Bun B: Pimp C Told Jay Z The TV Ain't Got No Temperature, Jay Looked At Me And Said.. Big Pimpin $1M

when they connected with jay-z when they got that call from New York what it was like when they heard when they heard that track for the first time how that made them feel and then doing that collab with jay-z what a framework What I cared about most was when the big

pimp

moment, well we got the call for that and we had gotten the call before because they wanted the

pimp

to be there just a week ago, we're too short, but this was right in the middle of the east coast, the west coast , beef and pepper just built their new studio in theirs in mableton, you live here and touhou, if you come and we'll make the record, come to the house we'll make the accident and me. it was like well I'm not leaving the east coast right now, well I'm not leaving the south so I guess it's not going to happen and it just didn't happen but it came back to us and me like I don't know I don't know anything About the song, all I know is that Jay-Z wants me to rap on a record with him, so I'm bringing the best bars I have to the table, that's all.

I'm worried and then I didn't listen to the record until I got to New York and I got into the studio and it's different, right, but not different enough, um, because I went and beat it and it was literally like we were in In the Room and you know, they cut the beat and I listened to it and they got a totally different hook like they didn't have the hook. I put the hook on the puck. They had another hook and he

said

that everyone was going to do their own. hook so I did my verse and that was my hook and I ended up using it for the whole record yeah so I did my verse and my hove stayed like 15 minutes.

They came back 20 minutes and it was like you had something and the guru looks. like you were done and we just sat there talking you know I was like let me hear it and he heard it like damn he left and then we spent about two and a half months trying to convince. pimp to appear on the record, yeah, he finally decides to do it like he's just giving them eight balls. I'm not going to do anything butcher because he had already done it. I think I was 32, right, I went maybe when I was 24, but I got in.

In that sense, he says: I'm going to give it, I'll give you eight balls. Damn, they'll end up being eight of the most iconic bars in history if they've ever been in a room where a big pimp shows up and they get to the pimp part, yeah, it's like world karaoke, Adam is no, it's I mean seriously because I demand from countries that English is not the third language, they speak well, many people don't even speak English, yes, and they say that phonetically, they just sing. Also, I've never been in a room where I perform in any country, in any city, anywhere, I just put the microphone down at that moment smoking, I got up, oh my God, in my hood they call it Buck Holland, fights at the dance and Look, that's his genius, he tried to be the least involved in the record and became the most important part in the video shoot, but what was that like?

So the video has two parts, there is Trinidad and Tobago, yes, what is the original setup for the videos. So they came, they called us, so the original single was the mariah mariah record. He had a record with Mariah Carey and that was the first thing they thought was going to explode and break, it didn't do anything so they called. you know, first because yeah, we like the song, we'll probably release it in the summer, you know, make a good summer record and next college, we'll probably turn it up a little bit, you know, it might come a little bit sooner. call, yeah, this is going to be the next single, you know, good call, yeah, we just got a million dollar budget and we're filming it in Trinidad and Tobago during the carnival, this whole thing goes on and I'm like, okay, do it and Pimp like I ain't goin'.

No damn Trinidad video. I had just bought a new car. She had a new friend at the time and didn't feel like she didn't want to leave the situation to go. Get the video right, well my friend is actually one of the people that's supposed to be in the video so they look for him, they look for her, I'm the only one, no they're together so they never do They get on the plane, they end up doing it. a re-recording like well, where is it? Like I'm in Miami, okay, let's go to Miami, let's shoot this damn video, let's go to Miami, MTV is coming to the set, it's the first rap video on how to make the video like the first time, yeah, and we. shoots all that day uh he shows up and then you see the curves you see the curves and the girl like that appeared appeared in the containers with the girl they dress up they come out in mink coats and it's literally on the beach In Miami it's about 90 degrees outside, yeah , like a pimp, you're really going to wear this bad coat like Jay-Z.

I think you know it's hot out here, look, he

looked

at it and

said

, man, the TV's not hot, come on. what I'm saying and I walked out and jay-z

looked

at me like your brother was a star like that that's the only way they talked about pimp cause he never jumped um when they called he never just jumped like he was busy. I'm busy, my friend, if you're busy, I'm busy too, so what is it? I couldn't do anything but respect him and then when he showed up and said I'm a very private person so I make a lot of money but I don't necessarily look like a lot of money yeah my money looked better on my wife and come on that's typically my mom too, so I show up, you know, very casual, you know, I'm going to meet a lot of jiren, right? and the pimp shows up with the chains and looks at him right, so they think the pimp shows up like me, the pimp showed up like looking at the pimp looking at me like something's not right, people like nah, bumpy man, don't spend this money in that. man don't waste the money on that fool, I was like oh okay, like oh so you thought we were ruined, oh, because he hadn't arrived yet okay and I went down and came in normal, I'm wearing normal clothes, nothing about me paid shout, you know, that's what he does, same thing, yeah, I don't do that because I don't have you.
