We inside here.

This ain't the media.

I'm not even playing.

I can't wait for y'all

to hear my new sh*t.

I just want to hear

what y'all think.

Beats don't just come out done.

There's an idea.

And there's

the ex ecution of that idea.

Hopefully, you don't just lose

everything in the ex ecution.

And you've got collaboration.

You know what I need.

I need that bounce.

But by far, for me, the most

important thing is inspiration.

As an artist,

if you ain't inspired to work,

then you start thinking.

Once you start thinking,

you start forcing music.

It's never good.

I'm backed in the corner.

Nigga said,

"Don't bring no beats."

I got some sh*t on the bus, too.

I think just as important

as knowing when something is hot

and knowing that this is the one

is knowing when it's not.

That one right there

is very limited.

All right.

I hate when he does that.

I need Memph Bleek for this one.

Okay.

Okay.

You take that side.

I'm gonna take this side.

Everybody on this side,

y'all say, "Nigga what?"

Yeah!

Yeah!

Y'all say, "Nigga who?"

One, two, three!

Madison Square Garden, are y'all

having a good time tonight?

Y'all making a lot of noise.

I gotta know who's making

all that noise.

Is Jersey

in this motherf***er tonight?

What's up, Dirty Jersey?

Is the Bronx

in this motherf***er tonight?

Is Queens

in this motherf***er tonight?

Is Manhattan

in this motherf***er tonight?

Is Brooklyn

in this motherf***er tonight?

Hold on,? uest.

Hold on,? uest.

Hold on one second, my nigga.

Let's keep it bouncing.

I Io ve it. Y'all motherfuckers

crazy tonight.

Everybody in this building,

make some noise!

Thanks a lot, Carline.

I'm just sitting here patiently

waiting for Jigga Man.

Ho v. Jay-Z.

Whatever his name is.

All right.

That was Carline.

Jay's running an hour late.

You know how superstars

be on their bullshit.

My feeling is, whenever

inspiration don't find you,

you have to find it.

And luckily for me, I been

in this business a minute.

I know a couple people.

Some of them

are just permanently inspired.

Play me something, man.

You play.

Play me something.

I know where I'm going.

Play me something.

Play me something.

Why do we go through this

every freaking time?

What?

I ain't.

Go ahead.

I ain't got nothing.

Untuck the hop, then, man.

Follow me on this.

Follow me.

Run the marathon.

Aw, man.

You confused?

What?

You confused?

No, motherf***er.

Yeah, right.

Let me get another one.

You got bounce?

He got no bounce in anything.

- He ain't got...

- Calm down.

You got no bounce, nigga.

You ain't got no bounce, nigga.

The bounce coming up.

That sh*t right there is crazy.
