This nigga is so good. 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.360 But you know the other part that I've noticed, your 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:45.600 humility in all of it is what makes it, in 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.720 my opinion, just from the outside looking in, is what 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:54.440 makes it work because you're never above the song, You're 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.960 never above the situation. In all of these hit records, 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.040 you keep saying I was a pressure, all right, nigga, 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.600 I didn't know you know what I'm saying it was. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.040 It's not you know, because you understand we've been in 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:13.040 music forever. We've done it one hundred and fifty interviews. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.959 You see when certain niggas is like, the humility may 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.400 not be there, right, And that's cool, that's fine, iever 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:26.240 that works for you. But what I've found in talking 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.679 to you, is that you get out of the way 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:35.560 of of all the bullshit and just fucking write a 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.160 great song. Just write the record, even if you got 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.680 a tweak it, even if you got like all of 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.839 these things that sometimes as we become successful, you do 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:51.320 people do less and less self auditing. What you mean, 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.520 what you mean, nigga, go buy somebody else record. 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.800 Then you're saying no, no, no, no, I'm gonna figure this. 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.440 Out because that does None of that worked for me. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.400 It worked for me. Is your reaction. If I play 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.560 a song you don't react, I know it ain't no hit. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:06.720 That's it. 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.320 I'm not even gonna argue with I might think it's 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:10.880 a hit, I'm still not gonna argue with it, because 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:15.280 I'm saying that reaction is what. That's what, that's what. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.360 That's all I got, that's all I know. If you 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.920 and I'll keep going till I find that reaction, till 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.560 you give me that reaction, I'm not gonna stop on 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.520 every project. That's what I have to get. I have 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.720 to have that reaction, the same reaction that I got 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.360 on every record. It got to be the same thing. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.160 Somebody gotta come from the back somebody gotta jump in. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.960 Somebody gotta do something. If they don't, If they don't 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.760 do that, that song is not coming out. It ain't that. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.719 Ain't that ain't the song. Nope, that ain't it. I 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.320 don't care how niggas jumping around in the studio. That ain't. 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.760 I got to see somebody, somebody else, got to show 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.160 me the natural reaction. They gotta show me a natural 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:55.600 reaction before I actually believe. It's a goal still to 0:10:55.640 --> 0:11:01.120 this day, still to this day.
