#Throwback Episode - w/ Onyx | (Ep.83 & 84)

This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. This is Weezy WTF from Decisions Decisions. Ladies, let's talk about taking control of our sexual health. That's grown woman energy. You may think HIV affects someone else somewhere else. But the truth is it's impacting our community. And some of us are being hit harder than others. Black women make up just 13 percent of the women in the US, yet account for nearly half of new HIV diagnosis amongst women. Taking care of ourselves is community care. Know your options, ask questions and protect your peace and your body. That's using your power, sponsored by Care for the Culture from Gilead Sciences. At Verbo, we understand that even the best of plans sometimes need a little support. So we plan for the plot twists. Every booking is automatically backed by our Verbo care guarantee, giving you confidence from the very start. Whenever you need help, it's ready. Before you stay, through the moments in between and after your trip. Because a great trip starts with peace of mind and maybe a good playlist. But we've got the peace of mind part covered. What's up, everyone? I'm Aiko Vodem. My next guest, it's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot. But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fine anymore, it's OK to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspirer. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

Like, yeah, come in. Come in the van. So we got in the van, started smoking with J. We start freestyle. Wait, did y'all knew that was J.M.S. and J? Of course. What kind of question is that? You like, I got J right there. You know what I'm saying? It's just fucking weed. Yeah, weed. Yo, this is, but me, I'm thinking, I'm thinking. You don't know who he is by name. He was with his brother. Right. My man's just think about weed, but I'm thinking about a record deal. Like my mind is strictly on, yo, how could I get on? This is my chance. How can I snigger in the traffic jam? He ain't going nowhere. You ain't going nowhere. So my whole thing was, I kid you that J.M.S. and J.M.S. On the highway. On the highway. Let's make some noise for that. By any means necessary. I wasn't even there though. Get out of here. It was just you? He wasn't in the group yet. Oh, wow. This is me, Son C and Big B.S. He wasn't in the group yet. We had a single on profile call, how we do it like this? That's profile records. Well, no, I was about to say that was priority. I was about to say it wasn't ice cube on profile, but that was priority. No, it was already. Yeah, yeah, okay. So continue. Yeah, so Sick wasn't even in the group at the time. He was just somewhere in Brooklyn probably running with D-Sep. So, well, now Son C.M.S. No life. So from that conversation, you got in the van, you smoked with him, and did you freestyle? How did it become? Freestyle form, you know what I'm saying? We was there for like at least an hour with him before the traffic started. In the traffic jam for now? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Smoking with him, chilling. We just voodled with him. We from Queens, he from Queens. It was more than hip hop. It was just like, yo, these little niggas is cool. You know what I'm saying? I got kicked out by my van. So we was just rockin' with him. He gave me his number. We just kept callin'. Kept buggin' that nigga. Did you think that was gonna be real, or you thought that the number he gonna gave you was like... Nah, nah, I know it was real. You knew it was real. He bobed it already. It was real. Jay was a real nigga. You know what I'm saying? Jay was a real nigga. I'm saying you knew that off top. He wouldn't have given you the number. He ain't gonna give you no fake number. That's a real nigga. You know what I'm saying? Like, he's... Like, well, run DMC, Jay was the streets for run DMC. Like, he was the street nigga. He's still in the streets. You know what I'm saying? Ice broke. Oh, I got you. I got you. I got the secret bucket. I got the secret bucket. I got the secret bucket. Got the magic bucket. So, so I... So from there, y'all speaking. Yeah. And then what was the first... Because you had to go to the studio session. What was the first studio session like? Well, Jay just got his label. He just got the Jam Jay label through Arm Dev Jam. So this is like a year later. And he was like, go to the studio. Y'all just keep working. So by the time we was working, putting the demos together for Jay, Jay was on tour with... We're running him. So one day, one day, Sun C and Big D, they come to the studio. And we say Sun C, that's the Dawson one. Swabay. One day, they didn't come to the studio. So, so... Trap. What? His name was Trap. No way. I knew everything about hiding somewhere. It was so tropical. Because I had all the flavors. You can have it. You can have it. You weigh too self for a tropical name. Yup. I used to go to school with Decent. So running wild like... The niggas tell me, yo, Sun, no Trap. Once they say that, I know it's some real niggas from back in the day. But I ain't gonna lie. Trap does sound way tougher than tropical. Yeah, you can't go to tropical. I know. I see a niggas like, yo, what up, man? They Trap. I bag a bitch with that baby. My name Trapa Cook. What? Decent. Put a pine tree in your ass. So like it ain't nothing at all. So, so, so, you guys, get us to the real session. Yeah. When is the moment you say this shit is real? This is what happened. So we did like 20 demos like CJ, like he's like getting studio work. So we put like 20 demos. So Sun saying Big DSA come to the studio on the day. They was doing the jugs or whatever, whatever, they can't make it. So Stick came to the studio. We did a record called Stick and Move. And we was wilding out what our voice is like acting grimy like... It was just the timing for what we was doing at that time. And that record was nothing like the whole demo we did for Jay was just that one record was just stand out. So when I sent the records to Jay, he was like, yo, what's this shit? Who is this nigga? I'm like, that's my cousin. He like, yo, that nigga got to be in the group. I'm like, but it's already three niggas. He was like, yo, if he ain't in the group, there ain't no group. And that's how Stick got in the group. Cause let me, let me, let me, cause let me just... So they can't nap Jay in the evening, can't nap him. Cause let me, let me just be clear. Y'all change the sound of music. Like, at the end of the day, people were, at that time, I remember being a kid in Queens. And I remember it being about like being smooth and being like, and you guys came and you guys had fun. But you guys was wild as fuck. And so how, whose idea was it to be like super different than everything else that was going on? Me, Fred, you're on Jay. And how did that, how did that, it was like... Like me and Stick moved there. Say, I want ten of those. Different. Different. So we changed the whole vibe with that one record. With the Mad City. Everybody shaved their fucking hair bald and adopted the Mad Face. But at the time you had Leeds at a new school, you had Dyes Effects coming out. It's like, our whole energy was the fucking Destroy Dyes Effects. That was our whole energy. Like, like, when I was like, the winner boy has the dress, dead or they dead. Like, I was talking about them niggas. You know what I'm saying? Cause Jay was like, yo, what the fuck? That's what the beef shit was. Nah, but just not like on the beef shit, but just like... Yeah, you got to eat. These niggas is hot, we got to be hot. We got to be more grameer. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's how it was. They came out to sewer. Then you got Wu-Tang coming after us. It was everybody fed off who was before them. Cause it was... That's how hip hop always is Wu-Tang. It's here right now, to this day. It's always the next shit from what was already there before. You know what I'm saying? So it was Dyes Effects. Yeah. It was Onyx and then Wu-Tang. Correct? Correct. Cause y'all came out first. No, they were nation. They were nation. They were nation. And then with Dyes Effects, who came out first? And what was the first Onyx record to take off? Throw your guns. Throw your guns. Yeah, we used to in my hand on the box. All day long. All day long. Oh my God, how was that studio session? I threw your guns in there. I need to hear this. A lot of drugs. That regular creed. Really? There's a lot of drugs. A lot of drugs. A lot. And then, and then, so, so what was the vibe? Like, did, did, like, cause, cause what I'm saying is, I like, I mean, honestly, like that cause y'all my friends, but y'all really changed the face of music. So, yo, the nigga sticky was doing his verse, right? Uh-huh. So, we was, we was, we was doing a verse in 1212 studio. Remember that studio? That's a power play. It burned down in Queens. Oh, no, no, no, no. Remember that dream? I made the power play. That's the real thing. That's the South Side Queen. Oh, God, oh, okay, yeah. Right off God, bro. So anyway, the studio mad hot. So we doing throw your guns, wilding out on some, on some Superman shit, Superman drugs and all that. So we sticky doing his verse, showed off sweat, like a slave in a booth. I'm just slapped him on his back. Do that shit hard, man. That's the real shit. That's the real shit. Yes, I'm not so sweat came up to do that all night. Look, that's so hard. This is going to hurt. Right. But when y'all made the record, did y'all know what it was going to do to the culture? Or this was just like another one? Something's gonna happen. We got Jay with us. We knew we on debt. Like we have for these guys. Oh, block with us. We went to a show like fucking no exaggeration. I have 15 calls filled up. Everybody with the heads of lights on. Blown the fucking Tobol. All right. Now we knew we knew we wasn't in there. Yeah, and plan wasn't. We wasn't in there. We wasn't in there. Not not the fuck shit up. That's why the album was called back the fuck up. Right. That was the whole vibe of the album. Like everybody got to back the fuck up. Right. You know what I'm saying? Right. And you got Leo Cohen and Russell like giving us the video. Russell and the video spitting in the video. Like they like just go ahead like. Wait up, wait up, wait up. You can't just say that like that was normal. Hold on. Russell, you had Russell in the video. I don't want to spit in with a fucking feet jacket on. He put one top in a Rolls Royce model bitch driving in the back. You know what's crazy? Because one DMC was never actually on deaf man. Right. Right. So it was on profile. Yeah. So that's not so J. Yo, he's on profile. He looked at me like. Because they was on profile. These niggas is, you know what I mean? Already on already. I mean he has some pop in the video. Right. You know what I'm saying? Right. His label. Right. These niggas on my label? Tim, Stu ain't tell me about that. So how did y'all ever get on profile to get on deaf man? He just had a single deal. He just had a single deal. He was like, oh, Red Alert ain't playin' recce. He was wackin' on black. Like real shit. What? He was playing beat shit. And I play it for the other people. You remember Red Alert was like, I don't like to vote. Like if Red didn't like his shit, he was not getting on at that time. I'm like, I don't like your fucking scratch. Who's Dimash? Who's Dimash? So, we'll shut the regular. So now whatever is slam. Slam. I'm at the same level. 93. 93. I was the same. That was the second single. The third one was the first. So the guns was your first. Yo, y'all, they gotta be quiet, y'all. Yo, what's the talk about this? Talk over here, y'all. Relax, y'all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're slam. Let me tell you. I'm only three years. Because let me tell you something. Slam. Me too. Let me tell you something. Slam was like the first time I seen. Like, cause obviously walk this way. I was too kind of young because I'll be four years old. No, I walked this way. I was like, I was 82. I was born in 77 or something like that. Right. I was born in 77. Young boy. Yeah, I was young. Young boy. So, when I see walk this way, that was kind of later on in my life. Right. But when I see slam, that was like the first time I seen white people fully embrace hip hop culture. Like, I fully see them come on. Like, what that is? Oh, that's Remy Axel. God damn, he's rich. Thanks. This makes the noise for sticky being rich. God damn it. God damn it. But for you guys, like, did you know when you made slam that you were across the whole way? They crossed over in a way. You were beyond the hood. Like, the hood folks with y'all. But now it was like white people was playing slam. That was only 24. Yeah, yeah. The box. I remember the box. Yeah, the box too. In a way, it was all planned. It was all planned. Cause that record took a long time to make. It wasn't just seven days. Like God created the heavens and the herbs. It took us seven days to create the rhythm and the verse. The crazy shit is we ain't even like the beat. You know, Sha's skills, Sha's skills. Sha's skills, yeah. He produced the beat. I ain't like it. I was like, ah, it's too soft. He was like, yo, this is it. I'm like, all right. Wait, are we talking about the boys? You didn't like the beat? I'm coming with some. I ain't like it. That shit is clear. You feel like it? Because it was just kind of. But it's coming from the nigga that made last days though. Nah, not even that. But not even that. It was just like soft. What we was doing, we was doing shit like back to the fuck up. Bitch ass niggas, I'm gonna have to pull you skirt up. All that type of shit. Did he come in with the boom? Nah, I think y'all was just like, I don't think that was too soft. I don't think that was soft. That was not soft. That was not soft. That was not soft. Comparison though. Oh, okay, man. Okay, I'll take the other records. Just saying. Okay, okay. Like Jay had to convince me. You don't have to glass only cookie. Like Jay had to convince me like, yo, this is it. Oh, so it was Jam Master Jay. Man, do the fuck song. All right. All right. All right. And now let's just touch on Jam Master Jay a little bit. Oh, man. I haven't worked at his studio, the other studio, the one that he passed away at. Nah, never worked at. Oh, you never worked at? I never worked at. That's dangerous for Queens Niggas to go to that studio. Yeah, it's crazy. I went to the studio after this shit happened. It was just like, it was just like L feeling in there. But how sad was that moment for you guys? I'm sorry to get to some serious shit. You know, this is drink chance. You like to touch on everything. That was like, that was like my big brother. Yeah. The first time I came to LA was with Jay on some movie shit. Russell Simmons and Quincy Jones was doing a TV show and I was coming out of Queens to audition for the show and all of that. And that Michael Rappaport. That's the first time I met him. First time I was even on a plane was with Jay. Right. No, sure. You know what I'm saying? God bless. God bless. We gotta, we gotta, we gotta, everybody please just stop for a second. Let's give a moment of silence for Jam S to Jay, everybody. God bless Jam S to Jay. He makes the noise for him too, god damn it. So now, so now, let's, let's, let's, let's take us through this time. You, you, your first acting gig was Moisha or no? No, Strat. Strat. Yeah. Come on. Spamboon, nigga. Come on, son. God, brother. You playing gigs right now. Was that Spike Lee? No, that's Crookley. That was Faris Royce. That was Faris Royce. Okay. So how do you- I had juice and just strapped it. It was Menace of Society. So how's, really, out of line. So it's a lot. How do, how, thank you for- What happens you get this call to, to, to, to, to, cause we rappers at this time. And you get this call to, to, to Hollywood is called even though it's in New York. That was Russo. Russo. Russo was like, yo, go do that. Wow. Go audition for that. Wow. And J-will tell me the music supervisor. So I hold album back to fuck up was like the soundtrack and shit. What was your first, first acting gig? Hmm. I acted like I didn't do it and shit. They let me go. Just do it with the ball leaf. Just make some noise. Make some noise. Now who is your baby? Who is your baby? Oh, I mean first. First. Uh-uh-uh-uh-clockers. Spike Lee. Clockers. Cat-pipe from a front row. So hold on. Let's just- let's just- listen. Did you know how much they just slanced on us right now? His first movie- Just told you. His first movie was clockers. That is- Just- Just- Just- Just- Just- Just- What move you had to yellowjack it on? Sunset Park. Sunset Park, all right. Let me save that then. Let me save that. That's a great pose. Yellowjack. Yellowjack. Yo, and that was me playing ball two money. Let it go real. Nice. No stuff. No stuff. So now, when you think about it, how hip hop has transitioned, and you guys have, right now we're interviewing you in Hollywood, which means that you had to do good to stay in Hollywood. A lot of people move here, and they move the fuck back, and they realize how, so how hard is it to say, you know what, I want to crack in the Hollywood, because it's better payment for us. For those that don't know, like let's speak to the people. It's better payment when it comes to, as far as the work, you know what I'm saying? I mean, it's a different payment. I would say that, I would say it's better. It's just a different atmosphere, different surrounding, you know what I'm saying? But it's the same, my suit. Same fight different around, you know what I mean? Right, right. But explain to our artists that's rapping right now, and they're saying, you know, because that's what most people do. They rap to get to the movies, and then they do the movies to get to whatever, you know what I'm saying? Or an R&B they can want to rap, or the rap they can want to do R&B, it's all about basketball, they can want to rap. It's all the same. It's only as hard as you allowed it to be. Mm. Do it all, fuck it. Now you did a movie. Didn't you do a hard movie? Was it Wesley Snipes? No, it's not hard, but Wesley Snipes played Blade, in the movies, and I was Blade on TV, Spike TV, with Lula on cinema. Now, is that different for you, or is that like? Now that shit was nil, because you know, growing up I was a fucking comic book head. So to beat out Michael John Wayne, and play fucking Blade, it was shit. And I'm the first rapper to ever be a fucking superhero. Right. Will Smith played, what's his name? Yeah, the big six. I was made up to a big hero, and that was after the Blade. First rapper is Sway and... You was second, Will, relax. Relax, Will. Relax, Will. So now, your first time acting, because it's different, like when you doing videos, you'll get a troll if you're lucky. Right. But acting, it's like... Stare and dig. You know the drill. Crash service, Crash service. Wardrobe. Wardrobe. Wardrobe. So what made y'all say I'ma still do music? Cause I ended up a lot. My first movie, I was like, I'm done. I'm never gonna rap again. Two million records, the first album. Like this is what we do, like we love, this is hip hop. That's the foundation of everything. That's the foundation, that's the button right there. So you stay, what's your favorite ever in hip hop? Right now. My favorite ever? I can't, I would have to agree with him because, because I'm a fan of all the other things. I'm right now. Right. Mmm. Look at the past. You can't do nothing about that shit. Nah, that's true. My favorite ever was Right Now. Right Now. Right Now. What's your favorite new artist? Me. That's what makes noise in that. Yeah. My new name is Time. My favorite new artist is these n****s called DodeoD. They're from Netherlands. Netherlands? Yeah, these n****s is crazy. Y'all get a lot of overseas. We got a joint album with them. They so ill. We just did an album called Shotguns in Hell. So that's gonna pop up. And that's out right now? It's coming like in the summer. In the summertime. Make sure y'all get that three chance motherfucking army. What's up everyone? I'm Ago Vodem. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers, Anchorman, Saturday Night Live and the Big Money Players Network, it's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day and I was like, and dad, I think I wanna really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings, I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place they come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

Is it about putting on the next artist? Or is it about setting off the next legacy right now? What's more important? It looks like a king can do. And the most dangerous thing to do is make another king. You know what I'm saying? That's deep. Just like J.A.P. J put us in position. It's the natural progression to put things in position. And you know, it goes both ways. Put some in position, but it gives you a way to fucking, you know, just fucking exhaust your talents in other areas and shit. You know what I'm saying?

Don't ask me that question. I don't. Consistency or continuing consistency? What was the question? You asked me. That's what I'm saying. You said that was a good question? No, no, no. The question I was saying is like, after all the things you guys done, to make somebody a star. You conquered music. You can't make a star. No, I'm saying, what is the next thing? What's the next thing? Yeah, what's the next thing? Because you guys conquered. Listen, the future is a mystery. And the past is history. But today is a gift.

This is Weezy WTF from Decisions Decisions. Ladies, let's talk about taking control of our sexual health. That's grown woman energy. You may think HIV affects someone else somewhere else. But the truth is, it's impacting our community. And some of us are being hit harder than others. Black women make up just 13% of the women in the U.S. yet account for nearly half of new HIV diagnosises amongst women. Taking care of ourselves is community care.
