 You like the music? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you like the music? Hold on, hold on, hold on. I love Boys in the Hood. In fact, I tell you, I tell you, Thomas Got Truth, an easy-broad boys in the hood that can sit in my house, they laughed at his ass. Woke up quick at about noon, just thought that I had to be in Compton soon. They laughed at it. We on Boss Talk 101, 101. Here we go on Talk. Lanzo, man, listen, man. I'm gonna go back a little bit, back into the story. I'm gonna get back on this other side with you and Dre, because y'all, you know, he was in there, I seen him in, I seen the picture. You know what I'm saying? He was on there too, but he was really posing on that thing. You know what I'm saying? I ain't never been ashamed of my shit. I do my shit with pride, baby. Yeah, so that was the disco era. You gotta understand, this is a different. I know it. I know what, it wasn't quite the disco. We had just come, we had come in off of it. Right, we were coming out of disco, and we was coming into Electro Funk. Electro Funk, okay? Yeah, disco, when I first started trying to get records played or get record deals for us, oh, disco gon' die. That's why I keep saying, how can we be at the 50th anniversary of hip hop? Let me, did you tell me that hip hop was older than disco? It ain't capy, but I'ma roll with the masses, okay? But disco, I'm disco'ing in high school damn there, okay? Go ahead. You basically, at this point, you don't want, the rap music is coming. It comes in, hey. I'm loving it. I'm hip hop, and I'm talking about that first phase. I'm loving it. I'm talking about the cool hurt, all of the first phase. You see it, but the movie say you didn't like it too much. You didn't want to play it in your club. Keep these fat asses shaking. Don't play none of that street ass rap shit, all right? I want these motherfuckers thinking about pussy, not pistols. See, that's what the movie said. Let me tell you what the movie, let me tell you something about movies. Tell you about something about movies. It's something that's called creative license, okay? Niggas can take one thing and put it on something else to make it more interesting. As long as they don't put me in a dress, because I never did know shit like that, they can, or do some shit that's way out of my character. I did not like something about them, but that wasn't the music. But what was it? It was the name. Niggas would have had it. Niggas with attitudes. I'm born in the 50s, man, I'm 65 years old, man. I'm born in the support of 1957, dude. Well, when I heard the word nigga, it was not in mixed company. My daddy called, if my daddy called somebody nigga, you had to really mess up. Okay, but still, now you hear that word, but these boys, they got a lot of music. Did you like the music? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you like the music? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I love boys in the hood. In fact, I'll tell you how this got through. When the boys, when the easy-broad boys in the hood that can sit in my house, they laughed at his ass. Woke up quick at about noon, just thought that I had to be in Compton soon. They laughed at it. They laughed at it? They laughed at it. Oh, you two laughed at it. Everybody laughed at it. Ray, yo, everybody laughed at it. Who else? Everybody else in my house laughed at it. Q was there? Q, yeah, Q was there? They all laughed. They like, oh, he's trying to rap. Oh my God, that was the attitude. Who wrote boys in the hood? Q did, but understand this. Understand this, understand this. At that time, one of the hottest records in the country was Pickin' Buggers by Bismarck. You write it to the sun, a sweet like sugar, but it's rather on the bulk of it, and it's called Pickin' Buggers. Now when I'm playin' my life, be closer to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pickin' Buggers, man, come on, don't. That's hard, man. Okay, so when he came in the house, everybody laughed and like, oh man, I don't know, I don't know. And I said, you know what? Don't laugh, man, cause strange as shit has happened. I'm an optimistic motherfucker. That's been my claim to fame. That's why when I, when you go to a hip-hop event, everybody know me, cause at one point in time, everybody that came through my house on my glove. Sometimes if they laugh and they made it. Don't mean nothin'. But they laughin' at it, cause they don't know if it's gonna go. Cause Easy Voice was not a typical rapper's voice. It was not, man. Not a typical rapper's voice. It was not a typical rapper's voice. And Dre then chopped it up, took it forever to do the shit. Easy was embarrassed to do the shit, cause he, that's why he threw a cube and yellow out the studio, locked the studio up, cause he didn't want to put glasses on the whole nine yards. That shit was real. That was the real part. That was all real. So boys in the hood. What's wrong with boys in the hood? It's not a gangster record. It's not a gangster record, okay? So when people have to understand, look at the early pictures from NWA. They were not gangster imaged. They were wearing tams and caps and jeans and shit. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one. Yeah, we gon' talk.
