<v Speaker 1>this twenty thirty year and you gonna call yourself to

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>King of R and B? Why did you decide to

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>come up with that title?

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Man? Really, I was on the road, okay.

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I had just left a show. I had did like

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>two shows on one day. It was some radio shows

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>and I was I was in the car on their

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 2>way to the next uh airport to leave that UH city, right,

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 2>And they was like, man, there was Jock Queize uh

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>that just shut down the stage. It was a radio

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>show and they like, man, he just killed it. That's

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>really the King of R and B. Like, if you

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 2>got kids like he the King R and B for

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:12.599
<v Speaker 2>this generation.

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 3>So I went in the airport and I was just

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 3>by myself, you know, just telling it. It was on

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 3>my mind. It was on my mind, you feel me.

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 2>So I just pulled out my camera like, you know what, man,

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm the king of Army for this generation. And I

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 2>think it went over everybody head because I actually said

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>for this generation, right, you know.

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.559
<v Speaker 3>But the conversation sparked so much heat and it was crazy.

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Everybody say, you know, R and B dead and the

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 2>R and B that, but it's like you think about it,

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I really brought the conversation like to the forefront. M

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, people start going on the King of R

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and B tours. They got shows called Queen's of R

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 2>and B. Like they just the whole thing.

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.280

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Right, But a lady named Rachelle from my team, she

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 2>was like, you should name your album King R and

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 2>B down because if you don't name it King AR

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and B down, you don't cause all that rougets When

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 2>somebody else do it, you gonna be mad and you

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 2>can never do it again.

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 3>So I'm like, let me just take my shot now,

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 3>and I did it, and I took whatever came with it.

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, who was your competition? And this generation R B

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the King of BARB? But who's the competition?

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, man, I've been doing it for so

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 2>long or like you gotta think like I've been dropping

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 2>mixtape since two thousand ten or something like that, right,

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, So I came from the mixtape era, like

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>before streaming and all that, like back when I was

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 2>giving people my CDs, back when you can go on

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 2>live mixtapes and that piels and download 'em. So I

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 2>feel a lot different about who I am as a artist,

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 2>more so than other artists that just came in a game.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>But like, no disrespect to them, but I feel like

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>my ground was harder like it it. It wasn't like

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 2>go viral back then. It was like get out in

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the streets seeing, let's see what's going on. You couldn't

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 2>just go viral, right, But I respect the viral in

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 2>this because I go viral these days, you know.

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 3>But I know where I got it from.

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>And I just know me putting in that work for

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 2>all those years, and those my fans growing up with

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 2>me for all those times. Like you gotta understand, these

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 2>girls that was fourteen now they like twenty eight. They

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 2>got kids, right, and they like, man, I don't have

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.239
<v Speaker 2>these kids to your museum exactly.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 3>So it's like I'm a part of their life. Sound change.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 2>So it's different from me, you know what I'm saying.

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>So I just feel like that about myself in the generation.

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>So let me ask you, Okay, t I called himself

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the king of the South. Lebron is the king. I mean,

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Lebron has chosen one tatter normally when guys have nicknames

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>to have them tatttered on himself. Do you have King

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>of BARB patted?

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 3>I got a king on my leg though, But I

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 3>got that way before I said I was King.

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Of R and B.

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Like okay, like I wouldn't said it's I think it's

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 3>so much. Yeah, I did that when I was like eighteen,

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 3>But I think.

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>They could have looked like you drew that one.

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 3>He drew that if I get tad that early, you

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 3>know yea, but I had to get it.

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I've been calling myself like king and want to be

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 2>a king, you know what I'm saying. So I just

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 2>feel like it was all written right.

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>You talked about it earlier. And I've heard a lot

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>of people say R and B is dead, R and

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>B is dead, R and B is dead? Is R

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and B? And is R and B dead? Or what

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>can if it's not dead? I mean, obviously people it's not.

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't want to say it's not

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>what it once was. But seeming like everybody is the

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>little all the seven little guys, that little baby, little dirt,

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.839
<v Speaker 1>little this little that, and you know you're e all

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.199
<v Speaker 1>the guys you know, so it's it's R and B dad,

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 1>or what's going on with R and B.

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't think R and B dead. But you know

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 3>the difference between rap and R and B.

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Right, you'll have the top R and B guys, but

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 2>they won't collaborate, right, but you'll have the top rap

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 2>guys and they'll collaborate.

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:52.839
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. It's something about R and B that

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Man, Like I just I just was around a bunch

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 2>of the R and B guys at the Rock Nation

0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 2>brunch and I'm trying to break everybody.

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying, like bruh, let do it

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.559
<v Speaker 3>like let's you know, it's getting them something real and

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's it's there. But you know what I'm saying,

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 3>it's different from the rappers, cause the rappers, you know,

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 3>we like, let do it and we go do.

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.199
<v Speaker 1>It, right, But the singers ain't no rapper though.

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 3>But I but but I came up like that. Okay,

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 3>you know I was in every rap camp. You know

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying to cash money? Yeah, you know what

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying.

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 2>And look at where I'm from, you know, and the

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 2>people that I grew up around it's just in me

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:23.599
<v Speaker 2>the way I move Like I'm a R and B

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 2>singer for show, I'm smooth to death, right, But when

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 2>it come to the way I handle business more so

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>sometimes I I probably would handle it like a rapper,

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 2>cause more so than singles with rappers, Rappers might not

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 2>tell you the talk to their manager. Rappers might just

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 2>be like, let's go get it in right, versus the

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 2>singer might be like, man, how let my an R

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 2>and how let my manager and all that?

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>You like time, and there's so many people involved they

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>go to an By the time they get back to you,

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that's like, nah, we're not gonna be able to do that, Like.

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 2>It's water down, bruh. Cause I was really coming to

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:48.839
<v Speaker 2>you genuinely, like I was coming to you to rock

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.559
<v Speaker 2>with you, like I like your music, but I actually

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 2>was trying to get to know you as a person

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>so we could rock, right.

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 3>But now it's like, Ann, I don't even like something

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 3>like that no more.

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>You just that quick? You know what I'm saying? What

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>what drew you to R and B?

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 3>What drew me the arm?

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you listen to a lot of R and B

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>when you growing up? Cause you know in the southe

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you growing up, you know Teddy pend the Grass and

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you know Hal Melvin and all those guys. I mean,

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.079
<v Speaker 1>that's what you you cleaning the house, you listen to

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>R and B. It wasn't no rep going on back

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>in the day.

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.679
<v Speaker 3>My sister was a big fan of the King of

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 3>R and B. You know, she was a huge fan

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 3>of him. You know, she's had all his pictures. She

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 3>used to play all the music.

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like by me hearing that and seeing

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 2>my sister like that, it kind of got in me

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. Of course, I love Michael Jackson, right

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 2>and uh David ruffin the Temptations and things like that,

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 2>but just what I grew.

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Up around, like and my mama.

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.199
<v Speaker 2>My mama played a lot of the Issley Brothers. She

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 2>played a lot of Earth Wind and Fire. Yes, my

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.559
<v Speaker 2>mama played the the the Gems. And I go to

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>my aunty house and she'll play the radio a lot

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:46.679

<v Speaker 3>J Wine on the radio. Just all that.

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.439
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it brought me to it. But what

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>really inspired me the most, I think it was the

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 2>child Michael Jackson. Like when I seen him as a kid,

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, dang, Like that's Michael Jackson as a kid

0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.719
<v Speaker 2>and I was young at the time, so I'm like,

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I can do that. I got into

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 2>my first talent show at nine years old and I won,

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 2>and after I won, I was just like, I could

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:07.880

<v Speaker 3>I wanted oh four, I did. I ain't do it

<v Speaker 2>it was birry Man. Birdman was like, man, don't even

<v Speaker 2>I knew his voice. I'm like, yam this burd Man

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>for real? I just made it happen.

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.959
<v Speaker 3>I went and met Birdman. I got to deal, you know.

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 2>So it was just more so all the artists that

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>was coming in, I feel like they was kind of

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>taking a step over me. But I knew my work,

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. I'm like, I gotta get

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 2>with some people that could put me on the level

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 2>that they get into, right. And so that's why I

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 2>decided to sign with bird Man. I used to always

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 2>say as a kid, I wanted sound kashun too.

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>So it was just Al Ritt because I don't think

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>bird Man had a whole lot of R and B.

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 1>It's all rap for him, right, It's all rap.

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I I can't remember a male R and B artist

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 2>that was signed. I think they had they had a

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 2>female that was that uh used to sing with Ric James.

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 3>What was her name? Used to sing with Ric James?

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Not Teena Marie Tina Marie was started a Kashman really,

0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.319
<v Speaker 1>I think so yeah, he could say, I mean even

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 1>don't realize it. I mean when I first heard her,

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I thought she was black, Yeah, of course, and she was.

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>And she's only like five to two and with a

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 1>voice of a seven foot tall woman that weighed four

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred pounds, but she could just flat out blow blow

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>one of the greatest R and B singers. Unfortunately, I'm

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>afraid it is not gonna get his recognition because of

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>what transpired off the stage. No matter what you're thinking

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>about it. I I believe you can separate the two.

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 1>You can say you're appalled and grow and angered and

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>saddened by the things that he did off but there's

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>no denying that R. Kelly, the way he could sing

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and the way he could write, that's nothing to debate.

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel that he will get his proper recognition

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>ever because of what transpired or will he be forgotten?

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 2>And like you said, you said we separated the person.

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 2>We separated the man from the artist. We strictly talking

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 2>about art, Yes, we strictly talking about art. I believe

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 2>that when they talk about the art, that they'll talk

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 2>about R. Kelly because it's so many people in the

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 2>world that's done. There's so many other things, right, you know,

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 2>we totally against what the man did, right, But as

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 2>the artist, I believe that that they'll talk about him.

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's a he's a he's a he's a

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 2>great with what he's done. Like I was just talking yesterday,

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I believe I could fly. It's one of the greatest

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 2>songs in the world. Yeah, Like, you could play that

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.040
<v Speaker 2>song at a graduation, you play it in church, you

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 2>play the Lady wedding, you could play it wherever you know,

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna inspire you. And that's what music's supposed

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 2>to do. It's supposed to inspire you and make you

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 2>feel good.

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 3>And he was. He was good at making those type

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 3>of songs.

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.600

<v Speaker 1>so many of the other entertainers.

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Well for me, f you know, I.

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.119

<v Speaker 2>what happened at night right with Meg and Toy, you know,

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 2>But just speaking on myself, I keep my handlers around

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 2>me and people that love me you know what I'm saying.

0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Like, like, I got a lot of older people around me, right,

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, so we all trip sometimes.

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, I could have too much ya can get

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 2>the tripping, or I could just be talking too much

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 2>and need to get out the room. So I have

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 2>people around me that's gonna make sure I'm always staying

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 2>who I need to be right, you know, and they

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna know how to eliminate the people in the room

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>who don't need to be.

0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:57.719
<v Speaker 1>There, right.

0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:18:58.359 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I got my aunt with me, I got bright with

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 2>you know. I got people that have been around me

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 2>for forever. You know, it's not no new people. So

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 2>they not around me just like, oh that's Jock Quez.

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 3>I can't tell him nothing. They like, why I slap

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 3>you in the head? L like what you on? Right, Like,

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 3>you know what I'm saying.

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 1>So just what I tell a lot of athletes and

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 1>people all the time have people around you to tell

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you what you need to know and not what you

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 1>wanna hear exactly, And it's not always easy, nah, because

0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people that you have around you, they

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>get to go to the club and they get to

0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 1>experience things because of you. Exactly. Now, if they tell

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 1>you the truth and you get upset all of a

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.960

<v Speaker 1>Do I just like, let just go with the flow

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and keep this thing going. But you say you've surrounded

0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:44.720

0:19:59.880 --> 0:20:01.840
<v Speaker 2>just it's not even concerned, or they might just not

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 2>even be concerned because of what the child brings to the.

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:05.399
<v Speaker 3>Table, right ye see, my mama don't care about none

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 3>of that.

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, I didn't necessarily get to speak to it myself.

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:03.920
<v Speaker 2>But I I knew how they was doing, you know,

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 2>from people that I knew inside, right, you know, And

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 2>of course I'm very tight with the family.

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I I spoke the thud mom, not too long ago.

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I speak to his sister's probably like every other day, right,

0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 2>dolliyan door. We been close since the beginning, cause, of course,

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:17.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, we all came through the door together with

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Ridge Gang, right, so we all well was with cash

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 2>money at the same time. We all came from nothing

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 2>to something at the same time. So we I feel

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 2>like we'll keep our relationship fever. And of course, you know,

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 2>every day I'm praying for Thud, you know, and I

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:31.440
<v Speaker 2>just keep my faith alive that you know, he'll be

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:32.159
<v Speaker 2>right back out here.

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, when when when we're gonna talk the

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 1>d took the deal, people automatically assume he snached, he rolled,

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.679
<v Speaker 1>he got paper. Now, I mean, how did how did

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, have your relationship changed because one is still

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>in and the others out.

0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think for me it was it was more

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:52.160
<v Speaker 2>so a thing with all of us, whereas like everybody

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of did they own thing. We a l like

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 2>m most times I only see them when it was

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.719
<v Speaker 2>all of us, right, So it was was sor a thing,

0:21:58.760 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 2>whereas like I'm.

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.119
<v Speaker 3>Talking to him, I'm talking here, I'm talking him, I'm

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:01.439
<v Speaker 3>talking here.

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.359
<v Speaker 2>We hanging out separately, right, it was always a we together,

0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 2>We together, It's all one family, you know, So we

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 2>was always together.

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:09.879
<v Speaker 3>So one thing I always been good at.

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Cause since I've Donna cash money, it's been so much controversy,

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, from the time I came in with the

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Burnyman and Wayne thing to now this situation. Is like

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I've always known how to stay in my position right

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 2>because I always knew if I stayed in my position,

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:24.879
<v Speaker 2>you never know what's gonna happen up top. And I

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 2>always never tried to be some of them not So

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna dive into conversations. I know I'm not

0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be in right, you know what I'm saying,

0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm a i'm'a allow the world to work, and

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 2>i'm'a allow things to happen that's supposed to happen, you know.

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.399
<v Speaker 2>And once everything's come back together, I'll be right in

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.440
<v Speaker 2>my place cause I never shift its side all.

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 3>I stayed right here and just side.

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I just waited for everything, and I'm a little bruh r.

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:49.840
<v Speaker 2>That's how I've been the whole time. You know, in

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:51.919
<v Speaker 2>every situation, I always been joc quezs And I think

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 2>people respect me so much cause they know, I got

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 2>my own mind, right, Like I could be in a

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 2>room full of killers, y know, I could be in

0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 2>a room full of business men, I could be in

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.200
<v Speaker 2>a room full of inn But I i'm'a have my

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.159
<v Speaker 2>own mind no matter what situation I'm in.

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:04.680
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying? Like period?

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, do you believe Gonna can get back to the

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:07.720

<v Speaker 3>I believe God can work miracles. Right?

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>You also qua uh Uh was close with the Migos.

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Quevo still close obviously, uh. And he said that

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 1>once take Off lost his life tragically, uh, that the

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Migos were no more that obviously something transpired between Quebo

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.359
<v Speaker 1>and Offset. Yeah, that caused them to go their separate ways.

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Have you spoken the Quabo since take Off the pass

0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>of the tragic passing of of of Uh take Off? Yah?

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>And do you believe they can mend the fence and

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>become a a and get back together again? Well?

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 3>I spoke to Quebo, I spoke office.

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:40.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, I hang with both of 'em, right, And

0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, of course RP take Off that was my brothers, right,

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, we were like cousins or something. You know

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, But with them, they so close, man,

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, and the industry paints so many pictures that

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to believe what you read, right, So for

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:55.720
<v Speaker 2>me more so with them, you know, we grew up

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 2>together for real, like before the industry, Like we was

0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:01.040
<v Speaker 2>outside together like mm shooting dice in each other's shoes, like,

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, like literally friends. Like I had to learn

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:07.199
<v Speaker 2>how to call them boys by their stage names, right,

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Like I had to like practice.

0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 3>It right, like I'll say, I'll say, I'll say.

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Cause I'm used to call them kiyai, right, you know.

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 2>So from them doing whatever they doing, I believe it

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:18.159
<v Speaker 2>could be worked out because once again, that's a family situation, right,

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 2>and you never want to be an outsider, even though

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 2>that's my family comedy. I don't wanna step in from

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 2>the outside, and then they get back close and they

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:28.640
<v Speaker 2>leave me on the outside, right, you know what I'm saying.

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:30.680
<v Speaker 2>So it's like I'm gonna let don't handle what they handle.

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I handle both of them separately, right. I pray for

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 2>them any day, cause it's it's always better together, you

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:37.199
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying. But you know, I love them,

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 2>and I believe one day they'll be back on that

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:40.680
<v Speaker 2>stage doing they doing what they love together.

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Cause that's how that's how we came in.

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:43.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm looking at you. So you grew up

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.159
<v Speaker 1>on the East side of Future, within your neighborhood, so

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.240
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of guys that when you were

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:52.200
<v Speaker 1>growing up and you was like running around you probably

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:53.960
<v Speaker 1>seven at eight nine years old? What did you want

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:54.119
<v Speaker 1>to be?

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 3>I want to be a singer, that's what you all.

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:57.880
<v Speaker 1>No sports? I wanna sing?

0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:00.639
<v Speaker 3>I play sports. I gotta hoghlight on YouTube. Yeah, I

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 3>was five.

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I had the Florida Games coach out there in my

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 2>high school already when I was in tenth grade.

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 3>He was already out there looking at me.

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 1>You was about that.

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:09.880
<v Speaker 3>I was hard then.

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what really made me feel good? I found

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 2>out uh later on who uh Jack Us Rodgers was.

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Remember Jack said he bout my height, right, So I

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:18.840
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, it's I could do it for real, right,

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 2>So I was taking that serious. But the reason I

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 2>stopped playing football was my coach left the school. And

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:26.120
<v Speaker 2>once my coach left the school, when our players died,

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 2>it was just a lot going on. So I was like,

0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I gotta do what I know I'm great at like

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm good at football, but I'm great at singing. So

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:35.120
<v Speaker 2>let me go ahead and stop playing with y'all.

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 1>So from the time you, yeah, you was football this thing,

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:41.119
<v Speaker 1>So w was football more because football is more like

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:43.479
<v Speaker 1>a friend thing or my whole boy play. Oh man,

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you go to p Yeah, let's go to PRAC. Let's

0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>go do this and do that. Singing is a if something.

<v Speaker 2>I'm just the man.

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 3>It was easy to t e. It was just easy

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:19.800

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:39.760

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:47.920
<v Speaker 2>the time, I'm singing with my homeboy.

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:48.680
<v Speaker 3>His name was Joe.

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Joe was super hard in the hood. Like Joe, he

0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:54.159
<v Speaker 2>was writing all the music, but he could sing, you

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying. He was my age too. So

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, bet, i'm'a come to a student. I'ma bring

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 2>my boy Joe. So now I got a opportunity to

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 2>go to the studio. So now I'm I'm I'm about

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.320
<v Speaker 2>to go to the studio. I remember, uh, I think

0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 2>one of my older cousins took me on my sister,

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:08.960
<v Speaker 2>but I remember No, Dix took me dex Lee.

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 3>I remember we went and tried to pick up one

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:11.440
<v Speaker 3>of my homeboys.

0:28:11.480 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Cause now that I know I'm going to the studio,

0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm tryna put my home boys from school on right,

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:17.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, bruh, come to the studio. I'm'a let you

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 2>rap up my song. Cause we had been wrote the song.

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Was like, we're finna go record it.

0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:21.400
<v Speaker 3>We'd go to record the song.

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Basically, when my partner heart I tried to put on

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:25.360
<v Speaker 2>the song, he end up choking, but me and Joe

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:27.400
<v Speaker 2>end up killing it. We end up making a three

0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:30.800
<v Speaker 2>song demo, and that three song demo took me from

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Kroger to Cross Atlanta. You know, it took me from

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Kroger to block in t I was signing a bad

0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 2>boy South at first. When I first came in at fifteen,

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I went from Bad Boy South to think it's a

0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:45.000
<v Speaker 2>game entertainment, right, you know, from think it's a game entertainment.

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 3>I went to cash money. So just from singing in

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 3>front of Kroger, you know, it took me to where

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 3>I end the day.

0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 2>But if I wanna never believe it myself and got

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 2>out there and just singing, and if my neighborhood woulda

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 2>never pushed me to that point, I probably.

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Would have never been.

0:28:55.640 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 1>And they start to finish, huh.

0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 3>It's a finish. So many other guys were doing so

0:28:58.840 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 3>many other things.

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 2>That's why I look everybody from the barber shop because

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 2>that was like the safe place. You know how the

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 2>barbershop used to be is like everybody would protect you,

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 2>like they wouldn't let you get into nothing.

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Like if they seeing guys going left, they'll make sure

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 3>you go right. Yeah, And that's that's how my whole

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 3>life was.

0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 1>That was the village and I and I I spoke

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>to their dealer with talking about job and not to

0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 1>get too far cut, but you know when in in

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the community, young fella was cursed son. Don't curse you

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 1>too young to curse that son. Don't smoke no sick.

0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Why are you smoking sick. We were too young, y son.

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 1>While you stealing that, i'm'a tell you now, go home

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and tell you mom. It was always we were policing

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 1>each other exactly. But I think somehow along the way, y'all,

0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, parents started becoming try to become friends. My

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 1>grandparents weren't trying to be no friends. M The dynamic

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 1>won't ever change. You're the child, I'm the adult. We're

0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:46.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna stay in that relationship role. I think it's becomes very,

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>very hard to be a parent when you're trying to

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:51.959
<v Speaker 1>be a friend. And what we had where adults were

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:54.960
<v Speaker 1>adulting doing adult things and kids stayed in their place.

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Your mom was in the military. Yeah, damn, you got everything?

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:04.400
<v Speaker 1>What nah she just say eight or make sure that

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>both make sure that bed. See.

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.600
<v Speaker 3>I got two sisters, okay, so they did everything.

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 1>They older than you.

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 3>I got a big sister, Risey, and I got my

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 3>little sister Miracle.

0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:14.320
<v Speaker 2>So my mama was one of the f you know,

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 2>like you gotta think like she slick, like she slick

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 2>raisers by herself a little bit.

0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like you know what I'm saying.

0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:20.800
<v Speaker 2>It was slick, just hurt like you know what I'm saying.

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 2>But she got married two thousand three. Of course my

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:24.920
<v Speaker 2>pops was dead before that, but it was kind of

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 2>just hurt. But my sisters, they was good girls. Like

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I ain't have to worry about my sisters running across

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:30.240
<v Speaker 2>the street.

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 3>To the boy house right doing all that.

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:34.440

<v Speaker 3>I ain't. She ain't used to have to whoop me.

0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 3>She just could like catch me off guard. She two

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:51.840
<v Speaker 3>in my chests or that. It used to make me

0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 3>feel so bad and that shit, you know what I'm saying.

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:57.040

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Nah, never that that that was the thing.

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:04.080

<v Speaker 2>be like, man, so y'all gonna make a's and b's,

<v Speaker 2>mama knew, Like if I woulda went, it woulda been

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 2>my choice. But see, my mama knew I one of

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 2>them kids, like if I'm thinking it, I could make

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 2>it happen, cause I had made so much happen in

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 2>high school, right Like I was already on the radio.

0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 3>In high school. I had a show called the Team Report.

<v Speaker 2>Go to the radio station and I would report everything

0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:19.080

<v Speaker 2>a student that used to go to the to the

0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:37.960
<v Speaker 2>board for the board meetings, you know, for the school.

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Like I was a good kid right all the way up.

0:32:40.360 --> 0:32:44.320
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, right, So it seemed to me,

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you put all of your eggs in one basket, this

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 1>music basket. Didn't have a plan B, no C, no

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 1>d A. This gotta work.

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I was just talking to my uncle about that. He

0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:57.160
<v Speaker 2>just reminded me by that today. I was like, I

0:32:57.200 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't have a plan B because I wanted to focus

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 2>so much on play. Hey, I I I literally tried

0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:03.440
<v Speaker 2>to x jobs out. I went and got a tattoo

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 2>on my neck when I was thirteen, cause I remember

0:33:05.480 --> 0:33:06.959
<v Speaker 2>they were saying like, if you get tattoed on your neck,

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:09.120
<v Speaker 2>you can't get a job. So I was instantly trying

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:10.760
<v Speaker 2>to ax myself out of the job category.

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:13.480

<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:27.200
<v Speaker 2>So if they talking about they got five hundred, I'm

0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:30.120
<v Speaker 2>going so this whole hustle. My mom she was just

0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 2>and everybody that, like I say, they was just always

0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:34.600

<v Speaker 2>it like period.

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Right you had a you had a aunt sing with

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Shirley Season. Yeh, what was that experience? I mean did

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 1>you talk did you talk to her? You like and

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 1>and did she give you like something? You can make it?

0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 1>You can? You you really good?

0:34:48.640 --> 0:34:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Well I was young. You gotta think.

0:34:50.440 --> 0:34:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, my auntie that was doing that was Shirley Season.

0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Though I was literally a child, see my grandma. I'm

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:56.439
<v Speaker 2>a big on gospel to church.

0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:57.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah thing, you know.

0:34:57.480 --> 0:35:00.399
<v Speaker 2>So I was around a another gospel say her name

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:02.360
<v Speaker 2>was Dotty Peoples. So I used to be at the

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:04.680
<v Speaker 2>radio station with dotty people's. I used to be everywhere

0:35:04.719 --> 0:35:06.680
<v Speaker 2>with Dotty Peoples. They probably be with Cherlie Season, only

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:09.520
<v Speaker 2>ditty people, right, So I never got a chance to

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:11.720
<v Speaker 2>holler at them as an adult, not even as a teenager.

0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I never talked to dotty s since I was a kid,

0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm pretty sure she seen me now, like, damn,

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:18.120
<v Speaker 2>that's Quei, right, cause.

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Of course they call me Jackuis. Nobody's calling me Jaquis.

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:21.759
<v Speaker 3>Back then it was just Qui. We you know. So

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:23.640
<v Speaker 3>I know she see jack Quis now and put the

0:35:23.680 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 3>face with the name of my family. I know she

0:35:25.200 --> 0:35:25.600
<v Speaker 3>proud of me.

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:28.200
<v Speaker 2>But you know, just having that background, I feel like

0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people pray for me, you know, coming

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:31.920
<v Speaker 2>from that church background, I feel like I'm just standing

0:35:31.960 --> 0:35:33.359
<v Speaker 2>on all they shoulders and all they prayers.

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Talent. You say you've been performing talent shows probably since

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:39.480
<v Speaker 1>she was five or six year years of age. Did

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you ever get nervous?

0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:46.279
<v Speaker 3>MM? I always had butterflies. I don't you know, it's

0:35:46.280 --> 0:35:46.680
<v Speaker 3>so funny.

0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't get 'em no more though, really not really

0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 2>like these past couple shows I've been knowing, I ain't

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:52.799
<v Speaker 2>been having no butterflies, probably cause my set only been

0:35:52.840 --> 0:35:55.239
<v Speaker 2>fifteen twenty minutes, right, it been so quick and easy.

0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I ain't been having butterflies, but starting off in them beginning,

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I used to always have butterflies. I knew I would

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:01.239
<v Speaker 2>do my thing right, but I was just real jittery.

0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I used to get off the stage every night and

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:04.279
<v Speaker 2>ask Bright. I used to be like, I do like

0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 2>what you thinking about you show?

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I still do that cause I don't think I'm perfect.

0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I always know its ways to get better. I always

0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:10.719
<v Speaker 2>ask somebody to record me or something like that so

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I can come off it and study myself.

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:13.600
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:14.800
<v Speaker 1>But you still do that.

0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I still do it.

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Bright still record the show every night. I still get

0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 2>off look at the videos, make sure, like I.

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Need to do this better.

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:22.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't like that cause I'm always trying to get better.

0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Your first talent showed, they said, uh you did Michael

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Jackson had to thro and everything. Yup? You you so

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:31.920

<v Speaker 2>Fan, major Michael Jackson fan, like I was so to

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:35.560
<v Speaker 2>the point Michael Jackson. I tried to get a Jerry Carroll.

0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:37.040
<v Speaker 2>That's the only reason I had the afro wig. My

0:36:37.080 --> 0:36:39.480
<v Speaker 2>mama wouldn't let me get the Jeri carb We went

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:41.359
<v Speaker 2>all the way to the salon and when we got

0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:41.799
<v Speaker 2>down there and.

0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:44.480
<v Speaker 3>She like, you sure you wanna get a Jerikerr. I'm

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:46.080
<v Speaker 3>like yeah, I'm nine years old. I'm like, yes, I

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 3>wanted she like, I don't.

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Know she you know she she'm she won't gonna let

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:51.640
<v Speaker 2>me go that far, right, So she let him twist

<v Speaker 2>my help in a little twist or whatever like that,

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:54.759
<v Speaker 2>and then she was like, just put we gonna go

0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 2>to the music fly and just get the little afro

0:36:56.880 --> 0:36:58.359
<v Speaker 2>and just do that. She was like, it's gonna work

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:00.200
<v Speaker 2>cause we donna have the outfit, like the outfit gonna maker.

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:02.799
<v Speaker 2>And she's showing me pixels to make me feel it, right,

0:37:02.880 --> 0:37:04.680
<v Speaker 2>trying to get me out of the thriller mode back

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:07.000
<v Speaker 2>into the child right right cause I'm past that at

0:37:07.040 --> 0:37:07.680
<v Speaker 2>this point, right.

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 3>But I end up doing that and it ended up working.

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Like I said, my mama, man, she been my biggest

0:37:12.280 --> 0:37:13.120
<v Speaker 3>supporter from they won.

0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:16.279
<v Speaker 1>How hard is it because we've seen a lot of

0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:19.839
<v Speaker 1>child stars be great child stars but don't transition into

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:23.359
<v Speaker 1>adult stars. And we see some that just start out

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:26.359
<v Speaker 1>and they just as adults. Uh So was it hard?

0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:28.919
<v Speaker 1>Because I look at like Bile Wild, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber,

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jackson. You look at Beyonce, how she was able

0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:36.719
<v Speaker 1>to transition and she, I mean, she's a a wildfol down.

0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:39.719
<v Speaker 1>How hard was it for you because you had this

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:43.280
<v Speaker 1>enormous talent as a child, right, and to to harness

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.839
<v Speaker 1>that and to transition and becoming an adult star, Well,

<v Speaker 3>Did was I used to always try to time everything.

0:37:50.160 --> 0:37:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So even when I started getting tattoos, I slowed

0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:54.800
<v Speaker 2>down a little bit cause I'm like, I'm gonna have

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:56.680
<v Speaker 2>to transition, right, but I don't wanna do all this

0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:59.840
<v Speaker 2>stuff as a kid. Then when I turned eighteen nineteen,

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:01.800
<v Speaker 2>for the one, I ain't got nothing to do. So

0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:04.600

<v Speaker 2>Like I don't wanna cush it cause I want them

0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to see the transition, right. And I also feel like

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:27.799
<v Speaker 2>a big part of my transition was where I'm from. MM,

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Like We all went from.

0:38:28.719 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Kids to that at the same time, you know.

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:32.840
<v Speaker 2>So it wasn't like I W I moved out my

<v Speaker 2>neighborhood came back a different person.

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:37.279

0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:19.880
<v Speaker 3>But I wasn't even saying to get the girls, what

0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:29.800
<v Speaker 1>this ain't because you an R and B saying this

0:40:29.840 --> 0:40:32.040
<v Speaker 1>ain't because you on stage. You've been with the rag.

0:40:32.120 --> 0:40:33.560
<v Speaker 1>You've been with the thread for a minute.

0:40:33.800 --> 0:40:35.239
<v Speaker 3>Best dressing high school? Did you?

0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:39.560
<v Speaker 3>I got a picture on the table in the CAPTERI

0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:40.880
<v Speaker 3>and they caught it out on the table.

0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hey them see you's a person like that.

0:40:47.640 --> 0:40:48.680
<v Speaker 3>And I was top five.

0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Man, come on, man, So today everybody talks about independence. Man,

0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you need to own this and you need to own that.

0:40:56.719 --> 0:40:58.080
<v Speaker 1>And you say, no, I want to be I want

0:40:58.080 --> 0:41:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to be with a label. That's that's what I What

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:05.320
<v Speaker 1>is it about being with a label versus being independent?

0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I think being with a label versus being independent is

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:11.839
<v Speaker 2>the machine. And when I say the machine is the money, right,

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Like when you with these people, they gonna support you.

0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:16.480
<v Speaker 2>When you're independent, you gotta support yourself, right. So I

0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:18.360
<v Speaker 2>think that's that's the biggest thing, you.

0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Know, I'm surprised that you said that because it seems

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:23.560
<v Speaker 1>to me and talking to you, you've always believed in

0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:26.560
<v Speaker 1>yourself and this is really the first time that you

0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 1>says okay, that support mechanism and you know, believing in

0:41:32.840 --> 0:41:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, I don't see the same

0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:38.239
<v Speaker 1>that the belief that you had in yourself from say,

0:41:38.360 --> 0:41:40.719
<v Speaker 1>from the time you started doing this, because like you said,

0:41:40.800 --> 0:41:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you got the tattoo because I'm gonna show y'all I

0:41:43.080 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 1>can do something even though I got this tattoo and

0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:47.560
<v Speaker 1>you ain't got the hands tatted, and you like, you

0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:50.160
<v Speaker 1>know what, nah football, I'm gonna do my thing, cause

0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 1>that's this ain't where it's at. Am I Am I

0:41:53.719 --> 0:41:55.200
<v Speaker 1>off base? Am I missing something here?

0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:55.799
<v Speaker 3>Once?

0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 1>You mean like like because I see when you said okay,

0:41:59.200 --> 0:41:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the machine is.

0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Saying like you saying like okay, cau. I see you

0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:03.719
<v Speaker 2>believe in yourself. But now you get to the point

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:05.759
<v Speaker 2>where you feel like you need a machine, right right,

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 2>don't at this level I'm in now. I'm'a always need

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:11.880
<v Speaker 2>a machine to help, of course, but I'm at a

0:42:11.960 --> 0:42:15.759
<v Speaker 2>level why am now? I got so many fans and

0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 2>I built it up so hard of course, with the

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:19.440
<v Speaker 2>help of the machine and different things like that, I

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:22.120
<v Speaker 2>honestly do feel like I could have a career independently, right,

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:24.479
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, because I I honestly feel

0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:26.960
<v Speaker 2>like I could have had a career independently before the

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:28.560
<v Speaker 2>machine if I had the knowledge.

0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:28.879
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:31.279
<v Speaker 3>See, we didn't have the knowledge, right, you know, we.

0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Was just out of the hood. Tryna make it right

0:42:33.880 --> 0:42:36.920
<v Speaker 2>like we weren't. Tryna hear nothing, right, Like you bring

0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:39.080
<v Speaker 2>a opportunity our way. For the most part, we gonna

0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:40.960
<v Speaker 2>take it because we just tryna get on the screen,

0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:42.600
<v Speaker 2>because we know once we get here, we could take

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:42.959
<v Speaker 2>it further.

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Right. So I know that, you know, a couple of

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:48.080
<v Speaker 3>years from now, you probably will see me independent. You know,

0:42:48.120 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 3>I got my own label.

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Right now, right, you know, so I know that I'll

0:42:52.560 --> 0:42:55.280
<v Speaker 2>be able to one day actually work like the machine.

0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:55.520
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:58.840
<v Speaker 1>So as of right now, you're happy with the decision

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:00.960
<v Speaker 1>that you made that I'm with I'm with a machine.

0:43:01.320 --> 0:43:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm good with that. But hey, I'm gathering knowledge about

0:43:04.920 --> 0:43:07.279
<v Speaker 1>how this thing actually works. And so one day there

0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 1>may be a time where you see a we's uh

0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:12.359
<v Speaker 1>he doing his own thing, right.

0:43:12.320 --> 0:43:13.879
<v Speaker 3>It might be a time, because I feel like that's

0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:14.960
<v Speaker 3>just a part of growth, right.

0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Like I feel like if you with somebody for so

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 2>long and you got love for him, and y'all been

0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:22.360
<v Speaker 2>doing y'all thing for so long, it's gonna be a

0:43:22.440 --> 0:43:23.799
<v Speaker 2>certain time where you gonna be like, man, it's time

0:43:23.840 --> 0:43:25.320
<v Speaker 2>for you to spread your wings. Like I'm ready to

0:43:25.360 --> 0:43:27.560
<v Speaker 2>see you go do something greater. And I just feel

0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:29.120
<v Speaker 2>like that's the evolution of life period.

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:32.040

<v Speaker 3>the I wasj I W. I wasn't on that, So

0:44:36.280 --> 0:44:37.680
<v Speaker 3>I felt like I used to tell people, I'm like, man,

0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:39.320
<v Speaker 3>the only people I could sign to is cash winning,

0:44:39.440 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 3>right cause I'm like, they not gonna try to change me.

0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:44.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm'na be able to come right in there and be myself, right.

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:45.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's really why I went, cause I'm like, I'm

0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:47.800
<v Speaker 2>not finna go to somebody and they start trying to

0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:50.279
<v Speaker 2>tell me what to do, like you need to dress

0:44:50.360 --> 0:44:51.880
<v Speaker 2>like this, or you need to do that. Bird Man

0:44:51.960 --> 0:44:54.520
<v Speaker 2>gave me full cred of control right so soon as

0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:57.400
<v Speaker 2>he did, I'm like, oh so I ain't nothing changing, right,

0:44:57.440 --> 0:44:59.600
<v Speaker 2>you know. So I I I love that about cash winning.

0:44:59.640 --> 0:45:01.640
<v Speaker 1>If that what makes bird band so successful. He's the

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:05.200
<v Speaker 1>ceo uh uh cash Money obviously, and he's built this multi, multi,

0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:09.080
<v Speaker 1>multi million dollar entity. If that is because he allows

0:45:09.160 --> 0:45:11.839
<v Speaker 1>his artist to have control and he just lets them

0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:13.759
<v Speaker 1>be like, Okay, hey, you came to me, let me

0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:16.200

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:45:16.480 --> 0:45:18.640
<v Speaker 2>I think I think the biggest thing about Birdman and

0:45:18.680 --> 0:45:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Cash Money and Slim is that when you in a

0:45:22.000 --> 0:45:25.160
<v Speaker 2>drought or like when a wave ain't even up yet,

0:45:26.160 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 2>they gonna keep going with you versus another lavel gonna

0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:30.919
<v Speaker 2>be like, Okay, what's the album, what's the single? Okay,

0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:32.680
<v Speaker 2>we gonna put the budget on this single, and this's

<v Speaker 3>is just stuff to get you hot.

0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:45:46.719 --> 0:45:49.040
<v Speaker 2>That's the difference in being on Cash Money, Like we

0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna put in the real work over here, versus to

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:52.719
<v Speaker 2>where it's like you gonna go in there and start

0:45:52.760 --> 0:45:54.759
<v Speaker 2>recording your first album and you gonna put your single

0:45:54.800 --> 0:45:58.080

<v Speaker 2>it it go up through the It go up through there.

0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:05.440
<v Speaker 2>So you get a lot of time, and it's like

0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:07.400
<v Speaker 2>being with cash money, you get like so many bonuses,

0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Like you might be hanging around Bird one day and

0:46:09.680 --> 0:46:12.600
<v Speaker 2>just meet so many other people off free game. They

0:46:12.600 --> 0:46:14.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't charge you none for it cause you met 'em

0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:16.359
<v Speaker 2>with for him, right. I met so many people with Bird,

0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:18.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, and foreign real relationships with them where where

0:46:18.880 --> 0:46:21.200
<v Speaker 2>it was never about money or nothing like that. So

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:22.800
<v Speaker 2>it just it's a lot of places that come with

0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:23.960
<v Speaker 2>being with cash money, for sure.

0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:27.239
<v Speaker 1>But obviously there's been some I mean you've heard, uh,

0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:29.600
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't pay his artists and dance and of that.

0:46:30.560 --> 0:46:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you haven't experienced any of that, or you still

0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:34.240
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be there, of course.

0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean I feel good, you know what I'm saying,

0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Like I never had a problem with my money with Bird.

0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I never had a problem with with cash money period.

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:42.399
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:43.680
<v Speaker 2>The only thing I want cash money to do is,

0:46:43.880 --> 0:46:45.560
<v Speaker 2>you know it just keep pushing the gas on the

0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:46.520
<v Speaker 2>on the radio, That's it.

<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I never had a problem, you know.

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:52.160
<v Speaker 2>And when I do hear about other people problems, I

0:46:52.320 --> 0:46:54.640

<v Speaker 2>had a cash money chain when I was eight years old.

0:47:50.760 --> 0:47:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I brought it from the beauty supply stuff.

0:47:52.560 --> 0:47:53.600

0:47:53.600 --> 0:47:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, hold up, you got a change for beautiful?

0:47:56.960 --> 0:47:58.560

<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've I've been had it went chain uh full

0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:07.320
<v Speaker 2>in my mouth being that the braids, I had the braids.

0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:09.320
<v Speaker 3>When Wayne had the braids, Wayne went the dreads, I

0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:12.240
<v Speaker 3>had the dreads. It was he was big on our culture,

0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:13.239
<v Speaker 3>you know, being where I'm from.

0:48:13.400 --> 0:48:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Like everybody loved Wayne, and then I I had a

0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:17.719
<v Speaker 2>I had a real attachment to Wayne too cause he

0:48:17.800 --> 0:48:19.880
<v Speaker 2>was the smallest one, right and when I was running

0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:21.880
<v Speaker 2>outside with all my dolls, I was the smallest n

0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:24.560
<v Speaker 2>So it was instantly like, I'm like Wayne.

0:48:24.600 --> 0:48:25.920
<v Speaker 3>They used to call me that in football two.

0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:27.640
<v Speaker 2>They used to be like, uh, my football name was Weezy,

0:48:27.680 --> 0:48:29.680

0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:08.880
<v Speaker 3>savage two.

0:51:10.040 --> 0:51:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like that neighborhood was go five what the.

0:51:12.600 --> 0:51:14.480
<v Speaker 2>East side was on five see Future one. Future is

0:51:14.520 --> 0:51:16.319
<v Speaker 2>down there on the other side, like Future, I didn't.

0:51:16.320 --> 0:51:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I didn't mean Future til I got with block Ante,

0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:22.080
<v Speaker 2>like okay, probably like sixteen or something like that. But

0:51:22.239 --> 0:51:25.480
<v Speaker 2>as far as twenty one and offsetting and everything like that,

0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:27.319
<v Speaker 2>we was. I really came up with them. But as

0:51:27.400 --> 0:51:29.160
<v Speaker 2>far as being where we from, I think it had

0:51:29.200 --> 0:51:30.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot to do with Future one to be a

0:51:30.680 --> 0:51:32.440
<v Speaker 2>part of it because he knows where I come from,

0:51:32.520 --> 0:51:34.279
<v Speaker 2>and he knows the level I'm tryna get to, and

0:51:34.360 --> 0:51:36.880
<v Speaker 2>he also knows how talented I am, right, and it

0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:39.600
<v Speaker 2>make me feel good that he actually acknowledges that talent

0:51:39.719 --> 0:51:41.160
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of times you will see a lot

0:51:41.160 --> 0:51:43.080
<v Speaker 2>of people try to play on my talent, right, play

0:51:43.120 --> 0:51:44.640
<v Speaker 2>on my top a little bit, but you'll have a

0:51:44.760 --> 0:51:47.359
<v Speaker 2>person who they acknowledge as the biggest in the game

0:51:47.600 --> 0:51:49.200
<v Speaker 2>come down and reach his hand to me and put

0:51:49.239 --> 0:51:51.200
<v Speaker 2>some light on on me. That's why I salute Future

0:51:51.239 --> 0:51:53.719
<v Speaker 2>so much, and I know it's it's because of my

0:51:53.840 --> 0:51:56.680
<v Speaker 2>work ethic and where I'm from and how solid I've

0:51:56.760 --> 0:51:57.640
<v Speaker 2>kept it in the game.

0:51:58.280 --> 0:52:00.239
<v Speaker 3>I know that's why he wanted to attach itself to me.

0:52:00.320 --> 0:52:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Because you gotta understand the only other artists that he's

0:52:03.280 --> 0:52:04.320
<v Speaker 2>executive producer.

0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:05.759
<v Speaker 3>The album for was Kanye West. Wow.

0:52:06.320 --> 0:52:08.360
<v Speaker 2>So just that line up right there, when when you

0:52:08.480 --> 0:52:11.120
<v Speaker 2>talk about the albums that future executive produce, it's gonna

0:52:11.120 --> 0:52:13.759
<v Speaker 2>be Kanye West and Jock Creeks. That's gonna look amazing. Yeah,

0:52:13.840 --> 0:52:15.879
<v Speaker 2>So I be thinking bigger. I be thinking like, man,

0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:17.560
<v Speaker 2>he know that, he know how that's gonna look for me.

0:52:18.160 --> 0:52:20.239
<v Speaker 2>So it made me have a extended love for him, like,

0:52:21.200 --> 0:52:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I know what you tryna do for me on the

0:52:22.760 --> 0:52:24.400
<v Speaker 2>back end, right, and I appreciate that.

0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:28.319
<v Speaker 1>R How important is it for young artists coming up

0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:30.080
<v Speaker 1>in the game to have mentors.

0:52:31.160 --> 0:52:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's very important for young artists to have mentors.

0:52:33.960 --> 0:52:36.359
<v Speaker 2>I can really say couple of my mentors have been

0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:38.600

0:52:42.960 --> 0:52:44.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, He's always tell me about everything he experienced

0:52:44.800 --> 0:52:46.200
<v Speaker 2>and everything that I shouldn't do right.

0:52:47.000 --> 0:52:50.600

<v Speaker 1>Obviously the big arena's gonna be the the money, but

1:05:57.800 --> 1:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the the setting, the ambiance.

1:06:00.160 --> 1:06:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, uh, I feel like now I'm into the arenas, okay,

1:06:03.960 --> 1:06:06.560

<v Speaker 2>Like I know how to make a big crowd feel intimate.

1:06:19.080 --> 1:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I should say that.

1:06:20.760 --> 1:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>But we see what I mean, what's going on now?

1:06:22.840 --> 1:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>We see Chloy Bailey, people throw stuff. Gorilla had a wigs. No,

1:06:28.120 --> 1:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess I g got a wigs at

1:06:30.360 --> 1:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>water thrown. What's going on? Man? While we while we

1:06:33.320 --> 1:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>out here Wiland, I mean, you paid good money to

1:06:36.160 --> 1:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>go see somebody and and you behave in that manner.

1:06:38.360 --> 1:06:41.160
<v Speaker 3>We out here wilder and we out here tripping, We

1:06:41.280 --> 1:06:42.640
<v Speaker 3>out here tripping. That's what I think.

<v Speaker 2>I feel like everybody ain't respecting each other. Well we

1:06:45.280 --> 1:06:47.440

1:06:47.560 --> 1:06:48.840
<v Speaker 2>put people in, right.

1:06:48.880 --> 1:06:49.720
<v Speaker 3>I think that's what it is.

1:06:49.800 --> 1:06:52.080
<v Speaker 2>I think like when you see a goloriala out that

1:06:52.240 --> 1:06:54.080

1:06:54.120 --> 1:06:55.480

<v Speaker 2>we'sed do theater.

1:06:58.000 --> 1:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Together, cause I ba I I'll look at it like this.

1:07:00.040 --> 1:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Why would I pay my money if I don't like somebody?

1:07:02.720 --> 1:07:04.280

<v Speaker 1>I don't rock with you like that, So you spend

1:07:11.280 --> 1:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>your good money to come there and to behave in

1:07:13.120 --> 1:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that matter, I I don't get it.

1:07:14.840 --> 1:07:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Everybody want to go viral, everybody want to be somebody.

1:07:18.320 --> 1:07:20.080
<v Speaker 3>They'll crash all the way out just to make it

1:07:20.520 --> 1:07:21.600
<v Speaker 3>to everybody know their name.

1:07:21.680 --> 1:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>And then we saw what happened with the stampede and

1:07:24.080 --> 1:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and uh uh finanse times to two time. Excuse me,

1:07:28.320 --> 1:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see that happened. Well, they had they were

1:07:30.680 --> 1:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>performing and they had Uh there was a stampede. There

1:07:34.480 --> 1:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>was like a mad rush to get out of the club,

1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and and and and people some people lost their lives.

1:07:39.480 --> 1:07:42.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, nobody can he That's that's just an unfortunate situation.

1:07:42.720 --> 1:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Do you do you ever concern do you ever

1:07:45.320 --> 1:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>get worried about damn man? I just because uh who

1:07:49.800 --> 1:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>was that somebody? Somebody had passed away? Uh. Travis Scott

1:07:54.280 --> 1:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>had the situation a couple of years ago at at

1:07:57.480 --> 1:08:00.400
<v Speaker 1>uh at one of his events, and you know, people

1:08:00.520 --> 1:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>lost their lives and some people were injured. Do that

1:08:03.920 --> 1:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>thought ever cross your mind?

1:08:05.960 --> 1:08:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Now? I ain't never crossed my mind. But I think

1:08:07.520 --> 1:08:09.240
<v Speaker 3>I was talking about the other days. Nothing he coulda

1:08:09.280 --> 1:08:09.880
<v Speaker 3>did to control that.

1:08:10.120 --> 1:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Right.

1:08:10.400 --> 1:08:12.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you when you're a big artist and

1:08:12.440 --> 1:08:15.480
<v Speaker 2>people come out to your shows, they gonna show you love.

1:08:15.520 --> 1:08:18.320
<v Speaker 2>They gonna be out there just they gonna be going crazy,

1:08:18.320 --> 1:08:20.200
<v Speaker 2>they gonna be excited, they gonna be moving around, they

1:08:20.240 --> 1:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna be singing, and it's gonna be a large group

1:08:22.000 --> 1:08:24.080
<v Speaker 2>of people, right, But it's nothing the artists can do

1:08:24.160 --> 1:08:26.200
<v Speaker 2>to control that. So I just feel like it's it's

1:08:26.240 --> 1:08:28.400
<v Speaker 2>bad when they try to blame it on the artists, Right,

1:08:28.760 --> 1:08:30.720
<v Speaker 2>it's nothing I can do. I'm up here performing my

1:08:30.800 --> 1:08:33.560
<v Speaker 2>records and people are there, you know, engaging.

1:08:33.240 --> 1:08:33.840
<v Speaker 3>To my records.

1:08:34.080 --> 1:08:35.760
<v Speaker 2>It's in a like I said, it's in a it's

1:08:35.800 --> 1:08:38.160
<v Speaker 2>an unfortunate situation, but that's I don't think that people

1:08:38.160 --> 1:08:40.400
<v Speaker 2>should blame the artists for what's going on at their concerts.

1:08:40.439 --> 1:08:42.760
<v Speaker 2>People used to follow that Michael Jackson shows right left

1:08:42.800 --> 1:08:46.479
<v Speaker 2>and right right, Like nobody ever blame Mike for that.

1:08:46.960 --> 1:08:48.639
<v Speaker 2>Like you blame Mike for getting up there and pausing

1:08:48.720 --> 1:08:50.479
<v Speaker 2>so long that people just you know what, I.

1:08:52.240 --> 1:08:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, Mike sit out here and falls you feel

1:08:56.400 --> 1:08:59.400
<v Speaker 3>and people are calling out, But It's like, nobody ever

1:08:59.479 --> 1:09:01.200
<v Speaker 3>blame Mike for I don't feel like we should blank

1:09:01.280 --> 1:09:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Traf for that. You know, are no other artists that

1:09:03.200 --> 1:09:04.040
<v Speaker 3>ever go through nothing like that.

1:09:04.280 --> 1:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>You do realize that when you reach l your level

1:09:07.439 --> 1:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>of success, they don't really compare you to other people.

1:09:10.920 --> 1:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>That compare you to your old work, he said him

1:09:13.840 --> 1:09:17.800
<v Speaker 1>out four. You look at Mike, he had some great

1:09:17.840 --> 1:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>albums after Thriller, but it was all everybody always talked

1:09:21.120 --> 1:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>about Thriller, thriller, thriller, and it drove him, for lack

1:09:24.920 --> 1:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>of a better word, crazy because he was trying to

1:09:28.080 --> 1:09:30.799
<v Speaker 1>reach that level of success again and he didn't realize.

1:09:30.880 --> 1:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I never knew that that was a once in a

1:09:32.520 --> 1:09:35.680
<v Speaker 1>lifetime Do you like you have? I mean, when you

1:09:35.800 --> 1:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>do thirty million, you do fifty million albums, and then

1:09:39.000 --> 1:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>your next album comes out and you do thirteen million,

1:09:41.160 --> 1:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>You're like, man, I'm a failure. But do you realize

1:09:43.479 --> 1:09:44.320
<v Speaker 1>what thirteen.

1:09:44.040 --> 1:09:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Million albums are, right, which is just hit fifty?

1:09:49.600 --> 1:09:52.519
<v Speaker 1>So you and your old work they like, man, queez,

1:09:52.640 --> 1:09:55.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the thing good, But that old album man,

1:09:55.640 --> 1:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that man, you know when he came back, when he

1:09:57.479 --> 1:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>came out, he was hard. Do you worry about that.

1:10:02.840 --> 1:10:04.400
<v Speaker 2>No, and you know, it's so crazy. I see it

1:10:04.439 --> 1:10:06.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot now. I see people saying, like, man, I

1:10:06.840 --> 1:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>miss that mood, jack Quis.

1:10:08.160 --> 1:10:11.360
<v Speaker 3>I missed that. I missed that forty two seventy five Jackquise.

1:10:12.720 --> 1:10:15.839
<v Speaker 3>But I was thinking, like I listened to my whole catalog,

1:10:15.960 --> 1:10:17.120
<v Speaker 3>not not even the whole catalog.

1:10:17.160 --> 1:10:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I listened like five hours on my catalog driving from

1:10:19.360 --> 1:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco to La yesterday, and I was listening to

1:10:23.080 --> 1:10:27.200
<v Speaker 2>it through and I was just like, nothing's changed, right,

1:10:27.840 --> 1:10:29.639
<v Speaker 2>I was like, it's elevated, you know what I'm saying.

1:10:29.640 --> 1:10:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I think what's happened was it was it's me as

1:10:32.360 --> 1:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>a person, That's what I think. I think that when

1:10:35.439 --> 1:10:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I s when I made the King of R and

1:10:36.760 --> 1:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>B statement, right, I think that just turned everybody, right.

1:10:40.720 --> 1:10:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it just made everybody like, let's figure out

1:10:43.720 --> 1:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>something to say about him, right cause it's hard to

1:10:46.040 --> 1:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>get to 'em. So let's figure out what can we

1:10:47.960 --> 1:10:50.160
<v Speaker 2>say to make him feel some type of way. You

1:10:50.240 --> 1:10:52.720
<v Speaker 2>can't say nothing, but let's just try everything, right, Like,

1:10:52.960 --> 1:10:53.920
<v Speaker 2>now let's try to say.

<v Speaker 1>Do Y have you studied old legends and try to

1:11:12.400 --> 1:11:15.679
<v Speaker 1>figure out what they did to remain on top?

1:11:17.920 --> 1:11:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Most definitely, I'm a student of the game. I know them,

1:11:21.400 --> 1:11:23.200
<v Speaker 3>I know them. I know the number one thing you can.

1:11:23.160 --> 1:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Do is like take care of yourself, take care of

1:11:24.600 --> 1:11:28.800
<v Speaker 2>your mental you know, and just evolving as an artist,

1:11:28.920 --> 1:11:31.680
<v Speaker 2>keeping a keeping the illusion alive. I feel like as

1:11:31.680 --> 1:11:33.599
<v Speaker 2>a artist, you gotta keep an illusion. You can't never

1:11:33.720 --> 1:11:36.040
<v Speaker 2>let people get you comfortable, can't never let people know

1:11:36.120 --> 1:11:38.519
<v Speaker 2>they know you too much. You know, certain people you can,

1:11:38.600 --> 1:11:42.160
<v Speaker 2>but I mean, like like everybody that's on the other

1:11:42.200 --> 1:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>side of the curtain, right, you know, you can't really

1:11:44.240 --> 1:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>give 'em too much or they starting to feel like

1:11:46.320 --> 1:11:48.000
<v Speaker 2>they know you. And once people feel like they starting

1:11:48.040 --> 1:11:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to know you, I feel like you're worth going down, right,

1:11:51.800 --> 1:11:53.400
<v Speaker 2>So I try to I try my best to just

1:11:53.920 --> 1:11:54.760
<v Speaker 2>keep my illusion up.

1:11:54.800 --> 1:11:56.160
<v Speaker 3>I try to switch it up so much, like I

1:11:56.280 --> 1:11:58.280
<v Speaker 3>just have my haird like short, you know, I just

1:11:58.360 --> 1:11:58.800
<v Speaker 3>had it short.

1:11:58.880 --> 1:12:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Just trying to do something different from my fans to

1:12:00.560 --> 1:12:02.519
<v Speaker 2>keep 'em intrigued and to keep 'em excited. I feel like,

1:12:02.560 --> 1:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>as a artist, you gotta just always switch it up.

1:12:04.960 --> 1:12:07.160
<v Speaker 2>You gotta always just keep the fans excited, keep the

1:12:07.200 --> 1:12:09.519
<v Speaker 2>people talking. You gotta it's so much you gotta do.

1:12:09.600 --> 1:12:11.519
<v Speaker 2>It's more than music. I tell everybody, like to be

1:12:11.560 --> 1:12:13.840
<v Speaker 2>a superstar, I believe it's more than just music.

1:12:14.360 --> 1:12:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Elimate when you guys gonna hop back on the track.

1:12:17.720 --> 1:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>There was a situation that transpire.

1:12:21.000 --> 1:12:22.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't know, I just seen that a

1:12:22.240 --> 1:12:25.439

<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's.

1:12:30.760 --> 1:12:32.760
<v Speaker 2>See how best friend used to run with me, right

1:12:32.800 --> 1:12:34.880
<v Speaker 2>when I used to go out the country. Right her

1:12:34.920 --> 1:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>best friend Beyonka, I'm calling names you be her best

1:12:38.120 --> 1:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>friend used to run with me. How that that that

1:12:39.880 --> 1:12:41.720
<v Speaker 2>works close with us. So whenever I would go out

1:12:41.720 --> 1:12:43.439
<v Speaker 2>there for my run, she would come with me, you know,

1:12:43.520 --> 1:12:45.840
<v Speaker 2>help me, assist me, do d do do different things.

1:12:46.000 --> 1:12:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Right.

1:12:46.360 --> 1:12:48.800
<v Speaker 2>So when the whole thing happened with Trip, it was

1:12:48.880 --> 1:12:51.519
<v Speaker 2>just crazy because it's like it started off as a

1:12:51.600 --> 1:12:54.920
<v Speaker 2>thing where I told Elam like I'm finna remix the song, and.

1:12:55.000 --> 1:12:55.560
<v Speaker 3>She was with it.

1:12:56.000 --> 1:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but you know what you gotta do. If you

1:12:58.479 --> 1:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>remix somebody's song.

1:13:00.160 --> 1:13:03.800
<v Speaker 2>No, un listen, you ain't got a clear nothing. You

1:13:03.840 --> 1:13:05.960
<v Speaker 2>ain't got a clear nothing. You gotta go no clearances

1:13:06.080 --> 1:13:08.439
<v Speaker 2>if you're not selling it. I wasn't selling it, cause

1:13:08.479 --> 1:13:10.720
<v Speaker 2>when you selling it, they call it monetizing. Yeah, when

1:13:10.720 --> 1:13:13.120
<v Speaker 2>you monetize off a record, you're making money, right. I

1:13:13.240 --> 1:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>wasn't monetizing off.

1:13:14.280 --> 1:13:14.960
<v Speaker 3>For the trick record.

1:13:15.000 --> 1:13:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Now, mind you, i'm'a book. I'm'a get booked for shows, right.

1:13:17.840 --> 1:13:19.479
<v Speaker 2>We all gonna get book for shows. But this is

1:13:19.520 --> 1:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>a it's like a mixtape jacket for beats. I jacked

1:13:22.200 --> 1:13:24.599
<v Speaker 2>up beat and I made a I made the song.

1:13:24.680 --> 1:13:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I made my own verst to your record, right. I

1:13:27.360 --> 1:13:29.519
<v Speaker 2>kept some of the catuses the same and switched the

1:13:29.600 --> 1:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>lyrics and did my thing. That's not illegal, right way.

1:13:32.160 --> 1:13:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Ain't used to do it. Every other artist do it?

1:13:35.680 --> 1:13:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Think about it?

1:13:36.560 --> 1:13:38.559
<v Speaker 3>Why she got a hit record right now on the radio?

1:13:38.680 --> 1:13:39.160
<v Speaker 2>All alight?

1:13:39.240 --> 1:13:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Reallyga one? It's a it's a hit right every time

1:13:42.320 --> 1:13:44.680
<v Speaker 3>y'all clear do it. It's a problem. It was a

1:13:44.720 --> 1:13:45.720
<v Speaker 3>problem with them LA.

1:13:45.760 --> 1:13:48.320
<v Speaker 2>They started hating from that when I pulled up the

1:13:48.400 --> 1:13:50.080
<v Speaker 2>record when I posted it on Instagram, she put the

1:13:50.120 --> 1:13:52.640
<v Speaker 2>fire emotions all under it, like this crazy.

1:13:52.360 --> 1:13:54.519
<v Speaker 1>Right, but you thought you was making some money off

1:13:54.560 --> 1:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>of it.

1:13:54.880 --> 1:13:57.120
<v Speaker 2>T Pain came out and said that I was monetizing

1:13:57.160 --> 1:13:58.840
<v Speaker 2>off for the record. So once he came out it

1:13:58.880 --> 1:14:00.839
<v Speaker 2>said that I was monetizing off for a record publicly,

1:14:01.680 --> 1:14:04.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure the industry and of course guys that

1:14:04.560 --> 1:14:06.759
<v Speaker 2>she's around that has real knowledge of the game probably

1:14:06.800 --> 1:14:09.240
<v Speaker 2>got to her and was like, this ain't right, right,

1:14:10.080 --> 1:14:12.800
<v Speaker 2>which I feel like, And I believe that at that

1:14:12.960 --> 1:14:16.040
<v Speaker 2>moment we shoulda came together and they should have put

1:14:16.080 --> 1:14:18.040
<v Speaker 2>me on a remix for real, and we shoulda took

1:14:18.080 --> 1:14:19.600
<v Speaker 2>it up through that, right. I believe that would have

1:14:19.640 --> 1:14:22.120
<v Speaker 2>been crazy. Me and DJ Muster talking about doing some work. Now,

1:14:22.160 --> 1:14:23.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, we trying to get to the point of

1:14:23.400 --> 1:14:25.400
<v Speaker 2>me and Lama actually on a record together.

1:14:25.320 --> 1:14:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Right, So I'm cool with DJ Muster. Yeah, I'm cool

1:14:27.320 --> 1:14:27.920
<v Speaker 3>with DJ Muster.

1:14:28.000 --> 1:14:30.200
<v Speaker 2>We went through whatever we went through behind all that,

1:14:30.320 --> 1:14:31.920
<v Speaker 2>but now we're cool, So I feel good about that.

1:14:32.000 --> 1:14:34.200
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like, looking towards the future, the fans

1:14:34.240 --> 1:14:37.760
<v Speaker 2>could expect a sung from us Man, right, Yeah, uh,

1:14:37.840 --> 1:14:38.639
<v Speaker 2>I saw t Pain.

1:14:38.720 --> 1:14:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I he did a song. T Pain can really sing.

1:14:42.080 --> 1:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean he could really sing with id attle too. Yeah,

1:14:44.000 --> 1:14:44.479
<v Speaker 1>that my boy.

1:14:44.800 --> 1:14:46.439
<v Speaker 3>He was on my mixtapes like it's my boy.

1:14:46.640 --> 1:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no d the Pain can sing.

1:14:48.360 --> 1:14:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Saying on with Pain I wrote with ruh.

1:14:52.439 --> 1:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>So, so what what are your thoughts on OTTO two?

1:14:55.520 --> 1:14:57.760
<v Speaker 3>My thoughts on Auto too is everybody has it on

1:14:57.920 --> 1:14:58.439
<v Speaker 3>in the studio.

1:14:58.680 --> 1:15:00.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just about what lever you have it at, right

1:15:00.520 --> 1:15:02.400
<v Speaker 2>cause Atto two is really put there to keep you

1:15:02.520 --> 1:15:05.080
<v Speaker 2>on tune of the kid the song, right, So if

1:15:05.120 --> 1:15:07.720
<v Speaker 2>you singing out of kid, it just to keep you up.

1:15:07.800 --> 1:15:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Now, mind you you can have autotorna ottotoone. I still

1:15:10.280 --> 1:15:10.920
<v Speaker 3>hit the wrong note.

1:15:11.280 --> 1:15:13.040
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna just make you be able to sing, right,

1:15:13.280 --> 1:15:15.160
<v Speaker 2>but if you put it to a certain level, you

1:15:15.240 --> 1:15:16.880
<v Speaker 2>will be able to sing the level. T Pain got

1:15:16.920 --> 1:15:18.640
<v Speaker 2>it that he wanted to do that, right, cause you

1:15:18.680 --> 1:15:20.439
<v Speaker 2>could if you could really sing, you could hear through

1:15:20.560 --> 1:15:23.160
<v Speaker 2>T Paint, attotune and no Life a record really sing

1:15:23.200 --> 1:15:25.240
<v Speaker 2>for it right, like he just really playing with it, right,

1:15:25.280 --> 1:15:26.720
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. So it's just different levels

1:15:26.720 --> 1:15:28.519
<v Speaker 2>to the autotoe. You can have it on S forty.

1:15:28.600 --> 1:15:30.320
<v Speaker 2>You can have it on twenty ten or whatever you

1:15:30.400 --> 1:15:30.720
<v Speaker 2>wanted to.

1:15:31.479 --> 1:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>So alright, man, I man may go in the studio

1:15:33.320 --> 1:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and hit me and do a little up there.

1:15:36.400 --> 1:15:37.439
<v Speaker 3>Don't try to hit that stage.

1:15:41.080 --> 1:15:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think so you are you? You a

1:15:47.560 --> 1:15:48.639
