Joe Rogan Experience #1570 - Willie D & Mike Judge

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Willie D and Mike Judge together at last.
Good to see you, man.
Absolutely.
You're the first guy in the studio to bring his own headphones,
the first guy ever in 1,500 shows.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Well, you know where there's a will, there's a way.
Well, they fit, too.
They're unique.
Right.
And, Mike, you just happen to be rolling with Willie,
so you're here today as well.
Yes, thanks for having me.
My pleasure, man.
I wanted to get a hold of you and find the good spots in Austin anyway, man.
You've been here for a long time, right?
Yeah, since 94.
And I'd come down here a lot before that.
Lived in Dallas.
What's going on with Beavis and Butthead?
It's coming back.
It really is?
Yeah.
In fact, that's why I'm going to have to split in a little while
for some Zoom meetings.
But, yeah, no, it really is.
Yeah, we're doing, I think it's going to be good.
Dude, I was a gigantic fan of Beavis and Butthead.
Right around the time I started smoking pot
was when I really got into Beavis and Butthead
at the same time.
Yeah, we had a lot of stoners that liked it.
Also, a lot of people talking about it,
like watching it after you come home from a bar,
that sort of thing.
Yeah, it was one of the silliest shows ever.
It was ridiculous.
Now everyone will be drinking at home and getting stoned.
Well, you always get stoned at home.
And Willie, I've been a fan of the Ghetto Boys
since the very beginning.
So when I first met you in Houston,
I rarely geek out.
But when I met you, I mean, dude,
when I used to deliver newspapers,
I used to listen to the Ghetto Boys
while I was delivering newspapers.
I didn't know you delivered newspapers.
We got something in common, man.
We got something else in common.
You did that too?
Well, I delivered newspapers
and I also sold door-to-door subscriptions
for the Houston Chronicle.
No kidding.
Yeah.
I did the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald.
When did you guys start?
When did the Ghetto Boys start?
The incarnation that everybody know right now
is myself, Scarface, and Bushwick
with Reddy Red.
We started in 89,
but the group actually was formed in 87.
Wow.
Man, 1980.
Because you've got to think,
when was Sugar Hill Gang?
That was 81?
That's like 83.
83.
Dude, you were-
No, no, no, no.
More than, less than,
oh, no, no.
Sugar Hill Gang, 79.
Yeah, that was, wow.
Yeah.
I was in high school.
Yeah, that's like 79.
79.
So you were there
in the earliest days of hip-hop.
Yeah.
That's an amazing thing to be a part of.
Like when an art form emerges.
Mm-hmm.
You know, there's, like,
how many people can say
that they were there
when an art form emerged?
Yeah, as a fan, I was, like,
because I was into blues,
but that was all before I was born,
and then when this stuff was happening
while we're alive watching it,
it was just really cool to see.
I was in Jamaica Plain.
I was, I guess I was in, like,
seventh grade or something like that,
and Jamaica Plain was a suburb of Boston,
and I was in school,
and some kid had a beatbox
that he brought to school,
and he was playing Sugar Hill Gang.
I'll never forget this.
I was like, wow, that's different.
Yeah.
And that was the beginning.
Man, that Sugar Hill Gang, man.
I remember I used to play football
for Hester House.
It's a community center in Fifth Ward,
and I used to play for the Houston Cowboys.
Go figure, right?
So we played in the Astrodome.
That was a big deal, you know?
That's what Houston Oilers played at.
And so I remember being on the bus
and the whole team singing that song.
They played the song,
and everybody was singing it word for word.
That's my greatest experience
when I think about that song.
Like, everybody knew every single word.
I mean, you had to know the word,
every single word to the song,
or else you wasn't cool.
It's kind of like knowing every single word
to Mo City done freestyle,
you know, by Zero in Houston.
Like, if you don't know that song,
you're not a Houstonian.
I'm not aware of it.
Yeah, it's a song by Zero.
Zero, he's done some collaborations
with ghetto boys.
But he stands on his own.
He's huge throughout the South, mainly.
Do go platinum in the South by itself.
You know, just the South.
Zero, if you're not up on it, man,
get up on it, man.
I'll have to get up on it
after the podcast is over.
I will most likely get up on it.
Yeah.
But you were there, like,
you were there when hip-hop
was also getting censored, too.
Remember those,
the Tipper Gore days?
Like, a lot of people don't remember.
Al Gore's wife.
Tipper Gore, I can't stand you, girl.
Don't get your head knocked off
like Daniel Pearl.
From what I hear on the streets,
you a big old freak.
What gives you credibility
to Peter Moore police?
Sharp as a crease, impetuous.
As of, as the Middle East,
sit on your, what, what?
Okay, I forgot.
Hey, but I had it, man.
I had it for a moment.
People forgot that Al Gore's wife
was trying to censor hip-hop.
Like, people, you know,
a lot of times people think
of, like, the right-wing
as being the people
that try to censor speech,
but back then,
it was Tipper Gore
that was on this,
she was on this mission.
What was it?
Parents for Music,
sucked in censorship.
Yeah, there were several,
there was morality in media.
Yeah, that's right.
They went after Beavis and Butthead, too.
Well, then they went after
two live crew.
Like, that's when things got serious
because that actually went to court.
That was crazy.
Like, people that don't remember,
like, you know,
there's some people in this country
that are,
they were on the front line
of censorship
and two live crew
was one of the big ones.
Yeah.
Like, they went to court
in Florida,
Broward County.
In Broward County,
they could,
they have crazy laws in Florida.
They put Beavis in jail
for all kinds of weird shit.
And they just decided
that that was obscene.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They,
they made that move on us.
Pull us,
pull us forward
a little bit.
So you can,
forward?
Yeah.
Just so,
it's not on your neck there.
There you go.
Yeah, so,
yeah,
they tried to make that move on us
and we were defined
to the end,
man.
Like,
I remember going
to one city
and we stood on stage
and they was like,
yeah,
y'all can't play.
Cause we,
we had planned on going,
well,
this was in Florida.
I can't remember exactly
what city it was,
but we went there
and our goal
was to play
no matter what.
We was gonna
rap our lyrics
exactly as they were.
and we get there
and then they say,
well,
the city
has changed their mind.
You can't play
at all.
So they got us
on that one.
So you had to shut down
the show?
Yeah,
we,
yeah,
couldn't do it at all.
The Ghetto Boys
was,
was the first group
to have a manufacturer
decline
or to say
that,
you know,
decline
the distribution
of our music.
It was the first
group in music history
where a manufacturer
said,
we're not gonna press.
Which album?
That was the
Ghetto Boys
self-titled album.
Wow.
Yeah,
that was 92.
That was the
Rick Rubin remake.
So we did the,
it was
the grip it on
that other level album,
right?
So it was like
a remake of that
with two extra songs
that Rick Rubin
produced
and
the other songs
were like
songs
that he
kind of
just kind of
remixed a little bit
but they had
the same sound
for the most,
so sonically
they were pretty much
the same
but
there was two
new songs added.
So that's when
we changed the name
of the group
to G-E-T-O,
the spelling
of the group,
G-E-T-O
from G-H-E-T-T-O.
But yeah,
you know,
the funny thing
was that,
well it wasn't funny
at the time
but,
well it still ain't funny.
you know,
this Geffen Records,
Dave and Geffen,
he decided
that he was not
going to
distribute
our music
but he was cool
with distributing
Andrew Dice Clay
and Guns N' Roses
and you know
what type of music
these guys were doing
at that time.
We're talking about
1990.
You know?
So,
of course,
I mean,
we was like,
yeah man,
this is censorship
and we know why.
Wink, wink.
You know?
We know.
Yeah.
You know,
so,
we hit,
that's when we came
with the
We Can't Be Stopped album.
That album cover.
Yeah.
Jesus.
Christ.
We see Bushwick Bill
with a patch over his eye
in the hospital gurney
and you guys are rolling
with him behind
and that's the album cover.
Look at that.
Yeah.
I mean,
come on.
That is classic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is a classic album cover.
I mean.
He can't be stopped.
And Bushwick's
on the old school cell phone.
The brick.
And that's done,
that was done
like
totally spontaneously.
Wow.
We didn't,
it was totally unplanned
because we had finished
the album
and then
Bushwick gets shot.
And this would happen
a lot with Bill.
Like,
Bill could get a job done
and like,
if he had something
major to do,
he'd get it done.
But then after you get it done,
you know,
it's just something
starts going on.
Some stuff
just starts happening.
So,
we had finished the album
and,
you know,
get a call.
Bill got shot.
Go up to the hospital.
Immediately in my mind,
this is my Cowboy
Western days,
mind you.
I'm thinking revenge.
Like,
I don't care who shot him,
who shot him,
you know,
like,
let's get him.
So,
I get to the hospital,
I go into the room
and Bill is laying there
and he's kind of,
he's dazed.
But he's conscious
and he's like,
well,
don't hurt her.
I made her do it.
Your Bushwick Bill impression
is wrong.
It's so wrong.
So,
so,
so that was that,
you know,
I checked on him.
He was good.
He's going to survive.
He lost his eye,
but he's going to survive.
How did he make her shoot him?
He said that they were
arguing,
this is Bill's version,
that they were arguing
over
something
and
he was mad.
So,
he pulled out the gun
and he threatened to
throw the baby downstairs
and then
he,
he has the gun
and the,
his girlfriend is like,
they're tussling over the gun
and so Bill's like,
shoot me,
shoot me,
shoot me.
This is what he's saying
that he told her.
So,
the gun goes off,
boom,
Bill gets shot in the eye.
Now,
knowing Bill like I know Bill,
I know Bill didn't purposely
shoot himself in the eye,
have anyone shoot him in the eye.
Bill just likes
walking on the edge.
You see,
he'll walk that edge
like,
I do it,
I do it,
I do it,
I do it.
Oh shit,
he shot him.
Damn,
you know.
So,
that's what I believe happened.
But Bill say,
you know,
he made a shooter.
So,
get to the hospital
and
we go downstairs
and Cliff Blodgett
is there.
And at the time,
Cliff is the co-owner
of Rap-A-Lot Records.
And Cliff say,
you know,
everybody,
you know,
we have a little meeting
in the lobby
and your Bill's okay,
he's gonna survive.
That was our first thought,
you know what I'm saying?
Everybody just wanted him
to be okay.
He's safe,
he's survived.
Cliff,
Cliff's like,
back to business.
Cliff's like,
okay,
so what are we gonna do
about the album cover?
And I said,
well,
we can shoot it.
He alive.
So,
so Cliff is like,
how are we gonna do that?
I said,
I said,
man,
we just go up there
and shoot it.
He said,
well,
who's gonna ask him?
I said,
I'll ask him.
So,
I went up there
and I was like,
Bill.
Yeah.
I said,
man,
we,
we gonna shoot
this album cover,
man,
you down?
Bill was like,
I don't care.
He's like,
yeah.
He said,
yeah.
I went back down
and told him
it was a go.
Me and Brad
went upstairs.
Cliff went to his car,
got the camera.
We went,
we went upstairs
and back to the room.
The nurse
put Bill
on another gurney
and me and Brad
rode him down the hall.
So,
the nurse was in a,
nurse knew you were gonna,
there it is.
We rode him down the hall
and we didn't roll him far.
I mean that like,
maybe the room
was like right behind us
to the,
to the right.
Whose idea was it
for him to be holding
the phone?
I don't know,
but I know Chief
was there too,
our role manager.
So,
I don't know
if Chief told me,
you know,
grab the phone
or something.
I don't know.
Was the hat already on him?
No,
he put the hat on too.
So,
yeah,
I think that was
Chief idea
to put the props on
but he started
rolling down the hallway
and Cliff shot the picture
and that's how
you got the cover.
Wow.
One of my great regrets
is not havi
