 But for all the people who didn't come from my era, my name is Triple Sace. I'm an ex-member from the Teva Squad. Should I say Big Fun Squad? Because you know Big Fun is who? The main Teva Squad at the end of the day. Cuban is my brother. We can fight, hug, whatever, that's my nigga, you know what I'm saying? That's my brother. Without the music, I don't need this music. It's a fucking Cuban. But what I expect, I holler at him. Like yo, I got this DQ to get on my new album. You know what I mean? He took it. You know, I love it. I want to get on it. Didn't answer back. You know what I mean? What can I do? But that's still a little bit bad. That's different with you. I'm again now. I haven't seen it. I haven't spoken to it. I've seen it one time personally. But it was never no animosity with them. It wasn't even animosity with Joe on the back. I left them some real business. You know what I mean? But I was just disappointed that my name wasn't kept alive throughout all these years. This whole decade. I'm going to make songs for my fuck Joe. He's a piece of shit. He don't do shit for nobody. That's not my problem. I actually speak louder than words anyway. You know what I mean? You'll see that. If you be around them, if you want to deal with them, you see it for yourself. I'm going to tell you. And if you want to hear every Cuban tell you everything. A lot of shit's going on in the past. And we're not a crew no more. But we're talking about my history. You know what I mean? And my history came from that era. I was part of Tupper Squad. You know what I mean? When they could see me, they'd be like, yo, that's that nigga right there. Two to six here. Tupper Squad. They would be like, yo, that's that triple six nigga. He's the underdog. There's new albums coming out. Now that's what's happening now. You know what I mean? The only thing that I feel disappointed in life, confused about is why isn't her name alive right now. Of course, I'm going to talk to you because you're Latin. I'm going to talk to a couple of other Latin artists. And they know, like, y'all promised them, he's know why I'm doing this. So, you know, it's like the respect is there, but not the notoriety that he deserves. He deserves to be, to have his day on MCB. People that have his day on High 97. Not just because one hour, two hour, whole fucking days. You know what I mean? Because he was an icon. He was the first Latin rapper to go platinum. Name me another one. Name me another one. And if you do, it's going to have to come from the same camp. Like, that's why I'm here. That's why I'm triple six. I'm the biggest. Fun game. Fun added the triple to the six. But it was the six before that was triple jams. So, Fun was like, yo, he did a freestyle with Tony touch, me and Cuban. And then Fun got on it. And then Tony was like, yo, who your man right there? Yo, that's six. No, no, no, no. That's triple six. The Beast. And everything I ever wanted, I went, huh, I quit. I was a beast about it. My name, triple six, is going to come from always the devil, and the Christ. You don't believe in God. Nah, I got nothing to do with that. Rap is a sense of imagination. That's your name. You know, some people take it a little deeper and they incorporate their name to be what they are. You know what I mean? Or try to be what they are. I'm the beast. So that was my name, triple six, the Beast. Before it was just about right and right. And just like listening to beats and picking the best beat and writing the best hook. But now I see that music is way more than just going in the booth. It's like a young artist who's just a good talent and don't know that there's other things going on with the music. You know, as you know, you're always getting like, should I say, you get like a down play for a while. You get down from being a young artist and trying to make it. And then you realize that your songs are good but you can't break the deal. You don't know nobody. When I go back since I was like 12, I'm 36 now. That's what it is. We had our era. I'll run with that 90s ever. But I go back as far as 12 because my older brother was a DJ. He DJed with Grandmaster Flash. He came with all the top DJs back in the day that do block parties. I was a little kid just running around for my brother. But he also did commercials like for Rollades and different kind of commercials that they wanted hip hop involved. So I had a deep voice as a young kid. He would use my voice and channel that shit to the commercials. So I got my first hip hop check at 12 in Rollades. I think I took it serious after I got that first check though. Then I started getting more people around me involved. I knew a lot of talent around me. One of the first artists that I ever knew came and grew up right next to me. His name was J.Q. So being around him was like oh shit this motherfucker we thinking of some crazy shit or something. He was the way ahead of his time. He was the J.D. back then. You know what I mean? So being around him and then I had another artist that cheesed me that was around me. He was a matter rapper. So he was in the crew. So he'd come at you with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rappers. Like you can't beat them. Like God didn't think it don't stop. He wasn't stacking. It was just coming hard and hard and hard and hard. So you gave up on this motherfucker. But that's the era I grew up with. It was about lyrics. It was about concepts. It's just putting together good music. You know what I mean? As you figure we had the Eric B's and rock him. We had Big Daddy Kane. Because he rapped. Then from them came the Nas. Back to Ace. You know it just kept coming. Lyrics, lyrics, lyrics. It wasn't no break. Like now it's more the beat, the hook. Then you hear what somebody has to say. Unless you know who it is. Like I mean them, you listen for the lyrics. Like oh shit you want to hit us. Take the lyrics. You're going to come on. Take the kids' lyrics. You know what I mean? Some artists you just want to hear the hook. The song. You see how they know because they ride the beat so hot. But it's cool because it's music. And I still respect that. As long as you keep the aura of the coach of hip-hop alive I ain't got no problems with that. I'll tell you one thing about doing it for a time that you lose a lot of people around you. Because not everybody has the same belief that you have or see the same vision. So just for you doing that you could lose your baby bombs. You could lose a girlfriend. You could lose a good friend. Just on the surface of you trying to be who you destined to be. And that's your dream. It's really hard in this industry to maintain any other relationship but music. Ever since I started this music I still haven't stopped. I still haven't stopped putting everything into it. For me putting everything into it I have lost a lot of people around me. That's why I don't, in other words for choosing the music rather than the music so much I don't have the opportunity to be around my seed. Like I want you, you know what I mean? Because of the different choices that I've made. You know what I mean? The music is a real challenge and thing for you to do. And for you to really want this music and you want it to come up try to make wise decisions so your responsibilities will be at a minimum. So you can give your all to this shit until you finally realize it whether you want it or not. You always want to think major first you got to dream big but there's a difference between a dreamer you know what I mean? There's a difference between a dreamer and a doer though. You got to do something about what you're dreaming about. You got to somehow make it possible for you to either fail or succeed. You just can't leave it up in the air. So that's just my whole theory to the whole shit. All bottom line if you don't follow through you're not going to know whether you're going to make it or not. So you got to stick to your goals. So you're a new artist back to the new artist and I was a new artist we didn't have so many ways that the internet we didn't have that. No emails were being sent to me no feats no cameras was on us that's why you don't see a lot of footage of my history you just know about us through our music. Right now my advice to any other artist especially a new artist will come from try to learn more avenues of hip hop don't just write rhymes and think that you're an artist write the rhyme draw the concept great learn how to work the pro tools learn how to be a mentioner learn how to work the camera shoot your own videos write your own treatments you got to try to expand because maybe that rap music might not be what you think it is and you can find another link there's so many lanes of hip hop that it's just a part of you loving the music and believing in yourself you got to believe in yourself if you don't then nobody around you won't believe in you that's just karma you know what I mean it's just life in general you don't even have to be music if you go to school you follow through you know what I mean you try to be the best you can do that's the same thing I did that's why I'm still here I'm still doing the music next album coming out the under door it's independent though why because I chose to put myself in that position I chose to be able to control my own my own decision whether it's a bad one or a good one I won't know until I follow through that's the whole point you gave me strength for me to believe told me the one root off my heart eventually I take the lead even rode by my feet you know what up man shit boy overtime often it's your boy triple safe so I don't know what it is the underdog yeah man we on the Dante Lunis show right now man making it happen PRC the best dot com Latin is platinum dot com make sure you check that shit out my new triple safe OTO now we do pretty easy
