 He was getting ready to go to jail. He had called me like, hey, you ain't trying to shoot the video? I'm like, hell yeah. So he like, I'll be out there on Wednesday. I'll shoot it Wednesday. And that was before jail. And that's before he went to jail. He was talking blood and shit. Menace wouldn't do. We on boss talk one on one. Man, so when you think about, like I said, the come up scene, like you was linked with the game. Yeah, I came up to the game. Yeah, so did you take that nigga to the hoop or what? Nah, he couldn't basketball. That's good. He good at basketball. He good at rapping. You feel me? Yeah, that boy be rapping, man. That's one of the ones right there. Like, when you think of this place right here, this nigga is like... Yeah, nah. You know, only nigga I seen in my eyes that 50 Cent had issues like, this nigga crazy. Yeah, and it just goes. Like half of the time we didn't even know like what the fuck was going to happen next. You feel me? Come out of this room. You just see what's happening. When did y'all link, how old was you? I link with game probably in, I was about 19. 19? Yeah, this is really when he was getting this shit with Dr. Dre. Yeah. So we had a mutual friend too. Shout out to Michael Hunt. Okay. We played ball together and shit like that. So, you know, I was had an influence in the hood and streets and shit like that. So they was really telling me to just come fuck with him and just come hold him down because they want to know some real nigga around. Yeah. So that's kind of how I really got in there. And I was playing sports at the time for like Southwest College. Okay. And then I just fell in love with the music. Man, and the rest is history, huh? Like when you think about the, you and like the South, for some reason Lil Wayne and them have a real connection to this LA culture. When I look at Birdman and them and I've interviewed people and I'll always be like, dang, honey, they love the LA culture. They lived out the blood and all that. The colors, they whole set up is funny because they name cash money after that movie. But then that's in New York. But then you end up looking like the people of LA, you know what I'm saying? Do you ever think about that? Shout out to Birdman. Yeah, Wayne, Wayne the good dude. Wayne the good dude. Me and Wayne had a relationship before me and Birdman did. Yeah, y'all did. Wayne is a good dude, man. So Wayne, like you guys, like when you look at Birdman and that whole, they had a, was it, you was with them before they did what they called the cash money West Coast? Or did you, you was before that, right? Yeah, yeah, facts. Yeah, so how did y'all end up, you know, even putting it, it had to be with the game or something? No, no, it wasn't. It wasn't? No, no, it was just, I think I was on a roll somewhere. Then I ran into Birdman and he was telling me that he really wanted to fuck with me. It was my situation. So after that, we had chopped it up and prior like a month later, I was on the road with Birdman and we was just, you know, getting in, building on the music, having a bunch of conversations and he was telling me like too many rappers and there ain't no CEO, that's why niggas ain't getting looked out for that's why this and this and filming. So kind of, I did my project, I was supposed to do with him, but after that it was, you know, the option. So I kind of took that to come back and build with, you know, my people went and we'll be up to now, you feel me? But Birdman and Wayne, you know, they did so much for me in every different way you think about, you know, I gotta respect them forever. Yeah, like, like it's not, I talked to King Noah, he the guy that rocked with them. You heard, you know, King Noah? Them, they've been on my show. They always show me love, man. It's people that have been around him from Nicki, natural to everybody that been around him. God keeps putting me into Mr. People that rock with him. I know I get to interview him one day, you know what I'm saying? Cause I, I was like, man, I'm a big, she know I am about Birdman. Like this nigga boss, I love boss talk, you know what I'm saying? So it's like this dude here, man, and everybody's story be like that, you know, and it's like genuine, you know what I'm saying? Like, like you, you did, how did the song come about with Lil Wayne? I had really, me and Wayne was real closest this time, so game I have me hit him up so he could get verses from Wayne. So one day I'm like, fuck it, I hit him for myself. Oh. You know what I mean? So he did the, he did the verse for me and then he was getting ready to go to jail. He had called me like, hey, you ain't trying to shoot the video? I'm like, hell yeah. So he like, I'll be out there on Wednesday, that should be Wednesday. And that was before jail? That was before he went to jail.
