It's your boy Jada. You know what it is, the Joe and Jada show. Every show, legend, every show, iconic. Not iconic. You know what I mean? Today is, I'm not having the best of days, but I think we're going to finish up strong. That's what I mean. That's right. When you're thinking today's guests, you think of bars. You think of headstones. You think of stadium shakers. You think of controversy. Think of somebody able to overcome controversy. Get back to the back. You think of a great father. You know what I mean? Let's never leave that out, because they always tend to leave that out. You think of a great father. You think of a great cook, a great chef. Get busy in the kitchen. You think of somebody you probably would have never thought of as skills behind the camera to direct and create visuals that he wants to bring to life. It's going to make him a jack of all trades. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for my brother, the baby. That's the introduction of the sense from the moment. I appreciate it. It's a pleasure to be here. If you watch the show, he don't give everybody the type. That was a rollout. That was an extended clip. That's what he deserves. You know what I mean? There's not many of us left. We got to hold each other now. You know I was with you and I had just left you in the airport and I bumped into the guy. What's the guy? He was jerking off on the plane. What's my plane? Fender. Throw what? Throw what? It was the same day in the airport. I left you out of my brother's safe. You saw me in that flight? Jesus Christ, I got a confirmation. On the way out, we was on the same flight. You was on the same flight? No, not the one. I was in the airport. I said, what's up to you? Yo, what's up? My brother's safe flight. Overseas with someone. I think Dubai is somebody I don't know. But I bumped into him. Fender, Fender, Fender. And the next thing I get home, I see him on the news. Jerk Yandin went on watch. Fender, Fender, Fender. Fender, Fender. Yo, we never going to leave him. Are you ever going to let him live that the hell, man? Leave him alone, man. He got caught in the moment, man. You got caught in the moment. You got to let him live. You got to leave him alone. Sooner or later, you got to give him a... Yo, you got to give him a break. That's the last one. I'm not going to... Try and get back on the right path. He dropped a nice record. He dropped a nice record recently, too. So I got nothing but love for him. The baby... The baby up in here, you know me, I always say he's uncancelable. He's almost like Dave Chappelle. When they say he cancer, I'm like, hell. You know what? It's certain people... You can't throw that shit on them. It's certain people. You can't... God's a real God. You know he ain't a rat. You could try to call him a rat, but don't nobody really believe it. Guys, you throw certain dirt at them. A guy like me looking me like, nah. That shit ain't real. And so when... they want you to fall to the noise, to the cancer and all that. So you in there, I watched it live. So me and my daughter was watching on the thing and I seen it and I didn't know it was going to be as big as it was. But it turned into... Did you know it was going to be that big when you... Nah, absolutely not. Caught left field, you know what I'm saying? Big time, though. That's the tsunami. That's like you on the beach. And the tsunami shit come. That shit has no intention. And I don't really like swimming in the ocean. I'm crabby-ass for my life jacket. You can get on the boat and shit. But definitely, you know, caught a nigga left field. But you know shit happens. Back stronger than ever though. Back stronger than ever. I heard you say that 50 Cent encouraged you to stay rapping and stay focused. You was another nigga too. You ain't never shy away from like, you know, just recognizing like, you know, just the shit a nigga stood for and just affected. On the other show you had going on at the time. But it was a clip. I'm going to have to hollet you because I wanted to put that in my documentary. So we're going to need to be a... Whatever I did, you got it. You said I was ready for war. We had that one. So yeah, nah, it was niggas like y'all, you know. I always got love from the OGs, the niggas that I, you know what I'm saying? My, you know what I'm saying? Growing up in... And niggas that everybody I looked up to and fucked with as a youngin', all the niggas fucked with me. You know what happened to me is when I got in the rap game, I left the shoot to know. And by hook or by crook, I was determined to make it in this business. Like I was just like, yo, there's no... There's nothing else for me. You know? And so I don't know your situation, but when you was going through it, when I would talk to you, I'm just letting you know, like, yo, fuck what they saying. You talented, get back on that bike and fuck all that. Like keep going and then you catch one and then, you know, shit'll get better. And right now you got the biggest shit out there right now. What that feel like? All right, what that feel like when they telling you... I'm not going crazy. They telling you it's over and now, I know you don't feel... You know, you had a couple of joints after that that popped off. But this one, this is smokers. What does that feel like? Shit, it feel like I was supposed to feel. I mean, I ain't forgot how to do nothing. You know what I'm saying? The end of the day, if anything, they'll just, you know... I ain't got the difference. The difference in it is like I'm back just, you know, having fun with this shit. And I ain't looking for nothing in particular. And that's when this shit just, it's going to go high, go with me regardless. You know what I'm saying? So it feel good to be, you know, to have motherfuckers favorite, their favorite song, all the shit everybody on. Yeah, that's what I'm supposed to do. Nah, that bitch pop. Popping down. That shit came, that shit was the smoker on script. One listen, they sent it to me. I was like, oh no, this shit addict. I know what it was. I knew it was going to be good though from the journey. Your journey, you know what I mean? Whenever you, whenever you got, whenever you nice is inevitable for your number to play. But in this particular game, for some reason, whenever, whenever you, your first attempt at like, you know, I'm one of them and they give you a little pushback, you always get the fucking laugh last in there. Nah, for sure, for sure. For sure. I respect you for that. Some dudes break after this. A couple doors closed on them. Yeah, yeah, get like that. They go, they go find another. Straight up. They switch majors. Straight up. For sure. Stuck it out. And it all, I love you because you ain't never been pussied. Let me tell you something. That's the whole nothing. That's the whole, we don't want nothing. That's the whole nothing. Yeah, I'll rate this on that. You know what I'm saying? The baby ain't pussied, man. Let me get over here and get out of that. I know when to get saying about Duke. I know when to get out of that. Charlotte, North Carolina, what did you have out there to inspire you? Yeah. Were there ever artists that came from Charlotte? I know P.D. Pablo. He ain't pussied. He ain't from Charlotte, but he's from North Carolina. No, I've been, I've been, I got down with P.D. Pablo. He's a physical form. Me and him against 2032. He's an artist. He did North Carolina right. That's what it is. So P.D. Pablo, who else? About it. J. Cole from there. Oh, J. Cole? That's a big deal. Yeah, but sure, he from Fayetteville. Fayetteville, North Carolina. He got Charlotte pretty much on this back. He got... That's the 100%. Literally. I didn't give a fuck. I was in North Carolina. Yeah. So at the height of the hate for you, you're fucking town. The radio, they stood by you to a billion percent. I was in North Charlotte, North Carolina. Yeah. And I'm listening to the radio and they acting like, ain't no cancel here. We playing this motherfucker, this motherfucker, the baby. So you're town. How do you feel with your town? Shit, I mean, I'm still there. I ain't waiting no where, but you know, when it come to Charlotte, like, it wasn't no examples for sure of like, I was the first nigga to... He's setting shit. Yeah, setting the ball. You know what I'm saying? The first nigga, you know what I mean? We got a couple niggas right there at that threshold right now. Like, Fayetteville, I feel like Fayetteville is my nigga. Sit out to him. But other than that, like, in the head of me, like, I really had to kick the door down, you know what I mean? So that's what happened to me, the condition to be able to never get through whatever in the industry, because it ain't that sweet, you know what I'm saying? It's Charlotte. Like, if you get up out of there, you get up out of there, you can get down. You can go anywhere. Let me tell you something. Every time I go to Charlotte Highway, I feel like still in the trees. Y'all niggas don't got no trees. Yeah, we ain't got no trees. Y'all got these fucking cherry blossoms and all of the highway, got the trees. I be like, yo, I should come down here with a U-Haul, steal all these shits and bring them back to my backyard. They got the expensive trees on the highway with all the colors and all that shit. Shout out to Greensboro. Yeah. Every year, I go out to Greensboro in the summer to Soul Food Joint. You know the Soul Food Joint out there, right? Nah. They give you Pepto Bismo with the food, man. Yeah, you got the soul food. They know they about to fuck you up. Pepto Bismos understand. You walk in, they got Pepto Bismo understand. You know you're going to go to the toilet later on, fucking with that type shit. Yeah, but so good over there, man. You know, I went to, uh, this, this, this, so my experience in North Carolina is too North Carolina. Yeah. People, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm going to tell you right now. I'm going to tell you right now. In North Carolina, they are the nicest, sweetest people in the world, and racism is real. So I go one day to roof Chris, because you always want me to fucking step on shit. You were in the south. Greensboro, I went to roof Chris, and I was dressed up like this, and they was letting white people in with tank tops and fucking slippers on there. It was like, yo, you don't meet the dress code. I said, what? It was like you in there. And I had some G-von cheese shit on some flash. I'm like, huh? They was like, not the dress code. Now, the racism, you know, I get racism every, I told you they told me the other day that, uh, the prisoners over here, I get racism all the time. I just handle it, keep it moan. But my driving, he took so offense, he started screaming on them crazy. So when I get back in the car, he said, I should have told you, let me take you to the soulful joint, where they want to see you. These people full of shit here, they racist, this, this, that. He told me to the soulful. Every year I've been going back to that soulful, Friday, Saturday, and something like, I've been going there, you know what I'm saying? And I'm not a sewer, you know what I mean? I could have sued. Yo, I'm not a sewer. I could have sued the airport. He told me I said, Ben Crumpin one second, right up my fucking cup. I was last week, I'm in the airport, the dude, where we was at? Phoenix. Phoenix, the dude was like, prisoners over there. I had my security with me, he was like, huh? He's like, prisoners on that line. I guess that's, I told him, yo, what you doing? Prisoners over there. And then he doubled down on, I said prisoners over there. They could look like Bundy or one of them dudes. Like Al Bundy or some shit. I would have made him get me the whole airplane. He said I should have been Elizabeth. Elizabeth. A lady came, he went and came and she was like, yo, I hear you had an incident, this and this, I was like, now I'm good. She was like, you sure? He said, that's what, I think it was K said you should have said, well, well my trauma's coming back. She started crying. Yo, this shit out of control. I just gonna work for mines, man. This shit, yo, how hard is it navigating? Cause this is your prime, this is your era, this is your age group, this is your time. How is it just waking up, looking at social media every day? Like nothing to do with you. Just looking at all the crazy shit going, yo, this shit is crazy, kids. I think I'm gonna start smoking weed or something. I'm learning, I gotta smoke weed. Now I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. I don't want nobody getting mad at me. I'm gonna start smoking weed. At least gummies is some shit I can't take it. Mom fuckers on the Instagram. Do y'all see what I see? Yeah, it's wild. I don't know, you got a different, you got a different algorithm. That's what it is. So, you know, I don't act my age. You know, I'm one of the fly so jeans, the scene in the fucking universe. You know what I'm saying? I walk up, it's almost like I think I'm 28. And one day I put up that yo Chris, one day I threw on that Instagram. One day, my algorithm, the young fly shit, I threw it up and they were like, titty-titty, titty-titty, titty-titty. They was just breakdancing. The next one was hip and graffiti. The next one was singing to the hip. They was like, basically my Instagram, the algorithm was like, yo, act your age, nigga. This is where you was. I was like, no. I thought I was in the nightmare on that piss. I started liking all the young shit. Like, yo, get back. I can't do that shit. Yo. How important are visuals for you? Because you might have took the new busted slot of your videos of you taking it there on the video. I mean, when it come to me like, and this shit to be going on in my head, bro, video is important. Like, I really didn't train my audience to like... Expect some shit. Confid me. So that's the thing, with the song, I got going crazy right now. It went up through there without the video. Normally, I come with the video off the rip. Same time. And it got done through there. So when that bitch took off before the video, even came, I already knew what time it was. I just had to make sure the video, you know what I'm saying? Met the standards of what motherfuckers expect. But them shit's super important, bro. To answer your question, like, I got to paint that picture. You know what I mean? That's why I'm so hands-on with this shit, too. Because it ain't too many motherfuckers that can, you know what I'm saying? Paint my picture better than me. So, yeah, that's what got a nigga. Yeah. The head first until I directed it and all that shit. Them stages, too. I see you love, you love, you love touching them stages. Yeah, performing was, was, better than always, been like one of my favorite parts of this shit. That, doing the videos and shit, being hands-on in the videos, performing. They're my favorite parts of this shit. They're all that other shit. It's too, it's too much. You know what I'm saying? It ain't, it's too much to, you know what I mean? To figure out what the rest of this shit I got that shit figured out. That's the shit you can't fabricate. Like, I'm right here in front of you, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, anything I'm saying, anything I'm doing, you know, live performance, that shit, that's it. The live show killer. So I'm ready to get out here on this tour. You know what I mean? I go on tour next week. Yeah? Yeah, get back in front of my people. You with somebody else, or? I got Zeddy Will on there. Zeddy Will, new artist's head band. Oh, that's fire. Yeah, a younger girl. She from the DMV area. So, you know, I definitely, I wanted to snatch up the younger people, the upcoming people. That's why I wanted to go out with you, you know what I'm saying? And let them turn up, you know what I mean? So it's going to be one big ass party. That's right. When it start next week? Yeah, first stop Houston. First stop Houston. That's right, y'all get your tickets. That record in Houston. Right on time. Spring break still. Right on time. You're going to be crazy. Right on time. Houston, let me tell you something, man. I was in Houston this club one day. Houston gets in trouble, Joe. And this girl, I see the kingdom. I see the kingdom. I see the kingdom. Houston, I went to a strip club. This girl ran up on me. She had to rock this big on a shit. This one, Scott Stortz was the man. She was like, look, your man bought me this ring. I said, my man, I want to rob the bitch. I'm like, yo, he bought you what? She's like, yeah, your man, me and him, we engaged. She shaking her ass into you shit. I'm looking like, y'all like, man. Let me tell you something, Houston, I'll make you lose your mind, man. Shout out to Houston, man, and everybody out there. I used to go to Houston all the time back in the day. Like back in the West love there. I used to just hang out there. I used to hang out there with a bunch of Mexicans in Houston. And they would turn the dine into the strip club. Like it was not legal. Whatever they were doing with that, they were coming this fucking store and turning that bitch into a strip club. Like, but Barber shop, they, they just. They closer crazy though. Nah, they had the strip club anywhere out there. They closer crazy. I feel what Houston. Yeah. 23 tracks on this album. 23 home. Well, man, you had a lot to say. It had been a minute. Yeah, it had been a minute, you know, and not only that, like I wanted to, I wanted to check every box. I wanted to get into the lyrical shit. I wanted to do some a la, you know what I'm saying? Definitely had to get, had to get back in tune with my, with my ladies, with the lady audience, you know what I'm saying? So I had to, I had to do them right. I had to got them demonstrate, you know, the lyricism and shit. I had to put bars on there. And I had to put the hits on there. And I just had to have that raw energy to turn up shit. So I wanted to make sure I checked every box on this motherfucker. I ain't leaving nothing off. And then the song is going crazy right now. That's the last one I did. I did that one right before. That's it. I got all the mother shit to check. I need that one. Man with the deuces sent me to beat. I'm like, yeah, that's her. That's her. That's all she wrote. Tell you something. I need you on the song. I got to play you after this. I can't wait. Come on with it. I need that pain, you know what I'm saying? All the time I heard this shit, that's a game. I need the baby on this shit. Second burst. I can't wait. Run it. What's your process in the studio? What should necessity be to essentially? I don't need nothing but the music and microphone for real. I want it outside the booth. I want it outside the booth right there. I want to sit down. I ain't trying to stand up. And that's it. It's just play the music. Don't catch me off the rip. A nigga come in. Shit, a producer come in. I'm not one of the niggas that let a nigga play some shit. You know what I'm saying? Play another one. Play another one. Play another one. Play another one. Because I'ma know off the rip. Catch me as low as I can. The music talk to you. No, 100%. I let the music down. Talk to me. I tell you you happy, you sad, you dissed you. Yeah, 100%. It's going to bring out what it bring out. I'm saying I do me. I give him a little more courtesy. Like I listen to the beat even though I'm not sure. I'll be like, then I'll be like, I don't want that. But you know I got one of them ears. Well, you can't bullshit me. Just one of them. Yeah, I got. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you one thing. I got one of the greatest ears in hip hop history. Come on out. I know how to hear a beat. I know how to hear a hit. I know how to do it. I just know how to do it. And so I'll list. You can't fake me out. But guys used to come to my studio. This is real talk. Yeah. So back in the days, the way it was, I don't know. Rough riders, y'all definitely had this, right? So when Terrah Squad, Pawn, everything, the number one producers would stand online. Like Alchemist said, they're coming there and play us five, ten, so this is the number one guys. They leave the next number one guy. It was like, and they come up in there and they play some good beats. But it was close, but no gone. I'd be like, y'all, let me ask you something. I'd be like, well, I said, what you got for Jay-Z? Oh, that's a different style. Right, right, right. That's over here in my y'all, in my debt. Can you play me that? They'll play some shit out of this world. I'd be like, y'all, I need that fucking beat. You know what I'm saying? Like Remi's Conceded, that was Missy's beat. I had to put crazy pressure on Scott. So I'm like, y'all, I need that for Remi. And he was like, yo, but Missy, I think she cut vocal store at this. I was like, yo, I'm sorry to say, Scott, we need you to start right here. Shit didn't play that for me, man. That's shit too crazy. And then Remi did, she did everything from the hell. Like Conceded, everything. But the beat, Scott Storz played that shit for Jay-Z. I was like, I'm sorry, I need that for Remi. That shit is crazy. And so that's how I go. Like you knew this last joint, you knew that was a hit. For sure, for sure. Who's that in back? Who's the doosling? Scott Storz. I think it's Storz. I thought I was scared to write to that shit for like a whole month. That's like knocking the beat. This shit is so knocking, I was scared to write. I was driving around. I'm driving around town, just listening to the instrumental through the whole New York. No, the problem I had was a problem that most artists get. When you get a hit record, you think that's your lane. So my only hit record before that that was really a hit was what's love. So I'm listening to Lean Back, even though this shit is dumb hardcore. And I keep thinking, I'ma flip it for girls. I'ma flip it for girls. I mean, then one night, I remember, I never forget, I was in 42nd Street, the West Side Highway, whatever that is. And man, I just said, fuck it, I'm going straight on this bitch. I'm going hardcore. And it was the best decision I've made in my life. You could imagine, I was trying to turn Lean Back into a what's love, baby. I love you. This is that, yo, that's what it was going to be. I was fighting that shit, fighting the power, because the only hit I had that went number one was what's love. So I'm thinking, yo, they want me to make girl songs, but the beat was too knocking. And then thank God, I never forget. I was just like, all right, fuck it, I'm going hard, body on it. And the hook was like, you know, the hook, a lot of artists can't make a hook. That's another, yo, there's layers to making hit records and all that. Like a lot of artists, they can be the number one rappers. They can't make a hook. So I take pride in, you know, in my crew, D-I-T-C, every time we work together, I'll be like, yo, let me do the hook. Like I like, like Method Man, right? They use Method Man a lot, booting. For them hooks. And I would be like, yo, I'm like the Method Man of the crew. I'm going to make a hook. Don't worry, I'm going to do it. And so, you know, but I've noticed by working with so many different artists that that's probably the hardest shit to do is make a hook on just a hit. And you know, that lean back came like that. That hook came like water. Can I tell you my friends at Hard Rock Bet, my wife looks at me the other night and she goes, why are you rooting so hard for Arkansas? You would have thought that Coach Cow was my dad, I said. 50 to 1. I got the Razorbacks to make a freaking run. Duke, bring it on, baby.

No, I'm telling you. No, I'm not so bad. I do know that. I went to a funeral the other day. I went to a funeral the other day, shot out the power for Wu-Tang. I pulled up and it made me realize, I mean, I lost my mom, my father. I don't want to make this depressing. I lost my mom, my father, my brother same year last year. I've been through some shit. I've never been in a funeral and made me realize like, yo, life is short, like powers. I'm sitting there, seeing all the guys I came in the industry with. Everybody looking old, kids, everybody looking old. Like everybody I came in the game with. I'm sitting there and I'm looking and they like, yo, you know, once you get diagnosed, this, it just made me realize like this shit could be super over. So we might as well just blow the bag faster. And just finish it. Just finish it. Just have your fun, finish it. Make sure the kids good. They got 40 acres. Pay that bitch off if you could. They'll have, yo, my thing is this, yo, if we leave you some shit, we ain't get shit. We in the south ground, the projects across the street. We didn't have shit. We give you something. You gotta do something like that. Perhaps something for the nose. You gotta make that. No, no, I'm just saying like, now it's on you. Yo, I tell my family all the time. I tell them all the time. Yo, if something happens to me, they're gonna give you some money. It's a fact. They're gonna give you some money. If you blow that shit like Fat Joe still here right now, that's on you. If you wanna be the laughing stock, like, yo, Fat Joe died, we gotta sell a mansion. We gotta go in the flyest townhouse ever, million dollar townhouse. We don't need no shit, 10 million. With you, you're not performing. You're not doing none of that shit. Yeah, you can't make no money. Fat Joe could go on a weekend, you were going on a weekend, you were going on a weekend, come back with the bag, yo, we good. Fat Joe not in them. So there's no reason for you to be sitting in a 10 million dollar mansion. Downgrade to something like shit. Tell that bitch, get your PC off that too, besides the money you got down side.

And they helped me with the Walkmans in the jacket. Yeah. Tell you something. I stuck up this kid one time. That was around here. Come on, don't get him started. I'm gonna get him started. Right around here. Let me tell you something. I'll tell you a funny story. Your kiss, you stop me if I said it, be safe. I'm not gonna stop you. So I'm robbing everybody. Right? It's a different hobby. I don't know what you're saying. I don't trust nobody. When I go home, I go different ways. When I just listen to that, I do everything because I know I robbed everything. I know what this is. From every level to this day, it's going to be very hard for you to rob me to this day, because I've seen everything coming. I've been on the other side of the... You got to be AI some shit to get me, right? So I go like this. I said, I'm robbing everybody, but I can't even fit the stuff. There's no fly fat. No, you're not understanding. I'm sticking people up just for the sport. He's just sticking that rob shit and getting tailored. Rob, there he's body. What's it no tailored? It was very hard. One of my wife's biggest jokes is Fat Nigger with the discus teacher. There was nothing fly for Fat Niggers. There was no gear. It just didn't exist. So I would rob guys and then give it to my man. They were skinny. My man Stacy from across the street, he doing it. He caught three bodies right across the street. He been up there for hours. Cops beat him up so many times, he got still in his chest. I'm not bullshitting you. My man told Montana, so I was sticking Nigger up and giving it to my man because I can't even fit the shit. One day a fat dude walks in his school. He got that small click, surely. Got to have it. That shit is immediate. Like yo, my man, yo, my man. Come up off the shit now. At the school? In this one hot second, it was his first day in school. Now yo, my man run that. In the hallway, in the club. Nothing to talk about. Yo, my nigga come up off the shit now. Now.

Miss Shirley, I'm telling you, I was a bum. Right? I got the choke. I finally stole something from me. Yeah. I'm upstairs. I heard a car go, urgh. I heard another one go, urgh. Another one go, urgh. Another one go, urgh. I turned to urgh. My man, OP Mega Charm, come out the car. I guess I'm upstairs. Yo, Joe. I look out the window. It's about a honey-grown men gang's nigga. Niggas ran his shit. Oh, he was somebody. His brother was the biggest nigga in the universe. So OP caused me. OP must have been like, I know him. Chill, please. This, he's a kid. This, this. Joe. Yo, what up, OP? From out the window and shit. Yeah, from the projects. Yo, come down. Yo, and bring the Shirley. The one victory I ever had, I come down with the Shirley. You handed that one for gold. What?

But he said, this my brother from now on, you make sure he's good. I said, no problem. His brother will walk past me with a little smirk in the school and all that. Like, this nigga know what time it is. Like, he know what it is. But you know, it's the one time I had with something that fit me. That's fucked up. I couldn't get it off.
