 Cx1DJs We Do Things Different Podcast "Untold Stories of Ice Cube" hosted by DJButterrock

O'Shea Jackson (born June 15, 1969), known professionally as Ice Cube, is an American rapper, songwriter, actor, and filmmaker. His efforts on N.W.A's 1989 album Straight Outta Compton contributed to gangsta rap's popularity,[3][4][5] and his political rap solo albums AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted (1990), Death Certificate (1991), and The Predator (1992) were all critically and commercially successful.[5][6][7][8] He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of N.W.A in 2016.[9]

A native of Los Angeles, Ice Cube formed his first rap group called C.I.A. in 1986.[10] In 1987, with Eazy-E and Dr. Dre, he formed the gangsta rap group N.W.A.[10] As its lead rapper, Ice Cube also wrote most of the lyrics on Straight Outta Compton,[3][5] a landmark album that shaped West Coast hip-hop's early violent and controversial identity and helped differentiate it from East Coast rap.[4][3][10] After a monetary dispute over the group's management by Eazy-E and Jerry Heller, Ice Cube left N.W.A in late 1989 and embarked on a solo career, releasing eleven albums, with seven charting within the top-10 on the U.S. Billboard 200. His singles "Straight Outta Compton", "It Was a Good Day", "Check Yo Self", "You Know How We Do It", "Bop Gun (One Nation)", "Pushin' Weight", and "You Can Do It" all charted in the top-40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[10]

Ice Cube has also had an active film career since the early 1990s.[11][12] His first acting role was in the hood film Boyz n the Hood (1991), named after a 1987 N.W.A. song he wrote.[4][11] He also co-wrote and starred in the 1995 comedy film Friday,[13] which spawned a franchise and reshaped his public image into an actor.[12] He made his directorial debut with the 1998 film The Players Club, and also produced and curated the film's accompanying soundtrack.[14] His film credits including the comedies Three Kings (1999), the Barbershop and Are We There Yet? franchises, 21 Jump Street (2012), 22 Jump Street, Ride Along (both 2014) and Ride Along 2 (2016). He has also appeared in the XXX franchise (2005–2017), the crime drama Rampart (2012), the animated fantasy The Book of Life (2014), and the thriller War of the Worlds (2025).[13] Ice Cube has also acted as executive producer, including for the 2015 biopic Straight Outta Compton.

Everybody know what you've been up to, T Cap.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

Man, working, man. Working, working, always living the dream, man, working towards the dream and accomplishing it. Like uh, you know, it's uh it's a never-ending uh race or marathon, as uh the late Nipsey Hussle will say. The marathon continues, man, because uh you know, uh starting as an artist and working our way up to management and things like that, man, that's a grind. That's a soup, a super grind, man. So yeah, man, just like I'm gonna continue, continue on that path with a lot of your mentorship, man. You know, you put me in the game. I was an artist when I met you.

SPEAKER_04 2:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

Yes, I was still on the I was on the open mic singing when I met you, brother. Yes, indeed. Yeah, you sure was.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

You you you you always, I'm gonna be honest, you was an artist, but you always was a boss. You always was a boss. And if y'all see me looking down and my my my uh keys is down here, so I can be back and forth looking at everything. Um, so you was always a boss, T Cap. So let everybody know, um briefly, nope, I can't get into the interview to uh to uh we got three more minutes. So you being now now you in your artistry, you was in Atlanta before I was in Atlanta. So what made you uh move to Atlanta?

SPEAKER_01 3:25

Man, um I'm just gonna say, man, like uh Carolina really never had motion like that. Like we never really could catch motion. We'll get a few to pop out here and there. Like, you know, you had Pete Pablo, took a minute, you had J. Cole, took a minute, then you had the baby. The baby tried to bring some along with him, but uh it's not too many that pop out, you know. So it was like the closest thing um was Atlanta, you know, like uh the only thing I even seen bubbling or remotely close to where I could go and really try to get some motion was Atlanta. And you know, uh to be honest with you, you know what I'm saying? I had just, you know, got our little situation. You know, you know, the situation we're gonna call them situations on here, you know, just case people watching. You know, I just got a little situation. So, you know, just being being back, you know, steady and getting on my feet. Um T.I. man, it was a song. It was my 21st birthday, I'll never forget it. And my cousin took me to the strip club for the first time down here in North Carolina on Club Refrect Reflections.

SPEAKER_02 4:35

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 4:35

And that song, TI, that that peep popper number one off of I'm serious, came on. I was like, dang, bro, I really I really rock with bro styles. So TI was like one of the first, one of the first rappers that I started, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, okay, man, I could rock with him and really listening to. But I didn't know the first album I ended up getting was um um what was it? Um trap music. So, you know, trap this this right here is like 2000, 2002. It's 2002, so I'm getting trap music. I'm like, dang, bro, yeah, trap, trap, the word just start popping, and you know, I mean, we know about the trap, so I'm like, dang, bro, I like this artist or whatever. Uh, but I didn't know that song that I like from the strip club was on his first album. I didn't know about his hustles and his grind. The fact that he already had a whole deal fell on, you know what I'm saying? Got terminated from the deal, and that whole song Rubber Band Man, he bounced back. That's why he named the rubber band man. So I like, dang, if they doing it like that in Atlanta, because you gotta think about it, bro. When I, you know, when I was about to move that way, bro, they was doing laughing taffies and and a whole bunch of dance music, bro. That was the the dance era in 2004. So you had once you once I got a hold of the TI and the young Jeezy, I was like, okay, okay, it's still a little bit of room for that that reel, you know what I'm saying? Yeah so that's sort of that that made me move to the A. Same thing as um as the football, you know, we ain't really get a football team until like 93. So you either had to you either had to go be an Atlanta Falcons fan or or the other closest was uh what the Washington Redskins back then. So you're trying to pick like the states that were close to you. I don't know how we got so many like Dallas Cowboy fans, because I'm actually a Dallas Cowboy fan too, because my pops, but uh you know what I'm saying? I'm Carolina Panthers first, but I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan. I grew up on them, you know what I'm saying? So but but yeah, we ain't have a team, bro. So it's the same thing with music, bro. We ain't really have the music scene. We never was really popping, bro. Like Carolinas, anybody can tell you, like, I don't know what it was, why they could never really get it together. Then once you know, once I move back here and I try to get in the mix, being in the Charlotte area, man, like I got a little taste of it. Like, dang, bro, they don't really know how to network, man. Everybody, everybody separate, everybody sort of against each other, and and you know what I'm saying. One thing about Atlanta, man, I learned about them boys in them zones, man. For me, performing all the way from bro, I done performed from Club Crucial to Chit Chat to Strokers to Magic City, the Masquerade, bro. I was all over Atlanta, but every every zone, bro, every zone when they was in them buildings, bro, they got alone, bro, and they gave each other their shine, they left people alone, whatever, man. Back when I was there, like I don't know what it what they doing right now, but it's like, man, Atlanta was Atlanta was united. That's why you see them boys trying to get it back together now, because that's why you have so many artists blow from out of there. But yeah, yeah, the Carolinas never got on that, they never got on that um wave, bro.

Bro, it was just a bunch of fight. I mean, this is like I'm not I'm not even trying to hype it up, man, but it was like gladiator school, bro. It was it was like I just saw uh Joe Button recently when he was like, yo, yeah, nah. I went I grew up, I mean, he he went to high school here in Longburg at Longburgh Institute, the same high school I went to. It's a charter school, you know. A lot of people just come out here.

That movie, Earl the Goat. So um, but yeah, man, it's nothing, bro. Like, I mean, literally, literally, it's like one of those towns, few stoplights. They just starting to build up a little bit, you know what I'm saying? They got the Walmart, but that's it. That's the superstore. They don't have no other stores even competing with Walmart. So it's it's nothing, bro.

SPEAKER_01 12:55

Man, T Cap.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

Who are you?

SPEAKER_01 12:57

Hey, man, I'm just a uh a young dude, man. That well, I was a young dude starting out trying to do this music thing, like most young dudes were. Um went through it, went through it with the music industry, man, trying to become an artist. And basically finally leveled up when I met my big brother Butterrock. I was our artist until I met Butterrock, man. I was, look, when 21 Savage was saying that Atlanta, they they prep you when you get to Atlanta for that scene. The first place I ever got my music played in Atlanta was Strokers. 20 uh 2004, when Jeezy caught his case. You know what I'm saying? Outside strokers. Uh Ty Sway was on the radio back then. And I don't know what happened to Ty Sway, but he took my single, man. I had come from North Carolina with three songs. He took one of them songs and he was just playing it in strokes. I didn't know the culture. We don't have that many strip clubs here in North Carolina. So it was just like, yo, man, you gotta tip a little bit while your song playing. I'm like, okay, all right, that's cool. I'm tipping a little bit. You know, I just got a little job. I was working at Starbucks at the time. I just got my little, got a little check. So I'm tipping a little bit, but I'm seeing guys, they bro, it really when they say make it rain, you see ones, fives, everything just coming from the ceiling, bro. They just coming from the ceiling on you, like, yo, bro, I gotta level, level up. So it's just like, you know, going through that, knowing that you gotta have your money right, man, if you want to do this music.

SPEAKER_00 14:34

You got to.

SPEAKER_01 14:35

It costs, it costs, and it's an investment in you. You gotta invest in yourself. So me being an artist and being all the way in Atlanta by myself, like you know what I'm saying? My cousin was there, but my cousin sort of jumped out the music scene. Yeah, he brought me there to be in the music scene, but he jumped out and focused on work. So I kept going. I was like, bro, I ain't come here not to make it, like, no, bro. Like, I just kept pushing. So from 2004, I dropped my first album in 2010. The first big single I had, besides the one that Ty Sway had, was called Salute Me. Now, think about this. No, it was called Salute, yeah, salute me. So with Salute Me, the opening lines was salute me or shoot me. This is before the Waka Flocker came out with his mixtapes and all that. I was performing that everywhere from Crucial to like, man, I was everywhere with that song, you know what I'm saying? And this is my space days, Twitter days. So, you know what I mean? I was what man, I can't tell you, I don't know if the analytics was real, but bro, I can't tell you how many times I was top five in Georgia on that reverb nation, bro.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

Now, yeah, one thing I say about one thing I gotta say about reverb nation, that's real. The real analytics on reverb bro, top five.

SPEAKER_01 15:53

I stayed top five a few times. I mean, a lot, a lot on on Reverb Nation when I was really pushing those singles, bro. So it's like I had them singles out there, man. Like I said, salute was my first one. Salute was shooting, you know what I'm saying? Like I did a good run. Top five, dead or alive, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 16:11

Like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you can't beat you can't beat that. Now, um, real quick, um, so you moved to Atlanta to do the music, or you moved to Atlanta to get a record deal, or you moved to Atlanta for a better, better life.

SPEAKER_01 16:27

Man, to get a record deal, man. Like uh, I mean, I knew it was gonna be a better life if I got a record deal. Because, boy, when I got to Atlanta, Atlanta is Atlanta ain't all dancing and and music, bro. I mess around and winning some some areas and some areas, and it's the same thing that I was trying to get away from in North Carolina. It was right there in Atlanta, man. I I found it. I mean, I can't say I found it or it found me. Some way we found each other, but yeah, yeah, I got in the mix.

SPEAKER_00 16:59

So, so what would you tell a aspiring artist from North Carolina to stay in North Carolina and try to make it work or come to Atlanta or go to LA? Would you tell them to do the same thing you did, or you tell them to stay where they at and try to work?

SPEAKER_01 17:13

Network, bro. You can stay from home now. It wasn't no digital, bro. Gorilla marketing, bro. Like that, yeah. Uh, this is this is a story I have for you, and I know you can me and you on the same page with this. I was talking to Levi the other day, and I was like, bro, do you realize when I first put out my album that the quota I put the quota out in 2010? Yes, they was charging $50, like $49 and some change. So it totaled out to be $50 to put your album out on Tune Core. Yep. You know, I I barely evened out because it was only like iTunes back then in 2010. It wasn't like no Spotify and the Apple Music, all these different players, and you know what I'm saying? So man, I barely like leveled out to make $50 a whole year. So the next year, when that $50 came back, I was selling more, selling more albums and and pressed up CDs on the streets than I was ever selling like online. People was like, man, what I'm gonna do downloading your single, like what can I do? You know, like they didn't really have iTunes. Everybody didn't have like the iPhones and things like that, you know. So man, I sold I had to cancel that Tune Core album, and that's that's when I started putting out singles. Now think about it. I said this is 2010. I had the album on there. Bro, I didn't even I broke even that first year. The next year I didn't sell as much because it was like everybody was just buying them from me um in person. You didn't have like the marketing and stuff that you have online where I could just hit somebody, I can go on Facebook and just send you a message on Messenger and be like, hey man, buy my album. No, you gotta whoever you know is who you know, you know what I mean? So when I met you in 2012, yes, that's when I put out the single gossip. Yes, you see what I'm saying, and that's when you took it, you took it, you pressed up my my CDs, you made me the album cover, and we just took we rolled that, bro. We rolled that for years. We wrote we rolled it for years. We rolled it, we rolled that single for years, bro. So I had more success off that one, even though I still had it on digital, I made I made more and did more with that one single than I did with that album those two years back, bro. So, like, yeah, no, with this digital age, man, stay at home network. Everybody that you can actually reach out to, you can reach out to on here. Meet me, you do have to get on the road, though. Don't get me wrong. Like, whoever you target, whatever artist you can link up with, DJs, promoters, whatever you can link up with, you go holler at them. You hit the road and holler at them. You see what I'm saying? Because they're gonna set you up with a show. Now you're in a whole nother state in a whole nother market doing a show, but never never diss another artist, man. This somebody else, something like that, because you never know what position they can put you in. That might just be a feature to get you in a whole nother area.

SPEAKER_00 20:07

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 20:08

You see what I'm saying? So I had to learn that. So LT up to speed. I see.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

I was part of other crews and I was doing my other shit, but I but I actually just left a couple other DJ crews, all right? I started CS1 DJs and I was trying to look for whoever's the hot one. It wasn't about charging no artists either. It was more about getting out there and trying to find like what I'm doing now. What I just did with with the with the podcast, y'all.

I just seen the hot dad. He was like jumping Julian. I look, I was like, hold on, I know who this is. And then look, that country girl, you know, that's Charlene. Oh, yeah. What's up, Charlene? What up, baby? Yeah, that's Charlene, man.

I know his mom, Brittany, on here too. And LT, he up there. But yeah, that's who that is. I just had to read it. I was like, all right, but nah, gossip, man. Gossip, it was, it was sort of like uh how I felt about rap at the time, man. Because rap has started. Uh, look at Charlene talking about love y'all. Rap has started like from 2004 when I got into it to around 2012, man, it started to die off a little bit. Like, yeah, you still had your hard rap and stuff like that, but it was like, man, what are y'all what are y'all rapping about though, man? TI was still running, he was still doing his thing, but uh that's why you you noticed in the beginning, I was like, y'all ain't talking about nothing. So miss me with all the games. Who said I ain't busting? That's how I know y'all lame. You know what I mean? So it was just it was that. Like, y'all ain't talking about nothing. The same thing Kendrick's saying now. Y'all ain't talking about nothing. Like, I got that from my bro. My bro was big. My bro, like in the beginning of the gossip video, y'all think about this. That's what that was his saying. Y'all, oh look, they ain't talking about nothing. Cause they ain't talking about nothing. Like, you know what I'm saying? That's his saying. Like, he always say that. He was like, bro, they ain't talking about nothing because they ain't talking about nothing. I was like, okay, bro. Like he used to push it, Capone pushed that. Like, to this day, he still says that. And like, you know, I mean, you know his situation, you know. Yeah, so I had to tell him, I'm like, yo, Kenneth just came out with a song, bro. They finally caught on to your lingo, bro. Cause like he got a whole song talking about y'all ain't talking about nothing, cause y'all ain't talking about nothing. You know what I mean? But that's why I came up with gossip, man. He he pushed that on me. So this 2012, that's his lingo. I just took some of his lingo, you know, being on the phone with him, you know, him him chopping it up from being inside. I always take his lingo, man. Like Carolina, everything. He he came up with Carolina everything. I just like a lot of his stuff and his and his uh creativity, man. I just try to put information, man. I just try to, you know, push it to the forefront.

SPEAKER_00 29:17

Let's let's start let's talk about Big Bro real quick. So what that was was Capone, and I'm I I met Capone, very good brother. Shout out to LT. He's a rip, Capone is a very positive brother. And uh, and he he uh he he believed in the music, he believed in his um, he believed in everything that Caroline, everything LLC is doing, he's behind it 100%. So let's talk about Capone. Was he your inspiration of getting into rapping? Was he rapping first?

SPEAKER_01 29:48

He was right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was rapping first, man. He was rapping first, he was more like the ghost face. Because when we was younger, he had to stutter. But when he rapped he just rapped all the way through. So I was like, man, that's kind of crazy. Like, you know, you sort of like ghost face to me. So it was more on some Utain type stuff, but then I I gradually went into the mob deep, you know. Prodigy was the inspiration for me. Yeah, uh, when I first started rapping, but uh yeah, bro, bro was rapping, man. Bro was rapping and he can draw. So it was like he had them, and they were both going hand in hand, you know. So um he just, you know, like a lot of us, bro. Like, you can either do this and be where we are, sitting in front of each other doing this, or you can be behind that glass making them calls, bro. Like it weren't too many options for us, man. We just we just chose this path, and bro, it's like he was always fast, he was always fast. He like he thought things out. He's a thinker, he's a smart brother, but at the same time, man, he just moved too fast. You know what I mean? Me, I was always like, all right, hold on. I was hesitant about a lot of a lot of moves, man. But him, he just go, go, go. It's like the tortoise in the hair. He still called me the tortoise. I call him the hair. I'm like, look, bro, we're gonna get that at the same time, whether you know it or not. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 31:03

Exactly. So this so you you doing this for him, or you doing this for you, and you're doing it for the family.

SPEAKER_01 31:11

Man, I'm doing it. I'm doing it for me, but I'm doing it for the family too. Like, I'm doing it for the family. I'm definitely doing it for bro, until you know what I'm saying, bro can do it. I'm gonna do it to I'm gonna do it for bro until bro can do it for itself. You know what I'm saying? Till they free him, you know what I'm saying? He'll be home soon. Like, what 2027? He got two, like really one more year. It's already about 2026. 2027, he'll be home. It's gonna be a whole different story. Cause this time, we I just know it's crazy. You gotta think about when you're growing up with people and people like your brothers and even cousins and and just people like your close friends. You learn them and you learn what you gotta do. So I know I gotta keep them busy. Yeah, I can't give him time to be idle in no type way, bro. I gotta nah, we're going here. We're going to we're going to Atlanta to see Butter Rock now. Butter Rock got this play for us. Yep, it's always got to be this, bro. Uh no, no, no, I got your next move. Nah, bro, we're not doing this, we on this.

SPEAKER_00 32:06

And Capone, you know, we out here representing you, DJ Butter Rock, CX1 DJs, Caroline, everything. You never forgetting. We never, but people behind the walls, some people forget them. You can tell who's the real the real ones, because when you're gone, I watch some family members forget people. I watch so-called best friends forget people. DJ Butter Rock will never forget you, Capone. Keep your head up. You already know your brother ain't gonna forget you. TCAP, Caroline, everything. I want to make sure we break put that in there before we get too deep in this interview. Shout out to Capone. We see you home soon. We see you home soon. And everybody in the feds, man.

It's gonna be crazy. I gotta shout him out. Because he signed to Carolina Everything LLC. So, what made you uh do the management? What made you want to go from a rapper to doing the management thing?

SPEAKER_01 33:24

Bro, I'm gonna be a hundred percent with you, bro. It was being around you, bro. You and Punga Foot so funny, man. Like, I was like, damn, bro, if he can do this with her, bro, like I know I can because my nephew had already got in a little situation where somebody had taken his music, put it out, didn't break him off, nothing, didn't didn't you know play fair with him at all, man. So I was like, yo, you know what, man?

SPEAKER_00 33:47

Let me hey hold up. Shout out to DJ Money that checked in. He late for the party, but he here.

SPEAKER_01 33:54

But money's on here. Shout out to CX1 DJ's president, DJ Money. He's in here. And money, you gotta you gotta hang out with us now. Don't go nowhere now. You get the horn money. All right, and that's a real DJ over there. That's a real DJ. DJ, my DJ better than your DJ. We got DJ Money! All right, all right, back to you, T Cap. What made you want to rap again? I know no, no, do the management thing. You said because me and public, but it was you, bro. Like at first.

SPEAKER_01 34:50

Me? Yeah, bro. Yeah, yo, yo, yo. I had to think back. I was like, damn, bro, like what? How did I get into management? It was just being around, being around you. Like it was like, all right, bro, I'm an artist. I was in artist mode.

SPEAKER_00 35:04

I can't wait from the city. You know what? I I can't take it. I can't take that. I'm gonna take I'm gonna take the compliment, but I'm gonna tell you something about you. You maybe I might have pushed you to do it, but you had it in you already. I saw it.

unknown 35:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:19

So one thing about me, one thing about me, when people give me my flowers, I'm gonna take them, but I'm also gonna tell a person that gave it to me. If I already saw that in you, and you was already kind of already doing it, because your other jobs. This is what I'm gonna tell a person. If you're already in management, yeah, working with somebody else in the corporate world, you could manage if you can manage a store, you can manage an artist, you can manage a DJ. If you already have that mentality, you can do that. All you're doing is dripping it to the uh another industry. If you're already a leader and you know how to lead the pack, you could do that. It don't matter what industry it is. So, TCAP, I'm gonna give you that. I take the flowers, but you already was doing the damn thing, you was already a manager.

SPEAKER_01 36:00

Yeah, brother, because look, look, like I didn't know what it looked like up close. You see what I'm saying? Okay, I was like, all right, like it just wasn't it wasn't like me being a coach, I still felt like the player. I was like, bro, I'm in the game, like bro, I'm Kobe. I'm like, yo, but I'm Kobe, bro. I don't want to be the coach, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 36:18

Let me let me give you your motherfucking flowers. All right, where's my horns at? This dude managed the hell out of LT. Yeah, yeah, they had LT all over the place. Lt cable. Yo, I wish I could upload the video, but I can't do it because I got music in it. Yo, LT was a star. He's still a star. When this dude right here was managing, when you he still managed LT, don't get it too a small. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When the era, we talk about 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, when they would, they would, they had the way it goes with LT from North Carolina to Atlanta, and they always rock with me. So I love you for that, T Cap. Oh yeah. I watched LT when he was a young man till he grew up to be uh a grown adult now. And I watched, I watched the artist, the artist, excuse me. Because a lot of you rappers don't understand this. You still need artist development. I watched, I watched T Cap. I got I I whatever he learned for me, I appreciate it. But I watched him take whatever he learned for me and others, because we're gonna get into T Cap been around a whole bunch of people before he met me. And I told myself in my new journey, I'm gonna take credit, the credit that I'm supposed to take, but I'm not taking all the credit because I'm I'm sick of these DJs and record tasters and record breakers, take all the credit for a success for a person that already been doing this shit. All they need is a little push. So that's when I'm DJ Butter Rock ain't doing that. If that ain't my credit, I don't want to, I take half of that credit. So TCAP, I don't live in North Carolina. He moved from Atlanta back to North Carolina. This is a true story. I want y'all to listen to the shit. He was doing artist development, artist development, you know what I'm talking about, artist development, with his artists, uh LT up to speed. Every time they came to one of my shows, a year later, two years later, six months later, LT was sharper. His stage presence was sharper. It didn't matter who was in the building. When he hit that stage, he was a star. I took, we did a we did a big event. I said, yo, uh, my artist was there, everybody, it was a lot of artists there. I took T Cap beside and said, yo, LT was the best motherfucker in here. And he was.

SPEAKER_02 38:33

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 38:34

He was. And I'm not just saying this because he's on here. I told T Cap this the day of the show. After the show was over, I said, man, that that dude is a star right there.

SPEAKER_03 38:45

Yup.

SPEAKER_00 38:46

He was better than my he was better than my artist at that that day.

SPEAKER_02 38:50

That day.

SPEAKER_00 38:51

He killed every damn body. In the beginning, they was even. I said, God damn it. Yo, man. He he smoked everybody in the goddamn, including my artist. I was like, yo. Hey, you win some, you lose some. That's it. But one thing about me, I'm not gonna downsize if a motherfucker better have my talent that came up behind me. Because I gotta ask myself, who's flipping? It ain't me. A lot of people got personal shit going on. So Punk Foot wasn't on her one, two at the time. I'm not hating on that, but I tell a person, you always gotta be on your grind. Punk a foot is a hell of an artist. I ain't taking my taking that from her. But that particular show, it was a lot of artists. LT killed everybody in there. It was about 50 artists in there. What I mean by killing, I gotta give you applause, goddammit. Today's performance was on 10. Wardrobe was on 10. Presence. Today's performance and presence is two different things. Presence, but when you walk in, you got people gotta turn around and go, who the fuck is that? He had that. If you walk in a building and nobody don't say, damn, who that is, you you don't look like a star when you walk in, then it's something someone's not doing right. At that part of LT career, he was at my event. Okay. He was a star. And everybody told him that when he was there. And if he's still on here watching, don't think we overlooked that. You was a star there, and you was managed by this guy right here. You was under Caroline Everything LLC, the help of Capone, T Cap, Levi. That was a joint effort. When I mentioned Levi and Capone, that's all the Caroline Everything LLC umbrella that's that's owned by TCAP ET. So I can't, I would of course you gotta have a team. Like T Cap, he made sure he set up his. I'm gonna tell you what this nigga did. So T Cap. I'm not I ain't I I can't, I got he made sure he had a videographer. He made sure he had the wardrobe right. Him and his brother had the bit they had their business. I was so proud of Capone and T Cap when I saw him. Most people, when they see people climbing or might, they might pass them, some people would get jealous of that success. I was saluting that. Ain't no too many people like me. I'm instead of knocking you down and trying to compete against you, I was saluting it.

SPEAKER_01 41:40

Yeah. Well, a hundred percent. That's why when I say I got the management. So that's I would say it like that. I watched you so much when it was time to like, all right, bro, I'm gonna step back from rapping a little bit. I'm gonna move back home. Bro coming home. That's when Capone came home the first time. LT was about to graduate high school. I was like, man, I'm gonna go manage nephew. Nephew, somebody done jacked his music. Bro about to come home. Bro, I'm still gonna be working with you, Butterrock. And you guided me the whole way. Even had nephew on the conference call for his first ever, like, you know, first ever interview and everything else, man. So, you know, first ever show, Butterrock, you know. So that's why I say, man, like I gotta give you your flowers, bro, and salute you. Like a lot of stuff, me and you talk all the time, and we say, bro, but I don't never really like tell you directly because it's like, yo, bro, it's already understood, man. Bro, now I got mad love for him. That's big, bro. Bro, being with me, you know what I'm saying, shh, forever now, bro. You know what I'm saying? We're going on 14 years, brother. Yeah, over a decade.

SPEAKER_00 42:47

Yeah, a long time.

SPEAKER_01 42:48

A long time, brother.

SPEAKER_00 42:50

Now we're about to get it's it's eight, it's 836. That's part of it. This part of this meeting, we're gonna get a little deep. So let's get into it. Nate name all the shows you did with CX1 DJs. Can you you do you got them down the list?

SPEAKER_01 43:05

I remember the first one was the South Carolina show. We was in Columbia, South Carolina.

SPEAKER_00 43:09

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 43:11

We had other DJ crews there.

SPEAKER_00 43:13

Yeah, we had we could we could mention them. We had Nerve DJs, Nerve DJs, uh, on on the ground DJs, and uh a couple and and um X squad DJs.

SPEAKER_01 43:24

Okay, X Squad, because that's why I met the dude with Jamel or something like that. They they yeah, top guy. You introduced me all those guys, man. That's why I met Johnny O. Yeah, you introduced me those. That's why I said, man, me as an artist, you introduced me to these people like you weren't holding nothing back. Like, nah, this is my guy, T Cap, man. I'm gonna send y'all his music. Sent me, sent my music to yeah, bro. Show love. So after that, um, so Carolina. Don't forget nothing, don't forget nothing. Oh man, I ain't look. We're gonna, I'm gonna throw this out here because we know we gotta get into this. This is cause we got to get all the Way to the you know yeah yeah so we so the DJ at the first show who I met that day in South Carolina was Cat X. That was a DJ at the time. I met Cat X, he was a CX1 DJ at the time, so yeah, yeah, you know he was he was a DJ. He was at the first show, that's why I met him. He was like, all right, bro, keep all right, bro. We we keeping it real, right? You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Please keep it real. You're like, yo, all right, but it's kind of early. I first met him. He was like, hey, bro, he was by the bar. He was like, all right, now you gotta. I forgot who was talking to. You're like, yo, bro, gotta get him away from that bar. And I was like, okay, you got him away from the bar. He DJ'd he did his thing and shit. Yeah, he did it.

SPEAKER_00 44:42

And and and and what what what we gotta I'm gonna as you talk, I'm gonna pull, I'm gonna jump in. Yeah, the couple, whatever you don't got. So you gotta understand something. Now I want everybody to hear this. I'm drinking lemonade. I ain't drinking no alcohol in there. I like how he broke that down. So Cat X was at the bar politicking. Keep in mind when we did that show with the nerve DJs and all the DJ crews in Columbia, South Carolina. That's the that was in 2012. 2012. Me and Cat X just joined Forces. I bring him on to be the head up the head operation for CX1 DJs. Now this got a lot to do with with TCAP. I'm gonna just get there. At the time we was when we joined Forces, he had Mix Moppy Radio. I had CX1 DJs, we came together, he came on to be a part of CX1 DJs, he signed our contract. We don't do business unless you sign a contract. CADEX signed a contract, alright? Now this got a lot to do with T Cap, so I want to get off to it. We as a breaking artist, T Cap was on an artist when he was breaking. Cad X know that none of the other DJ crews get along. Alright? Nobody got the fuck along. I'm gonna say this again. None of us liked each other. But we have to smile and kiss and shake hands like we give a fuck about each other. In reality, we wish a motherfucker died, go to jail. So T Cap was one of the outsider artists. Honestly, let me besides Punkinfoot, he was the one next to Punkinfoot that we was pushing. The CX1 DJs coalition. T Cap. So you if you know any history, if you guys could Google this shit. Anybody got any history of CX1 DJs? It was two artists we was pushing. That was Punkinfoot and T Cap. That's the history in the beginning. So he's like the beginning. Then we had a bunch of other artists that came on. So they keep it jiggy with it. Me and CADX was actually saying, fuck all the DJ crews. Fuck fleet, fuck Nerve DJs, fuck Corn D, fuck everybody. Only the one, only two D. I won't say fuck. Well, I didn't say fuck. But we we got cool with Johnny O. He was cool. But at that point, you know, I'm cool with Johnny O. I'm cool with Nerve now. But I'm talking about in 2012, I didn't give a fuck about nobody. And I came from Nerve, but I saw the not the unity that none of the crews had. This ain't one particular crew, this all the motherfucking crews. I've been in part of about 50 DJ crews before I started CS1 DJs. So what I'm saying is when uh we when we me and Cadic got together to say fuck everybody, all of a sudden, T Cap, it went to I want to be a part of them. What the fuck? Where the hell are we saying fuck everybody? But now you're but now you're a part of them. What? T Cap, I ain't gonna take your interview.

SPEAKER_01 47:59

No, no, no, look, because that's look, that's why I said that. Because it was like we started out that way. That's the way I was introduced. This is the DJ. I know you the DJ, but you also was host of the shows. You was putting everything together, and I was like, all right, boom. Yeah, next show. The next show, bro. We had like a bro, we man, butterp was a lot of shows.

SPEAKER_00 48:21

I remember we we did a lot. We did we did all stars, we did um did all stars with fiend.

SPEAKER_01 48:26

We had fiend there at all stars from no limit.

SPEAKER_00 48:29

What I'm gonna do, because my P artist texts me, she said, Butterrop. Julia Simpson just told me, she said, yo, keep it classy.

SPEAKER_01 48:36

Oh, yeah, yeah, keep it classy, not necessarily too much mud.

SPEAKER_00 48:40

She didn't she just told me to keep it classy. So if you notice, I'm looking at my phone. She's like, I'll go out the cup. She said, keep she said, keep. Well, I'm gonna read what she said. Keep that shit classy. Alright, so we go, I'm gonna listen to my PR.

SPEAKER_01 48:53

Right. Right.

SPEAKER_00 48:54

She watched she watching the shit. I'm gonna keep it classy. Alright, listen here. I'm gonna I'm gonna sum it up and get back to TCAP. She said, she told me to get back to you. Alright, this is what we're gonna do. We did multiple shows with with with CADEx. And when I'm locking with a DJ, like we got DJ Money. When I'm locked in with a one DJ, I don't go and get any other CS1 DJs. Once we locked in, we locked in. One thing I will say about DJ Money, he keeps it trail. I mean, he he he do the events. We we know that's kind of what me and Cad X was doing. This ain't a CADEx interview. What I'm saying is straight up. I met him and he was the DJ. Like if I had DJ Money doing all the shows, then then uh TCAP could talk about DJ Money. So the history of T Cap gotta, we gotta we can't not mention the shit that happened. We gotta mention it. Yeah, so let me ask you a question. Did any other DJ try to holler at you, try to get you from CS4 DJs when you was with us? Did that happen? Like give me their number to give you that number. Say, hey man, come over here.

SPEAKER_01 49:58

Nah, man, because you gotta think about it. Like, you know, we move militant, man. Me, you always move militant. It was like, yeah, you was like, nah, bro, I'll give you I like bro. I don't want nobody's numbers, I don't want nobody to be able to reach me. They need to holler at you. You was so you like my manager too at the time. I like, yeah, bro, you look you my active manager. Like, so if they need to holler, they need to holler through you. And people knew that. So, like to any artist out there that's listening, bro, you gotta have those type morals. That those type morals where people know you're not accessible. It's like, nah, bro, like I'm I'm not just like I don't move, I move a certain way. Like, I'm a straight up person, I'm a loyal person. Like, if I'm on your team, bro, I'm on your team. Like, so they gotta know that, you know. People gotta know that out there, man, because it's a lot of artists.

So he told he witnessed CADEX rating up ratting on me to the cops.

SPEAKER_00 55:36

Yeah, Caddox said, I'm gonna say they was trying to treat me like the crush crew, like he had like the full force outside with him. He had his niggas with him, and then uh the cops came. The club owner called the cops, I ain't calling cops. He like you know, he said Butter Rock called the cops. If you tell him the cops I got guns and shit, why would I call the cops? Right. If I'm dirty, I ain't you put two and two together. Because they said we were about to fuck Butter Rock up. Yeah, but you said I had guns, so you wasn't fucking me up, not that night. Not that night, I wasn't getting fucked up. I was not getting fucked up that night at all.

SPEAKER_01 56:13

Look, so look, long story short, the run after that off the chain was crazy.

SPEAKER_00 56:23

Check this out, T Kappa, because I love it. The run after that. Keep in mind, y'all. The Friday that he threw his shirt off. Hey, fuck y'all, nigga. Shorty Lowe came. It was P. Brown, everybody in the city came. Okay, that was Friday. The Saturday that shit happened. He came to pick up his equipment and they call they something trying to do something to me, and the cops showed up, and he told the cops I had pistols and shit, and cocaine, and guns, and oozies, and shit. Whatever he said I had. So we're talking about DJ Cad X, celebrity DJ Cadx. So he went. I'm gonna let him tell the rest of the story. But at that time, he I fired him, he quit. Well, how y'all want to say it? And Cadx, you know, we ain't lying over here. We're not gonna lie on the CS1 DJs. We do things different podcasts, and we ain't slandering nobody. We're gonna just gonna keep this this is a story that T Cat witnessed.

SPEAKER_01 57:18

It messed, look, it messed, it messed up the brand, bro. Like it was like a lot of artists that was about we were coming up with that. Like me, Julie, cuz like we coming up, we making a name in Atlanta, we making a name everywhere, man. It was only gonna grow. So, with that happening, that was like, bro, like you said, me and you talked about it, you're like, Yeah, I had a little ego, I could have handled it different. I wish he handled it, it was like left, bro. Like, you don't do bro, you don't do that, man.

SPEAKER_00 57:48

I I I'm gonna say this if Cad X ever if CadEx ever seen this video, which I'm know he will, I wish I handled that different. Because I'm ready professional. And I made my I let my ego get in front of, I let my uh me thinking I'm the shit get in front of the business. What I tell every DJ, listen, look at me, I'm gonna talk to you guys right now. Learn from my mistake. This video is not to shit on a disc Cadx. No, let me say his name right. Celebrity DJ Cadex from Charlotte, mixed mafia radio. So let's talk about the right person here. This story is told by TCAP. I'm just confirming it. And I'm I'm I'm stamping it because it's a true damn story. We're not here to shit on him. We're here to tell you artists and you DJs, managers, if you ever get in a position when your when you your whole team is winning, don't let your personality, don't let your ego, don't let your think you better than the fucking program fuck it all up for everybody in the program. My ass, as the owner of CX1 DJs, should have ignored a lot of shit. And I should have, I should have thought about my whole team and not just me and CADX, which he was the head operation. We was we say we was in the Walmart, and I'm the star, I'm the district manager, he was the manager. So you got the you got the district manager and the manager fighting. How the fuck is that professional? So being I'm over him, my ass is gonna take the blame for what happened in that 2015 music. And that was the CX1 DJs 2015 music conference. This happened in front of Baby D. Baby D was there. It just happened in front of everybody that I fired him, he quit, he threw a shirt in there. It was crazy.

SPEAKER_01 59:38

Look, look, Kevin Gates, uh, artist BWA Kane. Everybody was like, bro, we had everybody in there. So that's what I'm saying. We was in position. We was in position. Whatever we would have did next, it would have had the momentum on it. So that's why, you know what I'm saying? I see why, you know, G Cuz feel the way he feels, and you know, GD ain't even rot with it no more after that, bro. So a lot of things like, you know, he did a couple other shows after that, but you know what I'm saying? It was just T Cap.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:08

I'm gonna say this real quick. If you really fuck with me, you should still be here anyway. So it shows you, it shows you who really fucked with you. I understand some people work and then people got other things. But if you really fuck with a motherfucker, you'll still, it don't matter if I shot a motherfucker, I was wrong for doing that. I'm just saying if I did, and if I got bored, I'm in I'm in prison, you still should send me some money, make sure my family right. I'm not perfect. So whatever happened at that music conference, me, if you really rock with CS1 DJs, you still should have rocked with CS1 DJs up to this point.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:54

That's all I'm saying. But we're gonna we're gonna move on from that and we're gonna get to um so I'll let you do it, uh, TCap. So after that, what happened after that?

SPEAKER_01 1:01:02

All right, so man, after that, man, like the show must go on, man. Like, we really we got closer, man. We uh we all grew closer, like definitely me, you and Funkerfoot. And like we really had an infamous run, man. We the Alabama show. The Alabama show was crazy, man. Cause that was different. You know what I mean? Um, we uh, you know what I'm saying? We got more of the family vibe, man. We started going together and doing our thing.

Them boys got off, like they got off on that stage, like you know what I mean. I was proud of like you know, it was a full circle moment just for me to be that's when I really felt like a manager, like you know what I'm saying? I felt like a manager the whole time with LT, but just to bring them back home, like CX1 DJs, that's the home. I was the president of the CX1 DJs, it's home to me, you know what I'm saying? So you see what I'm saying? So this is home to me, you know what I mean? So it's just like to be able to bring my own artist back here, and then you you like still give me porn as like nah Lt on point. You even knew when I'm sorry I can say this now. You even knew when it was smacked out of his mind with it when him and Grizz was on the gummies, like they took too many edibles and was like smack, and you're like, bro, like what was going on with him, bro? Like, he did good, the performance wasn't bad, but like yeah, his energy and like his whole way, bro. So, what's I like? Bro, they were smack, bro.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:55

And um, I'm I'm gonna be honest because I'm I'm a real dude. So being you mentioned it, it was years after that me and Cadx got back together. And one thing I one thing I will say about DJ Caddyx. When he's when we when me and him was on the same page, we do the best events ever.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:16

But unfortunately, the history, man, it's a he's part of the history, bro.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:22

If anybody talks about CX1 DJs and they don't mention DJ Bardark and Cad X, they're not telling you the real CX1 DJ story. You cannot even when I do the documentary, his name is in there. His video, I got pictures because I own all the video and pictures. Because my people shot it. So I cannot do the documentary without saying I downs and falls.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:52

I'm following on Instagram.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:53

Fuck the child that nigga. Yeah, he got some real stories, man. Like they they got on his head though, and they're talking about you was hiding behind that that damn truck. Mace, mace is uh damn that shit was crazy.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:03

So so real quick, T Cat, what what was the worst thing that happened to you while you was in this music in the street?

SPEAKER_01 1:09:09

Shit, all the money I lost, bro. Like I brought all the money I spent, man, like buying beats, beats that you know what I'm saying wasn't even that I couldn't even really use when you really think about it is never your beat, bro. Uh, because you don't really know the whole exclusive rights game and things like that. Uh pretty much um starting out, starting out with the support. You know, people supporting you, rocking with you, man. But the longer you in it, man, and you don't really get to where you need to be, man, people gonna you're gonna see people starting to fall off, man, and leave you and and really jump and ship, man. Like you'll start off, you'll start off, man, like you said, with a large group, man, and a lot of people, man, a lot of supporters. And uh, man, you'll end by yourself. You end up by yourself. Some people end up broke by themselves because they spin out before they can get there mentally, man. Have that revelation, like, okay, man, bro, I ain't about to I ain't about to sit here and I gotta I gotta restrategize what I'm doing, man, because something not working. So I was able to do that, man. I was able to make that pivot to being a manager and still be in the music, still drop music here and there, but focus more on the artists, man, that got that that youth in them. You know what I mean? Like, cause it's it's not really solely a young person sport, a young man's game, but you got to find your lane. Like, so now with the clips and and so many older artists, man. Um Nas, just his whole roster, bro, like that mass appeal. You just had Ghostface, um, Raekwan. He just dropped a tape with DJ Premier. Um, it's somebody else, bro. That's you know what I'm saying? Older than older than me. They just dropped oh have Havoc from um Havoc and Um P just dropped one, you know what I'm saying? That last, that last mob album. So, man, it's like, you know, you just find your lane, man. But the worst thing that happened, bro, was just like uh just losing people, man, losing people along the way, losing them to not supporting you no more, and life, you know what I'm saying, sort of taking, you know, toll on them or whatever, or and then actually like losing people that never got to see you uh, you know, get to where you need to get or get to where you want it to be or where they think you should be, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, uh I am, you know, we we some talented brothers, man. Like, we're good at what we do, man. We're good at what we do. Cause I see people that's not good at what they do. So I know I know great, I know good DJs when I see them, I know good artists when I see them, I know good managers when I see them, you know. So it's just like, you know, when you when you're good at something, man, like not to really reap the benefits for um from it um at all. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like I've been reaping the benefits from it just because I'm still locked in, tied in, still able to make that call. Hey man, what you got going on? Hey, bro, we're doing this show, bro. Y'all part of the show. So I always kept my relationship intact. But if I wouldn't have never had that, if I wouldn't have never been solid and built a solid relationship with somebody that stays in the game, stays in the industry, man, I would have faded out. That's what the problem with people, man. They burn bridges. So when you burn bridges with the wrong people, bro, like it's your career is done, whether you know it or not, you know.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:25

I'm gonna ask you a question that I see other people say this word and answer it correctly. Um you think relationships get you places quicker than money? If you have money to buy the same thing, you think relationships you what which one would which one you think is better? Having money and getting where you need to go, or having relationships?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:48

Uh money.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:50

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:51

The only reason I say money too, man, because relationship might get you there. They're gonna get you a wave or a hey, how you doing a handshake? Like this is my this is my friend, this is my friend, this little buddy.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:01

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:01

But what's gonna get you through the door and keep you in the door is money, man.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:05

Yep, because I tell a person, most of these people not only in Atlanta, but around the world, you claim you got a relationship with them, they'll use you for what the hell they need you for, yeah, or uh try to mimic you, but the money is always gonna long as you got that money, you're good. People say relationships get you places money can't. Bullshit. If anybody ever said that to you, go work with somebody else. I watch certain people that call themselves tastemakers, and that's what they say. Relationships will get you places money. Personally, I'm in the corporate world. We don't really have relationships. We have we're dealing with money. We're dealing with numbers every day. Fuck relationships. I tell my employees, I tell my people that work for me and my independent contractors what they need to do. Most of them don't like me. But guess what? I'm paying them. They respect the money and they love the money, so they're gonna I had a hit on that, and TCAP answered the question right. Money, money by most of the people that most of these artists, DJs, podcasters take pictures with people they don't number one, they don't really know. Number two, they really don't like. They're doing it for clicks and likes and shit. So money always gonna get you farther. If you don't got no money, you better go get some money.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:29

Yeah, look, find some, man. Yo, so T Cap, man.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:33

So let everybody know besides music, what you got going on?

SPEAKER_01 1:14:36

Oh man, okay, yeah. Hey, right now, I'm following your footsteps again. I got my my store, my shop. It's called Salah Houdin's. For those who don't know, that was the uh the Turk that stopped the night's Templar, you know, that that part of that history, you know. Uh that was just a name that we kept around because uh part of my family, like my uncle that's in business with me, you know, like he helps run the shop and everything like that. He's Muslim. So, like, you know, we just we just keep things like that and like try to keep a little bit of culture in there for people.
