Dang never really thought about that. Producers would have to stay in the lab while their MC counterpart kept touring. The logistics of that would def be difficult for duos.

So Pete got to dumb down his business opps and limit himself because homie got no skills outside of rappin? Rap affirmative action. Lol. Really.

Just can't take so called grown men smoking weed and supposendly having grown folk talk.

Great MF interview

IM A FAN. YES WE WANT YALL TO MAKE ANOTHER OFFERING. THAT REMINISCE OVR YOU THAT S A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW. I BELIEVE. GET IT TOGETHER

I can listen to CL's wisdom all day.

Well he explained it! And i can't say he's wrong..!!

I get what he saying but i also understand why Pete's not with it anymore. They where good friends when they made those timeless, good vibes, high vibration classics! Now if there is no more friendship, good vibes and kinda low vibrations between them, their new music will never be that soulfull and great! It will just tarnish their legacy and good memories we as fans have of them. So we as fans must respectfully accept this, let it rest and charish the classics they made💯👑

He needs to say what happened without all the theatrical shit. Still not clear

Ma GOD!!!

I love that the real ones speak love on Rkelly the artist. No matter what, R Kelly is the King

Lmao none of this bs is important

Dude wanted to sue Nas almost 30 years later , he broke up with CL Smoothe , Like yo what's really good with Pete Rock fr?

One of my favorite Hip Hop duos!

over the years the stories about pete roK keep adding up. refuse 2 patronize him and play his muzik

Pete Rock said that nigga is good where he is…😂

CL has a point. But I can see the other side also. Maybe it can't work. The producer rapper duo is difficult to keep together. Gangstarr went through the same thing. Producers have numerous ways to get paid. The rapper in the duo can only get paid one way. The rapper can't do as many features as a hot producer can produce music.

As dope as CL was, he could've worked with any dope producer at that time. He almost sounds as if he was relying on PR to "get his payday".

Most underrated rapper of all time…please listen to his lyrical prowess on each song. No MC back then had the lyrical content he had for real.

Kane was a wise man

As a producer that samples I understand where CL is coming from. Without them touring the material he can’t fully eat off the records that had samples that had to be cleared that ultimately affects CL’s bottom line. Pete Rock can eat off of producing for others but they’d REALLY get paid if they toured that original material

Sounds like it’s done for life… crack is stone cold killer people

Pete rock and cl smooth worldwide gods ❤❤

CL should've went to Primo. He seemed like he was too exclusive to Pete Rock which wasn't reciprocal. When he heard who's works is this, he must've been like, where's my 16?

Need to have him and Bleek on your show

I'm mad asf at them big azz teefus

Cmon man you all brought us “The Main Ingredient “ Carmel City 2 is slamming, at the moment. My brother you’re supposed to be on that cut🏆. God Bless

Neeeeega said "camel on a straw"😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"BUT YOU MY BIDNESS, SO I LUV YA DIFFERENT" ....... CLASSIC

I don't know if CL remembers this but back in the mid 90's when their first hit came out i was working as a stage hand in Greensboro, NC. We set up an outdoor concert. Chris Tucker opened the show. It was my first time meeting both guys. CL was up next and I went out to his van to get him. He was sitting in the 2nd row. Steaming about something. Really mad. Breathing hard into his fists. Trying to calm himself down. I opened the door and told him it was time. He ignored me out of anger. I knew something was upsetting him. I didn't push hard but I told him. A lot of people have come to see you. Just you. I'm not sure what's going on but you have fans who want to see you and you've got to calm yourself down and put the music first. And I just sat there in the drivers seat with my feet out the open door. It took a minute or two but he came down off that mountain and gave me the sweetest smile and said okay. He got on stage and did his thing.

"Wasn't no Butterflies. It was BATS!"- CL Smooth

Ultimately it was a greed thing ,once dude got his ,he said forget my guy who was by my side . The dynamic change from a group to individuals. This is the same issue that,s what is plaguing black America

CL JUS' DROPPIN' KNOWLEDGE CONSTANLY!!! I HOPE HE GETS HIS DUE PAYDAY!!!

Rock bands don’t like each other… but they WORK all the time!

Nore looking like a younger and older Puerto Rican Steve Harvey

This makes me sad. In the words of Forrest Gump - 'And that's all i have to say about that !'

Nore rockin one of them fake tupee joints

If he doesn't say Business instead of bidnezz 😂

Most smart people don't want to do business with someone they don't trust or like. Money isn't always the answer.

Stand on your own like Pete🤷🏿‍♂️

This why you respect the producer when u got the chance. As a rapper/ Producer I paid for other ppls beats and verses Knowin I could write and produce my own. "It's a business" work both ways...

So Pete R. was the talent when it came to producing so he was able to get money without performing. Whereas CL was only able to eat from rapping and performing? IMO CL was the better rapper and probably should’ve went solo sooner.

He saying real stuff you at home I have to be on the road major difference

No matter what he says. Pete was still putting music out where was you. Nobody waiting for you to put an album.

Pete Rock went at NaS too. PR might be the problem.

Guru never felt like Premier couldn't produce anybody else

Great lyricist usually have some of the deepest analogies and allegories

If it's just business it ain't right gonna miss Pete rock and cl smooth.😢😢😢

Poor Warren man
