Foreign. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. [Music]

I will make something now. When I tell you right here, this brother is an entrepreneur. He is my hands down, my back. He was hands down, seriously, my favorite artist CEO there is. I always see him hold down his artist. I always see him with them. I always see him want the best with him. He's I already just—he's charging [ __ ] 25,000 just to have your car next to his. The man has been countless, and they're here promoting their [ __ ] everything, everything.

And so, in case you don't know what I'm talking about, and and just right off the jump, I want to make it clear: I invited my big homie right there. And by the way, I can tell you a drinker. Did you get this? Is that the whiskey with the with the uh with the ice cube?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's how you drink it.

Yeah, that's how I drink whiskey too. Yes, just straight, a little bit of ice cream.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. And then once that ice goes, you need more whiskey.

Just okay. Yeah, okay. All right. Let me ask you something because I just drops the elephant in the room.

Yeah, at one point you were the owner.

Oh, yeah. Of? Can you explain this? Can you tell us? That's something. This is uh my pad, my I I got my future in my past uh so some of the future. This is so Ace was my first brand.

What'd you do? Everything. Everything you're looking at is that brand, right? Um, huge success. It's a great brand uh uh you launched it from the Inception. It was it was your baby.

Yeah, from the Inception. And uh, amazing brand, and it it catapulted me. It gave me the ability to do all these other brands. That was the goal. So new brands, new brands. So do say uh Bel Air, bamboo, McQueen, Vion, and now the Deacon. God damn it, we're gonna make us some [ __ ] together too.

So let me ask one thing that I noticed when Bel Air came out was I went to the champagne section and it wouldn't be in the champagne section; it would be in the sparkling wine section. Why is it in the sparkling wine section and not not in the champagne section?

It well, it depends on the story you're in.

Oh, really? Yeah. So in some cases, it's ideally I want to be in both sections, right? That's ideal, right? You want to be in the champagne section, and you want to be in the sparkling section. All sparklings, big picture, all champagne, all Prosecco, all cavas from Spain, Prosecco from Italy, champagne from France is sparkling, right? And then each one falls into their categories. So Bel Air you'll find in both categories.

Oh, okay. Okay. I didn't see that. So now Rosé, talk to me. We gave it to you. We gave it to y'all last night.

Oh, I'm just being honest, but you know uh you know Jimmy Buck has had to sit out and make some things happen, so I'm happy you guys pulled it off.

Yeah, let's keep it interesting. I do love the sport, you know what I mean? This is my childhood. Like when I see the Knicks playing the Heat, I'm thinking of Tim Hardaway. I'm thinking Alonzo Mourning. I'm thinking of those yeah, even those those edges when when basketball was basketball, where you could wait, they're not calling the foul just when you're touching your thing. Yeah, so I I I I I haven't been this excited in 10 years, but because I guess we haven't made it so, but I'm I'm this the first time you guys made a a home game, you know, won a second-round home game. Why did I bring this up? So I actually was happy for you guys. Oh my God, I looked over at your coach, and he deserved it. Holy [ __ ]

So let's talk about this um this car, a car show. Yeah, we got a huge car show coming. So I heard it started at 2000, but then this [ __ ] got so big you started to charge [ __ ] 25 racks.

No, no, no, but that that's for a special vendor slot. That's when you want to be right next to Rosé, get to meet the big boys, the big dogs. This is for the big boys. This is not one of those car shows where you come and if you win they give you the 50 plastic trophy. No, no, no, no, no. This is where you get the network, really boss up, the the chains and the keys that I'm giving you. This is damn near six figures that I'm gonna put.

Oh, so someone wins a prize? Yeah, yeah. You know, we got big boys coming from out of the country, right? From all over the, you know, in the U.S. So it's going to be a real huge event.

Yeah, you're gonna have—oh man, I'm not even sure, but yeah, I'm not even sure how many cars. I know we're expecting close to 7,000.

Damn. And this is your second year doing this?

Second year. And really, it just began out of the line. Last year was the man.

Yeah, it was. It began out of the love. You. It was amazing. Wasn't you an Envy battling at one point?

No. Interview was never on my level. I would I would I would never do that. No, no, no, no. Every time I was like speaking the [ __ ] rapping without rapping with Envy. I like Envy. I [ __ ] with Envy, you know what I'm saying? But in the car game, he not ready for that, you know? But I supported [ __ ] and anybody that go there. You got a lot of heart. Anybody that goes to Envy's [ __ ], I [ __ ] with you too. Yes. And just tear this [ __ ] up. But yeah, but but because it's different because like um I I let me pick up you and because y'all the only two people I've been seeing doing that and y'all are have class. So so what kind of cars is this? Is this old schools? Is this new schools?

All all around, really really. I invite everything around, but the heart of it most definitely is classic collectible cars, hard-to-find cars. I love to see a one of one. If you come with something I've never sung, I'm gonna offer and try to buy you a car from you. Last car show, I bought six cars.

You know, right on the weekend, right there. And it was a lot of cars bought and sold.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's one of those situations, you know what I'm saying? There's deals. Yeah, it's dudes walking around with the Duffield bag. What's happening? Wow.

Yeah. And this is all on your property?

Yeah, this on my property. But you got the biggest U.S. pool in the world, right?

In the US, the largest U.S. residents you put.

Yeah, yeah. Without a doubt. I think North American out here. Not even you as I think I'm not even Canada. You're including you included Canada, you know? But most definitely it's a situation where, you know, it began out of love. It's just like me making music. It's just like me, you know, making my Alias Rosé and then getting a rock with my favorite rosette-looking bro. You feel me?

Right. Right. And then, you know, me being a car collector, want to invite some of the greatest car collectors, car builders, interior designers. Let's let's do business right, you know? You said he's your favorite entrepreneur, right?

Yes. Like I think the key about the car show is he just had an idea and he just said and posted it and he said like, I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm gonna go do it because it's me and I want to do it. That was the most amazing about it.

Wow. And it all freaking came together at the same time, and it was packed, and it was crazy, crazy.

So it wasn't like a money play. It was like something.

Yeah, yeah. Most definitely. Yeah, because I'm 200 plus. That's one thing I love about you. I love following you because we show people a great lifestyle without flossing. It's a great balance to it, you know what I'm saying? Like you buying all these beautiful things, but for some reason, I don't feel like you're flossing on us. I feel like you're just saying this is motivation.

I'm gonna be honest, that's not my goal to floss on you. I just know what he did for me, you know what I'm saying? Growing up in Carol City, we used to go walk out the 183rd Street and right before 5, 6 p.m. because we knew all the Dolphin players would be leaving practice and you watching Reggie wear a Richmond wear Brian buying that two or 600 bins with the white with the white rims. That was that motivation I needed. I need to see it [ __ ] reading it. I need to see it right. That's maybe why I didn't really grasp and in those earlier years I needed a school that showed me the film, the the school system failed me.

Oh my God. Thank you. You should know. But but you've been to the house?

No, I haven't been in the house. I got an invite once with Rap Radar, but I didn't want to go with them. You should see.

Okay. But if you if you go, yeah, what happens? What happens is because we're always sending young artists there to go meet him there. They get they get goosebumps because this they see it. It's real. I can get this. I can get here too. I can have it. Oh my God. And the feel you're sitting on people, the promise, man. What's the problem? 300 acres, 60,000 square feet. Some projects bigger than the projects. Oh, it's Street projects and a couple of football fields. Yeah, I'm just thinking about it. I'm sorry. It's a hood, but that's how I'm thinking about it. He jokes, but it's true. You drive the tractor to mow the lawn. By the time you finish, you got to start all over again. Do it before I just left. You ain't have time, man. It's just it's beyond motivating. It's beyond motivating. Oh, man. Do we make some noise for that? Yeah. Foreign.

How does this connection happen? How do you guys meet?

Well, let me take it. I'll take you. Okay, so cool uh you know, one of my my early hit records that just popped off. I'm in New York. I'm just really moving around New York. DJ Clue. We had the club uh it's the club where the grass hanging from the ceiling from Greenhouse.

Greenhouse. Greenhouse. Yeah, man. All right. Peter Greenhouse. Yeah, that [ __ ] was dope. So I'm in the the grass in there. I'm smoking good. I'm drinking good. Um, I was I was brought in by DJ Clue. DJ Clue sending me buckets and buckets of Bel Air just like, yeah. Her Clue was down first, right?

Okay. Yeah. Go ahead. Right here. You know what I'm saying? So we in there, we smoking good, we balling, the chicks, it's one of those nights. Hit records. We moving. Boom. I go back to the hotel. I'm at the London Hotel. I wake up the next morning. I hit Clue. Hey, Clue, what was that? I was drinking. Oh, that was about there. I need some more of that right now, where I'm at, you know what I'm saying? I just want to sit early in the morning, breakfast vibe, just like vibe. Boom. We do that. I tell them I need more again, then he finally let me know, yo, you need to meet Brett. This [ __ ] super cool, my guy, you know what I mean? I'll be speaking with them. All right, make it happen. That was it. God damn it. And yeah, this is 14 years.

Wow. Because it's been around 14 years uh actually, no, it's 12 years because this is the first one, right? That you guys came out with the black bottle. And black bottle and I'm bouncing around a little bit, but it's just Deluxe.

Yeah, that's my favorite one. I got that. It's a little bit sweeter. A little bit got that next in my my crib. I got there right next to my um Opus One. So like that's what I I got it up there with Opus One. That's my favorite one.

Yeah, if you know you're gonna open one up there against Bel Air.

No, I'm saying, come on, good boy. Yeah, it's the bad lab, man. Hold on. Yeah, you didn't drink all that yet? Oh, that's why I [ __ ] eyebrows. I forgot. I forgot. I totally forgot. This Drink Champs. And just to keep it just to keep it real, I'm smooth with my drinking, but I may, you know, sip throughout the day. That's how Rosé do it. I'll start in the morning. I you know, hit me a blunt, you know, start my conversation, send me some Bel Air, you know, then, you know, throughout the day, little room temp. I like a room temp type of person. So if you Club, you need the big buckets and the sparkles. I'm room temp. Give me that [ __ ] room temp. And if it's one of these, you may get a real great conversation. Now I've been looking at your watch the whole night. I could tell that's an AP. I can't tell what kind of AP is that. Let me see. It's raw safe. What is that? Let's give it up for the emerald. That's what it is. Oh my God. Holy moly guacamole. Okay, boom. So we got we got we got the uh the Rosé. How do you move on? Why do you most most champagnes uh they don't do flavors? What made you want to do flavors? What made y'all want to show you?

Just we were the first ones in the champagne category. Brut is everyone's biggest. So the gold bottle of Ace is brut. No nectar is small. What does that mean? Brew? What does that mean?

It's a style. It's a moment. Sugars in there. Okay. So there's brut is how much sugar. So there's a certain amount of sugar you can't go over that you're no longer a brut. You fall into other categories, demisec or sec, but brut is 90 of the category. Okay. And then Rosé and then demisec and then Blanc de blancs, which is a white grape. And the smaller, we were the we decided I wanted to be different. I wanted to be known for Rosé, and we started with Rosé first, and it became the single biggest Rosé brand in the world, and then we came out with the traditional brut, which is this, and and uh traditional champagne, traditional colors. So a little bit dry, sweet, but uh but it's amazing. This brand now is the number one sparkling in the United States. Number one campaign. Hey, come on, guys. [Applause]

When you connected with him, that his name would be synonymous with the brand. Ah, Rosé. You know, spray some Creed in the air, you know what I mean? Um, did you think it would go that far?

No, no. And that's more me knowing Ross now. I get it, right? But no, you never know. You never know what you I think it's also just the way I am. It's walk before you run. We'll get there eventually, right? Um, but you know, brands take time to build. It doesn't happen overnight. Never will. Doesn't happen overnight. But it's so many rappers who had like champagnes and so many rappers who had uh entertainers period overall, like you know, you got um Mark Wahlberg. I think he just uh dropped the tequila. You got uh all these people. What made you want to be in an entertainment business where the difference?

Well, I'd say the problem is 99 of those guys, the brands don't work. The brands don't want to work what they because they're not in the business. I'm I'm not in the entertainment business. I'm not in the music business. I'm in the liquor business. That's all I know, right? And uh whether it's Jay or whether it's Rick or whether it's Post or whether it's Khalid um if they if if we can find a mutual relationship that works for all of us because they love the brands, right? I want to do something. And one thing I I I I is is different about you is I feel like you've given them ownership. Is that correct? Or that's what I want. That's the relationship. It's it's so many people who come and come into the culture, they use the culture, and then they don't even give the coaches nothing. So the fact that you know you you're making people partners and you're making people owners, that's I think that's something that should be really really.

I take it further where it, you know, for example, in Africa right now uh Ross reached out because of us and because these two artists, one artist uh Choco in uh in uh there's a Cameroon I think. So okay. Um, he's got a song that's blowing up. He put Bel Air as the hook. It's amazing. We reached out and said, I'm gonna you've done us a solid. I gotta support you now. So Ross, he's Ross did on Instagram Live. They're all it's what he was doing is he reached out to his city and basically put a certain amount of money on a table just to you know, do something in the city, and we just upped that multiplier, put 10,000 additional dollars in an Instagram challenge. The song's going crazy. And there's another group, Navy Kenzo, out of uh Tanzania. Again, they they made Bel Air part of their it's their brand. So what did we do? We went after them and supported the hell out of them. And I think most people do the opposite. They run away. Yeah, like like yeah, you don't see too many champagne. And I want I want to really networking and build relationships and and ultimately shine artists. Yeah. And I said that when I was there last year like, yo, and I built a connection with with several artists that we actually dealing with. They have a huge market, a huge scene, great artists over there. Oh, and Afrobeats is you know, it's huge to me. What we don't recognize enough is their style. Yeah, the fashion over in Africa. I went to fashion shows over, and when I tell you that [ __ ] was Next Level, I'm talking about it's a lot of vibe that we gotta pay yeah tribute and networking, you know, like I said, we most definitely extended our arms and the first, you know, everybody who's catching that attention, send it our way, straight up, yo.

So um recently uh you made headlines for buying Meek Mill's house, right? Cash is the set. Yeah. What the [ __ ] does that mean? Is this man with a million though? Yeah. What it means is um it's basically paid in full. Okay, right? Then so was he was selling his house, right? Right, right. It was something that uh Meek had posted online. Okay. You know, like he had post you know, put it up for sale. [ __ ] was moving slow, and I was just so just on some homie [ __ ] he's like, let me get that off the market for you for no reason. You either give it a Come on. I'll make sure I'll make sure I'm gonna make sure I got your real phone number again because I definitely need it. Yeah. Make sure make sure you have my contact. For everybody that's watching uh this is no reference to that that's me, Meek Mill, my family, but if you out there watching, look, and you about to face foreclosure, reach out to me please. Um, you you got to appreciate it. Dude does this all the time. I'll say something because living in Miami is always you hear rumors or whatever, and it was at one point it was a time where you was hearing, you know, Meek and Ross, it's beefing or whatever, and then I seen that picture or was it footage of y'all in the studio?

In the studio. That [ __ ] touched my heart because I can't stand when people are down together and then they start beefing with each other. I want people to I notice I know this like not realistic that people gonna stay together forever, but I like that. I like that. I like to see Wu-Tang together forever. I like to see you know, Outkast together forever. I like to see that. So yeah, forever. I want Maybach Music to always be together, right? So that's me. Like I'm I'm I'm an Insider that's outside. That's the inside. That's Outsider. But I liked it that. So what was that? Something that y'all planned out because I remember it wasn't just me. I see everyone in it, and then it was like, yes, them [ __ ] sitting together like I sent it. I seen everyone salute. Was that something you planned? Or that was something that was just?

Yeah, no. It was nothing that we we actually planned. It was most definitely something that just took place, right? You know what I'm saying? The love between Rosé, Meek Mill, as well as Gunplay, as well. Genuine. Yeah. And it'll it'll remain genuine forever. That by the way, one look at you face to face, man. A man that's some G [ __ ] bro. I really really appreciate because I obviously you're the CEO, so you have to be a little bit

More in control, so the fact that I don't know nothing, but the fact that I look from the outside looking in, the thing you, that you took control of that and made that right, whatever it was, or even if it wasn't, that's some real [ __ ] man. I'm telling you, bro, bro. I saluted that. I remember. I mean, it's time to take another shot. I mean, but give me um, give me the uh, um, they whiskey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So um, yeah, man, because I, I love [ __ ] like that, man. I really do want people to, to be like that, for you know what I mean, without a doubt. And um, it's beautiful. Like I remember, I remember Wale, when Wale was transitioning right before he got with you, and I remember just speaking to Wale, and and I remember after he got with you, he was a whole new artist. Like you made him a whole new, like a superstar, almost like he was, I don't want to say regular, but he was. And then he got with you, and then what? Because a lot of people say that artists can't be signed the artist, because artists don't want the other artists to shine. What makes you step, step behind him, let your artist shine? That's something that I really don't believe. I don't believe you just, just if you just in a room with small-minded individuals, that's what it is.

When we come sit at this table, I would love for us to be on a level to where we all grow to a point where you [ __ ] take off, where you inspire me, and I'm watching y'all from the back. I really don't, that ain't the type of party I want to be at. If I'm the only one getting paper, if we ain't all getting money in some form, shape, or capacity, let's explore. Let's make this [ __ ] so big to where you motivate me, you inspiring me. And when I got with Wale, I knew he was a superstar. I see the value. It ain't even about how much paper you got right now. It's, it's like me sitting at the table with Brett. This is the, he created Ace of Spades. He created, to say I was in questioning what a direction was. You understand? Once I sat down with him, and I saw he couldn't dress, and I knew, and I knew this what it was. I was like, you know what, it's real cool [ __ ].

[Applause] Thomas, you want to explain in the game? Yeah, we're giving you, oh, what's that called? What's this called? The Deacon? The Deacon. Hold on, hold on. I got something for you. Good. All right, here, the [ __ ], the Deacon is a scotch, and the Deacon literally means, if you're the Deacon in Scotland, it means you're Scottish. No, okay, but you're the best at what you do. If you're the best radio DJ, if you're the best mechanic, if you're the best barber, if you're the best Economist, you're the Deacon. It's a title given. So if you're the Deacon, you get this. Okay, go ahead and put those on, Nori. Yeah, if you're gonna drink, Zone, come on. Yeah, I am. I'm playing quick time with these on. Go ahead, let's go.

[Applause] I don't know if I got drunker or higher. No, okay. Yeah, I'm gonna have to take a hit of the hookah or something. You feel me? There you go. All right, quick time with slime. Yeah, you guys get two choices. Okay, pick one. Nobody Drinks. Pick, say both or neither. We drinking. What you mean? Hold on, say that again. Two choices. Two choices. You know, we say this or this. Okay, you pick one of them, you answer it with one. Nobody's drinking. You say both or neither. We drinking both or neither. Yeah, we're taking a shot. Okay. All right, whatever that means. You ready? You ready? Okay, let's go with the first one. Jay-Z or Nas? Jay-Z. Okay. I know I kind of knew you was gonna say that. Kiss or Fab? Kiss. Okay. Oh, I got it. Come on, it's Miami now. So, Ghetto Style DJs or Sugar Hill DJs? Take a shot. Look at that pause. All right, P, when you say Sugar Hill DJs, I don't know. I say, rip the DJ Uncle Loud. Yep, absolutely. My time for 15. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. When you say Ghetto Style DJs, that was me going into the Pack Jam, little teenage Club. Yeah, yeah. I actually want, they actually gave me one of the Pack Jam junkie teachers. Yeah, yeah. Real [ __ ]. That's real [ __ ]. Rose, they know that. Okay, that's that's Florida. It's too easy. Let's go. It's Pitbull or Flo Rida? Give me a shot.

[Applause] See, man, alive. Yeah, yeah. Cause I love them both, you know what I'm saying? Did you know what he was gonna say? If we was on the road, and either one of them got into a, a, a misunderstanding with anybody, I would jump on somebody here for him, without a doubt. I, I, I, I want to take this one. Go ahead. Rolex or Coco's? Oh, you changing that? Rolex. Yeah, you put, take one. It's Rolex, man. Real, this is the OG. Nah, but take one, take one. Okay, take one was most definitely, but Rolex, you could never question. Absolutely. No, no. It's the original. That's, that's, that's because you know, I've, I've been living out here 16 years, but when I used to come out here 20 years ago, that was the first time I was like, holy [ __ ], cause we didn't, we didn't go to strip clubs in New York. So when we went there, I was taking you to Showgirls Club. Rolex was The Next Level Club. Rolex, it wasn't even, it wasn't even about, you know, the hustle of throwing money in the club. It was dope boys that just stood in a parking lot in front of their Chevys that cost 250,000, tops down, letting them run, music beating, and just stood out there. You ain't know what was going on on your business, you just looked at the rims and just said, damn, dog. Yeah, yeah. Showgirls, uh, that was nice.

[Music] Everybody doing them. Oh, you okay? Okay, okay. You talking Coconut Grove, basically? No, no, no. The Coral Ridge, Coral Ridge, South Ridge area. Coral Ridge. We used to take them all the time. These chicks being there, tough as hell, they got guns on, too. You're like, sure, you stripping with a hammer? How does this work? I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing. Playing Tupac or DMX?

[Music] Rip the DMX. RP both. You gotta understand, and, and when I say these names and decide who I'm deciding, it's not about um, who the best MC is. I'm, it's just my personal, who impact. That's what we want to say, right? Yeah. And we'll be, you could be an artist that sold 20 million records, but that impact ain't hit me like a [ __ ] that was from Kissimmee, Florida, that only sold 75,000. So when I choose what I choose, if you understand me as an artist, you're, you know, I'm just trying to let y'all look, peek into that window. And we're giving these names and these people because we honor in all of them. We want to talk about, we want to bring them up. I love it. Trina or Eve? What train? That where my baby? You already know, man. No, Trina, most definitely. She changed the game when she said, baddest [ __ ]. She made a lot of these young [ __ ] tell their head up. So one time for Trina. I think you should ask this one. Scarface or Ice Cube? I'm gonna take a shot. That's difficult. I'm gonna take a shot. I'm gonna take a shot. Because what Q did on the West Coast, to me, Ice Cube was the West Coast MVP. MVP. That's who is writing easy raps. That's a major part of NWA. And then when he went solo, that [ __ ] was. Yep. You understand? But so what Q did, and as an entrepreneur, too, almost definitely. We already know. I ain't even speaking, way too, we ain't even talking about it. Big three, everything. It's like that. Shot. Give me another one for no reason, and let them know what we drinking now. Let's let them know now. You're drinking that, I'm drinking, I'm drinking them. You drinking the Deacon? I'm digging with the bubble. You drinking the Deacon? I'm drinking the McQueen with the ultraviolet, that purple. Okay, damn, that [ __ ] is creeping up on me. Get ready, because you remember what happened last time? You [ __ ] wrong. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Laughter] Um, [Music] [Music] He was looking at me like, yo, did you perform that night? And I came back, I came back right back. Just be clear angles.

[Laughter] I will tell you what it was. I drink that whole day, then we, this is, this is the rules, um, soda, that we don't drink before the podcast. That's why he was lining me up. Do we take a celebratory shot? I said, yeah. This [ __ ] come play is lining me up. So we don't drink before the podcast, we drink right on it. So all right. Yeah, but go ahead, go to the next one. Oh, that's that's y'all [ __ ] uh, Outkast, UGK?

[Music] Oh, man, without a doubt, I'm gonna be happy to take a shot, but you gotta understand, when you say Outkast, UGK, UGK comes to my heart first. Okay, that's without a question. You understand? So with me, naturally, UGK comes in my heart first, right? R.I.P. to Pimp C, Bun B. One time for Trill Burgers. If you never had a [ __ ] Trill cheeseburger, and you know what Pimp, Pimp was, when you go to my Ig page, if it's not my very first, it's my second picture I ever posted a left poster, it's with me and Pimp C. Wow. I understand. So you know what that is. And what Outkast did for the South creatively was never done before. Dungeon Family, the whole crew. I'm just taking a shot for that. No, no. I thought you picked. He said, he said, no. I said, I said both, without a doubt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I made it clear. Okay. Not that Rose won't answer this [ __ ]. Right, right. No, no hard pimps, you know, but I'ma take a, a shot for the, the big homies. Hey, you want to ask this one? Meek Mill, Wale. Yo, what's going on over here? When you, when you say, when you say Meek Mill and Wale, it's not even that it's a comparison. Wale came right in, he was released first, he released his album first, you understand? Meek Mill, I saw, I saw that they both was geniuses. All right, they both, while they come in and write a [ __ ] song or write a [ __ ] hook about her passion, and you ask him what's going on in here, to say it's my girl right now, and then he come back with a [ __ ] Lotus Flower Bomb. Yeah, you're saying that again.

[Music] Without a doubt, they both, you know, and they just see them both grow, and just for me to be a young CEO, of course, already [ __ ] with my brother's gonna play. Yeah, you know [ __ ]. Yeah, my [ __ ] before we even started. So it wasn't about me even being a CEO, but going out and signing Wale, signing Meek, and watching what they both, it felt good because I just knew, you know, I was correct on what I seen. What did you see in both? I saw that they both was geniuses. I saw that they both was dope as [ __ ], [ __ ]. That when you come into the studio with me, [ __ ] how good your shoes are, [ __ ] all that [ __ ]. I want to know if you dope. I want to know if you really are awesome. I wanna really know if you could see this picture and paint this [ __ ] picture like a Basquiat that we can hang on the wall forever. What do you see? What's the, what's in, what is Gunplay, Wale, me, what do they all have in common? Gunplay, hat, where he seen what I was when he was 13. He seen the vision right then. Whatever you with, big homie, I'm with, I, I'm with you too, bro. Make some noise for that man. Plays the truth, man. We love girls, now we love God. Yeah, yeah. It don't get, it don't get no, really, didn't come. Yeah, I wouldn't even expect nobody to, to give me that feeling. And so me being an artist that became, you know, the biggest artist that MTV name this, this person, name this, 2011, 2012. Um, I had at one point a dozen booking dates on top of dates that they couldn't even get, you know what I mean? So um, just to see the vision that I have for Wale and Meek, and you know, we painted those pictures, and not only that, we went out and executed enough. So to me, that's what meant the most, not just [ __ ] any, whatever, anything else. It was us being an artist, we had a vision, let's go out and accomplish that, let's go out there and show these [ __ ] we, we dope. And the pictures that Wale painted, they know you can't, you can't duplicate those, you can't photocopy those. Energy that Meek creates when he in those stadiums, you can't photocopy. Yeah, you can't fake that [ __ ]. Don't even wasting your energy. Is real, major or independent? Major. Look at you, you high right now.

[Applause] Yeah, Rose, want to go straight to the big money? Save all those deep words and all of that, all of that [ __ ] that we gonna do in nine years. Give it to me now. You know, finally someone, exactly. You get one out of ten. Don't waste your time, yo. Let's give a shot at Deacon. It's time to take a shot. Damn it. Oh, you got the next one? What you taking? What we taking? Let's go. Let's go. One time for Crazy Hood for life. Say this, and let me, let me say this and make it clear. Crazy Hood is highly respected. Yes, my dog been repping this forever. Yeah. So Crazy Hood, Rose, salute you. You did, appreciate anybody else that's coming into the city, make sure you, when you see that Crazy Hood [ __ ], you respect it, cause it ain't nothing but love, and it ain't number G's. What's the next one? Next one. Okay, okay. Oh yeah, 8Ball & MJG or Goodie Mob? Hey, 8Ball & MJG. Yeah. Okay, Uncle Luke or Tony Draper? Um, you gotta realize what Uncle Luke did for me as I was in elementary school. When I first saw Uncle Luke, and I read the back of his records, I went and bought. All right, I saw that where he was manufacturing at. I actually looked at the address that was on the back of the vinyl, on the back of the vinyl. He was in the back of the Pack Jam with a G. Yeah, he said 2 Live Crew. Yeah, you know if it's real or not. Yeah, 100. Marquis, Mr. Mix. All right, Peter, our brother. Yeah, you already know who it is. And Fresh Garage. Yeah, yeah, Fresh, Good Ice. And so I'm, I bought the vinyl from Blue Note Records. Yeah, on the side. Yep. Yeah, that's that's what we all went to by representing. If somebody don't know this [ __ ] real, this way, I didn't even think that he would have gone to Blue Note record. That's real life. Yeah, yeah. You catch the 83. Yeah, yeah. And then you go to the mall, hang out all day, get on the bus to 83, all the way down, you get off at 163rd Street, then you go to Blue Note Records. I bought it, Luke Records, right on the back, and let you know where they was manufacturing in Miami. Yeah, you could drive there. Like for us out here, it was attainable. You know, I didn't know that. What, so, so at that early age, I was in the fifth grade, going in a middle school, that let me know right then that, I look what I'm looking at and love so much and listen to so much, I could do this. Wow. And not only that, this is coming from my city, uh, I didn't know where that address was at, but I knew this was my city because it said, second half some [ __ ] Miami, Florida. Right. That's all I needed, and that gave me that inspiration. Once again, I was somebody that may not learn the best if you sitting in front of a green board telling me a equals X, pre-algebra, I'm totally lost. I have no understanding of what the [ __ ] you talking about, [ __ ]. But if you give me something I could touch and look at, right, yo, I felt it. So what Luke Records did for me, nobody could really come compete with. And Tony Draper has something to do with you though, but later on. Yeah, Tony Draper was the first one that put a bag on Rose. Wow. Yeah, Suave House. I went to Atlanta one time for Big Block, one time for DJ Greg Street. Right. Yeah, always text, very extreme, talking [ __ ] because I love him, right? So Greg Street, I love you [ __ ], H, but I always talk [ __ ] to him, because when I went to Atlanta, I told him, yo [ __ ], I got balls versus for days. I just need to link up with Tony Draper. I want to [ __ ] with Suave House. I love 8Ball & MJG. Yeah, majority of my family, for my mama's side of family from Mississippi, Memphis, right there. My Father's Side from Florida. So I saw when 8Ball & MJG and that sound, that soft melodic sound. So when you hear Maybach Music, you know that was a lot of motivation. What, what, what, what tea, makes the producer was doing for 8Ball & MJG. And so, so I shout out the producers, and they, this is something I heard over 30 years ago, and he's the names that I'll never forget, right? It's the time that I spent in my little room listening to this, I'll never forget these names. God damn, man, that's crazy.

[Applause] Let's take another shot. Yeah, yeah. At least you're not skipping records, you're not skipping wreck. Okay, yeah. It's at the end of the day, regardless of what I got going on, I love being busy. Right, right. I love being busy, you know, but, but hip-hop and music is my motivation. If it's anything that circulates or orbits around hip-hop, I genuinely love it and [ __ ] with it. Yep. So when I sit on Bel Air, when I sit on McQueen, yes, or if we taking Deacon shots, yes, that's genuine. Yes, that's before I met Brett, that's before Luke, Bel Air, that's me being a young [ __ ] coming up in Cary City. Then when we first began going on Washington Ave, right? Club Level, before it was Level with Prince. Yeah, Grand Slam. I wasn't around there. Yeah, that was Grand Slam for the [ __ ] that don't, and he had, he had the sign, it was the sign on the [ __ ] side. I'm talking about the legend Prince. We went out on the beach, and it was [ __ ] Prince that owned it. And when we went to the club, and when I saw certain bottles come into certain sections, I'm just like, what is that now? And I just remember they was like, that's Rose, um, and I just knew right then, [ __ ], I'm Ricky Rose.

[Applause] That's just, once again, you know, me coming up in Miami, we partied a little different. We, I wanted to go out every night if I could, and you could. So when I was in school, I'm in high school, going to the Pack Jam, going to the Carver Center, going to the wash. Yeah, y'all do these [ __ ] don't even know what they're called. Young boys that was over there, you know, over there by New Orleans, by New Orleans, that was the walk. You upset. So we was in school, we began pulling out when we was in the 10th and 11th grade. So once, you know, once we got a little paper, it was on the property. We wanted to go where, wherever it was partying at. So this is something that was really a part of my lifestyle. So me meeting Brett, it was already going down before I met Brett. I [ __ ] with these black bottles. I had them started putting it in the wraps. It was pretty before. Yeah, right. Just because they was different. Oh man, they black bottles. Oh, this [ __ ] is dope. I, I want this [ __ ] everywhere, every, and I put it on my, right at my shows. Why, yo, if you want me to do a show at your Club, at your venues, you gotta have black bottles. I never had Black Bottle Boy jackets and everything. Yeah, I got a jacket. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's time for you to wear your jacket, by the way. He's been trying to recoup me the whole night. He's doing something, man. I've been having so much fun. I guess you could.

Ask this one: Fat Joe or French Montana? Oh man, um, I'm gonna take a shot. And the reason I'm gonna take a shot is usually with me, it's never a question when I get money. With you, that comes first. You know me and French, you know I executive produced his first album. I watched him hustle from when he was just coming from the mud, when he was doing DVDs. I just saw he had a passion and a drive, right? I take your drive over your talent any day. Because if you're a [ __ ] who's talented, you could be a [ __ ] that's lazy. Lazy don't do [ __ ], right? So if you gotta drive, I'll take that over somebody that's lazy, regardless, because the talent will catch up. You understand? So when I went out, when I met, when I met French, I met Joe early. Joe been coming to Miami for years, forever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, coming to Wynwood. Yeah, yeah. You've been coming to Miami for years, and he always been solid with young [ __ ]. Yeah, before he even knew my name, I was running in the joke level, crave all that [ __ ], you know what I'm saying? So and he always kept it solid. That's why [ __ ] it's whatever for Joe and French. When I met French, [ __ ] was a young [ __ ], just in the mud, you know, before he had any records. I just saw him moving around, right? And then for me, if I see you city to city, I look at you different. I know what you're capable of when you're really getting some paper. [Music] If you're somebody I bump into in different markets, I know what you're capable of doing when you're really getting some money. Take a shot to that. Yeah, we're gonna take a shot. And what we taking this shot? This is—I'm doing—I forgot, baby, you're a superstar. I want to take a shot. My next shot would be Deacon, but this shot right here is what [Laughter] Okay, oh [ __ ] yeah, yeah. You want that one? Bella Rose or Bel Air Blue? Both of y'all, I'ma say Bella Rose. That's the OG, I'mma stand on it. This what I was introduced to, right? And when I'm introduced to something, my loyalty and my commitment is priceless. So even though I've been in a Vibe for maybe the last six months with the deluxe, the white box, for the last six months, that's been my swag, but nothing to never come before the roasted, the original. I'm gonna take a shot, even though he picked it. Hold on, let me stop. I got the next one. Okay, um, oh, I like this one: Wayne or Drake? Obviously Lil Wayne.

Yeah, yeah, that's not even a question. That's Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne, 'cause Lil Wayne comes before, right? Right. Yeah, that's that's Wheezy, that was that squeezing, and for a lot of different reasons, right? You know what I'm saying? What he did for the South, right? Not just myself, the inspiration that he also gave Rose was next level. But what he did for the game, what he did for the South, he showed, you know, Southern artists how to set a certain pace and how you could do things [ __ ] all that every three-year [ __ ], right? Wayne was one of the first ones that really put that on a plate and put that on the table, right in front of you, eat it. You know what I'm saying? Straight up, that's real. And me and Drizzy, our relationship most definitely is real close. You know I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you, it's like—You and Drake got an album together? Yeah. I'm gonna be honest, I, I don't know how much music we got, right? Because it's so easy working with the homie. It's not a lot. I'm gonna be honest, we're in the two percentile when they come to writers and creators. It's called the two percentile. The two percentile. Yeah, listen, if you, if you're not ready for this, that's the album. That's the album. Walk out of the Moon. [Applause] But the two percent child is when you walk into the room, you hear something, a beat or a production that actually you actually love it, can actually create it, think of it, create it, write it, and execute it right there, right then. I can't say I've done that with many artists. It's not even five artists. Oh, so you're saying Drake and you, that inspires y'all to do it that way? He's, he's in the two percent. He is the two brothers. He's the Muse. He's in the two percentile. Drake is in the two percent, and me being in the game over 20 years, it may be the [ __ ] is going on. Oh [ __ ], that's Nori. No, you got it. You got a reference. [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] Back to QuickTime or slime, but it's very few people that, I mean, you know the majority of the game, and I'm gonna be honest, I understand when you're working with Rose, you don't want that type of pressure on you, right? You come to the studio with me, it's very few people that's very, that's comfortable enough to listen to a beat, take my direction from it, and create something together in that moment, record it right then and stand on it, right? No going back. Wayne could do that too. Wayne does that. What does that drink though? That who else? Jay-Z. Jay-Z. Okay, Jay-Z and uh, and the reason I, I take my, my hat off the whole, whole—You see me, that's my guy. Cove, I felt you [ __ ], you did it. I got it from God, dead got it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was uh, Freemason. Freemason. We was at um, what's the Knicks home Garden by Madison Square Garden, right? [Laughter] [Applause] Now foreign. [Applause] And so I went to the, the tour, we backstage, it may be 20 minutes before he go on to perform. You know this, this is the greatest [ __ ] in the game, you know this. Yeah. I wanna run this Rose, this one, I'm, you know [ __ ], I'm still [ __ ] halfway broke [ __ ], I want it, you know I, you know I want that motivation. So I went backstage right before you going on stage, big homie, let me play you, disappear. I'm expecting him to tell me not right now, it's not the time. [Music] You know what the average [ __ ] say? That's kind of disrespectful. Not right now, I'm on the tour, I got something to do right now, right? I'm busy. And he did. I did. I, I tried him straight up. Yeah, this Rose, you got to realize this Rose, this right now, we, we the biggest in the game. I'm backstage hoping to go on stage at what's the name of the tour, uh, the tour, I'm the stadium. Oh, you talking about Madison Square Garden? The biggest stadium? This biggest arena in the world, are we talking about that? Yes. Calm down, Janelle, calm down. Yeah, so yeah, so yeah, it's 20 minutes right before the homie going straight up, wow. So I play Freemason, my, my versus innovate in the beat from Freemason. He, he land up, he leaning against the wall right before he finna go on stage. I play it for him, um, and he just was game rapping right there because he's, he does it in his ass, in his head, and what he's saying is pertaining directly to what be talking about. So if you don't know what I'm talking about, you go to Google whatever you listen to, and it's called Freemason. Yeah, so Hoven is the most definitely one of the two percent of them. That's what we're speaking of, people that could create right then, right? And I understand artists that take the beat with them and Vibe with it, and it's no problem. T-Zone, it's about, it's a business to survive. But when I say somebody that could come right then, and French Montana, he one of those [ __ ], he a party [ __ ] with me. I won't say what we call each other in certain kind of when we in the zone, you know what I'm saying? But he's somebody that will create records all night if you win that with them, you know I'm saying? On the spot, gun play, spot, right then, it's gonna play right then. Yeah, okay. Yeah. T-Pain or Akon? Like the next four is you, that's all Florida. T-Pain and Akon. T-Pain. I'm gonna say T-Pain. That's Florida, and we salute Akon for putting absolutely T-Pain, nappy boy, platform, the shine. Because a lot of times, we know T-Pain, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of the youngsters may not remember the effect Akon had on the game, right? No, he huge effects. Yeah, convict [ __ ] was in front of every song at one time. Yeah, yeah. And when I say convict [ __ ], I'm just saying convict me, that [ __ ] at one time was in front of [ __ ], and I remember me and T-Pain being in the studio, and he told me he had 30 records in rotation at one time. Records he would own a record, that was his, the whole nine yards, 30. That [ __ ] was real. You gonna hook that, you're gonna hit that hookah. Um, you can have some caffeine teams. This is all you, um, calendar drama. We have, we know where this is going. Cali, that's my brother, right? Yeah, I like yeah, silver commercial together. You know what it was real when I said uh, I was talking about the peanuts and almonds, I didn't know if they squeezed the almond and the milk came. Oh yeah, listen, I'm from Carol City. You ate cereal, you drank milk, whatever milk was available, dairy milk, you was happy. [Laughter] Is it gonna be Luke Belair milk? [Laughter] [Music] Cool, Andre or the runners? That was cool Dre. And when I say these names, listen, and when I, it's nobody that could come between me and cool and Drake. Yeah, yeah. You're my dogs. I remember when Dre had the Expedition with three Daytons on it. Yeah, there was an R&B group at one point, it was, they had three Daytons on it, one of the [ __ ] went flat. My dog ever guess what? My dog, because he [ __ ]. Oh, no, no. Heavyweight. Heavyweight. And not only that, my dog seen my vision in Rose. Yes, he seen the vision in Khaled when Cali was a DJ, saying I'm finna be an artist. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So when people see that vision in you early, you know you gotta genuinely [ __ ] with them. You know what I'm saying? So when I sat there like, yo, when I sat there with Brett, Brett, this is the idea I got. You know what I mean? And I remember it was particular all this [ __ ] that was coming out then, that was [ __ ] was flopping, [ __ ] was failing, and I'm like, yo, this what I see for this. He was just like, yo, straight up and down. Not only that, when um, I went through a health situation, I was unconscious for two or three days. When I came out, it was my mama right there, Brett was sitting right next to him. Guess what? When I was in the trial situation, when I was out on bond, I was going through a criminal situation. I ain't say, homie, come to my trial. I got trial tomorrow, come there. I looked up, I looked back, guess who was sitting in there every day for my trial? Parish. So guess what I did today? Hey, do me a favor and give my dog, show my homie, break this. So when I was in the hospital, that right there, right there, I was in the hospital, I was unconscious for two days. When I came back on the third day, I came out, this was the first day I was out, I was here. [Applause] Yeah, yeah. I love it. We actually was that, we actually was at Circle House Studios, a coma on my third day. And when I left, I said I woke up out of the coma, I said it's so much unfinished business I got, I want to do it now. I popped half of that [ __ ] off me in the hospital, and I told everybody that I wanted to see, which was very few, meet me at Circle House Studios. Shout out, baby. That was Brett, that was Sam Sneak, that was all my homies, gum play, that was us. We sitting right by the pool right there in that photo, and I was like, yo, if I [ __ ] died, I wouldn't been able to put my [ __ ] album up. So one time for the team. [Music] [Applause] Good week. I just want to say wow, that was, that was ill. But that moment changed me because it made me realize when bad [ __ ] happens to people, who shows up? Who's there? Who's there for you? My homie was there. No, but it just, it made me look around. I'm just keeping it real. Yep. You know my dogs. One time for E-Class. Yeah, they told me they was sitting down in there, they were sitting down in there. You know what I'm saying? Just my mama, like they still down there, they've been down there for the last two days, in Brett right there. You know what I'm saying? So and that, that's just, that's the homie. You gotta all realize who, when bad [ __ ] happens, who's gonna show up. That's what life's about. That's what life's about. That's—we should keep it. You gotta make some noise for that foreign. [Applause] [Applause] We've come a long way. Yes. Maybe y'all know, Drink Champs wants to give flowers while people are here to receive them.

Foreign. Okay, whoever thought you two [ __ ] would make it this far? [Applause] Yeah, I'm gonna come back to that question answered. No, you know, you know what's crazy? Me and EFN's relationship is just an organic thing, like um, because you know I don't understand it ain't cutting you off, EFN, that's a, that's a [ __ ] name I've been hearing for. Yeah, I'm talking about because we had mixtapes, we had underground radio, we had, and we know what it meant, all right? But I'm just telling you, for mixtapes, what EFN did, it couldn't be matched. What, college, some hip-hop [ __ ]? You know what I'm saying? What was it, the College radio that y'all had? You, you uh, Carla had one, you hit me, underground radio, I was on one, one pirate radio station, and and Mix 96 was the the floor above us. I would fly down and just come straight to see him and just go do a freestyle. I just wanted, I just wanted—You came to my story, my story about the rest of the world. I was like, this was a, a, it was a great move, right? For one, right? Based in Miami, born in Miami, born in Miami. I'm born and raised in New York. No, no, no, born in Miami.

Another thing, Poison Clan babies were like crew. No, no. Poison Clan is baby 2 Live Crew. Poison Clan is from Miami. Yeah. JT Money is from Miami. Yep. JT Money is from Miami. What, what 2 Live Crew hit me first? 2 Live Crew as Luke Skywalker or the whole Luke Records? I respect it, but I'm gonna tell you, before you even said it, nothing comes between Rose and Poison, JT Money, Poison Clan right there. I remember seeing them boys. I remember walking through the flea market when JT Money was getting his Poison Clan piece made when I was in the ninth, 10th grade. I used to go there and just stand there looking through the glass for 10 minutes, like damn. Yeah. Poison Clan was something. Poison Clan, that touched me. I told you it was like the NWA of Miami. Yeah. That's the way I felt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's without you already know who the bosses is, you know who the executive producers [ __ ] them. Let's, let's show that love to the artist. Yeah, let's go directly to them. And that was just me, the way I embraced JT Money. And when that could come between—Shut up, man. We had JP. Yeah, and it was amazing. Yeah. Um, because he's also asking him about the album, you, JT Money, Trick Daddy, if that would ever happen. I'm gonna be honest, man, if it was something that we really said they wanted to do, Rose would do it. Um, when it come to Rose, you know I just, I'm gonna go. Yeah, yeah. Before I stop some, before I hit brakes on something, I'm gonna hit the gas on it. What I'm saying? That's just the way I go. I'd rather stay busy than us [ __ ] chill for three months. I, I ain't with that. If y'all want to take a break for three months, I, I, hey, man, hit me when y'all don't go, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we got, I, I want to stay moving. And not because it's, it's because it's something we got to do, it's something we want to do, it's something we love to do. Everything we doing is because we love it, right? Yeah. We [ __ ] with it. Yeah. We love this. NWA or Wu-Tang Clan? NWA. Yeah. If I could, you, you got to respect it. Yeah. What NWA did, of course, the effect they had. Yep. And you got to remember um, about it when Wu-Tang hit me, we, I was a senior in high school. Wow. That Wu-Tang [ __ ] was putting Wu-Tang lyrics in my scene. Did you go to the first show out here in Mahi Temple? Of course not. [Laughter] Don't get it [ __ ] up. Don't take me, taking you know the other homies over there. Don't get it [ __ ] up.

I might have to create a lemon pepper burger. I drink the McQueen. [Music] Dead Presidents. Public Enemy. I'ma say Public Enemy, but don't get it [ __ ] up. Dead Prez spent a lot of time and depressed Florida, they live in Florida. That's what I'm trying to tell you. They spend a lot of time in the hood in Florida. And not only that, they, they hip-hop records to me was the, the closest you could get to a Public Enemy for that timeframe, right? Right. You know what I'm saying? So salute Dead Prez, I love them boys. Um, and what Chuck D in Public Enemies? No, that's a mess. Fight the Power. Can't, don't, don't ever play yourself going against that, right? I don't know, you're only playing yourself. Pay homage to them and be respected. When somebody puts you behind with Chuck D did Public Enemy, Fight the Power, Flavor Flav. It's an icon, if you don't know, and you just seen them on the hip-hop shows, don't play yourself. That's Flavor Flav from Public Enemy. Stop. Professor Griff, who came to Luke Records after Nick. I bought Professor Griff albums. [Music] I [ __ ] with Public Enemy that hard, that if you was one of the militants. [Laughter] Yo, if you was doing that, I'll go buy your [ __ ]. Tell them he was a straight-up student in the game. No, absolutely. Go back to the producer one, but I want to ask you because this is a two-part question. The question is Styles P or Pusha T, right? But the rumor is Thrift TV, I believe, told me this, that the record BMF, you, he sent the Styles by mistake. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, they both said, I think Style said that, I don't know who we're really—inside information. I think, I think Smith got to realize, you gotta understand, when—

It come to my records, Sam sneak and spiff, yeah. Since I came in the game, was the only ones. If you ever got a record from Rose, was sent it to you right. Fifth is most definitely somebody that'll [ __ ] up and sensation, so you gotta, you gotta know like, yo, it's just we in the studio, we vibing, we catching Vibes, you know what I'm saying? And you got to realize I love the hip-hop game so much that when I knew I was gonna send [ __ ] BMF to Jay-Z, and you know we sent it to Styles P by myself. No, no, it ain't even a mistake, I just felt that's what it was meant to be. Oh wow, sent that verse, killed it. Let's, let's mix it, let's run it, because you know this for the streets, you know what I'm saying? It's a stink, you agree?

Yeah, yeah. I've never seen a record, I've never had an email that's just for anybody that's watching. If you ever thought you sent me an email, stop TV. [Laughter] [Laughter] But if you're talking right now, yeah, hey. [Laughter] So all this time I'm talking to you, opportunity. Oh damn, you just jumped. I'm gonna take a shot. Okay, then I'm gonna take a shot. Is because when I'm looking for a certain feeling, they both give me the feeling I want. Um, I love that, and for me, I'm so deep into the hip-hop game, it ain't been about your raps, it's the feeling, right? I felt when I was younger, it was about your Raps. Like if I sent you a feature and you sent it back to me, let me listen to what he said, right? No, now it's the feeling that I get, and when it comes to that feeling, Styles P and push T both give me that feeling like that. So I look, so look y'all, um, let's finish up this quick time, so we got, because I got a couple of questions.

DJ Clue, of Funk Flex, you skipped a couple. Yeah, you could skip a couple, ain't nothing wrong. I'm gonna say Clue, because me and Clue, we on the phone all the time. We on the phone, yeah, we on the phone, we on the phone, you know, early in the morning, late night, me and Clue just on the phone. We understand what, let, I mean Flex, what he, what he meant to the coach, me coming into the game, it was all about getting a freestyle on, on Flex show in New York. It was efn, it was Flex. When you, you know what I'm saying? And when you were a young [ __ ], you don't know a lot of [ __ ], you don't know DJ, you don't really want a list of, you just not want to know who the go-to guy, right? And for New York, Flexors to go to guy. So Pharrell. Oh yeah, yeah, who Pharrell or Kanye? Pharrell, Kanye. I spent time with both of the homies. [Music] And I feel we, we created greatness on both sides. Um, so without a doubt, I'm gonna take a shot of deacon. Holy moly guacamole, about to take a piss of bamboo. Okay, well, where's she at? Oh, she's at the bar. Um, you got the next one? Yeah, yeah. DJ Lazer, DJ Irie, last been. You gotta understand I've been hearing last names since the [ __ ] may have been in third grade. No, all of us, first time I saw a DJ, I think it was Hot Wheels. So, so, so if Irie was here, he would say DJ, yeah, imma just keep it real, that's one of those situations. Last been one of those names, yeah, that was on Power 96 forever. I was in elementary, I was in elementary school, I'm just telling you. So he's a legend in me. So about all of us, yeah. So if I ran in the DJ last anywhere, he get Five Star Treatment from Roses. Yeah, beautiful. Yeah, yeah, without a doubt. I remember when he had that Lexus two-door, two. Yeah, he had the Lexus two though. What was the name of that club off 95 in Hollandale? Simplest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I went, I went, I went to syphilis, and he was out there leaving on the elections. [Applause] Zippers and Scarlets now, but it was, it was zippers, he was in his two-door, cool. Yeah, and I was like, boy, I'm proud of you boy, God damn, you get into the money. Yeah, and I'm gonna tell you, if you didn't know, last was kid money, that [ __ ], he has a cool following, that [ __ ] was good, and I ain't know if anybody else knew, but Rose knew. No, like DJ Magic Mike out of Florida too, like out of Florida, they got a cult following, they crazy. He was selling records. Yeah, yeah, last was getting money for real. Yeah, yeah. I thought New York [ __ ] is proud, y'all Miami [ __ ]. All right. [Applause] You got it, you got it, you guys won, in case you don't know. [Laughter] That story telling [ __ ] tasty, Queen. I'll tell you one dude, let me tell you something, I think Miami every day, Miami embraced me, they took me in at a time where I needed to be taken in, all parts of Miami too, all parks. I've lived in Aventura, Kendall, that's Henry park, downtown, that was the worst part of my life with 80 gigs and Smith TV s [ __ ] was out of control. [Laughter] They was my roommates. I said I was by myself, I had just came down here, I was like, I looked, I had spiff TV and a [ __ ] named Eddie the ass eater, you know. Yeah, man, it was, it was, it was hands down the worst time of my life. I will go to what's, you know what club I would go do Club? No, no, no, yeah, it was crazy. That's my next question. We made a lot of money. Sobe live or Mansion? Yes, that is a tough one, actually, that's actually a tough question. Let me tell you why, and I'm gonna tell you why it's a tough one. Sobe live was the small personal parties, right? That was so, no, no, I'm gonna tell you that's something, no, no. Sobe live was when it was small and personal, it was some Next Level, that was that [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ], you know what I'm saying? Mansion was where you would run into everybody you know, that's where all the celebs, the heavyweights, the biggest artists in the game, the biggest actors as well, actresses, which was Grand Slam, that was Princess club, that became Mansion, right? That was slam, slam, that was Princess club, right? You know what I'm saying? But that was the club that all the celebs came to automatically when they came to the city, but Sobe live gave you a different feeling, if you were somebody that really party, yeah, children. So be like, so only hosted Mansions, that's what I'm trying to tell you, so that's, so be live hit you a little different, you know what I'm saying? I love Sophie live. Yeah, I tell you, I tell you what I've got one more before, no, you gotta, you can't skip that one. Okay, you could go back to it. No, no, but I'll tell you one, I remember when hustling finally like hit, right? And you had a, yeah, you had, you had a uh, that line in it, yeah. No, no, no, but you had a show at Mansion, right? And I went to see you because I had always heard Cypress Sounds playing the record, like for one time for cycle, yeah. He literally first DJ in New York that really hit him like, yo, yo, that was the first time I heard you, um, and Cypher kept playing, and I was like, damn, and he was like, is he talking about you? I said, I actually think he talking about the real Noriega, he says the real number. I was like a cipher, I think that's an oxymoron, like I think he's talking about the real, but, but I have like, I said actually, but I'm gonna tell you something, let me just tell you something, I went to see you, I went to see you in club Mansion, and I remember this [ __ ] like it was yesterday, because I had, I had, I didn't, I hadn't met you, so I did meet you before in the Lowe's hotel with E-class, I was, I was doing reggae Throne at the time, it was a light meeting, but this is, this is you becoming who you about to be, the boss, and you walked in, and this is what I feel like, I feel like this is when you became the boss, like to me in my mind, in my mind. [Laughter] All the cameras that's watching, I feel good, zoom in, I'm right, yeah, life story, I'll be out because I since trick, I didn't see Miami lit like, I didn't see a artist represent Miami like that, and when you walk through, you walk through with 40 dudes, and I walked through and I was like, holy [ __ ], and you said what's up OG, and we gave me five, and we got smacked up, but then you went on stage, and the way the city had your back, I knew you was gone, I said there's no, there's no coming back this guys cause I see it was like, it was like Miami sat around and waited for you, like, like Rakim rated for New York, see I'm not bullshitting you by the way, [ __ ] like this is real, I saw this as an outside of looking in, like I lived, like I said I live out here for 16 years now, so now I'm a Miami [ __ ] too, so, but when I saw that, I sent it, and when I seen you hit the stage, I said this is it, um, this is it, like this is it, and Miami has not been the same since, you should have changed, not sorry, I got to see it, I, I don't know, I don't think it was your first show, but it was like your first show after hustling, it went crazy. [Music] And that's what it was, yeah. You know, I, I shout out Noriega, but I was talking to Manuel Noriega, listen, Brett, can I say something? He called me, he hit me up because he knows I'm in Miami, he knows Ross been on the mixtape, Yo e, is he dissing me? I said, no, he's talking about Manuel, yeah, at all, and it wasn't a dish, it wasn't Manuel Noriega had just got shipped to the federal, yeah, and I had homies that was locked up, winning, yeah. Roseanne, what were people saying to you at one point? People was trying to paint that character, but like I said, the minute I met him, New York, he, you know, because New Yorkers, that's what we think, angry, we angry people, sorry man, but we, and I just remember, like I said, I remember me seeing you, going to see you, and I remember the respect you showed me, and I was like, damn, that's a real [ __ ] right there, because to show respect, it's just to happen, but that's just [ __ ] love. Yeah, and that's why I said it the way I said it. Yeah, and I heard it that way too. Yeah, me too, I did too. Yeah, and the homie had just came down there, and I had homies that was doing fast time that was on a flow, it was only two cells between them, yeah, and that was my way of showing them, because they knew who I was speaking, that's, but that's how specific, nobody else would know that though. No, they thought I was just rapping bars, you know how they say bars, second guess for two seconds. Yeah, yeah, because when, when people put it in your head, it's just you gotta think about it, but you gotta let it go, you know what I'm saying? You don't know if it's just bars, and like I said, me, me and him, me, me and Gunplay, y'all always accepted me, y'all always [ __ ] with Me, Sam sneakers, my [ __ ], like I used to go to the clubs, but he used to DJ at, and he's not even know, because I ain't wanting people to shout me out, because I ain't want to throw the money. [Laughter] And she changed, nah, not to me, I mean, that's, that's the same way they, the same people, that's what's most beautiful about you is your loyalty, it's me to sit here and as soon as we came here, I got a haircut, and the first person they said it said Gunplay's out there, hold on, you got a hair, yeah. [Music] About to get a haircut, and they like your gum come play out there, heart damn Jose still got conflict, and they said Gunplay out there with his kid, I said that's even iller, yeah, but that's even Italy, he got, oh okay, damn boom sassy, and I'm looking, I'm like this is the same crew, just the same people he's been with, Gunplay, that's why my [ __ ] like she's the same people I've been with, but Sam Smith, there's not a lot of people that do that, Rose. I'm just, let me, let me, let me pick you up, only DJ I ever had my whole career, that's a real one, I'm talking about since my first time seeing a rap on the stage, God damn, make some money. [Applause] To me, to me that's the best thing about you, man, is you keeping your loyalty, you're keeping the same people with you, and you keeping that a tight-knit circle, you know what I'm saying? Because you know me, I've been in this game 25 years, you know how many people I've seen come, go, get hot, think that it was ill, buy a [ __ ] Corvette, [ __ ] repo, you know what I mean? They thought they were Ellen at me like, oh, I mean, calm down, okay, and you know, and that's what I'm saying, you see people come and go, and then when even that you don't get to see people with a tight net, that's why I love Wu-Tang, like I really do, like I love seeing them, I love seeing them together, I love what they represent, and that goes for any, any, any, any brothers that come together with the train, right? That's what I love, the locks, yeah, regardless of who you is, where you from, I love to see it, that's what I want to see, it's nothing more valuable than that loyalty, straight up and down. So it's nothing more valuable than that, I love that. Yeah, this is the one that we say that is not a trick question, every other these questions somewhat trick question, this is the last one, to me it's not a trick question, loyalty or respect, so I'm gonna go ahead take a shot off top, you know me being a boss, I'm gonna ask what's the difference, me being a boss, I'm asked what's the difference, cause I'm a demand both, I want both, I'm a boss, I don't have to pick or choose, that's for a certain, that's that, that's for a certain category of demographic, when you talking to Rose, I don't have to choose, when you sitting at the table with a boss, it is what it is, and it's gonna be what it's gonna be, and it's gonna go the way I feel it should go, and which is best for us, all right? What, what's a boss? Somebody that want to make sure we all in the best position we all could ever be in. [Applause] I'm taking a shot for that, I don't even know if you picked what you drinking, I'm just, I'm just asking the vegan, I wanna, I've been, I've drank the DK, I'm drinking, I've drank the McQueen, I want to take one of the bamboos, yeah. It was amazing, the number one, you know, you know about it, if it's not coconut rum, it's just no, it's not, it has that flavor, no coconut, none, none. Wow, yeah, number one, number one premium rum in the world. Hey guys, I want to ask you what's her name, Jamie, let's give her around, thank you. He's not only the only emails that nobody must have, we was glad to jump, I want to use the restroom, and no, I'm not gonna walk off. [Music] I promise you, girl told me never do it again, I'm good, you're good, you're good, because I definitely had to use it a second, that's straight back there. Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, bro, yeah, we just keep talking bruh. No, no, what you doing, man? Don't switch it out. Oh okay, so are you, are you having fun? I love it. I have a question for you guys. Okay, please. Okay guys, let's go, I'm ready. With Drink Champs would have worked in New York? No, I mean, I can't, yeah, it would have worked in New York, but it's easier to work with people in Miami, because you're off, if you take your guard down in Miami, why? Because palm trees, beautiful women, they just, well, I think for me is that since it was born here in Miami, I don't, I don't have any idea of it being anywhere else. I mean, we've recorded it, oh no, we traveled tons of episodes in New York, but the birthplace of it is here, because I mean, I learned something about that doing albums out here, like when I was out here doing albums. Oh okay, it would be so easier for me to get an artist to come to the studio out here as opposed to New York. New York, we all busy, but out here it's like, oh okay, cool, I got weed at the studio, I got such a social Studio, you got this, come through, and it's an artist, they tend to be easier to work with because they want to be in Miami anyway. It's the same reason why I was saying let loose, yeah. Miami's, it's, it's the place where you're gonna take your hair down, you take your hat off, you know what I mean? When did you, when did you, when did you feel like this is something, this is first episode, first episode, uh, first, first promo on the episode, yeah. Fat Joe was the first one we released, second one we recorded, we put out a video clip of the podcast, which was at that time you didn't put video of podcasting out, podcasting was strictly audio, uh, 2015, 2016. Wow, yes, March of 26th of a year, we're celebrating seven years, we're, you're way before podcasts. Well, no, no, to be fair, there was podcasting, but in the hip-hop space it wasn't a thing, yeah. It was Elliot Wilson, there was combat Jack, IC had done uh internet radio and done podcasting, who else had done it? Joe Budden had been doing stuff a little and and maybe there might have been somebody else, but we, we, I feel like we took it to a different level, and then I remember I went to South by Southwest when we had just put out a clip of the first episode, and there was already a buzz of that clip, and I said, oh, I think we onto something here. Yeah, and in that first with CBS Radio is our distributor just for the audio, and that first episode came out, and, and it, it just, it went crazy. To this day, do you know why it works? No, do you care? No, I think that, I think we, we caught lightning in a bottle. I mean, you know what I can say the truth, you know why it works, because our hearts is in the right place, and the thing about it is, in this game, if you have 10 years, people want to kick you out, people want to tell you you're old, people want to tell you you're washed up, and that doesn't exist in rock and roll, it doesn't exist in jazz, it doesn't exist in any other genre of music, so we wanted to, um, you know, change that, like, yo, man, the, the, the, the, the more that you are here, then you survive, that should be, that should be flowers, yeah, yeah, that should be something that you celebrated, not something that you look down upon and look around upon, so we want to change that, and now we changed it, like we had to date our soul yesterday, and it's from, it's from insiders, yeah, you know, an artist has had success, a DJ, and I've been behind the scenes doing marketing and promotion for the labels, so we're not coming from it from just like this, like journalistic standpoint, that's not at all, actually, I debated, I said, no, we're not journalists, we're having conversations with our peers about what we're in involved in. I got that bamboo, it's that bamboo right here, right? Of course, yes, let's go, let's go, we're gonna start with you, Nori, okay, you gonna hit that bamboo, Bel Air Ace, amen, there you go, this is how you start, hey, get up here, we gotta ask you, Bellaire, hey man. [Music] [Applause] Nobody will ever come before EFC, they'll never play yourself with one thing, don't ever play yourself, take your shots. [Laughter] [Music] So look, I, I've been drinking the McQueen, yes, you already know, I've been on the ultraviolet, the new Vibe, the purple, you gotta try it, it's Palm, I've been drinking that majority of the night, then I started taking some of the deacon with you.

And now this is the what bamboo? Bamboo. Be honest, the bamboo that's the smoothest one. Yeah, yeah. It's easy. And by the way, I'm not a mixer. I'm gonna stick to one, like some whiskey. I'll stick to the whiskey, but I just took it. It's delicious. It is delicious.

I got a question.

Yes, no problem. What's Ross like to interview versus anybody else? The best one. Question then the biggest in the game. Why? Because [Music] Wanna know why? Because he's hilarious. Did you not hear none of this [ __ ]? He was dead. Hey, come on, like I mean, um, to tell you the truth, we flowers, man. We people want to give people their flowers. You're people who want people to know that you know. I mean, um, in our game, we so much in competition with each other. We always we always saying, "Yo, this nigga's dad, this [ __ ] is not this," and no one's big enough each other. Like we we brung flowers to the game. We brung it. Now everybody wants to get flowers. These guys want to get flowers. We did that. Shots five. Yeah, yeah. We did that. We because it takes nothingness is my family, but it takes nothing away for me to big up to the next man. And so many people in this game won't do that. They won't sit there and say, "Yo, you know what? You great. I enjoy you being great. Continue to be great." It's a celebratory show. Don't shoot just me sitting back as uh, as as I'm listening to this conversation.

You're kidding. Pure honesty. Yes. You feel that, like, just you know, you know. I'm gonna tell you what's incredible about these conversations. These are amongst people, let me get another problem with each other since the beginnings, but he's still saying no. He's been the same. That's he's been the same, but that's what I think is special. We've all seen each other from early on, right? Everybody's rising on different levels, but we're all here today to speak on success, to celebrate the culture, celebrate each other. That's what's important about this. Yes. And look on and speak on the times that was very important to us. It's a lot of times when people watch your story and don't understand the value of the small things that were to you, right?

Yeah. So me, my days coming up in Miami, and and putting in work with the mixtape DJs. One time for you. Be GHC Mega mix. Mega mix a dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So so when I'm when I'm speaking of when I'm speaking of EFX, I'm speaking of all my chicos that you call me FX. No, no. There's a DJ name. Yes. Just talking about the entire movement. You know what EFM was? You know he was the head of that [ __ ]. You know what I'm saying? But for everybody else that was putting in work and showing love, the [ __ ] that was in the street, we salute them still 20 years later.

Right. That's right. So when you when you were solid, that's priceless. Your name will never die in these streets, cause it's real [ __ ]. That's gonna always recognize you. It don't matter how big or how many followers you got. We don't forget. We don't. Loyalty. Yeah. That bamboo there, they're bamboo right there.

I've never had beef with Tesla. Maybe you need a test. So y'all let my big homie know. Rose, sin is love. Would you drive it if he rolled with me? It's only if he wrote it down. If he if if he just if I just gotta help him out with that and got in the Tesla, what I just know? No. If he, you know, drove a Tesla with me in the Tesla, I would ride. Will you ask him right now? We want to go to space. I want you Club Space or space, space. Elon Musk, wherever you at, it's the biggest boss in the game, Ricky Rose. Hey, I want to go to space. You shifting gears right now.

So my new I'm my new vibe for this year, it's bubbles. Yeah, bubbles. It's bubbles. If anybody that's smoking is flowers, let's boss up and change our lingo a little bit. Bubbles. Flowers. Bubbles is what the the rose. The bubbles right now right now is everything that you see on the table. Um, it's everything you see in the flowers, of course. That's the high tolerance. Oh, only about just being a finest when I smoke, whenever that is, it's only the finest. When I'm sipping the finest bubbles, they are only the finest. The finest bubbles. Thank you. Make sure you so so just back just for the record on the drink champs. For the record, when we ask them Luke Bellaire or ace of spade, the response was what Bella. [Applause] We could be we can we can be even you say ace of spades. [Applause] I gotta rip that County baby. Yeah. I gotta ask you. I gotta ask you because I can't wait. God did, right? And we here you Wayne, and then we hit hole with an eight-minute verse, right? Did you know he was gonna go eight minutes? No. He said he could realize whenever whenever it comes. Something between me and Khaled, I never know who's on the record because I'm the first one my brother goes to when Kelly. Yeah. [Music] I really like that. Let's do it one more time. Oh. [Laughter] So you gotta understand the relationship me and Cali got. When he catch that zone, when he catch that vibe, he sent it to Rose first, and I don't wait. So when Kelly sent me the record, yeah, that's once again, it's two percentage [ __ ]. I don't need to know who's on the record. Give me that motivation to talk. Send it to me. And that's what Kelly when he caught that vibe, he sent it directly to me. I had diverse back to him. It had to be under 30 minutes. So actually, yeah. And me me and Kelly play those type of games. Whoever you gonna go put on it, you could go put [ __ ] sting on it. You could go [ __ ] Luke Beethoven on whatever it's gonna be. Let's keep it, you know, let's keep. Did you know who else was gonna be honest? No. He didn't need to know. I didn't I don't want to know. Yeah. I don't need to know. You know what I'm saying? Like she's like it was his brother. That's my brother. You sent it to me. Boom. And that's what we did. Beautiful [ __ ]. He just let me know when he was gonna drop it. Big homie, I'm finna I'm ready to drop it. I'm ready. Let me know when I'm gonna post it. When you post it, I'ma listen to it. When you drop it, is that when it happened? Yeah, yeah. So respect your loyalty, but both did you know that was our question? [Laughter] Oh, Brett. Okay. That's right. What what happened, Sonny? So but let me ask though, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. But let me ask so when you did finally hear that final final product, was that something like you wanted to say, "I, you know what, you know, I wish I had a chance to have a longer verse," or it was just like, "You know what? This is a masterpiece." No, no, no, no, no. When you're a boss and you're a real shooter, you gotta know you only get one time to be a king. You don't get three times to be a king. You either decide right now if you are, you are. So soon when he sent it to me, I laced it right then and sent it back to him. That was the vibe. That was what you decided to do. Most definitely, right? Yeah. And so when I heard Wayne, when I heard hold and we were performing it at the Grammy, the Grammys actually, it was incredible. Oh, man, was that real food on the table? Oh, man, it was real food. It was real. I was trying to smell it through the TV. I just remembered there [Laughter] a button up all the way to the throat. Yeah, but it was most different. That was incredible. It was something that was dope. That was dope. I'm gonna take a something shot or bamboo. There you go. I'm civil. I got it, baby. What I'm sipping? I just finished it. You just missed it. Okay, here we go. Cheers. It's your first time. Yeah, like I I got Josh to you everywhere else. It's not direct, you know what I mean? But um, yeah, I mean, look, so look, we coming out with a wine. Me being a boss, me being Ricky Rose, I just want to know I see you have ace of spade on this. Yes. You keep going. I just I just want to know is it is it business? Do you have an ace of space deal? Oh, yeah. Oh, you're afraid. Leave it alone. Please already told us he's afraid. He's not sorry. I just have a question. You're not afraid. He's not afraid. Go ahead, ask a question. We know you're afraid. So we know it's only on the table because of your friendship. Yeah. So it is a friendship. This is my brother, man. That's my brother, too. I'm just asking him. Yes. And it's a great product, by the way. Yeah. It's a beautiful product. But I know that you haven't drank any. Yes. We are sweet Italian day ideas. Do you do you really enjoy the ace? Yes. I enjoy Bel Air, too. Okay. I don't gotta make a choice. For the record, what are these different bamboo bottles right here? Well, we've been drinking the original. So what is that? What is that? Because this is good already. This is cream. Okay. Cream, like like is there like anything there? Uh, if you ever had Baileys or malibules, that's all [ __ ]. There's no milk in there. No milk in it. Exactly. All right. Yeah. All right. So this is how this means this means don't have dinner, don't have lunch, just drink. That's it. That's and that one. This is like uh, if you like cigars, like dark chocolate, this is this is bamboo EXO. It's just for the record. And the way I I love to explain it, the original is it's much smoother. Yeah. I like the original because me coming up as a youngster, I didn't rock with Hennessy when it was popular, right? I was sweat [ __ ]. Make me damn near wanna fight, you know. Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying. So I knew then I wasn't rocking with Hennessy, so I would drink the rum. And so the Black Bottle is more like the OG. So if you want that shot, if you really want that kick, that's that black bottle. That that's that gangster. You know what I'm saying? That's the EXO. But you were drinking you've been drinking the original, which is you a certain part of my life in Puerto Rico because I'm half Puerto Rican. 100. And soon every time I sip that, I go to Puerto Rico. Yeah. I'm in a half in Puerto Rico. Feel it. Yeah. I mean, buy them all going like this. Did I kill that? I feel like I killed that. Yeah. I'm in a hammock like this like every time I sip one. So I want another one, but I get another one if I'm in Kendall bamboo. Thank you. We're gonna do cream, too. But do you have a wine? You don't have a wine. Let's do it. I'm on wine. Do it. I'm a Pinot Grigio type of guy. How'd you end up bad? Where's the bamboo? She could give me some bumbles. Yeah. You can try the cream. Try the cream. Don't take my mom. You say how did I end up being a Pinot Grigio? Because I like I like chicken and fish. So I guess when I go out to eat a margarita, uh, you know, my Lobster. We have something new with your love then, which is uh, a Cabernet. A Cabernet, but red wine and Cabernet is a red one. Yeah. Okay. Cool. So after that, we'll come out with Chardonnay. You'll see. I don't I don't like Chardonnay. I like Pinot Grigio. Okay. I can't stand by a product. I gotta love it. You gotta love it. You have to stay the Loyals. Stay loyal. I gotta love it. So you don't have a wine. You have a Cabernet. That's cool. Yeah. It's not out yet, but it's not out yet. Yeah. Okay. Wow. And is it from Napa Valley? Uh, yes. Oh, yes. Very important. Gotta be for me. Why is it important? Like I like I like American-made wine more because I got more access to it. You know, it's fresh. Yeah. When it arrives, I got like an Opus One because it's from Napa Valley. You've got expensive taste. It's good as opposed to good a red that's from France. I could only get two bottles of it. Um, they ain't gonna gain or sell me all that. So that's why I like American. Like I go to Napa Valley twice a year. Good for you. Yes, I do. Come on. You think for you? No. I love that [ __ ], man. I love this [ __ ], Rose man. Thank you so much. You want to come in before man? That's my that's my brother. I wanted that gun place. We're gonna put on some chairs for y'all guys. [Applause] Like under under like when we first started. Oh, we got the the infamous cocaine episode. Wait a minute. We had no uh facility been a part of everything, man. Yes. You know. So how how is it, you know, I mean, um, if you can hear him, yeah, can you hear the boss? So how is it because we heard him say earlier, you know, um, that you guys knew each other since y'all was 13? I believe that was the age. Yeah, man. I was just seeing the transition from, you know, seeing, you know, you guys from little little boys every day. I'm still in shock, man. Make some noise. He's so humble about it, like, you know what I'm saying? So you know, um, just seeing just seeing the the heights that he's reached and and knowing that, you know what I'm saying? Like like I could I I had to I had to passenger side seat to that. Yes. Is is is is you know, it's I don't know, man. It's overwhelming, you know what I'm saying? Um, what can you say, man? It's it's a dream that that that that he came, you know what I mean? I mean, that kind of fruition from, you know, my career Sam sneaks everybody around him, you know what I'm saying? All the artists he signed, all the deals he did. That's that's that's, you know, it's it's definitely big dreaming, man. And uh uh anybody that's that's seeing this, man, it can happen, you know what I'm saying? Like for real, it can happen. Well, you know, just stay down, man. Just stay down. Yo, let me let me say something about artists out of coming out of Miami. Like like Ross is going on one of these artists. What's the cream? That's what they set me up. Okay. This is where Jose come in. Hold up. Cream. That's good. Hold up. Paco. I want cream, too, man. I'm telling you right now. Hold on, hold on. Don't don't laugh too hard. Ross, one of those artists, Gunplay, like we we hip-hop community in Miami wanted these artists to just like embody Miami and come out swinging, and Ross did it, and Gunplay was doing it, and Gunplay is still doing it. And I'm telling right now, I think he's underrated, and he's still got so much more to do. Yes. And he gonna come out. He still got so much so much more to do. Yeah. Gunplay is that guy. Yes. I agree. I'm taking a shot today. [Applause] And I'm gonna hit the cream. This is the cream joint. Wait. This is the Bumble first. That was the first time I heard my song on the mixtape. Walking through 183rd thing to go buy me some cut. You know what I'm saying? Come on, man. Come on. Take them take them take them on a high-speed shake them shake them shake them down the back street. It was an old song. All I want is I just want to rep for the this for the crib.

[Music] So yeah, it's so good as the other um taste a little cinnamon in there. You're done for the night. Just keep drinking now. You need to do coquito with Nori right now. Cinnamon. It's a little cookie. Delish. I like it. It's like yeah, because you know you guys like we said earlier, you guys been down forever, you know what I mean? Uh, that loyalty is unprecedented in hip-hop. Sometimes a lot of people, you know, that crews ain't the same. Like I was like I said like when I I came today, I I was expecting the voice voice to pull up, and I was expecting y'all to pull up, and he didn't disappoint me at all. Everything that I wanted to see from him, he he he produced. But how is that, you know, being a DJ and um staying down that long, like everyone being down like because it's not a lot of it's not a lot of that that happens like that. Oh, nah. You know, when I first when I first met him and he came so my mom's house him and Gunplay, he walked into the room. Hold on, hold on. It's your mom's house. Yeah. I was I was young. I was about like 17, maybe 15, 7, 8, 2, 9, 8. And he came, which is crazy. It's normally be a lot of people in the neighborhood to be in front of my house, but for some reason that they want nobody there, but he can't even Saturday, and he came, and the Gunplay pull up in the bins from I let me boom walk in the room. I got where's this at? When they know Miami. Okay, no fighting. North Miami. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the first time I ever got on social media. This is the first person that ever supported by giving the mic. Please point them. I get them. Yeah. Why not? Why not? It's my first social media. First time I ever had anybody support my mixtapes. First time I ever this was like some MySpace type [ __ ]. Yeah. You know. Yeah, yeah. There's like some [ __ ]. I never even they telling me like, "Yo, it's just young kid Sam sneaker. He says music and sneakers." This is like I didn't know, but guess what? This went on for so long. I finally said, "Give me his address." They say he's in Miami. Give me his address. I drove to his mom's house. That's Ross. Come on. I walked into his mom's house into his back room. Only thing that was in his room was a bed and Nike boxes of shoes. And I was telling he had a mixtape, and I was like, "I could put this on the internet for you." He was like he looked at me for real. I'm like, "Yeah, hold on." Oh, and they didn't know anything about it, and he just I didn't have a mass Space page, and he fighted herself have been on MySpace. They [ __ ], and he, you know, he was like looked at me. He was like, "You my DJ." I'm like I told him right then, "You my DJ." Yo, I didn't have a DJ. [Music] I just told him because he been online, and everybody been telling me for the last two months, this dude every day been doing something for you and been breaking that [ __ ]. And take one. Yeah. I like Rolex a little more before I got to take one. I was at diamonds. Okay. And diamonds was the [ __ ]. It's reported King of Diamonds. Nah, this is freestyle. Steve come in one night. The club pack is like, "Boy, this Ross record, that's I'm going outside." Ross like Rick Ross like, "Yeah, I ain't talked to him for like a few months." I'm like, "Oh [ __ ]. Get to me off the top." I'm playing it, but at the time Lenny who's running the club had this rule where like you couldn't play play records back to back, you know what I'm saying? You couldn't do the fun flex [ __ ]. Like yeah.

[Music] Like, be like, what's the difference? So it's an argument, security, so he ain't like that. He was like, just play one song. They play two songs later, but I'm like, my [ __ ] Ross, I burned that [ __ ] eight times in a row, back to back, every night. It was it was it, you know, it was I disrespected the whole world. This is before you met Ross. I had already met him, but I hadn't seen them at March on one. Like, we met through everybody on social. Yeah, you know, I never was on Myspace, but they was like, yo, this is the young kid in Miami who posted your [ __ ] like, you know, like keep one of us. What year was this? This is about—are you talking Myspace? [Music]

I pull up to his mom's house. Oh, Google, when freestyle brought it to me, at all diamonds, and I'm like, oh [ __ ]. And shout out freestyle Steve. I just want to say like, legends [ __ ], you ain't got to tell me twice. Yeah, so I played it. I'm like, oh [ __ ], this is it. This, so I'm burning in the club like he's playing the [ __ ] out of it. Mind you, like my homie, shout out to Katie KB, I love you. He keeps telling me he comes back. He goes to the strip club five times a week. They say, yo, it's a DJ, play yo [ __ ] every time I'm in there. What's his name? Cause this before anybody in my records. So to me, whoever this is, this will mean the most. Um, so he didn't tell me. Then, maybe a month later, they say his name Sam Sneaker. Um, they was calling them Sam Sneaker because they said he was more known at his young age for his shoes. I say, sound, I know that young [ __ ], that's my homie. Imma come to the strip club and see him. But [ __ ], by the time I was coming, he hadn't got fired for playing myself.

It was a little bit, yeah. And that's why he was out there, and that's why we start going to Take One. So that's why I was like, boy, you my DJ, you really—you got fired for that? Yeah, you gotta understand, they didn't—wow, the same song. I respect the manager now, cause I understand why he got money. Right, right. He broke it down to me. He like, I didn't hate on you, but damn, we had—you couldn't do that. Right. Yeah. And he would listen. The thing is, it was like Ross, like, oh, you my DJ. I'm like, all right, cool [ __ ] it. I told him, so now I ain't have to talk to them. I got the record. I'm like, I'm gonna Burn It To The Ground, you feel what I'm saying? Ross, was it the same time you're doing the mixtapes with Megamix? This is [ __ ] even before then. Wow. This, when I'm first putting music together, period, period. Yeah, this is the first person in Miami that I'm ever hearing playing my [ __ ]. So stepping it from zero. Yeah, yeah.

So I noticed you said you pulled up to his mom's house with the bins. Yeah. Ross was living a different life when he first met him. It—man, I've been to S600, but it was the E. There you go, guys. Did your mom know who he was? No, nobody, nobody knew who I was then. I would always tell everybody, but nobody knew. They'd be like, all right. I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna tell you something, and don't take this no type of way. Yeah, Sam is a very advanced type of individual. He was—he's somebody that somebody else would have said was a nerd or something, because I've never—nobody that knew what he knew at that time. At that time, I don't—I didn't know—I didn't know nobody else that knew what he knew and what he was telling me. I was a street [ __ ], just playing, making music, and he was telling me about—yo, he gave you the advantage, you should get a page. She gave the adventure to do this, you should—I'm like, yo, man, [ __ ] that [ __ ]. Wow. He was the first person I really—and afterwards I met, you know, America Mix and all the homies that they cared as well about you and you guys, without a doubt, 100, they most definitely, because they came to me, they mixtapes, the most Megamix and you being—she came to me like, self-snake was a young [ __ ] that was damn near Middle School. Hey, yo, Megamix. So I was giving him music. Wow, dog, that's crazy. I used to drink [ __ ] cranberry juice and Red Bull. As you should have been—you should have been—you fired because of Ross. I was fine because I love Ross's music. That's dope. That's [ __ ] dope. That is ill. That's a crazy story. I always felt like he was go—I would be sending him [ __ ]. I was like, hey, do a freestyle of this. He would do a freestyle today. So he became your A&R in a sense. Yeah. What did you see in Ross that no one else saw at the time? The way he could paint—yo, see, like right now, he'll tell you I always like, yo, why you don't go back the story—like, would you be writing like, you know, the stories and all that, because he—you know how to paint pictures real well. But like, if he would go to a storytelling mode—oh yeah—like we like—he has a song called We Came to Raw. It's one of my favorite records, storytelling records. I never put it out. When you heard the interview today, when you hear all the—do you hear the storytelling? Yeah, but you—if you would with the pin it down in the black shield behind a beat, it amazes you. Yeah, because I ended up—you'll be like, yo, damn, I never even thought we—this one would be it by the end of this verse. So enter this record. Wow, type [ __ ]. I sent it to you. Listen to people like, oh please—oh yeah. But what was that? At one point it was like we could never release—he makes a show to us though, a little bit. I know that's just—you know—you know, let me listen. You know, when you got your little homies with your music, you expect them to play it for their closest home. Yeah, I'm gonna hear a little something, but he knows he can't give it to—you know, come on, you got me a box 24/7, man, relax. Almost going through the notes. No, what else? We did everything one more time. Okay, Jamie, stop taking my bamboo, man. You taking your own Bumble. I think—let's see, Jack in my bamboo. Let me hear some of that Jamaican talk, man. Obama. [Music] [Applause] We're going—I'll be good. Haiti. Yeah, so you're the first. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, we hit it nice. The Haitians—that's what Haitians do. Yeah, we'll be back here. When you had—when you had what his name is—uh, Big with Gary, Big Face Gary, Big Face Gay, when you had them all here—you know something like, dog. Hey, I watched the whole cause—yeah, I never had met like—I never really hate you about football for the fact that when you mentioned, I was like, oh [ __ ]. Yeah, I'm tuned in. But that's just what we do. No, that's real, that's real. I respect it. I just [ __ ] with him. [Applause] [Music] Percent. August 22nd, 1791, was the first revote with uh—was actually by Jamaican slave by the name of Bookman. Wow. It was called the Bookman Rebellion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, look at the Loyalty. Gotta love it every time. Yeah, it's all love, man. You know, you know that Puerto Ricans do it, you know. Yeah, yeah. He's just excited, you know, you're in the United States. It's real [ __ ] like, oh [ __ ], you still got family there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. Can't say—yeah, I'm just gonna do it one more. When did you meet—one question, you want to know something? Lexus, who actually called me to the diamonds because they needed a DJ. Is that what you're doing? I'm like, [ __ ], I just came eating some Burger King. What's happening? You're like, hey, uh, you want to come make some money real quick? They need a DJ. The—oh, at the strip club. But I was never a strip club Nick. I never had to go to strip club. How my brothers in them inside the skis? Yeah, Poe—that's who—like go to the strip club. They was going to Angels back in the day. Back—yeah, North Miami back then. Yeah, my homeboy Stroke when it was Glass House. My own boy Stroke actually had uh control of it when it was Glass House. So I'm like, oh, all right, cool. I'm good at playing music, but I ain't with the strip club [ __ ]. So I don't really know how to talk. So when I got there, I'll never forget a Disco Rickshaw. The Disco Rick, he was like—he was going to go get ready to go to the Iguanas. That's when they used to do uh the Monday nights there. He like, all right, man, just uh play music, called three songs. The third song, make sure it's the slow song, and then uh after that, called the next girl on stage. Boom boom. I'm like, [ __ ], I—I'm nervous as [ __ ] cause I know nothing of what you just told me. I'm not even familiar with the strip club [ __ ]. So I'm like, all right, cool. I'm gonna try to figure it out. But before—back then how they would play music was like two Up Tempo records, and the third record would be like a slow—like a slow record. Like the last record used to be slow. And I'm like, man, it's too slow for my Tempo. So I'll be—I'll play more like TI, hey, let's get away joints and like more like, you know, hip-hop smooth joints. You know what I'm saying? Like Lost Boys, Renee. I play like [ __ ] like that for the third record. You know what I'm saying? I did a little different, so the girl started liking my music selection, but I was terrible calling. I ain't talk on the mic. I was like, I ain't do that [ __ ]. I ain't never MC, even then when I was DJing in the streets and the other [ __ ]. I'd always had like a mic man be like, I'm gonna play this. That's what I was doing. Like, I play music, the mic [ __ ]. I was like, I would never with that the [ __ ] Club [ __ ] made me talk on them like because I couldn't have somebody like called this girl. Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah. So when Rick helped me out though, cause he would host, but over time he got tired of it because he wanted to go places, and I was told them whatever, you know, I got a hang of it, and then you know, but Take One is what took me to life, because Diamonds they didn't want like the too much hood [ __ ], right? So it was like, you know, yeah. But then when I got to Take One, it was a—I could play whatever and do whatever, talk however. Okay, hey, that was your studio was about Take One, 20 years? No, yeah, huh, yeah. [Music] And we make one, we need to make one with my dog—with my dog—with my dog from Kendall, try it. Oh, that's the [ __ ] they make in the bathtub. That's a Dominican—a Dominican drink with her. You got no recess. We need to make that. Listen, he got Candela, which is dope, which is—but Brett, we gotta make this. I keep seeing you drink this heck. I don't know what it is. Yeah, I love it. It's a rum-based drink, but it could be made with anything, but it's rum-based with herbs. Yeah, try it, try it. Roots and culture—he wrote the culture, give it back. Oh, there's another one, bathtub charge. [Music] Let's do it. Hey, cause I just got one more question that you can get about it here, cause I know—I know you gotta go two more. So [Music] Okay, thank you. Um, Coming to America, Coming to America, guacamole, holy moly guacamole. Did Eddie Murphy call you direct? How did this happen? I'm like, no, no, screw that. How much money did you get? Hey, whoa, whoa. Is that a better question? Yeah, it was a better question. No, it was—it was a seven-figure play. All right, without a doubt, that was a big movie. That was a big film, and they spent a lot of time at the Promised Land. Without a doubt, shout out to Eddie Murphy. Shout out to the whole team. Coming to America is one of my favorite top three films of all time. The first one, right? You're talking about? Yeah, the first one. Yeah, was one of my favorite films of all time. So when they reached out and was like, yo, Eddie Murphy come true. Yeah, and I'm just like, yo, Eddie Murphy, Coming itself. Let's make this clip. They like, yo, Eddie Murphy will come tomorrow. Yeah, that's the type of [ __ ]. Hey, you feel like you don't made it. I'm like, yo, this is crazy. You know what I'm saying? So if you—if you go to my Instagram page, Average Forever, and you see Eddie Murphy holding my book up, that was because my book was just released, and I was just kicking it with him while he was walking around the crib. Yeah, how hard is that? That's hard [ __ ]. That's the hard [ __ ], man. It makes a noise. Did he get in the bathtub? I don't know if he got—hold on, the bathtub is the size of this place—up the whole place. You can make a lot of that and uh—without a doubt, dude, in the master bedroom, the—the jacuzzi is most definitely huge. And I don't remember. And uh, Coming to America 2, they actually knew—I don't know. I just know when we was negotiating what parts, I was just like, [ __ ] the small talk, just pay for the whole estate. Yeah, so if you want to do tai chi in the backyard, you could do it, because [Music] He was cool when he thought I was a podcast. I think he's like, that's a rapper. He said he ain't [ __ ] me since. And I said that—I think this is Ross leftover beef. Now we don't know—we never been in the same spot—no, a few times, and it's always been positive energy. And actually um, when you see him on my page holding up the book, that's him at the Promised Land. He actually came over to the Promised Land while Eddie Murphy was filming Coming to America 2 and kicked it with them one day on—on set. And when he—so when you see him sitting in the chair holding the book up, that's him in the crib. But people don't know this—the small house was the original house. Yeah, right. It was—it was a small crib that was on the Promised Land first, and then—and then Evander built a—the estate, 55,000 square feet, 100 rooms, [ __ ] that type of vibe. Now, before we get up out of here, you and Gilly had a little back and forth at one point, right? Everything's fixed. I'm gonna be honest, I—I don't know if we had it back and forth. I just know I had to clarify, educate them on a few things. What—what exactly happened? Uh, I—I really don't even remember at this point. Ross getting so much money—I don't even remember. If he was smart, he would—he would uh pull up some Bel Air bottles and post them and tag Bel Air, tag Ross, and it's all good. You know what I mean? You gotta be—see, that's one thing about the game and really lasting out here, you got to be smart, be small, be smart. That's one thing I'm glad to be, and I consider myself, and I'm always willing to learn. I'm always quick to learn. Teach me. You don't gotta have uh—I don't—you know, you could have a thousand followers, and I learned from you. That's what the game about. It's not about your status, your wealth, it's really the direction where you're going, and if it's something that's most definitely gonna put me and my homies in a better situation, Ross gonna appreciate that and acknowledge you for that. But what I'm amazed by just listening to him is ever—it's—it's all truth. It's not BS. It's not preaching. It's all truth. Everything he says comes true. He'll support anybody who supports—they'll get behind anybody who's—who's doing it. He'll—he'll—it's constantly about—I want to learn, what—what can I learn from this? How can I do better? What—what's more out there for me? But just for the—but just for the record, it's not nobody really that could go back and forth with Ross. Yeah, it's not nobody. Don't even waste your time. Don't play yourself. Don't embarrass your mother. Don't do that. Be smart, be smart. I tell you—I tell you—I'm to be honest with you, bro, you helped me down one day. I don't know if you remember this. I don't remember it. [Laughter] Remind me. I'm like—I want to—I want to call this rap Purgatory. Now, if people don't know what Purgatory is, it's in between heaven and hell. So I'm in between like, you know, I'm in mixed careers, and I get this DJ Mustard beat. Ty Dolla $ign sends me a DJ Mustard beat. I'm like, wow, this is one of the biggest Deuces out of the time, uh, and I got Ty Dolla $ign on the hook, one of the biggest singers out at the time. I'm like, how can I make it more a movie? And I hit you up and I said, Jose, can I get eight bars? And you gave me eight bars, and I did not have it to pay you, but I say, how much you—how much you want, my bro? And you said, you good, OG. Oh, I will never forget that. Oh, because I'm like, you know, most of the—most of the—most—most young people ain't looking out for the old Elders. So what I'm saying—and I'm like—I said, I'm in between—you don't know—you probably don't know what I was going through, but you must have tied Dolla $ign. I will never forget that. That record, that [ __ ] really meant a lot to me. That [ __ ] really meant like—you were the hot—it was the hottest on the planet. You could have easily said, give me a hundred thousand. I'm good, and I would have had to find that honey. I'm gonna be honest, homie, at the end of the day, the game that I came to the music industry with was what I learned from coming from the streets with—it's a lot more valuable when you develop a relationship with people's [ __ ] then getting the 25,000 for verse, the 54 verse. You know what I'm saying? So when you talk about beefing, I did my best to try to fix so many different situations between homies. I remember getting my homies on the phone different times just to see, you know, the homies win because the love is genuine. You know what I mean? So well, let me just thank you again, because I know you don't even remember that you're getting so much money, but be honest, I don't recall them. Remember my Mustard?
