Speaker 1: about lawsuits is um. You know, it's so good that
Speaker 1: we are ready because I'm want I want to educate
Speaker 1: the youth, first of all, um, the liars. Second of
Speaker 1: all um. You know I learned with success, people can
Speaker 1: actually wake up in the morning and say I'm gonna
Speaker 1: sue you, like right now, vy can wake up them
Speaker 1: all say I'm gonna sue call it. You can say,
Speaker 1: oh no, but but somebody can say I'm pregnant by
Speaker 1: this guy. And but that doesn't mean they're gonna win
Speaker 1: the lawsuit. That doesn't mean the right. So what they
Speaker 1: do is people do that to try to trick you,
Speaker 1: to try to extort you. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And the problem is DJ CALO's nobody no money. First
Speaker 1: of all, I have so much jury. I got more jelly.
Speaker 1: And it's not even about the jewelry because you know,
Speaker 1: you back the end of the day, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. But I want to teach everybody a
Speaker 1: word real quick because I can't talk too much about
Speaker 1: the case. But, um, there's a thing called counter sue,
Speaker 1: and um that's what we're doing. And there's a thing
Speaker 1: called victory. And it's a thing called you know you'll
Speaker 1: see and and and that's that's all it is, what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Um, different people who don't know there's a
Speaker 1: lot to the jewelers saying that you requested this jewelry
Speaker 1: and then you never returned it and kept it and
Speaker 1: didn't pay some jewelry to promote promote. Now I'm envy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're talking about because I'm very honestly, I'm very confused.
Speaker 1: There's not there's not a truth that envy. There's not
Speaker 1: a there's not even a drop of truth about what
Speaker 1: they're saying. Wow, And I don't want to talk too
Speaker 1: much back the end of the days. You know, that's
Speaker 1: what you gotta play the game. But you know it
Speaker 1: costs to play the game. See, that's why people don't
Speaker 1: counter sue and fight, because it costs to have a litigator.
Speaker 1: And guess what, I'm ready to play. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm ready to play that game. And then
Speaker 1: the truth will come out and then not even just that,
Speaker 1: I don't care, you know what I'm saying. But they're liars.
Speaker 1: Do you get your money back after you you know?
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's gonna be. You're gonna gona You're gonna
Speaker 1: see a lot of stuff and you know what, get
Speaker 1: in line. You know what I'm saying, like, because um,
Speaker 1: if you think you're gonna play DJ Khaled, that's never happening.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. If you think you're gonna
Speaker 1: shoot DJ Kaled, that's never happening, because, um, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I don't know what your plan is. It ain't happening.
Speaker 1: I promise you that I never thought they don't play DJ.
Speaker 1: You can't play don't play no DJ? So what other
Speaker 1: stress do you deal with? Other? Um? I mean first
Speaker 1: of all that that's not stressed to me. But well, UM,
Speaker 1: when I say stress, i'm talking about you know everybody
Speaker 1: got the same stress. It's called life. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but you know what I've been doing lately
Speaker 1: is and that's why my album is called I Changed
Speaker 1: a Lot is. Um, I've been changing the meeting as
Speaker 1: I'm gonna enjoy my life. Know what I'm saying. Even
Speaker 1: if you know, uh, we gotta deal with just trials
Speaker 1: and tribulations, or if it's you know, bills, or if
Speaker 1: it's careers in your hands. I got a lot of
Speaker 1: people careers in my hands. And that is that I'm
Speaker 1: running an empire, a successful company and successful brand. And
Speaker 1: I've been blessing. I've been blessed, Uh, just have been
Speaker 1: around great people. So when I say stress, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about just every day, every day stuff. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But I'm gonna enjoy life, and I encourage
Speaker 1: everybody else to enjoy it. Um. If it's playing basketball,
Speaker 1: if it's swimming, and it's hanging more time with your kids,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. If it's enjoying the music
Speaker 1: you make, even enjoy it more. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's about having fun, coming on the morning show, having fun,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Don't take too serious. Excuse
Speaker 1: my language. I'm sure you're gonna edit that out. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, But you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: don't take you know what I mean. It ain't that
Speaker 1: seriously you're talking. So now you got the stress of
Speaker 1: let's just say burn Man, little Wayne beef and they split.
Speaker 1: Do you go? Burnman got to be a decision first
Speaker 1: of all, those two guys, that's family to me, Um,
Speaker 1: little Wayne, that's my brother, Birdman's family. And at the
Speaker 1: end of the day is it's not my business. And
Speaker 1: I do pray for greatness and everything work out. It's
Speaker 1: not my business. And at the end of the day
Speaker 1: is um, those two people know who I am, and
Speaker 1: I don't get involved, you know. You know, I feel
Speaker 1: like people that um, you know comment, So it's not
Speaker 1: their business. You know what I'm saying. And at the
Speaker 1: end of the day is um. You know, I pray
Speaker 1: for the best and and and I pray for the
Speaker 1: best just for the culture alone because they're so successful
Speaker 1: and and I those are mentors to me and and
Speaker 1: people I look up to and musically, so Um shout
Speaker 1: the little way as my brother right there, bird Man
Speaker 1: shout out the Birdman's my brother. Those are family, I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I pray for the best. They divide the company
Speaker 1: like Kanye, he had to choose between jail. It's not
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I'm with the best, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But that's what my that's I promote them every day.
Speaker 1: That's that's family. I'm not signed the cash money at all.
Speaker 1: Oh you off for cash money? Now? Yeah, I've been
Speaker 1: off for a minute, and it's not not I'm here
Speaker 1: to promote that I've been off. I'm no, I'm not
Speaker 1: that type of person. Family Little Wayne and Burman, that's that's.
Speaker 1: That's family. You know what I'm saying. Y'all know that
Speaker 1: the world know that. Um. But um no, it's just
Speaker 1: we the best um and um nothing nothing negative, nothing,
Speaker 1: Everything is beautiful. I didn't know that. I thought you
Speaker 1: were still signed the cash money. That's what I thought.
Speaker 1: The hold up on the album was NA And there
Speaker 1: was never a hold up on the album. Um this time.
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to drop the album last year.
Speaker 1: The only reason why I didn't drop it last year
Speaker 1: because I felt like, and I told you this last time,
Speaker 1: I felt like I wanted to give the people more music. Um,
Speaker 1: because sometimes when we dropped the album, the commercial stops.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying I learned that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: heard you were depressed because Meek Stone Nikki from you.
Speaker 1: Oh now, y'all crazy, y'all craz First of all, shot
Speaker 1: the Meek Man and shot a NICKI Minaj. I think
Speaker 1: that's an amazing couple out there, another powerful couple. And um,
Speaker 1: you know that was that's my brother and that's my sister.
Speaker 1: You know, I know everybody throw the little jokes around
Speaker 1: because I proposed the Nikki because you have done that
Speaker 1: still now you think now that you see them as
Speaker 1: a couple, could you, I mean you still have done
Speaker 1: that same. I mean I would if I would have
Speaker 1: did it this time, I would tell me because out
Speaker 1: of respect, you know what I'm saying, I'd of respect listen,
Speaker 1: I mean you know what I'm saying. They promote in
Speaker 1: this relationship, you know what what I'm saying. So so iut
Speaker 1: of respect, I would have called me. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, as you know, when I did the Nikky thing,
Speaker 1: that was a whole excitement for the fans. And it's
Speaker 1: the connection with the record, and that's what I do.
Speaker 1: You know, callin you. I'm saying. When I make my record,
Speaker 1: I always trying to make it exciting if it's the
Speaker 1: way I presented. You know, I'm out here presented on
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, on the Big Morning Show. That's excitement.
Speaker 1: You know. I just don't want to drop a record
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I dropped the record. Nah, I gotta
Speaker 1: do it big, you know, shout the our Heart Radio
Speaker 1: and the whole team. You know what I mean. You
Speaker 1: said some interesting You said that when you drop your album,
Speaker 1: the commercial stops. Why is it hard to promote songs
Speaker 1: off the well? I think that's the way that the
Speaker 1: game was structured in the last ten years, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And and it takes us power players
Speaker 1: to change it. And that's what I'm doing right now,
Speaker 1: because you know, when I drop albums, I have so
Speaker 1: many more hit records on there. And I think it's
Speaker 1: also on a budget standpoint. For um. With me, I'm
Speaker 1: you know, I'm with the best, so you know, I
Speaker 1: control everything I want to do, you know what I'm saying. So,
Speaker 1: but I'm for other people, it might be a budget
Speaker 1: where they're like, I don't want to promote and pay
Speaker 1: for another video or another single, you know, and you
Speaker 1: know how that goes. But me, I want to I
Speaker 1: don't want no rules, like it should be no rules,
Speaker 1: and I think that's where the game is going. Anyways.
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like CDs now are dinosaurs. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, let's keep it real. When's
Speaker 1: the last time you pop the CD in your wid
Speaker 1: laptop at home? That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. So think about what these
Speaker 1: people do for you. So I'm saying, is we more
Speaker 1: bosses and we bossing up even more? So let's change
Speaker 1: the game. And when I say change the game, make
Speaker 1: it better. You know what I mean? If if technology
Speaker 1: is making it, were iTunes, Well I'm gonna change the
Speaker 1: for amount of marketing, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: might want to come out with five number one singles
Speaker 1: and then dropped the album. You know what I'm saying, Why? Why?
Speaker 1: Why do it the old school way? Because people left
Speaker 1: focusing on first week numbers. Yeah, well you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: focused on first numbers. You should be focused on you,
Speaker 1: your your whole run. And I'm not even talking about
Speaker 1: the album. I'm talking about your career. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think it's because you're a DJ, because
Speaker 1: like you know you live. Somebody drops the album like
Speaker 1: a big Sean or whatever, we listen to the whole
Speaker 1: body of work. You think it's because of the DJ.
Speaker 1: People don't listen to you old, Not with me. I
Speaker 1: don't think that with me. I think when people buy
Speaker 1: my album, they listen to the whole album because I
Speaker 1: make some amazing records. Put a lot of people together too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I put a lot of people together, but I make
Speaker 1: amazing records. You know what I'm saying. But even with
Speaker 1: like you say, um, when solo artist dropped the album,
Speaker 1: I feel like when the album dropped, I feel like
Speaker 1: the commercial stops it does I feel I's tell how
Speaker 1: I feel like, let's keep it real. Like you know,
Speaker 1: you're the excitement the first week you go to the
Speaker 1: breakfast club, you do revolt, you do that, and then
Speaker 1: the album drop. Do you see them like like Jacole
Speaker 1: quietly went platinum themes. But That's what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: I'm just changed in the game because I know what
Speaker 1: the fans want and the people want because I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of hip hop, so I know what I would want.
Speaker 1: I want more of my favorite artists or more of
Speaker 1: my favorite guy to make the anthems. I want more,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, the same way they this
Speaker 1: in your morning show. They're gonna want more, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Now, you were in Vegas for the fight.
Speaker 1: Of course, did you bet some money? Um? I ain't
Speaker 1: bet m on this fight, but I was with Floyd
Speaker 1: Maywhether I wanted Floyd to win, um, And I respect
Speaker 1: his legacy and his wins. And you know, I was
Speaker 1: telling a friend of mine, it's crazy how how many
Speaker 1: people would actually want Floyd to lose because he won
Speaker 1: so much. And and I think all of us in
Speaker 1: this room can relate to that. You know, when you
Speaker 1: win so much, it's sad that somebody actually wants you
Speaker 1: to lose because you won so much. But when you
Speaker 1: are your way winning, they're like envy, God go and
Speaker 1: then you want now you want too much? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I could relate, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because you know, you know how we do it.
Speaker 1: Every year we come and with a hit. Would you
Speaker 1: want to see a rematch with Pacquiel? And I would
Speaker 1: love to see it because you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I think that'd be great for the people back the
Speaker 1: end of the day is you know Floyda is a
Speaker 1: chant man. When you're watching box you know, um, you
Speaker 1: know envy. I think you said some on Instagram or Twitter,
Speaker 1: you know how you know people got boxing confuses. The
Speaker 1: point is not to get hit right, and the point
Speaker 1: is that you know gets Maine hits in to get points.
Speaker 1: And of course you would love a knockout, but the
Speaker 1: whole goal is is who wins or who loses. Floyd wins,
Speaker 1: so he he mastered the craft of winning. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It might not be like the way
Speaker 1: were You should love watching Tyson knock somebody out in
Speaker 1: one second. I love watching them fights back. The end
Speaker 1: of the day is when Tyson won, he won. When
Speaker 1: Floyd wins, he wins. It's just different ways of winning.
Speaker 1: I think the reason people don't like Floyda because he's
Speaker 1: the bad guy. And you can't have about both ways.
Speaker 1: If you're the self proclaimed bad guy, you're the villain.
Speaker 1: You got to play that role. And I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: you're a bad guy just saying he just won so much.
Speaker 1: You know what they think about it, because you know,
Speaker 1: when you win so much and you get so much money,
Speaker 1: people it's sad. People just start hating. And you know,
Speaker 1: you know the rule, the more hate you have, the
Speaker 1: more love you have, the more hate you have, the
Speaker 1: more money you had. You know what I'm saying. That's
Speaker 1: part of success. If you can't deal with success, because
Speaker 1: not everybody can deal with it, I can know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna hate cool, I'm blessed up. Successful At the end
Speaker 1: of the day is who's gonna pay your bills? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Who're gonna take care of your children?
Speaker 1: Wh're gonna take care of your family? I want to
Speaker 1: know you are, so you shouldn't have to worry about
Speaker 1: nobody what I'm saying. Oh no, I ain't flying yet,
Speaker 1: but I'm really thinking about it now. You're scared of
Speaker 1: flying because just in case what happened, and then your
Speaker 1: tall bus blows up. So yeah, and then and on
Speaker 1: the way over here, I don't know if you've heard.
Speaker 1: Just to do this morning show. You know, I went
Speaker 1: to m leaving Vegas. I can't straight here to do
Speaker 1: your morning show. So it took me. It takes two days,
Speaker 1: two drivers, not stop. But this time it took getting
Speaker 1: it from the fight. I'm just getting I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm not lying. It took me four days this time.
Speaker 1: I was on the side of the road for two
Speaker 1: days straight. I lost seven pounds. Will be on the
Speaker 1: side of the road, no line road, the three flat
Speaker 1: tires in a row, and then we blew the turbo
Speaker 1: on the bus. And you know, when you drop from
Speaker 1: Vegas to New York, you're gonna go through deserts, so
Speaker 1: you're gonna you know, you're gonna be in the middle
Speaker 1: of nowhere. Um but I put an Instagram out two
Speaker 1: days ago. I'm really thinking about flying again. Now now
Speaker 1: it's getting it, it's getting it's getting out of hand.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna figure it out. I'm gonna figure it out.
Speaker 1: Like the hip hop version of Final Destination, you had
Speaker 1: playing trouble and you had both trouble. Now you got
Speaker 1: car trouble. Yeah, I mean, you know that's that's that's
Speaker 1: that's why this I changed the album and the and
Speaker 1: the concept of it. It's my real life and I
Speaker 1: feel like I am changing. And for me to think
Speaker 1: about flying again, that's part of my change process. And um,
Speaker 1: I want to overcome my fear I'm scared. Take yourself
Speaker 1: a nice sleeping pill. Yeah, I'm gonna figure out. It's
Speaker 1: some The other day I was saying, want somebody that
Speaker 1: can take three zixes in a row? You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Or you know what I'm saying. I told
Speaker 1: you before I might have a go see a doctor. Maybe, um,
Speaker 1: you know, tell the promoter I need to have a
Speaker 1: nurse with me. Put her in first class with me.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know, I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 1: figure it out. But you're a righteous man. Replace you
Speaker 1: to field with love on the plane, I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm worried about the plane doing something
Speaker 1: because God is the greatest, you know what what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I think I just I don't want to have
Speaker 1: a panic attack. Anxiety. Yeah, anxiety. That's what I have.
Speaker 1: Anxiety attacks. So imagine me being on the plane field
Speaker 1: like I'm having a you know what I'm saying, and
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I don't want to do that to
Speaker 1: myself and people on the plane either. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean what I'm saying. That's that's the real issue. Right,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, if you die, you die. Never do it.
Speaker 1: Never do that now, we ain't never do it. We
Speaker 1: forever you've done, you got a great making it worse
Speaker 1: forever that complex interview that you did, we saw you
Speaker 1: sneaker class. You have ten thousand pairs of sneakers. Um
Speaker 1: I think I took a lady ten thousand, but you
Speaker 1: know it's definitely in that range. Because the sneaker room
Speaker 1: you see I have, I've been working on that for
Speaker 1: a minute, but I have like two three other rooms
Speaker 1: just filled with sneakers, and I have a storage filled
Speaker 1: with sneakers. I've been collecting sneakers all my life, you know,
Speaker 1: since I'm a baby, before I even knew I was
Speaker 1: collecting them, you know what I mean. So you don't
Speaker 1: ever sell any of them? Um No, But I have
Speaker 1: been trading lately, Like lately, I've been doing a little trades,
Speaker 1: you know, because you know, um, I got h you know.
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing how big the sneaker culture is. And
Speaker 1: it's like I'm meeting like you know, young young kings,
Speaker 1: and and how these kids come and they actually gonna trade.
Speaker 1: So I feel like it's fun the trade of sneakers.
Speaker 1: They get something they want. I get something I want
Speaker 1: or I might have an extra one, So I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, trading with the youth's fun.
Speaker 1: Ye don't you have though that you want actually sneakers
Speaker 1: out there? I don't have, Like I don't have the
Speaker 1: M and m's. I want the M and ms. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. There's a few sneakers I want
Speaker 1: out there I haven't got. I'm gonna get to them.
Speaker 1: But um, I just love putting a pair of fresh
Speaker 1: sneaks on anytime I want and at the same time.
Speaker 1: And you know how it is like imagine having five
Speaker 1: pairs of Jordans from two thousand and six, right, and
Speaker 1: you're wear them in two two fifteen, and come back
Speaker 1: and wear them in twenty twenty, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and still have two fresh ones in the closet. That's dope.
Speaker 1: But the problem is, you know what, you don't wear
Speaker 1: them more like I got when Lebrons came out. I
Speaker 1: got so many pair of Lebrons yea, that I don't
Speaker 1: even know the colors of them. Yeah, you got. It
Speaker 1: gets to a point I'm always late. I just grabbed
Speaker 1: the closer sneakers as many sneaker as I got, I
Speaker 1: wear like the same three or four of them, the
Speaker 1: ones I put downs there. But you know, if you
Speaker 1: got a video or you know you're about to do
Speaker 1: a show or somebody, you know, somebody's at Sneakerhead, you're
Speaker 1: gonna pull out one of them boys, right, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I'm like Amy said, like I
Speaker 1: wear the same two three ones every day, the ones
Speaker 1: I love, and you know, but once in a while.
Speaker 1: But it's I think it's just more of the love
Speaker 1: for it, you know what I mean. It's like collecting
Speaker 1: records being a DJ. We don't never want to get
Speaker 1: rid of our records, even though you and I'm so
Speaker 1: happy I came up in the era of vinyl, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And not not not the downgrade
Speaker 1: or disrespect the new generation, but it's so important for
Speaker 1: them to understand what that is, because it's it's so amazing.
Speaker 1: Did you carry on creates all my crates to carry
Speaker 1: twenty five crates? Crazes you used to carry for them
Speaker 1: before you got on twenty ye And when I said
Speaker 1: DJ with the crates, I used to have twenty five,
Speaker 1: I'm not lying. You you have to organize. I used to, um,
Speaker 1: you know, later on, I used to have this one
Speaker 1: crate call don't play with me, because that that crate
Speaker 1: would be like the quick set if I only had
Speaker 1: but but if I had to do a club and
Speaker 1: it was all calid, I have twenty five because um,
Speaker 1: I would go in an old school segment, uh, new
Speaker 1: school reygae um classics, things you wouldn't think I could do,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I just loved having the
Speaker 1: access to the music. Well, DJ used to carry your crates. Um,
Speaker 1: you know that's the initiation, you know, before they get
Speaker 1: him Miami. You know a lot of the young DJs
Speaker 1: that's doing that thing right now, they came up under
Speaker 1: the cabin. Un brother were the best. Some brother from
Speaker 1: UM either carrying my crates or helped me carry my
Speaker 1: crates or opening up for me or um, you know,
Speaker 1: giving opportunities. Um, I feel like it's important to give
Speaker 1: people opportunities. What I'm saying, it's hard now because now
Speaker 1: you don't need nobody to carry creates anymore. So how
Speaker 1: did these young understood the DJ's got so chubby When
Speaker 1: y'all going upstairs late at night, we eat late man
Speaker 1: eating fried foods diner. You know how that is? Is
Speaker 1: it hard to promote artists because you got like vital,
Speaker 1: you got the hood, Yes, you got mo Vital. Do
Speaker 1: they be like what he was saying. I'm watching it.
Speaker 1: I'm like I wanted to jump in and say, yo
Speaker 1: he said this. Yeah, I was wearing chump in the video.
Speaker 1: Like yo he said this? What was going on? U? Nahum?
Speaker 1: I think all my artists, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: a lot of them been on records and on the album.
Speaker 1: But I think, um, I think you know, when it
Speaker 1: comes to a Callid album, I think it's important not
Speaker 1: only to feature some of my artists on album, because
Speaker 1: they'll always be on the album, but I feel like
Speaker 1: for them to be even bigger is for them to
Speaker 1: do what I did and and create anthems and I'll
Speaker 1: be there to help create the anthems with them, or
Speaker 1: they might find the anthem and create it and I'll
Speaker 1: be there to help support it. But I think it's
Speaker 1: important for everybody to be who they are. Ace to
Speaker 1: be Ace and Mavada to be mad to Bi Vado
Speaker 1: and Calidi b Calid. But then you know, we're all
Speaker 1: we the best and we're going to promote each other
Speaker 1: and cross promote each other. I think that's how successful
Speaker 1: UM Empire should be. And I think you'll respect the
Speaker 1: artists more too. And you know, don't get a twisted
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They're gonna be on Calid Records, Na,
Speaker 1: but Calid, Like think about it. I'm one of your artists. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your first single has Wayne Drake and Chris Brown. Of course.
Speaker 1: And if you don't, you be crazy how you say no.
Speaker 1: It ain't saying no, It's called it is what it is.
Speaker 1: It ain't no disrespect. Like if you take it in
Speaker 1: a disrespectful way, that means you have insecurity of yourself
Speaker 1: because I don't take it a disrespect. If somebody say,
Speaker 1: if if Rosto put me on his album even though
Speaker 1: I'm a part of it, Like, I don't take that
Speaker 1: as a disrespect like artist, that's something with another DJ
Speaker 1: you're not. No, I promote for them to do that,
Speaker 1: like my artist. That's one thing. And and and if
Speaker 1: you've been with me from day one, I'd be like,
Speaker 1: makes you do all the DJ's records, Make sure you
Speaker 1: do all every drop makes you if you yeah, Acehood,
Speaker 1: he came from the birth, he will call me all
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, like that I don't butt you record
Speaker 1: was tough, but for whatever reason, it didn't like. Well.
Speaker 1: I think that record. I think that record is about
Speaker 1: to open the doors for his next record. And speaking
Speaker 1: of ace Hood, he got his new single about to
Speaker 1: come out and it's gonna be real big guy willing
Speaker 1: um and I'm very excited about it. He's very excited
Speaker 1: about it. So be ready for a new ace Hood single. Um,
Speaker 1: he'd been in the studio and if you will, actually
Speaker 1: been in the gym. What he's been doing is he's
Speaker 1: been recording so much and been in the gym so much.
Speaker 1: He's getting ready for that aceh Hood takeover and and
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about it because obviously y'all know, I've
Speaker 1: been believing the Acehood from day one. And um, I
Speaker 1: think he's one, you know, one of the new generation
Speaker 1: greatest his delivery, and I think his next single is
Speaker 1: gonna be huge. Do you feel like a lot of
Speaker 1: DJs support each other like when they put out albums
Speaker 1: and put out singles. Do you feel like I think
Speaker 1: I think. I think I think they're starting to do
Speaker 1: more of it now. Um, back in the days, I
Speaker 1: think they wasn't um. I think they're doing more of
Speaker 1: it now because of UM. Yeah, and and and not
Speaker 1: even just that, Like I think you know the new
Speaker 1: thing out there. You know, you get exposed as a
Speaker 1: hater when you don't do it right. Who wants to
Speaker 1: be a hater? So now you're exposed, you're not supporting,
Speaker 1: and you can support and and and and the record
Speaker 1: ll be successful. At least she's supported, Right, It's about
Speaker 1: opportunities and support system. The music is gonna speak for itself.
Speaker 1: You cannot stop a hit record. That's what I tell
Speaker 1: people every day. You cannot stop a hit record. It's
Speaker 1: gonna go. And I'm living proof of that, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I'm not talking about this coward
Speaker 1: or any artists. We might not like the person. You
Speaker 1: can't stop a hit record. If it's gonna it's gonna go.
Speaker 1: But don't be a hater because then you're exposed. Then
Speaker 1: we look at you and think, look at you like
Speaker 1: a boy, right saying we're gonna look at you. That's
Speaker 1: the boy, you know what I'm saying, Like, why we're
Speaker 1: gonna do that? So you either want to be somebody
Speaker 1: that's gonna show love and support and and and respect
Speaker 1: that or you're gonna be a hater. I know Y
Speaker 1: got a hot single with ric Love. I like that
Speaker 1: song when you know vy he'd been doing this for
Speaker 1: a long time. But we don't be trying to get
Speaker 1: people to play his record exactly. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: People have too much. Whatever you should, you should, I
Speaker 1: just don't. But you know you should. It is because
Speaker 1: if if I support you and your stuff in any
Speaker 1: DJ out there, I expect the same. And if you don't, no,
Speaker 1: they believe me. They paying attention. Were on the number one.
Speaker 1: That's right. But don't get twisted. There's boys out there
Speaker 1: now get twisted now now now and but but you
Speaker 1: should have but you know, you should have a team.
Speaker 1: Your team do that. You know what I'm saying. It
Speaker 1: means more when you call. No, you gotta do it
Speaker 1: yourself too. But you gotta have a team still because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call all the time. You know that. I
Speaker 1: ain't got a problem doing that, but I gotta have
Speaker 1: a team. You let me make some calls for you good.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, supporting and and and that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's part of building your brand and your empire.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. You gotta have your team.
Speaker 1: Of course, you gotta be hands on. That's why were
Speaker 1: your best and been so successful. It's because I made
Speaker 1: tres hands on. If J can call people about title,
Speaker 1: you can call people like you create your own. You know,
Speaker 1: we've created a platform where we necessarily don't need the
Speaker 1: same amount of calls that they do. That's still a
Speaker 1: good thing to do, everybody. Yeah, bigger than what it is.
Speaker 1: You know, if you help it, if you look out,
Speaker 1: you do. If not, Now, what about artists, Like when
Speaker 1: you hit them up to get on a song, people
Speaker 1: generally like, yes, I gotta do it for calid or
Speaker 1: is there No, that's definitely not true. Um, But because
Speaker 1: I don't think arts would be nervous, like man, I
Speaker 1: don't want to not do I think I think. Now
Speaker 1: let's I'm gonna give you real talk. Um. I feel
Speaker 1: like the the more artists has been out in our era,
Speaker 1: meaning as in you know what I mean, Like you
Speaker 1: would be surprised the newer generation is harder than the
Speaker 1: big boys. No, no, no, they respect, don't get twisted.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They gotta respect what I'm saying, um,
Speaker 1: but I would think they would want to be of
Speaker 1: course it's not. It's not that, but you you'd be
Speaker 1: surprised of the process to get it done and to
Speaker 1: do certain things. You know. I'm I come from, you know,
Speaker 1: the real era. And the reason why I say the
Speaker 1: real era is because it's where it got created from.
Speaker 1: You su I'm saying, Um, you know I listened to
Speaker 1: Nas Biggie and jay Z and Tupacket and Rick Ross.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That's what I listened to.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and everybody else comes second.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So I come from ah, um,
Speaker 1: the code. You know, I respect the code. I feel
Speaker 1: like the generation they're not been they're not been raised
Speaker 1: with the code of respect of the code like some
Speaker 1: people would do boys and things cool. So you can't
Speaker 1: do boys with DJ Gallatt. You can't do boys with
Speaker 1: DJ m V. You can't do boys, y'all. You just
Speaker 1: can't because we're gonna put them in place and they're
Speaker 1: gonna respect you after that because nobody some people won't
Speaker 1: tell them and say that's wrong. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Or you know what, we ain't doing nothing or I
Speaker 1: can show you better than I can tell you you should.
Speaker 1: I'm saying me, I come from a colde in respect
Speaker 1: and you know, me making my records, it's always been love. Um.
Speaker 1: If everybody done another you turned you down? Yeah here,
Speaker 1: but you having to slap nobody like d No, I
Speaker 1: never I never got turned I don't think I've never
Speaker 1: got turned down. I probably they wasn't available at that time,
Speaker 1: because sometimes I can't do a record with somebody wanted to,
Speaker 1: but I might did it two years later. And I'm
Speaker 1: cool with that, right because sometimes people have an album
Speaker 1: coming out of there. Yeah it'd be something, but you know,
Speaker 1: and then you know, you're starting to learn, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, some people might want to get in the
Speaker 1: way of the greatness, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure y'all know about stuff like that. And it
Speaker 1: might not be a no, but it might be somebody
Speaker 1: want to get away, get in the way of it.
Speaker 1: Let me know when somebody's curving you though, of course.
Speaker 1: And you know when people curve me, or if they
Speaker 1: did curb me, it ain't I don't sweat it. That's
Speaker 1: their loss, you know what I'm saying. I know what
Speaker 1: I'm worth, but they can always come back. Can they
Speaker 1: come back after that? Or is it dead to you? Um?
Speaker 1: I ain't got no problem with them, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I don't have a problem with you.
Speaker 1: If you really do some boy, let me ask you. You
Speaker 1: You mention something you said. The younger artists or the
Speaker 1: artists that come out now, it's a lot harder. They
Speaker 1: feel a different. Could it be because they don't respect
Speaker 1: the craft like a lot of the other ones do.
Speaker 1: Like like I look at the freestyle Friday right, whether
Speaker 1: it's fabulous or Jada kiss right, and you could tell
Speaker 1: that they love the craft. But like sometimes some of
Speaker 1: these new artists, it seems like they do it for
Speaker 1: the money, right because ye tell how they they're making
Speaker 1: their songs and how they're moving. Yeah, I think, I think.
Speaker 1: I think it's not their fault because I love the
Speaker 1: new artists, you know what I'm saying. I got them
Speaker 1: on my records in and I'm a fandom. But I think, um,
Speaker 1: some of them haven't been fully educated, right because and
Speaker 1: it's not their fault, um, because the way the game
Speaker 1: is now, it's just changed. It's changed a lot, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it changed a lot. It's just facts. It's changed from
Speaker 1: selling records, it's changed. These new artists don't even want
Speaker 1: record deals no more. Right, you know what I'm saying. No,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but I'm saying it's changed. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Back in the days, you wanted to be
Speaker 1: on death Cham or you know what I'm saying, or
Speaker 1: a bad boy. You know what I'm saying. Now you
Speaker 1: know it's changed. So they they they wasn't raised. Um,
Speaker 1: they raised with this new thing like it's everything is
Speaker 1: at the table for them, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You know, even with the getting money, it's just there.
Speaker 1: You know. You gotta remember I come from the air
Speaker 1: where there was no Instagram. Well I had to go,
Speaker 1: you know, to each club or each radio station, sit
Speaker 1: out front, Um, get my record on a mixtape or
Speaker 1: press up. Like I come from a grind, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Not saying they're not grinding, but it's
Speaker 1: a lot more comfortable and accessible for him, right, and
Speaker 1: and and and and they might feel like they're doing
Speaker 1: a lot. Man. Man, man, if you took that old
Speaker 1: school grind and put it with technology, you'd be out
Speaker 1: of here. Right. That's what we are, Like you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm young, you know I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: I'm I love how much I've learned from coming from
Speaker 1: hip hop to now. I put the grind to this
Speaker 1: new going on. I'm unstoppable. You should, I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: I do bigger business decisions and doing because I know
Speaker 1: what's right these guys. It wasn't raised like that. It's
Speaker 1: just it is what it is. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like it's just the truth on your shirt. Oh lit class,
Speaker 1: It's not Hall of Fame. It's like Johnson to come
Speaker 1: and call Hall of Fame and they make like like
Speaker 1: everything classic. I used to I used to think I
Speaker 1: was Larry Johnson. My father's name is Larry, my middle
Speaker 1: name Larry, and I'm from the Carolina So everybody think
