We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. My favorite MC of all time. A legend, icon, ladies, gentlemen, ghost face killer. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. What up? How are you feeling, man? Nah, we call him. We calling, King. Glad to be here right now. Man, happy to hear you. I think once. Once, twice, twice. It was twice. Twice. Twice. Twice. It was twice. Twice, yeah. All right. I told you that I was friend at the Wildness. You know what I? I don't know.

I told you that I was

front at the wildest you know what I ain't gonna lie I thought you did I was like God my

man was telling me that he saw you had that face on like yo you know what I mean

downstairs I was like yeah come up here man everything happened for God wanted to happen

that's what I'm saying it's perfect time it's a pre-clientel out this Friday. That's right. You said you would never do a sequel to Supreme Clientel, so what changed your mind? Nah, it was the fans. It was the fans. They kept calling for it. So I'm like, yo, for years, they was calling for it. So, you know, gradually, I was just, I started back then. Like, you know, I saved a couple of joints. Every time I get a joint and I felt like it could be supreme, I just put it in the vote, stashes, stashes. So look, on this album right here, I got like, maybe like five songs from like 20 years ago, 17 and better on it, you know. How do you know this body of work was it, it though this body of work should be supreme clientele too because I I kind of felt good about it you know I mean besides the skits remember last I'm having like a few Iron Man skits on it and stuff like that but now they really they own you now you really can't really do it so you got to you got to just think of like, okay, which way I'm going to go.

And that was one of the hardest parts I had, just trying to find, like, a theme behind it. You know what I mean? So, you know, it took me, it took a while. It took a while. But I got it. I feel I got it. You know what I mean? But, and it's a vibe. You know, when I create albums, I create vibes.

So if I could get ahead and hear it like all the way through,

then I know I'm good.

Then I got my... And it's a vibe, you know, when I create albums, I create vibes. So if I could get ahead and hear it like all the way through,

then I know I'm good. Then I got my, my man's into my play it for, you know, I don't got no yes brothers around me. You know what I mean? So if they like, yo, nah, tone, like, you know what I mean? Then I weigh and judge it and feel like I, you know what maybe he's right i'll tell'll tell him like, yo, what I feel about it, you know, but I made the end decision at the end of the day. So on this project, I just think that we got a good vibe. Now, how do you navigate the landscape today? How do you like the landscape of music and musicians today? Because you're the guy that drops and it gets out the way

we don't see you like literally ghost face like get gone for years but on tour so so how do you

feel about the landscape today of music of music brat rap music i mean you know um i mean it kind of

shifted you know what i mean to another region and i get, you know what I mean, to another region.

And I get it, you know what I mean?

Because nothing stays the same.

You just sometimes just got to adapt to it. But I realize that you just got to do you. You just got to stay in your lane. Just stay right in your lane or whatever. You know what I mean? Because for the people I came up with, you know what I mean? it's like they're still there, they're still out there,

even though they probably got grandkids and,

you know what I mean, whatever the case may be, but, you know,

this real music still exist out there. You know what I mean? Not trying to take away from what else is going on. But you just got to do you, man. I feel like with this Supreme Clientile, too, it's not even like you channeling your era. This feels like 86 to 88. Yeah. Because I'm from that era. You know what I mean? So I love that era. You know what I mean? You know, I'm an R&B dude first. You know what I'm saying? So it's like just to try to go back and get a, that's what I was telling you. Like trying to just get a feeling, get a feeling. and then I found it. Then I'm like, yo, you know what? Let me call a Thai buggy. You know what I mean?

And get him. that's what I was telling you like trying to just get a feeling get a feeling then I found it then I'm like yo you know what let me call a tie buggy you know what I mean and get it more just just to more create that feeling you know what I mean because I was thinking like damn what I'm gonna go with like I was thinking about a lot of rappers I'm even Lauren Hill I'm like then she got miseducation to Lauren Hill and this one got, you know, I'm looking at three feet high and rising and all the other stuff. And, you know, 25 years from the last time we did Supreme Clientel, it's like, yo, some brothers is dead. You know what I mean? And it was a vibe. It was like, you know, people don't understand. Like, if you got a baby, you can't create the same baby. Right. You know what I'm saying? So fans be thinking that, yo, you got to really do it, you know what I mean, like this? But it's, you know, you first of all, these producers now, they're not making the same beats and stuff that they did before. They caught up in like right now. So, you know, I had to find a way. Like, and you know, like you said, God's time is the best time. So, and that's why we're here now. Were you afraid to call the Supreme Court? Well, not fear. Fear is not the right word, but you do you have any hesitation about calling the Supreme Clientel too? Because that gives a different expectation to the body of work not really you know what me it's it's like if I got the beats and I'm focused and I

got time I could do those all day it just it's just a matter of the the the
