We got a lot to talk 86 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: about today. I want to be completely honest that so 87 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: many different thoughts going on in my mind, that so 88 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: many different opinions and things I gotta process and work through. 89 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: If you've been watching meet then you already know, like 90 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: I see some of the moves. I'm sitting back trying 91 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: to make sure interviews is in order and in placing. 92 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: I'm seeing them moves. I'm saying yo, normally, yo, world, 93 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: you gotta speak on it. That's just my opinion, you know, 94 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: as far as the coach is concerned. Like there's a 95 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: lot of people talking, I just don't the opinions. I 96 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: don't share the same sentiments. I don't share the same mindset, mindframe. 97 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 6: Right. 98 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: We don't endulge in the same things. We don't enjoy 99 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: the same things, right, And so I have to come 100 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: with an enhanced, involved, indestructible opinion because it cannot be 101 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: the same opinion as these guys, because we clearly see 102 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: the world different. Right. Number one, let's pay respect to 103 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,559 Speaker 1: Rich Homi Kuan. For those who are unaware, Southern rapper 104 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: Rich Homie Kuan was found in his girlfriend's house on 105 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: her couch, un alive or repeater Rich home Quard. So 106 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: we want to definitely pay out respects to Rich Homi 107 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: car And he showed me a lot of love. He's 108 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: always reached out to me. My condolences to the family. 109 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: When he came and seen me, had Guc and Monte 110 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: with him, and the vibe was just so good. You know, 111 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: when we talk about rich Homik Kuaar for those of 112 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: you that are young but maybe just out of touch 113 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: as to you know what he really does. When we 114 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: talk about ushering in the sound that you're dealing with nowadays, right, 115 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: you deal with the auto tune, that singing on the 116 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: trap beats, that wasn't a thing before the rich Homi Kuaar's, 117 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: the Reds de Shahs. You wouldn't have a rod wave 118 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: if that lineage wasn't created way back in the day 119 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: with those guys just playing with the beat, you know, 120 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: like now you'll see branches off each other's tree. So 121 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: rich Ho mk Kwaan was responsible for ushering in that sound, 122 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: not alone, but he was a very big part. I'm 123 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: gonna deal with the atmosphere and the market in just 124 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: a second, but I want to get give y'all a 125 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: couple of his accolades. And so we're talking about rich 126 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: On mc kuan, who in twenty thirteen had type of 127 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: way right, and that's what kind of took him to 128 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: mainstream success. He was signed with TIG that label is 129 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: known for dealing with not only him, but wife and 130 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: Luci and other acts. And so rich On mc quhan 131 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: had a pause in his career because he had to 132 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: deal with the legal side of things while the money 133 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: was rolling in. We hear a lot of artists and 134 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: ex artists always talk about work stoppage, and that's what 135 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: rich On mc quhan had to deal with. That was 136 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: a work stoppage until I can get this situation because 137 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: I feel as though that there's too much money that 138 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: we ain't allocated in the right way. So I need 139 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: to really really take a look at that, and if 140 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: my career has to stop, to do that to make 141 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: sure that y'all want continue to profit and continue to 142 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: be able to what he would probably consider as fudge 143 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: the numbers, right. So es imagine if I'm going to 144 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: court with a label and we're fighting from twenty thirteen 145 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: to twenty fifteen, and I got him in court for 146 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: those two years, but now we're in twenty sixteen, I 147 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: got another hit. Our contract is still active. Therefore the 148 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: money is still allocated in the way of whatever contract 149 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: that's in place, so there's more to dump on it, 150 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: and there's ways for them to now start to pencil 151 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: whoop you moving forward to rights. It's all about a 152 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: paper trailer. So his work stoppage was part of the 153 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: reason in my opinion that it kind of slowed him down. 154 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: But we're talking about twenty thirteen type of way propelled 155 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: him to mainstream status, meant join forces with Young Thug 156 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: and bird Man. It did the Rich Game collected. We're 157 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: gonna talk about bird Man and why we so called 158 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: having seen a post from him. I don't know if 159 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: Yo God is post or not. The Rich Game Tour 160 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: Park one was released in twenty fourteen. That's where the 161 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: record lifestyle comes from. We're dealing with Nominated for Best 162 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: New Artists in fourteen.

Right, Let's say that they are someone that 258 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: takes pills. They're asking for fentanyl in their pills. And 259 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: these are verbatim statements where you will hear them get 260 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: in or ask for it. Got a little bit of 261 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: their fendal in it right and shut out.

But that's not something you need to answer 265 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: because what if they wearing a why? And this is 266 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: my people in the FEDT So his mindset is flipped. 267 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: He's watching everything he done cost him ten and I'm 268 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: in the middle of See, I'm a people watcher and 269 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: I diest information.

Pay attention, right, So when my people tell 273 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: me that, that's one thing. But let's deal with the 274 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: harsh reality people are asking. Yo, doesn't have fitanald lin it? 275 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: I won't it with just enough, not enough to kill me, 276 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: but enough to keep me like it had me last time.

There's people with six addictions and opio 282 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: or the right. Human beings have a switch. They can 283 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: be turned on by almost anything that they indulge in 284 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: and they enjoy at a high level. And so when 285 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: they got that fit, now, whenever time they got it, 286 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: you ask yourself how they know the difference is because 287 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: the next time they got something that was right, maybe 288 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: without it, they didn't get that same feeling. So now 289 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: they got a craven for the fending off. So what 290 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: are they asking?

And you may have comobilities, 294 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: I may not have even I may have limited understanding 295 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: of the chemistry that's involved with these compounds were putting 296 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: together and in how to fix you as a person. 297 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: But for that money, you think I'm gonna miss that money. 298 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna miss that money. And so in the 299 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: ghetto you're dealing with that. But we didn't bring fitting 300 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: all over from the ghetto. It was delivered here and 301 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: it continues to be delivered here, and so that should 302 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: be looked into. But a lot of low level drug 303 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: dealers don't even know when they got fitningal these niggas. 304 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: It's above they paid grade.

They just got a bad betch 316 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: and they don't know the difference. Unfortunate reality about addiction. 317 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: Is a lot of the people that look down on 318 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: each other's addictions have addictions.

It's the same with the Webmen Boots effect. 373 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: If you remember Webb, It took off before Boots and 374 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: people kind of counting Boots out and then he helped 375 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: him down and passed him, and it kind of felt 376 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: like that were Rich Homi Quard and in death I 377 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: don't really want to compare them to but in the South, 378 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: when you paid attention to it, Quard had took off 379 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: and Thug was in the back, and then Thug kind 380 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: of kind of double to speed up you did what 381 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying and kind of took the lead. When we 382 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: really look at Thug and rich Home's relationship, it wasn't 383 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: really that much time together. You know. The music was 384 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: so good and the moment was so deep that people 385 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: associate them like they was homeboys and grew up together. 386 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: But then folks really didn't grow up together. They met 387 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: alone the journey, you see what I'm saying, and think 388 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: that music puts us in a daze to be like, man, 389 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: they were sold. They knew each other for so long. 390 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: It's like they was together for a year, two years, 391 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: three years maybe, and then that shit broke up. And 392 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: that's literally maybe all the time. And we ain't talking 393 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: about knowing each other just with what you doing. I'm 394 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: talking about why I'm really fucking with you man, while 395 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: I'm fucking with your people.

See the position that I'm 569 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: in as a podcast, and so it takes a high 570 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: level thinker they even be able to craft up some 571 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: of these analogies and some of these conversations that we're 572 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: about to dive into. But I do want you guys 573 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: to know that this is when the this is the 574 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: podcast one on one. It's like, as a person in media, 575 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: you look at this and you understand that while I'm 576 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: happy for Kendrick Lamar, I'm interested in understanding why the 577 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: South couldn't be celebrated in the South. Now there is 578 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: a conversation to be had. We will deal with both sides, 579 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: because again over here, we like to deal with information. 580 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: When you deal with the masses, whether the community saying, well, 581 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: number one, Wayne forgets his lyrics. Are we sure we 582 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: want to fight about a dude that forgets his lyrics? 583 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: Now we're dealing with Kendrick Lamar that went up there 584 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: on the pop Out tour and wrap for two hours 585 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: non stop without a drink. Now we're talking about Wayne. 586 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: This is the conversation online. I will rebuke that in 587 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. If you're telling me that the 588 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: artist's biggest little Wayne Runk, be prepared for a Super 589 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: Bowl appearance in New Orleans, Let's cut the shit out 590 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: against and get to the real conversation. Let's cut the 591 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: shit out against and get to the real conversation. But 592 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: you deal with that, And so again, there's several conversations 593 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 1: to be had. One is without this where their record 594 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: die out, Like when we being realistic about the record, 595 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: not like us, it looks like it's dying out. We're 596 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: about to put it on the grass stage to call 597 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 1: this Drake guy a PDF file in front of the world. 598 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: If I'm Drake, I'm viewing this like a terrorist attack, 599 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: like they're trying to crush the buildings. If they're trying 600 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: to put this song on the main stage, right, because 601 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: what other run do we have now, Kendrick is a 602 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: very celebrated artist, a great phenomenal artist. Again, congratulations to 603 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar. A very monumental accomplishment Historically when we talk 604 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: about the Super Bowl performance, to have time performance some 605 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: of the biggest names in the world ever. But let's 606 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: peel the layers back and deal with the business end 607 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: of this. We're dealing with Kendrick who has yet to 608 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: drop an album in since Mister Morale and the Big Steppers, 609 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: which some people say they could do without that one 610 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: and he would still be who he is, meaning it 611 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: didn't add or take from It's just kind of okay, 612 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: we get it respectfully that some people not saying that's 613 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: my conversation some people. But we're dealing with this back 614 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: and forth with Drake gets you a super Bowl appearance. Now, 615 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 1: let's be fair. Legacy acts usually do do the Super Bowl. 616 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: We usually don't have any current acts doing the Super Bowl. 617 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,399 Speaker 1: I mean, it does kind of put people in back 618 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: to the game, but we don't usually have a lot 619 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: of current artists. You have to be humongous like a 620 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: Beyonce or Rihanna or somebody like that. Even Rihanna was 621 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 1: not active when she did the super Bowl appearance, but 622 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: does not like us fall off without jay z super 623 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: Bowl co sign because again, the record is not being 624 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: played around me. I had an argument about a month 625 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: ago while I said, Yo, this record, while it was 626 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: phenomenal in its time. While I respect the production, the flow, 627 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: I respect the play on words, it does not give 628 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 1: me the same feeling that it used to give me. 629 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: And I say that out of per honesty. I don't 630 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: have a dog in a fight. I'm gonna be me 631 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: regardless of whoever win. They battle respectfully to those guys, 632 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna keep grinding and hustling and getting up 633 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: every day and making sure that I make some money. 634 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: I don't have a reason to just put something out there. 635 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: I believe not like us. It's not hidden in the 636 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: way that it was in the moment. It was like, 637 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: oh my god.

I don't have 725 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: to talk to you. That's the beauty and what it 726 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 1: is I do. When you a high level communicator, you 727 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: can make money talking about these niggas and never had 728 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: to talk to them. I do these niggas a favor 729 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: by talking to these niggas. Why because I allow them 730 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 1: niggas to do what introduce the people into another side 731 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: of them. And also it puts a muzzle on me 732 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. We're dealing with it with 733 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: academics and Drake. No matter what Drake does, he has 734 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 1: to find a way to make it look as though 735 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: it's effective. These are the things you deal with in 736 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 1: this culture. Let's deal with Wayne. Let's deal with with Wayne. 737 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: Is contributed, contributed to the South, contributed to the game. 738 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: And this is what I tell you guys. You have 739 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: to be careful because if you're asking me, jay Z 740 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: is the king of Alliance from admiration. A lot of 741 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 1: you dudes got tricked into Alliance because of your admiration 742 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: for jay Z. When we deal with Wayne, Wayne was 743 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: really giving Jay a run for his fucking money. If 744 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: he would have stayed on it, it's no telling where 745 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: he would have ended up at. Because if I know 746 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: anything about jay Z and how people think. It's probably 747 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 1: uncomfortable for people to be around jay Z that jay 748 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: Z thinks that they think that they're better than jay Z. 749 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: It matters none if jay Z believes it, but if 750 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: jay Z believes that you believe you're better than jay Z. 751 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,719 Speaker 1: It felt like there was a time where that was 752 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: a problem because if you notice and you deal with 753 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,359 Speaker 1: a lot of the rap culture and the rap world, again, 754 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect for his hustle. I'm 755 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,320 Speaker 1: the young nigga that learned how to wrap by writing 756 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,799 Speaker 1: down the blueprint, by writing down his albums, writing it down, 757 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 1: figuring out how he was scheming. That was how I 758 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,800 Speaker 1: came up. I learned how to rap like that, Like 759 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm really this culture. So these kind of conversations, not 760 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: only am I qualified, I'm verified, but let's talk. Jay 761 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,919 Speaker 1: Z knew that Wayne felt as though he was better 762 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,240 Speaker 1: than jay Z, nads Felty was better than jays Kanye 763 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: Felty was better than jay C. Drake feels he's better 764 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: than dray Z. It feels like that jay Z is 765 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: the last boss on the video game, and he don't 766 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: like when these people don't respect it. Quote unquote, So 767 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: even though I'll give you this alliance or this fake alliance, 768 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 1: I have no real interest in developing things in a 769 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: way that will benefit you, especially when I gave you 770 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 1: an opportunity to come and you didn't leave. Birdman. And 771 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: I know Birdman ain't as smart at me, because I'll 772 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: put on a blaze and a suit coat. You understand. 773 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 1: I know how to go in there and get it done. 774 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: And Birdman go out to spray paint the shit on 775 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: his head, so he gonna play in that world. And 776 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 1: I'm a play in this world. And if you would 777 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 1: have came with me, you would have been playing in 778 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 1: this world. This is the games they playing, right, I'm 779 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,799 Speaker 1: still whooping on you. But Wayne and jay Z's relationship 780 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: is being shaky. We had an interview where l Wayne 781 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 1: was asked about the super Bowl.

And if I don't 882 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: tell the truth of will you tell me? It's gonna 883 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 1: be a long part of the day because I'm in 884 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 1: my bag. But let's have a real conversation. You also 885 00:50:55,840 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 1: have communities that's running alongside mind that we see, right, 886 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 1: because this Internet world, when you have a platform, you 887 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,800 Speaker 1: start to see things. You get presented things. I have 888 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 1: dirt on dudes and stuff that I don't even bring 889 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 1: the light on. People that has treated me in ways 890 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:17,439 Speaker 1: that I are unclear what it means, but will say 891 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: that to the side. So let's deal with some of 892 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: the people that's starting to present the narrative that Wayne 893 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:29,240 Speaker 1: doesn't that Wayne doesn't deserve to perform in New Orleans 894 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 1: in the South at Super Bowl after I've just read 895 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: off all of those accolades, because for some reason that 896 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,800 Speaker 1: these little backyard shows after twenty five years in the 897 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,840 Speaker 1: game and over a thousand songs, over one hundred and 898 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 1: eighty Billboard Top one hundred entries, that I may forget 899 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 1: a lyrical too. Excuse me. I've been right rapping at 900 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 1: a high level for so many years. So let's deal 901 00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: with people who are saying that to show that little 902 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: Wayne would have gave, it's not to show that Kendrick 903 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 1: Lamar is gonna give. I want to give some pushback 904 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 1: on that. I think what Wayne could have put together 905 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 1: in New Orleans in the South, for New Orleans further south, 906 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 1: for his legacy, being the kind of artist Wayne is, 907 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,319 Speaker 1: He's one of the goats from the South. Come on, dog, 908 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 1: there's no cut you can put on this. There's no 909 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 1: way you can make me understand that. Now, what I 910 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:32,080 Speaker 1: find nasty is what I'm about to address now. Certainly 911 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:38,600 Speaker 1: online you have an entire thread community of people that's 912 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,919 Speaker 1: pushing these videos out that don't make little Wayne look 913 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: the brightest and look the best for our culture, and 914 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 1: they're trying to demobilize the people that are speaking up 915 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 1: on behalf of Wayne. And let me say this before 916 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 1: I play the video. I don't endorse what Wayne is 917 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 1: saying on any ever on these things, but if we 918 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 1: start to get into the weeds with this, I think 919 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,879 Speaker 1: it's a dangerous game for all part it's involved. See, 920 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 1: they can do us like this because who they got 921 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,879 Speaker 1: to speak up? Who wonna say something? You think Joe 922 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: Bung gonna come out on the list to defend Old 923 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 1: Wayne against jay Z. You think academics gonna defend Lolwayne 924 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,319 Speaker 1: against jay Z. No, he may try to defend Drake. 925 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to Drake in just a second. Again, 926 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,360 Speaker 1: we got time today. It's a long part today. We 927 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,839 Speaker 1: don't take no breaks and we don't have any notes. 928 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 1: We thank you guys for tuning in.

Right, Let's play this 935 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 1: video of Lil Wayne that people have boring around. 936 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 4: When he said he personally doesn't see racism because so 937 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,719 Speaker 4: many of his fans are white. 938 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,400 Speaker 6: I thought that was clearly a message that there was 939 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 6: no such thing as racist. 940 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,320 Speaker 2: There was a lot of backlash from people about that. 941 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,600 Speaker 1: Would you change it what you said or you still. 942 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 2: Do the same way. What's your thought on on black 943 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:18,239 Speaker 2: lives matter? 944 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 1: What is it? 945 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:19,320 Speaker 3: What? 946 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:20,279 Speaker 1: What do you mean? 947 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 10: The idea is that there's this movement called black Lives matter, 948 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,400 Speaker 10: thinking that the rest of America didn't seem to understand 949 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 10: that that black lives matter. 950 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 1: I just sounds weird. I don't know that you put 951 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 1: a name or it's not a name, it's not whatever, whatever. 952 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 1: If somebody got shot. 953 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:41,239 Speaker 6: By police and for some reason findly young, black or rich, 954 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,280 Speaker 6: if that, don't let you know that America understands black 955 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 6: matter these days. 956 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Don't come at me 957 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: with that dog man. My life matter, especially toomuch do 958 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 1: you separate yourself from it? I feel connected to death 959 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,880 Speaker 1: and I ain't got nothing doing. If you do, you crazy? 960 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: You click These videos do not make Lil Wayne look 961 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 1: the greatest. You're dealing with a younger version of Wayne's 962 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:16,240 Speaker 1: been rich since he was fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, how whatever 963 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,440 Speaker 1: age those guys ran into financial freedom. This is not 964 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 1: an excuse, but it's an explanation for the events that 965 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 1: has tooking place. I would think that Lil Wayne stought 966 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 1: process should not play a part if everyone's stalt patterns 967 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 1: in process isn't playing a part right. Music has not 968 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 1: did a great job at cleaning out its closet, as 969 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 1: it pertains to some of these artists, So we're not 970 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,760 Speaker 1: gonna start doing it. When we try to justify bringing 971 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 1: someone from the West coast to the South, I think 972 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 1: that's a very disingenuous argument to place forward when we're 973 00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,720 Speaker 1: dealing with again, someone with the accolades of Little Wayne. 974 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 1: You can make a lot of money, you can sign 975 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: with these labels, you can do a lot of shit. 976 00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: But if you have not built your own you've done nothing. 977 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at it from fifty years from there, 978 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,719 Speaker 1: and you're looking at it from fifty days from there, 979 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,600 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have a different perspective. I'm telling you, 980 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 1: if you have not preserved your culture and built it 981 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 1: on your own, you've done nothing. Collaboration is key, but 982 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 1: confiscation is not tolerated. So I'm dealing with Wayne and Kendrick. 983 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 1: Will deal with Drake and Kendrick in just a second 984 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 1: and one and Jay matter of fact, let's talk about 985 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 1: Birdman's involvement, because the decision from jay Z has several 986 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 1: layers to it. Not only does it show little Wayne something. 987 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 1: Maybe Wayne's collateral damage because I'm making a bigger point 988 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 1: to bird Man. Maybe he's collateral damage because I'm making 989 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: a bigger point to Drake. Or maybe all of you 990 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,880 Speaker 1: are thirty three point three percent of this missile that 991 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm sending out, this message that I'm sending out, Maybe 992 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,279 Speaker 1: you all a thirty three point three percent of you 993 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,720 Speaker 1: dig So you think about Birdman in jay Z's issue 994 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: when you're asking me what the issue was, it's cause 995 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 1: Birdman then was taking up marketshare again. Jay Z has 996 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,080 Speaker 1: always been a power player after the d after the 997 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 1: death of Biggie and Tuparc. He stepped into a position 998 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 1: and he did exactly what he was supposed to do. 999 00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:29,480 Speaker 10: Right. 1000 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 1: If we ran the tapes even more, we started to 1001 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 1: see what Park was shooting him down and trying to 1002 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 1: discredit him. You know what I'm saying. Because he was 1003 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 1: an underboss, then he became the boss. And when he 1004 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 1: became the boss, he sow them cash money. Niggas came through. 1005 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 1: It's interesting because he did the song with Juvenile in 1006 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 1: ninety nine but formed no alliance, did the song with Pimps, 1007 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 1: but it formed no alliance. It's like, Yo, I'm doing 1008 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 1: what's necessary, but I ain't doing a inch over what's necessary. 1009 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 1: And so they asked me why Birdman or Coach k 1010 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 1: and QCP or Master P. Right, we got stories to tell. 1011 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: In the South, people ask me, they say, they say, long, 1012 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,440 Speaker 1: why do you think they don't bring it up? What 1013 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 1: do you think this is? And I always tell them, Yo, 1014 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 1: the South gotta build this off skyline. Yo, let me 1015 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 1: explain something to you. They loved it.

We're are the opportunities for 1031 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,240 Speaker 1: the people from the South outside of using us to 1032 00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,720 Speaker 1: get on stage and rap with the mic?

That's why 1088 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,200 Speaker 1: the whole culture applause when he goes and goes against 1089 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, the whole culture kneeling, and he gonna make 1090 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 1: the NFL deal, and we say, all right, Jay, only, y'all, 1091 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 1: let's try to give it another shot.

But 1096 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 1: if I'm being real, it's like, again, the lyrical thing 1097 01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 1: is one part the money thing. I think that that 1098 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 1: that's where he kind of crossed the line at and 1099 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 1: that's what made me look at him like, Yo, maybe 1100 01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,200 Speaker 1: they doing some I really respecting pay attention. Let's see 1101 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 1: what baby said, jay Z just convert at number one 1102 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,080 Speaker 1: buying TV number one MC. 1103 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 4: Well the may of that, I don't think he is 1104 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 4: number on MC wow okay, and right on no way, Ryan. 1105 01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,280 Speaker 4: The best he do the most and he make the 1106 01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 4: most money.

Come on, man, be for real. Man, 1111 01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,480 Speaker 4: can't nobody fuck with Wayne us? And to me, if 1112 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,800 Speaker 4: you number one, you ain't getting no money. Don't mean nothing, irman. 1113 01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 4: So but if you're number one and you making money, 1114 01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,400 Speaker 4: to me, who making the most money? 1115 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 1: That's number one? 1116 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:07,680 Speaker 6: To me? 1117 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 4: Fucked all that rap shit, Gorman shit, they got cold 1118 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 4: rappers you never even heard. But then you got niggas 1119 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,160 Speaker 4: who really can't rap it making money. It's about who's 1120 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 4: making the most money. To me, I don't give a 1121 01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,240 Speaker 4: fuck about the rest of that shit. Maybe other ones do, 1122 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,480 Speaker 4: but if you're making money, that matters to me. 1123 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: So we just watched what jay Z said in response 1124 01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,240 Speaker 1: to what Birdman said. So the question that Angie asked 1125 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 1: jay Z was about their video that we just watched. 1126 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 1: Now here's the interesting part of this thing. At that 1127 01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 1: particular time, Lil Wayne probably was making more than jay 1128 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 1: Z in the industry. Jay Z had already moved into 1129 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,600 Speaker 1: a legacy space because cash Money kind of pushed them 1130 01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:53,280 Speaker 1: out right. The breakup of Rockefeller and cash Money's rise 1131 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,440 Speaker 1: kind of was the end of the up North label. 1132 01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 1: Now you had g Unit running along side, but he 1133 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,360 Speaker 1: had played from the South. If I'm just going off 1134 01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 1: memory and my memory is not that well, I think 1135 01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that Birdman and cash Money was making 1136 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:18,360 Speaker 1: more than Rockefeller in the music business. Again, I think 1137 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:22,160 Speaker 1: jay Z had already transformed into a businessman and he 1138 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,760 Speaker 1: had started doing clothing and other things by that time. 1139 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:27,720 Speaker 1: And this is why I think Cash Money kind of 1140 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 1: dropped the ball, because we didn't see them spread out anywhere, 1141 01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 1: and music did so well for them that they still 1142 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 1: made a billion dollars just out of that game, a 1143 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:40,320 Speaker 1: couple billions, sold a billion records or so. But it's 1144 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:45,760 Speaker 1: interesting that Cash Money didn't build anything outside of record 1145 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: label music. For me, that's a mistake, and that's where 1146 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,040 Speaker 1: master p comes in. And that's why in the South, 1147 01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,880 Speaker 1: that's what we got our game from. It was Birdman 1148 01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,400 Speaker 1: and Slim when it came to the music business, and 1149 01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 1: it was Pee when it came to diversifyed. Matter of fact, 1150 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 1: Pete did too much diversifying, and I think he killed 1151 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 1: his spirit. You know, he was doing anything. But he's 1152 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 1: a legend. He's a hustler. He's a real one. You 1153 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. And I think he's a wealth 1154 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:17,480 Speaker 1: of information that any event you have a conversation with him, 1155 01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:22,200 Speaker 1: you learn something, you gain something, you get something. But 1156 01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 1: Rockefeller versus cash Money, I would say cash Money was 1157 01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 1: making more money. This is when jay Z was still 1158 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,760 Speaker 1: an active artist, or the conversation goes a little bit 1159 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:37,520 Speaker 1: more deeper. And also I think that Wayne was actually 1160 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 1: challenging Jay and being close to people starting to say, man, 1161 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't know Jay, but Wayne started to put the 1162 01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 1: bully game down. Guess how I rap nigga put the 1163 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 1: bully game down on you, nigga, take your beat and 1164 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 1: do it better than you. But Wayne was doing it 1165 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,320 Speaker 1: to the whole game. And he was just so diverse. 1166 01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 1: People was like, what the fuck. He might go grab 1167 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,120 Speaker 1: some old jay Z things. And this was the mixtape era. 1168 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 1: These was the good old days. See I remember so 1169 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:10,560 Speaker 1: jay Z had a song back then called Best of Me. 1170 01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 1: It was a remix with him and Maya and this 1171 01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,200 Speaker 1: was this was a This was a moment for Wayne. 1172 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 1: When Wayne was grabbing the culture and just he was 1173 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:22,960 Speaker 1: taking his position, and this is what we gotta do 1174 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 1: in the South. But we not only got to do 1175 01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:28,160 Speaker 1: that while we're in position, we gotta build infrastructure. And 1176 01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,360 Speaker 1: it ain't gotta be in your backyard, but let it 1177 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 1: be someone that shares your interest, that preserves that culture 1178 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,680 Speaker 1: that you plan on feed not only you, but next generations. 1179 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, because if he gets out 1180 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 1: of our hands, then it's gonna be out of it's 1181 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,960 Speaker 1: out of our hands. But the song was Best of 1182 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,760 Speaker 1: Me remix and Little Wayne had did that same song 1183 01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 1: when he was on the Squad Up Run. There was 1184 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:59,680 Speaker 1: a legit argument in the South that Wayne Verse was 1185 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,960 Speaker 1: best than jay Z Verse, and those moments started to 1186 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,960 Speaker 1: change their conversation to what people will actually argue you 1187 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:10,040 Speaker 1: for days that Wayne is the best rapper alive, and 1188 01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,720 Speaker 1: he started to stand on it. Imagine you, jay Z, 1189 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,080 Speaker 1: and you still rapping this nigga taking my name. Lil 1190 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:19,440 Speaker 1: Wayne started the Carter album with a song called Hey 1191 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 1: Mister Carter. He had named his album the Carter. This 1192 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:26,520 Speaker 1: is at the same time jay Z is rapping trying 1193 01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,480 Speaker 1: to change his name to Sean Carter, it's Dot Carter. 1194 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:33,960 Speaker 1: Now I'm the real Carter and I'm standing on that. 1195 01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 1: And so you gotta remember what maybe jay Z was 1196 01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:41,200 Speaker 1: feeling at that time. Interesting time if you were there. 1197 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,760 Speaker 1: You know, when we deal with Birdman in jay Z, 1198 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,280 Speaker 1: I tell the youngster following me Man that there's a 1199 01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 1: difference between recognition and power, although they can feel the same, 1200 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:56,200 Speaker 1: if you're not well versed, then the human mind, recognition 1201 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 1: can feel like power because power will come with recognition 1202 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 1: and in certain circumstances, but recognition don't come with no power. 1203 01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 1: Recognition is only the applause from the crowd. But you 1204 01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,720 Speaker 1: know what power is. Power is who is the conductor? 1205 01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:18,920 Speaker 1: And I'm always looking for the conductor, see y'all looking 1206 01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,800 Speaker 1: at who behind the mic? Who doing this? 1207 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 3: That? 1208 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: And the third I'm always looking for the conductor, who 1209 01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: put it together, who know how to make it run, 1210 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 1: Who's making the wheels turn. That's what jay Z differs 1211 01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 1: from Birdman. Birdman has recognition and jay Z has power. 1212 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:40,560 Speaker 1: They both have money. Money is a byproduct of this 1213 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: business and selling records, so we're gonna set that to 1214 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:47,040 Speaker 1: the side. But one has recognition and one has power. 1215 01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:53,799 Speaker 1: When we deal with jay Z. He has power outside 1216 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 1: of the music business. And don't ask me how I 1217 01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:01,880 Speaker 1: know jay Z has power and Birdman has recognition. It's 1218 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,360 Speaker 1: because I have eyes. Over the last couple of years, 1219 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 1: I've watched artists that Birdman is signed ran to get 1220 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:11,599 Speaker 1: up under jay Z because them knowing from the inside 1221 01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,920 Speaker 1: of the house that I've reached the ceiling, and it 1222 01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,639 Speaker 1: does not appear that jay Z has reached the ceiling 1223 01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 1: as he has came through this same tunnel. And so 1224 01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 1: there's a difference between recognition and power when they looking 1225 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,400 Speaker 1: at jay and they knowing he's having power. When I 1226 01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,760 Speaker 1: see Awayne and Drake, and let's be clear, these are 1227 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 1: people that are aligned with Birdman, Birdman being one of 1228 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,880 Speaker 1: the most powerful people in music, meaning has sold the 1229 01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,599 Speaker 1: most records, one of the more one of the more 1230 01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:42,200 Speaker 1: lucrative record labels in the business bar none. When I 1231 01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,640 Speaker 1: see them go over to do that alliast with jay 1232 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:50,360 Speaker 1: Z without any real benefit of business, I say that again, 1233 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 1: jay Z is the master of alliance by admiration. Because 1234 01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:00,719 Speaker 1: they have admiration for them, they'll come, they'll and they'll 1235 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,880 Speaker 1: get into get into an alliance with it. I always 1236 01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,479 Speaker 1: thought about that I always said, it's interesting because the 1237 01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 1: Birdman and jay Z thing is a thing, but Drake 1238 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,320 Speaker 1: and jay is cool, and Wayne and j is cool, 1239 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:16,920 Speaker 1: and it was always a weird energy. Let's deal with 1240 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,519 Speaker 1: Drake and jay Z. When I look at Drake, I say, 1241 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,559 Speaker 1: the same thing applies to him because of the umbrella 1242 01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,479 Speaker 1: he came up under. So, just in CosIng and to 1243 01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,680 Speaker 1: make myself clear about the Little Wayne scenario, I think 1244 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:33,000 Speaker 1: it is a situation that needs to be revisited. Lil 1245 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:35,880 Speaker 1: Wayne does deserve to perform in New Orleans to preserve 1246 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,760 Speaker 1: the culture of not only the South, but someone with 1247 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,679 Speaker 1: over one hundred and eighty Billboard Top one hundreds, over 1248 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:49,760 Speaker 1: five Grammys, this is one of our top artists. We 1249 01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:52,680 Speaker 1: have someone like jay Z in place. If you're asking me, 1250 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:54,960 Speaker 1: if we can't get it done with our current roster, 1251 01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,800 Speaker 1: we maybe can never win that kind of championship with 1252 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 1: this team and we may have to consider ourself to 1253 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,600 Speaker 1: go and start the Negro League. So here we have 1254 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:08,439 Speaker 1: master p responded, says, salute the Kendrick Lamar for performing 1255 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,639 Speaker 1: at the halftime show it the Super Bowl, well deserved. 1256 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:13,880 Speaker 1: He's one of the hottest music artists in the world, 1257 01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,360 Speaker 1: and as one of the biggest songs right now. As 1258 01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,240 Speaker 1: an ambassador of entertainment in the city of New Orleans, 1259 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,479 Speaker 1: I have to agree with the fans that Lil Tunci, 1260 01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,400 Speaker 1: which is Little Waves, should be a part of this 1261 01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:27,439 Speaker 1: celebration as well. He's one of the greatest hip hop 1262 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:31,320 Speaker 1: artists alive, still relevant, and he's a New Orleans native. 1263 01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,120 Speaker 1: Let's not miss the culture moment in the South. Life 1264 01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 1: is too short. We have to give our legters the 1265 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:41,120 Speaker 1: flowers while they're still here. Change stars with us and 1266 01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:45,800 Speaker 1: the celebrities continue to respond to Little Wayne being what 1267 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:50,639 Speaker 1: they're called snubbed from performing at Super Bowl fifty nine. 1268 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 1: Here's a Nicki Minaj's tweet.

But it don't look like he respecting you, 1281 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,120 Speaker 1: and it may it kind of look like the Birdman 1282 01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,800 Speaker 1: scenario is what kind of drove the ways throward. But 1283 01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:39,160 Speaker 1: that's family. That's how it come right. If you really 1284 01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:41,879 Speaker 1: love Way like you said. And Jay don't love nobody 1285 01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,479 Speaker 1: like that. He know he a rapper. He feel like 1286 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,680 Speaker 1: he the man, so he didn't feel as though I 1287 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 1: need to fix none with bird Man to be cool 1288 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,920 Speaker 1: with Drake. They need me. I need to fix nohe 1289 01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 1: with bird Man to be cool with Wayne. And I 1290 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,880 Speaker 1: probably would add that same attitude, so I can't carry it. 1291 01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 1: No hall but no resentment, you know as it pertains 1292 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,439 Speaker 1: to that. But see, the South is dog right. We've 1293 01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,799 Speaker 1: allowed them control media. We've allowed everyone else to control 1294 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,680 Speaker 1: our stories, our music, our market, and our everything. We 1295 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,040 Speaker 1: won't hire our own, we won't go to our own 1296 01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,719 Speaker 1: until our owner attest to the people who we can't 1297 01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,040 Speaker 1: get in touch with. So soon as one of our 1298 01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,519 Speaker 1: owner attests to the white people, they're cool to come 1299 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,800 Speaker 1: and spend your money with, but while they were doing 1300 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 1: the same exact thing, they were doing without the white 1301 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,200 Speaker 1: person's co sign. And I say this with no racism. 1302 01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 1: The information that I've received along my journey, just the 1303 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,040 Speaker 1: fact that you've plugged into the people that these folks 1304 01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 1: can't get in contact with, would allow these folks to 1305 01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:45,000 Speaker 1: now recognize you as a starting five player. Is one 1306 01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,600 Speaker 1: of the most is one of the weirdest behaviors that 1307 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,600 Speaker 1: our culture has to offer. And sometimes I sound like, 1308 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, with beating a dead horse, because I always say, 1309 01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:56,479 Speaker 1: if you're creating content, if you're starting a business, whatever 1310 01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 1: you're starting, if you're creating a big brick by brick 1311 01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 1: in the way that you see me doing it, if 1312 01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:04,439 Speaker 1: I've inspired you in any way, understand you have to 1313 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:08,160 Speaker 1: find your own place in the sun. You gotta find 1314 01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,760 Speaker 1: your own place in the sun so these kind of 1315 01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,639 Speaker 1: things won't happen. You saw Lil Wayne's manager come out 1316 01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 1: and started to respond to the fact that Wayne wasn't 1317 01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:20,639 Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl performing. He spoke to the fact 1318 01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:24,120 Speaker 1: that because that's in somebody else's hands, is already a problem. 1319 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:28,320 Speaker 1: But who is the conductor? Again as a constant theme 1320 01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:32,759 Speaker 1: in his conversation about the conductor, the conductor, the person 1321 01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,840 Speaker 1: behind the wheels that are making this whole train move. 1322 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:40,559 Speaker 1: Who is the conductor of all things business? If you're 1323 01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,839 Speaker 1: asking me, if i'm jay Z and these other niggas, 1324 01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm happy the motherfucker you niggas ain't doing nothing but 1325 01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,760 Speaker 1: rapping down. There ain't nobody creating nothing. Welly to let 1326 01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,360 Speaker 1: the way, it ain't nobody doing nothing. Fifty he from 1327 01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,719 Speaker 1: uphill You South niggas. What you niggas doing? Y'all running 1328 01:14:56,720 --> 01:15:00,920 Speaker 1: around getting on platforms with Joe Budden and academics respectfully 1329 01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,920 Speaker 1: to them, But y'all from the South. They don't even 1330 01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,320 Speaker 1: know shit about y'all. I heard one of them talking 1331 01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,959 Speaker 1: about rich home and thug and it was the wrong information. 1332 01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 1: They talked about takeoff, it was the wrong information. They 1333 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,240 Speaker 1: talk about whatever in the South is the wrong information. 1334 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:17,720 Speaker 1: They're not in tune because they don't give a fuck 1335 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:21,640 Speaker 1: to indulge outside of the club with the South. So 1336 01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,240 Speaker 1: the stories ain't something they involved with. Is it a 1337 01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,760 Speaker 1: gagsto or not? Other than that fucking story. And so 1338 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,800 Speaker 1: when we have a look, we gotta pass the ball 1339 01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,439 Speaker 1: to somebody that's on our team. What I often find 1340 01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 1: in the industry when you deal with rappers and the 1341 01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:39,400 Speaker 1: entertainment business is is they allow you to cook up 1342 01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:42,880 Speaker 1: a store like. They don't mind you eating. They don't 1343 01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:46,040 Speaker 1: mind you getting a little money, getting the little dudes signed, 1344 01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:48,280 Speaker 1: getting a couple of houses out of this thing. Y'all 1345 01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 1: get a couple of maidbags that are depreciating a couple 1346 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,880 Speaker 1: of years, go down two hundred thousand, y'all get a 1347 01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:57,759 Speaker 1: couple of cars, change watches, a couple of fifteen minutes 1348 01:15:57,800 --> 01:15:59,720 Speaker 1: of fame. Ob they don't mind you cooking the meal 1349 01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:06,200 Speaker 1: and some food and England and rich. Even the problem 1350 01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:13,040 Speaker 1: is when you own the kitchen. See when you come 1351 01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,000 Speaker 1: to someone else's kitchen, you deal with the ingredients in 1352 01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,800 Speaker 1: the kitchen that they have a lot of times you 1353 01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:21,719 Speaker 1: work for KFC, they just got a package with season 1354 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:25,640 Speaker 1: on it. You just open that package and put it 1355 01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,040 Speaker 1: in there, and that that's just you don't really know 1356 01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:33,120 Speaker 1: what the fuck is making this chicken? What are the ingredients. 1357 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:40,840 Speaker 1: That's when you're able to teach one and they say, well, 1358 01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,760 Speaker 1: they's asking a lot loan an damn even cooking it 1359 01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 1: ain't enough. It ain't enough when you're in the position 1360 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,720 Speaker 1: that we in in the South with no infrastructure, no platform, 1361 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:53,880 Speaker 1: and no real big media, no documentaries. Ain't nobody green 1362 01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:58,320 Speaker 1: lid loan the opportunity to start documenting the Southern heritage. 1363 01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,400 Speaker 1: You broke ass niggas do Let somebody from the West 1364 01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:05,880 Speaker 1: coast do it. Huh? They know it ain't about the money. 1365 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,560 Speaker 1: I need the connections of getting it in the positions 1366 01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,240 Speaker 1: and places it need to be to preserve our coach. 1367 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,479 Speaker 1: But that's asking too much. It be too much. Like 1368 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:21,680 Speaker 1: right now, how dare you wonder who owned the kitchen? Well, 1369 01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,720 Speaker 1: once you want, once you own the kitchen, you know 1370 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:30,880 Speaker 1: what you know? When they ingredient's outdated, When that ingredients 1371 01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,600 Speaker 1: expired that they've been using, then now we should have 1372 01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,760 Speaker 1: been done. Traded the sugar for the salt. You gotta 1373 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:39,400 Speaker 1: deal with what they give you when they gave you 1374 01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 1: what you got.

Let's be 1445 01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:28,880 Speaker 1: clear about one thing. When we look around, it ain't 1446 01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,519 Speaker 1: nobody building nothing.

This is 1471 01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:51,799 Speaker 1: high level business conversation at the top of the mountain. 1472 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,240 Speaker 1: They happy that these broke a niggas ain't doing nothing 1473 01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,840 Speaker 1: but passing the crown around. They ain't even watching the 1474 01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:02,240 Speaker 1: throw to treat you niggas to pass the crowd around 1475 01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,920 Speaker 1: in this rap game, and the throne ain't moving. It's 1476 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:09,639 Speaker 1: the throne you won't, not the crowd. It's the throne 1477 01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:14,120 Speaker 1: that come with the responsibilities, come with the assets, come 1478 01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:19,880 Speaker 1: with the direction, the information, the colding. It's the throne 1479 01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 1: that come with that. But you niggas being satisfied with 1480 01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:28,040 Speaker 1: passing around the crowd, who wrapped the best, who had 1481 01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:32,240 Speaker 1: the most streams? See, that's you niggas passing the crown around. 1482 01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 1: But as long as you ain't building nothing, you don't 1483 01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 1: become a threat that nothing is built. As I speak 1484 01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:46,880 Speaker 1: from the South about getting the artists to understand that 1485 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,960 Speaker 1: there's more in it than just getting your booking fees. 1486 01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:55,439 Speaker 1: The legacy we after when we deal with Jada's legacy there, 1487 01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:00,160 Speaker 1: when we deal with did it as legacy there very man, 1488 01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 1: there's legacy there. There's legacy in this game. You're chasing legacy, 1489 01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 1: not the money. The money'll come with the legacy. But 1490 01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:10,680 Speaker 1: as you watch the game, you understand that there's a 1491 01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:16,920 Speaker 1: gap between recognition and power. Even though power win some 1492 01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:23,720 Speaker 1: instancis come with recognition. You can be a man that's 1493 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:25,760 Speaker 1: known all across the world and you don't have the 1494 01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 1: power to get a person put in position to get 1495 01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 1: them a ham sandwich if they was hungry.
