walking in, the lights just. [00:37:20] Speaker A: Shining like, damn, they not your lights though, bro. The lights not there for you. [00:37:26] Speaker D: Come on. Lights on the board and shit. You know what I'm saying? [00:37:28] Speaker A: They not there for you, though. You broke. That's called breaking and entering. [00:37:31] Speaker D: We just forget that's usually done. [00:37:33] Speaker B: No, no, no. This is the record company studio. [00:37:38] Speaker D: It's defrost studio. [00:37:41] Speaker B: We got rights because we're the artist. The artist. All we gotta do is figure out how to get in to work the board, get in and do what we gotta do. [00:37:50] Speaker A: What song was recorded in one of these? [00:37:52] Speaker D: The first song was every single day. [00:37:54] Speaker B: You motherfucking right. Damn. Every single day. Every single day. Bitches on my dick. [00:38:00] Speaker A: So look, let me ask you a question. Cause I know a lot of people who probably gonna hear this don't understand how the music industry works. I know when you're signed to a label that doesn't give you access. Twenty four seven to the facility. [00:38:13] Speaker B: Right. [00:38:13] Speaker A: So if you want to record the. [00:38:14] Speaker B: Record, it gives us access. [00:38:16] Speaker C: That's what I'm talking about. [00:38:18] Speaker D: This was definitely. [00:38:19] Speaker B: I would suggest somebody, if you want, doctor Drake. [00:38:22] Speaker D: This was NWA. Was. [00:38:24] Speaker A: Did y'all tell anybody that y'all was doing this? [00:38:27] Speaker D: I told Snoop. [00:38:27] Speaker B: Come on, Snoop, I'm gonna show you how to get in. Yeah, I mean, you know, we. Del Mar gave dog the game. Cause dog didn't even know that we could go there after hours. You know, daz, like I said, he did it seven times before he invited me for the 8th. Then he told Snoop about probably the 12th time. And then dog was like, for real. [00:38:46] Speaker D: So how you get all your information? You gotta ask? Let me take the trash out. Let me do this out here and just go around and see what's going here. What's in this door right here? [00:38:52] Speaker A: Oh, shit. [00:38:53] Speaker B: This is the key, coach. We a team, cuz. [00:38:55] Speaker A: That's hella funny. [00:38:56] Speaker B: If you ain't got a dazz, that's crazy in hell. [00:38:59] Speaker D: So put this little piece of paper in between the door, all the way in the back. [00:39:03] Speaker B: That's enough information. This is from the nineties. [00:39:06] Speaker A: It's a long, long, long time. [00:39:07] Speaker B: You gotta pay. [00:39:08] Speaker C: They change information. What I love hearing from that is to hear the passion behind wanting to do what you do. It's like, if you really want this, there are no excuses. And just what you exhibited, what you just did, and then putting the homies on the game to record and make it happen, it just shows that passion that you were talking about, man. [00:39:29] Speaker B: We was walking through the streets. 02:00 a.m. Leaving Franklin coming down the street, which is like three blocks, ain't it, to Popeyes. [00:39:40] Speaker D: And then to sow up, it had a magazine stand. Remember the magazine stand used to be out there. [00:39:46] Speaker B: We used to go out there and watch the source magazine by ourselves, me and dad. This nigga got the crip rag in his pocket. Left pocket, cuz, like, so anything could happen. You know what I'm saying? Hollyweird is weird. So, you know, a lot of guys get there, cuz, and, you know, Del Mar break in, cuz, and we broke. [00:40:07] Speaker D: In the studio one time, and then we seen that don't walk. They shoot a video right there crossing. We just lookin'we. Just watch it like, damn. And then as I know the song come out, I said, damn, we was watching that video. [00:40:20] Speaker B: He was there. [00:40:21] Speaker C: Y'all never got caught? [00:40:22] Speaker D: No. [00:40:23] Speaker A: They didn't have surveillance cameras at the. [00:40:24] Speaker D: Studio, but I didn't have nothing on the studio. You know, it was just so. [00:40:29] Speaker A: But I'm saying. Okay, so look, just hear me out. When you take the elevator up, there's no door that you gotta pick or he just took little door. Oh, he was. Okay. [00:40:38] Speaker B: Once that elevator opens, mapped out, it's ours. [00:40:43] Speaker D: Gotta have a key to get up there. But I'm just. [00:40:46] Speaker A: Whoever thought that dazzling New Orleans hot. [00:40:48] Speaker D: Wire elevators, you know, because I used to take motors out of the little car, remote control cars, and hook them up to batteries and stuff and stuff. So I knew about negative and positive. [00:40:56] Speaker A: Since then, have you tried to hotwire other? [00:40:59] Speaker D: I mean, I do construction stuff. You know, I do electric work and all that. I know, take the ceiling fan out, put a ceiling fan in put some. [00:41:07] Speaker B: I mean, Del Mar, tell them the real. [00:41:08] Speaker D: You gotta get shocked a couple of times. How many times you put that battery to your tongue? [00:41:12] Speaker B: Death row. We have no money when we was on death, bro, you had to ride it out. Figure it out. Figure it out, man, we would wake up in the morning, cuz, and hit. [00:41:22] Speaker D: 211 on the old page. Homeboy come with the weed. We ain't had to put no numbers in there. We just put 211, 187. [00:41:28] Speaker B: No, we would go to the motherfucking market. [00:41:31] Speaker D: The little store, little style got the food stamps. So he going in the front like he buying something. And then we always eat eggs and bacon and shit and just run up out of there. [00:41:39] Speaker B: Put all that up in there. Allegedly, we walked out of there. That's why we hit it every motherfucking other morning. [00:41:51] Speaker A: So how long had y'all been doing this or living this way before y'all actually started to make money on the label? [00:41:58] Speaker B: Probably till doggy style. [00:41:59] Speaker D: Tyler doggy stabs. [00:42:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:00] Speaker D: Cause the chronic, like I said, everybody knew our voice, but they didn't know our face. [00:42:05] Speaker A: Gotcha. [00:42:05] Speaker B: Oh, no. Damn. [00:42:07] Speaker A: So between chronic and doggy style, that's when y'all was running it up. And then. [00:42:11] Speaker D: Til we did doggy dog world. That was till then. Yeah, we used to go to the club. They wouldn't let us in, but they banging our shit. [00:42:20] Speaker B: Snoop was the first one. Cause fucking chronic was out. We went to the club. [00:42:24] Speaker D: Remember that day on the banging g. [00:42:26] Speaker B: Thing outside, on the inside, dog like, yeah. They were like, yeah. He like, who the fuck is you, Snoop dogg? And he was like, yeah, right. [00:42:39] Speaker D: Fuck outta here, man. [00:42:40] Speaker B: That's my song y'all playing in there. [00:42:42] Speaker D: They was like, you remember that club they used to have underneath the Beverly cinema? [00:42:45] Speaker A: $30. [00:42:47] Speaker D: You remember that club they used to have under the Beverly cinema? [00:42:50] Speaker B: Oh, hell. [00:42:50] Speaker D: Hell, no. What was the name of that club? [00:42:52] Speaker B: You remember that club under the Beverly Cinema? By that restaurant where that nigga got robbed? When the nigga sat next to him and said, nigga whop whop took his shit. They had a club under there at a club. [00:43:06] Speaker D: Then Ice tea came out and said, let them niggas in them niggas song playing. [00:43:10] Speaker B: That's crazy. [00:43:11] Speaker A: So once everything hit, you said doggy. Oh, no. Doggy dog world. Wait, which one did you say y'all started making money? [00:43:17] Speaker B: Well, we started making money before then. Cause after the chronic, it's weird. This was ingenious. Gotta be. It's genius. Cause we could have went anywhere we wanted. But only people signed during the Chronicle was snoopy and rage and everybody else besides me, Daz, RBX. We wasn't signed. [00:43:42] Speaker D: We wasn't signed. [00:43:43] Speaker B: Right. So it was like a test to see who people liked. If they liked you, you was gonna get a deal. If you didn't make it, you know, people didn't like you. You know, hey, go wherever you want. So the chronic comes out. It's a success. Complete success. Right? Then we could have just went anywhere. Like, damn. Cause we on the album. You can't take it back. It's in the store. [00:44:13] Speaker A: What are the labels interest, like, hitting y'all up and stuff, man, I wouldn't. [00:44:17] Speaker B: Know because we never left. Contact us. Cause we in the store, nigga. How you gonna contact us? [00:44:25] Speaker D: Right. [00:44:25] Speaker B: You can't. [00:44:26] Speaker D: You don't even know what we look like. [00:44:28] Speaker B: Exactly. And plus, how you gonna contact us, nigga? We ain't going nowhere, nigga. We here, dog. [00:44:34] Speaker A: Here the homies. [00:44:35] Speaker B: We here, cuz. [00:44:36] Speaker D: And we signed for $5,000. [00:44:38] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [00:44:39] Speaker A: As a group or individually? [00:44:41] Speaker B: Individually. Cause we wasn't a group. [00:44:42] Speaker A: So it's five for you. Five for you. [00:44:43] Speaker B: Yeah, we wasn't a group. [00:44:44] Speaker D: His money went and bought him a hair and bone chain from slawson swap meat. You know what? [00:44:49] Speaker B: A herringbone in them motherfucker turned green in three days. Damn. What? Well, no, it didn't. They turned my neck green in three days. [00:44:58] Speaker D: He wasn't supposed to take no shower. He wasn't supposed to take no shower. [00:45:02] Speaker B: It's the one that they cut off, you know, they pull it in. Oh, yeah, yeah. Roll on the gold and swap. [00:45:09] Speaker E: Wait, wait, wait. [00:45:10] Speaker B: Roll on the gold. [00:45:11] Speaker A: So you took your 5000 and you went and bought a chain. [00:45:14] Speaker B: I bought me a herringbone chain. I bought me a motherfucking ounce of weed. And I bought me five. No, it was five. Five bottles of 40oz. Right? And I had the rest in my pocket. [00:45:38] Speaker D: Now, our money went towards the rent. [00:45:40] Speaker C: I was like, what did your money go towards? [00:45:41] Speaker D: Me and Snoop lived together, and we had to go on the road. Our first show was with the ghetto boys in Chicago. And so we had to pay three months worth of rent. So we only left with, like, $1,000 to change like that. You know what I'm saying? [00:45:55] Speaker B: I bouncing around with money in my pocket. [00:45:58] Speaker D: We got paid five. Snoop got paid ten. [00:46:01] Speaker A: So when y'all. Okay, so Snoop got ten. Y'all got five each? [00:46:04] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:46:04] Speaker A: Okay, so you paid rent. You bought a whole bunch of bullshit. [00:46:08] Speaker B: Bullshit. [00:46:11] Speaker D: I was sad when I paid rent. [00:46:13] Speaker B: And motherfucking an ounce of weed. And then I still had some cool cheese in my pocket, right? So then I go back to Hawthorne with my family, and I'm like, yeah. [00:46:26] Speaker D: You know, but we was making money, though. [00:46:30] Speaker B: Cause I did lace the trucks in my family, though. [00:46:32] Speaker D: You know, when Doctor Dre, Snoop Dogg. Unless we did that cross color commercial, that picture. [00:46:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:46:37] Speaker D: You know how much cross color shit we had? We had boxes. Oh, snap, nigga. Come over there, give me four outfits. Four ounce. [00:46:45] Speaker C: Oh, so you was flipping that. [00:46:46] Speaker A: So look. [00:46:49] Speaker D: Always got. I'm talking about when you go to the warehouse. We go to the warehouse. That's when they had the warehouse. We come back with boxes. A whole house full of clothes. [00:46:57] Speaker A: Well, I mean, to be fair, y'all did better things with y'all money than 50 said he did with his money. You know what I'm saying? But he got his advance. [00:47:06] Speaker B: But wait, what did he do with his money? [00:47:09] Speaker A: He said he went and flipped it in the streets. [00:47:13] Speaker D: Actually, when he flipped and bought him a 550, I said, yeah, he did. [00:47:16] Speaker B: Better than we did. I tell you. [00:47:18] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. [00:47:20] Speaker B: But he made his money, paid back double tax. Well. [00:47:24] Speaker A: Cause he said he didn't know it was gonna work out. Like, he was like, I don't know what's gonna come from this rap shit, but I know how to go do this motherfucking right. [00:47:30] Speaker B: Right. [00:47:31] Speaker A: So now y'all making money and stuff like that, and y'all doing these shows and whatnot. Like, when did it. When did y'all feel like, I guess together or individually? Like, okay, people didn't know your face. When did you feel like, okay, we've arrived, though, daz, I noticed corrupt Daz, the dog panel. Like, we're here. When did you. Was that when doggy style came or. [00:47:50] Speaker D: That's when doggy style came. [00:47:51] Speaker C: Okay, you started in the videos. At that point, people recognized the face. [00:47:54] Speaker D: The first video that we did with Doctor Dre was puffing on blunts and Tang Ray with rage. That was just a little premium. [00:48:01] Speaker B: That was awesome. [00:48:01] Speaker C: That wasn't it? [00:48:02] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:48:03] Speaker B: And then when we did, we just didn't get premiered. [00:48:05] Speaker C: Yeah, that wasn't, like, really blasted like that. [00:48:07] Speaker D: We wasn't the dog pound then. [00:48:09] Speaker B: I think for me and you, Daz was the what's my name? Video shoot. Yeah, but wait. Yeah, what's my name video shoot. Cause we was in there. So friends and family knew, like, oh, they could see. Oh, Delmar. Oh, that's Rick. They could see us in it. Cause I said at the end and that was so special to me. I said, I'm about to be a star. [00:48:33] Speaker D: What's your name for? [00:48:36] Speaker B: Cause doctor Dre, when we was in the studio. Boop. And he got to that part, they working on the radio version, and he just stopped and he looked around the studio and he looked at me. Corrupt. Go in there and fill in that gap and don't cuss. [00:48:51] Speaker A: Really? [00:48:52] Speaker B: I said, okay. So I had to be creative, you know? [00:48:56] Speaker A: Oh, you came up with that? [00:48:57] Speaker B: Yeah. They ain't telling me what to say. So I said, okay. [00:48:59] Speaker D: What's your. [00:48:59] Speaker B: Motherfucker. [00:48:59] Speaker A: See that? I didn't even know that. [00:49:01] Speaker B: What's my mother. What's your. I said, what's my motherfucking name? So, boop. I went in there. Bam. And one take Jake is what doctor Dre used to call it. That's when you just do it on the first take, cuz. Damn. [00:49:12] Speaker A: So you said, so you go in there and you're thinking for a minute, or he turned on and you just freestyle. [00:49:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm thinking. I'm thinking as I'm walking to the motherfucker. You understand me, Doctor Drake? [00:49:20] Speaker D: Or. [00:49:21] Speaker B: Or you won't make it. [00:49:22] Speaker A: Oh, you fired from the racket. [00:49:24] Speaker B: I'm walking in there. As I'm walking, I'm thinking, shit. And they go in there, so much pressure. So much pressure. And then I walk in that motherfucker cub. Boop. I say, all right, let's go. They played that motherfucker. [00:49:37] Speaker D: There he is. [00:49:38] Speaker B: And I said, what's your name, fool? [00:49:40] Speaker C: Snoop Dogg. Perfect time. [00:49:45] Speaker A: That was perfect. [00:49:47] Speaker D: When they made. [00:49:48] Speaker A: Yo, I never knew that. That's crazy. [00:49:51] Speaker D: What's your name? [00:49:51] Speaker A: I thought Dre told you to say that. [00:49:54] Speaker B: Nah, I just went in. That's what we always do. It's like freestyling. That's what made us so special. Cause there was no script. They just let us be who we were, you know? Dog was the one who basically wrote the script of, this is the direction. Once we know the direction, we could do. Just do what we want. We're free. [00:50:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:19] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? And if there's something dog sees, he'll be like, ooh, okay. Say it like this, though. Like, bitches ain't shit. That was my verse. I started my verse. Bitches ain't shit. But ho, I did. The verse was like that. That was my verse. And then Doctor Dre was, like, going and lay that as a hook. And when I was laying it, dog changed the end. The bitches ain't shit, but hoes. And tricks. Lick on these nuts and suck the dick. Gets the fuck out after you're done dinner. And he was like, WHOOP. Do it like this. Correct. And he changed the rhythm of the record. Done. Then I hops in my coop to make a quick run. [00:50:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:59] Speaker B: I was like, ooh, bam. And it was over. So you know what I'm saying? So that's what we do, you know, we feed off of each other, you know what I'm saying? And the champ is the captain. So once the champ, if he says, psh, you're in, you're in. Oh, yeah. [00:51:14] Speaker D: Oh, you're fine. [00:51:14] Speaker B: But you gotta be ready at those. [00:51:15] Speaker A: But you gotta be ready, though. Cause if you wasn't ready, you woulda get fired from the record. [00:51:19] Speaker B: You're always ready. [00:51:20] Speaker D: Yeah, doctor dre fire your ass quick. [00:51:22] Speaker B: Oh, boy. Doctor Dre is a different animal, Kyle. Cause what we like sometimes Doctor Dre don't like, you know, doctor Dre be like, yeah, I like that. I want you to say shit like this. Shit. [00:51:35] Speaker A: Oh, literally like that. [00:51:36] Speaker B: Yes. [00:51:37] Speaker A: Over and over with four edges. Four h is not five. [00:51:41] Speaker B: Yeah, the whole verse is bomb. He just wants you to do shit over, and then he'll be like, excellent. All right, redo the whole thing. Take him from the top. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, doctor Dre, everything is great. I just do the shit. No, no, no, you can do it better. Take it from the top. It's like, oh, cuz you can always do it better. [00:52:01] Speaker C: What did that teach you? [00:52:02] Speaker B: Always do it better. [00:52:03] Speaker C: The process. [00:52:05] Speaker B: Oh, man. You know this. It's called perfection. You know what I'm saying? Observing, wanting to be right, you know what I'm saying? [00:52:13] Speaker A: And not get fired. [00:52:14] Speaker B: You never get mad if you don't want to get fired. [00:52:17] Speaker E: I think most artists today don't know that they should be produced. That's the key. Is that, are you being produced or is somebody just giving you a beat and you writing a song or you giving it back? We believe in producing, so when we all together, we're producing each other. That's what he's saying, is that we produce each other. It's never, nobody's bigger than nobody is. But when we was in the presence of Doctor Dre, whenever we're in the presence of him, he produces us. So when we alone are doing our own shit, we try to produce each other to make sure that we at that level that we was on when we was with him. Because that's our introduction. You always try to get where you was always at. You know, the first time that you heard this artist, you want to feel like that every time you hear that artist? [00:53:04] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a fact. Do you think that? But do you think that when you said that a lot of artists aren't being produced, I personally think that's what's missing from a lot of the music, too, as well as the camaraderie, like, getting in the studio, like, dazzling energy. How y'all would get to. Well, he would break into the studio, but then y'all would get together and collectively, like, when I'm listening to the dog. Cause we just talk about doggy style. When I'm listening to doggy style, I can feel the energy of all of y'all collaborating in the room through the music. [00:53:32] Speaker E: We lived together. We all lived together. We hung together. The studio was like our safe haven. We had just finished the chronic album, and the next thing was my record. And it was like the same people that did the chronic album was gearing up for my record, but it didn't feel like my record. It felt like our record, because it was the same spirit. And nobody on our team had ever put a solo record out. So we didn't know that feeling. We just knew that Dre was the star. And now he positioning Snoop to be the next one up. But if you listen to the record, the homies voices is all through that motherfucker. [00:54:08] Speaker A: And you can hear that, though. The other thing is the mix. And I remember shout to my boy Ali, mixed by Ali. I host this panels for the NAMM show every year, and we talk about mixing, and everybody who's as an engineer, a mixing engineer, they always ask me, what's the perfect album list to? I'm like, bro, go listen to doggy style. That's the album. That's the sets, the precedent for the album that you should listen to when you go to mix a record, because so much, there's so many instruments, there's so much instrumentation, there's so many voices. It's like shit that's panned to the left, where it's like, oh, that's just atmosphere, or that's just a car, or like, it's just so many different things like that that I always wanted to get your perspective on, I guess. But from a mixing standpoint, is that something that you feel the same way? [00:54:53] Speaker E: I mean, to me, that's like a classic movie that I'd never be able to have a part two. [00:54:59] Speaker A: I feel that. [00:55:00] Speaker E: But what you try to do is take that actor and put him in movies that can give you that feeling. So in the process of, you know, doing what I do, I try to, like, keep the spirit of who's the greatest producers I ever worked with. Is it Dre, Pharrell? Whoever it is, I always try to take their spirit with me when I'm not with them. And then when I'm with them, I go into being produced mode and being able to, you know, fall into the seat of not being in control. And I think that that doggy style album is what taught me that, because I was produced on that album the whole way I was produced, even it was a song that I freestyle. Whatever it was, it still was produced. It wasn't just say what the fuck you want to say and then put this out. It was produced. It was, like, calculated everything that I said and did. Doctor Drake knew me. He started to know me. Me and him started to hang out. So if he started to learn me, he knew that I liked him. Mac, he knew. I love super bowl. [00:55:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:55:57] Speaker E: You know, I love. [00:55:57] Speaker A: It's personal. [00:55:58] Speaker E: Yeah. So it's like he can engulf all of that into the project, and then all of my family is with me. So we gotta have them in there, their voices in there, and we wanna have some funny shit, that we wanna have some serious shit. So it's like, this is who we are. We making a movie. Basically, those records. The first three records on Death row was movies. Not records. [00:56:18] Speaker B: Facts. [00:56:18] Speaker A: Cinematic classics, too. Go ahead. No. [00:56:23] Speaker C: So how do we bring this full circle back? Because from what I've seen and heard so far from the rollout, and I know the album's gonna be phenomenal. How does that feel, like putting this together, coming back, you know, three decades later? [00:56:36] Speaker E: I'm gonna tell you how I feel. Not to speak for everybody, but when I first bought death row, I know it fucked everybody up because it wasn't a good feeling. Defro didn't have a good feeling in everybody's mouth as far as what we did and the work we put in. So I know it kind of rubbed people the wrong way, but my mission was to clean it up, to get everybody back in position and just help everybody do the shit that we was meant to do when death row was created. So once I got it, it took me about a year and a half to clean that shit up and make it respectable to where people would smile and shake hands when they see death row. And, you know, all sorts of people could always represent it and not feel like they gonna get beat up or none of that shit took all that out of the equation. And then the next step was bringing the family back. Like the original members that were still here. That's still a lie. Whether it's dazz, corrupt rage, RBX. You know, the people that the foundation to this shit when we started, and they all in good health, good spirits. So my job as the leader and the owner of death Row is to go get everybody, to put everybody back in position and do things for them, to show them that this is the way it should have been done. We're not gonna worry about what we can't fix. We still here. God, giving us the opportunity to keep doing what we do. And if we stay true to what we do, people gonna love it, they gonna enjoy it, and we gonna still be able to be who we are. Like, who we are. Like, individually. Not collectively, but individually. That's what made us dope, is that everybody brought something to the table. And now we get a chance to set the table again and let everybody. [00:58:06] Speaker A: Bring something to the table with this release, too. Like, I think it's full circle, but like you said, like, when you. Well, I'm. I have a. I gotta disagree with you. When you first bought death row, I celebrated. Like, I bought it. I mean, but you know what I be on, though? Like, I'm on some west coast shit. I'm on some west coast shit. So I. So when you bought it, I celebrated, like, I own the piece. [00:58:27] Speaker B: We got death row. [00:58:28] Speaker A: I'm like, yeah, I literally said, we. [00:58:33] Speaker B: Boy. You know we got it back, right? [00:58:36] Speaker A: Yeah, you know we back, right. But I just. I appreciate that, though. Cause it's legacy, too. And I know that, you know, even. Not even. Not even just a dog pound as a unit, but, like, I think collectively, the way we move, we playing for legacy on this side. And it's more than just, like, a bag. Like, corrupt just talked about earlier. Like, it's an energy, it's aura. Like, it's a feel. It's family. It ain't about the bag and all that kind of shit. [00:59:00] Speaker E: No, but the dog pound, to me, you can't take away their legacy. Their legacy is cemented facts. But what you gonna put on top of it? That's what this is. Just like, my legacy is cemented, but I stay putting shit on top of you do. So you can't never forget about it. Sometimes you lose doggy style. You be like, man, he did. Damn, that was 30 years ago. [00:59:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:19] Speaker E: That's where I want them back at. These is my nigga. That's my blood cousin. This is my blood cousin right here. So my crip cousin, my back. So on some real shit like this is when I'm at my best. It's when my niggas is with me. You know what I'm saying? Because they make me better. They probably think I make them better, but they make me better. And that makes us all better. Because that's what made death row go in the beginning, is it was always competition. It's only three verses on the song, and it's six rappers in the room. [00:59:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:49] Speaker E: And everybody go, so. And you don't want to go fast. You just want to go right. You know what I'm saying? That's why, if you notice, every song don't have this. Every song is a different motherfucker starting it off. It's never three songs. But even this Doctor Dre album, some of them songs, he don't even start off by himself. Some of the songs on my own doggy style. This nigga go first. So he go first. So it's like, this is how it's set up. It's set up for all of us to be involved. And I'm trying to keep that shit rolling. Cause I feel like I got a buzz right now. I got the feeling, like producing r and b shit, hip hop shit. But Death row was missing this. It was missing the original groups and the original members of the Legacy acts. And then corrupt got a 30th anniversary. [01:00:34] Speaker B: Yep. [01:00:35] Speaker E: No 25th anniversary. Corruption. And then they got a 30th anniversary for dog found next year. Then dads got an anniversary for revenge, retaliation. [01:00:45] Speaker A: And we just did 30 years of doggy stuff. [01:00:47] Speaker E: But I'm just looking at all these 30, 25. So it's like, it makes sense now. Put all that shit back in the equation, make some new shit, and make that old shit go. Start touring again. Dog pound prices is going up, too, by the way. All the niggas with that little bitty money the fuck outta here. Yeah, no money. [01:01:04] Speaker B: No more cafeteria chow. Yeah, no money. [01:01:08] Speaker E: Well, no money. [01:01:09] Speaker C: What I appreciate about it, though, is hearing the growth. [01:01:12] Speaker D: Hell, yeah. [01:01:13] Speaker C: You know what I mean? [01:01:14] Speaker D: He heard the gum. [01:01:15] Speaker C: Growing up, you mentioned how when dog calls you, that euphemism comes back turning. [01:01:20] Speaker A: He said he turned 18, how you called 18 again. [01:01:23] Speaker C: But you still hear the theme of. You still hear the grown up aspect of it. And that's what I appreciate it. Cause it's not. [01:01:28] Speaker B: Yeah. It's still the young energy to a dog called. Cause I'm 51 years old, man. I'm being my wife and kids and grandchildren. Watch law and order. [01:01:39] Speaker E: And you said that on the record. [01:01:41] Speaker C: From a music standpoint, I love hearing that. [01:01:43] Speaker E: They would never say, never say that if they're not produced. [01:01:47] Speaker B: Mmm. [01:01:47] Speaker C: To your point. [01:01:48] Speaker B: Gotcha. [01:01:48] Speaker E: You know what I'm saying? You gotta be produced to know that people want to hear y'all say this, right? They wanna see y'all say that y'all grown because you are like your fans. Some of your fans are 60 years old, some of them 70 years old. [01:02:01] Speaker A: Some niggas bought these, some are 15. [01:02:03] Speaker B: Right, right. [01:02:04] Speaker E: So you gotta think about the whole dynamic of everything. You wanna show them as well, that you grown to youngsters, because some of them think that it's cool to keep it, g. But we showing you that you want to grow up, too, so that gotta have a cutoff day, too. [01:02:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:02:17] Speaker B: And old is the new new. [01:02:19] Speaker E: It really is. [01:02:20] Speaker B: You understand me? That's the whole thing about this project. We all we got. Old is the new new man. We love our age. We fresh. You know what I'm saying? We by ourselves, cuz. We taking care of our grown folks. [01:02:37] Speaker A: Shit, I look at it like a blessing, because a lot, like I always tell my young homies, I'm like, bro, a lot of the homies ain't make it to this age. And, you know, I look at it as many years as I can get here. I'm trying to extend it as long as possible. [01:02:51] Speaker B: I tell people all the time, man, hey, corrupt laska. I said, man, I'm just old. I'm just getting old. But I'm still here because it's an accomplishment for me to be at this age, you understand me? To make it to this age after all we've been through in our lives and all the different things that we had to deal with to get out of situations, man, dog was in the trenches. You understand me? You could never think, knowing him as a youth, that he would be the biggest artist in there, in the world. [01:03:29] Speaker A: Right? [01:03:30] Speaker B: Cause that's what he is. [01:03:31] Speaker A: It's not even close. [01:03:32] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:03:32] Speaker B: You understand me? Only thing bigger than dog is Michael Jackson and Prince. [01:03:37] Speaker A: I would. I mean, I don't want to be disrespectful, but I get it. [01:03:41] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm just being honest. [01:03:42] Speaker A: I'm being honest, too. But the thing is. Hold on, hold on. [01:03:45] Speaker D: Wait. Dog up there with Mickey Mouse. [01:03:48] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. [01:03:50] Speaker B: No, I'm gonna tell you Mickey Mouse. [01:03:52] Speaker A: I'm gonna tell you. No, no, no, bro. [01:03:53] Speaker B: Mickey Mouse ain't an artist. Let me tell you something. [01:03:58] Speaker A: And I'm. I want to say this. I want to say this publicly, because I'll say this to dad. I'll say this to dad, but I want to say this publicly. [01:04:06] Speaker B: Untouchable, though. [01:04:10] Speaker A: There is no other artist or rapper that's bigger than Snoop Dogg, because Snoop Dogg transcends music. Snoop Dogg transcends entertainment. Snoop Dogg is the biggest to ever come from this shit. And that nigga is from the west coast. [01:04:25] Speaker B: Nigga, what? [01:04:26] Speaker C: Come on, now. [01:04:27] Speaker E: We don't need y'all. [01:04:34] Speaker A: I'm just saying it's full circle for. [01:04:38] Speaker C: Me, man, because literally, my first purchase, you know, at, what, five or six years, I went to rodium, swap me, and got Drayday, the single, on the cassette. And now my son is five, and he knows lyrics to Doggy style. I mean, that's my parenting skills, right? [01:04:58] Speaker E: Yeah, it's your great job. [01:04:59] Speaker D: Great parenting. [01:04:59] Speaker C: So, for me, it's a full circle moment, man. [01:05:02] Speaker A: And his wife can see walk, and. [01:05:03] Speaker C: My wife can see walk. But it's an amazing thing to be able to celebrate in real time, man. [01:05:12] Speaker A: She from Long beach. What you want to do? [01:05:13] Speaker C: She gets the feeling, right? [01:05:15] Speaker B: Exactly. [01:05:15] Speaker E: A lot of times, people trying to ask me, what is it about me? It's the feeling I give you. It ain't the music. It ain't the sound. It's the way you feel. Like the presence of being around us is seeing us. Like, when we put the smoke up out, it was a little bit of. Nobody knew what was happening, so it dropped. So I just checked the radar. You know, I got my antennas out there, and the shit I'm getting back the most was, I'm happy to see y'all facts. That shit feel good to see y'all together. Like, it feel good. Yeah, I'm happy to see y'all. Like, that is a feeling. The sound is definitely there. It's what it's supposed to be. But the look, to see these ns happy to see us together, to see us doing what we do and still able to do it at the age that we at and still represent the west. [01:06:03] Speaker A: Still represents, man, listen, I. Well, you know what I represent. You know what I be pushing. I was out here taking on the phase all week, so I said he was. I was like, I'm in the street. [01:06:14] Speaker B: Hey, dog. [01:06:14] Speaker A: I'm out here taking the phase in the street, bro. [01:06:16] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? [01:06:17] Speaker A: And, um. But anyway, I won't even get into that, but to me. What? No, to me, I feel like one of them things, like you said, like, y'all back together, y'all putting this album out. I was a part of the bullshit. Cause I sent the video in and, you know, I heard the dog pound broker, we talked about it earlier. [01:06:34] Speaker E: I need that. I thought you. You believed it, though. You was with the bullshit. [01:06:44] Speaker A: And I was like, but, but you know. And then another thing too is when people don't know what to believe. And so again, when people heard the AI shit and you want to, you like, bro, what's going on? Like, what the fuck is. I was like, I'm gonna be honest with you, dog. I was. I was disrespected. [01:07:02] Speaker B: Cuz. [01:07:02] Speaker A: I'm like, no, no, no, listen though, dog. Just hear me out. I felt disrespected. Cause I'm like, dog is literally at the house with his wife, like, homie gone. Like, we can't. That's between him and his attorneys and all that. Dog at the house. Dog got on slides. Dog probably eating some barbecue. He chilling out of his own goddamn business. [01:07:24] Speaker B: I was eating chicken. [01:07:27] Speaker A: And now he on this bullshit record and people don't know what to believe. And I'm like, 5 hours late. [01:07:32] Speaker B: 5 hours later. How can you do it, man? Ask me some real motherfucking questions. Shut the fuck up, bro. What was he doing? Okay, I'm asking questions. How I heard you 5 hours late. I was giving me. [01:07:45] Speaker C: Was that Netherlands? [01:07:48] Speaker B: What the fuck? All day, all night, what the fuck? [01:07:54] Speaker A: I just. Oh, to me, that's crazy. [01:07:57] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? [01:07:58] Speaker A: And so I always wanted to know your take on it. [01:08:00] Speaker B: But that's hilarious. [01:08:01] Speaker E: You know, I ain't really got no take on none of that shit. My take is the dog pound album will be out May 31. Absolutely. You know, we about peace. No disrespect. Hip hop was built on battling. Respect the battle. But we on peace. Hip hop was built on peace as well. So we on peace, love, unity, bringing our family back together, you know, showing motherfuckers what the west coast really look like. [01:08:23] Speaker A: And that last song on the album, y'all was on some hip hop shout out to dj premier. But that last song, oh, no, they get down. Niggas be acting like niggas on the west. Can't rap though, dog. [01:08:33] Speaker E: My crew get out and shout the rage. You gotta get through them to get to me. And I doubt you getting past that. [01:08:38] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. So I like the lyrical exercise on that last track. [01:08:42] Speaker B: What I told you? [01:08:43] Speaker A: What? [01:08:43] Speaker B: What I told you? [01:08:45] Speaker A: You said when dog called you turning 18. [01:08:48] Speaker B: And I also told you, dog say, there he is. Get him what happens? [01:08:53] Speaker A: Go, that. Was that true? [01:08:55] Speaker D: I got hired. [01:08:55] Speaker E: Hit me. And women, allegedly. No. [01:09:06] Speaker B: Never getting past. Never going to see any. [01:09:09] Speaker A: So. So with that. With that being said, that last track on the album, the reason why, because August brought the hip hop shit, was, did anybody go back in and rewrite they shit? They heard somebody else shit. [01:09:19] Speaker E: The last person to rap was rage. Really, the first person to rap was RBX? I think it was. No. Corrupt. Corrupt went first. And RBX was down the hall doing his shit. And I heard his shit. I was like, let me put a couple of backgrounds on it and bring it in the big studio and clean it up. Cause I didn't like the way his shit sounded, the tone of what he was sounding. But then when I brought it in the big studio, I'm like, okay, he's RBX. His parody's on there. Right then, Daz went in. His shit, his energy. Who the hardest, I think, went all the way up to a whole nother level. I got to come behind all this shit. Let me stay in pocket. I'm just going. I'm not going to go to that. [01:09:57] Speaker D: One part you said, you can't, nigga. [01:10:06] Speaker A: That was probably recorded before. [01:10:11] Speaker E: Be humble. Right, right. That's what I meant. [01:10:13] Speaker A: There you go. [01:10:14] Speaker B: Hey, look at first. Hey, look. Hey, look at first. So dog like, yeah, y'all gonna rock this right here. Yeah, it's gonna be all of y'all. Dog wasn't getting on there. And then as we started busting, dog was like, fuck, I gotta get on this. I gotta get on this. [01:10:31] Speaker A: You know what I respect, though, about. [01:10:33] Speaker E: Rage got it last. Rage got it. She heard everybody's shit. Then she bused, she sent it to me. And I was like, that shit hard. She's like, but I gotta go in and do it again. I'm like, God damn. And she went in and did it again. And this time, when it came up, that motherfucker. [01:10:48] Speaker B: Wow. [01:10:49] Speaker E: I had all that shit on it. All that. [01:10:52] Speaker A: Yeah, the animation and all that characters. Yeah. You know what I respect about you, though, correct? You ain't afraid to go first ever. [01:10:58] Speaker B: He ain't either. [01:10:59] Speaker E: I know. [01:10:59] Speaker A: I know that. [01:11:00] Speaker E: But I'm just saying, both of these niggas will. They will jump off on the one with the east siders. [01:11:05] Speaker B: Oof. [01:11:06] Speaker E: Yeah, check this. Tradie had his whole verse roll. And we watching the boxing match. It's a boxing match going on with Garcia and Haney. He's standing up, watching with his phone in his hand. The booth over there. Dad sitting in the corner, it's the 6th round. Tradie still ain't winning. 7th round, nigga dad's and win the bull. That nigga loaded up like, nigga, I ain't waiting. [01:11:33] Speaker A: Nigga, I'm gone. I'm gonna get my shit off. [01:11:35] Speaker B: Yeah, that's how we get our greatest work, though. You know, it's like I was telling you earlier. It's like, you know, it's a feeling. Cause, you know, a nigga be in there writing, doing his thing, and then somebody just say, all right, okay, you ready? Poop. And you just let him go. And it just sets the tone, you know? You know the thing about Doctor Dre, cuz, he taught us ethics. Him and Tupac taught us ethics. [01:12:00] Speaker E: Tupac, really? [01:12:01] Speaker B: Yeah. You see what I'm saying? [01:12:02] Speaker A: Ethics? In what way? [01:12:03] Speaker B: Well, doctor Dre's perfection made us understand, you know, quality. [01:12:08] Speaker E: Tupac speed. [01:12:10] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, man, come on. Y'all in the studio just working on one record. [01:12:13] Speaker A: Oh. [01:12:14] Speaker B: Oh, he shaved. Y'all. What the fuck y'all doing up in here? This nigga done knocked down five motherfucking records, cuz. [01:12:21] Speaker E: All his homies is on every other song. He got niggas involved. He came, stole niggas out of my studio and put them on his song. [01:12:29] Speaker C: That nigga. [01:12:30] Speaker E: But he showed us how to, like, maximize the studio. Cause we were so used to just making a record. Call some bitches over, let them hear and bitches over, let them hear this shit. Banging the bitches like it. That nigga like, man, fuck that. [01:12:44] Speaker B: That nigga supposed to be making four. [01:12:46] Speaker E: Five songs a day, nigga. What y'all think he was bop about his shit? That's what I love about that nigga. He was. He would tell you he didn't have no. Biting his tongue. That nigga say, what the fuck he feel like. He say, what the fuck he feel. But at the same time, we all was the same age, so it was never like nobody punking nobody. It's just like, we trying to make each other better. So it's like, when he worked with Daz, him and Daz had their own relationship when he fucked with corrupt, him and corrupt had their own relationship when he fucked with me. Everybody had their own separate relationship with Pa. But at this, at the same time, collectively, we had a group relationship with him when we would all be together, but we fucked with him individually. Like, that's how Daz was able to get all that goddamn music done on that first album, to start that album off and have that shit bang. Like that that's causing him being like this without us being there. [01:13:36] Speaker A: Now, who was the one. That's the main one in the studio saying, like, nah, you gotta redo that. Like, you gotta come harder than that. [01:13:42] Speaker D: Shit everybody just listened to. [01:13:44] Speaker B: Yeah, they never had to do that. [01:13:46] Speaker A: You know, we listen to. [01:13:48] Speaker E: We got real honest ears, like, and as a rapper, you know, like, nigga, if my shit ain't up to par, then I may need to fix my shit. But we never had that. Whenever nigga got on, that's. That's some crazy shit. That never was like that. [01:14:00] Speaker B: Never know. Cause when you laying it right. First of all, we never laid shit without us all being there. So when we all there and you laying your shit, dog will be like, hit the button. Hey. Okay, no, take that part out. Let me see. [01:14:19] Speaker E: But that's what I learned from DLC. [01:14:21] Speaker B: Okay, say it like this, though. Say this instead of that. Like, there was one line on the new Dog pound album. I said something because it was just like, no, no. [01:14:31] Speaker A: Oh, you can't say that. They took those words away from us and put it in both holes. [01:14:38] Speaker B: It come on. [01:14:41] Speaker E: Corrupt. [01:14:42] Speaker B: You know that your wife is in here. Take control. Look, say it like this. Corrupt. Yeah, but, you know, he was serious. [01:14:53] Speaker E: Putting it in both holes. [01:14:59] Speaker B: Okay, stop. Wait. Okay, wait. Hold on, wait, hold on. The dog came up with the words. He said, all right, corrupt. Say this. I said, okay, good. Got it. Bang. [01:15:13] Speaker D: Boom. [01:15:13] Speaker B: Wrote it in my phone wap. And it's just like, you know, that's what we do. [01:15:17] Speaker E: Cause we fans of each other, so we know what we supposed to sound like when we're our best. That's just that. So it's like everybody in our crew, fans of each other. We, like, love each other's songs. We love each other's verses. You gotta peep that out. When we perform and how we engage with each other's shit, it's a love for the fact that this nigga can rap. This nigga got so much energy on the song. Like, that shit makes it all come together. When I was performing without them niggas, I'm gonna be honest with you. My shit just didn't feel right the way it was supposed to feel. Yeah, I was selling out and doing this and doing that, but the feeling wasn't there. Like, you know what I'm saying? So now I feel like the feeling is there. We finn, hit the road. We're going to Canada, do some dates. They got a whole new makeover on their show. Everything just feel good now. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, everything. [01:16:02] Speaker D: When we performing and stuff, we all communicate eye contact. [01:16:06] Speaker E: Yeah, that's a real thing. We don't never be like, hey, nude. That just be like, nigga, all right, niggas, get my back, nigga. Get these last words, nigga. [01:16:17] Speaker B: I don't know. [01:16:17] Speaker E: These next four lines coming up. [01:16:18] Speaker B: Nigga, you looking at me? Are you looking? [01:16:20] Speaker D: I don't know. The nigga do like this. [01:16:23] Speaker B: You gotta keep your eye on each other. Cause I be forgetting shit. And then I'll be like, WHOOP, WHOOP, WHOOP. And I know I'm finna forget shit. I look for Daz, be right there, this wide, and dance. [01:16:33] Speaker E: Look at me. [01:16:34] Speaker B: I look at snoop, and then, dog, he see my eyes. What? [01:16:39] Speaker E: The teleprompter? [01:16:40] Speaker B: You damn right. That's the cheek. [01:16:42] Speaker A: Oh, the prompter. [01:16:42] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. That shit work miracle. [01:16:44] Speaker A: I always wondered how, like, what catalog is deep as y'all like, how do you remember all of them? [01:16:49] Speaker E: I started doing that shit, like, ten years ago with the teleprompter. Cause I forgot a lot of my songs. And I'm like, why won't I just have that motherfucker right where the speaker is at? Right in front of the speaker? [01:17:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:17:00] Speaker E: So you can't see when I'm looking down to see a couple of my lines. I just need to get a couple of them. [01:17:05] Speaker B: That's all. [01:17:05] Speaker A: It's here. [01:17:06] Speaker E: It's like riding a bike. But if I don't two or three words, I need to see them motherfuckers. And the rhythm gonna come, then I'm gonna see it. Even though the 9th type this shit, not the way it's supposed to be. [01:17:15] Speaker A: But I don't know. [01:17:22] Speaker B: We did the doggy style reunion tour. Reunion tour. And he added up there. I had to do stranded on death row. I've never really done that. [01:17:31] Speaker A: So live, huh? [01:17:32] Speaker B: Yeah, so it was like, I really didn't know it, man. He had that teleprompter up. I just. I call it the snoop boom. Cause dog would just stand in one spot. Cause. And just bust. And the crowd just don't just love it, my nigga. [01:17:47] Speaker E: And he'll just. [01:17:48] Speaker A: He looking at the goddamn. [01:17:52] Speaker B: And then he'll just move this way. After he got it, he'll just move this way. So I just stranded on death row, and I just stayed right here busting about him, looking right here. Got these dark glasses. So I'm seeing everything, but I'm just right here. It's all about the movement, all about the movement. But I'm just looking until I got. Oh, I know the rest. Ah, I could go that way. I can go this way. I'm gone, cuz. [01:18:14] Speaker A: Bro, you know, that's funny as hell, because in my mind, I'm standing as a fan. Cause I like to watch from the. I like to watch from the crowd. So as a fan, I'm standing there, I'm like, damn, he busting. Like, he going crazy and he looking at the fucking. [01:18:27] Speaker B: But you need. [01:18:27] Speaker E: You want that. You want the feeling that this n know his shit. You'd rather that than him miss the words. Yeah. Like, and see, you can't tell he looking, because it's all part of the way I designed this shit. It's cinematics. It's like the speaker right here. So if you rapping to look down at the speaker, ain't no bad thing. You may be closing your eyes. What niggas don't know is I done, like, maybe 100 shows when my eyes was closed for, like, 58 minutes out of the hour. [01:18:56] Speaker B: Wait, what? [01:18:56] Speaker E: What? 58 minutes? My eyes was closed out of an hour long show. [01:19:00] Speaker A: Where was you at? Was you there? No, I'm saying, where was you at. [01:19:04] Speaker E: Mentally, no, not remembering. I was zoning out. Like, I go into a. I want to sound just like the record. I want to feel just like whatever year it is, if it's dropping like it's hot, I want to feel like 2005. If it's anything off doggy still, I want to sound like 93. I'm like. I'm precise with my shit, trying to, like, fill it. When I'm singing certain records, if I'm doing murder was the case, I can't be smiling, looking at you like, I'm really finding, you know what that shit was. [01:19:32] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? [01:19:32] Speaker E: So it's like, I done a lot of shows where them was the best shows I did. Cause I was just. And the fans love that shit. Cause they, like, this nigga is into it, so I can get into him. [01:19:43] Speaker A: You know what I mean? [01:19:45] Speaker B: That's crazy. This is how, you know. See, this how I know this is my family. Because, you know, Snoop raised me so, and he raised us too. But we all have. We all think alike, and it's crazy because that's what he does. Now, I learned the eyes closed because I said, you know what? Cause I fucked up on Sacramento with Daz. [01:20:11] Speaker A: He remembered the city. You know, that's the. [01:20:14] Speaker B: I ain't remembering their word. Daz called me the next morning, like, you gotta give me half your money, you ain't even did. [01:20:22] Speaker D: I was serious in the moment. [01:20:25] Speaker B: And then I said, you know what? Yeah, I need half your cheese. [01:20:29] Speaker C: Dad was dead ass, though. [01:20:31] Speaker B: Very serious. I was like, no, cuz. Hold on. Let me get it together. [01:20:34] Speaker C: I'm gonna get it together. [01:20:35] Speaker B: I just started studying performers, and believe it or not, it wasn't rap performers. I was looking at r and B performers like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Teddy pendergrassing them. And when they was performing, they. Shit, man. They closed their eyes and they would really be into it. That's how they got they vibe and closed their eyes. Their eyes were closed and they would sing it. And that's what the crowd loves, is your performance, not you looking at them facts. And I was just watching them, like, let me close my eyes with this shit. And then I could probably remember my lyrics. You know what I'm saying? Cause I ain't got no distractions. Cause the crowd will take you away I've been rapping, and then I see one person's eyes. They looking at me, damn. [01:21:20] Speaker A: Stop, nigga. [01:21:20] Speaker D: Like, hey, you remember me, right now. [01:21:23] Speaker A: You try to remember the truth. [01:21:24] Speaker B: So that's crazy. Dog said that about closing the eyes and getting in tune with the music and giving the performance. Like, the crowd ain't even there. Let me just deliver. That's all they want. And I tried that, and it worked. [01:21:44] Speaker A: Ever since, to be fair. Like, I do want to give y'all y'all flowers, though, for real. Because every time I've seen individually or together, seeing y'all perform number one, you hit all your vocals. Like, it ain't. Like a lot of backtrack. It ain't. You know how the young, younger, they perform over the mp3? They just perform over the mother. Yeah, they drop over. Y'all perform. Y'all. Y'all hitting everywhere. [01:22:05] Speaker B: And. [01:22:05] Speaker A: And then the other thing is, you sound like the record. Like, a lot of times, that's not the case. Like, dog was saying, like, that's kind of important for the experience. Like, if I'm coming to see the 30 year anniversary of this or if I'm coming to see you do dog food, the whole album, like, I want to go back there. You know what I mean? I don't want to be in 2024, like, in the quarantine. Like, damn, they don't sound like, you know, are they missing a step or missing the word or whatever? Like, so that's. That's. That don't go unnoticed. That's appreciated. [01:22:32] Speaker E: Would you pay for a dog food? Doggy style, too. [01:22:34] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [01:22:35] Speaker A: Let me tell you one of the most. Let me tell you something. Oh, wait, that's announcement. [01:22:39] Speaker E: No, they know. [01:22:42] Speaker B: I was like, wait, what? Okay. [01:22:44] Speaker A: Before I blew past that, because I want to tell you something, that this is a personal thing. One of the main things I regret, actually, two things I regret in life, is, one, this girl I didn't holler at when I was, like, in high school, but whatever. And the second thing is, it's not going up in smoke to it. [01:22:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:23:00] Speaker A: And because. Not because I didn't want to. I just couldn't afford it. Like, we was on welfare, you know what I'm saying? I couldn't go to the open smoke tour when I was a kid, but that's one of my main, like, watching that shit as being the West coast person I am. That right there was like, that's one thing I wish I would have been a part of, like, as a fan, just watching y'all from growing up and not being able to listen to your music in front of people like my. My grandma and shit. But, you know. But, like, just certain things like that. That's one of the moments in time that I regret not being a part of. [01:23:31] Speaker E: It was a big move. Cause I had just finished my last album on no limit, last meal. I just finished east sider shit. Dre just finished chronic 2001. Eminem was out. Q was in. Warren G was still out. So it made sense. Drake put that shit together like that while we was on the road. I don't know if y'all know it or not, but DJ Pooh wrote the watch. [01:23:57] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [01:23:58] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [01:23:58] Speaker E: And he wrote the watch out there on the road. [01:24:01] Speaker A: He wrote the watch while y'all was on tour. [01:24:02] Speaker C: I didn't know that part. [01:24:03] Speaker A: Oh, that's crazy. [01:24:05] Speaker E: He came on the road with his feet. We had to convince doctor Dre to do this shit. Cause this niggas just don't do none of that kind of shit. We convinced him to let Pooh ride it. Pooh wrote the motherfucker. Then we got back home, we convinced him to come shoot it. And when we shot it, we was like, we're gonna put Eminem in it. Woo wop. And did that shit. But that upper smoke tour created that movie. That's what I love about the upper smoke tours, that it created something after that. And that was an experience that people treasure, even if you watch it on videos. Like, it's a great experience to see us actually doing the shit in a real beautiful way. [01:24:41] Speaker A: I watched that. I wore that I wore that video out. But, like, to me, that's just one of the moments, like, and I. That's why I'm kind of excited. Before you came in, though, we was talking about, like, just getting back together and the nostalgia of it all and, like, the energy. I don't. It don't seem like y'all just went in the studio and just randomly did a something, records it sound like if the energy feel like it's supposed to feel. And so that's kind of why I'm. [01:25:03] Speaker E: Decided this is what they do, and people love what I do, and I just feel like it's time to put back what we do. Like, we not. Oh, we're not done. We still got time to do what we do. And the west coast need it, the industry need it. This is what we represent. We a solid foundation of what music was built on the west coast, and we're growing with the new sounds that we got and bringing in new accent. [01:25:27] Speaker B: We got. [01:25:28] Speaker E: The baby got blast, you know what I'm saying? Got people on the record that actually, you know, translate to now, you know what I'm saying? As opposed to just being an all old niggas. That's 50 something dollars. These are records that's gonna translate no matter how old you are. [01:25:41] Speaker C: Yeah, man, I'm excited for it. I know the people are excited for it, man. It's just glad to see you guys all back together. Cause the dog finally broke up. [01:25:50] Speaker A: Hey, what's your thoughts? [01:25:51] Speaker D: What's your thoughts? [01:25:52] Speaker A: Cause Daz told us a story when he first called. When he first reached out to you earlier, he was like, yeah, I pulled up to the studio, corrupt, didn't know I was here. And he's like, y'all reached out to snoop? He's like, I thought it was just time to just get back. Cause I asked him, like, what made. What brought the energy back together? And dad was like, it was just time to reach out to my cousin, and he said he snuck in, and Krupp came in and saw him sitting there, like, oh, you snuck in here? Okay, cool. But what was your thoughts initially? I know it wasn't, like a thought that we were gonna go in and do a project initially, but what was your thoughts initially when he first reached out? Like, let's do some shit. [01:26:25] Speaker E: Well, my little brother had passed away, and one thing about my little brother is that he loved the fuck out of dads, and he loved us together and to honor him, you know, my mission was to, you know, I started calling family members after that he was gone. [01:26:42] Speaker D: He was attacking me. [01:26:43] Speaker A: Oh, that's killing you? [01:26:45] Speaker E: Cause they, like, they know we supposed to be together. We got family that. [01:26:48] Speaker D: I mean, me and Snoop like we cousins, but we like brothers. We grew up together. [01:26:52] Speaker E: So family know that we family. So when we not right, they know we not right. So in that they don't wanna pick sides like they supposed to. [01:26:59] Speaker A: Facts. [01:27:00] Speaker E: So when I reach out to him, I'm like, man, y'all get dazed. Let's figure it out. So me and him get on the line and we communicate. And I'm like, man, come over and see me. He come over. I'm like, damn. Corrupt is in town. Good, come over. Cause we all need to, you know. But I didn't say Daz was coming. I just was like, just come over. [01:27:18] Speaker D: Hold up. [01:27:19] Speaker E: He in there. He in there. This is the first thing he say? You blocked me, Delmar. [01:27:24] Speaker B: Wait. [01:27:25] Speaker A: Blocks corrupt? [01:27:26] Speaker B: I think it blocked 100 niggas over. That nigga's a great. [01:27:32] Speaker D: Oh, my God. [01:27:34] Speaker A: You petty on social media, dad. [01:27:37] Speaker B: That nigga dazz block every. [01:27:38] Speaker A: Even niggas that didn't have any do with that, bro. [01:27:40] Speaker E: He said, man, why dad block myself? Cause you was standing next to it. [01:27:43] Speaker B: That's it. [01:27:45] Speaker D: Well, you slid next to snoop. I'm blocking it. I stand next to snoop because, you know, I'm just going on the road and all that shit. So I'm like, no, rock fuzzy. Yeah, rock fuzzy. [01:28:07] Speaker B: Block my wife, man. Do that. [01:28:10] Speaker D: Exactly. [01:28:10] Speaker A: That's crazy, bro. We family. [01:28:13] Speaker B: You block fuzzy. [01:28:15] Speaker A: Karate. [01:28:18] Speaker B: Now that shit for doing shit. That nigga was like, oh, you know, dog hit me and said, corrupt, it's time to come back home. Let's roll. And then next thing you know, I said, okay. Now, I called in and I told. [01:28:33] Speaker D: Dazzling, I don't want to be cutting the grass. [01:28:38] Speaker B: With the dog, right? So I said, man, the dog called. WHOOP. I said, del Mar, get ready because the champ's going to be calling you. What? Okay. He's so nice at first. Okay. Boom. The next morning, I'm blocked. My wife is blocked. I said, this nigga here, cuz, he wasn't even mad. I said, man, yeah, dog, call, cuz. Get ready. It's probably gonna be cool. [01:29:00] Speaker D: And then I get on my iPad that ain't connected, and I can look at everybody's shit. [01:29:06] Speaker A: Oh, you got a burner account. You got a burner account. [01:29:08] Speaker B: That's your petty, bro. [01:29:09] Speaker A: What's wrong with you? You block everybody when we all get. [01:29:13] Speaker E: In the room, right? We get chilling and we just like, fuck, what happened yesterday? Let's just talk about today. And we chop it up. We chilling, having a good time. And then we just basically just start talking about where I want to go and what I want to do with them and the things I see that they could be doing and how they should be upgrading and remade or whatnot. And they listening. I'm like, I don't want to own you niggas or run you niggas. I just want to help because I see certain things that I can do, do that can make us better. Not just y'all, but us. Cause when we look good, we look good. When we look bad, we look bad. So then I throw a beat on. Boom. Just drop the little hook on it. [01:29:52] Speaker B: It's over. [01:29:53] Speaker E: They take off. Damn. The smoke up. Then we finish with that one, put another one up. And then five days later, we got a whole album that's blazing. [01:30:02] Speaker A: That's it. [01:30:02] Speaker B: That's amazing. [01:30:03] Speaker C: Boom. [01:30:04] Speaker B: Hey, bro, that's crazy, dog. Laid the direction because that's the first thing you do. And we all there, but we have no idea. [01:30:16] Speaker D: I tell you, it's like a robber. [01:30:18] Speaker B: Then a dog just. [01:30:19] Speaker D: We treat the rap game like a robbery in our. Execute this the plan, dog. Put the plan there. We go in there with the motherfucker. Hit the wall hole. Put a hole in it. [01:30:29] Speaker A: Go to hit the safe. [01:30:30] Speaker B: We the Doberman gang. Got you over me. [01:30:33] Speaker D: Come back out. You know what I'm saying? [01:30:35] Speaker E: What I respect about this project, and I'm gonna say this to you, Daz. Daz didn't produce one song on this beat. And he had no ego or no attitude about it. Daz is a dope ass producer. Facts. But for him to say, all right, big cuz, you drive it. You pick the music. You tell us which way to go. I commend you for that, cuz. That take a lot of. And I'm using you right now as an example to a lot of n with as far as like, to say, look what Daz did. This niggas on this bomb ass album. And I know he got rocks in his motherfucking hard drive. Cause it was one song. He was like, send me that beat. When the Rick Jackson, he was like, I could just fill it in. He was like, you had that itch back to, like, touch some shit. I'm like, nah, I need you to stay in his rap mode. But for him to stay in rap mode and not say it's about us. Thank you. That's team ball. That lets you know what this project is about. It's about what's best for the project. Now, the next project should be produced by Daz and Superfly, if you ask me. [01:31:33] Speaker A: So another one is coming. We got to. [01:31:35] Speaker E: You can't just leave. This was just me getting them back in shape. These niggas ready to fight now, so they don't need me in the gym no more. They just needed the dog to put the speed bag up. Put the punching bag up. This how we do treadmills. This is how we do this, okay? This how we work out. Cool. We all. [01:31:51] Speaker B: We all through the same system. New album, definite record system program. With dazzling superfly, with that dog food. [01:32:01] Speaker E: With the publishing being right. Most important, with the publishing being right from the rip. [01:32:07] Speaker A: That part. [01:32:07] Speaker E: Credits like nobody misled. We getting credits right from the top, because that's what we didn't pay attention to when we first signed up. You know, and then we got mad later on. But it was our fault for signing that contract, right? And the law say, you can't fix something. You already then did facts. So it's like we told what I told y'all, though. What I say, this was the realest conversation that we had, and I'm gonna share it with y'all. I said, when we was on death row records, we probably didn't make the money we supposed to make. But when we got off death row records, we made way more money than we made on death row. So, do we fault death row, or do we thank them for giving us the opportunity to go get that? And now that it's back, let's go get this unfinished business. Because now the paperwork is right now. And then with them old projects, I can make shit right because I own shit. [01:32:56] Speaker B: Right. [01:32:56] Speaker E: So the shit that he actually produced and he wrote and all this. [01:32:59] Speaker A: Hey, bro, appreciate you, dawg. That dog pound album, man, it's a lot coming from the west, in case you ain't know. In case you ain't been paying attention, the west got something to say.
