Speaker 1

Because you were young.

Your crew was so Brooklyn you know your Jesus rough Man.

Yeah, but we wasn't you know what I think did that when the when the separation, it felt like it started to become Harlem against Brooklyn.

So that's why on our side we started to become more defensive.

But me and you always been like always my nigga, Like every time I used to take certain things, me and Dame and get into our arguments and all of that, you was the one that'll come to the end at the end of the convo and bleak.

But bleak.

It ain't gotta be like that bleak like y'all tripping.

Man, we was fucking headaches.

Speaker 3

I didn't really do a lot of your music because you had the big homy hoop hope your backup THO was the his A and R hope that would bleak.

But I was bleaks, bleak, nice baking.

Come on, come on, just get it, let's get off.

Speaker 1

I remember, yo, listen, niggas don't even know like the song we did with cam the just Fire.

Yes, remember I wrote a first verse to that joint.

And you the one who came to me and was like, Yo, Dame said that ship is trash.

Remember that sh bro yo the question but he did make that broyes Yo.

His nigga was like, Yo, Dame said that ship is trash.

I was like, face man, fucked out it.

Tell Dame, come tell me that.

And Mamber Damn came to the studio.

The dame was like, no, bleak, that ship is trash man.

I think you could write a better verse than that, man, And I'm like, what, I went crazy on this ship and I'm like, yo, I ain't gonna front y'all.

Niggas had me so mad that night that I went back and rewrote the verse.

And I thank y'all for that because we would have never got the verse we got if y'all never said that.

Yo, bron bleak seventeen.

Yo got money y'all that was on of this his cruise with him, Yo, I gotta do it.

Y'all was hot.

My nigga like what.

I was like, no way, niggas said this ain't it?

But then I rewrote it.

I was like, Yo, in my mind, I was saying, I'm gonna write the most disrespectful ship you could say to a nigga in the street, and it's no way nigga gonna tell me they oh fuck with that.

And that's him that you appreciate that I knew you was mad at me, but you name lame me Luca Rose from Godfather because out of town, all all games gonna do.

Speaker 3

I said, Yo, man, it's gonna kill me, but please gonna be mad, but I'm gonna tell the youth.

Speaker 2

And I used to be like that with his friend, this big homie.

Speaker 1

That's right, man, Like your relationship with you know, what was your really individually, We're gonna break it down.

What was your relationship with Biggs?

Man?

Biggs rest in peace?

No, Biggs' brother you Hell yeah, man.

We went to Japan barb Hell yeah, man, blessed Bob, that's my brig.

Was like he was younger than me, the biggest, this biggest young.

Speaker 3

So I could say now because this it's not that Biggs was young with a lot of money.

Speaker 1

Hell yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 3

This was like eighteen nineteen, just had bread bread.

So Rock started.

Speaker 1

We first of all Bleak, before Rock even existed Bleak.

We all we did was snap and drink.

That's it, Snap and drink, that's it.

And they was kept talking about that's when Jay was working.

Speaker 3

It was like Jay got a young and at Bleak bringing it along and that's your first one sign besides you know the balls they dumb that don't count.

So then I said, Yo, Biggs didn't want to be down Big give a fuck about it.

No, he didn't give a fuck about block and nothing.

All Biggs kid about was bricks and drinking.

Speaker 1

That's that's why I got the name.

How fun.

Speaker 2

Yeah, so then we're chilling, chilling, and Bis, this is my man.

Speaker 1

We just bleak.

I sweart always to do his drink ship yo.

Yeah.

I was the most snapping crew.

Yeah yeah, you come around the crew too serious for me with no no no yo.

Bro.

That was because Bigs and Dang y'all used to chew niggas up for everything.

I remember.

I came around with the white Army fatigue suit m HM and nigga bigs.

First Big said to me and was like, yo, fucking you the nurse for the army.

Like, like you the nurse for the army, and I got the white fatigue you know.

I get in the car with j J like Nigga, ain't im sending the white were you fighting in the snow?

They cut me up.

J threw my hat out the window.

On of y'all was the worst, Like even if you you had the pop tags, dame.

Whole thing was if you ain't popping tags, you're bum ass, nigga, you ain't fly today.

And y'all invented the poors game.

Like one hundred percent that started from y'all crew.

One hundred percent was the very quiet you don't know you.

Speaker 3

He don't fuck with you.

That's right, we don't fuck with you.

Don't ask him nothing, don't say nothing.

He was very comfortable me.

Speaker 1

I was my friend.

He's cool with Bleak, So.

Speaker 3

My I love Biggs man, you know, but you know Big, I gotta be honestly, Biggs grew up and he got to this day.

Speaker 2

Now, me and Biggs has some controversy.

Speaker 1

No way, I ain't know that.

Speaker 3

Come, I gotta keep her.

No, no, no, no, I think mean Biggs are still cool.

I think we need a conversation.

I'm going to make my business to make sure I call Biggs today or tomorrow.

Speaker 1

That's a fact.

Man.

You got you like you childhood friends, and I always felt like to me.

My my rule with my friends are if we never had physical altercation.

We never you never slapped my kid, killed my dog, tried to fuck my wife.

All we have was a verbal dispute.

Man.

We cand that can be fixed, bro.

That's what I'll be telling some of these rappers, nigga.

All we had was an argument over beats, Like are you argue for beats?

Like when was arguing for beating?

Think about it.

When you dissing these niggas that you never even met, you never had a physical altercation with, That's basically what you're doing.

It's just an argument overbeats.

He say this, You say this, he say that.

You You know what I'm saying.

So that's what I mean.

Like that type of ship can always be repaired.

When when it becomes violent and something happened to someone, then it's a little bit more fix that.

But so that relationship with Biggs can definitely And.

Speaker 2

He's Nory's manager, I think.

Speaker 1

Help.

Speaker 2

Yeah, why I said, it's not that because I wouldn't be here.

Speaker 1

Yo, bringing up Norri.

That's my fucking bro, yo, Norri man Nori set me up with you.

Oh that's oh yeah, Yo.

I'm in the crib chilling swatching football regular day phone ring.

I answered the phone and nigga say, Yo, I got these niggas on the phone.

I need you to hold me down.

Click.

All you hear is Dame a big face going in yo.

Yo.

We left Yo, Yo, No, no, no, nobody wasn't saying nothing crazy.

But it's just like I wasn't ready.

I was caught off God and I'm like, Yo, damn, you set me up.

You don't even give me time to get rady, like prepare me.

Yo, I got these niggas on the phone.

They come in at my head.

It was nothing, but I was glad we had that phone call because you made my day.

Bleak.

Speaker 3

You don't understand how Dame he was talking all crazy ship that I know he don't mean.

Speaker 1

Speaker 3

I want to go around figure the He was likeah blah blah.

Then I got them on the phone.

Yo, I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 1

Bleak.

That's one of the biggest arguments that I never see three motherfuckers argue for three album Yo.

Y'all, it was a three hour argument.

I know you'll be Oh no, you were saying he was his ship.

He went back, he went back, he went back, that phone call was it was an episode that ship would wait.

I swear to.

Speaker 3

God, Yo, I've never seen an argument like that.

You went at it man other ship.

Like I said, we made it true.

That's what he got mad at you.

I don't know we talked about he said recently he threw a cheap shot out of him.

Speaker 1

Didn't because we're gonna talk about this, but it's because of the ship.

I probably said on Breakfast Club about beans, but it's kind of impossible to talk about beans without mentioning Dang, even though I didn't want to mention him.

That I had to, but I didn't mean to.

But that wasn't about none of that.

Dang didn't keep our truth, neither my g Damn because I don't be Hell knows, I don't be Dame.

I've seen the interview Dame sitting with the cowboy mass on the hat on the little fly Cowboys ship on the suade on the shoulders and that nigga like this, Yeah, bleak, take ten steps to draw a nigga or he was giving you hell too.

Speaker 3

Yeah, that's what I mean.

Speaker 1

The Dame things your big home, not don't j level.

They're a big homie like all of y'all.

Listen, y'all, y'all was a kid.

What y'all did you?

That's what you're supposed to do.

That's right, y'all.

Added Yo, listen, that phone call was very needed, very necessary and needed, man, because I haven't spoken to you in years.

You know what I mean.

I haven't spoken to Dame in years, let alone all of us on the phone together hashing out differences, what people felt, what they thought, and you know, clarifying a lot of ship.

So I felt like a lot of things was answered on that call and that led us to be here.

No, yeah, he picked me up.

Was throw a shot.

That was crazy.

But how you big me up?

And that was shot?

Ain't the brightest light in the god Damn.

I couldn't even be a lightning, Bob, he said.

Speaker 2

Yo, man, I can't front man.

Speaker 1

I gotta really sat and talk as much I would believe about ship, this, this, this and that.

Speaker 2

And I took a right in your rhymes.

Speaker 3

And I would people.

I will say this Jay helped you with certain thing was so fucking what.

Speaker 1

So nigga, Yeah, so I knew dame like it became a point and what made me back to our point about the conversation and the truth.

What made me stick to the truth, to our truth and what we said that we wasn't gonna take shots at each other because I look at this podcasting world and I look at this media world now that the artist is into.

Is that you say something, they say something, you say something.

You always say, Dames the big homie, you always deals.

You always nothing nothing bad about Dang.

Ever, my thing with Dang always been.

Speaker 1

What I thought.

My opinion is, I just thought Dang got drunk with power.

I always felt like that, like you know what I mean, like he got drunk with power.

And it just because this gang bro, this ship, what Goso comes down.

Not only that this ship is like this ship like heroin bro.

The same way you see a heroineatic chase that high.

I feel like these entrepreneurs, entertainers, rappers, CEOs, bosses that once had that high, they chase that just like a heroin heroineautic.

To me, I feel like it's the same thing.

They just not strunk out.

They just you know, got a better parents, but almost to look like the same feeling, like the same thirst.

You know, it's funny you said that because like I look at Dames like Jason, I look at Jay's like long, I don't give a fuck about Rocker j.

I got some asshole ways too.

But it's just it's good that, you know, it's just good to know that, you know that Dame is okay.

Yeah, of course, man, But my thing is right with that.

I always felt like the rock We was the strongest crew.

We we we was bro that ship.

I feel like, you know, the magic trick when the glasses on the table and he pulled the tablecloth off and the glasses are still just standing there like nothing happened.

That's how I feel like what happened with us with Rockefeller, Like it felt like the tablecloth just was young from under our feet and there was nothing none of us can do.

But I saw it coming, and I used to try to I used to try to warn these niggas.

No, there was no way to come.

There was no way to prepare.

I was broken, Ship, I was having a kid.

I was fuck.

It was no way to prepare, Bro.

I didn't see it coming.

That's what I'm saying.

It was no way we were spending money like you was spending.

Everybody spending money, yo, bleak dang big everybody.

Everybody had to reinvent.

Speaker 2

I'm a man, Bro.

If I God forbid, if something physically happened to me to where I'm unable to provide for my family, then yes, I'm gonna break that glass in casey murgence.

The long as these hands fingers toes and work, Bro, I ain't gonna never cry to no man and tell like plead and I'm going out here and get it.

Then I got kids.

What I'm gonna tell my son when you fucked up?

Act somebody like it's that that don't even make sense.

This podcast is good man for me and bleep because I didn't even know that.

I'm thinking j Bro.

I was born in a recession.

I always gotta remind niggas that I was born broke, so getting money seventy eight, getting money, getting money always been a priority, and it's never been It's you know what it is like a lot of people look at getting money like it's a hard task.

Getting money is not hard.

You know what's hard?

Keeping money I spend.

But you know what I spend all businesses, Bro, You dose pieces here, pieces there, pieces there.

So when it's time to go by roly, go upgrade the chain.

This company bought that.

You know what I'm saying.

Like I was telling you about the business account shit, Bro, I got about ten different business accounts under ten different businesses, like the Weed company.

Different accounts.

I got restaurants accounts, Weed company accounts, fucking podcast accounts, regular business accounts for my personal new business like real estate business accounts, like Bro, the portfolio is diversified.

I just fucking bought a barber shop when I came here to New York, right in Jersey.

So you know what I mean, say cheese barbershop real soon, man, Like, that's what I spend on now.

Because I don't want my son and I don't want my daughter to ever feel like they gotta do things that they never they got to bend the rules to make it because I've been them enough for you just.

Speaker 2

Want to get out of college and get a job and whatever you like to do do like my.

Speaker 1

Son, I don't even I don't even care if they go to college.

Bro, like high school to me cool.

I want my kids to be business owners, not employees.

You know what I mean?

Like school school don't raise business owners.

They teach you how to be an employee.

Yeah, and that's just real.

It's not bad.

Some people ain't made to be a boss.

Speaker 2

I'm saying this ship.

Speaker 1

No one knows this.

Speaker 3

That's why I need to come to Jayson.

Jay's gonna be always be okay, okay, he said.

Hell yeah, bro, I got my daughter.

My daughter want to go on trips.

Baby, she just came from Korea, Japan.

You got your first man, I was.

I was hyped.

Got my ship delivered in front of Rockefeller.

Got there, they pulled my shirt off the truck.

First.

I thought I was that.

I thought I was that.

I can say, I see bleak come up with all that.

I lost it all too.

I came up.

I lost it all and I got a basket.

Why to me, man, my wife was a gift from God.

Man because she's.

Speaker 2

Seen her on the internem Yeah, she's opposite of you.

Speaker 1

Yes, she's gift from God.

From Brooklyn.

She's very clean.

Yeah.

Really, she's the one who instilled I said in the song on my album that I was living, but she told me how to live.

Wow, you know what I'm saying.

Like and and sometimes I think Rockefeller, we we made so much money, and we was running shit so long that the hustler and me Lie dorn It.

I put him to sleep because shit was coming so easy.

Pause you know what I mean.

Just go to Baseline the check, coup to Rock, go to Rockefeller the check come leave both of those places.

Do a show to check there.

It was checked everywhere we went right.

I was walking with Jay.

I'm a big the guy.

I lost a lot of weight, but your big face.

No, let no one take this hat.

I think I'm winning.

That's my man's tonight.

Niggas, what that's about.

I took that.

I'm telling you, it was just money flowing around, bro.

So when Rockefeller stopped for me, I felt like I had to wake the hustler and me up again.

It was no more looking out for niggas, cause you know all those walkthroughs.

Yeah, I gotta do it for you, bro.

Give me five hundred, give me two thousand, I pull up.

It's nothing, Nah, I ain't leaving my crib.

I don't know it just then on.

Now, that's why you didn't see me doing shows so much like that, bro, Because niggas are you running around doing shows for five thousand.

Let me tell you something.

I'm from the streets.

I'm from the same place you front.

You hit a nigga in the head, that five thousand can't get you a lawyer or bail you out.

Or I'm cool, I stay home.

Your business, I'm good.

I'm good, all right.

I respect that.

That's just me.

Man.

So after Rockefeller, what was your motivation to get back up there?

You're gonna be mad.

My daughter was born.

So if you're gonna laugh Rockefeller, you get unappointment six months or ninety seven a week.

Speaker 1

Damn.

Fortunately big my mom, my mom still live, Okay.

Speaker 2

It's hard believed that you said you gotta know, Dame.

Speaker 1

I love Dame.

I'm loyal to name.

I was working the shelter.

I had nothing.

I wasn't poor because you know, my mom wasn't poor if she worked.

Speaker 2

I'm gonna give you a thousand dollars a week because you're my man.

And then then I didn't have no money.

But them niggas are super fresh.

I had no money to buy clothes, So why am I going?

It was too much.

He was too much, too much every week, giving everybody so so blake.

And he's getting older and when you get old, you get stuck in your ways.

But I love him.

I stick with him, and I wait.

That's all I can say.

Speaker 3

But personal ship, I'm like that with Dame.

I don't give you nothing now, Okay, So you like me bela, Oh you know day funks with me too.

I'm being a good nigga who don't never say nothing to them.

He's trying to destroy me, Yo, Nick snapping on my crib bleak.

He ain't helping I don't need but he snapping on my crip all the size about right.

Speaker 1

Now, David, he's not in my house right now.

You lin't like that like that, Rember.

Now, one time the motherfucker said, let me let me send you something and something.

That's just how did him and Nori have a fucking fallot?

I thought everything was fan with him and Norri.

Speaker 2

Don't give himup, nor give him the plug.

That's one of the main thing I know.

Speaker 1

He said, No he was a gatekeeper.

He won't give him the plug.

Yeah, nor he a gate keeper the plug?

Like, and don't let you get you plugged it.

You don't give and I ain't gonn front.

His mouth was fucking give him the plug.

He said, nigga gonna give me the plug.

None of y'all say, call whatever, what if you connects argue with the plug.

He's it's out of the plug.

That's the problem.

Yo.

He sat right in front of the plug and told the plug, damn, I'm putting this out to the world.

It's all right.

But he sat in front of the plug.

He called the plug gay.

We have nothing against gabble y'all, I'm not.

Speaker 2

Don't give the plug, Nigga, don't give the plug.

Camp nor we don't give Nory give him the plug.

Speaker 1

So that's why he mad that normal because give him.

Speaker 2

I ain't give him the plug.

I think that's really the issue.

Speaker 1

He didn't has not given him the plug, and Dame wanted the plug, and I guess they fucked away.

Speaker 2

And when we did that thing, that arregum for three hours.

He called me your things, big face.

Speaker 3

Damn, it's human he's a damn it's human.

Speaker 1

He said, he's cool.

I share say, I don't want to get a plug.

Man.

He he right next to the plug.

He argued with the plug.

He dissed the plug.

I'm over investing in different businesses, making music just for the fun of it, not like it pays my bills or anything.

Just for the fun of it.

He's like me, he don't need to be rapping hard.

But Noorri convinced me to do this.

Oh he did.

Norwy was like, no, you're gunna dude.

I don't know.

I don't care.

So that nigga was convinced you made for this, bro, I didn't what he saw in me.

I didn't see in myself.

Speaker 2

Well I'm here, I was.

I'm gonna give you my man.

Speaker 1

I don't like.

Speaker 3

I didn't like the way your podcast either, until I'm seeing with you because I feel that you're very smart, but you put a B boy style that the world don't need to see all the time.

Speaker 1

Don't you know what I'm saying?

No smart, you see my part my ship real?

No, no, no, don't let me finish now.

I'm sitting with you, talking to you, absorbing you.

This is who you gotta be.

Yeah, this is me, my nigga always been.

No No, I said, bro, and my life.

I said that.

Speaker 3

I'm back.

I'm saying I'm wrong.

This Wasn're smarter than that.

This is who you gotta be.

This is me, bro, this is who you gotta be.

Speaker 1

Yes, my nigga talk because even in the rock the bad days, even with dipset face, even with that, you ain't never seen me slamming them niggas like that.

Bro.

I wanted I wanted this ship to work.

I was a nigga like damn.

We we had something brewing, and niggas blew it up because ego, because Harlem Brooklyn niggas don't even go there.

No, my, When the last time Day was in Harlem, when the last time Jay was in Brooklyn.

When you come to Harlem Brooklyn, I just was in Harlem.

You call Jim Jones.

Speaker 2

You ain't calling me till I told you.

Come on, man, My man told you come here.

Speaker 1

I know you.

Speaker 2

All I got is loveing Hall.

They nothe happening in Harlem.

Speaker 1

I was damping though you wanted the Vamp last night, I was vamping.

No, I was with Jim Jones with them, We was vamping.

That's his crew.

Vamp did the show last year.

Yeah.

Yeah, artists the artists and we did a collapse.

That's my brother.

You know.

We was talking hash and ship out and just you know, speaking about the what ifs.

And it's like I always think about that face.

Because we had the strongest crew in the world.

Bro.

You had State Property, you had Jay Biggs and Dang, you had dip Set just when they first started brewing.

Then I was there.

Then you had my crew get Low running with us.

Like Bro, we had an unstoppable crew.

Everything in the game would have been monopo Domino effect fell right into the lap of Rockefeller.

What went wrong?

M hm, You wouldn't know what went wrong?

What my opinion, what really really, really really really went wrong.

Yeah, I want to hear from your side.

Speaker 2

Expected when I saw I know your crew.

Speaker 1

I know Bean's crew, and I know jay No beat him the biggest mistake he made.

Speaker 3

And I don't care what comes after.

I don't think anything he does, just how I feel Camp should never thought he could be the president of rock Feller Records.

That's a fact, and not because of you, because as I know, I was there and I know.

Speaker 2

How it made people feel.

Speaker 1

That's right.

He was wrong for that.

He might have not minute to come out this way.

It was wrong.

But but it's so whacked that it took thirty years to say it, to admit that, like Dame stood on it.

Bro when Jake came home, it was saying Jove's home.

Dame stood on it.

He didn't backtrack it.

It was like, yo, he was bugging.

He went on it.

These my niggas, I'm with them.

Speaker 2

Regretted, he said, so you regret He said that he regrets it.

Speaker 1

You know what I'm saying, So we can in hindsight, he kind of fueled the lie.

Speaker 2

You're bleak, You're right, and damon no, that's a fact.

Speaker 3

You should have said when he came home, straight up, you're gonna be the fucking president of doing something.

Speaker 1

You know.

What's so ill about that though, because I even said it on my part with Cam, Dame and j had a conversation about that.

I put these two men on the phone before Jay even came home, and the words from Dame on that phone was things weren't gonna be This was bullshit, It's nothing.

But when Jay came home it was opposite.

So it was with j Dahn a conversation with what did say.

Jay was on some yo, I don't know what's going on, but fix it, and Dame was on some All right, I'm on it.

Don't worry.

By the time you get home, shit gonna be right.

And Jay got home and Niggas stood ten toes down on it and jack hammer and no, that's okay.

So that's what did it.

Bro It drove the knife.

In my opinion, it split up a family.

We had a family of Harlem in Brooklyn together and because Niggas stood ten toes on that, it separated our family, right, and it became that side versus this side where Niggas fired all the employees that was from Brooklyn.

Remember it was only Harlem and employees and Rockefeller at the coming in of the day.

He took because everybody Dame fired Jay Hyatt, Lenny.

Speaker 2

Well, he didn't fire, Yeah, Lenny not from He took Colleen.

Yeap, he took all the crew.

Bottom line is that, man, I'm with you.

Speaker 1

Man.

I was like, yo, what the fuck is going on?

And that's when I just thought didn't like me no more.

Speaker 2

No, everybody was so tenseive bleek Beans's crew, you know, for.

Speaker 1

Like Beans, and I always felt like them like me, I ain't gonna lie.

I never said it, but I said to you because we family, and I just put it, brushed it off like maybe I'm bugging.

I ain't gonna look too.

But I always felt they properly played both sides of the fence with that.

Really, yes, all of them.

I always felt that because niggas will be over here with us fuck niggas, then you ain't hear niggas albums and niggas is on it so and niggas never like and I felt like, if it wasn't nothing, then you should have been more vocal on trying to piece it up.

That's what you You ain't all of us me, I didn't know what my place was.

I knew I want to tell Joj fix it.

But yeah, nobody was no.

It was only me in you that me from our side from side and you from their side.

That's it.

They would never be broke.

Good every yo, because I got the money, Jay got the mouth.

They're gonna hate Dable.

Everybody was looking at me.

Everybody was looking at me like bleak fuck out my face with that shit you talking about Nigga.

Dame said, we gonna be millionaires.

You don't hear this shit.

And I used to be looking at niggas like it takes time.

Okay, you think Nigga's gonna find the million and give it to you.

Cool if that's what you believe.

You believe that because I know I ain't giving no I find the millions.

I'm not giving it to none of my homies.

We can live together.

I use some brad and I'm not giving you the million, then me go find my million.

Fuck No, it don't work that way, bro like.

And I used to tell niggas that Nigga's gonna give you something they're not.

Remember Dame retired, told niggas they gonna retire like home when we was in the garden.

Anybody retired like that.

When I said, none of us is fucking gonna retire like that.

Dame looked at me like, Bleak, you ain't with the team.

No, I just was with fucking reality.

None of us was that lick.

That's it, yo, it's hot.

Speaker 2

You're talking my money, hot.

Speaker 1

My nigga.

No, nobody ain't in no position to throw no fucking walk away concert in the Apollo, let alone the garden, the rich people with the rich people where Jay, Dang and Big that's it.

That's it, bro, Like everybody else was just getting bine.

Man.

That's what we got.

Speaker 2

Eight niggas on his team who from the hood surviving.

Speaker 1

Bean's got his peoples.

He got to take care of them.

He got to make sure they okay.

And so Bleak, you're absolutely right, man, Yo, I'm telling you mamas.

That was only me and Bleak really was like, yo, yo, what the fuck is going on?

Yo?

How can we fix this ship?

Bro?

Yo?

Listen the day Lenny has called me and told me, Yo, Bleak, I got to go to Philly, man, I gotta take niggas they release papers and ship, yo, bro.

I couldn't believe it.

It felt like my world ended that I remember that day.

I don't know, I remember that day.

You know I got my release papers.

Speaker 2

To your Jenuel Morocca.

Speaker 1

No more nothing.

Speaker 2

Oh you got the official release.

Speaker 1

Yes, the whole Rockefeller was gone.

That's why when Jay said the song I don't get dropped, I dropped the label like hold on, dog, you're dissing me too, my nigga, I fucked with you.

Why are you gonna shoot on me?

Dog?

I was in that Blendok, yeah, nigga the whole day I gott I was devastated, bro.

That's why I never dropped another album, because my thing was I was raised in a system, and I was comfortable in a system, and I never wanted to learn another system that it was like fucking and that's how I was a Rockefeller.

I'm gonna live in my carriage is gonna die, and that's how I'm there.

That's it.

That's like dang like Bobby Dash Carleen chaka Dara, only.

Speaker 2

Like dressed fresh everything you kidding me?

Feeling good.

Speaker 1

It was a good situation, man, yo.

Bro.

It felt like going to Rockefeller from from the build, from the office on what West Street in the village somewhere.

Then we went to Varick, then we went to fiftieth Street, Bro.

Every single office felt like family, and it felt like the family was growing and getting bigger and getting bigger.

And then we got dipset.

It felt like, yeah, the family, we really were going.

Now we got mop philly everything like yo, Bro.

And then niggas just got drunk with power and ego and cult and just admit their wrongs.

That's my opinion, bro.

And now it took thirty years for Nigga to say, Yo, I was wilding.

That's a slap.

He think Camp slapped him in the face with what he said.

That's a slap in the face that every fucking artist that was.

Speaker 3

On Rockefeller Because I heard like you got some money saved up.

I was fucked up, money saved up?

No, no, well this is what you're not hearing.

Speaker 1

Listen, it looked good.

Shit.

I'm from the Projects, bro.

Number One thing a project nigga know how to do is get fly.

You ain't gonna never know if Nigga and the Projects fucked up.

If you know, a nigga and the projete fucked us because he getting high.

But if he if he's sane and focused a parents, you will never know what's in that man bag bank account, not a Brooklyn, let me refuse.

Speaker 3

You wasn't You wasn't fucked up, but you wasn't what I thought.

I was like, Yo, what but Blie, I'm gonna keep it up until you schooled me.

I thought, bleak good jay God, he said, ya, you're fucking crazy.

Speaker 1

He do.

But I don't go there.

That's what I'm saying.

You didn't go to here.

Yeah, I don't go there for that.

I have kids, big face.

Like if I was a single, if I was out here just winging it, no kids and fuck it, who knows where my pride would be?

Right?

But the man that I was raised to beat and come up in the principles that they taught me from them bigs dang j b high ta.

We haven't seen them niggas asks anybody for help.

The niggas created a wave on their own because they don't act.

So how to fuck cold a nigga like me do it and sit b wait, Come on, my nigga, this is real life, bro.

Them kids need pamps and food every day.

All your kids out of minds, out of it.

But yeah, but my nigga much hard nigga.

My daughter just told me she want to do karate, gymnastics, valet and volley balls.

I'm looking at her like I'm about to move back to the project.

You can do all that ship in front of the building.

Speaker 2

That's what that's the costs.

Speaker 1

That costs, that costs.

That's what we made up.

Yeah, do that ship right in front of the building.

You ain't gotta go nowhere.

But because of you, you're gonna fight.

Speaker 2

You're gonna find a way, and you're gonna pay for the ship.

Speaker 1

That's so fast.

What we do, that's that's what a parent does.

That's what a man does.

You do.

We here to be a provider.

I just had this conversation with my son, like probably a year ago.

The nigga would sleep on the couch and I'm like, Yo, you better enjoy It's two o'clock in the afternoon.

You sleep in.

Life is fucking great.

Enjoy it because this one time you start making money, you gotta make money to you die.

You're the provider, nigga.

Remember that you're the man.

There is no couch to go to and lay on.

So when Mimi done with it and you decide to be like this, my lady, you're the provider.

She can help.

You're the provider, and that's a man's job.

It's not to be sitting there and watch your man get money.

To be like, oh my man came up, he gonna hold me down.

That's some fucking You might as well gap get on a fucking poll if you're thinking that, not to make you fuck out of here, man, not to make your fucking laugh.

So I moved on and I said, fuck this ship.

I took time and time, and I know the podcast game.

You get better.

I'm learning from stuff that he taught me, and I know that I got a personality that's right, that's right, and they can't.

They can't duplicate it either.

You.

Speaker 2

I used to get mad, Why niggas ain't calling me for deal?

I'm a big face.

You ain't got no so my nigga, I'm not a revolte no no, But I thought you were.

No, I'm not gonna sit here, locky.

I thought you hell fucking no.

Hopefully you speaking of in two existence?

Speaker 2

Your system, is right, because Cam built the ship up force.

Speaker 1

Yes, you gotta build the foot and then you gotta look at who's sitting there, bro, you big face.

Yes, We're never gonna take nothing away from that.

It's fucking cam Run and Mace Man.

Right.

People forget how much people love you, and I was one of them.

I had no clue.

Bro, I'm in the crib.

You start, you start reading the hate comments more than the love cont so it sticks out more Like I remember a time looking at my Twitter and I could see, Man, Memphis, Bleak ain't shit more than I could see Yo.

That shit you did was dope.

The hate stood out more than me.

And Benk called me and was like, Yo, Bro, I thank you for doing the interview.

You got more than me, I don't.

Speaker 1

I don't care about money.

No, I don't think you do it.

I don't care.

Money don't make you happier.

I don't care.

I think I was the happiest in life when I was broke.

I have more money on the Hard Knocked Life Tour than the Liquid Sprikee Tour, and I was.

I was kicked up by the Sprikee Toy Hard Knocked Life Tour.

I couldn't even without predem Sprie Toy you was good.

So then now that I'm not drinking, I'm looking at God, look at how you grew up to kids and you ten businesses and I got thirty thousand suscribers, but you got a hundred no great, great, thirty thousand year Yo.

I ain't gonna say no name.

I went and checked because thirty thousand, like I was gonna say before.

Before I started this, I thought I needed a co host because I felt like, you know, I'm an artist.

Shit, I don't.

I don't do this journalist shit.

I'm gonna highlight a few journalists and you know, I reached out to a couple of people and they shot me down, like nah, bleak, I don't to do the show with you.

Word out or God.

I ain't gonna say no names because it's all good.

I wish him the best, look, but I go check what they into.

Niggas got fifteen thousand subscribers.

Twelve thousand, so you said you had thirty.

You're doing better than niggas team put it like this, You're doing better than some niggas who got a degree for this ship.

All right, thanks, remember that.

I gotta say.

I gotta say this.

Mad blocks got nick nick got brothers on the block with nicknames.

Big Face Guy was named by Bob, who was killed in the three.

I have a nickname.

It means something because they're crazy Biggs and Dame tell ya thank you again.

That means a lot, yo, Bro, you you a lot, a lot of I'm a peacemaker and I just want to say to you, right, you probably thought niggas ain't like Yeah, niggas ain't fuck with you because you was definitely the voice of dang like you was dumb yo.

Dame ain't like some yo damn yo yo blea Nigga.

I gotta tell you, Dame said them fucking beats on them last three records, and you better telles Blade go back to the drawing board.

Kanye better give you something.

What the fun?

Speaker 3

You know how it feels to tell a guy who his ron blood hot smoked about a pound of weed and you gotta tell him.

Speaker 1

That versus hard word up.

I don't think it's horrible.

I would have told him the CEO of the company, yeah said yeah, I hate to say.

He is the boss.

That's right.

He was a boss everybody, that's right.

He was the boss and he used to be on me like, Yo, you gotta I know.

Speaker 3

He's hard on Bleak because everybody knows Jay and Bleak are like this, and Jay's Bleaker is like his nephew, his son, his he gloved, yo.

Speaker 2

You know, so he took He thinks Jay saw Dave wasn't having that ship.

Speaker 1

Yo.

You know.

I found out something later in my career about Dang that I never even knew when we was together, Like I found out during the breakup, and it made me like, damn, Dang really really fucked with me because in my whole career, Clue is my brother.

I have nothing against Clue, right, but I felt I always felt like with Clue in my face, Clue showed the most love when I'm not there.

Kluo always gave me the vibe he don't fuck with me, Clu, don't play my music, clut on, you know what I mean.

I only was on the mix tape.

I was only on the mix tape with Jay invited me.

I'm on the song with j you know what I mean.

Or I'm on some shit with Beans like Clue never really embraced me being a part of Rockefell always fire.

I could be wrong.

I don't know.

You know what I mean.

But I found out something later that made me understand maybe why Clue was like that.

Somebody told me that Dame on my first album, that clue that I would do more numbers than Fat first album me too, shout out the Fat.

I would never compare us.

Yes, he had a way better credit me.

He's still with it right, But just for Dame to even bet that on me, I was like, Damn, they ain't really really fucked with me.

Like so those type of stories and the things I know what he did for me and who he was, regardless of the arguments we had on the jet, in the studios, at video shoots, at the movie shoots, at State property too, Yo, I got can name all the arguments I had with Dame.

When you get frustrated, I ain't got to do Yeah, I ain't got to deal with you.

Bleek that nigga.

I still got respect for Dame.

The only time I could say Dame hurt my feelings where I was like, damn, dog, that was a low blow my nigga.

We was at the Change Clothes video shoot and we had an argument, and that nigga was like, man, you talking like you don't want to be here if you don't want to be here, Nigga, I drop you tonight.

Like what, nigga, you ain't got that power?

What he need to go with it?

Yeah, it was like but for him to even say that to me was like, hey, car, you want to meet me in the alley.

That's all.

That's all I I God, damn, That's all I knew was rocket full I take a blood test, rocket fuller coming out of my blood.

I don't know nothing else.

That's a fact, bro.

So that was tery you.

They brought you on as an an R and you had a tough role or tough position, but you was very important.

Bro.

I just want you to know that because I never got a chance to tell you that a lot of raps, a lot of rhymes, a lot of songs, a lot of features with me and beans wouldn't have been what they were if you wouldn't have said what they sent you to say.

It was hard to bleed.

Speaker 2

I don't think I like hurt feelings.

Speaker 1

You know what I'm saying.

But you want me to go tell the nigger man, I told you what the but that that that breeds and you know who's a real warrior and who a real soldier when they can take the insult and turn it around and make it.
