So I reached out to him, and they had their attorneys reach back out to me, and I was like, oh, let me just change my name.
Yeah, because I don't spell it the way he spells it, and I never named it. I never sold a product with that name on it that way. But I wanted to do that just out of respect. Yeah. And, you know, people sometimes just see a payday. They don't see, like, a relationship. How dope would it have been? Oh, my God. Noriega, the rapper, met Manuel Noriega. Dude.
The fucking dictator or whatever the fuck he was. You're kicking him with a dictator? I don't even know what the fuck he was. You know what I mean? Whatever the fuck. That would have been dope. I tried to go see him. I really wouldn't have went to go see him. But I think his family saw it like a payday. Yeah. So I got away from it. You know what I mean?
My very first name. What was it? MC Yahoo with the ball at the beam. MC what? MC Yahoo with the ball at the beam. It's a lot. It's a mouthful. It's terrible. Imagine I would have went with it and been successful. Imagine that when it worked. You would have been saying, hey, when I walk by, MC Yahoo with the bald bean.
It was terrible. How long did it last? I was 11 years old. I'm from 11 to 14. Oh, 11. Yeah, yeah. From 11 to 14.
No, I thought I was a grown man at that time. When you're from the ghetto and you're 11 years old. You're 21, sir.
I definitely got laid more than me. We went through a whole bunch of shit. But I'm glad I didn't choose that name, though.
Yeah, of course it's from Belly. Your nickname was Tommy Buns from Belly? From Belly because a lot of people... Let's make some noise for that, goddammit. Yeah, yeah. Sorry to make this drink chance. I apologize. No, I love it. I love it. Yes. Yeah, yeah. So you was watching Belly, and somebody was like... I mean, I'm in college.
Best DMX interview ever. I'm going to give you a Hype Williams story real quick. Yes. I love it. I'm number one coming out of Lefrak City, Queens, 97-30, 57 Avenue, apartment 5E, Corona, New York, 11368. I make it. So I finally get a chance to get a Hype Williams video. Hype Williams is the man in hip hop.
Yeah. Yeah, so put it like this. If you get Hype Williams, you basically win the Super Bowl. Put it like that, right? Nice, nice. But you got to get him. He's weird.
He's weird. He's very hard to get out. He's just weird. He's just eccentric. I don't think he wears deodorant type of shit.
Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, you know what I'm trying to say? He's eccentric, you know? So... We finally get Hype to agree to it. Hype meets us at the Trump Hotel. And he says, yo, get a room at the Trump Hotel. So I get a room at the Trump Hotel, meet Hype Williams. It's just me and him. It's weird. So he says, Roy Jones is the number one boxer at the time.
So he's like, we're going to court Roy Jones, and Roy Jones is going to be a part of your video. So I'm like, OK. He had Roy Jones' number. I didn't have Roy Jones' number. He called Roy Jones and he says, I need you to be in this video. And Roy Jones said, he said, act out the video. And Roy Jones said, no, no, no. I'm not going to act this out. I have a fight this Saturday.
You guys can come this Saturday and film. I immediately hit mute. He says, say it in the mic, they can't hear you. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm like, what is this guy? Loses. We don't want to film that. But Roy Jones was so confident at the time, he said, you guys are good. Came, filmed it, he wins. He can't be touched. He wins. This is when he was untouchable. That's correct.
We filmed the Hype Williams video. Hype Williams gives me a bottle, three bottles of cognac. At the time, we're from the hood. We're used to drinking Hennessy and Coca-Cola. I drank three bottles of Louis XIII. What? Wow. With Pepsi.
Louis XIII. We're sitting there. So I'm having a ball of it. I go backstage. He has a case of Cristal. I'm having a ball of it. Everywhere we go, Mr. Charles, he had Mr. Charles flown in from New York City to Las Vegas. Do you know I paid for all that shit? You did? You? I'm thinking I'm balling on a budget. I'm thinking I had no idea. See, an artist, all of that is charged back to you.
Nothing is more fucked up than the music business. Thank you for saying that.
So it was the most fun I ever had. It was the most balling I ever had. But I did not know I was paying for this whole shit. What was your bill? Do you recall? Absolutely, $1.8 million. $1.8 million? Absolutely.
Wasn't today fun?
