• 0:00Patrick Bet-David?

  You were a correctional officer for what, 16 months, 17?

• 0:02Speaker 01

  Nah, much less than that. But whatever the story was, that part of my life, they missed it.

• 0:08Patrick Bet-David?

  They missed it?

• 0:08Speaker 01

  They're half a billion late, man.

• 0:10Patrick Bet-David?

  So I brought on Freeway Rick Ross. Was he the reason why you named yourself?

• 0:13Speaker 01

  He's a crackhead. What are you talking about? Why would a crackhead inspire the boss Rick Ross?

• 0:21Patrick Bet-David?

  History with you and 50, is it better not?

• 0:23Speaker 01

  That's a nice alley hoop you just threw me, but...

• 0:25Patrick Bet-David?

  You gonna take it, or you gonna pass it back?

• 0:27Speaker 01

  I told you I'm a wimpy yama this bitch for you.

• 0:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Enough wimpy yama.

• 0:31Speaker 01

  But nah, homie wash. I took his younger son fishing before.

• 0:34Patrick Bet-David?

  This is when you guys were good?

• 0:35Speaker 01

  I called him Bruce Lee, where?

• 0:39Patrick Bet-David?

  And 50, New Year, taking a fishing?

• 0:40Speaker 01

  The important thing here is 50 Cent's son got to fish.

• 0:44Patrick Bet-David?

  At a great location, Star Island.

• 0:46Speaker 01

  Miami has always been the spot. It's the sunlight, it's the ocean, it's the breeze, the alkaline air.

• 0:54Patrick Bet-David?

  You can keep selling it, by the way.

• 0:56Speaker 01

  You throw me the alley hoop, I got you.

• 0:59Speaker 01

  Hopefully, one day, I become a minority owner in the Miami Dolphins.

• 1:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, really? The CFO is a good friend of mine, Chris. Text him right now. Chris. Would you want to be actively involved?

• 1:09Speaker 01

  What? You think I'm gonna walk around and not be involved?

• 1:13Patrick Bet-David?

  In 06, everybody was bidding for you.

• 1:16Speaker 01

  It was a lot of people who understood my direction. I just made it clear, this wasn't gonna be regular. It's big boy heavyweight shit. Rick Ross collaborations, Chade is number one on the list. For her to do a concert, all she has to do is come out in a white gown, no shoes, and just sit down Indian style.

• 1:35Patrick Bet-David?

  If you're putting it out there, they're probably gonna reach out to you.

• 1:37Speaker 01

  Oh, my God, I would love to go get you a cup of matcha.

• 1:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Would you put Drake at your level?

• 1:46Speaker 01

  Of course not, he's a minion.

• 1:48Patrick Bet-David?

  You're not putting Drake at your level?

• 1:49Speaker 01

  I can see it in your eyes, you might be confused. PBD, come on now.

• 1:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:56Speaker 01

  I catch your alleys.

• 1:58Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm telling you.

• 1:58Speaker 01

  You can't be afraid of a response from a minion.

• 2:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you listen to Iceman?

• 2:04Speaker 01

  I listened to some of it. My engineer was horrendous. This is my fuck who always bringing up Michael Jackson. Where the Billie Jean at?

• 2:11Patrick Bet-David?

  It's fair to say you guys won't be collaborating anytime soon.

• 2:14Speaker 01

  I don't know, your son might wanna go fishing.

• 2:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Rick Ross in the house, how you doing?

• 2:23Speaker 01

  Wonderful, wonderful.

• 2:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, this, this, this book of yours that came out, very different than the other two. Very different.

• 2:30Speaker 01

  Without a doubt.

• 2:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Huh?

• 2:32Speaker 01

  Without a doubt.

• 2:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it's, it's a very, obviously, you know, from the outside, when somebody watches you, your, your, your song, your hits, the stuff that you've had, but I was not expecting for you to come out and talk about a midlife crisis in this book of yours that just came out.

• 2:46Speaker 01

  Why not?

• 2:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, I mean, it's, it's good because it relates to everybody, you know, a lot of other people in business who go through it, they watch someone like you and they automatically think that you have everything figured out for somebody like you to kind of open up and be vulnerable, it relates to everybody, especially in business. But the part that was the interesting thing for me, 100 car collection, is it true that you got your driver's license at 45?

• 3:11Speaker 01

  Let's say, okay, when I was 15, you get your little pre-driver's license.

• 3:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 3:18Speaker 01

  You know, then, you know, you in high school, you get your license, but my license expired after high school and I've never went and renewed them to, you know, a few years ago.

• 3:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it, so you, you did get the license at 15, 16, but you didn't renew it?

• 3:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, in, in high school, I did the little driver's course, boom, they give you the, I forgot what they call it.

• 3:40Speaker 01

  Before your driver's license. You get some shit, some shit like that, you know what I'm saying, at 15, and then at 16, yeah, driver's ed, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and then, um, at 16, they gave me my license, but I never renewed them. But I also went, you know, a long time without driving, so.

• 3:58Patrick Bet-David?

  A long time without driving, so, so literally, you weren't driving?

• 4:01Speaker 01

  Yeah, a long time, you know, I was using drivers, you know what I'm saying?

• 4:04Patrick Bet-David?

  So you didn't need a driver's license?

• 4:05Speaker 01

  I, I didn't, that's what I felt like.

• 4:07Patrick Bet-David?

  What was your first car, by the way, what was the first car you ever had?

• 4:10Speaker 01

  Man, R and P to my grandfather, he gave me a, a 76 Caprice. He knew, he, he, he understood the love I had for Chevys at a young age. So you know, he had him a little small collection, a little spot where they used to work on cars at. So yep, I had a two-door, just like the blue one right here.

• 4:32Patrick Bet-David?

  At what age?

• 4:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, fifteen, sixteen.

• 4:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Fifteen, sixteen years old, first car?

• 4:35Speaker 01

  First car.

• 4:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, did you get your drive and your, you know, competitiveness from your grandfather? Was he one that was, you know, also hustling or where did that drive come from?

• 4:45Speaker 01

  He without a doubt was a hustler. He was, he without a doubt, you know what I'm saying? He was from Clarksdale, Mississippi, and for you to have, you know, automobile motor shop or something, you gotta really be a go-getter.

• 4:58Patrick Bet-David?

  And was he tough? Was it a close relationship where he would toughen you up? Or, you know, where did the toughness come from?

• 5:03Speaker 01

  No, he was really, he was really soft-spoken and really just shared that wisdom. He really shared that wisdom.

• 5:10Patrick Bet-David?

  What did he share with you at a young age?

• 5:11Speaker 01

  No, just a lot of different game. Told me a lot of different stories, just a lot of different, if you're gonna be great, you gotta be great, you know what I mean? Just a lot of different, okay, let me tell you like this. It was, you could sit around and you would hear stories like, yo, they'll tell you how a big boy told them what they would do. A lot of people, let's say if you was a rich, you know what I'm saying? You would put a piece of paper right there on the floor, right? And if you, you have somebody come in, let's say if you interviewing them for something.

• 5:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 5:44Speaker 01

  And if they stepped over that paper, they wouldn't even, it's already done.

• 5:48Patrick Bet-David?

  What does that mean?

• 5:48Speaker 01

  That mean if I gotta tell you to pick that paper up,

• 5:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, I got it.

• 5:52Speaker 01

  you ain't on your A-game.

• 5:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, wow.

• 5:55Speaker 01

  So when you step into someplace, if you see that, you gotta, as you go, you already

• 6:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Unbelievable.

• 6:01Speaker 01

  making moves.

• 6:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow.

• 6:02Speaker 01

  So that's that game you could get from somebody if you a youngster. If you twelve, fifteen years old and you listening to somebody that's sixty, that's the type of game you get. And that's what I absorbed and that's what I apply to the way I hustle now.

• 6:16Patrick Bet-David?

  When did you know you were special? When did you know you had something special in you?

• 6:19Speaker 01

  Shh.

• 6:20Patrick Bet-David?

  How early? Like, you knew something was different about you?

• 6:23Speaker 01

  You know, it wasn't too early because I, at first I had to accept my weaknesses. You know, when I first was in school, I damn near could remember the first day when they gave us a paper and pencil when we was tracing the letters, you know, I would be A, B, and C.

• 6:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Mm-hmm.

• 6:40Speaker 01

  I remember looking around when everybody else understood the instructions.

• 6:47Speaker 01

  The whole class, everybody else tracing the letters A, B, and C. And I was looking around like, damn, I missed all of this. So that's what I had to deal with the first beginning of my life. Okay, I'm not good in math, I'm not this. Okay, my strengths are reading. And I love films, I love showing me something on the screen versus listening to this man talk in front of me. I have nothing in common with these people.

• 7:15Patrick Bet-David?

  In school?

• 7:16Speaker 01

  In school.

• 7:16Patrick Bet-David?

  And what grade, how early was that?

• 7:18Speaker 01

  Shit, first grade.

• 7:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, wow.

• 7:20Speaker 01

  I knew it was a problem then.

• 7:22Patrick Bet-David?

  So who, now, who is feeding confidence into you? Because you're very confident.

• 7:25Speaker 01

  My mother, yeah, my mom.

• 7:26Patrick Bet-David?

  What would she say to you? How did she develop the confidence?

• 7:28Speaker 01

  They don't understand you, William. They don't understand you. I'm talking about the whole school telling me you don't need to be in public schools.

• 7:37Patrick Bet-David?

  She's telling you this?

• 7:38Speaker 01

  No, the school, the principals, everybody else, you know, the people they send to your house to sit down and talk with your parents and try to tell them it's something wrong with this individual. And she's saying, no, you're wrong.

• 7:52Patrick Bet-David?

  And you would see this exchange she's having with them?

• 7:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, I've sat in the, you know, of course, multiple times. And I would watch her defend me.

• 8:01Patrick Bet-David?

  You know who else was like that? The documentary of Kanye, when you watch the role his mom played. His mom was also big on developing confidence in him as well. I don't know if you saw the documentary with Kanye.

• 8:12Speaker 01

  I might have missed it.

• 8:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it was also a similar thing where, you know, the role a mother plays in raising a son and what kind of confidence. So, so you're getting that support. Now, when you're going to school, are you, you know, are you early on rapping? Are you playing sports? What would a Rick Ross, if I was in fifth grade with you or 10th grade with you? Who was Rick Ross in fifth and 10th grade?

• 8:34Speaker 01

  I was the, most definitely a class clown. I was a highly respected, I wasn't on no bully type vibe, you know? But I hit you with a two-piece real quick, you know what I mean? So, give me a little piece of that pizza you eating on, you know what I'm saying?

• 8:53Speaker 01

  You know what I'm saying? But other than that, you know, I used to crack jokes and music was in my life by this time. Cause by this time, yeah, by the fifth grade, you know, I have, you know, friends now. We, we, we got homies and one of my closest friends, his name was Avery Branch. Wherever he at, I've been looking for him for the last few years. He's been featured on two or three of my albums, but he had, what his mom would do was like, you know, kids that had problems, she would adopt them.

• 9:27Speaker 01

  So, you know, it's almost like he had five or six big brothers in his crib. And they were doing music and everything else. So, I was introduced, you know, through my homie, Boom,

• 9:41Speaker 01

  to his big brothers and who had vinyl records, this, that. Oh, so we a rap group? Yeah, y'all a rap group now, okay, so we a rap group, shit, it's all good.

• 9:50Patrick Bet-David?

  And so was that the first time you freestyled? Or what's the first time you freestyled where you're like, okay, this guy can hang?

• 9:57Speaker 01

  You know, my freestyle skills was never like that. I always wanted to put some thought into it. You know what I'm saying? I had homies who would start just spitting, but that never really impressed me. You know what I'm saying? The dudes I was listening to, they were saying things that was damn near mind blowing. So if I walked up to somebody and somebody was like, yeah, my kicks on, hits on, dick's on, Rick's on. Yo, chill out, homie.

• 10:23Patrick Bet-David?

  That's not you?

• 10:24Speaker 01

  Nah.

• 10:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Who, who'd you listen to in fifth grade, like at that age?

• 10:28Speaker 01

  Shit, I was listening to everywhere, east coast, west coast, down south, it didn't matter. Cause you gotta remember, by the time I'm in the fifth grade and I'm listening to Too Short or if it's Eazy-E or if it's N.W.A., it's almost making me feel like I've been to L.A. Of course, I've never been there. But this is where I could sit in my room and imagine, yo, this is what L.A. like. The low riders, the cars, the paint jobs, the gold Dayton's. Corner stores.

• 10:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, they're painting the picture of what LA is like through rap.

• 10:59Speaker 01

  Through music.

• 11:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow. So you're, so, okay, so you're, you just turned fi- uh, how old are you? I just saw that you just had your 50th, right?

• 11:08Speaker 01

  Just celebrated my 50th, I did.

• 11:10Patrick Bet-David?

  50th, happy birthday, happy, uh, 50th is a big deal, man, to go through it. I, I think after like 30, everything's by decades. You celebrate every 10 years, 40, 50, 60.

• 11:18Speaker 01

  Why not? Why not? Yeah, yeah, yeah, fuck it, why not? Celebrate it.

• 11:22Patrick Bet-David?

  But if you're in 5th grade, 5th grade is what, you're 10, 11 years old? So that's 39 years ago. 39 years ago is late 80s?

• 11:33Speaker 01

  Gotta be.

• 11:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Late 80s? So who's late 80s? Cause Tupac hasn't come out yet, late 80s, right? Who short is?

• 11:38Speaker 01

  No, no, no, Tupac hasn't come out yet. So really it was about, it was about Yo MTV Raps.

• 11:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 11:45Speaker 01

  You know, those videos. So after school, I would, soon as we got out of school at 2:30, boom. I may have had 30 minutes to get home before Yo MTV Raps came on. Everything that was on there, I was a fan of. If, if it's East Coast, if it's Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, Leader of the New School, Public Enemy, LL, whatever it is. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm, I done fell in love with it for the music, the creative expression, the fashion, everything, the videos, the artwork, the graffiti, the cars. That shit grabbed me from every angle. It was like an octopus.

• 12:21Patrick Bet-David?

  And it was it sudden, like in 5th grade-ish, or was it?

• 12:24Speaker 01

  It was already gone from, you know, me first hearing music.

• 12:28Patrick Bet-David?

  What, what, what are, for me, there's three songs I listened to where I, you know, all of a sudden I had to stop. I'm like, I cannot believe I'm hearing a voice like this. But what was it for you, maybe one of hip-hop songs where you, you listened to, you're like, this is just different than anything else I've ever heard in my life, especially when you were young?

• 12:44Speaker 01

  It was phenomenal. It was amazing. So growing up in my household, uh, my mom played Johnny Taylor every weekend. Every time we was in the car, we listened to music. So I was just... Exposed to music from before I could even recall. So when you listen to my sounds, the Maybach music, live instrumentation feeling, that expensive orchestra feeling sound, that's where that come from. Me listening to old soulful music, R and B, that was before I could even talk. So by the time rap music, you know, came into play, it was,

• 13:23Speaker 01

  I understood and could blend them both.

• 13:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Rap and R and B?

• 13:26Speaker 01

  Of course. So right now, if I go through my playlist right now, you would, at the top might be Fleetwood Mac, then it might go to goddamn DJ Quick, then it might go, you know, it's just anything you could imagine.

• 13:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Old school R and B or 90s R and B?

• 13:43Speaker 01

  I, I listen to everything.

• 13:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Everything?

• 13:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 13:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, 90s R and B, in my opinion, was the best R and B.

• 13:51Speaker 01

  That's easily, um, I understand that, but it's easily debatable.

• 13:57Patrick Bet-David?

  What would you put comparable to the 90s R and B?

• 14:01Speaker 01

  Man, you gotta go back to.

• 14:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Old school?

• 14:04Speaker 01

  Anita Baker. You gotta go back to, it's like, who do you put next to Anita Baker? Who do you put next to, who, who do you compare from the 90s to, to that? When, when I think about the sound of Sade, who could you compare?

• 14:18Patrick Bet-David?

  She's one of a kind.

• 14:19Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 14:20Patrick Bet-David?

  She's one of a kind.

• 14:21Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 14:22Patrick Bet-David?

  I wish she would perform more, but that's why when she does it, I read somewhere that she doesn't like, uh.

• 14:27Speaker 01

  And I understand.

• 14:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 14:29Speaker 01

  She, she's one of those.

• 14:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Pure artist.

• 14:32Speaker 01

  Oh my God, we gotta protect her with all our.

• 14:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you ever met her?

• 14:36Speaker 01

  Of course not.

• 14:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, you haven't?

• 14:38Speaker 01

  Of course not.

• 14:38Patrick Bet-David?

  You answer that quickly.

• 14:39Speaker 01

  Of course.

• 14:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Intentionally, you don't want to meet her?

• 14:41Speaker 01

  Intentionally, no, never that. Rose would have had a collaboration with Sade if I met her. Stop. I would have went and got her some matcha.

• 14:52Patrick Bet-David?

  So would that be at the top of the list as a collaboration?

• 14:54Speaker 01

  Of course, in human life.

• 14:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow. Sade.

• 15:00Speaker 01

  That's the music, this what I'm trying to talk about. I grew up to, you know, beautiful sounds, sounds that if you close your eyes, it's like you could see them in color. And that's what Sade does for me.

• 15:12Patrick Bet-David?

  I agree. What's your favorite Sade song? I never thought we were gonna talk Sade today. That was not on my top 50 list today.

• 15:19Speaker 01

  It's too many to list for Sade. You, to me, you could just go Sade's greatest hits and let it go.

• 15:24Patrick Bet-David?

  I fully agree.

• 15:26Speaker 01

  Just leave that alone. Play that, that's for anybody listening.

• 15:29Patrick Bet-David?

  I agree.

• 15:29Speaker 01

  You pull up Sade's greatest hits and fall back. Do yourself the biggest favor.

• 15:34Patrick Bet-David?

  One by one, it's never as good as the first time, cherish the day.

• 15:37Speaker 01

  Without a doubt. Never good is the first time, number one. Never good is the first time.

• 15:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Never as good as the first time.

• 15:42Speaker 01

  Greatest song Sade ever created.

• 15:44Patrick Bet-David?

  And, and she's telling you the sto- and I believe her. I believe what she's telling me. But there was a part about her where, you know, she gets uncomfortable. Every time she would announce a concert, it would sell out within like the first, you know, few minutes. You know, because the world wanted to watch her. Imagine how many babies have been born to Sade. You know. So, so who would be your two on the list? If Sade is one, who would be two or three that you haven't collaborated with yet?

• 16:11Speaker 01

  Well, I have collaborated with Mary J. Blige, but most definitely with Sade does, what Anita Baker does, that's too easy. Anita Baker, most definitely, for Rose is like, you know what I mean? It's different. So I just listen to, you know.

• 16:30Patrick Bet-David?

  You just listen to Anita Baker?

• 16:34Speaker 01

  Yes, I listen to, you know, like I say, my playlist is, is different. But when I'm thinking of these voices and Rick Ross collaborations, well, without a doubt, Sade is number one on the list. Her voice, her sounds, um, for her to do a concert, all she has to do is come out in a white gown, no shoes, and just sit down Indian style.

• 16:57Patrick Bet-David?

  So you already visualizing in the

• 17:01Speaker 01

  Oh, I can see.

• 17:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Video, the collaboration?

• 17:02Speaker 01

  It's too easy. It's too easy. I see.

• 17:06Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, if you're putting it out there, they're probably gonna reach out to you.

• 17:10Speaker 01

  Oh, my God.

• 17:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you ever reached out to her?

• 17:14Speaker 01

  Oh, my God. I would love to go get you a cup of matcha.

• 17:25Speaker 01

  It's true, it's true. Even though we, we, we're smiling, Shawty, um, I mean it.

• 17:30Patrick Bet-David?

  What was the movie that her song was a, a big hit in with Demi Moore and Robert Redford? Indecent Proposal. Indecent Proposal. Have you ever seen Indecent Proposal? Do you remember that movie thirty years ago?

• 17:42Speaker 01

  I'm not sure. I remember the title, but that might have been out of Rosé Luke thirty years ago.

• 17:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 17:50Speaker 01

  Indecent Proposal.

• 17:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, there is a scene where, I mean, the main song is ordinary love in the movie and it's Shawty.

• 17:59Speaker 01

  It ma- it makes sense. Whoever scored the music was very smart.

• 18:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 18:04Speaker 01

  Right.

• 18:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Are you a movie guy as well? You watch a lot of movies?

• 18:07Speaker 01

  I love movies.

• 18:08Patrick Bet-David?

  What are your favorite movies?

• 18:11Speaker 01

  Well, my favorite film, Quentin Tarantino was my favorite director.

• 18:15Patrick Bet-David?

  So Reservoir Dogs?

• 18:17Speaker 01

  All of that. Kill Bill.

• 18:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Reservoir Dogs was the first one he did. You know, he did it for four hundred thousand dollars. The guy made like twenty million bucks on Reservoir Dogs.

• 18:25Speaker 01

  He made more than that.

• 18:27Patrick Bet-David?

  On Reservoir Dogs?

• 18:28Speaker 01

  Of course. Shit was legendary.

• 18:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Reservoir Dogs is, is phenomenal.

• 18:32Speaker 01

  Think about it. All they had was black and white suits on the whole time in a warehouse.

• 18:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, in a warehouse.

• 18:39Speaker 01

  That's it.

• 18:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Crazy. So my, my sister's husband is trying to impress my dad. So he comes over to the house, he says, "Oh, I got a movie from Blockbuster. You pick the movie." And he brings Reservoir Dogs. I don't know if you've seen Reservoir Dogs, Rob. I mean, it starts off with four, five hundred F-bombs and my dad's like, "What kind of a son-in-law brings a movie like this for the first time to impress me?"

• 19:01Speaker 01

  He was smart.

• 19:02Patrick Bet-David?

  He was smart. They're still together till today.

• 19:04Speaker 01

  That's what I'm trying to tell you.

• 19:06Patrick Bet-David?

  So he chose C-Mac. Shout out to you if you remember that day. You brought the movie Reservoir Dogs.

• 19:10Speaker 01

  He was smart, man. Number six, S.

• 19:12Patrick Bet-David?

  So Quentin Tarantino?

• 19:14Speaker 01

  Without a doubt.

• 19:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Who else? I know you've called yourself Renzel. So are you a Denzel guy or?

• 19:20Speaker 01

  Oh, Denzel, most definitely.

• 21:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Is he one of the guys that whatever movie he does, you just watch?

• 21:15Speaker 01

  It's most of, I mean, we've watched him be a young man all the way to.

• 21:22Speaker 01

  He's, you know, seventy years old, still, you know, having fights on the trains and fighting the mafia, you know, hits and, and there's not many people that can pull that off and you actually enjoy watching it.

• 21:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 21:37Speaker 01

  I can, I, I enjoy it.

• 21:38Patrick Bet-David?

  I, I don't, I don't know if he's acting. Like, I, I think Denzel was one decision away from being a very different person in his life. Somebody got a hold of him early.

• 21:46Speaker 01

  Oh, he ma- he makes it clear, though. He's been very open about, open about the life he lives, but.

• 21:53Patrick Bet-David?

  His face.

• 21:54Speaker 01

  You could be Denzel, be Denzel at his age and still be the Equalizer, you a motherfucker.

• 21:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Each one of them are better than the other one.

• 22:03Speaker 01

  I love him.

• 22:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. American gangster.

• 22:05Speaker 01

  Two might be my favorite.

• 22:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Two?

• 22:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, Equalizer Two may be my favorite.

• 22:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Is Two the one where he walks up to the guys that took advantage of the girl and walks upstairs to their room and knocks on the door and gives a card and a one, that's Two?

• 22:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 22:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Two was, these revenge.

• 22:21Speaker 01

  When he was the Uber driver.

• 22:22Patrick Bet-David?

  When he was the Uber driver, yeah, that's Two. I confuse it with one and two. Yeah, Two is intense.

• 22:27Speaker 01

  Two was the one.

• 22:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Emo- like, it's, you know, who's the other guy, uh, uh, Rosé that does the revenge movies? What's the guy's name that's Taken? What is the guy's name? Liam Neeson. Liam Neeson. Oh, he does these revenge movies like.

• 22:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, he another seventy-five-year-old that'll kick in the door and kill eight motherfuckers, yeah.

• 22:46Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, allegedly, he's with Pamela Anderson now, so they're, they're, I don't know if you heard about that.

• 22:50Speaker 01

  Pamela's smart.

• 22:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell me why.

• 22:52Speaker 01

  Well, 'cause she with Liam. She got nice boobs, she keep her boobs right?

• 22:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 22:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, and she with Liam.

• 22:59Patrick Bet-David?

  It's important, you gotta, you gotta keep him straight.

• 23:01Speaker 01

  You gotta be smart.

• 23:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. So Pamela's smart.

• 23:04Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh, she's smart. Shout out to the smart women.

• 23:07Patrick Bet-David?

  She one time, uh, did an interview, was a very weird interview, but, you know, it was, her son is, I think, sitting next to her. At the time, he was twenty-eight. And she's talking about how, at the peak of it, when she would go and date guys and they would have sex as if they learned how to have sex through porn.

• 23:26Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 23:27Patrick Bet-David?

  And she said, she had to tell men, this is not how I like to have sex, I want you to have sex with me, I don't want you to think this is a porn movie. So, she said the influence of porn has on young men confuses them what women actually like. What do you think about that?

• 23:44Speaker 01

  I think that was, like I said, she's smart. She was expressing herself and she wanted to be direct on what she wanted. So she wanted to make sure she enjoyed herself instead of someone just joy riding around and she not enjoying. I like that. That was a great idea.

• 24:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah, it's an interesting perspective.

• 24:03Speaker 01

  But when, but when she's, you know, with a boss, you know, he's a shot caller.

• 24:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And Liam's the boss. You're saying you.

• 24:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, without a doubt, me.

• 24:13Patrick Bet-David?

  So shot caller is whatever the shot caller says is what we're doing.

• 24:16Speaker 01

  Oh, most definitely. Even though she's gonna be fine, you're gonna be happy, baby.

• 24:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you ever met Pamela Anderson or no?

• 24:25Speaker 01

  I don't recall. I've been to a few, you know, red carpets, this and that.

• 24:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Right, Rose, your, your book, it's, it's slightly different. It's, you know, it opens up with, you know, the flight. You're, you know, going through a midlife crisis, you're going through a challenge at the time. So, you know, maybe share a little bit of the inside of what got you to a point of realizing you're going through a midlife crisis? What events led to that? Cause you've made the money, you've had the house, you've had the cars, a lot of them. You've traveled, you've had hits after hits after hits. You know, a source man of the year, back to back, nine Grammy nominations. You know, you live in one of the biggest houses with 350,000 gallon pool, if I'm not mistaken. One of the biggest pools in America, the one in Atlanta.

• 25:18Patrick Bet-David?

  You, you've lived a big life. So at what point do you say, after all this, I'm hitting midlife crisis? How does that happen?

• 25:25Speaker 01

  That's when your life is not based on your achievements. None of the swimming pools, the 300 acres, that isn't what you, for myself, based my life or my level of success or... That, that doesn't determine what I'm satisfied with. So when you're a person like myself who still has that, that fire burning, you still have to be creative and creative in a way where you've challenged your greatest work. So that's where you, me talking about a rut or a midlife crisis coming in at, that's me creating music in... You know, where music was at, at that time, you know, it was a lot of more rapper singing than rappers rapping.

• 26:09Speaker 01

  The sounds, the melodies, the production, the 808s, the drums, you know, I love heavy rap music. You know, this is expensive dope boy music that Ricky Rosé. I, I, you know, I rap for the ones that wanna, you know, that plush lifestyle. That's the music that I was making and at the time it felt like the, the game wasn't ready for that. So that's when I began challenging myself and what can I create that the streets is going to appreciate? And so that's where the book come into play at and, you know, I'm releasing my album June 12th, next month, set in stone, because I've put together a body of work that's gonna challenge every album I've ever released.

• 26:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Body, that's gonna be tough. You think it's gonna challenge every album you've ever released?

• 27:00Speaker 01

  Without a doubt, or I would not have released it. That's what I'm talking about. For myself, I don't wanna, I could just rap if I wanted to, but I'm not here for that. Rosé a boss, you know what I'm saying? This is legacy. So when I say set in stone, it's not just, uh, paper and pen. No, this is something that be discussed hundreds of years from now, what Ricky Rosé doing.

• 27:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Wha- what does the 50-year-old Ricky Rosé know that the 30-year-old or the 40-year-old didn't know?

• 27:31Speaker 01

  For the 50-year-old Rosé, no way. You on a hell of a pace, you know what I'm saying? You gonna hit a billion, you know what I'm saying? The 40-year-old Rosé was just understanding what it's like to be wealthy. Now, how do you grow from there? What's next? Okay, you have a, a estate with a hundred rooms with the largest residential pool on 300. Where do you go next? These are all the questions that myself, I'm going down the list and challenging myself. Okay, that's when I bought another piece of property on Star Island. For 37 million, put another 25 million in it. I had two offers of, of 100 million before it was even completed.

• 28:15Speaker 01

  Right across the street from me, Ken Griffin building something worth a billion. So once again, is we're talking about investments. How do you elevate? That's with the music, that's with the brands. Luke Balleh, the potato chips, the books. Everything that I'm doing, I want to challenge myself. So that's where I came to us. No more just being comfortable, being known as a top five lyricist in the game. Now, let's, let's go, let's go higher.

• 28:45Patrick Bet-David?

  So next is billionaire status for you. That's the next phase.

• 28:48Speaker 01

  Without a doubt.

• 28:50Patrick Bet-David?

  What, what excites you at this phase? What, what gets you out of bed at this phase? You got the money, you got the house, you got the cars. What excites you now?

• 28:56Speaker 01

  Of course, man, you, you, you, once again, it's, it's the challenges. I'm, I'm loving, I'm accepting. I was just with the Miami Dolphins. I helped roll out the, the schedule, this year's schedule. So we filmed a lot of content. I met, you know, the coaches, the team, the staff, the players, this and that. And, you know, hopefully one day I'll become a, a minority owner in the Miami Dolphins.

• 29:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, really?

• 29:21Speaker 01

  Why not?

• 29:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 29:23Speaker 01

  We thinking big, right?

• 29:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's good.

• 29:24Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 29:25Patrick Bet-David?

  That's good. I think, I think NFL, the CFO is a good friend of mine of Miami Dolphins. Chris, he's a, um.

• 29:32Speaker 01

  Tell Chris Ricky Rose ready to, you know, tomorrow?

• 29:34Patrick Bet-David?

  I'll text him right now. I'm gonna say, Chris.

• 29:36Speaker 01

• 29:39Patrick Bet-David?

  You want me to tell him you want to be minority?

  Let's just text him right now.

• 29:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I'm gonna do it right now.

• 29:49Speaker 01

  Let him know Rose got the money.

• 29:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so Chris, this is Patrick Bedavid. I got a friend of mine that says he wants to be a minority owner of the, of the Dolphins. A guy named Rick Ross.

• 30:01Speaker 01

  Rick Ross. Shout out to Chris.

• 30:06Patrick Bet-David?

  There you go, Chris. He may want to reach out and become a minority owner. I know you guys, we talked about it last time.

• 30:11Speaker 01

  Big time.

• 30:12Patrick Bet-David?

  So minority owner of, uh, Dolphins.

• 30:15Speaker 01

  Oh, man.

• 30:16Patrick Bet-David?

  That excites you?

• 30:17Speaker 01

  It excites me.

• 30:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, all right. Favorite sport?

• 30:20Speaker 01

  I never imagined being a water boy, but hey, what the hell? For the Dolphins.

• 30:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, they, they, I think there is $7 billion organization valuation wise. They wouldn't take, yeah, he bought it for a billion in 09. What is it? Okay, there was a, Lynn runs a 1% of that. 12 and a half billion dollar valuation today. So 1% on 12 and 1/2.

• 30:41Speaker 01

  No, let's start at 3%.

• 30:43Patrick Bet-David?

  So you want 3%.

• 30:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, let's start at 3%.

• 30:45Patrick Bet-David?

  So you need 375 million for that.

• 30:48Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 30:48Patrick Bet-David?

  To be 3%.

• 30:49Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 30:50Patrick Bet-David?

  So that's a, that's a good start right there.

• 30:52Speaker 01

  Let Chris know.

• 30:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Would you want to be involved? Would you want to be actively involved, decisions, you know, players?

• 30:56Speaker 01

  Rose, I'm, I'mma, I'mma interject myself into the involvement. That's too easy.

• 31:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Automatically.

• 31:04Speaker 01

  What? You think I'mma walk around and not be involved?

• 31:09Patrick Bet-David?

  What, what would you say? What advice? Okay, so who do you like in it? Would you say, let's go get XYZ, let's go get this? Is that how you involve, you want to see? Or you're seeing more marketing? You know?

• 31:20Speaker 01

  Everything. Rose, I got a few ideas. Let's be great.

• 31:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Any players you like?

• 31:27Speaker 01

  Oh, I'm in it.

• 31:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Current players?

• 31:28Speaker 01

  Why not?

• 31:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Who do you like today in the NFL?

• 31:32Speaker 01

  The Dolphins.

• 31:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Player wise?

• 31:34Speaker 01

  Malik, our new quarterback.

• 31:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. So anything with the Dolphins?

  OG receivers?

• 32:02Speaker 01

  Man, Mark Clayton, Mark Dupa.

  Of course. Of course.

  And you move?

• 32:08Speaker 01

  Zach Thomas.

• 32:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you, Zach Thomas is a stud of a guy.

• 32:11Speaker 01

  Legendary.

• 32:12Patrick Bet-David?

  54, right? Was he 53 or 54? I think 54.

• 32:15Speaker 01

  Legend.

• 32:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I just saw him the other day at, um... We were doing a, a trick or treat on Halloween. He's like, hey, are you PBD? I said, I'm, I said, wait, are you Zach Thomas? By the way, he still looks the same.

• 32:29Speaker 01

  That's Zach.

• 32:29Patrick Bet-David?

  He still look, how old is he? 52 years old, he still looks the same.

• 32:33Speaker 01

  Zach, real deal.

• 32:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 32:34Speaker 01

  Real one.

• 32:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Stud of a guy. The guy would run around tackling people. Everybody was frightened of this guy.

• 32:40Speaker 01

  Nah, you're real.

• 32:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Baby elephant.

• 32:42Speaker 01

  Why not?

• 32:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so, uh, uh, by the way, are you fully moved back to Miami? Or are you still going back to Georgia to Miami?

• 32:48Speaker 01

  No, I got real estate in a few other states, but Miami has always been the spot. You know?

• 32:54Patrick Bet-David?

  So over 180 days, you spend more in Miami?

• 32:57Speaker 01

  Without a doubt.

• 32:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that tax purposes? Or is it because this is home?

• 33:01Speaker 01

  No, no, it's because it's the sunlight.

• 33:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 33:04Speaker 01

  It's the ocean. It's the breeze, the alkaline air. Yeah.

• 33:12Patrick Bet-David?

  You can keep selling it, by the way. This is, you know.

• 33:15Speaker 01

  Why not?

• 33:15Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it's an easy place to sell.

• 33:17Speaker 01

  Thank you. You told me to Ali Hoop, I got you.

• 33:21Patrick Bet-David?

  So, you sound like you could run for governor one day and sell Florida and get a bunch of people to move.

• 33:26Speaker 01

  No thanks, no thanks, no thanks.

• 33:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Not interested in that space.

• 33:28Speaker 01

  Just the dolphins, let's get to 3%.

• 33:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's get to 3%, 3%. And so, going back to early on when we were talking about 5th grade, 10th grade. So, first time, because when I see the story in 06 or 07, everybody was bidding for you before your song came out.

• 33:49Speaker 01

  It was, it was a lot of people who understood my direction. But, once I released Every Damn Hustling, that's when the bidding war turned all the way up.

• 34:01Patrick Bet-David?

  So, the bidding war is after Every Damn Hustling?

• 34:03Speaker 01

  The facts.

• 34:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it.

• 34:05Speaker 01

  Facts.

• 34:05Patrick Bet-David?

  And then, and who, who did they, like, what was it? Was, so the leverage for you was the fact that you earned a moral authority, that I got a hit? Because you sold some, 200,000.

• 34:15Speaker 01

  And not just a hit, this is one of the biggest records of the year, without a doubt. And the streets felt that immediately.

• 34:23Patrick Bet-David?

  How quickly did life change for you? Was it an overnight thing?

• 34:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, without a doubt.

• 34:28Patrick Bet-David?

  And what did you feel?

• 34:28Speaker 01

  Soon as the record came out, I understood. That's when every executive in the industry reached out directly.

• 34:36Patrick Bet-David?

  How did they treat you before it? How did they treat you after it?

• 34:40Speaker 01

  Well, you know, it wasn't the way they treated me before it, because we had no communication. You know? I was just an independent, local Miami artist. The day I released Every Damn Hustling, maybe two weeks later at the most, I had spoke to the top 10 executives in the industry.

• 35:02Patrick Bet-David?

  What do they tell anyone they're calling you?

• 35:04Speaker 01

  We want to do business with you.

• 35:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Open-ended.

• 35:06Speaker 01

  Right then, what do you need?

• 35:08Patrick Bet-David?

  This is what, this is in 08, 06?

• 35:10Speaker 01

  No, 06.

• 35:11Patrick Bet-David?

  06, so who were the players at the time that, is it Lior? Is it Cohen?

• 35:15Speaker 01

  Lior without a doubt. Lior, but I allowed Lior to manage me for a year just because of the conversations we were having.

• 35:23Patrick Bet-David?

  In 06?

• 35:24Speaker 01

  Facts.

• 35:25Patrick Bet-David?

  So who else called? Who were the heavyweights that called?

• 35:27Speaker 01

  Everybody. Tom Wally, Tommy Mottola, LA Reid.

• 35:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Tommy's also local here now.

• 35:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, shout out to Tommy Mottola, that's my guy.

• 35:35Patrick Bet-David?

  LA Reid, Tommy Mottola.

• 35:37Speaker 01

  Yes, the list goes on.

• 35:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Who was the most attractive?

• 35:41Speaker 01

  Well, you know, I was pretty, I was pretty frank, you know, straight up. I want the Mounyan, who's coming with the most money, baby? In the first conversations, we began at seven figures. And then just from there, you know, I went, met a few people. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool. When I sat down with LA Reid and Jay-Z, rest in peace to Shakir Stewart, that's where I closed the deal at, Def Jam.

• 37:14Speaker 04

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the HouseMajorityPac.com. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

• 37:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Did they pay more than anybody else? Or did they sell the dream big?

• 37:48Speaker 01

  Oh, everybody had the... It was clear where I ultimately was gonna stop at. It was about the money. But everybody, I made it clear what I needed as in support-wise and what my plan was music-wise. And I just wanted them to understand this is not just a one-record, one-off type of thing. I'm finna have a classic album. Then my second album is gonna be this way. So I need everybody to see the vision. This ain't just one record. I know how that shit go. This is why I'm hot. This is why... You know, all those records came and went? No, this ain't that. This big-boy heavyweight shit. And I made that clear.

• 38:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Who was most impressive to you? Where you said, "Man, if the money was there, I may have gone with them." Or was your mind made up? "I'm gonna go with Jay-Z. I'm gonna go with..."

• 38:40Speaker 01

  No. I gave everybody that I sat wrong with. I had an open door. You know what I mean? We having conversations. We talking business. We talking just moves. You know? How we gonna make this happen?

• 38:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Was anybody super like... Was... Did anybody's approach... Was anyone's approach so memorable that you remember till today? Or were we all the same way?

• 39:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Because you're the guy everybody wants at the time. So they have to have their unique presentations.

• 39:08Speaker 01

  Everybody did. That's what I'm saying. Everybody came the way they wanted to come. But let's say Shakir Stewart, Jay-Z, L.A. Reid. We spoke a lot more than just music.

• 39:22Speaker 01

  You know, they understand. You see the potato chips, you see the champagnes, it's, you know.

• 39:28Speaker 01

  Of course, music was the priority, but I just made it clear, this wasn't gonna be regular. Did I know it would be twenty years later and we would be having this conversation? Of course not. But I knew that this wasn't gonna be a one album thing.

• 39:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Did anyone say anything that turned you off? We were like, "I'll never do business with those guys."

• 39:49Speaker 01

  Not really. Not really, because I was just focused on the things that I wanted. And I'm sure a lot of people ain't understand it. I'm sure when I went into, flew out to Cali and walked into Tom Wally Mansion, I'm sure he was like, "Yo, this motherfucker might be crazy." Because I am borderline delusional. Of course I am. And if you coming from Miami and your record is "Every Damn Hustling", and you telling the motherfucker, "Yo, right off the rip, yo, I need seven figures", I'm in your living room and then I'm eating out your snack bar and he'll pour me a drink. "Yo, this rosé, niggas need some tequila."

• 40:29Speaker 01

  I'm sure that Dave was, yo, this motherfucker, yeah, you got rib eye, yeah.

• 40:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Was Diddy one of them as well? That was, uh, because it was everybody at the time.

• 40:41Speaker 01

  It was everybody at the time, without a doubt. One of my homeboys, Big Block, he had a deal with Diddy for Bad Boy South. And I was on the record, they released, that's Young Jeezy and, uh, Boys in the Hood. He had released the album Boys in the Hood, and I was on one of the records, on Boys in the Hood. So that's what Diddy heard, you know, heard my skills. Niggas was really hearing my flow. It wasn't about popularity, it was really about talent. We didn't have social media. So they, they playing your records, "Let me hear what you're talking about." And once everybody heard me, shit, I was popping, they understood. This was heavyweight.

• 41:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, when, when your first release in "Every Damn Hustling", who owned it? Who owned that one? That specific track?

• 41:26Speaker 01

  Well, the producers was the runners. My homeboy Josh, Josh Burke, shout out to Josh Burke. He was, um, working along with Ted Lucas and Slip and Slide Records. I had signed a deal with Slip and Slide Records. And so he brought me the beat for "Every Damn Hustling." And that night, I wrote the first verse. Trina had a show in Tampa. I drove up to Tampa just to play that record.

• 41:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Mm-hmm.

• 41:56Speaker 01

  And I rapped the first verse. And I just remember the look that I got from this one individual. A guy looked at me and he had his mouth open and he was just like, "Damn, do it again."

• 42:11Speaker 01

  And that's when I wrote the second verse, went home and recorded it. A week later, I released it.

• 42:16Patrick Bet-David?

  So independently yourself?

• 42:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm still just, it's, you know, Slip and Slide, an independent record label. But, you know, I've recorded it, released it, and shit, everybody had to catch up at that point.

• 42:27Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the spread and, uh, split into revenue at the time?

• 42:30Speaker 01

  Um, I don't even recall what the split was. Cause at that time, I understood it wasn't based on the split or the percentages then, because I was just getting in the door. I just wanted to lock them in and make them commit to supporting and investing just a little bit. And I knew once I was, once I released the music that I was capable of making, the big money would come into play.

• 42:54Patrick Bet-David?

  So that first song, when Jay-Z and those guys came and signed you, did they get that song or the first song is owned by someone else?

• 43:01Speaker 01

  No, it was, it was owned by me and Slip and Slide Records.

• 43:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it. Till today?

• 43:06Speaker 01

  Facts.

• 43:07Patrick Bet-David?

  And it's still giving you revenue every year, that song?

• 43:09Speaker 01

  Facts.

• 43:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you, do you have an idea what that specific song 20 years later is making?

• 43:13Speaker 01

  Shit, no. It's still a hit. It still shakes the arenas. It still shakes.

• 43:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, yeah. It's one of the greatest songs of all time.

• 43:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, without a doubt.

• 43:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it's not even close.

• 43:23Speaker 01

  But once you accu, once you accumulate a catalog like mine, it's, you're not just looking at one record. You're just looking at the overall vibe, you know?

• 43:31Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so pre, so pre that song coming out, are, do you at the time have money in the bank? Are you, you know, you at least have a hundred thousand in the bank? Do you have fifty thousand in the bank or not yet?

• 43:41Speaker 01

  I was most definitely, you know, that's when I was riding around hustling, doing my thing. I had my BMW. I had my crib already. Two-story crib, garage, you know, just, you know, I was doing my thing. But most definitely, once I released the record, I got the deal, seven figures up front. Then that entire year, I was doing shows, three shows a day, five days a week.

• 44:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Stop it.

• 44:06Speaker 01

  Yeah, and I was just stacking my money.

• 44:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Three shows a day, five days a week?

• 44:11Speaker 01

  Shit, I was on gold.

• 44:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Good for you.

• 44:13Speaker 01

  Everywhere wanted me to stop by. If I got booked in St. Louis, there would be someone else. Can you stop by here before then? Could you come by here after then? Can you come to our restaurant? We'll have you, you know, would you come eat some spaghetti with us? We'll give you 15K just to have a plate of spaghetti and take the pictures.

• 44:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Good for you.

• 44:34Speaker 01

  You know, just all of that. So, that first year, I went crazy. I stacked my money up.

• 44:39Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the, what's the first big thing you bought? And what's the one thing you bought that was the first dumb purchase you made?

• 44:49Speaker 01

  You know, my whole thing was, I liked to dump lumps in the real estate. You know, that was some game. Like I said, my mom then gave me that type of game. So, of course, I always spent money. I always indulged in jewelry and, you know, whips and cars. But for me, it was, it was, believe it or not, valuable investments.

• 45:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Valuable investments.

• 45:14Speaker 01

  Right. I got returned for my jewels. It was, it was, it, it became one of those things. People were paying me to come and they, it's almost like they just wanted to look at me and take a picture of me like, yo, this shit is really real. You know what I'm saying? And then when I get to Rosé, did you wear that, the dot, the ring, the this? You know, it's almost like, yo, it was different. It was different. It was different. I was a different situation.

• 45:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Before every day I'm hustling, who knew in Miami that there's something that's gonna happen with you? I mean, cause Miami's got names as well. It's got a lot of good names that came out of here.

• 45:49Speaker 01

  Right, right, right.

• 45:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Who knew there's something special about this?

• 45:51Speaker 01

  Before every day I'm hustling.

• 45:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Before.

• 45:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, Luke knew. DJ Khaled knew. If you was a local rapper, if you was a local artist, they knew the big boy in the city is Rosé. Now, was the, is the country ready for this? Is the rap game ready for this? Because once again, we come from, you know, a party city. Beats that's 130 miles, bitches got on bikinis, woo! You know, just all of that shit. And I'm talking about getting money. I'm talking about real estate. I'm talking about mansions. You know what I'm saying, I want jets and shit. I wanna do a lot of different investments, which was, you know, a lot different from the norm.

• 46:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Would you say if Biggie would have lived on, he would have been a dream selling rapper, instead of like correcting an injustice like Tupac? Cause Tupac talked about the problems. Biggie sold the dream.

• 46:42Speaker 01

  You know, they both to me, they both, you know, they both was the greats at the end of the spectrum and they balanced the game out, you know? We, we both, they both made it clear what the value of family was, also what wealth was like. Big most definitely, you know, painted that image in that picture, those Versace button ups and, you know, but, but at the end of the day, it's about going to get it. So they both was telling you to go and get it. You gotta invest in yourself. You gotta make it happen. You know what I mean?

• 47:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Tupac apparently never really made money when he was doing it. He made some money, but apparently he never made, uh, a lot of money. At the time, hip hop was different.

• 47:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, it, you know, what was unfortunate to me was the fact that they both were really were kids, man. You know, you 23 years old, 24 years old, you know, and I'm speaking for both of them, you know what I'm saying? You, you lose your life, you didn't give, you, you, they both were priceless. If they both lived a long, healthy life, they both would be, I'm talking about, it's unbelievable how much money they generated. Multiple billions, both of them, billions and billions and billions.

• 47:52Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a good point because your, yours first was 30. So probably at that time, you're, uh, you know how the game is played and how people get taken advantage of. So you're probably tougher to take advantage of than maybe they were.

• 48:03Speaker 01

  You most definitely gotta learn. It's no one that's with you when it's, you, you, it's time to talk about, yo, record deal, this, that, this, that. It's no one, yo, you just gotta stress the important things to you. Yo, you gonna provide the studio, you gonna do this for me? Yo, just be ready. And in my mind, I already know, yo, I'm gonna get a major label to come step into and take over this situation and we gonna tax them. The local label is cool. I get it. I get it. I get it. So that 30K advance for six albums, I wasn't tripping. I get it. But what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna stir and create so much disruption

• 48:46Speaker 01

  and create so much value where the big boy is gonna come in and say, yo, Rick Ross, boom, we gonna give you five million. What you wanna do?

• 48:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Who was in your ear? Who was whispering in your ear, hey, be careful, they're gonna try to do this. Hey, ask for this. Who played a mental role?

• 49:02Speaker 01

  Nobody really. Nobody cared about that shit. It was about the music. For one, first and foremost, before the record deal even important, do you really have something that's valuable?

• 49:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 49:14Speaker 01

  Or you would be like the other thousands of artists who get record deals and six months later, you never heard from them again.

• 49:22Patrick Bet-David?

  You're talking about the one-hit wonders?

• 49:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, and even the ones that never had one hit. You get a record deal, but you don't have one hit. Now what? You were fortunate. The one-hit wonders were fortunate that they had one hit. I know so many people that got signed and never had a hit. Now you just move on. So now, that's the focus when you're a young artist. It wasn't even about the record deal. I wanna make it a fucking record. And I wanna create a record that the fucking world wants to hear.

• 49:55Patrick Bet-David?

  So you are both on the talent side and you're also, you're a triple threat because you have the personality, you got the business experience, and you're a talent. So Jay-Z's one. There's not too many of you guys that you also have an ear. What's the recent movie that came out by Denzel where he was known as having the best ear in the game?

• 50:15Speaker 01

  Right. He was the CEO in the game and it was ASAP Rocky in the film.

• 50:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Right, ASAP Rocky's in the film.

• 50:20Speaker 01

  I watched the film, maybe a month ago.

• 50:22Patrick Bet-David?

  What was it called? What was it called? It's Highest to Lowest. Yeah, which by the way, interesting because, you know, and he talks about how he's... But he was not a guy that was a talent. He was just an ear. He would be able to see it.

• 50:34Speaker 01

  An executive.

• 50:36Patrick Bet-David?

  An executive, exactly. Uh, so, how much of it is personality? How much of it is talent? How much of it is connections? How much of it is work ethic? How much of it is your fashion? How much of it is your look? What, where would you rank it? When you look at somebody and say, this is a guy, because you've had who? You've had French Montana.

• 50:57Speaker 01

  I've done.

• 50:57Patrick Bet-David?

  You've had me. You've had a lot of guys.

• 50:59Speaker 01

  Right, right, right.

• 51:00Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you look for?

• 51:01Speaker 01

  I think first and foremost for me, what's most valuable to me is, um, how dedicated are you? Are you willing to work fifteen hours a day when it's time to? Are you willing to do that? Because you could have the fashion, you could have the style, you could have the music. But if you're not really dedicated, it won't last. You know how many artists that's talented and gifted and they're gone? They're gone. And why is that? You gotta have a consistent understanding, that passion has to burn. Because when I first got in the game, I wasn't the most talented. I wasn't the most this.

• 51:45Speaker 01

  I wasn't first in this. I was never the perfect this, that, this, that, no. But what I was, was the ultimate hustler. We not gonna stop until we get this done. We not gonna stop until we make this shit amazing. We gonna stay in here until this shit sounds like it's, yeah. So that's what separated me from the others. So that's what I look for when it's time for me to really appraise another artist or look at another artist and the gift and, you know, how consistent are they?

• 52:17Patrick Bet-David?

  How long does it take for you to realize that this guy's got it or not?

• 52:20Speaker 01

  Not long.

• 52:24Speaker 01

  I mean, once you present yourself, yo, that's what I'm here for. This the music, this the this, this the this. Okay, then the rest of the questions come with it. Do you have the video to go with it? The social media on go? Is you have a team? Is it just you by yourself? You know, are you already generating income? Can you buy your own outfits? It's a long list.

• 52:47Patrick Bet-David?

  You're asking all those questions.

• 52:48Speaker 01

  No, it's just, no, you have to, I have to see it. Rose, they don't got time to ask you. That's just like if you walking into the room and you step over the paper on the floor. If you're not gonna pick it up and make it, make the situation better, there's no need for you. I'm not asking you nothing.

• 53:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it.

• 53:04Speaker 01

  I have to see it.

• 53:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you calling around as well to learn about the individual or no?

• 53:08Speaker 01

  Nah, I gotta see it. I gotta feel it. Streets gotta call me.

• 53:15Patrick Bet-David?

  So who, who's the biggest risk you took on?

• 53:18Speaker 01

  Shit, everybody. It's all a risk. Because you never know who's gonna really break, who's gonna really pop, who's gonna really work. You, you might sign a, a super talented individual and guess what? He has twins on the way now.

• 53:37Speaker 01

  He doesn't have time for the studio. He doesn't have time for the interviews, the podcast, the this, the that. Guess what? His call is over for him. Unless he goes and prove otherwise. But you have to be totally dedicated to this.

• 53:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you watch a game last night with Wemby and, uh, OKC?

• 53:55Speaker 01

  I did.

• 53:56Patrick Bet-David?

  What did you think about Wemby last night?

• 54:00Speaker 01

  He was cool. He was cool.

• 54:03Patrick Bet-David?

  You're not a, I'm assuming you're not a San Antonio fan? Like, that's not your team. You're probably a Heat fan.

• 54:08Speaker 01

  I'm a Heat fan without a doubt, but I thought OKC was gonna pull it off.

• 54:12Patrick Bet-David?

  I thought so as well. What did you think about that three? The three he hit from the, I don't know if you saw the three he hit in overtime or in, you know, fourth quarter? Wemby all the way from the logo? Did you see that or no?

• 54:26Speaker 01

  I missed that.

• 54:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, let me tell you, he hit this. He walks up and he just hits it. And they interview him afterwards. Okay, Rob, can you pull up the interview afterwards with Wemby? And there's a reason why I'm asking this question. By the way, the CFO already responded. Uh, and he says, "Small world." I actually sat with his son at Super Bowl several years ago. The social media the other day was incredible. He even made Steven Ross very funny. Okay, how far my friend, God bless. So, there you go. So, I don't know what that means, but,

• 54:55Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 54:56Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what he's talking about?

• 54:57Speaker 01

  You'll text him again.

• 54:58Patrick Bet-David?

  You're gonna text him again?

• 55:00Speaker 01

  Rose, they want to talk about the 3%.

• 55:02Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, I just want to let you know, he wants to talk about 3% of the Dolphins. That's what he wants to talk about.

• 55:08Speaker 01

  Yes, yes, yes, yes.

• 55:10Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, so I'll put you guys in contact.

• 55:12Speaker 01

  Too easy.

• 55:13Patrick Bet-David?

  So, there's an interview that he does, and I want to get your take on this. Wimby, after the game, there's a question they ask him. Yeah, that's the one right there. Okay, can you make that bigger, Rob? And then turn out, go for it.

  Your mind at all, knowing that Shay had got that award and you were in the top three for it? And, you know, did any part of tonight feel personal? Some of your facial expressions kind of looked like you were really, really going for it. Yeah, for sure. Everything you just said. If that was in your mind at all?

• 58:30Patrick Bet-David?

  So this guy had a chip, because they gave the MVP yesterday to SGA. And he had a pretty good season. How much does a chip play a role in a guy willing to go until he gets what he wants? Or you don't think there's a...

• 58:42Speaker 01

  And when you say chip, what exactly do you...

• 58:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Chip on a shoulder. Like you're coming up and somebody didn't believe in you. Somebody said no to you. You know, someone who maybe due to favoritism got something that you felt you were doing better. How much does that chip? Like, right here, Wemby feels like he's the best player in the world, and he wants to keep getting better. They're the champions. He's the two-time MVP. But he responds this way to say, look, that was it. And then later on, he says, I'm gonna, I plan on winning a lot of MVP trophies in my career. But he wants to be a champion right now. So the DNA, how do you read the DNA of a guy that's willing to pay the price and he's super competitive?

• 59:23Speaker 01

  Well, Wimby most definitely played a major role in him pulling it off without a fucking doubt. So he's exemplifying him really wanting to chip, him really wanting to be great. But once again, just like all ladders of success, he has a lot more to prove.

• 59:46Speaker 01

  Every room we step in, there's gonna be people in that same room that doubt you. Regardless of how many points you shoot, how many dunks you make, you know? Because the same way he hit that three in overtime, those couple finger rolls he missed, those Caruso took a steal from, you know? It's a lot of people that's gonna focus on that. So you still got to prove yourself to everybody that's sitting back watching. And most definitely, when you're on a global platform, that's what it is. This is a competitive game. It's called life.

• 1:00:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Who's the first big name that targeted you when you started getting momentum? Who's still, because you know, there's a lot of beef in rap and you've had many of them. You've had 50 Cent, Drake.

• 1:00:36Speaker 01

  It wasn't no one that really targeted me. It was, it's a good chance I initiated it.

• 1:00:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it.

• 1:00:45Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:00:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Intentional.

• 1:00:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:00:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you ever read the book Forty Laws of Power?

• 1:00:49Speaker 01

  I have. I know Robert Greene personally.

• 1:00:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Great guy. He's a friend.

• 1:00:55Speaker 01

  He just posted my new book that I just released for me. Thank you, Robert. Most definitely.

• 1:01:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, so do you think there's a lot of that going on in hip hop? Forty Laws of Power, the things he talks about?

• 1:01:07Speaker 01

  Um, it may be a little bit of it, but it'll be a lot more success. It'll be a lot more wealth if they was really focused in the way they should.

• 1:01:17Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you mean?

• 1:01:18Speaker 01

  I mean, it's a lot of, it's a lot of fucked up things going on. It's a lot of losses being made.

• 1:01:23Patrick Bet-David?

  In hip hop?

• 1:01:24Speaker 01

  Of course. Life, period. But most definitely in hip hop, we see people going to prison every day. We see people losing their lives every day.

• 1:01:34Speaker 01

  Talking about getting to the money before they lose their power. Playing by the rules, being great.

• 1:01:40Patrick Bet-David?

  So you you have a rare combination because early on, a lot of, you know, when the story came out, you were a correctional officer for what, the eighteen months or whatever you did, sixteen months, seventeen, eighteen months?

• 1:01:50Speaker 01

  Nah, nah, it was shit, much less than that. But whatever the story was, that shit, they're half a billion late, man.

• 1:01:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Half a billion late?

• 1:02:00Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:02:01Patrick Bet-David?

  But you have a street life and you have a little bit of that. How does that happen?

• 1:02:06Speaker 01

  That's Rosé being a hustler. There's not many people that could understand that.

• 1:02:13Patrick Bet-David?

  I think I actually can because there's an element of understanding the law if you go to it. Was that the intention originally?

• 1:02:22Speaker 01

  Not at all, not at all. Just hustling, just hustling.

• 1:02:29Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, look, I I read somewhere that you were making twenty-three thousand, twenty-eight thousand as a as a correctional officer, so it's not like it was paying very well.

• 1:02:39Speaker 01

  Oh, man, I was hustling, man. And, you know, that's how hustlers respond to that. It's much deeper than rap, baby. Much, much deeper than rap.

• 1:02:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell me more. Tell me when you say much deeper than rap.

• 1:02:57Speaker 01

  I'm letting you know that's how hustlers, a boss like myself, respond to that. It's not much more to even say. They missed that part of my life, they missed it.

• 1:03:10Patrick Bet-David?

  The the part about the hustling?

• 1:03:11Speaker 01

  Oh, man. It's too easy.

• 1:03:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Which which part? That they missed it or the life was too easy?

• 1:03:20Speaker 01

  Oh, they most definitely missed it. Now what they could do is listen to the music. They could read the books and just close their eyes and just imagine.

• 1:03:32Patrick Bet-David?

  What it was like?

• 1:03:34Speaker 01

  Oh, man, what it, most definitely.

• 1:03:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it. And, and how, how important is the game of hip-hop? I came up in L.A., I lived in L.A. twenty-something years. So for me, my hip-hop was Arby El Posse, Rappin' Forte, Too Short, Master Ace, I don't know if you remember Master Ace, the I.N.C. ride, right? It was, um...

• 1:04:00Speaker 01

  Of course, shout out to Master Ace, too.

• 1:04:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, he's phenomenal. It was, uh, uh, who's the first Mexican rapper that got a half a million dollars from, uh, Suge? Uh, uh, the East Side Rendezvous, what was his name? Um, my God, I can't remember, Kid Frost, I don't know if you remember Kid Frost?

• 1:04:15Speaker 01

  I do remember Kid Frost.

• 1:04:17Patrick Bet-David?

  It was, uh, Lighter Shade of Brown, if you remember Lighter Shade of Brown, maybe you don't. It was, it was these guys. And on the R&B side, it was, you know, um...

• 1:04:26Speaker 01

  This is La Raza.

• 1:04:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Jodeci, yeah, This is for La Raza, that's right. That was a, that was a great hit, right?

• 1:04:32Speaker 01

  It was.

• 1:04:32Patrick Bet-David?

  And there was almost, how, how big of a role does it play that you, you have street credit, that you've, you've had that life? How big of a role that, does that play?

• 1:04:45Speaker 01

  Um, I think, first and foremost, the music is the most important part. Because these, you know, the...

• 1:04:56Speaker 01

  I can only imagine, I don't see really a lot of street in the ones that's making the music. They could discuss it, they could, you know, speak on behalf of their, where they from, their city, this or that. But as far as the music, first and foremost, now what goes on behind the scene and how you move, are you really a boss? Are you really, you know, strong enough to be able to make these moves and the streets accept it? You know, that's something totally different.

• 1:05:27Patrick Bet-David?

  That's some totally different. So the street accepts the street credit or not?

• 1:05:34Speaker 01

  The streets, for me, will most definitely play a role in, um, streets. You understand? The streets gonna play a role in the streets. And if you're an artist, first and foremost, your music, your craft, and your gift is what's most important. How far you go after that, that's between you and the streets.

• 1:06:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, Rose, who did you meet in the game? Because you give me the vibes of a very driven, competitive guy.

• 1:06:09Speaker 01

  Facts.

• 1:06:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Who did you meet in the game where you said, "These are the five real OG players? These are the guys I'll be competing with the next couple of decades."

• 1:06:20Speaker 01

  You know, for me and the way I move, I necessarily don't even pit myself against or competing against the legends. So to me, that's like me saying I would compete against Big. I would never do that.

• 1:06:35Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't see you as that.

• 1:06:36Speaker 01

  I would never compete against Pac. I would never compete against Jay-Z. I would never compete against, you know, Luke Records in no kind of aspect because that's where I got the game from. You know what I'm saying? That's the love and the respect that I have, but, um, anybody else? It's not really nobody that's on my level for me to go against.

• 1:07:01Speaker 01

  It's nothing to go against.

• 1:07:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Nobody at your level?

• 1:07:04Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:07:05Patrick Bet-David?

  So you're giving the praise to Jay-Z, to, uh...

• 1:07:10Speaker 01

  The ones who raised me, the ones who showed me the game. You know what I'm saying?

• 1:07:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:15Speaker 01

  Yeah, the ones who I really absorb the most game from. You know what I mean? When I was listening to Too Short record, you know, when I run into these dudes, when I just, I just announced yesterday that Scarface is performing at my car show, June 13th. It's like Scarface, I would never go against Scarface. I, you know, he got 20 records out. I listened to all of them. I bought them all.

• 1:07:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Didn't he do something with Tupac?

• 1:07:45Speaker 01

  Of course.

• 1:07:46Patrick Bet-David?

  I got keys coming from overseas, right?

• 1:07:48Speaker 01

  No, no, no, no. That's all eyes on me with Tupac, but Scarface and Tupac, they most definitely.

• 1:07:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, I remember this song. What's the song with him and Tupac? Rob, can you pull up the song Scarface did with Tupac? The moment I hear the lyrics, I know which one it is. Smile. Smile. Oh man, niggas just smile. Is that the one?

• 1:08:10Speaker 01

  That's it.

• 1:08:11Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the one?

• 1:08:11Speaker 01

  That's one of them.

• 1:08:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, cuz they did a couple of them, right?

• 1:08:14Speaker 01

  Facts.

• 1:08:15Patrick Bet-David?

  That's 97, 30 years ago. So, so, so, so you, would you consider yourself a fan of the game as well? Like you say, I listen to his. So who do you listen to? Who are people that you listen to that maybe they're even current players?

• 1:08:29Speaker 01

  I just told you, my playlist is, that's Rosé. Old school as well is just the dope classic. You know, I just mentioned, I mentioned DJ Quick earlier. So from the west coast to the east coast, of course, all down south.

• 1:08:45Patrick Bet-David?

  But like, did you listen to Andre 3000, OutKast?

• 1:08:47Speaker 01

  Of course, that's crumbling nerve. You can't, it's nobody that could not listen to OutKast, you know what I'm saying? So that's automatic.

• 1:08:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Those guys, that album was just, it's another one of those Shawty ones that you just, just play it. Just let it go and it just, you can listen to every song.

• 1:09:02Speaker 01

  Of course.

• 1:09:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:04Speaker 01

  Trick Daddy, that's everything. My playlist jumped from, you know what I'm saying?

• 1:09:12Speaker 01

  My shit is, Rosé shit is special.

• 1:09:17Speaker 01

  That's just my sound.

• 1:09:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Is your playlist public or is it a private playlist?

• 1:09:21Speaker 01

  I don't even know.

• 1:09:22Patrick Bet-David?

  You gotta make your playlist public. Of course.

• 1:09:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Is this PM Dawn? Who is this?

• 1:09:29Speaker 01

  Of course, that's PM Dawn.

• 1:09:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, PM Dawn. You know what's my favorite? What a great song.

• 1:09:34Speaker 01

  It's amazing.

• 1:09:36Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what's my favorite PM Dawn song? It's, not that one, the other one. What's this one you're playing?

• 1:09:43Speaker 01

  It's EPMD, please listen to my demo. And for, you know, music lovers like myself, I was young when I heard this and realized there wasn't no, no kicks, no drums. It was just a loop.

• 1:09:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh huh.

• 1:09:58Speaker 01

  I don't even know if his producers got to know that.

• 1:10:03Patrick Bet-David?

  You gotta make your playlist public.

• 1:10:09Patrick Bet-David?

  My kids love this song. Phenomenal song.

• 1:10:14Patrick Bet-David?

  The guy, remember the guy, the skateboard guy with this guy? I don't know if you know which one I'm talking about. That's him, right? He's drinking the grape juice or what drink was he drinking? What a great song. Eighties, good for you. Wow. Phil Collins? Phil Collins, yeah.

• 1:10:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Phil Collins just, didn't he just turn eighty? I just saw something about Phil Collins turned seventy or eighty, something like that. Age?

• 1:10:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Seventy-six, yeah, seventy-five.

• 1:10:47Speaker 01

  This is all, this is my recent playlist. This ain't

• 1:10:53Speaker 01

  recently searched. This ain't, this is a list that I'm playing from. This is something-

• 1:10:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Recent.

• 1:10:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, this is what I'm smoking and riding to on the way here.

• 1:11:04Speaker 01

  Post falling like rain. So, the Rose playlist is, my musical acronym is different.

• 1:11:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Who's your top five? Top five all-time rappers?

• 1:11:16Speaker 01

  Big, Pop, Jay-Z.

• 1:11:22Speaker 01

  Trick Daddy, 305 Miami, without a doubt. He spoke for the, you know, he spoke for the kids. He spoke for the ghetto, of course. And we could, you know, we could debate that. It's too easy.

• 1:11:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Who's your fifth? You put Nas in there or you put Andre in there or?

• 1:11:39Speaker 01

  I'm gonna put, um, I'm happy to say Nas, without a doubt.

• 1:11:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Nas five?

• 1:11:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, and when I say Nas, Nas spoke for

• 1:11:50Speaker 01

  that, that militant street, that wise, young hustler. You know what I'm saying? He was fly with it, getting to the money young. You know what I mean? So, it's a lot of things that go with when I say top five. And when I say it, my top five used to change every week.

• 1:12:07Speaker 01

  What I'm smoking good and what I'm feeling like. So, it is like that.

• 1:12:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you have a top five eighties? Not even rap, just eighties music? Cause you just played an eighties song.

• 1:12:17Speaker 01

  I played a lot of eighties songs.

• 1:12:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:19Speaker 01

  When you go EPMD, when you go Rakim, when you, you know, it's just, it's so difficult for me.

• 1:12:26Speaker 01

  Because when I smoke and I lay back, that shit is all magical to me.

• 1:12:33Speaker 01

  It's magical in a lot of different ways.

• 1:12:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Rose, the history with UN50, is it better now? You guys now friends, like, do you guys talk now, or is it still no relationship?

• 1:12:43Speaker 01

  That's a nice alley hoop you just threw me, but...

• 1:12:47Patrick Bet-David?

  You gonna take it, or you gonna pass it back?

• 1:12:49Speaker 01

  Oh, I'm a win by y'all. I'm a win by y'all.

• 1:12:51Patrick Bet-David?

  You're gonna win by y'all?

• 1:12:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a win by y'all, I'm a that bitch for you, I got you, but nah, homie Wash, we've never been cool.

• 1:13:00Patrick Bet-David?

  From day one?

• 1:13:01Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:13:03Speaker 01

  No. It's big business out here, big money.

• 1:13:08Speaker 01

  He not getting none of that. Fifteen hundred dollar episode payment check, that shit ain't nothing.

• 1:13:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Never collaborated together?

• 1:13:18Speaker 01

  Nah.

• 1:13:20Speaker 01

  I'm sure he would love a Rose vibe.

• 1:13:23Speaker 01

  I'm sure.

• 1:13:25Speaker 01

  I told you, I'm a win by y'all, I'm a this bitch for you.

• 1:13:29Speaker 01

  I'm a jumper in the free throw.

• 1:13:31Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, would there ever be a... You ever saw the interview with Shaq and Kobe together? Do you remember the one where they sat across from each other? I think Magic did one with Isaiah, where Isaiah cried at the end?

• 1:13:43Speaker 01

  What'd he cry for?

• 1:13:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, because, you know, Isaiah was upset about some of the things that Magic said, and he felt like he was cut from the 92 Dream Team, that whole thing, you know?

• 1:13:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, he didn't make that Dream...

• 1:13:55Patrick Bet-David?

  He didn't make that Dream...

• 1:13:55Speaker 01

  That Dream Team was special.

• 1:13:57Patrick Bet-David?

  That was a special Dream Team.

• 1:13:58Speaker 01

  That was the greatest shit I ever put together.

• 1:14:01Patrick Bet-David?

  You ever seen this one with Kobe and Shaq?

• 1:14:03Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:14:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Will there ever be a time where Rose will do a sit-down with 50?

• 1:14:09Speaker 01

  No, this is a nice alley hoop, go ahead, finish. I'm a win by y'all, no, I'm a... I'm a motherfucking Shaq this bitch for you, go ahead, finish it.

• 1:14:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Would it ever happen with you and 50 sitting down, having a conversation? I think the world would watch that.

• 1:14:22Speaker 01

  The first thing I would wanna know is what is there to talk about?

• 1:14:27Patrick Bet-David?

  This is, this is a big business you guys are a part of. You guys are two of the heavyweights in the business.

• 1:14:31Speaker 01

  I mean, what is there to talk about?

• 1:14:33Patrick Bet-David?

  A lot of things to talk about. History, the beef.

• 1:14:36Speaker 01

  What kinda history? That he couldn't dress? That's all I used to tell him, yo, you can't dress, you're not really getting no money, you don't own your masters. Eminem saved you, Dr. Dre saved you, all the big names, Rose did it himself. I came in through slip and slide, I had to build this myself.

• 1:14:57Speaker 01

  And I'm not, I'm not speaking down on him because he live in a two-bedroom apartment, but.

• 1:15:02Patrick Bet-David?

  He lives in a two-bedroom apartment?

• 1:15:04Speaker 01

  Two-bedroom. Catch the alley hoop now. You got him when by yama this bitch. Yes, he does. And if he does, what does that say about him? Come on now, just the alley hoop?

• 1:15:15Speaker 01

  Come on now, what does it say about him?

• 1:15:17Patrick Bet-David?

  You're saying 50 lives in a two-bedroom. He just did a big documentary on Diddy that blew up. It was a number one documentary for like weeks.

• 1:15:24Speaker 01

  You just, they just use him. They'll put his name on there, give him 10K and that's it. He don't own any of that.

• 1:15:30Patrick Bet-David?

  You think he's taking 10K for that documentary?

• 1:15:33Speaker 01

  What you thought he was getting for powers? Google the, Google the actors that was in power. They spoke up. They was, they was getting minimums. Shit is rough.

• 1:15:44Patrick Bet-David?

  He's taking 10K?

• 1:15:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, that TV shit is crazy. Omar, what did he say? Yeah, what did he say? You let me know. This your alley hoop now. Don't let me down.

• 1:15:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, you can't let me down, Rob. Now I'm passing it to you. You gotta do the right research.

• 1:15:58Speaker 01

  Don't let me down.

• 1:15:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you go to the story? Let's see what the story says. There is no way 50 is doing stuff for 10, uh, 10 grand.

• 1:16:05Speaker 01

  Come on, man.

• 1:16:06Patrick Bet-David?

  I do know they said they don't pay a lot in this show. Go a little bit lower, Rob?

• 1:16:10Speaker 01

  No, they talking about the power pay complaints. These are the finales and all that. Come on, man. But this one I'm gonna do for you. This is a nice alley hoop. Just because you, you finna plug me with the Dolphins for you. Just because of you, I let 50 wash the bottom of my yacht.

• 1:16:36Patrick Bet-David?

  You're gonna let him wash the bottom of the yacht?

• 1:16:37Speaker 01

  Yeah. I mean.

• 1:16:40Patrick Bet-David?

  You're gonna be that kind?

• 1:16:41Speaker 01

  Only because it's you.

• 1:16:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Why? Your level of kindness is on a whole different level.

• 1:16:46Speaker 01

  A hundred-foot reva. Come on, man. That's what.

• 1:16:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Hundred-foot reva?

• 1:16:49Speaker 01

  Yeah. I don't like to see nothing green at the bottom. He get the scoo, the goggles?

• 1:16:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:55Speaker 01

  The mouthpiece?

• 1:16:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:57Speaker 01

  The fans on his feet and he could flap like Flipper.

• 1:17:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, yeah, listen, I mean, that would be a.

• 1:17:04Speaker 01

  That would be a good business, wouldn't it be?

• 1:17:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And you're saying you would, you would pay.

• 1:17:10Speaker 01

  He would get paid just like if it was power. He doesn't own power.

• 1:17:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:15Speaker 01

  He doesn't own none of that. His 10 million seller album, he doesn't own Get Rich or Die Trying. That's why he doesn't promote it.

• 1:17:22Patrick Bet-David?

  What is 50's net worth? But 50's a 200 million dollar guy, is he not?

• 1:17:26Speaker 01

  Stop, don't, don't, don't lie.

• 1:17:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, pull it up, maybe I'm off, I'll correct myself right now.

• 1:17:30Speaker 01

  People that really believe in you, don't threaten the legitimacy of what you have here.

• 1:17:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, pull it up so we know. Omari said he made 150 per episode?

• 1:17:41Speaker 01

  Stop, that's cap, no, that's cap.

• 1:17:43Patrick Bet-David?

  You're saying he didn't make the 150 per episode?

• 1:17:45Speaker 01

  He said it, I know him.

• 1:17:49Patrick Bet-David?

  He got on power, owed 50 cent money. What's 50's net worth? I mean, I thought 50 did.

• 1:17:56Speaker 01

  No, don't do that. Even though this is an alley-oop for me, fuck it.

• 1:18:02Patrick Bet-David?

  There you go.

• 1:18:03Speaker 01

  Stop.

• 1:18:03Patrick Bet-David?

  You're saying he's not worth 100 million?

• 1:18:05Speaker 01

  No, that was before, you know, the bankruptcy and all that. Pull up the bankruptcy, let's see what the bankruptcy said. And how much did he lose on his house? The Mike Tyson house?

• 1:18:19Speaker 01

  Show me.

• 1:18:22Speaker 01

  Considerably, oh, 50 cent bankruptcy case reopened to consider abuse allegations. Wow. He's abusive, Mr. Alley-oop, come on. PBD, come on now.

• 1:18:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:18:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Why do you think he's loved? Why do you think he's loved? Because you.

• 1:18:44Speaker 01

  Loved by who, man?

• 1:18:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Fans, fan base.

• 1:18:46Speaker 01

  Come on now.

• 1:18:47Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't think 50's loved? I mean, both of you guys have had two of the biggest hits ever in hip hop.

• 1:18:52Speaker 01

  Come on now.

• 1:18:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Biggest hits ever in hip hop.

• 1:23:08Speaker 01

  I don't know. Somebody want to go fishing.

• 1:23:12Speaker 01

  I can put him on the boat, let him go fishing, man.

• 1:23:14Patrick Bet-David?

  You are. By the way, how's your relationship with Diddy?

• 1:23:19Speaker 01

  I haven't spoken to him.

• 1:23:20Patrick Bet-David?

  You haven't spoken to him?

• 1:23:21Speaker 01

  Nah.

• 1:23:22Patrick Bet-David?

  But you guys never had issues, right? There was no beef between you and Diddy? Yeah.

• 1:23:27Speaker 01

  I told you my homie Block, you know, released music through the Puff, and that's who introduced me really to the industry. Shout out to Block.

• 1:23:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it. So you're, you're... So to a guy as an outsider that's watching in...

• 1:23:40Speaker 01

  But, the important thing here is 50 Cent's son got to fish.

• 1:23:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:23:45Speaker 01

  On Star Island.

• 1:23:46Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a very important skill set. At a great location. You could fish anywhere. Star Island, those fish, I mean, they gotta be some of the richest fish in the world.

• 1:23:56Speaker 01

  Thank you, thank you.

• 1:23:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:23:58Speaker 01

  Red snappers, you get to see dolphins, the dolphins.

• 1:24:02Patrick Bet-David?

  King Griffins, billionaire home there.

• 1:24:04Speaker 01

  When the dolphins squirt at the top, you know, it's almost, you know, they bust a net at the top of their brain. You know what I mean? You get to see that in live, fucking, real time.

• 1:24:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:24:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:24:18Speaker 01

  That was a nice alley-oop, wasn't it?

• 1:24:19Patrick Bet-David?

  You think, you think the market's open right now for a Hit Em Up 2.0?

• 1:24:24Speaker 01

  Hit Em Up, like what?

• 1:24:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Like what Tupac did with that, the diss track that, diss track that changed the game when that came out?

• 1:24:33Speaker 01

  I think, I think, no, it's nothing like that that's in that space because Big and Tupac were both on that same level. Right now, it wouldn't even be exciting because, you know...

• 1:24:47Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't put 50 at your level?

• 1:24:49Speaker 01

  Of course not. He's a man, yeah.

• 1:24:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Would you put Drake at your level?

• 1:24:53Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:24:55Patrick Bet-David?

  You, you're not putting Drake at your level?

• 1:24:58Speaker 01

  No, see, you might be, I could see it in your eyes, you might be confused with the numbers and all of the fake numbers. Flood, the marketplace, 50 Cent, that shit ain't nothing. Remember what I told you? The streets are the streets.

• 1:25:14Speaker 01

  If Drake was what he thought, you, what you think he was, or what he thought he was, he would have been able to clear all this shit up, address it, and been moved on. He's still suing the label, that's like him, he might sue you for speaking of him on this situation. He might sue you, he might send you a cease and desist.

• 1:25:32Patrick Bet-David?

  That would be a compliment.

• 1:25:32Speaker 01

  It's a nice alley-oop.

• 1:25:34Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a nice alley-oop.

• 1:25:35Speaker 01

  Let him know.

• 1:25:35Patrick Bet-David?

  But if it does, I'll definitely text you and I'll say, "We gotta share the legal fees together."

• 1:25:38Speaker 01

  Shit, no.

• 1:25:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Because you, we would share legal fees together, we got the same lawyers.

• 1:25:42Speaker 01

  No, no we won't, man, he might sue you. He sued Lucian Grange.

• 1:25:49Patrick Bet-David?

  What did Lucian say?

• 1:25:50Speaker 01

  I'm not sure.

• 1:25:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Lucian is a heavyweight though, Lucian is a...

• 1:25:54Speaker 01

  I know, I know, but...

• 1:25:55Patrick Bet-David?

  He's got a little bit dark side to him.

• 1:25:56Speaker 01

  When you diss certain people and they can't deal with it emotionally, they're embarrassed, they're humiliated, that's when they sue all of these people.

• 1:26:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you listen to Iceman, the new, um...

• 1:26:08Speaker 01

  I listened to some of it, my engineer, it was horrendous.

• 1:26:13Patrick Bet-David?

  What'd he give it, zero to 10?

• 1:26:15Speaker 01

  Oh man, it was, I mean Pitchfork gave it, I said it was mid, mid meant five, Pitchfork gave it a four point something, I don't know, but it was like, "No one's my friend, you left me alone," oh man, it's that type of shit.

• 1:26:34Speaker 01

  Gotta be a boss out here, man.

• 1:26:36Patrick Bet-David?

  So nothing that would be in your new playlist, that you were showing?

• 1:26:39Speaker 01

  Was it anything in my recent playlist?

• 1:26:41Patrick Bet-David?

  You didn't hear all of them, I don't know if you got a, you know... But have you personally listened to every single one of the tracks in the new album?

• 1:26:48Speaker 01

  No, I couldn't do it.

• 1:26:49Patrick Bet-David?

  You couldn't do it?

• 1:26:50Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:26:50Patrick Bet-David?

  By which one did you stop? Five, did you make it to five or six?

• 1:26:54Speaker 01

  I'm not sure, you gotta realize, when it was going, it's music people that's on my team that's, I allow them to be a, you could be a Drake fan if you like his music, I don't, I'm not gonna take, nah, I don't put, we not on that type of shit, listen to it if you wanna listen to it, and I had people that listened to it. By the fifth song they came out, they was like, "Damn."

• 1:27:16Speaker 01

  This shit wagged and they went back in, listened to it. I'm like, it's not nothing that's dope. You, you don't hear nothing like Jay-Z and Alicia Keys from New York. You don't, I say you don't hear none of that. It, you know, this is a motherfucker who always bringing up Michael Jackson. What a Billie Jean at, what a thriller. What a, and my homies actually sat there, they lost hour of their life for this shit.

• 1:27:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen to it.

• 1:27:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:27:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Are they recovering?

• 1:27:49Speaker 01

  Yeah, trauma.

• 1:27:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Trauma, it's tough.

• 1:27:52Speaker 01

  It is.

• 1:27:53Patrick Bet-David?

  It's tough.

• 1:27:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:27:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, by the way.

• 1:27:54Speaker 01

  When you, when you been waiting after you seen people put ice blocks in the middle of places and promoted and marketed and the world knew what day it was coming out and the shit came out and, and really, you know, folded.

• 1:28:07Patrick Bet-David?

  How is it performing on the charts, Rob?

• 1:28:10Speaker 01

  Who?

• 1:28:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm not tracking how Iceman.

• 1:28:13Speaker 01

  I'm not sure.

• 1:28:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Performing on the charts.

• 1:28:14Speaker 01

  Rosé don't.

• 1:28:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, well, let's see. Iceman recorded 140.2 million first day Spotify streams, officially making the biggest album debut in 2026 so far. The figure has placed immediately pressure on competitors and set a new benchmark for opening. Drake's Janus shut, has reached number one on Apple Music. So that shows it's doing okay. That showing it's doing pretty good.

• 1:28:39Speaker 01

  I don't know what you're reading, but do me a favor and pull up Spotify. Let's go to the real streaming. Pull up Drake's Spotify. I don't, that didn't even have a logo which you was just reading. So you might be an Iceman fan.

• 1:28:52Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm not, I'm not, I'm not listening to it, just so you know. Okay, so how do you go to see where it's ranking?

• 1:28:57Speaker 01

  I'm not, I'm not sure. I'm talking about the articles. That look like the stream, I don't know.

• 1:29:02Patrick Bet-David?

  So Rob, why don't you type in, uh, Drake, Iceman, then go to news, reviews?

• 1:29:08Speaker 01

  You like Drake, you like Drake. You been talking about him 20 minutes now.

• 1:29:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Just so you know, I will tell you, this is the fun fact about me. I stopped, you know, my hip hop stopped in, uh, early 2000.

• 1:29:20Speaker 01

  This not hip hop.

• 1:29:21Patrick Bet-David?

  His not hip hop.

• 1:29:22Speaker 01

  No, this not hip hop. I like how he used the Michael, Michael Jackson glove right around the time the Michael Jackson movie came out. You ride that wave, he know how to ride a wave, but it ain't working.

• 1:29:34Patrick Bet-David?

  He does not succeed. Pitchfork gives Iceman a 4.8 out of 10. Okay, that's not good. Fans react as Pitchfork gives Drake. How point is Pitchfork, by the way, when they score you?

• 1:29:46Speaker 01

  I don't get into scores. My music I've always made was in the streets.

• 1:29:52Patrick Bet-David?

  You quoted them, though. You said you gave it a mid, but Pitchfork gave it a 4.8.

• 1:29:56Speaker 01

  Facts.

• 1:29:57Patrick Bet-David?

  So then that means Pitchfork has got credibility in the, in the market.

• 1:30:00Speaker 01

  No, I just told you what was online.

• 1:30:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 1:30:03Speaker 01

  I said mid, which was higher, 5 out of 10.

• 1:30:07Patrick Bet-David?

  So you were being nicer than Pitchfork?

• 1:30:08Speaker 01

  Oh, considerate, of course.

• 1:30:10Patrick Bet-David?

  So let me ask you, what, uh, to you, what is the last hit? Like you said, we haven't had a Michael, we haven't had a New York with Jay-Z and, uh, uh...

• 1:30:20Speaker 01

  No, we just, it's just, when we talking about big records. You gotta understand, when you, when you're comparing yourself to Michael Jackson, when you're comparing yourself, deliver it.

• 1:30:31Patrick Bet-David?

  He compares himself to Michael Jackson.

• 1:30:33Speaker 01

  And, and, and when you, you listen to people and, yo, play me the best 5 songs you heard, this or that. You hear it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

• 1:30:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Does it show ranking on Spotify? I'm actually curious now to see where it ranks on Spotify, how it's done. Oh, they scored a bite. 54 out of 10, Clash, 54. So based on weighted average score, 50 out of 100 from 7 critic scores. Doesn't look like a good score to me. That does not look so. So now yours is coming out June 12th.

• 1:31:09Speaker 01

  June 12th, set in stone, my new album. Big, huge, popping big boy shit. Rich boy raps.

• 1:31:20Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a sick cover right there, by the way.

• 1:31:23Speaker 01

  Stone, marble.

• 1:31:24Patrick Bet-David?

  That is a sick cover right there.

• 1:31:26Speaker 01

  Thank you, OG, thank you.

• 1:31:28Patrick Bet-David?

  No, seriously, that's insane. That's a sick. I saw that one, uh, Nigel, I think it was Nigel that brought it in, right?

• 1:31:33Speaker 01

  Shout out to Nigel and his motherfucker.

• 1:31:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Nigel came ready.

• 1:31:37Speaker 01

  You already know.

• 1:31:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Nigel came ready. Uh, so what, what should we expect from the new album? Is there any tea, anything you can tease us with?

• 1:31:44Speaker 01

  He said tea down, he tea.

• 1:31:50Speaker 01

  He walked the T down. That's the first time we hear the motherfucker say. But nah, ain't no T. You know what I'm saying? What it is though is big boy shit.

• 1:32:00Speaker 01

  Back on the throne, Ricky Rosé. They know what I bring. Sound wise, production wise, collaboration wise. And then my, the points that I make. And once again, it's set in stone. And it's challenging to be my best album ever. So you could preorder the album right now. Online, set in stone. June 12th, it's on the street.

  It's always major. Everything I do is major, big boy shit. My next single I'mma drop is Living Large featuring Big X the Plug. Yeah, yeah. And you know, the sounds. I had my brother DJ Khaled and Dre from Cool and Dre. They was over, I played a few records for them and man, they were so excited. You know, some of the things that we've done, you know what I mean, in the past? And the music that I'm making right now is just, um, I'm happy the streets get to enjoy it. You know what I mean? The music I make, that shit for, um, the rich minded, you gotta have a certain mindset. Big boy, yeah.

• 1:33:16Patrick Bet-David?

  But by the way, what's the story with you trying to climb Mount Kalamajaro?

• 1:33:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, I wanted to do something different. So that's what we was talking about at the top of the book. Me doing something different. Like yo, let's, let's challenge ourself and of course it never happened. My doctor said, you crazy.

• 1:33:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you start? Did you at least go to it?

• 1:33:39Speaker 01

  You know, I've been there, I've, you know, but I've never went up, you know what I mean? Shout out to the homies, my homies last time I went there. And I told them I was gonna go up to the, the top of the mountain and my doctor say, no, you not gonna walk up there. You smoke weed and you fucking hip give out or some shit. So my mom and my sister, they co-signed it and I was fucked, so we canceled it.

• 1:34:05Patrick Bet-David?

  So it never happened. By the way, which do you prefer more, you know, smoking grass or cutting grass? Because I heard a story about you guys, when you bought the house, you guys had your friends just cutting for two days.

• 1:34:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, I love.

• 1:34:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Why cutting grass?

• 1:34:19Speaker 01

  I, I love being outdoors. I'm an outdoorsman. I have buffaloes, I have cows, I have dogs.

• 1:34:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you say you have buffaloes?

• 1:34:27Speaker 01

  Facts.

• 1:34:29Speaker 01

  You see, I put on my cowboy hat. I got on Amex 95s with a hoodie on, with a G-Shock watch on, probably got 10 joints rolled up. You see that track that I put tents on it? I hook my Bluetooth up, my Bluetooth up, that shit is over. Can you imagine what it's like? I'm a John Deere champion.

• 1:34:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you say buffaloes? You literally have buffaloes in your property?

• 1:34:54Speaker 01

  Big time. One of my buffaloes done got away.

• 1:34:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Wait, your buffalo got away? Like it left the property?

• 1:35:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, jumped, boom, broke the top half of the gate, jumped out, my neighbors, they had to call, you know, and I had to send my homies over there to go get my buffalo.

• 1:35:12Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you get a buffalo back?

• 1:35:14Speaker 01

  That's it, right there. That's my buffalo.

• 1:35:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Does he have a name?

• 1:35:18Speaker 01

  Timbuktu.

• 1:35:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Timbuktu, that's a good name.

• 1:35:25Speaker 01

  Y'all, look at this shit here.

• 1:35:30Speaker 01

  So look, that's, that's one of my cows, one of my cows was with the buffalo, so I love being outdoors, you know, so I cut grass.

• 1:35:39Patrick Bet-David?

  I thought you were joking about that.

• 1:35:40Speaker 01

  No, if I have the time, I cut grass. I ain't had time in the last year, but I done cut trees down, grass, all that shit.

• 1:35:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Julius was telling me, he's got livestock. I'm like, what are you talking about? He says, yeah, this guy's got animals here, so. So it's a 328, 22 acre property, 54,000 square feet of living space, 109 rooms, movie theater for 135 people, dining room to accommodate 100 guests, bowling alley, recording studio, baseball field, tennis court, handball court, seven stall barn, and a 350,000 gallon swimming pool. Why buy such a small house?

• 1:36:16Speaker 01

  Great investment. Bought it for 5.9 million. Last time it was appraised, it was over 30. I filmed over, what, three dozen films. It got to the point where we, we began charging the scouters just to come look. So, it's, it's-

• 1:36:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Three films on the property?

• 1:36:38Speaker 01

  How many?

• 1:36:38Patrick Bet-David?

  It's been in three films, you said?

• 1:36:40Speaker 01

  Over, shit, damn near three dozen.

• 1:36:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Three dozen films?

• 1:36:44Speaker 01

  Facts. There's so many different places you could film, different angles you could film from, so-

• 1:36:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, this is Evander's, uh, old house.

• 1:36:52Speaker 01

  Evander Holyfield's former crib that he built for 25 million.

• 1:36:56Patrick Bet-David?

  And it's 54,000 square feet? Was it, was it 46,000 square feet or 54,000 square feet?

• 1:37:02Speaker 01

  Fifty-five.

• 1:37:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Fifty-five thou- I gotta get these numbers-

• 1:37:05Speaker 01

  Catch that alley hoot, man, you gotta catch it.

• 1:37:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, you know, there's another guy that built a house in, in Atlanta as well. His name is Hubert Humphrey, I don't know if you saw his house. He built it in, I want to say, Coming, Georgia. If you go to the, the images, go to the second one, Rob. Yeah, he's got another, so there's a lot of big houses there. But the one you're in, you're saying is the biggest house in, in Georgia.

• 1:37:26Speaker 01

  I'm not sure, I never even heard of this crib right here.

• 1:37:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's another one. Not that guy. I don't know who that guy is. Maybe that guy's the bankruptcy attorney or something. But this was a, I got a tour of this house in 07, 08. It was, it was also a nice house. Do you prefer being down here or do you prefer being up there in Georgia?

• 1:37:44Speaker 01

  It depends on the time of the year. Once the hurricanes come here, I'm different, I'm in a different spot.

• 1:37:49Patrick Bet-David?

  You head up to Rob, can you go to his house? Type in, type in images of the house? Rick Ross, no, no, Rick Ross house. Cause it's a ridiculous property. That doesn't even look like a house. How often you throw parties at this place? I'm assuming you've had some really big ones.

• 1:38:08Speaker 01

  No, without a doubt. Without a doubt. For my 40th, I know I spent a half a million. For my 40th, I had an amazing event. But the car show now is, that's what a car show look like at Rick Ross-

• 1:38:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Holy shit. That's a car show?

• 1:38:26Speaker 01

  Yeah.

  Yeah, and this is, this is it, right? Because

  I've had over 10,000 people.

• 1:38:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's the car show.

• 1:40:54Speaker 01

  That question almost sounded unbelievable. You was even asking me, repeat that again?

• 1:40:59Patrick Bet-David?

  So how, how important is it to build a brand, personal brand? To help bring attention to the businesses you're running or owning?

• 1:41:08Speaker 01

  Well, it depends on who's, who are we speaking about? Everybody's not great at being a personal brand. You know, everybody's not great or meant to be up front, leading the charge. So sometimes it's best for certain people to fall back. But in my situation, me being the voice of the brand is always a great thing. Right now I have over 30 plus partnerships. I'm celebrating 20 years in the game and I'm still excited about the music.

• 1:41:39Speaker 01

  We still chastising the minions. We still shooting threes from half court. Yeah, when I throw you the alley hoop, you, you gotta win by armor.

• 1:41:48Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, I saw something. I saw you said, uh, you have 3,500 songs that you still have not released to the, is that the number? Am I saying the correct number?

• 1:41:58Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 1:42:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I read it somewhere that you said 3,500 songs that has not been released to the public.

• 1:42:04Speaker 01

  I have laptops and laptops, hard drives and hard drives.

• 1:42:11Patrick Bet-David?

  How does the song selection work out? How do you pick? How do you say this doesn't make it? Is it like a process of elimination?

• 1:42:17Speaker 01

  It's whatever feels. You know, who gives me that fulfilling vibe? It's not about, you know, who produced it? It's not about who's on it. What do I play? And I stand up and I jump up right then. That's what we keep.

• 1:42:36Patrick Bet-David?

  But is it like 25 of them and then you cut to 24, then you got to 22, then you go to 14? Is it kinda like that?

• 1:42:42Speaker 01

  It's kinda like that.

• 1:42:43Patrick Bet-David?

  It is like that?

• 1:42:44Speaker 01

  It is.

• 1:42:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. And then do you rank it and is there, is there a number to pick the best song? Is it the fourth song is typically the best one? Is it not the first one?

• 1:42:53Speaker 01

  No, no, no.

• 1:42:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Nothing like that?

• 1:42:54Speaker 01

  No, no, no.

• 1:42:56Patrick Bet-David?

  And that's just for the audience to decide?

• 1:42:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's, it's for the audience to decide. You know, what they love and appreciate the most.

• 1:43:04Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what I'm asking though, right? Like, do, do artists pick the one, like, let's just say you're doing an album and every day you hustle and say is the best song and you know it's gonna be the best song? Do you put that in six? Like, you know, baseball, there's cleanup hitter? And you put, nothing like that with music?

• 1:43:20Speaker 01

  It's a body of work. What feels the most natural? What feels the most authentic? What goes together the best? What help paints the picture of what we're trying to do here? It's bigger than just one record, two records.

• 1:43:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:43:37Speaker 01

  This is a full body of work. And that's the way I approach it.

• 1:43:43Patrick Bet-David?

  And then you let the audience decide which one becomes a hit?

• 1:43:47Speaker 01

  They ultimately gonna determine what's the hit. You can't tell them.

• 1:43:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you already kinda personally sit there and say, I think out of the record that's coming on June 12th, I think these three are the ones that I'm most excited?

• 1:43:56Speaker 01

  Without a doubt. You most definitely hear some shit and you say, hey boy. This shit crazy, I can't wait to see what the response is. Yeah, when I talk like that, that's usually what that is.

• 1:44:09Patrick Bet-David?

  So there's gonna be some diss tracks that some people in the album that's coming out? Some names will be called that in the album that's coming out?

• 1:44:16Speaker 01

  It's a good chance.

• 1:44:17Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a good chance?

• 1:44:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's a good chance.

• 1:44:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Is there gonna be like a Leroy in there, Bruce Leroy type of thing or no?

• 1:44:25Speaker 01

  Oh, that was a nice alley-oop right there. 50 Cent, you saw he threw me the alley-oop about your son. Yeah.

• 1:44:32Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a, that's a nickname.

• 1:44:33Speaker 01

  Bruce Leroy.

• 1:44:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:44:35Speaker 01

  That should be a song title.

• 1:44:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Could it be?

• 1:44:40Speaker 01

  Might not be too long.

• 1:44:46Speaker 01

  It might not be too late. It might not, man.

• 1:44:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Two last questions before we wrap up.

• 1:44:55Patrick Bet-David?

  You ever see these guys online that do watch reviews? You ever see these watch review guys?

• 1:45:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Cause you're a watch guy.

• 1:45:07Speaker 01

  Facts.

• 1:45:08Patrick Bet-David?

  What's your favorite watch? Like if you have a watch where, do you have one where, do you have a big watch collection?

• 1:45:14Speaker 01

  I have a nice timepiece collection, I do.

• 1:45:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Over 50, over 100? Cause you got 100 cars. So is it the same with watches or not really?

• 1:45:21Speaker 01

  I got a lot of watches, I do.

• 1:45:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Is there a favorite one you got?

• 1:45:25Speaker 01

  The vibes change.

• 1:45:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Is there one that shows up more often than others?

• 1:45:31Speaker 01

  Usually the ones that I like most, I rarely wear.

• 1:45:37Speaker 01

  It's sometime pieces, it's sometime pieces to me that just go with your daily bounce.

• 1:45:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Is there a specific brand? Are you a Rolex guy or a Hublot guy? Are you a Patek guy or are you an AP guy?

• 1:45:52Speaker 01

  I got all of them.

• 1:45:54Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the favorite one?

• 1:45:56Speaker 01

  It's not really a favorite. That's what I'm saying. It's kinda like, yeah, it's a vibe. You know, what restaurant are we going to? What are we traveling to?

• 1:46:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Like what do you got on right now?

• 1:46:05Speaker 01

  How long will we be going? This is a paddock.

• 1:46:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Iced out.

• 1:46:10Speaker 01

  Big time.

• 1:46:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Big time.

• 1:46:14Speaker 01

  Bust down.

• 1:46:17Patrick Bet-David?

  So, you know, it's funny, the guys earlier, they're like, Pat, you know, this is the third Rick Ross you've had on your podcast. I said, third? Who are the other two? I know one of them. One of them is Freeway Rick Ross. But apparently we had a Rick Allen Ross, who was on the podcast about a year ago, who was a cult deprogrammer. Okay, where people who join cults, he deprograms people from having joined a cult. Okay? But there was about a period of my life that I kept bringing people on, cause I wanted to find out who killed Tupac. So I brought on Freeway Rick Ross. I don't know what it was, probably 10 years ago. I did podcasts two times with him. And he came on and we spoke, and your name came up.

• 1:47:01Patrick Bet-David?

  When's the, because in the lawsuit, he tried to sue you twice. I've never seen somebody try to sue somebody twice. That at the end, is it true that at the end of the lawsuit, he had to pay for your legal fees?

• 1:47:15Speaker 01

  He wasted a lot of people's time. I hope he's coping with the crack addiction that he been dealing with this whole time and I hope your, your, your listeners, I hope you didn't disappoint your listeners listening to that shit. I just hope, I just hope, man, you gotta keep, you gotta maintain a certain level of quality and you've let, you've allowed it to dip.

• 1:47:43Patrick Bet-David?

  To, to put him on.

• 1:47:46Speaker 01

  I'm, I mean, you should go and look at your, go look at your ratings, pull up the ratings.

• 1:47:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Type in YouTube Rick Ross Bet David, let's see how he performed. I don't know actually how he performed, but let's look it up.

• 1:47:56Speaker 01

  Let's look it up.

• 1:47:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Type in Bet David and Rick Ross. Watch the cult guy come up first. 1.6 million.

• 1:48:05Speaker 01

  The cult guy, you could.

• 1:48:07Patrick Bet-David?

  No, but right there, that's freeway Rick Ross was what, six years ago? Click on that. I think he performed pretty well.

• 1:48:15Patrick Bet-David?

  It did okay, 1.6 million. You want to go to the comment section, let's see what the audience said.

• 1:48:22Patrick Bet-David?

  So I'm trying to see, I'm, I'm giving you my last alley hoop and I'm trying to see what you're gonna do with this one.

• 1:48:26Speaker 01

  It's not an alley hoop, this is.

• 1:48:28Patrick Bet-David?

  If you don't respect everyone, then you're disrespecting yourself.

• 1:48:32Speaker 01

  This is.

• 1:48:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Like this man.

• 1:48:36Speaker 01

  Informant slash crackhead.

• 1:48:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Was he the reason why you named yourself what you named yourself, or not at all? Was there any influence there?

• 1:48:45Speaker 01

  He's a crackhead. What are you talking about? Pull up crack, pull up smoking crack, freeway smoking crack. This what you should be talking about on your.

• 1:48:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Him smoking crack?

• 1:48:55Speaker 01

  You, you, you let me down. You're disappointing me because

• 1:49:00Speaker 01

  where's the crack? Pull it up, I don't see it. Pull up the headlines.

• 1:49:13Patrick Bet-David?

  You're saying now or back in the days?

• 1:49:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Cause he, we know back in the days he had issues.

• 1:49:20Speaker 01

  We don't know nothing. I'm asking to pull it up. I'm asking to pull it up. Where's the facts? We talking facts. When he sued me, he had to admit the facts about him being an informant cooperating with this and that.

• 1:49:36Patrick Bet-David?

  We know that. We talked about that. That's not something that we don't know.

• 1:49:39Speaker 01

  Why you not? That's what people want to talk about.

• 1:49:41Patrick Bet-David?

  That's why the interview did well, because we specifically talked about that. He had a big role in that.

• 1:49:46Speaker 01

  You ain't mentioning it to me.

• 1:49:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, no, no. The question I asked is-

• 1:49:49Speaker 01

  That he was abusing crack. I'm sure he came and lied to you and told you he made three million dollars a day and he never, did he ever show you a home?

• 1:49:59Patrick Bet-David?

  No.

• 1:50:00Speaker 01

  Did he ever show you a home?

• 1:50:02Patrick Bet-David?

  He said he owned a few buildings.

• 1:50:03Speaker 01

  Did he show you his car collection? Did he show you his watch collection? What the three million dollars a day, where was it going to? Thank you.

• 1:50:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean it's-

• 1:50:12Speaker 01

  Thank you, thank you. This is PBD. Your listeners deserve better. This is Ricky Rosé.

• 1:50:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Did he at all inspire the name though? That's the only question.

• 1:50:22Speaker 01

  I thought I've answered that three times.

• 1:50:24Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't think you did. I think you went to crack. And I know he had the crack issue.

• 1:50:27Speaker 01

  Why would a crackhead-

• 1:50:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Introduced it to a lot of young kids and it was a bad thing.

• 1:50:31Speaker 01

  Why would a crackhead inspire the boss Rick Ross? To wanna be the informant? That's not, no. That's why the lawsuit failed, brother.

• 1:50:41Patrick Bet-David?

  So the two of you guys have never spoken one-on-one?

• 1:50:45Speaker 01

  Brother. You lowering the standards of the interview now. We can't focus on crack.

• 1:50:53Patrick Bet-David?

  If I ran a poll-

• 1:50:54Speaker 01

  We can't focus on crack. I have a car show coming out that's so huge in the-

• 1:51:01Patrick Bet-David?

  If I ran a poll-

• 1:51:02Speaker 01

  The Hustlers, right now.

• 1:51:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Which will do that. And by the way, we're gonna plug every one of those things. Every day.

• 1:51:07Speaker 01

  Thank you. That's what we need to be-

• 1:51:09Patrick Bet-David?

  The chips. I'm gonna eat the chips. I'm gonna plug all this stuff in.

• 1:51:11Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 1:51:11Patrick Bet-David?

  But if I did a poll, Rosé, respectfully, okay? If I ran a poll and I said, "Give me five topics you would want me to ask Rick Ross." Right? The boss. You.

• 1:51:26Patrick Bet-David?

  The guy that has one of the greatest hits of all time. One of the top five would probably be the feud with 50 Cent, which you delivered. You didn't hold back. Respect. One of them would probably be your coming up and what you did with your story of going from where you were at to your winning down. Probably people gonna ask that name, Freeway.

• 1:51:45Speaker 01

  If I ask.

• 1:51:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Rogan had Rick Ross on. That question was brought up.

• 1:51:49Speaker 01

  If I ask Joe Rogan.

• 1:51:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 1:51:52Speaker 01

  The five questions about, um, when it comes to having guests and speaking on success. And not just trying to get black, you know, yeah, let me get some real one. Yeah, man, y'all gotta have some real ones really on your platforms. Not no shit 40 years ago where nobody's proven anything. It's time to really, that's the thing, that's the difference about, you know, the social media and what's real and what's not. These motherfuckers will wake up and show you they drip check and they jeans and they jackets. No, show us what your TV sit on the wall like, what you living like.

• 1:52:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:52:37Speaker 01

  Show us that. That's what I wanna see. I don't wanna see the imaginary. Where your beer companies at? Where your beers at?

• 1:52:47Patrick Bet-David?

  We're gonna have some beer today at this time.

• 1:52:49Speaker 01

  Where's the books at? Where is the, it's a difference between the real deal and when it's just cap. So, I see it every day. I enjoy it. You see it, you laugh, but when it's time for the real deal, the real shit. When they wanna know how Ricky Ross, you know, how you really pull off the big boy jets, the big boy moves. My dentist, shout out to Dr. Mario Montoya. You know, there's people out here that freeway Rick Ross, he could have used a teeth cleaning. Did you offer him a teeth cleaning?

• 1:53:28Patrick Bet-David?

  I should have.

• 1:53:30Speaker 01

  Heavy plaque.

• 1:53:32Patrick Bet-David?

  You think so?

• 1:53:33Speaker 01

  Oh, man. That's what I'm trying to tell you.

• 1:53:35Patrick Bet-David?

  But you guys never met.

• 1:53:36Speaker 01

  I got a dentist office. We actually was during a lawsuit. Yeah, he reached out to shake my hand and I didn't shake his hand. He said it in an interview.

• 1:53:48Patrick Bet-David?

  He said he called you in '08 and he said sometime you guys called.

• 1:53:51Speaker 01

  He never called me.

• 1:53:52Patrick Bet-David?

  He said you offered to help him or something like that.

• 1:53:55Speaker 01

  That's... Stop. Big cap.

• 1:54:01Speaker 01

  If I offered to help him, why would he sue and not get nothing?

• 1:54:07Speaker 01

  Come on, man. You gotta be smarter than that. It's not even realistic. He filed a lawsuit basing some shit on some shit that wasn't even real.

• 1:54:19Speaker 01

  But when you cooperate your whole life, that's all you know.

• 1:54:25Speaker 01

  We kicked him to sleep and we moved on about our business. And now we're enjoying South Beach Brew beer.

• 1:54:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Can we try some chips? Is that okay with you?

• 1:54:36Speaker 01

  Let's try beer and chip.

• 1:54:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Do it. Set it up. I'm good with that.

  No, this is not... I'm comfortable. You got a little uncomfortable with Rick Ross. I was asking a simple question. You got a little uncomfortable.

• 1:55:00Speaker 01

  No. It's when you keep speaking on minions. When you speaking to a rich boss and you speaking on minions and...

• 1:55:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, my God.

• 1:55:10Speaker 01

  This shit is on minion time.

  And it's only one way you make it to this, that's when you remove the minions from the conversations. You see this? We can fuel your boat up, fuel your fleet up. Your wife doesn't have to worry about getting a Chanel snatched at the gas station at 10:00 PM or being followed home by a tree, you know? It's, it's fun. And that's what make me who I am.

Anyways, gang, go visit, go order the book, go to, all the links will be below, Rob.

• 1:59:32Patrick Bet-David?

  When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast, we had the choice to make it cheap, we chose neither. Instead, we chose Tuscanyero. We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled painters. We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step. Introducing, the Future Looks Bright Collection.

• 2:00:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary. Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.

• 2:00:18Speaker 04

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC dot com.
