his record was done before 4:44. But do you hear Hov talk about wanting to be with Beyonce. And people are just focused that it’s Beyonce. That man is in love. Let’s take the fact that’s not Jay. Let’s take the fact that it’s not Beyonce. The way he says shit. “When you come back to home, pick up the phone.” That’s un-hip-hop. I made this record before 4:44 for sure. We got the records in the studio, but that’s how I felt. Because my lady or my wife is not on television like a Kardashian, don’t think I look at her or love her like a Kardashian. Or look at her or love her like a Beyonce.
Hov, that man was speaking that shit. He like, “Nigga! I ain’t gonna lose my life for one night.” This is real shit. I sent Hov a stripper one time. He said, “Wrong number.” Because we did Drink Champs in the strip club, and I just sent him a picture. And he’s like, “Wrong number NORE.” I was like, “Oh shit!” I wised up. My wife was right there while we’re filming, but this is real shit. The older you get, you’re like, I don’t want another girl. I don’t want to be on the road smashing and moving on. You notice that lonely guy when you’re on the road. There’s that one lonely dude, he’s always in the lobby. Every night, he always at the lobby and the whole night, he was dissing the big girl. He’s like, “Nah I ain’t touching the big girls.” And that lonely night come and that big girl run through and you know what the big girl do? They always come home to big mama. That’s just his whole life. Because you want to be on the road and there’s nobody to trust.
Love is a beautiful thing, man. Try that shit. If it don’t work? Try it again. That’s what I’m here to preach, and that’s why the name of the record is called “Uno Mas.” Try love again. Try to make a hit again. Try to live your life again. Try to recreate your career again. Try to do something. Do it one more time, even if you fell on your face. Even if you fell on your face and shit fell on your face. Even if you fell down the steps and broke your shit, you know what? Get the fuck back up and do it again. I’m a prime example. Everybody counted me out. Not once, not twice, but maybe seven times. Counted me out as 20 years. Maybe even more than seven. People just said it’s over and I just did what I had to do.
I never complained when I was down, and I ain’t brag when I was up. I just kept it real and I shut the fuck up. My complaints are kept to myself. And that’s just what it is. Just do it one more time. If you’re a person out there and you’re dealing with something and you’re like, “This is it for me. I ain’t into it no more.” Take a break and relax. But remember, do it once more. Uno mas. Try that shit one more time because this might be the time.
