 Wait, hold up, hold up, stop, stop everything. Stop, stop the party, stop the party. Welcome back to another episode of the Eighty-Five, episode of the Eighty-Five. Come on, man, come on, man, come on, man. It goes without saying. You can look around the room. We got a whole different setup, bro. Bro, I don't even want to get no introduction because I really feel like I'm in the, I'm in the Dungeon family today. Oh, we in the Dungeon family? Somebody needs to introduce us as the Dungeon family. No, man, we got some real A-town legends in the building tonight. And when I say A-town legends, I don't mean they just live in the last row. These are some of our musical heroes who gave us their soulful toasts with the exact moment when people stopped paying us back and staying where we stopped them standing. Yes, sir. What am I paying for? Oh, damn. We're still family, man. I'm talking about a sense in the strength. I'm talking about we got a seal on us. We got the lumbar jacks. We got part of it. Yeah. Jane Gale. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We got the intro. Cut the intro. Cut the motherfucking intro, J-O-N. Now, we the hat. Now, Gip came through a couple of times and gave us the 4-1. I've seen it. That the mob come. I'm like, we in Gip. Just trust me. I'm bringing the whole everybody. I didn't believe him. He did. D&E came back here. I'm telling you, we come out like, man, whenever. Now, we got y'all here in the trap. Got the motherfucking mark. It's the first mark. And that's what we use that platform for, man. It's the show love to people that we love why they can still hear. You feel me? Come on. Why they can listen. Man, for real, like, I know Carlos, I'm a big C-Lo Green fan. Like, the rap, you as an emcee, I wasn't hip to like that. Loath put me on the high-raw you were as an emcee. Like, all y'all together, I know all the songs, but like, I wasn't as in tune with, you know, the fact that you really got down like that. Like, my shit is the eccentric C-Lo Green, man. I know all that shit. Everybody that's grown, got skeleton bones. They got it hidden away. That's all that something to not to say. Looking over with your girl fucks up in the back of the car. I'm afraid. I'm so excited. So, like, being as though y'all came up together, my first question is, like, did y'all level, how did y'all get to know what each person's style was to make it fit? Because this is an amazing conglomerate of talent, so how did y'all make that work? With all due respect, I got to direct that question to these two gentlemen right here, because they are the founders of Goodie Maw. It begins with these two gentlemen right here, Kujo Goodie, OGT Maw Goodie. Maw Goodie. Give them a brief synopsis of how this thing started, sir, please. Well, you asked about, like, how we came up with, like, the style. Yeah, I make it all work, cuz, you know what I mean? Man, I mean, really, man, I just think that all of us wanted to, you know what I'm saying, put Atlanta on the map, man, at the time, because, you know what I'm saying, we was influenced by niggas in New York, you know what I'm saying, West Coast, you know what I'm talking about, Texas, all them type of folk, man. We was influenced by Cypress Hill, all them type of people, so, then the type of people that we listened to, man, you know what I'm saying, coming up in hip-hop. So, I can remember me and Timo listening to Cypress Hill, listening to Goddamn Cube, and just getting our skills together, man, just homing everything together, man, then we fought around and made the first Goodie Mop song, called It's a Goodie Mop thing, you wouldn't understand. You know what I'm talking about, and it never did come out, when it was produced by my partner, NX, right, Kenfolk. So that was our first Goodie Mop song, so, you know what I'm saying, we was fucking around, Goddamn had some songs together, man, and we were looking for some more tracks, fucking with Goddamn Rico Wade, and Goddamn Ray Murray, Goddamn Sleepin' Brown, start getting some more tracks. So, we started Goddamn Home and Our Skills even more, coming to the dungeon, because then NX just felt like, man, this is what we're going to do, NX ain't finna get no job, you know what I'm saying, NX ain't finna play football, so, shit, man, let's go and see what's going down, man, then we fought around and got on that Southern Player Listed Cadillac music, man. So, me and Timo was on Call of the Wilder, Giff and Celo was on Get Up, Get Out and Get Some, but, shit, we were still, we been grinding in the trenches, so we was just waiting on our time to step up, you know what I'm talking about, waiting on our time to get our uniform like the lock and get that shit dirty. That's kind of like what it was, you feel what I'm saying? So, we was influenced by everybody, man, the whole hip-hop, man, it was just time for Atlanta to stand up, man, it just so happened, the ball jumped in our court, bro. Get up and get out with the first CD I ever had, first CD I ever had. I got the CD player for Christmas. We stopped right here at the West AMO and I ran up in there in the first CD I got. This one, the single, was about $8 because it had the original, the clean version, the instrumental, then it had the acapella on that. I remember when we were young at the West AMO, they had the Sunshine Department store, you remember that? Sunshine Department store had Sears, the big Sears and Roblox over there. I was just going to say, man, we all just got a real mutual respect for each other, and allow each other artistic creativity, you know what I mean? This is me and our creators and our artists, and we're really true to that. We're that first, you know what I mean? And I know, sometimes we're too much of that, so that's why we got a balance with having good managers in place, you know what I'm saying? We're having good producers in place, like Organized Noise and other people so that's really like a natural type thing with us. It's natural. It's organic. So even though y'all was the OGs, what made y'all embrace the young ones and be like, you know what, let's turn this into a group situation? Well really, to be honest with you, man, I don't like the makeup stuff because it's hard to remember the lie, but the truth is Ian Burke, you know what I mean? We were all featured on OutKast's first record, Southern Playlisty. Everybody was just hot and ready to go. You know, we ready to put our music out. Me and Kujo had already recorded 18 songs then, you know, and Gip and C-Lo were working doing, you know, Gip was with East Point Chain Game and we're ready to do some solo. C-Lo was DJ Wynn, you know, and DJ Wynn and Tyrus McClure, so he was grinding doing stuff. He read the bus, you know what I mean? So to make it really work, Ian Burke came to us and was like, Mom, y'all just all come up under the Goodymob umbrella, get in the door with that, and then you can kind of break off into whatever entities that y'all got going as far as the Lumberjacks, me and Kujo Goody, C-Lo Green is the solo artist, Gip is the solo. So it was already pre-playing in the beginning, you know what I mean? We already had the idea that everybody wanted to do their own thing one day, but we were going to come in and sign the deal and get the deal and get the relationship built off Goodymob. I think it was just more of a concentration this time because we felt like we was in a pandemic. It was the first time all of us been home in a long time, first time all of us being able to get in the studio and organize noise. And I think we took our conversation that was on the phone and just all put in the music. Once we did that, I think that it was the moment I think that it was just like riding a bike because we had a real ... At the end of the day, during the pandemic cell therapy all of a sudden just started growing as a song because people started going back and looking at the lyrics and studying the song and saying, man, y'all brought this information 20 years ago and it's now we're actually living in the pandemic. So with that being said, it was like after that it was like let's finish these songs, put them out but this time we had an actual target the pandemic the way we was living. What was going to be the new world? This is the new world we're living in. So with that being said, it gave us an actual plane to work with where actually we probably didn't have a target before then. And I think that right now with the world being we was all locked in our house I think this was the only time it was supposed to happen like this. Because it was like it was a need for 50 miles. Probably it just came out too or too so it was still got damn lit y'all still was going out together still ready man, I mean, shit, bruh, I mean Yeah, we had a third leg of that tour that was defaulted because of the pandemic Man, we just got invited to the NASCAR event where Bubba Stewart was coming with Richard Petty and he invited us to come now to the pit man and everything and that particular event was the beginning of the pandemic they cancelled that and that was it for NASCAR I ain't let you know how deep y'all run anybody's y'all to a NASCAR NASCAR, bruh We need it Who's that peeking in my window? Who's that? Who's that at the door? Hey, this was our 25th anniversary too man Did it be the who? 25 years Man, we got to have some new music for our fans man we ain't really never stop writing we never stop putting music out it's just been on the independent on the dialogue because of the major record labels we ain't really fucking with them no more like that And why is that? What experiences do you know it's a bunch of new artists out here now what advice or experiences have y'all had to make you make that statement right there? I mean, it's just only more of your material man, and don't be so eager to sign shit you know what I'm saying? Don't be so eager to sign shit man get a lawyer to look over that shit for you man and keep your publishing you feel what I'm saying, we did that dealing with the face records that's one thing about them they educated us on a lot of shit they put us in interview classes so we knew what type of stuff to say in front of cameras and whatnot to say in front of cameras but like right now man when you're streaming and everything you're just about to say what you need to say you know what I'm talking about? So even being in that dungeon family area because niggas don't understand niggas don't own thing being in that atmosphere where everybody is at this one location how was that just being around all this musically talented motherfucker man that shit was like resident camp to be bruh you know what I'm saying? no mama, no daddy to tell you what to do man we stayed up all night listening to tracks man tracks might be on repeat all night long niggas wake up, tracks still going you know what I'm saying? rap playing out in your head we couldn't really record down there but shit we homed our skills up in that motherfucker you know what I'm saying? so man it was good being around niggas from southwest Atlanta niggas from east point I'm from northwest Atlanta we coming together and just comparing notes you saw life you know what I'm saying? from your point of view we were still like in our twenties you know what I'm saying? we were some young southern pioneers man getting this shit out of the ground you know what I'm saying? but this shit on our back with outcast I wanted to ask y'all this as a collective as a group when y'all came in contact with that book that Beholder Pal Horse the impact that it had on everybody I wanted to hear from everybody you know point of view you remember that moment absolutely we've been talking about it as a late man just re-addressing it but let me see man was it dark? was it dark? what were we doing then? TLC okay you know and Buster and I next door and you know just faithfully he would just kind of come by and say like you brothers like I just want to pass on some good information that could be of use you know what I'm saying? he was just really a gentleman you know what I'm saying? we was always big fans of his too so I was like damn I forgot how I ended up going to whatever order but like Big Room who's our resident advisor and philosophy of course it's only right that he get the book first he interpreted it and so on and so forth so you're talking about 300 or 400 pages worth of reading and shit so it's 12 or 13 of us living over there at the time so he got it first everybody was patient for that time and it was by his eager for the information because Buster and I had already endorsed it it's the way that he presented to us I was really intrigued about it so we would go we would do do intervals over there I would live over there for maybe two weeks straight and then go home and shower come back so I remember taking the book home with me and reading it while I was away and then bringing it back that was it though we were young and just open and just seeking the knowledge can I say what the book about? yeah what is it about? I thought you was going to tell me I'm so intrigued now what is this book? now I need this book this is a tax book it's called Behold a Pale Horse and I don't even know if it's still in print you know what I'm saying William Bill Cooper it was just foreseeing current events like vaccines pandemics, quarantines marketing and things of that nature plagues and so on when it's so post dated it's almost like conspiracy theory it's like a Stephen King novel it's horrific it's terrifying it really happened that was the inclination it was this new information that we're just excited about even before that both my mother and father were ministers so I have that background guilt was a member of the nation of Islam we were already bringing and then of course we were just men one thing about it is we were mature enough even if our adolescence to have a sense of significance and appreciation for the opportunity and the people around us because how this all happened is we all knew each other from different places these guys they graduated together with the high school together and they graduated with my sister so my sister's group with them but I grew up with Moe I know Moe since nursery school he's like three years older than me you know what I'm saying we were in third grade together we went to Sarasworth Elementary you know what I'm saying so it was dope I knew there was something really significant and special about us being brought together because we knew each other from different places I hadn't seen Drake since elementary school we ended up bumping back into each other going to Frank McLaren alternative school in College Park which is a school for dropouts or people who have chores trying to go back and get there so that's what it was so me and Drake both dropped out of school I hadn't seen him since elementary school we were just re-bonded just by talking about music we were fans of Tribe Called Quest and DOSFX so that's how that shit happened and I introduced Kujo Mitch and DJ Wynn or God Bless the Dead I started with a group called GA Style but he did outcast first demo because I introduced it to them I introduced them to him anyway we went to school one day they came back up and they were like yo yo dude is cool but we met some other dudes like you know he was talking about organized noise and I was like all right damn man I get the rambling man I'm gonna try to forget my bad man you couldn't say anything then we stopped and got some chicken it was cool I was about to ask Gibb if you know how I make bean pads I'm excited so look man check this out B and JD Killer B and King JD they were the homies there was a hustles out the neighborhood so we all went to high school together me and Kujo we didn't battle each other but we had a cipher OG Cook he just came home man welcome home but anyway his house was the thing to do in high school so it's always stacks and stacks cases of beer the whole shit so we go over there and get drunk and get the brawl in talking shit so anyway every day over his crib I had heard Kujo that could rap Kujo and T through Killer B he was the hustling in the neighborhood but he ended up being my manager so he had their demo man god damn go ahead nigga you the type of call to nigga black everybody listening like that go ahead nigga you got me on the call I'm gonna try to talk about some specific shit you didn't want to know nigga this shit is beautiful this is his theory nigga don't know this nigga don't know this how y'all came about so check this shit out so they stand in there got them Kujo a legend you know street legend you know you know and I'm on the way up making a name for myself too you know what I'm saying so they was the lumberjacks he played it for me so when I ran up on them Joe said I heard you could rap I said I heard you could rap but Joe was also got them voted most attractive in high school so my sister was like ooh really nice hahahaha what's up man what's up pretty boy Floyd I'm gonna find that you you should never say that they gonna find that shit so I had already heard of the legend of Willie Knight not only was he like he was infamous but a real brawler on top of that so he was like damn you know what I mean so anyway who won the battle man we just kind of went back and forth just like a showcase well yeah I guess because this is a big doll it was just hood shit you feel me like we're all friends from high school it's a cut part we're coming from somewhere back then this one got the DJ quick album we're banging born and raised but it was that instrumental it's called quick groove boom let's put that up another day you just did it so we rapped over that okay man I might do this shit a segment let me get somebody to talk you gotta tell it y'all battle over yo take it from there y'all battle over the quick yeah we battled over the quick instrumental man I think I remember get with them man and that was the first time we seen somebody kind of rapping sing at the same time you know what I'm saying so I think later on man we took a trip to the dungeon man that's when everybody just started corralling together you know what I'm saying but like you were saying with the pale or the white horse or whatever the name of that book was beholder pale horseman back in the 90s man you know people were just getting introduced to it you know what I'm saying new information you know at the time you didn't really hear no type of information like that coming out of Atlanta you know what I'm saying like strip club music you know what I'm saying underground gangster music you know what I'm saying like hard boys and Sam and Sam all that type of stuff so you really wouldn't hear that type of stuff coming out of Atlanta but when we got to hold that book and then we got to hold the other information about the new world order back then it was like VHS tapes out you know what I'm saying like right now you gotta do it go to google and just type that shit in you can pull it up so it wouldn't really like that back in the 90s when we was coming out VHS tapes that I was over some girls house man and they was just looking at some stuff on the VHS tape and I was sitting down just writing some raps or whatever I think later on that day we were supposed to be going to the studio or whatever but so that shit just bled off into what I was writing then went to the studio organized noise had a sale there for track playing and I was like what shit man let me get down for that shit for a minute so that sale there came on and we had that hook came from a long time ago with doing the lumberjack thing man like pow nobody now who's that peeking in my window that was like some real kind of like gangster shit man and they just let slide you know what I'm saying so the niggas didn't really know what the face didn't really know what they had man you know what I'm saying until they really soaked in that these niggas from the south talking about some new world order shit you know what I'm saying so behold a pale horseman shit you know what I'm saying let's talk to them guys see what they know and that beat man that's one of the best beats ever I don't even remember that's top five beats in hip-hop bro I'll be so high you know my favorite part is a little shit that's like that's cold man so give man do you know how to make bing pa? no I don't I mean I was going to ask you to make me one I never got to that you never got to that deep into it I was brought in by Conrad Muhammad so I was kind of rolling with the gangsta I had two uncles in the nation in Islam man so I know how serious it was I was kind of rolling with him during that time and it was serious during that time because that was the time that he kind of like were going at it with the nation so it was kind of like I got brought into it where I had to choose a side and once I had to choose a side I just said hey I'm going to let music be my guide so as far as being in the nation when I got in the nation Cool Lace was my teacher Cool Lace Cool Lace was a teacher in the mosque and I went to the mosque on Asma Street Brother Tony who was running L.A that was my teacher then and that was who was running the mosque in the West End so for me like the nation taught me discipline I used to go to school there with my nation outfit on I used to have silver rings on on every finger and I just thought that there was just at the time like it was just giving me a way of not thinking like how I was taught for the first time in my life I started saying I'm going to rebel against what I taught what I was taught as a child so that's when I started getting them little books I mean I started bringing the books where I'm a big mama and I'd be like big

started kind of like I ain't into that if you ain't into it it's something about it it's true to it and it was like even when I started thinking about valentine and what the egg got to do with the rabbit you know I started just thinking about it she started making sense I was like wait a minute now somebody give me so when I started going to Alabama talking to my other grandmother I was like shit I can't eat no pork no more she was like you don't want your pig ears no more I was like shit I can't eat them no more Liza Muhammad said that ain't good no more and she was like who is Liza Muhammad and my thing was anything that they rebelled against I was drawn to so the story and the structure first of all when I found out Liza Muhammad was from Georgia that was something to follow but the first book they gave me to study was eat to live eat to live I never heard that before I never I was never taught that information before and then when I read the Malcolm X book that turned me out eat to live I had to read that shit when I was a little boy my uncle gave me that book eat once a day that's it and it's so much information and I advise anybody to read it but just the way that they used to run their program was so crazy like they'd go out and work all day they'd be out all day and then they'd come home and the women would have the meal prepared for the day and that would be the only meal that they ate and that's just how I worked you only eat from what's your woman cooking you only eat from what the family cooked one time per day eat to live all water we can drink water now need to be happy I'm gonna do the other shit that needs water no goddamn jerk all day long outside spreading the word trying to get that scene from Malcolm X standing on them ladders preaching that's what they would do all day and then they would come back at the end of the day and all the women would have the meal prepared for everybody as always man you become the product of the environment we recorded soul food in Curtis Mayfield's home studio we didn't even know that he stayed in the neighborhood but then close to the immediate family was Sleepy Brown's father Jimmy Brown from the group Brick I didn't even know that the niggas got that so that's him playing the flute on Dazz boom boom boom there you go Dazz Crane check it out I'm gonna see Lil Julia right now West Coast Gang Bang I'm gonna do you right now so listen man we literally had living legends because Curtis Mayfield was still alive we were around when he was doing his last album honorable mention of Kool-Ax because he produced his last album New World Order you see how you make the connection there his last living album was entitled New World Order and we did our debut album in his home he gave us some good game what he was telling Kool-Ax he was like hey you know you gotta learn the other tricks of the trade of the industry man I know you want to be an artist and I'm not saying that you're not a good artist but everybody can't be an artist so in this industry you have more tries and attempts than successes he said so every try and attempt needs an engineer so learn the equipment learn the logistics run that back one more time every try and attempt needs an engineer he said so learn the equipment you know what I'm saying learn the tech the tech aspect of it you can do art as recreation you feel me because for me Andy Warhol Andy Warhol has a great quote that says art is what you can get away with you know what I'm saying that's awesome that gives us license to do just about anything you can imagine you don't always have to be a product of your environment but you can be a product of your imagination you know what I'm saying I think you embodied that man I tried you make that I fell in love with you're my kind of people drink good, smoke good the interior is all good the freedom that you chose to jump because nobody I mean Drake did it a little bit but just the whole jumping out there saying I'm going to do what I want to do like where did that come from well you know there's a saying that says well I said it's my saying then go ahead if you get somebody else to say it then he just goes you know niggas not scared of fucking death niggas ain't scared of AIDS ain't scared of jail, they ain't scared of COVID-19 but one thing other niggas is terrified about is other niggas opinion niggas won't get out of bed if the niggas say get out of bed that ain't cool, right? but if you can define that for a moment, God's promise is on the other side of that decision let me ask you about this since you brought it up niggas be scared of other niggas opinion the opinion is the law let me ask you about the niggas experience one of my favorite tracks and it's like it's like on some other shit where it's like what a niggas do what a niggas does what a niggas is, what a niggas will and the niggas in red history the only reason you a niggas cause somebody else wants you to be what a niggas educated, integrated saying we shall overcome a niggas trying to be white is what it seems like a niggas have to come you call me a niggas in my face can't do nothing but walk away but here it is after the middle class they pass by the projects like where we stay since then a niggas got grown she was on the control she still wanted the club but really it's all for another niggas seat and you know how a niggas get when they see another niggas outfit don't want nobody to have what he ain't got that's why the property value ain't no good and a niggas could understand I'm sick of lying I'm sick of glorifying that I'm sick of not trying it's a niggas at home like why they only talking to each other to this dream that she's seeing she felt lead and a great deal of the black man's downfall it's not knowing that we were never niggas at all but you don't want to hear the truth oh she look deep into my eyes and say brother don't you know you can plan about being black you can plan about being black but they mad because they can't be black no more yeah no man we got away we got away with it and I got to acknowledge each and every equal in this room there's something there's a synergy there's a solidarity there's something very unique and special about what we were able to acquire as a collective effort it wasn't intentional it wasn't deliberate it wasn't comfortable enough to be ourselves because we knew each other from other places you know what I'm saying you feel me that's what it was and organized noise you know their governing was liberal they didn't stop us plus we came in with stripes our stripes endorsed and empowered that whole situation we came in with street stripes they weren't in a position that they needed to correct us on anything you know what I'm saying so for example me being in Drake are the little brothers we are the same age but I've been running with the OGs my whole life with that they was kind of being curated shaped and molded but we were way up we've been off the porch and they were dangerous we didn't realize it we were too young to realize that we would be forefathers you know what I'm saying at some point later our persistence and insistence you know what I'm saying our patience and trust with the process is just like playing parenthood we wanted to do music that would grow old gracefully and still perform to this day you know with dignified you know what I'm saying it's one good mob song that will never get brought up which one all the interviews y'all do beautiful skin and it's like it's one of those paying tribute to the black women but nobody ever brings it up and I think it's one of the hardest good mob songs like give me the vibe how did that come about we was early on that we was so early on that Craig Love is a homie out of the neighborhood of Madison with the Mesa School you know what I'm saying should there was a time when all the shit Tupac was doing the song so I think man we was just shit being from the south you know what I'm saying you love your father and you love your mother so it was just paying homage because there was nobody doing that so many niggas were just spending women at the time we just wanted to give black women they flowers especially from us and like you said man that shit lasted man 25 years so niggas can't say that we were disrespecting black women back at that time man we was definitely man up different a lot of love we was on the face records man they wouldn't let us come out with no bullshit you made that point the other day in the interview you made me dawn on me that we yeah man we was on the side too yeah I was coming around with a regular label like death row them niggas were coming through there man them niggas s curls was on fleek niggas were coming there niggas was never keeping secrets you niggas are that big rapper about the streets you niggas are the next two of them never keeping secrets so how would that keep you shit this joke you know it just looked curious I mean it was dope cause you got to see another side of the entertainment up close now you got to see L.A. and babyface up close you got to see the difference between rapping R&B and the money difference you got to see the way usher got treated TLC got treated Tony Braxton got treated like you know to go on family trips with them and be around those type groups at that time it was just like it gave us a lot to look at that other groups couldn't see we had to make sure that the songs that we talked about was at a certain level the music was at a certain level the label we was on we couldn't bring holes and shit in them nah, not when a nigga don't want to keep no secrets in the next studio never meant to lie to you you can't call her a bitch nah she's not a bitch today that's crazy I think that y'all so mogul because once again you know they always talk about us being country I always think we're slow they think we're just the slowest of the slowest but y'all brought a whole intellect side you feel what I'm saying even though the book was the book you know what I'm saying because you got niggas who don't even know nothing about the book you feel what I'm saying it's the way y'all was coming and y'all delivering and what y'all were saying it was like oh these niggas ain't just no country cause like gib came in on dirty stuff like he was reporting live from the news now them boys on the low got them boys on their back oh shit gib what else happened what happened they didn't get track come on gib man tell me about that mutant mind frame that was uh we were one foot in and one foot out doing them time man it was uh gib was moving in the low gib was doing in house school gib was trying to follow Kujo over there in Dizzy Hill I was working I was working camera in Kawai you know what I mean shoo man we were 160 out man some of that meat we got you shoo right there you know what I mean were you still in your dad car man I'm trying to travel in dad car man I took the truck man then he came back you don't know what busing up in the driveway standing up with his hands on the hill like this give me my car you know you fuck but now it was just them times we was all still in everybody was still working and we were still we were still doing a lot of shit we weren't supposed to be doing but me I had I was working in the warehouse I was on the house school MLK behind the church in the plow in the comb and it was just like shit we still gotta get to the money though cause we got down Dizzy Hill and then Jota was getting it so it was like I'm going you should know blue all that shit was going on man Jota was getting it I hear y'all creeping through the window but I'm going to take a block now everybody we got them double dribbling man you know so like Rico open up his door excuse me like Rico wave man 130 all mighty OMP organizational production crew man shout out to sleepy brown aka Jota but anyway he opened up his door to his home man to a wretch like me you feel me so shout out to the big bro man he just had a birthday recently too so much to Rico don't make him like him no more man open up his doors, open up his home everything that's sacred and pure and private man gave it to us to share the winners man niggas was coming over there broke we was living over there too not showering shit like that he might go get one big box of miss winners chicken with the big gallon of sweet tea and feed everybody or like a hundred piece of mojo's chicken wings you know I'm talking about that too hell nah but I want some it's a love thing man emotion thing you feel me like we really got down for each other you know what I mean we really got down so when did y'all realize niggas we are there this is it coming from the hood being niggas from the hood like we did it I'd probably say man we presented the soul train awards for the first time Tupac and Suga and all them man that felt like man on the movie where Pac and Big run up on each other they jump out the humble we were standing right there standing right there right there I really wanted to be a goodie mob like that damn man I'll tell you the story on that we used to perform a lot at the spot Carl Warehouse man that's the kind of where hip hop the city of Atlanta that was really the only outlet where people would go and they would kind of have like an open mic type of thing going on on Friday night past the mic contest so me and Joe used to go down there we kind of made our way through that made our name through that we actually had one event where we battled against Gip in his group on the East Point chain game we didn't even know it was going to be like that we just went we signed up and then we got there and were like hold on and they go get up there and they go oh shit what's up y'all performing too now we went up there we got it rocked that thing they rocked that thing and it came down and it was funny it came down to us two groups you know and anyway you know we won that one give it we won that one we got that one give it but it was all good man that's where the family came together but anyway man after that Goodie Mark came together we performed together as a group with all four of us and his publicist two-part publicist came up to me after the show and she was like yo two-part trying to get with y'all and I didn't believe her you know I'm like who are you I don't know you I ain't ever seen you with pop before I didn't say that but that was kind of the energy I was giving her and she came at me and she was like nah nah nah I got real information on you know he said Clinton so then I was like okay you know what you're talking about so I said well what are you trying to do she's like you know he just want to get with y'all and just kind of talk to y'all and he's just trying to figure out how to get up out of jail right now so I was like you know god damn he ain't got no money to get about jail I was like damn it he ain't got no money in the car meanwhile get over there like shit we get all some of that men shit talking junk about that why shit man why shit about that it was a million dollars to get him out straight cash getting good amount of food and fucked up I love that though man our legacy is you know attached to his man we was in the company that great this man you know what I mean speaking of Atlanta like you said Atlanta wasn't known for being the type of guys that y'all displayed it was like when y'all start hitting the road and going to these different cities as a good mob you know what I mean it's what Gil said the other day man he was just saying how you know that was the era before internet all this shit you know what I'm saying cell phones with cameras any of this shit so we want to send niggas until we song you know what I mean we was the first to go to New York you know what I'm saying yeah and represent I think the first time like the whole hip hop community came together was that one of those first maybe that second or that third source awards were sure you know the famous quote yeah but we was out there we was right there as you know did that the same one with Drake said y'all yeah that's the same one that shit was lit that shit was lit I'm gonna tell you like if y'all remember the clip when Snoo was like y'all don't love it you see that police baton they had all the niggas had them batons they hold crew they were 50 deep I don't say who licensed these things they were all they were all at least silo size but they were all about 6'5", silo size and they were just us football line man but you know one thing that was good about us like what you say man we interlaced, we were centrics we gypsies all that kind of shit all the other extra shit but that real niggas shit is stink off of us you know what I'm saying you feel me so like yeah we was in the dog pound man there ain't no police on her you said y'all were brawling I'm gonna say it like that cause we don't want to keep it real I want to talk about how it really really is you know what I mean like I want niggas to know welcome back to the 85 South so we end up with a good ball come on man it was with pride and with necessity bro we had to do it we were the first we couldn't take no guns with us no land cross lives so man it was the lyrics man we weren't talking no crazy we were just talking some real Atlanta shit man they ain't never been to Atlanta you know what I'm saying they ain't never been on Cameron Road been on Cascade, they ain't never been to Green Bride they ain't never been down on the interstate none of that stuff so when they heard all that stuff in the music they was just they wanted to know what it was all about when we hear some stuff from when NWA came out I was like man I'm scared of them man for Rick if you listen to how Timo come in and you wouldn't like say you ain't know him and you just heard the niggas come in and he say you know they making it hard on the yard fuck Chris Dodd and fuck Marshall Clark I believe every rap you ever rap Timo I have a brother fuck what you talking about cause it's like the way that your boys come across you ain't bout to bullshit a nigga with that much aggression but he's like I ain't gonna get too mad cause I need niggas to hear how mad I am we loved it though man cause in the time that we coming man Atlanta was like gladiator school did you say OG Atlanta was like gladiator school around that time cause this was the era before gun play it was two of the niggas that had guns little girls jumping rope sound gangsta Tameka ain't sitting outside tripping and skipping rope till the beats from my Jeep I'm like nigga open that ain't some gangsta shit that sound gangsta but that's some real shit and niggas listening to it gotta respect it you know what I'm saying why he ain't say he shot a nigga that went to the crib and drunk a bill now this nigga just kept it real all the way real and you can't do nothing about that you know what I'm saying so when you see when they saw them all when we was doing shows man they was just sitting looking man just listening man cause they ain't never heard niggas four niggas from the south you know what I'm saying spitting on some real live music from organizing all that but then we were stepping up the stage getting down into the audience and cypher with niggas we cypher with boot camp click and you know duck down rap man these songs made such a huge impression on my life like niggas come in on the song when the scene unfolds 13 years old expose themselves it's like how you gonna listen to all of that you don't listen to a part of that niggas got hit that whole time by the end of that verse everything in the room is moving just like in video games it's just like audio dope for real and they made niggas who loved the craziest hip hop stop and be like hold on they might just be listening up how niggas wasn't really read man they was really getting their knowledge from music you know what I'm saying let me hear what Goodimaw gotta say go look that up I could deal with that so I mean really that's what it is man you want to put something real in your rap we didn't know it was gonna last this long 25 years we were just being hood reporters man at the end of the day you know what I'm saying you know how they identify with them it's like algorithm you know what I'm saying they looking at patterns and shit like that one thing we're always unique everybody rhymes in different patterns you know what I'm saying so I think that's what New York they're proud about us and they realize that they were dealing with a different kind of ambition you know what I mean you know what I'm saying because and then you gotta factor tempo into it because like you know at one time everything that came from Atlanta came was derivative of Florida so it was all skating rink and booty shakes so you going at 100 and got them 26 beats from me I was like let's go let's go 7 pounds 7 pounds 7 pounds I think it's pretty loaded man this is what I was thinking oh man we got a pound but you see what I'm saying though so when we turn it down we then you go all the way back to mmm no one got something to say and I get back to you but see that's what I'm saying that's what I love about the music though it always and that common sense it's a 90 Buddha all y'all niggas just keep bumping with the Buddha if y'all ain't from the south then you won't even know who I was referencing man that's the guy that was OG JT Muddy man for the pours of Claire Reverson they're my niggas I'm my extended family man so no disrespect for all of them JT Muddy got some pipshit too that's what I'm saying y'all ain't from the south because that nigga came when I first heard JT Muddy with that y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all let me first think cause I feel like a real rap they're the ones that gave me inspiration about just lyricism because you know you can look at shout out the devil in there the devil's dad what you know about drugs but they um what was the song Spore Rock you know what I'm saying my account's too much to sleep solo I wear a polo while I'm playing polo that was spittin so it was them and then it was 8 ball and MJG to let me know okay like this motherfucker who

what I can say man this generation of now I see remnants I see my reflection in everything everybody's doing one thing about what you speak you say it often enough it casts a spell you feel me like it's magic it's black magic when we doing so on the west coast you know what I mean the spell they spoke death and death dies life lives on we spoke life and we breathe life into now a decade and a half of offspring keeping the torch burning for the south so all the different am I saying that right I'm just saying all I choose are rich that's all you're saying that's what you're saying that's what I'm trying to say pop that mood hold it pop that mood hold it get the bottle get the bottle I've been a fan of everything I can start naming random shit I'm talking about our artistic shoes everybody was inspired by Dungeon Family all of the styles and the grail for the south all of the many different things that you can do and I was now like where you have to come to even try to branch off or do any music niggas are coming here and it was like even now you're here do you even know who started here you got to go test the pop let me ask you this that's ours that's what I'm saying how that make y'all feel you know what I'm saying this one of the ones I feel like it's slept on too that bass here jazz I get a lot people mention that a lot to me man I'll tell you about this this is like a mistake the beat keep cutting off cause some of it got erased when we were doing that beat so it keeps stopping cause a part of it got erased and they be like man just fuck with it just leave it like that that's called artistic presence straight to the point what I say earlier man art is what you can get away with man we're going to sit up here and try to speak as colorfully you know what I'm saying as effectively as we can to make you feel like we knew a little bit about what the fuck we was doing but it's all been a blessing man you can't really I can't even articulate it I can talk like a motherfucker but like it's still it's beyond it's bigger than words man what we was able to do man it's a blessing man we humble my name that's stepping out that's one of my favorites too zing zing zing that was the time of Atlanta in the karma time that was karma y'all remember the club you got to get me up on the club that's a Stan Roche that was like no that was some downtime yeah ain't no downtime stay away from downtime you know pimp Stanley that's when Madonna was hanging out in Atlanta yeah that's when the other level of Atlanta started that's when people started seeing Dallas come out more Dallas started coming out more Dallas also you know he stopped the trap yeah he stopped it that's when more of us started seeing what that lifestyle was that was another life that was another life that was big risk that's a long way from 160 I feel do y'all feel like y'all get the recognition you know Ben is though like you said y'all touch so many artists and y'all can see y'all influencing all these artists do you feel like when people run into y'all they say oh man thank you y'all flower man that shit awesome man I mean the same shit that I used to do when I used to see people that I looked up to you know what I'm saying now you know what I'm saying that's happening in effect now you know what I'm talking about so I'm saying I was 13 years old y'all came out of shit my dad and my mama put me on the goodie mob or whatever man we still listen to the goodie mob so man it's great man but that's how it is man when you um when you raising a flag for your own shit man you some full hungry young man just ripping through adversely like it ain't shit cause like you said man they country they don't know nothing about man I mean what the hell kind of song we sell therapy but man we kept pushing man we was on the road by ourselves you know what I'm saying all four of us I'm talking about going into a big air crowd white boys shoot birds at you you know what I'm saying man what the hell is that man y'all don't fuck with us man we got our state life that mean we love y'all I'm like for real like bro we come from and that don't mean with that man you know what I'm saying we had to go through all that man airplane leave in Georgia I wasn't finna go nowhere they were out in the state right here one of the first shows we did man there was a stage built on top of them fucking big spools they got the you roll them out and put the wiring for the fucking uh the lines, the power lines, them big spools they put a fucking like a fucking not a coffee table when them folding tables am I right you remember that shit we got them sharing we had one motherfucking mic that damn Bobby Brown mic hahahaha hahahaha he's done it the whole thing the whole thing the whole thing can I take your order man fool back around fool back around that was great that was our first fool we got damn job rule he was part of a group called you click man it was shot him the rugged child who was with Wu-Tang OC, Mike Jamalemore royal flush hip hop boy that was a time to be alive back then what Jamal like that he say yes hahahaha every pussy ever yes he said that that's something I was glad that y'all back doing it because like I said those times are gone we'll never get those times to get now everything is recorded you can't miss no moments now like these stories that y'all got we need y'all to tell them I got one more I got one more to ask people always bring up C. Lo song crazy right that shit took over the world you know mine my shit is smiley faces though that shit is crazy like that's one of them for real happy type songs you get what I'm saying man fuck you that one too fuck you fuck you fuck you hahahaha what I always say any success we ever had it all lends itself to you know what it extends from it extends from the dungeon family tree you know what I mean a lot of those things you know were given a license you know what I mean because we had already accomplished prior so they extend that far into the world like you know it's truly a testament to where it starts from the strength of the roots the roots of the situation man there's dungeon family so we always do it like you know say hey man if outcares win we all win so god damn it when that's a hit record it's eye hit record we get a piece of you see what I'm saying and vice versa so you know basically they was gnarled broccoli but crazy is a dungeon family record you know what I'm saying dungeon family is what mother fucker gotta respect now what adjustments did y'all have to make once y'all blew up when y'all coming from the streets of Atlanta and becoming superstars like is everybody want to make it but they don't know what it take to get to get there to decide that you gotta deal with all these different personalities and come on give me talk that shit that you know is bitch ass niggas but you gotta deal with them because they signed the checks like this gift department let me drag your drag on I think it like this we came in already knowing a lot and more than the average artist knew you know what I mean so off top we was already a problem to the record label we was already a problem to the establishment the things that we came in talking about we was already a problem to the establishment so with us knowing that we knew we had to work harder that's why stage shows were always live or live bands and that's why we did the things we did and that's why I felt like C-Lo was the singing breaking the shows down doing the poetry breaking it off letting Lumberjacks do what they was doing when we was doing Call of the Wild verses and doing Get Up Get Out we stayed on what Pity Ma was about at the same time we knew that us talking to people and being on BET it made us a little bit more important than the average rapper at the time because everybody was just sprung in one direction and with that being said we just asked a lot of questions when we got to Chicago and now we're not with the face people we were arrester people we started asking these people questions like when we got taken out and all of a sudden we're sitting at a restaurant and we're taking 80 people out instead of us sitting there and being like it's cool and we order and order we'll be like shit how am I going to call who paying for this shit what the fuck going on and they'll be like they're proms even though they got hit records I'm going to tell y'all about the incident as soon as we went gold we was in a room with LA and us just being so militant and so military minded it was almost like it was like congratulations y'all go and it was like yeah that's cool but we were organized fuck you and it came off like that to them because it was like and to this day I think about I'm like damn was that a mistake but it was like that's how we felt because that's how we came in the game we were sitting in Curtis Mayfield house and he took me in his room and he showed me the original shit from Superfly and he said y'all give never sell your publishing until you're ready to lead the game and you gotta think having these conversations with actual legends it made us different it made us difficult because even we got to the table with gold records and they be like yo we got that 250,000 for y'all and we'll be up in there like shit fuck that shit this ain't no money because we always broken down to it's four of us so even right now that's saved up 25 years later right now we sit here we own everything we have recorded none of them niggas can't even say that you know and they say we see everybody with the big how we know y'all so we know y'all got the shit but they can't offer us enough money to handle it see as long as we still hold our balls and our draws hey man they got respect and love right them boys did enough with them awards and all that but I'm talking about these streets the streets in the streets cause we still that's the truth so even like not giving part of the ownership you think they kind of scared the label no it's just that they know we always been smarter than what we spoke what we look like but how different to say then in capo what you said it was a mistake because it was an assumption it was a misunderstanding we never sit down at the table had a conversation our action was our opinion you know what we did even in the art form even just the energy was our stance and opinion so they never even asked us after this you were like nah fuck you we never say fuck you anything we doing in art form was like fuck you they pay for Manchurian candidates they pay for Manchurian candidates they pay for somebody that's fixed you know that's appointed you know to mule whatever agenda it may be you know what I'm saying like you know they don't they don't support independence right cause y'all gonna be independent y'all gonna end up spreading it out to others when you help me be independent you can't say that that makes no sense you gotta either be independent or not that's the deal they ain't like that that side of the game y'all can be a counselor to the layman independence is the question of knowing your worth you know what I mean? and at the same time think about it we all was on the same labels we seen what was going on with TLC we seen what was going on with Tony Brest but think about that that label was so cold the face was so cold even the artist didn't talk to each other about that cause the game was so good shit you got the money you can make everybody here right for a little while for a little while it's the last one for a little while cause that's like they give you the upfront money you get part of the sales but niggas ain't even think about publishing or radio play let's not make it sound like it's something negative we talking about business business is business man it's a church and state you don't get what you deserve you get what you negotiate that's a bar right there business like church and state you don't give what you work you give what you negotiate business is definitely business business is business cause if you don't know you don't know now I had a lot about y'all was around during this era I heard shit got a lot of people paid went in and did that to you getting a dollar or something per record did that shift all the way through the industry or just the people he affected personally it kind of shifted all the way through it kind of shifted all the way around it kind of shifted all the way around we actually began to make more off records then because when we first came in the deal we did I mean it was so insane so terrible of a deal but like C. Lo said that's what we negotiated he called some young black men that were excited about being with the face records baby face y'all want to sign us let's go whatever be honest with you we probably would have signed it without even letting the lawyer look at it we would just throw that crunk about getting down with them cause we were artists and young kids and that's why they get them young because they're young and dumb not mean dumb but dumb but just uneducated just don't know what to do or how to do it but it's a good way it's a good thing it should be I will give him credit for that going and getting the people that money I mean that's the type of stuff people want that's the type of person you want on your team somebody like that he has some negative and some positive qualities that were good for business let me ask y'all this y'all were in the front in fact when the south started the official run in hip hop did you ever think the run would last this long for Atlanta to be that place still running hotbed that it is from the time Bobby Brown got the town all the way up until now or whenever that turning point in music was even he knew it was somebody that long you get what I'm saying that's why he's such a good boy come on I mean New York had their chance like they don't have another chance but it was like they started it first it was born up there but it had to keep growing had to keep growing then come down to the west coast then come down to the southwest coast and it ended up down here in the south and we just embraced it so much because I guess we just been kicked out of the conversation for so long and then when you talk about us in the conversation you know what I'm saying you know what I'm saying so I mean just for young emcees right now that do their history and watch the videos and listen to the radio man and try to make their rhymes different from everybody else or just trying to get some get some drip out here man just get lit or whatever man and try to just push that envelope man because this is our genre right now you want people to respect your genre just like people respect country you know what I'm saying they have big ass rewards for country people jazz I mean it's saying blues so you know what I'm saying bring some to the coach so it's like whatever these young brothers doing it's alright to have fun because that's what we was doing we didn't know that there was going to be as big as it was our whole album wasn't about sale there our whole album was about shit the dirty south what was going on in the south you know what I'm saying in the trap the name goodie mark came up out of the trap you know what I'm saying but it evolved into something else you know what I'm saying people know a nigga for 25 years so I was just about to speak on evolution man like shit man it's never no disrespect to where it's birth you know what I'm saying we are the bottom man of the east coast we are relative I feel immediately connected to where the east coast initiated hip hop I'm totally and completely inspired by east coast hip hop love it that's facts you don't go back to the womb go to the tomb hip hop ain't nothing but like 40 something years old this is a big baby you know what I'm saying it's like we still growing it's going to grow in past us you know what I mean and the irony of it is this generation is owning more their country and making more money than any other prior generation off their content and culture so you got to salute that you got to salute that but it's most accessible and most influential I feel like as a whole we're operating on our lowest frequency you know what I'm saying that's all you know like the earth is getting a large omission you know what I'm saying you feel me a very destructive energy you know what I'm saying you feel me in my opinion if God is but one thing if God is but one thing is time if God is but one other thing is balance that's all we got to have we were your niggas we will kill you if you fuck with us out here just like the rest of you P.S.A. don't get it fuck the when we hear the representation of balance co-existence co-habitance a true community, a true culture it's balance that's how we're here to be as long as the balance can be supported just righteousness you know what I'm saying that's it man would you hear that? I mean you know I'm gonna be agreeing like I'm in church to the next series influenced by heavily even if I would say losses because losses put me on to a lot of goody mob I was familiar with the stuff that everybody knew but he put me on to the stuff that I was like whoa these niggas was really and once you get that information you see how much game y'all lay down so for us to be here and be able to just chop it up and talk to y'all that's why we like when these niggas is really right here you know what I'm saying the internet wasn't really piping like that so you wouldn't really know but until now until you just start searching out a T-Mobile or searching out a Gip or a C-Lo or a Kujo then you will see new music out there you know what I'm saying but just like the radio station they move on like Q said they have a new nigga next year you feel what I'm saying so it's all about what you do like P said it's all about what you do with your 24 hours you gotta eat hours to sleep what you do with the rest of it what you do with it you know what I'm saying so it was just a blessing that when we were young we was able to just write all that shit down man and was able to just spit that shit on them live instruments and man make a name for ourselves bro I like it though man internet is mass production mass consumption you just gotta work at the rate you know what I'm saying you feel me you just gotta do a lot of what you do that's how you compete and that's working hard you know what I'm saying you feel me that's grinding and fucking committing yourself like a motherfucker man they've been telling us for five years to get y'all on here every week I can't call him right and he just made a good point if it's if you ain't never heard of this new music you know what I mean
