That's when we came with the We Can't Be Stopped album. That album cover. Yeah. Jesus Christ. When you 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. That is a classic album cover. I mean. We 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 was 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. Even after he 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 Cardball 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 that was that, you know, I checked on him. He was good. He's going to survive. He lost his eye. He's going to survive. How did he make or 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 has the gun and 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 now. Now, knowing Bill like I know Bill, I know Bill didn't purposely shoot himself in the have anyone shoot him. And Bill just likes walking on the edge. You see, he walked that edge like, I do it. I do it. I do it. Oh, shit. 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 bills okay, you're gonna survive. That was our first thought. You know what I'm saying? Everybody just wanted him to be okay. He's safe. He survived. Cliff say, back to business. Cliff like, okay, so what are we gonna do about the album cover? And I say, well, we can shoot it. He alive. So Cliff is like, how do we gonna do that? I say, man, we just go up there and shoot it. He say, well, who's gonna ask him? I say, I'll ask him. So I went up there and I was like, Bill. I say, man, 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 upstairs and back to the room. The nurse put Bill on another gurney and me and Brad rolled him down the hall. So the nurse was in a, nurse knew you. There it is. We rolled him down the hall and we didn't roll him far. I mean, like maybe the room was like right behind us 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. I rolled manager. So I don't know if Chief told me, you know, rather phone or something. I don't know, but 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. That's how you got to cover. Wow. One of my great regrets is not having him on the podcast. He was reached. They reached out. Whoever was representing him reached out and I had a, you know, I, my shit gets, I book it myself. I do it on my phone. So I have months in advance. I'm trying to coordinate shit and it took a couple of weeks for me to find a date and I got a hold of them again. But then he was sick. He was real sick. He was in the hospital and they said he couldn't travel anymore. And then shortly after he died. Yeah, it, it happened fast. Like once he started, once he made the announcement, his help was it pancreatic cancer really fast. I think. What was it? Yeah, I think it was one of those ones. Yeah, it was. It was a pancreatic. That's one of those ones. It gets you quick. Yeah. That's that's a bummer. Episodes of the Joe Rogan experience are now free on Spotify. That's right. They're free from September 1st to December 1st.
