You know what I'm sitting there with the opportunity of a lifetime.

This is what I've been waiting for. A moment to showcase my ability.

To someone who can actually do something about it. Someone who can change my life.

That's someone, Irv Gotti, sitting in the studio ready to listen to my music.

They bring one of the engineers in the main engineer, the head engineer. Let me be clear.

His name was Buck. I never forget because I remembered hearing his name on some of Josh

tracks at the time. And they were about to play my music in the studio on the big speakers.

It was showtime. I was ready. I gave him three joints. I said, play any one you want. It don't matter.

Confidence. You know what I mean? It's me. Which one? Don't matter, kid.

Have a you feeling. Pick a door. One, two, three.

So they did. They picked the door. And I think they picked one just the first one that popped up

and then make it all. I didn't overthink it. That joint played for all of maybe seven seconds.

And Buck said, turn it off. Next, you're a foot. You'll give it 15, fam. That's about the rock.

You even let it drop. It's not trusting me. I know I got it if it is. I ain't got a lot of time.

Was next. I look at the earth like interjecting any moment.

I heard said I would have stopped it sooner. Oh,

this is one of those tag team efforts. Okay. Got it. It played the next one.

I feel like the same way I thought it was. I see me soon as I corner.

So now turn it off. You got another one. Of course I do. I said pick a door. One, two,

or three. Finally, they played what was behind door number three.

You know what happened? It's again, one of the most influential moments of my life.

But of course, you're going to have to wait to the end of this episode. Welcome to in the moment.
