like the older hustling all focus I was making lots of money will sit me down when they see me running around doing the wrong thing that was sitting me down on the block and Queensbury and blade listen stop what you're doing on the studio we have so they wouldn't even let me ask you no I'm saying a lot of money if they catch me hustling a pike [ __ ] me up we may have first met and we started doing our demo tape and go get the address over the back albums and go stand outside
whatever company we would stand outside master tailor to stay outside what I had fun and I walking it you know then and wait for celebrities or somebody that we recognize to come out yo could you just touch it trying to get record - nobody would stop for us a visor I ain't got time for that [ __ ] like walking past us [ __ ] on us YouTube came out the building we asked him to listen to us and he stopped it was I this is hot [ __ ] he said oh we got from
them from Queens up he was like y'all like y'all they're coming coming office I'm introduced shot some people and he introduced us to Chris lighty that day and most people in our rush associated labels and Def Jam office that's how we met everybody because a tutor he brought us an office and we took it from there and now we go into the industry party you're getting invited to the talent shows around the city like kicker pre sometimes was doing these like rat talent shows at the clubs and the winner gets $100 $200 somewhere we got
the best rapping they had did a bunch of those and one just meeting people people were starting to get to know us you know years later when we did the infamous album it was like yogas was highlighter let's get him in studio and get some beats phone it was like a couple of factors like you know um when Juvenal health first came out and then do well we would just learn how to make beats it was like young kids being really know was going like we're still figuring out what mile deep is I wish to
present ourselves to the world how the music industry works when a lot of time that album came out nas drop aromatic and it'll matter is this incredible like were caught sonically living everything that was just like wow like I mean and it made us look at ourselves like what the [ __ ] is we doing like you know I mean listen to masterpiece just kids is made we read them damn every day we outside I'm saying we going to the clouds like we didn't tell our story correctly and not with emetic helped us to realize
that because he told his story so perfect so we was like yo you know what we got to come correct dog like we got it we got to really dig deep in so people who we all share your pain it is everything with the people and they will resonate with it we better than what we did and we use like your lingo and get another chance after this if we proved we flop a game is over we regroup we went in the crib man 40s man weed and started grinding like really making beats like really
focusing on the production that came first what do we want I found to be like the lifestyle we live in life static you know we grew up in the beaches naturally came out like dogs dark sinister sounding [ __ ] so the lyrics was easy after that like you know I'm saying because it's the beat basically like Cole's delivers out of me like if I had a wack ass beat I'm not going to think of no rhyme that's that's way is going to be whack Tyler you know I'm saying but it's a beat is incredible
and it's like it make you go wow that's it's hard like that's it will pull the lyrics out of me and then we would play it for you know our friends our people on the block and different people just to see their reaction and everybody reacted the same way like and they've got it now why storm actually came out two years before the album I recorded that song like 97 half was in the studio it was in the studio making some beats from noise and I came to the studio to hang out with them I
heard the beat of a Lourdes fire you know have man humble I hike but it was only way to go hang out somewhere go to a club or something go to meet somebody it was like it would be right back like I leave it yeah I live in this [ __ ] alright see ya later they left assert a rope and recorded - Alvin [ __ ] that I'm taking his beat and came back later I played it for him they were like wow that's dope yeah I gave it to clue was the first person
I gave to clue started playing it all the time I even played whatever clubs he was DJing and he played it you know on his mixtapes and [ __ ] I spent at different clubs and I would hit a song come on I'm like damn that's crazy and people would know the song dancing to it going crazy I'm like oh [ __ ] every song is there's some powerful [ __ ] you know I did two years passed everybody started recognizing later his song is it it just keeps living like it's not going away Chris
lighty noticed it he was like yo what you doing with that song how they hunts for H and I see him all deacons I record right now though cuz they about to drop the album when you disable it was that song from Aldi I'll say hell no that's my [ __ ] hey head making number one legging on me had to talk to me like hell we need that song from Aldi come on son my god you know what let's do a remix and put the remix on it on the Maldive album put the regular
version a mile so we call it a little Kim she hopped on the remix had hopped on the remix and that's the version everybody knows like you know I'm saying and that gave the song even more life once Kim hopped on it it was just like with a brand new song like it didn't even exist for two years like you nothing the almonds about the commodity of the day and then all of a sudden technology change it was like that easy to bootleg a CD so that the bootleg just hit the streets crazy though the
album is dope your album is dumb let's [ __ ] it out maybe we drop yet so me and have was like you know what just going to school you'll something like four more songs hold them tight make sure they don't get [ __ ] bootlegs on now and put it on the album so at this time we put out a new release date at least it's something Monet that Danny guy so you still got to go get the real you know I'm saying I've even if you got the bootleg it makes you want to
go get diversity because we did extra songs just because of that the bootleg actually helped market and promote that album I think that was made one of the big reasons that went platinum aside the fact a little gem I've thrown it the remix that was a thing in New York from cassettes to CD like there's nothing you can do about it right I mean that was the internet back then the internet didn't exist yet so if you seen your album bootlegs on the street it's not it's like you're gonna beat up all the dudes at
CERN albums and you're gonna be doing that forever that's like trying to fight your song being ran in it right somebody else is gonna post it up you take down ten pulses gonna be ten more posts in another hour like just be happy that you know saying it [ __ ] want to hear your [ __ ] that's up value [Music]
