story right your story is look at me about to say the story and you

sitting here but the guy that just wrapped his way to where he is right

is would i be correcting that no you're right tell me about that or tell

the audience about that shit basically coming up from buffalo that or tell the audience

about that you know no motherfucking rapper ever came out of buffalo

you know i'm saying and west side gun got the opportunity him and conway they

smashed shit you know i'm saying you know we got a lot of uh late

people on the griselda but originally i wasn't part of griselda even though those are

my blood cousins knowing my whole life they was doing like i said i'm i'm

i'm i'm 35 i'm an older person I've been doing this shit on my own

on my own see i got my own shit was doing him I was like

see I got my own shit now so when he i've been doing this shit

oh shit I was still doing features for them niggas like yo come get on

this and they were still giving me features but when I realized what he had

going on he was he brought me along and you know I just had to

rap my way into this shit it ain't no gimmicks when you rapping over Derringer

beats and hip -hop beats it ain't no gimmicks it's bars you know I'm saying

there's nothing to hide behind I came into this shit you know I'm saying like

niggas know what type of person i am i right before i got on type

of person I am right i fucked my money up a couple years before that

you know you know the stories from the rhymes i was doing my thing i

got fucked up chasing music invested in myself because i'm always always been a music

man you know i'm saying i know how to sell dope but i know how

to rap way better you know i'm saying so it's like i invested in myself

i found myself being fucked up i didn't care i had another run in the

city i'm the old faithful from back home i had another run in the city

so i was cool with that got it you feel what i'm saying i was

cool with building on that but man i i got i got around buzzing him

and he did what he had to do and conway them niggas schooled me to

this shit how it going i paid attention to everything i didn't need nobody to

hold my hand and i wrapped my way into this shit well well when did

you first start to realize that all right i'm not just a nice cousin anymore

this is it's different now uh i i've always knew that i feel

like the people realized it when maybe maybe tana talked you know what i'm saying

is that when maybe maybe tana talk you know what i'm saying and i still

kind of feel like they was late on that that's me that's me i kind

of feel they was late still but you know i mean you take it with

a grain of salt man you know how this shit go and your first and

your first impression of this industry has been what this far

is is nothing joyous and celebratory oh

yeah of course because, you know, we making legal money and we get to live

money and we and we get the You know, we dreamed about your family

a life that, you know what I'm saying? because you know we we making legal

good, mama, kids and niggas around you good. So, of course, but it's not what

people think it is, you know what I'm saying? They think it's romantic. There's nothing

romantic about the business. And that's cool. It's business. You feel what I'm saying? People

think you a rapper, you rich and you got jewelry and you this and you

that. Like, it's black and white to people who don't understand what's going on. so

right people people think you motherfucking just because you people think you're a millionaire So

people people think you motherfucking just because you people think you. or they think you're

sitting next to hove all the time or some crazy shit i think you're a

millionaire you know what i'm saying i'm to be honest with you i'm not a

millionaire i'm not a millionaire i think you have more i'm worth i think i

think you've been offered millions of dollars of course i turned that down of course

hold on man look at you have a big pop in heaven hold on of

course i turned i turned all these record labels i'm not saying that i turned

them And then I turned him down on no cocky shit, it's just the business

business wasn't right you know what i'm saying right right i'm Right, right. You know

wasn't right, you know what I'm saying? down on no cocky shit it just the

what I'm saying? I'm not a young nigga, I'm not a little nigga, so it's

like, the numbers don't seem right, and I got my own team, I don't mind

doing the work. saying Explain to me where you learned that from, though. As a

newer artist, yeah, you're 35, but you're a newer act, you've got money and

lost money, and now here's this legal opportunity with millions being thrown in your face,

yet you have the worth all to walk away from it as yet you have

the wherewithal to walk away from it. even being from where we come from how

do you pick that up basically it's a step a lot of new niggas miss

is why i'm right i learned a lot from dj shea before before uh we

was signing grizel to me uh conway was signing dj shea right here i'm saying

i learned i learned the piece from him i learned a lot from spesh i

learned a lot from west side gun Westside Gun, and just other people. I

really learned it from niggas I've been around. Nothing on some industry shit. By the

time I seen Wes doing it, that was like the icing on the cake. It

was like, damn, all you gotta do is do this, all you gotta do is

know this person. It's just about applying the shit. People be scared to apply the

shit. They be scared to make them phone calls or push the envelope. I'm not

one of them niggas. People are scared to do the work. Yeah, you know what

what I'm saying? That's why people say, like, how you got your own, you got

I'm saying? That's why people say how you got to deal with E1. You know

to deal with E1 for your niggas, you got to put yourself on. It's like,

it was in front of me. It was possible. So it wasn't like, you know

what I mean? It wasn't a stretch. It was like, it was offers on the

tape. I said, OK, let's do this. Well, yeah, what made the rock deal make

sense, considering y 'all had done everything by yourselves and established yourselves by yourselves? Killing

March game, selling out shows, selling the music by yourselves. what made the rock one

make sense elliot who you know i mean uh just

because every since i got What made the rock one make sense? got the introduction

people really didn't hear about me till maybe 2000 the regular people not y 'all

y 'all been there y 'all don't count niggas probably didn't hear about me till

2018 but fresh in from this shit fresh from the projects to sleeping in a

room at west side gun house they were showing love before we was even signed

over there it was a mutual relationship oh come You've been signed over there. It

was a mutual relationship. Oh, come down to the office or anything we could do

the office or anything

or send me some records. It was like that. So I built myself up and

then thought it was time. So it ain't like I, you know what I mean?

So I feel comfortable over there because we, we knew those guys already. down to

How important is it to, uh, to maintain that attitude of, because you said you

turned down million dollar deals and how important is it, you know, for these young

cats to understand, like you can't miss what you never had. That's my attitude. A

that's my attitude a lot of the times like cats like to jump to the

lot of the times like cats like to jump. and miss what you never had

first thing because they like oh shit i've never been a millionaire but it's like

yeah exactly you've never been so if you say no what's the difference you know

i mean like how important is that to you to maintain certain certain values that

you was raised with and that you had the obstacles you had to overcome in

the streets and apply it to business man it's it's super important because you know

when you when you get in a position like like myself or even like y

'all self or even like y 'all you know i'm saying like responsibility come with

this shit right so you know i'm saying like responsibility come with this can't go

willy -nilly just doing shit for clout or just because you want the money like

these decisions that affect you i've been here ever since i got into the industry

i hear don't sign a deal don't sign a deal don't sign a deal don't

sign a deal so even though i might end up doing it it's nothing that

i'm in a rush to do right you got to enjoy this and you got

to see what everybody's talking about like if i sign a deal on some bullshit

going on i'm gonna feel like the dumbest nigga in the room because like niggas

because like niggas told me like niggas who've been through this so you don't have

told me like niggas who've been through this you know this nigga in the room

a deal no i don't i don't you know what i'm saying do you want

a deal or you think you're gonna just stay independent this is what i want

i want i want a bigger profile which i want the bigger budgets and i

and i profile and i heard a big check you know what i'm saying so

i don't need to i don't need to maybe sign with a label for that

but that's what i want you know i'm saying i'm trying to get i'm trying

to every i'm trying to make every move bigger than the next one you know

know what I'm saying? I'm hustling. So you wanted to wait when the Shady Deal

what i'm saying i'm hustling so you wanted to wait when the shady deal You

was presented to Wes and Gunn. You still wanted to just wait it out? No!

Hell no! it's just a blessing how it felt.

I was living in a project during that time. The projects where I wasn't even

from. This is not even my hood. You know what I'm saying? Right. So it

was dangerous. In Buffalo? Yeah, yeah. So it was like, of course,

was like, of course.

y 'all about to sign a shady as my name in that paperwork. So it

What's going on? Like, hell yeah. I'm a kid out of Buffalo. But when it

didn't happen, I wasn't like, I wasn't upset about it. I knew I trusted Westside

and Conway from jump. That's one thing about me. That's one thing we all family.

I know how business is. Sometimes you might not see eye to eye, but as

long as you trust somebody, we good. You feel what I'm saying? We figure that

out so i trust everything he was telling me and it came to fruition you

know what I'm saying? So i was i wanted the deal but when it didn't

happen i also i'm also reaping the benefits right now of not signing that deal

you feel what i'm saying you better believe it i think so how many of

these dudes how many of these dudes in the industry that you thought was cool

because now we're about to talk some real shit how many of these dudes you

thought was cool looking from afar and you actually get in the room but then

we'll get around them and you know this nigga's a goofy um a couple because

that's some that's something that happens A couple of niggas. Because that's something that happens

a lot in this game. like you mean Like you meet dudes from the outside

looking in that you think is cool and you know that you look up to.

And then when you meet them, you're like, oh, I'm cooler than this nigga. No,

real shit, real shit. Oh, I'm better than this nigga. I see that. I think

a lot of niggas been affected by this game. This money and this fame and

this shit, this shit do shit to people. This shit is dangerous. And when I

see people acting weird, I get niggas a benefit of the doubt. Making niggas a

benefit of the doubt. I'm like, yo, this shit tore him apart. You know what

I'm saying? And everybody can't handle this shit. That's why I tell people it's not

for everybody. Yeah, we love the money, like I said, the lifestyle. But if I

could have made this type of money selling rows of tissue, I probably wouldn't be

sitting here. I'd probably be selling rows of tissue. Like real shit. So if niggas

knew, it's not about the clout chasing, the dick eating, the ass kissing. It's not

about that. That's all these niggas want to do. All these niggas is chasing the

same shit. And it's really not about that. It's about building your own brand. niggas

was telling me about how when I first came in how niggas like yo Niggas

was telling me about how when I first. Why why them niggas never post your

shit? Why them niggas never post your shit? That worked out for me because if

you looking for some Benny shit You don't got to go to Westside page account.

Come to my page. Come here. That works out for me But everybody want that

stepping stool. I'm telling you when you take the stairs everything worth it I got

about three hundred three hundred and seven thousand followers. That's that's a lot to me

But guess what when I had seven thousand followers, I was still selling merch 7

,000 followers, I was still selling merch. I was still getting features. right? My algorithms

was still My algorithms were still nuts. Y 'all niggas was playing my shit. I

was good. That follower count is very misleading. For sure. Oh yeah, hell yeah. A

300 ,000 where you'll see an actual kickback of the percentage of the people that

buy things out of that followers is way more valuable than having 2 million followers

and they're just there for the salacious shit, for the follow. I'm not really here

to purchase anything or listen to anything you have to say. I'm just a follower

count like you're not monetizing any I'm just a follower count. of your followers that's

that whole when it'd be artists to have what three million followers and sell 10

,000 records absolutely right because it's hard for them to interpretate that clout don't equals

money they believe that shit because they see they see it done so they believe

it so it's a way to do it some people capitalize off the clout shit

and it's a way to do it but you know at the end of the

day you don't want to put who you are as a person like certain ethics

and morals that and values that are embedded in you you don't ethics and morals

that and values that want to put that to the side for a check exactly

and i feel like that's what griselda represents y 'all represent a different way of

doing things like we good on our own you know i'm saying it it'll be

an honor for y 'all to fuck with us right not the other way around

and i think that's important even you know we talk about that a lot it's

important for you to tell these bigger companies like yo we really don't need y

'all it's the other way y 'all need us like where the we have Like,

we have the product. We have the cool. Our culture is cool. Our culture sells

everything in the world. the product we have the cool our culture is cool And

I think what Griselda's been able to do is y 'all been able to show

people, like, stay down, stay real with each other, keep your core together. As long

as you keep that core together, things come to fruition and things happen. I agree.

Yeah, but then you'll step out and try to serve him up a girly verse

on a Russ record. Yeah. That verse was stupid. I

wasn't mad at that crossover. That verse was stupid. No, no, no. No, not at

all. But I'm just saying. easy for us to just get pigeonholed into boom

-bappity -bap. But no, you're talking about some other stuff, man. That girl verse on

Rush album, hold up, buddy. No, listen, because I want to address that, because I

want people to know that. I'm a musician. Before niggas ever heard of me, I

was rapping over trap beats before niggas ever heard of me. That's what I know

how to do. Like I said, I keep referring back to my age to point

out, like, I've been through them eras. I was in the studio during all these

eras. I was. You feel what I'm saying? So I've been in the dip set

era. I'm in the lab, the Jeezy era, the self era, all the eras. I'm

still in the studio cooking. So don't think that I could just go with one

hand. I saw the clip of Conway rapping over some snap beats from 2003. We

get busy, especially him. We get busy with this shit. You ain't like that verse

on Rush Joint? I did. all right i like the russia i've liked all of

I've liked all of you. i'm doing i'm doing what i do at the

your i've liked all your feature verses i'm All right. I like the Rush shit.

beginning of an artist's career who i like that gets into the feature bag when

people realize they're dope i'm waiting for you to sound like all right he's tired

of doing these features or he's now he's now venturing into a land that he's

unfamiliar with on the rust beat you sounded comfortable when it was uh rumblings of

this fucking drake benny song It was like, okay, that that doesn't sound out

of his realm it was like okay Like I can see that but that other

song I like that y 'all fucking killed Pete Rock went dumb on

that beat. Yeah, I got a record with a cash dog You know what I'm

saying? Oh, I like I did mall set that up. No Nothing to do with

that. You don't have to look at that. No, I did not in order nothing.

to do with that. What's the name of that record? Cut it with the Butcher?

What's the name of that record? Cut it with the butcher Oh, that had nothing

Nah, nah. It's called... Butcher Doll? It's one of them records. It might be called

Bad Bitch. Hey! Okay, so you talking your shit on there. All right.

The bitches is going to love a nigga after this. Are we allowed to talk

about the Hit Boy album? Yeah, hell yeah. That's about to come out in September.

To Joe's point of being on different beats outside of the Derringer Alchemist sound that

From the sound that you guys have kind of established, that Hit -Boy album,

of established. Right. Thank you.

you want some shit that you've never been on beat -wise. you guys have kind

Right, right, right. Can you tell the world anything about it now? I'm not going

to tell your story for an album that's not out. On that album, I'm digging

deep, I'm talking about shit I never spoke about, and it's Hit -Boy, you know

what I'm saying? We already know what he do, we already know what he's capable

of, and people probably think, it's more a hit boy coming to my side than

side than me going. And it's not even him coming to our side because he's

me going to where people think I'm going. it's more Hit -Boy coming to my

a producer. And he's malleable. He know how to do what he know how to

do. So it's like, it's going to be crazy. It's going to be 10 times

more than what the fuck I've been on. And I'm hungry. That's why I haven't

dropped the album in 14 months because I've been catering to that. So that could

come out. I want that to come out. You feel what I'm saying? so i

So I got the plugs I met, too, with Harry Frog.

got the plugs i met too with harry frog and so which one's coming first

oh the hit boy joint do you have a burden of proof it's called burden

of proof it's called burden of september september i'm saying i don't know

they might be mad at me for saying dates and shit but y 'all niggas

told me september so i'm saying it yeah it's cool where are you leaning towards

in terms of signing or or releasing your debut

it was it was a record label you know what i'm saying shout out to

them but it just it just didn't fall how we everybody wanted it to fall

but and i'm certain at some point i'm certain at some point with all the

griselda's success that paul or shady would have had to inquire about your standings

they have they have they have but like i said it's all love over

there with them it's just kind of to me it's by time everybody it's like

i've been around but everybody coming to me at once once once right and it's

like it's kind of a headache to deal with i know that shit sound no

i know how it is that's how the broads be with me man i've been

here for i've been here for so long y 'all since pump it up yeah

y 'all all hitting me at the same time like you relate no

you relate it. I get it, though. So I hate to

sound ungrateful. I appreciate the position. It's a good problem to have. But it's like,

you know what I mean? It's a lot to deal with. And it's not like

I don't got shit going on. You know what I'm saying? When I was hungry,

when I needed it, and when I thought it could work for me, it was

crickets. Right. You know what I'm saying? It was crickets. Well, that's kind of the

catch -22 of that situation because you put in the groundwork when maybe you would

have liked a major label budget or a major label push on promotion. You made

your label push on promotion, but now that you put yourself in that position, why

even bother signing with it? But now that you put yourself in that position, No

real shit. Because you proved that you don't need to do that. And a couple

labels I met with don't even know what the fuck going on. They in the

business of it, so they hear my name. They just know I'm hot. They don't

know shit going on. They just know the word on the street says we need

to sign him. So they don't know shit. And I'm like, hell no, I'm not

doing nothing like that. Because this has got to be handled with care, and I'd

rather not do that. Like I said, responsibility come with this shit. so it's like

So it was crazy, though. on and some labels don't on some g shit

it it was crazy though like some labels don't even know what the fuck going

don't want to just necessarily be in business with me they just trying to be

in business with wes or brazil does so oh yeah we'll take benny you know

i'm saying so it became it became weird you know i'm saying it became weird

so i'm i'm back chilling now i'm back on my independent run for a second

fuck it well tell tell our audience of millions how you're making so much

money in merch you like that, right?

How am I doing that shit? Penetrate all this cool shit. A core audience.

you know what I'm saying? A real one. These boys be throwing that shit on,

too. No, it's great. And it's dope, and it's quality. And what we do is,

I was telling somebody this is, I came to a point where I've been doing

this since 2017, And I was 20 20. I've been doing it for three years.

three years, They spend their money and they they'd be in my dm like yo

So the fans buy this shit and now it's 2020, I've been doing it for

I don't like this cut shirt you made or why you put this right there

or don't use this and I listened to what they said Till it till it

got to this point, you know, I'm saying so I kind of feel like is

the people who brought by is their product They helped me make it. They told

me what type of shit to buy They gave me feedback on it and I

make it for them if they start complaining about this shit today I make it

how they want it. You know, I'm saying that's dope and plus don't forget That's

dope. And plus, don't forget, you know what I'm saying, Big Buzz, West Side Gun,

you know what I'm saying? I'm just really playing my position and following suit and

being a smart nigga. Some niggas, you got to hold their hand. I'm not a

person who got to – you don't got to hold my hand, you know what

on the mic, I used to sit right there, and the mic was set up

right there, and I used to sit and watch these niggas kill the mic, and

I was too shy to spit my shit. though these is my big cousins i

That's how I feel Rory and Maul should view me. Like, yo, before they

was able to pod, they just looked at me. And they come in here and

act like, you know, act like, that's cool, that's cool. Yeah, I respect it, I

respect it. That changes for me though, that changes for me between you and Conway,

that changes almost like. every other week. Soul by soul. Yeah, like when Conway decided

to go on his, I love when he get on IG drunk and just start

playing shit he ain't supposed to play. Yeah, so he get crazy. Yeah, I love

that. He has great IG lives. Yeah, like that's when I'm like, yo, Conway is

different. But then it's, you know, then you'll put something out. And just the way

you flip certain shit to me, like, because it's not what you say, it's how

you say it. We've heard a thousand bars on how to flip, you know, different

scenarios from the hood and all. but the way you do it is just a

little different i don't But the way you do it is just a little different.

know if it's because of the buffalo thing and then y 'all experience is different

from buffalo but the way you flip certain metaphors and certain schemes it's like i

know that scheme but i never heard it that way and i think between you

and conway i think y 'all it's a great thing though like that y 'all

i feel like y 'all push each other like you'll hear conway say something you're

like oh no i gotta go crazy no real shit i think that's something that

y 'all gotta keep that. Like, don't ever lose that. it's like that man don't

nothing I'm gonna be honest, don't nothing get me in mode better than hearing him

play some new shit. You know what I mean? I ain't gonna lie, before the

song go over, I'm ready to go to the studio. Right. You know what I

mean? You know that feeling, that competitive feeling, that shit sounds so crazy, I feel

like I'm not on my job. You make me wanna rap. I gotta say it

to you, man. I won't, I will not do it. But every time I listen

I listen to you, it's like, I see what this nigga trying to do, man.

to you, it's like, alright, I see what this nigga's trying to do. Every time

I see where, I see where, like, how does that, I hate to ask him,

but how does that feel? Like, how does it feel that, yeah, we in the

industry, so you got to deal with industry shit, but then there's this subreddit of

the spitters where the conversation changes now and the criteria

changes now. And where you're regarded there in this small sample

size, small sample of time. here in this small sample size small sample of time

is like niggas respect that pen right right speak to it you know that's

that's crazy you know what i'm saying like i said i came i came from

i'm old faithful i've been i'm the neighborhood local rap nigga who've been trying this

who've been going at it for years everybody knew me so to be in this

spot i'm just thankful and i'm humble and that's that's a blessing to be in

i dreamed of that shit and and speaking about when i first came in, like

I said, I came in broke. I seen these niggas having, wearing kicks and designer,

in broke i've seen these niggas having wearing I'm like, okay,

having rollies and shit on, Conway and West. came in like i said i came

they about to sign me, so I know I'm about to get some money at

least. I don't got to run around in the streets for it. And then a

couple months later, a couple years later, I realized, nah, fuck that. I got to

run at the throne around this motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? So to have

a run at the throne, a legitimate run at the throne, I feel like, I

thank God every day for it. I was just telling these niggas the other day,

it's like, every day I'm getting in a booth, I'm trying to Joe Pesci38 every

trying to joe pesci 38 every day i get in there you feel what i'm

day I get in. i'm getting in a in a booth i'm trying to i'm

saying so i'm hungry for this shit um let me take a hard left turn

long -standing relationship as i heard when you were in miami having a difficult time

um yeah my baby it's rough i understand

speak to me are there any new problems going on at home like new beefs

new arguments new triggers shit you wasn't aware of that's here now because of the

position that you're in uh nah and to be honest with you that's why i'm

really with that girl because females can't handle it like i said when i met

her i was a already a legend in the city so with shit she'd been

getting used to shit before this point and it's like she took this journey with

me and i'm saying like she know when she like you said you used to

hear the song where her father knew me by the time she met me like

you talked to this nigga you know i'm saying so it's like I already was

a popular person and she and she dealt with that pretty good and I had

person and she and she dealt with that I

ex -girlfriends who couldn't handle this shit it was like i already was a popular

don't speak to the bitch if she ain't speak to me. It's my party. This

shit packed full. I'm the man of the hour You know what I'm saying? All

type of crazy shit. So rule number one If you're gonna be with a female,

she gotta learn how to accept this to the, you know what I'm saying? She

ain't gonna accept the crazy shit like you Sleeping with 30 bitches and no crazy

shit like that, but she knows it's gonna be nights out she knows gonna be

the females gonna hound you she know what this shit come with and longer to

me i'm a i'm a like a relationship specialist too on some g shit really

maybe you can help me no real shit i am long as me i take

my girl everywhere that nip a lot of shit in the bud sometimes it get

on my nerves because it'd be sometimes i feel like my homies don't want to

be they self around her right sometimes i get on my nerves but it should

keep me out of trouble right you know what i'm saying strategy yeah especially on

tour and shit yeah i'm a bringer you know what I mean? Real shit. Share

this with her. That's a page out of the Joe book. Joe used to have

him. You know, we call those church pimps. Yeah. Now, Joe is a church pimp

now that I think about it. Joe used to keep his on the tour bus

with him. He was the first nigga doing that for sure. Why are you looking

at me while you're playing this record? I never understood why the rapper is always...

there's always now that now this is different y 'all don't jump me here y

'all are different Now, this is different. Y 'all don't jump me here. because you

actually have like a label situation with these gentlemen uh and it's your people from

uh from home but i never understood why rappers got the deal and then wanted

to hang out with just like mad dicks like that's not who i ever was

like i hate dicks no that's good that's good that you hate dicks yes don't

do that mo what if i was gay uh yeah but what i mean is

like I mean, it's like, niggas are a bill, niggas are a bill, niggas will

get you in a fight niggas are niggas are bill you ain't wanna be in,

as a new act, I just always wanted to be with the women, that makes

sense, right, that makes a ton of sense, yeah, I mean, so this is my

bad, cause I would've brought my girl everywhere, everywhere, yeah, you did, and I understand,

now I understand, I used to laugh when you did it, and what happens when

these females see you with your girl, honestly, shit, some of them might want, I

was going to say, they usually. They're like it. some of them might want. to

was gonna say, they usually, they're like Shit, some of them might want to. I

join, yeah. I was about to say, you try not to be seen. No, it

makes them like, damn, he take her everywhere. You know what I'm saying? You know,

they want that. Right. They want that. They might not want it with you, but

they want that. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Now they should go. No, they

might want it with you. I'm a church pimp, too. I do this shit old

school, man. I take my girl everywhere I go. A church pimp. That terminology

is just nuts. So when you finally put your debut project out. and

it's time to release a single and play the game the game

of trying to chart trying to be cloudy and all that bullshit nasty stuff they're

doing out there how do you maintain integrity but still play that game because you're

gonna have to play the game i heard the rush verse so you're gonna have

to play the game but i think we shifted it like we we made it

our game when's the benny drill record We shifted it like we made it our

game. When's the Benny drill record coming out? To be honest with you, I got

shit like that now. I Got all the little homies and everybody from Buffalo be

wanting features niggas don't send me Derringer beats Niggas who know me they like yeah

nigga we know you and I owe favors the niggas from the hood They sending

me them trap beats and I'm cooking them and sending them back. It's out there.

Yeah I'm on iTunes right now today. So your thing is it just work? My

thing is just work, man man what number gets the deal closed i heard

some of the numbers you've been turning down and i'm shocked because it's not a

number they hide numbers it's not a number i gotta feel comfortable because if i

sound like joe if i fuck this up label gonna want three albums i'm gonna

come out of that deal 40 years old i can't fuck this no it's five

out minimum when you sign them fucking deals yeah shit like that so it's like

man i can't it's not a number it's a situation you gotta make me feel

me feel you gotta when i come over you gotta have some cookies baked you

we gotta when can't it's not a number it's a situation you got to make

know what i'm saying you gotta let me roll up i'm like oh i'm comfortable

here it's a it's a it's a transparency situation with me it's not even a

vision they gotta understand they gotta know the vibe right i know that's a lot

ask i know that's asking a lot these days in this business yes exactly but

get me close it's not even a number thing it could be for less money

but they could be like no this is your shit you come in here do

what the fuck you want to do we promise we got you and i'm over

there g shit We promise we got you and I'm over there. I'm seeing some

G shit. I respect that. Gotta respect that. I played your Dirty Needles

off of My First Brick. Yes, you did. I wasn't going to bring that up,

but I thought you was maybe sick of me bringing that up. No, no. In

2000, that's when I had... Ma put me on, man. The people don't know. Ma

put me on. I should have signed the Ma records, man. I couldn't believe that...

I thought you was signed the Ma records. We thought that this entire time. I

couldn't believe that it was a dude out there that was still willing to... it

was a it was a dude out there that was still willing to rap like

that when i first heard that record and that's why to me when i heard

that i knew that i was like okay that feeling that i felt when i

heard a rapper still rap like that i'm like this is what i think a

lot of people want to hear but it's just not available like they can't find

it so that was my reason for coming on the show and playing it but

i can't lie from that point on watching you and watching west and in conway

i never imagined that y 'all would be in west and in conway i never

imagined that y 'all would be doing what y 'all doing right now i didn't

think it was going to happen that fast i didn't think that a lot of

people were going to gravitate towards it like when i see y 'all now and

i see y 'all stepping out when i saw y 'all on late night what

was that with fallon jimmy fallon like to me like that was a a proud

moment because it was like yo this is late night and they talking about coke

and dope and right right on late night tv so for me that moment was

like yo i sat in front of the tv and i was just like it

was a proud moment. Like, I was so happy for y 'all because I watched

it. You know what I mean? Like, and that to me is important that y

'all still together. It ain't no whisperings of no funny shit going on in the

camp. Everybody can stand on their own and do what they do. But then y

'all come on late night and present that to the world. And to me, that

was just like a proud moment from my first brick to seeing y 'all on

that. was crazy for me. Now, being from upstate... watching y 'all is better. Felt

like watching your baby grow up? My homie from the block. My young boy from

the block. Being from upstate, that shit has been super inspiring to me. Now, real

shit, and people love that. We like heroes back home. Yeah, absolutely. Understandably. But, Ma...

I mean, upstate in general, not just Buffalo. Y 'all and John Elway. Killing shit

right now. real shit. Nah, for real. Is John Elway from upstate? I don't know.

No, I don't believe so. Know what I mean? But, Ma... Alley -oop, my nigga.

Perfect alley. I had to man. I had a platform. I saw that. I had

that, I had to, man. Perfect Alley -oop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it feel

to, but to me, that record was the moment where I was like, these niggas

got it. Perfect Alley -oop. I had to, man. I have a platform, I saw

good to give you your return on your investment. Thank you, brother. I appreciate that.

Same thing with Weston Conway. Them niggas, like I said, when I came in, them

niggas doing they thing to even have my name even mentioned with Conway. It's like,

you know, you get niggas the lane and they don't do shit with it. Right.

It's like, I feel like I did something with the lane, made them niggas proud.

You feel what I'm saying? Elaine made them niggas proud, you feel what I'm saying?

Grisel, you guys play the volume game. You guys put out a shit ton of

music per year. Is there a strategy on that? Is that going to pull back

at any point? Or is it going to be 15 albums a year

for the remainder of the foreseeable future? If it do,

I don't see why it will, but you know what I'm saying? I guess that's

just how it is. That's how they consume music. They not tripping. They not tripping.

I ain't tripping. They not tripping. I ain't tripping. We got a ton of music.

I got, like, I honestly, I honestly, right now, today, got three albums, three solo

albums, recorded everything, just waiting for the button to be pressed on them. And I,

and listen, and I have cookies. Pause. I

mean, I can make it feel like home. Real shit, man. Oh, damn, I just

had a question. Fuck, I forgot it was a good one. And listen, if you

have any questions, for any of us... No, real quick before we get into his

question. How was it, uh, let's talk about the Kanye experience. It was dope, man.

Going out there, working with Ye. He got the fucking chef. He got the whole

fucking shit. His motherfucking donkeys and lambs running around and shit. He was in Wyoming?

He was in Utah? He was just bringing some fruit out. No, it's like Jamaican

food. Crazy shit. He got some soul in it. No, real shit. This is Wyoming

or is LA? There's some soul in it. This is Wyoming or it's LA? This

is Wyoming. Jamaican food in Wyoming. I don't know. Not real shit. I don't know.

It was black people, you know what I'm saying? Was there any white people there?

Yeah, hell yeah, this is Kanye West we talking about. There was some whites there

too. So you went there without disclosing too much. Like, what can you tell us

about this Wyoming experience? I've never been invited to Wyoming. And I'm probably not going

to be invited. Royce was invited. of course it's not joe it was like the

was a lot more friendly than Joe. It was like the rappers and producers. to

rappers and producers out there you know i'm saying Of course, it's not Joe. Royce

though but it was cool being out there trees and shit bushes not none it's

open land open shit bring your lady with you look on this open land open

not a it was like farm type of shit he got like different spots he

got fucking the ATVs was Kim there? the four wheelers nah Kim wasn't there okay

nah Kim wasn't there man he was at work you know what I mean that's

probably like a spot where he go to work and shit It look very like

worky, very serious over there. Was Saha there? He was there. He was there. That's

my boy. You told him about me? I feel like he knew about you. He

a wordsmith. That's my man. No, that's my man. He a wordsmith. Again, that's back

to that bubble that, like all the NBA players in the bubble, the wordsmiths are

in the bubble. Shout out to Saha. Does Saha know that we're waiting on a

project? Yeah, he know. He played me some crazy shit. I am dying for a

Saha project. it looked very like worky very serious I am dying for a Sighine

project, I'll be honest with you. He played me some shit that gave me the

feeling like when I hear Conway shit, like, I'm about to load up. He got

some shit. I wish he dropped as often as y 'all. Yeah, me too, me

too. After hearing that shit, I'd be like, what? No Dope on Sundays was how

long ago? Drop this shit. It's been a couple years, three, four. 2017. It don't

feel like that, but that's a long time. That's a long fucking time. Because that

album was so good. It still sounds great. So he didn't tell you anything like,

hey, I invited y 'all out here to do music. just wanted y 'all to

kick it hey write this rhyme for me it seemed it seemed it seemed like

he was hey can you guys dance in the background while i while i rap

suburbs suburbs wouldn't know about Remember where you heard it. Right here. remember we heard

We had to push our recording time back that day. Because I believe Maul was

at the celebration. Oh, I had to be there for that. Maul was there. That's

my nigga. Yo, Maul, my nigga. I had to be there. How could I not

be there for that? Maul is everybody's niggas of mine, man. I remember we had

a podcast extra long that day. I heard you, nigga. I had to be there

for that. I was like, come on, man. You had to be there for that.

You nigga wasn't even at my birthday last year. I remember sitting here for about.

two hours and looking at IG story and seeing Maul on the roof. Yo, Benny,

it's time to deal. Maul has been there for nothing important for us. Yo, signing

day is going to change your life. He wasn't there. No, I had to be

there for that, though. I had to be there for that. And Maul has been

introducing you guys at shows. That's a fact. That was crazy, too. That was crazy.

You know, it's my guy, man. He wore a special jacket. It was wavy. Yeah.

Oh, you wore his wavy coat. Yeah.

all right, so top five in the game right now. Rappers, MCs, wordsmiths, give it

to me. All right, let's go. You want to make a joke to me? You

got to go to two pillars. No, I want to know. I'm going, I got

to go to two pillars. Now, this fluctuate. It might be a top five or

seven. You got to go to two pillars. I'm from back in the day, Jay

and Nas. Then you got to go. I gotta go. I

hate this list because it's retort. It's the same list. Ain't nobody broken to this

list. You and Wes. Kiss. You know what I'm saying? And then when you go

from there, I go to G Rap is in there.

And then where I go. That's four. And then that last one could be.

This is not in no order. Ladies and gentlemen. You understand? It could be big.

I'm saying it could be big or who else who else it's a

bunch of niggas I'm not thinking of but really those the pillars I hate to

sound so cliche but that's like the that's like the the hip -hop arithmetic

coming up you know I'm saying those niggas right there all right it's fine I

got more problematic questions Draco push who won I would

say he said no you said that was a good one. that was a good

one it depends on what you're judging on it depends on whatever It depends on

what you're judging on. nigga. What's your

algorithms? They both were

super entertaining. Super. When they

both niggas start saying super. The fans won.

in that one. Yeah, we'll get up on that. Would you try to put Drake

in? Would you try to put Drake and Push on your debut? Because you have

a relationship with both? That didn't work out well last time. I would. Somebody tried

that. Who tried that? I don't think. He did Wayne and Push. I don't know

if them niggas would be. Not on the same song. I don't think them niggas

would be up for that. I don't think. Were they relationship with that? No, same

album. Not the same song. Like you get a Push feature and you get a

Drake feature. Because I know y 'all have talked about working. Yeah. That's actually what

I'm trying to do. Universal. Is the Drake record done with you and Drake? Let

me play it right now on my phone. Do you have it on your phone?

Yes, I do. All right, so what type of record did y 'all make? Did

y 'all make a girly record? Nah, don't call it a bluff. There you go.

I'm not going to let him play that here. I'm joking. It would be great

to get that, but we're not going to ask for that here. I'm joking. Shit,

it's... Did Drake send you candles? Nah. Oh, good. All right. He sent my daughters

a whole bunch of OVO gear. Nigga, never sent my son a thing. Never

sent him a thing. You put out WAKE, so. But yeah, it's a bar record.

It's a rapper's record. You know what I'm saying? That's good. So, it's one of

those shits. Did you go to the embassy? Uh, nah. He sent me the record.

I did it the way I did that shit in Miami or Atlanta, some shit.

You like Miami, huh? And I love Miami. I fell in love with Miami. Yo,

you new artists like that Miami, boy. Because I'm not going to lie, like, I

just start going to Miami. You know what I'm saying? You know, I'm a Buffalo

nigga. We don't go nowhere. We go to Atlanta. And Niagara Falls. And New York

City. Were you offered a threesome out there or not? Did some young, unsuspecting...

Joe, you know I was. Did some unsuspecting... You know I was offered that. Some

unsuspecting hotties see you and Freddie in the corner. Unsuspecting. And I turned it down.

Good noodling. My girl was out there. She tried to join in. My girl was

out there. She tried to hate, right? Hey, me and my girl. She tried to

join in. Oh, my God. I always get shit like that. Stuff like that makes

me want to rap again. Those type of stories. Invite me and my girl to

the fun. I mean, just go to Wet Willys. You don't need to rap. It's

mad threesome offers at Wet Willys. I'm not going to. I know.

Last time I went to Wet Willys, Rory invited me. I went with him. I

wouldn't just normally congregate there. here um all right well what else do we have

for bennie man uh this week snoop versus dmx versus mm who you taking

okay now how was they doing it they doing the 20 songs a piece 20

20 20 20 buddy i don't know i don't know i think i

think it depends on the tone of it because you see what happened with the

jada fab shit comes up firing here's the throw to the records and he is

at the plate we will have a challenge how the you gonna how the you

gonna be uh We will have a challenge! How the fuck you gonna beat, uh...

All about the... You know what I'm saying? How you gonna beat shit like that?

Benny, you have to answer one of these questions. I'm just trying to say, like...

I don't know if the niggas gonna pick... If this nigga, Snoop, play gin and

fucking juice, like, what you gonna do with that? Go home. He's gonna go home.

Then if this nigga X come back and play, uh... Y 'all gonna make me

lose? Like, I don't know, who watching that shit? It go different. When they first

different. When they first started that versus shit, the niggas with the bigger... I didn't

started that Versus shit, the niggas with the bigger records was winning. Like, it go

like that shit. It wasn't the best records, it was the bigger records. But that

Jada and Fab shit showed you it's not about the bigger records, so it depends

on. Snoop got a longer rap sheet. So if they made it song for song,

if it wasn't a limit of the songs, I'd go Snoop. But it's a limit,

so kind of pigeonhole niggas. I think the answer is Snoop, though. I love X.

I love New York. but Snoop just has so many fucking records, man. But Snoop

just has so many fucking records. Right, right. You know what I mean? It's kind

of like... That's why I'm not even looking at it as a battle. It's just

like... But you can get it there and steal it with your charisma. And you

know, X is a wild nigga. You got to come in here with four pit

bulls. X got six of those teams. Hey, Benny. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for

sure. No, that's not going to be a blowout. I got to tell you, Benny,

just your presence here alone is acting as some type of good luck charm. I

know you've got a situation with your guys over there at E1, and just that

fast, I just got a text from someone that said, Joe, Alan

Grunblatt has a check for you. Oh, fire. Nah, man, look at y 'all for

Big Bob and Evan. By the time, Balenciaga, Joe, hey, if y 'all know how

difficult it is to get a check from Alan Grunblatt, your projects recouped, oh, they

did six years later. Your projects recouped. Oh, they did six years later on, buddy.

They recouped. No, I see you with the Balenciagas, by the way. Like, I see

you shining, buddy. No, man, thank you, man. What do you think about Tory and

Meg? Did he do that? I don't. I would hope not. That's some crazy

shit. When I first heard it, you can't put out your Tory feature now. It's

over. When I first seen that shit, I'm like, that had to be a mistake.

That's what everybody's saying. You know what I'm saying? You gotta have pistol control. You

gotta learn how to work them shits. You just can't have them laying around those

iron machines at the end of the day. So shit happens. People shoot they self

every day. So that's what I... thought it was something like that. I'm like, damn,

he probably was tucking it wrong, girl, backed it out. I don't know what happened.

But then she got on her page and said a crime against her. I said,

this shit getting real. Brian, I said, this shit getting real. Yeah, you know what

I'm saying? Listen to the way street niggas just analyzed the hot topics and the

current events. Maybe he was cleaning his gum. When you pull it out, you got

to have the wrist control. That's a hair trigger. I just was like, yo, that's

wrong. All right, I feel it, I feel it. All right, what's Benny's first single

going to sound like? I Need a Girl Part 3? Griselda -E. If I can

go. Griselda -esque, Griselda -esque, crazy. Conway Westside

gun on there. Griselda -esque, heavy. Griselda -esque. Stick to that. Crazy. Y 'all keeping
