If you watch AEW Grand Slam, then you've seen this guy walk out to the ring with Sammy Guevara. He, has his hands on a lot of theme songs that are in AW right now.

Blak Makk:

And, he is a very busy person, works with a lot of incredible artists. And today, he has decided to give us his time. He is a host of TV's Table, which is a very dope and incredible podcast in his own right. Very, very special brother. Please welcome to the show, Monteezy.

Blak Makk:

How you doing, sir?

Monteasy:

Peace, king. Peace, king. I'm doing good, man. Life is life is good, man. I'm blessed.

Monteasy:

I'm feeling good. Life is, definitely been a blessing for me. I can't complain. I thank God each and every day. I'm here to wake up and have another and have another day and welcome to I'm I'm welcomed and and definitely happy to be on a no gimmicks podcast, man.

Monteasy:

So I salute you.

Blak Makk:

I appreciate your time, man. I definitely do. Now with these, I know you do a lot of these, and I know I know you're very privy to the interviews. So we normally start in a, you know, how did you get into what you do. You know what I mean?

Blak Makk:

But I wanna do something different because you are a different type of person in this aspect to where I come across people, and when I hear it, I'm always intrigued. You always speak about manifestation and how you are able to manifest things and make things happen for you. What is your what is your what is your belief in that and how that has helped you so far

Monteasy:

in your career? Great question. I don't get this question often, man. Great great question. Manifestation truly is confidence and belief in what you in what you set out to do.

Monteasy:

And it's having faith in doing what you're doing and not really worried about the results and worried about the destination as it in is in the journey. I believe that, you know, it it, like it kinda like we have a third eye as people. Right. And we we able to God gives us this opportunity to have a vision, to kinda see things before they happen. So you speak things great things into existence, and manifestation is being able to say, okay.

Monteasy:

This is what I'm shooting for, and I'm just gonna go for it. You know? And let the universe, you know, to God, Allah, whoever you pray to, let that be your your resource to manifestation. I said, okay. I wanna do a podcast.

Monteasy:

Okay? I wanna do theme music. Okay. How am I gonna do this? And I just started working towards it.

Monteasy:

I just started finding ways to get get there. The the direction will get you there where you need to go. You just need to be able to focus on how to get there and just put in the work. Once you met put the manifestation in, you have to put the work in. And I think once you put the work in and you're able to do that, everything else in the world kinda surrounds you.

Monteasy:

You get around the right you get around the right people. You get around the right situations. You get around the right connections. You you get around the right energy, and all that matters in manifestation. So I believe it's believing it, saying it internally, saying it outwardly, and then putting action towards it.

Monteasy:

And then everything in the universe, as long as you remain a good person and keep your karma good, everything will work out towards your manifestation. The problem with people is they manifest these things, but they don't treat people right. They get egotistical. They end up messing up the internal things that got them to that place. So manifestation is all about not only being positive, but how you treat the the universe when the blessings come your way.

Monteasy:

When they start coming your way towards your dream, you can't change towards the manifestation. Otherwise, universal law is treat others how you wanna be treated. So Right. Once you start going against that universal law, stuff stops working for you in that way. So manifestation is not only about achieving your dreams and going towards your dreams, but it's also outwardly how you treat people going towards your manifestation as well.

Blak Makk:

Okay. Yeah. I get that. So in in response to that, how surreal is it to know that you are you did speak these things into existence? Like, for instance, you're like, I wanna do theme songs.

Blak Makk:

You're doing them. Right? You have a you have a very big part in what AEW has going on as far as theme songs. Not only AEW, but I'm pretty sure you affected other areas too. But you are you are very active in that community.

Blak Makk:

How surreal is that for you?

Monteasy:

You know, it's it's it's funny because when you first started in anything and I when I first started in this in 2014, I really didn't have a game plan. I just kinda randomly did it. But something in my spirit told me, hey. You need to build on this. And if you do this the right way, this could be your lane in what you do.

Monteasy:

And if you're willing to put in the hard work, you're willing to do it. But I also to give you the god honest truth. I knew when I started this theme song thing, everybody just wants to shoot for the moon. W b a w b. No.

Monteasy:

AW wasn't around at the time. Right. I said, okay. I need to start it from the ground up. I love that.

Monteasy:

Yeah. Right. Every indie promotion that I could, I spent my own dime, Maryland, West Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, New York, where I'm from. I reside in Florida now, but from New York, you name it. I went to all the underground promotions and made my name there and built up to this point.

Monteasy:

So I I wanted to start so when you start from this when you start with everybody in the trenches, there's a different respect for you when you get up.

Blak Makk:

Right. Right.

Monteasy:

Just wants to shoot to WWE and all that. And that's cool if that's what you wanna do. But what I did was I started from the ground up of every indie promotion. I don't care if there was 30 people there that night at the at the smallest wrestling promotion. Hey.

Monteasy:

I'm a do a theme song for you. I don't want no money for it. I'm a just do it. That's how I

Blak Makk:

started. Right.

Monteasy:

So started from the ground up in my manifestation of this. I had to have a game plan. It wasn't just something everybody went different ways about it. Some people just went to WWE route, and it just worked for them. Me, I in order for me to get where I had to go, I had to outwork everybody, and I had to outwork people.

Monteasy:

And I believe I always call myself the little Wayne of wrestling music because there was a time when little Wayne was on everything. Like, little Wayne was literally dropping albums like like like cake walk.

Blak Makk:

You know?

Monteasy:

And that's where my lane had to be. Until I can get to a point where I could be like a Jay z, the muscle music, while my

Speaker 3:

style is

Monteasy:

not a point and I could kinda be at that point. I had to be the little way into this. I had to be on everything, bro. Everything. And I still do that now.

Monteasy:

The work doesn't stop because I'm at this level. I'm still grinding for indie small small major whatever. I did it. You know what I mean? And that's been part of my manifestation goal towards this, my brother, is outworking everybody, having a game plan, structuring how I did it, and having a game plan in how I was gonna do it.

Monteasy:

So it it's very surreal to be at this point because it all came together from 2014. Now my 10 year anniversary will be February. So to be here Wow. All this time, it's a blessing, brother.

Blak Makk:

Who's the fur who's the first, wrestler that you actually worked with that they

Monteasy:

use it? My man, Dralik, in 2015. Dralik is a wrestler for MCW in Maryland. He's the one that put me on in wrestling. He's the 1st wrestler I ever worked with.

Monteasy:

He gave me my first cosign in wrestling. My man, Drolex, you wrestled for Black Wall Street. That was his group, his stable. 2014 in Maryland, I made his song, like, January or February 2015. And he's the 1st person to put me on in the wrestling business.

Monteasy:

He introduced me to the wrestling business by me making his song.

Blak Makk:

Oh, nice. Nice. Shout out to MCW. We have a couple of group members that represent MCW. So shout out to them, man.

Blak Makk:

How was it how was it hearing your theme music? Somebody walk out to your theme music for the first time.

Monteasy:

Bro, that feel that feeling now to from then to now never gets old. Never gets old. I'm blessed, bro. Like, I'm blessed. That first time hearing that, it's like, damn.

Monteasy:

People nod their head to your music and rock, and I'm like, damn. This is dope. You know? This is fire. And then to see where it is now, 10 years later, I never I never lose that feeling.

Monteasy:

I always remember that first time. Keeps me humble, keeps me working, keeps perspective. I don't wanna lose that. I don't wanna lose that feeling, because then people get complacent. One thing I'm, I'm allergic to complacency, so I love that feeling.

Monteasy:

Every time I hear the music and I hear that feeling, I get excited. And I and I'm happy, and I feel I feel I feel, elated. You know what I mean? That I get to hear that. Thousands of people nodding their head to your music, rocking their music, saying it's dope.

Monteasy:

Man, it's feeling never gets old, man. Eve never gets old.

Blak Makk:

Yeah. I I definitely dig it. So what's your process behind creating a theme song? Well, let's go let's go let's switch a gear real quick. Let's go to your to your actual musical influence.

Blak Makk:

Who what was the person or song that got you to, like, I wanna make music for a living? What was that?

Monteasy:

Okay. I'll give you my inspirations first.

Blak Makk:

K.

Monteasy:

My inspirations were always this because it was 2,003. I was a freshman in high school, and the people that inspired me to make music, it was a few people. It was 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Talib Kweli, Eric Sermon, and Ludacris. Those were the the people that inspired me to make music. I was mentored by, his name was Shmello Durant.

Monteasy:

God bless his soul. Rest in peace. He passed away last year, my mentor. He, he produced Put Your Hands on My Eyes Can See For Busta Rhymes. So he produced that record, and he produced for Petey Pablo.

Monteasy:

He produced for Bell, Bell, Devo. He produced for a bunch of people. Right. And, he actually, contributed to the Poison record about Bel Biv DeVoe. You can he made he added, some production to that record.

Monteasy:

Shout out to him. Change his life. So him and Busta Rhymes were best friends. So, Sharmelo was the one that, honestly, I wanna give him his shout out on a person who mentored me and got me into the music business and taught me that. So with that being said, those people inspired me to make music.

Monteasy:

The songs that inspired me was, Get by by Talib Kweli, Get by by Talib Kweli, The Blast by by Reflection Eternal, to live in high-tech. Mhmm. In the club, the whole get rich or die trying album by 50 Cent. The whole get rich or die trying album by 50 Cent. That album is the blueprint to me you want to rap was that album.

Blak Makk:

That is that is the bomb that went off in the entertainment industry.

Monteasy:

Yes. That song right there, me being a freshman in high school, hearing that song changed my life.

Blak Makk:

Definitely.

Monteasy:

Anything Eric Sermon. Eric Sermon's always been one of my aspirations as a producer slash writer. Love love Eric Sermon for what he provided. Lloyd Banks as a writer, as a lyricist, as a being one of the strongest writers in the entertainment industry and hip hop. So those are the people that did, reflection of turn of the blast, to live quali, get by, common respiration, ludicrous stand up, black thought, the the roots, don't say nothing.

Monteasy:

And, and, the next movement. Man, I could keep going on songs that has inspired me. TI, Be Easy, 8 Ball and MJG, You Don't Want Drama. Anything Bone Thugs. Bone Crazy Bone might be my favorite rapper of all time.

Monteasy:

Like, 50 Cent, it's a tie between 50 Cent and Crazy Bone as I get older. Like, I tried to rap in that kinda speed, and I still ain't get that. Like, those guys are phenomenal. So yeah. Anything Bone Thugs, 50 Cent, though yeah.

Monteasy:

That's the I I can name so many, but to to answer your question directly, yeah, those are the people.

Blak Makk:

Are you some queens?

Monteasy:

Yes. I am.

Blak Makk:

I figured.

Monteasy:

Yes. I am, brother. I

Blak Makk:

I am

Monteasy:

from I am from Queens. A lot

Blak Makk:

of clean Queens references right there. Like, 50, like, 50 was a dead giveaway. I was like, oh, he gotta be. That's that's shout out to the Burrell. They are on our network.

Monteasy:

I'm sorry. I don't mean to interrupt you. I can't believe I forgot to say this. Nas is my favorite rapper of all time.

Blak Makk:

So Oh, I I get

Monteasy:

Nas, godson. Like, I Nas is my my favorite rapper, Volta. I can't believe I always say Nas is my goal, and I can't believe I forgot to mention here. So I have to say that. I'm sorry.

Monteasy:

I didn't mean to interrupt you, Wiz. I had No. No. No. You're good.

Blak Makk:

You're good. You are you are definitely good. So on this show, I play a game called either or, and you just played directly into it. So I got some questions that I'm gonna ask you later. Nas is definitely gonna be a player in this in this game.

Monteasy:

So Gotcha. Gotcha.

Blak Makk:

Let's get it. So, let's let's go back to your to the wrestling part of it. Right? So hip hop and wrestling, they do have, like, this crazy history. Like, it's almost silent, but it's present at the same time.

Blak Makk:

Right? So what is your relationship like with wrestling fans? So how like, you do the themes and everything, but how was your relationship? Right? So you almost you almost got it, Right?

Blak Makk:

So you almost you almost got it. You had you have your foot in the entertainment industry, but to wrestling fans, like, you're very well known. So what's your relationship like then?

Monteasy:

My relationship with them is I'm like, I call myself, like, the people's champion. You know what I mean? Like like, The Rock. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not the I'm not the guy that even even though I'm in wrestling, that's gonna be having the merch tables and and selling merchandise, and that's not my thing.

Monteasy:

I would rather be the person that would do my own, like, podcast at Teesys table, like, my own show, and then come sit with the wrestling fans and sit right next to them. That's the kinda guy that I am. I try to be the common man throughout the Dusty Rhodes. I try to be that guy when it comes to wrestling fans because people have to realize that it's relatable. At the end of the day, no matter how much of a following that you have, if you're not in the ring wrestling, you you there's only so much you can do.

Monteasy:

You know what I mean? Yeah. Like Yeah. Like, they're they are what the people are watching. So Right.

Monteasy:

Me being outside of that and being an artist, I understand that I have to be more in unison with the rest of fans because I'm a fan myself. Even though I'm a artist, I'm not a wrestler. So it's a balance. It's a fine line that where I can be Monteezy, I can be, you know, who I am and my brand name, but I'm also still a fan as well. So keeping that perspective and keeping that self awareness keeps me honest with my wrestling fans, and they support me in whatever I do because I'm still a man of the people, but I'm not I might be associated with AEW, WWE, and certain things, but I'm not too far gone from still being the same fan everybody else is.

Blak Makk:

Right.

Monteasy:

I'm a still buy a ticket. I could I could do I can go to the press box and get tickets or whatnot, but I'd rather sit I'd rather buy my ticket and sit in the crowd with the people at at WWE shows.

Blak Makk:

You know

Monteasy:

what I mean? And sit right next to them. Like, I'm not that's never gonna change with me. You know what I mean? Because I have full understanding.

Monteasy:

So my real relationship is great. I might not tweet about wrestling all the time. I might not Facebook about wrestling all the time. I might not. But my direct relationship with them and seeing what I'm doing has gotten me this far because it's a respect thing.

Monteasy:

It's a natural respect thing. The wrestlers see how I treat it, and the fan see how I treat it. So it's a fine balance that I that I keep, but it it works for me.

Blak Makk:

Right. Right. There there is a there is a fine line, and I'm finding this the more the more I start working around the industry, that the respect always has to be at the forefront. Right? So I respect what they do.

Blak Makk:

I don't get in the ring and do what they do, but I respect it. So me covering it has to be a a a fine line of respect there, like, first. So I definitely agree with with what you're saying. Who was the best wrestler to work with?

Monteasy:

Great question. The best as far as their song.

Blak Makk:

Right.

Monteasy:

Swerve was the most detailed. I can do that. One hit in 2017, he had a distinct thing that he wanted. So that was the most challenging one. But I I knocked it out the park, but it took me I had to I had to, that was the most challenging.

Monteasy:

Sammy was Sammy Guevara was the easiest to do because he was really easy in what he wanted, and he trusted my vision. So, yeah, I would say that. The the the most fulfilling was because in 2017 because of what he wanted, but the easiest was was Sammy. Sammy was the easiest. I'll probably say I'll work with Most wrestlers, when I do stuff, they trust my vision, so it's not really a hard thing.

Monteasy:

They just kinda have a direction on what they wanna hear. Shane Taylor is also another one. He was very easy to work with too. He's kinda descriptive on what he wants, but he trusts my vision. He's very easy to work with too.

Monteasy:

A lot a lot of the guys are really easy, but Sammy definitely was one of the easiest.

Blak Makk:

Okay. I I can I can understand that? We'll come back to Sammy in a second. But staying on that on that wrestler tip, a lot of people don't know a bunch of wrestlers have bars, like straight bars. What was the most surprising wrestler that you found out have bars?

Blak Makk:

Like, for real bars.

Monteasy:

Can is there somebody I'm associated with, or can I say somebody that

Blak Makk:

I It can be anybody?

Monteasy:

Oh, when I started when I started in the studio and then, like, a year later, he's keeping up with me. I'm like, oh, shit. But I'm like, this dude learned quick, man. I was like, man, if I if I keep playing, like, he go he go surpass me real quick musically as far as lyrically. Like, I I get I gave him my sauce, and then next to god, though, he's a fast adapting learner that I've ever that I've ever met.

Monteasy:

So seeing his progress and being a musician for only 3, 4 years to see how his progress musically is phenomenal. The dude's vision and his sound I already told when I first told him, I said, dude, you you could be a rapper, bro. And because you think like me. You think as an artist. You don't think as a wrestler.

Monteasy:

You think as a artist. So seeing where that has gotten to him now, that definitely I was definitely sometimes I was in the studio, and I was like, oh, goddamn. Like like, damn, I gotta rewrite my like, what are you trying to he

Blak Makk:

kinda cook me right now. He has you rewriting your verses? Dang.

Monteasy:

A few of them. A few of them. A few of them. Like, you'll see, like I'll give you a funny story. October 2nd, by the time this drops, it might be out.

Monteasy:

I don't know when you're dropping this, but he'll he's dropping a verse to the still tipping beat from Mike Jones. So me, him, and my guy, Anthony King, were doing like a 2000's mixtape where we're rapping over industry beats. So we're doing a mixtape to where we're, we're all doing that. So we're all doing a song to the still tipping beat. So before, I did a I did a we all did a song we all did a verse to Gossip Folks by Missy Elliott.

Monteasy:

So I I laid my verse first on that. And he was like, oh, okay. That's fine. I could tell he was motivated. So we ended up so the next beat we do in the studio session is still tipping by Mike Jones.

Monteasy:

And he went off so hard. I said, you know what? I ain't coming after you, bro. You got it. You got it, though.

Monteasy:

Well, I'm not I'm not nah, bro. You this this this needs to be you and no. There's nothing I can say after this. So, you know, it's it's it's, that's how it is, man. It's it's it's competitive fun.

Monteasy:

Not nothing it's just pushing each other's iron sharpens iron, swords, sharper swords. So it's just push each other to be better and to stay motivated, not competition on the sense of being better than anybody else, but pushing each other to be better. And you need that amongst amongst men, you need that. So Yes. It's a there.

Monteasy:

I would say Swerve, but definitely. Shout out to Myron Reed. He's dope. Shout out to Myron Reed. Shout out to, I mean, all the guys that's out all the wrestlers out there making music.

Monteasy:

Shout to Leo. Shout out to everybody who's doing they thing.

Blak Makk:

Yeah. Shout out to all of them. Leo was my my most surprising one. Now I found out he he could spit. I was like, oh, man.

Blak Makk:

I didn't know Leo had that in him, but, yeah, shout out to him. So let's let's walk me through your experience. You get the call. You're gonna be on AW Grand Slam. You're gonna be walking out, Sammy Guevara.

Blak Makk:

Walk me through that day. What was that experience like?

Monteasy:

Wow. What a day. So probably a week beforehand, Sammy texts me, and he says, hey, man. I got the performance approved. I said, oh, that's dope.

Monteasy:

I said, that's dope. Where is it gonna be? And he said, grand slam in New York. I said, where I'm from? In my hometown?

Monteasy:

In my city? Where I'm from? You couldn't tell a better story than this. Like Yeah. Word?

Monteasy:

Okay. So first, it was supposed to be a live band at first. AEW was like, nah. We just wanted to be you and him. Cool.

Monteasy:

So I, get there that day. Not really nervous, but when I'm backstage at rehearsal, I'm like, yo, this is real. I'm really doing this.

Blak Makk:

Yeah.

Monteasy:

I'm really doing this. You know? And it was very quiet that whole day for me. A lot of networking. You know, everybody's backstage.

Monteasy:

I'm networking, shaking hands. You know, like they say in the game, shaking hands, kissing babies, meeting meeting meeting everybody. You know what I mean? Yeah. So we do the rehearsal, and I'm like, wow.

Monteasy:

This is dope. So now it's getting closer to the time of the show. I find out, hey. We're going second on the card. I'm like, damn.

Monteasy:

It's a second. Honestly, I know. Hey. That's fast. Oh wee.

Monteasy:

So Eddie Eddie and and, and Claudio are wrestling, and I'm getting mic'd up. And I'm standing there, and Swar is right next to me. Sammy's right there. Chris Jericho is right there. Kenny Omega, The young bucks are around.

Monteasy:

And I'm just looking around, and I'm like, damn. Like, I'm really here. I'm really here. Yeah. And I hear the crowd.

Monteasy:

Everything booming. I'm mic'd up. Sammy comes out, and he does his little Jericho pose. I'm standing right behind the curtain. I wasn't nervous, but I I knew I had to put on a show for my Right.

Monteasy:

That I had. The best that I could. And I'm out there, and I wasn't nervous, but I felt like I deserved it. And I felt like it was my coming of age. I don't get nervous after I perform anymore, But so much in my mind because my granddad who passed away was the person that talked to my granddad here.

Monteasy:

I have my necklace on right here. Definitely gotta show him some love.

Blak Makk:

Try not

Monteasy:

to do that. Is it on my neck? Somewhere around here. Gotta show this. It's my granddad pendulum on my granddad right here.

Monteasy:

Me and him, it's hard to see, but this is me and him. My weight is on my neck. He's the person that inspired me to do music. He's the person that, you know, that pushed me to do this. And, with his with his passing, the first thing I started thinking of was him.

Monteasy:

You know what I mean? Mhmm. And my grandma who who I take care of and and her being my motivation, her watch it on TV, my whole family watch it on television, telling my mom, telling my grandma, telling everybody, hey. I'm a be on television at this time. And to get the feedback, all the wrestling fans, people at my grandmother's job, everybody that's hit me up.

Monteasy:

Man, that was that was a surreal experience that day, man. And to be able to perform in front of 10,000 folks. You know what I mean? I don't care what Jim Cornette said about me. There's nothing.

Blak Makk:

No. That's true positive, bro. You made it. If Cornette's talking about you

Monteasy:

Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely, brother. I I don't take it personal. Amen.

Monteasy:

And maybe my music sucks to you, brother. I understand OG, but I'm still a fan of you. You still I still remember you with the tennis racket back in the day. It doesn't

Blak Makk:

bother me.

Monteasy:

So, you know, I, I'm appreciative of the level of where I'm at. I'm blessed. I'm happy. I am so appreciative of that moment. And for Swerve to be right next to me, and and I I I perform.

Monteasy:

I go back through the curtain and Swerve as the first person right there saluting me, giving me a hug saying you did it. My brother. That's what I'm saying.

Blak Makk:

Shout out. Shout out. Word, man. I'm I'm happy for him too.

Monteasy:

I'm proud of

Blak Makk:

Yeah.

Monteasy:

I'm so proud of that man. I'm so proud of that man and what he's accomplished, what he's built, what he's done

Blak Makk:

Yep.

Monteasy:

And, what we've done together. So it's much what an experience. That was a great experience to be able to do that.

Blak Makk:

Yeah. Shout out to Swerve, man. Did you while you were performing, did you feel like did did, like, the crowd go away for you? Because it's

Monteasy:

such a

Blak Makk:

big moment.

Monteasy:

Yes. It was like I was in there rapping to a empty arena. That's how I felt.

Blak Makk:

Yes.

Monteasy:

That's how I felt. It felt like I was rapping to empty arena. All I saw was Chris, Sammy, and me. That's all I saw. And the camera and the camera pointing at me.

Monteasy:

I didn't see anything else. I've never I haven't watched the full performance back because I don't wanna critique it. I wanna live in the moment. It

Blak Makk:

happened. Yeah.

Monteasy:

And if people rock with it, cool. But I don't wanna look back at it, start critiquing what I coulda done better. Was my was what did I do this right? No. I gave it to the to the universe.

Monteasy:

I did it, and I'm not I'm not I'll watch it maybe a year or 2 from now when kinda gone from the moment, but I haven't watched it back. It was just me. I felt like I was in tunnel vision, me and the camera. And then at the end, the crowd applauded, and then I turned around and left. That's all I that's all I know.

Monteasy:

It's tunnel vision, bro. It was tunnel vision. Straight to

Blak Makk:

I totally get it. I totally get it. Because a moment that big is just like, you have to it's like the sound goes away, and it's just you. You and them. And it's just like, alright.

Blak Makk:

And just to kinda see where it goes and talking to people about my mindset of it, you know, because I have no problem giving up game to people or or my thought process behind things because there's power in information. And a lot of people try to hold their information because they don't wanna give that.

Monteasy:

And anything that I can do to help the next generation if I could find that one kid that's 11 years old and he wants to do this. And I can tootle I could I could pass the torch to him and teach him everything that I know because one day I'm gonna be doing other things or it's not I'm a be the OG so everybody kinda knows who I am. Yeah. And I could build up a new young kid that I can give all my secrets to and have build him up.

Blak Makk:

Yep. Alright. That that'd be dope, man. So just keep working, man. You got you got you got me inspired.

Blak Makk:

For real. For real. So just seeing your hustle and seeing your path and seeing how how unique that really is because, like I said, rap and wrestling have, like, a great history together. So it's dope to see something unique as what you bring to the table. It's really unique, and it's it's awesome, man.

Blak Makk:

It's awesome to see. So I I really I really hope to see you keep working and keep growing, keep building, and, especially with Swerve. Swerve's building the empire, and I see you right along with them building that same empire. So

So I do see we have people in the chat. Feel free to play along, but this one's gonna be for you. Alright? So every guest that comes on, I'm I'm gonna ask you to, even though I know you're not a wrestler, but as a fan, we'll ask you your preference. That would be the last question I ask.

Blak Makk:

I have a streak going, so we'll see.

Monteasy:

No problem.

Blak Makk:

It's either or. I'm gonna say something. Either or, and you pick. It could be based on your preference. It could be based on what you think is better.

Blak Makk:

It could just be based on nothing. Just I like this one. It's this one.

Monteasy:

Okay.

Blak Makk:

Alright. So Sure. Are you ready?

Monteasy:

Let's get

Blak Makk:

it. Alright. So paid in full, the movie or Belly?

Monteasy:

Paid in full.

Blak Makk:

Why?

Monteasy:

I like even though Belly's legendary, you know, Nas is my man. I like the paid in full story. To pay the full story, I I can definitely understand. That's really real life situations. You know?

Monteasy:

People people get shot every day, b. You'll be alright. You know what I mean? Like like you know what I mean? Like, it it'll it's just, it's a great, it's a great story.

Monteasy:

I like the imagery of Belly better, but the the story of paid in full, I I I lean towards more.

Blak Makk:

It's based in truth.

Monteasy:

Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. I like

Blak Makk:

alright. Alright. So let's stay on the movie front. Boys in the hood or menace to society?

Monteasy:

Boys in the hood. Okay. I like I I I like I like boys in the hood. Menace to society is fire, though. Menace to society is amazing, but boys boys in the hood, that story was I'm I'm a fan of the story.

Monteasy:

Now I'm a fan of stories. You know? And boys in the hood had a great story, childhood story. You know what I mean? I love I love great stories.

Monteasy:

Even though some movies might be better in certain ways, but if the story the story gets me. You know? I'm more of the story person. Like, even in wrestling, I like the story. I have to sink into the why instead of just seeing a bunch of people doing a bunch of moves, and I'm not I don't care.

Monteasy:

Like, I need to know why these things are happening. Like, oh, crap. His leg's been worked on the whole match. He's limping. How is he gonna overcome the leg injury?

Monteasy:

How is he selling the leg? Stuff like that. Same thing with movies. I'm the same way.

Blak Makk:

Okay. I I get I I like it. I like it. Alright. Here's one for you.

Blak Makk:

Illmatic or it was written?

Monteasy:

Damn it. I'm not gonna pick. How long you got on this podcast? We might be here for a minute.

Speaker 3:

Damn it. Oh.

Blak Makk:

That's the one.

Monteasy:

Illmatic because of the impact. I will choose Illmatic. But it was written was a better project.

Blak Makk:

Yes. I agree with that.

Monteasy:

A 100%. It was I gave you power is just Yeah. How you how are you 20 something years old and you're writing a story a song as if you're a gun?

Blak Makk:

Yes.

Monteasy:

How are you gonna write a song and I gave you power and you are a gun? And you're rapping from the perspective of a gun.

Blak Makk:

Yes.

Monteasy:

If I rule the world, watch them I can't say the I'm not gonna say the n word on here. But watch them you know what I mean? That's on the Foxy Brown. Yep. Better album to me cohesively.

Monteasy:

But for impact, I choose Illmatic. It ain't hard to tell. I mean, one time for your mind, life's a b with AZ. By the way, I love you Nas, but I thought AZ had the better verse on life's a b.

Blak Makk:

Oh, that's a that's a hot take right there.

Monteasy:

I always thought AZ had the better verse. Hot tape. Even though Nas smoked it or the bro Lamaborn, damn 20. It's a blessing. The essence of.

Monteasy:

I love his verse, but life is the baddest of personal status, depends on salary, and my mentality is like, yo, a b span on that first verse. So yeah. You know, I can quote Nas in Nas songs all day, but, yeah, it Illmatic, but It Was Written was a better concept project, better overall out. Yes.

Blak Makk:

I'm not mad at that, honestly.

Monteasy:

Oh, that's a dope answer. God, Lee. Dude, that's like asking

Blak Makk:

me one

Monteasy:

who who's my favorite kid?

Blak Makk:

I would've said I would've said it was written. It was written was

Monteasy:

a better album for me. Yes. I agree with you. You ain't you ain't gonna get an argument from me there, man. I'm not mad at it, though.

Monteasy:

I'm not mad at it at all.

Blak Makk:

Because you can go either way and either answer is right. It's just I like I like the struggle. Alright. Yeah. One more 2 more.

Monteasy:

Sure. Let's go. Alright.

Blak Makk:

Alright. The blueprint

Monteasy:

or the blackout. Oh, you are

Speaker 3:

killing me, bro. You are oh my god.

Monteasy:

The the blackout.

Blak Makk:

That's a tough one.

Monteasy:

That for me, that's tough, dude. Dude. That's You don't understand. I'm just answering your question because I have to. Dude, that's what I'm talking to with me.

Monteasy:

Don't, dude. I think okay. Oh. Blueprint has 2 songs. Blueprint Blueprint has 2 songs that that I necessarily don't like.

Monteasy:

And black I'm only and black I'd, not a big fan of Jigga Jigga that not a big fan of it.

Blak Makk:

Okay. Okay.

Monteasy:

And I forgot the other one on there that I wasn't particularly a fan of. The only one I didn't like on black album was justify myself. I didn't really like that record.

Blak Makk:

A lot of people don't like that song, but I loved it.

Monteasy:

I I hear you. I understand. So I have to do a process of elimination. If there's 1 song I don't like on 1, but 2, then I'm a choose the one where there's only one song I don't favor. But I think the black album was the greatest retirement album ever done if he would've stayed for you.

Blak Makk:

Yeah. Like He could've made that and I made music again, and that would've been the best album.

Monteasy:

Now this is tough because the blueprint had h to the Izzo that had heart of the city Renegade. Renegade. Dude, like, I'm not that. If you say the blueprint, I'm not damn you. Alright.

Monteasy:

I'll take that back. It's a blueprint, bro. I'm sorry. Blueprint, bro. I'll take it back.

Monteasy:

I love changed clothes. I love I love changed clothes. I love, 99 problems, but do blueprint. I'll take that back. I'm going blueprint.

Monteasy:

I'll take blueprint, brother. I'll take blueprint, brother. Because because all the city

Blak Makk:

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Monteasy:

Mama loves me. Mama left me the outro? Mama left

Blak Makk:

The girls girls girls remix with Michael Jackson.

Monteasy:

And but then on blackout, you've got, my first song with Biggie. Y'all ain't no doubt on top. Y'all wanna know why I don't

Speaker 3:

flop. Like, oh my god.

Monteasy:

I love good hip hop, bro.

Blak Makk:

Yes, man. Yes.

Monteasy:

I remember where I was at when both of those albums were dropped. I remember where I was at in life. Like, me too. Me too.

Blak Makk:

I know exactly where I was in both of those albums.

Monteasy:

Yeah. I have the blue blueprint on a slight edge. Blueprint, slight edge. I've had my blackout, but switching back, Blueprint, even though it had that 1, 2, so I don't favor, Blueprint was so strong, bro.

Blak Makk:

Oh my god.

Monteasy:

Crazy. Kanye Kanye and just Blaze left Earth on that, bro.

Blak Makk:

Yeah. Yeah. This is when Kanye was in his absolute bag.

Monteasy:

Yeah. Absolute bag. Like, Heart of the City is one of the best beats I've ever heard in my life.

Blak Makk:

Yes. I agree with that. I agree with that. For me, yeah, I gotta still though, Black Album Black Album I could still listen to the Black Album and not skip a song.

Monteasy:

Me either.

Blak Makk:

It's one of the few albums that I can do that to.

Monteasy:

Me too. But yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Blak Makk:

So, yeah, that's a hard one. I I'm a go blueprint for now, but ask me again, and my answer may change.

Monteasy:

Yeah. I know, dude. It's hard, dog. Those are not you got me there, brother. You got me there.

Monteasy:

Usually, as the podcast guy, I like putting other people the other I like to reverse it and make them think. You're making me think right now. Jesus. Practice is hard, bro. That is not easy to pick.

Blak Makk:

No. It's not. That's that's a tough choice. So alright. Last one.

Blak Makk:

As a fan, do you prefer a baby face or a heel?

Monteasy:

A heel. Heel. Easily heel. Yeah. Easily.

Monteasy:

Easily. The way what you could tap in to be a heel, to be hated, it's phenomenal. My favorite heel of all time in wrestling is 1991, late 91 to mid 92 Jake the Snake Roberts.

Blak Makk:

You are correct about that. We actually just our last show, we, we looked back at Jake the Snake Roberts attacking macho man Randy Savage with the snake. That time period theater, bro.

Monteasy:

That time period from what he did that snake to when he left at, WrestleMania 8 when he wrestled The Undertaker. Yep. Best he'll work I ever say.

Blak Makk:

Yes.

Monteasy:

I love Vincent McGahn's run with Austin. I love, 97, 98, Eddie Guerrero with the mullet. I love

Blak Makk:

Oh, yeah.

Monteasy:

I love the phenomenal I love Hollywood Rock. I love those guys. But when it comes to 2 things that I will die to my grave on, 91 to 92 Jake Roberts is my favorite heel of all time. In 1989 to 1994, Scott Steiner is the best wrestler I ever saw in my life.

Blak Makk:

Oh, yeah. But the the straps

Monteasy:

right about that. 99 1989 w c

Blak Makk:

Yeah.

Monteasy:

The most athletic dude. I will go to my cross to say that man was not maybe not the best of my wrestler of all time, but, like, as far as, like, what they could do in the ring with the signing driver and and the Frankensteiner, that dude was Yeah.

Blak Makk:

That is

Monteasy:

world young. Not even that guy was in Japan.

Blak Makk:

He was he was on a whole different level. Scott Scott Scott Snyder in Japan is probably one of the best wrestlers that ever walked the planet.

Monteasy:

I will go to my grave saying that time was some of the best wrestle I ever seen in my life was

Blak Makk:

No. You're right.

Monteasy:

Not the pre Papa Popsteiner. Like

Blak Makk:

Yeah.

Monteasy:

Athletic 8088 to 94 period. I will I'll go to my grave with that dude, man. I can watch it. I ain't got this from that time.

Blak Makk:

I still say the Steiner screwdriver is one of the best finishing moves I've ever seen. And he rarely

Monteasy:

That's why they can't have people they can't have people do it no more because it's that crazy. Like Yeah. That's how

Blak Makk:

it's been. It's a variation. Brian Cage actually does it. Yeah. He breaks it out rarely too.

Blak Makk:

And it's like, when when you see it, it's like, oh, man. That move is crazy. Yes, sir. It is crazy. But, yeah, I I gotta agree with you.

Blak Makk:

I gotta agree with you.

Monteasy:

Just I'll tell people, you wanna watch wrestling? You wanna watch real wrestling? Watch that wedding when that snake come out as snake is is is is it's got that snake in Elizabeth's face. Watch. Watch.

Monteasy:

Watch. That's wrestling. That's wrestling. That's wrestling. And that man after the the promos, that evil sinister just didn't have to didn't have to yell.

Monteasy:

Yep. You know? He's just talking

Blak Makk:

to Tom like he's right in your face. Like

Monteasy:

I try to do that's who I try to be in the podcasting world with a little bit of humor to it. I try to be that in the podcast. Well, Jake is phenomenal, bro.

Blak Makk:

Yes. Yes. He is. And I'm I'm so I'm so happy for him now seeing him in the place he is now. Like, I love that for him, man.

Blak Makk:

Like, thrill. Because I did revere him when I, like, when I was little. The DDT for everybody who doesn't know, the DDT was, like, the move back then. It was moving. Somebody, it was over.

Blak Makk:

Bye. It was over. Bye. Yep. Good night.

Monteasy:

Because DDT the DDT happened is over, bro. There's no there's no coming back from that.

Blak Makk:

Yep. Good night. It's over.

Monteasy:

Yeah. I miss simple finishing moves like that. I miss finish your moves like that. That was simple, and it's sold to the point. Like, yep.

Monteasy:

Now that the DBTs are some regular now. Back then, when Jake hooked that arm, hooked that head.

Blak Makk:

Wake him up later. It's over.

Monteasy:

That's it. Love Jake, and I love Scott Snyder. I love I love the heel. 97, 98, wrestling Rey Mysterio, WCW, Mullet, Eddie Guerrero. When he come out, he he would just kinda have that cocky walk and just look.

Monteasy:

Mhmm. I love that. I love Hollywood Rock. I love heel, heel right before he left, Batista. Heel Batista, when he came out and he had a spotlight on him when he was walking.

Monteasy:

Yep. Love that era of him. I love rated r superstar edge. I love heels, bro. I love I love heels.

Monteasy:

I love I love prime, putting people in the head, Randy Orton.

Blak Makk:

The legend killer.

Monteasy:

I love legend killer, but the viper kicking people in the head, Randy. I love, I love the work Swirrah's doing right now, and I'm biased.

Blak Makk:

Gonna say that too.

Monteasy:

Extremely biased, and I will and that's fine.

Blak Makk:

I'm that this is not biased. He's just that great right now. Swerve is

Monteasy:

Absolutely.

Blak Makk:

He's on a whole new level right now, especially with the work he did this past week with Hangman, that promo that he that he cut. Like, what's a cowboy to an outlaw? Like, what? What's a what's a, what did you say? What's a what's a buckshot to a kill shot?

Blak Makk:

Like,

Monteasy:

bro No.

Blak Makk:

He's he's gonna be

Monteasy:

the first he's gonna be the 1st black heavyweight champion. It's coming.

Blak Makk:

I'm here for it.

Monteasy:

He's gonna be for it. He he's the one. Yeah. I'll tell him all the time. I'll tell him all the time.

Monteasy:

You're the one, bro. You're the guy.

Blak Makk:

Yes. He

Monteasy:

is. He is. The look. He's got the build now. He's got the see, he got the, the charisma, the the the, the the, you know, that kinda genocide quad bottom.

Monteasy:

He'll be the 1st champion. He'll be the 1st back heavyweight champion. It's coming.

Blak Makk:

It screams he swerved without even trying. Screams, I am a star. Pay attention to me.

Monteasy:

Yeah. And not everybody has that. Not everybody has that. Some people gotta force it. Some people he's got it.

Monteasy:

He's got it. Whatever that it is, he's got it.

Blak Makk:

I know. And I when so I live in California, and I recently moved to Texas. But before I left, this was swerve debut at a New Japan, show that they had there. Him and Jay White, coincidentally. He he wrestled Jay White that night.

Blak Makk:

And when he came out, it wasn't and I watched Swerve on WWE. You could tell he was on a mission that night. You could tell. And I was like, I'm going to pay attention, miss Werve, because he looks like he is on a mission to be the top guy wherever he goes, and he's reaching that. He he really is.

Blak Makk:

So I'm very excited to see where he goes from here. And I really do want him to be champion.

Monteasy:

He'll he'll get it. And I I believed in my brother. Not only is he motivated, but he's he's got his his mind in the right direction. And with that, you can achieve anything. And with anything, it's a yin and yang in life.

Monteasy:

You have your ups and downs. You have to pay the price in order to be successful in anything. There's something you're gonna have to pay the price on. And he's paid the price personally. Many things has happened to him, and he's overcome them that I know in his life.

Monteasy:

And I'm happy to see where he's at now. It's just the beginning, and I'm happy to assist my brother any way that I can to him being successful because I believe in him, and he's done the same thing for me. So without him, I wouldn't be here right now. So we we work we work in unison, but I'm definitely proud of him. Extremely proud.

Blak Makk:

Shut up, Swerve, man. Shut up, Swerve. Again, again. Alright, man. I kept you a long time.
