Rick Ross joins Joe and Jada to discuss his Drake beef origins, his upcoming 'Set In Stone' album, his third bestselling book 'Renaissance of a Boss,' and his Verzuz battle with French Montana. The conversation covers his entrepreneurial ventures, real estate investments, and philosophy on hustling and legacy-building.
Insights
- Rick Ross attributes the Drake conflict to being mentioned first in a diss, prompting his competitive response—a straightforward cause-and-effect dynamic rather than deep-rooted animosity
- Ross's book strategy evolved from self-introduction (book 1) to entrepreneurial showcase (book 2) to real-time narrative of sustaining relevance after 20 years in the game
- Diversification across 30+ business partnerships allows Ross to command premium fees globally while maintaining street credibility through selective local appearances
- Beat selection and curation are underrated competitive advantages in hip-hop—many talented artists fail due to poor production choices, not lack of skill
- Affiliation lifestyle and loyalty networks create economic moats; being seen with successful figures multiplies individual earning potential across multiple revenue streams

He's a friend of ours. You know what I mean? Don't let that go over your head. When you think of today's guest, you think boss. You think empire. You think made-back music. You think mogul. You think mentor. You think visionary. You think of barfers. You think of career. You think author. You think hell of a farmer. They always try to discredit the black man. Did I say author? Serial entrepreneur. You think somebody who should get the culture. Serial entrepreneur. Serial entrepreneur. Because he's my man. I was just a speech impediment sometimes. Fucking hustler. Big hell of a real estate portfolio. You know what I mean? Learn about what I'm telling you. Real estate portfolio. You think downright one of the most hustling hustlers of this era. Mm-hmm. One of the biggest brands. One of the biggest car show pool parties that people die for. Ladies and gentlemen, Rose and the Bill. Them give it up. Much love family. Much love family. Much love. Much love. No. Thank my brothers for having me here, man. We family. Definitely. And so sometimes it's hard interviewing family because there's so much to talk about. You know, we got a line with DJ Khaled. DJ Khaled put me on to Miami. I was living in Miami. I've been living in Miami for 20-something years. And I used to see you in the clubs all the time. All the time. And then. The white seven? Yeah, I used to see him in the club room. I used to see him in the white seven before you. Before you had 88 cars. Mm-hmm. I used to see him every... Pretty much every night. We would go out in the clubs. I'd see Rose and then one day, you know, that hustling came out. And that shit was like... Dressed in peace to Chiquot. Better believe it. Pretty much DJ Khaled, he did the Fat Joe on to Rick Ross. Like, because he would play Fat Joe 1,000 times and then he'd stop playing that... 2,000. 2,000 times. Yo, hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling. I saw you in the hair. That's all you fucking heard. And the rest is just so many layers to you. And I want to salute you for inspiring me. Me and... Yeah, I came out before you, but when it comes to the hustle game, like, I've seen you risk your life hustling for the bag. Like, I literally... Like, is it true or not you caught like a seizure on the plane or some shit like that? Big time. Rose had a seizure and wake up and just asked, what a smoke at. Yeah. I need to weed. That's all I need. That's my thing. And make sure there ain't no ambulance tall motherfucker standing over me. That's the only problem there is. You know, they got the room out. You know what I'm saying? They got the UFOs out now. I'm thinking of the Yomba part, UFO. That nigga went beyond, but boy, they got the UFOs out. And you see that shit, James? The UFOs is real, but anyway, that's a whole another shit. But cause... Alien or UFOs? Or both? Cause you know you calling Wimby a UFO. No, no, no. They're gonna put that everywhere. DNA alien. I think I'm DNA alien too. Now that the truth came out, I might have like 2% if I do an incestory.com. Might be 2% alien. I'm keeping it. I'm too incredible at what I do. Like this shit we never lose. Like, I gotta be part alien. You might be because I saw your name on that list for the rich nigga pill to live 60 more years too. I'm trying. Hang with them. Yo, boy. I'm trying to live. They got my name on the list like that. You on the list. Like he trying to live 60 more years. You gonna get the pill to live 60 more years. Yes, I'm gonna do it. Yo, I'm gonna do it. I swear to God. I'm on the list. I wanna live. You gotta be on that list though. You know what I'm saying? No, I wanna be on that list. No, you want it. You want it. You on the list. You know the trick with the list, right? What? You gotta get your family on there. Who else? Who you gonna be with? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta give him a little piece of the pill. You know what I'm saying? You gotta get a couple of them. Ross comes home. He has something. He was in the hospital very serious. And for some reason his first destination, the whole world's your house, Ross, he comes to the studio. And it's me, Dre, and him, and he starts playing music. And Ross goes, so you know, they call me the greatest storyteller. I don't know if you've been seeing what's going on out here. You know, we're killing these niggas. I love it. Legendarily they got to arrest them. Don't stop. Yeah, and niggas is over there. Like the mother podcasters, they like wadcasters or something. Yo, I came with the new words. They in Beyoncé, the niggas is wadcasters. Niggas over there with the threats, right? Cause we throw these niggas over here. So Ross come up and he go, fentanyl. We looking at, like the nigga just came out of the hospital two hours ago, fentanyl. It's the pure substance comes from the hills in the lone. The very touch can get, I'm like, yo, this thing is starting to fit it all. Soon as he finish, I start going, Sam Pooce, Sam Pooce, Sam Pooce. So I saw something in the story. How we used to throw the Sam Pooce out to the feet of the dope. And I said, damn, and Drake said, yo, y'all going to try to out story each other. In this story. It's crazy. Niggas got a man paint that picture, man. Niggas got to paint that picture to build that bridge to the destination at all times. Even if a nigga land up in the hospital and can't speak, got the tube down his throat. The mind and the brain won't stop. The ambition won't stop. That won't stop until a nigga heart freeze. Now I respect that a lot about you, man. You're hustlers, hustlers. They don't got guys like you no more. They don't make them. Guys, they work like that. They got that work ethic like that. Every time I think I'm working too much, I'm like, yo, Rick Ross woulda took that bag, he the one out there. Nah, real shit. Brown bag legends. I'd be like, yo, that thing. Brown bag legends. Letting over there, that nigga in Dubai, he in the Prince house the next day he in Chattanooga at a barn. He take every, what is the, could you tell us? I know it's like probably like a secret. Hush, what's that? But what is like, you know, like me, if I get money on a certain level, I don't never take from down. I'd be like, yo, this is my number. I see you, you can't get what you're getting in Dubai and the Prince, you know, the grand opening of Carbone, what you're getting in Memphis at a bar. No, no, no. It can't be, so how do you? No, the numbers that, you know, let's say we go to Dubai, the numbers they give us to go over there is astounding. Then they'll give you another 50,000 to eat some camel meat, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And then when you come home, if I'm just chilling on a Tuzi, you can put me a little brown bag together, Rosé or slide through, because you gotta remember, I'm not just thinking about Rosé, I'm thinking about the 30 partnerships I got. So when I'm walking through somewhere, that's 30 businesses walking through with me. My other 30 partners see us, we stand in a penthouse that's 75,000 a night in Dubai, then we'll go to a barn in Augusta. Yeah, I watched it. Talk to these niggas, Rosé! Nah, the fucking plane broke down, you jumped on another one and went to the fucking, your plane caught a flight of some shit, you jump on another plane to the shot, sit this mother fucker, man. He ain't turning down a bag. We flew in, we landed, it had been raining, so when the plane landed, hit the runway, made a right, the wheel went into the mud. And you gotta stop right then, because if that wheel go into the, and if it go, if you take off and it fold up, you can fuck yourself up. So you gotta treat it like it's a major emergency. It was mud, so I jumped on another jet. We come Mr. Mounian. Man, that boy. We come Mr. Mounian. Yeah, that boy. That boy, man, you know, you get some people, they get a certain amount of money, they just stop or they wanna stop. Are they going hiatus? Or they going like, when you a hustler too. You know, I'm not saying you jumping the private flight, jumping on another one, dancing to this. You know, Rick Ross, Rick Ross is a different type of animal, but kiss you, hustling like a motherfucker too. Your kids and your family don't want for nothing, you get them everything they want. You out there bossing your ass too crazy. You know what I'm saying? This guy, Rick Ross? What happened, that's a boss? No, no, no. I ain't saying anything. All right, well, brother, I appreciate the flouch. I never used that word part, let me know kiss when I can say it. No, it's God. If anybody says, let me know. No, no, it's the guy right here. He'll show you, Paul. You'll let, you'll let me know. Yeah. Okay, if anything. And you got flags right in the truck, right there. Where the flags? The left side, you got some flags if you need it. Somebody say some shit. You vernacular, you know. No, I'm just saying, even if it wasn't, you know, I wasn't expecting to come from me, but if any, I ain't just letting you know if it's okay. I got you, I like, when this time, I'm gonna hit you one of these. I got you. You already know when it's a real moment, you need a real bottle. That's why we rock with 1800 tequila. These people been making tequila for 11 generations. That's a legacy. That's the OG status. They were the first to introduce Anejo. Set the standard before most of these brands even existed. And you can taste the difference for real. The 1800 Cristilino and Respa-Sato is what we've been on lately. Smooth, clean, elevated. No rough edges, just a premium pour that speaks for itself. You know when something is just built right, that's what this is. Real talk. That's just what it is. It's always around for the best nights, the wins, the celebrations. They remember that night's stories. Whether you're keeping it low key with the crew or you pull up to something big, 1800 fits every second. It ain't trying too hard, it's just as that. 1800 tequila, real legacy, real smooth. That's the move. I got you, son. Your lines up here, like, your shit is in pot. You born with that Billy D Williams shit up there. Like, your shit, you don't know. When you get a bid, you want your shit. Yeah, you're a freak, bro. I be like, yo, what's up? You know, I don't want the DJ Highland. You know, my driver came, my driver came. Damn, I'm like, nah, I'm bugging out with this story. I got a dream. Damn! Nah, one of my drivers came, the nigga had. You know, his bid is like small, but he had the fucking, um, that did. He winded the theory all the way up here, right? He went to the hospitals. But he had no idea here, so I tell him. So I tell him, what about the guy at the game? Oh, no, that nigga had a control. Yo, let me tell you something, nigga. Yo, nigga's got killed by the fall. First of all, you want to go there, this is Rose Eight. You didn't leave the driver alone. We go Knicks against the Phillips. Somebody at the game had a great painted elbow fade. I don't watch football. His shit was great. I don't watch football. Cece Sabatia, New York Nick legend, Hall of Famer and Sean Peck. Cece Sabatia is a pitcher for the Yankees. A legend. A legend. Oh, no, no, no. Cece Sabatia. I'm telling you a different story. Cece Sabatia goes to watch the football and the Giants against these niggas. They chased him and Peck out to the sprint and they were gonna fuck him up. Cece Sabatia. Yo, give him a break. If I see Dominique Wilkins and Dr. J, I ain't gonna run on them. Cece Sabatia, they chased his ass out the stadium. We understood that. The price of fame. Because I got the feeling I opened my door and it was like, where'd the mother fat, Joe? Suck my dick, nigga. Fuck the nicks. I said, holy shit. I said, go on intro. Like this was the first bit of turban. I swear to God, nigga, they ain't never tell me that in my life. I see yo, Joe, sports. I go to the door. They won't let me in. No intersection though. No, another door. This, this, this. I get down there. I start arguing with the white guy who's the nice guy. The white guy who tells you, sir, what's your ticket? You know, they're usually nice. Yo, sit down. Don't cheer like you're feeling on some shit when it comes to the sports. Legendary, right? Because I never been, I never had a problem in filling my whole career. My second biggest marker shot. I go like, yeah. And then you can pull up. He talking about, he had this shit. Nah, that wasn't rewind. That was like, Reggie or something. He had, somebody got to tell him, like, if your man's, listen, you know, we see that shit every now and then on Instagram. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We caught one in physical view. Real life sight. And we're arguing, we're arguing they had two OGs in front of us, look like real dudes. They was sitting right there, you know, and they was like, yo, Joe, y'all about to go, and we going back and forth, but I, I fuck him up. He don't even know the nigga in front of him with this shit. I said, yo, but your man's like, look at your man. Like, this is who you riding with. Another feeling straight out. I said, look at your man. Sit your man. They got tight. The man's got up the fuck away. I can't, he wasn't even with them niggas. I was like, yo, but your man's your shit. Yo, this the Philly fan. You the bro. That shit with the rent. He was trying to avoid the family. He kept moving down to get out of the light. So shit won't melt. He's embarrassing his family. No, the nigga, we not even, we can't, we're not even exaggerating. This shit was straight. Oh, what's the shit? Spray paint. Yes. Oh, Rich got it. Oh, you got it on tape? Well, we put it on the clip. But I kept fucking with the dude. The dudes are OG, they're like a hustler, real niggas, two dudes. They had nice seats. But he tried to start with me. I said, yo, but your man's though. He don't even know the nigga. I just kept saying, yo, man. They made them leave. They all left. Yo, look, niggas got up. He embarrassed to sit in. Niggas is like, yo, we out of here. Yo, he's embarrassed. Yo, this is what this is. That's what it was. This what you rap. He embarrassed to sit in. Yo, that nigga don't like me. Don't want to OG. He probably was like, yo, fuck that, Joe. Nah, it's like. The whole Philly don't like this right now. Philly don't like us no more. Fresh off that verses. How was it? Because how's it? Where was y'all at in the Apple studio? Apple studio. I wasn't. The energy looked like it was nice energy in the middle. No, French, my brother. No doubt. That's my dog, you know what I'm saying? So we just went up there and shined together. No doubt. That's what it's supposed to be. Those type of plastic niggas. Yeah, go show them your sneakers and your jewels. That's it. Run name majors. That's it. Shit too easy. You know what I'm saying? Man, you got the Renaissance of a boss. You, how many best sellers? Which is this? Number two, three, four. Man, this is actually my third release. I got the young legend, Neil Beckerman here. The one that actually do to put the pen down when we just having the discussions. Neil, come over here and join us. Come on, Neil. Yeah, but Neil, what's up, man? You know, I was shit right here, man. You already know my brother, appreciate you coming out. Welcome to the couch, my brother. You know what I mean? This is the third release right here, the first two best sellers and this one right here is just most definitely just me in a free spirit zone. No doubt. Now, Neil, tell us what is like sitting down with boss and then, you know what I mean? He's kicking it and you gotta put that into visualization and also into some good stuff. and also into some good dash lines for people to read. You know a lot of these rappers can't read. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. So Ross was a whole different beast, right? Cause my first book was the Gucci Man book and he was locked up the whole time. It was a great book. Thank you, thank you, very generous. So you, and so, you know, that was done a lot of times over the phone and you get 10 minutes or where he's in the feds. So the phone time, it was super limited. So, but on the plus side, that made it really productive because when we talked, he only had this time. Then I get with Ross and I could be living with Ross for six months following him around and he won't say one word to me. One word to me. No, no, no. That was only for one reason. I told you what it was. Thought you was the feds. But I don't know. Thought you was the fed. Yeah, he got a shake. Thought you was the fed. I thought he was a lot of things. You're a big fit. So many, when you came up with that, no, no, you gotta realize when you sign that shield and you get a big check and then somebody new come around and they sitting there, niggas digging. You know what I mean? I said, yo, I used to think my wife was the feds. When I met her, she was too beautiful for me. I said, damn, he setting me up. That's true. He gave me a Columbia bag. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I had a money. That's a flat. He ain't no bro, that he getting it now. For about a good 12 years till I noticed the statue of limitations. He did enough crimes with me. I said, I fucking shit, the feds no more. Though she was the feds. But so how do you put it in his words? So, look, so this particular book, right, was different from the first two and very different from any book that I've done before, right? Like what I'm used to is trying to figure out a story that's already happened, right? Joe, tell me about your life. Jada, tell me about your life. And I'm getting a story that's already happened. By the third book, I'm like, what else do we have left to talk about? And that's when it kind of becomes like, oh, I'm not figuring out what the story is. And then we're putting it in your words and putting it out there. We're making a story in real time, right? We already talked about in the first two books, everything that already happened. We got to make, and that's why this one was so exciting because we didn't even know how it was gonna end. It's all unfolding in real time, right? The book starts with him getting a book deal. And it's like, what the fuck are we gonna write about? And it's just really just about that process, right? And with Ross, like I said, Ross and I have never one time sat down across from each other, put a recorder on the table, and I ask him a series of questions and he gives me answers. That's not how this guy operates. So I just got to be around and absorb it all. I got to be around, absorb it all. Huge stories. He's gonna resent us so. And then afterwards, we put it together, we talk about it, we change it. But with him, it's so different. I've never interviewed, you know what I mean? I've never asked a series of questions. I've just been around and taken it all in. Therapy. He taught you some therapy. Renaissance of a boss, man. Renaissance. I'll tell you what it read like for you rappers that can't read. And for the rappers that can't read, that's fucked up. We got to, you know, read this fundamental. But for Rose, my first book to me was about me introducing myself, not just as an artist, but on a personal side of who I was for anybody that didn't know me. The second book was me coming from an entrepreneurial standpoint. Me having X amount of partnerships, me investing, this, me this many franchises, this many, this, this many, that. This one was more like, yo, I'm 20 summers in a game. How do I continue feeding that fire and allowing it to burn? Not just where I'll be recording music, but actually giving the streets something I feel they need. You know what I'm saying? So that's what this book about, you know what I'm saying? Still waking up every day and still feed that fire and doing it in a major way. And not just winning, but winning bigger than you know, you could ever really put on a table and expect. Hey, you also. Thank you, brother. Yeah, of course. Thank you, y'all. Appreciate it. Thank you, my brother. Yo, Ross, man, I'm looking at your beard it's so flawless. You got, this thing got to shave his ears, man. You got to put them on. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. I'm just keeping it up up with you. What? What? Which one? Which one? Yo, that thing got to go. I ain't no, I missed the flag. You said he got to shave his ears. You got to shave his ears. That thing got to go. No, no, no, no. No, the mustache he had the last time I seen him it scared me. And I told him I asked him on personal level, let it grow all out. And he did it for me. My brother's here. Ha! You. The mustache out in his ears. No, that mustache looked like you be on forensic files, episode or something. You see what I'm saying? We got a mustache. He ain't here today, but we got a guy that didn't get a mustache. He's a sick one. Yeah, we got a mustache. No, you got to watch him. And then you got that shit. No, you got to watch him. I watch him all the time. No, no, no, no, you got to watch him. Yo, I don't fucking trust that guy. No, no, no. I tell you that all the time. I'm looking at him. You know the raw mustache is scarier than a Poo Shice. It's got all type of tacos and shit in this mustache. Oh my God. That motherfucker out here with that shit. Raleigh Fingers. Yo, ah, yo, Freddy. What's up, brother? I'm Freddy in the building. Freddy pulled up. You want me to talk about? My nigga, Freddy, right there. You know your man one time tried me. What's my man's exclusive thing? See, you don't remember that, huh? He tried. I know him. He don't know how to go out and hit. That's what we did. That's okay. That's not the way we pay. We pay. Yeah, we do. But one time he told me I was jacking his style. I don't know if he remembers that. I was at a fashion show with him. He said, yo, you've been jacking my style with it. I said, wait a minute. What? I had to pull up a rap video 20 years old and show them with the go yard shit or leather from head to head. I said, bro, there's no way I'm like, I've been doing this for 20 years. That was 15 years ago conversation I'm having with you. I said, yo, this was 20 years ago, my nigga. I had the go yard. I turned the go yard bags into fucking the whole outfit. I mean, you gotta be kidding me. He thought I was jacking this shit. He said, yo, man, you know, I've been watching you. You've been jacking my shit lately. I said, Papi, you got this shit fucked up. I've been doing this shit. I'm 88, but you're man, he's a good guy, man. Great guy, great guy.

You know, you never done nothing wrong to me in your life. You know, in fact, I don't even just, I don't know how I could actually say that in reality. They say I cap on whatever they want, but you never did nothing wrong to me in my life. Like nothing. You never been a funny-style nigga. You never changed on me. You never nothing. You always been the same guy all the time. It just, when I was taking with, I didn't understand the Drake, Rick Ross speech. Right. Being you have such a catalog together, you all been together since day one, making hits together, this and that. Can you explain to me the origins of Rick Ross and Drake falling out? Like what made you say, yo, fuck that? I'm not rocking with him no more. Rose was mentioned. I was mentioned. Or you was mentioned first? First. First. Oh, so that's how it happens. So you just defend it yourself. It ain't even defending. You understand this homie mentioned Ricky Rose and Rose do what he do best. I go bad. I've been doing that a long time. Yeah, yeah. I've always enjoyed giving a nigga a spanking if you don't understand what's happening. It ain't that. Rose was mentioned. Damn, why would he mention Rose? Like I didn't, I never understood that whole like, I was like confused. That's one thing, this show on fire when you get little man right here, you ask him what made you mention Rose homie. That's it, it's that simple. Yeah, just like I asked you because I was confused. Yeah, that's what it is. What happened? And that's what, and that's what, and that's what, look at Kiss the Plain, and that's what real ones do. You address it and it's really too easy. Because I always thought, I always thought he with us. I never even recorded a song with him, but nothing. I always thought, yo, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I always thought he was with us. I thought he was with us. Like I'm like, you know, you gotta understand. We always, you know, we rocked with homie. At that time, Cash Money was in Miami. It was a positive thing we had going to Cali was the glue. You know what I mean? At that time when I was doing records like Aston Martin music, that was Rose saying, yo, Chrisette Michelle gonna do this half of the hook. And I'ma get, you know, at that time I got John Legend, the biggest R&B motherfucker in the game at that time on Speed Out. You understand? Yo, I'ma put John Legend on this one too. That's Cali in the background. Yo, it's a little dude, his name is Drake. Let him do it. You know, and cool. Just John Legend at the time. This, yo, we do it. And it was just a genuine vibe. When it went left, hey man, that's for them to figure out. I ain't figuring that out. You know what I mean? And shit, it's really small talk to me. Once you mention Rose's name, I'ma enjoy it. I'ma enjoy coming up. That's just me by the pool, BBL Drizzy. You know, you know, nigga know you had the tummy tuck, the nose reduction, all that shit. That shit, that shit. Yo, bros, I didn't- No, I'm giving you what you asked for. No, I'm giving you what you asked for. Rose can't let you down. Oh, the flag. I can't do that. No, I won't let you down. No, I won't let you down. Cause somebody called me some Moabella. I'ma give my brother what he needed. Let me ask you another question, right? Too easy. Right? Too easy. I know you a partner in Bel Air. Did you sell some of Bel Air, like some of the equity or something in the Bel Air? Of course not. So you still own the same pr- y'all never sold at all? No man, shout out to my big homie Brett Barish, man. So you're not like building a brand and then you sell it and then you... So that never happened. Not yet. No, once you tap out, you go somewhere and you go and create something and start building something new. You ain't gonna sell it and shit, keep going. Yeah. I thought it's a soul, it's soul. You know what I'm saying? We still, we still look Bel Air. And I've seen the new yacht, you was like... I know it's hard to explain. No, it's hard. Yo, Rose. I get it. Yo, Rose, it's hard. That's why I think the writers might be the fairs and something, it's like, I get it. I get it. I'm a little stage fright. I'm gonna be honest with you. Like I got, you know, I live in a... You know, I got a couple of properties, let's be clear. I live in a big house. The wife want a bigger one, right? And I'm getting a little, for no reason. I'm getting a little stage fright. Get it, get it, and get it. Because the next one is so big and it's only two people. I'm like, yo, do we really need some shit? Of course you do. Who talks event? You don't talk about it. You keep getting bigger and bigger. Go more and more. Yeah, that's the motivation. Don't do that. Don't do that. When your wife see this show, she gonna... No, this is what I'm trying to say. I'm in the process right now. Bigger? Yeah, I gotta go bigger. Yo, your fault. Fuck he saying. Go bigger. Go bigger. Go bigger, huh? Yeah. That's gonna motivate you that much more. That's what it do for me. The house already big, man. No, no, no. All two people. What, we gonna ride scooters in the house? This shit is slap five? You could. This shit too big. Why not? Just go walk around the neighborhood and not care what. That's all you do? You never get stage fright? Never. You remember I was shocked when Callit bought that big ass fucking house? Never. I see your Callit, man. Are you sure? Never. He was like, yo, and Callit's one guy I worry about, which I know not to worry about. But he's one guy check up your Callit, you know, because I sit there, didn't he? Spending so much money. I'm like, yo, how do you do? Like, I know, you know, we all get money, but at least I think of my limitations, right? Like, so I'm like, yo, there is no limitations. There is none. You know what I'm saying? By the watch, Rich. By the watch today. By the house, Rich. By the house? Yeah. By the house, Rich. By the house? Yeah. By the house, Rich, I bought my crib. I'm gonna buy that house because it's Ross. And I'm gonna put Ross's name in the house. And one of these fucking boys, I'm gonna eat it. Nah, nah. No, hey, hey, hey, this is cute. Nah, it's you convinced me. You're fighting the power. No, by the crib. I bought my crib for $37 million. I put $25 more into it. Before it was done, I had two offers off the rip for $100 million. Just stop what you're doing. But my neighbor right across the street is spending $1.5 billion on his crib. His name is Ken Griffin. He bought eight, like eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, knocking everything down. It's a great investment. So my crib would be worth, I'm sure, easily $350,000,000,000,000 in two or three years. For no reason. It's Carl Carl. I've been trying to fight the power. Do it. Do it. You know, I'm into blowing the bag. I tell them all day, I blow the bag. That ain't blowing the bag though. You ain't blowing the bag. No, blowing the bag is something totally different. That's when you fucking the money up. When you getting in the real estate of Miami is the hottest motherfucking place in the world. They can build them cars. They can't build that corner no more. They got to buy that corner. They got to buy that lot. Right now they got a house up. She try to make me buy that shit. He got a hundred bodies. He serve a hundred lives. That's it make me feel like, damn, I'm going to have to go back to Africa, China, maybe right now I'm good. On my crib, I got money in the bank. I'm so good. And that's it going to put me back on that. Yo, Fat Joe, how's the other year? Yo, can we do Georgia? Nah, I need to get in the arctic doing this show for some fucking Eskimos. Oh, go get it. Go get it. Go get it. That shit right there. Go get it, man. All right. I'm telling you, go get it. Ricky Rosane going to tell you. My uncle Dan be like, yo, my fingers feel like I need to get in the arctic. You got me hyped right there. This shit got me hyped right now. My palms are itchy. I said, yo, I got to go for it. You know what I'm saying? Fuck it, right? Because I'm like, when you pull up the Fat Joe crib, you want to feel like, when I say you said, yo, Rosane, you don't pull up to the crib. When you pull up, you be like, all right, this Fat Joe crib. Like, you're supposed to open the gates, pull in shit a mile long, shit big. I'm going to tell you how I think though, that don't define a nigga money now. That's just like me. When I'm standing on the outside of the ocean, you could see some of the richest motherfuckers in the world pull up in a boat that short. So you know what I'm saying? I don't look at it like who got the biggest boat, got the most paper, because it'll be a motherfucker like Ken Griffin. I'm telling my worst 60 Bs going by just, and I'm like, damn, look at the homie right there. He just, he in the paddle, he in the canoe. Oh man, some small shit. He went in a canoe like that. And it's a motherfucker who own a 300 foot, you know, multiple of them. So you know, the mindset different, but I just believe in really investing that shit. Rosane going to run it. I'm going to run it. I'm going to throw the dice. Yeah, yeah, you definitely do. You definitely throw the dice. I seen you do shit. Your life is so amazing, Ross. No. I live vicarious to you. I see you. I said, man, if I was single, I'd be living like Rick Ross, man. I mean, look at that. I said, man, I'm just saying, I said, this be a fucking problem out here in these streets. The big boys would be tearing this shit up. We got to, we got home. I'm nice and home on that couch, right in my graffiti, minding my business. I'm minding my business. I love it. Rosane, what's new? You know the verses, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like friends doing verses like that. Like, you know, I try to start with Jaru for no reason. They did it the right way. They didn't do it. But I was threatening them and all that. No, but I like, you know, I'm a sucker for a fight. You know what I'm saying? I already knew French and Ross. I knew what that was. Y'all got like seven song hits together too. So I was like, all right, that's, I know what that is. That's going to be easy. You went out there with Dipsay, even though you get along with them, you went out there with the venom. They started. See? They fucked up. My gosh. You heard, Russ, they started with your chest. My gosh. What did they say to get you like that? Because you were easy going guy. Why didn't get you, you had to. Why are you doing this? You were just front and center. I'm in the crowd. You heard everything that I heard. They told me we wasn't from, we wasn't home. It started like that. This ain't your backyard. Y'all ain't from your head. This that. Yeah. Meanwhile, it's your neighbor in coconut grove. He's my neighbor in coconut grove. Fuck it, man. Shout out to the niggas down in Miami. What's up, man? I'm in the niggas. So when I moved to Miami, New York was so mad. Like, so mad. Why you saying that? Tell me. Something to talk about. Because no. Not how much people wanted wish they could move there. That's what I was saying. So mad. That's a great investment. Like, you know, it felt like, and you want to back and forth. This guy here, my whole life, he's the only rapper in New York City. I bumped into little Wayne at the supermarket more in Miami than I bumped in. He's the only rapper I would bump into. He be going to the weed spots. He go to the stick ditch. Other than that, I've never seen a New York rapper in New York. I have it. I'm sorry, guys. I don't know. Fat Joe is in every boat down there. New York rapper stickers on it. No, no. I'm telling you to do it. Fuck what I'm doing, though. No. Niggas ain't out there. They ain't been outside. They ain't been outside. Niggas ain't at the sneaker spot? No. Niggas ain't down there to spot eat. No. Niggas ain't eating the mother fuckers. No. I can sell fried rice down in the burrow. I'm not saying Niggas ain't real. What I am saying is when I drive down 125th, 145th Brooklyn, this is that. It's only me. I'm going to tell you, it's hard for me to believe that because me growing up, when I turned on Y'all on TV, we rapped all over the hood with Niggas. No, no. I'm not talking about the TV. I'm talking about what you did. No, no, no, no. Niggas is on the corner. I'm not talking about the party. They coming to the party. No, not the party. I'm just saying bumping into a New York rapper, it don't happen. That's crazy. And I'm outside. Every both day, every taxi driver, anybody you name, Jamaican joint, Spanish joint, they know fat Joe. I'm outside. When I go to Miami. No, I believe you. Because when you're in Miami, nigga, you there. When I say I'm in Miami, it was almost like a cemetery, like a nigga died because he was the only one they see on the corner. He's the only one to get out and argue with niggas and talk shit. He the only one we see. They lost their presence. I'm like, y'all, this nigga done life. What kind of shit is this? This nigga, like, I was, it wasn't you, so you didn't catch the backlash. I was catching. So they was dumb tight. I never left him. Now you get the ultimate, you get the ultimate New York versus. And the first thing he say, it ain't the niggas that moved to Miami. I thought he was shooting me. I was in the crowd. I was in the New York fire. I made my first album in Miami. I fucking love my people. You said, but when in the mecca of New York, and you telling me y'all ain't home, y'all ain't from here and you don't live here presently. That's what made you say that was a spark. That was a nice thing to spark. But hip hop. I go to the restaurant in Miami. Every rapper lives there. Based on that competitive spirit. This is a competitive sport. So if it wasn't French, my brother, my little homie that we don't, you know what I mean? I spent the night in the studio together. You know what I mean? Just so long. It easily could niggas could be talking slick. It would have been bad. I could picture Rosie. It would have been too easy. No, no, Rosie in the bad one. But I go to car boning. I bump into Norrie. I bump into this one. I go to the gas, the fucking car wash. I bump into Cam. All these niggas wanted me to die. Like, yo, he moved to Miami. This nigga's not the real one. Why he moved down there? All the niggas live down there now. Everywhere I go, New York rappers, New York rappers, New York rappers. Hey, everybody. I was just up on the shit way early. Niggas invested, though. Yeah, that's how I go. What about New Music? New Music. They could pre-order the album right now. Set in stone. Set in stone. Yeah, it's out June 12th. June 12th, y'all. Set in stone. Rosie, your best verse to you. Your best verse. Kind of question. To you. I got one. I got a verse. That's your best. No, no. First, what is it? I got a verse to you. I said it's the shit with you and Kanye. What's that joint? Devil in the New Jersey. That was a beautiful moment without a doubt. For a lot of people, that shit was an emotional, passionate vibe. You know what I mean? But it just, for me, it depends on the mood of men. You know what I mean? I done said some shit, man. I done had fun doing it. What is your favorite verse? What do you think? Just coming off the top of the dome. You want to throw a flag? Too many. Don't fucking flash that. He's not one of few... I got one. My joint got too many for me. That's my favorite verse of my whole career. You got to know what your favorite verse is. You don't have a favorite verse. He has a lot. When I wrote my own speciality, it's not verses. It's projects. And I might depend on how I'm feeling. But for everything, it can be as old tapish. I got a section of this hymn in Raphael's head. He shit sunk everything every minute. One of my favorites is... I'm in it, in it, in it, in it, in it, in it. I'm in it, in it, in it, in it. In it, in it, in it, in it. But that's some of those... That's some of those Rosé B-Sides, man. And that's the thing. Sometimes those B-Sides mean more than the big records. I mean, it could be Tears of Joy, one of those verses for Tears of Joy. There we go. It's like I'm just tapping in, speaking to my mom and letting her know. You know what I'm saying? Thank you for supporting the boy. 1800. I love 1800. Rosé, keep it 1800 with me. You already know what it is. 1800. Rosé, the biggest... We doing this. ...of that Rosé. Man, we doing... We got to do it big at all times, man. We celebrate going out on tour, 20 anniversary. I'm going out with the orchestra. We going to do it big, you know what I mean? We setting it off in Miami, May 29th. Fly shit, big boy, heavy boy shit. I might got to come down there. I got to give you flowers that people always give you, but probably sometimes they, for some reason, might not. But your beat selection is out of this... It got to be one or one A. You never picked that bad beat ever. Ever. I'm talking about free styles and throwaways and shit. I don't know how. I don't know what your process. I don't know what you tell them, get me the special hard drive. Come live with me and make this. I don't know what the fuck you do, but this... You send me a beat one time. Appreciate it. Appreciate it, man. You send me a beat. That'd be Justice League. At this time. But the beat is so crazy. Look, he just sent me the beat. They gave you... They'll crack. He just sent me the beat with nothing. Me calling back, bro. Hey, boss, what are we doing with this? That's all he's saying. He getting all you money, kids. In hunger. We getting... And then the shit turned into a beautiful fucking... A beautiful record. I say, yo, this thing is the... A beautiful video. All you... Just think of all you money. And I got this verse on top. I'm saying, this thing is the... Anybody I've ever been a song with, this is the illest... Let me tell you. Everyone. Just all you money. My name is all you money. Because you do it in your sleep, and you pick great beats. I pick incredible beats, too. So it's one of the things... I know some rappers that would have had a hundred times better career if they knew how to pick beats. They're the greatest guys in the world. Not an easy thing. And people take it for granted. The fucking greatest... You know, I'm an artist. I know good. I never knew how to pick beats. If the wrong person... If the right person passed you the wrong beat, you think it's it. And that's it. That's it like an epidemic. You know, this is very old school. That's what I'm saying. The right person can pass you the wrong beat. And you just think, that's it. Because I'm passing you. This is very old school. That's what I'm gonna say. You give me the nigga at the gas station, pass you a hard drive, that fucking blowing shit. Am I right? Yes. Go ahead. I've been there. Where rappers invite me to their listening session. And I go there and they niggas is banging. Literally. Because, you know, New York, we was very exaggerated. Like, you remember back in the days when you talk about them MTV videos where niggas used to really dance and all that? So if a nigga on your dick, he running up the wall, banging his head, acting like this really incredible, like they doing too much. And I'm sitting there. They're like, yo, crack, what you think? The album really trashed my nigga. I'm sitting in the studio. I'm sitting there like this. Now, why they call it real? This is my problem in life. Why you call it real if you want the fake response? Don't call it real when you want the fake response. I'm sitting in the studio. Niggas is banging their head on the wall. I'm like, oh my God, this shit trash in my head. Like, Jesus Christ, can it get any wacker? You only wrong when you leave it, don't tell them that. Oh, no, I tell them, yo, you know, like you ain't touched the last five. Nah, they don't fuck with you. Yeah, they don't fuck with you. It was hate, yeah. It's called hate. That's what they were saying. No, when you tell them your honest opinion, then they, you hate, they don't fuck with you. All I got for you is honest opinion. I hate it. This game that abused me to only give you honest opinions. Okay, you know, all the way around, I see niggas, they, they, they getting, they, they, you know, this guy here, he's beefing with all the rappers. I have nothing to do with it. I'm a born again Christian. How do fat Joe know he going to end up with the nigga? And I'm going to be the nigga to smack his cheek off and tell that nigga to get the fuck up at me. He picked on everybody. I know somewhere along the line, I'm going to have to see this guy in hip hop. Okay, buddy, how you doing? Okay, you want your cheeks smacked off? Cry, the joke is over. Isolation time. Like get the fuck out of here with this. It's trying to tell you, don't call the real. Don't call the real when you want the fake. My fucking call me a studio niggas is doing the Benetton bag dance and shit. Bangin' off the wall. I'm like, yo, this shit, man. Like, yo, why, why do you do this to me? Like, why you bring me to this wack shit? Like... But look, I like what you said about the wack rappers that might get out of line and shit. Just imagine if I had the chance to slap 50 cent with this shit right here. Come on, man. This is a family show, really. No, I'm just saying. Just imagine that. That's a blessing. You had the chance to smack the wack rappers with that, you said? Imagine if I could just catch 50 cent with that. That back down. No. No, for real. I ran out of flags. We just talked about... No, no, no, you just mentioned it. Yo, I gotta give you what you need. No, I'm not talking about him. No, you were. No, I wasn't. Yeah, yeah, I caught that. The wack rappers running around. And then you get the... Bye! With the million dollar back end. You feel me? This that million dollar one right here. I caught that. No, I didn't say that. No, we was talking about blue. No, no, no, no. No, we caught that. We caught that. Yo, but let me tell you something. When you see your man Gunplay talking about, he wanna vibe with niggas and this and this and that, what's up with like... Niggas be going through things, man. Niggas be going through things. Niggas be going through things. You understand? Was that the first like Benedict Arnold on the team? Cause y'all keep a tight... Like I've had him. No, I gotta use the bathroom. I've had the defectors. I gotta use the bathroom. I gotta use the bathroom. What happened? No, no, no, no. Stay here. Stay here. No, no, no. You gotta realize, you gotta realize different niggas go through different things and everything gonna present itself at, you know, at the right time. I can't go no further than that. You know what I'm saying? But the wack nigga you was talking about, we should go back to him. You was talking about 50 cent, the wack nigga that gets you. I'm not even thinking about him. I was talking about a time when... No, I caught that. I caught that alley hood nigga. I caught that. I'm a donkey. You told me the alley, I'm a donkey. Niggas is Joe and Jada. Yo, Ross, stop. I'm a Wimbaya, nigga. Yo, yo, Wimbaya. Wimbaya. Wimbaya. Wimbaya. Rosé. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Ross, let me tell you something though. But you know, I have my share of defectors and what we call them, scrum to employees. Our niggas who used to be down, they find themselves outside the light. Cause it's a light. You know what I'm saying? I'm with Rick Ross. I'm just hanging out with Rick Ross. If I'm that guy, the book guy, I'm in the private. I'm eating no dirt. You on the jet, nigga, you on the jet. You on the move, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You might check. Niggas don't understand the affiliation lifestyle. Yeah. We going to the Philly game, you okay? You pull up. Skinny Joe got the fucking cheese steaks for you. The affiliated lifestyle, right? No, I'm just... I tell them that, so we got a little thing. We going to say something and this is not bad because I love everybody. But say, like I hear some guys, they work for Caled. They complain, yo, I worked too hard at this and this and that. I said, these niggas work too hard in a $60 million mansion. They work too hard on the G six. They work too hard at the fucking Grammy red carpet. They work too hard with the lobsters and states every day. Like, oh, like, oh, you're isolated in the Turks and take off. Like, I can't do it. So if, if, if, if I got to represent the labor unions, I can't represent them. Ross, you got the big shit. You know, when I was a kid, you run into the war, you get a chi chong. Spanish niggas call that chi chong. They'll put butter on your shit sugar. You hit a nigga with that shit. I never heard of sugar. That shit be like, that dog. But guess what? If and when, if and when it happened, I got the plug to get a nigga veneers done. I got a dentist office too. So a nigga too came out the whack rappers, anybody that can't read. I called that too kiss. You know what I mean? Who can't read? Mad rappers. They can't read. They just have to read off. Well, you know. We're starting with this book right here, the Renaissance book. It only makes sense. The only thing you can't do to kiss is put that fucking teleprompter that far away. I am here. I'm Ron West, 18 honey. O.K.C. You got the higher in the lower. O.K.C. You got the dis, this motherfucker. Don't make it last. I'ma make you read the rest of the mother fucker. No, no, no. Yeah. Rose, man, I'm so proud of you. I see Freddie here. You make, because you, every time I worried about you, you proved me wrong. So like, you bought this big ass house, Evander Holyfield shit. And I'm like, what the fuck is like. Rose doing? How many people would fit, how many people could sleep in this house in Atlanta? 75, maybe? What the fuck? And Rick Ross is there with two, three people, right? So what I'm saying is that shit. I'm like, yo, this thing is bugging out like why he bought this house. Next thing I know, you throwing the car show with Freddie and that shit ran pat, making money out the wild. I said, yo, Rose say always, always find a fucking way. I mean, that's genius. Like when did you say, yo, I'ma let the whole community in my house. Like, wait, to me, I don't throw parties. I don't even talk to my neighbors. Well, you to throw a thousand, two thousand people in your house. Eight thousand, ten thousand. Yeah. It was actually 12,000. Yeah. You gotta be creative. When you, when you got somebody like 57, Freddie Billing, your old school was easy to get a half a million dollar tap. And after you do that a few times, you gotta find a way. You know what? Freddie, let's get somebody together by June. You feel me? And so we just said, let's, let's do it in the front yard. You know what I'm saying? We put it together. We made it happen. June 13th is the fifth annual. Oh shit. That's a royal slap. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For no reason. I had to down with the pink shit on. It's like, yo, let me tell you something. You missed the royal slapping. Have coming. Yo, they're going to hit you with the bouquet. We beat up this guy one time boss. That's your limitation. We beat up this guy. He was like, super bro. I jumped up. He was like 15, but we jumping up. Everybody, bang. The minute he turned, bang, everybody get one off on him. That nigga went like this and caught me. Bang with the back. Bang. I was like, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo. I see the fucking urge out that bitch. Get him. I'm like, don't let that nigga go. Because if he catch one of you, they, y'all don't want this. That nigga hit me with the bang. I said, oh, the virgin trick. The fucking stars was going to school. I tell you that story all the time, Rich. They didn't call me with the back end. You catch a nigga with that. What? Lecture five. The thing is I can't wear it in the strip clubs. The girls just want to suck it. You know what I mean? I asked them, don't put it all the way down your throat. Hell. No, for real. It ain't that serious. No, no. For real. You go to my Instagram. I say, yo, yo. That's... Ah. Let me tell you something, Ross. I watch you and I say, damn, he in love this time. Two days later, divorce. The line, this shit be like this. J-Roo with the crack thing on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He get the little ball alert with the fucking crack in the middle. It's over. Rick Boll, I was like, God damn, this guy, Rick Boll. Yeah, boy, you a fly nigga. Let me tell you something, bro. They put some shit on Instagram. I agreed with them. They put all the fat guys, Ross, Pony, Biggie, Heavy D1. I mean, for that, whoever that genre, they say, who's the flyest fat nigga ever? I'm a salute, Heavy D. I ain't gonna... I seen all the comments. I salute all the fat niggas, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're being... You're being Heavy D. I ain't gonna lie. He inspired me. No, Heavy D was a fly nigga. He had that Cherokee back then, too. Bro, they was a young nigga. I seen that Cherokee, but I already knew. Whatever we gotta do to get a Cherokee, we with it. You need that, right? He inspired me like crazy, but you, you done inspired me. You, you done inspired some fat niggas worldwide, man. Salute, nigga. They ain't... Whatever they had in the niggas, we didn't inspire you. They was Rose, J. Nigga, me ain't inspired, nigga. This nigga, Ross, the L is one of my hours, too. I'm in my... I might've went one or two, charted. He called me up. Good shit, my nigga. Go get you a big stinkin' lobster with extra butter sauce. He ain't lying. It's the first thing he ever told me. Let's see, yo, Rose, I met you. Let me tell you something. I'm inspired by success I see from other homies from different places. That's just the genuine Rose way of movin'. I don't care where you from. If you nigga, whatever it is, we ain't trippin' on nigga, which you is. Nigga, it don't matter. If you hustlin', you hustlin'. That's where you from. That's your race. That's your creed. That's your color. You understand? And in the hip hop game, that's just like me. Off the camera, niggas would love to say, I personally hate drink for life, nigga, would you? Hey, nah, homie, we not gonna make it that. That wouldn't be genuine. If a nigga step out of line and you got a chastisim, that's what you do. But we not finna make that until a dog ain't took no dope from me. Dog don't owe Rose no paper, you know what I'm sayin'? Nigga just, he moved the wrong way. Don't let the Grammys get you fucked up in the streets. It's a difference. I made music for the streets. I never necessarily went out and looked for a Grammy. That wasn't ever my goal. The numbers speak for Rose. I'm a fan of both of you. Of course. Ain't no one with that. Drake's here. Ain't no one with that, nigga. And I'm just hoping everybody increased the peace. Nah. You just said it. Nah. We ain't doin' that. We ain't doin' that, nigga. I'm giving Joe Crack what Joe Crack asks for. The wack rappers, the nigga 50 sit. I never said that. You threw me the alley hoop. You threw me the alley hoop on 50, nigga. Come get it, 50. Oh, fuck you. What they call him, nigga? I didn't say that about 50 sit, man. Yeah, you did. Don't do that. I had a whole look. Look, let me be clear. I don't have to, but I'll be clear. For the record, I definitely wasn't thinking about 50 sit. I was thinking about some old school rappers. I don't want to say who. Y'all are forceful. Who? It was the old nigga. It was some old niggas, man. It was some friends of mine that back in the day, they had the game in the chokehold. And then they got a big album deal. They got their first big check. And they fly. Man, everybody to the sit. No. It was G-Unit. It was them niggas. The nigga with the dog cheek. What's that nigga name? Uncle murder. That nigga cheeks way darker than his forehead. I don't know what that nigga went through. He need that rewind skin cream nigga. Them niggas ain't getting no money. Neither Rose know. Rose know. I caught the alley hoop. My nigga. No, I didn't do it. I went by. I'm not that nigga. My sit PG 13. What I'm talking about inspiration. When I see Rick Ross, I think inspiration. I don't know. I don't know. I think inspiration. Come on down. Let's keep it real. The nigga cheeks dark. I'm out of this. The world's watching. You want to say I inspired that talk. You did. You want to say that shit. I caught the alley hoop on the niggas. No, I went by it. I didn't give you that alley hoop. I went by it. I did. And good luck to the city. I say OKC in the next one. Rose saying that. Who's going to win though? OKC. Dang. We just put the money up. Catching the alley hoops. I think let me tell you something. I really think you guys man. I lived in Miami. You guys hate the next man. I don't know. No, that ain't true. I'm in the studio every night. No, no, no, no. That ain't true. No, no, no. Tracer hate him. No, no, no. Drain no haters. No, no, no. Oh, you blowing off Philly. There ain't no guy. Wasting it to Detroit. Miami niggas fuck with the nicks. Niggas fuck with the nicks. The nicks, you got to understand the nicks culture always been A1. Niggas always been fly nigga. Y'all should always been fly nigga. Thank you brother. You know what I'm saying? That's why Drain hates so much. Man, the whole studio. No, you got to give props to the heat though. Three rings. Niggas three rings. You know what I'm saying? Shout out to the heat. You know what I'm saying? But he just ain't hating. Who's your favorite heat player of all time? Of all time? Yeah, of all time. D-Way. D-Way. D-Way. Crash. We called him Crash. I love D-Way. I got him in the club when he first came to Miami. Crash. The dude who was flash. He switched his, uh, what? Wade County. Yeah, Wade County. I don't know if I'm talking about it, but it was Wade County. You know when we called him Wade County? What? We called it, you know, that was Wade County. That's what I'm trying to say. Now I'm going to say besides D-Way, who's like an obvious one, um, but that nigga, um, we get his son not fucked, Bam. Get out of here. No, don't do that. No, no, no, no. Bam ain't getting so old. If you're going to say D-Way, you're going to say the burn James. Tim Hardaway. Tim Hardaway is the icon. Tim Hardaway. We salute him all the way. To this day, they're doing it. They can salute Tim Hardaway. Tim Hardaway. We salute him. He was cold. We salute him on his own morning. On his own morning. Yeah. But Tim Hardaway. Shot with his swag. Shot with him. We want to ring with Big Shack. Shout out to Shack. No, I'll check. Let me tell you something. Man, y'all got wind. Y'all got rain. Come on. You better tell us something. You better say something. No, I got love. I'll tell you that Shack story one time. No. But I have a friend, Naked. I used to work at Drop Studio in Manhattan. And one day I'm supposed to meet Drop at the studio. And I walk up in there and it's shit. It's pitch black. And I'm like, and it's a shadow over Naked. This big sitting down. Diesel. Naked. I said, that's it. He got me. He came to kill me. I ain't had a hammer on me. Nothing. I said, yo, I'm done for you. This Naked turned around right here. So I'm looking for the light switch and shit. I turned the fucking light switch on and shot. I said, yo, Diesel, what's up, brother? What's going on? He said, wanted to tell you first, big fella, they just traded me to Phoenix. I'm like, Jesus Christ. I thought this nigga was going to murder me in this fucking studio. All I saw was a fucking shadow with Shack. He's a big motherfucker. She killed O'Neil. But Shack, I'm going to say to him hard of way because D-Wade is just like, it's too obvious. So I'm going to just try to give him a little. I'm not mad at that because Tim Hardaway is the icon and the nigga salute the legends and the icons. I'm not mad at that at all. I fuck with Tim Hardaway. I think the next is going to win it all, guys. I think it just feels like it, guys. Let's go! We can make us the light wager off the camera. We can make us just a light light. Nothing crazy, you know what I'm saying? Some light. That is G8, man. They got a real good team, but I think we got a real good team too. I do. Yeah, I think OG getting hurt gave us a chance to see everybody else play. Everybody put in the minutes. Your man finally woke up. What's his name? Deuce. He had eight threes. Niggas been screaming, Deuce for the whole year. He ain't been hit one basket. It finally makes sense now. That motherfucker. He had surgery, man. Let the man heal up and get right, man. You're rich. Thank God that man was shooting good. I was off the Deuce. I was done. I was off the Deuce train. He was shot. I was off the Deuce train. I was like, yo, it's time to, you know what I mean? Yo, Freddie, what's up, boy? 57 Freddie in the building. 7 Freddie. Freddie, you got shot how many times? 8K, 47. No, no, that was real talk. Nine times. Nine times with some shit. These bullets is this fucking big, man. You make God love you. Yeah, Freddie's in the big. You still a fly, nigga. Still pull up. Get money with Rose. That boy's stomach looks like a motherfucking roadmap. Well, I tell these niggas all the time. I tell you, Calla, today I'm driving over there. He talking to me. I said, man, let me tell you something. I tell you about it. He don't let me talk. Calla won't let you talk. I tell you, Calla, you're God's child. God loves you so much. You have a beautiful family. You got so much money. It feels like you can't even run out. Amazing. You're so blessed in this world. The skies is blue. The sun is out. The disc. Calla, man, you so fucking blessed. Some people God's children. You wouldn't be here if you wasn't God's children. Nine times with an AK-47. Nine times with an AK-47. We was already buying the fuel. His rope, his watch. The one that was going to hit him right in the center of his chest. His hand caught that. That's why his hand exploded. You got two fingers over there. Thank God it didn't hit you the way it was supposed to. Big time. No, that's your crazy. I see Freddie all the time. I say, damn, man, Freddie, man, he got it. God love you, man. He's spending your life. AK-47 shit. That's fucking Iraq shit. Afghanistan. You know what I'm saying? You got a story to tell. When you writing a Freddie book. I'm pretty sure he'll answer directly. I told him shit. I told him you got a few books coming up. Yo, let me tell you something. He got a few books coming up. Yo, I went, we almost going to rap, but I went through depression. You know, I lost my sister, my best friend, big partner, and my grandfather, like the same week or two. And I was like, this was too much for me. And I was the boss, and so I had a lot to deal with. And so I had to go therapy. You know what I'm saying? And when I went to therapy, the whole time, I thought I was getting, that's expensive. I thought I was getting a jerk. And the lady would just let me talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. And then her form of therapy, I realized when I snapped out of the depression is she made you figure it out yourself. She like, she'll talk to you, to you figure it out yourself and you over the depression shit. And so you got to realize that, you know, I don't know why I explained that story, but I'm going to be out. It's a part of the therapy. Yeah, the therapy. Speak it. Speak it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She convinced me to figure out myself. She wasn't telling me like, all right, you got to do this or here's these pills or here's this. She would hear me out every week. And then to the point of where I heard myself, and I was like, all right, we got to switch this shit up and get up out of this shit right here. Big turn. You know what I'm saying? So that's the point. Like yesterday was my first mom's day without my moms. That was hard. Sorry to hear that. My brother heard it. I ain't even going to lie to you. That was always, I went to the store. The niggas had me crying in the car, whole love, mama. They only play to mama. Your niggas in here like you crying to yourself. And so I didn't feel like Mother's Day. You know what I'm saying? And the people celebrating their wives, there's mothers and this and this and that. Me, I watched serial killer movies yesterday just to make me forget it was Mother's Day. Because shit is hard. It's traumatizing. You know, but that's where we at when it checked us out. It's called Renaissance of a Boss. Renaissance. The album is called Set in Stone. Set in Stone. The pre-order, the album right now is sitting in the streets in the June 12th. The book, yeah, the book is out. This is actually tomorrow. Yeah. When you see this, the book is out. By the time you see this episode, the book is already out. Let's make it another bestseller. Another bestseller. This ain't that. That ain't this. Track it. Make some noise for Rosé. Yeah.
