Transcript

00:00:00.000 50 Cent has been working on this documentary for almost two years.
00:00:05.740 The footage he has is insane.
00:00:08.700 The people he got speaking about Diddy is ridiculous.
00:00:12.260 And on top of that, the only place he agrees to do the interview, Rob, if you can show this,
00:00:17.720 he goes and interviews with ABC, and there's an Instagram post he put up, Rob.
00:00:23.280 I don't know if you have that or not.
00:00:24.280 If you go on his Instagram account, he goes and does the interview about Diddy's documentary
00:00:28.580 on ABC, and they say the reason why he did it on ABC, it's that one right there, Rob,
00:00:34.320 the one you had it on, is because ABC News Station is one of only few stations
00:00:40.340 they're allowed to watch in prison.
00:00:45.100 With that smile.
00:00:46.620 So he wants Diddy to know the world is watching you and what you did.
00:00:50.340 So in a documentary, there's a couple things I'll share with you guys
00:00:54.540 on what I took away from it.
00:00:55.440 But, Rob, maybe share the clip on how he got access to some of the footage
00:00:59.760 of the documentary.
00:01:01.020 Is this the one, Rob?
00:01:01.820 Yep.
00:01:02.180 Go for it.
00:01:03.020 How did you get that footage of Diddy?
00:01:05.960 I figured most journalists would not disclose their sources.
00:01:10.420 Does he know y'all have this in the doc?
00:01:13.720 I would doubt he knows.
00:01:15.300 So when this airs, that'll be the first time that his legal team, Diddy, that everybody
00:01:22.460 knows that this footage is now seeing the light of day?
00:01:26.860 Perhaps.
00:01:27.760 Combs' team firing back in a statement to NBC News saying the Netflix so-called documentary
00:01:32.920 is a shameful hit piece and that they relied on stolen footage that was never authorized
00:01:37.520 for release.
00:01:38.280 His team sending a cease and desist to Netflix.
00:01:40.900 So that doesn't mean it's not true.
00:01:43.400 Of course.
00:01:43.960 But they relied on stolen footage, okay, is what they relied on.
00:01:48.480 And then they ask about the history of 50 and him, issue that they've had.
00:01:53.340 What's the one you just pulled up, Rob?
00:01:54.700 This is where they talk about the feud.
00:01:56.580 And then I also have 50 Cent talking about Diddy's reaction to the documentary.
00:02:00.400 Yeah, that's so funny.
00:02:01.420 That is so funny.
00:02:02.180 But watch this one here.
00:02:02.980 Go ahead, Rob.
00:02:03.700 How do you respond to people who say that, that it's more about the disdain that you
00:02:07.760 have for Sean Combs than it is for giving the victims a platform?
00:02:12.220 What they consider a pre-existing beef, right, for 20 years, right, is me being uncomfortable
00:02:17.320 with him suggesting that he takes me shopping or I looked at it like he was, like, it was
00:02:24.940 like a tester.
00:02:26.520 Like, maybe you'll come play with me type of thing, right?
00:02:29.920 And it's not personal.
00:02:32.080 I think it's important to also let people know that the show is not completely the perspectives
00:02:39.280 of people that did not like Sean.
00:02:40.940 We weren't trying to just get the highlights, the salacious details, you know, that the real
00:02:45.060 goal was to storytell.
00:02:46.700 And if you, not everyone needed to have an allegation to be a part of this project.
00:02:52.440 Yeah, I mean, so that's that part, right?
00:02:54.520 The fact that he, the feud with the two of them, hey, let me take you shopping.
00:02:58.200 Like, you say that to a girl in 50s, like, what are you talking about?
00:03:00.560 And take me shopping.
00:03:01.660 Now, do you have a flip of mine?
00:03:02.540 You want to take me shopping?
00:03:03.960 And then last but not least, Rob, the other clip you have of 50 is talking about how he
00:03:08.620 thinks 50, that he's going to like this documentary.
00:03:11.340 Go ahead, Rob.
00:03:12.540 If Sean Combs watches this, what do you think he's going to feel?
00:03:16.360 Like, wow, this is amazing.
00:03:18.260 I think he's going to say this is the best documentary I've seen in a long time.
00:03:20.840 You can't even hold it.
00:03:21.620 Because you'll see people saying that.
00:03:23.500 I mean, he may feel a different way about pieces and bits of it, but he knows the truth.
00:03:28.000 I think he'll see the truth in it.
00:03:30.160 Okay.
00:03:30.620 Have you seen it?
00:03:31.400 I saw the first 10 minutes and I'm like, first of all, I swear to you, I had no idea it was
00:03:35.960 50s because the footage is very personal in the beginning where he's talking to his lawyer
00:03:40.280 in a hotel room live.
00:03:43.080 The person's recording it.
00:03:44.140 And then across from him in that, in the building, there's cops looking at the hotel room
00:03:48.120 because I guess there was a warrant.
00:03:50.260 Yeah, this is basically like that scene.
00:03:52.840 But let me ask you a question, Pat.
00:03:54.280 I don't want you to have to give it away for people that haven't seen it.
00:03:56.840 What was one of the things that stuck out to you where you were like, oh, my God.
00:04:00.340 Well, I mean, listen, I'm going to say what I took away.
00:04:02.440 You can go do whatever you want to do.
00:04:03.960 And you still want to watch it.
00:04:06.220 So, Rob, can you pull up the characters that were in it?
00:04:08.620 One of the guys was a guy that owned 25% of Bad Boy.
00:04:13.380 Okay.
00:04:14.080 He owned 25% of Bad Boy.
00:04:15.420 When he started Bad Boy, it was between two guys, okay?
00:04:19.940 I think the guy's name is Kirk Burroughs, if I'm not mistaken.
00:04:22.940 Can you type in Kirk Burroughs to see the face?
00:04:24.940 Glasses and the dreads?
00:04:25.880 Let me see if this is the one.
00:04:27.140 Kirk Burroughs.
00:04:28.320 Yeah.
00:04:28.680 Can you go to images to see if that's him, Kirk Burroughs?
00:04:32.520 Okay, so that's him.
00:04:33.360 He owned 25% of Bad Boy.
00:04:35.720 When they started Bad Boy, he puts 25 under his name, 75 under his mother's name.
00:04:42.100 Diddy does.
00:04:43.200 So, 75% of the company is under his mother's name.
00:04:45.780 25% is under his name.
00:04:47.340 One day, he comes up to him, fully ready to take this guy out, says, you have to sign
00:04:52.000 off the 25% to me.
00:04:53.480 He says, I'm not going to do it.
00:04:54.320 He says, you have to do it.
00:04:55.360 He forces him to sign up and gives away the 25% over to Diddy.
00:05:01.240 Okay?
00:05:01.720 Gives away the 25% to Diddy.
00:05:03.420 That's his.
00:05:04.120 Threatening his life?
00:05:04.860 He threatens his life, allegedly, to give up the 25%, which he ends up giving up to Diddy.
00:05:09.820 And he says, I'm going to give it back to you.
00:05:10.980 He never gives it back to him.
00:05:12.840 And then later on, when he takes him to court to say, this is my 25%, the court says, no,
00:05:17.800 you have mental issues.
00:05:18.660 You're having challenges here.
00:05:19.900 This is out of control.
00:05:20.960 Boom.
00:05:21.260 Diddy ends up keeping the 25%.
00:05:22.520 Nothing ever happens.
00:05:23.600 He never gets the 25% back.
00:05:25.300 This is the guy that was doing all the deals.
00:05:26.920 Okay?
00:05:27.080 But as you go through the story with him and the stories of the girls and what happened
00:05:33.920 and how he became super famous was that basketball game in New York that he set up that nine people
00:05:40.120 died and he had to go in front of TV and explain the fact that I was trying to put together
00:05:45.300 the greatest basketball game ever.
00:05:47.220 It's called the City College Stampede.
00:05:49.360 Nine kids died.
00:05:51.060 Have you heard about this story?
00:05:52.960 You've never heard about this story?
00:05:54.240 Rob, can you just go online and type in this?
00:05:56.600 This is how Diddy became famous.
00:05:58.140 What year was this?
00:05:58.820 This is Diddy's 19 years old.
00:06:01.060 If you just type in the City College, yeah, this is 34 years ago, guys.
00:06:06.180 Wow.
00:06:06.620 Exactly 34 years ago.
00:06:08.140 Go to a clip of it, Rob, if you can.
00:06:10.040 Just to show, go to the cover of that page.
00:06:12.340 Go to the cover of that.
00:06:13.060 Look at that.
00:06:13.520 Oh, my God.
00:06:14.560 Eight crushed to death and ends up becoming nine, by the way.
00:06:18.240 Yeah, true story.
00:06:19.340 But if you go and see if you can find a video, Rob, of what it looked like, if you type in
00:06:24.740 video, so everybody's coming to this game, you know, all the major NBA, you know, all
00:06:31.980 the major rappers, everybody's, oh, my God, it's going to be great.
00:06:34.700 It's going to be this.
00:06:35.220 It's going to be that.
00:06:36.080 And in that image right there, go to that image right there with Diddy.
00:06:38.860 No, the middle one.
00:06:40.320 That's him doing the press conference.
00:06:42.220 He does the press conference on that day at 19-ish years old.
00:06:47.460 Boom.
00:06:47.760 He becomes famous.
00:06:48.660 Wow.
00:06:48.980 And he creates that rumor reputation of he can put the biggest parties in the world
00:06:54.840 and people show up, the biggest promoter.
00:06:57.200 So that became a way where his image got bigger and bigger and bigger with this.
00:07:03.220 And then when you continue, there's a part with what he didn't like is that Tupac and
00:07:08.940 Biggie started getting very close because Tupac would allow Biggie to open for him.
00:07:13.360 So you guys have to realize, I had Greg Kading on the show 10 years ago.
00:07:16.680 Greg Kading is the guy that was the lead investigator of Tupac.
00:07:20.140 He was in the documentary as well.
00:07:22.000 He was investigating what happened to, yeah, he was investigating what happened to, and Rob,
00:07:26.520 if you can pull up the podcast with he and I and the way I did it on the board and I put
00:07:30.620 all the suspects of who it could have been.
00:07:33.000 And then he gets to recording and shows with Keefe D.
00:07:37.420 Keefe D is the guy that was the boss who Diddy allegedly offered a million dollars.
00:07:44.280 They said it'll take a million dollars to take both of them out.
00:07:47.820 And he's saying the recording.
00:07:49.200 He's saying it to the feds.
00:07:51.660 So right here, if you zoom in on this list, Rob, can you zoom in on the list?
00:07:56.280 Okay.
00:07:57.200 So if you zoom in, you see the bottom three names?
00:08:00.380 You see the bottom three names right there?
00:08:02.300 On the right?
00:08:02.740 By his right hand.
00:08:04.560 Tupac?
00:08:04.980 Right there.
00:08:05.660 That's Keefe D is right in the middle.
00:08:07.360 Okay.
00:08:07.580 The one to the left is the guy that stole one of the death row records chains.
00:08:14.120 Zoom in a little bit.
00:08:15.080 Zoom in a little bit.
00:08:15.660 You can't do it?
00:08:16.260 I can't.
00:08:16.520 It's all good.
00:08:16.900 No worries.
00:08:17.740 So the guy in the middle is the guy that's having a conversation who says,
00:08:21.500 yeah, he offered us a million bucks to take him out.
00:08:24.640 Keefe D.
00:08:25.900 And so they try to get the money.
00:08:29.800 They're not able to kill both, because he wanted them to kill both Shook and Puck.
00:08:37.600 In the car?
00:08:38.180 They only kill Puck.
00:08:40.180 Puck.
00:08:41.080 And they don't kill Shook.
00:08:42.840 So allegedly, they got paid $500,000.
00:08:46.200 The $500,000 was paid to the guy on the right, all the way to the right.
00:08:50.600 You see the guy on the right?
00:08:51.600 Corey Edwards.
00:08:52.160 He's the one allegedly that got the $500,000, and that money never went to Keefe D.
00:08:58.460 or anybody else.
00:08:59.160 The guy on the left is the one that stole the chain, which was a death row records chain.
00:09:05.880 That's a way of saying, I got your rapper's chain, because if you were one of the guys,
00:09:10.000 death row.
00:09:10.460 So long story short, this whole thing is in recording that he said this.
00:09:15.340 So what does Diddy do?
00:09:16.360 Rob, can you pull up this song?
00:09:17.740 It's a song called Black Rob, featuring Mark Curry and Mario winnings.
00:09:27.380 If you can just type in lyrics, okay?
00:09:30.520 So he gets a million dollars.
00:09:33.720 Can you go to the lyrics?
00:09:35.360 And Diddy's in the lyrics.
00:09:36.860 When he gets started, go a little bit lower.
00:09:39.200 Boom.
00:09:40.560 Boom.
00:09:40.840 Boom.
00:09:41.120 Boom.
00:09:42.280 You see it in this game?
00:09:44.140 Can you type in the word in there, Rob?
00:09:46.780 Nice Guy.
00:09:48.740 Type Control-F Nice Guy.
00:09:49.860 Okay, right there.
00:09:50.380 Look it.
00:09:50.940 It's 1999.
00:09:52.740 No more Mr. Nice Guy.
00:09:54.440 Been nice too long.
00:09:56.180 I'm just going to start making y'all disappear.
00:10:00.000 Man.
00:10:00.540 First, I'm going to take your records off the radio.
00:10:03.900 Then I'm going to erase your social security number.
00:10:07.420 You know, take your birth certificate out, flies.
00:10:09.820 I'm going to do your whole effing family.
00:10:12.200 Ain't nothing but mercy.
00:10:13.300 And then, by the way, in the lyrics, he says, I'll drop a million dollars on your head to
00:10:18.820 erase you.
00:10:19.660 Can you type in, I'll drop a million.
00:10:21.700 Just put Control-F.
00:10:23.760 Just go to Google and type this out.
00:10:26.580 I'll drop a million dollars on your head.
00:10:29.380 I'll drop a million dollars on your head and just put Diddy next to it.
00:10:34.560 Right there.
00:10:35.360 See, it says Blackrop.
00:10:36.240 What song came up?
00:10:39.900 I'll drop a million dollars on your head.
00:10:42.780 Erase you and your whole family, Biatch.
00:10:45.660 Wow.
00:10:46.640 He's saying it in the song on what he did to get rid of Tupac.
00:10:50.360 What an idiot.
00:10:51.640 He's saying this.
00:10:52.500 Like, that is the level of criminality to say, I'm going to get away with it.
00:10:57.260 Right?
00:10:57.880 One day, I'm at an NBA game.
00:10:59.020 This was two years ago.
00:11:00.100 Right before he got arrested.
00:11:01.560 I had done, like, three videos on Diddy.
00:11:04.040 He's at a game with one of his girls.
00:11:06.240 He sees me.
00:11:06.900 I see him.
00:11:07.840 Listen, if there's a guy in the hip-hop world, I cannot stand is this guy.
00:11:12.880 I'm looking at him.
00:11:13.480 He's looking at me.
00:11:15.020 And then we're locked in.
00:11:16.240 Vinny, when I tell you we're locked in eye-to-eye, two minutes.
00:11:20.460 And you're not breaking.
00:11:21.740 Neither one of us are breaking.
00:11:23.520 Okay?
00:11:23.960 He's across the...
00:11:24.680 Look, you don't understand.
00:11:25.860 To me, Tupac was a...
00:11:27.320 As a young kid coming up, he played a very big role as a...
00:11:31.160 He's in your painting.
00:11:31.820 Yeah, he's...
00:11:32.760 Of the most influential people in your life.
00:11:33.880 Yes, to me, that guy was a...
00:11:34.940 So, to me, you took this guy out.
00:11:37.260 I investigate a lot of people based on the reports and things that we talk to a lot of different people.
00:11:44.440 It always comes back to Diddy.
00:11:46.580 And the more and more you put the stuff together.
00:11:48.540 There's another story about what happened with Biggie.
00:11:50.060 So, same partner.
00:11:50.840 That guy that's a 25% owner.
00:11:52.840 So, they say, okay, let's go to L.A.
00:11:55.360 And let's do this tour in L.A.
00:11:57.740 Biggie's like...
00:11:58.380 There's videos of Biggie saying, man, I feel like something's about to happen.
00:12:01.120 I feel like someone's going to take me out.
00:12:02.700 He's supposed to go to L.A.
00:12:04.100 And then right after L.A., he's supposed to go to U.K. for a tour.
00:12:08.800 He's already got flight and everything booked.
00:12:11.340 Diddy calls...
00:12:13.020 What's the guy's name?
00:12:14.660 Edwards on the right.
00:12:15.900 Aldo on the right.
00:12:16.600 Corey Edwards.
00:12:17.400 Corey Edwards.
00:12:17.920 He calls him and he says, cancel his flight.
00:12:21.820 So, what do you mean cancel his flight?
00:12:23.220 Cancel his flight.
00:12:24.560 I'm not canceling his flight.
00:12:25.780 He's going to New York.
00:12:27.840 He's going to U.K.
00:12:29.180 Cancel his flight.
00:12:31.200 So, they cancel his flight.
00:12:33.840 Biggie stays.
00:12:35.200 And then he gets killed.
00:12:36.960 And the rest is history.
00:12:38.000 Jeez.
00:12:38.900 And by the way, he uses that to come out and create that song.
00:12:43.580 Every breath I...
00:12:45.220 And Sting performs it.
00:12:47.300 Of course.
00:12:47.520 And he dances.
00:12:48.400 Of course.
00:12:49.180 Celebrating the death.
00:12:50.240 And he's praying to Biggie.
00:12:51.700 And he puts the Biggie's funeral together.
00:12:53.840 And guess who pays for the funeral?
00:12:55.280 He uses all the money from Biggie to pay for Biggie's funeral.
00:12:58.560 Jeez.
00:12:59.000 This guy's the biggest dirtbag out there in this space.
00:13:04.740 Biggest dirtbag.
00:13:05.740 And I'm so glad that...
00:13:07.120 What's his name?
00:13:08.180 Did this?
00:13:08.780 50 Cent did this?
00:13:10.080 And by the way, if you're thinking that he's going to take shots at Bieber and J-Lo and
00:13:14.560 any of that, or Leonardo, nothing like that happens in this documentary.
00:13:18.960 It's not that documentary.
00:13:19.960 I think those guys were probably protected to not show what the Bieber thing is and what
00:13:24.000 the other stuff is.
00:13:24.820 But you really learn about...
00:13:27.820 You really learn about this guy's character and the ties with the mom and who the mom
00:13:31.480 was and beating him up and the dad being a former mobster.
00:13:33.880 And they used to say that dad was a former FBI informant working with Frank Lucas.
00:13:38.060 You know Frank Lucas from American Gangster?
00:13:40.280 Apparently, Diddy's dad has ties to Frank Lucas.
00:13:42.660 If you type in Diddy's dad, Frank Lucas, zoom in a little bit, Rob.
00:13:48.020 It was an associate right there.
00:13:52.880 Diddy's father, Melvin Earl Combs.
00:13:55.780 Melvin was an associate of drug lord Frank Lucas.
00:13:59.540 You know who Frank Lucas is?
00:14:00.460 $275 million.
00:14:01.640 He was going doing heroin and flying everything back and forth in Vietnam.
00:14:05.060 But allegedly, Diddy's dad was an FBI informant, is who he was.
00:14:09.860 Allegedly, Diddy's dad was an FBI informant.
00:14:11.800 Some people are saying maybe Diddy was protected all this time because maybe he was also an FBI
00:14:15.440 informant.
00:14:16.220 The guy said, he said, every room you went into, he recorded everything.
00:14:20.680 Every room you went into, he recorded everything.
00:14:22.700 So listen, all in all, it's a great documentary to watch.
00:14:26.960 If you're following...
00:14:27.720 The only reason I follow the story is because I...
00:14:30.060 Only one guy.
00:14:31.500 Only one reason I watch the documentary is because I want to see what the ties were between
00:14:35.040 with Tupac, and there's a whole section that has to do with Tupac.
00:14:40.140 A whole section tied to Tupac.
00:14:42.240 Anyways, you were in Miami.
00:14:43.300 Where does this go from here?
00:14:44.020 Because 50 had this footage, somehow he got this footage?
00:14:48.520 Yeah.
00:14:50.080 What was Diddy charged with?
00:14:52.160 Meaning, what was he found guilty of?
00:14:53.240 He's going to do four years, and he's going to be free, which is...
00:14:55.740 So by the time there's another election, Diddy's going to be free?
00:14:57.980 And by the way, there's a whole section where they interviewed a juror.
00:15:03.000 The jurors sided with Diddy.
00:15:05.040 What do you mean?
00:15:05.920 You have to see what they're saying in the documentary.
00:15:08.900 They sided with Diddy?
00:15:09.800 They sided with Diddy.
00:15:11.880 In what capacity?
00:15:12.900 Because they felt bad for him.
00:15:14.540 They're like, they're just trying to take advantage of him.
00:15:16.600 They're trying to take money from a rich guy, and that's all this is.
00:15:19.420 It is a conspiracy.
00:15:20.720 He wouldn't do such a thing.
00:15:22.080 The jurors were siding with Diddy, which...
00:15:25.360 It's a spectacle.
00:15:27.300 By the way, the guy's going to get out, and he's going to put a big party together,
00:15:30.340 and people are going to go to the party.
00:15:32.500 A lot of baby oil.
00:15:33.200 A lot of baby oil.
00:15:34.180 By the way, there's a whole story with the baby oil.
00:15:36.120 What's the story with the baby oil?
00:15:37.540 Oh, Vinny.
00:15:38.200 I have to watch the whole thing tonight.
00:15:39.340 The guy who was the one that was hooking up with Cassie while he was watching,
00:15:43.760 and they're going at it.
00:15:45.220 I remember that guy.
00:15:46.240 He talks about the whole thing.
00:15:47.500 And one time when Diddy was about to go to kill him, killed Kid Cudi because Cassie ran away
00:15:52.980 to go hook up with Kid Cudi.
00:15:55.760 Cassie calls Diddy's assistant, whose mother used to be a cocaine addict, who died at a young
00:16:01.120 age, and she had to take care of her.
00:16:02.680 So she's like, I'm used to personalities like this.
00:16:04.920 This is Diddy's assistant.
00:16:06.740 She calls the assistant to say, I'm with Kid Cudi.
00:16:11.340 He's like, listen, Diddy can cheat on you.
00:16:13.760 You can't cheat on Diddy.
00:16:15.440 And he says, if he finds out, he's going to kill you.
00:16:17.280 Well, guess who finds out?
00:16:18.520 Diddy finds out.
00:16:19.140 Diddy grabs a gun, says, we're going together, tells the girl, takes her to go to find Cassie
00:16:24.800 because they're going to kill Cassie.
00:16:26.320 I mean, listen, Kid Cudi and Cassie was this 19-year-old coming up, attractive, dropped
00:16:32.060 it, gorgeous.
00:16:32.840 And he was all what, like, there's a whole part about Diddy where he wanted to hook up with
00:16:37.260 his friend's girls.
00:16:39.080 Whoever his friend's girls were with, he wanted to hook up with them.
00:16:41.660 What about his friend's boyfriends?
00:16:43.660 He did a lot of gay stuff, too, no?
00:16:45.420 But you know what he does?
00:16:46.040 He finds out who Suge Knight's side chick was in Atlanta.
00:16:50.020 He gives her a $50,000 diamond ring to hook up with Suge Knight because Suge was a boss
00:16:54.700 of Death Row Records.
00:16:57.440 And it's his way of saying, I have to get even with Suge.
00:17:01.440 So he buys a $50,000 diamond ring or diamond necklace for this girl, whatever, to, there's
00:17:08.220 a lot to it.
00:17:08.700 And that beat, you know that beat, because he went, remember, it was a Hip-Hop Source
00:17:11.780 Awards where Suge went on stage and was like, hey, man, if y'all, you know, your producers
00:17:16.960 dancing all up in the videos, come to Death Row.
00:17:19.740 Oh, they hate, yeah, they hated each other.
00:17:21.200 And then Diddy gets up on stage and he says, listen, I heard somebody says that if you don't
00:17:25.320 want your, you know, this to get in the videos, here's what I'm all about.
00:17:29.060 I'm about all of us celebrating each other's successes.
00:17:31.620 And I just want to give a shout out to all the winners tonight.
00:17:33.820 And then behind Closer, he says, I've got to take this guy out.
00:17:36.020 Taking him out, wow.
00:17:37.040 What do you think was, I want to bring up some lyrics, what do you think was Diddy's
00:17:40.680 motivation?
00:17:41.320 Is it money?
00:17:42.180 Is it power?
00:17:43.020 Evil.
00:17:43.400 Is it psychopathy?
00:17:44.720 Is it Machiavellianism?
00:17:45.900 And envy, control, envy, control, limelight.
00:17:50.100 He has to be the face and nobody can have it.
00:17:52.620 Rob Gauley, the bottom of the song?
00:17:54.380 Envy, envy, he has to be the face.
00:17:56.160 He has to be the limelight.
00:17:57.640 Nobody can have it more than him.
00:17:58.820 And obviously he's, the reason that he became super, super, super famous, he was the producer
00:18:04.680 for Biggie.
00:18:06.420 And Biggie was numero uno.
00:18:07.740 Yep.
00:18:08.100 One and two, Tupac and Biggie.
00:18:09.120 And the guy who was partners with, the guy that brought him up, type in Diddy's first
00:18:13.900 mentor.
00:18:15.060 This is the guy that Diddy went and worked as his assistant at a young age that took him
00:18:19.100 in.
00:18:19.780 Andre Harrell.
00:18:20.620 Who?
00:18:21.200 Andre Harrell takes him from the founder of Uptown Records.
00:18:23.760 And you know what Andre Harrell does?
00:18:25.420 What does he do?
00:18:25.820 He fires him because he says, Diddy's getting out of control, disrespecting me.
00:18:30.300 He fires Diddy and tells Diddy, you can leave and you can take only one client.
00:18:35.260 And guess who he takes?
00:18:36.140 The only client he takes is, he says, you can take Biggie.
00:18:38.560 Nobody else is coming with you.
00:18:39.800 He allowed Diddy to leave with only Biggie and that's when he starts Bad Boy and he gives
00:18:44.460 25% to that guy and 75% to his mom.
00:18:47.180 Interesting.
00:18:47.620 This is the guy that mentored him.
00:18:49.240 That's the guy everybody wanted to work for.
00:18:51.060 That's the 25% guy?
00:18:52.080 No, Andre Harrell is the founder of Uptown Records, which everybody was under.
00:18:56.460 He mentored Diddy.
00:18:57.820 And he's a legend in the game.
00:18:58.920 And Diddy became bigger than him.
00:18:59.880 If you know Andre Harrell, he's like a legit G in this game.
00:19:04.620 Well, back to the cast, if you want to explore lyrics and be like, well, how literal are we
00:19:09.300 going to take this?
00:19:10.560 So you know the song that goes, last night, couldn't even get an answer, tried to call.
00:19:15.620 Of course, one of my favorite beats.
00:19:16.800 So great song, Keisha Cole.
00:19:18.440 At the end of the song, he's calling her through the whole video.
00:19:23.460 I couldn't get an answer.
00:19:25.360 He leaves her a voicemail.
00:19:27.340 Do you know what he says on the voicemail?
00:19:28.780 Here it is right here.
00:19:30.060 He goes, hey, what's up?
00:19:31.320 I've been trying to reach you all night.
00:19:34.300 This stuff ain't funny not picking up my mother effing calls.
00:19:36.680 You better stop playing with these feelings.
00:19:39.740 You know how much I love you, right?
00:19:42.560 And they're going to get a completed second zone for a couple of seconds.
00:19:45.080 Then I couldn't get in touch with you.
00:19:46.220 And I'm ready to move on and I'm going to shoot the mother effing up, you M-R-F-ing dumb
00:19:50.600 B.
00:19:51.400 So this is a, he's basically saying to his girl, yo, you don't pick up my call?
00:19:54.820 I'm going to come shoot up your house.
00:19:56.480 It's almost as if he told everybody.
00:19:57.720 I don't know how much literal we can take these words, but certainly when there's smoke, there's
00:20:02.320 fire, didn't he?
00:20:02.920 You know what it is?
00:20:03.500 You know how comedians, sometimes when they get caught, when they try to get extremely
00:20:07.580 analytical with database and then somebody catches them, somebody's super brilliant, and
00:20:11.740 then they're like, I'm just a comedian.
00:20:13.180 Like Dave Smith, in here, what rappers can get away with is what?
00:20:17.900 This is entertainment.
00:20:18.800 It's just a song.
00:20:20.000 This is not real.
00:20:20.720 I'm not, I don't mean this.
00:20:21.820 It's entertainment.
00:20:22.660 It's just rap.
00:20:23.480 Tom, you look like you want to say something.
00:20:25.140 No, this genre of music is not my lane.
00:20:29.960 No, no, no.
00:20:30.460 This genre is not my lane, but it's really sad because you see it.
00:20:34.780 You see it, the psychology of crime, you see it in so many other areas, the denial, the
00:20:41.600 narcissism and stuff like that.
00:20:43.620 You know, Elizabeth Holmes had it and defrauded $100 million from investors, ended up in prison
00:20:50.300 without like the violence and the foreshadowing and the tipping off through the lyrics.
00:20:55.780 You see the psychology of people who, you know, they get on that rail and they're going to,
00:21:01.000 and they're just, that train, they're the head of the train and they're going here.
00:21:05.300 Nothing can get in front of it.
00:21:06.600 Nothing can distract it.
00:21:08.120 People are tossed off that don't support it.
00:21:12.620 And it's just, it's a psychology of crime.
00:21:14.680 You know who I want to hear from?
00:21:16.940 Ray Dalio.
00:21:17.840 You know that they have a relationship, Ray Dalio and Diddy.
00:21:22.440 Ray Dalio was kind of a mentor to Diddy.
00:21:25.400 I'm not saying anything illegal, 0%.
00:21:27.500 I don't know anything about that.
00:21:29.120 He was a mentor of his because Combs and Dalio, they were at some of the ward.
00:21:34.140 It was alphabetical.
00:21:35.240 Here they go right here.
00:21:36.380 Founder of Bridgewater Associates, one of the richest men in the world, hedge fund guy.
00:21:39.760 Help him to advance his success to the next level.
00:21:42.700 Would love to hear what Ray Dalio has to say on Diddy.
00:21:45.660 Would love to hear it.
00:21:46.380 If you love Christmas as much as we do, okay, we got three Christmas trees in the house.
00:21:51.400 It's a spectacle.
00:21:52.400 Every Christmas when, you know, Thanksgiving ends, that following Friday, I have to carry this 10-foot tree that weighs 600 pounds.
00:22:00.440 And the family waits for me to come through and we get this big tree.
00:22:03.380 We put it in there and I go up the ladder.
00:22:05.640 And I'm telling you right now, every year I'm getting closer to falling.
00:22:09.180 Okay?
00:22:09.500 I had it under control at 43, 44.
00:22:11.880 I saw the ladder.
00:22:12.340 At 47, Vinny, I am so high.
00:22:14.820 I'm so high that if a little bit slips, I'm falling on my back.
00:22:20.660 We're doing podcasts out of a wheelchair.
00:22:22.320 Nobody's helping you?
00:22:23.900 And it's always like, can you put the star all the way up top?
00:22:27.000 I'm like all the way trying to put this thing up.
00:22:29.440 I think there's something going on.
00:22:30.780 It's like an inside job.
00:22:32.020 There's a story right there.
00:22:33.220 You have to do it yourself?
00:22:34.300 No, no, no.
00:22:34.780 It's a blast.
00:22:35.640 Obviously, everybody loves it and Dylan loves decorating the tree.
00:22:39.160 I hope for those of you guys that do as well, we love Christmas and our Christmas merch is officially out.
00:22:46.400 And the hat that we couldn't keep, a single one of these, guys were ordering 50 of these at a time.
00:22:53.680 Rob, can you zoom in on that hat?
00:22:55.420 This hat was such a massive hit last year.
00:22:59.020 We saw 3,000 of them like this.
00:23:01.440 They were gone.
00:23:02.120 I love that hat.
00:23:02.780 And people were buying it as Christmas gifts for others.
00:23:05.560 And then they were sending it to their clients, their friends.
00:23:08.480 It says, Merry Christmas.
00:23:10.120 Future looks bright on the bottom and on the side with the VT logo.
00:23:14.100 It's just a sick hat.
00:23:15.300 We got a few hats.
00:23:16.300 One of the hats sold out.
00:23:17.860 This one that says, Merry Christ Christmas.
00:23:20.480 Nice.
00:23:20.940 This one sold out.
00:23:21.620 This one's gone.
00:23:22.240 But you have the red one.
00:23:23.040 You have the green one to choose from.
00:23:24.540 And then that one as well, Rob.
00:23:25.940 You have this one.
00:23:27.720 This other one we have as well.
00:23:29.020 If you want to go to this one, Rob, this Christmas on the bottom right.
00:23:32.220 Yeah.
00:23:32.760 Right there.
00:23:33.240 And then we have the Christmas.
00:23:34.320 If you want to go and show Vinny our model.
00:23:37.000 Folks, look at our models wearing their, and these come with a nice, look at this.
00:23:44.220 Look at this.
00:23:44.960 This is the, that's the pajamas, right?
00:23:48.080 The Merry Christmas pajamas.
00:23:49.580 The ugly sweater.
00:23:50.160 Future looks bright.
00:23:51.020 They're so comfortable.
00:23:51.740 Super, super comfortable.
00:23:53.620 Forget about the socks Vinny's wearing that made it in there.
00:23:55.960 Those socks don't come with it.
00:23:57.620 No.
00:23:57.820 But they're modeling.
00:23:58.760 They look like a beautiful family.
00:24:00.480 So if you want your whole family to be wearing the pajamas, the Merry Christmas.
00:24:05.800 We also got these sweaters here as well.
00:24:07.140 Max's truck is in there.
