Plants 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:00.200 died in. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.960 The crib like you're in. I mean, I feel like 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:04.559 you've been you were in LA forever. 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.000 Yeah, I've been in LA for a while. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:08.680 I mean I have to move out, you know, Like 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.000 it feels like the I love La, man, I don't 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.160 hate LA. I love LA. I just think, you know, 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.680 you you eventually have to like move out to let 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.240 people know around you, like you really are on type shit. 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.680 Right you feel. I feel like you kind of also 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.880 like you've been through like so many different like you've 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.919 kind of been thrown into the blender of the music 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:31.640 industry and kind of spit out the other side. I 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.240 think about, like, you know, obviously the Rock Day shit RCA. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.639 It's just like, you know, I feel like you kind 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.160 of made like this like amazing music throughout your whole career, 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.240 but for whatever reason, like the label would never get 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:43.960 behind it the way I thought that they should. Like 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.800 I think about the nineteen eighty four hour, I'm like, yo, 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.640 this is this. You were kind of ahead of your time, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.880 like a lot of people, kind of everybody after that 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.440 after that yeah, yeah, we did. If you had sting 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:54.040 on that ship. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.560 Yeah, man, thank you, bro. You know, I also I 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.160 recently did, like the time while we had that interview 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.799 for nineteen eighty four, I was finishing Brooklyn Cowboy, which 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.800 is a country album. Yeah, that was twenty twenty, and 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.880 they were like, uh, we ain't doing no country album 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.520 and I ended up getting in a fight with the label. 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:12.800 So you were already working on it before it was 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.600 the thing, because that was one thing I saw you do, 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.760 the country thing, and I was like, well that's kind 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:17.320 of random. 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.200 Yeah. Yeah. I started the country album twenty nineteen, finished 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.120 it in twenty twenty, delivered it. They didn't want to 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.440 put it out. They said country is not the move. 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.520 That's just not it, and then four years later it 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.120 became the hottest shit. Yeah everybody. But I thought to 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.000 get that album because I wanted to own it. So 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.240 as soon as I was off RCA, started my own 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:41.880 label on February twenty third, which is you know, off 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.400 RCA O RCA is ORCA. That's how my label started, 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.440 off RCA, and I just felt yeah, off rc Yeah yeah, 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.360 so I kind of felt like, you know, I kind 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.160 of felt like I was a killer whale in SeaWorld. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.040 You know, labels is the sea World. So I said, yo, 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.680 fuck sea World. You know, started my whole shit, got 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.000 my own chain. I ain't wait for nothing. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.200 And that's a good good reper or a good uh 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:03.920 you know, I see it. 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.760 Thank you man. So yeah, just you know I've been 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.480 You're right though, I've been put in all this and 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.080 I do all types of music. I've always done it 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.440 since the beginning of my career. But you know, rap 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.640 and hip hop is like what got me started. If 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.719 you listen to every single album I've ever put out, 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.920 you always hear a hip hop or rap element, and 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.960 all the albums, you know, because the culture, I feel like, 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:25.960 you know, a lot of the songs that I was 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.839 sampled then rap are not. It's not hip hop or 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.640 rap music that sample is. They sample jazz, You sample 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.600 pop music, you know, So regardless, like the culture and 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.960 rap always is always involved in every genre. 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.080 Yeah, and you also were the first one of the 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:44.120 first artists I remember like, uh really kind of people 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:50.360 finding on Spotify. Yeah yeah, when yeah, like I think 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.600 it was when Tuma was running things like early rap Caviar, 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.640 Like I remember you like a lot of people like like, 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.640 that's I think that might be. I think i'd heard 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.320 of you, but I think I really like got hit 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.599 to the music just because you were on I forget 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:03.920 what playlist it was, but you were. 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:08.040 Like caveat facetop hits. I mean when those playlists mattered, 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.480 you know what I mean. Now it's just like whatever, Like. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.919 Yeah, I feel like the playlist nowadays are like I 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.200 don't know, man. You know, I always say that the 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.160 blog era was the ship back in the day because 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.320 there were gatekeepers, but at least they had a good taste. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.000 You know. That's what I'm saying. You know, it's so funny. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.280 Man just ran into this dude, Mecca, my boy. Shout 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:26.920 out to Mecca. Man just ran into him. I did 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.680 an interview. They got this new thing called Create Diggins. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.160 Yeah it was Mecca and Shake from Yeah. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.279 So shout out to Shake. Shout out to Mecca. I mean, yeah, 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.520 you're right. You just said it like they had taste. Nowadays, 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.000 it's just like people buying slots and stuff, you know. 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.760 Or it's just like numbers. It's like where's what's the algorithm? 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.039 And then there's like, okay, how much of this is 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.279 like because everybody who like at the end of the day, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.560 like if you're on a major label for the most 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.200 part and you're like a major priority, there is like 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.560 some level of like inflating the numbers. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.360 Yeah, I mean all the numbers is fake. You know 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:58.520 what I'm saying. I don't want to be up here 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.799 sounding like rustling shit, but like, you know, the reality 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.120 is a lot of the ship is fake. A lot 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.640 of the ship's bootleg. And you know it's like it's 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.159 like you can't see it. You like search the numbers 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.800 on your laptop, you see, Like why is like twenty 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:15.479 million people listening to this artist in Bangladesh? Like why 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.880 are they so popping in and the Philippines. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.279 Or in fucking like you know, Estonia, Russia something crazy? 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.520 Well, I can't say now Russia is lit because you know, 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.720 we sold fifteen thousand tickets in Russia, you know what 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.040 I mean? So you know Russia is really streaming. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.239 Year was this I don't even remember when the conflict 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.080 I don't know. I just try to figure that out now. 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:37.560 It was back in the day now, But yeah, my 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:42.360 manager did get taken taken and pushed the side they 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.120 had because this passport had a rip in and so 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.159 he had to wait for us to be finished with 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.920 the show. Yeah, it was kind of stressful over there, 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.960 but you know, fan base in Russia, Germany, Like when 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.960 I did Germany, I was opening up for Playbook Cardi. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.080 I was on tour Cardi and those kids. They just 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.320 love the underground ship. They don't really care about like 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.000 the number one song and this and that, Like you're 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.359 not really listening to the stuff Americans are listening to 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.359 over there. They like like Suicide Boys, they like like 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:11.680 Little Peep and shit like that. You know, bones so bones. Yeah. 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.880 It's crazy too because like a lot of fans, I 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:21.800 feel like they've been programmed to, like, you know, come 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.600 up with an opinion on an artist or a song 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.680 based on what their profile and Spotify looks like like 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.040 if you open up if you opened up some Spotify 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.400 profile and they only have like I don't know, ten 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.240 thousand monthly listeners like this shit, ain't it? Like Yeah, 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.080 I feel like it's a thing. I mean, you know, 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.960 the problem instead of finding artists, and the. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.480 Problem is people want people are listening with their eyes, 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.680 you know what I mean, and not theirs. And it's 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.480 sad because you know, you see the situation we in now. 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.560 It's like music has become so accessible people don't respect it, 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.120 and it's terrible. Back in our day, I mean talking 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.680 about me and we were just say, it's probably thirty eight, 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:01.040 I'm thirty four, Like same shit. Yeah, you know, it's 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:05.640 like you waited online, you grabbed a CD, you opened 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.680 it up, you read the lyrics, you cared about it, 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.480 you cared about what the artist had to say, the 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.880 package and everything, and it made you feel something like 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.120 when you held the CD, like this hard work. I 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:16.720 got this shit, you know what I mean. But now 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.880 it's like shit comes out at twelve. You just go 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.560 skim through it and then they fucking judge you based 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.800 on one listen, they skim right through it. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.040 And I'll do like like some of these streams just 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:26.640 so cringey. 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:27.680 Bro oh my god. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.400 D I saw and you know, I got love for 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.840 the Nelk Voys, but I saw Kyle from NELK and 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.760 Aiden Ross trying to talk about the Drake Kendrick Beefe 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.280 and it was like watching two blind people talk about 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.240 it hating. It was hilarious. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.240 I mean, what Tyler the creators say recently, he said, 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.320 some people don't deserve a mic or like some people 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:48.360 should not be able. 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.839 To, especially when it comes to like certain shit. It's like, yo, man, 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.439 like y'all talk about I don't know what the fuck 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.079 they talk about, but you know, just like leave the 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.560 rapture alone. But now it's interesting, like it's definitely a 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.000 thing because back then, like even if the album sucked, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.760 you spent your hard earned money on it, so you're 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.160 gonna do your damnest to find a song that you like. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.800 You like, like one song on there was like good enough, 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:09.199 you know what. 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:10.600 I'm like, all right, well, look at least I got. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.200 At least I got this joint that I can play 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:12.840 over and over again. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.200 But now it's like like you said, people once they 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.040 skimmed through it. If you know it's it's damn near. 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.560 It's fucked up. Man. You know, my father used to 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.280 work at Warner as a garbage man, and they used 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.400 to throw the CDs out months before it came out. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.400 The demos used to bring them home, and I would 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:28.880 just listen to them as a kid, and I would 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.200 pick the singles, you know, like with the ones I liked, 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.000 I would just like grab a pen and like circle 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.280 the ones I liked on a CD and they always 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:36.960 ended up being the singles on the radio too, which 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.320 is funny. So I like, somehow I ended up being 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.959 my own like immigrant and who didn't speak English, but 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.520 just love music, you know, love it. 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:49.600 Talk about like for you, you know, just what was 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.520 the motivation to you know, obviously come off of doing 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:56.000 a country album country so big, what was the motivation 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.480 to get back to the grimy rap shit? Because this 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.080 is really like your first like I would say, like 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.439 in terms of this pocket and hip hop like project. 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.160 Yeah, I mean I've always wrapped right, but never this 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.520 good right because. 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.720 Which was by choice. 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:17.959 Yeah, my father got sick and it kind of fucked 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.400 me up and I had to go back home, and uh, 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.240 I don't know, it was just like I've been through. 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.880 I had a hard four years in my life and 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.640 I don't know, it's just like kind of forgot what 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.040 reality was being in La right. 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.320 Yeah, LA's dude. If you could put in that industry blender, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.200 you end up in all these events. Yeah, just around 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.920 all these like super like finicky people who are only 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.000 around you because of what they think you could do 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:50.880 for them or. 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.760 Yeah, man, I mean I went to New York. You 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.160 know what I'm saying. I just got a whole family 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:02.599 in New York, and uh, shit got real, you know 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:08.680 what I mean, in my life and the weather change, 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.240 shit got real. I needed to feel something again, so 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.320 I started to pick up the shit that made me 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:15.840 fall in love with it, you know what I mean. 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:21.480 And I was like, I just love the shit. And 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:26.200 then I had my homie who from high school, my 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:31.160 boy a Jamal. She go by Jimmy Banks. He's one 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.520 of my favorite rappers. And I put him on the 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.160 album and I was like, you know what, it's time 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.720 for me to give back to the people that I 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.400 kind of grew up with. And I put him on 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.520 the album with me, and it was just like it 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.080 was like that. It was like Jordan Kobe, Like that's 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.880 how I felt in school. We would kill that shit 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.360 every lunch room. That was my homie. So I kind 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.240 of wanted to go back to why I started the shit, 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.520 because for a while, it just felt like music was 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.040 just sad and I hated these rappers so much. They're 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.520 so corny and they're lame, and in real life I 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.240 would never want to beat them, you know, And rap 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.880 was something that's so special and it got whack, it 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:08.680 got watered down. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.320 Do you feel like the era in which your entry 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.040 point in terms of like the mainstream of hip hop 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.720 did it kind of because you kind of came in 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:25.239 during I would say the Dark Ages. I always say 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.640 I did it kind of like just like like like 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.760 because when you when you're coveted and you're doing what 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.160 you do and you have the talent that you have, 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.280 and you've kind of seen like a lot of people, 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.400 you know, getting braced to where maybe you know, you 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.320 were you were with it at the you know, ground level, 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.959 and but then you see guys like uh, not even 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.440 to say names, just the SoundCloud era, just people were 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.440 getting signed off of antics and not music, and you 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.400 were like a true artist. So like I can only 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.600 imagine like coming in at that time and trying to 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.040 compete with funck shit for real. I mean it had 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.400 to be like it had to be like tough. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.400 I don't know, it was tough, you know what I mean, 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.480 But it was just like I was dealing with a 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.679 lot of weird shit too, Like at the time, like 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.200 I found, you know, I linked up with post Malone, 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.520 and like I was dealing with his shit, like where 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.679 we got into a beef because I dressed him up 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.480 for his first videos. His first video ever was my video, 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.360 you know what I mean. And it got weird because 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.400 he kind of jumped into my management, Austin Rosen, who 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.880 brought me into the music business. He's like the biggest 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.040 dude in music now and he's the one who discovered me. 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.079 I was homeless when he discovered me, you know what 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.120 I mean, Like I had nothing, and then you got 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.320 this kid post Malone who just comes into the picture 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.760 and it felt like like like a soul swap. It 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:48.520 was weird because like he wasn't really doing the sound 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.760 we was doing and rapping and doing all that, you know, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.559 and it felt like a soul swap. It was like weird. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.280 We kind of looked the same and it was so weird. 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.480 He like took the management. He took my management because 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.760 at the time it was just Dray London, yeah, who 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.760 was busting his ass to make the straight was killing 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.120 it for sure, yeah at the time. And then he 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.360 like grabbed my management and then he went and grabbed 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.800 my producer Lewis Bell, and they took the template and 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:14.800 just started doing. 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.880 So this had to have been because he was working 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.280 with the first and Charlie Hansen pretty rely. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:19.560 Yeah. 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.160 Yeah, that was before Charlie Hansen was Charlie Hansome. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.840 Yeah yeah, I mean those kids were and. 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.280 They had they had they had like three records on 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:28.280 sound three or four. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.760 Yeah yeah, yeah, but that was like he was doing 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.200 what iverson and all that, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:34.280 Yeah, one more, But. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.040 He wasn't doing like, he wasn't doing the ship that 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.880 I was doing, you know what I mean.
