- Day of the event, all the cars,
it's probably 200 cars, all types of insane:
Bugattis, McLarens, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Corvettes.
- I got a bunch of looks.
I don't get that many looks in my car,
but I got a bunch that looks in that Ferrari.
They was like, "Oh, look at him with that car."
So I'm like, "All right, yeah. I like this vibe.
I think I got to get one of these."
- Ooh, that drink made you put clothes
on that's named after fish.
You'd be like, "Boy, let me get boy out here
with that salmon sweater, boy!"

My best big toy adventure wasn't really a big toy venture.
It was the fact that I had just recently learned how
to ride a motorcycle, and this was some years ago,
it was like a Yamaha 110.
Basically, one gear up from a moped.
But, the fact that I was in Jamaica
and I could rent and they didn't even check.
It was a park. They didn't check for no license.
They was like, "You want it?" I was like, "Yeah, I want it."
They said, "You got the money?" Whatever, their accident is.
If you ever get a chance to go to Montego Bay,
just look for a dude named Trevor.
And the reason why I say that,
he ain't going to ask you for your driver's license,
no social security number.
Look for Trevor and say, "You done know."
I got the money. I got on that joint.
And the, (imitates Yamaha) I was in Montego Bay.
And for me to have the independence to just
and I was just (imitates Yamaha) hip,
hollerin' at chicks or whatever.
To be able to explore Montego Bay
not with a tour or a group of people,
to be independent on what I considered
to be my own motorcycle that was kind of a dope one.
Wasn't the big, I'm not an extravagant type of person,
but that was a big boy moment
on what I considered a big boy island
with a big boy toys and a Yamaha 110.
So what? Hells Angels kiss my ass!
I had fun!
- My best big toy adventure was renting a Ferrari,
I would say last year for my birthday in Vegas.
I was very excited. I'd never drive a Ferrari before.
That was my first time ever driving as Ferrari.
So, I said, "You know what? I'm going to rent one.
I don't own one. I want to own one soon."
And I had a great time.
I rented a white one and I drove all around
the whole Vegas with the top down.
I didn't have anywhere to go.
I was just driving just to be driving.
For three days I was out there doing a residency
with Janet and I said, "Listen, this is going to be the day.
My birthday, I'm goin', these two days off,
I'm gonna rent me a Ferrari and I'm going to drive around."
That was the first time and I had a ball.
I'm very into cars. I love exotic cars.
And that's one of my favorite cars ever is a Ferrari.
And for me to have that and travel around,
it was a blessing.
But, also, I was having issues with finding how
to turn the radio on.
It's all digital.
So, I had a major issue because I needed some music.
I would say the Ferrari was super fast.
I actually got on the highway and probably did probably 120.
I mean, just to be in there,
I felt like I was super rich at that time.
"All right, I'm in a Ferrari. I'm doing it.
I done made it." I will say people was looking at me.
I got a bunch of looks.
I don't get that many looks in my car.
But, I got a bunch of looks in that Ferrari.
They're like, "Oh, look at him with that car."
So, I'm like, "All right, yeah, I like this vibe."
I gotta get one of these!
Cherry red interior, the sound system was nice.
It had about 21 inch rims on it.
It was very nice and I had a ball.
I had my son with me and we was out.
- It's kind of hard to imagine in the United States.
Basically, it's a car rally.
And over a week time, you drive 3000 miles,
i.e. Gumball 3000.
Each day you drive, probably about four to 500 miles.
You have a lunch break and basically all the cars
are parked next to each other.
And now all these cars are super cars.
They all have a laminated numbers
and all types of tags on them.
So, they look like racing cars.
Kind of how racing cars and NASCAR cars look like.
It's almost like a moving museum.
So, I've done it a few years. So, let's say the first year.
It started off in Miami and it ended in Ibiza.
Now you're probably thinking,
how do you get the cars to Ibiza?
That's the insane part!
But then, day of the event, all the cars,
it's probably 200 cars.
All types of insane:
Bugattis, McLarens, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Corvettes.
So, then you line up at the start.
Just imagine 200 crazy cars right there on Ocean Ave.
And we take off from there.
Daytona from there we go to Atlanta.
Next day, we went to New York.
Then they take your car, they put it on a plane.
We land in Edinburgh, Scotland.
We get to London and just people are just drinking
and havin' a time and then partying.
I'm talking about partyin', partyin', partyin'.
The next day, we leave for Paris. We get on the road.
We go to Barcelona.
So, then we drive from Barcelona and we go to this port town
of Spain and we get on a ferry to Ibiza.
I DJed my first party in Ibiza that day.
Day party at the pool, we had so much fun.
Tinie Tempah perform, Bun B performed,
Danger Mouse DJed again.
It was crazy!
It was definitely one of my best international experiences.

- Maybe six years ago,
I was doing some shows at Richmond, Virginia.
I'm driving down the street and I look on this lawn
and I saw the exact same Cadillac
that my dad wanted to get me: 1985 black Eldorado Cadillac.
I did not care how much that car cost.
It was going to be bought on site.
I pulled up on it. It was in mint condition.
It had 70,000 original miles.
It's smelled like high school to me.
It looked like I could get it poppin' in that seat.
And when I say, get it poppin',
I'm talking about them seats that scoot back
and you can lay one in the front
and you can lay a chick down in the back.
I bought that Cadillac and the first thing I did was
put a black ice air freshener on it.
And that was a memory and a throwback purchase
that I'll never forget and I still got
that Cadillac to this day.
I drive a Mercedes and I have that Cadillac.
But, whenever I drive down the street
with that 1985 Cadillac, bro,
all them old dudes be like, "Bro, I see you boy.
Don't hurt 'em out there!"
I know one thing, that car, when you get in that car,
people ask you for money.
You'd be like, "Man, if I had your hand,
I'd throw mine in."
"Man, I can't win for losing."
You get them old people joint in that 198s.
Oh, that joint make you put clothes on
that's named after fish!
You'd be like, "Boy, let me get,
go out here with that salmon sweater, bro,
with them Kool-Aid purples!"
That's when you mix some food and beverages
when you drive a 1985 Cadillac.
And guess who own one? Me, (beep)!
- A throwback things I like that grabbed in traveling days.
I would say one is some dope classic sneakers.
Like I say, once again, I'm a sneaker head.
So, I have gotten the original ones being over in Japan.
The original ones, not the remakes, but the originals.
And they had them there.
The only thing about it,
when I bought the sneakers, they crumbled.
So, I can't wear 'em,
but I have them on my shelf in my house.
And I can say, "Hey, look,
these Jordans right here came out in 1984
and these are the ones that Jordan wore."
And for me to purchase that.
I always wanted to purchase a pair that he,
these not the actual ones that he wore,
but they are the Jordans from that year '84.
And to have them in the house, they all crumbled up.
But, just to have them, that was a major throwback
that I was so excited!
Like, "Damn, I really got them in here!"
- Something I always wanted to have as a kid was one
of those old school Acura Legends.
Now I grew up in New York and we used
to see all the fly people
with the Acura Legends back in the day.
It was my favorite car.
And so now fast forward to me being an adult.
I went on eBay and I started looking at cars
and I was just like, "I've always wanted an Accra Legend,
a '92, '93 Acura Legend."
So, I just started looking.
I find one and it's so clean.
And I'm just looking at this car, like, "This is amazing!"
So, I ended up buying the car,
bidding on it on eBay that day.
At the time I was DJin' clubs six days a week.
Everybody knew I was making money
and I would pull up in this '94 Acura Legend
and people would be like, "Yo".
And I'd say, one of my friends was like,
"Yo, we know you got money. Why don't you get another car?"
And I was like, "Yo, I love this car!
This is my, this is my car!"
