01:50Regular, regular, you know
01:52I just got off work
01:54So, you know, man
01:54I had to tap in
01:57For sure, for sure, for sure, man
01:59So, yeah, man
02:00Before we start, man
02:02Let's talk about your story
02:05Going back to the Bronx, right?
02:07And the Pac-Cham era
02:10What is it about those early days you remember?
02:16Oh, I just remember, like, getting, you know
02:21That first inkling of the culture
02:24You know what I mean?
02:25Like, the house parties
02:27The jams outside in the park
02:29When I was little, you know what I'm saying?
02:31For my brothers
02:32My uncles, you know what I mean?
02:34I could slide out with them
02:35So, I was able to see
02:38I was able to see it emerging
02:39You know what I'm saying?
02:40We were just
02:41It was something new
02:42And we were just happy
02:43You know what I mean?
02:45So, you know
02:46I got the real culture right
02:47Just like that
02:48And once I seen that
02:51I was in, you know what I mean?
02:53I was writing
02:53I wanted to be, you know what I mean?
02:55Just coming from the Bronx
02:57Like, it was really right in your face
02:59You know what I mean?
03:00So, those was good days, man
03:02You know what I mean?
03:03You got the DJ culture
03:05The MCN, you know what I mean?
03:07And then you see the greats
03:08That was before us
03:09So, we was able to build off that, man
03:12You know what I mean?
03:13But we loved that
03:14You know what I mean?
03:16For sure
03:17For sure
03:18For sure
03:18And because you come from the Bronx
03:22Do you feel like
03:25Being from the Bronx
03:26Comes with a responsibility
03:28When you're making
03:31Any song?
03:33Yeah, definitely
03:35It's a little different
03:36In the Bronx
03:37You know, like
03:37Hip-hop is all over the boroughs
03:39You know what I'm saying?
03:39All over the world
03:40But like
03:41When you, you know
03:42When you see your OGs
03:44OGs
03:45You know
03:46They like
03:46And they say
03:47You nice
03:48You gotta
03:49You know
03:50You gotta
03:51You gotta stand up
03:52You know what I mean?
03:53For that trophy
03:54Because
03:55They would chop your ass down
03:57You know what I mean?
03:58So
03:59You know
04:00You got to, man
04:02From they add
04:03And then you add a little
04:04New stuff on it
04:05You know what I'm saying?
04:06But you gotta keep the elements, man
04:08You gotta keep the elements
04:10Man, from the Bronx
04:10So
04:11We just gotta
04:12We respect our OGs
04:14OGs
04:14Who started this before us
04:16Who made us like it
04:18You know what I'm saying?
04:19So
04:19Yeah, man
04:20My man
04:21So that
04:21Definitely
04:22Yeah, yeah, yeah
04:24They put us to a certain point
04:25So
04:26Whoever they say is nice
04:28Alright
04:29We gotta keep the coaching
04:30And stand on it, man
04:33For sure
04:33For sure
04:34And I mean
04:35You mentioned
04:36With respect
04:38Did you
04:39Do you feel like
04:40We've
04:43Done enough
04:44In terms of
04:47Giving props
04:49To people
04:50Like who work
04:50And
04:52And
04:53And most of the others
04:57Well, I mean
04:58It's just age groups now
05:00You know what I'm saying?
05:01So the younger ones
05:03They don't
05:03You know
05:04They don't
05:05Like when we was young
05:08It was our duty
05:09To do our whole
05:10Homework
05:12And find out
05:13Who's this
05:15Who's this
05:16Who started this
05:17But it's different now
05:20For the new age
05:21Coming up
05:21Because
05:22It's so different
05:23Like they just
05:24Grew up in a different
05:26It just grew up
05:27In a different era, man
05:28You know what I mean?
05:30They know the music
05:31They know the music
05:31But they don't know
05:32The culture of the music
05:34You know what I mean?
05:35So
05:35It's a little different
05:37They
05:38They're not really
05:39Digging
05:39For the forefathers
05:41To see who's what
05:42How this became this
05:43How this evolved
05:44To this
05:45And to what they're doing
05:46They don't do that
05:47They just don't do it
05:48I don't know
05:49I don't
05:50They're not trying to be
05:51They're not trying to be
05:52Disrespectful
05:53They just
05:55Like
05:55This is a different era, man
05:57You know
05:58We grew up
05:58Doing something different
05:59We grew up
06:00Going to the record stores
06:02And looking for vinyl
06:04Yeah
06:04And kicking stuff off
06:06Now they just
06:07Go on the computer
06:08And put it in
06:09And it shows them
06:09So it's no work
06:11It's really no work
06:12So it's just
06:13It's like the smartphones
06:14We came up
06:15We ain't had no
06:16Fucking smartphones
06:17You know what I'm saying?
06:18So it's just different
06:19But
06:20The real culture knows
06:22But there's still some
06:23It's not all
06:24Of the new age
06:25A lot of them
06:26They know
06:26Because of people like me
06:28My uncles
06:29I'm his uncle
06:30You know
06:31They got brothers
06:31They got
06:32To teach them a little bit
06:34But
06:34Nah, it need to be more though
06:37Yeah
06:39Do you think maybe
06:40There needs to be like
06:42Maybe
06:43Maybe we as
06:44Media platforms
06:46We haven't made enough
06:49Efforts
06:49In how to
06:50Document
06:52The history of hip hop
06:53So that it becomes
06:54A bit
06:55Accessible
06:56To the younger
06:57Generation
06:58Right, right, right
07:00Well, I mean
07:00Like you said
07:01You said
07:02A great word
07:02Document
07:03You know what I'm saying?
07:05Like we have to do it
07:06We have to do it
07:07You see what I'm saying?
07:09No one else
07:09Is going to do it
07:10So
07:11Just like everybody
07:12Like going to YouTube
07:13And checking it out
07:14We got to document this
07:16And put this out
07:17So when we talk it
07:19Like why you don't know
07:20We can say
07:21Go ahead
07:22Look at that
07:23Just look at it
07:24And see
07:25You know what I mean?
07:26So we got to
07:26As you know
07:27We got to document it
07:29And don't let no one else
07:31Document it
07:32Who's not in the culture
07:33We got to document it
07:35Yeah
07:36And if
07:38In your experience
07:39Right
07:40If you look at
07:41Boom Bap
07:44Do you feel like
07:44It's still evolving?
07:46Or are we sometimes
07:48What worked in the 90s?
07:54Both
07:55Yeah
07:59Both
08:00Because
08:02I mean
08:04Boom Bap
08:05Boom Bap is what it is
08:06But
08:07Like with me
08:08You know
08:09My guy Vinnie Idol
08:10We do Boom Bap
08:11But we add a little sprinkles on it
08:13You know what I mean?
08:14To evolve it
08:16But we keep the
08:16You know
08:17We keep the core
08:18And there's a couple of people doing it
08:20But then there's a lot of people
08:22That's just
08:23Boom Bap
08:24You know what I'm saying?
08:25Like
08:25Bang it on the table shit
08:27And they want to keep it right there
08:30So
08:32We got both man
08:34You know what I'm saying?
08:35But
08:35We got to evolve the Boom Bap
08:37That's all
08:37A lot of us
08:38A lot of us is doing it
08:39But a lot
08:42Don't want to hear it
08:43They want to keep it
08:44This
08:44Boom Bap
08:45So
08:46Both
08:46You know what I'm saying?
08:47I like to evolve it
08:49I like to keep the
08:50The raw elements
08:51And just add the sprinkles on it
08:53You know what I mean?
08:54So
08:54We in now
08:56Like 2026

18:26That
18:27They just mainly
18:29Focus on one
18:30You know what I mean?

18:56In a different feel
18:57You know what I'm saying?
18:59Like
18:59I don't care about the style
19:00I always

19:44That they want to
19:45To play
19:50Listen man
19:51They making so much money
19:52I don't think they care man
19:53But
19:53Oh
19:54I don't know
19:58I don't even know
19:59If they care man
20:00You know what I'm saying?
20:01They
20:02They
20:02You know
20:03Like I always tell a story
20:06I was in the studio
20:07Before
20:08You know
20:09Bunch of OGs
20:10You know what I mean?
20:11Couple of young ones in there
20:12And they was doing their shit
20:14And
20:15One of the OGs
20:18One of the OGs
20:19Was telling him
20:20Like yo man
20:20You know what I'm saying?
20:21You should do this
20:22You know
20:23And do that
20:23And the young boy said
20:25Yo OG
20:26Respectfully
20:27I'm booked all year
20:29OG
20:30He said
20:31I'm booked all year
20:35What you gonna say after that?
20:39You know
20:39He said
20:40You should do it like this
20:41You should do it
20:41And the young boy said
20:42Respectfully OG
20:43I hear you
20:45But
20:45Look at my dates
20:47I'm booked all year
20:49Yeah
20:50Yeah
20:51So
20:53Man
20:54You gotta let people be
20:56What they do man
20:57You know what I'm saying?
20:58And be creative with it
21:00And
21:01Don't be too tight with it
21:02You just
21:03You rep
21:04The culture
21:04Don't worry about nobody else
21:06Repping the culture
21:08But
21:08Do you not maybe think
21:09Because of
21:11In hip hop
21:12We've been taught to
21:14Have like an ego
21:16Of sorts
21:17Maybe
21:18That could have been
21:19The reason why
21:21Sometimes
21:24That gets in the way
21:25Within the culture
21:28Oh yeah
21:29Hell yeah
21:29That gets in the way
21:30You know what I'm saying?
21:31Because
21:31It's competitive
21:33This is a competitive sport
21:35Regardless of what
21:36I'm talking about
21:38Whatever style you're doing
21:40This shit is competitive
21:42You wanna be the best
21:43This is a
21:44This is an individual sport
21:46It's not a team sport
21:47You know what I'm saying?
21:49So you wanna be the best
21:50You're trying to take
21:51Somebody's head off
21:51You know what I'm saying?
21:52To show them that
21:54You're the best
21:55And then when you get
21:56Everybody to be like
21:57Yo he's nice
21:58Then they're tapping
22:00To your music
22:02Yeah
22:02Because
22:03You could throw something
22:05Out right now
22:06Right?
22:07Music out
22:07You know
22:08They don't get it
22:09They don't get it
22:10But then
22:12You give them
22:13Something they do like
22:15Yeah
22:16Then they'll go back
22:17In your catalog
22:18And then they'll
22:19They'll get you
22:20A little bit more
22:21You see what I'm saying?
22:23So
22:24You know what I mean?
22:25It's just what it is
22:27It's different
22:27It's different
22:28But
22:29This is a number one
22:30Competitive sport
22:31Bro
22:31But like you said
22:33You can't let it get
22:34In the way of the decisions
22:35Or some stuff
22:36You know what I mean?
22:37Because if you're nice
22:38That's when you become
22:39An artist
22:39You gotta remember
22:40You should be able
22:41To be at a certain level
22:42At whatever style
22:43You do man
22:44Be confident in

27:59How to deal
27:59With that
28:00A little better
28:01Now

40:31In the same realms
40:32As the Van Wick
40:34Like
40:34You know what I mean
40:35A little bit like
40:36Alright we going edgy
40:38We going edgy
40:39The Van Putin
40:41You know what it is
40:41Like I don't care
40:42You know what I'm saying
40:44The blue was like
40:45I don't care
40:46You know what I'm saying
40:47So
40:47That's what that was
40:48Always
40:49Always keep it hip hop
40:50With just a little twist
40:52On it man
40:52You know
40:53Yeah

40:56With
40:57The track
40:59Dictator
41:00Yo

41:02The Dictator
41:03And then
41:04That's the intro
41:05You know what I mean
41:06Like
41:07Pullman
41:07I'm a dictator
41:08And I'm just telling you shit
41:10You know what I mean
41:11So that
41:11That shit was just going
41:12Like
41:14Yeah
41:14So that's how I wanted
41:16To set the album
41:17To be like
41:17Oh okay
41:18I get it now
41:19Van Pullman
41:20Start the first song
41:21As the dictator
41:22You know what I'm saying
41:23So you get it
41:25Yeah
41:26And I mean
41:27And I see like you
41:27You've done like
41:28A lot of music videos
41:30Like
41:31Like how do you
41:33How do you have that energy
41:34Wow
41:37I still love it man
41:38You know what I mean
41:40So
41:40If I'm doing it
41:41You as an OG
41:43Yeah
41:44I gotta go full steam
41:45You know what I mean
41:46And
41:47Yeah
41:47I'm like
41:48Yeah
41:48Yeah
41:48Yeah
41:49Why you tired
41:50You know what I'm saying
41:51I'm older than you
41:52Why you tired
41:52You shouldn't be tired
41:54I'm killing shit like this
41:56Why you tired
41:57You know what I'm saying
41:58So
41:59Yeah
42:00I go crazy with the videos
42:02Because I believe
42:04I believe
42:05I can play you a song
42:06Right
42:06I might can play you a song
42:08And you're listening to it
42:10You know
42:10Okay
42:11Okay
42:12You know
42:13You're not
42:13You know
42:14But you're like
42:15Okay
42:15And then I play you the video
42:19You're like
42:19Oh
42:20I like this shit
42:21Oh
42:22Now I get it
42:23Or
42:24It can be vice versa
42:25I can show you the video
42:27And you're like
42:27And then I play you the song
42:30You're like
42:31Yo
42:31This is the same song
42:32Because now you got a visual
42:34Or something
42:35Yeah
42:36And you have people
42:38Who listen to music
42:40All the time
42:40Then you got people
42:42Who don't
42:42But they look at videos
42:43All the time
42:44Yeah
42:46So it gives me
42:48Two chances
42:49To get that song
42:50Across to you
42:52Yeah
42:54Because you might not like it
42:55Then you see this
42:56And you like it
42:57You know what I mean
42:57So
42:58But I believe now
43:00And everywhere

45:59You know what I mean
46:00But
46:00But
46:01But
46:01But my best compliments
46:03Is when it comes from
46:04The younger generation
46:05They be like
46:06Yo OG OG
46:07Be spitting
46:08You be spitting OG
46:09You be talking
46:10You know what I mean
46:10So
46:11If I can get that
46:12I'm good
46:13You know what I mean
46:15Whoa
46:15And
46:16Do you feel like
46:20If you were to
46:23Meet
46:23The young
46:24Teravan pool
46:27Would you have
46:28Something to say to him
46:32Yeah
46:33The younger
46:33Teravan pool
46:34Yeah
46:36Hmm
46:37What would I tell
46:39The younger
46:39Teravan pool
46:40Yeah
46:41They curb
46:43The ego
46:44A little bit
46:48Cause I was
46:49I was ready
46:49To take
46:50Everybody
46:54I didn't see
46:55A lot of shit
46:55Because of my ego
46:57You know
46:57I was always
46:58On tour
46:58You know
46:59So I've seen
47:00A lot of different stuff
47:01When I was younger
47:02Before I got it
47:03You know what I mean
47:03But yeah
47:05I was just like
47:06I'm better than him
47:06I'm nicer than him
47:07I'm nicer than him
47:08And it was like
47:10Get to
47:11Get to know somebody first
47:12You know what I'm saying
47:13Stop going at
47:14Everybody
47:15Yeah that's all
47:16That's all
47:17Because I always
47:18Had a drive for it
47:19You know what I mean
47:19So that's the only thing
47:20I would tell a younger
47:21Teravan pool
47:23He's up
47:23Chill out a little bit
47:24Just chill out
47:25Just chill out a little bit
47:26That's it
47:27Cause I always had the drive
47:29I still got the drive now
47:30So that's self-explanatory
47:31You know what I'm saying
47:34Wow
47:34Wow
47:35And you know
47:36You know
47:37I'm hoping that
47:38One day you guys
47:39Would like
47:39Actually do a documentary
47:41Like
47:41Cause
47:43What you guys
47:45Do at

47:50When I
47:51When I think about you guys
47:54Nathan Wilson
47:57Yo
47:57Sean Price
48:08I don't even have words
48:11To explain it

48:14Few
48:15Few labels
48:16That
48:17That last
48:18Like that
48:18Right
48:20I think
48:20And I think
48:21And I think
48:22Like
48:22The younger generation

48:27Like I said
48:28Right
