yeah man i had to take him back he had to be for that one legendary i took that
0:05
freestyle i duck that in the wake up kids back to the Lamo practice yeah man
0:11
that was from 1995 yes sir when this man to me wanted to Tracy I kid you not like to me uh who
0:19
Red Man is to the East Coast is who he is to the West Coast yeah I feel that and I have my reasons for saying that
0:26
because his style even back then you couldn't really regionalize him in my opinion unless he told you where he was
0:32
from right and that even with the music sonically what they were able to do with the alcoholics I think
0:39
was it stretched the perimeters of how people saw West Coast artists right i
0:44
say that cuz at that time that was a thing you know what I mean like if you didn't sound a certain way you couldn't
0:50
be from a certain place and they had the concept so when 21 and Over came out in
0:55
1993 crazy man they just I remember set a
1:00
whole new path and they set a whole new bar for producers who came from the west
1:07
and MC's who came from the west and I want to welcome this man to the show i
1:12
don't even know the last time we sat down and done an interview wow but man this is my brother to the heart this is
1:17
somebody who helped us build the wake up show yeah helped us create kind of the persona of what that show had been at
1:25
that time and even to now like the standard of MC the standard of MC's you couldn't come up there bullshitting and
1:31
I was mean back then i was I was say "Yo that's the best you got
1:37
you know everybody got be scared to rapping for the swag man they knew they knew if they weren't coming with it he's
1:44
about to do something crazy." I'mma say some [Â __Â ] to you man but I'm really proud of this brother attention is a
1:49
drug is his new single i know he got some more music coming i've been watching him i've watched him on his
1:55
Instagram i watched him over the years he's in a new space and I love it give
2:00
it up for my man Tash of the Alcoholics [Applause] tash is here man give that man a round
2:07
of applause standing come on man we love you brother i appreciate that man yeah man and uh and
2:14
just uh you know just even thinking about back to those times even that song
2:19
um attention is a drug i'm listening to uh the sample y'all used at a chant for
2:25
boo by Art Art Blakeley I believe right Art Blakeley and that's uh with Tribe
2:31
Called Quest had used that same sample with excursions a couple years back um
2:37
prior to that from Lowend theory you know what was that the was that the objective let me find a zone that I'm
2:44
familiar with and make it 2025 absolutely not okay okay great okay N
2:51
what happened with that song right there i mean that's my vibe as far as like what I'm the energy I'm on right now is like you know trying to um modify the
2:57
90s sound kind of like we we got the same ingredients hard beats hard raps uh
3:03
you know the hook matches the you know what I'm saying like the same ingredients but just um just like this new song and the tention is a drug and
3:09
everything it's like little little trinkets of the old school and little trinkets of the new school and little
3:14
trinkets of you know 2025 and all that stuff and it's all thrown in the gumbo you know what I'm saying yeah but as far
3:19
as lyrically and everything we still talking about um I mean I still want to be sharp on the lyrics you know like I ain't change or waver for the you know
3:27
at all i just want people to appreciate it that's it what's it been like this time around for you like you know being
3:33
received by not just your same audience but it's a whole generation of new audiences out there um I'm I'm I'm
3:39
loving it i'm like I'm tripping because like this song kind of grew legs of its own okay because we ain't going to tell
3:45
you how it started out and everything but it started out a C4 song c4 is a sick ass MC out of the Inland Empire
3:52
representing the IIEE he's been on the show he's a Wake Up Show staple as well and so to see y'all together is like it
3:58
makes sense right what up C4 i know you sitting on the verse
4:06
but go ahead no the whole thing is with C4 song first that he had did a song with uh the hook the the lyrics
4:12
everything on it and when I heard it it struck a cord like this kind of sound like a alcoholic song kind of you know
4:19
what I'm saying cuz we loop the baseline heavy bass everything bottom line is I jacked him for it you jacked so you
4:25
stole you know what so I I just told him like this i said "Just send me that instrument or if I don't come up with
4:30
nothing better or equally or this or that than you did I leave it alone." And and I recorded it with him and
4:36
everything he said "Do this a smash hit." So we just we could we just threw it out we ain't even have a plan no
4:42
backup nothing for this song right here it was like a buzz record and they said we're straight to the top and I love it man and it got to feel good man 2025 god
4:49
is great okay all the time sway mentioned thank you for being here and man Heather we go way back man for real
4:56
and Sway mentioned Red Man and I I had asked Reggie too like where do you find
5:01
the energy still to do this because we hear a lot of people say you know like
5:07
I'm tired I'm retired you know all the different things but where do you truly
5:12
find cuz you could tell when somebody's just mailing it in you know they they did a scribble verse they just just
5:18
scribble yeah they just scribbled you know they put something down and went in the studio but you don't sound like that
5:23
like much like Reggie you sound rejuvenated almost like a second chance at life like a new life a new beginning
5:30
where did that energy come from um I don't know like my dad was in a group called the Chandler so I gotta give him
5:36
the credit for the musical bones let's go rest in peace to Pops but um as far as like the the pretty much this all I
5:42
know how to do now you know what I'm saying i've been doing it for I take that back that sound shallow that sound like I'm I don't know nothing else but
5:48
I've been doing it so long it's like a second habit to me you know what I'm saying it's like breathing it's like walking it's like anything else so it's
5:54
like when you have a love for something you never let it go you know so the industry didn't make you like bitter or
6:00
not want to be bothered with the game or frustrated oh hell yeah I want to kill some people but
6:06
damn you just said that matter of fact you digging deep who did you want
6:12
to kill bro no no no no no i didn't mean it like what I meant what I meant was
6:17
I got to wake up too i ain't get no sleep last night so I got I'm I'm on fumes but um what I meant was the um the
6:23
industry it it it gave me enough to provide you know what I'm saying like I'm not no super millionaire rapper or
6:30
nothing like that but as long as I got a roof over my head you know fresh ass Bentley in the drive I mean fresh ass car in the driveway or you know uh this
6:38
and that i'm content and that that's self love i mean self u long as you happy within you kind of could care less
6:44
what everybody else is doing yeah so you know I've always had nice stuff kids are great and everybody kids through college
6:50
and all this stuff off of rap music no I don't have the 8 million sitting in the bank account but hundreds of thousands
6:57
work too bro did you always have the vision and the confidence that you would
7:02
be rapping like well into adulthood no that this was un because we we kind of
7:08
like an exper experimental generation so we don't know how how who gonna be the world's oldest rapper one day you know
7:14
what I'm saying with a record out yeah I'm 89 i got a new single but it just
7:20
depends on I mean um ll put out an album still making music still making music yeah why we stop we ain't got to stop
7:27
that's that like the expression is in you not on you pause but um it's like um I just I just
7:33
find a joy in it and all this music industry [Â __Â ] it's like if it come with it that's fine but I would be rapping in
7:39
the shower i would probably have a little you know ciphers in the car you know what I'm saying whatever if I
7:45
worked at UPS or whatever so you know it's just a um I like it you know that's all the reason I can say Catastrophe is
7:53

14:16
Attention Is Drug is a I love this song bro me too that's a good one n
14:23
man this song i feel like you just got that off like you assess the the the
14:28
sphere that we all living in right now especially with social media the digital space and the attention economy we're in
14:35
the attention economy we are in um what motivated like what day did you go you know what I want to write about this and
14:42
how did you pick the points that you wrote about um I I know the the I've heard the slogan attention is a drug
14:49
uhhuh before and some reason it popped in my head and I said that's a song right there i said let me just start
14:54
looking at this bush and you know and I started looking around and and as I wrote it when I finished it and everything people would would ask me
15:02
what motivated me I just told them look around you know what I'm saying and basically like it's it's kind of self-explanatory it's like way too much
15:07
[Â __Â ] going on like I grew up in a simple time i'm from the I ain't going to tell my my actual age but I'm a 70s baby
15:14
so are we man it's all good you can tell it i know i'm 53 so that's beautiful look at that man amen come on but just
15:21
looking at the the canvas of the game today right you know I I when I first
15:27
went to MTV Task you remember them that and then I was getting a lot of backlash from the the community like what was
15:34
Sway doing sway and what they doing thinking you was a sellout i don't know what they was thinking what I what I
15:39
knew is that we walked away from the beat at that time because they didn't want to play they didn't want us to play music like his or comments and so when
15:46
we walked away our phone stopped ringing wow people don't know that like Sway as
15:51
cool and nice as we you know respected that we were people stopped calling so when MTV said for the third time after I
15:58
told them no I said yeah you know and what I learned from it so I did get
16:04
backlash but I didn't care about that i was a grown ass um but the celebrity
16:09
that came with MTV right i started noticing even with myself how it
16:15
impacted me being so noticed and then how it impacted people that I thought I
16:20
knew around me you know and I was going to write a book about attention uh and celebrity um being a drug i feel like
16:28
it's just like sugar just like cocaine just like alcohol right they say it's
16:33
the strongest drug they say you can't break the addiction of wanting that attention that's what it's like a fact
16:39
or some [Â __Â ] have you ever been addicted to it nah I've been addicted to other [Â __Â ] but
16:45
not never attention nah I I stay I try to stay away from the lime like like
16:51
that's just always been me though if if swear to tell you when I get on the mic that's when I come out you know what I'm
16:57
saying you know this and that if not I be I tuck i don't I don't like to I
17:03
don't like to like pat myself on the back type [Â __Â ] you know what I mean like everybody else give me the attention I need so I don't need to walk around like
17:08
"Hey I'm Chaz i'm doper than you you you know what I'm saying i don't I'm the best MC that I never even thought like
