Dame Grease talks about working with Bad Boy first before doing the incredible song with the dope video “Get At Me Dog” for DMX. He met him in 95 through the Lox. X came with books of raps to Ruff Ryders studios where he came to spit beats for Dame. Dame was soo impressed that he asked him to re rap the verses to his beats and that’s when he knew he had something special. He was there when X got to audition for Lyor Cohen and it was his beats that he was rapping too. A lot of these stories Dame was not mentioned so it’s great to see him uncover these stories. 

He was born in the project of Bronx in High Bridge, the same place as Cardi B. and A. Boogie. He did records on Lox albums and Puff albums under Ruff Ryders management. When X 2nd album started coming the phone calls started slowing up and labels were telling him that he wasn’t making beats anymore which was a lie. This is when he started to realize it was time to be a an individual producer with no affiliations. Jay-Z also wanted to work with Dame Grease but his phone calls got rerouted. He did get to do the Big Spender record that had Freeway on it. He started to feel blackballed. His relationship with DMX was always intact so when X had a project going on like a movie score, Dame was always a part of it. When the …..And Then It Was X album came around, him and X was back rolling with the records.

They talk about how Hoes are important and how he managed to get it soo many remixes. Karlous talks about how T Pain’s music was the best Alley Oop to him getting women. T-Pain said he made some of his best music when he was drunk. He came up as a DJ so he knows what's was missing, he understands the tempo and what people will react to. Making hit music became second nature to him because he knew exactly the direction to go. T-Pain is really known on Twitch for having a great time making music and being himself. People want him to drop a text book on how to properly use auto-tune the right way but he had fun with the T-Pain app so that might never ever happen. He doesn’t like the fact that the urban music genre creates spots for artists to try to outdo each other. He said we should be celebrating each other. T-Pain says we all notice the young guys having money but it’s still not a lot of money when you see people like Elon Musk.

Being an immigrant from Trinidad and bouncing around from Florida, Canada, South Carolina, New York and Atlanta, he always knew he had star power and being a person of fashion and working in boutique clothes and sneakers stores, he would meet people from all walks of life while he was working on his music. It was never about music for him, it was more about survival. When “All Gold Everything” popped it really blew up and when the video dropped it really turned the music industry up! There was some controversy of his comparison look to Jerome from Martin which became like a gift and a curse when the media got ahold of it. The record got even bigger when T.I., Jeezy and 2 Chainz jumped on a remix which didn’t feature Trinidad James because in all honesty he never wanted to do it because he felt like the Atlanta OG’s were just riding his wave. Prior to that he had a lil rift with Tip and it just never rubbed him the right way. 

Def Jam never followed up with adding more marketing and promotion to his deal and records weren’t getting cleared so he knew he exit off the label was evident and he requested it. It took them 2 years to make that happen. On top of that the moment he tried to stand up for NY music artist for not getting played on New York radio got took out of context and people started to try to attack him. As the years passed on he kept his name out there by dropping records, doing features, writing and producing records for people all while producing shows with Revolt TV and Complex.

Growing up outside of Washington DC and being a Bullets fan. Shes attached to a team that doesn’t exist anymore. It was enough for her to know it’s something she wanted to do with sports. She had great journalism professors that wanted her to cover news. She stuck to her guns and always wanted to do it on sports and she covered the University Of Miami sports team. It was the education of a lifetime to prepare her for career. She’s not that glossy type woman that you usually see on TV so she always pushed to be herself on television mistakes or not. She wanted to work for the Washington Post after being inspired by Christine Brennan. She’s had second doubts a few times in her life if this was gonna be the career choose but she loves it soo much so this is the space that she wants to be. From covering hockey to covering baseball and golf but it was football and basketball is where her passion was at. So the more see covered the NBA and being in the mist of it, it really drew her in. She began to work harder for ESPN and putting all the leg work and showing up everyday made her one of the best covering basketball.

Nore went to a matinee to see Juice when he was a kid. A crackhead came to Nore with a empty 38 and he just so happen to have bullets. 2Pac character Bishop really had an impact on him. At 14 he see went to Spofford for letting off 6 shots at a gas station and shooting a dude twice. He had to go down to the hospital to get identified by the guy he shot. The state picked up his case and he copped at 3 and half. He ended going to the Island because the dude he shot ended up dying and they connected it to him because it happened in his hood. It was difficult for his mom coming to visit him and the crazy thing is his dad always knew Nore would be into the streets.

Kevin Durant says the Top 5 players he ever played with is Kyrie, Harden, Steph, Westbrook and Clay. Lil Wayne was the music soundtrack of his early career and then Drake and Nicki flowed right after but Drake was listened to the most. These days Lil Baby is what’s poppin in the Locker Room. KD feels like all athletes and rappers are artists and there is no limit to being creative. When he got his MVP award all his pass struggles played in his mind. He committed to basketball at 8 and as he was getting older he started to visualize that it can happen so when he started to turn a teenager he knew he was nice! He really built a love for the game and it made him get better and better. Sports for him was like fitting in. Him stepping on the court was his sanctuary and his mom was always his big support system. He knew he made it when he bought his first house in Seattle and that’s when it clicked! This is his job! I’m now in the NBA!
