Speaker 4: I didn't take a shot.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the right, great, take a real shot. Don't
Speaker 1: take a drink, give a shot.
Speaker 3: That's the real you know, that's We've been doing this
Speaker 3: for eight years. What we say is like like, that's
Speaker 3: the only time you should take a shot when we
Speaker 3: do this. You know what I'm saying, because one watches
Speaker 3: the other, and especially in this game, Like I just
Speaker 3: looked at your face and I know that. Yeah, Salo, Salo, Salo.
Speaker 3: So let's talk about the advantages of being on major labels.
Speaker 3: I think you was on Republic, right Universal. I believe
Speaker 3: he was on Interscope. Yeah, I believe that at one time.
Speaker 3: You even spend some time with Gazi over there at Empire.
Speaker 3: What is the pluses for people that's trying to come
Speaker 3: into this game, for a young person that's looking up
Speaker 3: to you and they say, all right, cool, what is
Speaker 3: the pluses of being with a major Because I'm a
Speaker 3: major label guy. He's an independent guy. But we both
Speaker 3: make compromises. So can you explain to a person who's
Speaker 3: been sleeping under a rock and doesn't know Kanye is
Speaker 3: not making sneakers no more so?
Speaker 1: Can you explain to them the major verse.
Speaker 4: What I'm to say. Major labels, they're like a Chico.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, they have all the relationships
Speaker 2: they've been building for twenty and thirty years, forty fifty whatever,
Speaker 2: how many years.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: They have everything, the whole infrastructure of what they've been
Speaker 2: building for twenty and thirty years. I feel like being independent,
Speaker 2: you have to use your own relationships. You know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying that as a rapper or artist, you might
Speaker 2: have only been in the game for like four or
Speaker 2: five years. You know what I'm saying, You got to
Speaker 2: use all them. But they got every every single person
Speaker 2: on Spotify, every single Purple on Apple Music, Amazon, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, to everything, every single person on Uber, Lift, Airbnb, whatever.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, They got everybody.
Speaker 3: Wait talking about this, I'm old, what the fuck they're
Speaker 3: hiring Uber Travis Now, I'm just saying, they.
Speaker 4: Of everything.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: That's ill, Like you're getting a card play your ship
Speaker 3: you didn't even know it their own are.
Speaker 4: Even thinking of you?
Speaker 1: I say, like you hire Elon Holy Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely some ups and downs to being signed
Speaker 2: to a level where being you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So, but but you were independent.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you were doing independent stuff before ever science, Yeah
Speaker 5: for sure, and you already had some success. And that's
Speaker 5: my argument that if you find success independently, then you
Speaker 5: could make a better deal with the mayor.
Speaker 1: Here's my argument.
Speaker 3: Yes, by the way, I don't disagree with that, but
Speaker 3: here's my argument. This is what I always think. I
Speaker 3: always think, you signed to the major, let them spend
Speaker 3: that bag on you. Yeah, because once they can't take
Speaker 3: back fame.
Speaker 2: For sure, Like I get to a level where you
Speaker 2: don't need a label, Yes, for sure, that's definitely possible.
Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes signed to a label and just
Speaker 2: waiting on that, or sign into a label and you
Speaker 2: signed to them, you're not knowing exactly what you're gonna get,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: You could have of course, the contract that says they're.
Speaker 2: Gonna spend that bag, they're gonna spend it how they
Speaker 2: want to and when they want to, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So like one, for instance, Raydeo labels don't
Speaker 2: spend a lot of money over They don't like to
Speaker 2: spend a lot of money on radio because they don't
Speaker 2: really make money off radio. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: the artists book shows and they get money off radio.
Speaker 2: So unless you are high like super streaming artists and
Speaker 2: that song is already gone and going there, they're not
Speaker 2: really gonna they'll double down on that.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying because I heard you say
Speaker 3: that if you signed with a label, whoever, they star
Speaker 3: artists want to treat exact way.
Speaker 1: Like when I was signed to Republic.
Speaker 2: I'm like, y'all got the Weekend, y'all got Nigga Minaj.
Speaker 2: I want the same treatment y'all give them, I'm saying
Speaker 2: because I'm that caliber right for sure?
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, I mean that's why you know listen, man,
Speaker 3: I love fucking.
Speaker 1: Five star hotel.
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: And when I went from major to independent, oh, I
Speaker 3: must have sounded like a Prima donna. All them niggas
Speaker 3: booked me in the motel, I said, Holy moly, I'm platinum.
Speaker 1: Just don't go together. I was me. I was a
Speaker 1: mad as a motherfucker. I was like, this independence shit
Speaker 1: ain't me.
Speaker 3: But that was because I was so pampered at the time,
Speaker 3: Like going from Depth Jam to fucking gold Face Records.
Speaker 3: It just didn't work out for me. But if I
Speaker 3: would have grinded it out. But but again we you
Speaker 3: guys have direct to consumer, like you don't have to
Speaker 3: go it's a different Independence is a better independent.
Speaker 1: Like you're sure your fans could go with you. Do
Speaker 1: you feel your fans with with you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, But it's also about what you want out of
Speaker 2: being an artist and what you want out of your career.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I don't know some things
Speaker 2: that it's really difficult to do as being an independent artist,
Speaker 2: you feel me. So it just really depends on what
Speaker 2: you want out of it and how much ownership you
Speaker 2: want it.
Speaker 5: You might regret now like you're saying now you're about
Speaker 5: to get the rights reverted back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: But that's because you signed a deal and that you
Speaker 5: didn't on your your master's.
Speaker 4: I want to get spooky for second weird That ship
Speaker 4: sounds crazy.
Speaker 1: The reason why I'm gonna say that right.
Speaker 3: Because I was the young nigga from the hood that
Speaker 3: took that deal that didn't read the contract. You understand,
Speaker 3: that didn't read the car. All I saw it was
Speaker 3: the end result in.
Speaker 4: The first time they ready, I know, check.
Speaker 3: At the end of it, and I was like, you
Speaker 3: know what, even if I get jerked on this one,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make it up.
Speaker 1: For this one.
Speaker 3: All right, let's move on, let's go because we're not
Speaker 3: the mirror. I don't know what the funk that means.
Speaker 3: The mirror. Okay, let's talk about voltures, right you about
Speaker 3: that life, it was number one, no, no, but Kanye
Speaker 3: is probably the most unique individual I've not in hip hop,
Speaker 3: in life, like in life, like like you you go
Speaker 3: me one day was like I just want to hang
Speaker 3: and I didn't know what to say. I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: he's like wherever you ad a pulling up and he

Speaker 3: just like like like he taught me something that the
Speaker 3: world couldn't do it the world tried to teach me.

Speaker 3: told me to do what the fuck you want to do,
Speaker 3: whenever the fuck you want to do it.
Speaker 1: Don't live. He taught me freedom like he did.
Speaker 3: He like literally for the fucking six months that I
Speaker 3: was hanging out with him, whatever over almost every day,

Speaker 2: I'm gonna go pull back up. I pulled back up.

Speaker 2: ship like that. It's dope, It's amazing. It's a blessing, right,
Speaker 2: But I feel like I'm at a tip of the iceberg.
Speaker 2: I'm just started, you know what I'm saying. I feel
Speaker 2: like to where I want to go, and I have a.
Speaker 4: Vision of exactly where I want to go and exactly
Speaker 4: what I want to do.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm just just getting started. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, is that vision seeing international? Yeah? Internationally.
Speaker 2: I think I think a lot of artists here in
Speaker 2: the US they don't see the international properly.
Speaker 1: You know what I think.
Speaker 3: I think you've made so much success for yourself, Solf,
Speaker 3: that you're going to continue to be successful.
Speaker 1: But people don't compare you to you. Yeah, you understand
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say, Like to the time, like
Speaker 1: you're going to go through what Kanye went through.
Speaker 3: Like because you like, like all of your beginning records
Speaker 3: are all hits, and all their records now are continuing
Speaker 3: to be hits. So then I can compare it to
Speaker 3: another artist, especially you so unique that they can't so
Speaker 3: they can compare you to you.
Speaker 1: How's it gonna feel to battle you?
Speaker 4: I don't know who's gonna win who in regards.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's dope, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I remember me coming out with super Dog.
Speaker 3: What what what?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 12: What? What?
Speaker 3: And then I dropping, oh no, and all they said was, well,
Speaker 3: oh no, ain't it's good but it ain't super Dog.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, it's not supposed to be.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, and I think you gotta make it the
Speaker 3: next one double because he's in maybe because I haven't drunk,
Speaker 3: but that.
Speaker 1: But that's what you're gonna battle is yourself.
Speaker 4: That's all. That's the only person should be battling.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you are correct, that's the only you
Speaker 3: should be battling. But there's a lot of people. It's
Speaker 3: not in a very unique situation. What I'm trying to
Speaker 3: say is you're in a very unique situation where you
Speaker 3: don't actually have to be in competition with anybody else.
Speaker 1: You got to be in.
Speaker 3: Competition with your old shit. But guess what, your old
Speaker 3: ship ain't most shit. So you're going to try to
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 1: How does that feel?
Speaker 2: It feels great?
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: It's a challenge, it's definitely a challenge, But you know,
Speaker 2: I could have worse problems.
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, I'm trying to make a
Speaker 2: better record than Carnival. It's possible. I'm doing it. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I got to keep going. I
Speaker 2: feel like one thing I learned from Ya is like
Speaker 2: always elevating your sound. Always want to elevate and elevate
Speaker 2: and take it to the next notch. So I feel
Speaker 2: like every time I do a record, I'm like thinking
Speaker 2: how to elevate it and take it to the next notch.
Speaker 4: Does that mean experimenting? Yeah, for sure a lot.
Speaker 2: Bro. I'm working on a crazy project right now, like
Speaker 2: crazy crazy project.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a fire pay soles on there.
Speaker 1: O Zoona j Valven Is it gleaning moretal Latino? You just.
Speaker 4: I was like, it's like a half English, half shot
Speaker 4: the album with.
Speaker 3: I gotta I remember I told you how to speak
Speaker 3: him about the sh Have a drink, man, I'm taking a.
Speaker 1: Shot for you, because what kind of what kind of
Speaker 1: project is this?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 12: Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it hip hop meets Latino?
Speaker 2: Is it? It's gonna be like probably like fourteen songs,
Speaker 2: like ten songs, half English, me rapping in.
Speaker 3: Both and you go rap in Spanish. Yeah, I got
Speaker 3: some reference, missed the league on sound just to like yeah,
Speaker 3: and it.
Speaker 5: Makes sense with that international like vision, you like a whole.
Speaker 2: Song rapping Spanish because I don't know, like just a
Speaker 2: couple of words, but even just to collaborate ship that
Speaker 2: is outside the box, like you, you gotta trade these
Speaker 2: these audiences they think. They said that I was like
Speaker 2: the first one to do an album like that he
Speaker 2: was like the first one to do a song and that.
Speaker 1: That means he gotta be on the album. Let me
Speaker 1: I tell you. I'll tell you something about.
Speaker 3: Because I don't want to just give reggae throne. They
Speaker 3: even though I'm giving Throe, they props, but it's bigger
Speaker 3: than reggae throne.
Speaker 1: There's a certain type of energy that you do when
Speaker 1: you do music that's.
Speaker 3: Outside of hip hop, and then when the hip hop
Speaker 3: audience support that. But I can tell you like this,
Speaker 3: I was used to bloody money, I was used to
Speaker 3: bang bang. I was used to doing things like that.
Speaker 3: And when I started to do Spanish music, I could
Speaker 3: stay in the club the whole night, everybody with dance
Speaker 3: and I like nobody's gonna stab nobody.
Speaker 2: I mean it.
Speaker 1: I was so used to like bang bang stab somebody.
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, I did a good show, Like I thought,
Speaker 3: I didn't do a good show that somebody.
Speaker 1: It wasn't going down. It was a stab stab. That's
Speaker 1: that crazy Miami.
Speaker 3: And by the way, it didn't go down a lot
Speaker 3: in down it there was a lot of immigration going on.
Speaker 4: Immigration that everybody.
Speaker 1: Down everybody had a green card.
Speaker 3: Oh they didn't have a green car like okay, hell yeah,

Speaker 4: You can't even believe that they was willing to do it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that was like, let's do it. First, I just told

Speaker 2: you a house in the hills. You can record there.
Speaker 2: That's your place, put a studio in it, whatever. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, I'm gonna sign you. And then
Speaker 2: like a couple of weeks later, I'm recording. I'm recording.
Speaker 2: I did a new freezer and I played it for
Speaker 2: him and he's like, yo, bro. He's like, yo, Bro,
Speaker 2: I want you to meet Kendrick. No, no, top stop
Speaker 2: get like that. Kendrick is not lit at this time.
Speaker 2: Kendrick is coming up.
Speaker 4: No, definitely Kendrick. And again I saw some in.
Speaker 5: TD somehow was connected in the situation where.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard you almost signed the TD at one point, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I got chills coming out humps was.
Speaker 2: Like at the time, I think like I was here
Speaker 2: in top It was like a team type of thing
Speaker 2: because many Smith was working with Top. It was tied
Speaker 2: in and then I played the New Freezer. He's like, yo, bro,
Speaker 2: Kendrick wants to meet you. I told him I was
Speaker 2: signing you and ship. He wants to meet you. I'm
Speaker 2: recording at the studio. I'll keep recording every day saying
Speaker 2: that to you. Yeah, he like, Kendrick wants to meet you.
Speaker 2: He recording in the room next door. I'm like, Kendrick
Speaker 2: is right next door in the room. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: he about to come in here. I'm like, oh shit,
Speaker 2: I'm like all right, man. So I played them two songs.
Speaker 2: I played them one song and then the second song
Speaker 2: I played him was New Freezer. So when I'm playing
Speaker 2: New Freezer for him, he like this the one he
Speaker 2: like this the one.
Speaker 1: I was like, that is the one.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I was like, yo.
Speaker 2: But at the time, there was a verse from Asap
Speaker 2: fer on New Freezer. Because when I record a New Freezer,
Speaker 2: I was at Quad Studios in New York. It was
Speaker 2: first it was a fird session, so Ferg had left out.
Speaker 2: I think he was doing some shit with Buster in
Speaker 2: the other room.
Speaker 1: That said.
Speaker 2: He was doing some shit with Buster, and then I
Speaker 2: didn't new freezing. I think I recorded like fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: and then he put a verse on it. So I
Speaker 2: played it for Kendrick. He was like, all right, cool,
Speaker 2: I get on it, but it just got to be
Speaker 2: me and you on the song type shit. I was like, damn,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, we gotta go, you know,
Speaker 2: conversation Yeah, a good dude. No, definitely a good dude.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he definitely understood, and he was like, yeah, bro,
Speaker 2: deal ship. You know what I'm saying. Definitely go and
Speaker 2: drop the ship. So I dropped Kendrick and it was like.
Speaker 1: Out of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I told the girl.
Speaker 1: It was like.
Speaker 4: That was three months later after I had brought my
Speaker 4: way out my deal ship.
Speaker 3: And because you know, as you I just want to
Speaker 3: say this to the artists. Most execs thinks they're smarter
Speaker 3: than us. So when you ask the exit, they're actually
Speaker 3: laughing at us just being out, they're actually laughing at
Speaker 3: us because they're gonna say he'll be back or help.
Speaker 3: So the fact is what you did is it's phenomenal.
Speaker 3: You know, you did it honorable. I didn't see no
Speaker 3: fuck QC campaign. I didn't see no, you know, fuck
Speaker 3: three hundred campaign, just like I just want.
Speaker 1: To move on and do my ship. And you did it.
Speaker 2: You did it.
Speaker 1: That ship is that ship is ill.
Speaker 3: And that's the reason why I think that they like
Speaker 3: they're not bothering you, like they're not like trying to
Speaker 3: like sabotage you a black boy youth because you know, you.
Speaker 4: Did good business. But I got a question that paying
Speaker 4: for so you you made that move.
Speaker 5: Do you do you ever feel because you were honest
Speaker 5: with Interscope about your situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was honest with Manny Smith.
Speaker 3: That wasn't he didn't represent any school he did, So
Speaker 3: you're being honest.
Speaker 5: So you know, you're kind of showing your vulnerability to
Speaker 5: the label. You know, when you got these this contract
Speaker 5: from them, you went through it thoroughly. I'm assuming you
Speaker 5: want to make sure that they're not saying, oh, he
Speaker 5: needs this, so we try to sneak this and sneak
Speaker 5: in this.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I fulfill the contract.
Speaker 4: But I mean I thought myself for like.
Speaker 2: Like kind of getting into it with them, for like,
Speaker 2: like I said, like feeling like I wasn't treated like
Speaker 2: their biggest artists or something like that. So I kind
Speaker 2: of like really got into it with them, like oh,
Speaker 2: getting pissed off because you got to think about it.
Speaker 2: I'm not knowing I'm not knowing shit about no label business.
Speaker 2: I'm coming straight off the streets. I'm just no Listen,
Speaker 2: this is my music. I feel passionate about this, and
Speaker 2: I'm willing to go whatever the risk is for this,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So I kind of got
Speaker 2: into it with them and I had to leave In
Speaker 2: the scope, They're like, Okay, you can't be on Interscope
Speaker 2: anymore type ship because.
Speaker 1: That would have been your first official rollout on a
Speaker 1: mad Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, yeah, I dropped the I dropped the album
Speaker 2: with them and with Number two and share on bill Boys.
Speaker 2: But after that, after that, like I was getting into
Speaker 2: it with them because I feel like just some things
Speaker 2: wasn't you know what I'm saying, How I wanted to
Speaker 2: you feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: And I got into it and they let me go
Speaker 4: to the Republic.
Speaker 3: That's the thing about in the Scope, it seems like
Speaker 3: they either fully got your back or not at all?
Speaker 1: Right, Like I mean, did that feel like that for you?
Speaker 12: Man?
Speaker 4: I just I feel like it is what it is
Speaker 4: at this point, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Like they did with the Yeah, well I needed the
Speaker 2: ship was insane, you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 2: feel like bro, I do. Like I said, I fought
Speaker 2: myself for not knowing how to be a businessman. Just
Speaker 2: a young nigga coming in like a young nigga. I
Speaker 2: want some young nigga shit like nigga. I want my
Speaker 2: ship on the fucking web caviar right now, That's not
Speaker 2: exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I want number one on motherfucking this.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: It's like.
Speaker 2: Like they work, how they work.
Speaker 3: You know what's interesting what you're saying. As you said,
Speaker 3: radio is it? They don't make money off for radio,
Speaker 3: no more said. And you know, for me, that's how
Speaker 3: we started our campaign. We went to master Flex drop
Speaker 3: a bomb, uh the Flex a cosmic capital here about
Speaker 3: it in Philadelphia Cosmic kevi do it crack here.
Speaker 2: That's how I started off a lot of my artists too,
Speaker 2: Like I knowing independently I'm gonna spend money on radio
Speaker 2: and turn them up, you know what I'm saying. Then
Speaker 2: they're like, who the fuck is this? Kid going crazy,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So then they had to
Speaker 2: come back to me like Okay, oh now they know
Speaker 2: what he's doing, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But then how do you how do you transition that
Speaker 3: if you start your new artist or say like Jake
Speaker 3: Cret Chris, how do you do that if you started
Speaker 3: off from radio but your generation people that y'all controlled
Speaker 3: is Spotify, Apple, Like.
Speaker 2: With Jake Chris, like bro it was just organically, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he from Brooklyn organically just dropping video as a video
Speaker 2: us dropping mixtapes together, back to back to back. So
Speaker 2: his come up was just really organic, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it was really easy, like on the
Speaker 2: come up for him. And then I was signed to
Speaker 2: Interscope and then I was like, yo, sign him to Terscope,
Speaker 2: like we it's a team type of thing. So I
Speaker 2: was like I went on that end, right, So.
Speaker 1: We talked about Jay. Now I want to talk about
Speaker 1: what's my man next? Decks? Famous decks?
Speaker 3: Right, me being the elder statesman in this game, And
Speaker 3: I don't want to say that, but I'll say it
Speaker 3: for lack of a better term, successful elder statesmen. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, not somebody that you know that
Speaker 3: had a success, And then I'm sitting around you.
Speaker 1: Know what I did back then? No, I'm still making
Speaker 1: history now, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I'm still doing it. And I was I would be
Speaker 3: scared to reach out to the young generation, right me.
Speaker 3: This is me personally, just not you know, me talking
Speaker 3: about any anything else. That's why I said, but I
Speaker 3: see you. It's like a pleasure the light when I
Speaker 3: see young motherfuckers that know what time it is, and
Speaker 3: it's like, all right cool. One of the very first
Speaker 3: times I wanted to reach out and just kind of
Speaker 3: like offer a hug to somebody was when I seen
Speaker 3: Famous Decks and I believe it might have been on
Speaker 3: No Jump or I'm not sure, and it just didn't
Speaker 3: look right mhm. And I know I'm drinking alcohol, and
Speaker 3: I'm drinking alcohol. I have a show based on alcohol,
Speaker 3: So it's like, how the fuck is this nigga? Gonna
Speaker 3: critique this nigga? But I'm not critiquing him from an
Speaker 3: alcohol standpoint. I'm critiquing him from an oldest statesman of
Speaker 3: hip hop. And it's like, Yo, I've been through this ship.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 3: I mean, I wanted to sit down with him. I
Speaker 3: never got a chance to. But when you've seen that,
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've seen the same interview that I saw.
Speaker 3: And this is your man, I know, I know you
Speaker 3: call him your brother. Actually what was the phone calls
Speaker 3: like when people saw that?
Speaker 2: And man, I don't I really don't know exactly which
Speaker 2: interview you're talking about in particular.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I know there was like, yeah, I fell
Speaker 1: asleep in the interview.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, like when he was started spiraling, I
Speaker 2: had to hit him up as a brother and call
Speaker 2: him like, Yo, we gotta get this together. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. I took him to rehab a couple
Speaker 2: of times, you know what I'm saying. He went to
Speaker 2: jail after that. You know, it's just like he came
Speaker 2: home a Christian, Yes, just you know, struggling with an
Speaker 2: addiction is hard, bro, Like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: And as a brother, I just got to be there
Speaker 2: to support him, you know, every way I can, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like, however you want to get there.
Speaker 2: I took him, I drove to rehabs, I took him
Speaker 2: on the jets rehabs. However, you want to get there,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take you there to get help.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I'm gonna be here to
Speaker 4: help you.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. But you know, like you
Speaker 2: gotta really want help for yourself, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: That's why I tell him every time, like, bro, you
Speaker 2: have to want this for yourself. You know, It's just
Speaker 2: it's hard, bro. You know it's usually you got to
Speaker 2: hit rock bottom to But you know, I'm here for
Speaker 2: him always. I'm always here from him. That's my brother.
Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, let me let me change
Speaker 1: it up a little bit.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I love doing this show.
Speaker 1: There's two things. I like.
Speaker 3: Understanding people's drink order whenever I say, like what they drinking?
Speaker 3: I love that ship, right, And then I love the
Speaker 3: funk with your fans. So I went on Twitter. I
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, we gotta rich the kid and your
Speaker 3: fans are crazy. Do you realize how crazy is your fans?
Speaker 3: Like no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no no,
Speaker 3: that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Like, I mean you have a cult following, like and
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Cope, that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. Not Marilynd Madison.
Speaker 4: That's a positive thing.
Speaker 1: It's a positive thing. Like like I said that show
Speaker 1: my bad I said that ship and they was.
Speaker 3: I mean, they hit me with so much questions and
Speaker 3: so much crazy ship and they was.
Speaker 1: You know, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have fans being fans be fans.
Speaker 3: Last time I seen this was when we had Little
Speaker 3: Wayne on the show. The only difference between your fans
Speaker 3: a little Wayne fans. Your fans is way more aggressive
Speaker 3: Wayne little way fans is nice. They're like, so when
Speaker 3: are we going to drop your fans? Like where's that
Speaker 3: ship dropping?
Speaker 4: Like shit?
Speaker 3: So so do you understand your fan base? Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 3: because I didn't understand it.
Speaker 2: Was just like fans, my fans just like you gotta
Speaker 2: just keep feeding them like NonStop, gotta keep going, keep going,
Speaker 2: keep dropping. And because you got to think about like
Speaker 2: music is changing. You know what I'm saying. Hip hop
Speaker 2: is changing, the way that people consume music is changing.
Speaker 2: It's just like there's people coming out every day, what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it's like music every hour, every hour, damn,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So you just got to
Speaker 2: really adapt to this ship, like so adapted to my
Speaker 2: fans changing, my fans getting older. Everybody get older.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. So I'm just getting used
Speaker 4: to that ship keep dropping, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It just like right now, I'm just elevating the sound,
Speaker 2: like I said before, like elevation in the town.
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm excited. I'm super excited for.
Speaker 2: What was to come.
Speaker 1: And the luxury of having a cult following is that
Speaker 1: they'll change with you.
Speaker 3: And being an artist CEO that that works for you
Speaker 3: because you're doing it right now. You're doing a perfect
Speaker 3: balance of being an artist and taking care of your artist.
Speaker 1: That is fucking hard to do, for sure. I believe
Speaker 1: Rick Ross was successful in doing that, and I don't
Speaker 1: believe it. There's a lot of others.
Speaker 4: I think Fat Joe Jay, Oh Jay, I got about yeah.
Speaker 3: Fifty right, yes, look look at us. I don't think
Speaker 3: we at four. I think we at four. Who threw
Speaker 3: a rock Da Burkin bird man Man became he was
Speaker 3: a CEO talking strictly like, yeah, yeah, I'm talking.
Speaker 1: About artist, artist, artist, artists.
Speaker 5: Yeah, good music, yeah yeah yeah. But Kanye had the
Speaker 5: luxury of being a producer artist, so yeah, yo got
Speaker 5: you got, Yo got definitely.
Speaker 1: Every time I see Yo Gotti to change.
Speaker 3: Did you ever think like when you first started rapping? Yeah,
Speaker 3: and the level you're at now, like like one of
Speaker 3: the that's one of the best things.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: We spoke about it earlier. Is not only you being
Speaker 3: in the rap game, you could be in the rap game.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people in the rap game. You're
Speaker 3: being respected in the rap game. Yeah, Like I was
Speaker 3: so happy going through your and I'm just like, Yo,
Speaker 3: this one got hit. But two they respect him and
Speaker 3: and that is a big thing, and it did Did
Speaker 3: you ever you ever noticed that?
Speaker 2: Man? I just try to stay in my lane and
Speaker 2: just be me. You know what I'm saying, Do me
Speaker 2: and continue to do that. You know, people look at
Speaker 2: other people on the ground or look at other people's
Speaker 2: career and other says, and they might start spiraling and
Speaker 2: doing whatever they do. You know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 2: just am good at doing me and only that. That's
Speaker 2: that's all I ever do.
Speaker 3: That's a beautiful thing, man. It's because to give respect
Speaker 3: is one thing. To get it back there's a whole another.
Speaker 3: And I can tell people go in a session with
Speaker 3: you and ask your opinion, what do you think about this?
Speaker 3: I can tell because all the records that you on,
Speaker 3: whether it's what artists or not, your influences throughout the
Speaker 3: whole record. So I'm not trying to say your ghost
Speaker 3: writing nigga shit, maybe I am.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But what I'm trying to say is, I know you're
Speaker 3: constructing these records. I know people are coming to you
Speaker 3: and saying, what do you think I just should do
Speaker 3: on this thing? So do you feel like you're a
Speaker 3: producer producer?

Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I ain't gonna I want
Speaker 1: you to produce the record for me. Let's do it.
Speaker 5: Okay, what if from what you've been dealing with and
Speaker 5: working with in your career right now, where do you
Speaker 5: think you might have messed up?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: What what things do you regret in this journey.
Speaker 2: Arguing with the labels? You know what I'm saying, getting
Speaker 2: into it with them because Dave Dave some folks when
Speaker 2: don't folks don't play? Yeah, biggest regret, that's one of
Speaker 2: my bist regression. Yeah, for sure, arguing with them getting

Speaker 4: That ship is not a joke. Is not a joke.
Speaker 2: It is not joke. It's is not a game.

Speaker 2: Okay, no problem, my bad, y'all. I was tripping. I
Speaker 2: was I don't know what I was sipping that day.
Speaker 2: You said it to them, but yeah, yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: want no problem with nothing. But like, yeah, I was
Speaker 2: tripping whatever. I got on Twitter and I posted one
Speaker 2: of their numbers, like yo, tell yo, tell them stop
Speaker 2: playing with me and drop my song. They better, they
Speaker 2: better do this. I was swallowing, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: and I started bro I was tripping. I was on
Speaker 2: the drink. I was sipping lean and you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. I had a bad lean problem. But you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. And I was wild enough, but
Speaker 2: I was upset. I was years.
Speaker 1: I feel like, this is my music terrible. Yeah I
Speaker 1: get it, I get it, but it's not terrible. It's
Speaker 1: not terrible.
Speaker 2: They could change their number. Yeah, you don't want to
Speaker 2: see you. All the label want to see you.
Speaker 4: Bro, This is not a game.
Speaker 1: You don't want to change something.
Speaker 4: Sure, And and it's like bro, like I said, I
Speaker 4: was just young and stupid, just fresh off I'm damn
Speaker 4: near fresh off the porch. I'm not signed.
Speaker 2: I've never been signed to no label. I'm I'm not
Speaker 2: playing by my music. I stood in front of the clubs,
Speaker 2: hand out these CDs. I went to every club. I
Speaker 2: went to one club, to another club, to another club,
Speaker 2: rode on the train. I ain't have no money to get.
Speaker 4: Home after that.
Speaker 2: So and then I'm just signing to you, putting my
Speaker 2: music in your hands. And then you're telling me I
Speaker 2: can't do this, I can't do that, this has to
Speaker 2: be Then this, I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: What is you?
Speaker 3: What is going on?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, But that's business. The day,
Speaker 2: that's business. You sign a contract and we know that business.
Speaker 2: You feel I'm saying, you sign a contract in.
Speaker 5: This says, but you know what, it's not really fair
Speaker 5: business if you think about if the if the opposite
Speaker 5: person in that business transaction doesn't know the business. Now
Speaker 5: do you think do you think that because in our
Speaker 5: in the nineties there was there was artist development.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't sign and just go out to the public.
Speaker 5: They would put you through a process like a boot
Speaker 5: camp to understand stuff.
Speaker 1: Do you think that that's needed?
Speaker 9: Man?
Speaker 4: Nowadays, that's bro. They signed so many people off of whatever.
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's I don't even sink that's possible.
Speaker 5: No, it's not possible, but no, no, but it is
Speaker 5: possible because because the artist, because.
Speaker 1: Of the artist stuff is in real time, we can't
Speaker 1: do that. But hit me out.
Speaker 3: That's like you signed his artist and him not telling
Speaker 3: him to listen. You know, most people respect when you
Speaker 3: don't rhy on for the vocals. That's kind of artist.
Speaker 1: Development right there. True him just saying that, you're just
Speaker 1: saying to famous decks. Yo.
Speaker 2: It's different too, because like I've never used the writer ever,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, So artists development, they could
Speaker 2: be like okay, now using right, and now you're doing
Speaker 2: the development.
Speaker 1: Artist development is showing you how to speak to readio.
Speaker 1: You're thinking about label side, there's management artists development. Management
Speaker 1: tells you about the artist development.
Speaker 3: That's a different part. Okay, that's the part you look
Speaker 3: and I.
Speaker 5: Don't think anybody's going to really kind of get this,
Speaker 5: But remember, ultimately, when you signed a record label, that's
Speaker 5: a loan, that's a that's a bank loan.
Speaker 2: You know that they don't understand that. They don't understand that.
Speaker 2: They just know at the end of this check, at
Speaker 2: the end of this contract is a check. My lawyer
Speaker 2: whatever he said, it's cool. I know I'm about to
Speaker 2: get this money tomorrow.
Speaker 5: In the context of that, In the context of that,
Speaker 5: you know that they that back in the days when
Speaker 5: they was given credit cards to sixteen year old kids
Speaker 5: from that age on, they called the predatory lending and
Speaker 5: it became a big lawsuit and they called and then
Speaker 5: they suit all the banks. That's what the labels are
Speaker 5: doing when they signed these young artists. It's predatory lending.
Speaker 1: Damn.
Speaker 5: They might be a little older than sixteen, but they
Speaker 5: don't have their financial education yet. So you you you
Speaker 5: you really taking advantage of that.
Speaker 1: Artist jeez, Louise, Papa Chee. We got deep. Now you
Speaker 1: bringing out of other now okay, now, so let's talk
Speaker 1: about the NBA project. You and young boy. You got
Speaker 1: to go to Utah. No, not Utah, You went to Louisiana. Yeah.

Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like it's when he first
Speaker 2: got out, just keeping him in a good mindset and.
Speaker 1: He's not messing with nobody. How did and this is
Speaker 1: before he on house arrests, right oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Like when he was locked up, Like we
