<v Speaker 1>we talk about this with my circle of friends, we

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about the record, and I think the best way

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I can explain it is that I found my voice right.

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Not not the way my voice sounds or the inflection

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>or of it. I'm talking about like I know what

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposed to say, I know how I'm supposed to

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>be talking. I know I know what my message is.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:15.440

<v Speaker 2>album May Pum Yes, And that was in twenty eleven twelve. Yeah,

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 2>so it's crazy to think, like, in the last twelve years, right,

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>you've been known for a lot of things in terms

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>of like your entrepreneurial shit. Right, you've been leveling up

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>in the weed game, and by the way, put out

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 2>some amazing stuff with the Serial Killers, Yes, Shout to

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Be Real and Deemrick. Yes, the last album you guys

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>dropped was fucking crazy yeah album. Yeah, Yes, it's not

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>a sam shit that But you know, like was there,

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 2>like you said, you found your voice, Like what was

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the motivation to get you cause you know, I know

0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 2>what it's like to own a bunch of businesses and

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 2>have your eye on so many different balls at the

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 2>same time. But it just, like I said, it just

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:08.079
<v Speaker 2>felt like you were just really like re engaged on

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>this album, like in a way that like I haven't

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>heard in a long time.

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, I think.

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I think how we all deal with different parts of

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>our life with stress and and finding other things to

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>do and you know, testing the boundaries, and I do that.

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 3>I like to take risks. I like to take.

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Chances, right, you know, film, television, even going into different

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>aspects of business. It's a risk, you know, because time

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>is the most valuable thing, so you got to spend

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>it wisely, right. And so as I'm doing these things

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'm you know, going out and venturing out. You

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>know when you have that that that thing that you

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>want to feel, you know, full, you don't want to avoid,

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. And I was feeling avoid

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>so and so when I started going back and you know,

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>working in the studio again, that's what you know. Actually

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it started when I started with I did a James

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Savage j O Felony. We did a project called James

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Savage and that really got.

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.799
<v Speaker 3>Me going first, and you know what I'm saying.

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>And once I produced that for him, then I started

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 1>like making records for myself again. And then I was like,

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>oh oh shit, you know what I'm saying. Like I

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>was finding what made me feel solid and feel that void,

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and so I only did records like that. Now we

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>have all kinds of you know, we did I don't know,

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>we did like fifty.

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Some records for this, for this that, this album.

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you know what I'm saying, and there, but there's

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>eighteen that made it, you know what I'm saying. And

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>so I feel really good and strong about everything on

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>this record, because I haven't had that before, you know

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, Like, even though I can go back

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to Restless and still hear things that I would have

0:04:58.920 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 1>did differently.

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Which song did you not like Onrestless? I'm just curious

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>which one you would have left off? Was there a

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 2>song that you like listen back that didn't age the greatest?

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 4>Asking which one is curious because I always wonder, like

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 4>back in the day, right back in the day, when

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 4>you're on a major label, sometimes the label would win

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 4>an argument on a song, you know what I mean,

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 4>Like maybe you were like I would have didn't focus

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 4>that song with the label wanted it on there, right.

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.359
<v Speaker 3>No, I feel like that about different records, but not

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 3>on Restless.

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, restlessess fucking yeah, I like that one, like one

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>of that. I wanted to ask you something I always wondered, right,

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>because sometimes like it frustrates me because I'm like a

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 2>fan of your ship from real like at the speed

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:48.239
<v Speaker 2>of life, like forty days, forty nights, like chamber music,

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 2>recard Molly, like oh my god, like just fucking amazing

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles times.

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Of course.

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>You become a star, which you know is I feel

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.359
<v Speaker 2>like it's very hard to be a certain level of

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 2>famous and you've achieved that level of fame through a

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>show like Pimp My Ride, through doing movies, through doing TV,

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 2>through doing films. But while doing all of that stuff,

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 2>there is like an entire generation of people that strictly

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 2>only associate you with those television shows, and or while

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 2>associating you as a rapper, discount your career as a

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>rapper because they just, oh, it's to pit my Ride. Guy.

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Was there ever, like the gift in the cause, I'm

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 2>never gonna call being on pim My Ride a curse

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 2>because that changed your life, right, But what was the

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>fame and the success of the other stuff in front

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:47.919
<v Speaker 2>of the camera. Did it take a hit like on

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:48.719
<v Speaker 2>the MU like, did it?

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Did it?

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Did it affect the music stuff in a negative way

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 2>at all?

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 2>I was the first, the first, right, because we didn't

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 2>have a TI reality show.

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>We had nobody is okay, so let's start. Let's start there.

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I was the first, so we didn't know at the

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>time what you know twenty some years later was going

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>to look like. So being the first, there was a

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of risk versus reward, you know what I'm saying

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I was too close to it in the beginning. But

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>as you know, now I look back and I can understand,

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>like this made me a global brand. This made me

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>somewhere where I can be. You know, the people who

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>don't even know I do music, they they know me, right,

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's something to start with, right, And so when

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>then you look at you know, Okay, so now everybody

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>that's in music is doing something other than music in

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>order to.

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Just everybody to get everybody's got their side quest to.

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Get it, to get the you know, use the music

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>as a backdroper and then be able to you know,

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>like put them put theirselves out, put themselves out there.

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>So I think that you know, the people that try

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>to dismiss the music because of the show, I don't know.

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Everybody is entitled to their opinion.

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 2>But was that something that you would like notice was

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 2>happening at the time, like once the show really popped off, Like.

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>No, it definitely bothered me, you know what I'm saying,

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.679
<v Speaker 1>because I was too close to it. Like I said,

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I wanted people to know me for one thing, but

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>then you know, they they recognized me and know me

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>for this other thing.

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 2>And then you're doing.

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I had, I had you and you and bust Ryan's

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 2>had a horrible movie I had. I bought that movie

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 2>from Hollywood Video. It was terrible, but I bought it

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and I watched that motherfucker that was on my shelf.

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, man, I appreciate I let him know.

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell yo, it's crazy. So my best friend I

<v Speaker 1>have because I've been like collecting.

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:26.680

<v Speaker 1>CDs like you know what I'm saying, like the like

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 1>the singles and the little promo CDs and you got

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 1>instrumentals and ship on there.

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's how everything was. Beat CDs, Like I

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:36.200
<v Speaker 2>got beats here you go.

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I got bet CDs from like man, you name it,

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I got them.

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Can you talk to me about, like, uh, how you're

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 2>feeling with the because you know, the West Coast has

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.719
<v Speaker 2>a very interesting opportunity right now to like take hip

0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 2>hop back be back on the forefront, right you know,

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, you know, me and Snooper talked about

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.679
<v Speaker 2>it a little bit. You know, the ball gets passed

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.320
<v Speaker 2>around and the South has had the ball for a

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 2>long time. Atlanta's had the ball for a long time.

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 2>But it does feel like with this Kendrick situation, that

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 2>there has been an opportunity to take the ball. You

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying, How do you feel about about

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 2>just like the West having that opportunity right now?

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 3>I feel the shift, you know, I feel it.

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, I think, I think timing is everything, you know,

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, to have these records, These records

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>weren't done like in three days or or within a

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>six week period, like we all have been working on

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>our own pace and whatever, and it just so happens

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>that everything everything lined up. Yeah, And I feel like

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 1>when things organically happen like that, it tends to be

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a movement. It turns, it shifts the time, you know.

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think there's a lot to be said in that.

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>And I think, you know, Kendrick Lamar being the two

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 1>but the spear, you know what I'm saying, and really

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>igniting a lot of a lot of that energy to

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 1>be uniform. So people are looking out for each other

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and hearing it and hearing each other and okay, cool.

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 1>So you know, now we're gonna do it. Now, We're

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna alley open now. You know what I'm saying. Now

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>we're on the court.

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying. It's it's feeling good. It's good.

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It's been such a crazy year for West Coast

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 2>hip hop. We were talking about Bence Staples, Tyler Cbe

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:29.119

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 1>with the whole project.

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 2>How did you end up signing with Connor McGregor's new one,

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 2>because when I saw you announce the label, yeah, and

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 2>then I want to Now you correct me if I'm wrong,

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 2>but I want to say Bone Thugs is on the

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 2>label as well.

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if that's done, but.

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean that was that's the intent. Okay, that was

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 2>at least in the air. Yeah, yeah, I don't know

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 2>the first person to sign.

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 3>No, I believe Bone was. You know what I'm saying.

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I believe they are, you know, but I don't want

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to speak you don't business Yeah, yeah, but I know

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 1>we were brought up second, but my project was more

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>close to being completed because I had already been working

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>right right, So that's why we were able to get in,

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>make the announcement, and.

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Boom, pull the trigger like I already got music ready,

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm ready to go.

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 2>But take me through the process, because a lot of

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 2>people might see Connor Gregor's got a record lab. We'll

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 2>be like, well, this is the tax right off for

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 2>this guy.

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 3>Now I said the same thing I was, you know.

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 3>But then.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Because we were getting close to being done with the

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 1>record and I wanted to, you know, start, I started

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>looking at ways to distribute it.

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>How are we going to put this out?

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 1>How now that I got the record, I want how

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 1>am I going to put it out? So we started

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 1>looking at everything, and you know, shout out to the

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.320

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>very inspired by that young man. And you know, he

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 1>got a movement going to and he's gonna do huge things.

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I went to go see you know,

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I familiar with all the DSPs and the sights and

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>all that other stuff. So I wanted something different because

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm at this point of where I am musically, I

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.480
<v Speaker 1>have very small windows of opportunity for me to be

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 1>totally transparent, for me to make the mark that I

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.439
<v Speaker 1>need to mark, and shift the tie.

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 2>And you gotta put some respect on the body of

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.479
<v Speaker 2>work you're sitting on. Correct, You don't want to just

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 2>don't throw it out, correct, be patient.

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 3>And so I was patient.

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 1>And so then the opportunity came from you know, shout

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.040
<v Speaker 1>out to Bobby D. Shout out to you know, Big Tato,

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 1>who've been with me for years now, you know what

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Like, we got a call and said that

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Connor McGregor was starting a record label and they wanted

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.239
<v Speaker 1>to hear some music. We sent him the music. They

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.320
<v Speaker 1>was like, fucking this is we want to do this,

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. So then I was like, well,

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck is kind of a what is gonna do?

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>But then they explained it's like okay, so here's the deal.

0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 1>So everything he does involves music.

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying. He has to pick this

0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 3>for this fight, he has to do that as he

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 3>trains to it. D da da da da.

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>He is very locked in on the music side, right,

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 1>And so I was like, yeah, listen to the music

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.080
<v Speaker 1>in marketing and promoting and selling music.

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 3>Three to seventeen thousand different.

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Things, right, And so he's like, okay, well just let's

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of have a conversation. We went out to Marba, Spain,

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.399
<v Speaker 1>and uh, well, first we went to Ireland and I

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:54.399
<v Speaker 1>met the team of people that he wants to form

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.959
<v Speaker 1>green Back Records with, right, and so there's there's some

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 1>business side of people that you know, do a multitude

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.400
<v Speaker 1>of things in the in the McGregor world. But then

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.959
<v Speaker 1>there's you know, people he brought in specifically to do

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the record side of things. And these people have worked

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.440
<v Speaker 1>in the in the buildings, they've been in their music

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>people with the business people. So I wanted to get

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 1>check that out. I was like, okay, cool, that makes

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 1>me feel a lot better, you know what I'm saying.

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 1>And so from there we went to to actually meet

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Connor and then sat down you know, got to see

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:30.199
<v Speaker 1>the Bare knuckle Box and ship. I No, that was

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 1>in Spain, man, So so that's basically how it happened.

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:36.639
<v Speaker 1>And then when we come home, you know, it was

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 1>just like okay, it's time to go. We're gonna push go.

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.200
<v Speaker 1>And we pushed the button and that ship's working, you

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, Like it's fucking working.

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 2>So because we've seen athletes try to do the label things,

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 3>But he's not in it like that.

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I know what I'm saying, But we've seen it, right,

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.159
<v Speaker 2>like we've seen it. It's it's very I don't know

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 2>if it's ever worked, to be honest.

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.160
<v Speaker 3>No, no, it's it's not because he's.

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.280
<v Speaker 2>But usually it's like to be fair at you. Usually

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 2>like football players and basketball players that also kind of

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:03.400
<v Speaker 2>want to wrap.

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, he's not. He's not trying to rap whatsoever.

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.919
<v Speaker 2>So, like you guys have that initial condo and like,

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 2>was there anything he said to you that made you

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of be like, yeah, fuck it, let's let's let's

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 2>give this a try.

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 1>He's approaching it differently, and he's not jaded by any

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.680
<v Speaker 1>of the record politics that we all know about, right,

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 1>He's he's he's literally looking at this like fight promotion.

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I love that, you know, a different way to approach

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 2>to do it.

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, were talking about we're talking about approaching it like that.

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.800
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, Like really like build it

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 1>in that fashion and and and that's exciting to me,

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, Like again, the risk versus reward.

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.919
<v Speaker 1>I've never been afraid to step out on faith, you

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying.

0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 2>So, and like, dude, the video has been insane.

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's working.

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what I'm saying. You said that that boat,

0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:59.680
<v Speaker 2>there's a boat in the video you have and that's

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 2>it's it's that's that's Connor's Lamborghini boats.

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, it looks crazy. Yeah, it's dope.

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad man shout out to uh the big the

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 1>big Mac. You know, let me use his boat, like dope.

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Would you say there's any misconceptions about that guy because

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm I'm I would say I'm like a surface

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 2>level fight fan, but not like super in it, you know.

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I see.

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:27.919
<v Speaker 1>You know now that we've been you know, collaborating, you know,

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 1>people like you want to see him fight. You know,

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the stuff in the press about the whatever suit or

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:36.159
<v Speaker 1>whatever he's.

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Got going on.

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:43.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, look, dude, I gotta look at it like this.

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:46.959
<v Speaker 1>If he can't stay down with the people in their

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.439
<v Speaker 1>dark times, you don't deserve to stand up with him

0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 1>in the light you know facts.

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 2>So you know, like he denies the whole thing, Yeah understood.

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, but I mean there's no criminal charges. You know,

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:01.399
<v Speaker 1>it was a silk suit, So I'm not gonna get

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of it.

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get into the you know, the

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>weeds with that.

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 1>But right, right, But but I do I do feel like, okay, cool, yeah,

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, Like we just started collaborating,

0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and from what I've seen, you know what I'm saying,

0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the dude is doing the best he can.

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Great businessman too, Like his whiskey is fucking huge.

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I think they, I think they actually, you know,

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>went as far as you know, trying to distance themselves

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:26.360
<v Speaker 1>from Connor McGregor.

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:29.200
<v Speaker 3>And you know, like, dude, you know.

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh the whiskey company did. Yeah, I saw that right right,

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.879
<v Speaker 2>which is crazy because he's just like, like, you know,

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:39.879
<v Speaker 2>there's no well, yeah, I mean, it is what it is.

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 3>It is what it is.

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.399
<v Speaker 1>But but again I'm I'm I'm I stay down, you

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm.

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Saying, like, and and I don't. I don't. I don't.

0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:49.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't desert my people in their time of need. So,

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, shout out to the McGregor family, shout out

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to his wife and kids. You know, that's that's who's important,

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. So I see him actively,

0:22:58.000 --> 0:22:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, doing that.

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, And I also feel like there was just

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things that didn't line up with that

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.040
<v Speaker 2>whole situation where you look.

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 1>But that's not that you can't even get into the

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 1>weeks with that either, for sure, you know, what I'm saying.

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.880
<v Speaker 1>But but again it's like you know when you when

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you make a character judgment and you decide to align

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:18.399
<v Speaker 1>yourself with someone, you know what I'm saying, Like, you

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 1>gotta trust your gut, and my gut tells me that

0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 1>we did the right thing.

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Take me back. So you come to LA you were

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 2>was there a certain point in time you were in

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Was it New Mexico or Arizona.

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 3>New Mexico, New Mexican Albuquerque to be exactly.

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you end up in Los Angeles. You end up

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:47.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of getting in with the Liquid Crew, which you

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>would have been like the Licks, King T, the Farii

0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:57.360
<v Speaker 2>and those guys. How do you initially get signed Aloud?

0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Because at that time Loud was they had the I

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:01.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know if they had the Lick Shit. I don't

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 2>know were you first or was the Licks first?

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 3>Alcoholics are first?

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 2>So they had like twenty one and over and Shit,

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:08.680
<v Speaker 2>which was a great album. So was that kind of

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 2>your pathway to getting on Steve Riff kids? Like? Uh?

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Actually, actually King T put me on first through a

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 1>production group called three sixty with James Broadway. Okay, so

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that's how I kind of like learned you know, they

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 1>were the first people I knew with record deals. So

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.200
<v Speaker 1>being around King T is how I met the alcoholics.

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 2>And King T's one of them more like I would

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:37.280
<v Speaker 2>say underrated hip hop figures on the West Coast maybe ever,

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's up there, you.

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Know, like absolutely, yeah, he's one of the forefathers, like

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:42.360
<v Speaker 1>he was.

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Out he's behind so much shit exactly.

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. But King T gave me my first opportunities in

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:50.400
<v Speaker 1>hip hop.

0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:51.480
<v Speaker 3>And so.

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:56.120
<v Speaker 1>From there, I never made a demo, I never made

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 1>a tape. I never made any of that kind of stuff.

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I was only on King T. He's you know, Keing

0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 1>T for Life album and I did a song called

0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Freestyle Ghetto and that was that was kind of like

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:11.160
<v Speaker 1>my demo and it was like out on the record.

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>And so from there, we were doing a show at

0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Glam Slam, which was Prince's nightclub downtown LA, and we

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>were about to go out because I used to go

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and due to ad libs and support for the alcoholics

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 1>on that show and then sometimes I'd be able to

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>freestyle the stuff at the end if they had a

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>spot for me, I would get down. And so we

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>was about to go on and Steve record was acting.

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 1>He's like, hey, I want to sign you just like

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:41.720

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:47.960
<v Speaker 2>And then when you're working on At the Speed of Life,

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.240
<v Speaker 2>you got records on there like Paparazzi in Los Angeles

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Times and just an amazing It was like an undergrounded

0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 2>West Coast album really, because you know, like it was

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of like I feel feel like, is it safe

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.199
<v Speaker 2>to say, like the what you See is What You

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Get video kind of like made more the most, Like

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 2>it got you the most attention at that time, hm hmm,

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:13.920
<v Speaker 2>because it was it was like a one on one

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 2>video is obviously on your second album, But I feel

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:18.400
<v Speaker 2>like At the Speed of Life was a very under

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 2>the radar project.

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, Papa Rozzi was the biggest look from the

0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:22.919
<v Speaker 1>first album.

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 3>The video.

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 1>The video was the Orchestra on the Beach, got a

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:31.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of got a lot of run. I still performed

0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 1>that song today in my set. What You See Is

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>What You Get was great on a couple different levels,

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it showed the creativity that I wanted to have

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 1>injected into my visuals and what I was capable of.

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 2>For people who don't know it was like the first

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 2>one take constant shot video.

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 3>No edits, you know there was no it was edits.

0:26:57.200 --> 0:26:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh there was.

0:26:57.880 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 3>There was thirteen edits in that video.

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 2>The chops.

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you know there's a bunch of stuff in

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:07.720
<v Speaker 1>that video I can point out, but you know, what

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you see is what you get. Definitely got creatively out

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 1>there and got the conversation going. But you know, it

0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:21.399
<v Speaker 1>also allowed me to be put on like, you know,

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:22.640
<v Speaker 1>an award show.

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying, or it was.

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 1>It was a real big moment, and yes, I was

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 1>really excited to go forward from that, but Steve didn't

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:37.320

<v Speaker 1>you know, we gotta wait with a whole.

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like because like that whole pocket of

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 2>artists right like, and I feel like even like, uh

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 2>we mentioned Afari ev Rocker dilated all those guys, but

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 2>I kind of feel like just that pocket of underground

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 2>la rap was you, the Licks, King, t the FARII

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:52.160
<v Speaker 2>feel the agony all those guys. I just feel like,

0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 2>man like that was such a I feel like when

0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 2>we talk about West Coast hip hop like a lot

0:28:56.960 --> 0:29:00.240
<v Speaker 2>of times, like those guys get kind of like left

0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 2>out of the conversation and they're so like, like your

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 2>rap life, Tash's rap life, it's such a great alp.

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So so here's the thing. People have to identify

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:17.240
<v Speaker 1>things by name, right, So if you look at you know,

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the g Funk era to death Row era, people know, yeah,

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 1>all the exactly people want to name something, right, So

0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 1>we came after the death Row era and all these

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 1>other things. We were right in the middle right before

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, my era started my graduating class, and so

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you know we've started calling it like West Coast Lyricists, right, because.

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 2>At that time there's there's like Preestyle Fellowship and you

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying. Yeah, and even guys like Roscoe and.

0:29:58.440 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then you had you know, Crooked Eye was

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, like.

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Part of Asia.

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all these like West Coast lyricists because that was

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:10.239
<v Speaker 1>our that was that was our angle, that was what

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:12.400
<v Speaker 1>we were doing, you know what I'm saying. Like, And

0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that kind of sums it up. So now

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you can come to mind and think of all these

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 1>other artists that were around that that genre. You know

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:21.440
<v Speaker 1>where I am comes out of.

0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 2>That graduating Yeah, I mean I think about that. That

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:25.560
<v Speaker 2>first Black Eyed Peas album.

<v Speaker 1>And White Yes slapped the ship out of Robert.

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:01.480

<v Speaker 1>Fuck that I was. I was definitely feeling myself, but

0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, we had to we had to find a

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:12.240
<v Speaker 1>common ground and uh yeah man, yeah, I'm glad it

0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:13.240
<v Speaker 1>worked out the way it did.

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean it did. Uh what was it?

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 5>Like?

0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Can you take me into the session where you're working

0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:26.160
<v Speaker 2>on what's the difference? Because that is we talked about

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:29.960
<v Speaker 2>posse cuts earlier. That's another all timer. You know your

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 2>verse obviously Eminem's versus fucking crazy, but I feel like

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:36.560
<v Speaker 2>you're Lyne. What's the difference between me and about five

0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Baker counts three out of two vehicles? I feel like

0:33:40.720 --> 0:33:43.440
<v Speaker 2>just an all time verse on that album. What was

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:44.959
<v Speaker 2>that studio session?

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it was at Larrabie. I think it was

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 1>at Larrabie and it was like one of the last

0:33:57.040 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 1>things that we worked on before for no, I'm thinking

0:34:04.160 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 1>about the X record. That was my that was that,

0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 1>that was that record. But in that session, Dre was there,

0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I think Scott Stortch was there engineers, and I think

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that's it.

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:23.959
<v Speaker 3>Down.

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh we didn't hear I didn't hear I didn't hear that.

0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:30.759
<v Speaker 1>I didn't hear anything until I laid my verse and

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:33.759
<v Speaker 1>so he's like, you got something for this, yeah, yeah,

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 1>And then went over there and uh, you know smashed it.

0:34:39.760 --> 0:34:42.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, of course, you know, you know, got the

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>direction from Dre, you know, made sure that it was

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 1>right in the pocket and had everything delivered in the

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:51.920
<v Speaker 1>right way the way he wanted to hear it, and uh,

0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:56.360
<v Speaker 1>that was it. So then I think Dre's verse was

0:34:56.360 --> 0:34:58.839
<v Speaker 1>on it, you know what I'm saying. And then when

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:02.240
<v Speaker 1>he put it all together, it came out crazy crazy

0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:04.400
<v Speaker 1>that could that could That beat was just at the

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 1>time when you heard it come on, it was like

0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:09.439
<v Speaker 1>it was it was a highlight, you know what I'm saying.

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:12.040
<v Speaker 1>It was it was it was not just like you

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 1>know it was at the top of the record. It's

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:16.400
<v Speaker 1>just like Showcase, this is this is gonna be a

0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:16.880
<v Speaker 1>big one.

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you and Eminem have had some amazing moments on

0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:24.080
<v Speaker 2>records together. Don't approach me as.

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:25.640
<v Speaker 3>A great record by the way, thank you?

0:35:25.920 --> 0:35:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Uh bitch please to ended up on his album, yeah,

0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:34.280
<v Speaker 2>which was random as fuck. Yeah, like, how fuck Eminem

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:35.320
<v Speaker 2>get the second bitch please?

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:37.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? It was good.

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Can you talk about your guys' relationship because obviously you're

0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 2>on tour with him to the up and Smoke tour.

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Eminem's not quiet Eminem yet, but he's still Eminem. You know,

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 2>he came out in the fucking jumpsuit and ship. Yeah yeah,

0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:52.879
<v Speaker 2>but what was what was y'all's like friendship like and

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:56.120
<v Speaker 2>and and like. Your guys' chemistry was pretty crazy on songs.

0:35:56.239 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 3>No, it was good, man.

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I think we just cut from the same cloth as

0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:03.200
<v Speaker 1>far as where our taste in hip hop is right. So,

0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, everybody has their own original way of presenting themselves,

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he's definitely, you know what I'm saying,

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:14.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the greatest you know what I'm saying, And

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:20.239
<v Speaker 1>so seeing him, you know now from then is dope

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to be able to see how the integrity of what

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 1>he's doing is still intact and still in place. So

0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, we we were definitely were in the same circles.

0:36:31.239 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I can't say, you know, like we

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:37.520
<v Speaker 1>had like the best of friendship. I think they're like

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:42.200
<v Speaker 1>denying it together. Yeah, yeah, denying and and Royce and

0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, like his family is Paul

0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:47.759
<v Speaker 1>and Tracy that you know, like he's he's with his

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:50.440
<v Speaker 1>people's you know what I'm saying. But when we do interact,

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:55.320
<v Speaker 1>it's love, you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah.

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Can you speak to like because you got Royce on

0:36:56.680 --> 0:37:01.680
<v Speaker 2>the new album? Yes, uh he fucking spazed out a yeah,

0:37:01.719 --> 0:37:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Royce is I always tell everybody I think, like at

0:37:03.719 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 2>the skill of rapping, you know, you gotta talk black thought,

0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 2>you gotta talk question. There's just names that like we

0:37:09.120 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 2>don't hear enough. It's like, yo, like Royce is up

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:14.080
<v Speaker 2>up you know Loop is up there too. I mean

0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 2>like there's a few. But uh with this new album, man,

0:37:19.440 --> 0:37:23.640
<v Speaker 2>you're you're like you are. I don't I don't know

0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 2>how much I could give away about the album because

0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 2>you did play it for me and it's not come

0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:32.640
<v Speaker 2>until February, but you have a great uh mixture of

0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 2>like OG's. I guess guys from your class, I would say,

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 2>and then you have some new younger artists. But it

0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't feel like See, this is the thing that I

0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:45.440
<v Speaker 2>feel like when like artists I grew up listening to

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:50.840
<v Speaker 2>work with younger artists, it feels forced. It feels forced,

0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:55.360
<v Speaker 2>and it's just like yo, like I don't want to

0:37:55.400 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 2>hear you on their ship, like I don't mind, you

0:37:59.560 --> 0:38:01.440
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. And so with your new album,

0:38:01.480 --> 0:38:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you brought people to at your world.

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:07.719
<v Speaker 2>And what I appreciate about this project is it feels

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:15.040
<v Speaker 2>like an exhibit album. Yes, it doesn't feel like you're washed.

0:38:15.400 --> 0:38:17.400
<v Speaker 2>And I mean that, bro. You know you know what

0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about though, because you'll hear some of these

0:38:22.239 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 2>but you'll hear some of these o gs and they'll

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:27.200
<v Speaker 2>put out some new ship and you'll be like this,

0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 2>we don't want we don't want to hear this from you.

0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:32.239
<v Speaker 2>That's what I appreciated about about the Cube single. It's

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:34.399
<v Speaker 2>my ego. I said, this is some fucking ice Cube ship.

0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:35.880
<v Speaker 2>This is what I want to hear from ice Cubes.

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to hear it, you know, Yeah, put

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:45.880
<v Speaker 2>that being said, this album feels like, like you know, the.

0:38:45.920 --> 0:38:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Time, I don't think I needed to conform. I don't

0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:56.200
<v Speaker 1>think I needed to go set find a new sound

0:38:57.520 --> 0:39:00.759
<v Speaker 1>or try to do what's current. I think I just

0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:04.560
<v Speaker 1>need to do what I do extremely well. And I

0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 1>think the quality and standard of people that you know,

0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:12.920
<v Speaker 1>like music, that it has it, you know. Like you said,

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I think people, regardless of how they know me, regardless

0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of what they know me from, I deserve one listen

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:24.080
<v Speaker 1>for sure, you know what I'm saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:39:24.160 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Before you dismiss it, before you say I fuck you,

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:28.760
<v Speaker 1>fuck him, whatever, you know what I'm saying, or whatever

0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:32.680
<v Speaker 1>you want to come and blast the comments or whatever,

0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:37.359
<v Speaker 1>just one listen, give it, give it, give it one run.

0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:41.080
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying. I think the game on me.

0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:47.520
<v Speaker 2>That you have somehow, you're one of the people who

0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:54.240
<v Speaker 2>doctor Dre has always just had uh an insane amount

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:57.560
<v Speaker 2>of love for since you've gotten into his you know circle,

0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I would say, right, I feel like Dre has always

0:40:00.600 --> 0:40:02.399
<v Speaker 2>had your back behind the scenes. I've heard that he's

0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 2>always had your back. You know, he may or may

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:08.280
<v Speaker 2>not have had your back on this album.

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:09.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:40:12.440 --> 0:40:15.000
<v Speaker 2>What what do you do you remember like kind of

0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:18.319
<v Speaker 2>like when you and Dre like kind of hit like

0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 2>a real momentum, like oh, like we're this is this

0:40:21.280 --> 0:40:24.200
<v Speaker 2>is like a this is not a music relationship, This

0:40:24.320 --> 0:40:28.520
<v Speaker 2>is not a label head relationship. This is like a

0:40:28.560 --> 0:40:30.040
<v Speaker 2>brotherhood type shit. You know.

0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think over the time that we spent making

0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:36.799
<v Speaker 1>those records and then being able to see you know,

0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:42.760
<v Speaker 1>that might my outside studio activities were just as strong

0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 1>as my inside studio activities, meaning that you know, I'm

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to get the job done. I'm not here for

0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the bullshit. You know what I'm saying, like to be

0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:53.959
<v Speaker 1>an asset. I want to be an.

0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Asset, not a liability, correct, And.

0:40:56.239 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>So that's always been my drive, you know. You know,

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:01.680
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I fail.

0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:04.840
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying all that everybody's.

0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Perfect, but you know I most ninety nine percent of

0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:13.719
<v Speaker 1>the time I hate the mark, right, And so now

0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 1>being able to you know, go forward and you know,

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:20.919
<v Speaker 1>like families be involved and people know, you know, our

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:25.160
<v Speaker 1>personal lives, you know, our you know discussed, you know,

0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:28.359
<v Speaker 1>we we built it over time, and you know, I

0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:31.760
<v Speaker 1>think that you know, when people get around certain individuals

0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and they I think people's intentions and you know, whatever

0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:41.120
<v Speaker 1>they they override the desire to be a good person, right.

0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:44.319
<v Speaker 1>I think he experiences that more than anybody. But he's

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:47.759
<v Speaker 1>he's definitely in ConTroll of his his his circle of

0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:51.000
<v Speaker 1>people that he decides to associate with. I'm just you know,

0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm blessed enough to be able to, you know,

0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:57.200
<v Speaker 1>have those conversations with him and talk about things other

0:41:57.280 --> 0:41:59.800
<v Speaker 1>than music, and you know, I get a little I

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of wisdom and a lot of you know,

0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:06.920
<v Speaker 1>like good direction, you know, saying because he's seen it all.

0:42:07.040 --> 0:42:10.279
<v Speaker 1>So he's built you know, empires and you know he's

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:12.920
<v Speaker 1>seen him crumble and you don't built him again, you know.

0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:15.120
<v Speaker 3>What I'm saying. So there's a lot of there's a lot.

0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Of good ship you can learn, you know, and discussions

0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:20.279
<v Speaker 1>with him, you know, And I'm glad. I'm glad I

0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 1>had that relationship with him.

0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:24.560
<v Speaker 2>When you guys were in those two thousand and one sessions,

0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:27.160
<v Speaker 2>did you guys have I mean, it's still dre right.

0:42:28.400 --> 0:42:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Should Knight try to drop like the hater chronic two

0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 2>thousand with the fake snoop?

0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, that's why, that's why, that's why he named

0:42:37.400 --> 0:42:38.359
<v Speaker 1>it two thousand.

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:43.400
<v Speaker 6>And one, not come out two thousand and one, but

0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:46.480
<v Speaker 6>but like was like the y'all like because that I

0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:48.759
<v Speaker 6>always I do make the argument a lot.

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I think two thousand and one age better than the

0:42:50.960 --> 0:42:52.960
<v Speaker 2>first Chronic. Like to me, like two thousand and one

0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:56.359
<v Speaker 2>sounds like it could have came out today personally for me.

0:42:57.200 --> 0:42:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so if you go listen to Okay, so look,

0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:04.000
<v Speaker 1>records are phenomenal, and but you know, if you don't

0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:06.720
<v Speaker 1>get the first Chronic, you don't get the second one.

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:12.479
<v Speaker 1>Of course, so the first Chronic, the dynamics to those

0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 1>mixes are phenomenal because if you listen to that record,

0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I remember how it shifted everything.

0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:23.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, that's the tree that just comes from

0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:26.239
<v Speaker 2>just that album. It's forever, like.

0:43:27.719 --> 0:43:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Come on, man, it's it's it's things on the it's

0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:33.880
<v Speaker 1>things on there that kind of set the standard for

0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:35.960
<v Speaker 1>like the next ten to twenty years of music.

0:43:37.080 --> 0:43:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, fu yeah, I mean my opinion, Dog, your

0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Style is the greatest, if not the greatest album ever,

0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:45.440
<v Speaker 2>it's it's the great I mean, it's it's one or

0:43:45.480 --> 0:43:49.360
<v Speaker 2>two for me. Yeah, sure, absolutely, And that obviously is

0:43:49.400 --> 0:43:54.440
<v Speaker 2>a direct cause and effect from the chronic. Yes, but

0:43:54.600 --> 0:43:57.680
<v Speaker 2>uh yo, what have you have you been able to

0:43:57.680 --> 0:43:58.520
<v Speaker 2>sit with missionary?

0:43:59.160 --> 0:43:59.440
<v Speaker 3>I have?

0:44:00.120 --> 0:44:04.439
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I listened to it the first go round,

0:44:04.480 --> 0:44:07.480
<v Speaker 2>right and I was like, Okay, this is first, but

0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:09.799
<v Speaker 2>you probably you've already been hearing it.

0:44:10.520 --> 0:44:11.239
<v Speaker 3>I was in there.

0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like I was.

0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I was in there with him listening to it and

0:44:15.600 --> 0:44:18.760
<v Speaker 1>listen when I'm biased already.

0:44:18.840 --> 0:44:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I love the album.

0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:22.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm biased. I love I love I love everything my team.

0:44:22.840 --> 0:44:23.719
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what I'm saying?

0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:28.520
<v Speaker 1>But I think people got to know that Snoop is

0:44:28.600 --> 0:44:31.680
<v Speaker 1>a global brand. He is making music. He feels good

0:44:31.760 --> 0:44:34.239
<v Speaker 1>right now. He just got done during the Olympics. You

0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:36.920
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, like like this is a direct

0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 1>representation of how good and how much fun he's.

0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Having and he's but he is also wrapping his ass.

0:44:42.080 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Off so fucking loly. You know what I'm saying. I

0:44:44.719 --> 0:44:47.560
<v Speaker 1>heard it through the Big Speak crank. You know what

0:44:47.600 --> 0:44:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, Like, come on, the production is immaculate. Snoop

0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:53.680
<v Speaker 1>is at an all time high on his game. You

0:44:53.680 --> 0:44:54.560
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, Like.

0:44:54.680 --> 0:44:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I think I think it's an album that like I'm

0:44:57.560 --> 0:44:59.759
<v Speaker 2>on my fourth listen at this point and I'm like, yo,

0:44:59.800 --> 0:45:01.440
<v Speaker 2>this ship is amazing.

0:45:01.880 --> 0:45:04.879
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely to catch you off guard a little, the first list, Yeah,

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:08.319
<v Speaker 7>like you going in with expectations, don't don't go in

0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:11.759
<v Speaker 7>expecting it here doggy style, because you know that was then,

0:45:11.840 --> 0:45:12.399
<v Speaker 7>this is now.

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:15.279
<v Speaker 2>I think they pulled it off. And that fucking Tom

0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Petty jelly roll record should be like number one in

0:45:17.520 --> 0:45:21.239
<v Speaker 2>the world. Like that song is the fucking smash no

0:45:21.680 --> 0:45:27.000
<v Speaker 2>incredible body work. You uh have had so many different

0:45:27.080 --> 0:45:32.560
<v Speaker 2>parts of your career, uh, you know, movies, uh, TV,

0:45:32.800 --> 0:45:34.799
<v Speaker 2>fucking the music and the music has always been a

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:40.239
<v Speaker 2>constant in some capacity. What's the worst movie you ever

0:45:40.239 --> 0:45:45.680
<v Speaker 2>been in? I told ice Cube his worst movie was

0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:49.480
<v Speaker 2>a movie you were in by the way that she

0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:56.840
<v Speaker 2>was crazy, that she was unbelievable. He said it was

0:45:56.920 --> 0:45:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Ghost of Mars, and I was like, probably right, that's

0:45:58.760 --> 0:46:00.000
<v Speaker 2>probably worth the Triple X two.

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:06.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:46:06.520 --> 0:46:13.680
<v Speaker 5>I think I think it's full clip. I think it's

0:46:13.719 --> 0:46:16.640
<v Speaker 5>a full clip. I think it is I think I

0:46:16.680 --> 0:46:19.600
<v Speaker 5>think it's bad. I think it's really bad.

0:46:21.360 --> 0:46:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh bad, oh man, Yeah, yeah, I like the

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:30.719
<v Speaker 1>other you know, but I agree that like Triple X

0:46:30.760 --> 0:46:34.400
<v Speaker 1>two was was a turning point for me, right because

0:46:34.800 --> 0:46:37.120
<v Speaker 1>it was the first movie role that I had with

0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:41.080
<v Speaker 1>a like a major, major motion picture, like.

0:46:41.000 --> 0:46:42.279
<v Speaker 2>A blockbuster franchise.

0:46:42.560 --> 0:46:44.280
<v Speaker 3>Correct, And it was an offer.

0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Right, I'm I'm not an actor, you know at this point,

0:46:47.560 --> 0:46:50.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not an actor. Here's a here's an offer. You

0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:54.280
<v Speaker 1>want you to be a ice cube triple X? Oh yeah, stunts,

0:46:54.360 --> 0:46:59.600
<v Speaker 1>what tanks? Yeah, let's do it. So go do the

0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:02.839
<v Speaker 1>film and now it's premier. Now the thing about television,

0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 1>because you know, they obviously wanted at the time, pim

0:47:06.600 --> 0:47:10.640
<v Speaker 1>My ride was at a super hot you know, right,

0:47:10.680 --> 0:47:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and so fucking I was gonna put acids in the seats.

0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:18.239
<v Speaker 1>So the straight offering never had an acting think. I

0:47:18.280 --> 0:47:19.719
<v Speaker 1>was like, I got this. You know, how hard can

0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:22.360
<v Speaker 1>it be? I do fucking music videos. Fucking what the fuck?

0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:26.080
<v Speaker 1>So I do the film. And then the difference about

0:47:26.120 --> 0:47:30.200
<v Speaker 1>TV is that in film is that your face is

0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:32.440
<v Speaker 1>like seventy feet high.

0:47:32.320 --> 0:47:32.960
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying.

0:47:33.320 --> 0:47:37.160
<v Speaker 1>So you're looking at your face at the fucking gigantic level,

0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:40.560
<v Speaker 1>and you if you don't know what you're doing, it

0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:43.440
<v Speaker 1>looks like you don't know what you're doing, right, And

0:47:43.520 --> 0:47:47.799
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I'm you know, I'm looking at this play.

0:47:47.840 --> 0:47:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this is fucking horrible.

0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:53.000
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying. I'm like looking at myself like, ooh,

0:47:53.280 --> 0:47:55.000
<v Speaker 3>this fucking night even you know.

0:47:55.000 --> 0:47:58.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not that bad, but it's just stiff, and it's

0:47:58.520 --> 0:47:59.640
<v Speaker 1>not there's no life.

0:47:59.640 --> 0:48:00.359
<v Speaker 3>It's just like.

0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:05.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, an actor, Yeah, you're getting through the script.

0:48:05.080 --> 0:48:07.040
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, fuck, they let me do this

0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:09.040
<v Speaker 1>ship and I was like, okay, so this is never

0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:09.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen again.

0:48:10.200 --> 0:48:11.120
<v Speaker 3>So I'm always going.

0:48:11.120 --> 0:48:13.240
<v Speaker 1>To be prepared and I got to take this serious

0:48:13.320 --> 0:48:15.120
<v Speaker 1>if I'm because I like the experience.

0:48:15.160 --> 0:48:17.640
<v Speaker 3>I love the experience. Right, So.

0:48:19.040 --> 0:48:22.480
<v Speaker 1>When uh, I went got an acting coach and she

0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:27.439
<v Speaker 1>was little, little, little, little little white lady, gray hair.

0:48:28.840 --> 0:48:32.439
<v Speaker 1>She became therapy in these acting coaches because she wanted

0:48:32.480 --> 0:48:34.240
<v Speaker 1>she was like, she would let make me talk about

0:48:34.239 --> 0:48:36.920
<v Speaker 1>my personal life for like an hour before we even

0:48:37.000 --> 0:48:40.800
<v Speaker 1>do that, and say and then she said, okay, where's

0:48:40.800 --> 0:48:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the script. And so as we go through the script,

0:48:43.200 --> 0:48:46.399
<v Speaker 1>you said, that's somebody from that story, that's somebody from here.

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:49.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what makes it real. You have to start putting

0:48:49.680 --> 0:48:53.680
<v Speaker 1>a name to like she pulls apart all these datas

0:48:54.320 --> 0:48:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and then she put it on this. She put like,

0:48:56.719 --> 0:48:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that's to the person that you just had that argument

0:48:58.840 --> 0:49:01.960
<v Speaker 1>with three days and not think about them when you

0:49:01.960 --> 0:49:04.560
<v Speaker 1>were saying this line, it's saying talking about this person.

0:49:05.200 --> 0:49:07.919
<v Speaker 1>And so that's how I started like really learning from

0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:10.000
<v Speaker 1>her and like the things I used to be able

0:49:10.040 --> 0:49:13.239
<v Speaker 1>to pick up and so that doing it. A few

0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:15.960
<v Speaker 1>years of that, you know, now was ready to do

0:49:16.080 --> 0:49:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, Grid Iron Gang and de Railed and working

0:49:19.160 --> 0:49:22.640
<v Speaker 1>with you know, all these you know, high level directors.

0:49:22.719 --> 0:49:25.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was really dope to go through that

0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:29.520
<v Speaker 1>experience and be able to you know, challenge myself because look,

0:49:29.560 --> 0:49:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I started from that, and yeah, it was a good

0:49:31.680 --> 0:49:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it was a great opportunity and it led to other things.

0:49:34.719 --> 0:49:38.640
<v Speaker 1>But when I took is serious and started really like

0:49:38.800 --> 0:49:41.400
<v Speaker 1>focusing on Okay, cool, this is what I'm going to

0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:44.000
<v Speaker 1>do now. And that's another thing it took. That took

0:49:44.320 --> 0:49:47.520
<v Speaker 1>away from music as well, you know, being able to go.

0:49:47.480 --> 0:49:49.400
<v Speaker 2>And like I mean, yeah, I mean that that takes

0:49:49.440 --> 0:49:55.120
<v Speaker 2>time if you're going to take acting serious, correct correct.

0:49:55.120 --> 0:49:57.759
<v Speaker 1>So I had to kind of had to pivot and

0:49:57.800 --> 0:50:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I had to go that direction, and I'm glad I did.

0:50:02.360 --> 0:50:05.280
<v Speaker 2>You if I'm just throwing this out and if somebody

0:50:05.360 --> 0:50:09.640
<v Speaker 2>took like a legendary West Coast rapper A and ice

0:50:09.680 --> 0:50:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Cube and put them on like a crazy East Coast

0:50:11.840 --> 0:50:13.239
<v Speaker 2>hip hop sample. It would just be crazy.

0:50:14.080 --> 0:50:22.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah Yo.

0:50:23.040 --> 0:50:27.839
<v Speaker 2>There are so many like uh, like my producer asked

0:50:27.840 --> 0:50:29.480
<v Speaker 2>you off the air, but there are so many like

0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:32.520
<v Speaker 2>rumors about pip My Ride. Yes, there's a whole Reddit

0:50:32.560 --> 0:50:35.359
<v Speaker 2>thread of former people who are on pit My Ride

0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:39.920
<v Speaker 2>and the one thing I want, well not the one thing.

0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:42.480
<v Speaker 2>But first of all, I mean that was a paid

0:50:42.520 --> 0:50:45.640
<v Speaker 2>gig for you. You would show up right when the car

0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:48.200
<v Speaker 2>was done. I mean it was you know, in and out.

0:50:48.280 --> 0:50:51.239
<v Speaker 3>You know what.

0:50:51.560 --> 0:50:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Was there any point in time where you knew like, oh,

0:50:54.880 --> 0:50:58.440
<v Speaker 2>that car is fucked up? Like that's not that's not sustainable.

0:50:58.600 --> 0:51:01.240
<v Speaker 2>There's a fish taking a car. It happens all the time.

0:51:02.400 --> 0:51:03.120
<v Speaker 3>I would walking.

0:51:03.280 --> 0:51:07.399
<v Speaker 1>I was walking to the sets and after a while,

0:51:07.480 --> 0:51:11.160
<v Speaker 1>let's just like, I mean, let's.

0:51:11.280 --> 0:51:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Another day at work.

0:51:12.960 --> 0:51:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's go.

0:51:13.960 --> 0:51:18.799
<v Speaker 1>But the producers thought that the show needed that. I

0:51:18.880 --> 0:51:21.560
<v Speaker 1>was always of the mindset of being like, look, let's

0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:25.399
<v Speaker 1>just paint the motherfucker. If we're gonna spend some money,

0:51:25.480 --> 0:51:30.920
<v Speaker 1>let's just do something really dope. The exhaust engine, suspension, RIMS,

0:51:31.680 --> 0:51:34.000
<v Speaker 1>paint sound system done.

0:51:34.840 --> 0:51:36.759
<v Speaker 2>This has been to GMTV, though they got to do

0:51:36.800 --> 0:51:37.920
<v Speaker 2>crazy shit done.

0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:39.839
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, but it was like, no, it's

0:51:40.120 --> 0:51:43.120
<v Speaker 1>more entertaining when they was like, Yo, I'm pretty sure

0:51:43.160 --> 0:51:44.319
<v Speaker 1>these motherfuckers just want.

0:51:44.280 --> 0:51:46.680
<v Speaker 3>A dope card to get to work.

0:51:47.239 --> 0:51:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, pick up a girl on a date baby, Yeah, yeah,

0:51:50.200 --> 0:51:52.960
<v Speaker 2>for sure. What's the craziest thing, Like you saw them

0:51:53.000 --> 0:51:54.800
<v Speaker 2>do to a car where you were just like, guys

0:51:55.080 --> 0:51:56.600
<v Speaker 2>like this, who thought of this ship?

0:51:56.960 --> 0:51:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:51:57.320 --> 0:52:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Man, I mean there's no shortage of things, you know,

0:52:01.800 --> 0:52:04.359
<v Speaker 1>but I think I think the craziest thing was when

0:52:04.400 --> 0:52:08.000
<v Speaker 1>they tried to make that engine run on cooking oil.

0:52:09.680 --> 0:52:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they were like, we're going to reinvent the entire

0:52:15.160 --> 0:52:16.319
<v Speaker 2>the car was so dope.

0:52:16.360 --> 0:52:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, why y'all do that to that fucking car? Yeah,

0:52:20.160 --> 0:52:23.320
<v Speaker 1>but but I mean, look, the show was entertaining.

0:52:23.480 --> 0:52:26.200
<v Speaker 2>There was was there a video game? Yes, there was

0:52:26.239 --> 0:52:27.400
<v Speaker 2>a pit my ride video.

0:52:27.200 --> 0:52:28.960
<v Speaker 3>It was there was Yeah.

0:52:29.040 --> 0:52:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Crazy.

0:52:29.760 --> 0:52:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah was.

0:52:32.560 --> 0:52:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Obviously when you get coined to do that show, right,

0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:36.600
<v Speaker 2>like you don't know it's going to be a big success,

0:52:36.680 --> 0:52:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Like you're like, give it a shot.

0:52:38.000 --> 0:52:40.600
<v Speaker 3>So it happened very very very true. You know, we

0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:42.080
<v Speaker 3>didn't know what we had to you.

0:52:42.040 --> 0:52:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Know, at your peak of pint my ride. You have

0:52:44.200 --> 0:52:46.400
<v Speaker 2>a ton of leverage, right, are you? Like, is the

0:52:46.440 --> 0:52:48.400
<v Speaker 2>bag just crazy to do an episode?

0:52:49.719 --> 0:52:52.760
<v Speaker 1>It got okay, yeah, yeah, but it was nothing compared

0:52:52.800 --> 0:52:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to the addict that the advertising revenue.

0:52:58.440 --> 0:53:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I saw that. They we're talking about bringing it

0:53:01.160 --> 0:53:02.799
<v Speaker 2>back or it's coming back.

0:53:03.200 --> 0:53:03.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:53:03.760 --> 0:53:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, but you're not involved with the with the reincarnation there,

0:53:08.320 --> 0:53:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Like if they find another rapper, because I got a

0:53:11.040 --> 0:53:14.000
<v Speaker 2>feeling there's going to be like a younger up. What

0:53:14.120 --> 0:53:16.120

<v Speaker 3>H good luck, good luck?

0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:26.319
<v Speaker 2>I love it, yo. Somebody else you're you know, being

0:53:26.360 --> 0:53:28.400
<v Speaker 2>on Loud Records, you had some legendary label mates, but

0:53:28.520 --> 0:53:31.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody you had a great relationship with and worked with

0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:35.640
<v Speaker 2>was Big Pun Absolute You got a pun tattoo? Yes, yes,

0:53:36.840 --> 0:53:40.880
<v Speaker 2>and uh, you know pun It is one of the

0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:43.279
<v Speaker 2>biggest what ifs ever. You know, I think if he

0:53:43.360 --> 0:53:45.000

<v Speaker 1>dupe moment.

0:59:08.640 --> 0:59:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Yo.

0:59:09.280 --> 0:59:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Something I always wanted to ask you about was what

0:59:14.320 --> 0:59:18.640
<v Speaker 2>I think I kind of know what happened, but you

0:59:18.760 --> 0:59:21.560
<v Speaker 2>had I mean, you've been a part of some dope situations,

0:59:21.560 --> 0:59:23.400
<v Speaker 2>shots to serial killers, but also like there was the

0:59:23.400 --> 0:59:26.560
<v Speaker 2>strong Arm Steady ship, and your guys' mixtapes were crazy

0:59:26.760 --> 0:59:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and they were very like peaked mixtape era. Shit. It

0:59:31.120 --> 0:59:32.360
<v Speaker 2>was kind of like you guys were like kind of

0:59:32.400 --> 0:59:33.360
<v Speaker 2>like West Coast gu and.

0:59:33.320 --> 0:59:35.919
<v Speaker 3>It low key. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's dope. Man.

0:59:35.960 --> 0:59:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't I take I can't take credit for the

0:59:39.720 --> 0:59:42.320
<v Speaker 1>mixtapes because they brought me in after they had the idea.

0:59:42.440 --> 0:59:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Originally started it was like you Crown, don Ye, Bill

0:59:46.280 --> 0:59:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Mitchie Slick, and then they ended up signing with Talib

0:59:51.480 --> 0:59:54.720
<v Speaker 2>and then you you kind of exited that situation. And

0:59:54.760 --> 0:59:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I remember you and toe Lib weerre cool because you're

0:59:56.280 --> 0:59:58.720
<v Speaker 2>on the reflection of Turtle album Down for was it

0:59:58.720 --> 1:00:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Down for the count? Oh with Rod Digga? Oh my god,

1:00:01.480 --> 1:00:07.440
<v Speaker 2>fucking fire amazing song. But did that lead to like

1:00:07.800 --> 1:00:09.720
<v Speaker 2>some tension between you guys for a while.

1:00:13.280 --> 1:00:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it was it.

1:00:16.280 --> 1:00:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Listen, you know, I think with strong Arm Steady, you know,

1:00:22.160 --> 1:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>shout out to all the brothers, man. I think when

1:00:25.600 --> 1:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>people have ambition and my mind comes from a very

1:00:30.080 --> 1:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>genuine place, right. And so when I got involved with

1:00:33.440 --> 1:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Strong Arm Steady, I tend to be the kind of

1:00:37.600 --> 1:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>leader where I don't explain what I'm thinking or what

1:00:43.040 --> 1:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing too far down the road because I know,

1:00:46.680 --> 1:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I know what the goal is. But right now, we

1:00:48.720 --> 1:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>just need to do these few steps in order to

1:00:50.880 --> 1:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>get to this next thing because I don't want to.

1:00:53.720 --> 1:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to waste time trying to explain something

1:00:55.800 --> 1:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>that you can't see, right, you know what I'm saying.

1:00:59.040 --> 1:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>And so it's a very small group of people that

1:01:02.040 --> 1:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I like to do that with, you know what I'm saying,

1:01:03.840 --> 1:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>because then executing is simpler when we break it down

1:01:07.360 --> 1:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a smaller task, right. And and you know the maturity

1:01:13.160 --> 1:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of what was happening with the mixtapes was preparing us

1:01:15.840 --> 1:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>for a record, right, so boom, you know, TYLERB has

1:01:22.160 --> 1:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>this this Blacksmith record right in print with Cory, I believe, right,

1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>So they approached Phil Phil you know, brought the opportunity

1:01:31.800 --> 1:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to the group. Oh yeah, I just I just I

1:01:35.720 --> 1:01:38.680
<v Speaker 1>just I shot it down. I didn't feel like there

1:01:38.800 --> 1:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>was enough, you know for us to accomplish the kind

1:01:41.920 --> 1:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>of record that we wanted, right, So I went to

1:01:45.640 --> 1:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>New York and then I was collecting music for us

1:01:49.640 --> 1:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to do a strong, steady record. Right, if we're going

1:01:52.560 --> 1:01:55.160
<v Speaker 1>to do it, you might as well do it independently

1:01:55.600 --> 1:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>with us, you know what I'm saying, and then work

1:01:57.960 --> 1:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>for a bigger situation. You know, at least we can

1:02:00.680 --> 1:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>all kind of carve out what we need, you know

1:02:02.360 --> 1:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. I carved it out, came back from uh,

1:02:06.040 --> 1:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, because I had just you know, I turned

1:02:09.800 --> 1:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it down, right, So somehow it was explained to them

1:02:14.280 --> 1:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>that I turned it down, But that didn't mean they

1:02:16.760 --> 1:02:21.360
<v Speaker 1>couldn't they they they they can still take it, and

1:02:21.400 --> 1:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>they did. And I just felt as though, like, guys,

1:02:24.720 --> 1:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, like you know, after after investing in what

1:02:29.280 --> 1:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>we invested in and going around the world and doing

1:02:31.920 --> 1:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>all these things, you know, I think you just trust

1:02:35.600 --> 1:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>me a little bit, you know what I'm saying.

1:02:37.120 --> 1:02:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Did you guys ever, did you ever get to a

1:02:39.760 --> 1:02:44.480
<v Speaker 2>good place with those guys? Ever again. Yeah, yeah, doing

1:02:44.480 --> 1:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>some acting and.

1:02:45.400 --> 1:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah it's a shame because we had such a

1:02:48.880 --> 1:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>great momentum and you know, they they killed it.

1:02:55.960 --> 1:02:57.800
<v Speaker 2>They put out one album. I don't know if it

1:02:57.840 --> 1:03:00.480
<v Speaker 2>was on Blacksmith or not, but it was fucking crazy.

1:03:00.520 --> 1:03:03.600
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's crazy too because it's like, damn dude,

1:03:03.600 --> 1:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Like Phil was so fire. I remember that. I remember

1:03:06.000 --> 1:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>that the solo song he had on Expansion Team on

1:03:09.080 --> 1:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>the Dilated album was so fucking tough.

1:03:13.480 --> 1:03:13.840
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he had a unique voice, and uh, you know

1:03:16.360 --> 1:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>he's still ill. I think he's still moving right now.

1:03:18.920 --> 1:03:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I think I just saw something when he's he's got coming.

1:03:21.760 --> 1:03:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's crazy. I remember like when I moved to

1:03:23.520 --> 1:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>l A, Like one of the guys that wanted the

1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:28.160
<v Speaker 2>interview was Tofari and I got him on like when

1:03:28.160 --> 1:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I was I'm still at Real ninety two three, but

1:03:30.000 --> 1:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>when I was like actually working there and not contracted there,

1:03:32.800 --> 1:03:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I had him pulled up to the show and I

1:03:34.400 --> 1:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>was like, yo.

1:03:34.840 --> 1:03:35.400
<v Speaker 3>Defar.

1:03:36.640 --> 1:03:39.160
<v Speaker 2>At the Faria album. He's in front of the forum.

1:03:39.280 --> 1:03:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, focus, daily, focused days so fucking good. Yeah.

1:03:46.080 --> 1:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you know if THEFARII ever got to because it

1:03:47.960 --> 1:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>felt damn near like he was like after math ish

1:03:51.160 --> 1:03:51.640
<v Speaker 2>for a sec.

1:03:52.200 --> 1:03:53.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was trying to listen.

1:03:54.560 --> 1:03:55.479
<v Speaker 2>Was he a Tommy boy?

1:03:55.760 --> 1:03:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I signed him? Okay, I signed him the open bar.

1:03:58.800 --> 1:03:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's right.

1:03:59.680 --> 1:04:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I signed him. And then we got close.

1:04:02.560 --> 1:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you guys never did an album.

1:04:04.920 --> 1:04:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Though, I never did it, he said.

1:04:07.800 --> 1:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>After Restless came out and there was a pamphlet inside,

1:04:11.000 --> 1:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>it was like coming soon.

1:04:12.320 --> 1:04:14.640

<v Speaker 2>was like, you.

<v Speaker 1>Don't have an album ready yet. And at the time,

1:04:20.080 --> 1:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>we're the same age. So if he would have heard

1:04:24.040 --> 1:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>that from anyone else, it would have resonated because I

1:04:28.160 --> 1:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>said it, all right, I'm as peer and and and we.

1:04:32.800 --> 1:04:35.440

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think, Thank you man, I appreciate it. I

1:07:07.280 --> 1:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>feel invigorated, I feel I feel I do that To

1:07:12.480 --> 1:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>answer your question, yes, I feel like the void has

1:07:14.800 --> 1:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>been filled with this project.

1:07:17.280 --> 1:07:17.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to.

1:07:20.040 --> 1:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Go and put my best foot forward in promoting and

1:07:23.800 --> 1:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>getting in front of the people and presenting this album

1:07:26.160 --> 1:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the way it's supposed to be presented. That's I'm I'm

1:07:29.240 --> 1:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>dedicating my time and energy to that that's.

1:07:32.000 --> 1:07:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Going to happen.

1:07:33.000 --> 1:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>But as far as what's going to happen with the

1:07:35.000 --> 1:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>next one and the next one and the next one,

1:07:37.600 --> 1:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take a case by case.

1:07:40.400 --> 1:07:40.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:07:40.720 --> 1:07:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I think it's called king Maker for people who don't know, yes, yes,

1:07:44.920 --> 1:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>what what? Why that name?

1:07:49.800 --> 1:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, king Maker was decided because it has nothing to

1:07:54.240 --> 1:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>do with royalty or riches or any of that kind

1:07:59.160 --> 1:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>of you know, stereotypical thought of kings. My meaning behind

1:08:08.760 --> 1:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>it is it's a transfer of information. This is about

1:08:13.560 --> 1:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the things that have made me successful, the consistencies, the

1:08:17.080 --> 1:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>self discipline, the ups, the downs, you know, my definition

1:08:22.080 --> 1:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>of things in the most entertaining way possible that I

1:08:25.920 --> 1:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>could see. Right, there's some bucket list items on here, Yeah,

1:08:30.240 --> 1:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>that I've always wanted to do, haven't been able to

1:08:32.960 --> 1:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>do it until now, big, big records that you know

1:08:37.840 --> 1:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>are very.

1:08:41.280 --> 1:08:43.240
<v Speaker 3>True to form, you know what I'm saying.

1:08:43.600 --> 1:08:47.599
<v Speaker 1>Definitely Yeah, Yeah, And I feel like I'm I feel

1:08:47.600 --> 1:08:49.800
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I find my voice. I've been able to,

1:08:50.560 --> 1:08:53.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, put things in a way that I feel

1:08:53.120 --> 1:08:57.439
<v Speaker 1>very comfortable with and I feel are unique and I

1:08:57.479 --> 1:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>feel good. I feel like you could it can be

1:09:00.560 --> 1:09:02.679
<v Speaker 1>put up against any music just out right now?

1:09:03.120 --> 1:09:08.439
<v Speaker 2>I agree. Can you talk to me. You've had so many,

1:09:08.520 --> 1:09:10.800
<v Speaker 2>like you said, you've gone through you speak about some

1:09:10.840 --> 1:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>of the stuff on the album, whether it's some of

1:09:12.360 --> 1:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>your family stuff being on the tabloids or I mean,

1:09:15.680 --> 1:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, damn, twenty years ago now you know you

1:09:18.080 --> 1:09:20.000
<v Speaker 2>got to an altercation that was why you got a

1:09:20.000 --> 1:09:23.600
<v Speaker 2>scar on your face. Now you've had some crazy like

1:09:23.760 --> 1:09:26.559
<v Speaker 2>lows as well as crazy highs. Can you tell me, like,

1:09:26.800 --> 1:09:29.240
<v Speaker 2>just like, has there been a moment because I feel like,

1:09:30.160 --> 1:09:33.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, you've grown as a man over the years

1:09:33.320 --> 1:09:35.719
<v Speaker 2>to the point where, like you said, like this album

1:09:35.800 --> 1:09:37.960
<v Speaker 2>is like a transfer of information. Was there like a

1:09:38.000 --> 1:09:40.519
<v Speaker 2>point in time where you felt like you had like

1:09:40.560 --> 1:09:42.519
<v Speaker 2>an awakening where maybe you were like in a low

1:09:42.600 --> 1:09:44.599
<v Speaker 2>place where you kind of like you you really kind

1:09:44.600 --> 1:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>of had to only depend on yourself to dig yourself

1:09:48.160 --> 1:09:50.040
<v Speaker 2>out of it. Because with that shit comes a lot

1:09:50.040 --> 1:09:50.519
<v Speaker 2>of growth.

1:09:50.720 --> 1:09:50.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:09:50.960 --> 1:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, I think it's a combination of things. You know,

1:09:57.680 --> 1:10:00.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, your family stuff has always found stuff.

1:10:00.680 --> 1:10:00.920
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1:10:02.560 --> 1:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I think when you start losing your parents and your

1:10:04.800 --> 1:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>grandparents and all that stuff, you know that that's that's

1:10:08.680 --> 1:10:11.960
<v Speaker 1>it happens to everyone. But then you know, like when

1:10:12.040 --> 1:10:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you lose a child or something like that. That's a

1:10:14.400 --> 1:10:16.519
<v Speaker 1>that's a heavy one, right, So that's what that's what

1:10:16.640 --> 1:10:21.439
<v Speaker 1>happened to me. And you know, I think also the divorce,

1:10:21.840 --> 1:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, it was just like a

1:10:24.200 --> 1:10:28.439
<v Speaker 1>series of really horrible events, you know that that just

1:10:28.520 --> 1:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of put me in a really dark place. So

1:10:32.520 --> 1:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I would really feel like, you know, being able to

1:10:36.880 --> 1:10:39.920
<v Speaker 1>get back to music was another reason why I needed

1:10:39.960 --> 1:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to be able to find that outlet again.

1:10:42.200 --> 1:10:45.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, did you I can only imagine, you know,

1:10:46.320 --> 1:10:51.280
<v Speaker 2>losing a kid. That's the ultimate you know, the ultimate thing.

1:10:51.800 --> 1:10:52.759
<v Speaker 2>It's ultimate nightmare.

1:10:52.880 --> 1:10:54.559
<v Speaker 3>It's not the natural order of things.

1:10:55.040 --> 1:10:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you like, was it was it therapy that helped

1:10:58.080 --> 1:10:59.479
<v Speaker 2>you get through that? Or was there anything you were

1:10:59.520 --> 1:11:01.719
<v Speaker 2>able to douse? I can't even I mean, I can't

1:11:01.720 --> 1:11:03.519
<v Speaker 2>even imagine. Bro Like, like, how do you how do

1:11:03.560 --> 1:11:04.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, grieve?

1:11:04.720 --> 1:11:05.559
<v Speaker 3>You got a grief.

1:11:05.720 --> 1:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you gotta go, you gotta grieve, and you gotta

1:11:08.439 --> 1:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>talk about it and you gotta you know, realize what

1:11:11.760 --> 1:11:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that means and you know, and yeah, it's it's it's

1:11:16.080 --> 1:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the things, you know, but death is an

1:11:17.880 --> 1:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>our natural part of life, and you know, you you

1:11:21.280 --> 1:11:26.679
<v Speaker 1>you don't you don't forget, but you know you definitely grow. Yeah,

1:11:26.800 --> 1:11:29.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I think that you know, being in

1:11:29.520 --> 1:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that dark place, you know, you have two options. Either

1:11:33.280 --> 1:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>you can stay there, or you can and die there,

1:11:37.280 --> 1:11:40.519
<v Speaker 1>or you can stand up and fucking go forward and

1:11:40.520 --> 1:11:42.800
<v Speaker 1>see you know what life has to offer.

1:11:43.080 --> 1:11:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because I mean it is I'm sure very easy

1:11:46.960 --> 1:11:47.880
<v Speaker 2>to stay in that place.

1:11:47.960 --> 1:11:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, people to lie down and self and self loathing.

1:11:50.880 --> 1:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>But that ain't that ain't where it's at. You know

1:11:53.120 --> 1:11:53.559
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying.

1:11:53.600 --> 1:11:56.400
<v Speaker 3>It's it's easy to die, it's hard to live. You know.

1:11:56.560 --> 1:11:59.800

<v Speaker 2>feel like we when when you're married, right, there's so

1:12:22.880 --> 1:12:27.360
<v Speaker 2>much of your like self identification that's dependent on like

1:12:27.640 --> 1:12:31.080
<v Speaker 2>this relationship, right, and then even like what your kids

1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:34.519
<v Speaker 2>might think or you know, so much was it like

1:12:35.240 --> 1:12:39.759
<v Speaker 2>the dynamics of getting over that and like being sleeping

1:12:39.800 --> 1:12:41.800
<v Speaker 2>alone at night again, you know what I mean, and

1:12:41.840 --> 1:12:45.720
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily having like uh, like your fault, like you

1:12:45.720 --> 1:12:47.760
<v Speaker 2>don't have the like really knowing the answer to I

<v Speaker 3>I was like that.

1:13:06.000 --> 1:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't like right, But you know, here's the things

1:13:15.160 --> 1:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think you have to You have to

1:13:21.320 --> 1:13:24.840
<v Speaker 1>be true to yourself. Let me start there. You got

1:13:24.840 --> 1:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>to be true to yourself. I watched my father staying

1:13:31.760 --> 1:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>in a broken, unhappy marriage.

1:13:35.880 --> 1:13:39.040
<v Speaker 3>And I saw his outcome.

1:13:41.280 --> 1:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>And we've had long talks about this. He you know,

1:13:44.680 --> 1:13:48.840
<v Speaker 1>he stayed way past what he was. It did a

1:13:48.840 --> 1:13:54.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of damage internally to the family. I didn't want that.

1:13:55.320 --> 1:13:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I knew where I was, I knew where she was,

1:14:00.880 --> 1:14:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't. I couldn't you know what.

1:14:04.280 --> 1:14:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like past the point in or return.

1:14:09.240 --> 1:14:13.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you know, like even going to therapy, you know.

1:14:14.880 --> 1:14:17.880
<v Speaker 2>That couple's therapy trying to save it.

1:14:19.640 --> 1:14:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to I want a couple of times, you

1:14:21.840 --> 1:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. But I mean it was like

1:14:25.720 --> 1:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the lady was like you know I shouldn't be saying this,

1:14:28.880 --> 1:14:29.839
<v Speaker 1>but I'm just saying anyway.

1:14:30.040 --> 1:14:35.240
<v Speaker 3>The lady was like, so, uh, how do you feel?

1:14:35.640 --> 1:14:38.599
<v Speaker 3>I was like, you know, how do you feel about

1:14:39.160 --> 1:14:42.679
<v Speaker 3>being married? I'm like, I don't want to be agreed,

1:14:45.560 --> 1:14:47.840
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing wrong with me, you know what I'm.

1:14:47.760 --> 1:14:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Saying, Like, maybe I just don't want to Yeah, I.

1:14:49.720 --> 1:14:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Don't want to be married. Yeah, to her like.

1:14:57.760 --> 1:14:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Like we're better apart.

1:14:58.840 --> 1:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly exactly. It was it was you know, it was.

1:15:03.760 --> 1:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>It was time. There was there was it was time.

1:15:06.640 --> 1:15:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, hey that I think that. I feel like

1:15:08.600 --> 1:15:10.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people, like you said, like are like

1:15:10.439 --> 1:15:14.360
<v Speaker 2>your dad, like they hang on Yeah, and look, it's

1:15:14.360 --> 1:15:14.599
<v Speaker 2>not good.

1:15:15.479 --> 1:15:19.479
<v Speaker 1>It's not good for anyone. And and I didn't want

1:15:19.760 --> 1:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>my youngest to be to see that tension in me

1:15:26.680 --> 1:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>all the time or know that something's in.

1:15:29.960 --> 1:15:31.800
<v Speaker 2>There, something about it.

1:15:31.920 --> 1:15:34.639
<v Speaker 3>Now he's conditioned to live that way.

1:15:34.720 --> 1:15:37.360
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense, right, right, So that's that's I think

1:15:37.400 --> 1:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that's the And then and then on top of it,

1:15:39.280 --> 1:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you add that you know things are being put out

1:15:42.160 --> 1:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>in the fucking internet or whatever. You know, now everybody's

1:15:46.280 --> 1:15:48.160
<v Speaker 1>in your business, but don't know ship for sure. You

1:15:48.200 --> 1:15:50.479
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, you know, but you know, it's

1:15:50.520 --> 1:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>it's how you portrayed this, how what you fed you know.

1:15:53.320 --> 1:15:57.840
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I've I've I've lost contact with you know,

1:15:58.760 --> 1:16:03.800
<v Speaker 1>a significant about of people connected with that, and that's okay.

1:16:03.680 --> 1:16:06.280
<v Speaker 2>That's fine. Yeah, you are also kind of one of

1:16:06.280 --> 1:16:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the I would say, like one of the guys who

1:16:09.240 --> 1:16:13.839
<v Speaker 2>I looked kind of kicked off the h being involved

1:16:13.840 --> 1:16:16.240
<v Speaker 2>in the marijuana industry while being a hip hop artist

1:16:16.760 --> 1:16:19.280
<v Speaker 2>thing that's happening. I mean, you were behind some really

1:16:19.320 --> 1:16:21.960
<v Speaker 2>successful brands that ended up I think you told me earlier.

1:16:21.960 --> 1:16:23.439
<v Speaker 2>I won't say that I want to give them any light,

1:16:23.520 --> 1:16:27.040
<v Speaker 2>but you but I mean, shit, I remember you had

1:16:27.080 --> 1:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>the grenades with the fucking giant, fat ass, fucking napalm

1:16:30.360 --> 1:16:32.439
<v Speaker 2>fucking pre roll in it. What is the latest with

1:16:32.520 --> 1:16:33.320
<v Speaker 2>you in the weed game?

1:16:34.800 --> 1:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, we stopped our California production of napalm, so manufacturing, right,

1:16:43.520 --> 1:16:46.479
<v Speaker 1>just shut that down. I think it's a really competitive market.

1:16:47.280 --> 1:16:49.639
<v Speaker 2>It's sure, it's a tough market, right, it is, it is,

1:16:49.720 --> 1:16:52.479
<v Speaker 2>and the bougiest smokers in the world are here.

1:16:52.600 --> 1:16:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, So you know, I just parked napon for the moment,

1:16:57.880 --> 1:17:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and now I have two dispensaries it's like, you know,

1:17:01.040 --> 1:17:05.559
<v Speaker 1>instead of building one or two brands, which I've done,

1:17:05.760 --> 1:17:07.120
<v Speaker 1>why not sell everybody.

1:17:06.840 --> 1:17:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Ship and then you're not So I always here, I

1:17:10.280 --> 1:17:14.320
<v Speaker 2>always hear. The hardest part of the weed uh process

1:17:15.200 --> 1:17:16.280
<v Speaker 2>is the cultivation.

1:17:17.160 --> 1:17:19.800

1:17:19.840 --> 1:17:20.639
