Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Bro, but sin, since we already are, what's your take
Speaker 2: on Josh situation?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 4: You know I had a conversation with my homies today
Speaker 4: because I was looking at I was noticing that I
Speaker 4: had a few different generations when I was talking speaking
Speaker 4: to him, as my artist was in there, and my
Speaker 4: artist was in there, and gutter was in there. So
Speaker 4: I mean, what I mean by that is gutter from
Speaker 4: my generation and my artist. I'm sorry, my artist is younger.
Speaker 4: So I was just asking him. I was like, what's
Speaker 4: the necessity of what you know? What is? Then I
Speaker 4: was like, what's the necessity part of doing you know
Speaker 4: doing that? What's that what you know posting yourself saying
Speaker 4: this is what I look at him doing. I was like,
Speaker 4: what I mean by that is because I'm trying to
Speaker 4: figure I'm trying to, you know, do the cliche put
Speaker 4: myself in his shoes? Understand it? And I was like, so,
Speaker 4: I was like, so the best I can do without
Speaker 4: them answering before they answered that question, I told them
Speaker 4: where I was at with it.
Speaker 1: I say, so the best the best time.
Speaker 4: I was like, so, the best I could do is
Speaker 4: remember when I was younger and my home's squad, all
Speaker 4: my niggas around me when and we were at the
Speaker 4: age where they don't have money.
Speaker 1: I'm the one with the money. You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And then I don't even know how much money I'll
Speaker 4: end up with. But I'm the moe with some money
Speaker 4: in my pocket. I know I got a bright future.
Speaker 4: My homies I ain't. They ain't no payroll, They ain't
Speaker 4: my homies. They live good when they with me, when
Speaker 4: I go to when I gotta go by stunning them
Speaker 4: and go to work and all that, they gotta go
Speaker 4: back to being who they gotta be, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. So what I'm saying saying that to say
Speaker 4: them the streets, and I was aware of that, so
Speaker 4: out I say, so if I was going through something
Speaker 4: at that point in time, something public like with Slam
Speaker 4: going through, I said, I could imagine the rebel, the
Speaker 4: rebellious attitude I would have if my home is just
Speaker 4: egging attitude on right, you know what I mean? I
Speaker 4: like to and alside like what they also need to understand.
Speaker 4: What we also need to understand is we don't want
Speaker 4: to talking about this like that. It's not not I
Speaker 4: don't know this for a fact, but just in a
Speaker 4: lot of situations like this, when we all talking about it,
Speaker 4: the actual person and the people were talking about they
Speaker 4: actually they purposely stay away from this. They stay away
Speaker 4: from all this we're saying, they stay away from hearing this,
Speaker 4: and they got people that are protecting them from that's
Speaker 4: gonna hear it for them. They're gonna protect them from
Speaker 4: hearing it. So what I mean by that is if
Speaker 4: I had something going on in the public that you
Speaker 4: know is negative about me my home, we're gonna they
Speaker 4: purposely making sure we still man, we don't even want
Speaker 4: them to hear it. So it's hard for the message
Speaker 4: to get through, right, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 4: hard for the message all these you know, you got
Speaker 4: people looking dead and the cameras on TV like then
Speaker 4: I'm talking to you job. You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's hard for the messag to get through, man when
Speaker 4: you because I'm the bread winner, I wish your nigga
Speaker 4: would tell me something, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 4: wish your nigga would tell me. It's almost like I
Speaker 4: look at it like Zion, how you keep it begging
Speaker 4: him to lose weight, getting better shape and this that.
Speaker 4: I wish your nigga would tell me something. Right, not
Speaker 4: much money I got boy, just like this like this, nigga,
Speaker 4: I wish your nigga nigga, what trade me?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm saying. I'm like, so, so I
Speaker 4: had to ask myself what's the necessity of me?
Speaker 1: Because I like, so what that said?
Speaker 4: I was to answer that question if I was asked
Speaker 4: at that time, so, what's the necessity to you being
Speaker 4: so rebellious right now?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Like, my only answer would have been is because I
Speaker 4: don't even hear the truth. I don't wanna hear what
Speaker 4: y'all think the truth is and the facts. My truth
Speaker 4: is my truth, and you know this is what I
Speaker 4: come from this and I come from that and I
Speaker 4: got I got my twelve jurors.
Speaker 1: That's that's okay, Okay, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And so so when I asked myself, so what's the
Speaker 4: new sud, like, so, what's the necessity? I say, because
Speaker 4: I could imagine if I would have did it at
Speaker 4: that time, my answer would have been to show y'all
Speaker 4: don't know who I'm y'all don't know who I got
Speaker 4: problems with. Y'all only know this, y'all only know the
Speaker 4: me that y'all know. You know what I mean, the puppy,
Speaker 4: y'all know the rapper or whatever whatever, but should we
Speaker 4: in these streets? And I need them niggas to know
Speaker 4: every time. I need them necks to know when I
Speaker 4: ain't on that quarter, when I ain't on that stage,
Speaker 4: it's on me. And that's why I like, that'll be
Speaker 4: my answer for a while. I like that if my
Speaker 4: mama probably had to ask me in real life at
Speaker 4: that time, why are you doing that?
Speaker 1: And I had to give her a real answer like that.
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm trying to understand, like maybe that
Speaker 4: would be my only answer that makes sense to me,
Speaker 4: and I would hope she was still damn it, boy,
Speaker 4: you tripping, you know what I mean? But I I
Speaker 4: had to, but they didn't have, you know, there was
Speaker 4: like there's like tune, that's the answer for niggas who
Speaker 4: are really in the streets, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: And I was like, before you say that, I like,
Speaker 4: don't fall into that trap that these people doing on
Speaker 4: TV saying because he ain't no thug, cause he ain't
Speaker 4: in the street, he ain't about that, he ain't know gang.
Speaker 4: You do? You don't want that? How y'all know you
Speaker 4: you don't want y'all know that, boy do y'all know
Speaker 4: that boy, cause I don't. I know him from dunking
Speaker 4: and jumping. And I only started knowing him and when
Speaker 4: I started paying attention to around his last year, last
Speaker 4: year of college. I come from like a town of
Speaker 4: three thousand people. Like what what y'all? Y'all what you
Speaker 4: gave that mean? Y'all gave him twenty million dollars? I
Speaker 4: just sat a town with three thousand people. You expect
Speaker 4: him to be responsible? Now we tripping? Then now we tripping,
Speaker 4: and we expected him to be That's magic because I
Speaker 4: could take You know, I come from a real well raised,
Speaker 4: beautiful mother nice, you know what I mean, My mama
Speaker 4: bus I asked to make sure everything around me was nice,
Speaker 4: and I still was a knucklehead. I shot myself, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean. So so if you expected and
Speaker 4: that young man from a three, I could imagine if
Speaker 4: I came from fucking what to play with three thousand
Speaker 4: people and yet and I became who I am. But
Speaker 4: they had social media when I was twenty three, I
Speaker 4: wouldn't have made it.
Speaker 3: Well, I think, yeah, thank god, I think that was
Speaker 3: a good question you asked your youngest artist, though, because
Speaker 3: we don't know what it's like to grow up with
Speaker 3: the with the phone.
Speaker 4: And that's what I like, it's there on this and
Speaker 4: so what I said, I said all that to day,
Speaker 4: I said, I just said. They came up with no
Speaker 4: answer for why he don't you know what I mean
Speaker 4: when I told him, let's just not say he is
Speaker 4: he's not that, because we don't know that.
Speaker 1: I was like, so, so what that says?
Speaker 4: They was like to answer, well, they was like, so
Speaker 4: to answer your question, since we don't know that of him,
Speaker 4: I'll answer. They were like, we'll answer you of what
Speaker 4: we do know. We do know he plays basketball. He
Speaker 4: played real fucking good, you know what I mean. He
Speaker 4: was like, what we don't know is if he's that

Speaker 3: You're on record talking about Jay and Missy with some
Speaker 3: of your influences, anyone else and other genres that influenced
Speaker 3: you on your way up, because I mean it's been
Speaker 3: a long way up. Your your longevity is speaks for herself,
Speaker 3: but any other influences we might not think would inspire
Speaker 3: someone like you.
Speaker 1: I need a baker, I need a bake off top timeless.
Speaker 4: She inspired me to stop rapping for the times and
Speaker 4: make sure my lyrics were timeless. You know what I
Speaker 4: me because I would always wonder, like, why the hell
Speaker 4: I'm niggas? I had to always still to this day,
Speaker 4: I have to listen to it before the show. I
Speaker 4: still get dumb stupid bitch as butterflies. I gotta let
Speaker 4: that shit really hurt. So who would have fuck named
Speaker 4: it butterflies? Like you make a nigga hate because if
Speaker 4: that's how fucking butterfly, beautiful butterflies feel the way that
Speaker 4: pain feeld, I fucking hate butterflies. So you know, so
Speaker 4: you know what that really is? Right?
Speaker 1: What nerves that You're not nerves? You're just anxious about
Speaker 1: being great?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I know, I know, And I always tell
Speaker 4: myself what that said.
Speaker 1: I tell myself. I told my artists.
Speaker 4: I tell him, Uh, you know, comfort is some people
Speaker 4: say the first sign, but comfort is a sign of death.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean saying?
Speaker 4: I always like, why you get so fucking uncomfortable? Like
Speaker 4: bro getting uncomfortable because relations?
Speaker 3: Uh any other artists though you looked up to as
Speaker 3: far as rappers, any any genre of music that inspired.
Speaker 4: Miss Anita you got, I looked up to. And it's
Speaker 4: like you said, it's some interesting you know, as unique people.
Speaker 4: So it would be like people like I would listen
Speaker 4: to a lot of Lennie Wilkins and Miss Betty Right,
Speaker 4: and I would listen to them for it's almost like, uh,
Speaker 4: you know how some people some religions got like thirty guys.
Speaker 1: They pray through.
Speaker 4: I pray for this for when I'm smoking too much,
Speaker 4: for listening to your mine, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So like I listened to Ms Betty and Lenny, they
Speaker 4: found in the category of me listening to them knowing
Speaker 4: how to make the transition of talking into going back
Speaker 4: into your song your song. And because they would have
Speaker 4: one song on they only it's like seven minutes, and
Speaker 4: it's because they sung it and then they started in
Speaker 4: the middle of it, they did a whole story that
Speaker 4: you know, you literally not a word for word the
Speaker 4: story like you and I want to learn that. How
Speaker 4: you do that?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, how do you make
Speaker 1: that transition?
Speaker 4: I thought juvenile did it real well, and I thought
Speaker 4: he asked, actually knew how to master making his regular
Speaker 4: conversation a song, you know what I mean, Like that's
Speaker 4: you the yeah, like that nigga mastered that ship, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean. So that's other things like that.
Speaker 1: So as far as rappers, it was all Jay.
Speaker 3: You've been making a lot of money for a long time.
Speaker 3: What does that do to a young man? I mean,
Speaker 3: obviously the world is thrown at you fast, but you've
Speaker 3: been making money since she was a young young teenager.
Speaker 3: How did that kind of shape you? And what habits
Speaker 3: did you have or have to break as you continue
Speaker 3: to mature.
Speaker 4: First I would have to I would have to give
Speaker 4: all thanks and all that to my mom. Watching my
Speaker 4: mom before I had a dime, you know, just watching
Speaker 4: her and how she got money and what she did
Speaker 4: when she got money, how she had to do money
Speaker 4: and treating and just things like watching her that taught
Speaker 4: me a whole lot, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 4: she kept me reject that made me responsible from the
Speaker 4: first day and also being grateful and being thankful for it.
Speaker 4: So I meaning you give me. I wasn't never expected anything.
Speaker 4: And also you know he can also attest you. I
Speaker 4: love I love to fucking wrap, so you pay me
Speaker 4: to do this shit, So you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So when I was so young and so my first
Speaker 4: check came, I brought straight to her. I couldn't even
Speaker 4: catch it. Ain't enough.
Speaker 1: It's not even in my name, and it say it's
Speaker 1: her name. So and her.
Speaker 4: I thought she was gonna use it for bills or whatever.
Speaker 4: And she get right back and like, no, boy, keep
Speaker 4: your money. And she's like, what you want with it?
Speaker 4: And so I went brought a path funder because new
Speaker 4: jeorgy Drive had just came out. I thought them called
Speaker 4: they were still in a bunch of path funds.
Speaker 1: I thought that was dope. So someone got a path funder.
Speaker 1: And that's the way she was.
Speaker 4: The moment we got all of the when the big
Speaker 4: money came in, I gave it, you know, everyone, straight
Speaker 4: to her. She would get it right back, like I
Speaker 4: don't need nothing but that right there, just to humble
Speaker 4: her humility in that moment, in those moments when you
Speaker 4: know you need it, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 4: her humility.
Speaker 1: And those moments taught me to be the same way.
Speaker 1: So and it's still to this day.
Speaker 4: I don't you know what I mean, so much so
Speaker 4: to her, I have actually never strategically I've never strategically
Speaker 4: said to make a dollar yet. And that's about him.
Speaker 4: Never once said, man, listen, I need to do this
Speaker 4: for it, We need to get that. And it's just
Speaker 4: still to this day, I still treat it as all
Speaker 4: of them. It's all a blessing.
Speaker 3: That's why I be coming in too. Uh. You spoke
Speaker 3: recently on mental health, health and the struggles and how
Speaker 3: it impacted you at a young age. What would be
Speaker 3: your message to anyone that is that that is struggling
Speaker 3: with mental illness right now and kind of keeping it
Speaker 3: bottled up.
Speaker 4: That's the last thing. You should just keep it bottled
Speaker 4: up regardless. And these days are different. Man, you got
Speaker 4: so many I say that to say, you got so
Speaker 4: many outlets, you know what I mean. Back then, we
Speaker 4: couldn't just find an app or somebody that you know
Speaker 4: what I mean. We couldn't do that. We couldn't text,
Speaker 4: we couldn't you know what I mean. But so we
Speaker 4: really couldn't even speak on speak on it.
Speaker 3: It was just crazy.
Speaker 4: It was like speaking on some of the situa situations
Speaker 4: that you could speak on that you wouldn't get looked crazier.
Speaker 4: So with that said, if you are going through any
Speaker 4: type of mental stress, the last thing to do is
Speaker 4: keep it to yourself, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean go speak to someone else, because if
Speaker 4: that if you can't accomplish that, sometimes you literally can't
Speaker 4: do that. But figure out a way to get it
Speaker 4: out and make sure it's not negative. Try your hardest,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. But you figure out a
Speaker 4: way to get it out, figure some kind of way.
Speaker 4: And that's I resulted to the pending path, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, You gotta figure it out.
Speaker 2: Debut album, The Block is Hot ninety nine. What was
Speaker 2: your mind frame when when it was all that was
Speaker 2: popping off when we popped up with the first album,
Speaker 2: it was work then it was just an animal, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 4: You know when I say it worked to I don't
Speaker 4: mean like nine to five work. I mean like school work.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 4: I was still I was in the house, the hot,
Speaker 4: still the youngest of the Cowboys group. It was it
Speaker 4: was that we already had a procedure, you know, we
Speaker 4: put we put the High Boys album out, Tube album,
Speaker 4: come Out solo album, come Out First, Beatchy Solo album,
Speaker 4: about the second way in the Turk, y'all gotta see
Speaker 4: whatever Buzz's gonna go, we're gonna go with y'alls. I
Speaker 4: hit it up there, so you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: It was a procedure, like it was just okay, mind
Speaker 4: coming out and just I remember, you know, the procedure was,
Speaker 4: Thank God, the procedure was everybody who am came out,
Speaker 4: they went platinum and within the first month and all this,
Speaker 4: and so that was a little you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: You like, I don't know I'm gonna do all that
Speaker 4: with in my turn. And when I came out, thank
Speaker 4: God did and so you know, I was just happy
Speaker 4: to keep the procedure going, that's all.
Speaker 3: What kind of stuff do you learn from people like
Speaker 3: Juvie and Beg in that process you're seeing greatness of
Speaker 3: phrase like us playing with a code at a young age,
Speaker 3: so like you're seeing greatness in front of you. What
Speaker 3: kind of stuff did you soak up from them?
Speaker 1: From Juvee?
Speaker 4: Straight up, Juvet knew how to separate it, know how
Speaker 4: to separate with it because Juliet would he would travel
Speaker 4: with entourage like this because ju he came from them
Speaker 4: projects and so he wanted to help very down body,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So, but he knew how
Speaker 4: to with all that said, you know, he'd still be
Speaker 4: life for the part of his with this, but knew
Speaker 4: how to okay and cut it and get to work.
Speaker 1: That's what I would always learn.
Speaker 4: I would take from him that he knew how to
Speaker 4: shut it down, shut it off, and get straight to work.
Speaker 4: So much so that he's about to kill a song.
Speaker 4: He about to kill that bitch, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's not about to be some ship where you have
Speaker 4: to put him away up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: He's not about to rap about whatever the hell they
Speaker 4: was just talking about. I would notice little things like
Speaker 4: all significant things like that, like wow, we all was
Speaker 4: just laughing about this one subject and song is similar
Speaker 4: to the subject, but he ain't say one thing about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would know.
Speaker 4: I would pittention the little things like that with him
Speaker 4: to notice that. That's how broad, that's how wide his
Speaker 4: mind was. And that's also what I mean by separating.
Speaker 4: He was able to say, it's just separate. How he
Speaker 4: was able to separate. But uh, Doogie, as far as BG,
Speaker 4: what I got from Doogie, Yeah, what I got from
Speaker 4: Doogie it was straight style, freaking little doogie is now yeah,
Speaker 4: like I you know, I literally do about it. Come
Speaker 4: on in probably a few days. Yeah, man, that's beautiful.
Speaker 4: And what I got from him was I wrote, with dude,
Speaker 4: you know, we was really a group together, just the BG's.
Speaker 1: Before his name was BG. We was the BG's And so.
Speaker 4: That's how he got his name b g Z because
Speaker 4: they had a Z at the end of it, and
Speaker 4: that people thought that's it. It should say be GZ.
Speaker 4: It was the BG's and I had got pulled away
Speaker 4: from the group, so all they of us saw was doogie.
Speaker 4: So that's why they were like, okay, must be be GZ.
Speaker 4: And so I wrote with him, so I know, we wrote.
Speaker 4: I know, we had the same writing styles and ship
Speaker 4: like that. How we would approach a verse word place,
Speaker 4: counting uh word, the number of words, little things like that.
Speaker 4: So I took a bunch of style. He literally taught
Speaker 4: me a bunch of shit, like physically taught me. Looking now,
Speaker 4: I used to started like this that type of shit.
Speaker 4: It's you on.
Speaker 1: How did the light of flick come about? Ship? Man?
Speaker 4: You know how to smoke? Yeah, no, it's it's literally
Speaker 4: it's on. God, I will not lie to you, bro.
Speaker 4: It's not a trade, monk. It's not a because if
Speaker 4: it was, we have it singed up there and I
Speaker 4: wouldn't even have to do it. If you are listening
Speaker 4: to you can listen to every single one is a
Speaker 4: different and the answer is simple and playing. If you're
Speaker 4: a Wayne fan, you guys already got to know that
Speaker 4: I'm about to smoke during the verse.
Speaker 1: I'm lighting up for the verse, and that's cheating. Yeah, no, cheers,
Speaker 1: let's go.
Speaker 4: It's not a trade.
Speaker 1: Became classic. It's not a hold on, let me make
Speaker 1: sure I get them up.
Speaker 2: No, it's to the point where like when when motherfuckers
Speaker 2: hear for the song, they be like.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I feel like that too when I hear it.
Speaker 4: I heard it. I heard a few flicks on some
Speaker 4: other songs that you're not delivering, Like I delve stopped
Speaker 4: doing that.
Speaker 3: I got a question like, obviously you have to listen
Speaker 3: to your music. When when do you want to hear it?
Speaker 3: When don't you want to hear it?
Speaker 4: I want to hear it all the time, and I
Speaker 4: don't want to hear it never ever, so all the time,
Speaker 4: So don't listen to no one else?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, but it's no.
Speaker 4: It's I'm always listening to what I just did when
Speaker 4: I'm trying to fix and ship. So it's not by
Speaker 4: choice that I don't hear when I say no one else,
Speaker 4: I mean, not even my own artist. So that's I
Speaker 4: always like to let get that out there when I
Speaker 4: say that, I don't listen to no one else, like
Speaker 4: gu gotta little text me yo, this is such and
Speaker 4: such a new single and the video. Oh ship, they
Speaker 4: got a video too. Damn, I ain't knowing that motherfucker.
Speaker 4: It's awesome right there. He killed that ship. He killed
Speaker 4: that ship. I might listen to the first four of ours.
Speaker 4: He said.
Speaker 1: On the first one he text like Nigga said, get
Speaker 1: back to my ship.
Speaker 4: That's that's the only reason I'm let's tell you, I
Speaker 4: gotta I'm a perfectionist, trying to make sure that I
Speaker 4: should have said is you should have probably said the
Speaker 4: you probably shouldn't even sit in that type of shit
Speaker 4: got you?
Speaker 2: What do you think two thousand and four of the Carter?
Speaker 2: What do you think the Carter did for your career? Uh?
Speaker 4: At the time, I think it gains. I think it's Uh,
Speaker 4: it was the start of it was the start of
Speaker 4: a path I was able to create, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean, the path of uh, A path that deserved continuous,
Speaker 4: deserve to continue, a continuation, a pat that deserved to extend.
Speaker 1: And that's that's hard for some people.
Speaker 4: Some people could drop a hard ass album and I
Speaker 4: don't hit the rest, you know what I mean, I
Speaker 4: ain't looking for your next album. But the card allowed
Speaker 4: me to. Now we want here car to car three,
Speaker 4: you know. So I always looked at it like it
Speaker 4: was a maturity thing for me, like it was my
Speaker 4: little for some reason. We always approaching this for the carter, like,
Speaker 4: you know, whatever one every time we're working on obviously,
Speaker 4: you know, I work all damn day every day. So
Speaker 4: when we get one, that's you know, it's for the cartner,
Speaker 4: So it's nothing about it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's like, so what makes this for the custop?
Speaker 4: Obviously it sets a standard out set the standard with
Speaker 4: that album, Yeah, exactly, a big standard.
Speaker 3: Uh mix tape, Wayne, I mean, that was unbelievable, you know,
Speaker 3: after the start of one and two? Uh, what was
Speaker 3: the thinking behind the just that.
Speaker 1: Whole to do this, by the way he told me
Speaker 1: to do this, by the way, yeah, what you said, it.
Speaker 3: Was the just what was the what was the whole
Speaker 3: thought process behind the mixtape push?
Speaker 4: The first one's you know, the first one I did
Speaker 4: was just getting okay from baby that him telling me
Speaker 4: is okay, like I could buy out this music that
Speaker 4: he was okay, all good ship.
Speaker 1: So that was the first one I put out.
Speaker 4: I think it was like ten thousand bars, and they
Speaker 4: started calling the mix tapes and whatever we was giving
Speaker 4: that shit out free. So that was actually the thing
Speaker 4: about Wayne shit, Wayne's always free. Wayne's always free. So
Speaker 4: I don't blame me that charge and switch the game
Speaker 4: up on y'all flipped it up to me too much
Speaker 4: now that I actually got a charge off of my
Speaker 4: mixtapes now, so don't blame me blaming the game. But yeah,
Speaker 4: so as far as you know, and my approach to
Speaker 4: mixtapes was always different. I always thought a mixtape was
Speaker 4: supposed to be and I still do. I still do
Speaker 4: my mixtapes that well. I thought it was supposed to
Speaker 4: be you wanting to hear me on the songs that's
Speaker 4: out that I'm not on, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: Like ten ten hot that songs that you're in the
Speaker 4: club banging Terry Dale or whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm abouty killing bitches for you. You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: I thought that's what and I'm I'm gonna rap it.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say the same melodies the person use like
Speaker 4: for about to go two seconds. But you know what
Speaker 4: I mean, i'mna flip tomords and she'll like it. May
Speaker 4: make it fun, interesting, And I always thought that's what
Speaker 4: it should be and so something. That's why that that's
Speaker 4: how I attack my mixtapes, and that's how I always have.
Speaker 4: But now mixtapes have changed. How people be looking for
Speaker 4: four albums. You see you dropping the mixtape and so
Speaker 4: gutting to me having to make sure you're I mean
Speaker 4: maging you having to make sure y'all do at least
Speaker 4: three or four just originals. I'm like, mac man, this
Speaker 4: is fun my album or it's for something.
Speaker 1: But now this is what the guys about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Take us through the creative process. How long
Speaker 3: does it take for you too?
Speaker 4: Are you rolling?
Speaker 3: You're not got a handful of songs in the day,
Speaker 3: sang the time. Take us behind the scenes and people
Speaker 3: who haven't seen you in the studio.
Speaker 4: It depends on what I'm doing it for. It's features.
Speaker 4: Features usually come with a subject, you know what I mean. So,
Speaker 4: I mean that person send me a song, this song,
Speaker 4: I already got a subject. They got a hook on there.
Speaker 4: I'm real good with you know. I mean, when you
Speaker 4: give me a subject, I'm it's like school I was doing.
Speaker 4: I want to finish my work first. And what I mean, so,
Speaker 4: I want to impress the damn teacher. You're the teacher,
Speaker 4: whoever the artist was that sent me the song. I
Speaker 4: want to impress you stick to this damn subject and
Speaker 4: so that those are pretty And I don't want to
Speaker 4: say eat nothing's easy, but those are pretty convenient for me.
Speaker 4: As far as my ship, you gotta come, you know,
Speaker 4: you gotta, you gotta come, stop me and tune we
Speaker 4: need we need X amount of songs by this date.
Speaker 4: And and I just give you like I mean, I
Speaker 4: let y'all pick them, man, because I can't pick and
Speaker 4: ship like that. And it's but I'm always you know,
Speaker 4: I'm doing so much different music now that that process
Speaker 4: has changed. I mean my studio now, my studio sessions
Speaker 4: now consist of the musical you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in bands, I have bands, have new artists.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. I have a legend, have
Speaker 4: legends on the on the label. Know some different artists
Speaker 4: that I gotta go and dump it. Jump into their

Speaker 3: million in the first week. U what made that project
Speaker 3: so great? Ship the fans?
Speaker 4: And I just did what I do man Ca They
Speaker 4: You would really have to probably ask the fans that one,
Speaker 4: because they're.
Speaker 3: The ones who bought it, made it what it was,
Speaker 3: and their sons after it, named their sons after.
Speaker 4: Shout out and shout out of Kyle. I just would
Speaker 4: have been Sant France and it was Sant France. Yeah.

Speaker 3: have the success and then the Grammys that came with it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what is Talk to us about that and just what
Speaker 3: kind of you know, blessing that is that?

Speaker 4: direct that your effort whatever, and they ain't got a
Speaker 4: tenment the water ain't got to say you're the greatest ever,
Speaker 4: the readiest, wrapper a lot. It's whatever it says. It's
Speaker 4: saying we recognized it, your effort was worth. This ain't
Speaker 4: no better feeling. Because when you do it for when you,
Speaker 4: I don't know what other people do it for the
Speaker 4: right reason. I turned it to you today, I ain't
Speaker 4: still haven't looked for a dollar yet. So when you're
Speaker 4: doing it from I just love to do this shit,

Speaker 4: then you may not know that. But he's a total genius,
Speaker 4: plain and simple. And what I mean by that is,
Speaker 4: you know, he's he can stop being Kanye West at
Speaker 4: any time and start being Kanye East and be the
Speaker 4: best at that as well. He's a genius when it
Speaker 4: comes to music, you know. I mean, I mean whatever

Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: I like that?
Speaker 3: What makes Bron so special in your opinion? What makes
Speaker 3: Kobe so special in your opinion, Brian.
Speaker 4: I don't know Brian like personally, So my answer for
Speaker 4: Brian to be from you know, from Afar, watching from Afar, Brian,
Speaker 4: and it's on the court. Brian, you gotta remind yourself that.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know for a fact I love Jordan
Speaker 4: for the way he fucking always won and the kid.
Speaker 4: You don't know too much about the ins and outs
Speaker 4: and all the other ship that we love now in
Speaker 4: the game that I'm old enough to care about. So
Speaker 4: I just who won. That's my favorite player. He better win.
Speaker 1: He always fucking win, That's all I know, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 4: So I know I got old enough to know how
Speaker 4: hard it is to fucking do it back to back
Speaker 4: to back, you know what I mean. So that's that's
Speaker 4: where he got his games' respect with me, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, Start getting respect with me to he's
Speaker 4: the greatest, you know what I mean? Then I would
Speaker 4: so I would know that I noticed that, Okay, Brian
Speaker 4: done that ship. It's very hard to do like then
Speaker 4: that nigga, Brian had done that ship with three teams.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm, that's right there. That's when I was like, regardless,
Speaker 4: he ain't got six I was like, but damn he
Speaker 4: done it with three different teams and not on one
Speaker 4: of those motherfucking teams. Have he was did he play
Speaker 4: part two? I mean roll two? He still can get
Speaker 4: six though. That's the scary point. Yeah, definitely, that's crazy.
Speaker 4: And so that right there is with tip Tim over
Speaker 4: the Joe and skips from me because you already know
Speaker 4: I was drawing. You couldn't have that conversation with me.
Speaker 4: It wasn't even conversation until I have to really think, like,
Speaker 4: you know what, Slim stealing this ship twenty years strong?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like Slim is fucking amazing.
Speaker 4: He's been amazing every year every since, Like he ain't
Speaker 4: never prime. Always like maybe saying, you know, like you
Speaker 4: need to retire on top, you know what I'm saying
Speaker 4: that cliche you need to tie you on top to
Speaker 4: anyone like you need to retire, you love, retire on time.
Speaker 4: It's the best way to go on like that, Nigga,
Speaker 4: Brian don't even know what the middle feel like. It's
Speaker 4: all he's ever been like. So that right there is
Speaker 4: just amazing, you know what I mean, His longevity and
Speaker 4: whatever he did doing to his body or whatever if
Speaker 4: that nigga, he must be praying a main nigga protected,
Speaker 4: you know what.
Speaker 1: I mean, And I respect it and Bron we trust, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I respect, I respect. That's why he tipped.
Speaker 4: That's why he took the meter for me, because he's
Speaker 4: doing something and off the court, you can't even come.
Speaker 3: On, come on, yeah, that right there. We ain't seen
Speaker 3: nothing like that from a superstar.
Speaker 4: Like like you know, Brian and Brian name and snuck
Speaker 4: into my my my rants and just what I mean
Speaker 4: by that, Like when I'm having a conversation with my
Speaker 4: bros and whatever and I'm you know, my artists and whatever,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, you know, I want to talk about
Speaker 4: a nigga with money money, you know what I mean.
