Speaker 2:
[02:05] I don't know if that makes sense.

Speaker 3:
[02:07] But you can't spell it like that. He's a guy who's been making his own beats, making his own music, was down with a legendary group called Crooked Letters. They was from Mississippi, nobody even heard of Mississippi. They came out to New York and they got a deal. The legendary, Mississippi himself.

Hood is really running the building and we got to get to this question now. We heard he did, I ain't mad at you, and we didn't get that question out.

Speaker 6:
[03:21] I'm going to move around a little bit.

Speaker 3:
[03:23] You want to start immediately with a celebration? What you want to get into it is do some sorak.

Speaker 7:
[03:28] Take your panties down.

Speaker 3:
[03:29] We can do some sorak. Let's do some sorak. Take your panties down.

Speaker 4:

Speaker 4:
[03:40] They got four locations.

Speaker 3:
[03:45] Today, they held us down. We hit David Banner up, and he said he's a sorak guy. You poured already? Yeah, I'm going to pour me some. Yeah, I'm going to drop it. I'm going to pour me some. And, E, you got your cup full?

Speaker 4:
[03:58] No, I need to get it. And, Daz, you going to get a little sorak? It's a Cuban thing.

Speaker 3:
[04:10] I can get some of that. Because I want to dive in after this. I need some ice. A bus free ritually, just now, it's going down. All right, hold on, let me get my drink because I gotta go straight into it.

Speaker 6:
[04:26] Put it all in there, success.

Speaker 2:
[04:28] Yes, yes, yes, success.

Speaker 7:
[04:31] Oh, did you see that? Now we got the mic.

Speaker 3:
[04:36] And I can get some ice, E? You pass me some ice, is that an empty cup?

Speaker 4:
[04:39] Can you pass me an extra little cup?

Speaker 8:
[04:41] And this is the lemon, right here, right?

Speaker 3:
[04:43] All right, yeah, look, the listeners is what us.

Speaker 5:
[04:46] What's that pineapple?

Speaker 3:
[04:48] The listeners is what us, is they know the first question I'm about to ask.

Speaker 4:
[04:52] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[04:53] David Banner, my man.

Speaker 7:
[04:55] Where'd you get all these questions from?

Speaker 3:
[04:57] I don't know, I was just watching.

Speaker 4:
[05:00] Poor, righteous teacher.

Speaker 3:
[05:02] Recently, I've never thought that I would see a headline that read, David Banner gets arrested. What happened?

Speaker 6:
[05:13] Well, first of all, this is what I want to clear up.

Speaker 3:
[05:17] First of all, I'd like to thank you for wanting to clear this up with us. That's very appreciated.

Speaker 4:
[05:21] You came out of your way and we appreciate it.

Speaker 3:
[05:22] Yes, you came out of your way. Because this is a rapper's format. Rappers should feel like they got a chance to come up here and express. So I really appreciate you coming up here. But let's get to that.

Speaker 6:
[05:36] So this is what I want to say, first of all. I did not get arrested over trying to get in no fucking club. First of all, I could buy a club.

Speaker 3:
[05:45] Just make some noise for David Banner, for being able to buy a club.

Speaker 5:
[05:53] Did they ask for your autograph?

Speaker 7:
[05:56] I swear every time we go to jail, they have my autograph.

Speaker 6:
[06:00] So this is what's crazy. First of all, I have to say that what I try not to do anymore, I try not to talk to white media at all too much.

Speaker 3:
[06:13] Let's make some noise for us not being white. You got to have some fun with us, man.

Speaker 4:
[06:18] Come on, black cuban media.

Speaker 6:
[06:21] And what happened was this, I got to give TMZ a shot though, because they did try to call me and get my side of the story. But what I will say is that what happened was, first of all, I'm out with one of my best friends. He's a doctor. So it wasn't even like I was out with my hood home, where I was in DC. I was out with some doctors. And so, you know, I'm trying to get in. We're all in the club. It's about six or seven of us.

Speaker 4:
[06:47] What kind of club was this?

Speaker 6:
[06:48] It was a club like Ozio. Strip club? No, just a regular club. So I walk up, you know, security guard do their thing. Hold up, hold up. I fall all the way back into the street. Like, now I'm good, dog. You know, I'm not gonna do that. You know, I'm not gonna beg no to get in no club. That ain't what I do. So I fall back and start signing. If you go back and look at Instagram, you see all the pictures I was out there signing autographs, taking pictures. So then I noticed there was one white person at the door. And all these big black, like big black bodyguards. So I walked up to one of the bodyguards and all the bouncers and I was like, yo dog, whispered in his ear, like, look homeboy, it's a real bad look that you have all these black folks out here spending all this money and y'all got this white person at the door barking on them like an overseer. Dude turns around and looks at me and basically like, it's my job. Like Banner, you right. I don't want to get the white person came and barked on me.

Speaker 9:
[07:51] like what are you talking about?

Speaker 3:
[07:55] He ain't say, did he?

Speaker 6:
[07:58] I said enough. I think it would have been a different charge at that point. Right, right. And the thing was, I can't really go as much into what happened after that point. But the thing was, it was never about no club. It was about how people were treating my people. And I'm like, man, I've never been that kind of dude to just sit back and watch fuck shit go on.

Speaker 8:
[08:18] He's from Mississippi.

Speaker 6:
[08:19] Right, damn straight. So the thing was, this is what I will say, is once the show is on, it's on. I hadn't even felt that way in like literally like six years. I hadn't been that angry. And I wasn't angry even about what the white person said. The same guy that I was talking to turned around after they disrespected me. And then I said what I had to say to them. I was done. Then he turns around and boils up at me. No sir. One thing I want to tell people regardless of what I am, whether I'm an activist, whether we back on the street, whatever it may end up being, I'm a man before I'm anything. And if kids don't know nothing else but this, I tell them all the time, before I'm a rapper, before I'm a whatever the fuck it is, I have to be a man first. I have to defend what I believe is my honor. And that was it. The only thing that pissed me off that I really wanted to talk about was black media. It's like we cut and paste what these conglomerates give us and we don't even take up for our folks. I remember going to Ebony and Jet, and they said that back in the day, it used to be this just unknown rule that we look out for our own folk first. And they didn't do that. Like all the work that we do.

Speaker 3:
[09:39] Well, when you say black media, like you remember anybody?

Speaker 6:
[09:42] No, I don't go in the specifics, because when you go in the specifics, you make it petty. If they did it, they did it, they know who they are.

Speaker 3:
[09:49] We petty as hell. It's okay, you can be petty, okay?

Speaker 6:
[09:55] One thing I say though, is that they said on the Ricky Smiley Show, I really respect them. They said something that was really dope. It's like, we know Banner. This dude ain't wait all this time to go to jail now without something have to go. Like, they had to do something to do. Like, as much shit as he do, like, we got too much to lose on that bullshit. So, like, for our folks and for so-called hip hop blogs and places that say they for hip hop, when all they really do is take away, they sit back and wait for some petty shit to happen.

Speaker 3:
[10:24] It's click bait.

Speaker 4:
[10:24] They just want the, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[10:26] And that shit was some fuck shit.

Speaker 3:
[10:29] Let me ask you something. When people do report irresponsible journalism, like, why do you care, though? Like, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, this game is fucked up from the beginning. Like, this is not a new thing.

Speaker 6:
[10:43] Let me tell you the only reason why I care. One of my homegirls teaches male magnet school in Harlem, and she called me, and she said, the boys are really confused.

Speaker 3:
[10:55] Wow, it's about the children.

Speaker 6:
[10:56] Yeah, the children. It was like, you know, they see you, and they watch all of your interviews, and then they only hear what TMZ says, and they're real confused. And then I thought about it, I was like, I only care because I am one of the few people, man, that these kids at least consider. They may not even listen, but they be like, damn, we know where Banner come from, so if Banner talking that shit, maybe I can fuck with it for a second. And it's not enough of us yet to lose them. So with me not responding back, they only had what white media and the clickbaiters told them, so I had to go somewhere and say something and let them know it was about honor, not getting in no fucking club, because honestly, I could give a shit less with anybody thing. But what I always tell black folks is if I had you, or people of culture, if I had you, I wouldn't need them. If our folks put me in movies, I wouldn't have to go audition. If our folks bought records, we wouldn't have to go big and hope that them could give us some kind of light. I don't fucking need them. I only care what them kids think. And when she called me and said like the kids are confused, I was like, I gotta say something. Fuck all the rest of them.

Speaker 4:
[12:09] I'm grown.

Speaker 6:
[12:10] I can really give a shit less, you know?

Speaker 3:
[12:13] And you made a great career for yourself.

Speaker 4:
[12:14] What did they book you on exactly? What was the charges?

Speaker 3:
[12:17] No, you was out there already, right?

Speaker 4:
[12:19] Oh, you took all the charges.

Speaker 3:
[12:20] Okay.

Speaker 4:
[12:21] Oh, you can't really speak on that.

Speaker 5:
[12:26] Drink the fifth.

Speaker 3:
[12:32] Now, we gotta describe this shirt you have on right now, my brother. What is that?

Speaker 5:
[12:37] Something expensive.

Speaker 3:
[12:38] That looks like it's from Zimbabwe.

Speaker 4:
[12:40] It is. Zimbabwe. He's actually right. He got the right country at all?

Speaker 3:
[12:47] I wish I did. I know he's helping me out. Let's make some noise.

Speaker 6:
[12:55] I will tell y'all, so I want to tell y'all a story real quick. This is some real shit. A lot of people don't know. I've been knowing Noreaga for over 15 years. I've been knowing you right around 10 years. Back when I was in the group Crooked Letters, they really had shelved us, because they didn't know what the fuck to do with a group from Mississippi. Especially no that could rap at Penalty. So Noreaga, that's when he had the big million dollar video.

Speaker 3:
[13:20] Talk about it, David Banner. We ain't gonna stop him.

Speaker 6:
[13:21] He had a big million dollar video.

Speaker 4:
[13:22] Ike Williams and shit.

Speaker 6:
[13:24] And let me tell you what this man said. This man went to Neil Levine and told him, because they didn't have no budget for us to shoot no video. Really what I found out is I had moved to New York homeless. Noreaga knows that I was homeless in New York. They shelved us and I told Neil Levine, I'm going to be at Penalty every fucking day. I was there every morning before anybody got there, sitting there waiting for the label to open up. And it was this big black motherfucker waiting for this little short white guy every day. So they put my out, they actually put, they only shipped like, I think it was 20,000 copies, we sold 17,000. And Noreaga loved our music so much. He saw the south like, before it had literally got hot.

Speaker 3:
[14:05] Please, please, please go.

Speaker 6:
[14:06] And he went up and jumping on the seats and shit. And he was like, y'all, get them boys $20,000 out of my million dollar budget and let them shoot a movie.

Speaker 3:
[14:15] That damn it, make some noise for me.

Speaker 6:
[14:20] But let me tell y'all, let me tell y'all what else he said.

Speaker 4:
[14:24] I love that story.

Speaker 6:
[14:25] He said, David Banner, you gotta go in there and throw some shit. Don't hit the white dude, but go in there and throw some shit. Don't touch him, though. You touch him. And I really appreciate him, because he didn't have to do that shit, bro. He actually jumped on the record for free.

Speaker 3:
[14:40] I appreciate you remembering that. Not only that, but you was producing.

Speaker 6:
[14:47] You, yeah! This gave me my first check!

Speaker 3:
[14:50] Hold on! Wait, wait, wait!

Speaker 6:
[14:58] He said I wasn't going to say it, but I was going to hit on that. Listen, this is real talk. I was homeless. Literally, like, I was sleeping, at the time I was sleeping on Wendy Day's floor. I was literally homeless.

Speaker 4:
[15:11] Shout out to Wendy Day.

Speaker 6:
[15:12] And the first music, like, he gave me enough money off the first beat that I ever sold to somebody cash, so I could live the rest of my time in New York. And so, like, I really, really appreciate him.

Speaker 5:
[15:24] You knew how expensive it was.

Speaker 3:
[15:30] Listen, I like to be the guy to always discover a producer first. I don't know why. Like, it's been... Listen, man, you broke him up.

Speaker 2:
[15:40] You broke him up.

Speaker 3:
[15:43] I always like to be the guy, and I knew you was going to be the guy. Now, it brings me to ask you, Daz. This says, you did I Ain't Mad At You.

Speaker 5:
[15:54] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[15:55] How many Platinums did that sell? I forgot.

Speaker 5:
[16:00] How did you make that joint?

Speaker 3:
[16:02] Now, when you made that joint, was it for Pac or you just...

Speaker 5:
[16:05] I was just vibing in the room. You know what I'm saying? It's like whoever... I make beats in the morning. So whoever get... That's who we go to. You know what I'm saying? It's like serving, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, Shug had called me, said, what's up, man? Two Pacs flying in and I meet us at the restaurant. So, you know, me and Superfly, we go to the restaurant. He like, man, you ready? I'm like, yeah, I got some beats for you. So we drop him off, I go get a sack. I come back, he didn't lay the ambitions of a rider, and I ain't mad at you.

Speaker 3:
[16:39] The same day?

Speaker 5:
[16:39] Yeah, same night.

Speaker 3:
[16:41] God damn it.

Speaker 5:
[16:42] You know what I'm saying, like 1.30 in the morning, you know what I'm saying, and I drop the other two. The next morning, that's when Snoop walk in the door, we do, you know, gangsta party.

Speaker 8:
[16:53] That's just floor stone, all of us just.

Speaker 5:
[17:02] You know, when you do songs, it's 50-50.

Speaker 3:
[17:05] Right, right, right, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[17:06] So, you know, the publishing is good. Especially when that movie come out, you know. Wow.

Speaker 3:
[17:12] Now the movie you talk about is the Tupac movie.

Speaker 5:
[17:14] Yeah, the Tupac.

Speaker 4:
[17:15] Are you scoring that?

Speaker 5:
[17:16] All my music, I just talked to LT today. He's like, man, all your music is in there.

Speaker 3:
[17:20] I know. Who LT? Who LT?

Speaker 5:
[17:23] LT Hutton.

Speaker 3:
[17:23] Oh, okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 5:
[17:24] So, you know, my son is playing me in the movie. Oh, sure.

Speaker 3:
[17:27] Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 8:
[17:29] So, you know, this is a good thing.

Speaker 3:
[17:31] I did the Dope Hound movie after that.

Speaker 5:
[17:32] Oh, yeah, you know, DPG for Life, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[17:34] And now you worked with Pimp C. You knew Pimp C. Let's describe for our listeners, you know, he's a legend on our podcast. He's a legend in life.

Speaker 5:
[17:44] He's my homie, too, you dig? Pimp C.

Speaker 3:
[17:47] When was the first time you met Pimp C?

Speaker 6:
[17:50] Well, this is what happened. I sampled his voice while he was like a pill.

Speaker 3:
[17:56] Oh, I thought y'all knew each other at that time.

Speaker 6:
[17:58] No, no, no, no, no, I just sampled.

Speaker 3:
[18:00] I'm learning so good.

Speaker 6:
[18:00] And what's crazy about that, I didn't even like the beat. The only reason why I used the beat, cause I was bartering with Flip at the time. Flip was from Houston. Little Flip. And I was like, let me put him on this beat and then I go back and change the beat. Right. DJ Will from New Orleans heard it and said, dog, if you put this out, your life will change in two months. Literally, I flipped it over, used that song, my life literally changed in two months. Wow. So what happened was, bro, is I started writing Pimp C, because I was like, man, this dude has changed my life without even trying. His voice changed my whole entire life. So instead of sending him naked pictures of broads and all that kind of shit, I was like, yo, Pimp don't know how to use a drum machine. So I took pictures of the drum machine so he could put the Polaroids together. And I taught him how to use a drum machine while he was in jail.

Speaker 4:
[18:48] Because he's locked up. In case anybody doesn't know this, he's locked up at the time.

Speaker 6:
[18:51] He was locked up.

Speaker 3:
[18:52] Man, this just sounds like the smartest shit I've ever heard in my life.

Speaker 6:
[18:55] It sounds mad complicated.

Speaker 7:
[18:57] It's like you break out of jail.

Speaker 6:
[19:02] And then the other shit I did was I was traveling all around the world. I was like, I want to show him shit that maybe he had even seen. Like I'm touring. I've been to every continent. But we hadn't met. So when he got out of jail, if you remember when he got out of jail, he named eight people names. And I was one of the dudes, like we were right back and forth. He was like, Banner, you wanted a few people that took out of your time to really talk to me. Cause you remember I had done the record with him on penalty before, but you remember we did get crunk. That was on penalty, but that was just business. Like I didn't really get to know him, know him. Then we became friends. Like literally like, like this is, this is one of the craziest things in my life. When Pimp came to LA the weekend before he died, I was in, I was in studio working cause I was living in LA at the time. And Pimp was moving out there to stay in the same, the same.

Speaker 5:
[19:58] He was over there doing songs with Snoop.

Speaker 6:
[19:59] Right. It was supposed to be me, Snoop, Juicy J was going to work on his album. So he was going to move in the same building as the cut. You know, you know.

Speaker 3:
[20:15] This is how I continue.

Speaker 6:
[20:17] So Pemba, Pemba, call me. You know, when that's your homie and you in the studio, you know, I'm going to call him back. And, you know, I kept working. So I called him like six times. He never picked up the phone. Then I heard at the end of the weekend that he had died. So then I called and listened to the message. And the message was like, Banner, I'm at LAX.

Speaker 3:
[20:37] Wait, so you never met him?

Speaker 6:
[20:38] No, no, no, no, no. This is after we was friends.

Speaker 3:
[20:40] Oh, I'm bugging.

Speaker 2:
[20:40] I'm bugging.

Speaker 6:
[20:42] This is after we was friends, homeboys, like been to each other, like everything. By this time, this was the weekend before he died.

Speaker 2:
[20:48] Oh, okay.

Speaker 6:
[20:48] After we really became friends.

Speaker 2:
[20:51] Okay.

Speaker 6:
[20:52] He called me and I went and listened to my voicemail after he had died. And it literally said, bro, come pick me up from LAX. I'm here. And the craziest thing about me and Pimp is when we were together, it was, we were both focused. It was like sharpening each other. So I always feel like, you know, maybe, you know, everybody would always think maybe if it were, if I would have picked up their phone call, maybe it would have been something different. Who knows?

Speaker 3:
[21:19] And let's, let's just, let me, let's just ask. This is probably the most serious question. I have an ax on the Drink Champs podcast. Do you think that his death was attributed to lean?

Speaker 6:
[21:30] You know what I'm saying? I don't want to, I don't want to know because my friend did. All right. Right. Like people get into, you know, if this, I don't really want to know. Like that, like he dead, how he died, don't really matter to me.

Speaker 4:
[21:43] Irrelevant now.

Speaker 6:
[21:45] It don't really matter.

Speaker 3:
[21:46] I said that too, but like, you know, what's my man, Sean Price. And I be, I be feeling like-

Speaker 4:
[21:52] And today's the 20th of his first album.

Speaker 3:
[21:54] God bless Sean Price, you know what I mean? But I be wanting to know because just in case we can help some other people avoid it. You know what I mean?

Speaker 4:
[22:02] It's lifestyle sometimes.

Speaker 6:
[22:03] But the thing about it is, is that people-

Speaker 3:
[22:06] We got mad serious. I'm straight to the subject very soon.

Speaker 6:
[22:09] No, no, it's cool. The reason why is- People need to know that because the folks that's out here doing what we're doing.

Speaker 3:
[22:16] Because ASAP Yams and everybody is saying the same thing when they come to ASAP Yams. They're saying that it's the coding, what's my man, Michael from out in Houston. And they're saying-

Speaker 4:
[22:26] Scroo, DJ Scroo. Well, Scroo, I don't think he tied up for that.

Speaker 3:
[22:32] Because I think if you as an activist, a rapitivist, I would like to call you, if you allow me to call you that. You speak up for us. When something happens in the community, whether it's rap, hip hop, or just being black, or just being poor, we expect people like you to speak up.

Speaker 6:
[22:47] But we need to make sure when we get in fucking trouble that folks turn around and speak up.

Speaker 7:
[22:58] When that shit happened, I thought was gonna go shut the down.

Speaker 6:
[23:02] It's just like, what the?

Speaker 3:
[23:04] You thought the black man was coming out. It's not happening.

Speaker 2:
[23:06] Anybody, shit.

Speaker 3:
[23:08] Right now, they all march on Twitter. They don't march in real life.

Speaker 6:
[23:11] But this is what I say though.

Speaker 4:
[23:13] His Instagram likes.

Speaker 3:
[23:14] I be marching on Twitter too.

Speaker 6:
[23:16] And I'm being honest, bro. At the end of the day, bro, we don't really know what happened. I heard several stories about what could have happened. And just like they say, shit, what Mike died for, what Prince died for, both of those people had two of the most amazing record deals ever. Fucking Mike owned over 50% of Sony.

Speaker 4:
[23:40] Prince owned all his shit.

Speaker 6:
[23:41] So Pimpsie was one of the most outspoken motherfuckers I ever had.

Speaker 3:
[23:47] Well, bring me to the point. You remember what he said? He said, Alana ain't even the South. You know, such as the South. You remember that conversation you made at the radio show?

Speaker 6:
[23:56] Yeah, I remember the conversation.

Speaker 3:
[23:58] Was that not the craziest?

Speaker 6:
[23:59] Well, I think that whole conversation, not even about that aspect of it, but a lot of the things that he was bringing up about rap that people don't talk about. And that's what I'm saying. Like, we want to focus on, like, the media, the same thing that happened to me. The media throw whatever the fuck they want to out about people of culture. And because they don't think we nothing but drug addicts and gang bangers and dope dealers any fucking way. So people just take that shit. When that don't be the case, shit, fucking, we don't know why Prince died. The motherfucker was a vegan and looked better at 58 or higher than he did at 28. And now, all of a sudden, this motherfucker die. And Eric Clapton can snort half of Peru.

Speaker 4:
[24:38] And the.

Speaker 6:
[25:02] I don't know. They call it conspiracy theory if you can prove it. Like they call it conspiracy theory.

Speaker 4:
[25:13] That's the way to just disregard it.

Speaker 6:
[25:15] But like, I don't believe that shit. But I tell the this, if something ever happen to me, I want the to do something. I don't want nobody talking shit. I don't like the way they change. Like even with Ali, they fucking change his whole, they say Ali was colorless. The, his last name is Muhammed. How you gonna say he colorless? Like at the end of his life, and all he ever fought for was the right of indigenous people. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 5:
[25:44] That's the same thing I just looked at the OJ thing, right? Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[25:47] Yeah, yeah, come on, let's get to the OJ. This is hot.

Speaker 5:
[25:50] That's what they categorize him as the same thing you just said, he's colorful. That means, you know, did it, it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, that's how they do it.

Speaker 3:
[26:01] That's OJ?

Speaker 7:
[26:02] Yeah, I kicked it with him after that. That's the Snoop was talking about the other day, you know, we was kicking, I was at his house and everything, you know. Listen, listen.

Speaker 6:
[26:14] No, I know, man.

Speaker 3:
[26:15] Listen, hold on, listen, this is where we got to big up the Drink Champs army.

Speaker 4:
[26:19] Nah, you got me out on that picture, first of all.

Speaker 3:
[26:22] You got to stop blaming me for this. People blame you out of that picture. This is what we doing. Right now, we got to thank our Drink Champs listeners because I couldn't find my picture with OJ, correct?

Speaker 4:
[26:34] No, that's correct.

Speaker 3:
[26:35] We told the Drink Champs to go find the picture. They found the picture. And that same week, we also hit 1 million viewers. In one week.

Speaker 6:
[26:51] I thought you were about to say OJ hit you up.

Speaker 3:
[26:53] No, no, no, no.

Speaker 8:
[26:54] OJ, my.

Speaker 3:
[26:56] He's coming on the show.

Speaker 2:
[26:57] He's walking in here.

Speaker 4:
[26:57] We did hang out and take a picture, and then they cropped me the fuck out that picture.

Speaker 3:
[27:01] Listen, he is so hurt.

Speaker 6:
[27:02] Look at him.

Speaker 2:
[27:03] Do you hear him?

Speaker 4:
[27:07] I've been trying to find that picture since we took it.

Speaker 3:
[27:09] He knows it's not me who cropped him out. Yeah, it was back in the days.

Speaker 6:
[27:14] Hey, Daz, what was the song I did on y'all album, my girlfriend, the? Because the reason why I asked you about that fucking Battle Cat came and played the cymbals on that.

Speaker 5:
[27:26] Oh, shit. We had fun over there.

Speaker 6:
[27:28] We had so much fun. Bro, Snoop.

Speaker 5:
[27:32] We've known each other for years.

Speaker 3:
[27:35] So, this is just like a family reunion?

Speaker 5:
[27:37] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[27:38] You popped that bottle? Come on, battle. Come on, you got to pull up. Listen, man.

Speaker 6:
[27:42] I'll tell you something Snoop did that was cool as.

Speaker 3:
[27:44] All right, cool.

Speaker 6:
[27:45] And y'all are laughing at me. So, all right.

Speaker 3:
[27:47] Hey, you need a new cup? That's a new cup.

Speaker 6:
[27:49] No, I'm good.

Speaker 3:
[27:49] Just for champagne.

Speaker 5:
[27:50] No, I think I'm gonna get me a new cup.

Speaker 3:
[27:51] Yeah, this is for champagne. This is just for champagne.

Speaker 6:
[27:53] I thought this was my bottle.

Speaker 3:
[27:55] Yeah, yeah. No, no. This is our bottle, baby. This is our bottle.

Speaker 5:
[27:58] I felt that, you know.

Speaker 3:
[27:59] This is our bottle, baby. We are celebrating together.

Speaker 6:
[28:02] I felt a little bit too at home right there.

Speaker 3:
[28:03] Yeah, no, no, no, no. You were at home. You were at home, but we are celebrating together.

Speaker 6:
[28:08] So, I had a Bentley and I was out in LA.

Speaker 3:
[28:13] It's okay. It's okay for him to have a Bentley. God damn it, make some noise.

Speaker 6:
[28:18] So, Snoop used to say, hey nephew, that's a pretty car. So, my Bentley broke down. And Snoop, they all were about to go on tour. So, Snoop said, what happened to that pretty car? And I was like, you know, shit broke down. Yeah, yeah. So, I was like, it broke down. He threw me his keys. Said, nephew, we're gonna be gone for too much. Just take my car. So, Snoop gave me his car. So, I was like, at the time, I had stopped smoking weed. And I was like, fuck this. Ain't no way I'm gonna be-

Speaker 3:
[28:46] So, you smoking weed?

Speaker 6:
[28:47] No, no, no.

Speaker 3:
[28:48] Not right now. Not right now. Oh yeah, that's right. So, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[28:57] So, Snoop was like, here, take your car. So, I was like, there's no fucking way that I'm gonna be in LA and smoke a car and not smoke no weed. All right, but I had to smoke no weed and out there. Kelly, it's a different strand of shit. They smoking out there.

And I'm sitting on the side of the road in fucking Snoop car, tweaking the fuck out, man. Drove all the way home, 15 miles an hour, high as.

Speaker 3:
[29:36] Listen, man, listen, I am so proud to announce, man, I want to big up everybody who participated in this show because you understand, we, we, this been our goal is to just, you know, have our own people control our people. And we ain't even talking race when we saying that. Rap, hip hop should control hip hop. And this is a, this is a, this is a good step in that direction. You know, we don't play music on here. We don't do none of that, but you know what? It's us controlling us.

Speaker 2:
[30:06] It's family.

Speaker 4:

Speaker 5:
[31:42] I live everywhere, man.

Speaker 3:
[31:43] You live everywhere? I ain't going to lie. I ain't going to, was you the first in Atlanta? Because both of y'all live in, you live in Atlanta, too, though.

Speaker 5:
[31:50] I was the second west coaster in Atlanta, too short.

Speaker 3:
[31:54] Yeah, too short did say that.

Speaker 5:
[31:56] I was down there with too short, so I was looking at the big house, like how much is it? $400?

Speaker 3:
[32:00] Why? Why?

Speaker 5:
[32:03] It's 2 a.m. We go into the club. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Hey, and I just bought me a house down there, been down there. I live out here in Miami.

Speaker 3:
[32:11] Because you live out here?

Speaker 6:
[32:13] You got a house in Mississippi.

Speaker 5:
[32:15] I'm off the lakes, man.

Speaker 3:
[32:16] This is a serious question I want to ask.

Speaker 4:
[32:18] Oh, shit.

Speaker 3:
[32:20] So, and then now you don't live in Mississippi, do you?

Speaker 6:
[32:23] Yeah. I got a house, yeah. Let me tell you, anywhere that we have an opportunity to do business, I have houses in Mississippi. I run my business out of Atlanta.

Speaker 3:
[32:32] Right.

Speaker 6:
[32:32] You know, I'm buying wherever the check is, homie.

Speaker 3:
[32:35] Right. Because we've been receiving a lot of stories that are saying that, like most hip hop artists, they die or they mess up when they're in their own city. Do you feel like that?

Speaker 4:
[32:48] Boosie was saying that, right?

Speaker 3:
[32:49] Yeah, Boosie broke it down so great.

Speaker 4:
[32:51] No, he did. That shit was crazy.

Speaker 3:
[32:52] He was like, hypnotized with hater. He said some shit. I was like, damn, this smart. What he's trying to say is, people in your city might hate you more than just people write down a block. Do you think that's a true theory in the next city, you know what I mean? Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[33:10] If there was anywhere to go in. No, you go ahead.

Speaker 5:
[33:15] Oh, shit. I stand in here 21st and Locust, Long Beach, Eastside, Cookin, you know what I'm saying? Right there on the block, everybody see me there, they know where I'm at, you know what I'm saying? But it's all love where I'm at, you know what I'm saying? Because we're city quips, you know what I'm saying? Ain't no other gang and all the other things, you know what I'm saying? But I'm everywhere, you know what I'm saying? I'm out here over town, you know what I'm saying? My brother's still across the bridge, we over here, we everywhere. I got 20 acres of Mississippi, my mama live there. My daddy from New Orleans, but he live out here, you know what I'm saying? We've been out here for 20 something years.

Speaker 3:
[33:48] Wow, Miami?

Speaker 4:
[33:49] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[33:49] Get some folks out of here. Let's make some noise for the ass cracking of Miami.

Speaker 4:
[33:56] You could have been in Kendall with us.

Speaker 5:
[33:58] Nah, man, I've been here since Pac Jam.

Speaker 4:
[33:59] Oh, yeah. Pac Jam is real Miami shit.

Speaker 5:
[34:04] Disco Rick, you know everybody. You know what I'm saying? So hip hop is right there.

Speaker 3:
[34:10] But you don't feel like sometimes there's more hate in your city than there is?

Speaker 5:
[34:15] Yeah, there's more hate if you make it like that.

Speaker 3:
[34:17] That's deep.

Speaker 5:
[34:18] You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3:
[34:19] That's deep.

Speaker 5:
[34:20] If you make it like that.

Speaker 6:
[34:21] This is what I tell people.

Speaker 3:
[34:23] But how do you feel about that though, Banner? Do you feel like there's more hate in your city?

Speaker 6:
[34:28] I study the plight of black people.

Speaker 3:
[34:30] Roll up.

Speaker 6:
[34:31] And what people don't understand is a lot of our problems stem from slavery. Do you know that when one slave would escape the plantation, they would beat every slave on the plantation nearly to death?

Speaker 5:
[34:45] Put the fear in.

Speaker 6:
[34:46] Right. So that's where the hate comes from. When somebody sees you getting off the plantation, like, that ain't no better than me. How dare he fucking dream when my fucking dreams have been crushed? You feel me? So it's like, what we don't understand, we've been programmed to be the way that we are, and we malfunctioning and don't even know the fucking reason why. So, like for me, I know the reason why people feel the way that they feel. But the thing that I do is I constantly, I literally, and Pimp C helped me do this, I wrote down everything people said that I wouldn't do. And I went back and did it. So, if a motherfucker hate me, it's because they hate themselves. And if they hate themselves, I can't help you. You know what I'm saying? You got to. came up to me one time at home and was like, David Banner, I really don't like you. And I hugged him.

Speaker 3:
[35:37] Wait, wait, who, who, who? What, what?

Speaker 6:
[35:39] He said, I really don't like you. And I hugged him. It was just after I, you know, became a better meditative banner.

Speaker 5:
[35:45] Right.

Speaker 8:
[35:46] Not the banner that you made.

Speaker 5:
[35:47] Right, right, right.

Speaker 6:
[35:48] And I told him, brother, you got to stand in a long line.

Speaker 5:
[35:52] Right.

Speaker 6:
[35:52] Because at the end of the day, man, people just don't, a lot of times, too, when you come from smaller places, people don't know how to say, I need help.

Speaker 5:
[36:01] Right.

Speaker 6:
[36:01] So instead of saying, hey, y'all.

Speaker 5:
[36:03] They act the fool.

Speaker 6:
[36:03] Yeah. Hey, y'all, can I get a beat up?

Speaker 5:
[36:06] It's just like one of the homies like a bitch, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. But he just dissing the bitch. Yeah, bitch, bitch, you know you want to fuck the bitch.

Speaker 3:
[36:14] That's a gang member.

Speaker 4:
[36:15] That's a crazy analogy.

Speaker 3:
[36:17] That thing is a gang member.

Speaker 5:
[36:18] You want to the bitch, man?

Speaker 3:
[36:20] No, he was like, every day to a gang.

Speaker 4:
[36:22] You got to respect that. And everything was a gang sign.

Speaker 7:
[36:25] You're talking it up for the rest of us.

Speaker 6:
[36:27] So for me, bro, you have to know why people are hurting. And that's one of the things I've been doing. I've been doing these lecture series. And Nore, honestly, this is the crowning I've done. Bro, I've got awards from all over the world. This has been my crowning moment, bro. I do lectures and like hoods all over the world. Me and Dr. Umar did Brooklyn. Thousand people did Shreveport, Louisiana. 1200 people. Birmingham.

Speaker 3:
[36:56] So what do you think? Because one day I called you, you remember this? I called you and I said, yo, we really need a hip hop union.

Speaker 6:
[37:02] Yeah, I remember that. We stayed on the phone for an hour and 45 minutes.

Speaker 3:
[37:06] Yo, and do you think our heart was in the right place at that time? I believe it was.

Speaker 6:
[37:13] Let me tell you what you believe.

Speaker 3:
[37:13] And I believe I wasn't wrong.

Speaker 6:
[37:15] No, you were right. But the thing that we have to do is we have to become successful because the thing about these kids, I tell people this all the time, like kids don't necessarily want to sell drugs, but what they do is they see the success out of selling drugs. I see the bitches. I see the women. I see the success. I see what you can get out of it. You're telling me to go to college. My uncle went to college. He's right back on the block. Kids want to see some success. If you want a union, if I want kids to do better, I got to show them some fly shit. They don't want to hear fucking theory. These kids are sick of motherfuckers lying to them. That shit is dead, all of this wishing and hoping, and people get mad at me. All of this wishing and hoping and praying. We got to get up off our knees and do some shit. If you be successful and kids see you looking good and face looking fresh and shit, kids just want success. I tell people that if they see success, then they want to be like you. I don't give a fuck. Let me tell you something.

Speaker 7:
[38:37] You like pussies?

Speaker 4:
[38:39] You like pussies, you like pussies.

Speaker 5:
[38:43] Hey, we gotta do the Gazy Day, we're killing the doctors now.

Speaker 9:
[38:47] Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

Speaker 2:
[38:48] You ain't giving me no pussy.

Speaker 3:
[38:51] So, let me ask y'all this question. Now, with that being said, Spike Lee did the movie.

Speaker 6:
[38:57] You're doing a fucking excellent job.

Speaker 3:
[39:00] Oh, man, I'm on point, I'm sorry. So, listen, Spike Lee, he just tried to do that point. The point that you said was, Spike Lee tried to actually make a play, but he used real culture. The Shy Rack, right? But, I actually see the good in what he was trying to do, even though it might have made a mockery, but you understand what you just said. It corresponds with what you just said so much, because you said, if woman, but hold on, let me finish, you said if woman was to say, nah, we ain't fucking unless you a doctor, right? That's what Spike tried to do.

Speaker 4:
[39:41] That's what they did in the film, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[39:42] Spike tried to say, yo, they ain't fucking until you put your guns down, but the city of Chicago definitely.

Speaker 6:
[39:49] Yeah, it's a...

Speaker 3:
[39:51] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[39:52] Yeah, it's... go ahead, bro.

Speaker 5:
[39:53] Go ahead, I like how you speak.

Speaker 6:
[39:55] Nah, it's like, you gotta do that in your city. Like, Scarface told me that, man, like, when...

Speaker 3:
[40:03] But Chicago is the worst city right now.

Speaker 6:
[40:06] But, no, but like, when you...

Speaker 5:
[40:08] Killing everywhere.

Speaker 6:
[40:09] But, no, but when you coming in people's cities, bro, and you don't connect, like, Chicago taught me that. I went to Chicago to... I was gonna do, like, some amazing shit, and I sat down and talked to the real people that are running the streets. And, like, you gotta come in, bro, you gotta do it right. If you really want to help the community, you gotta connect with the people in the community. Like, bro, that's like me going to LA and trying to tell people what to do. Like, bro, now you gotta connect with the folks and let them do what they want to do, and you be a part of it, because if you don't, you saw what happened. So, like, you don't want to take something that you believe is positive, and look what it ended up turning into.

Speaker 9:
[40:51] Like, you gotta connect with people.

Speaker 3:
[40:52] Nobody supported it. I didn't watch it because people in Chicago told me not to watch it, and I said, I got family out there. You know, like, I got real, real family in Chicago, so when they told me they was offended, I just didn't participate.

Speaker 6:
[41:05] You can't take somebody's pain.

Speaker 3:
[41:06] But I kind of thought what Spike was trying to do, like, he was trying to send a message, the same shit that you just said. Like, I think the message was good, I think the way he pulled it off.

Speaker 6:
[41:17] Take the message and make the message dope and poppin, just like I told you. But don't put it under the guise of somebody else's pain. Use your pain.

Speaker 8:
[41:26] This pain is due to the right thing.

Speaker 4:
[41:29] Yeah, that was all.

Speaker 6:
[41:30] Which was a general statement.

Speaker 4:
[41:32] That was all. What do y'all think about all this shit with the gun laws going on right now, with the shit they have? Obviously, we know we've been having problems with guns forever, but obviously when the shit, like in Orlando happens, now it's front and center. But what do y'all think about that? Like what comprehensive gun laws you think should go?

Speaker 3:
[41:56] Tell them dads, they be killing in Long Beach all day.

Speaker 5:
[41:59] That's a sick thing, man.

Speaker 4:
[42:00] I mean, what do you really think, like what do you think they should be trying to do? Pass, not having, you know, rifles with certain amount of rounds, like what do you think?

Speaker 3:
[42:09] That's real.

Speaker 5:
[42:10] I mean, man, a kid can get a gun, man. I got a little homies around, you know what I'm saying? But it's just about us. That's the OGs and all that, you know, getting it into them, you know what I'm saying? And just getting into them, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3:
[42:23] Right. Yeah, because that shit is kind of crazy. Like, I still going through the same cycle of trying to be the bigger man and, you know, like.

Speaker 5:
[42:32] See, like that get killed, though, too, at the same time. Yeah. You know, it's vice versa, so you always got to know how to play everything. You know what I'm saying? I foresee it all.

Speaker 6:
[42:42] Guns don't kill people.

Speaker 3:
[42:43] But do you?

Speaker 6:
[42:44] Okay, okay. Guns don't kill people. Stupid motherfuckers kill people.

Speaker 3:
[42:48] Right.

Speaker 6:
[42:49] I'm going to tell you all something, and put the camera straight on me. If you want to put David Banner in jail, make some gun laws and come to my house. I got an AR-15. I got two AR-15s.

Speaker 3:
[42:59] Right, go ahead.

Speaker 6:
[43:00] Because what I believe is-

Speaker 3:
[43:01] Make some noise for them, y'all, let's continue.

Speaker 4:
[43:12] All day, all day.

Speaker 6:
[43:22] These go overseas, and we are the most technologically advanced country in the fucking world, or one of them, and we can't find 30 fucking people, but we bomb fucking nations. You know what I'm saying? It's like-

Speaker 4:
[43:35] Yeah, we gang bang on an international level.

Speaker 6:
[43:38] The problem that I'm trying to get people to see, and this just made me, is because of our phones, we got a chip on us all fucking day, right? Because of our credit cards, they're putting a chip on all your credit cards.

Speaker 4:
[43:51] The Mark of the Bees happened.

Speaker 5:
[43:52] All right, all right.

Speaker 3:
[43:53] Yeah, the Mark of the Bees is your phone.

Speaker 5:
[43:55] You ever watch that movie?

Speaker 6:
[43:56] Yeah. Which one?

Speaker 5:
[43:57] Mark of the Bees. My mother used to make it, you know, we used to go to church and they made us watch this movie called Mark of the Bees.

Speaker 3:
[44:03] This is a movie called Mark of the Bees?

Speaker 2:
[44:04] I've never seen Mark of the Bees.

Speaker 5:
[44:05] It's like, when everybody go to heaven, then there's soldiers and people telling them what to do and they're marking them and they're putting it in their forehead and they put them in that shit, scared the shit out of them.

Speaker 4:
[44:18] So watch this.

Speaker 6:
[44:19] And this is my theory.

Speaker 8:
[44:21] This shit got scary on you.

Speaker 4:
[44:23] The Four Horsemen.

Speaker 6:
[44:26] So all of our quintessential rights are now being taken away and people are not even noticing. So what they did was killing black people don't shock America. So that's cool. So they killed some, you know, they killed some teenagers, some white teenagers. That didn't take away your gun laws. So it's like every time America wants to pay, somebody always told me this, if you want to find the arsonist, never look at the fire. It's always something else that's going on in America. Like they've been trying to pass gun laws. Cause the thing that I learned and one of my mentors said, there's no difference between the police and our gangs. The only difference between our gangs and the policemen is that when they call for backup, their mother fucks coming. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[45:12] That's what I told the homie. I say, everybody in here, when that second car pull up, what happens? When that second police car pull up, what happens? You poop.

Speaker 9:
[45:26] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[45:28] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[45:29] Shit. Yeah, nah.

Speaker 6:
[45:31] And that's the only, and that's what they're afraid of. To be honest with you, bro, they'll take one thing out of a thousand things and make it a big deal because we try to find a leader whenever there's anarchy. We need somebody to lead us when there's a big, and in no way am I saying that what happened wasn't a tragedy, but that was one person. So why take away the rights that we have? Because I want you to always remember something. Just think about this. Police and criminals don't give a fuck about laws. If a criminal want a gun, Dad just said it. He gonna find a gun.

Speaker 5:
[46:13] Dick Cheney shot somebody.

Speaker 4:
[46:16] Dick Cheney shot his homie in the head.

Speaker 6:
[46:19] So what I'm saying is...

Speaker 3:
[46:20] Are we gonna make some noise for Dick Cheney?

Speaker 4:
[46:21] Yeah, make some noise for Dick Cheney. Bucking his homie.

Speaker 3:
[46:28] Literally, he bucked his homie.

Speaker 4:
[46:30] He bucked his homie.

Speaker 6:
[46:32] Bro, did we come up here and make Drink Champs a political show?

Speaker 8:
[46:38] Listen, listen, listen.

Speaker 3:
[46:40] We got the dumbest fans in the universe. Let's make some noise for them, God damn it.

Speaker 4:
[46:47] They're going back to school right now.

Speaker 3:
[46:49] Listen, we gotta get schooled. We gotta get schooled. David Banner is schooling us. Daz.

Speaker 4:
[46:54] And he's filming you now. Daz.

Speaker 5:
[46:59] Yes.

Speaker 3:
[47:00] Is in the motherfucking building.

Speaker 5:
[47:01] Noreaga.

Speaker 3:
[47:04] Y'all got so many hits.

Speaker 4:
[47:05] Daz is set tricking right now in Miami.

Speaker 3:
[47:07] You got so many hits. What other crazy shit you produce, my? Let's just hit us with it.

Speaker 5:
[47:13] Now, you know, me and Sharon Price did a song when he was with Helter Skelter.

Speaker 3:
[47:17] Oh, shit.

Speaker 5:
[47:18] You know what I'm saying? On that first album, it was me and Kourouk. You know what I'm saying? So that's a...

Speaker 3:
[47:26] And you said you produce for Daz.

Speaker 6:
[47:28] Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[47:30] On what?

Speaker 5:
[47:31] My cousin right here.

Speaker 6:
[47:32] Like, we're families.

Speaker 5:
[47:35] We tear it up for Daz, but we do. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 6:
[47:38] The thing is, real friends, we ain't got to talk about that shit. They took care of me when I needed it, like, seriously.

Speaker 5:
[47:44] Yeah, faking assholes.

Speaker 3:
[47:45] How did you get into the movie?

Speaker 5:
[47:46] Faking assholes.

Speaker 3:
[47:48] That was the name of it? Now, how did you get into the movie thing?

Speaker 5:
[47:53] That's with the money.

Speaker 6:
[47:55] Uh, all right, so, one of the things I want to tell the kids is like, people look up at the screen, like, they'll see Pop and be like, Pop just went from rap, like, Pop was an actor first. You know what I'm saying? I've been in acting school for 10 years. I study, I train at everything I do, whether it's fighting, whether it's whatever the fuck, like, kids have this misconception that you just fall out the motherfucking bed. If you're talented, that's only a head start. Most of the time, just Steph Curry is a perfect example of that. That's a motherfucker that work, bust his fucking ass. You know what I'm saying? To become great. And the thing that I realize is like, and I think about the West Coast more than anything. Like, the thing I think in my personal assumption that really took the West Coast to the next level, is like during the time that Dre and them was making their move, they had colors, they had boys in the hood, because a lot of times, you can hear a record, but if you don't know what that shit looked like, can't be going through that shit, that they say, oh shit, they are.

Speaker 9:
[49:03] Oh, that's a six-fold.

Speaker 6:
[49:05] Oh, that's what that shit is.

Speaker 5:
[49:07] That's what the switch is.

Speaker 6:
[49:08] Right, that's what that shit do.

Speaker 9:
[49:10] Oh, that's what that shit is.

Speaker 4:
[49:12] Is that what happened with Master P? Master P, when he did the movie, that kind of helped his movement.

Speaker 6:
[49:16] What I say is like, I still don't think the South has had just that proper movement, because we need people who are actually producers and directors that come from where we come from, instead of people from other places coming and giving what they think is from the South. Because a lot of times, when I see do shit about the South, I be mad about that shit. I be like, dog, that's what you think it is.

Speaker 3:
[49:42] So you gonna do a Mississippi movie?

Speaker 6:
[49:44] I'm gonna do a, yeah, I'm gonna do some Mississippi movies. I'm gonna do a lot of fucking movies. I'm gonna tell y'all something. Hey, think about this shit. This is the reason why I started doing movies.

Speaker 3:
[49:52] Let me be the New York that just come in and shoot somebody. That's all I want to be in a Mississippi movie. Come on, make some noise if you want to shoot somebody. Hey! I never said this on camera, bro.

Speaker 6:
[50:06] But this is some shit I want to address. And Belly, when they had to do eating a banana from the South, I had a problem.

Speaker 3:
[50:14] Nah, he wasn't from the South, he was from Ohio.

Speaker 6:
[50:18] Wasn't he?

Speaker 8:
[50:21] Google it, ass.

Speaker 3:
[50:23] Google it, ass. We're going to get into some coastal shit.

Speaker 6:
[50:32] Either way, the small town eating the banana shit on the corner.

Speaker 4:
[50:36] It was, it was, it was, what are you saying, what are you saying, man?

Speaker 3:
[50:38] We would have had a problem if it was in Ohio.

Speaker 6:
[50:45] Listen to this, y'all. Check this. This is the reason why I started doing, one of the reasons why I started doing movies. There was this little black girl.

Speaker 3:
[50:52] Hold on a second. I like the fact that he's the only guest we ever had that looked at the crowd.

Speaker 6:
[50:57] I'm looking at their faces.

Speaker 3:
[50:58] This, this, he do on this show.

Speaker 6:
[51:12] This looking at me like, what you gonna say?

Speaker 3:
[51:14] This is when you know a royal emcee. Dad seen you, he said, what? You gotta do that, too. This is who know how to control a crowd. This is a difference between talking and being a microphone controller. Right now, this is real legendary shit happening. I'm sorry if the listener didn't know what's going on.

Speaker 6:
[51:39] Continue, my brother. So this is what happened, there was a little black girl, she came in crying uncontrollably. She asked her father, she asked her father, she said, father, she said, dad, dad, dad, are there gonna be any black folks in the future? And he looked down and said, baby, why you ask that? She said, cause I was watching the Jetsons and I didn't see none. Like literally, think about this, as it pertains to black people.

Speaker 3:
[52:04] My good name was Leroy Jetson and he wasn't black. the Jetsons!

Speaker 6:
[52:08] Watch this.

Speaker 3:
[52:09] I just remembered that. Who was it?

Speaker 6:
[52:31] So, so, so, so watch this. For black people, most black people, because of conventional religion, I think Jesus is white. So think about all the God complexes in the world. Jesus is white, Superman is white, Flash is white, Wonder Woman is white.

Speaker 3:
[52:50] Tarzan.

Speaker 6:
[52:51] Tarzan is white, all the black folks in the fucking jungle. So think about, listen, when a kid, I'm a stepchild, and the fact that I don't look like my dad, that fucks with me. My stepdad changed my whole entire fucking life. He been with me since I was three. So when, I always tell people, if you told your kids that they was gods, maybe they would act like gods. And maybe if they act like gods, somebody would treat them like gods. It's easy to kill a nigga. And I always tell people, if I see a god in you, I might beat the devil out of your motherfucking ass, but I won't kill you. So when most black people see white people, in the back of their subconscious, they see Jesus. I don't even know.

Speaker 3:
[53:43] I don't know whether to make some noise.

Speaker 4:
[53:46] I was the father.

Speaker 3:
[53:49] Banner is dropping juice.

Speaker 9:
[53:50] I'm serious.

Speaker 6:
[53:53] Think about how quick a killed another black person. They see some white folks, they be like, damn, that's 50 years.

Speaker 9:
[54:01] That's Jesus.

Speaker 3:
[54:02] That's very deep.

Speaker 7:
[54:04] Drink Champs and this.

Speaker 3:
[54:16] I was like, no, because you know, I'm conscious. So I know exactly what you mean. I'm conscious, though. You know what I mean? That's some real shit, man. That's some real shit. So, Daz, man.

Speaker 7:
[54:30] I don't even have time to get away from David Banner.

Speaker 2:
[54:32] I'm trying to keep it together.

Speaker 3:
[54:36] I'm trying to keep it together, man. So, Daz, what do you see hip hop going now, from here?

Speaker 5:
[54:44] Hip hop is on a good path right now, going to the top, man. You know what I'm saying? It's all like commercials, old people rapping and shit, and that, that. So, you know, hey, it's going there, the money is there.

Speaker 3:
[54:54] And Snoop out there killing them still. Like in the night, like Snoop don't age.

Speaker 5:
[54:59] All the time.

Speaker 3:
[55:00] And that's your real cousin, correct?

Speaker 4:
[55:02] That's the hip hop prince.

Speaker 3:
[55:03] Shout out to Superfly, man.

Speaker 5:
[55:05] Superfly, preach books.

Speaker 6:
[55:06] Superfly was the one that hooked me up with Snoop. He heard my beats before anybody else. He did the most admirable shit ever. He said at the end of the day, Snoop make the money, we got to take the beats to him. Like he heard my beats, he was like, yo shit jammin. He was like, man, fuck me personally. Like, it's cool, you can have some beats on my shit that's coming out. You need to go see, and Snoop did the craziest shit, y'all. That's when we had the ASR, and the diss used to get corrupted.

Speaker 5:
[55:31] What you had that day?

Speaker 6:
[55:34] Y'all, Snoop stood up in front of me, my diss was corrupt, so the beat he wanted wouldn't pull up. He said, you got 10 minutes, pull that up. And y'all, I was homeless, sleeping in my van. And I literally saw my career passing across, he said, 10, you know what I'm saying? Eight, dog, I was about to piss on myself, dog. I was like, what the fuck? I'm broke as fuck, and this motherfucker won't load. Three, two, one, get the fuck out of here. And I was like, shit. He was like, I'm just joking, dog.

Speaker 7:
[56:05] He was like, go home, get that shit, the cattle ain't coming back.

Speaker 6:
[56:07] And like, all of us been cool ever since then. I snuck this steak on to you, man, to play them beats for y'all. And like, they whole family took me in. Like, when I was in LA, I didn't know nobody, bro. Like, they really, I appreciate y'all.

Speaker 3:
[56:19] Now, what made you, well, well, you lived in Atlanta first, and then lived in LA?

Speaker 6:
[56:24] Now, what happened was, man, I've been there.

Speaker 5:
[56:26] Mississippi, right by Atlanta.

Speaker 6:
[56:27] I went from Mississippi to Louisiana, to Atlanta, to New York. I was homeless, sleeping next to dogs and shit. Piss on the floor and shit, and I moved out, I moved, I was dating at the time, I was dating a girl in Trenton, New Jersey, and I thought I could ride them.

Speaker 4:
[56:47] I thought he sounds bad.

Speaker 8:
[56:47] Hold on, hold on.

Speaker 3:
[56:51] Can't just, Trenton, I love you. Goldfingers, what's up? What's up? Trenton is very wild. It's very wild.

Speaker 6:
[57:02] Yeah, Trenton is wild.

Speaker 3:
[57:05] So you was going to pick her up in Trenton?

Speaker 6:
[57:06] No, I was...

Speaker 3:
[57:09] Nobody picks up nobody in Trenton.

Speaker 6:
[57:10] No, I actually moved in with her and her mama.

Speaker 7:
[57:13] He can't, he can't, he can't.

Speaker 6:
[57:15] I moved in with her and her momma, so I could go out to New York and get this deal.

Speaker 7:
[57:19] The deal was good.

Speaker 3:
[57:21] But now, inside the label, wasn't you down with Loud, SRC?

Speaker 4:
[57:26] Yeah, you got one of the biggest deals at that time.

Speaker 6:
[57:27] Well, yeah, that was afterwards.

Speaker 3:
[57:29] Yeah, but inside the label, was you not included in it?

Speaker 6:
[57:33] I wasn't in Loud, we was SRC.

Speaker 4:
[57:35] SRC, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[57:35] So, that was a whole different... Because that was after Steve had threw the chair out the window.

Speaker 4:
[57:41] But he invested in you to restart the whole joint.

Speaker 6:
[57:43] Yeah, like we did that. To be honest with you, it was reciprocal. And I'll say this...

Speaker 4:
[57:50] Because that's what I met Banner at that time.

Speaker 6:
[57:52] I'll say this.

Speaker 3:
[57:53] I told you, our fans are the dumbest in the world. What does reciprocal mean?

Speaker 4:
[57:59] It's going both ways, no homo.

Speaker 6:
[58:02] I'll say this about Steve. I think Steve, because I was running in LA and I saw Steve, and I think Steve don't think I like him. We cool. I don't have no problem with dudes.

Speaker 3:
[58:12] He don't think that president is like him neither.

Speaker 6:
[58:14] I'm cool.

Speaker 3:
[58:15] That's according to the inside of the label.

Speaker 6:
[58:17] I think he changed my life and I changed his life because I believe I'm the reason why he was able to really stand up in the Universal Building. That's like a pimp record.

Speaker 3:
[58:26] But why is that like an issue? Like you and Deb Prez both said the same thing about him.

Speaker 6:
[58:33] Let me tell you, people think because you're pro-black that you hate white folks.

Speaker 4:
[58:37] Break it down.

Speaker 6:
[58:39] And dude, you can be Celtic, you can be from any fucking place and be proud of your country. Black folks are the only groups of people that if we stand up for our people, they think we hate somebody else. That's some bullshit.

Speaker 4:
[58:51] That's an insecurity.

Speaker 6:
[58:53] Because know what they've done wrong. Like dude, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know any other label that would have took a rapper like Pun, three, six mafia. Let me say that again. Three six mafia, Wu-Tang, a whole bunch of crazy motherfuckers. I don't think I could have went anywhere else. And been as Mahalik, exactly Mahalik. Yeah, I don't think, Xzibit, Ray Kwan, we could go on and on. But like the thing is bro, it's like Steve, I was one of the few people, I noticed this bro, I was one of the few people, them folks were scared of me. Like people see this shit right here bro, but there's a whole nother, I started to change my name away from David Banner because I saw so many similarities in me and the incredible hope. Because like I got a clinical anger problem, dog. Like I go to therapy, I sit out on the couch with an old white lady and talk about how fucking angry I am.

Speaker 3:
[59:59] Just so you know, this is my therapy, I do Drink Champs every week.

Speaker 4:
[60:03] I need the number of the white lady.

Speaker 3:
[60:04] Make some noise, make some noise, me being my therapy, why he talking about therapy.

Speaker 6:
[60:11] And that's why the shit happened like in Washington, dude, like at the end of the day, we still, our default is where the fuck we from. If a get wrong with you, left right. You feel me?

Speaker 3:
[60:25] I go right back to the hood, section one, section two, section three, section four, section five. There you go, ha!

Speaker 6:
[60:33] So for me, like, the thing is, man, is that I think I did as much for Steve as Steve did for me, but I couldn't have been the man that I am today because I'm doing some amazing shit. What people don't know, bro, I own a multimedia company. I score all the music for Gatorade for the World Cup. Mercedes-Benz, Marvel vs. Campcom. I did that commercial. Shit, you name it. All three years ago, all the music for Pepsi during the NFL season.

Speaker 3:
[61:05] This is the from Coming to America.

Speaker 8:
[61:07] Let's make some noise for him.

Speaker 6:
[61:11] What you need to know, Nore, is I am the guy that says the world penis is clean.

Speaker 3:
[61:15] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:
[61:17] Tell them, God damn it. I went to LA one time and I just sat in. I sat in on his session. It was crazy. He was doing mad deals. Remember when I went to LA and I just sat in? You were doing interviews. You were doing scoring shit. I was like, yo, Banner's doing crazy shit right now.

Speaker 6:
[61:31] But that's where I keep telling people, if you want to get these kids, you got to show them some success. So the truth is, people hear about the God Box, like what you can pre-order right now.

Speaker 3:
[61:43] I was about to go on to this because I follow you on social media. And I think your fans are a little pissed off at you. I'm going to just keep it real.

Speaker 6:
[61:52] Why?

Speaker 3:
[61:53] They've been waiting for you to drop this for quite some time. Like, I be seeing them just go at you. Like, I love when I follow a on social media. They like the pre-mix take. They like that. But this has been so much anticipated. Then I seen you on an interview where you said that the reason why you couldn't get it is because you needed people's signatures.

Speaker 6:
[62:14] Yeah. Well, it wasn't...

Speaker 3:
[62:16] How difficult is that one when you were just there?

Speaker 6:
[62:18] I'm going to say this. I was real disappointed because I really only did records with people. And me and you talked about this. Like, after I had made the metamorphosis that I made, I'm really appreciate it.

Speaker 3:
[62:29] Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 6:
[62:30] Bro, you ain't really trying to ruin it.

Speaker 3:
[62:37] Oh, listen, you gave me where I want to go. You gave me where I want to go. You want to answer that? Because I got somewhere I want to go.

Speaker 6:
[62:44] Go, go where you want to go.

Speaker 3:
[62:45] Listen, we had Tyleb Kweli on this show, right? And he thought I was bullshitting. But I really want Tyleb Kweli to run for New York City mayor. Because I think at some point, as us, hip hop and, you know, somebody get killed, and we retweet that, and we say so. Hold on, homie, we say so. But why we can't have Tyleb Kweli run for New York City mayor, right? Get David Banner to run for Mississippi mayor. Or, fuck it, you don't got to run for Mississippi mayor. Let's do some Arnold Schwarzenegger shit. Move to Hollywood.

Speaker 6:
[63:24] We're about to do that shit.

Speaker 3:
[63:25] Don't say it out loud.

Speaker 4:
[63:26] No, man.

Speaker 3:
[63:29] And you know what?

Speaker 4:
[63:31] You know what? We got three million something right now.

Speaker 3:
[63:34] And you know what? Also, this is a thing, man.

Speaker 6:
[63:37] Noreaga, let me say one thing. Let me stop you. Excuse me.

Speaker 3:
[63:38] Are you running for mayor? We need you to run for mayor.

Speaker 2:
[63:41] Because listen, listen.

Speaker 3:
[63:43] Let me say what I want to get off my chest. Because I feel like there's whatever races there is, we should add another race. And that race should be hip hop. And what I mean by that is... That's deep. What I mean by that is why hip hop society can't look out. This is one of the deepest conversation I ever had. I've been doing this for 15 years. It's me hitting them and saying, yo, I just feel like hip hop need a union. Like I want people that...

Speaker 6:
[64:14] And he brought shit all the way down, too.

Speaker 3:
[64:16] Had one hit, they distributed it and they fucked up. I want to like pay for something, like if he break his knee.

Speaker 4:
[64:25] Now, Caris One, he tried to do the ins... Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[64:28] I remember, I told him, but I had already spoke to the brother.

Speaker 4:
[64:32] He did.

Speaker 3:
[64:32] And this is real shit. It's like, I think we could control more, because I told it to Russell, and I said this on the podcast, I said this on another podcast, I don't remember. But I told Russell, I said, I need you to run for president. And Russell said, yo, I smoked dope. And I was like, I said, everybody smoked weed.

Speaker 5:
[64:56] No, he smoked dope.

Speaker 3:
[64:57] But he said, dope, for her.

Speaker 4:
[65:03] I think it was Russell.

Speaker 5:
[65:04] He told it, you know, he kicked the whistle while he said, nah, you know, he don't smoke, but he said, man, in my younger day, man, you can look at it in the crush group.

Speaker 4:
[65:12] No, he definitely didn't, though.

Speaker 3:
[65:14] So he told me he smoked heroin, right?

Speaker 4:
[65:17] Angel does.

Speaker 3:
[65:17] But I told him, fuck that, right? Now listen, now listen, I'm going to try to break something down as smart as I can. Right now, whether you agree with Trump or you disagree with Trump, he is making politics like a freestyle battle.

Speaker 4:
[65:32] Oh, it's a total freestyle.

Speaker 3:
[65:34] It's kind of like a freestyle, it's kind of like Smack DVD.

Speaker 4:
[65:38] Yo, he took it all the way down there.

Speaker 3:
[65:41] It's like, yo, you can say something facts, and if I got the better rhyme, and I'm more-

Speaker 4:
[65:48] The punchline. The punchline gotta hit.

Speaker 3:
[65:50] Add it into the crowd with the punchline, the crowd with me. So, why we can't elect Kanye and Jay-Z whenever the presidential years is? And then, to make sure we get them, we get the people running for mayors. Bun B, the president of-

Speaker 4:
[66:14] Bumby could definitely do some shit.

Speaker 3:
[66:16] What is it? What is it? Come on, man. Help me out. Where Bumby from?

Speaker 6:
[66:22] I got him in every city.

Speaker 3:
[66:24] No, I know, I know, but- No, it's- Paul Arthur, you know. He running Paul Arthur. You know, Talib Kweli running, at least, Brooklyn office if you don't run for the actual mayor. You know what I'm saying? Like Snoop running for the motherfucking governor of Cali- Fuck that. California. Like, we- Listen, because we all laughing. Because this is my dream, right? Listen, we all laughing. But the same way we get a to go out and buy a Drake album for whatever, whatever. Listen, Drake, you running for Toronto mayor now. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4:
[67:02] Hey, your dream ain't too far. We got Trump running for president.

Speaker 3:
[67:05] That's what I'm saying. This is what I'm saying. Am I buggin Banner?

Speaker 6:
[67:08] No, because that's something that's in the works. But the thing is, is that I personally feel like we got to stop saying it, because when the tea party...

Speaker 4:
[67:21] They're going to stop it.

Speaker 6:
[67:22] No, they're not that they're going to stop it. When the tea party do shit, you don't know what it to is too late.

Speaker 5:
[67:26] See, I got to look at it like this, man.

Speaker 3:
[67:29] You going to run for mayor of Long Beach.

Speaker 5:
[67:31] Paying all that taxes and all that other shit, man, this shit is gangsta.

Speaker 3:
[67:34] Right.

Speaker 5:
[67:35] You know, it's gangsta on the street. Them motherfuckers up there.

Speaker 9:
[67:39] Yes, they are.

Speaker 4:
[67:39] Oh, they taxing a lot.

Speaker 9:
[67:40] They kill it. They kill it.

Speaker 5:
[67:42] You know what I mean? Dust you off in the middle while they brushing their teeth and shit.

Speaker 3:
[67:46] No, but can we keep...

Speaker 4:
[67:46] They're strong-arming us.

Speaker 3:
[67:48] Listen, can we keep complaining about the laws that don't protect us if we actually have a chance to make the laws that protect us?

Speaker 4:
[67:56] That's what Civil War was about.

Speaker 6:
[67:57] Let me tell you the easy way to tell them. This is what I tell people. Power won't invest in poor people and to poor people invest in power. We got to make power moves, but we got to do it quietly though, bro. We got to talk to each other in rooms. Hold on, we got to talk to each other in rooms, like how me and you talked, and then once we get our shit together, then we talk about it, because if we talk about it before, then they're figuring out ways to make sure that it don't happen.

Speaker 5:
[68:25] It's like this. Never say a name on the internet before you go get the domain name.

Speaker 4:
[68:29] There you go.

Speaker 6:
[68:30] That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 5:
[68:32] Because now, now these are going to try to get the name, and now you want to sell it to you.

Speaker 6:
[68:37] And now they're going to pass laws to make sure that you pay.

Speaker 4:
[68:40] But you know something that I think we've been fucking up, as a culture, when I'm, you know I do the documentary series where I go outside the country, and I'm checking out these other countries. And as I've been going to these countries, they saying they don't really follow us no more. And I think us as a culture, we're not paying attention to the influence that we've had internationally, which could have made even the culture more powerful here. You know, and then we let it go, we let it go. Now when I went to Vietnam, I just went to Vietnam, I'm like who influences you? Korea, Japan, used to be US.

Speaker 5:
[69:16] Remember when we, shit, when we go down there, it's a party, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4:
[69:23] No, it's definitely a party.

Speaker 5:
[69:25] I'm just saying like, go. Influential when we go down there, I could be walking down the street.

Speaker 4:
[69:30] But we're not investing in the culture.

Speaker 8:
[69:32] They know about the culture.

Speaker 3:
[69:33] But this is what I'm saying. I apologize because you off E. But this is what I'm saying. Like the voter die campaign.

Speaker 5:
[69:42] Everybody had a T-shirt.

Speaker 3:
[69:44] Everybody had a T-shirt.

Speaker 4:
[69:45] We did the promo, crazy.

Speaker 3:
[69:46] Puff ran out, whatever. But let's imagine if Puff was the actual running guy.

Speaker 6:
[69:54] If he had an ending result that had to do with us.

Speaker 3:
[69:58] If we had it, exactly.

Speaker 5:
[70:00] Puffy stays sharp.

Speaker 2:
[70:01] He got the suits and everything.

Speaker 3:
[70:02] Why we can't force Puff, Hove and Kanye to be like, really...

Speaker 6:
[70:08] We shouldn't force people who don't want to do it.

Speaker 3:
[70:10] No, no, they'll do it. They'll do it because it's hip hop. Being the president, Donald Trump made being the president hip hop because he went at it like a smack DVD. Let's make some noise for Donald Trump. I don't know if we should.

Speaker 4:
[70:26] I'm sorry. I'm not making noise for Donald Trump.

Speaker 3:
[70:28] Not for his approach.

Speaker 6:
[70:30] No, no, but watch this.

Speaker 3:
[70:31] His approach and how far he got.

Speaker 6:
[70:33] Watch this, though.

Speaker 3:
[70:34] And how far he got. Watch this, though.

Speaker 6:
[70:36] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But the thing that I tell people is because we don't pay attention. I don't have a problem with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a businessman. He showed motherfuckers what he was about. He's about business. He said it back in the day. He said like, if I ever run for president, this one, he was a Democrat. He said I would run as a Republican. He's the, what do you call it? He's the reality, he's the reality TV show president. And that's what runs our country. But watch this.

Speaker 3:
[71:09] And Ronald Reagan was like the actor.

Speaker 4:
[71:10] He was the first actor.

Speaker 6:
[71:12] But watch this.

Speaker 4:
[71:13] But watch this.

Speaker 6:
[71:14] Hillary Clinton sent over 600,000 black men to jail because of the law that her husband passed. Everybody's talking about Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, but we forget about the law that her husband passed that made the nonviolent drug act what it was. The three strikes, all that kind of stuff, that was the Clinton family. So I have a point. Donald Trump is theory. He's theory.

Speaker 9:
[71:45] But the Clinton family is fucking real.

Speaker 4:
[71:48] We're stuck between a rock and a hard place. And plus the Clinton foundation, what happened in Haiti? When I went to Haiti, ain't nothing. They was like, they ain't do shit over here. So what happened to millions or billions, whatever the fuck they did?

Speaker 3:
[72:01] So David Banner, The Raptivist. Did you mind I call you The Raptivist?

Speaker 6:
[72:04] Bro, you can call, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[72:05] That is hard, right?

Speaker 6:
[72:06] Just don't call me bro.

Speaker 3:
[72:07] Yeah, yeah, listen.

Speaker 4:
[72:08] Don't call you bro.

Speaker 7:
[72:09] Yeah, don't call me bro.

Speaker 9:
[72:10] Bro, bro, don't call me bro.

Speaker 4:
[72:13] Bro is kind of a Miami thing sometimes.

Speaker 3:
[72:15] No, who are we voting for?

Speaker 7:
[72:17] Yeah, like no money.

Speaker 6:
[72:18] That's what I don't want to be.

Speaker 3:
[72:20] Are we voting for Bernie Sanders?

Speaker 4:
[72:22] Bernie Sanders is out of it. He's out.

Speaker 3:
[72:24] He's out?

Speaker 4:
[72:24] Yeah, he's done.

Speaker 2:
[72:25] Where the fuck I been then?

Speaker 4:
[72:27] You were in the last Drink Champs.

Speaker 6:
[72:31] That was funny.

Speaker 3:
[72:32] Yo, Bernie Sanders not here?

Speaker 5:
[72:34] Yeah, Bernie had enough of money right now.

Speaker 3:
[72:35] I think somebody got to text me.

Speaker 6:
[72:37] Hey, y'all, let's give a shout out to Bernie Sanders real quick.

Speaker 4:
[72:42] He tried.

Speaker 3:
[72:43] So Hillary, she ain't legalizing we eat another of that.

Speaker 4:
[72:45] We're.

Speaker 3:
[72:46] We're up.

Speaker 4:
[72:48] They're going to have to eventually.

Speaker 3:
[72:49] Am I supposed to make people vote?

Speaker 5:
[72:51] Yeah, hey, like I said before, Obama got to finna skate out of office, you know what I'm saying? He legalized we eat in Washington, DC. He was out.

Speaker 8:
[73:01] It was all great.

Speaker 3:
[73:03] Obama pushed hope.

Speaker 6:
[73:05] Reagan pushed dope. Clinton pushed something down a young gal's throat. And since we're talking about throats, white folks which you know about ropes, white folks which you know about trees and men swinging from them that look like me, how you say that don't affect us? Tuskegee, how you let them infect us? It's fear of the black semen, putting sage on a page to eradicate these demons. This for Tulsa, Oklahoma. This for Rosewood. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3:
[73:43] And I want to ask you this last question, because we kept hearing you saying, you was homeless, and you could have gave up. Let's reflect on the moments when you thought about giving up. And what made you not give up?

Speaker 6:
[73:59] Let me tell you something, I'm from the poorest state in the union.

Speaker 3:
[74:03] Mississippi? Mississippi.

Speaker 6:
[74:04] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[74:04] Y'all look rich for me, from the outside.

Speaker 6:
[74:06] Giving up? Let me tell you something, bro. Like, let me tell you this to everybody who think about giving up. If you give up, you go back to what the fuck you from. Giving up is not what you should worry about. It's being successful. When you're successful, that's when shit change. You used to be in broken, fucked up. Like, that ain't what you worry about is being fucked up. It's being successful, then you gotta do something new. Then you gotta learn, worry about how to keep it calm and can't cuss out them white folks like you used to. David Banner? Like, that's when you gotta learn a new skill. That's when you gotta learn accounting. That's when you gotta learn a business. That's when you gotta learn how to be diplomatic. And we ain't diplomatic motherfuckers. We emotional motherfuckers. So for me, it ain't, bro, I ain't going back. I ain't going, I ain't, no, not, I mean, going back to being broke.

Speaker 3:
[74:59] A state of mind.

Speaker 6:
[75:00] Mississippi is, let me tell you something. Let me tell you, I'ma clear all this shit up. It's about my people. If all the black people and people of culture moved out of Mississippi, Right. Hey, cause ain't none of us from this bitch anyway.

Speaker 3:
[75:16] Anywhere we claim.

Speaker 6:
[75:17] You know what I'm saying? Like, like, like dog, we don't own this shit. Like we people of culture, like man, this is, it's a global thing for all of us. Like I rep Mississippi because I rep Mississippi as hard as I do. I tattooed it on my back because act like they parents ain't from Mississippi.

Speaker 3:
[75:34] How you do it?

Speaker 6:
[75:34] You want to see it?

Speaker 3:
[75:35] I like the way you be like.

Speaker 6:
[75:36] It's back here.

Speaker 3:
[75:37] Nah, I like the way you break it down while I'm around. Yeah, I like the way you do that.

Speaker 6:
[75:41] I don't rap like that no more.

Speaker 4:
[75:42] Come on.

Speaker 8:
[75:44] You thought he was going to give me dance!

Speaker 4:
[75:47] Come on now.

Speaker 6:
[75:48] Let me just say this, let me just say this.

Speaker 3:
[75:51] I ain't go front. You really put Mississippi on the back. Like, you know, I was from left-rack, right? So that's why you keep saying left-rack, and that's my hood. I love you. But this is a small, this is a part of New York City. Nobody had never heard a rapper rap Mississippi.

Speaker 6:
[76:08] But let me tell you, I'm a humble dude. Let me read this to you. Let me read this to you right quick. It's funny, I was reading Psalms this morning. I wake up every morning and I study something from it.

Speaker 3:
[76:18] Give us the reverend one prayer.

Speaker 7:
[76:19] No, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 6:
[76:21] Every religion, every religion, I study Buddhism, I study-

Speaker 3:
[76:24] Are you every religion?

Speaker 6:
[76:26] No, I'm not every religion, but I study every religion. So listen, it said, be not wise and die on eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil. Proverbs 3.7. Like, I don't take credit for shit I'm supposed to do. You're supposed to stand up for your people. You're supposed to do for your community. I don't take when people pat me on my back for the shit that I do for my community. It's what the fuck you're supposed to do as a man. My dad told me that. My dad said, you don't stand up for the shit you're supposed to do. You're a fucking man. It's that it ain't a lot of men in hip hop no fucking more.

Speaker 5:
[76:59] It's hard to tell you what to do.

Speaker 6:
[77:00] Right. So it's like, try to play like I'm a Malcolm or something. Now, I ain't no where close to our fathers. That's like, I'm gonna say this. That's just like basketball players who win one fucking championship and they start comparing them to greats. Hey, that's degrading the culture. I ain't like, the shit I'm doing ain't special. I'm doing what the fuck I'm supposed to do, but because most motherfuckers don't do shit at all and make me look like a kid. I ain't doing nothing, bro. I got more work to do, but man, I love my people.

Speaker 3:
[77:29] You got more work to do, but we're very proud of you. Oh, man, thank you. We're very proud of you. Listen, Father's Day just passed, so we gotta ask, like we ask every other guest. You ready? When was your first album? What year was your first album first? 92? What year was your first album? 98. 98. How many abortions y'all paid for?

Speaker 8:
[77:54] Let's keep it real now.

Speaker 3:
[77:56] Just keep it real. How many abortions? Let's keep it real.

Speaker 5:
[77:58] None.

Speaker 8:
[78:00] None?

Speaker 3:
[78:01] How many kids you got did that?

Speaker 5:
[78:03] Me?

Speaker 3:
[78:03] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[78:06] Four?

Speaker 9:
[78:08] Is that two or four?

Speaker 3:
[78:09] I don't know.

Speaker 5:
[78:10] That's peace.

Speaker 3:
[78:13] You didn't even say how convincing. Come on. How many abortions you paid?

Speaker 9:
[78:17] Listen, let me tell you this, bro. No answer is smart.

Speaker 4:
[78:21] You gotta be in the Drink Champs.

Speaker 3:
[78:23] We finished David Banner's world.

Speaker 6:
[78:25] One time.

Speaker 9:
[78:26] This is a really sad story.

Speaker 6:
[78:28] This is really sad. And I don't want to bring down the vibe. But y'all never heard what happened to my kids.

Speaker 4:
[78:33] This is going to be a joke.

Speaker 6:
[78:35] Stop around.

Speaker 8:
[78:35] No, I'm serious.

Speaker 6:
[78:37] No. You didn't?

Speaker 8:
[78:39] Damn.

Speaker 6:
[78:40] They got to swallow it.

Speaker 3:
[78:48] Yo, because, can you listen to me? David Banner, it got to be hard being a conscious around a whole lot of ass.

Speaker 4:
[78:57] It's balance, man.

Speaker 5:
[78:58] Balance. When we started, we didn't love them hoes.

Speaker 3:
[79:00] So we was, it was all the bitches.

Speaker 5:
[79:03] Leave them bitches alone. Bitch, you got some money.

Speaker 3:
[79:06] What can you do for me that I can't do for my? And somebody here going, It was crazy.

Speaker 4:
[79:13] Like when we was in Vegas.

Speaker 3:
[79:15] Yeah, like when we was in Vegas.

Speaker 5:
[79:17] Come on.

Speaker 3:
[79:18] Let me get that bottle that's open. Because you got to have a balance, David Banner. Level spelled backwards is level, because you got a balance.

Speaker 6:
[79:25] Let me tell you why it's not hard for me.

Speaker 3:
[79:26] You also made strip club music too. Let's make some noise for you.

Speaker 6:
[79:29] I made the dirtiest song ever.

Speaker 3:
[79:32] Talk about it.

Speaker 6:
[79:32] I made play. I tell people this all the time, bro. Just because I'm conscious don't mean I don't want to fuck. I tell people that all the time. Like damn, just because I read the fucking book don't mean my dick don't get hard. But it doesn't control me like it used to. Like the thing is, I watch, man. I even watch the shit that happened to Pac. They admit it. When that rape shit happened with Pac, he wasn't even in the fucking room. So it's like, when are we going to get fucking smart and realize like, dude, rap is my fucking business at this point. And I feed, literally, dog, I feed a whole tribe of people of all colors because I'm David Banner. So I have to watch the shit I do, not just for me because the old David Banner creeps up a lot. But I think about the children, like the people that I fuck with.

Speaker 3:
[80:31] Like the Hulk on the back, creeps up.

Speaker 6:
[80:33] Yeah. So, so like for me, bro, like, let me tell y'all, anybody that's a rapper, let me tell you what you do. You fuck. Everybody want to fuck. Lawyers want to fuck. Congressmen, congresswomen want to fuck. You find a broad that has as much to lose as you have to lose. Right. And you cool. You fuck with a broad that's a mayor shit. Go tell it.

Speaker 3:
[80:58] Because what happens if David Banner get fucked up one day? He fucks a bitch and then she got you on Snapchat.

Speaker 6:
[81:05] And she ain't gonna get me on Snapchat.

Speaker 7:
[81:08] I got too much money and too much jewelry on bitch. I ain't even worried about it. Like I said before, a that ain't got no money, ain't got no time.

Speaker 5:
[81:15] And I'm going home.

Speaker 3:
[81:17] So how do you handle your group, David Banner?

Speaker 5:
[81:20] I don't do group.

Speaker 3:
[81:22] You very hard. It's false. Come on, David Banner. You had a one night stand before. Go ahead, let's bring it down.

Speaker 6:
[81:30] But what I did, let me tell you what I did. Back in the day, I had a tribe all over the United States.

Speaker 4:
[81:38] Tribe of O's is what you're saying, right?

Speaker 9:
[81:40] I just had a tribe.

Speaker 6:
[81:42] You call them what you want to call them, but I had a tribe and they all knew what it was. So like I had a tribe from, say it was all six hours from any place in the unit, Canada or the United States.

Speaker 5:
[81:54] A stable.

Speaker 7:
[81:57] I call it a tribe.

Speaker 4:
[82:01] Of course, he would call it a tribe.

Speaker 3:
[82:04] But did you have Afrocentric bitches?

Speaker 6:
[82:07] No, I had.

Speaker 3:
[82:07] Like the bitches that do with you.

Speaker 4:
[82:09] He said he had Eskimos all the way down there.

Speaker 6:
[82:14] I had women all over the world. It's not about that. It's just about people who understand what you about. respect. Like that's part of the problem. Those don't have respect.

Speaker 3:
[82:25] Is there pimp culture in Mississippi?

Speaker 6:
[82:26] Oh, shit yeah. That's where the shit comes from. That's where it comes from. Let me tell you, that's one of the reasons why I fuck with Harlem like I fuck with Harlem, because the reason why they had zoot suits and shit was from the fucking South. Like, that's where the South went to. That's why, shit, I lived in Harlem for six years. Like, the pimp culture comes, a lot of people don't know this, the pimp culture comes from slavery. People don't fucking read. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like read all the pimp books, the shit. What they did was, they treated the woman like the slave master, treated black people. That's all pimpin is. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, like, read, read any fucking pimp book. Anybody that's a real pimp, they'll tell you that shit. That's where it fucking comes from. This shit ain't hard. And that's why it's easy for me to transist into what I am.

Speaker 3:
[83:20] We never learned this much in one. It's like everybody just sitting around.

Speaker 4:
[83:27] Like, we went from pimpin is good to pimpin is bad.

Speaker 9:
[83:35] He said that shit.

Speaker 6:
[83:36] That's where it comes from.

Speaker 3:
[83:37] ready to call they strippers right now, like, look bitch.

Speaker 4:
[83:40] I let you go. I let you go.

Speaker 3:
[83:41] I ain't really mean to... That's not what I meant. David Banner like, yeah, did you hear us? You know, Tyler Kweli came on here and he said that he seen Prince invent reverse...

Speaker 4:
[83:53] Reverse pimpin.

Speaker 3:
[83:54] Reverse pimpin. Did you ever see that type of thing? Reverse pimpin. You know what that is? He see a bitch pimpin, he say, I'm gonna pay you to leave. That's what type of Prince is. Let's make some noise for that. He dead.

Speaker 4:
[84:11] Prince.

Speaker 6:
[84:15] That went a little bit too...

Speaker 7:
[84:17] Dad, that shit went fast with me right there, bro.

Speaker 4:
[84:19] You didn't hear about that?

Speaker 3:
[84:20] You didn't hear about that?

Speaker 4:
[84:21] No, I didn't, bro. He said he told the stripper, I'll pay you to get off the stage.

Speaker 3:
[84:25] To get off the stage.

Speaker 4:
[84:27] This is true.

Speaker 3:
[84:28] Have you ever done that?

Speaker 6:
[84:29] I was probably in DC, in jail at the time.

Speaker 3:
[84:43] Yo, Daz, I gotta ask you, Daz, cuz all y'all songs say, y'all don't give a fuck about bitches. True. Have you ever been pussy whipped? Be honest, be honest. Maybe you ain't paid for the pussy, but you paid for her to get some converse. You paid for her to go to Slauson.

Speaker 5:
[85:08] I ain't did that.

Speaker 3:
[85:09] You ain't never tricked.

Speaker 5:
[85:10] This is my motto. What can you do for me that I can't do for myself?

Speaker 3:
[85:13] No, but you listen, dad, you never tricked one. You ain't never give a bitch.

Speaker 5:
[85:18] I ain't never, I never did that.

Speaker 3:
[85:20] Not one time.

Speaker 5:
[85:21] I've always been a hustler, so I always had my own shit. You know what I'm saying? And if I've been kicked out.

Speaker 3:
[85:26] Exactly, so the bitch, man, that ain't all over shit.

Speaker 5:
[85:29] So, I'm looking for somebody who could do something for me. I know what I could do for you and fuck you.

Speaker 3:
[85:36] Is this Pimp Blanket what you're talking about?

Speaker 5:
[85:37] Yeah, all that shit, you know what I'm saying? But as a kid, we always put that in, because that's all we knew.

Speaker 3:
[85:43] Listen, all right, but you ain't never been pussy whipped?

Speaker 5:
[85:45] I mean, you know, I like the bitch.

Speaker 4:
[85:49] That's as much as you're gonna get out of it.

Speaker 5:
[85:50] I don't fuck with this, you know what I'm saying? And she keep fucking me back, you know what I'm saying? We, we, we fucking, but it's like, you know, we in this entertainment, we move, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3:
[85:59] I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 8:
[86:01] I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3:
[86:02] In our experience in New York and the East Coast, man, I forget about you. We have respect, we have respect for our woman. When it gets to the South, at the West Coast, like we don't call our woman bitches. Y'all can say what y'all want, but in New York, we don't call our woman bitches. When you get to the South, they be like, bitch, bitch. Oh, the further west you get.

Speaker 7:
[86:26] Did you see the beat Cat Stacks?

Speaker 3:
[86:28] Oh, yeah, I see he's spitting in her face.

Speaker 1:
[86:31] But listen, the further west you get, they ain't even put a deficit on a bitch.

Speaker 7:
[86:36] They be like, bitch.

Speaker 3:
[86:38] But like, if you think about it, the disrespect towards our woman don't start to the South, and then look at David Banner.

Speaker 5:
[86:48] It's different, bitches and women, two different things.

Speaker 3:
[86:50] No, but there's a lot of bitches. But you understand what I'm saying? Like, this is dealing with realistic shit. Like, y'all actually call y'all homegirls bitch. Like, we don't call our homegirls bitch.

Speaker 5:
[87:02] I mean, they call themselves bitch. I don't give a. They like, bitch, we'll be hangin. I don't give a.

Speaker 3:
[87:06] But in the South, in the West Coast.

Speaker 6:
[87:09] Well, let me tell you what I believe about that. I believe that music in general just is because if you notice, as soon as whatever, whoever was controlling music at the time, everybody adjusted. So we can't necessarily say that anymore because what you have to understand, during the time that you came out, and I tell people this all the time, even in New York, you had a community that was conducive because you had the Israelites, you had the nation of gods and earths, you had everybody out on the block. Was it, who took all the people off the street? Was it Bataki, who was it? The Lord, I mean the mayor. That took care of it.

Speaker 3:
[87:55] It could have been Bataki.

Speaker 4:
[87:56] No, no, it was, what's his name?

Speaker 3:
[87:58] What, David?

Speaker 4:
[87:59] Bloomberg? No, no, it wasn't Bloomberg.

Speaker 3:
[88:03] He had a rich.

Speaker 6:
[88:04] Anyway, let me make the point. The point is this, is that if you look at New York now, the blocks are clean. It's not conducive to rappers. We come from a place that ain't conducive to certain types of things. Yeah, Giuliani. Yes, that's who it was.

Speaker 4:
[88:23] Definitely.

Speaker 6:
[88:24] It was Giuliani.

Speaker 4:
[88:24] I had a brain freeze.

Speaker 6:
[88:25] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[88:26] So, what Giuliani did was he may stop and frisk law, the law. Like, I can just look at you if I'm a police officer, and I can just frisk you.

Speaker 4:
[88:37] But he froze everything in the hood.

Speaker 3:
[88:39] Yeah. Well, that's what Giuliani did. But my point is...

Speaker 5:
[88:42] Did New York got the three-strikes law?

Speaker 3:
[88:44] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4:
[88:45] Miami got it for sure.

Speaker 3:
[88:46] People don't even have a self-defense law in New York. You in Colorado, you go to jail. That's it. It's not Florida. It's not Mississippi. It's not LA.

Speaker 6:
[88:55] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[88:55] New York. Yeah. New York, we got the foulest law. So, I know what you're trying to say.

Speaker 6:
[89:00] I got a shout-out to... I had to park my bus in... Where's Brad Newby in front of? Brooklyn, right?

Speaker 3:
[89:09] No. New Rochelle.

Speaker 6:
[89:10] I had to park my bus in New Rochelle.

Speaker 3:
[89:12] Yeah, because the bus is a woman in the city.

Speaker 6:
[89:14] I had them things. And I'm from Mississippi, so I had all them things on my bus. But the problem is this, is that we don't look at the history of the places that we're from. Like, what people don't understand is, unless you're from the islands, if you're black, you're from the fucking South.

Speaker 3:
[89:34] Right. No, that's a fact.

Speaker 6:
[89:35] So, in saying that, people came, people went to different parts of the country and got enlightened and forgot the reason why we are the way that we are. Do y'all know why we call Crackers Crackers? Do y'all know why we call Hunkies Hunkies? We call Hunkies, Hunkies, cause they used to pull up to the black whore houses and they felt like they was too good to come in the black whore houses, so they used to hunk.

Speaker 8:
[90:01] Hunk, hunk. Here come the hunkies.

Speaker 6:
[90:04] Here come the hunkies. And you know why we call them crackers? You know why they call them crackers? Because of the crack or the whip on their fucking back. Even the words that we call them that they say that's derogatory, they're powerful. And you cracking my ass on my fucking back, that's a word of power. That isn't like, nigga. So I'm just saying that when you look at the south and you look at the west coast, you got to look at the shit we went through. Do you know that?

Speaker 3:
[90:32] Hold on, you mean George Jefferson ain't a vain honky? That's my. Let's make some noise.

Speaker 7:
[90:39] Do you know about them pulling?

Speaker 6:
[90:42] Do you know about them? I think it was south central. I think it was south central. If I'm not correct, excuse me, west coast. But I think it was south central, like when they pulled up the...

Speaker 3:
[90:52] Emancipation population? No, no, no, no.

Speaker 6:
[90:54] They pulled up the train car with all them guns in it and all the homies when they got the guns out like, dog, like cracking America. You gotta think about Olly North. You gotta think about Reagan. Yeah, like all these shit that, when you look at the reason why the south and the west coast and the reason why we do the shit that we do, we do it for a fucking reason. And nobody ever talks about the fucking pain that we go through. If you remember Mississippi the Album, my first album, when I started my album off, I said, where the fuck your mama from? Where the fuck your grandmama from? If you ain't from the Isles, motherfucker, you from the South.

Speaker 3:
[91:38] Yeah, it's pretty true.

Speaker 6:
[91:39] So, when you look at the black exodus, black people were supposed to go and educate themselves and come back and either get us.

Speaker 3:
[91:47] No, it's true.

Speaker 6:
[91:47] Or educate us, but motherfuckers went and got government jobs and forgot a motherfucker. And that's where I come in.

Speaker 3:
[91:54] It's true. After slavery, we went straight to the south. But there's generations upon generations of people who are, like I would say people in the west coast are on the third or fourth, maybe fifth generation, same thing in people in New York. But yeah, ideology, everything, we all from the south. We came from slavery. We came to the south or we went to Puerto Rico, you went to the Dominican Republic, you went to Columbia.

Speaker 4:
[92:19] Which the island was the slave trade off, came to the island.

Speaker 3:
[92:22] That's why I didn't want to do this somewhere right now. There's people in Dominican Republic, you get the wrong one, you get the wrong one, you got to... There's people in Dominican Republic darker than people in Compton. There's people in...

Speaker 4:
[92:37] But they don't consider themselves black sometimes and that's the problem. Colonialism is still entrenched in their culture.

Speaker 6:
[92:43] I just left Africa and that's what I found out.

Speaker 8:
[92:46] Colonialism is a bitch, bro.

Speaker 6:
[92:49] I always tell people...

Speaker 4:
[92:49] The lasting effects...

Speaker 6:
[92:50] Where people of culture, anybody in this, where can you go and really, really, really, really escape white supremacy?

Speaker 8:
[92:58] Haiti.

Speaker 3:
[92:59] Haiti?

Speaker 8:
[93:01] Not even in Haiti.

Speaker 4:
[93:03] Because when I went to Haiti, they all lived in the... The lighter people lived all in the mountains and they were the richer people.

Speaker 8:
[93:11] I heard somewhere that Haitian people are David Banner's favorite.

Speaker 3:
[93:16] Listen, you might be right, but I ain't going to Haiti or Cuba until y'all build a W.

Speaker 8:
[93:21] Make some noise for that guy, David.

Speaker 7:
[93:24] I ain't making noise for that.

Speaker 4:
[93:25] I ain't making noise for that.

Speaker 3:
[93:27] I'm sorry, man. I'm going to take a soap.

Speaker 6:
[93:30] But places that defended themselves from white supremacy...

Speaker 4:
[93:35] Like Haiti.

Speaker 9:
[93:36] Exactly.

Speaker 6:
[93:36] That's my point...

Speaker 9:
[93:37] .are always the places that I treat it to. Exactly.

Speaker 6:
[93:40] That I treat it to worse.

Speaker 3:
[93:41] You going to Haiti for a vacation?

Speaker 6:
[93:43] Bro, look.

Speaker 4:
[93:44] Haiti's a beautiful place.

Speaker 6:
[93:45] Listen, man, listen.

Speaker 4:
[93:46] Don't play Haiti's a beautiful place, man.

Speaker 3:
[93:48] I've seen you in Hollywood movies. You ain't going to Haiti for no vacation, David. Keep it real.

Speaker 6:
[93:53] It may not be for a vacation, but a learning process, bro, like for us to learn...

Speaker 7:
[93:58] We need to learn the shit they do.

Speaker 4:
[94:00] But listen, Haiti got some bad rap, man. Let's stop doing Haiti's bad rap. They got beautiful places there, man.

Speaker 3:
[94:05] I just with Sonny D. So you came from Africa. Let's go.

Speaker 4:
[94:10] You said he came from Africa.

Speaker 3:
[94:11] He just said. He just came from Africa.

Speaker 6:
[94:15] Let me say what I learned about Africa. White supremacy and people in America make you afraid of Africa, so you won't go and be a billionaire. If you want to be a fucking billionaire, you need to take your ass to Africa. That's where they going. Everybody in the world is chopping up Africa and getting their resources. It's crazy. And the one thing that I learned, bro, this is some crazy shit. A lot of the people that they flash on the fucking camera that y'all think poor, them motherfuckers got 70 cows and fucking 400 acres of land. It's like they don't need your fucking help. It's going to be worth a lot. That's one of the things I learned. Like a lot of people that they take pictures of, they make them motherfuckers like the ain't hurt. I went to a and a girl tried to give, Terrence J. Girl at the time, tried to give one of the dudes money. He slapped the money out of her fucking hand. Like, I don't need your motherfucking money. I own all that shit you looking at. So it's like, bro, they scare us away from our homeland, so we won't go back and give money. Like, I got to be honest with you all. I didn't take the opportunity and maybe I should have, but I had an opportunity to set up publishing situations in Africa, and I didn't do it because I didn't want to be the motherfucker that take an Americanized system and pimp people who don't understand. But it's like, bro, like, the resources, the opportunities, I want to tell everybody in this room, if you're in a city that got a whole bunch of buildings, you written. But if you're in a place where there's only land.

Speaker 4:
[95:52] And you could build.

Speaker 6:
[95:53] You got an opportunity to fucking build. Yeah. Like, my best friend in the world right now, she fucking told me something I never thought about. She said, you know what I meant to Banner? I said, no, she said, I meant to put my name on buildings. And I never thought about that. Everybody who's listening to Drink Champs right now, when you in your city, look up and look at all the motherfuckers who names on buildings. It ain't no people or culture.

Speaker 5:
[96:22] Yeah, I've been to Africa.

Speaker 3:
[96:23] You've been to Africa?

Speaker 4:
[96:25] What countries in Africa?

Speaker 5:
[96:26] We've been all over with Snoop. You know, there's a sky's the limit.

Speaker 3:
[96:30] So here's the million dollar question, Banner. You got some pussy in Africa?

Speaker 4:
[96:35] You went to Liberia? Did you go to Liberia?

Speaker 5:
[96:39] You can't even drink the water out there. You can't stay inside.

Speaker 3:
[96:43] Because Ali was offended that they flew in stakes on water.

Speaker 4:
[96:47] Not our homie Ali, but Muhammad Ali.

Speaker 3:
[96:50] Did you tap in to the real resources?

Speaker 7:
[96:56] Oh yeah, he did.

Speaker 4:
[96:58] He drank out the bottle.

Speaker 3:
[96:59] Pop another one.

Speaker 4:
[97:01] Here, there you go.

Speaker 6:
[97:01] Hey, what did Deshapelle say?

Speaker 3:
[97:05] We don't know what Deshapelle said.

Speaker 6:
[97:07] What's happening number four?

Speaker 3:
[97:08] Not this one. It's been a little longer, I know.

Speaker 5:
[97:12] I played the fifth.

Speaker 3:
[97:14] You didn't get no pussy in Africa? FIF. I'm never coming to go to Africa. The F. I never been to Africa. FIF.

Speaker 5:
[97:20] I played the fifth. I'm good, bro.

Speaker 3:
[97:21] Yeah, I got you.

Speaker 5:
[97:22] I don't want no feeling there, bro.

Speaker 3:
[97:24] Banner, you gotta loosen up.

Speaker 6:
[97:26] That ain't my job. That ain't what you need.

Speaker 3:
[97:28] You did a song for TI. You did a song for TI, Rubber Band. You did a song. How much pussy was coming to you in the strip club at that moment? In your life. In your life.

Speaker 4:
[97:39] Come on, David Banner.

Speaker 3:
[97:41] Loosen up. The people who listen. The best thing in the life is that, you know, it's Tyler Equality, like, again, I told you, he sat right in there. And I know how cool you are. I know how cool Tyler Equality is. And that's the best thing Drink Champs could do is just show how cool you motherfuckers are. Because sometimes, to certain hip, I don't know, we got to stop Tyler Equality from texting these fans on Twitter.

Speaker 7:
[98:06] He don't go to sleep, dog.

Speaker 4:
[98:08] I wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning, dog.

Speaker 6:
[98:11] I wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning, this still asking questions.

Speaker 4:
[98:14] He boggles these, yo.

Speaker 3:
[98:17] But Banner, we got to, even if we ain't talking about your life right now, we talking about your past life. Got a lot of pussy in your life, right?

Speaker 8:
[98:27] Talk about it. Let me tell you something, Noreaga.

Speaker 3:
[98:29] Back in the past life.

Speaker 6:
[98:31] And no homo at all.

Speaker 9:
[98:32] I need you to reset yourself and close your eyes.

Speaker 6:
[98:36] Close your eyes for a second.

Speaker 4:
[98:38] Oh, he's doing it.

Speaker 6:
[98:39] Turn around towards me.

Speaker 9:
[98:41] No, he turned the wrong way.

Speaker 6:
[98:43] Stop.

Speaker 4:
[98:46] You dabbing? Are you dabbing?

Speaker 6:
[98:51] Even when I was broke, I ain't never had no problem with no pussy.

Speaker 3:
[98:54] Let's make some noise for him.

Speaker 4:
[98:55] That's real pimp shit.

Speaker 6:
[98:58] Ever. When I was at my brokeest, bro, but I'm just being honest with you, man. I had a great time in life, but I was super focused, bro. Like, I got to be honest. You think about this. I was acting. I was rapping. I was an activist. Like, dude, nobody thought about the 10 years in my career, bro. I went straight from like, think about it. When I wasn't rapping, I was producing TI., Wayne, or what's the guy that produced Michael Jackson? Oh, Quincy Jones. Yeah. People like him.

Speaker 4:
[99:33] Let's remember Quincy Jones.

Speaker 6:
[99:39] So, like, bro, like, the thing is what people don't understand. A lot of these rappers get in the rap to get pussy because they never got pussy before. Pussy and drugs and shit. I'm going to open up. I don't think I ever talked about this. I started fucking when I was six. I'm being honest with you. I started smoking weed.

Speaker 7:
[99:59] Who was that?

Speaker 6:
[100:02] I was very clear. I started smoking weed when I was eight. So, it's like, by the time I got older, the shit didn't mean nothing to me. Like, pussy don't move me. Like, drugs don't move me. Like, opportunity moves me. And if you get the opportunity, the pussy and the drugs and whatever the is going to come, and that ain't no pimp and shit. That's law. That's universal law.

Speaker 3:
[100:26] God damn it. I just feel like I got to pop my collar. He go, Sonny, this is your job.

Speaker 2:
[100:33] Pop my collar.

Speaker 3:
[100:35] Hilarious.

Speaker 6:
[100:39] God damn it. Like, I don't understand rappers getting in the game to get pussy. Like, that's lame. If you got to find something else to get pussy, like, you are another kind of dude. Like, when I was the brokeest, I got pussy. Pussy ain't a problem to me. It ain't never been. I've been an extract. Let me tell you, I'm a melanated fucking phenomenon. Let's be clear about that. I look at me.

Speaker 4:
[101:02] You should say it to a broad. She dropping the panties right there.

Speaker 6:
[101:06] What you gotta understand, if I'm around, the panties already dropped. Don't worry about that. That's good. But the thing is, that don't control me. Like, that kind of shit don't matter to me. That ain't... That's when I was in high school. All these motherfuckers missed the mark. Like, dude, I wanna go down in history. A man told me, it's not what people think of you now. It's what they think of you 800 years from now.

Speaker 4:
[101:32] Like, dog, 800.

Speaker 3:
[101:34] They gonna say Biggie Smalls was a white boy. They might, but they gonna say David Banner was a rich.

Speaker 6:
[101:43] Slip that in, dads. You heard me.

Speaker 3:
[101:45] But now, let's just keep it real. I enjoy looking at you guys' beards.

Speaker 4:
[101:53] I had it first. I had it first.

Speaker 3:
[101:55] What are y'all trying to represent? Wisdom?

Speaker 4:
[102:02] No, he's talking about our white beards.

Speaker 3:
[102:03] I'm talking about y'all too. The white beards. Is this wisdom that we represent?

Speaker 4:
[102:08] I don't want to die my shit.

Speaker 3:
[102:11] Because I know you could die your shit.

Speaker 6:
[102:14] I think I wanted to be the first black man that stood up and tell, you know, to show the youth that it's cool to be an elder. Like, I earned mine. Like, I just got tired of man being...

Speaker 3:
[102:27] From stress or wisdom?

Speaker 8:
[102:28] Both.

Speaker 3:
[102:29] Both.

Speaker 8:
[102:29] Both.

Speaker 6:
[102:30] I just got tired of fucking cosmetic shit. Like...

Speaker 3:
[102:33] So you was dying at one point?

Speaker 6:
[102:35] Hell yeah. My shit been great. Let's be real. My shit been great since I was 27.

Speaker 3:
[102:40] Get the fuck out of there.

Speaker 6:
[102:41] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[102:42] Now I'm seeing your shit on the side. A little bit. A little bit.

Speaker 6:
[102:44] But I'm extravagant, though. I'm extravagant. But I want kids to know that it's okay to grow up because in African culture, the fucking elders are the motherfuckers that's revered. I'm going to be real.

Speaker 4:
[102:58] And Native culture as well.

Speaker 6:
[103:00] The youth are the movement. The youth are the feet. The youth are the feet. The elders are the brain. Tell them. In American culture, we don't even fucking respect the fucking elders. And I trip on young rappers because one thing you can't, and I'm saying this word only because of the ignorance. Nigga, the one thing you can't stop or the two things you can't stop is getting old and dying. So why the fuck are you going to stop getting old? Like, you need to be prepared for that shit because you keep saying young, young, young, bitch, you got 10 years. And you a rapper.

Speaker 3:
[103:42] My here got an ARP card.

Speaker 4:
[103:45] Just in case you didn't know.

Speaker 3:
[103:46] Show me your chest hair.

Speaker 4:
[103:48] He dies, he dies. Show me your chest hair.

Speaker 2:
[103:55] Yo, look, look, look, look.

Speaker 3:
[103:56] Gray is okay. That 50-foot.

Speaker 6:
[104:00] Hey, bro, this is awesome.

Speaker 4:
[104:04] Who would have ever thought, right?

Speaker 3:
[104:07] Daz, man.

Speaker 6:
[104:08] Can I ask Daz a question?

Speaker 3:
[104:10] Yeah, please ask Daz.

Speaker 6:
[104:11] Let me ask you a question, bro. Like, if there was one thing, because I know what it would be. If there's one thing you could tell a youth popping like right now, he just got his fucking deal, he popping, he happy. There's one thing that you could tell him, one mistake that you made, what would it be?

Speaker 5:
[104:31] Just observe. Don't talk, just listen. Jodeci.

Speaker 6:
[104:38] Boom.

Speaker 5:
[104:39] You know what I mean? But yeah, just observe, man. You know what I'm saying? I watch everybody else's mistakes to know what I need to do and not to do. That's why I'm still here. You know what I'm saying? And so, I try to advise everybody the same thing. You know what I'm saying? Count your money, watch everything. You know, what are you going to have in the end? You know what I'm saying? What are you doing with that rap money?

Speaker 8:
[105:00] As a producer, though, like...

Speaker 3:
[105:03] I like the producer-producer talk. Let's keep it going.

Speaker 6:
[105:05] What is that thing, like, that you think that separates Daz from everybody else?

Speaker 5:
[105:12] I mean, you know, just being ambitious.

Speaker 3:
[105:15] You know, always wanting to go towards it.

Speaker 5:
[105:18] Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying? It's, you know, just getting to the pointy things. You know what I'm saying? You don't need a bullshit. You know what I'm saying? Somebody gonna get knocked out of this. Yeah, yeah. So hey, you know, it's always good vibe and always work with people. Like, when you come in the room, you already feel the vibe. Something different, you know what I'm saying? Your spirit will let you know what's going on.

Speaker 6:
[105:40] I tell people all the time, people try to come in the studio and see what I do. I always tell them it's soul music. There is no algorithm for what I do.

Speaker 3:
[105:49] You know what the greatest shit for me about producers is? Y'all always the smartest nigger in the room.

Speaker 6:
[106:00] I don't know if smart, but vibey.

Speaker 3:
[106:02] What I mean is, any person that produces, it's like seeing a canvas. And y'all can see the canvas before the canvas is painted. An artist, we actually need to see the outline. You gotta give us the outline and not color in between. I'm a kid of garden. That's the way I think about it. You give me the outline, motherfucker.

Speaker 6:
[106:30] Nore know this.

Speaker 4:
[106:31] These dudes, they mathematicians, man.

Speaker 3:
[106:34] So, like, you know, Hazardous is a producer. You know, all you brothers that's producers right here, it's like...

Speaker 6:
[106:39] Your verse on the farm was my favorite.

Speaker 4:
[106:42] All of our favorites, 100%.

Speaker 3:
[106:47] Listen, I'm going to make one last album, and that's I Really Need a Beat.

Speaker 5:
[106:51] All right, got that.

Speaker 3:
[106:52] Man, I really need a beat.

Speaker 6:
[106:53] That's easy.

Speaker 3:
[106:55] I don't know how I'm going to do it, what I'm going to call it.

Speaker 6:
[106:57] I got one now.

Speaker 3:
[106:58] All right, well, I'm going to make sure I come correct, because I've been fucking up right now. I've been traveling, drinking Champs.

Speaker 4:
[107:06] Drinking Champs?

Speaker 7:
[107:08] Not even the Drinking Champs.

Speaker 4:
[107:09] Cheers to the Drinking Champs.

Speaker 3:
[107:13] We do it with an ING on the end, motherfucker. Well, listen, man, listen, there's no way I can thank you guys so much, because at the end of the day, you know, the numbers is one thing, but for our artists to trust us and us being people that's inside the game, I always tell people we are like Kenny Smith, Charles Barclay and motherfucking, what's the other nigga? Shaquille O'Neal, because we are inside the game, we've been in the locker rooms, we did everything that we had to do, we played the game, and we want people to come in and express themselves. Daz, we just did an interview with him in Las Vegas, and we had Drew Hale, Tony Yayo, Karrar, and it was a whole bunch of, and I said, Daz, man, you in Miami, come on out here, and then David Banner flew out here, I want to thank you, my brother, that was so beautiful.

Speaker 6:
[108:05] Shit happened to me, that if it wasn't for y'all, I wouldn't have came today.

Speaker 3:
[108:10] I so appreciate you clearing that up.

Speaker 6:
[108:13] No, no, no, you have no idea what happened to me.

Speaker 5:
[108:17] It sounded like me, though.

Speaker 6:
[108:20] It's funny, I spent all my years of being a rapper, and I never got in trouble, and I didn't get in more trouble in the last month than I have in my whole fucking career. But I think what it's showing me is that something is about to come. That's how the most I've worked with me. And I was really proud of y'all, man. Like, good or bad, bro? Like, me and you have always talked your mind if I get personal.

Speaker 3:
[108:44] No, no, no.

Speaker 6:
[108:44] We always been trying to find out our way, and because we love the culture so much, and like y'all did some shit that, like, bro, I don't really drink in front of.

Speaker 3:
[108:56] Yeah, but you're drinking today, Yeah, but I did that for a reason.

Speaker 6:
[109:00] I did it, one, because they gotta see just because shit, we read a fucking book, don't mean, and we don't get up.

Speaker 3:
[109:05] You're a human, man. Jesus made wine and shit like that, didn't he? Jesus made wine and bread. Let's make some noise for Jesus. Jesus want his to eat. As simple as turn, I'm dyslexic, so Jesus want his to eat.

Speaker 6:
[109:20] I don't know, Nore, if it was this.

Speaker 3:
[109:23] Listen, made wine and it said Jesus feed the whole village with one fish. Yo, Daz, man, you know what? You're so historic, you're so legendary. You know David Banner, man. We really appreciate you guys for coming out because at the end of the day, if we don't support each other, and all our shit is just getting together, having some talk, letting the fans feel like a fly on the wall. Like at the end of the day, I know we celebrated about the one million, but I can't believe that it's one million people willing to come out in one week and support pure hip hop.

Speaker 4:
[109:55] One million plus.

Speaker 3:
[109:56] This is nothing sanctuary, what is that called? Like, there's no adit, there's no derbitives, there's no none of that. I don't even know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4:
[110:11] We're accident. We're the abortion that didn't work.

Speaker 3:
[110:15] Yeah, yeah. I mean, listen, man. So, when the heart is crazy, I just always thank them, because you know what? Y'all could have been anywhere in the world tonight, but y'all spent the night with the Drink Champs. Let's make some noise!

Speaker 9:

Speaker 3:
[115:03] They were supposed to sign Cash Money.

Speaker 6:
[115:04] Because Cash Money came first.

[115:20] Skull Duggery had Skull Duggery's side.

Speaker 6:
[115:22] Who was the... No limit. What was the name of it? Tommy Boy.

Speaker 4:
[115:26] Tommy Boy, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[115:27] They had Latifah. They had, like, bro...

Speaker 4:
[115:30] De La Soul, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[115:31] De La Soul, like, bro, Lil John brought Bonecrusher and them over there. Like, bro, Tommy Boy had shit that they didn't know that they even had, bro, like, and they just fucked it over, bro. But what it did, it made me a better businessman. Because let me tell y'all something before I go out. This is the last thing I'm going to say tonight. It's your fault even when it's not. How the fuck you going to expect God to allow you to be a visionary? Being a visionary means you see shit other people don't see, but you're cursed to sit in it alone. So how you going to expect some other motherfuckers who ain't from where you from to see your vision? You'd be a fucking businessman. If fucking a Tommy boy would have popped, I wouldn't be who I am. I rent my home fucking building is not. If a bitch don't want to see me in their city, motherfuckers ain't doing me right, I rent a whole fucking building. Dude, literally, it's mathematics. Pull out your fucking phone. I do $20 to $25 a head, $500. I mean, 500 people, a thousand people, 2,000 people. You don't need all these motherfuckers. Like they tell you you need a million people. You don't need but 20,000 motherfuckers that fuck with you and you super serve them. Easy. It's easy, dog. It's numbers. My mentor said when you was out on the street hustling, did you let another motherfucker count your money? I said, no, sir. Why the fuck you doing it now? Well, I don't let nobody. Wait till after the camera will cut off, bro.

Speaker 3:
[117:08] This is Drink Champs podcast. We gonna still talk. That's Dame Da shit. We represent for Dame Da shit. We try to represent for all rappers. All rappers who got a liquor, you're welcome to bring your bottles on here. We won't charge you for the first couple of years. But it doesn't matter. We want to support rappers. I'm a foul digger.

Speaker 6:
[117:33] Why you didn't say that about me being on your album? I think that was one of the dopest verses I ever kicked in my whole lifetime.

Speaker 4:
[117:40] Anything that's with him.

Speaker 3:
[117:41] I thought it was gonna go there too. I let you keep the interview on him.

Speaker 6:
[117:45] Let me tell you, bro. I did that shit on Arsenio Hall as a point and people didn't know that shit was a verse, bro.

Speaker 4:
[117:53] Wait, before we did it for my part?

Speaker 6:
[117:55] No, after.

Speaker 4:
[117:56] Really?

Speaker 3:
[117:57] I did it for his. You made it on a point.

Speaker 4:
[117:58] Yeah, he ain't even tell you about that.

Speaker 3:
[118:01] Y'all great bigs are supposed to text each other when that shit happen.

Speaker 4:
[118:05] Yo, that record is crazy, by the way. And you know Norea didn't want to do the record originally. Oh shit!

[118:11] No, you did it.

Speaker 4:
[118:12] that.

Speaker 3:
[118:13] The beat.

Speaker 2:
[118:14] No, the beat had nothing to do with the artist.

Speaker 3:
[118:16] I don't know what it must have been.

Speaker 4:
[118:18] You was the first one on the record.

Speaker 3:
[118:19] I was?

Speaker 4:
[118:20] Yeah, and then John Connor. Shout out to John Connor.

Speaker 3:
[118:23] I've been trying to retire from rap for a long time. People ain't letting me retire.

Speaker 4:
[118:27] And who, Sprigga Benz is on that record too. Crazy.

Speaker 6:
[118:30] What was the guy that was on it originally?

Speaker 4:
[118:33] Who, is it Sprigga on that record? No, no, no, no.

Speaker 6:
[118:35] The very first guy that wrote the hook.

Speaker 4:
[118:37] Sizzla. Sizzla's on that record. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 6:
[118:40] The guy that wrote, I heard you. The guy that sung on it first.

Speaker 4:
[118:46] That was the demo. I forget. That's the person I gave him the credit. I gave him the credit. He wrote that verse.

Speaker 6:

Speaker 3:
[119:26] The God Box.

Speaker 6:
[119:27] Any way you get your fucking music. People say they want better music, but they don't pay for it. So, you know, it's to the point now where our music is ran by people who don't look like us. And I'm sick of that shit.

Speaker 9:
[119:41] Like, if you want better music, pay for that shit.

Speaker 6:
[119:44] is streaming, but it's definitely killing our...

Speaker 9:
[119:51] God Box.
