Strawberry Danish with Rick Ross | The Why with Dwyane Wade

[Music] [Music] hey guys before we get started with episode three of the podcast I want to give you guys a bit of a heads up you're going to hear a voice that you haven't heard before and that would be my guy Bob matelis AKA of fler wall Bob and I have worked together for many years he's a videographer photographer um but also Bob has done a lot of amazing things Rick Ross and knows him in ways that I don't that I even don't know him and so shout out to Bob for being the getting credit

for Puerto Miami 2 album shoot so I thought it would be cool to have him in the studio with us have a conversation Bob is a man a few words but I love the way that he goes into thinking about questions and it's going to be times where I'm going to use Bob to throw questions to myself throw questions to um my guest as well so Everybody Welcome [Music] by all right everybody welcome back to the why with Dwayne Wade one of the reasons I wanted to start this podcast was because I wanted to have

the opportunity to talk to people that I admire that I adore to I have relationships with that I feel that that is at a level of of greatness and how they think how they move and all the things and so to be able to be back here In Miami be able to be here in this studio right here where a lot of a lot of hits has been made and to be able to be sitting next to my brother the biggest everybody Welcome Rick Ross to the podcast my God my brother my brother for Life

everybody tapping in all right so to start this conversation off because that's what this is this a conversation um I want to start it right here hey what's good my boy this was a night right here in Miami later give the Set up the biggest and I was at the same game I was playing he was he was on the court side I had a great game I walked over to you the game asual y'all feel this y'all can cut it y'all can cut it so man I walked to you after the game I had

a good game we had talked over the before the season started about doing some things together in my last season so the first thing we talked about was doing the collab with my shoe brand Which we did Legend shout out to w w and Le for that better believe it better believe it and then you turned to me you said now can I get you in the studio you said can we get in the studio together can we drw one I was nervous but I was like for sure for the culture for the city better

believe it and so we did that so I walked over to you after the game I said I'm ready tell them about the movie in the studio man man it was just a good vibe you know what I'm Saying we linked up audio Vision you know what I'm saying a legendary studio right here in North Miami where all the classic records been been made you know what I'm saying we get in the studio one time for you Donis UD you know what I mean once again and once again we was just celebrating my bro um

last lap you know what I'm saying we was celebrating the last lap I want to say the 16th season you feel me so of course we had a of course the city had a lot of things Going up but we just had to do something from the music side so we got in the studio pulled up a smooth beat and man we just yeah we shared a lot of laughs you know what I'm saying took pictures kicked it and it was just one of those vibes you know what I'm saying and D way he handled

his business you know what I'm saying he smoked this verse when we did it man we dropped it and it just had a good vibe man and I'm glad the homie did that man it was love man what I Loved about it is you know that's not something that I normally do but when I got inside the booth just the vi just the conversation you D in there with me we got the Wings Stop you know what I'm saying we got the we got the Vibes Immaculate but at the same time man y'all let me

get in there and feel comfortable and I got a chance to get in there and just sound like myself you know what I'm saying and really sound it off the right way I was expecting you to Be horrible I was ready for it but you surprised me you winning there and I'mma let y'all know the verse you hear is is is damn near the same thing from the first one he laid you know what I mean and so when you get in the booth like that you usually don't get that you know what I'm saying

a lot of times [ __ ] could sit in there and play with that verse an hour two hours three hours until they actually comfortable but BR got in there and did that you Know what I'm saying so it was all fun man so for me man being in that Booth right I'm in there and I'm trying to figure this out in this moment I've never done this before and so it made me respect even more of the greatness of of the people in that comes inside that Booth because you want to have your own

sound you want to have your own that expression right you know what I mean you got one of the most unique sounds that we've ever heard in in this Industry where did this where did this sound what did this this character of this sound come from is that is that your voice do you talk like that all the time or is that when you get in the studio you click somewhere else yeah you when I'm in the studio I do go somewhere else yeah you know what I'm saying because this my sound but when I

get in there and I want to say certain things it's just like we could say yo I'm going to the store but when I'm in there I'm Headed to the you know what I'm saying yeah it's it's because I just want to make sure they they capture that passion and what Ros saying you know what I mean I'm not going to lean too far away from you know the way I usually move but I do make sure I give them Something Different yeah so that's just like that that classic ad that's just me saying like

I don't have a word that Express the way I feel but this the closest I could come to It yeah yeah I'm like we jumping off the roof yeah you know what I'm saying so that's that next level I go to just to make sure they feel that that Vibe yeah is that is that like is that something as an artist that you need like like okay like Lil Wayne he start that he hit that lighter before he go he that you hear that yeah right Jay got like Jay now you Jay got his thing

he be he he let you know he coming in right when you hear Jay-Z coming in so like is that a Thing as every artist you got to find that that thing that kind of sets you apart like when we know Ros maybe on a song we may not know and he's like huh I'm I'mma say this it may not be something that's required by every artist but those special individuals you find something that makes them unique you find something and they know and once they get that connection with the audience the fans in the

streets they know it's just like me right before him They going to hear huh yeah give them that M let them know cuz we F to give it to them we going to do them dirty too yeah and so when they hear that right before I come on that's usually that sign of that arrogance I'm F to do them dirty yeah for no reason so where where do your where do your confidence come from I mean born in Mississippi yeah but growing up here in Florida right where's that you guys unique you have unique Energy

you have a unique swag without a doubt what is that what do you call that that Mas well that that confidence come from I believe just you know walking home from school in Caris City every day you got to it's going to make you a soldier it's going to make you a soldier you walking home from Miami Gardens Elementary Carol City Middle School by the time you get to the high school it don't matter who you is what race you is you you you built cuz hey boy they they They ain't going to even play

with you you know what I'm saying my dad from Florida my mom from Mississippi yeah you know what I'm saying so you know that's how you know we was always here so um by the time [ __ ] man you know and I was a heavy dude a big dude so if I'm walking home from school and if we in the third grade it's the sixth graders going to say Hey fat boy check this out so you got to learn how to deal with people and understand and know what it is and so You know

it I it got to a certain point where I just knew how to move anywhere I'm at it could be a room it don't matter I I'm I'm built for it it don't matter and so people kind of get it you know what I'm saying I'm respectful at the same time yeah you know we show respect we give respect we move by a certain code of honor yeah you know what I'm saying we a get money and start changing and taking advantage of nothing we a you know what I'm saying [ __ ] [ __

] wives and you know what I'm saying we avoid all that [ __ ] we want to handle our business yeah you know what I'm saying let's make history let's not take this [ __ ] for granted so um on all on all levels we keep it balanced what's that what is that secret sauce like we looking at someone in the sports world right now like LeBron James we got done we just got done looking at Tom Brady these these guys that's been around and has been at the top for a very long time It's

it's not easy to make it but it's damnn show harder to stay at the top to stay keep you could have a you could have a great season right you know we we seen a lot of people have an amazing season summer Yeah couple couple good season in a row make allar team once orce yeah you can make all and then you say damn what happened to bruh damn bruh been out The League how long yeah damn dog had that one commercial that with cool yeah dog did the dunk S and that's cool we call

that trending right you could do it for a little while yeah nah but it's the culture gonna pin that [ __ ] to the top you know what I'm saying yeah so I think what we admire the most is you know our level app passion and for what we do we wake up you see how you just told me outside it's bone to bone that's how we go we don't know no other way we don't know no other way we go bone to bone cuz That's how big our heart is in the love for the

game and that's just how we that hustle yeah yeah hell yeah that's the hustle you know how many times I was sitting on the goddamn Court I'm sitting on the wood [ __ ] and you crash through that boy Bo I say boy they F Sue they fa Sue this [ __ ] on the F five rows but but that was the passion yeah and you could see it you ain't got to explain it everybody else soon as you walk God y'all see God That's what made them damn seats 25,000 they used to be 4,000

at one time once you start crashing that [ __ ] went all the way that's what made it I'm telling you I'm telling you that's what made it 25k but it spoke for itself your gr spoke for herself you know what I'm saying to become an icon and when you talking Hall of Fame when you talking about being an artist that's going on your 15th album year number 20 and you still could drop Projects when you want to you still could hey make noise whenever you want to you know what I'm saying yeah it's too

good to be true say that say that so so I feel that now I know that you you were in the game way way before this just like I was in the game way before this but I feel like you and I had a similar rise at the same time you better believe it 2006 2006 every day 2006 every day I'm hling every day I'm hustling in 2006 I went Finals MVP and better believe First that first CH and we both got it the same way every day day grinding grind grinding and it that was

my first hit record after being in the game 15 years that's just like you grinding in the game 15 years before you get that first ring and not only for that we shared that moment with the city with the city with the city that was a big summer oh man that was a big summer here that parade man I was smoking so good rid Cars I I wanted to be close to the yard but it was all good the police stay back but man when I tell you the city the city you know what I'm

saying one time for Shaq diesel you know what I'm talking about just the whole Squad and that was most definitely the beginning and we knew that wasn't the end you know what I'm saying when we said this way County we got a ring it's it's turned up we F to keep going and we did we got three we got yeah we got Trey we got Trey as we said on that album man to have a city to have a to to have day County get turned to way County and you was that is let me

tell you something that's different this for everybody that's from D County and Rose could say this let me tell you something what D County some of the most hating [ __ ] in the world I wish somebody would come from somewhere else and say boy I run Miami oh my God it ain't happening boy it's Going to be year old keying your car boy for no Reon it don't happen yeah so for everybody to be on the same page I'm talking it was genuine love that wasn't no marketing push that wasn't no gimmick that wasn't

no Miami Heat let's give away some towels that said no that was the street that what yeah that was roseum saying that everybody said that yeah and we still do homie when we see you we just saw you at the casino yes sir but that's way boy you already know What it is boy County in the building you know what I'm saying it's just genuine when you give you gave us all you had Homie we couldn't ask for nothing else we got Trey Rings baby you can't we can't ask for nothing else you know what

I'm saying and homie you did it was so much class go ahead Bob better believe it it's too easy well you can ask this but how does it feel because y'all both kind of that grind like though Sol was 15 Years before that 2006 between the both of you yeah they never do and then when you hit it and you yeah you you in that celebration like what's that like like you know talk to each other about like why is that like that's too easy for me when I hear that but me Translating that let's

say before I answer it that's like saying what it feel like playing those years when you on the park one onone in the cold in the night time in the morning what it's like when you go to a College that may not be D1 it may not have the big TV games you know what I'm talking about and what that feel like and then when you get that big check yeah well it's it's definitely it's more rewarding that way right when you oh when you the underdog when you when you're the underdog and and this

you versus you going through that like I tell people all the time is this is when you get a little I get a little bit more stubborn because I know that I was there Through this whole journey when nobody knew when no one cared when no one I was the one that was there and and I could and I didn't quit on myself and so throughout that Journey it's so easy to quit on yourself because everybody else is throwing the people names who this and that and if you a youngster and you hear it's dwade

he had a smaller College you ain't hearing dwade you hearing these other names and you know some of the names I'm talking about they ain't Got rings but that's just the way it go but when you make it boom yeah you get that big check boom yeah not even the big check when you coming you [ __ ] on them you give when you get that respect when when you get that respect because I remember when we signed D way okay D way on the heat now let's see let's see how hard he go what

y'all think he ain't talking a lot like them other dudes his hair ain't nappy like what he kind of quiet oh he kind of Quiet oh yeah he kind of but you made it clear real quick oh dog solid as a rock dog all and then it I'm talking about that was right off the rip was we a wait three seasons for that love or that respect no I'm talking about that was off the r we came we right for came right in yeah you came in the game with it I tell people all the

time you know it's like I can smile I can be softspoken I can do all these would respond sometimes when that ball Go up when that ball go up that's what I do I was dirty I loved it I loved it you know what I'm saying I Lov it it's like you you can do all the things you do but once you get into this lab once you get into this booth it's on you become yeah the biggest yeah you know what I mean those separate the boys in the men there you go so those

lights right there get bright hell yeah that's when that's when you become who you are um when I I had the the luxury man of coming to your Crib in in Atlanta and it's been reported that it's uh 200 300 whatever it is 200 plus out Acres right you and I walked Walked to acreage I was like I was I was proud I was like I was a family member of yours I'm sitting there I'm walking Acres with you for my chest out I'm looking at horses I'm looking at cows looking at every whip that

I ever thought I wanted to see but in the midst of that whole walk of seeing that and being inspired by that you said Something to me that has not left me you said how you were raised and we talking about hustling you talked about your mom so your mom told you if you getting paid 150 on Sunday but they offer you 30k on Monday go get that money don't think that you need to be oh I'm I'm making 150 I only can show up for 150 no go get that money we going to get

it no matter if it's Sunday Monday Tuesday when you ain't doing nothing anyway go get it and that that I don't know why that just Stuck with me and I was like I know why you go as hard as you go because you raised with that mentality because everyone don't have that that's that game my Mama gave me from that Mississippi side yeah you see what I'm saying that she come from a side of living you understand where you can't play with that it's people that don't make 30k a year there you go you understand

so instead of just sitting at the crib Keep moving this ain't guaranteed to you son D D D D so I applied that I took that to my heart and I said you know what we ain't going to leave no money on the table if we doing business we going to find a way to make it work homie if I told you I needed a 100 for it and you came in and said I got 40 now come on leave that 40 with me and we going to work out that other 60 we going to

find a way to make that happen because if you make that a habit over 20 years how much Money you done let walk walk out the office facts and that same number you come up with with Ros done got that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Ros got that yeah yeah yeah so we a't we ain't playing nothing yeah and my girl that's who gave me the whole game so I hustle a a little old school yeah you know what I'm saying I'm going be fly when we come in the thing but my hustle is old

school we try to keep that calendar on the go because at the same time we love it yeah we love It y'all inviting us to the and y'all want to do business at the casino oh that's easy and we fin to shoot the dice we [ __ ] man man put a a little budget to the side for you too this what we love to do you know what I'm saying we ain't coming to do nothing we don't love to do which is too easy let's do it yeah I mean that I I love that

and just for you know anyone who listens to this man it's like they see you know we going to see the glitch we going to see the we going To see the planes yeah yeah we going to see the cars we going to see the houses but they don't see that that Monday they don't see that that you know what I mean like they see that the headlines but they don't see that on that Monday when you going you going to hustle you're going to get something else and so I just like to man bring

that up because to me as somebody who I feel like I work hard and I hustle but at that moment I feel like I was leaving stuff on the Table and I was like you know what in my mind I'm like Ros said and it's this conversation that you have with with your brother and I'm like Ros said go get that you know what I'll take that I'm I'm going come and take that it's easy it's too easy we chilling let's get on let's put on our fly gear man let's go rep our brand let's

you know yourself into these businesses man talk about I mean you know we We R Belair Ros all day you already know what it is um but all the things you you in man how how and why why do you get a part of these Brands and how are you going to take these brands from how do you take these Brands from where they are when you be a part of them to where they need to go cuz nine times out of 10 if it's something I want to be a part of it's something I

admire you know what I'm saying and if it's something I want to be a part of if I see the vision I know it's something I could really bring value to mean and helping that's just like yo I'm good at what I do let me do this you see what I'm saying that's D way that's D Way Wayne I mean the wine Let me see the wine you see this you see this yeah okay a lot of people wouldn't do this that's beautiful three by W shenen Blanc how you pronounce that yeah shanen Blanc shenen

Blanc you see that see how Ros spent that around shenen Blanc shenen Blanc see I said that three different times it ain't many people that to say shanan Blan back to back so guess what when everybody in the office that sh in Blanc when they see That they gonna say wow we really like Ros and that's what I do with everything I do let's introduce everybody we can't take nothing for granted let's plug it let's rep it let's have fun you know what I mean so like I said if it's something I want to be

a part of let's say for instance I don't do no business with Jacob but I've spent enough B Money with Jacob well wow I may want to do a collab with Jacob Jacob I done spent 10 million with You maybe one day we do a you know it's just one of those things we get fly all the time we wear sneakers every day so it's like us doing the sneaker collab was just fun it was dope it was cool yeah we did the commercials and all we just playing with the basketball just it it wasn't

even it was all love so imagine when you financially gain and doing things you truly got love so that's how I need to feel for how it need to feel and that way you could you Could wake up every day and rep every brand it's some people that feel like man I I did that last month I'mma chill this month I'mma do something else you [ __ ] up yeah I mean it's not then it's not authentic right even if they consider it authentic against somebody standing next to somebody like me it ain't going to

work yeah cuz we going to rep Shin Blanc every day and if you a part of the team you hear in this you hear one his raps when You say that [ __ ] I'm just letting you know and it's and it's that fly but that's what we got to do and we can't be afraid of that and if you on the team you got to rep every day how is it um how is it going through this this journey you've been going through but at the same time being a dad you know what I'm

saying trying to hold up that higher standard as well how is that you know as as I same thing here trying to be successful in one thing Trying to be the greatest but also trying to be a parent and trying to give that same to your kids right right how is that that tuing poor B right well well me being a father my kids is nothing that mean more to me than that yeah and at the same time I understand the opportunity we have right now that's once again me getting that game from my mom

and my dad giving me that game and understanding this is not nothing that's guaranteed a promise to nobody else so I Want to seize that moment and this is really the motivation my kids so when I say the Empire that's my little ones you know you understand so the Investments I make is really these are long-term Investments of course Ros going to shine but my big and my major plays real estate so on and so forth Lord willing the players for them to take over that and enjoy that do they see that can they see

that I'm sure I know my daughter my daughter and my son do you know what I'm Saying my other you know my youngest my you know they they they they they youngsters so they don't know that shat but I'mma have that in place for them you know what I mean and when it come to the mothers of my kids that's I feel they understand that and know this is the the long term they on my team I got they back they got mine and it's for our little ones you know what I mean I um

the reason I asked that is because just know just in our culture man just you Know I had to have this kind of realization with my son is you know we're taught as you know young black men being raises we got to go get it got go get our own you do and you love that mentality but at the same time when you have a father um or you have a a parent who goes and get it and it's not always like oh I got to go get my own how about sometime it's looking inside

of what we what we went and got what I went got and say oh I'm GNA build that out you know What I mean pops did that for us let me take that let me take that to another level take that that's what that's what you want that's what what we need that's what my my desires and I pray that's what the future holds for my youngsters even sometimes let's say when you miss you miss a game you miss a this you won't be here for that I feel that's something that as they mature and

they get older they will understand that I get it cuz everything Won't be just as you know easy as it you know it's just one of those things they'll appreciate the mature the the older they get when they begin running businesses they begin investing they understand what the definition of sacrificing is that's something that they understand yeah you know and hopefully you have things in place hopefully I have things in place where they you you know they could really appreciate and love it you ain't got no Stress I don't want you to have no pressure

and not just for my daughters that's for all my kids I want you to be able to really do whatever it is you love to do cuz you ain't got no pressure I took that off you yeah give me that credit y'all hear that that's what I'm sometime you got to hear from other people yeah yeah you know what I'm saying like that's that's the message ain't nothing wrong with ain't no pressure n yeah I took that off you yeah I took that off you give me that credit you know what I'm saying and I

and rest in peace to my daddy but I love my daddy and you know and he have to give me a whole lot that ain't what make you you know what I'm saying just them words of wisdom you know he ain't spend a whole lot of time with me but I love him just as much as if he would have stayed with me every day you understand so that's what's important to me and that's something I grew to understand because You as you get older you see this [ __ ] real yeah and you realize

don't nobody owe you nothing you going to travel the world boy you know a lot you meet a lot of people in goddamn now oh boy oh that don't make no sense but oh this [ __ ] real yeah and as they get older they G to meet a lot of people and realize oh man this different that love was really genuine from all boy everything that you've that you've done and I know as an athlete and I Didn't come in thinking this way but eventually I got to this place where I wanted it I

didn't come in thinking that oh I'm I want to make the Hall of Fame but I got to a point in my career I was like oh that's what I want to get to I want to get to the Hall of Fame right believe what about you as we sit here is the Hall of Fame is that like yo Ros get to the Hall of Fame that I'm then I know I'm stamped as one of the greatest in the rap game in the rap game Ros and the Hall of Fame say that that's without a

doubt that's without a doubt and anybody question that you ain't going to question Ros look at me in my eyes you understand they not even serious you under dig um and that's stamped by the streets which mean morean more yeah yeah yeah that mean more to me um than anything else you know what I'm saying the Grammys the awards and all that that [ __ ] is most definitely cool accolades are always cool is way yeah that's Always cool that's what come the streets the street stepping you is bigger than anything that yeah yeah that

could happen in the streets the streets got Ros the streets why Ros on Star Island that's why we ain't putting no plaques up Star Island we a hang in no plaques the streets in on Star Island that's what that is yeah yeah the plaques ain't do that yeah no so I like to uh as I started off this you know I said this is the why with the way and I always like To end my conversations with that question right there everything that you've accom to this point and I know you I can feel your

energy you're hungry it ain't no you ain't comfortable you're still hungry but going forward from where you are today you know you're you're a young man you're under 50 years old what would be your why going forward from this moment not everything that you've already done but from this day Going forward what's your why why are you getting up every day doing it why are you continuing to sacrifice my kids your kids yeah we got over 200 Cars I got mansions in [ __ ] I don't even know how many different places yeah my my

$10 million mansion in Houston I stayed in it maybe four times in the last year but I do it because of love you know what I'm saying but the motivation is most definitely the Youngsters because when I talk about these things when I talk about these um real estate Investments I've won in all of them you know what I'm saying it's all it's all it's all a plus you know what I'm saying um see how it changes when we're young it's about you know you want to get them cars you want to get that money

you want to get them women you want to get this recognition but now you on this side all that [ __ ] too easy now let's do something that's going to Make us great do something impactful let's do something that um 20 years from now it's going to be a major thing you know what I mean when I bought the promised land I paid 5.9 million for it um it was estimated at over 30 million last time we had it you know value that so that's a great investment and once again um I remember sitting

there talking to my mom like she like well the house got a damn 120 rooms what the hell you going to do with 120 Rooms but I knew as you know as long as I had that conversation with her and I could convince her because she got my back regardless but when she stopped questioning me and just looking at me and she start seeing the vision yeah yeah because I don't know I don't have to answer every time I do something I may pull up somewhere see something and it's just I'm I'm following my heart

I don't know I don't know when I bought a wing stop what you doing this for I Don't know I just want to take a pretty girl you know in in my neon green Lamborghini to get some lemon pepper wings I don't know I just want to go on a DAT then just walk in there yo you know what I need baby and everybody hey boss hey you want eliminate the 10 P ex Chris with the p that just could have been a rosé dream and [ __ ] that turned from that to over 30

Franchises how do you plan that you don't yeah you just following your heart you buy your first one and [ __ ] work let's get another one it work let's get three more it work by the time you on your eighth you got your first two that's making a million a year damn you only paid 350 for the franchise and it made 1 million in one year let's get 10 more right Now we get 10 more let's get another 10 that was never the plan we just kept going and like I say once I sit

down on my team which is my mom and my sister they going to be whatever I'm with and so once again those the moves that I made that's those for my baby I got everything I want that's just like the last conversation I had you know you know I be hating in hear that weak [ __ ] when girls what do you get Somebody who have don't even finish that whack ass don't even finish that whack ass statement stand that statement that's go for anybody what do you get some somebody who got you got and
