DJ Whoo Kid On Near Death Experiences and Working with Mike Tyson, Lil Wayne & T.I | DSH #203

But I guess I'm blessed to be like, you know, considering all the chaotic stuff that I've done in the past, like leaking songs with no permission.

And I didn't do it on purpose.

I just did it just to sell.

Yeah, it's crazy.

It was so much money in that

in that in that world where I was bold to even do that.

Yeah.

Welcome back to the show, guys.

Sean Kelly here with Digital Social Hour.

Got a great guest for you guys today, DJ Hookid.

What's up, Sean?

What's going on, man?

Can't complain.

You're like so serious today, babe.

You're like so, so I don't know.

I'll hold the bag a little.

I'll make it.

I know I'm here, right?

Yeah.

But, yeah, we were both at that slap fight last night.

That was amazing.

For anybody out there, you have to go to like physically see the slaps like the sound that energy and the unbelievable beautiful women everywhere there was some good women i gotta say i was skeptical leading into it but i had fun i had too much fun i almost didn't want it to end when i saw the lights i did they had some weird effect where all the lights cut off and then smoke and red light last fight yeah it was like yeah man that last fight was nuts i like i forget that dude's name but he just got he's got good energy man but it's just one smack ended huh yeah the first four fights i think the first smack it was over man i i kind of feel bad i guess i guess they're not taking any chances with the i mean what happens if you do get smacked really bad like you probably get a concussion right you get a concussion from smacks i feel like you could i mean

all these girls smacking me all these years i never got a concussion you know i i run i ran you know what i'm saying you don't fight back

i'm not these r b singers out here oh God.

Other than going to slap events, what you've been up to?

Running,

it's kind of like the impossibility of my schedules is getting out of hand.

Right now, I run my own podcast, Whose House?

Saw that.

And I balanced that out with Mike Tyson's hot boxing.

Yeah.

We did, I think we did like 14 podcasts in like three weeks.

That's like a podcast sweatshop.

Yeah, that's, and yours are long, right?

Like two hours?

Like two hours.

It'll be like a seven-hour day.

I love it

because, I mean,

you imagine you used to watch Mike Tyson knock homies out every night, blood everywhere, 30 seconds, and then you're like, will I ever meet this guy?

Yeah.

And I work with the guy.

Yeah, that's nuts.

I got to hear the story on how you met him.

Man, I think he had like...

He was promoting his adult swim cartoon.

But I've seen him before in some of the parties and clubs.

But when I i professionally started hanging with him his interviews with me were always amazing

and i had i i think i just couldn't believe how raw and very cursive he was like he used to curse like crazy thing i got him on eminem's channel so you could curse and say whatever you want but i just i don't know i feel like he's like a kindred spirit that connected with me so perfect we both kind of like understand each other nice and it just clicked so one day he invited me to come to hot boxing to interview me yeah and then he's like, yo,

why don't you just co-host with me?

This interview we did was cool.

It was funny.

You were.

I need another.

I stopped, dude.

That's it.

That's how I got put on.

It's that easy, that simple.

Yeah.

Just provide the comedic element and

more informative, comedic, and controlling.

I'm like probably one of the ones that can control him when he's shroomed up.

Yeah.

So, you know,

usually the first two, three podcasts are cool, but the shrooms kick in on the third, fourth hour.

So

that's where I come in.

Wait, so he eats them every episode?

Yeah, he's shoveling it.

Shoveling, like shoveling.

Like, we talking like an eighth or?

Shoveling.

Bro.

I'm talking about like a pile.

I don't know what it is.

I don't do shrooms, man.

That's insane, dude.

I've done them, and there's no way I'm doing a podcast on them.

I'm glad he didn't do it today.

Nah, man.

I'll micro-dose, but the way he be eating those, nah.

When you chew it, I mean, what is it?

Do you go like

you swallow it isn't it like extremely dry so it grows on cow did you know that

yeah that's how mushrooms are made

yeah so sometimes you throw up because it's kind of nasty

man because i had a little bite of it you didn't tell you this i had a little

so you got a micro dose in a micro so i that's why i ate cow like literally technically yeah there's

clothes left over so he's eating a lot of he is yeah i've thrown up man sometimes when it's too old Yeah.

Yeah.

He told me throwing up is like the ultimate release.

Like you feel super good after.

Is that true?

I didn't.

But it was also my fault because the guy I was with was giving bad energy.

Oh, really?

Yeah, so I had a terrible trip that day, but it happens.

So is it an out-of-body experience?

Is it like ayahuasca?

Or is it just like you eat?

Nah, you'd have to eat a ton to go out of body.

I mean, I'm sure he has from it, but nah, I only ate an eighth.

He could realize that he's on it, though.

He laughs.

He's like, oh, my God, I mine f ⁇ ing drums.

Like, he'll tell you, like, in the interview.

Because he's built a tolerance at this point.

Would you ever do like Ashwagandha?

No, what's that?

That's in Africa?

Where's that?

What is that?

No, not Ashwagandha, my buddy.

Ayahuasca.

Oh, oh, no.

I was like, what?

Africa?

I always get those mixed up.

Ayahuasca.

Me and this, some chick I just met.

She wants to go to Colombia.

No, Costa Rica.

She wants to go to Costa Rica.

And I just met her.

And then.

And that's the first thing she wanted to do with you?

Well, I joked around with her because she was giving me head.

And then she's like Spanish.

So I was just like, yo, we should go to Costa Rica.

And you give me head.

Wow.

I'm on ayahuasca and you're on ayahuasca, but she got to hurry up and give me head before we both pass out.

I know.

It's kind of wild.

Yeah, that'd be a trippy experience.

You'd be out of your body getting head.

So I don't know how that would work.

Like the nerve endings with ayahuasca

and a mouth.

Yeah, it must be nuts.

So you don't do any though.

Oh, no, no, it'll be over for me, man.

Like 30 things.

Like, you know, even out here in Vegas, like, you know, people bug out.

You know, I have my residency's at Hakasan.

Yeah.

So they have like five properties, and I DJ like almost every week.

Holy D, Steve Ayoki, Calvin Harris, all these guys.

And then they're like, Yohooki, do you do dr at your age?

I was like, no, because it would have been over.

Like, really?

My life is just too much of a dr to do.

That's trippy to think about.

Yeah, it's too much going on.

I feel like a lot of people in your industry do partake in that.

They think it's fun.

Yeah.

And they think it's like part of like a reality of being successful and rich, but I've just never been interested.

Doesn't do anything for me.

Even like, you know, I have a strain.

I don't even smoke like that.

Just business aspect of it.

You know, the company was kind of cool because they wanted like regular human beings that enjoy

recreationally.

You know, like I have a big party with Snoop, I'll smoke Snoop.

I smoke with Willie Nelson, Cheech and Chong.

Legends.

I have a cheat code where I can do that.

Not a lot of people could do that.

How can you manage to keep up with them?

I mean, I don't.

So it's just like, you know, like Wiz, Wiz wants to do, you know,

stuff.

I can't.

You know, I did that once.

It was over.

Like, I almost like died that day.

Same.

My first time ever smoking was a d ⁇ .

Yeah.

Oh my God.

The first, your first encounter is terrible idea.

Terrible idea.

I was trying to fit in and be cool.

This was in high school.

You know?

It's crazy because when you see people do,

they'll be like,

so my experience was Wiz invited me to his concert at Red Rocks.

And then

I was like,

y'all look like a bunch of why y'all not because when people smoke, they do big, you know, they inhale like huge, huge portions.

Yeah, Yeah, yeah.

So, YG came out of nowhere.

So, YG went, and I was like,

Yo, you guys are nothing but

because I see bongs with the white boys in Long Island.

Yeah, they might as well just sniff all the smoke and stuff.

So, Wiz was like, What?

Get who kids the big one.

So, they brought the big machine, and I'm thinking it's a bong this whole time.

And then, I, once I inhaled it, I inhaled it as if I was smoking a bong, and it felt like a Ferrari went down my throat.

Like, I literally almost healed over.

It got a million views online too.

Like I fell on YG and then I kind of like pushed him away and went back.

Wiz grabbed me from my waist.

And the only thing I could think of and see is Wiz's mom laughing.

Amber Rose, when they were dating, she's laughing.

And the third thing is I'm thinking about World Star.

I'm like, oh my God.

So if I fall over, I will be on World Star.

I will be f ⁇ ed up.

And people will laugh the f ⁇ out of me for the rest of my life.

so what I did is I tried to stay up but Wiz held me up if Wiz would have let me go you would have dropped I would have been unconscious oh my god so I kept grabbing random waters like like people like other like if your water was there I thought maybe I could drown it yeah the effect so I'm drinking and it wiz is like look at him he's drinking everybody's water I'm like

yeah

and then eventually uh yeah him holding me up was like

I think it was like the epitome of being saved.

And then, you know, and Snoop Dogg is like, what are you doing?

And once you hear Snoop Dogg tell you, why did you do that?

Or what are you doing?

Are you out of your mind?

Yeah.

I escaped and went to the hospital.

You went to the hospital?

Took myself in because I was high for like, I must have been high like 14 hours.

Oh, my God.

Shout out to Will.

I called Wizard's manager.

Like, I was threatening him.

I was like, yo, did y'all put like, like, I don't know, like

or acid in the shit?

Because why am I still high?

I never fed.

Yeah, yeah.

So I'm eating burgers.

I'm eating everything.

I went to the diner.

I went to like two diners

like out there.

After the hospital or before?

I tried to feed it away.

And then day two,

I was going to like

get like some legal action because I was still high.

I

drank it.

Everybody's laughing.

Will's like, yo, relax, man.

You just, you.

That's it.

And then that's it.

It stopped maybe on almost 38 hours later.

Yeah, I don't do anymore and I don't do edibles.

Yeah.

Edibles I do.

Really?

Yeah, sleep edibles.

okay to sleep yeah yeah i took an edible once and went to a chris angel show and it was terrible what it was magic was it was magical no it was awful

no i didn't even make it to my seat come on man you serious yeah have you been to a chris angel show no not yet all right so as soon as you walk in it's pitch black there's crows flying in the air

actual crows

Yes, so picture that while you're stoned.

And I showed up late, so everyone's already seated, staring at me.

Oh my God, so you must have went crazy.

I didn't make it to my seat.

I just left and then I crawled to my hotel room.

At this point I'm on the floor.

This was at Luxer.

I crawled to my room because dude, I ate 10 MGs, which isn't that much, but when you don't have a tolerance, that's a lot.

10 milligrams though?

Yeah.

They're like your body's

like, what happened, yo?

10 milligrams.

That's what we take, right?

To go to sleep, yeah.

I thought I could handle it.

No, I almost died.

I called my girl.

I said, I'm dying.

it was the worst night of my life honestly

edibles man you can't control it once it's in you yeah it's i hate that you know um

i think uh what's his name uh maggie johnson's son i think

baked like didn't even measure

that's the worst that's the worst thing yeah like

she didn't measure the i mean he didn't measure the like you know the

the i guess the what is it was it was it called the

the potency of the like i know what you you mean, yeah.

Yeah, so if it's 10 milligrams, it could have been like a thousand in there.

Yeah, yeah.

So I ate a brownie and then it was over.

Oh, God.

And then my next flight was to Dubai.

So you can imagine, like, I was horrified.

You're probably paranoid.

I'm thinking if they think I'm doing going to jail on this plane.

So the plane looked like it was moving.

And then I was like, oh my God, I don't have my seatbelt on.

And then the students are like, what are you talking about?

The plane is parked.

Like, so I was like, oh, okay, okay.

So then I'm like, am I going to throw up or?

I didn't know which one.

So I went to the bathroom to try to get rid of it.

And I threw up.

But I threw up, you know, that little hole in the sink.

Yeah.

Mad vomit in there.

So whatever.

I ate in the airport because it was like an Arabic airport.

So I ate all kinds of like, yeah, yeah.

Halal meat and all kinds of shit.

Religious food or whatever.

I ate everything, man.

Halal was in my body, man.

Like, I saw a lot.

You know what I'm saying?

So I'm trying to, like,

squeeze the vomit through this little hole before we take off.

Cause then I in my head I was like oh my god if they see that I threw up that means they knew I did

jail everything was jail jail jail jail jail

and then I did as much as I could the ladies banging on the door hey we taking off take off

I'm like so I left it and then I woke up I was in Dubai went to my seat knocked out woke up in Dubai how long was the flight like was it like 14 hours

still high still nervous and but

thanks to thanks a lot man that was the worst experience of my life.

I thought I was gonna get locked up like immediately because they do lock you up if you're caught in your system.

Are you serious?

Yeah, if you go to Dubai and they give like a blood test, or

if I was knocked out, went to the hospital and they give you like a blood test to see what's wrong with you to help you.

Yeah, you see that you're drugged up, they could lock you up for that.

That's crazy.

It's not worth it, though.

Nah, I was like, oh my god.

But I got tricked.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

You didn't know.

What's been the craziest place you've been?

Probably like Estonia.

Estonia?

Where's that?

somewhere like uh

like somewhere in East Eastern Europe

very wild over there you were DJing out there yeah I DJ'd out there um it was the first place I ever heard like girls scream group like they're screaming like groups groups that's like that's like common out there

it was crazy like I was like what's going on here like I don't know it was I don't know if it's common but

You got to witness it or so at the after party I invited everybody to the hotel and it literally looked like fanny Fantasy Island.

It was like 20 girls and a couple of my ugly friends.

Like, you know, if you see ugly dudes getting vagina, you know this is a great place to be.

You know,

so yeah, it was

amazing.

And then there was one girl that was like,

I don't know, she was missing like partially her leg.

I don't know if it was like her bottom feet into the shin or

she had like a fake.

Like, I don't know.

She took it off like during the activities.

And I see a leg

on the table next to the alcohol.

and I'm like yo what is this is this part like who's who's who brought this here because we're in a hotel yeah so I'm like who brought this here then the chick is like over there getting like annihilated by my ugly friend and

one leg like

a one-legged girl like like a nub it's I don't know is there amputee language like

it's like probably a word for it right yeah like here and she didn't have like a nub No, it was crazy.

It was like a box, like a little...

It was like plastic, though?

This is like years ago, so this is not now where you can have robotics and you look like you're official.

Yeah.

This is some hood s.

I don't know.

Yeah, some ratchet stuff.

Yeah, I feel that.

Yo, you don't want to feel her.

I'll tell you that.

Yeah, I left that alone.

Yeah, I don't know if I can do that.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, that and pregnancy, like, pregnant chicks on the road is the worst.

Wait, pregnant.

Pregnant chicks.

So they're going out and

I mean, six months, seven months, they're out there.

What the yeah when we did the M ⁇ M G Unit tour there was like so many pregnant girls man.

I guess that's their opportunity.

I guess they just wanted to take a chance and just party with party with the unit.

You know what I'm saying?

Wow.

Yeah.

I didn't know that was a thing.

That's interesting.

I mean if you interview like a lot of rock dudes like Metallica and stuff like that I can imagine like if you're coming to town yeah and just doing one time one time a year.

Minim said it in the song, right?

This is a word

whatever Yeah, yeah.

So I guess if you're pregnant and you know that this is not going to happen anytime soon or may never happen.

Yeah.

Why not your, you know, why not your son or daughter meet this celebrity like in a different way.

You know what I'm saying?

I feel that.

I feel that.

There's two sides of every story.

What was it like working with Eminem?

Um, very cool, man.

He's like a big kid.

Yeah.

You know, I'm glad out of the, I think, 12 people you talk to, I'm like somewhere in there like number 10 or 9 You don't really talk to all you keep it tight.

Yeah, it's very it's a very closed circuit TV thing going on over there.

They don't trust nobody and stuff like that, which makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, but I guess I'm blessed to be like you know considering all the chaotic stuff that I've done in the past like leaking songs with no permission and like you know you leak an Eminem song and that's like you know, I'm from the mixtape era, so that's like a hard on, you know what I'm saying?

Like, no, you're like, oh my God, I got an Eminem song and nobody's on the song.

You leaked ones?

Yeah, I leaked one.

No, what?

Which one?

I think it was called 1098.

And then the worst thing I did is I cut out D12.

I took them off the song.

So I just made it just MM.

And I didn't do it on purpose.

I just did it just to sell tapes because we used to sell illegal bootleg tapes.

Yeah, yeah.

So that was our market.

Okay.

So I have an Eminem song.

It's M ⁇ M and D12, but I took them off.

So I made it.

You know, by you bootlegging, you can name it whatever you want.

Nobody, nobody never heard it.

Nobody, nobody knows what.

By the time they hear the finished product, it's already out there getting bootlegged.

I got my money.

I could pay my car note.

Interesting.

Yeah, it's crazy.

It was so much money

in that world where, you know, MM, I was bold to even do that.

Yeah.

So there was a hit on me.

What?

Yeah, I hit in Canada maybe four months.

Shout out to Paul Rosenberg.

I survived that.

Jimmy Ivin wanted to on me.

Minoscope.

He had,

I think Tuesdays was mixtape Tuesdays.

Like they had meetings on mixtapes, bootlegs, and stuff like that.

I was number one on the list.

Where Jimmy Ivine called me Hoo Cat because I was very maneuvering, like I couldn't get caught.

Wow.

So

it's just ironic, like years later, where Paul Rosenberg wanted to k me, where I was banned to perform because at that time I was DJing for 50 cents.

Yeah.

So I would steal music, bootleg in the time span of coming back from a tour.

So that one month we're off, I'm just back on the grind and I'm just putting it out.

And then I go, by the time I go back on the road, I'm on the road six months.

Yeah.

By the time I come back, you forgot that I stole your song.

Right.

But it's kind of hard for an Eminem to forget.

Yeah, he seems like a guy that don't forget.

So, yeah, it was, oh, man, it was.

What was that talk like?

It was a bad time, man.

It was a bad time.

Did he ever talk to you about it or he just forgot about it?

Well,

this is how it all.

This is why I think that you got to believe in fate and you got to believe in continuing.

Like, whatever you do, you just don't stop.

Because I went through a bad time where I honestly thought, I don't even know why 50 Cent never fired me either.

Because, you know, Eminem is like his boy.

Like, he got signed with him.

So.

Every day I'm getting cursed out by him.

And I can't believe you leaked that.

And I didn't even, I didn't think it was going to be that crazy big because I mapped it out to get leaked when his album dropped.

So my tape could at least have the song okay instead of me waiting for the album so it is it was just off by three four days okay three four days of having a song early was like the worst thing I've ever done in my life

so hiding it died down a bit after a while and then eventually

I don't even know how I even got back on Paul's good terms.

I think they heard me on Hot 97 when I used to do with Flex and everybody.

I leaked a Biggie song that Puff Daddy never heard.

Whoa.

So,

but the way I leaked it, my show ends at midnight.

So I leaked it at 11.55 p.m.

So I got five minutes to get to the car.

Bad Boy Records was like four blocks down.

So that's another, let's just time it, like two, three minutes to come get me at the station.

So I timed it.

My great escape.

My brother's downstairs with the car warmed up.

I dropped the song.

Yeah.

And then

I made a five-minute mix so I could just keep going back and forth, going crazy.

Yeah.

Meanwhile, Puff Daddy's in his office going crazy because somebody hit him up.

It was like, yo, there's a new Biggie song with 50 Cents on the radio.

You know what I'm saying?

So Puff is flipping like the tables and throwing against the wall.

Probably punched the intern.

I don't know.

But

it went crazy where we got to go get this guy.

But it's too late.

I'm already like on the road to Jersey.

I'm already out.

Yeah.

So.

Damn, you played a risky game back in the day.

Yeah, it was, we had a side elevator, the escape elevator, we called it.

So just in case, you know, you don't play an artist song They want to beat you up outside they wait for you out there So it's like

yeah hot night seven we had the escape clause like people were waiting for you if we don't play their songs.

I mean hot night seven was I mean it still is big so anything you play on it kind of like breaks a song So if you don't play the artist

They wait for you outside and they they beat you up or

I don't know like that's scary man.

You don't want to know what we went through like but it's just that same night where Paul Rosenberg is driving home.

He's laughing because he couldn't believe that I did that.

Like, there's a biggie song that Puff never heard.

Yeah.

So my dumb is four weeks later, we got to do Saturday Night Live.

So when you do SNL, you have to rehearse Thursday, Friday.

And then, you know, you perform Saturday.

Yeah, yeah.

Puff knew this.

So, you know, there's already promo 50 Cent on SNL.

My dumb doing rehearsal and shit.

And then I don't know why it made me look up and I see Puff.

I was like, oh no.

So I tried to like, I didn't want to run because I would look like a.

So I walked very hastily.

Like, I was like, like, was he alone or with people?

He was with, uh, I think he was with one other guy.

I don't know who the guy was.

I don't know if it's security or whatever.

And did he know you leaked it at this point?

No, he knew.

And then he came up there to find me because I had to do rehearsal.

Yeah.

So he probably knew somebody up there to give him the schedule, whatever.

So there's a one line

to the dressing room where 50 is at

and there's the left where puff is at so i walked super fast to 50s rooms because once i get in 50s room i know he's not gonna do anything you know what i'm saying so i tried to like

i tried to walk as fast as i could you know so like a white intern yeah people gotta get the walk they gotta get the water or whatever or

or the sharpie or something like yeah so i'm running and then

puff corners me in the

in the fork in the road as you would say in the office Like cornered me, got me in a headlock, and took me into 50s dressing room.

So 50s in there getting ready and shit.

So can you imagine 50 Sam puts his head up and you see like his DJ headlock?

And they're asking me, where did you get the song?

You know, I never heard this.

This is disrespectful.

What's going on?

And then

I was like, you know, I can't snitch.

You know, it's the cold of the streets, man.

You can't snitch.

And 50s laughing.

He's like, yo, man, just tell him.

Cause, you know, the song is out already.

Everybody's going crazy.

So it was called Realist.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's out.

So

I told him where I got it from and he went crazy and left.

And then

that was the last time

I got out of that.

And me and Puff is like really good friends today.

Okay.

So it's kind of crazy.

Like you've done all this stuff back in the days where you almost

almost got beat up.

Yeah.

And everybody's your friend these days.

That's crazy.

Like from Fat Joe, like, you know, Big Punk kidnapped me.

I'm good friends with Fat Joe these days.

Like I'll eat at Tripriani or Nobu with him and we're talking to him.

I wish the kids now could have a chat like that.

Each other, shooting each other.

They're quick with it, right?

Yeah, but imagine we did that back then.

Yeah.

I would have been dead for stupid.

I wouldn't even be here talking to you.

Yeah, and you were dealing with a lot of beef because you were rolling with 50 for a while.

Yeah, shit was a nightmare, man.

It's like

10, 20 artists.

And, you know, I never had 30 people with me.

So I had to like...

be creative on how I moved.

Oh, he rolled with 30 people?

Well, he had security and he had his crew, you know, a G-unit.

He had his artists too.

So me, I have my crew too.

I had Shadyville, but it was just too much.

Like you bring 30 guys and then the guys are the reasons why shootouts go down.

It's never like the artists.

It's always like friends or people you bring.

And you hear the shootouts, you hear the stabbings, or you hear, because you can't control the wolves.

So I had to dead that and maneuver.

on my own because at that time I didn't have money to pay for lawyers to get my friends out.

That's what's cool about being with 50.

Like, if you hang with him and you're involved in some crazy, he'll get you out.

His lawyers,

yeah, yeah, you guys, lawyers.

He got me out one time.

I drove with no license.

And I was like, yo, the lawyer came, got me out, gave me McDonald's, and a Big Mac right.

I mean, come on, man.

That's

he made going to jail fun because I know I'm getting out.

I'm getting out three hours.

That's wild.

Everybody's in there for

homelessness.

I'm in there for a license.

Yeah.

Let me the f out of here.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, that's probably the worst charge.

I mean,

like, that's not even a flex, you know?

No, but I'm doing good these days, man.

Like, you think of the backstories,

50 years of hip-hop thing going on now.

I was around when there was no hip-hop.

Saw all the transitions and everything.

So I'm glad I'm one of the true unicorns.

Yeah, you've been there for five.

Because I almost died 16 times.

16?

I counted, yeah.

Yeah, so I'm here with you.

That's wild.

You're here for a reason.

That's there's no coincidence that I'm not.

I mean, I think fate got me to meet you, man.

Oh, yeah.

I survived, like, almost

stabbed.

You know, I got kidnapped just to be with you.

You got kidnapped?

Yeah.

Bruh.

You never got kidnapped before?

Almost.

Almost.

Oh, did you?

Yeah, it was crazy in LA.

What?

Somebody pulled out on you?

So I was dumb.

I actually...

probably deserve this almost.

So I posted 100K cash on my Instagram story.

Come on, Sean.

My boy talked me into it.

I'm like, I was never the type to flex, right?

No.

So he talked me into it.

I'm like, yeah, like, I'm feeling this high.

From, I closed a big deal selling sports cards, 100k cash.

Posted it the next day,

group of all big black guys dressed in blue at my apartment.

No way.

Swear to God.

They stalked me for probably months.

I had to move, but one time they almost got me.

Are they like gang members?

Like gang members?

Probably, yeah.

I mean, it was pretty scary so i'm walking my i have two dogs so i'm walking my dog one day

and i know they're parked outside because they they parked all the all day for months so i'm like all right i'll just be aware of it all of a sudden this 400 pound guy is walking straight at me from the other sidewalk and there's a car next to me and the guy's about to open the door so i realize this and i'm like

i just booked it the guy chased me inside but i barely got away yo that's crazy yeah so i almost got kidnapped that's a Netflix story right there.

Yeah, no, if I wasn't aware, it would have happened for sure.

What happened with you, though?

I don't know.

I leaked a song and then Big Pun cornered me by the Apollo, got me in a cul-de-sac area, and I thought the car was, I thought Fort Master Flex was in the car.

But the way they did it,

I had to follow a Spanish kid in the Benz.

The Benz went to the right.

I parked to the left.

So they already mapped it out.

The van is in the middle, but the van was so big that when I walked around the van, I started seeing the sliding door, like, you know, sliding open.

And I was like,

why is Big Pun?

Like, I mean, why is a flex so like, I see a silhouette in there.

I'm like, why is flex so big?

Like, did he eat everything?

What happened?

Right.

So I got close.

And then I was like, so once I saw Pun, the mixtape came in my head.

But in my head, I'm like, maybe it's not about the mixtape.

Maybe pun just wants to see me in a cul-de-sac corner in a van,

you know, in Harlem.

That wasn't the case.

I put my hand out to test it.

And then I don't know how he got his hands behind his head.

He said, yo, he said,

come inside the van.

I want to have a chat with you.

So I was like,

coming to the van.

So I guess when, for me to back up, for my friends to see that I'm having issues, I'd have to back up so far from the van.

to understand like so they could see that I'm in trouble but by the time my hands went down and I'm backing up and I naturally, my hands went down.

They thought I was going for a gun.

And the reason they thought I was crazy is because back then there was no cell phones.

So I had to use quarters to use it.

So I used like a payphone at the Apollo.

I used a quarter to call.

And I didn't know I was calling pun.

Pun is doing band from TV, the music video.

And he's on set.

And they're talking about somebody brought the song in the boom box and played it in front of Nori, Nas.

Everybody's like, yo, man,

what's up with this song right here?

And then, and then that's where on the tape had my pager, my beeper on there.

So I called back that number, and then I didn't know I was talking to Punt.

I thought I was talking to a promoter that was breathing crazy.

So

long story short, he's like, yo, let's hurry up with this music video.

I got to go meet this guy at the Apollo.

So they thought I was crazy because when I got there, he wasn't there.

So I got on a payphone and I cursed, you know, I curse out promoters all day.

Yeah.

I'm like, what the f with

cable requires.

So, but I'm thinking I'm talking to a promoter.

So pun is like, bro, you cursed him out.

What the fuck is this guy?

Yo, hurry up with this video.

Yo, we gotta go beat this dude.

So

that's it.

I get there, and then my hands went down when I backed up.

And once I closed my eyes, I was in the van.

That's how fast they put me in the

this, and I was in it.

How many people were in it?

This is me, Pun, and one Spanish kid.

I was on my knees because it was a van, so I had to like get on my knees.

And then the other guy was on his knees too.

And Pun was sitting on a, obviously the van was like hooked up for him.

Yeah.

So he's sitting on this long leather.

I remember it so clear.

And then he yelled at me a little bit.

And then

he realized I didn't know what was going on.

Obviously, because he's like, I think those B for issues with the underworld with this song.

Yeah.

And they're wondering why Pun didn't respond or everybody's laughing at.

I didn't know.

I'm just leaking songs to make money.

You know what I'm saying?

So he's like, all right, obviously

we understand why you did this.

So next time you do this, then you're really coming after me.

So while he's telling me that, he's like, yo, get up and let me tell you what you're going to do in the next couple of weeks on the next tape.

So as I got up, the tape was in my pocket that, because I usually give tapes for promo, fell on the floor of the van.

It's the actual tape with the diss song.

Bruh.

Yo.

I was like, I started screaming with them.

Yo, it was like, yo, it's like a comedy movie, but I thought I was going to die.

Oh, my gosh.

Right then and there, I thought I was going to die.

Like, his boy was, you know, there's always a guy that wants to show off.

Yeah.

The guy that he plays.

Did they play it?

No, they didn't play it.

Like, I don't even remember what they did.

I just saw White.

I just saw like I blanked out.

Like, I thought I was going to.

And then

that was it, man.

He just said, yo, next time, you're going to say Jay-Z on the intro.

I was like, yo, whatever you want me to do, as long as I get out of this van.

Yeah.

And that was it.

I got out.

And the thing about pun, he was like the true gangster.

Cause when he left, he told me to give him five minutes.

I didn't give him five minutes.

Spanish kid came out and was like, yo, give us five minutes.

So I reversed my car.

When I reversed my car,

five minutes, maybe like three minutes, out of nowhere, they had two other vans like parked on the side of the buildings just in case my boys would have got out to try to help me.

He had backup.

So they would have shot my imagine like a random shootout like that for no no reason.

You would have been done, I would have been done.

My friends would have gone

because I look at stuff like that.

I'm like, what if I miscalculated or overreacted?

It's crazy how that one decision could have ended your life.

It's crazy.

And then now I'm at Nobu with Fat Joe, like, yeah, eating yellowtail,

laughing about

crazy journey, man.

You know, tasting the salty roll, whatever.

What's the

egg, the fish eggs, or whatever?

Oh, caviar?

Caviar.

We're like,

I'm sharing crackers with him.

Everything happens for a reason, man.

Dude, what's next for you, and where can people find you?

Basically, you can find me all over Vegas.

I'm not a joker.

Usually I do all the Hakasan properties.

You can catch me at either, you know, Hakasan, Revel, Omnia.

I do Tao,

Tao Beach Club.

You catch me

in a couple spots.

Oh, tonight, right?

Oh, yeah.

Tonight I'm at Tao.

Okay.

Unless he wants to come.

I've never been to a club.

Really?

Oh, no.

I went to Encore Beach Club once.

You got to come tonight, man.

I put two

inside of your face.

You never had two black inside of your soul.

Sounds interesting.

Well, yeah, you can catch me.

Like, I do Miami also.

And I kind of like, I tour relentlessly.

So I do a lot of corporate events.

But

I tour with like Waka still, Waka Flaka, Snoop Dogg.

Nice.

I do some stuff with Sway Lee, Wiz Khalifa.

So, you know, I haven't DJ for 50 Cent in like 13 years.

So I did 13 years of touring with him.

So I told myself I'm never going to DJ for somebody.

Like I'm not going to be anybody's DJ because I did research on,

I'm not going to diss the DJs out there, but if you see like all the celebrities, you don't even know who their DJs are.

Nah, right?

No.

If Katy Perry came here, would you be like, yo, who's your DJ?

I didn't even know she had one.

So

assessed that situation and I was like, yo,

I'm just going to

kind of like move on.

Yeah.

Respectfully.

Like, me and 50 talked about it.

I'd say I want to do radio and I want to do like, and podcast wasn't in play at that time.

But I was interviewing all the Hollywood elite at the moment, you know, because ever since I did Howard Stern,

I got divorced.

Cause, you know, once you go on Howard Stern, you're getting divorced.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, that was part of my divorce process.

Exhibit C was the hardest thing.

What What do you say on that episode, bro?

If anybody wants to crash course on DJ Who Kid, Google Howard Stern Who Kid.

He'd be like, oh my God, okay, I get it.

You know what I'm saying?

But Howard Stern is the one that told me he was like, yo, you should, instead of interviewing rappers every year, because you're bored, you did seven years of interviewing rappers,

go to the Hollywood department and get all the DC.

You know, Chris Hemmensworth was like nobody at the time, and Vin Diesel was like the young Vin Diesel.

This is like 20 years ago.

Yeah.

So I took all the losers at the time and now all of them are winners.

They have blockbuster hits.

Like nobody wanted Twilight.

So I tested myself.

I was like, yo, why am I keep doing like, you know, the TIs and the Legadicuses?

And I could do them anytime I want.

Right, you branched off.

Twilight.

You had the Edward guy on or whatever his name is?

Robert Patterson.

Yeah, yeah.

I had basically the whole, and plus, I don't know, I'm a fan of Twilight.

I don't know if that's cool for a black guy like me, but i was crying when i saw the last one but anyway let's not talk about

twilight you know what i'm saying yeah but

howard stern kind of like told me you should test yourself by interviewing the roseanne bars and the you know i had trump on the show a few times like that so it's like i i i created this lane where i i'm outside the box now i'm not i'm not trying to be even when you're in vegas you can't be in the box i could have chose other clubs to join right but me being a black guy i don't want them to see me in a certain way i don't want because, you know, you see me, I'm going to play G-Unit all day.

You could have chosen Drey's.

Yeah, exactly.

You know what I'm saying?

But it's like, not to disrespect Dre's, but I just wanted to be seen outside my color.

Yeah, yeah.

See, a lot of people, they don't know.

I'll do ultra.

I'll do like, you know, festivals.

You know, I'm doing EDC China.

I play EDM, but it's not because I want, it's not, it's not that I did it.

as a as a i love djing but people you if once you get in that box and they see you a certain way if you if you look at Calvin Harris or you look at all these guys, they dress like just like you.

Yeah.

I'm coming in eye style.

Can you imagine?

I come here, you got two chains,

a hundred thousand dollar watch.

I might look at you like,

this is a white guy over here.

But I just

am the guy, the black guy in the industry where you see me with, you know, all these big A-list DJs.

And they were all hip-hop fans.

I feel that.

But it's like, if you ever want to catch my dumb,

that's where you would see me.

You know what I'm saying?

Or Mike Tyson just officially kidnapped me for his podcast.

So, all right.

Yeah.

So, hot boxing, you catch me on there.

You catch me on Who's House, my own podcast.

And I interview like from you got on some big people.

I mean, I had everybody on there.

I mean, actors is where I specialize in.

Yeah.

Sports, I'm starting to learn because dealing with Mike, you know, he got me watching UFC, MMA, boxing.

I was never the stat guy.

Yeah.

LeBron James used to hang with me at clubs.

I couldn't tell you his stats.

I mean, all I know, he's the number one player in the world.

Yeah.

And that's all I need to know.

Facts.

Fuck, I'm not a sport dude, you know?

Yeah.

So, but it's a learning process for me, and I don't mind that, you know.

Oh, yeah.

Thanks for coming on, man.

And if you want some, let me know, man.

I cut my strain out there.

With you, I'll do it.

No.

Is there a Houdini here?

Get this guy some Houdini.

Let's do it.

All right.

You know, I got 2.0 coming out, too.

So that'll be a second strain.
