33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. On the independence side, Snoop.

34
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 4: I only met Snoop one time and it was crazy

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: because he gave a lot of game just in a

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: very short period of time. One of the things that

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 4: he said was extremely insightful. He was saying that we're

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: talking about Beats BA Dre and you know everybody know that.

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: I think Apple bort it for eight hundred million dollars

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 4: something like that, And he was like, sometimes they'll buy

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 4: you to shelf you, yeah, meaning like Beasts by Dre

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 4: was lit. They had everybody they had all the rappers,

43
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 4: they had athletes there. You don't really see too much

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: about Beat by Dre now, so his Apple Apple, Apple

45
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: bought them, so he's his thing was like, as soon

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: as Apple buys Beats ba Dre, all you hear is

47
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: the iPod, the AirPods. So they essentially brought the competition

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: to kill the competition so they could push their products,

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: which is AirPods as opposed to Beats by Dre.

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: What have you heard that before?

51
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 4: Though, Well, that's why I'm tied in with the music

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: because like slim Thug is my guy, Like that's a

53
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 4: personal friend of Buston. And he was saying like how

54
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: he kind of regretted going to a label because it's

55
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 4: like the label, the allure of a label, like I

56
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 4: got a d I got my own label under a label.

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 4: But he was like, looking back on it, it was

58
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: better to just stay the independent route.

59
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: You think that that the music business has done that?

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 5: Like, of course that's what I was alluding to earlier.

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 5: I even take it a step further. Okay, then all right,

62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 5: see y'all starting with I'm trying to stay on business.

63
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: All right, So peep this, watch this, watch this.

64
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: Gonna blow your mind. It's funny because I saw part

65
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 5: of it here. What was the big the Virgin megastore.

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 5: That was when I knew they won. Watched this, so

67
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 5: they sucked up all of the independent artists. First, gave

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 5: us more money than we ever seen before. But what

69
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 5: that is to them is a tax right off, right,

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: because they make sure in most cases that we fail.

71
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 5: And then the other rappers who were like me, unlike

72
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. If if if let's say

73
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 5: Manny Fresh decided that he wanted to leave, right, I don't.

74
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Have that problem because I produce.

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 5: Also, if Baby decided to leave, then they don't have

76
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 5: to worry about that because I run my business. I

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 5: understand my business. If Wayne decided to leave, whether they

78
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 5: rapper left or Julie decided to leave, a BG decided to.

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 1: Leave, well I do the rappers. I do the rapping.

80
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 5: So what ended up happening is is after they soaked,

81
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 5: they gave all this money and we thought we had

82
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 5: all of this money. And then the first thing that

83
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 5: you all know, I didn't understand is what forty forty

84
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: five percent of it is gone just in taxi right,

85
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 5: then you're catching up for all of the borrowing that

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 5: you did and not having or getting your first house

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 5: and car, getting your mom straight what see.

88
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Long Green said that money be gone. So they did that.

89
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 2: That was easy.

90
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Didn't watch what they did.

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 5: I myself got a seventy thousand dollars check from Southwest Distribution.

92
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 5: We didn't need the majors we had and Zalees we

93
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 5: had Southwestern. We had distribution companies, real solid distribution companies.

94
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 5: They soaked them up and bought them out. Then guess

95
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 5: what they did. Black people learn how to get mom

96
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 5: and pop stores, even though a lot of them was

97
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 5: burning CDs in the back in bootlegging. But that was

98
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 5: we even learned how to We actually learned how to

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 5: press CDs the fact.

100
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: Then they sucked up the mom and pop stores.

101
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 5: I don't know if you'll remember when they would put

102
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 5: the Feds started going to the mom and pop stores

103
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 5: like they were really like they were selling drugs. Bro Right,

104
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 5: So then they sucked up the mom and pop stores.

105
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 5: Then after they sucked up the mom and pop stores,

106
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 5: then they went for the major stores.

107
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Bro. We at Virgin all we got to doing, say

108
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: the Virgin.

109
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 5: Mega store bro literally, and I know I know Jordan,

110
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: but I gotta say it, bro, Like the Virgin Mega

111
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 5: Store was one of the few times besides walking into

112
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 5: a strip club, where I think I slightly had.

113
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: An orgasm when I would walking to the store.

114
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 5: I mean just being a I mean just being a

115
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 5: b one thing that people don't understand about me.

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: Bro, is I really loved hip hop. I really loved it.

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: I really thought it was this real thing. Bro.

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 5: I right, like, Bro, and I peak what they did

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 5: to the game, Bro, and then we were okay with

120
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 5: streaming after that.

121
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: Bro. Like we it's just like, Bro, we are addicted to.

122
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 5: Following our pressors, no matter how they treat us, no

123
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 5: matter how bad they do us, we run behind them.

124
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: Bro. I just left Forbes, and.

125
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 5: What I was telling them over there at Forbes was like,

126
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 5: one of the sad things is that we get caught

127
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 5: in the trends, no matter how detrimental those trends may

128
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 5: beat us. Like I told them, there's nothing from a

129
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: business standpoint that you.

130
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: Can tell me that was positive about streaming.

131
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 5: And you all are owned your business acumen, bro, At least.

132
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: At y'all age. Bro, I don't know too many people.

133
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 5: Y'all ages beat y'all on that side, tell me one

134
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 5: positive thing about streaming you were getting. I just told

135
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 5: you I was getting ten dollars a CD, two fractions

136
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: of pennies to just allow somebody to play my music

137
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 5: over and over again on their site.

138
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: That's all streaming is.

139
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 5: They just play up, perpetually play your shit over and

140
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 5: over again, and then people tap into their site.

141
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: What's smart about that?

142
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: It's just psychological.

143
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: Even Swiss Swiss Beat had said something that was insightful

144
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 4: off so with you know, he went to Harvard like

145
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 4: that program that they have, and he was like, one

146
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: thing that he picked up is that in business, you

147
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: don't have to give somebody ownership, but you just make

148
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 4: them feel like they have ownership in their work.

149
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: So he equated that to labels.

150
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 4: He's like, so when they started giving everybody a label,

151
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 4: they felt empowered because now you're under a powered structure

152
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: that you psychologically want to be under anyway, and they

153
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: make you're still a worker, but you have a title

154
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: of a CEO. So now all everybody got a label,

155
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: but nobody has distribution, nobody has real ownership.

156
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: But that's a way to keep everybody happy and satisfied.

157
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 6: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

158
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,400
