and i'm telling you hov is like finishing a record going out to the lounge eating coming back doing heart of the city all the way through straight like literally it was a video that came on that he was in and he said something about the video like i don't like my hat or something like something he said like he ain't like about the video and he walked out the room walked up the hallway spit all three versus the heart of the city and walk back in and the video is still on what [ __ ]
wow [Music] because for the last 30 minutes you've been listening to a beat and you constructed this rhyme in your head and you did it so fast and you've been spitting it to me and you know like what you think about this word and that word that way we've already constructed it right so the recording of it was like okay i keep listening to it i keep listening to it and i'm saying it to myself and then now i'm ready you know what go i'm ready and when he walked in he was like he said
something about something that was on the television we have a television on the like in the wall on the top of b you know what i'm saying on the top of baseline and i was like he said something walked out walked in said all the verses walked back and the video was still on on my mother i played it twice no three times no did you that's did you get used to that or no i never used it i never get used to it spectacular that's why when he did this cali verse i was like
it's never i'm not used to it i'm used to it but i'm like i'm not is he gonna do it again i'm surprised like that i'm so elated or i'm just like i can't believe this dude is still doing this right that's how i feel i'm not used to it i'm not used to it i feel that way and i'm not there so like how the [ __ ] does he keep doing this [ __ ] just to clear it up just was following he was following directions he was fighting yes absolutely it wasn't no
biting right he was following directions and just as a chameleon just can do anything right he can do anything welcome to new york city is an all keyboard beat there's no sampling welcome to new york city that's him playing that's no longer listen welcome to new york city is an all keyboard beat that's crazy it's him playing the keyboards what keyboard was using uh back then it was the karma it was a core karma boom called course here yeah yeah but he was using but just having everything everything right justin's like the type that'll like
go to the store and buy the thing and make a couple things on it and i don't like that and just throw it away but he got like five hit records on it that's what i told you he made rock the mic on the asl x right which is like not his main thing but he was just like he was playing with it at the same time you know what i'm saying and just makes it 10 minutes yeah and i i like this thing better genius a lot of his a lot of the the thing
the the the actual machine don't matter to just i've seen him make beats on logic on an mp on an sp one of my favorite producers like everything i've seen on everything what video was it guru i got to know a girl what's the video what video that whole rapture video the lord came out he was video games it might have been it might have been um him or kelly with the with the um what's the name remix oh fiesta yes the remix it was probably that video that's a long video that is the law
that's a long video that's a five-minute video he could have started it and saw his hat that's a long video man i'm telling you something that's weird that's a really are you happy now you you feel me no he still don't believe it he's a rapper he don't believe was this after the pepper spray incident no before before yeah before obviously and you're a rapper too i don't take that away from you no no no i am not gonna make it no i'm not no no i am not no because i growing up i used
to hear pins on hiatus clark can tell me yo yo you know jay-z don't use no pen he don't so you know the next thing i did was not use a pen i'm not using it what's so surprising about that like it's not surprising because once i mastered it no but once once you go and be like yo okay this person starts formulating a rhyme and they say it to themselves i think you i think people take it as if he's standing in front of microphone and comes up with no there's a lot of revision
and thought process that goes into these things before you even go the actual going to the booth is to record it look some of the best battlegrounds i never wrote down it's only to record it but if you think of this thing and i got the first line i got the fourth line i got to fill in these two lines and then me and you having a discussion about do you think this is not only not only hold on not only is it ill like yeah it's good you know i'm saying there's never been a
whack rhyme but is it where we supposed to go right right right but i think the intricacy of what you're breaking down was absolutely needed because how all the other artists heard the urban legend uh hopes mr rhymes now we've had a generation of rappers giving us garbage just because they smoking weed and i'm just gonna say whatever i want on the mic right but we got math we got mecca we got esso my [ __ ] they surprised are you talking about like the music that you hear in the club or are you talking
about young [ __ ] that can really go so are you talking about reuben vincent nick grant are you talking about this oh you talking about this jet album that just came out where he's going when you talk you talk about young dudes i can name 20 young dudes that can go no i like that but there's been dudes who got away just did they name sonic demo can go right now of course i told you it's cool i told you bring him you never brought him bro i told you that's the way to go
right now khalil gibran from north new jersey can go right now i can name you i'm not trying to play what are you under 21 that can go right now i'm not trying to play without younger generation i'm saying what they what they doing so you can't say that like it ain't no writers and and young boys did y'all listen to the jet album i'm not saying that i gotta listen that's a bunch of rappers listen to it but there's a bunch of rappers because they're hearing the story they're thinking i don't even gotta think
or not i'm just gonna learn whatever i want out of my mind to those type remember when we were in here chopping it up and i i can't remember which episode it was i think a matter of fact i think it was when we were in here with um berg and i said with all the fly [ __ ] that you've done what i don't want is for people to be influenced by the wrong part of your story of course and that's the part that scares me because if somebody's gonna hear the dumb [ __
] you need and try and emulate that what what [ __ ] me up about hove what [ __ ] me up kanye we were talking about before when i said your man poisoned the well they hear one part of the story get influenced by it and don't take anything else but what guru just broke down yeah but that happens everything verses there's a generation of kids out here who are creating a whole form of music based off of probably like two months of what dilla did you know what i'm saying i'm talking about the
heads okay i have every dillatate ever and they basically hold music off for two months because every couple months it changed if you really know if you was really in there with dilla and one of those ones that was like yo i gotta work with him and he's the future and he's the best and he's the and those of us that recognized it early you know what i'm saying there's a whole genera okay so what you do is is how do we promote the young dudes that's not of that and they doing something different you
you what you do is you sit down with him when the time comes you sit down with him and you let him know exactly or exactly what we do on this show bro i love that part of your story i love the fact that you brought yourself out of all this adversity what i don't like is that you put yourself in it in the first place okay i hate the most of your issues that you overcame were [ __ ] self-inflicted people please don't do that [ __ ] jay does not write his rhymes down
he comes up with this amazing immaculate [ __ ] if you can't come up with amazing immaculate [ __ ] maybe you should start off by writing i understand what you're saying now get better get better yeah practice the fundamentals be tim duncan before you turn into cody because you both got the same amount of rings why don't you do what he did get all the fundamentals down and then you can come back as a partner if you're going to emulate who you're going to emulate the best no no of course go for the best
but j they're not [ __ ] they're not emulating jay-z they're punching in they're not writing is that okay let's forget let me say this no one cares if you did it in one take um it doesn't matter yeah hold on hold on no no no no no no no no no listen i don't care max let me say this are you reading a mary baraka and saying did he write this in one take no no i'm not right so that's my point no i'm not no i'm not this is some monumental writing we're reading
a mirror baraka and this is some it doesn't matter if he erased it and was like that's not the right word okay right plenty of times i'm bringing my kids home i used to live on their place this is this is off of clinton avenue in between 10th and 11th and everybody know that when mr baraka was alive he lived on 10th and i would drive my kids home and i'd be looking up and i'd be like that's my man's father and i would see him and the books would be in the background and i'd
be like he's writing it okay i think i think we went a little bit left do you want to know why i care if it was done in one take or not because i'm impressed when i found out that it was it doesn't matter i'm impressed if you can do that at that level hold on let me let me let me let me ask you something i'm not i'm not anti you're not have you ever have you ever asked have you ever asked if frankie beverly and mays before i let go was done in one
take as a matter of fact i did does it matter i actually i actually he's unbelievable no no no no no you understand what i'm saying you understand the point i'm trying to make right now before i let go and the whole of the superdome is going to do the electric slide look to this song you know it's classic i asked if it was written in one i actually it doesn't really matter one night but the question for you is but uh why i know you're impressed but why does dr dre punches every line so
that it is perfect if that's his disaster does that take away from him having a class no no the listener doesn't know it's not if you took of course 30 seconds of course for 30 [ __ ] days if i found out that drake did it all in one take i'd be impressed with that he doesn't make the yeah he's in the studio i'm not telling you it takes away from anything okay all i'm saying is i find that impressive okay it is great you can hit a shot okay from happening [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
[ __ ] throw it in reverse
