Speaker 1: what is what is the worst thing of the music industry?
Speaker 1: What is the worst the word money? You know, the
Speaker 1: worst thing A part of the worst thing about the
Speaker 1: industry is about is this you worked so hard? That
Speaker 1: is true. Sixty for promotion six I've never heard of.
Speaker 1: It was next plain to them, all the people that
Speaker 1: are promoting your records. When you want a major record label,
Speaker 1: they don't get paid till net six. Net six is
Speaker 1: an invoice. They get paid sixty days later. Six when
Speaker 1: I know I'm not gonna no, no, I'm on your page.
Speaker 1: I'm on your page. I'm not gonna label. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna some people page that one year shampoo when the
Speaker 1: nets time, when checks you know, so the guys that
Speaker 1: are working these records on the same I never heard
Speaker 1: of this, all the same pigure. You gotta understand this,
Speaker 1: no reason artists right, the artist has record label exact
Speaker 1: and reps. We don't tell the artists what we go through.
Speaker 1: We want to make sure the artists know you had
Speaker 1: a good time. Yeah, and absolutely all the money it's
Speaker 1: funded by the by the promoter. Absolutely fact we get
Speaker 1: our check guys there and they're getting back to be
Speaker 1: honest with they're not getting reimbursed, number one, just getting
Speaker 1: their fact their check. And it's signs and and and
Speaker 1: and it's times that you're with an artist I've never
Speaker 1: heard of it. And it's times that you legal fees
Speaker 1: for fucking sniper. It's time that you want. The thing
Speaker 1: is the artist never knows. You don't want to put
Speaker 1: your artists in that state of mind, like, don't worry
Speaker 1: about that bullshit. That's why they hires caused what we
Speaker 1: cause exactly we go through the storm we're going through.
Speaker 1: Let me to you and I don't need I want
Speaker 1: to ask you out something because from our era of
Speaker 1: doing the street team stuff, y'all still signing the waiver
Speaker 1: for for for like putting up but the snipe snipe,
Speaker 1: snipe snipe, there's no more. Back in the day. Side, yeah,
Speaker 1: back in the days, you know, you know how you
Speaker 1: saw your posters everywhere. We had to sign a waiver
Speaker 1: that released the label from the obligation. And I have
Speaker 1: to get props real quick to Echo because we worked
Speaker 1: for Echo Clothing and Echoes. The street dude to the
Speaker 1: graffiti and they came in. They made us sign the
Speaker 1: same waiver, but they flew me out to his headquarters.
Speaker 1: We signed the waiver and then his lawyer was there
Speaker 1: and when he walked away, and then the lawyer came
Speaker 1: back and said, y'all signed that, that's official. But if
Speaker 1: anybody in your team gets locked up for that, here's
Speaker 1: my card, y'all call me and I'm gonna bail them out.
Speaker 1: Not everybody to do that. But one thing, one thing
Speaker 1: hardists don't know. That's the good every one thing artists
Speaker 1: don't realize. One thing hartists don't realize. Right, it was
Speaker 1: the era of back in the day when I was
Speaker 1: working Jaro Exitus album and fed Joe's album, right, and
Speaker 1: this is when the fifties cent and the fed Joe's ship,
Speaker 1: and the ship was going down. It was going down,
Speaker 1: it was going out, like people don't understand. People don't
Speaker 1: understand the war on the street. That was campaign for right,
Speaker 1: so hold on, let me, I want to cut your wisdom. Right.
Speaker 1: This is this talking about how the artists are understand
Speaker 1: being that like being that g unit. No, no, it
Speaker 1: was Violator, God bless on Chris Lider, Violator, Violator writer.
Speaker 1: Fat Joe was on Capitol at that time, so they
Speaker 1: hired me to do Capital and I was doing death
Speaker 1: Jam all right. So I'm doing I'm doing I'm doing
Speaker 1: I'm doing Rules Exit this album, and I'm doing somebody
Speaker 1: else right and I'm doing Um Terror Squad, I mean
Speaker 1: Fat Joe's album. We're still doing that now. Violator, send
Speaker 1: out now violated, hold on, violated. So Violator says, these
Speaker 1: two niggas can't live in the street. So now they're
Speaker 1: ripping down all the posters. So as you're working crazy
Speaker 1: putting up the post you are all night. You are
Speaker 1: all night, three four or five in the morning, and
Speaker 1: these motherfucker's are ripping and shipped down. Remind you there
Speaker 1: with the Krita hurricane that year, because it was the
Speaker 1: empty award. Yeah, so now I'm fighting all these but
Speaker 1: that year. But what I'm trying to explain to you
Speaker 1: all is that the artists don't understand the war we
Speaker 1: go through because why the labels like, yo, we have
Speaker 1: to get John Rou's album Exodus moving. We need Fat
Speaker 1: Joe ship moving and violated like anything, shake and tear
Speaker 1: it down. So now, so now I'm out here putting
Speaker 1: up the ship and I'm going three blocks down and
Speaker 1: I come back all this ship's ripped down. So I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: who the fund is doing this ship? So I'm walking
Speaker 1: around looking around. Finally, you know, going around, I see
Speaker 1: a violated truck going bomb like they didn't go right there.
Speaker 1: So now you gotta chase that motherfuck the truck down
Speaker 1: and beat them niggers up as wall and it's real,
Speaker 1: it's real life. It's real life beef. But remember you
Speaker 1: don't know the artists and you're doing it. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: don't even let you the You you don't even get
Speaker 1: in the club because why they didn't give you a
Speaker 1: wrist band. The street team guy stand outside and now
Speaker 1: you're battling for for for position. So now violators ripping
Speaker 1: everything down. Exodus j Rus no good in the street.
Speaker 1: Fat Joe is no good in the street. These niggas
Speaker 1: gotta go at fifty cent is raining, so we gotta
Speaker 1: battle now. Is beef is real life beef. So now
Speaker 1: we're fighting these niggas, we're scrapping. We like this is
Speaker 1: real blood. Niggas is spelling real blood in street. And
Speaker 1: then Sean present Pec had to come together out the
Speaker 1: side of that time. They had to come to us
Speaker 1: like Jaz and Puffy hangs out j M. You know
Speaker 1: they know the fucking the hants that have fucking martinis.
Speaker 1: You notice, right, y'all. Niggas gott happened to me had
Speaker 1: a good We had a good vibe with helping on
Speaker 1: with other teams. We never disched each other. Nobody fucked
Speaker 1: with us. Now. It was fine. It was found real
Speaker 1: talk we had when out of town niggers came in
Speaker 1: out of town motherfuckers, and that's what we had to
Speaker 1: fight them. That was that was difference. We always help
Speaker 1: each other down, like we always say, Yo, get that
Speaker 1: block over there, sweetness, something we overhere. You know, we
Speaker 1: always help keep it going. But jah Ru ruined Fat Joe.
Speaker 1: Then no I'm sorry, Fat Joe knew Ru didn't know
Speaker 1: the battle we were going through in the shop, DJP,
Speaker 1: I had the junior account and you had that account.
Speaker 1: When you're talking about what unit, is that what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. I remember I was his assistant. We remember
Speaker 1: we even met up in the corner. We we started fighting. Nigga.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Pool. I'm like, holy ship Woo has
Speaker 1: no idea that was me. I'm looking at you around
Speaker 1: like it was me. It was wolf, it was unn.
Speaker 1: It was on the street. All the buildings that you
Speaker 1: see on Biscaine right, they were all being built when
Speaker 1: we were doing street teams. So it's nothing but gates.
Speaker 1: So all we did was put up our posters. But
Speaker 1: then when niggas left at two am, I was there
Speaker 1: at three am, and then this nigga was there at
Speaker 1: four am posters. Yes you gotta. It was a competition war.
Speaker 1: And I don't know you rule. I never made you.
Speaker 1: And and the other part of the story is when
Speaker 1: the cops catch you, ain't no label coming to save you.
Speaker 1: No one. The label is not gonna bail you out.
Speaker 1: Nobody You're doing it for it comes you, don't. We
Speaker 1: just find That's why the street team stuff is a
Speaker 1: culture in itself. It is a culture. And look look
Speaker 1: at Pooh, he's no me for what years? For a minute,
Speaker 1: like I grew up under him, Like I looked up
Speaker 1: to him when I would be on conference calls and
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to talk like you you're not You
Speaker 1: can't talk. You don't know why why couldn't you talk?
Speaker 1: Because she's just starting. I was starting staring. So he
Speaker 1: wasn't a market leaders. You ain't battling this ship. But
Speaker 1: you are Miami market leaders now. Now we're just starting.
Speaker 1: She just starting at that time. What you guys are
Speaker 1: in conference back then was was Jack's um epps? Yeah, Max,
Speaker 1: who are you working for at the time? For all
Speaker 1: those things that he just mentioned? But who were you
Speaker 1: the Miami rep? No, she was just the conference call.
Speaker 1: I'm the Miami rep. Right, I'm talking with them. You
Speaker 1: about it like the student became the teacher, Like I
Speaker 1: played my position and did what I had to do,
Speaker 1: and there was no no I know what you did.
Speaker 1: And the more the what I'm trying to explain is
Speaker 1: like when Nori what told me when I was working
Speaker 1: his record before? He was like, yo, I didn't know
Speaker 1: you go through this ship. I didn't know you never knew.
Speaker 1: I never knew you did this. You know one one,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I definitely
Speaker 1: want to pick up. I definitely want to pick up.
Speaker 1: I definitely want to pick up Fat Joe because Fat
Speaker 1: Joe when when he was independent and he said in
Speaker 1: the Independent, but he had a capital deal, I mean
Speaker 1: Battery Records, um deal, and he put out his album
Speaker 1: and we was going told the toll war for everybody.
Speaker 1: For Fat Joe. Fat Joe was like, Yo, Shampoo, where
Speaker 1: you at? I said you, I'm over. He's like, yo,
Speaker 1: meet me here and gave me a thousand dollars out
Speaker 1: of his pocket. Like Yo, my nigga, I see what
Speaker 1: you're doing. I appreciate you here. Artists ain't Niggies don't
Speaker 1: do that. Biggs don't do that. They don't understand with
Speaker 1: the sacrifice that we put in to get them their
Speaker 1: visualility because there wasn't hot. There wasn't hot. They think
Speaker 1: all the money that they're giving us we keep, but
Speaker 1: we don't. Don't. We keep left in half because we're
Speaker 1: taking care of the city because we don't need. First
Speaker 1: of all, let's be honest. The regulator pays bullshit, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and then we get because keep honest all the way
Speaker 1: over pays bullshit. They pay all us as a company,
Speaker 1: and you have employees and in the mood and I
Speaker 1: ain't looking for no regular label or no deal or not.
Speaker 1: But that's how the true. So how did they treat
Speaker 1: the Street team or the street team? It was always
Speaker 1: look if you allowed to be disrespected. I'm not and
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this because I'm on the show and
Speaker 1: I'm talking shit, I really promise you. I was always
Speaker 1: the person that he was the boss. No, no, I
Speaker 1: was always foul on the conference call. I was always argumentive,
Speaker 1: but you know me, I was always talking, but I
Speaker 1: was always talking back to the person runder the conference call.
Speaker 1: I hated conference calls number one because you had someone
Speaker 1: on the conference and they talk ship and everybody in
Speaker 1: the sub in the submarkets were just listening and this
Speaker 1: guy's barking on everybody, and it's like, yo, fucking dude, man,
Speaker 1: fun this motherfucker you guys. And I'm not gonna name
Speaker 1: no names, but one of those dudes came to Miami
Speaker 1: embarked on me. I said, but where are you fell blue,
Speaker 1: I'm coming. When I saw him, he said, no, I
Speaker 1: was just playing brover. But I worked for death Jame
Speaker 1: at the time. That's the only thing I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: every time, and even worse, especially when when do you
Speaker 1: just want to show their plats and all that the
Speaker 1: bathroom bathroom for me? Do we get a bathroom bread? Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody gets a break hold on, hold on, not to
Speaker 1: shake a break a cigarette break too. Everybody go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom. Roll up you, Mr the Lee, give me
Speaker 1: one a little a little bit of something I ain't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Stopped. You've got so many accounts. Back guys,
Speaker 1: told you to relax to right back guys, backus, backup, guys, guys, guys,
Speaker 1: back guys. Was the one guy guys left you, but
Speaker 1: I know he did. He left me. He went, he
Speaker 1: went to our nation, became the big guy. But back
Speaker 1: guys with the guy, God bless him. When he fired
Speaker 1: THEO Brown. He came to me, you know, he came
Speaker 1: to me. When he came to me and was like, yo, Pool,
Speaker 1: come come outside with me. And like whenever of the
Speaker 1: senior VP tells you, yo, come take a walk with you,
Speaker 1: like you like, oh, here about to find me. So
Speaker 1: he's like, yo, come walk with me. So I walk
Speaker 1: outside with him. He's like, Yo, I know THEO brought
Speaker 1: you in and that's your man, right. I'm like yeah.
Speaker 1: He was like yo, but after for July weekend, we're
Speaker 1: about to let him go. I just want to let
Speaker 1: you know. You know what I mean. I want to
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna do. I said with you sorry,
Speaker 1: but to me, being a real nigger, I told they're
Speaker 1: gonna fire you guys. It was like, nah, they I
Speaker 1: got a contract. I got a contract, Like nah, I
Speaker 1: was about to back you out there. He was like nah.
Speaker 1: And and then he called me like some bullshit fun
Speaker 1: these nigga they let me go. Then let me go
Speaker 1: pull it in me like I told you told me.
Speaker 1: And then Peg has Peg has a found name. Bull
Speaker 1: coming on. I want to talk to you, yo, I
Speaker 1: want you to deal job. I'm like, I'm in what
Speaker 1: I gotta do? You ain't charging of all these niggas,
Speaker 1: go go, go go. We got a new orders called
Speaker 1: Fucking the snow Man. We got a new nigger called
Speaker 1: Rick Cross. He got a record called Hustler, and we
Speaker 1: got a new girl from Barbados. That's called Rihanna. That
Speaker 1: was a big movement like we had, like we had
Speaker 1: like millions of and we had to make it a lot.
Speaker 1: You know. You look, you can relate. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: getting something that the Nori could relate to where he
Speaker 1: understands a little bit more than now. You will, you will,
Speaker 1: you can relate to it. By the way, when I
Speaker 1: was pushing some rock on you, he likes to throw
Speaker 1: this out there. No I have to. I have to
Speaker 1: because it makes sense. So what we're talking about right now,
Speaker 1: like the beginning is the beginning to push my job
Speaker 1: working for President, they didn't even have the rock company
Speaker 1: pushing it yet. It was going through p M I
Speaker 1: Moves Inc. And President them. They would send me a
Speaker 1: case and they were like, yo, push just to the tastemakers.
Speaker 1: The taste makers was like, I don't want it. I
Speaker 1: would push it to good. I couldn't give it away
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So what I'm trying to say the
Speaker 1: point of this is is that it's the same thing,
Speaker 1: like look at where it's at now. It takes so
Speaker 1: much blood, sweat and tears, a lot of rejection. That's
Speaker 1: what the Street Team world is that's what the promotion
Speaker 1: world is. That's what we don't have. No means, we
Speaker 1: don't have. And then when it's all said and done,
Speaker 1: nobody remembers the person that was on the battlefield in
Speaker 1: the beginning. But we know that absolutely, and we don't
Speaker 1: have anybody to recognize that but ourselves. And to be fair,
Speaker 1: it's only a small group of us. Like you, if
Speaker 1: you hire a shampoo, you gotta hire a sweetness if
Speaker 1: you are sweeten. But is there anybody? Is there anybody
Speaker 1: that you personally felt like you did so much for
Speaker 1: their career? Hell yeah, all of them and they don't
Speaker 1: recognize you. But but you know what it is, it's
Speaker 1: not that's the right. Yeah. Yeah, he's from Merrimories, from
Speaker 1: Miami something my motherfucking couch. Yes, yeah, but you know what,
Speaker 1: Like I said, who want? But like I said, I'm
Speaker 1: in hip hop. He turned pop, which I knew he wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Who wants to work with the person that soothes At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I'm in hip hop. I'm
Speaker 1: not in the pop world, and I don't want to
Speaker 1: be in the pop world. I don't want to do country,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do nothing. I'm in hip hop.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to be a part of. I
Speaker 1: want to be a part of hip hop history. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Like I said, I will take that l
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, I am who
Speaker 1: I am and I got so much more going on.
Speaker 1: So why so why are you even bothered? But you
Speaker 1: don't have to take the l Quiet, that's why we're
Speaker 1: talking right now. I mean right, what I'm saying, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that never take that out quiet, But
Speaker 1: in hip hobably you have to. You have to because
Speaker 1: because now now you become a threat. Now you're aggressive.
Speaker 1: Now be aggressive? Right right? Yeah? You better? And what
Speaker 1: they do, what they do? What they do? Okay, I'm better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but what they do they fire you, and how are
Speaker 1: you underling? And they've done that. You know what you do,
Speaker 1: then you remix your career and you keep it moving down.
Speaker 1: But then then it's hard for you to get back in. No, No,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go back in. I elevated. I
Speaker 1: moved forward, not to everybody. Is that for? Well? I
Speaker 1: don't know if Sweetness remembers or nose or remembers. I
Speaker 1: worked just like you. I worked every we work. We
Speaker 1: worked actually the whole company. The whole company, we had
Speaker 1: every account under the sun. I admire that. And then
Speaker 1: you guys know, I'm sure you understand it as the
Speaker 1: industry champion team right here. As the industry change, the
Speaker 1: different underlings to undercut. So if you did it for
Speaker 1: a thousand or a month, they did it for eight
Speaker 1: hundred a month. And then and then it started shifting,
Speaker 1: right and the people that you kind of like trained
Speaker 1: and helped them and show them the way. We're checking
Speaker 1: your accounts. So what do you do. It's either one
Speaker 1: which I wanted to beat all the asses, and then
Speaker 1: you just keep it moving and just remixing into another career,
Speaker 1: do other things, other things. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We still kept other accounts, but that's that's the type
Speaker 1: of career that we chose. That's the hold. I want
Speaker 1: to ask you a question, when did you stop and say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I can't do that anymore because and
Speaker 1: and and in our world we still doing that and
Speaker 1: we're still what you say, like you don't even know
Speaker 1: that transitioned from being a record promoter to im now
Speaker 1: I'm a DJ manager And I know you had a
Speaker 1: conversation one of my DJs, and he was like, yo,
Speaker 1: he actually thinks he's a great ideals Like absolutely, it
Speaker 1: was natural for us because we've known each other for
Speaker 1: so long. But let's let's be real and let's be
Speaker 1: business with us. We know that I'm only as strong
Speaker 1: as you and you're only as strong as me. As
Speaker 1: we keep our positions together, I'm gonna use you and
Speaker 1: use me, but let's be real with each other. What
Speaker 1: you're asking me right now? Back to my question, what
Speaker 1: made you say I don't want to work? It was
Speaker 1: never about not It was that we were we were
Speaker 1: we were doing something. It made money. We had a
Speaker 1: recession in the United States. When the recession happened, you
Speaker 1: have to look at the economically. Was it's not just
Speaker 1: the industry. The industry was suffering then the recession at
Speaker 1: this time. Yeah, well, I mean I'm always a DJ forever.
Speaker 1: I paid my dues as a DJ. Some my motherfucking DJ.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I did in the clubs
Speaker 1: every day for mad years. So get through the recession. No,
Speaker 1: we were the only people. We're the only people that
Speaker 1: you can hire. Like. We made it a point that
Speaker 1: when you come into this market, when you come into
Speaker 1: this lane, when you come into this label and the
Speaker 1: music business, and in this city, the only people you
Speaker 1: can hire is this person or that person. But to
Speaker 1: what he's asking me, though, not to cut you off,
Speaker 1: but to what he's asking me. What the recession started
Speaker 1: to make people the underlings, like you mentioned, undercutting the
Speaker 1: people in the market. And this I'm sure it's happening
Speaker 1: market wise nationally. So the young dudes that were the
Speaker 1: interns or whatever of all the promoters started saying, you
Speaker 1: make a g I'll do it for five hunted. So
Speaker 1: what happened was I can't do it for five hunted.
Speaker 1: And then when and then there was a shift of
Speaker 1: the guard. People from the labels started moving around because
Speaker 1: of the because of the recession or because of some
Speaker 1: other ship started shifting. They were leaving their positions. And
Speaker 1: when people leave positions, they started looking for other people
Speaker 1: who are gonna be loyal to them. And so all
Speaker 1: that shifting it happened, started changing the money, changing the
Speaker 1: accounts that were coming to us, and then we all
Speaker 1: had to make What was the year that you just
Speaker 1: said no no more, no more working records? I know
Speaker 1: if you call me right now, say will what are
Speaker 1: you pay? What are we doing? But to be fair,
Speaker 1: can you really deliver where you delivered five years ago?
Speaker 1: And that's my point. I will never point as to
Speaker 1: what I was saying. I will never do anything that
Speaker 1: I cannot do. Honestly, I get it. I'm saying that
Speaker 1: we've cornered the market to the point it's like, if
Speaker 1: you want to go that route, we're the only one's
Speaker 1: that can do it. And that's why you gotta pass
Speaker 1: where he passed at the end of the day, point
Speaker 1: keep it going. What happened was what happened was the
Speaker 1: street team guys became executives, so they forgot about the
Speaker 1: beginning of it. Absolutely the conversation of the DJ now
Speaker 1: their conversation is with the p D and the empty
Speaker 1: It's not about yo, did you hear this record again? Now?
Speaker 1: Is I need these slots? What? What? What's what's gonna
Speaker 1: cost me? So it's a different conversations with the guys
Speaker 1: that started all the guerrilla marketing. They're gone. There's only
Speaker 1: a few of us that still believe in the beginning
Speaker 1: of the roots of the ship. We're gonna start. We
Speaker 1: need to start beating up DJs again. Why would and
Speaker 1: I'm the one does it. Why But you're blaming the
Speaker 1: wrong wrong, You're blaming the wrong d You can't do that.
Speaker 1: They've done that because look, as a businessman, wor you now.
Speaker 1: But as a businessman, we work multiple artists, so you
Speaker 1: have to pick and choose your battles. So I'm working
Speaker 1: for deaf Jam and working for Epic. I'm working for
Speaker 1: Universal Epic. Epic got a hot ass record right now,
Speaker 1: but def Jam is cold. I can't beat you all
Speaker 1: because you working You're not working with records. But say, yo,
Speaker 1: right now, I'm working with you. But that's the game.
Speaker 1: You can't do that. You can't do that. Okay, right here,
Speaker 1: we don't tell me you got you, but but you
Speaker 1: got tough skins. But that's what But that's why he
Speaker 1: said when bitter, you don't put plug my artist, and
Speaker 1: you can't do that for you. But that's the funk,
Speaker 1: whether it be m d's or p DS being honesty,
Speaker 1: there's something that I call the industry talk. They will
Speaker 1: tell you what the funding to tell you to get
Speaker 1: you the funk out there back for that one point
Speaker 1: five seconds, I got you, my dog whatever called sweetness,
Speaker 1: you got me whatever whoever. But what you're doing is
Speaker 1: when you're trying to get on a round the record.
Speaker 1: You know, my favorite line is you know I like
Speaker 1: to be yeah, but this is the thing. I'm good.
Speaker 1: There's the thing about it. As a music executive, you
Speaker 1: have to keep working the records no matter the ups
Speaker 1: and downside, because you can't get caught up. You can't
Speaker 1: get caught up in the label. You believe in the
Speaker 1: know how to work the record. You have to keep going.
Speaker 1: Didn't even think psychologically. But if you think psychologically, I
Speaker 1: bet you. I can ask everybody in this room and
Speaker 1: ain't know one radio commercial one a hundred phone one
Speaker 1: pain consistency. And that's what I'm saying, like, if you consistently,
Speaker 1: here's something, even if it's just a course, that's what
Speaker 1: we're programming. That's what I'm saying that that's programming in
Speaker 1: the brain. But that's what we do, even if the
Speaker 1: DJ just plays the chorus and that's all they recognize
Speaker 1: when they hear the radio. That's like Shampoo said, sometimes
Speaker 1: feje someone she's saying right now, that's real, that's real,
Speaker 1: that's real. But I'm in saying that science. What you're
Speaker 1: saying to science, which is why I know for a fact,
Speaker 1: like if I know if this DJ plays it at this,
Speaker 1: that's why I tell I was like, all I need
Speaker 1: is thirty seconds. I don't care. On the radio, we
Speaker 1: only need a minute thirty second for it to register.
Speaker 1: But I only need thirty seconds for somebody to be like,
Speaker 1: I just heard this in the club last night over
Speaker 1: that you had it in your pocket? Has a gun
Speaker 1: you were doing? You had that? You just got pat Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, I do have patience. I'm in the club.
Speaker 1: That's why you don't worry. You don't know. But I've
Speaker 1: been in the clubs time out. Listen, I've been in
Speaker 1: the club. If you want to hear about patients. When
Speaker 1: I started working ten minutes ago with y'all, and I can't,
Speaker 1: we say no, let's speak from with Eddie. Eddie was
Speaker 1: here because he was my comp He was your mentor
Speaker 1: absolute no, he was my comp nobody. He was also
Speaker 1: my teacher. He was my love. He was your son,
Speaker 1: say hello. He was my son's saying say something. But
Speaker 1: mind you, I had to be in the club. I
Speaker 1: had to be at the club, forty pounds of vinyl
Speaker 1: on my back at ten what are you fucking? That
Speaker 1: was good day, That was a good day to day vinyl,
Speaker 1: that was good good. That's a difference, But that's a
Speaker 1: difference between how many the kitchen widow sweetness. But this
Speaker 1: is the difference between then and now. Back then, DJs
Speaker 1: appreciated when you was the record record and you get
Speaker 1: that vinyl. God, remember that vinyl. I remember I used
Speaker 1: to do that, met and greets Oxygen little posted on
Speaker 1: your vinyl like thank you for holding me down, love you.
Speaker 1: I had my post it back back in the day.
Speaker 1: She's a girl, girl, don't forget, don't forget, she's a girl.
Speaker 1: But telling the truth like for meal, like you was there,
Speaker 1: he was even you was there. I'm sorry if you
Speaker 1: was there, we've been no. No, what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: The trailer he was, He was in the trailer. He
Speaker 1: was in the trailer. I'm gonna tell you something for this,
Speaker 1: For the sake of a segue, for the sake of
Speaker 1: a segway, we used to have the DJ meeting greets
Speaker 1: at Cream back in the days, all of us, calid included,
Speaker 1: we have to come there and pick up records. And
Speaker 1: for the sake of a segue, and Eddie copy and
Speaker 1: then started a massive beat. People appreciated that that's when
Speaker 1: the gun and that's this superway before that, before you
Speaker 1: have to address the elephant in the room. You're an
Speaker 1: addressed elephant with what was the elephant? Gucci for Dora?
Speaker 1: Was there a problem with Colid and who? No, man, no, no,
Speaker 1: what there is there's history, So I want to address
Speaker 1: it when we come on the show with Calin, not
Speaker 1: to address it on some negative ship, just to laugh
Speaker 1: about it, because there's laughable history, laughable history and had
Speaker 1: to do with you, and it had to do with you.
Speaker 1: That's what I think. It's hilarious. Aga, you are a
Speaker 1: common denominator of the history with Calin. I got to
Speaker 1: relax for nothing because we're putting way too much on it.

Speaker 1: understand Like when when Buster called me, I was I
Speaker 1: was about three years seven, seven. Yeah, no no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: three years from now and it's been almost twelve, so
Speaker 1: nine years in the game. And I was called by
Speaker 1: a record label rep who does the whole nationality. His
Speaker 1: name is Shadow, and he was like, Yo, busted, Yeah,
Speaker 1: shout out to Shadow, one of my biggest mentors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like Busters about to call you. And I was like,
Speaker 1: for what, Like what's going on? And this was actually,
Speaker 1: um about a week and a half before Revolt, the
Speaker 1: first Revolt, not just Revo, the first revoltwork. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: the whole Miami conference. Yeah, and it's like it's gonna
Speaker 1: be in Miami. And Shadow was like, I've had I've
Speaker 1: called to other people and they're the one they represent.
Speaker 1: They said that you're the one. He's like, but I
Speaker 1: don't know how Bus is going to feel about a female,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get a record played in the standing.
Speaker 1: It's like, just have him call me. So when Buster
Speaker 1: calls me, honestly, I didn't believe it. I don't know
Speaker 1: about him. I was like, all right, Shadow, y'all cute,
Speaker 1: hung up and calls me back. He's like, Yo, you're
Speaker 1: sweep us from Miami. You work records. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, he's like this this bust the ROMs,
