Okay. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:45.200 First of all, first, here's another disclaimer. Our liais the 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:51.119 tg T liais all the guy who everybody felt comfortable having, 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:56.720 the con top conversationist, our therapist. He's here.

I'm gonna 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.000 let you guys do your thing, but I will chime in. Okay, no, no, 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.159 no that I won't say why did you break up? 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.799 Why did I break up. That's a big it's a loader, 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.920 it's it's a loader question. But it's not fair. So 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:20.960 let's go here. Let's go here. You walk into the 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:26.080 office of Atlantic. I'm sitting down. Deal is done, and 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:31.960 we're discussing percentages and that recess to us. I feel that. 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.320 But my market share the first time a nigga had 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:50.440 ever told me. But that's all that matters, nigga saying 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.040 I get more money, ya know, my market share, Um, 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:58.240 it's significantly more. They just left all that shit up 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:04.440 to you, two brothers. So I respect you, but it's 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.920 not even because it's not even. It can't be even. 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.240 We can't be even. Look at me, look a look 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:19.720 at you, look at you. And it was angry. It 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:25.960 was a tough conversation because because I didn't like it, okay, 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:33.760 I didn't like to see take go gulp ge because 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.559 I didn't even give neither one of them the heads 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.240 up that I was going to present my market share. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:46.520 But no, I didn't know when you when you around around, 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:55.440 I'm coming up and it was schematics. I gotta gauge, okay, 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.400 So no, I had to I have to. First of all, 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.320 I got to defend myselfles. We ain't gonna be out 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.279 here crazy all right, without even getting into no numbers, 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:07.480 because that ain't nobody's business. What the conversation was, because 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.720 I don't do shows that often, concerts that often. When 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.440 I finally do shows, rather I drop every year every 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.120 five six years, I'm able to demand a certain number, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.000 and so Tank was getting his number, g was getting 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.720 his number. Now, if music was the only thing, it 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.600 was the only thing I did, then all of our 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.920 numbers would probably look the same, because there's no such 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.160 thing as paying your bills and feeding your family. What 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.200 i't doing concerts when you're an artists. So everything about 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.600 me doing movies became an accidental blessing, right because I'm 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.120 doing these movies. I'm getting this money over here, so 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.400 I don't gotta do fifty sixty seventy shows a year 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.120 as far as concerts, so when I do my shows, 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.360 I'm able to get the number that I feel like 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:58.400 I deserved. And so the conversation was TGT januine, Tank tyres, 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.520 how do we split it three ways? And for me, 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.840 that just didn't work for me at the time. And 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.960 so as we either signed the deal or was about 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.640 decide the deal. I just had to put that on 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.520 the table and say this is where I'm at with it, 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:18.760 and that was it. Yeah, hold on, hold the pending. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.520 I just wanted to discussing. You won't custom your kids 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:34.200 are now okay. It was a tough conversation. He Sweat 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.199 had the same conversation with LS. No. No, no. It 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.360 was a tough conversation for two reasons. The first reason 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.880 was because we actually didn't have an agreement when it 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.760 came to that, and we just thought that since now 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.040 we're a group of new entity, it would all be 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.000 fair amongst all of us. Three way split, three way split. 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.959 But then the two to that is that you were right. 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:07.679 You were getting way more money per show to show up. 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.600 You were getting more money than both of us combined 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:16.960 to show up. So when Jaha came in another another number, 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.520 Sky guys, if you just move the percentage, it's just 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.720 light over here, and then you move yours right up 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.679 at the don't have anybody lands everybody else like this. 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:31.240 I was like, hell y, Genie was like feel mean, hey, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:36.120 it's ten years later. Ge still ain't over off the 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:42.199 Hennessey right now, and you talk about hot has a 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.000 Bowling Alley at his house. Yeah, I mean hot. So 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.400 so we end up you know what it is, what 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.880 it is whatever. We moved past that part. Here's the 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.920 other part where it got tricked, because I want to 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.360 keep getting into the tricky part because they've seen us 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.520 discussed it separately, but I've never seen us discuss it together. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:01.320 All Right, I'm the music man. I am the music man, Jake. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.959 We had a production company making music. That's what we did, right, Jack. 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:11.680 We make the music Grammy nominated number one records, That's 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:18.480 what we do. Ty Reese don't write nothing. Ty Reef 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.240 don't produce something. I think I just sent him on 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.480 the internet. Argue with somebody the other day about that. 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.480 But you know what you saying. The music man is 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:32.720 in the room. Okay, you just you just use your 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:37.360 market share to negotiate us an amazing deal. You did 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.719 your part. Now it's time for the music man to 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:46.079 do his part. I'm n genuine working with Timberlin. I'm Timberland, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.480 and you won't get out of my way. We're gonna 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.040 do a boot camp. We're gonna call a thousand producers, 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.360 a thousand rids, said Reese. That's not how that's not 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.360 how you make make magic instances. That's how I make magic. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.600 It's like the reason you don't make music all the time. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.520 But when I do make music, look what happens. Look 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:11.839 at what happened, I said, look market share lot, look 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:21.680 at market would I'm a filing complaint with the podcasting video. 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.560 You for the grab in front of me. It's over 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:29.880 and I remember you too. And we proceed to make 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:34.679 this album with a boot camp with individual I mean 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.720 sessions just all over the place. And you could tell 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.120 by our text messages if we ever pulled up that 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.839 text chain from years ago. Don't forget forget the talent. 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:52.719 There's a lot. There was violence within us, right, but 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.679 what you would send to the label was equally as violent. Yes, 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.199 in the morning, at four in the morning, I was 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:08.320 just thinking the start of the I was just thinking 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.839 in the subject box, you all are not going to 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:17.160 why are you so difficult? Man? Hey man, listen, I 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.400 have to just say, guys, truth be told. We got 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.200 one shot at this thing, man, We got one shot 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.800 at this thing. And I'm gonna tell y'all, man, the 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.719 old mean was in this place of just being in 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.800 disbelief about everything that had to do with anything. It 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.400 doesn't matter what level people is on. I couldn't believe 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.120 anything about anything that was going on in my life 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:45.760 and my career, and so I'll never forget. Somebody said 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:51.080 there's humility and there's being too humble, and I said, 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.280 what does that mean? They said, sometimes you could be 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:57.600 so humble where you disappear in the room, you disappear, 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:02.640 in the deals, you disappear, and negotiating what you really deserve. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:08.160 Don't be so grateful and so humble that this opportunity 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.599 present itself that you don't do whatever you got to 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.160 do to make sure that business wise, you don't take 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:18.520 care of mesness. So once I shifted out of superhumility 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.440 south Central La, grateful, can't believe that anything is happening 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.120 beyond the cod commercial deal number one, with the Tyrese 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.360 album to deal number two. This whole time, I'm just 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.679 like yo, man, whatever y'all have in mind for me, 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.880 it's all good. No, no, no, no, don't ask for 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.199 all that, man, We're good with this. Everything about my 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.760 thinking changed, and the moment that my thinking changed about 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.199 me moving as a man that knows its value is 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.199 self worth. And I'm not going to settle for whatever 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:51.080 they're giving or whatever they're offering, without having the audacity 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.959 to either demand or bottom line and say this is 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.760 where we need to be. And so obviously when you 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.640 move that way, people are gonna not you. I'm not 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.040 saying this to eat you or g but people are 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.000 going to project what they believe and think you deserve 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.240 off onto you. And that's where the conflict is. So 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.880 at the end of the day, as I pull up 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:17.000 to your house and I'm seeing R and B Money podcast, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.680 the court is there, the pool wife, he was right there. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.280 I waved out a she cooking. You deserve this thing. 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.040 You deserve this. I am in the jay's crib yet, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.000 but you deserve this. And if you had settled for 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.840 what they were willing to give, then we be in 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.480 a very different situation. And that's my life because I 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.720 am overly aggressive about business, about deal terms, about what 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.200 I feel like I deserve, and you got to demand it. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.000 And then when it's time to compromise because something is 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.600 going to implode, you got to also watch the algorithm 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.160 of deal making and negotiating and make sure that you 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.960 end up with nothing because you allow it to get 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.880 nasty pertaining to negotiating. So yeah, the reason I'm worth 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.200 what I'm worth and I have what I have is 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:07.240 because I decided to stay humbled, meaning grateful, but don't 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.240 be humble enough to where you disappear in the deals 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.000 that you're doing. And that's the difference. Well, you definitely 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:19.640 didn't disappear. But there's a lot of people that's done movies. 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.880 They don't make what I make per movie. It's a 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.280 lot of people doing shows of concerts. They don't make 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.240 what I make pers cun There's a lot of people 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.800 doing walkthroughs and hosted doing whatever they're doing, but they'll 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.560 take pretty much whatever is offered. And I got to 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.560 shout out my big Brovevin Diesel and and I haven't 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.720 made it to the twenty million dollars club yet. I'm 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.640 on my way. But I said to then around the 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.880 time we first met, when I did Fast five, Literally, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:50.200 I said, yo, man, how do you get into the 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.960 twenty million dollars club? Like, how there's only a few 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.760 black people in this town that makes twenty million dollars 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.720 a movie. How do you get into the movie to 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.960 the club. He says, it's funny you should say that 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.200 tie boogies. What do he called me? He said, Well, 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.640 I got here from saying no more often than I 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:18.720 say yes. My head fell off his shoulders, blue bloop 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.880 down the mountain, and I'm saying wow, he said, Yeah. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:27.320 The package is expensive, he said, I don't always have 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.520 to have the movie studio to pay for my private 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.080 plane when I travel places. But the day that anybody 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.480 in the industry know that I was willing to fly commercial, 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:40.240 fucking my bag up. I've created a standard for myself, 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.480 and this is what it has to be, even if 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.640 I don't want a private plane. That's what everybody in 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.600 the game is used to me traveling on, because that's 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.760 that is the perceptions of my value that I've created 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:57.800 for myself. So I can't go backwards. Sometimes I gotta 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.160 wait an extra day and a half for a I've 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.240 playing to show up when I could have easily said 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.760 I'm ready to go now and just go fly commercial. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.440 But it's going to change the perception. Oh he's willing 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:13.920 to fly commercial. M he's willing to accept it. Spread work. 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.360 Oh absolutely got him on a commercial plane. We flew. 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.080 I mean it was like ten dollars. I've put him 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:19.720 on the plane you don't have to do global expres 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.720 you know, so you create the standard, and that's the 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.960 whole thing. You have to go into every situation and know, 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.879 this is who I am, this is what my value is, 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:34.200 and this is what I believe I deserve. And and 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.320 then in the end when the conflict of yo, you're 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.560 doing too much, you're going too far. But then both 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:46.600 G and Tank became ultimately the beneficiaries of that bottom line. 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.960 For those moments that I had them, then we all 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.720 able to pop champagne and have a good time, even 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.200 though I don't drink. I said thank you, thank you, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.200 thank you for the photo. Man, it wasn't always a 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:07.639 good time it. Okay, what do you mean before you 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:12.840 say that? Here's what I love. I love that you have. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.639 I love that you have a bottom line. Yes, I 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:22.800 love that and your self worth. It's on. You cannot 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:30.080 you cannot, you cannot move my needle. Impossible. But I'm 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.240 not the only one to TG right what I'm saying. No, no, no, okay. 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.800 I think there comes a time where because for me, 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:43.200 you're my friend, and so a bottom line in business 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:51.560 starts to feel like you're not just negotiating against me, 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:56.120 but trying to make sure you're standing above me. That's 0:18:56.160 --> 0:19:00.359 how it felt. That's how it felt. And we've had discussions, bologize, 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.320 you know what I'm saying that we've had discussions, you know, 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:08.680 and and understanding each other. But that's for me where 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:13.280 the feelings got weird because I'm like, this is my 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.359 this's my friend, and he's trying to make sure or 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.960 it felt like he's trying to make sure that Tyres 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:26.680 is right here. His name is already first in the group. 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:33.320 Nobody knew that you knew that TGT could have been 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:43.000 any t who walks out on stagebirth. I don't know. 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.399 I know who used to walk out on stagebirth. I 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:56.880 don't remember who walked down on stage Jake Jo Jake, 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:02.480 get him God. The business side of it, okay, which 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.680 obviously for me was you got And I've said this 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.280 to both of you before. It was very much an 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:14.120 internship for me coming from because at this point I'm 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.360 not managing to tank it either, so I'm coming from 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.840 the creative side. But then I'm coming from the business 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.800 world because I you know, I got some deals for people, 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.359 and I had done consulting in that type of thing, 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.200 but just not like full management, especially at you guys' level. 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:35.320 So I was kind of thrown into it. What you 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:41.160 all know, and for me, I didn't. I never asked 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.960 for money because I didn't feel like I should be 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.000 paid for what I was doing just yet this was 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.360 me paying in my own mind, paying my own dudes, 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.800 and because I was able to write the records with 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.040 it for you what y'all and for y'all for the 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:55.919 project and be a part of that. So I'm like, Nan, 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:57.760 I'm a part of it, and I'm going to learn. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.680 And then it started to be like, shit, okay, these 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.240 are these are three of my friends individually, because I 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:08.399 had known all three of you guys individually, I had 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:12.800 worked with all y'all individually and together. Now and me 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:20.320 watching the friendships be affected by the business, it was 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.920 tough for me at times because I'm like fuck man 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:26.640 like and and Tank will tell you like, I'm I've 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.080 always been one of those people. You know this too, though. 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.760 I don't like for people that I'm cool with to 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.120 have issues with each other. Yeah, because I never want 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.320 to be in a room where someone is speaking on 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:39.840 somebody I fuck with, because I'm going to be like, 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:43.040 hey man, yeah, nah, I feel like that called that man. 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:49.000 But that's that's tough at times though, you know what 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.000 I'm saying that that's tough at times because I'm like, 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.720 I hear all, y'all, but shit, can y'all hear all y'all? 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.840 You know what I mean? Like I really wanted that. 0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:00.960 I wanted you guys to come together even though yeah, 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.600 y'all in the group and we traveling together, but y'all 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.639 still wasn't together until y'all have moments where y'all just 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.240 had to all get on somebody. Then it was like 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.639 we together now. But other than that, this guy here, 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:16.600 this got this got are but I's expected I have 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:21.560 to chime man to say, if you can wrap it 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:26.240 all up, the overall experience of TGT was three individual 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:30.840 grown men, fathers. Man had have been successful in their 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:36.399 own right their whole life, their whole career. Genuine has 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.280 sold the most records of all three of us. Genuine 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:41.560 has got more number ones and all. They don't care 0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:44.359 if they twenty thirty years, don't matter. They hits records 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.960 have been sold. Actually doesn't have one of them. He 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:56.479 doesn't have no not anymore. So this shit I had 0:22:56.520 --> 0:23:09.919 to do it. You know who's got the most number one? Okay, 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.960 so so okay, yeah, thanks God the most number one. 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.080 But make sure sorry that's I had to have to 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:20.000 update my database. Uh So, trying to get three grown 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:23.000 men who's been flying and moving and operating and the 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:25.760 function and have been successful in their own right doing 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.840 it the way they do it and it's producing results. 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:32.200 To try and put all three of us in one 0:23:34.080 --> 0:23:38.560 that in itself is a recipe for disaster. Because if 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:45.240 we were all singing, no, no, if we're all singing, yeah, 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:50.639 if we're if we're all singing and we all are 0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.200 in a group and this is our first time you know, 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:57.320 doing it, then that's cool. But to be this successful 0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:00.560 in our own right individually and then wait, this late 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:02.360 in the game for all three of us to link 0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:06.040 up and do it together. I don't wear that. I 0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:09.000 don't go about that like that. I don't negotiate like that. 0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:12.080 I'm not agreeing to that. I don't I go about 0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:14.239 making my album my way. You go about making your 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:17.000 albums your way. G does it his way. So that 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:20.320 in itself is a recipe for disaster. Taking three grown 0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:24.440 alpha men and saying let's all whole hands together and 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:29.000 make believe we are you know anything that's that's three way. 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:33.600 So it happened with LSG. You know. Um, I was 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:37.480 just with Gerald Leaverte's daughter in Atlanta and heard so 0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:39.639 many stories about all of the stuff that they were 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.199 dealing with with the egos and personality because they were 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.920 all successful just like us. So I think, you know, yeah, 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:48.080 there's more stories to be told, but I think in 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:52.320 general none of us should actually be surprised at any 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:55.560 of the conflicts or moments of discomfort that took place 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:59.320 because we're all used to doing our own thing and 0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.080 then now you're putting a square in a circle trying 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.280 to make it fit. And I'm just still proud of 0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:09.119 the ultimate outcome. I'm still proud of what we accomplished. 0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:13.399 You can't skip one song on this album, and we 0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:16.880 robbed ourselves of the opportunity to tour and really maximize 0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:19.600 what it is. But I got some great news for you, 0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.560 Tank and Jay. I got some great news to tell 0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.679 y'all right now. And I want to move on TGT 0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:27.480 because I don't want to do this ship for another 0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:33.960 thirty minutes. Clearly, the pre interview came with you asked 0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:40.000 him about this, and you ask, I'm just got some 0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:44.480 great news. Atlantic Records has officially agreed to sign TGT 0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:51.359 for a second album. Yeah, congratulations, and you're mad at me. 0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:56.359 You're mad at me. You're welcome, you're mad at me. 0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:00.440 He did he didn't make congratulations. He meant well, I'm 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.480 just gonna say this. Wait like y'all, don't y'all, don't 0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:09.879 name is not genuine. And if you can't make edit 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:14.119 that out of edit. See how they responded to the 0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:17.000 good news. That's crazy. No, no, no, no, no, pull 0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:21.960 that shit off the wall. Right skips skip steps? What 0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:25.920 did I skip? Genuine? I'm not genuine. You can't have 0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:29.960 this conversation if that man is not here? Brother, Okay, 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.000 so what does that mean? What did I do wrong? 0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:36.520 What did I do wrong? Jake Valentine, You didn't call 0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:40.040 g and have that conversation. I didn't call Tank either, 0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:43.399 but takes here. But but are you happy or no? 0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:48.600 The fuck is going on? I feel see this is 0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:55.359 why we broke up already because I'm out of here. Listen, 0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:58.399 you see what I'm saying. I can't do shit. You 0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.720 skip the step me and you me and you have 0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:05.880 been me and you have been back in strade again. Wow. 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:11.119 Recently we've been back in stride again. It's weirdly just happened. 0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:20.159 We've been having these cheers and Clapton, I got, I 0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:24.040 got some ship playing out.
