 Today's price is not the same as that one. This is the price you raise over. And then I got in trouble with cop killing. Okay, okay. So it derailed the whole shit that was all Warner Brothers. So it would have been a part two maybe. How the hell are you gonna wear this and sell poison to our people? You ain't shit, damn. Yeah, they had a script for it. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101, 101. Yeah, we gon' talk. Y'all going to New Jack City. Yo, this is Queen Latifah. Bring the song to you. At this point. That New Jack City thing, I gotta get this out, man, so. Right, get some James Cagney type shit. You know what I'm saying? That's how you livin', baby, even large, brother. When you think about the New Jack City, have you seen Wesley Snipes and those guys since all that happened? Yeah. Have the co- I mean, I always wanted to, you know I wanted a part two of this New Jack City. You know, in my mind, it was gonna happen. Castle that bitch. I'll buy it now. You know, I'm like, we gon' get that thing. It got derailed because Wesley, when it did, he went and did Demolition Man. He got $7 million worth of New Jack City. That was the full budget. So he went up in his, today's price, not the same as that one, raising the price over. And then I got in trouble with cop killin'. OK, OK. So it derailed the whole shit that was all Warner Brothers. So it would have been a part two, maybe. How the hell you gonna wear this and sell poison to our people? You ain't shit. Yeah, they had a script for it. You ain't asking all these questions, man. This shit died it, though, man. You put a lot of ads for it. No, I'm asking because that's my history. I'm just looking at what I love. And the script basically started with pretty much Wesley on a gurney in the hospital. That's what I thought. So he made it through. Damn. Yeah, that would have been lovely. And they wanted me and him to go after the actual people that were bringing the drugs in. He was going to go over to the other side. I was going to get gangster from that perspective. Wow. But with such an iconic film, I'm like, it should have came out. Well, it's all business. It's all money. You know, people that make movies don't watch movies. They just invest money, so the money doesn't add up. That's all that matters. Wow. My husband and I, we always have a debate on something. Well, let's finish this debate. Shut that down. Yes. Who started hip-hop or rock? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's an impossible answer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got people like Coca-Cola Rock and, you know, I mean, the legend goes that had a lot to do with Ku-Herk. That's why she's Jamaican, man. This is not a good conversation. The legend goes that Ku-Herk was the first person that had the stereo that threw the parties. And he created the ability. See, hip-hop started with the breaks, the breaks of the record. That was the genius of hip-hop. Ku-Herk decided every record has a breakdown. It's a drum break. And it's where the music gets down. So he figured out why play any other parts of the record, only play the breakdowns. And they, now you've got only instrumentals. You've got the get-down. That's the best part. And he did parties where he would not have played anything but the breaks. Now there's a legend that says that the dancers were called breakdancers because they danced over the breaks. But then I just heard Crazy Legs, one of the OGs, Rock Steady Crew, say that breakdancing made up by his manager, Lady Blue, who just out of nowhere called it breakdancing. Like, he was like, oh, what the fuck is breakdancing? I get a call the other day and say, Rudy Ray Moore Ryman was one of the first entries to Ryman and flipping. And you know what I'm saying? That's what I heard. It's possible. I don't know Ryman. Tina Marie Wrapped, a fatback band, King Tim the Third. But hip hop is in rapping. Hip hop is the culture. The culture. So rapping is a vocal delivery. A lot of people have tried, like Iceberg Slim, rapping. There you go. But the reason the rapper, like Melly Mel was the first person to use the term MC. The Last Poets. Last Poets, right, but it wasn't over a beat. So this rapping, the stuff I was doing wasn't over a beat. So it was a mixture of a bunch of things and stuff. Cowboy from the Furious Five was the first person to say hip hop. So all these things turn into a culture. And the hip hop culture is four elements. It's DJing. You could be a DJ. That's part of the culture. A graffiti artist or a graffiti writer. They call them writers of dancer or MC. The MC's early job was because the DJ was playing and these breaks was to talk about the DJ. But then like from Jamaican, you have the toasters. You have the people that chant over the DJ. But it's really all about the DJ. The DJ, how great the DJ is. That's why early rap groups are Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Jam Master J and Run DMC. Fresh Prince. I mean, Jazzy J and French Prince. The DJ starts first because without the DJ ain't no party. I can't show up rapping. Ain't nobody playing no records. I mean, he got to come with all the equipment so I can do my thing. That's why you wanted to be a DJ in the beginning when you came out. And I started to get more love from getting on the mic. So I was like, shit, if I can, these speakers around. New crates. Yeah, so I hooked up with the New York City spin masters, Hengy and Evil E. They were from Brooklyn. And they were already spending at parties in LA. So I hooked up with them. They knew how to scratch. I said, look, let me show up at your parties with you. And next thing you know, I got my name on the flyers and stuff and that's how I started getting around LA. I told Faze on last night. Faze on hit me with a blow last night. Said that he won a contest and you was the one that he won it. Ask him then I went, I said, man, you ain't no, you ain't no DJ man. Hey, but I actually asked him how he got to deal with the good names. You really want to hear this? Oh yeah? Yeah. Yeah, that's another story. Wait a minute, Faze on top of it. He said he was a DJ. He said he used to make some scratch. Said he won a contest. He won one of your contests. He might have. And I'm like, I don't remember. I won a contest. I won a contest at Carolina West where Curtis Blow was the judge. Whoa. See y'all don't forget that. And you can't forget that when you win some at that early, early over stage. And really that was the moment I thought I really could do it. Because Curtis Blow was a real rapper. Yeah. And he was a star. And for him to say, I had enough to win that contest, I left that night like, I might have some action at this. And then I didn't really take it serious. Then I saw Run DMC at the Sports Arena. And they had lasers and shit. And I was like, yo, this shit is gonna be big. Because up to that point it was only done in garages, you know, small clubs, street shit. So I was like, now I'm hustling. So my nigga's like, you better get this money, man. Rap shit. Yeah, nobody bought no cars rapping. Like, cause no one had made no bag yet. You know, it was just something to do for fun. So when I saw them, it was like, this is about to be big. And that night I think I went home wrote an album. Like, I went home and started working on my craft. Motivation. Yeah, that was the motivation. Yo. Boss talk one on one. Now get it. Yeah, we on Boss Talk TV. Shout out to Ihi, the reason you see me. We doing numbers. Y'all looking PV, y'all looking hungry. We looking greedy. Remember back then, we were Pope. Next to you.
