Everybody made money. Who used to bet against like it? And I was. Why other RBCs as to talk or just at that good scene of rap table, Casino. And it I'm good. That's crazy. I remember when I wasn't talking to Jay Z or OG one. I go down to Atlantic City with Chris Gatti. And you know, I don't gamble for nothing. He had to. I caught beginners. I was rolling for like an hour straight. It was like seven. We just got winning. And boy, one couldn't bet. He's on the other table. He looks sick like a pup. He like dead. And then got the roll of a lifetime. I mean, I was literally on there for like an hour. That's it. One thing is crazy about the casino. When you win, they don't want to give you your money, huh? They don't want to give you your money. They don't want to come to your religion. They want to come to their whatever anything they stay. I had the biggest rooms. I never had the Mandelae Bay. They would come. Come. Come. They fucked up with me. Once I and they comp me the biggest suite is the only time my grandmother ever left the Bronx. She never left the block. In like 80 something years. I I guess that it go to Atlantic City with me. She looking out the window like his marshes like she couldn't believe it was so beautiful. She never been in the ship. So we in there. Them they were sending me lobster steaks all type of shit. I don't know. No, but they kept coming up to the room. You ready to go downstairs? Mr. Joe. I was like, now, chilling. We eating lobster. We share pain. Everything. They were like, Mr. Joe, you ready to come downstairs? I was like, man, I might have played a couple of slots on the megas and broke out. Like, they got it. They lost with me. I'm telling you that. It's like, oh, you can eat bulls. They lost. Sweat, man. Let me tell you something. You're one of my idols. You're one of my biggest inspirations. You know, I'm thinking driving down here. Well, passing through down here in May is car. And I'm just thinking like I remember when I fell in love with your music. I never even thought I would meet you in my life. Like just to meet you. You know what I'm saying? And the fact that we're friends. You know, it's just like, you know, it's like a real fact that we're friends. Right. You know, it's a real to me. Who's like that for you? Like, you know, you know, I love Keith's, where I bring you to every party. I think, you know, who's like that for you that was out before you that you can't believe you became cool with it. Or you love like that. I was a few people with JG, K. Johnny Gill. You know, when I met Gerald, you know, I'm saying it was like Eddie LaBert when I met him. I didn't know very much. You know, I grew up listening and you know, Casanova was one of our joints. You know, I ain't never been friends. You know, that's my heart. That's my heart. That's my heart. Yeah. You got the words. Yeah. So, so when I, you know, when I first came out, like everybody used to go to the holiday, you know, Jury, the full, the roof full. So you know, that's why you spent a lot of time and I had to hear it regularly. God damn, got my, you know, because you know, you take the girl, you take the girl load the roof full. So that's how I met Laverte, not a mark. I met Mark. You met him at roof full. Yeah, at the holiday end, the holiday end. You put your roof full, right? Everybody, you're a new one bottle. Everybody used to go that one back in the day. You know, you know, it's like, you know, right off the turn, right, boom, right there. So that's why I met Mark at Dave's stand there. And they had to show at Del Parlo. And I went to the machine because I came up through and went to the snack machine. And they'll get a little son. And I said, oh, man, that was what I want to have just drop, just had came in. I said, oh, man, am you Mark from the VIRC? And say, yeah, and he said, you know, you know, Mark had the Docs, you know, how Mark was. He got Docs, he said, yeah, I'm Keith Sweat. He said, Keith Sweat, that name sound for me. Yeah, I got this little record I called I want to. And he said, oh, shit, that's Jill, for you record. We got a short at Del Parlo tonight with the whispers. And they said, you should come by. So I came by, that was my first time meeting, Jill. And, you know, Sean and all of them. So you know what I'm saying? And then once we met each other, we became the best of friends. We came like brothers and, you know, because I never thought, you know, I was big friends or the old Jays and the VIRC. So we used to go to Cleveland all the time instead of the house and everything. So for them, that was Johnny and him was like, that's why I put the LSG thing together, because they were all my, always my two favorites. Still. Wow, I didn't know that. But Johnny, Jill, you got a polo on it. For you, when you say you went and pulled up on them at the polo for me, when I think of the polo, I'm not sure about turning. I was even turning 11, I was even 12 with 13. And I'm like, it's for my birthday. I don't know what I asked for for that particular birthday. But you ended up in the Apollo. My mom and my dad for you suckers, not an ingo with two parents, and you think it's a bad thing. They took me to the Apollo. Is you heavy deep in L.M. It was the best show of my life. I'm like, what am I doing at concert? My mom's right here, my father's right here. The ship was amazing though. You killed it. It's left a lifetime memory on me. It's a little bit old. At the Apollo, she was incredible. I would never forget the whip. Yeah, that was my first, it was crazy because my first tour was with heavy DNA boys, assaulting pepper and myself. That was my first tour. You know, shout out to assaulting pepper. They just won the award and the whole thing. Yes, yes, yes. I was so proud of them. Let me tell you something. I did some shows with assaulting pepper in the women. It's 99. It definitely ain't fat Joe fans at that show because the women is 99% come out for, I mean, there is no man. The whole audience is just women. Three guys went up in there to hear flows. No, I'm saying so, assaulting pepper men. I'm so proud of them. We love them, man. And, you know, heavy deep. That's another one of my idols. I got to be real cool. We have heavy kind of Miami and hang out with us. I remember the first time I met him in the same situation like a libert. I met Tabernon and Green. They were stolen them ill parties. And I'm using the restroom in the door open and somebody going, you got a flow, Joe, you got to, I turned around and fucking heavy. I almost pissed on myself. I couldn't fucking believe it. I was like, you all have his name. my fucking idol man, he walked in and we got cool and we went to eat after that. And I was just like, oh, heavy deep. Like to me, that's that's that was like, that was that era man. That was the best era. You know, we had Mike Epps on here and Mike Epps gave, I told him what's your top five comedians? He mentioned Dave Chappelle. His excuse for not mentioning it, which right on because he says, you know me and Chappelle the same era. I gotta mention Richard, probably I gotta mention the old school guys that was before us who inspired us. That's how I feel. I can say he ain't saying nice Jay Z, but we all from the same era. When they asked me, I gotta say, I love Keras, you know, that's that era before us. These are guys we used to look at what we didn't even think. We would ever be a rapper or be successful. So, you know, when I'm a heavy-d, man, I used to try to dance like heavy-d, I still try to dress like heavy-d. To them, Gerald Leverto, recipes. As Lee. I heard some stories about Gerald Leverto. He had the ladies, man. Gerald Leverto, you know, ain't nothing I won't do for you. Wait, the guys ain't giving it up like that no more. They're not singing to the woman like, I don't you feel about the state of R&B. Oh, is it even the state? I feel like they trying to do away with the kind of music we was raised and grew up on, the texture of it. Like what I said about R&B now is the R&B artists, they want the rap, they want to be rappers. Cause you know, my attitude is R&B is supposed to be full play. Like when you break it up, making up with your girl, you want to play some fly, you know, because if you are getting scream out, I'm all about fuck fuck you. You know, all that too. Then you put a R&B record on it. The R&B record saying the same thing. You don't add a more confusion. The R&B record cursing at all the R2. You know what I'm saying? So the R&B record is supposed to calm you down, listen, baby. I can't say what I want to say to you. So I'ma let this record say it, you know, say, answer, we need to calm this shit down, have a real conversation. Cause if it's, I think I'm gonna fuck you and hit me over the head and the R&B record is talking about all that. You're like, yo, let's get, you want, it's a right. It's still a right. You know, you saw this shit got out of head about two years ago. So I'm used to listening to LL doing it and doing it well. Doing, you know, the guy and girl, you know, I need love. You're all shorty. I need you every time they start to fuck me. Nigga piss the wippy while I'm fucked with the dick. Like a glow real in a money bag or something like they started going like, what the fuck is going on piss the wippy and chuck me. Nigga is spitting my face. When you just, this all you did, I'm like, all you did, why you pee? I'm like, yo, this shit out of control. Like, this ain't doing it well. This ain't not this shit. I'm like, yo, this is the new, this is the new Bonnie and Clyde. No, no, I'm dead serious. That you know the, this ain't good. I can't do that cause he break. No, I'm like, is it better way than described it? Christopher, me nigga, you know what I'm like, I'm like, you know what that's what they said. So I'm like, I'm not. I'm not. You know the emoji your hair, I'm like, yo, this is great. And then they say I'm going to that kiss. And they say I'm going to say the same shit on my shit. I'm like, oh, my shit wasn't meant to be that. You're listening to the fact. We don't do that to that classic. But let's show you something. Keith Sweat and Jay to kiss. I noticed right now they got something in common. They got like the same humor. I said, and keep, keep shit. He said, yeah, no problem. Joe send it over cause this people were trying to front. But I know what's again, keep on the phone. You, what's it you I was talking to? He was like, well, you know, I said, okay, don't worry. You'll get a phone call, fucking Keith Sweat. Call that motherfucker two minutes. I'm like, that's Joe crack. We clear that. He said, send me this song, Joe. I said, it's just a goddamn you. Jack my whole fucking song. You're singing every word of mine, Joe. This gonna cost you right here. I said, yo, Sweat, whatever the fuck you want. You got it, baby. But we had the best of the best coming on this show and giving that was one of the greatest answers to any question I have asked. Will you say, yo, the R&B is the full play. It's the instinct. You know, you can't, everything can't be fucked. You just, and the script, that's perfect. I was the perfect Sweat man. Let me tell you something, but you my theme song man for my life, that nobody, that I used to draw cause I was scared to fly. And you know, when you meet your wife for the first time and you get that song, we have everybody dizzy in the Lexus, we keep playing nobody 10,000 times from fucking the Bronx to Miami. When T4, our job nobody, baby. Is that the biggest song you ever put out or you got a bigger one? They make it last and nobody and are the biggest, you know, maybe twisted make nobody make it last. The make it last. Twisted is dead too. It ain't last. My favorite one of the stretches forever. Oh no. No, I did the 20 year fan of verse when you was there, lean back and the big, he could have did whatever I said, not keep, I want him to come out the side and go, girl, I've been thinking about him. Oh, they like, yeah, that's sick. Great. The way you started that rough girl, like, how do you get that shit right on time? And he had a whole tool set. He came in lit. And we put him in. Yeah, no pro tools, that's a start girl. I mean, that's it take off immediately. Genius is an understatement. Let's not even talk about key sweat. Let's talk about the songs you wrote because people don't really understand all the hit records you've written for everybody else. And you gotta be very unselfish to give other artists smash hit records. Mm-hmm. Yeah, bro, freak me. Freak me, baby. Lewis control. When me and you up. If you let them start, keep joking, tell them a couple more. No, no, but you gotta say it and give them a little bar if you keep, because some of these people, they slow, speak slow for them. They'll slow them. And let me get a couple more. Let me lick you up and then you say stop. Ah! Ah! Boom, boom, boom, boom. You know what else you freak me, baby? You wrote match. Just got paid.

I shared my world. Oh, shit. Very underestimated Drew here. They got bomb classics. I think Cisco dance and they're doing all that shit, you know, throwing more for the... Yeah. No. Like, you know, I'm the Drew Hill Jagged Edge. I'm going Jagged Edge because, you know, they, you're doing all my shit on in the first. And, yeah, that guy got the dance and shit, you know. Sure, the Drew. You know, you go to keep sweat show. It's a fucking bad. I remember going to fucking the key sweatshaw. I'm damn near up a deck. You had the bed in the middle of all that is the square card. Yeah, the bed came up on, I give all my love to you. I give all my love to you, y'all. Yeah, I used to walk up to the top and get on the bed and the bed go down like this. Really? Yeah, I was fired. That was on the triple thread toe. That was in the maze. He was doing shit like that. How many years ago was that? Man, that's just bad. Some years ago. This fucking key sweat. I'm sure. You know where I want to go? They get mad at me, right? I'm 55. I don't give a fuck.

But I heard some stories about you behind the scene. Is it you or is it Nana? It's Key sweat. You're a good businessman, obviously. If he got you, but it's Key sweat. Did you go through a lot of bullshit early to learn, you know, to just shut tightened up and I think he was smart, David. Very stern, or you came in. I went through a little bullshit. Not everybody. Not, not, not what everybody. I was keeping you record. I know. I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I can't throw the flag. Yo, we had a meeting of a day. So it's shit. He said, I really went through that. Jada kissers like, this feels like over again, I said, this guy is traumatized. This guy started years later. They did some shit that they do. This guy, I was like, yo, Jada, calm down. Yeah, calm down. I thought the real gangsta, and that ain't this. I thought the real gangsta's kill you, Rob, you go, I never knew they had contract gangsters. I've never got robbed. John, God, he's a ton of jury, whatever you want to name mountain. Was that guy? Was this nigga pull out of his den? Was that guy? He robbed me. Was this guy? Counting? Was the guy? The lawyer's a robbing. They can actually see. They told you, this is his name. It's Hully Bane. Yeah. Oh, he robbed me like 20 million. Yeah. He came to me on the Latino shit. I said, yo, we Latino, I'ma watch your back, yo. Sign your publishing. I'll take care of you. I've discovered Madonna. I did. Then they're waping you records. He robbed me for like 15 years. You know how I found out? I did a soundtrack for a movie. And to me at the time, it was big money. I was like, yo, I need a hundred fifty dollars. You know, I'm on fire. I'm thinking I can't, you know, I come for $500 a show. I'm getting them for $150. They said, hold up. You know, you're publishing. He wants $350. I said, who what? It was like, yeah, jelly bean, but need us want to allow you to be on the soundtrack. He wants $350. I think I'm robbing them for $150. That's when I say, oh, no, we got to find this dude. Because you know, he wasn't in the same surprise. And it was immalable and all that. We had to catch him outside of the ward shop. It'd be like your brother, the gig's up. These lawyers know both parties. So they got their friends over here. They act like they your friend over there. So they put these little bands in the contract that, you know, because they support the have watch over back. I got two lawyers going after I'm going to put it right there. I'm going to get that ass though. Because they slick. So I just got to, you know, be slick. So I got to get that. They're robbing me now. Did the lawyers? I got some allegedly, I don't know about this. No, who up? I got some serious friends. Thank you. I got some serious friends. And I don't care if we in dinner or whatever, he's fucking lawyers. But I never understood that I felt like you do your job. I pay you this and this. Right now, I'm like, these fucking lawyers, like, you know, these lawyers. So you going through the same thing I'm going through right now? They're the biggest crooks I've ever seen. Oh, you know, you got it. But, you know, some of them, when they doing what they doing, you know, they can lose a license because they really. Man, I don't know about that. No, they're going to. Yes, they got to do a lot to lose. They like what I'm telling you is like if you doing things, knowing you're doing things and you catch them, you know, I'm saying it's like, it's like if they're representing both parties, that type of shit. 20 times key fee. Still ain't getting far. Let me say it's what half of the time they represent both parties, but you don't know they represent both parties. You know, I'm saying because they fornagolin in the context where you don't know they represent this party in that party. So they can't be serving your best interests and they job is to serve your best interests, right? And if you go to court and say they didn't have my best interests at heart and they fornagled because they were friends over here and they didn't serve my best interests. Half of the time them, if you go to the right, get the right judge and go to the right play because a lot of times they put in the contract, we will only settle this in this state or this whatever they power for. Right. So basically what it is, if you're doing business in any state, whether the land or whatever, if that business is being done in that particular state, you can sue in that particular state. You know, all that shit about we got to go to Connecticut, settle is all that fuck that. These guys, man, let me tell you some, I could tell you guys 1 million percent. You need an attorney. Don't sign no people without attorney, but these guys are cool. Let's just say they get paid well. They want the bag. We said don't sign the people without attorney. Yeah, I won't sign up. No, no, no, no, even if you sign an attorney, you better check another attorney attorney attorney. A attorney for an attorney. You're right. Did you hear B.I.? I got lawyers watching lawyers. You it's the truth because attorney, happy attorneys are friends with these record companies and whatever. So they put boy. So you got to have an attorney watch the attorney. You can't have this like you have to have an attorney who don't know this attorney to be with a judge. I do. I was not the kid who robbed 50,000. Julius is broke. I got a girl. She's been my attorney maybe 10 years and everybody I work with, they're like, you need a bigger time attorney. You need this and I said, listen, she, somebody that's for you. You know, you and don't rob and she's smart and I'm fucking with her. Right. So you know, I'm like, attorney, you know, try to have a meet with me. Joe, you know, I'm like, well, I've been through them fast talking niggas. I'm good. Let me stay with my girl. She walks my back. She may be a little bit slower than I'm being like in speed. But she got your mother. Oh, no, she, she, she not playing with them. But these other guys, you use them for anything. Oh, my God, I'm dizzy. This nigga said happy new year. They gave me a meal. It is. No, if I tell you the matter of fact, when we get off the Amazon, they're like, I'm gonna tell you this lawyer bill. You gonna cook, you know, smoke 40 blunts for me. You and K gon' roll them shit, suck and smoke 36 therapy blunts. You're gonna be like, give me the whole body chronic. He, I can't be 55 paying this shit. I'm supposed to be on my retirement gatherings. Like this is supposed to be looking like Gerald Laverge. But it's trying to wipe me out. Look, look, look, look at the news. They get mad at me. They're like, you spent too much money on clothes. I'm saying, fuck you. I'm working for this fucking money. I'ma be fly till I die. Like, look at yo, Keith, you look fucking amazing. Thank you, my brother. Now tell them every time I FaceTime you. I tell them all the time every time I FaceTime, Keith, you on a fucking machine running dirty mouse for out. You think you work out. You call Keith Sweat any time in the book. Nigga liked the incredible, oh, he's gone, bro. In the fucking amp, he don't jog on the truck. He ain't walking. He gone. All systems go. That's why he look great. Move him in his medicine. Now, you tapping in the Afro beats. What's going on with that? Yeah, that's the new R&B, baby. I feel the new one. I feel the new one because, you know, the R&B had changed so much. I just want to say that made you feel good. That made you, you know, because Afro beat got that. That beat. Yeah, yeah, it got that whole vibe, you know, no matter where you are out the country. And the country, you die. Oh, shit. It feels like those girls, they don't stop me, little. So that whole Afro beat thing got a whole vibe to it. So that's what made me tap into that because you know, I always love Afro beat. I always love it. But the music is sent you. It's sexy sent you. And you know, it just says all the right man. So that's what I tap into it. I always love this. So it just feels like it should be me. Me too. You know, Africa is so big. I always knew that she was going to blow on another level when I'm out there. I thought you was about to say I have full beat started in the Bronx. We might have. Hold on. No, hold on. No, those guys. Let me explain something. We might have more Africans in the fucking Bronx than Africa. I wouldn't say Africa, but the Bronx is African mania. Now, we got Africans all over the African mania. I'm not saying African-Americans straight, people from Ghana, from Poland, from fucking Zomunga, they ain't that motherfucking abroad.

All right, this is what I was asking you before the man D told me, right? So help you get to this question. I D told me the African man, let me tell you something, creating music is something you got to be born with. How did you know the woman to put on the duets with you? Like they just as good as you bro. Man, man. What was the name of Athena? Athena Cage. Jesus Christ. Let me give it up for Athena Cage. You know man, like how did you pick cause all these girls singing back to you, it was just perfection. Well everyone. And we cut close perfection. Everything when you come in, I like the way you. You thought they could like sit you come real freaky baby. Ah. Ah. But how did you pick the perfect people that are? Now, like like like like going to the studio listening to them sing, seeing if you know if I say sing this, seeing if they can follow my lead or stuff. Cause you know, like if you can't, if you have an entire hard time riffing on some shit that I'm giving you, like you ain't the one. But if you get when I heard her, her wrist was so like, oh my God, so incredible that I'm like, okay, I can write anything for this girl. You know what I mean? Yes. So when I came up with, if you really, really wanted and she's like, when you're real big is that? You know that. So she made me want to sing it like that. You know, when we, so she made me want to sing it like that. You know, freaky baby. And I was talking to a sick step on stage girl's green block of Keith. But see, that's how much you know how many fucking hip hop rectus your man drinking her my life skin, key sweat. I mean, how many rappers the mentioned key sweat and they songs and all that and how you feel about that when you hear the record and they talking that key sweat shit.

No, no, I'm gonna tell you something. The daughter, the little kid, the little kid. Right, I'm gonna tell you something. Cause I watch everything you do. You popped out in a plieshow with the oldest person was 2325. And broke his tongue every fucking word. Even fat Joe, your number one fan wouldn't be able to bet. If we had to do hard rock bets, there's no way I would have said every 23 y'all would know every single key sweat word. It's impossible. The whole stadium starts singing every fucking word. Like, that got to feel amazing. That's it was crazy. Cause when I went on the stage, I was opposed to hit sing nobody too. I was supposed to be a special guest and come on and sing make it last forever and nobody. But when I got their plies, they said, yo, I already do writing the wrong way, right? I didn't wrong. So I think I was supposed to come on before plies. And he said, now you need to come on with me. So he was, he does writing the wrong way at the end of the song. So he said, yo, this could not be no better situation. So when he started writing the wrong way, I came out. You know what I'm saying? And that's when they went crazy. Then I went in to make it last, right? And I knew this was the millennial tour. And I was supposed to go in a nobody. They said, no, no, no, we can't let him do nobody.
