When I started shooting,  I only was shooting what I knew. 3 00:01:16,701 --> 00:01:19,454 Low-riders, the hood,              my friends. 4 00:01:19,496 --> 00:01:23,291 I took pictures,      and people never saw them. 5 00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:25,168 The guys were like,             "Hey, homie, 6 00:01:25,210 --> 00:01:27,087 let me see the pictures            from the tour." 7 00:01:27,128 --> 00:01:29,214 And I was like, "Ah,        I didn't get that shit 8 00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:31,674 developed yet,"     and they're like, "Why not?" 9 00:01:31,716 --> 00:01:35,762

 kept moving forward with it. 283 00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:33,289 I know they were worried               about me 284 00:14:33,330 --> 00:14:34,915 because they knew        who I was running with. 285

It was, you know,         typical hangout night 290 00:14:52,933 --> 00:14:56,687 with the homies,     but we went to another hood. 291 00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:59,231 Car pulls up, four dudes in it.

and the this-and-that           starts happening, 295 00:15:07,323 --> 00:15:10,701 and then we see the rifle              coming out. 296 00:15:11,368 --> 00:15:12,786 They shot at me four times, 297 00:15:12,828 --> 00:15:15,247 and I could hear three of 'em         right in back of me, 298 00:15:15,289 --> 00:15:17,041 like they're--          they're chasing me. 299 00:15:17,082 --> 00:15:19,835

It was a natural thing for me           until it wasn't, 307 00:15:43,233 --> 00:15:47,947 and the music changed my mind  about what I was gonna be doing. 308 00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:55,329 Sen Dog and DJ Muggs,        they came and asked me, 309 00:15:55,371 --> 00:15:57,122 "Hey, you know,          why don't you come 310 00:15:57,164 --> 00:15:59,291 and write some songs?" 311

    because I started having fun 316 00:16:13,597 --> 00:16:16,767 writing these songs again  and thinking, like, I can do it. 317 00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:19,061 I could actually write a song. 318

00:24:28,258 The thing was is that 518 00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,760 it was very taboo     to talk about it at the time. 519 00:24:31,803 --> 00:24:33,513 One year,         marijuana to heroin, 520

When kids ask me, "What are    the worst drugs on the street?" 523 00:24:38,518 --> 00:24:40,479 And you know what answers        they wanna hear, right? 524 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,813 "That's crack, it's PCP, 525 00:24:41,855 --> 00:24:43,940 turn your brain to applesauce."           I say marijuana. 526 00:24:44,858 --> 00:24:47,110 No one else          was really engaging 527 00:24:47,152 --> 00:24:50,155 like we were in hip-hop,               you know. 528 00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:52,908 And they-- some labels         didn't understand it. 529 00:24:52,949 --> 00:24:54,993 I mean, we had motherfuckers           asking us, like, 530 00:24:55,035 --> 00:24:57,329 "What are you guys            talking about? 531 00:24:57,370 --> 00:24:59,748 You guys are talking

My, my, my, my beat            is ever booming 784 00:36:12,503 --> 00:36:14,630 Now, "Kill a Man," off the gate, 785 00:36:14,672 --> 00:36:16,674 it's very difficult,        because even back then 786 00:36:16,716 --> 00:36:18,301 they would have had           to edit that out. 787 00:36:18,342 --> 00:36:21,804 They didn't wanna use words     like you're killing somebody. 788 00:36:21,846 --> 00:36:23,514 Today, you just hear the radio, 789 00:36:23,556 --> 00:36:25,349 and they just say drugs,               and guns, 790 00:36:25,391 --> 00:36:27,518 and it's just regular. 791 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,687 Well, back then            it was a no-no. 792 00:36:29,729 --> 00:36:30,938 How do you feel              about that? 793 00:36:30,980 --> 00:36:32,023 Do you care about airplay? 794 00:36:32,064 --> 00:36:33,316 -We don't.              -No, we... 795 00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:35,151 We don't really care about it,        'cause for some reason 796 00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:38,946 people tend to shy away from us     and not give us that airplay, 797 00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:40,573 to where the other groups            who have, like, 798 00:36:40,615 --> 00:36:42,200 they're easier          to play them groups 799 00:36:42,241 --> 00:36:44,660 'cause they don't take        that stand like we do. 800 00:36:44,702 --> 00:36:47,622 But we do take the stand,         and some costs of it 801 00:36:47,663 --> 00:36:50,124 is that they're not gonna    wanna play us on some stations. 802 00:36:50,166 --> 00:36:52,460 But, like, it's no big deal           to us, you know. 803 00:36:52,501 --> 00:36:54,253 -Right.         -Still sell records. 804 00:37:03,262 --> 00:37:05,097 If you didn't feel         like you were getting 805 00:37:05,139 --> 00:37:08,809 enough MTV support           or radio support, 806 00:37:08,851 --> 00:37:12,480 you had to get out there         and win people over. 807 00:37:12,521 --> 00:37:14,148 And our way        of winning people over 808 00:37:14,190 --> 00:37:16,817 was for us to play,       so we went out and toured 809 00:37:16,859 --> 00:37:19,111 with anyone who would             tour with us. 810 00:37:19,153 --> 00:37:21,405 Standing on the corner      close to the real estate... 811 00:37:21,447 --> 00:37:23,199 We understood one thing,       though, at the beginning, 812 00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:26,035 was the only way      to get exposure to the fans 813 00:37:26,077 --> 00:37:28,454 is be like a motherfucking            punk rock band, 814 00:37:28,496 --> 00:37:31,123 and get on the road    and get in front of the people. 815 00:37:31,165 --> 00:37:32,875 So-called MC's            with a roll call 816 00:37:32,917

and then to be on stage             with whoever. 819 00:37:39,882 --> 00:37:42,009 We didn't care.        We was like, let's go. 820 00:37:42,051 --> 00:37:44,345 Didn't just break out,

 and Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam, 827 00:38:00,194 --> 00:38:03,281 and in the middle of those guys,        they stuck us in there. 828 00:38:03,906 --> 00:38:06,033 Remember, we watched

So, we started bringing him out. 918 00:43:10,421 --> 00:43:12,506 We got my homeboy            throwing down. 919 00:43:12,548 --> 00:43:15,634 Eric Bobo,      what the fuck's up, homie? 920

No, man, it was nothing     that any of the brothers did 1405 01:06:09,548 --> 01:06:10,967 on the tour bus        or anything like that. 1406 01:06:11,008 --> 01:06:14,553 It was, I can honestly say

 I wanted to go out. 1409 01:06:18,599 --> 01:06:20,518 And if we were out            for six weeks, 1410 01:06:20,559 --> 01:06:21,811 and somewhere around            the third week 1411 01:06:21,852 --> 01:06:23,688 I decided I'm done,             I'm leaving, 1412 01:06:23,729 --> 01:06:26,315 and there's nothing anybody       could do to hold me back. 1413 01:06:30,695 --> 01:06:34,657 As you can see, Sen Dog    is not with our crew no longer, 1414 01:06:34,699 --> 01:06:37,785 and we want y'all,            as well as us, 1415 01:06:37,827 --> 01:06:40,579 we're gonna give him

 of wind out of the sails, 1425 01:07:10,818 --> 01:07:12,361 'cause it felt like          we were invincible, 1426 01:07:12,403 --> 01:07:14,363 we could not be stopped,               you know? 1427

 "Temple of Boom." 1553 01:13:40,916 --> 01:13:43,794 He's been working     with his own rock band SX-10, 1554 01:13:43,836 --> 01:13:45,170 which will release            its debut album 1555 01:13:45,212 --> 01:13:47,548 on an independent label           later this year. 1556 01:13:47,589 --> 01:13:49,758 How permanently had Sen Dog            left the group? 1557 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:51,593 I mean, was he--      did it take much persuasion 1558 01:13:51,635 --> 01:13:52,761 to get him back, or...? 1559 01:13:52,803 --> 01:13:55,055 You know,         I think what it was, 1560 01:13:55,097 --> 01:13:56,473 was us reaching out to him, 1561 01:13:56,515 --> 01:13:59,184 expressing to him that we wanted        him to be a part of it, 1562 01:13:59,226 --> 01:14:00,936 that he was always        a member of this group, 1563 01:14:00,978 --> 01:14:03,147 no matter what           he decided to do. 1564 01:14:03,939 --> 01:14:06,108 I think that convinced him            that, you know, 1565 01:14:06,150 --> 01:14:07,317 he still had family here. 1566 01:14:07,359 --> 01:14:08,986 Then one day he just           came in and said, 1567 01:14:09,027 --> 01:14:10,195 "I'm ready to do this." 1568 01:14:10,237 --> 01:14:12,322 So, we started banging songs out             the next day. 1569 01:14:12,364 --> 01:14:14,116 It's something         we definitely wanted.

01:14:21,290 he had to feel ready himself, 1573 01:14:21,331 --> 01:14:23,167 you know, and get          that confidence up. 1574 01:14:23,208 --> 01:14:26,920 And he came back with a bang,        you know, reenergized. 1575 01:14:30,799 --> 01:14:33,135 Name of the most high. 1576 01:14:33,177 --> 01:14:34,595 Name of the most high,             we thank you 1577 01:14:34,636 --> 01:14:37,055

Gotta look over        your shoulder constantly 1597 01:15:39,117 --> 01:15:41,703 I remember the days when I was         a young kid growin' up 1598 01:15:41,745 --> 01:15:44,373 Looking in the mirror       dreamin' about blowin' up 1599 01:15:44,414 --> 01:15:46,250 The rock crowd, make money,         chill with the honies 1600 01:15:46,291 --> 01:15:49,211

01:15:58,387 --> 01:16:01,056 but then we didn't wanna step    on what we had already created. 1606 01:16:01,098 --> 01:16:02,849 You know, and then           we was like, yo, 1607 01:16:02,891 --> 01:16:04,434 let's just record two albums. 1608 01:16:04,476 --> 01:16:07,104 Let's record a rock album           and a rap album, 1609 01:16:07,145 --> 01:16:09,022 and we'll put 'em          as a double album, 1610 01:16:09,064 --> 01:16:10,607 but they'll be--      we won't mix 'em together. 1611 01:16:10,649 --> 01:16:12,484 So, if you don't want to hear    the rock, you have the choice. 1612 01:16:12,526 --> 01:16:14,611 If you don't wanna hear the rap,      you have the choice, so... 1613 01:16:14,653 --> 01:16:17,239 Still filling your head

1616 01:16:22,077 --> 01:16:25,080 and I think      "Can't Get the Best of Me" 1617 01:16:25,122 --> 01:16:27,249 was supposed to be           the rock single. 1618 01:16:27,291 --> 01:16:30,836 Donny Ienner was like,       "No, this is the single. 1619 01:16:30,877 --> 01:16:33,213 'Rap Superstar,'"           and that was it. 1620 01:16:33,255 --> 01:16:35,382 I went back to L.A.         and I started working 1621 01:16:35,424 --> 01:16:37,217 on the remix for           "Rock Superstar." 1622 01:16:37,259 --> 01:16:38,468 I had B-Real come in, 1623 01:16:38,510 --> 01:16:40,220

01:17:29,227 of doing the live stuff               on stage, 1643 01:17:29,269 --> 01:17:31,229 I think it just        took them even further. 1644 01:17:31,271 --> 01:17:35,442 They were on the edge      of that musically anyways, 1645 01:17:35,484 --> 01:17:37,402 'cause it wasn't          traditionally rap, 1646 01:17:37,444 --> 01:17:40,530 wasn't traditionally rock,           but had elements

01:18:44,761 --> 01:18:46,388 I guess that's the trick. 1673 01:18:47,097 --> 01:18:50,016 Hardcore rap          translates to rock 1674 01:18:50,058 --> 01:18:53,061 better than softcore rap. 1675 01:18:55,230 --> 01:18:56,773 For a group      to be on their fifth album 1676 01:18:56,815 --> 01:19:00,485 and be brand-new and hit,    and be on the top of the world, 1677 01:19:00,527 -->

01:19:20,255 you had to buy the album. 1683 01:19:20,297 --> 01:19:24,050 But now, these guys            called Napster 1684 01:19:24,092 --> 01:19:26,470 were coming out with an idea 1685 01:19:26,511 --> 01:19:30,098 of, we're gonna put     all the music on the internet 1686 01:19:30,140 --> 01:19:34,102 and we're gonna let everybody           play it for free. 1687 01:19:34,144 --> 01:19:36,938 And the music industry              went crazy. 1688 01:19:38,273 --> 01:19:40,400 But Cypress      thought about it different. 1689 01:19:40,442 --> 01:19:42,611 Like, they paid us        a good amount of money 1690 01:19:42,652 --> 01:19:44,321 to go on tour with Limp Bizkit, 1691 01:19:44,362 --> 01:19:46,782 and they're like, "We're gonna       pay you this much money, 1692 01:19:46,823 --> 01:19:50,952 we're gonna have you go on tour,       and every show is free." 1693 01:19:51,703 --> 01:19:54,498 So, for the first time            in the history, 1694 01:19:54,539 --> 01:19:56,833 music was being          given away for free 1695 01:19:56,875 --> 01:19:59,669 and concerts were being given            away for free. 1696 01:19:59,711 --> 01:20:02,631 And we are the ones     that did it with Limp Bizkit, 1697 01:20:02,672 --> 01:20:04,925 and people were pissed. 1698 01:20:04,966 --> 01:20:07,219 We wanted to remove      everything that people know
