About this episode

YG shares stories about Nipsey Hussle and discusses his new album while reflecting on West Coast hip hop culture.

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by Los Angeles legend YG, fresh off the release of his latest album ‘The Gentlemen’s Club.’  YG explains how the project was a measure of his maturation after he felt like the hip hop world had started boxing him in as an artist. He also tells Joe and Jada incredible stories about the late Nipsey Hussle, from how they became close despite one being a Blood and one being a Crip, their come-up together during the West Coast revival alongside TDE’s Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock, and why Nip’s ability to bring enemies together and make peace made him one of the realest ever. Also: Jada tells a hilarious story about getting arrested in Fayetteville, Joe makes a wild declaration about Ice-T, and YG names the West Coast legends that inspired his career.
