I'm talking affirmatively, you have come 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:19.120 along ways in your development as an artist. Show you 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.080 know you put the work in. You put a lot 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.080 of work in. Yeah, I used to be mad at 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.080 my path back in the day, but I appreciate it now, 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.240 you know what I'm saying. People who come out real 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.959 hard in the beginning, they fall real fast too, you know. 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.360 So yeah, mine, I had to at the climb the 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.160 whole time, you know what I'm saying. But we're up now. 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.679 Is there still any doubt? But from others, no, I 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.319 know you never had any doubts. They believe now, I 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:53.040 wouldn't say it was ever doubt. It was. I think, Um, 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:57.840 for my generation, it was always a weird error we 0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.440 were in. You know what I'm saying. We were right 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.440 after you know, the Slim and Row and you know 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.400 what I'm saying. And you know, my generation is you 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:12.320 know Propane Kirk, o'bang, just Brittany Dobies. You know, I 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:18.440 generation was more of the Internet streaming Houston generation. And 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.520 with us, you know, we didn't have all the major 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.960 deals and everything that everybody had before us, you know, 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.920 but not saying that that made that generation. You know, 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.760 Houston to me always been underground city, you know what 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.560 I'm saying. But when you take that underground aspect away, 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.519 the DJ screws the you know, Michael wattson Run. See, 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.600 they still entities, but it wasn't like how the underground 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.440 scene was, you know, with the mixtapes. You know, we 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.919 had to come out through the Internet and streaming and 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.000 Twitter and you know stuff like that. You know. So 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:56.880 my generation, it was people didn't consider it traditional Houston music, 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.639 you know what I'm saying. So you know with me, 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.560 you know, I don't sip serve, I don't do drugs, 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:06.040 you know, so in a city where everything slow, I 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.640 was the only motherfucker with energy, you know what I'm saying. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.320 My music was, you know what I'm saying. So a 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.840 lot of people, you know, they wouldn't consider what I 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.680 did Houston music, you know. But you look at how 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.840 everything sounds today from the city. Everything has energy down. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:26.720 Everything's club you know, club based from Houston down. So 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:31.680 I could say I did that. I did that is 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.680 what it is. Yeah, you know what you know, to 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:41.440 your point, after Slim and and and Paul Wall and 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.240 everybody you know did that thing, you know, I mean, 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:48.000 your ass and Mike Jones and all of that. It 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.720 did seem like things kind of kind of like came 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.600 to a halt almost, and so it took a long time, 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:59.160 like you know, really like get that thing, get that 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.960 thing back. I know, Travis Scott came sometime later, but 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.920 you know, it was pretty much seemed like it really 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.720 wasn't any any real activity except for what you and 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.480 maybe our DJ Chose was doing. Yeah, she had a 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.120 little bit buzz going on. Krit co'bain was doing this thing. 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:21.000 But as far as consistently hearing stuff out there, uh, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.480 you were the guy that I heard, you know. And 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.800 of course zero always putting out, but zero is another error, 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:33.960 but zero is all errors. But you know, shout out 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:39.120 the man. Yeah, but now for a show man, um consistency. 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.040 That's always been my thing. You know what I'm saying, 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:45.840 Um um no. Shout out to people like JQ No. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.039 Nine seventy nine. You know he always helped me, you 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.960 know what I'm saying through the radio. You know what 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.480 I'm sating, helping me pick my singles and making sure 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.520 that they were radio friendly and club you know what 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.799 I'm saying, even to this day, you know what I'm saying, 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.200 So yeah, man, I'm check people all the time. You 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.680 can't compete with the rapper to make his own beats. Man, shit, 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.560 I'm not gonna fall off ever. Huh yeah, let's talk 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.280 about that, man. What's what what is the process like 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.400 to be a rapper and a producer. I've never known 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.800 that process. I've only known one side and the rapping side. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.520 But what's that process like? And how do you mentally switch? 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.000 You know, Before I get into that, I'll tell you 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.120 the downside of it. The downside of its. People never 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.800 truly respect you as a rapper. When people bring that 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.240 Houston rapper conversation up, they always leave me out when 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.440 I've had most more success than most of them, plaques 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.160 all that, you know what I'm saying. But people are 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.120 never looking at me as a rapper because like probably 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.960 the club music and you know how play on songs 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.480 a lot. But when you are our producers, well, people 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.920 never put doctors ra in their category. Never really put 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.160 Kanye in that category. Even David Banner is another one, 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.200 Juicy Jay, my favorite rapper, they don't put him in 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.839 that category. You know, so you know, but for the 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:14.800 most part, to answer your question, you know, it's one 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.320 of those things where you hear music so much that 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.680 you know, it's kind of like a Prince and Michael 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.480 Jackson thing. Like Michael Jackson. People love Michael Jackson for 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.600 everything he did, and Michael Jackson my favorite too. But Prince. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.120 You could put Prince in that studio by himself and 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:37.160 he's gonna come out with that hit by hisself. He 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.919 made the music, everything, sung it, and everything. You know. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.880 So for the most part, I think artists like me 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.480 who make the beats the music too. You just you 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.920 hear it from his from the beginning to the end. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.280 You know, you don't have to look for beat or 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.760 you know, sometimes I had a beat already and then 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.120 the idea come from that. Or sometimes I had an 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.359 idea already from being on a road or something, and 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.880 I'll make the beat for the idea I have. Either 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.000 way it go, it's gonna be a bad motherfucking about 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:12.160 thirty minutes to beat in the in the rap. Yeah, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.680 not to beat in the rap. You can't do the 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.360 beat beat in the rap in thirty minutes. Well you 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:20.280 can it, But to me, they were creating parts easy. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.920 It's the mixing, Like I'm mixing mask style my music too, 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.440 So that's that's what take a week. You did a batting. 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:30.120 You you're saying that you have the propencity to make 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.560 the beat and the rap and within thirty minutes. Yeah, 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.000 the beat is the easy part. I can make a 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:42.440 beat in five minutes. It'll be hard, Yeah, five minutes 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.800 and then wants to beat playing in the loop. The 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.160 idea come to you? The hook? You know, you lay 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.760 that hook down real quick. And you know a club song, 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.720 you don't need more than eight bars in your verse. 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.000 So you know, I don't write that bull shit, I'll 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.800 be saying. So you're going there in freestyle four bars 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:05.080 and then stop and think she do that three more times? Shit, 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:09.640 the song done. I got a theory why you don't 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:14.120 get your respect for being a rapper? Probably I know 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.320 where you're going with that. I know where you're going 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.960 with let me see if you know see if you 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.600 get the lyricism. You know it's intricate and people you 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.280 know it feels you should write it, and it takes 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.520 time a thought process because I can really fucking rap. 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.760 Two people don't understand, like that's what I'm cut from. 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.480 I'm cut from No Lloyd Banks and push the t 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.040 and Joe Button, you know, like the O two is 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.880 show three ish. That's why you know when switchoutse was 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.120 like right before they got their deal, every I was 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.680 talking about Mike Jones. I mean I was on Magno Magnificent, 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.640 you know what I'm saying. That's who I was bumping 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.560 a Switchouts, you know. But what's your theory? Well, I 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.439 you know, I appreciate I appreciate you, you know, giving 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:01.559 me credit for thinking but being a thinker. But it 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.120 ain't that deep. I think the reason why you don't 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.920 get your respect as a rapper is because your name 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.800 is big King. Well, yeah, you get people think of 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.680 you as a producer, so you're making beats. So maybe 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:18.959 you change your name to rap king. I don't want 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.800 to smoke with that, and you'll get your get you 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.480 get your credit as a rapper, you know, and then 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.560 and then you know, at the end of the day, 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.640 that's maybe that's maybe that's the name of one of 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:33.040 your new albums or sucking be King rap King. The 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:34.560 end of the day, man, I don't give a fuck 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.840 either with it, did I don't? Juicy J is my 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.560 idol and mentor. I always wanted to be just like him. 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.120 You know what ship going on? My curd. You don't 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.160 make beats, Yeah you do. He did, made it all 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.680 all that three six maia. Shit, him and DJ Paul 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:54.760 were making the beats today. Yeah yeah, no, Dj Paul 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.720 was doing all the ju ja they would make. They 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.439 were doing it together. Oh yeah. Juicy J's j A 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.200 a producer. You know. So a lot of those um 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:09.679 those big heads, all right, more respect more more more respectful. Man, 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.120 I ain't know. I already have respect from, but more respect. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:16.960 You know. It's crazy, Like I say, I see what 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.640 they don't give him, so I can't expect for them 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.560 to give it to me. They just said a top 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:27.920 fifty rappers lists. Mafia was nowhere on that list when 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:32.040 the game sounds like them two days even Project Pat 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.040 Winton on that, you know what I'm saying. So I 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.880 was just like, you know, shit, I wasn't on the list, man, 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.560 I wrote, listen bro I wrote most of the GB music. 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.480 But you know it's hold on, hold on, This is 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:48.160 what I'm saying. Ghetto Boys is in most people's top five, ten, twenty, 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.240 whatever you want to call it. If I wrote most 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.720 of the music, you know, if I wrote most of 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:59.079 the songs the majority of the music. I gotta be somewhere. 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.320 I got you somewhere, some kind of list or something 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.960 in a fucked up ass way. You probably not don't 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.240 like this, just like how pimp see what's on there? 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.400 But Bun was on there, So we look at it like, 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.240 all right, pimp, see on there's Bun on there. If 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.760 you see Faith on there, you're like, all right, let's 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.400 get a boy. That's the whole conglomerate. That's how I 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.160 looked at it. They couldn't put groups on there. Let 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.079 me get you some goddamn glass. I need my goddamn credit, man, 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:28.559 I need because we started busting up publishing checks on guard. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.240 You know what I'm saying, hey, man, that publish in check. 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:38.559 That that that public check. Brad Jordan, my publishers check 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.800 s W Dennis here c B Jordan. You did what 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:46.000 I'm saying? Yeah, I need mine, man. You know it 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.200 comes with it. Bro. We just gotta dying ship. That 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.240 should be lame. You know what I'm saying.

To me, I'm like, 0:17:54.560 --> 0:18:00.360 I've been getting this money, been having big houses, been 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.200 performing at these radio events all around the country, these 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.440 stadium I've been doing this. It's just people didn't put 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.440 the face with the music. I say, when the Cucumbers ship. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.040 When I came up with that, that started helping my 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.199 likeness and people started knowing what I looked like.

And you know, 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.840 when I got popping popping, a lot of those new fans, 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.760 they went to discovering all the older music and they 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.879 put it back on TikTok today and a lot of 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.760 these older songs from my catalog they're turning up today 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.159 and I'm looking at the Spotify numbers and they're going up. 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.800 I'm just like, man, this shit's old as fuck. These 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.200 kids were probably seven years old when these songs first 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.880 came out. Now they twenty years old and it's new 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.080 to them. So it is what it is. When you 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.719 think it's fair to say, is it a fair assessment 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:02.399 to say that you're Mary Formula? Your main ingredient is 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:07.959 to keep it simple? Yeah, simplicity sales. Yeah. I learned that, um, 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.040 and that was that wasn't an easy transition either, because 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:18.000 where I come from, I called myself a young old nigga. 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.720 I'm thirty eight years old, you know, so I know 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.800 all about Ghetto Boys CATALOGU. I know about Willie Dee's catalog, 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:29.440 but I also know about Kake Carbon out of Memphis 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:34.440 right now, I know about the Youngest Motherfucker's right now, 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.119 and I know about the ogs. So it's like the 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:43.840 shit I'm cut from. I know what real music is, 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:47.520 you know what I'm saying. So when I'm making beats, 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.480 I want to pack it full of shit, let people 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.400 know that I'm just that nigga. And I had to 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:56.399 learn that people don't give a fuck. Make what's appeas 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.040 into the ear and where people can listen to and 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:03.480 feel good, and it hits the brain quickly, you know 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:07.720 what I'm saying. So I started making these simple ass beats. Hey, 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:09.760 I just start taking all the sounds out and just 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:13.040 putting drums in that mother's and that's then leave you 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.320 number of drums.

So with the beats I had, 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:28.119 that wasn't an easy transition. And I'm a lyrical person. 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:30.760 I can really rap if I want to, but I 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.200 had to learn that bitches don't want to learn triggerometry 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.520 in the club. Just make a simple beat that a 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.040 drunk bitch you like and put a hook on it, 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.399 that a drunk bitch you like, and you're gonna win 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.959 every summer.

I'm still cheap, my nigga, Like, 0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:15.680 I still go to the club. I hate paying a park. 0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:19.280 That's my pet pee. I hate giving you. I hate 0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:21.960 I feel like I'm paying to cut my car off. Man, 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:23.560 let's just hate my hand in a park, you know. 0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:25.400 So I go to Valet, I give them what they 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.880 fifty dollars whatever, and go to the club. Come back 0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:30.120 and I'm like, man, they didn't let me in, man, 0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:33.000 dress code. Man, so I can get a refund back. Man, 0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:37.359 I just hate paying the park. Yeah, but why do 0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:40.560 you think they get away with that? Dude? Hey man, 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:43.240 everybody got to eat. I respect it, you respect it. 0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:45.760 It's just I'm a hustler too, So I feel like 0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.120 you trying to charge me to cut my car off. 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:50.760 You know what I don't like. I don't like man. 0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:54.920 I don't like the fact that they do it two 0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:58.800 black people, Like. I think that's a bias because I 0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.640 go to white the staff wishments also and they don't 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.720 do that. They don't gouge like that. Like you go 0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:09.119 to the white establishment in Houston, at least game on 0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:12.160 you Like, Yeah, I get to the parking lot, I'll 0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.560 be like, now I'm cool with the owner. Well, the 0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.080 owner doesn't run the parking lots. It's two different entities, 0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:19.120 so that the parking lot is owned by somebody how 0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:23.240 how but it is what it is, and they're gonna 0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.000 eat off of that. And if you if you're driving 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:29.040 them cars, them real cards, you're gonna you're going back. 0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.440 I just let me finish my point I was gonna 0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:35.360 make first, but I was saying that you know, uh, 0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:39.840 you go to these uh you go to these uh 0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.960 white establishments or any other establishment. You know, the most 0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:47.560 you probably pay the park is primarily white established, but 0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:52.240 it's probably twenty bucks. But when it comes to a 0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:57.200 spot that's primarily black patrons, man, you're talking twenty to 0:25:57.280 --> 0:26:00.840 park in the back, you know. And so everything is 0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:04.120 depending on your car. The car that you're driving depends 0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:06.959 on how high they go put up. So I just 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:10.960 bought my son a wagon, right, uh huh. So I 0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:13.000 told my seed dropping a hundred if you're going to 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.600 the club, yeah, I told him, I say, But I say, 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:18.119 you know, I said, you got your valet, your money ready, 0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:22.439 because uh, they gonna hit you up every time you 0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:25.280 valet you finn to pay a hundred dollars at least 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:28.080 one hundred dollars and that's Houston price. Yeah, Atlanta, you're 0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:32.280 getting hit. Yeah, man, I said, like All Stars happening 0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:36.800 or something, some game or something something going on. In time, 0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.560 I'll be feeling disrespected, though, bro I feel different. I 0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:43.479 hate paying the part. You know, I have thousands of 0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:47.040 dollars in my pocket when I try to talk them down. 0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:49.680 But what I don't like. What I don't like, dog, 0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:53.720 is that the fact that they that they bias. Like 0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.119 I said, I go to the other establishments and they 0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:58.760 don't do that, but they do it to us. And 0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:01.399 I you know, you know, hey, man, back when I 0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:03.840 was broke, I used to get them counterfeit money, you know, 0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:07.520 so you feel like facts change ain't robbery. They're trying 0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:11.919 to get you like everybody on YouTube. Yeah, and I 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.199 guess you know, I guess you can't can't blame them 0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:17.080 right back at my club eight Mile Days, Yeah, I 0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:19.639 guess you can't blame them. If if black people are 0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.400 dumb enough to pay the price, then you know, hey, 0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:25.960 it is what it is. Huh Man's At the end 0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:30.800 of the day, niggas is gonna pay that shit because 0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:33.360 they want their car in the front anyway so they 0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:36.040 can get them bitches. You know, I think it's bigger 0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:38.760 than that. I know that when like when I valet, 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:41.320 I valet because I want my car to be safe. 0:27:41.320 --> 0:27:43.080 I valet for safe to you know what I'm saying. 0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:46.800 I don't want to come out and some my window 0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:50.439 and I gotta I got the inconvenience of pain, even 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:53.000 though it's not it's it's it's a little money just 0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:57.919 to fix a window, but the hal it's the inconvenience. 0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:00.119 And they know that and ain't gonna be nothing. Then 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:02.080 they ain't gonna steal nothing out of the car. I 0:28:02.760 --> 0:28:05.360 never keep any valuables in my car, so that never 0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:08.480 get anything out of it. But it's just inconvenienced. But 0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:12.679 see that's just niggas and not niggas, it's just black people. 0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:17.959 Because you'll go to a black restaurant and four wings 0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:24.879 and a soda.

You didn't 0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:35.879 drop two hundred dollars for three wings. It's like trying 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:38.840 to support black people. Just it is what it is. 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.400 You know, so that's a cold game right there. Man. 0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.280 I wouldn't know anything about chicken wings though.

So it's like, 0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.440 let me try to do something about it, you know. So, Um, 0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:07.560 I hate going to the gym, so I bought everything 0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:11.320 in the garage. So I live weights three times a 0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:15.360 week and I try to walk for an hour every day, 0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:17.400 you know what I'm saying. And I changed my eating 0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:22.760 habits too, and that's how I did it. How were 0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:25.280 you growing up? Like you grew up with your mom 0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:29.440 and dad? Where was the family? Me and my mom? Um? 0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:33.640 My little brother came when I was around nine, you know, 0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:36.160 but I was the only child till like nine years old, 0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:41.680 and we stayed in study Wood, small ass house, um 0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:47.680 in the hood. Uh that's probably why I am scared 0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:50.440 of roaches to this day. You know, I'm saying, don't 0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.640 matter how I clean your house was, if your house 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.080 was on bricks, like you was gonna see roaches and rats. 0:30:55.720 --> 0:31:01.760 There's no way around that shit. But yeah, but I 0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:05.640 said I wouldn't know gangster though. Like, um, my mom 0:31:05.880 --> 0:31:08.040 was a good person. She raised me the right way. 0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:12.160 You know so all my partners that was gangster and shit, 0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:15.760 our people going to their house and seeing how their 0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:19.200 mama was, their daddy was. And that's why I ain't 0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:22.880 like y'all ain't hating nothing because we're gonna beat somebody 0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:26.160 up together, you know. But yeah, y'all, nigga savage, I'm 0:31:26.200 --> 0:31:32.600 not say like, you know, you need to be in 0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:36.520 the movies, right man, you got you got that persona 0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:43.160 man like seas all that. I'm a hood nigga. I 0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:46.640 ain't know gangster though, Like you know, it ain't that 0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:49.320 wrong with being a gangster. You know, some people ain't 0:31:49.320 --> 0:31:51.760 got they just gonna be a gangster. That's what they 0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:54.400 have to be. I don't know. I think I think 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:57.000 a better message. It is something wrong with being a 0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.880 gangster because to get a good gangster lifestyle, you know, 0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:03.320 and I've been a gangster, you know, like the gangster 0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:07.920 lifestyle doesn't have a great retirement plan. But you know 0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:10.440 what you're speaking from, nigga that made it to the 0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:16.480 retirement plan. See, when you're younger, the the bitches only 0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:21.000 want the gangster is younger women. You know what I'm saying, 0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:23.160 that nice guy is not getting no pussy at all. 0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:27.800 But that gangster that's going to juvenile and shit, no, 0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:31.320 he's fucking all the bitches in the apartments. What's about 0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:35.280 being rebellious? I think, yeah, you think young people, the 0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:40.800 youth wants just by nature rebellious. And that's no matter 0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:44.600 what generation that is. Its transcends generations. You know. For sure. 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:48.920 Young people are just like rebellion. And that's why when 0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.320 they get to be a certain age, they go trying 0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:54.280 to clean up everything because that shit got they got 0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:56.160 a time limit on it. Man. You can't do that 0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:59.760 ship forever, man, and then you're gonna run to a nigga. 0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:03.320 That's about that, just like you.

Soon or later, I'm gonna have 0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:20.600 to deal with that guy. And they already not already 0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:22.760 not a deal, they're already plotting on you, Yeah, because 0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:27.040 they've been watching you be active. Yeah.

Did you? Were you ever in the store 0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:44.759 with with the food stamps and waited to somebody to lead, 0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:48.000 waited to other people left my mom. She didn't care 0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:50.439 like that, you know what I'm saying. You you never 0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:53.200 went to the store food stamps. Well I would. I 0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:55.319 would stand next to her when she did it. You 0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:58.919 know what I'm saying, Um, Yeah, I ain't you got 0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:02.040 off easy. My mama used to send us to the 0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:05.279 store with the food stamps, and so we got the 0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:09.279 food stamps and we're waiting like so we try to 0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:12.120 spend the food stamps quickly before somebody comes in the 0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:16.680 store who recognizes us. I think my mama tried. They 0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:19.799 later on they wouldn't let kids do it. Yeah, I 0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:22.000 think my mama tried. They had me do that Croakers 0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:25.000 one time. Now, what was the sh Apple tree back then? 0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:28.920 Now for any of you out there now, for any 0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:31.239 of you out there who might be on some bs. 0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:35.960 My mama worked, so we had web fast to subsidize 0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:39.200 or income. My mama worked five days a week for 0:36:39.239 --> 0:36:42.040 the for the Houston Independent School District as a cook. 0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:48.759 My mom was a teacher. She worked for HUD. Yeah, 0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:52.120 we were still bro That's what it would hit me. 0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:56.160 I remember being like in middle school, like college Jane 0:36:56.200 --> 0:37:01.480 all that, it's dope if it's a two income household. 0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:06.440 But my mama got two kids, a master's degree and 0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:11.760 as a teacher, and we still broke. Well, y'all broke. 0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:19.000 We wouldn't we wasn't I say this because she she 0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:24.360 worked her ass off. She would teach during the week, 0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:30.760 she was a real estate agent. She played piano at church, 0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:33.920 three different churches on Sundays to get through different checks 0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:37.520 from through different churches. You know. So she brought a 0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:43.160 lot of money in, but it just wasn't enough like that, 0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:46.560 you know what I'm saying. She always Now I'm like, 0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:50.080 I know she had a drug habit. She wasn't shrink, 0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:53.320 she been doing nothing of that. But for the most 0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:59.560 part she she always and with my child support money, 0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:02.360 my my little brother, charl support money. It was just 0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:05.200 always just enough for the bills and a car note 0:38:05.480 --> 0:38:10.239 and a light bill. And you know, yeah, did any 0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:14.839 of the utilities ever get turned off? No, did y'all 0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:20.399 ever get evicted? No shit, y'all rich by y'all y'all 0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:22.960 was good? You did you know? Mamma did good? How 0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:24.800 many how many of you are? Was it? It was 0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:28.279 too It was too like I never I never tried 0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:32.160 to credit her like we was just fucked up. But 0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:34.719 I think my mama understood the system. She was like 0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:39.719 all right, Well, I can get these food stamps over here, 0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:42.320 said that freeze up this money for this. If I 0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:45.279 played piano piano at these churches, then that would be 0:38:45.280 --> 0:38:48.479 the food money for the week. If I can sell 0:38:48.520 --> 0:38:53.000 a house in there, then maybe he can get some 0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:56.440 Jordans or something. You know what I'm saying, Like we 0:38:56.480 --> 0:38:58.680 would be in the hood, but I had Nintendo Super, 0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:03.680 Nincendo Genesis and all that. Man, what you headed here, 0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:07.760 everybody came to you got it the good life meals, 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:10.560 y'all didn't get the phone turned off. That's why I 0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:13.480 tell people that there are good people in that that 0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:18.080 are in the hood, who are law abiding citizens, who 0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:22.920 work every day and who are just genuinely good people. 0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:25.759 I know a lot of any more people. There are 0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:29.200 more of those type of people in the hood than 0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:32.160 that are, not for sure, but you know how they 0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:35.520 like to spend the narrative. Yeah, that that should always 0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:38.000 been good for to me. Like my thing is, I'm 0:39:38.000 --> 0:39:43.120 from the hood. We we were broke, but my mom 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:46.880 made sure that I didn't notice. You know what I'm saying, 0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:50.520 like it, I know we'd be moving from here to here, 0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:53.400 and you know what I'm saying, and certain things that 0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:56.400 happen and all that, But for the most part, she 0:39:56.600 --> 0:39:59.960 tried to make sure I had things that I wanted, 0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.160 you know what I'm saying. So I gotta say, Um, 0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:08.719 you know, I hadn't been through hard times, but I 0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:11.479 know it's people who've had a way it worse. Way 0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:15.319 it worse. People who didn't have parents who had it 0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:17.080 all together, you know what I'm saying. So they had 0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:19.839 to go outside and do shit, you know what I'm saying. So, 0:40:20.480 --> 0:40:23.080 like I say, it's um, I always come in my 0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:26.759 mama for that I'm saying, because that's probably ain't no, 0:40:26.760 --> 0:40:28.840 Probably that's why I got all my musical talent from 0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:32.160 I'm saying. She would play the piano. Now I was 0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:34.400 just watching, just watch. It was always a piano in 0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:37.359 the house, an old piano from her grandma, you know. 0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:39.719 So she would play the piano at the church. I'll 0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:45.640 play the drums, you know what I'm saying. Okay, all right, yeah, 0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:48.080 that followed me all the way to the band. That 0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.280 Book of T I'm playing the drums in the band 0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:56.040 and yo Book of T. Yeah, we smash y'all on 0:40:56.120 --> 0:40:59.839 that Battle of the Band. Never say nobody could fuck 0:40:59.840 --> 0:41:03.880 with us nobody but the Yates. Yates and Yates couldn't 0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:06.640 even see us. You know what. You know you came 0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:09.799 at way after me. But that's the only reason why. 0:41:10.160 --> 0:41:13.200 But but go look up the history of farrest Brook. 0:41:13.760 --> 0:41:19.000 That band y'all went on. But I get to see. 0:41:19.000 --> 0:41:21.640 I'm gonna say what made far As Forest brooklet. Y'all 0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:28.200 were very loud. So y'all weren't the best players, hell no, man, 0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:31.560 but y'all were so loud that y'all soul that ship. 0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:35.000 So if motherfucker's come out on the field, you just 0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:38.040 like how I feel that shit. Y'all loud and the 0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:41.880 motherfucker y'all can't see me though I can't see me. 0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:46.920 But you know, y'all, y'all loud. Far As Brook was 0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:51.480 loud and and and we had man fars Brook was 0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:55.920 nice though they came girls. I'm talking about the baddest 0:41:56.000 --> 0:42:02.560 girls man Farest Brook. We had so many fine girls. 0:42:02.840 --> 0:42:06.480 Like the girls who were petitue we had wasn't but 0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:10.319 like nines and dimes on the Chili the team, if 0:42:10.320 --> 0:42:14.160 they had a woman body, they were jaguars, you know, y'all. 0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:16.719 And red the little schools y'all called them majors, but 0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:18.440 you know, it was on a different level. So we 0:42:18.440 --> 0:42:20.160 called it. We was a Jaguars, So we called our 0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:22.839 girls the jaguar Ets. You know what's crazy. I went 0:42:22.880 --> 0:42:27.560 to so many high schools because I like, when I 0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:30.960 turned sixteen, I knew I wanted to be who I 0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:34.680 ended up being, and I dropped out so many times. 0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:36.680 I just didn't want to go to school nomore. I 0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:38.640 just wanted to make beats and wrap and just do that, 0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:43.000 and I dropped out somebody side. I would never do 0:42:43.080 --> 0:42:45.000 my work. I would when I got there, I did 0:42:45.000 --> 0:42:48.520 my work. I just didn't want to go. I started 0:42:48.520 --> 0:42:50.319 making beats when I was sixteen. I would be up 0:42:50.320 --> 0:42:53.080 to like six seven in the morning. My mom would 0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:54.879 go to work before I had to leave. So I'm 0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:57.600 not gonna stay up to six am and didn't get 0:42:57.680 --> 0:42:59.719 dressed and go to school.

So I went to so many different 0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:17.319 high schools, and then when I moved to Titwell. That's 0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:20.279 when I went to Jersey Village and that was side 0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:24.520 Fair District, and I was just like, whoa, the bitches 0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:29.040 over here way better.

Uh yeah, yeah, 0:49:05.120 --> 0:49:09.440 I'm sitting there saying this. You know. So when they 0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:12.120 get a little older day day, you know, question is 0:49:12.160 --> 0:49:14.680 gonna be asked. And I always explained to them.

I'm always impressed by good fathers, you know, 0:49:39.440 --> 0:49:42.319 Like I'm always suppressed by by guys who spend time 0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:45.640 with their children, like quality time with their children. And 0:49:45.719 --> 0:49:48.920 you can tell the ones who really are into their children, 0:49:49.000 --> 0:49:51.359 like like crazy, I could tell. I could tell that. 0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:53.520 I feel like the best dads are the people who 0:49:53.520 --> 0:49:58.120 didn't have one. Oftentimes they are like, yeah, you want 0:49:58.160 --> 0:50:02.400 to be that guy. I'm just like I. I couldn't 0:50:02.400 --> 0:50:04.600 imagine not being in their lives, you know what I'm saying. 0:50:04.640 --> 0:50:08.280 Like my dad, we got cool before he passed away, 0:50:08.320 --> 0:50:11.399 like in um oh three, but he wasn't there at all. 0:50:11.680 --> 0:50:15.000 I say, probably my whole life.

Your kids and your friend's gonna be tiktoking 0:51:37.840 --> 0:51:43.080 to that shit. All that shit. Okay, hypothetically speaking, hypothetically speaking, 0:51:44.520 --> 0:51:50.719 Your daughter comes home, she's I don't know, sixteen years old, 0:51:51.719 --> 0:51:56.799 and she has a guy right behind her. She says, Dad, 0:51:57.600 --> 0:52:01.799 this is my boyfriend. And you look the guy up 0:52:01.880 --> 0:52:06.920 and down. You know, he smelled like weed. He tagged 0:52:06.960 --> 0:52:10.840 it up and his pants are hanging off his ass, 0:52:11.400 --> 0:52:16.960 and he tell you, what's up? Nigga? How you how 0:52:17.000 --> 0:52:19.000 do you respond to that? This is nothing. I wouldn't 0:52:19.040 --> 0:52:21.040 even judge it from his pants hanging out or weed. 0:52:21.040 --> 0:52:23.560 I wouldn't even judge him from that. But what's up?

I can't sit here and say 0:52:46.320 --> 0:52:50.000 that my daughters are exempt from any of this. It 0:52:50.080 --> 0:52:51.960 can happen to any of us. You can be the 0:52:52.000 --> 0:52:55.040 best dad and he can still happen to you. All 0:52:55.080 --> 0:52:59.279 I know is that I did everything I could instill. 0:53:00.440 --> 0:53:05.000 Like you hear my songs, so you know in a 0:53:05.040 --> 0:53:09.719 way whatnot to be, like, don't be like my lyrics. 0:53:10.840 --> 0:53:13.160 You know I'm saying in a fucked up ass way. 0:53:13.800 --> 0:53:15.880 You know what I'm saying. Whatever I'm wrapping about, I 0:53:16.000 --> 0:53:18.719 don't do that shit, you know what I'm saying. Like 0:53:18.760 --> 0:53:21.280 it just it is what it is, you know. But 0:53:21.320 --> 0:53:25.640 I um, I never judge a young man for being young. 0:53:25.920 --> 0:53:29.399 You know what I'm saying. Nigga's gonna smoke, They're gonna 0:53:29.560 --> 0:53:33.200 you know, they're gonna sack, They're gonna do all that. Hell, 0:53:33.280 --> 0:53:37.040 you're sixteen, man. It is what it is. What it is. 0:53:37.080 --> 0:53:40.279 But um, certain people you you you know when they 0:53:40.440 --> 0:53:42.279 in the streets. Though, you can look at some of 0:53:42.280 --> 0:53:45.360 them little niggas and be like, let me see this 0:53:45.400 --> 0:53:49.120 nigga Instagram and here holding pistols. Never picture now, Nah, 0:53:49.200 --> 0:53:53.760 that's not no nigga you've been with. You have a 0:53:53.840 --> 0:53:56.280 humorous side of you, but you also have a serious 0:53:56.320 --> 0:54:00.279 side of you. Most people know the humorous out of 0:54:00.320 --> 0:54:02.800 you when you make from making the beats and stuff 0:54:02.800 --> 0:54:06.000 and just being this jolly guy, right, just you know, 0:54:06.120 --> 0:54:10.280 happy gold like a guy. Uh, how do you respond 0:54:10.400 --> 0:54:15.839 when people take you for a joke. Let's say, let's 0:54:15.840 --> 0:54:19.440 say it's a situation you know where you know, I 0:54:19.520 --> 0:54:23.280 don't know you just it's you know, it's a serious 0:54:23.280 --> 0:54:28.240 situation that somebody think thinking that because of what they've 0:54:28.320 --> 0:54:30.920 heard you in the music, they thinking that, you know, 0:54:30.960 --> 0:54:33.560 on the personal side, that's who you are, who you 0:54:33.600 --> 0:54:38.200 know what I don't. I'm not saying it can't happen, 0:54:38.280 --> 0:54:41.840 but I don't have problems like that. I think for 0:54:41.920 --> 0:54:46.120 two reasons. Um. Number one, when you see me in person, 0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:49.239 you see I'm sixty three, you were like, oh man, 0:54:49.239 --> 0:54:52.279 I thought I can whoop that little jolly ass nigga. Man, shit, man, 0:54:53.280 --> 0:54:57.960 I gotta shoot him down man, like the little jolly nigga. 0:54:58.000 --> 0:54:59.759 I thought like that, you know what I'm saying, So 0:55:00.120 --> 0:55:03.560 people they don't don't play with me like that, not 0:55:03.640 --> 0:55:05.160 saying I can't get played with it. But I don't 0:55:05.200 --> 0:55:08.120 have those problems. And another reason, another thing. I don't 0:55:08.160 --> 0:55:12.200 carry myself like that. I don't with a jury. I 0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:16.839 don't flash money like that. I don't, you know, so 0:55:17.760 --> 0:55:19.680 a lot of people when they meet me, they see 0:55:19.719 --> 0:55:22.319 I'm a real ass person. I don't. I don't feel 0:55:22.360 --> 0:55:24.400 like I'm too big to talk to anybody. I have 0:55:24.440 --> 0:55:30.919 a conversation with anybody. I don't um. And most time 0:55:30.960 --> 0:55:34.080 I had the problems with people, it was they just 0:55:34.120 --> 0:55:37.279 wanted me to fuck with them. They just man, b 0:55:37.440 --> 0:55:40.239 king bro weak. I just want you to fuck with me. 0:55:40.239 --> 0:55:42.640 Just listen to my music, bro, just that's all I wanted. 0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:46.560 Bro ain't handle It's like, you know, like it's I 0:55:46.600 --> 0:55:49.439 don't have issues with nobody, you know what I'm saying. 0:55:49.480 --> 0:55:51.080 And this I think because I care. I know how 0:55:51.120 --> 0:55:52.640 to talk to people, you know what I'm saying, how 0:55:53.680 --> 0:55:56.240 to carry myself, you know, And what is the best 0:55:56.280 --> 0:55:59.239 way for somebody to approach you. Who's trying to get 0:55:59.280 --> 0:56:02.120 you to listen to their music or listen to their sound, 0:56:02.320 --> 0:56:05.040 their wraps. What's the best way for them to get 0:56:05.080 --> 0:56:09.200 at you. How about this to anybody approaching any artists, 0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:12.919 just step outside of your own shoes for a little 0:56:12.960 --> 0:56:17.480 while and just put yourself in that position. If somebody 0:56:17.560 --> 0:56:19.799 is taking the ship, they don't want to have a 0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:22.799 conversation with nobody.

They were 1:00:11.720 --> 1:00:14.160 gonna rap to you and you were gonna fuck with 1:00:14.320 --> 1:00:17.320 and he was gonna be like hustling flow and the ship. 1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:20.919 You know what I'm saying. But I had to get 1:00:20.960 --> 1:00:22.920 close to the nigga. I got real close to him, 1:00:22.920 --> 1:00:24.520 so you know I wasn't those like no bitch of 1:00:24.560 --> 1:00:27.000 ass nigga.

My nigga, you don't need to be rapping 1:00:32.360 --> 1:00:36.240 your ship to these rappers anyway, me saying this ain't 1:00:36.280 --> 1:00:38.280 the right time. This to me saying it's not the 1:00:38.360 --> 1:00:40.720 right time, because it ain't. You need to stop saying 1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:42.840 your ship to these rappers anyway, because you're saying your 1:00:42.840 --> 1:00:45.240 ship to these rappers and in six months you hear 1:00:45.280 --> 1:00:48.480 your ship on their ship. Stop rapping to these rappers 1:00:48.520 --> 1:00:52.880 in the club. He goes steal your ship.

Let's just say he raps, and 1:01:12.880 --> 1:01:17.280 he has an opportunity to approach you. And what is 1:01:17.280 --> 1:01:19.880 the alternative if he can't walk up to you. Because 1:01:19.880 --> 1:01:22.760 a lot of rappers have heard rappers got on by 1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:26.160 walking up to jay Z or this person and spitting 1:01:26.200 --> 1:01:30.880 their bars, what is the best way for them? If 1:01:30.920 --> 1:01:33.880 they can't get you, get at you right there on 1:01:33.920 --> 1:01:36.000 the spot, what's the best way for them? To get 1:01:36.040 --> 1:01:39.520 at you or anybody. When rappers come up to me, 1:01:40.400 --> 1:01:47.320 i'd tell them, real nigga, shit, it's nothing I can 1:01:47.360 --> 1:01:50.040 do for you right now now.

Even if I like what 1:02:22.080 --> 1:02:25.160 you're gonna spit, what can I do right now? You 1:02:25.200 --> 1:02:27.640 know what I'm saying, Like I'll be like, man, look, 1:02:28.560 --> 1:02:30.920 don't give your song to me. Give it to a 1:02:31.040 --> 1:02:34.800 DJ that can do something with it. That DJ right 1:02:34.840 --> 1:02:37.680 up there in that booth. Take your song to him, 1:02:38.880 --> 1:02:43.000 you know what I'm saying. Take that song.

A lot of niggas 1:02:50.240 --> 1:02:52.320 they don't want to do the work of this one instant, 1:02:52.640 --> 1:02:54.760 you know what I'm saying. And anything that you tell 1:02:54.840 --> 1:02:57.760 them outside the instant, they take it as Hayden. The 1:02:57.800 --> 1:03:02.040 flip side of that is the women. What's the most 1:03:02.080 --> 1:03:08.200 memorable escalation that you had with a woman in the 1:03:08.240 --> 1:03:12.280 club or just anywhere out in public? The escalation and 1:03:12.360 --> 1:03:16.840 you're like, damn that that changed quick. That The first thing, 1:03:17.240 --> 1:03:19.960 the first thing came in my brain was, Um, two 1:03:20.000 --> 1:03:23.760 thousand and twelve, my manager is my baby mama. You 1:03:23.760 --> 1:03:27.720 know what I'm saying, shot Tatasha. You know what I'm saying, Um, 1:03:27.800 --> 1:03:32.120 she's very club guards sensitive. Because we have children together, 1:03:32.800 --> 1:03:35.880 we protect them and we protect the money. I trust 1:03:36.640 --> 1:03:39.160 and because she would not fuck over me because we 1:03:39.240 --> 1:03:43.000 got kids. We're gonna get this money forever. You know 1:03:43.040 --> 1:03:45.760 what I'm saying. We gotta understand it. We're not together, 1:03:46.320 --> 1:03:48.840 you know what I'm saying, But we have a respect 1:03:48.920 --> 1:03:51.920 for each other, you know what I'm saying. And in 1:03:51.960 --> 1:03:55.560 two thou twelve we were together though, and I was 1:03:55.600 --> 1:03:59.000 in Onyx just when Onyx was still in Dallas, and 1:03:59.040 --> 1:04:04.280 it was it was either Super Bowl or All Star something, 1:04:05.000 --> 1:04:09.360 but Honyx was packed, and I guess this little bit 1:04:09.520 --> 1:04:13.640 wasn't making no money in there, and she was mad. 1:04:13.680 --> 1:04:15.960 So she was just walking through the crowd of people, 1:04:16.000 --> 1:04:19.680 just pushing everybody and pushing them. And I had this 1:04:19.760 --> 1:04:21.840 coca cola because I don't drink. I had this Coca 1:04:21.840 --> 1:04:25.440 cola in my hand. She shoved into me, and the 1:04:25.520 --> 1:04:29.240 ship just spelled all over my damn outfit. I said, 1:04:29.280 --> 1:04:32.160 may need to watch where the fuck you going, nigga. 1:04:32.200 --> 1:04:34.000 Shut the fuck up. I gotta watch where the fuck 1:04:34.080 --> 1:04:36.080 I'm going, nigga. This is my club, nigga. Fuck. She 1:04:36.120 --> 1:04:40.880 put her hand in my face. Before I could even retaliate, 1:04:42.160 --> 1:04:45.280 Tasha just threw her drink in the bitch space boof 1:04:46.040 --> 1:04:49.680 and jump jumped on her and beat her ass. And 1:04:49.920 --> 1:04:53.960 I was just like, that was one of the situations 1:04:53.960 --> 1:04:56.120 I was glad she was there because it was like, 1:04:57.920 --> 1:05:00.520 I'm glad she was there to do something because I couldn't. 1:05:00.560 --> 1:05:02.960 I'm a man. All I could do is yell out 1:05:03.000 --> 1:05:05.120 there and make me look lame. I'm giving this bitch 1:05:05.120 --> 1:05:09.520 attention and shit. But she beat the bitch ass. So 1:05:09.640 --> 1:05:11.760 that was a time in the club where escalated with 1:05:11.800 --> 1:05:16.000 a woman shoutside Tasha.

We came from the bottom with this shit, 1:05:38.120 --> 1:05:41.360 you know what I'm saying. Nobody gave us a template. 1:05:42.320 --> 1:05:46.520 Nobody sounded like me in oh nine, and we made 1:05:46.520 --> 1:05:49.320 it all the way to the top. I've watched her 1:05:49.400 --> 1:05:55.000 beat up promoters, DJ's strippers and anybody that's played with 1:05:55.040 --> 1:05:57.800 this ship that we built.
