Yeah, look, the lawsuit thing,
I thought that was to make sure that that didn't happen.
Wait, you talking about the Drake lawsuit suit?
Yeah, to make sure what didn't happen?
That that song didn't come out.
Big Boy's Neighborhood.
All righty now,
50 Cent.
Welcome back to the neighborhood, man.
I'm here.
I don't know why every time you come to the neighborhood,
I still get nervous,
you know what I'm saying?
Because, like, like, I'm.
I'm involved.
Somewhat, Somewhat In corporate America.
No.
No matter what I build with his Big Boy empire,
you know what I'm saying?
You're involved with corporate America, but your involvement is different.
You know what I'm saying?
You don't get paid every two weeks.
No, I do.
You know what I'm saying?
Before we do anything, man, congratulations on the residency.
Hey, bro, that residency says
50 Cent presents.
Yeah, yeah, that's cool.
That's good.
Very cool.
Hell, yeah.
What's the name?
You know, like, for.
And I only do six shows.
Yeah, you know, I.
December 27th to
January 4th.
Yeah, so you got December 27th, 28th.
You're not on the 29th.
So 27th, 28th, 30, 31st,
January 3rd, and January 4th.
Six dates.
Yeah, man.
Rumored at 15 million, this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, man, but you know what?
Just.
Just watching
your last tour, bro.
Just watching that...
What.
What are we expecting in Vegas, bro?
Like the Final Lap tour, they said it did, like, 100 M's.
But it was beautiful.
Yeah, yeah.
Vegas is different, you know?
Like, you can.
Production wise,
you can do things you can't do when you're moving the set.
Right, right, right.
So do you just leave it there?
Pretty much.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's.
Cause it's just built for that room.
So I can do things that I couldn't do.
Like on a stage that doesn't, like, have holes in the floor.
Things that, like, I come in and out of it.
Hey, man, are you doing any magic there?
I'm trying to do some things...
that'd.
Be dope if you had, like, a tuxedo on.
And you really did, like, magic.
Oh, the magic stick.
Yeah, yeah,
because I saw when you did the whole pulling the jerseys off...
But I'm telling you, man, that final.
I was like, dude, that was a tour.
I was trying to.
You know, the showmanship.
Hey, man, do you.
Do you remember when.
When residencies used to mean
something different?
Yeah, you mean
like the graveyard?
Yeah, like, it did feel like that.
And then, like, when.
Not now, though.
No, no, no, no.
I'll take that for the end of the year.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
And then I'll go back to everything else the way it was.
Like, this is the.
For me, big.
Like that.
I had that.
That same thought process
around the idea of the residency.
But not now, though.
Yeah.
Because that.
That's been far removed now.
Yeah.
That meant you was.
Didn't.
Couldn't take the wear and tear of touring.
Yeah.
And that was the goodbyes, too, and you know what I'm saying?
And then you did start seeing great shows there,
bro.
Yeah.
I mean, Vegas, they've.
They've always been able to accent, like, the world follows Vegas, right?
Like, Dubai is that Qatar.
All these places,
they're in the middle of these deserts that turn into these
beautiful places that everybody want to go,
go to.
They following the Vegas.
Hey, man, that's a hell of a way to end out 2024,
though.
Yeah, that's cool.
Look, the December 10th, I got
my FAST channel on Roku.
Yeah.
So talk to me about that as well, too, man.
Yeah, that's exciting because I'm able to.
I partnered with Lionsgate, so I got like
1800 hours of content that I can run through the fast channel.
So it's not gonna be like
the same old stuff over and over and stuff like that.
That's exciting.
So I get a chance to do programming, like, have a real channel.
Hey, man, you know what's wild about that, bro,
is...
you still
get these great...
deals.
And they're deals that you create.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, and we always said this, man.
And I say this in and out of your presence.
Like,
people weren't watching Starz really until,
you know.
Until
you know what I'm saying?
Starz was like a package.
It was included in your package, and I was.
And I had to get them to spend 11.99 to go
to watch that.
Yeah.
at that Point.
And then when you go
now, like, the FAST challenge is free tv,
so it's a lot easier.
So what would you have on there?
I got.
Well, I got Kill Bills.
both
the Expendables, the.
I got
Hacksaw, Hacksaw Ridge.
So these are channels and you're taking other material as well?
Yeah, yeah.
Because this.
I'll be inserting original material.
Oh, yeah.
And in the original material,
do I need to be scared of any of this original material?
Okay.
Yeah, you said documentaries, you know, like,
I put like.
Like Rambo's on there.
The First Blood.
Because real actions, if you're an action fan, you're going like
everything that you see on this channel, like it's gonna be one of your go to.
Did you watch the Mike Tyson fight?
I did.
Man.
What did you think about.
I did, yeah.
What did you think about the whole lead up?
I really didn't understand the bite the glove thing like that was going.
But, you know, Tyson was good for that too, though.
I think he was like
stopping himself from really hurting him.
Oh, you so you.
You with that.
That he was.
He was pulling back.
I don't know Fif.
Because I saw at the end he looked tired...
Yeah, it looked like it could have went down,
though.
You get older Big.
You know how you get a little older.
Right, right, right.
This is about the beautiful things in life if you can get older.
Right, right.
Yeah.
And walk away with that bread too.
So you think he held back?
Really?
And did you know that from the beginning or once you start watching it,
Yeah, he could have won that fight
even before.
Did you.
Would you have put.
If you were a betting man, would you have put money on,
you know what Tyson going in?
Because I'm not a betting man, but I thought Tyson was gonna get it.
I lived through a Mike Tyson era where...
there wasn't a man that he didn't.
He convinced the world that there wasn't a man that competed.
That's the difference between him and a lot of other champions.
Like everybody that was in the litter
of top fighters at that point, he would just take them.
Yeah.
And sometimes he fight two, three times a year too, though.
You saw the Jazzy interview that he did with Lil Jazzy?
Yeah, yeah.
I was like.
I think Jazzy just turned like 13 or 14.
I talked to her pops too, man...
My man, he dropped some real life on Lil Jazzy,
man.
She handled that so well, though.
She was like, that's interesting.
Ever answered that question like that?
You know, you just dust and you.
like.
Yeah, man.
Mike is 40 kids.
My man was like, you know, I give a F about.
I'm like, legacies just work.
They just made up.
Yeah, legacies are worries is made.
She like.
Hm.
Interesting.
I've never heard that before.
Do you know Jazzy?
Yeah, yeah.
She cool as hell before.
Cuz
you can't really walk away from her.
She got one of those things that
like, you see her, she's trying to interview you,
you walk away from her, something's wrong with you.
I got you.
I think that you need to search yourself Internally,
when you walk away from that girl, like, she's.
Yeah, man.
She's got her stuff together and already doing it,
babe.
Like, go ahead at that.
In the early stages, you run into her, and you're like, oh,
okay.
No,
I feel like I'm doing something wrong if I walk away while
she's trying to talk to me.
Right, right.
And now she's seasoned, though.
She get everybody.
Sometimes I just want to tag along with.
To get some interviews, you know what I'm saying?
Are you still doing the Eminem movie?
Yeah, well, we working on the television.
Oh, yeah, yeah, the television.
How's that coming along?
It's going pretty good.
Like,
it gets.
We get difficult at points because they're so used to
an entire.
Having the entire control
of projects.
Like, EM.
Em's System is a real system, bro.
So, like, when you.
When you got to deal with the networks
and other.
Other forces involved, that get a little, you know.
Hey, man, he had a great year, too.
New music and everything...
Are you talking about new music for yourself?
Fif, I got a few things.
Well, I got a piece coming out with
Snoop
and Em on.
On Snoop's new album.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
Hey, man, that.
That album is amazing.
Dope.
Hey, dude.
And that's when you get the dynamic duo back together,
too.
Like.
Like, Snoop is already
Dre is already amazing.
But when you put that and.
Yeah, that and is this...
world Snoop.
Snoop's, like, talent, bro.
Like, he's been that.
I'm a fan.
I'm not even, like.
Like,
I'm that first. This is why you seen him on Pimp immediately.
Guy and different things that I.
I'm just. I'm listening to him
and Dre before it even...
any.
Before I can.
Before you any Get a track from him.
You know what I'm saying?
So it was like.
That was, like, it's an honor to kind of work with him.
And he didn't stop.
Like, he's the only one that takes a whole
Like, he takes a whole Persona.
Like, he went.
The whole Snoop lion phase.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, he shifts his whole.
His whole show around.
Like, when he was a pimp for, like.
Yes.
Yeah.
Bishop Don Magic wand.
Yeah.
The Snoop lion thing.
And then the, like, was it Redemption?
He did a play.
You know what I'm saying?
And then watching Dog on.
You know, on the Olympics, like, really doing that.
That was great.
The Olympics was crazy.
Ye.
Did you go over?
I didn't go.
But it felt like it was the Snoop show.
Yeah, it kept popping up everywhere.
It felt like it.
It felt like
the bigger.
You know how you go places and you see Flavor Flav everywhere.
Now you see Flavor Flav getting kicked out of Backstreet Boys.
out of their
dressing room or something.
When.
Yeah, the tree lighting ceremony.
But like, yeah, Snoop is everywhere that you turn around,
like, but invited.
And
when you saw the Olympics, you.
Were like, dude, no, it was cool.
He.
He had more people watching the Olympics that ever watched.
I wasn't even interested in a lot of the things in it.
I was like, oh, what is Snoop on that?
Like that.
Cuz I'm just flashing through
at different points in the Olympics, certain parts of the Olympics that
don't really have me excited.
Right.
But he made it exciting too, though, bro.
He was at, like, archery, and you know what I'm saying?
Had hor
into that.
Into archery.
Oh, yeah, Yeah.
I did archery with Dre at the house.
Know what I'm saying?
That's some different kind of
tax bracket stuff, though.
No noise.
When you just feel a sharp pain in your.
You like sharp pain in your back, you know you're in the wrong place...
You wasn't supposed to be in that yard.
That's the way to get a...
I know archery.
Yeah.
Just get your ass.
I know mma.
I know archery.
Just pop your ass, man.
Are you going back to Shreveport next year?
Why you didn't invite me out to that?
You should have been there.
I know I should have been there.
That's why the F.
I'm asking you why you didn't invite me there.
Okay.
Next year.
We set it up.
You could have set it up the wrong way.
Just set it up.
I would have been there.
It only was 90 days
preparation for that.
It was super fast.
Nobody thought it was
actually possible.
Like,
I was getting more of why we can't do it than why we can.
And I was paying for it.
I put up, like, my $5 million...
to do that.
Why was that necessary?
To go to Shreveport and do that and.
And take care, you know?
I mean, a lot of people got.
Were hired out.
You know, people thanked you for coming.
Well, yeah, almost everybody did.
They had so many false promises
in Shreveport.
Like people saying they're gonna come and do different things
that I was like,
I had to do something now to make them understand.
but my full intentions are, you know, so I put the mahomedy thing together,
and then I want to thank everybody who did come because
they made the excitement right.
You know what I mean?
And it turned out to, like, 35, 000 people who showed up out there.
And then
it turned into.
Yeah, I was real anti, bro.
Yeah, I was anti.
When I saw I wasn't involved with it, I didn't throw no salt,
but I was just like, wow.
I like, this is what you gonna do, huh?
Who came in here was talking about, was it Lyfe Jennings?
Oh, no.
Yeah.
It was juvenile or Life Jennings.
What?
He was there.
Lyfe was talking about how he built the whole city.
Oh, yeah.
There was no city, but he built
everything.
It was like, yo.
it's good to know.
It's good to know, man.
You've done the Super Bowl.
What do you anticipate for Kendrick next year for the Super Bowl?
Ah, man, be excited, man.
I think, look, it's the biggest live sport event.
I think the only thing that you could do bigger than that is the World Cup.
Like the
outside of the super bowl, nothing is bigger.
You know what I mean?
What was that like for you just being a part of a halftime show when y'all did it?
It was
for me to be in the company I was in also.
Like, it's Dre, it's Snoop, it's
Mary, it's Kendrick, Em, you know what I mean?
Like, for him to get
another go around, like, for him to come back.
Yeah, man.
It's just saying that he's the now.
Like, it's just right now.
Hey, man, what did you feel about the.
Cause you've been involved, you know what I'm saying?
With Beefs, you know what I'm saying?
When you heard Drake
and the Kendrick thing,
when you first heard.
And you hear the bumblings,
it's like a little tennis match you heard a little bit,
and then, Like That comes, you know, with Future,
with Metro and Kendrick on that verse.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Did you think that
it's about to get set off right here,
or were you surprised that Drake came back and said anything?
Or you knew.
Nah, it was cool.
I felt like they would be competitive...
You know what I'm saying?
And it was a good period
for hip hop in general because they produce
better material faster.
It forced them to work.
That's what I said, too.
I was like, man, if these.
I don't want to hear no more of my album coming out next year.
I dropped nine songs in two days.
Yeah.
Because it felt like Kendrick was like.
Like not
responding fast.
Right.
That's what it felt like to Me?
Yeah.
Like, at first came, and he came again,
and it was like another joint.
It was like, damn.
I was like, damn.
Okay.
And then Kendrick came.
He had a whole cd.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like that meme when you go and then five songs later.
That was crazy.
When you first hear Not Like Us, what do you think about that?
I think LA is different.
I think LA culture, the west coast, is
very territorial.
I think that energy,
when you can build the camaraderie within them,
that you'll feel something here that you won't feel anyplace else.
Hey, like, that's.
If the east coast is not like that, right?
Like, not.
They're not like us.
That energy, Right?..
Look, the lawsuit thing,
I thought that was to make sure that that didn't happen.
Wait, you talking about the Drake lawsuit suit?
Yeah, to make sure what didn't happen?
That that song didn't come on.
Yeah.
For Super Bowl.
See, look.
Sue.
Sue Apple, Right?
Sue Universal, right?
And then have your attorneys contact NFL corporate and say,
look, we don't want you guys to
involve yourself in this...
This nasty lawsuit that's going on.
And you guys are the biggest live sporting event.
Don't put yourself in a situation where you're a part of the damages
because you can't
put it on.
Yeah, that's the way the lawyer said.
It seems like because they're a little more combative,
you want to let your publicist talk for you.
When you're in situations like even...
the Jay thing, you could tell the lawyer wrote that
statement instead of
the publicist because he was being a little combative.
All right, this what I'm going to do, man, because...
we going here now.
One time you came In, I did...
50 Cent's, 2 cents.
All right?
And I'm just going to ask you some things,
and I just want to hear your two cents on them.
You know what I'm saying?
And I know you don't have a tail to tuck because
you talk so much.
I get nervous when you come in.
I love you as a guest,
but you do scare the F out of me when you come here,
too.
Like, it was that Basquiat.
Did you catch me on that?
When you said, yeah, he looked like the gay homie?
I don't know what you're talking about.
If you.
If you look at the clip, I'm like, okay, okay,
what are we talking about here?
And then I look, alrighty, so this is 50 Cent's two cents.
Alrighty, let's start with.
Let's start.
You're going into the Jay Z thing.
So recently we just saw.
Which I.
Yeah, yeah.
Man, I can't.
We look at the accusations, you know, and we gonna get to Diddy as well.
But you look at the accusations
and there's an accusation about Jay Z and Diddy and a teenager.
13 year old teenager.
And we were speaking about just the statement.
Right, the statement.
You were saying you felt like that was calculated.
That was.
Yeah, that
the statement is something from.
You can tell it was written by a lawyer...
because there's a point where it kind of gets aggressive.
He's like.
He says, like, you're gonna find out, like,
how I'll handle this.
And that's
an attorney want to be combative with another attorney.
That's not.
Like your publicist wouldn't say those things.
When you see things like this Fif.
And there's times when like,
I saw this.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And this is on your.
Who put that up?
Yeah, this is on.
Yeah, it says, I don't know what's going on,
but are we still gonna have the Super Bowl?
I'm just asking for a friend.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm asking for Kendrick.
You know,
I'm just trying to figure out if we're still doing everything the way.
Because, look, they will fall back, but
like the NFL,
they won't necessarily
be associated to that.
Right.
Why
do you
not insert yourself?
But you're on top of every topic, right?
I'm just watching.
I'm participating.
I'm being part of culture.
I'm just telling my opinion.
Right, right, right.
Because you're part of the culture.
Like, I can't say anything now.
I'm out of it.
I'm not gonna.
I'm going to Dre's studio and just sit with Dre a little bit.
Right.
And then, you know, maybe I stay out of trouble.
Nah, nah.
But you told us before, you said, you know,
sometimes you'll say things because you're being bullied...
You know, we say, oh, bully and oh, petty.
When that happens?
As soon as that happens.
You know what happens in my timeline, Big?
Oh, yeah, you think it's funny?
You're next, buddy.
Like, I'm like, oh, shoot.
So you feel bullied?
Yes, I'm being pushed around here.
Hey, man,
do you see any of the comments where people like,
yeah, when that drop.
This is the first place I came.
Yeah, yeah.
I knew they was coming there big.
Like, I put up a ad.
You know, that's the least thing that people like.
Right, right.
When you got professional pictures that don't have flaws in them.
They don't want to see that.
They want to see your actual lifestyle.
Right.
So I put a professional picture like this.
Leave me alone, people,
because I know you're looking for what I'm gonna say.
And then I put the next picture up and say,
50 Cent Action TV.
Don't come to my page looking for trouble.
Right.
Right?
Marketing genius.
So 50's 2 cents.
What.
What do you feel about just that whole thing,
man?
Look, look, as much as people feel like I don't.
Like, I haven't had issues with.
With Puff or, I don't like him like that.
Like, I don't like things
So speaking on Diddy, we speaking on Puff.
that he would do...
Yeah.
And make me uncomfortable. Right.
If it was on the street side like that,
we would be actively doing things to each other.
Right?
And we wasn't doing that.
Right.
So
they get.
It gets to.
With Jay, definitely not that.
That's definitely not.
It's just being competitive.
You know what I mean?
I don't.
I look at it.
I go, whoa.
So
I always go into.
What would I do in a situation like this?
Like, when that type of thing happens?
Like.
And I'm going.
I don't know.
I just. I hope things are all right for him.
Internally
speaking on.
I mean, at the crib, because in the statement,
they mentioned this.
Oh, you talking about Jay.
His daughter would, you know, being old enough to.
Cause she
about 13.
So it's the same age as his kids.
When you saying he did
something,
do you ever feel.
Like, man, like,
there's just so much gotcha that goes on?
Yeah.
Look, right now, we live in a climate that
is not even.
What you did is what they said you did.
Right.
So it's like
the damage is already done by the allegation itself.
Like, so...
if that.
Like, when they say extortion, that means
if they've made an amount
Big, if they talk settlement
or sent settlement notices that had an amount in it,
it feels like extortion.
Because you know the damage it does if it does come out publicly,
if.
If there's no amount
mentioned,
and then that's just a tactic.
But you will meet people in court, and you will do lawsuits yourself,
which I love.
Yeah.
You'd be like, man, I get into it...
I spend a million dollars a year for.
I keep Legal counsel year round.
So I'm.
No,
I'm gonna sue you as often as you think you would sue me.
Like that.
Because it'll look.
And they said once you got the package, you become a target for the attorneys.
You know, who's gonna benefit the most from
Puffy situation right now?
The lawyers.
They all look for 7,000, $5,000 per hour...
Four lawyers, five lawyers at a time,
just to come back for bail hearings and stuff like that.
We spent a lot of money.
Do you think Puff is cooked?
I'm not sure if he's cooked.
I'm not sure how bad that
it is when you.
Because you know what?
When we think
of all of those different allegations that come.
They pile up...
He's cooked.
But I don't know how much of that turns into actually
like what he's up against.
Right.
The court of public opinion is one thing.
And then they also say, you know, once we get in, then,
you know.
Yeah.
I mean, that public opinion.
He's washed.
Yeah.
They washed him right there.
But when you think about
it had a lot to do with the
him
coming out.
Say, I've been sitting here watching you people
insult my character, this and that.
And then the tape comes out.
Boom.
So, you know, if the...
If the government...
released the tape,
then it would say that they kind of poisoned the pool of people.
And
that could be a defense.
Do you believe in conspiracies like that too?
Or could.
It could
I don't know if it's a conspiracy.
Big.
I mean, like when someone leaks something, it goes to tmz.
Like the regular person that channels with tmz,
when you see something come on
and comes on cnn,
that's a little different.
That could have came from the government...
itself, like, you know.
and this.
And it's interesting because he had different problems with
people on different levels, like the Diageo.
And when he's saying that they.
They're racist because they didn't.
They was doing something different with his brand.
Like these people.
These are three billion dollar company.
These people have.
They have lobbyists
in D.C.
if they want to turn it on, it could turn on,
you know, and then they benefited
probably the most from those parties.
Are you ever concerned with that?
What with.
With you being as big as you are.
That's something.
Well, I'm not suing them.
Right, right, right.
You know, I'm not.
going after them.
You're like, no Big, but you're attached to a lot of brands,
a lot of big Brands, Right.
Yeah.
Well, my.
Those are mines.
You know, until you take a.
No, that's a difference.
Like, we just saw.
We just saw Connor McGregor get dropped from his whiskey company...
Which I thought was his.
I thought Ciroc was Diddy's.
Yeah, yeah, same here.
They.
He was getting paid a lot of money, Big.
A lot of money.
Yeah.
What is this on the table right here?
Ah, press.
I can't get dropped from him.
Hey, do you drink?
You know, I did.
Look, look.
I taste things.
Right, Right, right, right, right, right.
I don't give success.
Right, right.
I don't.
You know,
when you go run for President and they said,
I smoke, but I didn't inhale.
Right, right, right, right, right.
You're like, I taste it.
Yeah,
man.
Back to 50s 2 cent.
The entire
Kendrick and Drake beef.
We were.
We were talking.
We were talking about that.
And like I said, you've been in.
You've been in, you know, beefs for, like,
decades.
You know what I'm saying?
What do you feel about that entire
beat?
I thought it was good, man.
Look, when you.
I've engaged and always involved myself in those situations big,
and I think it always
made bigger excitement in our culture.
Like, that type of thing would make
a person buy the record twice.
It would make, you know, like, so.
You know how to.
You know how to use it.
Yeah, right.
Like, even me and Kanye, like, we didn't have issues,
but we were standing there like we was in a fight pole.
For the pitcher.
You know what I mean?
And that was the week.
The first sales week.
And both of y'all sold.
At the end of the day, Big, you're going.
I could have went on tour with him if I went to Combat.
That went right?
Because I had so many records that were hit records at that point
that I would have smacked.
He only had that album, right.
What do you think...
this is with Drake
and Kendrick?
No, I think it's a point where you.
You win repeatedly to the audience and
even the artist community is going, if you win again, how I'ma have my chance
to win.
So they would rather
see Kendrick
in that slot, right.
Drake, you get out of here.
That's really the way it goes.
But, like, you look
what he's saying...
The system's done.
They've done it.
They're guilty of what he said they did.
Like, while I'm at Interscope, there are G Unit and G u not.
Not at the same time.
Right.
Gotcha.
Wow.
On the same system, Big.
The same person delivering the record, telling you to play.
50 Cent is delivering the record saying, play game.
And it's just business.
They're looking at it like his business is selling
the record.
But everything that they said that he did,
that they did for Kendrick is something they did for him.
What did you say to Drake, if you don't mind my asking?
Because you guys were somewhere and it looked like y'all
were having a conversation.
I said.
I said, they said you lost to Pusha T.
Hey, so what did you lose?
And he said, nothing.
So
I don't understand.
You see what I'm saying?
like, whenever you say
you lost something, he said, what exactly did you lose?
If you take a step back, there's nothing
lost.
There's nobody who's just a Drake fan that won't go out
to see his show right now.
Man.
We say that all the time.
So just to be active, you get out there, do your thing.
How do you feel about beef in general?
I like it.
Yeah, I know.
We can tell.
No, no.
I grew up under circumstances where it's not optional.
It's gonna happen.
You know what I'm saying?
And then you going, look,
battling has always been a part of hip hop culture.
If you're not competing, look,
that is the.
We.
We hit a spot where
business is so
present
that he looked at it and said, well, that's defamation of character,
because it's not true.
It's a false statement.
All right?
And I'm like,
you know how many false statements were in Battle Records?
Yeah.
What did you.
What did you feel about the lawsuit when you.
When you heard the lawsuit being announced?
I thought it was to combat the.
The Super Bowl.
Yeah.
Because that would reignite it Big.
Or make it.
The song, would make it exciting.
And months down the line, too.
But the suit itself, I don't think.
You think about it.
But when the lawsuit comes out, it
ignites the record.
It goes up.
I didn't realize that his album was coming.
Kendrick album was coming right when that lawsuit fell.
And it was like.
yeah, there we go.
Anyway, so
is it different when we look at hip hop as being competitive,
if there's a lawsuit there It's spiked up.
from a beef, though, you know what I'm saying?
Cause you beef with Fat Joe, Ja Rule, Busta.
Have you ever got a lawsuit?
No.
You always get...
other stuff, like
behind the scenes stuff.
You know what I mean?
But they're not
public.
Lawsuits and things like that.
Like, they've said they.
Oh, for me,
mine was so street orientated that you're a rat.
Yeah, we're.
That's defamation right there. Right, right.
But.
But then the judge that you would be in front of would look and say,
so you're like those criminals that I put away
because you feel offended by someone calling you a rat.
The traditional person.
they're not in that lifestyle.
Rat means
yes.
Right, right, right.
911.
Their defense to you hitting them over there.
You hit them.
Come get this.
Come.
Come get him.
Yeah.
Don't act like you didn't do it.
Like, there's no.
That is no ratting for them.
They're like, what?
You.
You better behave yourself.
Can you.
Can you understand from a business part and a bigger scheme what
this lawsuit is from Drake?
And then.
And this.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Because it does feel like the.
Like when you're in negotiations, it'll feel like their value went down.
Like,
not as hot as you was last week when everybody was excited
and same thing.
It feels different.
Like, you know, like
they saying you lost.
Like, you get a phone call even like, yo, yo,
you guys created the largest sales week in hip hop.
And I'm like, yeah, but I lost, right?
Get off my phone.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I get this call from Steve Bergman.
They run Interscope now, but they
like, at that point, and this is when.
You and you and Kanye were going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you gotta get the call.
You go, wait, what did you.
Man, get the fuck off my phone.
Because when you look at it with the sales with you and Kanye,
like, y'all went on this whole, who's gonna sell?
And that first week, Kanye did sell more.
But looking at the numbers, y'all won.
But you were like, nah.
From a consistent
a sales history,
I have the sales history.
Interscope didn't do everything Def Jam done...
for Kanye's number
to come back.
Like, that.
They assumed.
Because you
didn't do everything to protect Drake.
because they assume
Kendrick and this will be just like anything else that happens.
Do you understand?
Like,
they did everything he's saying they did in that lawsuit.
They did it.
So you feel like it's valid on that point.
Like, yeah, they did that.
I understand why you would do that if you was talking to a lawyer.
But like, in hip hop, right?
There's nothing to sue for.
There's nothing that I.
I didn't sue for that is.
Is anything off boundaries when it comes to
beef.
No, nothing's out of bounds?
What about going to their home city and putting on a full concert?
Like,
Kendrick's going to Toronto for two nights.
And it probably gonna be
lit,
right?
The shows are gonna probably be fucking lit.
Like, what do you think is gonna happen there?
Like, these.
The energy is.
You got people that like both of them, they're not gonna.
They're not gonna switch and just say, I don't like both.
These are the top artists in our culture right now.
Like, other new.
It's prime time.
Big.
The new.
Have you ever felt a certain way when you.
When you would beef with somebody, like, damn, this is a lot.
Or,
you know, what if.
Did you really buy Ja Rule's tickets?
Like, seats at his concert?
You did They were cheap tickets?
The tickets were very affordable, right.
They was on, like, StubHub.
Yeah, I bought the first four.
How many.
How many did you buy?
If you say you bought the first four rows, is that a couple hundred?
Yeah, it was cheap, though.
It was cheap tickets, so it was something to do.
If you
don't look at me like that.
All right, man, we done for years.
It's just.
I looked at it, I said, yo, this is.
I just want you to feel like you gotta reach the people.
They're like...
four or five rows back.
What, Fif.
What is this?
That two decades later,
it's still this?
No, I mean, it's not that big of a sacrifice for me.
I've bought things that don't mean that.
Mean less to me.
Right, right.
Oh, my gosh,
that was fun.
That was, like, watching it.
Let me see the show and see that those spaces are empty
because
they are reserved for someone else.
They're not supposed to be sitting.
That's brutal.
That's so brutal, man.
Hey, man, Fat Joe in the World Series.
We just recently had Fat Joe in.
Yeah.
And Fat Joe came in, man, and first off, he said,
man, I'm wearing my ass kisser outfit.
He came in, like, a purple hoodie, some Laker gear.
Yeah.
With some.
But, you know, and Joe's my guy.
And at one point, you and Joe wasn't seeing eye to eye.
Yeah, yeah.
And he explained that, too, about, you know,
with Chris Lighty and you know what I'm saying,
like, you just see things that in due time,
grown men came together and y'all really, like, even Busta...
Like, and Bust went out with Final Lap.
Yeah, yeah.
But
it was at one time where you and Fat Joe, like, y'all weren't cool.
Yeah.
And it's Look,
Joe's the kind of guy that you want to be friends with.
He's like.
He's loyal to a default.
Right,
Right.
And at points, like, if it's not.
If that person's not.
If you don't have the connection with them,
you're going to just not like it because you're going to be like,
what's wrong with it?..
Like, you don't have an issue, but
it seems like you're uncomfortable association.
If a person's uncomfortable with your success,
then they shouldn't meaning it to you.
No.
Right.
And at that point, that's
what I was getting off him and that vibe.
So I'm just like, ah, n.
Like.
And, you know, I didn't, like, not
invite.
I didn't invite these situations, but I didn't
run away.
Yes.
So I would look and go, oh, so you want.
You.
You want a problem?
Is that what you want?
I was already in mode for that.
Like, I'm the.
Like the vehicles
bulletproof and bomb proof.
Everything.
And I'm like, well, I'm already geared
up for the whole thing.
So I was like.
It's like.
I'm like,
oh, you thought you was, like, different.
How can that happen with
Buster?
Fat Joe, is.
Is the gyro.
Is it deeper?
No, no.
It's the same thing that you see Drake experience.
How did he just have.
This is the op page.
He was just winning consistently more than everybody else in the culture.
And then these people start to turn into people that feel like they're ops
all over the page.
Big.
Cause they keep watching them win.
And then you go, I want this thing forever, man.
I'm not sure you'll have it forever, right?
Do you ever get, like, not scared or something like that,
but do you ever feel
like, man, I'm doing so well.
Do you ever feel like the high horse could be.
You could be knocked off the high horse?
You have to know when to pivot.
Right.
Like J.
Cole.
Well, I don't think J.
Cole got knocked off.
I think he got off the horse.
Yeah.
And that's the one thing I wanted to speak to
as well, man.
At one point, Fif you didn't agree
somewhat, and paraphrasing, or hopefully,
I'm not rewriting your history, but you didn't agree with how J.
Cole
got himself out of
the Drake and Kendrick thing.
Can you understand?
Because he's one of the top guys.
That's like the
competitive.
That.
The competitive advantage of it.
You want to see them compete a Little bit.
That's when we're going to find out who really got it.
When he decided, nah.
But I would have won the battle, but I would have lost a brother.
but you don't under.
Like, I don't know why I understood that.
No, no, no.
I understand the relationship.
Right, right.
But
I don't understand why
the competitive part in the art form, if y'all brothers like that,
then why wouldn't you compete?
Well, when you understand it, we're just competing.
Big.
Come on.
Like, so you're saying we could be so close.
We're brothers, right?
But I don't want no smoke with you.
What are you, like, my big brother?
That'll knock me the hell out in the house type of thing?
It's a different type of brotherly relationship.
Are you saying I'm not
gonna do this because I know you're gonna get me?
I don't think that's where Cole was coming from,
though.
I'm just saying to you,
that's the energy you feel when there's no competition.
Right?
Where I think Cole was coming from, Fif.
I think that it was when he said, like, it.
It messed with my peace 10 years, you know what I'm saying?
Like.
Like, why would I get down for you?
This is.
No, look,
this is the new sophisticated version of hip hop culture we're talking about,
right?
Kendrick has records like, sit down, be humble.
This, it's got a lot smarter,
right?
The music got smarter.
There was an area that was reserved for this in our culture the entire time.
It was like, called conscious rappers.
Common sense, Mos def, Talib Kwali...
It was Q Tip.
Yes, sir.
It was like these guys were there
in our culture and it was like early Boogie down...
Yes, yes, it was there.
But when you
at certain points where you.
You compete in that raw energy that you will see when...
you see artists cut through, like
your NBA youngboy or your dirks.
Yeah,
it's just so street orientated that they don't know Chief Keith.
I fell in love with Chief Keef when he first came because I was like,
yo, he don't know.
Like, they in.
Like, in his grandmother's living room.
Yeah,
that's that shit.
I don't like
nothing else but Chicago.
Like, that energy...
is just in the.
In them.
And
I went to work with him right away because of that,
you know what I mean?
Because I'm like, yo, nah.
And somebody gotta be able to say something to him so he
can know how big it could be,
right?
But
even with that man, like,
and not that I'm debating you on the whole Cole thing,
but I understood when.
He said, look,
if you think that Drake is damaged in any way at the present moment.
has Cole received the same damage for not competing?
You say, no, I don't think so.
And you say, so who do you think is a J.
Cole fan is not showing up because he didn't compete?
No one's gonna show up.
I mean, they all show up. The fans that show up.
I just thought.
I thought we would hear things special from him...
that made him
have additional energy towards it because he.
Look, first of all, when you get challenges,
if your opponent is a good opponent, then you get better.
When we put the best fighters in there, we don't say,
we don't want to watch this guy fight a cab driver.
Right?
Right.
Like you fighting Uber driver, bro.
I don't want to see that.
We want to see you fight somebody that could actually fight
you like the top guys.
And there's a.
That's the same competitive energy that we see in the culture.
So on the competitive side,
you think that Cole should have stayed in it?
Damn, that's crazy.
Fif.
Cause I totally disagree with you.
I'm glad you disagree.
And we can be friends, right?
Be able to take it first.
Take a disagreement as, like, cool, though.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want you to leave from here.
I'm just saying to you, my personal perception of it, right.
I would have liked it to see him engaged.
Yeah, you would have liked to see it.
You know what I'm saying?..
Cause I look, and I think that's why Cole as well.
And I haven't had a conversation with Cole,
but when somebody say my mental, it disturbed my peace.
I can understand, like, man.
And then plus, what?
It became
Big.
Look,
mentoring your piece is not a part of hip hop.
Go to.
Yes, it is.
Fif.
okay.
I'm just saying things are getting a little more sophisticated,
right?
All right, man,
we gonna have to agree to disagree.
I'm just saying to you, look my.
And then come back.
It hurts me, right?
It hurts me to feel like this
at the moment, because I'm like, how do you not not.
And look, I, I.
But how do I entertain you and sacrifice me Won the battle.
He said he would have won if, right?
Okay.
Yeah.
See, Kwest had a problem with that too.
I think you said it too.
Like,
why would you even say I would have won the battle?
That's just not in him, though.
As a J.
Cole fan, like, I was like, Yep.
That's the Cole I know when he stepped down.
Because he's not that guy.
And lyrically, I think he could have F'd with it, though.
I'm not saying.
Look, they would have had a time.
Yeah, I was looking forward to it, but I don't know.
I don't know,
like, what happened.
Like, I was like, yo, like, so you.
So even now that you've seen all the other records,
not like us, what it did.
You know what I'm saying?
Because this was early on.
So you still stand by.
Why did he get.
I still think he would have delivered something
that would have been interesting.
And then we would be kind of arguing which one was a better,
you know, piece.
So.
So I'm like, how do you just stop?
Like, it got real personal
with the J.
I mean, that's.
And Kendrick.
I get it, but I didn't know.
It was that close too.
The.
The J.
Cole and Kendrick was Gotcha, right?
Because they, like, you go.
I'm like, so
what you think was gonna happen?
Like, there was to not be.
I don't see them being confrontational or is spilling over into something
that's bad.
That's what made me more interested in what the music was gonna sound like.
Between.
Do you think that Kendrick could have did a not like us about
Cole?
Like, do you think it would've got that crazy...
if we would've been playing this tennis match?
Yeah, I think bars would have been in it.
Even if it could have still been not like us,
it just would have been bars.
That's hitting Cole at the same time.
You know what's wild about you, man, is that lyrically you can get in it.
but your beef's not just on, you know, wax.
Your beef aren't just on record.
Like,
you know how to take yours to social media,
you know, you buying tickets.
You know what I'm saying?
Like,
yours is just different.
No,
but look at how complex what they was doing in the battle was.
It was like the minivan from this video was in the thing and this.
It was mad intricate pieces going on.
Big, that I hadn't seen that before.
So I'm looking going down.
So they really thinking about this.
Look them.
See.
Let me say what.
I'm following stuff online.
So.
Yeah, man.
Occupied a lot longer
entertained by it a lot more.
And I think we did like nine or ten songs.
In a two month span.
That's when I was like, man, I don't want to hear no More of this.
My album is coming next year.
Or take you long to do an album like.
No,
you see what happens that the album does take to next year...
when that happens, the material comes that fast.
Like, and then there was loaded again.
Like, I'm...
Drake was loaded, ready to go again.
You think so or you know so?
Yes,
I know that they had new material ready to go again.
There's no way you stop
when you take in, like,
from.
And you losing Big, right?
No, no, I'm.
I gotta.
I gotta fix it.
Is there any battle that you felt like you've lost or wasn't as victorious?
Nah, I've had
the artists have things.
A moment.
Like they did something.
I was like, oh, that was good.
Right?
What are some of those?
Yeah, so.
So what did you see that you were like?
Oh, yeah, that was a good one right there.
In between time, like the.
What's the name?
The Jadakiss
He had put out some things on you.
Yeah.
While we was back.
And look, he could really rap, like, a certain part.
Look big.
Even if it was.
Even if the format didn't put it in a song
to make it feel like
it's a problem.
Right, Right.
What you said
landed like.
I heard it was like.
Oh,
yeah.
Was it Checkmate?
A song called Checkmate?
He had a few pieces bringing up.
Not that one.
No.
You got certain guys that they really know how to rap.
Like, they really know how to.
To do things.
They may not be the.
The best songs
writers, like,
just create the song structure for it and everything else and pick the right
production and everything else to make it
just go.
But...
they'll say things and you go, oh,
all right.
Mase was like that too.
Like, Mase would be able to
say stuff at points, and you look and you, like, you just want to snatch it.
Right.
Hey, man, do you ever have times when.
When you're like.
And
does any of that bother you?
What the.
Like when somebody say something or you're in a beef,
does it.
Do you lose sleep?
Nah, nah.
Big, Look, you says.
Look, you got.
You got ball players
out there that are extremely talented.
Right.
They're so talented that they don't have to work at it.
Like, they're just that good.
Same thing with the writers.
You got the guy that's just that good that he says.
And you go, oh,
okay.
You was trying to really, like, like, go,
go for my head, huh?
Like, you know, and then
you got your Kobe's.
That gotta work so much.
They discipline themselves so much
that they outperform everybody.
You see What I'm saying.
And it's focused.
It may not necessarily be the gift.
God given that...
It's the work that he actually put in.
Is this easy for you?
Fif
At this point it is...
Like, this stuff is not.
It's a lot easier than it was.
I wasn't comfortable all the way in the space.
Like,
when they say you a star for the first time,
it's still.
I'm doing everything for the first time on the record.
I had the largest debuting hip hop album.
It's the biggest first album to work and everything.
It felt like I was ready for it, but I was doing it for the first time.
You know, and
now I've done it
a lot of times.
And then I felt this energy on different formats.
Like,
this is like my first television show is like my first album.
It's a new
version of.
Hey, man.
Back to Fat Joe being in the neighborhood.
And when he did the World Series.
when you saw Cube do the World Series...
for Game two, and then you saw Fat Joe.
And that's Fat Joe's my guy.
So I never want to
feel like I'm slighting him.
He said it was his inner ears.
Oh, it was messed up.
Yeah, yeah.
And I can believe that.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Uh.
Oh, it's unfortunate.
Cause it's a big.
It's a big look.
Yeah.
Did they call you...
for.
For the World Series?
I wasn't available at that point.
But you did get the call?
Yeah, I had other commitments that I couldnt.
That was bigger than the World Series at the moment.
I just had already committed.
So I couldn't pull out.
I would have to pay these people and.
Right, right.
You're like, how many minutes and how much are we down?
You know what I'm saying?
Are you a Yankees fan?
Yeah.
It's almost mandatory to low, right. For that size, you have to wear that.
I apologize.
Yeah, man.
So
when you watch Joe, what was your first thoughts on Fat Joe?
And I'm watching him figure it out.
Like he still got through it.
Like a lot of showmanship.
Yeah, man.
You know how you see Beyonce fall and she jump right back up.
Like it didn't even happen.
And then you'd be like.
It'd be like us.
Two seconds later,
they're in a different portion of the show.
But you gotta get outta your head.
Yeah, man.
To fall...
and continue the show the right way.
And then I think social media
now, you know, back in the days, man,
before social media, you can fall off the stage.
Nobody had.
They're not gonna miss nothing, you know, Now.
Oh, my God, bro.
Well, 50 had the famous P pitch with the Mets,
remember?
Oh, yeah.
You see that?
I thought you liked me.
They brought me here, they set me up.
Hey, man.
But on the real, man, like, you are.
People say that you're one of the worst.
Yeah.
But you know what I learned?
Big.
But you know how to pitch a company, huh?
You know how to pitch a deal.
What I learned from that experience is
sometimes you receive more
with.
With not doing well, then you receive.
If I threw an excellent pitch.
Yeah, yeah.
We wouldn't even bring it up.
Talking about.
They'd be like.
so what?
You could throw 110 miles.
Genius strike.
Because we don't even talk about some of the great over the plate pitches.
Yes.
Those pitches don't get no conversation.
Yeah.
Did you do that on purpose?
No.
Right.
Shit, We left, man.
Yeah, but you knew how to.
Hey, man.
And I've thrown out the first pitches before.
It seems easy.
It does.
It's a lot of people in front of you.
You got a lot of pressure.
Like when you're throwing.
You throwing a pitch in your backyard, around the kids, stuff like that.
You like, just look at that.
That was accurate.
I could throw that into a garbage can from across the whole yard.
Right?
And then when you try to...
do that in front of a full stadium for people,
show off at the same time you trying to throw this hard as you can throw it and
make it look like ya arm dislocated.
Right...
Hey, man, let me tell you, My first. My first.
First pitch, bro,
I remember it was a lady, some girl that was catching for me,
and she saved my life, bro.
Because my first pitch, the first time I did it, bro.
Oh, my God, man.
It was bad.
But she helped me.
Big.
They should show people the tape of me getting ready.
Oh, yeah.
See the Getting ready.
Go on the pitch perfect, man.
Yeah, right?
I got there and it was Showtime.
The shit just went crazy.
When you go home, you don't take that home with you.
Yo, I did.
I took the whole energy back with me to the.
To the house from there because I didn't have to do that.
Big.
I was like, that's why I do that.
Oh, yeah.
Why did I say, did you do the.
Why did I say yes?
Yes.
Because I kept seeing.
It was on the news.
It was everywhere.
I'm like, yo, I got a baseball card.
Like, they have my arms look like it's off.
Yes.
They made A card?
Yeah, man.
A Topp's card
on official card.
Yes, a real card.
I'm like, so you said nothing else happened.
It was cool that you had to make that.
Like, the kids stand outside with blue pens.
They want me to sign this thing so they can sell it.
And I'm like, no, I know you have a blue pen.
You want to sell it?
Yes.
Hey, man, the blue marker, like,
I know it's going to go away.
I know what's going down with that, man.
50's two cents, Trump is back in office.
Yeah.
What do you feel about that?
I don't know.
I don't know where you at?
Sometimes.
Yeah...
I try to stay in that area.
You know what I mean?
Hell, yeah.
Politics, you know, no matter what you do.
Someone passionately disagrees with you.
You know,
and I stay out of it because I'm in entertainment.
I just want to entertain people.
Right, right.
You know how to get.
It's like double Dutch, you know, you.
Jump in, not too much.
Don't duck too far.
Yeah.
Get, get right out.
Yeah, no, right, right.
You stay out of there.
Like, look, you got a lot of people.
There's things on from both parties that I don't understand.
Like when they're doing something, I'm going, wait,
what is this?
And
you know, like, either side of it,
I don't know if there's a right side.
I just know that we in it and we gotta go through it.
Yeah.
And now what I tell my people too, man, I just say, man,
you know what, dude, I gotta raise my kids.
You know what I'm saying?
No matter who's in office, I gotta raise my kids.
I gotta continue to build me.
I kinda got a Don King attitude.
Like, I'm living with the winner.
I don't care.
Right?
Right.
I'm living with the winner.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Don King would step over you, like, ah, Only in America.
Hell, yeah.
You say you leaving with the winner, huh?
Hey, man.
At least for four years.
Hey, man, do you read?
He said at least for four years.
Do you read comments on social media?
I do.
You do?
Yeah.
And you know how to categorize those as well?
Hey, I look at it,
this is the part where I'd be feeling bullied.
I see things, you know,
I'm usually deleting the part that I didn't like.
Right.
Do you block people?
Yeah, if they say something to.
I like,
I block a lot of times be fake pages and stuff.
Really?
Sure.
But you know, like, I'LL block it.
I don't care.
Just.
I don't want to see that again.
Right, right...
So you don't have a problem with blocking.
You know, some people say, oh, you.
You can dish it out, but you can't take it.
You're like, I tell people my block is hot.
Yeah.
No, I'm not.
I'm like, boop it.
You go like this.
Yeah, I'm not signing up to take it.
Right, right.
Like you're going to dish it out.
You're going.
When you see something and someone says the most negative thing you could
think of about you and they have information that you don't have about
them,
because this person's like an average person
saying it, and they.
They talking about you and say things and go,
okay, I understand how you feel, but I don't care to
think about how you feel.
You know what I mean?
And then,
hey, man, did Trump offer you $3 million...
to perform at his rally in New York or something?
But someone from then reached out to the people that had around,
and it was like that.
And it was one of those things that was something.
Right.
Trump didn't call me.
Inauguration...
The last time he was the president, the inauguration they had called also.
what about them taking, like, didn't they take Many Men
after he got shot?
Many, man.
Yeah.
Really, though?
I was like, yeah,
that thing jumped up 250 percent.
I didn't mind.
So you were one of those take it down.
No, I heard that producer was like, take it down.
I'm like, shut up.
Yeah.
And that's what you got to believe.
He did what?
Yeah,
yeah.
How you anti with people using music that you've put out
20 years ago.
Why you didn't do the rally?
I just was already tied up.
Right.
Let me ask you this.
When you got a meal out the deal
50
over two decades ago, and somebody called you up and said, man,
we got $3 million...
for you to do this?
Oh, no, I would go.
I would.
Look, I just.

Yo, I'm like, what?
This is a bank job, right?
12 hours on the plane.
13 hours on the plane back.
We only spent three hours on the ground.
Yeah, man, 45 minutes on stage.
So what's still that hustle in you, man?
When we talk about the residency, when we talk about Final Lap Tour,
when we talk about, you know,
producing, directing, executive produ, like,
why?
What is that hustle that's in you?
Well, I just like what I'm doing, baby.
I'm gonna tell you, it's the whistle while you work concept.
I've been saying this to you for years.

That'll be out and I'll be moving around.
You enjoy what you do fifth.
Like, you really enjoy it.
Do you enjoy being 50?
I do.
I like this guy.
You know what I mean?
Like, do you know you're going to.
Like, as soon as you walk out the house, anywhere you go, do you.
You know you're going to be recognized?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sometimes it's fun not to.
Because.
Really recognized.
Like, how can you not be recognized?
Like, what do you do to not be recognized?
Like, when I go places and I have an experience,
like.
Like,
let's say I'm somewhere and I just decided to go to a gym somewhere,
and I.
I've experienced doing the whole workout and people not saying anything to me.
Like, real music.
I had the headphones on and.
But they know it's you.
But out of respect before, they just don't come over.
When was the last time you got pulled over?
Oh, it's been a while.
I don't usually drop.
I got.
I don't drive the cars.
I have them in the houses.
At the houses, but I don't.
You have drivers?
Yeah, right.
When was the last time you've been in the dmv?
I ain't going to the dmv.
When was the last time you went shopping, Grocery shopping for yourself?
I haven't done that either.
Like, that's
not.
Doesn't require 50 cent.
When was the last
time you filled up a car with gas?
Gas.
Like, you got out and put the nozzle.
Yeah.
No, it's been a long time.
Because I'm usually in the car with someone who's driving the car that's gonna
have the gas and stuff already in it, right?
What about.
When have you.
When was the last time you called and booked your own flight?
Big you know, I'm not booking my own flight.
That's like a.
Like that.
The assistants, the people, the layers are around for the.
For those things.
Like,
now you don't want to take somebody else's job either.
You could have said something crazy.
Like,
when was the last time you just went shopping?
Right.
When was the last time you went shopping?
I go shopping out of the things they bought for me.
Like,
I pick things out of the things that they've already brought for me to wear.
Do they take those back?
Like, you know how you have a stylist.
They'll take it back or do something else, but I'm picking it.
Is that Fendi or what is that shirt?
Not in on the.
I don't know.
What.
Is that.
This is what?
Okay.
Whatever the shirt is, I know it's expensive.
It looked like it.
You didn't.
You didn't go
pick that off.
What about when you go.
Like, when you say,
I'm going to Dubai or I'm going to go do a show?
Do you pack your own luggage?
Nah, it's.
Usually they put it together
for me to travel, and I have stuff there, man.
One time I tried to have my wife pack my luggage when I was
going to meet Barack Obama,
and she packed the wrong suit.
You know how I lost weight?
So I had this suit, man, that looked like a hobo.
Yeah, man.
So I had to go.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I pack everything, bro.
Do you leave stuff in the hotel when you leave?
Or, you know, like, it's 50.
I gotta take it with you.
I leave things at points,
and they go back and they sweep and make sure that...
I've left jewelry.
I love all kinds of stuff, Big.
that's just in there because it's just like,
I'll be packed up, ready to go.
Look, I'll be having so much stuff going on,
right?
Like you saying, can't even think about that.
Yeah, I'm like, this is.
And it was like,
I forgot stuff and then go back and then go.
Go get it out of there.
Can you walk into, like, say, for instance,
there's a concert that's going down.
Can you walk into super bowl without a ticket?
I think I could get in.
Yeah, I think I can get in.
All I gotta do is act like, look, this is urgent.
Okay.
Go in there like, Dre, yeah, I'm out here.
I'm out here right now.
Yeah, I'm coming in right now.
they holding me up.
Hey, man.
But you understand
your privilege.
And people think it's a bad thing, but you understand, like,
I understand
my privilege, bro, and I love it because I come from nothing.
So when I go to a restaurant, bro, and they'd be like, Big.
I'm like, oh, yeah, they got us.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
They know.
Or even if I'm at Disneyland,
that's the only way my wife would ask me to use the privilege.
She's like, baby, see if they recognize you.
And see if they let us go right there.
And, you know, and I'll be like.
But it's still hard.
But, oh, I, I.
You know,
there's this place where people look and they go.
They wouldn't even
create.
They wouldn't create a problem for you if they could in their power,
because
they've been...
nothing but a part of the positive things.
Energy for them.
So they just like, you know, why would you harass me?
Not here for no reason.
Like, they would immediately, like, Snoop.
My Lamborghini,
he was able to take it out of Madison Square Garden
because the guy that was watching it was like,
I'm like, where's the car?
He was like, snoop.
Snoop got the car.
He gave Snoop your Lamborghini.

At Century Plaza or whatever that is.

And dude gave me the keys to Ty Dollar Sign's car.
