You was almost a No Limit Soldier at one time. So who showed up for cash money? Who didn't show up and who showed up? Well, Wayne and Turk wasn't there. I think Wayne didn't come because I heard that he didn't come because I heard Wayne didn't come because there were certain songs that they wasn't going to let him perform because of clearance issues as crazy as that song. You know how you go on TV and do certain stuff. So he was like, if I can't do them songs, I'm not coming. So he wasn't there. Juvenile was there though. Mani was there. Bird was there. They had the whole click there. You know, Nikki wasn't there and drake was there they kind of kept it

It is. I can't change the reality of what it is, at least of what it's been for me. But, you know, people look at the rap game like, man, I don't like school.
