00:00Olympics help in my eyes
00:13Can I get a yeah
00:18Well before we start I just want to say
00:21Thank you as someone that grew up on your music for representing Latinos and hip-hop from day one. Okay. Thank you so much
00:27Both of y'all. Yeah, real. Yes. Yeah, please cap it up
00:30Come on. Yo, this is legends right here
00:32icons
00:33worldwide
00:37All right, so we get we're here to talk about the intersection of Latin and hip-hop
00:41Basic question. What was the first time y'all heard reggaeton?
00:45When you became aware of it me first time I heard reggaeton. I was in
00:51Puerto Rico I
00:52Had a party that I thought I sold out
00:55But come to find out it was Stegos show and he didn't show up
01:00So, um, I thought I sold it out, but I did but um when I kept I kept saying yo, what is that?
01:06It kept sounding like boom. Boom. I mean mommy like sound like, you know, I mean like that and I was like
01:13I was like, is that Spanish reggae and
01:16Like everywhere in Puerto Rico where I went they was playing it and then I came home and I remember um
01:22You know asking people at La Mega Sapega, you know, I mean in New York
01:26Like why you're not playing this and you know asking DJ enough and DJ Camilo why you're not playing it. I went to a
01:35Party in legendary club room buys
01:40There you know my room was they tough people over there
01:42No, they know so um and a DJ his name was 52, but he goes by the name of Tess move
01:47He was the only person that I heard playing it and I was like, yo, how do I do this?
01:53And I kept trying to ask people
01:55to do it and then I
01:57Said the best way to like help this movement is to sacrifice myself. So I started to do certain records
02:05Yeah, for sure before we get to that. How about you Joe?
02:07Well, it was like it first started with a vehicle seat. I know he wasn't ready Tom, but he was Latino hip-hop
02:15um
02:17Because he the first person I heard do reggae tone was the brother out of Panama and headed on and
02:24I
02:25Know one time he asked me to do a song with him. I try to charge him and he said he
02:31Fucked my mother this that he
02:34Headed out. It's crazy. Let me tell you something. He cursed me out on the phone
02:38What do you think you is this this that but that was the first time I heard reggae tone and then of course
02:45Puerto Rico the explosion, you know
02:48All the guys who paved the way from like Daddy Yankee don't know ma
02:52They go got their own like he said all all the day was Winston yondel
02:56Oh, I said y'all dells. I ain't in Linux. He be Queen Alexis if he be Queen. Yeah
03:03He be Queen for sure for sure
03:05And Joe you said recently that hip-hop was the blueprint it all starts with that's the foundation, which I agree a million percent
03:12What are the similarities that you see in both genres
03:15That's a lot. But you know hip-hop, you know hip-hop is the birth of everything
03:20So if you want to learn something the night
03:23Here is that hip-hop start everything and you know, I grew up in the Bronx where hip-hop was
03:30Originated so a lot of the things that you see in them reggae tone music and Latin hip-hop
03:36We seen it already so by the time you seen Carol G and I know well, we already seen Meek Mills Nicki Minaj
03:45Jay-z Beyonce we seen all of that, you know from
03:49Fashion to flows to right now is Latin trap
03:53Trap comes from Atlanta from hip-hop from future ti young Jeezy and all those guys
04:00so hip-hop and reggae tone
04:02They side-by-side, you know, hip-hop is definitely the influency
04:07Especially the trap like a boy. You got a young is doing right now is pure like hip-hop like if you take away the language
04:13Yeah, it's like if they rapping in Spanish, but that's hip-hop beats
04:18You know, it's crazy, but it's dope. I'll be you know the similarities
04:25The flashiness
04:26Like everybody wants to be flashy everybody wants to have the nice car
04:30I've ever wanted to have a nice watch everybody and you know what I mean?
04:33Um, that's that's what I see the comparison like, you know
04:36A lot of reggae tone that you know that I that I love is really woman based songs
04:43You know I'm saying so I'm not really into Latin trap like I did I had enough rap in my life
04:49Not to have it in another language
04:52So I stick to
04:54You know my younger days I wanted to hear everything rough and my older days I want to hear everything smooth
05:01I only listen to reggaeton music about women like for no, we're dads now
05:08So take us back to oh for or you can't oh like
05:13How did that come about like by the way anthem, please clap it up for you me can't oh, please
05:18I
05:21Still goes crazy in the club. Well, um, I did a record before that called Toma reggaeton and
05:27it was getting traction, but the record label was like never in a million years where we get behind that and
05:34Then the Puerto Rican Day Parade come and every year, you know, the Puerto Rican Day Parade was very important to me
05:40You know back then when this was cool
05:42My father used to take me on the train and I used to sit on the cooler and I used to sell his beers
05:47Like that, you know, you have parents like that. You don't I mean, so I'm less than sells beer
05:53So I always go to Puerto Rican Day Parade and it's a certain energy in New York City
05:56Like everybody becomes Puerto Rican on a Puerto Rican Day Parade. So that's why I say on a thing
06:01It doesn't matter your race because today you Latino
06:04I was taking that that little sentiment from the Puerto Rican Day Parade and I related it to all Latinos
06:09But it started for just being a record for the Puerto Rican Day Parade and paying homage to the pun
06:15Obviously that hook comes from pun body Guadalajara
06:18but then I wanted to expand and I wanted the Colombians not to feel left out and
06:22Dominicans and you know what I mean and everyone and just say that you know today's
06:26We all Latinos and if you listen to that record whether you black Chinese you become Latino for the three minutes
06:34You know to me
06:36so I wanted to do that and I remember me releasing the record and
06:42It doing 500 spins now record doing 500 spins on its own is not it's not, you know, something that you know dance about
06:50but then the next week it did a thousand spins and then the next week it did
06:542,500 spins and
06:56Then it went from the record label saying I would never back that record to the record label saying come bring me my record
07:03And I was like, all right hit 5,000 spins on the own now. It's your record
07:07You know what I mean, so, uh, they got behind it and a set of movement
07:11Um, no one can never take this away from me. The first reggaeton record on
07:17MTV is mine's the first reggaeton record on BET is mine's the first reggaeton record on
07:24Hot 97 is mine's the first reggaeton on
07:29Performing at the Sorcerer's is mine's so I know Yankee recently did a documentary and and he paid respect to reggaeton
07:36He left out or you be condo. I'm not sure why but you know, we can't erase that history
07:42We can't take away what I did. I sacrificed my own community
07:45It was people who literally stopped talking to me because they hated what I was doing when I was doing reggaeton
07:51But I put it on the forefront. I
07:54Literally almost lost my other career and if you ask me what I do it again in a heart of a dime
08:01Because now look at now now I look like a genius now everyone say hey man, he's before his time
08:11So so you got to understand you got to put it in perspective
08:15Nori was a member of a group called CNN. He was selling million millions of records with straight corner. No, yeah
08:22Sure. Yeah, but is that Neil Levine out there? No way. He got my noodle
08:27Yo, Neil, what's up? We love you, bro
08:30Thank you. That man helped us a lot. Yes, right. He got my noodle now right now
08:36We love you, brother. And so Nori has CNN
08:39He was the underground king and then he wanted to reggaeton
08:43So imagine somebody you considered a purist a hip-hop stepping out to do reggaeton
08:49it was a real big chance he took to do that and
08:53Thank God he went number one and he broke records and he pioneered but you know
08:58That wasn't not too many people do that
09:01For sure. That wasn't one norm and then you did the album
09:04Yeah, like me they used to try to fought they used to try to offer me millions of dollars to do a reggaeton album
09:10But I'm hip-hop. I'm not reggaeton. So it would be like
09:17Vincente wanted Vincente
09:21Fernandez doing some young
09:25Mexicano thing right now, you know I'm saying so with me it was like yo, they know I'm hip-hop
09:30I would be looking like I'm trying to be a wannabe or doing something like that. I couldn't do that
09:35So I was like, yo, I can't take your money. Plus I didn't speak Spanish so good like I speak now
09:40You know back then it would have been horrible. I tried in a couple of songs. Um, like like like he said
09:46I was a part of a legendary group opponent or Jaeger and
09:50When we would do shows people will fight it'll be stab ins and that's how we thought we did a good show
09:56You know what? I mean? Like if no one for it, we would like that sucked
10:00You know what? I mean? Like but um, and then I got tired of that life. So I did that one reggaeton show and
10:07It was they go show but um, nobody fought and you met your wife dancing to record
10:14No, we're gonna tour like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he had a reggaeton dance. Well, that's what you tell me when you drunk
10:21No, Larry. Oh, that was that Larry. Oh, um
10:24so that one party that I was at I had looked and I was just I performed and then I um
10:31Went in the crowd, which I suddenly do you know what I mean?
10:33Like you usually just perform and go home keep it professional
10:36But I sat in the crowd and I just watched everybody and the fit the the faces that these people were making dance into this music
10:43and the
10:46They was having I was like I want that
10:49Like I want that like I wanna I don't want to be a part of you know fights and you know
10:56You know negative thing. I want to dance all night and
11:00drink Heineken's
11:03With my cousin Carlito
11:06And he didn't speak no English at the time so me and he was just hey
11:10Just sign language on the steroids, you know what I mean? So yeah, it was it was to tell you the truth
11:17You know what? I mean? I always embraced being Latino. That was my that was my time
11:21Which by the way, I like I realized you were Latino when it's a loca. That's right. That's
11:27Joy, well my first rhyme ever in
11:311996 or 97
11:33My first rhyme Jose Luis gotcha. You know to me. I wanted people to know that Latin
11:37Influence, you know what I mean? You know, I grew up
11:41My mother listening to Hector Laval and Marvin Gaye, you know, I'm saying then you don't I'm saying Willie Cologne and and and
11:49Lionel Richie, you know I'm saying so it was always in my thing
11:53But uh, yeah, if I like I said, man, it's one of the most wonderful times of my life, you know traveling
11:58You know to all of these different countries, you know what I mean? And I even performed in
12:05Germany
12:07Reggaeton I
12:09Was like what's wrong with y'all? How do y'all like this?
12:13Do do Dolphin, you know to me and all that. So so yeah, um, so it was a great time in my life
12:19And Joe, what was your reaction when he was like doing the reggaeton and he didn't like it you jumped on the album
12:25So I'm gonna do whatever for him, but I definitely told him you bugging out
12:30You know CNN, you know, we have a historical group in hip-hop called run DMC
12:37To me in our era CNN was like the run DMC
12:41So I was like yo, you sure you want to do reggaeton, bro? He was like yo, bro. I'm doing it
12:46I love same thing. He's saying right here. He was I love the way they feel
12:51It makes me feel more of my Latino side. I'm like, yo, but you sure you doing reggaeton?
12:58I'm telling you I never forget me. I'm at a one-on-one meeting. I was like, I brother I'm with you
13:04You know, I did the songs with him jumped in every video dance, you know, but you know
13:08I was worried for him because you know, he he was a legendary, you know, CNN we look like geniuses now, though
13:16We look like geniuses now true true. So going back to you you had the around the same time
13:22You had to lean back mega mega hit then the remix you had the foresight to put they go on it
13:27Like why did you pick they go in the video too?
13:30Well, I always worked with the reggaeton artists people don't know I was behind this
13:37This mixtape called boy Boricua Guerrero where I did a song
13:43So I got all the English-speaking rappers on that joint
13:47Right. So it was like I was bugging out with sometimes I used to hear some
13:52Like reggaeton people say fat Joe didn't embrace reggaeton
13:56I'm like, bro, like I put the guys on the first mixtape of boy Boricua Guerrero and um, I
14:03Did the song with me? He kind of we did all that and then on
14:07We've been embracing reggaeton since day one anybody Latino who's gonna win who's gonna do something positive about music
14:14We're gonna embrace him, you know all the way through so, uh
14:18You know, I've been working with all the reggaeton artists before I put they go on that remix. I
14:24Did his video he had the video he shot in New York
14:27I did that so I always been reaching out, you know to Evie Queen all the reggaeton artists always been showing them love
14:36Like what I put up but also like
14:39Not know the importance of these two on the stage
14:41Like I'm gonna say I'm gonna say this as a kid when I saw a flow Joe when I saw CNN
14:46I saw the beat nuts like that gave me so much pride because I'm in Brooklyn
14:50Ecuadorian grew up with Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. I didn't see us and then I saw you and I saw Cypress Hill
14:56I saw Nori. This shit is big, bro
14:59Please capital clap it up again. You got to clap it up
15:02Clap it up
15:05I'm sorry. The kid came out of me a little bit
15:08You saying the truth if you let me talk about myself up here. I'll be up here to the next
15:13And be like goddamn give some blankets out
15:16Calling real but uh, so back to the album like what took you take us back through the whole the whole experience like making a
15:23full reggaeton album
15:25again, it was um, it was it was it was hard because
15:31Reggaeton artists was like just you know, you know getting that fame in America
15:36So I literally had to like fly to them and if they was in a fly place
15:40I would just fly like if they was in Brazil, I'd be like I'll meet you there
15:44And I'll go get a verse from you know, whoever but uh, you know, it was um, it was
15:52It was a great experience because um, I never did that like I see guru do a jazz album
15:58you know I'm saying and then I see like I
16:00believe R Kelly did a gospel album or something like that or a stepping album and I was like
16:05You know and Beyonce did an album like that. I was just like
16:08Maybe it's my turn. You know what I mean to test my creativity. So, um
16:14You know
16:14I would stay out late nights and you know to me like if I found out Evie Queen
16:18Had a show at the garden. I would just you know pop up and be like, hey
16:23You know my studio is right down the block and she's like, okay and she came
16:27I remember one time she came to the studio and when our floors was so filthy and
16:33She took off her shoes and we were like no
16:37No
16:39Because she's against I don't know if you know that and she went he laid her verse with no shoes on and I was so
16:44Embarrassed because I was like I knew the maid was fired forever
16:48We had no maid
16:51It was terrible, but she did a bird
16:53So, um to answer your question, it was a it was a it was a good experience to do something
16:57That's not what I'm used to like what hip-hop, you know, I mean
17:01Like, you know when I worked with Looney Tunes, I went and I flew to Puerto Rico to their house
17:05You know to me. Um, so like all that all that experience was dope
17:10You know to me and I was controlling my own budget because at the time
17:13Labeled a label Def Jam. They didn't know what a reggaeton budget was
17:17So whatever I say it was it went so I spent it
17:22And I had a joyful time doing it. Yes, I did
17:28That was under the Rock La Familia, right
17:30It was on the Def Jam Rock La Familia just put a logo on there og1 did absolutely nothing
17:35That's my man, but I remember I told you what I was like, yo, I gotta get a flight to see to see Daddy Yankee
17:41He was like you got Jay-z what you need to have Yankee for Noah's Dawn Omar. Excuse me
17:44I was like, yo, what business are we in? We're in the Latin business. You're telling me Jay-z
17:49I'm like, yo, so, um, it was a great experience because um, I think that that was just something that they was experimenting with
17:57Remember they saw sign heck the bombino
17:59They had super success with him. So, um, yeah, and I got to meet him and not now he's a pastor
18:06Yeah, now he's a real father. It's father third father
18:09Yeah
18:09So, um all that experience of working with different artists and working with different producers was amazing bigger to my boy
18:16SBK who made sure he was there and every he's won't produce or me condo
18:21He was there from from from from the beginning. So, uh, yeah, the experience making the album was was absolutely excellent
18:29Now another iconic moment for Joe when he did the chosen few remakes for us, right Latino
18:34I don't get on a chosen few be a word. I begged him boy one to hit me
18:38He's like, please we need bad Joe and I was like, please Joe. I begged him bagged
18:44Number one
18:47Was like damn man the one time I touched it it went number one
18:51No, I'm saying this was a good look for us
18:54What was the impact the lasting impact that you think that that remakes that I just it felt it felt
19:02Epic it felt big. It was like, you know, bye
19:06Bring it on Latino like that, you know, like I said
19:12My Spanish wasn't so good at the time. So I was trying to did I say this, right?
19:17Hey y'all hello this or that, you know, that's why I never really dived into
19:24Reggaeton so much because I didn't really speak Spanish
19:28So well, and so, you know now I could fuck some reggaeton up. I know Spanish
19:34Sorry, boy. Great. Cool. Yeah, cool. I don't put yet. I know what this is
19:39You
19:44Mentioned the DJs before like how important were the DJs in the expansion of
19:48Reggaeton like Camillo enough logo Tony Tocca all those counts. I mean if we think about it
19:56We have a cheat code
19:58Meaning that's all you got to say. It's all you should say. Yeah, man. It's for the Latinos, man
20:05And they should play it like for real the heavy hitters on the I use that cheat code like a mother
20:10I was like, yo, please man. Come on. It's for this is for all Latinos, man, and
20:16It worked
20:17Yeah, so
20:19No, you know you gotta you gotta think about how amazing it is where we have radio stations
20:26We call black radio and 12 noon. They playing reggaeton right on black radio
20:32So that's how or reggaeton or trap
20:35You know, they really playing that shit in the middle of the daytime all over America, you know Latinos is the most
20:44Growing rate in this country and it's been for 20-something years
20:49So, you know, I'm older than well, maybe some of you guys are older than me
20:54But I'm pretty old and uh, and I remember 20 years ago 25
20:58we used to have seminars and it would be three or four Latinos and they'd be like
21:03Yo the numbers say we're gonna be big in
21:052024 the numbers we're gonna be the biggest the Latinos that this and this and now to see it come to fruition is
21:13Is really amazing. But you know, I want y'all to know that
21:17You didn't just get here by mistake like we knew 25 years ago
21:22You would be here and there was people 25 years ago fighting for you guys now
21:2825 years ago talking about your Latinos are coming and we're gonna get respect and we're gonna this
21:36Shout out to all of them cuz we we had we had Latino magazines ahead of time
21:41What was it?
21:43Urban Latino
21:45Magazine we had a lot of mags like we're right. We're covering like the source and vibe
21:48there was so it was all ahead of time and they would be like and they would sell it to people like
21:54Yo, it's gonna be big don't worry the Latinos are coming the Latinos come you're gonna see we're gonna be big one day
22:01so to see the reggaeton genre and
22:05Just like urban Latino in general be big like we anticipated this a long time ago
22:11But it's it's beautiful to see an idea whose time has come
22:15Sure, for sure. Shout out to Carlito Rodriguez. I mean about that. Yeah. Yeah rigs the writer. He revolved a
22:22G's yeah
22:24So at the end of Bohemian Cuban lady that been behind Pharrell forever she was edited she
22:30She was editor-in-chief of vibe
22:32she
22:34She manages Pharrell to this day and and you know, she's she's a legend in the business. Definitely. Definitely
22:41Might as well say shout out to Willie Esco and all those guys do it. Let's do it
22:46I'm telling you Willie Esco had the hottest clothing brand in America and he was a Latino
22:52You know, I remember the ads in the source and we're gonna shout people out might as well
22:58What'd you say?
23:00Somebody else
23:05Alright so oh you mean can't throw at the end of it you say Pana you would have loved this
23:08I'm talking about talking about putting of course
23:10Yeah, like what do you what do you both of y'all think like his involvement would have been in the genre like that's a great
23:14question, um, I'm sure
23:17Obviously, we can't answer this. I'm sure the pun would have jumped off off the river with me
23:22With the movement like in the beginning like I'm sure I can't definitively say say it because obviously he's not here
23:29We can't prove that but me knowing the crazy person that pun is that pun was you know to me?
23:35Um, I think he would have jumped right off the river with me
23:37That's why I thought of him making the record, you know, I mean like obviously that's why the hook is there
23:42You know, I'm paying homage to him, but I'm sure he would have jumped off and I'm sure he would have been there with me
23:49early
23:50Big pun was like super pro Latino
23:53And he almost he he didn't just think he was Puerto Rican. He thought he was everything. He thought he was Mexican
24:00So when we went to Ella, he'd be like, you know, I'm gonna live out here in LA
24:04Yo, the Mexicans think I'm Mexican man. Fuck that. I'm fucking with the Mexicans
24:09I'm the vato loco. So, you know that boy point. What's up, baby? That's one of the pioneers right there
24:17It's like, you know, I can't see I don't know how you can see that good. No, I'm doing good. I'm doing good
24:24Olympics helping my eyes
24:28Um
24:29And so big party. He was really pro Latino, you know, he really loved being Latino
24:35And so I agree. I think he would have been messing with a lot of the reggae tone, too
24:40So today you're still embracing it. You just did a
24:44Paradise song with Anita and Khaled you're interviewing cats like Nicky Jam on drink champs. So
24:49Obviously your two ogs are two cultures. How do you see your place in reggaeton history? And what reggaeton history?
24:57um, I
24:59Think I think I think I said it already first to put it on beat first to put it on MTV
25:05First to bring it to America. Yes first
25:08I could never claim I could never claim anything other than that. You know what I mean?
25:13Um when it came Americanized, you know what I'm saying? When when the white people started to mess with it, you know what I mean?
25:19and
25:20You know, I mean when it yeah, cuz oh for real. No, it's the truth though
25:24You know, you know, you know, it's good. It's gone. Like if you go when you go to a Puerto Rican restaurant
25:29You go to Jamaica restaurant, you know how you know, it was good if the white people are there
25:32You like if the white people come that's how it is
25:34So it's great if they come if they go out of their shells and that's what it is
25:39I could claim that I claim when reggaeton came to America. That was my doing that was you know
25:44I saw a clip the other day
25:46Where the first time they put the reggaetons?
25:50Artists in the MTV Awards and I introduced all of them
25:54We
25:56Yeah, and so they was like you're the English-speaking Latino you're gonna have to tell everybody what this is in America
26:04And they came on and they rocked that shit, you know, it's a party
26:08You know Latinos my mother and my father they throw a party if it rains
26:12You know, we throw a party for anything right? And so
26:16Latinos we know how to party we know how to have a great time
26:19So reggaeton music is always gonna be the life of the party and and the whole vibe
26:26Joe
26:27Noreen mentioned this a little bit, but I mean and Joe actually you mentioned a little bit about
26:31There's this thing about Latinos that were born. We were born and raised here. Sometimes they see us as not Latino enough
26:37We weren't born in our countries. Have you dealt with like you dealt with it?
26:40Have you dealt with it on a personal on a career level?
26:42Yeah
26:43Even like New York Puerto Ricans and you know
26:45I mean and Puerto Rico's from the island is like it is two different things
26:49You know what? I mean? Like I used to be like, why are they separating us?
26:52But then after a while you're like, all right, cool. It is too different because it's not like a New Yorker
26:56I make you any less. It doesn't make you any less. No, it doesn't make you any less. But um, here it goes Latino
27:03connection
27:05But yeah, it's easy to go. I'm a Latino. I'm a war equal in Puerto Rico
27:10It's hard to wave a Puerto Rican flag in the middle of Africa
27:14And that's the shit. We've been doing over here for years waving a flag and representing the Latinos out here
27:21Even when we the minority and people don't really understand that and so I used to be confused
27:27Because one thing I do know is that I'm Puerto Rican and I'm Cuban if you go back into my ancestry
27:33They there right? My cousins are there when Hurricane Maria happened in Puerto Rico
27:38I had two thousand cousins waiting for Primo. Yo, bro, like I went over there
27:44I had redhead cousins black cousins white cousins this I said shit
27:48I met all these guys before but not at one shot
27:52So I'm over there giving money out like coño like this shit is real out here. This shit, right?
27:58So and my brothers are blacker than night
28:01my Cuban brothers are blacker than night Hector and Juan Carlo and
28:06Ludum and
28:08Belinda and so, you know
28:11We represent the Latinos even when it wasn't popular to represent the Latinos
28:18like I never like I get
28:20This man here. I give him so much credit because he came I didn't even believe he was bought equal
28:25He said Jose Luis shots and we grabbed him immediately and said you with us you bought equal
28:31But I never seen this Puerto Rican family. I was in Chicago one day
28:35I had a show he said yo, my brothers is over there to go to the show
28:38I told him the hotel I came downstairs. I said your nori. Where's your brothers? They're not here
28:43He was like they right there. I looked down. They had guayaberas on his shit with DA's. I was like, you know, he's brother
28:50Oh shit. He is more equal
28:53and so, uh
28:55You know, so when I get you know, like I told you I learned Spanish
29:01so I finally did my first like drink champs interview and
29:06In Puerto Rico, which is my loose coat and it was all in Spanish. It was you know, you gotta tolerate it
29:12It ain't perfect
29:13But in that interview, I finally got to really speak to the Puerto Rican people in Spanish
29:18Because before I didn't know how to express myself and all the Latinos and then I broke down to them who I am in the hip
29:25Hop game and what I've done for the culture and so even my loose coat says in the middle of the interview
29:31He says you're you know, I never really looked at you as a real Puerto Rican
29:35But you always repped us and you always was there for us this and this and that and I was like, wow
29:41Somebody actually said it and so that's that's terrible for me that we've been representing
29:49Latinos and Boricuas forever and there is actual people somewhere saying he ain't a real Puerto Rican
29:56He ain't the real deal and I see it even in boxing, you know
30:00You know, we got a young brother named Edgar Balanga who's out there fighting for the bodies
30:08And some bodies don't want to accept these Puerto Rican cuz he's from New York
30:12And this guy is repping the bodies to the fullest out there fighting the biggest and the best and so, you know that that really
30:19bothers me when I see that happen because
30:22So I'm like damn so y'all selective with whose body so Mark Anthony is body. He born in Spanish Harlem
30:29Nicky Jam born in Boston
30:33JLo born in the Bronx. They real selective with who they want to embrace like that and really crazy Boston to and Wells born in
30:39Boston and well boy, you know, I mean, I'm just saying though like, you know, if we all fake bodies that we all fake bodies
30:47Don't just take Mark Anthony when he goes boarding gang and you like oh, no, this is the guy. He's the pure
30:55It's a poodle or poppy poodle
30:58Well, we're wrapping it up thank you for your time to give it up again for fat Joe and Nori
31:03Thank you for representing us day one
31:06respect
