Joe and Jada - Fat Joe & Jadakiss react to WILD Hot 97 drama, Knicks championship rings & Cardi B’s Tiny Desk performance

You know what I mean?

Everybody want to sell 10 million. Everybody want to have a great first week. Everybody want to. But sometimes it gets to a point where that shit don't matter. Your impact on the culture will always matter. There's also some people that stay on the top of the charts. And our people never even heard of them. I'd rather have the people.

Man, this what the people want. Joe Crack the Dawn. You know who it is, your boy Jada. You know what it is.

Joe and Jada show every show legendary, every show iconic.

And it's unfair. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. We won. Nah, nah. We won an award? Another one. The blackest. Wait, wait, wait. We won. Stop. We won the Black Podcast Award.

No.

We won a Signal.

Award for our episode, for Best Guest for our episode with Bill Burr.

Bill Burr. Bill Burr. We won.

There's three awards for the category. We were the gold winner.

We were at the top of the podium. You know, that's how you win the Oscars.

Well, Ellie Berry, she had to get drilled on film to get that Oscar, right?

Denzel had to play the drug deal in the jungle to get it. Denzel had to be crooked before he took it. We had to have a white guest to win the award. Yo, you're not listening to this shit, man.

Kiss.

Kiss, you're not fucking listening. Yo, God. Yo, God. We had to have the white man in the window award. Yes or no? We need him back. We fucking need him back. We need that guy back. Bill Burr, we love you, baby.

Bill Burr, what's up, I love it. Yo, listen, we won this shit, huh? What about the Black Awards? It was the Black Awards. We didn't win that one?

Never.

No, we did win the hashtag award. We won the one that we went to. Yo, we should start the T-Mark Awards. Joe, the award show that we went to, one of the awards that we won was Excellence in Black Storytelling.

We the biggest in the game. Yo, listen, I'm starting. I got to have, I figured it out. I got to have like a go-to short, sweet story. Because now, if I go through TSA. You got a million now. No, they say, tell me a story. Anywhere I go, I go on a plane, tell me a story. I go anywhere they say, tell me a story. So now I'm the story guy. Telling the night towards Christmas.

In the Bronx.

No, I'm going to make up a story that I'm going to hit everybody with. That's like a one-minute story. Cool, you caught your story, now keep it moving. Because when they put me on the spot, my shit long. My story's just long. And so, but listen. Damn, you ain't let me tell you, man. They called me this morning and the next. They woke me up really, really early.

Today's championship day. They said, yo, we need you to pull up in the arena. And I said, well, you want me to park? And they said, nah, nah. Pull the truck up in the arena. We pull the shit inside where Mr. Dolan parks his shit.

Nah, nah, yo kids.

Yo kids. The buses are there. Philadelphia 76 and LeBron, all of them on the bus. They see Joe Crack parking the shit in the arena. Philly ain't come out. I noticed it's on again.

We got beef. All the brothers with the strength and all that. That's their security, by the way.

Philly got the Muslim brothers with the, that's their Philadelphia 76ers security.

It should be.

It should, but I'm just saying, it is. I'm telling you, I've seen it myself, right? So I'm up in there, we go up in there, and the big thing is, they wanted to show me the ring, the Knicks ring.

And what was.

Crazy is the guy started to tell me, and I said, hold up, I need this on the film.

I said, you're rich.

I said, I won't put it out, but I got to have this on film because otherwise I'm cat.

So Jason of Beverly Hills, good brother, he made the ring, which the ring is special. But he showed me the ring before he even showed any Nick play. Anybody.

It was like, yo, Mr. Dolan wants you to be the first one to see the ring. I don't know what to tell you guys. So I want to cry. I'm not going to lie.

Cry. Y'all such a nickname. Why you crying right now? I'm not pussy, God. I'm not pussy, God. I don't got nothing to do with being pussy. Cry. Come on, God. I'm not pussy, God. But I was emotional.

When you talk about emotional, when I got in that car and I realized Fat Joe from Trinity Ave is the first person they showed that ring to, oh my God.

It's amazing.

It's an amazing, what I can't say is it's a special blue emerald on the ring. Like, like, Special blue. They found a special blue emerald. Diamonds on the shit. They got the garden all over the shit. They got the players' numbers, the jerseys on all over the shit. You can open the bitch up and it's Madison Square Garden.

Nah, it's crazy.

It's crazy. But it's big though. I don't see a girl wearing it. It's too big for a guy. They put it on the chain?

Yeah.

Yeah, because them shit's too heavy. Yo, Mike, that shit was legendary in L.A., right?

Crazy? I came in there like this.

My head is like a shark's fin. That motherfucking LL Cool J. My head is like a shark's fin. Man, I went over there. So I'm kissing the Grammy's ass. I'm trying to get an award. So shout out to the people that might not receive that right at home. well, the Grammys, it ain't just your music. It's your music and you got to do some vetting. You got to like tell them why your project is best. Why what you've done for the game.

Why?

Otherwise, this is why you see certain guys that we never met before win Grammys and we don't know who the hell they are.

They worked the voters.

So they tell me, shout out my man J-Rel, uh, Elmo, Lisa, so they tell me I'm late. They're like, yo, they already voting.

You late. You got to do something crazy. I said like, what?

So they got these things called jam sessions where they invite the people from the Grammys and artists come and get down. So like, it's like a spot where Jadakiss is rocking and whoever likes you pulls up and starts rocking. It's actually, we need one in New York. It's like really ill.

Right? So, bro, we threw out the bat signal. When I tell you, am I lying, Mike?

The legends of all legends, icons of icons pulled up to get down.

How are you with Evelyn Champagne King? Johnny Gill. Baby, you'll make my love come down. Johnny Gill did the my, my, my. Jimmy Jam, we got him again. He thought he was just, you know, he thought he was innocent support. And we put him on that piano. We was like, yo, he played that.

That's something I want to tell you. Oh, the guy, the brother who did all the music for Luther Vangelis. We had the lady that wrote Man in the Mirror there. Yo, they all came.

Who else came? Because I don't want to miss nobody. No, no, it was incredible. Everybody came. So after I performed, I did like a little half an hour.

Remy, Dre from Cooler Dre came. Ted Smoove, you know, so I used for the most part. Shout out to Cassidy. He put together the crew with me. I told him, I need your help. It's only four days. Call everybody in LA. And so everybody pulled up and... Cassidy, Eric Bellinger was there. Cassidy pulled up. And so I used the shit we did in Mohegan Sun. How you was flipping the beats and all that. I said, yo, Cassidy, I'm jacking you. The way you put the music together so I could do this right quick. I just did it.

It was great. Let me do it here. And this shit was the most incredible. And it was an honor.

Everybody who touched the mic, I kept praying every time they touched the mic. Because these are people, you got to understand. Before we ever knew we was going to be rappers or be famous, we looked up to these people. So when they come, we feel like a real fan. Like, you're not like artist to artist. It's like, yo, she's singing that, let's hear it for the boys. And she said, I just, you heard Denise Williams sing that free? I just got to be free. She was doing that like a bird type shit. I was like, oh, my God.

So my weekend was exciting. I got on the plane with my sister, Remy Ma. Not only that, Remy Ma's room was right in front of my room. It was weird shit going on. Her room's in front of my room, right?

In the hotel. She's sitting next to me on the plane. I never knew that Remy could talk more than Fat Joe. That one man talk for five hours. Fucking straight, my nigga. Like, remind me to sit in 11G and let her get 1D or something, or 1F.

Man i mean we have to catch up on it because we only see each other at events and all that we don't really get that quality time you know i've been with us since she's 16 years old so.

We we talking all this shit and we just going.

And your man Rich was like, he gave up his slot because he's supposed to sit next to me. He said, I'll go sit in your seat, Remy. Nah, he keep coming back. Yo, what y'all talking about? It look like y'all talking some shit. Yo, my man, didn't you want to sit in the 11D, nigga? Like, get the fuck up out of here.

Go to the back. Leave us alone. We in the... Man, she... Remy wore me out, boy. She was talking. My ears was like Dumbo by the time I left that shit.

I'm like, You know, speaking of Dumbo, have you been seeing the Instagram with Gumbo?

No, what's up? That's my man. Gumbo the weed. That's my brother. I grew up with him. What's going on? First of all, he's not pussy. Gumbo.

No, he's not pussy for a second. Like, I raised this kid. Like, I know him from my projects. He's from my projects. And what he is is a very generous guy. So he was going around. If he liked you, he'd just give you a big-ass chain.

This, this, that.

So, of course, niggas went on Instagram. They dissed the gumbo chain. They said, we got the new shit. And this clown shit, right? So if you fall out with somebody, if somebody don't rob you of nothing, all that dissing somebody to get ahead, to get some clout, It's like.

Can't fall into the internet shit. No, no, they fell all the way into the internet shit. They did. You don't see him saying anything on it. I didn't either. No, no, I ain't see him saying nothing either.

So what are we supposed to do, right? Because even you, when Homeboy dissed you, you took the high road. So the only way to react is taking the high road for everything now?

But the internet is not the way to react at all. Once you go on there, it's in.

You lost. You know what you hear people all the time say? Don't respond. They believe you. Just don't respond on the internet. You can respond. Just not on the internet. Nah, man. I don't like people like that.

Once you respond on the internet, if it goes anywhere further than that, you.

Guilty of it.

Oh, I get it. I get what you're saying. They say Hot 97 ain't paying the people, man.

Hot 97. They said Jesus and Mero. Mero and, uh... Jesus and Mero. Huh? Jesus. Kazim and Mero.

You're thinking of his old partner.

Jesus and Mero. Because Mero.

And so they did sign 97 live on the radio?

Kaz said on air that this is the worst place he's ever worked.

He's fried, for real. Jesus in marrow.

Yo, you gotta stop. I'm still thinking Zion coming to the Knicks, nigga.

You know I'm fried. Yeah. I'm fried.

Yeah.

You hollering fraud. You blacking. Oh, my God. So he said it's the worst place he ever worked.

There's a lot of reports of staffers not getting paid.

There's furloughs going on. Is there any truth to this?

Former Hot 97 producer Scott Bean piled onto the claims of Kazim and Mero saying has been furloughed and the company wasn't paying employees or rent.

They didn't pay Kazim and Mero?

They're not, well, they're not getting paid, I think, what they deserve, but there are other staffers as well.

But staffers weren't getting paid. I'm going to read you what's here. I'm going to read you. I'm not done yet. Oh, but I'm not done even. He got an opinion. He got an opinion.

No, no, because it's communication. You made it seem like they ain't paying the people to us. He just said they feel they ain't getting paid enough. That's a different thing. You know what you're getting paid.

You know what you're getting paid.

They're complaining about pointless meetings, highly paid executives, aging board. One of them calls Hot 97 the worst place he ever worked. Merrill said it hasn't been a fun few months and that it sucks, but the station has become.

Oh, you ask me? They sound like any employees that work anywhere. We going around mad companies.

It was so real.

And then one of the producers was saying staffers, but they were saying staffers weren't getting paid and they weren't paying rent on the spaces that they were using. So there's money, there's money being shifted in a way and some people aren't getting paid.

At the end of the day, somebody's getting paid for Master Flex because he got a tattoo of Hot 97 in his ass.

This guy acts like, no, yo, And he didn't say on his ass. He said in his ass. Nah, stop. On his ass. You know what the fuck I mean? In his ass. It just say on his arm.

Like.

For Master Flex, he don't agree with none of it. It's safe to say... He's getting paid. No, no, it's safe to say he's at war with Mero and Kaz.

He ain't at war with nothing. Oh, no, he's at war today. He ain't at war. Now I bet seven o'clock on championship. He's not the one that paid him.

I bet my fucking life. The Funflex is cranking that bitch up tonight.

Mr. Hot 97, Jerry West, the logo tonight. Let me tell you about these fucking bozos in the morning. This is Hot 97, home of I'm going down with the shit.

He might do his due diligence, but they.

Said there's more people. Man, they ain't paying niggas, man. That shit, man, I seen that summer jam, man. That shit look like... I got to chill because Front Flex ain't never played no aroma, no pushing keys, no nothing.

Like, I played myself by talking about the summer. No. Because I talked about the summer, Jan. I don't think you talked about that. I think I heard the aroma. Yeah.

It's not like I had to start jumping off the window.

You're just causing... What's wrong with this guy? I'm telling you. It ain't playing like it's supposed to. I don't think you have a problem with Front Flex. Yeah, man. You bugger. Shout out to Flex. We cut that off.

I just saw Flex the other day, Nassau Coliseum. Everything was loving.

Let me tell you something. Nobody loves from Master Flex like me. That's the problem. No. This guy's throwing me. No, I'm telling you the truth. He's throwing me off. I can't say I love from Master Flex. That's a flag. You should say that.

I do love for Master Flex. Fat Joe ain't who he is if it wasn't for for Master Flex. So why wouldn't he play a room or play your music? Because Summer Jam was a, you know, circuit that's so late. This is walking around looking like they was wearing human condoms.

Shit was a straight. They might not play a room no more. That shit was a straight nightmare. And they was walking through with the latex suits on and all. Like, I'm confused. I got scared for hip-hop that night.

I went over there to do the joint with Young Miami, and man, I had to run the fuck up out of there.

I got up out.

I was like, this is it? And you know, we know every generation, I never dissed the youth. Ever in my life can you find somewhere where I dissed the youth. But every generation gets to a point where the rappers diss the generation because it's just, You see where it's going. This is terrifying when I see that shit right there.

But anyway, they asking, do the charts matter or culture? In case you have a strong opinion about this. The charts always matter, but culture matters more.

You know what I mean? Everybody want to sell 10 million. Everybody want to have a great first week. Everybody want to... But sometimes it gets to a point where that shit don't matter. Your impact on the culture will always matter. It will always have an effect. It will always withstand the time. So that's how you answer that. Of course, everybody wants to be top of the charts. Everybody wants to taste some of that billboard success. But there's also some people that stay on the top of the charts and our people never even heard of them. And they want some of that. So, you know what I mean?

Pick your poison. I'd rather have the people with some money, of course.

That's the point. It's the people, the culture, but some money, right?

Because some people feel like you commercialize You know what I mean? Keep it real, keep it this, keep it that. But they always broke those guys. It's like, you ever seen the activists? Like, the activists that's been screaming about this and that. They ain't got no paper. They don't care about paper. They just care about the principal. This kid got killed. They don't get money. This is no shot intended, but it is a shot intended. You can't be an activist and act like you all about activism and then you take a check. from the so-called oppressors and then you're still an activist.

It don't work like that. It don't work like that. You're even for the cause.

And you hold your ground and everybody could be like, yo, you're Malcolm X.

You're a Martin Luther King.

But when you take that check-in from the guys you criticizing, it dilutes the poodle of your message.

I've always felt like... Where are they supposed to get money? I don't know. I mean, you want to be fighting. You want to this and this and that. Now, if you have... I would think if you have.

With you and they set up a fund for y'all to eat or whatever, then that's different. But you taking a check from the people you criticizing, that is.

Not activism, my brother. You work your way into a check. You got a regular job. I don't give a fuck. I'll take a check from everybody. You talking to me. I'm not an activist. I'm just giving you... I am the check king cold.

You somebody that concerned about stuff that happens in the world with you know, injustice and all of that. You fly the way they doing the seminar. You do the participant. You fly back. You keep doing that, you're going to be broke anyway. That's what I'm trying to tell you. They're mostly broke. You're going to be broke.

I'm trying to tell you, they are broke. And they're dealing with it from their heart.

But what I'm saying is, when you criticize people and then you take a check, it makes me feel like, You just worked on something for you to get a check. And then it really ain't the poodle no more. I'm telling you the truth. Story about Halloween. You want a classic story?

I got to use the restroom before a classic story about Halloween.

The kid by the window, I said. No, it's a prototype, yeah. Yeah, but you're eventually going to be able to buy one. They're showing us those since I was in third grade. No, no, no.

You seen them flying like real? No, I'm not talking about a movie. I'm talking about in real life.

They got one. You can't buy it. When you going to be able to buy it? I'm never buying it anyway. I'm going to always be a walker. You think I'll fly my own car if they make it? I think you are. If Celebrity Row's doing that.

I'm flying in there, you full of shit. I'm afraid of heights. Imagine me flying a car. You just keep your shit low.

Fly low. You know I do that when I go on vacation.

I get on a jet ski, but I go to just the low.

You stay by the beach. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Pop a willy right around the shit, because if I fall off, I just go right in the sand.

I do that. The jet ski shit, I... I don't never want to die on some asshole shit. I just don't. I don't want to be riding a.

Jet ski in Miami, hit a fucking piece of wood and fly into a wall. I don't want that last 10 seconds flying into the wall or taking a fucking Disneyland ride. Imagine them people who, God forbid, fall off the ride. That happens once.

A year or something. Last week. When you.

When you flying down, what are you saying to yourself? You ain't need it. But what do you say?

I didn't need this ride. It's over. You're on a motorcycle. Popping the wheelie. This, this, that. You hit some shit. You got 10 seconds of flying about to go in to get your head cut off the fucking wall. What are you saying to yourself? Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Would you tell me I should have listened? When everybody told you to chill, I seen this girl down over there on Instagram. She was on a motorcycle. She obviously don't give a fuck about life. Like, the shit this girl was doing, she was on cars, like, cutting the car. Yo, this bitch was great.

Yo, kiss. Nuts.

Up forward, up back, slapping the car while she's getting that one hand off the.

I'm like, yo, this girl... If she would have had one imminent, it would have been over.

That's what I'm saying. Like, nobody tell her, like, her family don't tell her, Lord, you crazy?

Like, it's a rush. It's an adrenaline rush. Nobody can tell you shit. You need it.

It's like you gambling, huh? What's the thing about gambling? You make enough money where you don't need to gamble. Why you like to gamble?

I like gambling. Because it's what? The rush? It's not even the rush. Nah, you need that shit. You got to feel a little scared. Like, yo, I might lose. I might win. What is it about gambling? The rush. I ain't even. We was just sitting next to two. In case you didn't lose like $ 400, 000. Two people lost like a half a ticket. Two guys on the side of me.

They was betting like $ 25, 000 chips, $ 50, 000 in one hour.

Can't do it. Man.

I come from nothing. I worked my whole life. I can't do it, guys. I believe in betting in moderation. If I am going to bet, I'll go to Hard Rock Bets. That's... I got to use the bathroom.

Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! JoeAndJayTheShow.com. We got new merch fresh off the presses. Go get it. Big. Out of big. Boom.

JoeAndJayTheShow.com. You can get these. A little code for a t-shirt with a hoodie.

It's my favorite right there. I need an extra large. JoeAndJayTheShow.com. Go there. Get it. They just smeared me in Detroit, though.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

They smeared me in Detroit. I don't usually get smeared. You know what happened? You got to go down late night. After they made all the money, aired everybody, you go down late night, you can eat.

So you could just set the alarm for four in the morning to wake up.

That's when you go down.

You know what's crazy is? I don't want to call myself old, but I'm old. But I used to be in the club seven days a week.

Nowadays.

I go and use the bathroom at four in the morning.

I'm like, yo, let me see what time four. I'm like, wow, it's really late, guys.

Like, I go use the bathroom in the room and I'm like, yo, I checked three.

Yo, it's only three in the morning. This shit feel like I've been sleeping for eight hours. I got another five left in me. I mean, like, that shit out of control.

Like, I don't know why when I'm sleeping and I look at the shit and it say three in.

The morning, I'm like, wow, this shit late. But I used to walk out the house at two. That was two. I live in Miami. You walk out the house at 2, 2.30 and go. straight to the club. I'm down the block.

So I'm walking up in there at 2.30, 3 o'clock. That was my walking to the club time. Now I look at that shit like I'm prehistoric.

Look at that shit. I'm like, yo, 3 in the morning. This shit great.

For all the real ones out there, we keeping it 1,800.

Yo, let me tell you something. Cardi B, she touched that tiny desk. Like, I'm willing to believe. I want to know how long she rehearsed. Because when I tell you her performance on Tiny Desk was flawless. Like, I mean, it doesn't even make sense. I never seen nobody better than her on Tiny Desk. Who you seen better than her, performance-wise?

Better than Cardi B on Tiny Desk. Now, The Lox is cool. That's not what happened.

The Lox pulled my ass. We ripped the paper. She had backgrounds, all of that. Hello, but hold up what I'm saying. I'm not saying that's exactly my point.

The Lox is one of the greatest lyrical machines ever lived. This woman right here, we know she's a headmaker. She just Cardi B.

You right. You right. She ripped the paint off. She ripped the paint off. She looked like The Locks rocked him. Lauren held her together the way she rhymed on that shit. I don't know what to tell you.

She had to do, she rehearsed the hell out, her shit was immaculate. She rehearsed three months straight, I think. Nah, I don't think that long, but she, it was immaculate. The sound, the way they was coming in, they was catching shit.

Nah, how long you think she rehearsed? That's right. Three months. Come on, man. Yo, yo, yo, kiss. She rehearsed three months for tour. Yo, that Tiny Desk. For Tiny Desk. That Tiny Desk. Nah. Tiny guess. Her performance was premeditated. I'm telling you. I've been around hip hop. Not three. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You think a week or two? Yeah.

So why she was better than everybody if it was just a week or two? I'm telling you the truth.

All she needed was a week or two. Man. 20 minutes. Nah, it ain't easy like you think, bro. It ain't easy like you think.

What I'm trying to turn is You know when you see the race cars and they're racing and they're hugging the corner like... Cardi B was rapping hugging the corner.

Like.

Too perfect.

Too immaculate. Like, it was unbelievable. I'm looking at Cardi B. I look at Cardi B as a hit maker. I don't look at her as Jadakiss. I don't look at her as Eminem.

I don't look at her as... I hope you look at me as her. That's crazy.

All right.

I'm highly impressed.

What about your Halloween story? That you was coming back from the Trent Firewood. They waiting for this Halloween.

Nah, I used that bathroom. That shit got industrial. You know, when you drive around them areas, it's all factory. You could imagine what that shit smelled like. The factory workers.

I went over there.

This shit wasn't for promotional use only. That shit was industrial.

I went up in there. That shit, that fucking cheesesteak. I know that's right. I know that's right.

No, you hear this guy. This guy full of shit. Let me tell you about Halloween. Tell you about Halloween.

In my hood. In my hood.

Can I say something? In my hood, I'm talking about I'm still in high school, right? Our project get together. We go to every other project. We fight them. We throw the eggs. We take the socks with the flour. And if you beat up the project, whoever's tough from that project, they join you. And then y'all keep going from project to project to project. Y'all had that in Yonkers? Oh, no, we did this every year. We had fake costumes, but it was just war. We would go all the way from Forrest Projects down to Patterson Projects. Every year, we would try to go to Harlem, and the police would stop the whole Harlem.

The bridge, the Harlem River Bridge. Stop, yeah. Stop. That's him. We were beating up every project in the universe. It kept going.

Forrest, Jackson, McKinley, this, that, Cortland. We'd go to Cortland, fight them, beat them. They'd join us. We'd go to the next, like, we was just, it was legendary every year. Pieces of shits of earth, That's what we're doing.

And so one year, I got a crack spot maybe two blocks away from my high school. And I was way too young to really be in the game like that.

I had to be 14, right? So I had a crack spot. Some dudes, grown-ass men, set up shop. It was like, yo, we got cracks here too, right? So they're like, yo, we could pump together. But they basically was taking my spot. I was 14, right? They were just bigger than me and all that. These grown men. And I remember on Halloween, that shit happened around Halloween. Halloween, I was in front of my school. We had about 300 niggas with the socks on, the patch looking like this.

And I had an idea. I said, yo, you know what, man? I said, I need you guys to come with me. It's like two blocks away. So I walk around the corner by myself on Halloween.

They in there. Grown ass. I walk up in the park. I'm like, yo, what's up, man? They were like, oh, what's up? This, this, that. I said, man, you can't pump here. They said, what?

They said, we trying to look out for you, young man. We letting you pump. I'm only 14, chubby little. I said, where?

Ayo.

The 300 niggas come around the corner. They didn't even know what they signed up for.

They're thinking, there's another project that's up. We're about to buy this. He was like, yo, yo, they with you. I said, it's my crew. All right.

You can't pump here. Y'all wanted to punk in them niggas. The niggas left. Grown-ass men. That's my Halloween. That was my dopest Halloween flex. The whole crew came. They didn't even know what they was doing.

They helped me keep the spot without even knowing. They turned the corner. Yo, what's up, man? Yo, Craig, what's up? What we doing, the niggas? I'm like, yo, yo, just chill, chill, everybody. Relax. You know, they understand. These guys... Ha! Ha! Ha! Any Halloween stories?

Y.O.

Used to do that. Same shit. Go from project to project. Dude's getting shot. Beat up. Rested. Shot too? Shot too? We wasn't shooting. We was just fighting each other. Oh, no, you'd get shot on Halloween. No, off one of them, off one of them million projects. No. Somebody, he hit somebody and they shot him. Or he just got shot and he caught the ace. I know one time, you know, they considered me a dangerous guy in the neighborhood. And, nah, nah.

I mean, I don't care what you think, brother. Like, very dangerous guy. And one Halloween, the police just pulled up. We was in front of the bodega. They was, hey!

For sure, they thought we had a MAC-11 or something. Niggas went through my pockets. I had eggs in my pockets. They be like, what the fuck is this? Joey crack? Some bull is fucking doing where the guns at. I was like, yo, this Halloween. No, they were not impressed by the eggs in my pocket. They were like, you got eggs? That's what you're doing out here? I'm like, yo, bro, it's Halloween. No, police ain't believe that shit, man. Clay Thompson is a bum. I told you.

Yo. You're going to feel so.

You're going to feel pathetically non-cypher.

Season means nothing. Watch when the season starts. You got to have the NBA against you. Real NBA people think you delusional. Yeah, well, thus far... That was fun. And shut out. Hold up.

Shout out to Ben Simmons. I know I went at him when I'm talking about players and stuff like that. But I'm just banter.

Get well soon, Ben Simmons. Get well. He was balling his ass off. He was killing out there for the preseason. First time in 10 years. We got to switch the name. What are you talking about? The man got hurt. Yo, I can't say what I really feel. I'm not a bad person. So he's no longer a flopper? No, he got hurt. Is he a flopper? No, he got better this season. Is he a flopper? This is the best he looked in 10 years and then he got hurt.

I do not. The preseason don't count. I don't appreciate. Well, he look amazing in preseason.

All right, now if we go back to regular season.

No, no, I'm not shitting on him after he got hurt. The preseason doesn't count. I don't want to see him injured. And I told you I thought he was a walking triple dunk.

Listen. Whoa. Because he is. He averaged almost double in every category. He looked great. Unfortunately, he got hurt. I don't wish that on the man. Watch out for the Miami. I'm a little bit mad. How about Indiana? How are you mad? I don't think the Knicks like me. I came to the. I had a talk with myself. Nah.

And I came to the conclusion. They like you, man. Nah, they ain't going to use you to butter me up. How they using me? I'm just.

I don't think the Knicks really feel the same way I feel about the Knicks.

And it's cool. You got guys who bus drivers... I'm gonna always love them.

Yo, we got bus drivers that are fucking Dallas Cowboys fans.

That's not the point.

The point is, I know for a fact that they got love for you. Because every year you perform for them in halftime. When I went, once again, when I went and created. The float for the parade, a once-in-a-lifetime in 53 years, when I gave your name, it was so ecstatic for you to come.

Clean. I got a clean name. No, no, no. I gave names. Everybody hate me. No, no. Everybody hate me. They're like gang affiliates. Gang affiliates. They write their name, too, and they go, I got nothing to do with you. I still got beef from the parade. Yeah, but it ain't your fault when they random names and it beats. No, I gave the names. And it beats. Yeah. Random. You go to TSA, they go random. Yeah, they caught them and they mad at you. That ain't your fault. That's not my fault. I put in everybody's name. But when your name come, it don't go in. It go love.

Got love. I love you. No, the Knicks got love for you. Don't ever do that, man.

But I think it did some furniture. They changed some people. And I think they did. They switched some positions around.

So what I'm going to do to you, if you don't know and y'all don't know the direct plug connect, when you come to the game next time and I'm there, I'm going to plug you in with the king of the crop.

Well, the Queens, because the girls run the Knicks. Maybe that's what it is. No, no, that's what it is. It's the Queens.

The girls run the Knicks. They under Dolan. It's the girls that run the show. I got to plug you in.

I'll do it. I don't care. You're my partner. I always want you to be happy. Oh, no.

Nah, it's very rare people that can get me to introduce them to that plug. Nah, it's a very rare, limited edition package, my man. The seal is still on the fucking bottle.

Man got some sneakers for me, man. Man got some shit for you? What do you got, the Adidas joints? The red joints? Them shit's described right there. See, there's a lot of Adidas around here. Somebody caught a package minus me. Are you 2K? You ain't got none? I bought these again, once again. I bought these. That was a good buy. They didn't give it to me. None of that. Let me tell you something. That was a great buy. This was a good time. Yeah, yeah. That color scheme is L. Nice color. That's like the flight jacket.

Know what I'm saying?

Oh, yeah.

Nah, that's what they did. They jacked the flight jacket. The green. With these on with the flight jackets. Army pants, hoodie, smoke. You see me in skate key, man. I put them pictures up. You know, it's hard, man. You know, we got a whole new society. Dude, that was the Arlington. That's the real one. Don't disrespect the other one, but Arlington.

Arlington skate key was different. That's where I met Pistol P that. Sex money.

Sex money. I went up there. I went out there that day.

I'm sorry to say, guys, my old projects, F-O-R-E-S-T, 300 niggas.

And, um... Got chicks and all that. I ain't even gonna say all that. I got busy. Little Marie. That was off. See, that's the good.

She had the door knockers with the Gucci shit with the beeper with the 40 below.

That was a B-girl. They don't even know about that. I didn't even realize.

I never realized that a girl's never wore 40 below, right? Because when I put up that picture, everybody was like, yo, shorty got the 40s.

She got the 40. I was like, oh, shit. But Lil Maria was always the fly. I had cousins that was B-girls. My first 40s came from my cousin, Gil. She stabbed me. She gave me her first 40s when she was at Little Feast. So your cousin had 40s? My girl cousin. 40s, V-bombing.

I had a lot of cousins. My cousin Teresa. I got cousins, girls that was flying and everybody.

That's all. Girls.

Yeah, Lil Maria was the one. You know what's crazy is I posted that picture. By the way, guys, when I post pictures, this old school pictures, and you see me with medallions this big, you would have got punched in your face for a gold front. If a motherfucker wore gold fronts, they were getting robbed. You would get punched in your face for a nose ring. I'm over there with medallions this fucking big. Like, y'all got to stop.

Like, maybe that gives some validity.

Maybe if you see me with a $ 5, 000 Dapper Dan jacket on and an old school pic when niggas was getting punched in they face for a starter jacket, I may start doing the math. Maybe the stories won't sound as bad to you guys.

It's shit. Hey, hello.

The truth shall set you free. Every now and then, and I don't got pictures. Every now and then, somebody be like, yo, Joe, I got some old school pictures of you. They said that, I be like, oh, shit. Y'all let me throw this up. I don't even keep pictures. I wasn't even taking pictures at that time. I was a picture guy.

Yo, man. This ain't cool. This ain't that. That ain't this. It's crack and kiss, God damn it. This is not a movie. That's it.
