And I said, let me tell 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.520 you entertainment, bro, it's entertainment. 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.039 I said. Number one is I never felt pressure. 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:56.000 Number Number two was, let's say he took away y'all completely, 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.640 what which never happened, but let's just say that's what 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:00.880 it like happened. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.200 We was doing over two and forty million. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.719 Dollarge exact job.

But when boys avid boys. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.160 And then what's even further than most people don't know 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:22.640 is they universal IDJ, depth JAM cooperated with the FIS 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.200 against us, So you would expect that.

And then when you think of business, 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.680 they didn't do anything but shifted from one side from 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.680 murder inc And put it over the aftermath, Gene. That's 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.200 all they did. It was a lateral move. 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.960 Boom, the money gotta move the money, don't change though 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.400 they still eating, They still good, but they definitely you know, 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.600 was did us dirty and. 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.400 Play a major role in that?

I've been trying 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.960 to explain because everyone asks, how did Earth start murder inc? 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.760 I said, technically he didn't. 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.839 Yeah, And what I mean by that is Earth just 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.040 wanted to be the biggest producer in the game. And 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.200 we had Little Rob. Shout out, Little Rob that was 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:10.520 the one producer we had with Rob was putting up Yeah, 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.400 but he didn't make a lot. See, so he was 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:14.240 making hits. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:14.600 No question. 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.960 But you know, when you're in business's quantity, I can't. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.480 I can't service the industry with just a few beats. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:22.320 I need a lot. 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.480 And I told IRV I had just made the transition, 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.840 like because I built the construction business. If that was 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.800 funding her nerve saw making some money with top Door productions, 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.440 you know what I'm saying. And Rod tells me, Yo, 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.679 I need you back with me because I started Earth. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.480 And then I said okay, and I started doing both. 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.400 But then after I did both, I got burnt out 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.040 and I said, I'm gonna just do music. But to 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.080 get twenty percent of five thousand dollars ain't gonna pay me. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:47.800 I don't know. 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.320 Man, If I sell three out of the four beats 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.360 Robed made, that's three racks. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:53.120 That's not enough. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.400 So I went back to Earth and said, listen, I'm 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.920 gonna go bring in more producers, and. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.600 He was like, I don't care what you do. 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.440 I'm not taking less than five thousand, you know what 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.920 I'm saying. I started laughing. It's like, of course I 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.680 got you. So that was the beginning. I started adding 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.040 in producers and the next you know, we went from five. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.000 I took us from five to fifteen to twenty five 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.000 to fifty in less than six months. We had fifty 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.160 thousand a track. The first year we had one hundred 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.680 thousand a track, you know what I'm saying. And that 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.440 was the beginning of all of that, and we just 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.200 kept going. We went only up to two hundred and 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.000 fifty thousand track or it was getting two fifty. But 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.600 that's all these producers I got. We had a team 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.280 of producers. That's weird her banging out. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.480 That's how the crackhouse came about. Man, that's the crackhouse. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.040 Crack house. I was in there. She was like a fortress, 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.040 you know. It was like the Carter. 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.480 It was so real because I was controlling all the 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.960 business on everything. So I'm seeing all the money we 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:57.720 spending in studios, and I told her I created something 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:02.520 called mink rentals am I and see murder in rentals 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.959 and we rented. We built our studios so we could 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.720 rent our studio to ourselves to make the money. You know, 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.640 we bought houses to rent the house. We're traveling all over. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.280 This is when we start really rocking, and I'm watching 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.360 these bills. We had a hundred plus thousand a month 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:21.200 in car services, so I bought it. I started buying cars. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.160 And getting all my hood. 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.880 The whole hood is drivers. 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.600 Right, that's the smart way to do it. 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.400 And they universal got mad because we was doing that. 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.720 But I said, it's our bills and went in and 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.440 we went in there and fight. We would go back 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.160 and fight with all of them, and the next you know, 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:40.079 I see them doing it their own little car. The 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.160 car service, he was the ones that started that. That's 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.400 a fact. And that was because I seen that. I've 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.880 seen that. And then again even the studio were the 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.280 ones to do it.

Y'all changed the trajectory I feel like 0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:25.920 of music and murder. Inc don't get the credit of 0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:31.040 that because before y'all, it wasn't like Ye Puff did 0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:33.800 the you know, the R and B. 0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:38.640 And rapped together, but it wasn't done. It's one like 0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:41.960 it was total featuring big or feature in mas feature 0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:42.920 in one twelve. 0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:46.200 You know, they never they never gave John his credit 0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:49.760 to pioneering a game that every First of all, I 0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:51.600 don't even I don't even think all this good deals. 0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:54.920 Now if you don't rap and sing, think about that. 0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:57.920 You gotta have some of that melodic, flowing straight up 0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:00.360 like and I remember when he first was when in 0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:04.120 y'all pioneer like coming out with that, and niggas used 0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:04.280 to be. 0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:06.680 Looking like, say something because I'm gonna give you the 0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:11.200 IRV gotty, I'm gonna speak like that. He's with me. 0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:14.360 That part what you just said, you don't hear it 0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:17.920 no more is the opportunity for the exact polar opposite 0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:21.800 because that means they want that. There's a whole group 0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:23.800 of people that says, we heard all of that already. 0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:28.080 You gotta be creative and fresh. You know that was 0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:34.560 the DMX like Puffy was killing it, killing it, but 0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:37.760 we can't outshine Puffy. He's a shiny nigga, that's right, 0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:42.240 shout out ho your head boy, but you can't outshine him. 0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:44.720 It was like I got X. 0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.680 Do that. That's right, And that's the polar opposite effect. 0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:52.120 So you gotta realize that is still true to this 0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:56.880 day in business and everything. When you see something saturated, 0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.560 which one way the flip the polar eye city is 0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:05.840 a huge open potential if you know how to finesse it. 0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:09.000 Yes, and then y'all did it with Ashanti Bro, Like 0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:11.440 think about it. You didn't really hear that many. 0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:15.280 And it was remixes to R and B records where 0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:16.920 DJs would throw the rap you know. 0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:20.200 Okay, so that's Earth DJ Earth. See if you go 0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:24.440 back to Earth, you go back to DJ Earth. There 0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:28.080 used to be lines around the block waiting for his mixtape. 0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:33.600 That's crazy, nobullshit, every drug dealer all in Queens. Everyone 0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:37.360 was coming to get DJ Erth Volume one, dj Erth Volume. 0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.000 Two, and I told her never sell it. You know 0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:41.840 that niggas greedy, and. 0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:45.920 I said, never sell those tapes.

My partner Rich Black 0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:30.920 and Andy and try to shout both for them. Rich 0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:33.160 wrote the movie. He was asking me to do it 0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:35.960 for years, over year and a half, almost two years. 0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:38.319 She's like, yo, I got this movie, and I was like, yeah, 0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:39.120 I'm not ready yet. 0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:41.200 You know, I get to you, and then one day 0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:42.680 I just reached out. I was like, Yo, what's up. 0:36:42.760 --> 0:36:43.800 Let me see this movie.

So we went out 0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:52.920 shot in Miami seventeen days. Shouted it would have been 0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:55.720 even faster. Shout out ever my director first time. 0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.799 You know ever? Seventeen days. Damn, that's quick. 0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:01.080 Yeah, it could be. I'm telling you. The only way 0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:02.920 to do these types of films is fast. 0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:06.239 You gotta turn them over. Yeah, and right now I'm 0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:07.320 dealing with distribution. 0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:11.240 I'm working on distribution because without the proper distribution channels, 0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:12.640 it's very hard to get your money. 0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:14.960 See two B. I know people that made means off too. 0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:18.320 Yes, that was early to be. Once Fox are quieted, 0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:21.880 the game changed. It's still the best place for black content. 0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:23.439 That's right for any up and coming. 0:37:23.480 --> 0:37:25.000 They got over one hundred and ten million on that 0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:29.120 fucking channel that watched black film. But the reality is 0:37:29.160 --> 0:37:32.600 they're not giving the deals out to come say, and 0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:34.200 their CPM is super low. 0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:38.320 Yeah, but if you got the product, that's worth it, 0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:40.640 because you can't just give it's too many. 0:37:41.680 --> 0:37:43.200 We was not going for five weeks. 0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:48.640 I feel like in all perspectives of entertainment is oversaturated. 0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:53.719 So how do you weed out who's real again you 0:37:53.800 --> 0:37:54.720 speaking my language? 0:37:54.719 --> 0:37:58.120 Who's faking it? Because you can't just give everybody the 0:37:58.239 --> 0:38:03.640 money and hope. And so that's why these when when. 0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:06.399 You talk of music, it's called the music business. Yes, 0:38:06.760 --> 0:38:09.400 music is half businesses have you gotta make it, marry 0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:11.400 each other, and then that's when you have such. 0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:13.200 I feel like because even in this space right like 0:38:13.280 --> 0:38:15.239 people look at it like, yo, you get the deal, 0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:18.160 nor reding them you did the deal? I heard you 0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:21.960 got doe to yo, y'all cashing out, and it's like, yo, bro, No, 0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:24.360 you got to put in the work. The numbers have 0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:28.840 to speak, you need you need a track record to 0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:32.120 go sell so people can buy into. They're not just 0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:35.360 gonna buy into because you you opened up the stores, 0:38:35.440 --> 0:38:36.279 Like yo, what if you. 0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:37.239 Fall off next week? 0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:41.040 Probably in a lot of similar type of conversations because 0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:43.560 they think because your history, you just. 0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:47.920 Yep, you're good. No, it's like, yo, it's still a process. 0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:49.759 We're still working. We gotta earn it. 0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:52.920 Yes, like every day is here you just say this 0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:55.680 is what your third podcast today. You know what I'm saying, 0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:58.839 You're working, bro. At the end of the day, the work. 0:38:58.920 --> 0:39:02.160 You cannot short the work man, and the process is 0:39:02.239 --> 0:39:04.359 you can't cheat the process. I said, if you want 0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:06.920 money overnight, the only thing I know is a lot 0:39:06.960 --> 0:39:08.759 on nigga good that's right, good luck. 0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:10.719 I don't know how to hit lot on them good 0:39:10.800 --> 0:39:13.800 luck word up.

So I'm gonna go 0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:14.759 put in my work. 0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:18.640 And consistency is part of what you have to be 0:39:18.800 --> 0:39:22.040 because of the saturation, that's right. So I tell all 0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.359 my independent artists, you know I have. I got tens 0:39:24.400 --> 0:39:27.920 of thousand of independent artists on my platform, Adventure Music. 0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.719 But I tell you we're going to talk about the 0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:33.000 shot out Adventures. I'm building some new ship for it. 0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:35.120 I really don't want to expose it, but I'm just 0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:39.279 letting you know it's coming. But the consistency, I look 0:39:39.360 --> 0:39:42.760 at music, let's use me and you could use this podcast. 0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:47.640 Podcast is like one of the most emerging booming industries. Yes, 0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:51.880 once it started and everybody jumped in and everyone's doing it, 0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:56.000 and everyone's trying to get their podcasts and they streaming 0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:57.120 numbers and everything. 0:39:57.560 --> 0:39:58.080 All good. 0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:01.719 We accept all COMPETI issue all the smoke, that's right, 0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:06.120 all the smoke you heard me stacks. 0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:08.399 Shut. 0:40:13.640 --> 0:40:18.640 Consistency is the difference you factor in my opinion, because. 0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:20.840 If you don't feed. 0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:23.720 Them, let's let's let's let's use I like to always 0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:28.120 like dumb everything down so anyone understands, simplify, let's use 0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:32.000 this podcast show as food. You're feeding people with information 0:40:32.719 --> 0:40:35.200 from me and yourself and whoever your guests are. And 0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:38.160 that's why they're gonna tune in. It's entertaining, that's fool. 0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:41.560 If you don't feed them, they're gonna go eat somewhere else. 0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:45.080 That's simple. Just they're gonna find the next best item 0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:45.400 on the man. 0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:48.280 And I said, the only ones they get a chance 0:40:48.400 --> 0:40:52.279 to basically fast you right, make you fast for that 0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:56.520 content is the ones that's already at the time, not 0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.719 the new up and coming guy. Look at the guy 0:40:59.760 --> 0:41:01.759 that was at the top, and look at their track record, 0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:03.759 and you're gonna see how much work they put in 0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:09.080 to get there. And don't don't discount that. Understand that 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:11.600 there's no cheat code, there's no you can't treat the game. 0:41:11.640 --> 0:41:14.040 You can only play the game. You can never treat 0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:16.880 the game. You can only play the game. Never had 0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:18.960 a problem with rolling my sleeves up and getting the 0:41:19.000 --> 0:41:21.600 work that bro it don't matter what and. 0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:24.000 Me, I'm the type of person I never had a 0:41:24.080 --> 0:41:29.560 problem with even if the W ain't looking promising for me, 0:41:30.040 --> 0:41:32.759 but it's looking promising for you. We're gonna push you 0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:35.640 to get you the W because when you win, gonna 0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:38.239 make it easier for me to win, because now I 0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:41.160 can pick off to us fighting. 0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:46.759 We all, we got all, we got, we all, we 0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:51.640 got God every time, you know we we mentioned. I 0:41:51.760 --> 0:41:53.560 just shot a movie. We was talking the movies. 0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:53.920 You're back. 0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:55.400 I'm gonna just go back to that for a second, 0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:59.400 because we just shot a Spanish fly movie. I'm not Latino. 0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:03.279 My mother's black. My father was Trinidad in Filipino. That's 0:42:03.360 --> 0:42:04.600 my lineage. 0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:05.200 That's right. 0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:07.760 At the end of the day, I got a partner. 0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:10.439 Don de Niro and Oscar you know what I'm saying, 0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:14.360 both gia times and they're very influenced you in the 0:42:14.440 --> 0:42:18.040 Latino community. Don was a big artist at one point, 0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:21.080 independent artists. First, he was the first rapper in really 0:42:21.280 --> 0:42:26.279 in Spanish music back then. Desert calls him, des calls 0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:30.200 him was calling him the Latin jay Z. Go ahead 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:32.360 and check it out. You add, I'm telling you no 0:42:32.440 --> 0:42:35.879 bullshit and one knows him everyone, But that was back then. 0:42:36.040 --> 0:42:40.319 Then he evolved and everything. But then my Latin divisions 0:42:41.320 --> 0:42:43.920 because the growth of the Latin communities, we. 0:42:44.000 --> 0:42:46.400 Can't say, go get them. 0:42:46.520 --> 0:42:48.200 Go get a globe and look at all the Latin 0:42:48.280 --> 0:42:52.200 American countries and then you start understanding why the growth 0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:55.200 is like that, and then you put into the fact 0:42:55.239 --> 0:42:58.400 that they're not being serviced. So I was when I 0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:01.360 started adventures. I started a division ten years ago. This 0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:03.880 is way before any of this started. I was in 0:43:03.960 --> 0:43:06.879 front of this movement. So and I have it now 0:43:06.920 --> 0:43:09.520 in film. So we did a movie called Spanish Flys 0:43:09.600 --> 0:43:18.399 called It's all Latino like actors, comedians, big names. Yeah right, 0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:21.960 and they all did it for nothing. See that's what 0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:24.200 because they know they all they got. 0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:24.960 That's what. 0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:27.840 The whole reason I'm talking about that is because I 0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:32.000 watched the Latin community come in all the best directing people, 0:43:32.120 --> 0:43:36.640 that's the production people telling Denio whatever you want, I'm here. 0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:41.279 That's right. I want to be part of this. If 0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.360 it wasn't about money, everybody, but it wasn't about money. 0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:44.879 That's about. 0:43:44.920 --> 0:43:47.120 They just wanted to help and be part of it. 0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:50.240 And that's what we have to get as a community's people. 0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:52.600 Right because if he win, we all win. Yes, it's 0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:55.800 the village. Oh man, we all win. That's it. But 0:43:56.000 --> 0:43:57.439 you know that's another dope movie. 0:43:57.480 --> 0:44:01.440 We just finished and we shot that eight days eight days. 0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:04.080 Man, I gotta come. I gotta pop out on one 0:44:04.120 --> 0:44:04.319 of these. 0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:09.360 Yeah, you know we're gonna gonna get last acting. I 0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:11.040 get my skills shop and. 0:44:11.160 --> 0:44:11.880 It's no problem. 0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:13.600 I show you how to do it, like I really 0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:18.600 have a system that I developed for like influencers. You're 0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:23.520 an influencer. I'm not just taking John Dues nothing. Because 0:44:23.800 --> 0:44:26.040 today I gotta get an audience to watch my film. 0:44:26.120 --> 0:44:28.920 That's a fact. If you're in the film, you'll be here. Yo. 0:44:29.120 --> 0:44:30.759 Make sure you watch my film. That's right. 0:44:30.960 --> 0:44:33.480 What's needed if you're doing it independent. 0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:34.800 Even if you just text me and tell me the 0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:37.239 film is out, yo, listen, make sure y'all go check 0:44:37.320 --> 0:44:40.040 out Balling where they can find it at to be. 0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:42.520 Right now and a ton of other places. 0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:44.400 Amazon, It's gonna be all over, that's right. 0:44:44.600 --> 0:44:47.359 Spanish flyers right now on tub And I'm not even 0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:50.160 in the movie. But this is my motherfucking brother. So 0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:53.080 I'm gonna promote you. So if the movie I'm in, 0:44:53.800 --> 0:44:55.520 I'm gonna tell you right now, you might get a 0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:57.440 flyer on the windshield of your car. 0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:02.760 So you see this fly back bleak in the movie. Baby, 0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:04.040 Yeah no, but. 0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:06.240 They I'm telling you, that's why I picked the cast 0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:09.319 of How I Did It. You gotta have, you can't get. 0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:12.440 I looked at movies in a different perspective again, and 0:45:12.520 --> 0:45:15.319 I looked at like I love let's say, Morris Chess 0:45:15.400 --> 0:45:19.239 now takes. These are incredible acts, blackhead of me. I 0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:22.800 could never All Right, here's the question, how many people 0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:24.560 if I had them in the movie, how much do 0:45:24.640 --> 0:45:27.479 I have to pay them? And then how many people 0:45:27.600 --> 0:45:29.759 they get to go watch it? See that all comes 0:45:29.800 --> 0:45:32.080 with a tag. When they established like they are, they're 0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:32.799 not knocking them. 0:45:32.840 --> 0:45:33.360 It's just the. 0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:37.359 Business they're in it now they almost priced themselves out. Yes, 0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:40.920 you understand, they're really great actors. 0:45:41.200 --> 0:45:41.680 Both of them. 0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:44.280 I fuck with both of them hard, you know, posts 0:45:44.480 --> 0:45:47.520 But at the end of the day, they're both great actors. 0:45:48.000 --> 0:45:50.319 But they'll want more money than I could afford at 0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:53.080 this level. And then they're not gonna work as hard 0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:54.960 because then they're gonna want even more money from the 0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:58.320 marketing side. But if I go get these influencers that 0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:02.879 want a chance to be actors or these following, they're 0:46:02.920 --> 0:46:05.000 gonna push the movie for me. They're gonna help market 0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:07.880 the movie, and they're gonna give people that's curious another 0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:10.440 part of you know this. Me and like we had 0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:12.640 a lot of different philosophies, and one of them was 0:46:12.719 --> 0:46:16.040 curiosity killed the cat. So a new artist with slayer 0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:18.640 old artists. Right, I brought a new artist in the game. 0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:22.080 You're curious to see or hear his story. So that 0:46:22.280 --> 0:46:24.960 gave us an upside on that. So that's how I 0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:27.759 look at the same thing, that curiosity I wanted. That 0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:30.160 curiosity of Damn Lance is in the movie. 0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:32.640 He could act.

He 0:54:49.200 --> 0:54:51.000 said that. He's like, Yo, think about it. 0:54:51.040 --> 0:54:53.479 When you listen to the radio, boss Man Di Loo said, 0:54:53.520 --> 0:54:55.759 when you listen to the radio and they on the 0:54:55.840 --> 0:54:57.759 mixed show the d you only play about a good 0:54:58.239 --> 0:54:59.880 forty seconds of the record anyway. 0:55:00.480 --> 0:55:02.759 So if it's hot, you're gonna bring that shit back. 0:55:02.920 --> 0:55:04.080 That's it, Which is right? 0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:07.200 And when he said that, I was like, And then 0:55:07.280 --> 0:55:09.120 I said, the way we do videos, I got a 0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:09.760 different concept. 0:55:09.760 --> 0:55:12.040 I don't give everybody everything because term might do it. 0:55:12.920 --> 0:55:15.399 But yeah, it's a different way to shoot the video. 0:55:15.600 --> 0:55:16.600 Fat you know what I'm saying. 0:55:16.600 --> 0:55:21.279 Because he's talking real shit. It's almost against cinematic shit. Yeah, 0:55:21.640 --> 0:55:25.400 come out on some cinematic shit, bro, It'll be just 0:55:25.480 --> 0:55:27.760 a different looking field. When I look at all these videos, 0:55:27.800 --> 0:55:29.520 they just trying to get it done because they lower 0:55:29.640 --> 0:55:31.719 the budgets now and everyone's trying to do it for 0:55:32.000 --> 0:55:35.480 cheap and shasible, And that's why the game is suffering 0:55:35.560 --> 0:55:37.440 in my opinion, you know, because. 0:55:37.200 --> 0:55:40.040 Everybody cutting budgets, but it's they don't got the money. 0:55:40.120 --> 0:55:42.000 No more, man, the money ain't coming in like it 0:55:42.280 --> 0:55:45.160 was when we had it in that early two thousands. 0:55:45.239 --> 0:55:48.600 Bro that that that digital. I think these labels understand 0:55:48.680 --> 0:55:50.680 how to get that digital money. You know, they get 0:55:50.760 --> 0:55:51.480 more money. 0:55:51.320 --> 0:55:55.280 From like sponsors and brands, so it kind of offset 0:55:55.360 --> 0:55:58.520 some of the mechanical sale that we had with the 0:55:58.600 --> 0:56:01.440 expense is way less. If you, I don't want to 0:56:01.480 --> 0:56:04.080 say it's not doing good that the labels are still around. No, No, 0:56:04.200 --> 0:56:06.319 the music for a reason. These kids, because they make 0:56:06.840 --> 0:56:10.200 the three sixty's always there to merging and. 0:56:11.120 --> 0:56:13.080 It's not off the records. So I got you. No, 0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:14.520 it's not off the sale. 0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:17.880 But there's again, I know the stream is they're gonna 0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:20.359 have to do something like I'm doing with the TV, 0:56:20.719 --> 0:56:24.280 the movies and TVs where the distribution has to be different, 0:56:25.200 --> 0:56:26.640 you know, shout out. 0:56:26.560 --> 0:56:30.760 Rock Nation Distro.

You think of the NBA, 1:03:26.720 --> 1:03:29.960 there's only thirty two teams. There's only two rounds every year. 1:03:30.560 --> 1:03:34.000 Think of marsh madness, how many players don't get to 1:03:34.080 --> 1:03:35.440 the league fact. 1:03:35.680 --> 1:03:36.640 And then out of those. 1:03:36.560 --> 1:03:42.040 Sixty four, how many so old overseas?

We don't have all the shooters is 1:04:06.040 --> 1:04:08.880 from overseas. Everybody here we just know how to dribble. 1:04:09.360 --> 1:04:11.360 And I was saying there, I'm like, damn, that's kind 1:04:11.400 --> 1:04:12.840 of crazy. I ain't ever look at it. 1:04:12.920 --> 1:04:15.840 Like, you know, shooting like Curry has. 1:04:16.920 --> 1:04:19.160 Think of how many shoots shots he has to take 1:04:19.360 --> 1:04:20.360 to get that good. 1:04:20.560 --> 1:04:22.720 That's what I'm saying. Will take that practice. Man, you 1:04:22.800 --> 1:04:25.200 gotta work. That's working when you're exhaust you gotta go 1:04:25.400 --> 1:04:27.400 get it. Man, you gotta work for it. It's not 1:04:27.520 --> 1:04:29.640 gonna be just given to you if he wins. Another ring. 1:04:29.720 --> 1:04:30.440 Where do you put him? 1:04:30.600 --> 1:04:34.560 Oh, he's up there, he's number two. It's number two. 1:04:34.720 --> 1:04:37.240 He went another ring, he number two. And you look 1:04:37.280 --> 1:04:39.960 at the team he's got. He's got no good team, right, 1:04:40.120 --> 1:04:41.320 I mean when you when you go. 1:04:41.400 --> 1:04:44.120 Back, you gotta Dreammard who only would work good with him? 1:04:44.160 --> 1:04:46.280 You got it. Let's go to Clay when he was there. 1:04:48.040 --> 1:04:53.200 Clay was tough. But we're playing with playing with a 1:04:53.320 --> 1:04:56.280 great player like Curry Laundry. 1:04:56.520 --> 1:05:01.360 Good dollar though, and what was my other man? Who player? Homie? 1:05:01.400 --> 1:05:05.000 Who is a good dollar? A star? Is your role player? 1:05:06.040 --> 1:05:08.200 Thank you? He was a role player in Philly. He 1:05:08.360 --> 1:05:10.520 was a star in Golden State. He was the MVP 1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:11.480 of the finals. 1:05:11.520 --> 1:05:14.360 I could argue that, but there's another party. Again, he 1:05:14.440 --> 1:05:18.280 didn't average more points, but and again average impact. 1:05:18.560 --> 1:05:22.560 The impact is because of Draymond, no score. But he 1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:23.400 was a staff. 1:05:24.240 --> 1:05:26.080 You know, my sister was just talking to me just 1:05:26.200 --> 1:05:28.320 now and she says, the pace is she said she 1:05:28.480 --> 1:05:32.720 never liked Halliburton. Hold on, why she's this is my sister, 1:05:33.040 --> 1:05:35.000 you know, And she said, I didn't like Halliburton. So 1:05:35.040 --> 1:05:37.760 I but man, what are they won in twelve or 1:05:37.800 --> 1:05:42.440 something like that? Okay, he's not playing. Okay, his impact. Now, 1:05:42.480 --> 1:05:46.760 those role players when when it's see when sports is 1:05:46.800 --> 1:05:48.800 in and you talk to players, you could ask on 1:05:48.880 --> 1:05:52.400 what I'm saying when it's when that when that star 1:05:52.640 --> 1:05:55.800 isn't on that court and now it's you, the game 1:05:56.000 --> 1:05:58.920 on the other side is geared to stop you. Yeah, okay, 1:05:59.160 --> 1:06:01.920 that's what just happened to all those role players. If 1:06:02.000 --> 1:06:04.280 they get to stop Igual Dollar, what is he gonna do? 1:06:04.680 --> 1:06:08.040 It's only because he was jumping through the roof, dunking 1:06:08.160 --> 1:06:09.160 or niggas heads and. 1:06:11.480 --> 1:06:15.600 We cannot erase who he was. No, you're not gonna 1:06:15.640 --> 1:06:18.120 do that. Listen to me. I'm not. I'm saying he's 1:06:18.120 --> 1:06:21.760 a role player. He never was a start. 1:06:22.080 --> 1:06:25.760 He was a star only because Curry takes all that 1:06:25.880 --> 1:06:29.560 attention and then he's good enough. He's that good that 1:06:29.840 --> 1:06:31.880 if it's just him and that one player he buzzing 1:06:31.960 --> 1:06:34.040 that Nigga asked, See, that's the. 1:06:34.160 --> 1:06:37.919 Difference of a star. It's the difference of a star. 1:06:38.080 --> 1:06:40.280 Bro It's like you could go through the lage James, 1:06:41.360 --> 1:06:44.840 Jimmy Butler is older now, but he was at one 1:06:44.920 --> 1:06:46.320 point questions. 1:06:46.360 --> 1:06:47.440 At one point, I said. 1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:51.200 Yes, he's not now, he's not now, and I guarantee 1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:53.320 if you talk to him, he's gonna tell you how 1:06:53.400 --> 1:06:55.840 much he loves playing with Steph because it takes so 1:06:55.920 --> 1:06:57.880 much away from him with other players. 1:06:57.920 --> 1:06:59.840 It's no more dealing with twos and three. 1:07:00.640 --> 1:07:03.400 You know. You know I told you I cold aging 1:07:03.480 --> 1:07:06.200 or cole Many. Mante Ellens shout out, mante Ellis, man, 1:07:06.240 --> 1:07:08.480 that was one of my dudes. And he he was 1:07:08.600 --> 1:07:13.720 mad because David Lee got a Max contract. White boy dad. Yeah, 1:07:13.720 --> 1:07:16.160 I remember, shout out, David, that's my man. We's poking 1:07:16.200 --> 1:07:17.240 all that shit together. 1:07:17.400 --> 1:07:21.280 David Lee. Right, how you worried about it? A man 1:07:21.360 --> 1:07:26.320 is fill that's pople player in the world. You know 1:07:26.360 --> 1:07:26.800 what I'm saying. 1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:29.720 But David Lee got an eighty million dollar contract at 1:07:29.760 --> 1:07:32.680 the time, and mante Ellens said to me, he said, 1:07:32.760 --> 1:07:35.520 how's the nigga get eighty million and never a double 1:07:35.640 --> 1:07:39.320 team for him? See, this is when you start analyzing 1:07:39.400 --> 1:07:43.880 players and understand the differences and who's really who is. 1:07:44.000 --> 1:07:45.000 When you got a. 1:07:45.040 --> 1:07:48.440 Player that's taking all the attention and every team is 1:07:48.520 --> 1:07:50.880 good to stop them, you fall through the cracks. 1:07:50.920 --> 1:07:55.680 Bro. So that's why what are you talking about? 1:07:55.680 --> 1:07:59.640 Because Lebron the whole league the reps, every team, the players, 1:07:59.680 --> 1:08:01.560 the FA they've been getting towards him. 1:08:01.440 --> 1:08:04.520 Since he came out of high school. So he number 1:08:04.600 --> 1:08:08.080 one if he got this. You watched Lebron get double 1:08:08.160 --> 1:08:12.640 teams ten team, Yeah, the whole Detroit. He dunk on 1:08:12.720 --> 1:08:16.960 the whole team. Lebron is power and speed. He don't 1:08:17.000 --> 1:08:17.759 shake nobody. 1:08:17.800 --> 1:08:20.040 He's gonna run through. 1:08:20.280 --> 1:08:23.160 Understand, And you go about that. I would me first. 1:08:24.479 --> 1:08:26.640 When I watched when I watched Lebron, And again, I 1:08:26.680 --> 1:08:27.759 don't want to knock Lebron. 1:08:27.840 --> 1:08:29.800 Don't give me number one day. 1:08:30.200 --> 1:08:33.559 By your analogy, he's number one if you're talking about 1:08:33.840 --> 1:08:37.600 the main focus of the are you kidding me? 1:08:37.680 --> 1:08:37.840 Yeah? 1:08:37.880 --> 1:08:40.080 But them dudes was them dudes were coming on was 1:08:40.160 --> 1:08:42.519 plumbers man. He wasn't athletic. 1:08:42.720 --> 1:08:45.040 They already I don't want to go back and forth 1:08:45.080 --> 1:08:45.560 with you with this. 1:08:45.720 --> 1:08:47.360 Go look at the players that he played with. 1:08:47.520 --> 1:08:49.960 I'm not saying no, but I'm saying that my eyes 1:08:49.960 --> 1:08:52.200 play with eyes that I saw. 1:08:53.600 --> 1:08:55.120 Shorting this number one. 1:08:55.439 --> 1:08:59.920 I said, but it was knowledge electricians and makes little 1:09:00.080 --> 1:09:01.360 Raw number one because. 1:09:02.840 --> 1:09:06.040 Just because that analogy doesn't make him number one. So listen. 1:09:06.160 --> 1:09:09.800 So bj Armstrong was bj Armstrong and Jordan made him, 1:09:10.040 --> 1:09:14.600 but he wasn't a star role player. Paxton wasn't the 1:09:14.640 --> 1:09:15.679 start of the role players. 1:09:16.120 --> 1:09:19.600 What about what about what about her specialists? 1:09:19.640 --> 1:09:20.040 Role player? 1:09:20.080 --> 1:09:23.719 He can't he had them in history. 1:09:24.520 --> 1:09:28.800 That's just say no, the team is designed. Yeah, you 1:09:29.000 --> 1:09:30.920 need a person for these places. 1:09:31.040 --> 1:09:34.519 They knew three people's on Jordan's someone's open that's gonna 1:09:34.520 --> 1:09:37.120 be reliable to knock it down. So they got specialist Hodges. 1:09:37.320 --> 1:09:38.759 Fuck, then what about Craig Hodges. 1:09:39.400 --> 1:09:43.760 Craig Hodges got busy. I'm telling you, Yeah, they had specialists. 1:09:43.760 --> 1:09:46.760 That's how you designed the team. But that's how you 1:09:46.800 --> 1:09:48.120 gotta design it. I hear you. 1:09:49.439 --> 1:09:53.760 There's no team designed like that since Golden State. That's 1:09:53.800 --> 1:09:58.560 the only team since Chicago that was designed by the 1:09:58.800 --> 1:10:01.599 regular role player that dominated the game. 1:10:01.720 --> 1:10:02.679 How that happened? 1:10:03.240 --> 1:10:04.920 See, this is where you're missing this punt. 1:10:05.040 --> 1:10:08.240 It's the same happened. It's the same thing with Detroit Pistons. 1:10:08.280 --> 1:10:10.960 How they wore they one? They ring? How did it happen? 1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:14.639 The team together? But these niggas was all stars. It's 1:10:14.720 --> 1:10:18.200 just nobody wanted. I'm not talking about that Detroit.
