Like 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.680 Birdman wanted me on a song called BOSSI on this album. 0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:03.120 I did the hook.

So there's 0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:11.439 a lot of songs that I was supposed to be on. 0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:14.879 Please excuse my hands. My background is still on that record, 0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:16.719 you know what I'm saying, cause I recorded it, you know. 0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:17.879 Shit like that. 0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.480 Certain certain things I was supposed to do, they were 0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:21.799 they were kind of just taking from me. 0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:25.680 And yeah, that was a tough time. But I had my. 0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:32.120 Mixtape out and those songs is bubbling and I'm finding 0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:34.680 the streets getting money. I'm getting money now, I'm getting 0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:37.520 twelve five a show and I'm getting compared to what 0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:39.359 you know what I'm saying. So I was getting I'm 0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:41.520 really getting money every So I was like, well, I 0:35:41.560 --> 0:35:43.640 don't care, I just put another mixtape song. 0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:45.920 I don't care. I never drop an album, you know 0:35:45.960 --> 0:35:46.480 what I'm saying. 0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:50.480 And Craig them was like, man, So during our lawsuit, 0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:52.400 he tried to depose. 0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:56.759 Julie Greenwall, which was a bad move on his part. 0:35:57.200 --> 0:36:00.359 What he yeah, exactly after they gave him all that money, 0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:04.640 he did that, and then ship, did you wrong? 0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:07.160 You know, I went to radio digit wrong? Did you wrong? 0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:09.400 It is top twenty. So right now they don't know 0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:11.080 if they're gonna be atlant it gonna pick me up or not. 0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:13.000 But you know, it's like, oh, you don't have no 0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:16.440 deal as a solo artist at this point, I don't know. 0:36:16.640 --> 0:36:19.280 This is your mixtape? Did you wrong? It's on your mixtape? 0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:21.080 Yeah, this is this is this is me? That's my 0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:21.600 word shit. 0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:24.719 Okay, all right, so then it's top twenty. Then Craig 0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:27.560 them finally says, okay, we're in. We're in the pleasure 0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:30.040 be business. And then you know they took that to 0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:33.279 like number two, and I signed that contract for that 0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:36.520 and my solo shit and basically. 0:36:37.239 --> 0:36:39.720 I'll never forget it. Baby. 0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:42.360 Blueting was going around saying, oh, well he's still signing 0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:44.400 to us, so you know the same shit easy he 0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.960 was doing the Ice QB. And for me, my ego 0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:50.000 is intact like nah, nigga, I wrote this record the 0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:52.680 top twenty. You know, y'all niggas had nothing to do 0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:55.080 with that. So you know, it was a thing to 0:36:55.120 --> 0:37:00.480 where his imprint would be on my album. If you 0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:02.360 know what I'm saying, why is this imprint on the 0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:04.800 on the charts? I ain't signing him, you know whatever? 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:08.439 Whatever, Because Atlantic ultimately had to do a deal where 0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:11.640 he had probably had an override on your new project 0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:16.200 and so that he would allow them to do your 0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:18.560 solo album. So that's how you in a sense ended 0:37:18.600 --> 0:37:19.880 up at Atlantic still. 0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:23.520 Right, So I said, you know what, man that you know, 0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:26.319 I'm thankful for everything he did for me. If it 0:37:26.360 --> 0:37:28.800 wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I'm at right now. 0:37:29.160 --> 0:37:32.640 So I gave him five hundred thousand dollars. Go your way, 0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:33.359 I go my way. 0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:36.120 And that was it, bro, you know what I'm saying. 0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:37.239 That was it. Yeah. I never had to go to 0:37:37.239 --> 0:37:37.799 court after that. 0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:39.880 We never we never had to go to court. But 0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:42.960 I could have. You know, I had the money, you 0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:44.600 know I'm saying I have.

I was like, y'all 0:58:31.080 --> 0:58:32.640 ain't gonna sit up here and play, you know what 0:58:32.720 --> 0:58:35.440 I'm saying, Like, no, bro, And that's just how I 0:58:35.520 --> 0:58:40.360 felt about it, and then formed the group. Yeah, we're friends, 0:58:40.840 --> 0:58:43.520 we're friends, but it's it's competitive right now. It's like 0:58:43.960 --> 0:58:48.120 we're playing basketball. We shipped talking basketball, we ship talking football. 0:58:48.360 --> 0:58:49.680 We shipp talking R and B too. 0:58:50.200 --> 0:58:52.120 Like I was like, somebody's gonna fight. 0:58:54.800 --> 0:58:56.160 And we got the most views too. 0:58:56.080 --> 0:58:59.880 Though, people asking me, and I was like this, listen, 0:58:59.920 --> 0:59:01.800 you can look at it one of two ways, right. 0:59:02.160 --> 0:59:04.840 You can look at it as you know, the aggressive 0:59:04.920 --> 0:59:07.200 side of it and the competitive side of it kind 0:59:07.240 --> 0:59:12.960 of overshadowed you know what these guys are capable of musically, 0:59:13.040 --> 0:59:14.800 I said, Or you can look at it as like 0:59:15.720 --> 0:59:18.880 that many people tuned in, that many people are now 0:59:19.000 --> 0:59:22.000 streaming their songs, that many people are now going to 0:59:22.080 --> 0:59:24.480 pull up to their shows. And I said, that's the win, 0:59:24.680 --> 0:59:27.000 because when you go into a versus space like the 0:59:27.120 --> 0:59:30.600 verses was more so kind of created in rap format. 0:59:31.000 --> 0:59:33.280 Sure wasn't totally designed for R and B guys, So 0:59:33.480 --> 0:59:35.960 R and B almost had to figure out a way 0:59:36.720 --> 0:59:40.080 to be seen, you know what I'm saying, to to 0:59:40.680 --> 0:59:44.640 have interaction in that space, and you guys organically did it. 0:59:44.720 --> 0:59:44.919 Y'all. 0:59:45.040 --> 0:59:48.400 Wasn't trying to be anything. Y'all was just really then 0:59:48.440 --> 0:59:51.760 people didn't know that. People didn't know that no niggas is. 0:59:53.440 --> 0:59:57.600 I think that's that's the confusing part for most of 0:59:57.680 --> 1:00:01.760 the public, is not realizing that the artists that you see, 1:00:02.640 --> 1:00:05.440 no matter what genre of music they're doing, we actually 1:00:05.560 --> 1:00:07.840 all come from the same place. We come from the 1:00:07.880 --> 1:00:11.600 same neighborhood. One just chose to rap about it and 1:00:11.640 --> 1:00:14.880 the other chose to sing about it our hoop or whatever. 1:00:15.240 --> 1:00:20.160 But we all literally come from this same places. So 1:00:22.040 --> 1:00:26.080 we're gonna react. We're going to react, you know what 1:00:26.080 --> 1:00:27.840 I mean? I just think that, Oh well, y'all s 1:00:28.000 --> 1:00:30.160 you know you sing love songs. I'm like, listen, man, 1:00:30.160 --> 1:00:32.480 I've been to music ban it's a long time.

So I'm 1:02:07.480 --> 1:02:09.480 just to a point to where I'm about to just 1:02:09.720 --> 1:02:11.960 you know, I gotta kick. 1:02:11.800 --> 1:02:12.240 The door down. 1:02:14.600 --> 1:02:16.520 Brother's always R and B money, man, I got to 1:02:16.600 --> 1:02:19.240 kick the door down.
