Yeah, I was living 66 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: like a rapper and I'm a comic. I'm like, what 67 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: am I doing? You know this to be true. But 68 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: I was taking private jets and yeah, hey where are you? 69 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's all go first class, you know, that 70 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: kind of dumb ship. It's the it's the images and 71 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: it's the it's the expectation that we try to live 72 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: up to, but rarely do we live up to our reality, 73 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, and everybody wants to have the appearance of success, 74 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: especially in social media. You know, you know, everybody's life 75 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: is greater, everybody's sex life is great, everybody's rich or 76 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: everybody has this and everybody's going on. But in reality, 77 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen that way. So you know, when when 78 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: I when when I when I hit like a really 79 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: tough spot, it was like, wow, I really fucked it up. 80 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: You know. I had like a two million dollar tacks 81 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: debt I had, Yeah, like like it was very fucking bad. 82 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: And I had, you know, and just you know, when 83 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: you're young, especially coming into the music industry, you know, 84 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: you get people that you know, you don't make it 85 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: unless you have a contract, you have a business manager, 86 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: you have a gold chain in the car, all these things. 87 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: The I'm about to fail as a rapper, kid, you 88 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: know what, I'm about to funk off all my whole 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: ship rapper kit, you know. And so I had all 90 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: these things and none of those things and none of 91 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: those people, um did the right thing by what they 92 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: were hired to do. So I learned the hardway, man, 93 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: and and and it's not easy to come out from 94 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: under that. It seems that actually, it seems like that 95 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: is a a constant reoccurrence or occurrence in the music industry. 96 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: Like you hear so many different stories about artists who 97 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: you know, manager ripped them off, lawyer ripped them off. 98 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: Like I don't know if it's in any other industry, 99 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: but I know it's very prominent in hip hop, you 100 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like those stories are you hear 101 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: them all the time. And then it doesn't help that 102 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: they fucking don't pay you what you're supposed to be paid. Either. 103 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: But you know that's a whole another episode. Hence, industry 104 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: shake that bum Bumpy Bumpy doesn't just let it slide by. 105 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: He write an album about it.

Mis's like driving 175 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: a car. Then the feeling, the excitement you get from 176 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: driving it wears off, and then it's just like I 177 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: need to get in my car and go somewhere.

So Ris Bonnie, just so you know, 183 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: I took a drive a street legal. Yeah, I took 184 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: a picture next to it. I'm gonna claim it there. 185 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: You ain't got no problem because the biggest Yeah, the 186 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: biggest money mistake I've ever made was not making enough 187 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: to buy Yeah, that's a common one. I wish that. 188 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: I because I got into the music thing when I 189 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: was like eight nine. His dad was a musician. My 190 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: father had a hit single in nineteen seventy and like 191 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: tour it all over. And so when I when I 192 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: was like twelve, I got into martial arts and my 193 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: family was kind of hoping that we were go into 194 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: that business. But I always had that entertainment bug. So 195 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: then I went and learned how to produce hip hop 196 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: music and I did it for a little while. My 197 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: one claim to fame was I had I did a 198 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: few songs. Remember that movie on HBO. It was Force 199 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: Whittaker's directorial debut. It was called Strapped, and Dude from 200 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: Onyx was in. I did this. I did three of 201 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: the tracks on that sound track. Yeah, my name is 202 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: actually in the credits for them. But made zero. I 203 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: got it, Yeah, Jay, no money. Um, I got some 204 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: equipment out of the deal. And then and then I 205 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: had kids really young, and then ended up opening a 206 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: martial arts business. But man, I wish I had somebody 207 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: like I'm impressed when I hear these stories and then 208 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: you guys overcame it. And what I like about the 209 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: business now is there's there was a time, and you 210 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: know this when the artist, the artist was the lowest 211 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: on the totem poem everybody. I mean, my dad was. 212 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: My dad was crushing cockroaches in his kitchen with his 213 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: shoes while his hit was playing on the radio, and 214 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: managers and agents were living in mansions in the hills, 215 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And back then he and 216 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: he was just a kid when he got into it. 217 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: What's amazing now is you can build thing yourself. You know. 218 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: I like to hate on social media, but at the 219 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: same time, I'm like, it's beautiful. I love stories of 220 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: white people being taking I mean, we were poor, We 221 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: were very poor Black. Um, it's just so boring black 222 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: that he ended up becoming white. We had roaches, Ye, 223 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: you looked under my sink when I was a kid. 224 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: Back I had roaches with turbanus a lot of beach 225 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: growing up, a long beach. We had roaches with they 226 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: had guns. Yeah, you have roaches and red roaches. Red 227 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: roaches came in from inglewood. The trick is the trick 228 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: as an artist, though is to try to figure out 229 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: your lane, like like like I was able to figure 230 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: and it took and I'm still doing it. But it's 231 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: it's even as like when you love the creative process 232 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: as much as I do. In certain Cats students, it's 233 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: like you try to figure out, I gotta get in 234 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: my lane and put on blinders and focus just on 235 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: that lane, you know, and then you're not worrying about 236 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: trying to change up to fit. What radio is telling 237 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: you is popping or some a and our guys telling 238 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: you all you should do this, so you should. I've 239 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: never been good at that ship. I just know what 240 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: I know how to do, and I am really in 241 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: love with the creative process. Anytime I call you, I 242 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: FaceTime Bumpy all the time, and he's work always in 243 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: the studio, every time, ago with blue light if I 244 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: know the blue lights on in there. He's in the lab, 245 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: and like, what are you doing? What's working on this front? 246 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, fucking Bumping Knuckles has about 247 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: seventeen albums he's sitting on and I get in his 248 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: ass every time, would you fucking release one? Pop? Duke? 249 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: Was never gonna come out, wasn't it? I kept telling 250 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: you got put this, please put this album. Sometimes making 251 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: records isn't for public consumption. Sometimes, you know, I'll make 252 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,599 Speaker 1: something and we'll never see the light of day, and 253 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: people will be like, why don't you just put that out? 254 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: It's because a it's like it doesn't belong in the 255 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: body of work that I'm working on at the time, 256 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: and because I have this doesn't mean it needs to 257 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: go out to the public. That's that's some people. Something 258 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: that goes back to what Bump people saying. It's like 259 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: some people, you know, want that limelight so bad that 260 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: it drives them, and that's the wrong thing to be 261 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: driven by, you know, because you know, things going cycles, 262 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: so you may be out of the limelight, but you 263 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: can still be creative and still you don't have that 264 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: passion for it. And a lot of people, you know, 265 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: you can see where the divide happens when people that 266 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: love what they do and and and stay true to it, 267 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: and then you get people that you know, try to 268 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: follow the trends and go with the times wrap over 269 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: a kind of weird tempo beats and different I'm just 270 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: think about that, all of that stuff that you catalog 271 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: though the longer you keep it that nobody has it 272 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: and more. It's the value of it is so much more, man. 273 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I got albums with so many people that 274 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: they probably forgot that I have albums with them. But 275 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: he'll be playing me songs. I'm like, Yo, it's fucking dope. 276 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: Put that out. Yeah yeah, maybe I don't know, asshole 277 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: to say, who did the beat? Uh? Who? What? When? When? 278 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: When is that coming up? What's the title that ship? 279 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: Don't I don't give a moved by that. I'd rather 280 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: I'd rather wait, Like, look at that, Look at all 281 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: of this n f T ship that's going on now, 282 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: Like it's about exclusivity, it's about the exclusive ship. A 283 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: lot of these dudes don't have exclusive ship because they're 284 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: they're fucking up the mystique of the process by posting 285 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: the drumbeat before they even add the music. And they 286 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: were on social media saying I'm in the studio look 287 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: and and the meters are moving and the faders are 288 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: up and I'm doing it. And then they're smoking weed 289 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: and they're doing that thing in the lab. But they're 290 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: they're showing people before the Actually the process used to 291 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: be so sacred. You know, studio used dudes couldn't afford 292 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: to go to the studio. They couldn't afford studio time. 293 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: Studio time was something that you could end up with 294 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: a thirty thousand dollar bill for and the label is like, well, 295 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: you owe us money, you know what I'm saying. But 296 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: that process was a sacred thing. Now everybody's showing you 297 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: what it is. And they got all these how to 298 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: wrap for dummies books out and how to produce for 299 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: dummy books out. It's just a different but the producing 300 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: game is different now. Nobody's like making beats and make it, 301 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: oh ship, it's usually sound packs, sound pack bound. It 302 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: sounds like it sounds like you're just checking the levels 303 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: on your fucking beat machine. Yeah, but the tools that 304 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: artists have are so more accessible nowadays. Right, so it 305 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: gives everybody the uh, the idea that they're able to 306 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: do it as well. Right, So, like you know between 307 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, fl studios and and funk all that, funk 308 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: all that, because you don't that not only exists in theory. 309 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: You won't take your ass onto a professional football field 310 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: just because you can get some pads and think that 311 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: you can play football. You ain't gonna walk out into 312 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: a professional hockey ring and be like, oh, let me 313 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: try this ship. I can be a professional hockey player 314 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: and gets your ass lit up like like there's there's 315 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: there's only exist in hip hop where everybody feels like, hey, 316 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: it's a community tool, like we can all do it, 317 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: be a rapper note no experience needed, and then they're 318 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: rewarded for it. And that's what helps that stupid cycle continue. Right, Yeah, 319 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: I agree with that. You know why because I said 320 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: that earlier. I said it's some funny motherfucker's I hear. 321 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how to tell you. And it's here's 322 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: the thing with it. It's social media. I know I 323 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: should on it, but I love it.

Because it was a workout room, I said, 363 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: well then shut. Yeah, I see a rapper would have 364 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: took the word a word I could get on. There 365 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: are people, there's there's guys that rhyme, right, there's guys 366 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: that know how to rhyme, but they don't know how 367 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: to spit. They don't have they don't have no technique 368 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: to their flow. They don't have the every every beat 369 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: you put on. See back in the days, we rocked 370 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: to a DJ playing record, so battling was different. It 371 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, we gotta focus on staying on time 372 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: with the DJ, staying to sync with the DJ, um 373 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: having good versus good boss, knowing how to present punch lines. 374 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: It's just you know something, this this redundant attitude that 375 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: rappers have not it's just like looking at a carbon 376 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: copy of the same thing of seven word rhymes and 377 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: they don't even and some of as some of the 378 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: lyrics are good, but they don't know how to present them. 379 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: A theory about that. I think motherfucker's don't read enough. Now, 380 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: I don't think and it sounds funny, but there's some 381 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: reading like you have. You have to listen. Listen, we 382 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: come from that, if we come from encyclopedias, man, you 383 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like, my parents never answered questions 384 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: if these kids come these kids are coming from porn hunts, 385 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: they said. They said. Every time I ask him a question, 386 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: they'd be like, go look it up. And I had 387 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: the Britannica fucking volumes all in the house and I'd 388 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: have to go look through. You gotta learn how. You 389 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: gotta know how to spell platypus to find platypus. You 390 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But if you if you, if 391 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: you stuck on a hundred words vocabulary, you don't hear 392 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: people speaking to you in English and you speak English too, 393 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: and be mad because you don't understand what the funk 394 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: they're saying, and then just using words with three syllables. 395 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: So when you have that, I mean, of course your 396 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: raps are gonna sound like fucking howdy dooty, fucking doctor 397 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: seuits because you don't understand anything else. But there are 398 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: some there are dudes out here that when they wrap, 399 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: you think they're stupid, and then you when you have 400 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: a conversation with them, they're intelligence like, well, why aren't 401 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: you rapping that way? Like? And I don't understand that 402 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: other than the fact that maybe it's because it sells 403 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: or it works or whatever. I think what happens is 404 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: people have got a lot of a lot of a 405 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: lot of It's been told to rappers that saying the 406 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: most outrageous shit about your personal business is the way 407 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: to go. So instead of really writing about subject matter, 408 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: the subject matter stays where it's it's easy to be angry, 409 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: it's easy, it's fun to be mad. Most cats that 410 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: you put on the record, they the first thing they 411 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: think about rapping is you gotta be angry. And that 412 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: may be my fault that maybe that's when they're rhyming 413 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: with you. That may be my fault because I was 414 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: I took an anger that I had with the music business, 415 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: and I took it and put it on the music 416 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: and I expressed it. And then now when I do 417 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: ship that's not angry, they go, yeah, now they won't 418 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: say that ever, but they will say, but they will, 419 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: but they will, but they will say, they will say, 420 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 1: they will say, I like, I like. So. So what 421 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: I did was I had to put a title on 422 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: That's where bumpy knuckles come from. I had to put 423 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: a title on that angle because so I can control it. 424 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: Because Freddie Fox's music wasn't that. I was making songs 425 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: like the Ladies Jam. I was wrapping for the girls 426 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: in the beginning. But then I got in this fucked 427 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: up game and people pissed me off, and I say, 428 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: I gotta figure out how to control this ship, because 429 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: I act on my ship like I get on it, 430 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: like if if i'm if I'm feeling that I got 431 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: so so that became that. But a lot of people 432 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: feel like that's the that's the best approach to take 433 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: when everybody don't wake up mad every day, everybody don't 434 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: wake up and you can say you do your fucking liar, 435 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: you you can say you do you don't wake up 436 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: in the same mood every day. Every Some people feel like, yo, 437 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: I want to inspire people. I can't do inspirational songs 438 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: because people say, oh, that's cool, and producers want me 439 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: to turn them into premiere. I wrapped on people's songs 440 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: and they were like, oh, I thought you was gonna 441 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: do what you did on Militia. I'm like, yo, you 442 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: want me to turn you into premiere. Yeah, well you gotta. 443 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: You gotta come with that, because I'm gonna give the 444 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: music where they give me, and I'm not gonna that's 445 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: the all I can do. I can't do more than that. 446 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: And as an m C, you know that somebody give 447 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: you a track and you go, yeah, this is a 448 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: cool beat, but and you write what you feel and 449 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: then they'd be like, oh, they want your last hit 450 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: record on their beat, and it's like, no, it don't 451 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: work like that. I mean, going back to what Exhibits said, 452 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: I just think he right. A lot of rappers don't read, 453 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, That's why there's no substance. I was laughing 454 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: as soon as he said that. I was thinking about 455 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: when the teacher called you up in front of the 456 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: classroom and read the paragraph, and the people that couldn't 457 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: read got mad. Now they're making records. Don't call me now. 458 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: We got a whole bunch of in front of the class, 459 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: and you know, the smart the smart nerd people, the 460 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: smart nerd people. Because it's like showtime at the apotom. 461 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: I can't wait for us, dude, We're gonna have some fun. 462 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: I hope. He stutters. That was back in the days 463 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: all you know, when it got crazy. When the teacher 464 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: told him to sound it out, don't worry sound and 465 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: he like math math. They went from mass to math. 466 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: He's like, and the word is sucking thug. And we 467 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: were and were on the floor. You know. I remember, 468 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: I remember being in a and when I was a kid, 469 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: they sent us to the summer camp in the Bible 470 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: study school, right so that the kid got a little 471 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: good tough guy. I always want to pick on everybody. 472 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: The pastor guy made him come up and read and 473 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: he said, when married did not have Jesus from the 474 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: womb said the word is womb earl. Girl. He got 475 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: mad to the so I get it. And that's a 476 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: big component to where everybody's like, why isn't hip hop 477 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: like this? And that and now it's like even if 478 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: you can't speak and and are literate, can do it all. Look, 479 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: they have to communicate with the audience, the masters. And 480 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: if they are only accepting this, and you know what 481 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying, you have also another thing that I have 482 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: a theory about, and this might sound funny, is along 483 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: with not being literate. You know what I'm saying, is 484 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: like the drugs are different. The things that they are 485 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: ingesting and the things that they are hearing. We don't 486 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: get it because we're not on that. You know what 487 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying. We can't. Like the most we have was 488 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 1: like beer weed. If you have some money, you can 489 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: get a couple of bottles. Yeah, if you had Hennessyne, nigga, 490 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: you rich. You know what I'm saying. You know we was, 491 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: but now it's there's a cocktail of prescription drugs like 492 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: cocaine was like here and there back in the day. 493 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: But I sell you something before I do it, you 494 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like we was on that. You know, 495 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: I've actually had that thought when I'm hearing like these yeah, 496 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, I'm wondering if they're hearing something it 497 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: is completely different. Something here my clean brain is hearing. Yeah. No, 498 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: there's something about what they are ingesting that is totally 499 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: different from when we came up. Therefore, they are entertained 500 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: by things that are working with what they have going on. 501 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: So repetitiveness, you know, very low minibal taking off train 502 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: of thought. They want to stay in that lane. Have 503 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: you ever been to any of those big festivals where 504 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: rapid not rapes even but you're talking like I'm talking, 505 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, those festivals that have multiple acts on them 506 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: and stuff, and you see the crowd in the audience 507 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: that what you're saying makes complete sense because they're on 508 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: the same stuff and that's why it's it's resonating with that. 509 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: Now now it was out of these earbuds and that 510 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: was loud, and now you can see that the uniform 511 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: of what's been going on, and was why everybody's trying 512 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: to sound like the same things because it's hitting something 513 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: that we as you know, consumers of hip hop and 514 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: curators and creators. Yeah, it makes sense because when DJ 515 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: Screw was doing those mixtapes in Texas, everybody was on 516 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: lean so their brain was going slow, so the Screw 517 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: tapes sounded at the right speed to them. I still 518 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: like it screw. I don't even funk with that type 519 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: of ship, but I like I should do a screw 520 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: session on my radio show and slow down ship, like 521 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 1: like before I let go by Frankie Beverley's so wicked. 522 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: I thought I thought that was creative. I'm gonna be honest, 523 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: but I didn't think. I mean ship drugs was going 524 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: on back Jimmy Marston and the motherfucker's on some crazy ship. 525 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: They were on acid and all that stuff. But at 526 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: the end of the they with hip hop, there's a 527 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: thing about timing delivery, as mcs, if you're not built 528 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: for that ship to to to really take those drugs 529 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: and stick to the script, and it's just it's a 530 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: waste because you can't you can't walk in a vocal booth. 531 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: And how many motherfucker's you shot, how many women you have? 532 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: None of that ship matters if your bars is whacked. 533 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: And a lot of people forgot about that. They forgot 534 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: about that. Spitting is about spitting, you know what I'm saying. 535 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: And and I mean there's a lot of mcs that 536 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: smoked that, but they still seem to make sure that 537 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: that personality comes across there's certain people that just don't 538 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: belong in a vocal booth and they just don't that. 539 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: That means just two types of hip hop though, right, 540 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: because there's the hip hop where the traditional like rappers wrap, 541 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: there's hip hop and there's rap music. Right, that's my 542 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: whole point. So, like when you're talking about you're talking 543 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: about guys that actually have pen game and they wrap 544 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: and they they they work on their craft. Right, But 545 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: what's what's become popular as far as hip hop is 546 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: concerned right now? It has nothing to do with bars. 547 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: There's no bars, right, So there's two different things. There's 548 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: a disconnect. And so again what you're saying it only 549 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: it only applies to a certain type of rapper who's 550 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, arguably an MC. Not everybody is an MC, right, 551 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: Like you you see you watch some of these videos 552 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: where guys go to radio stations and they're supposed to freestyle. 553 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: There's dudes that they can't do it right, They can't 554 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, what if what do Sway? Sway has the 555 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: place five different beats and you're supposed to wrap on 556 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: all five beats and guys that can never do that 557 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: don't mean that you whack though, so some people just 558 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: are not good freestyles, but they know how to make 559 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: good songs. That don't mean that you whack because you 560 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: can't just jump into a freestyle. That just means that 561 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: that's not your forte. But there's some guys who know 562 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: how to sit down and just carve out versus that 563 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: you know, do that. Some dudes don't like spit freestyle 564 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: because it go like people always hit this argument about 565 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: freestyle or freestyle is not written, well, I came up 566 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: a freestyle is what you remember, yeah, in your rhym 567 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: So if the dude had a pre written rhyme in 568 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: his head and he said it and nobody never heard it, 569 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: and it was over a beat like a break beat 570 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: or something, and it was something that's considered a freestyle. 571 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: So the best, the best videos of the dudes who 572 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: had written bars right, and obviously if they added add 573 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: a couple of joints off the top of the head, cool, 574 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: But the ones it's like you listen to hear the 575 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: with the punch lines, the creativity and and there's not 576 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people even if you look at some 577 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: of the best you know freestyle, I can't even remember 578 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: their names now, but you know, the dudes that would 579 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: be at new Music seminar, in the battles or whatever. Yes, 580 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: there you go. Those guys, those guys who do you know, 581 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: pick something out of the crowd and show it to 582 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: me and around. That's that's a special skill. That's a 583 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: special skill. But there's but those guys could never make records. 584 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: You ever noticed that, Yeah, a lot of them can't. 585 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: But look at the legend Bis Marquis. One of the 586 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: best performers I've ever seen live is Biz because Biz 587 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: were Bis. And it's like he could take the simplest 588 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: thing and make it funky and and and he didn't 589 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: say a bunch of lyrical stuff, but he says stuff like, 590 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: like you said, you come up. We come up off 591 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: of guys like Starsky, Busy Beat Starsky and all of 592 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: these guys that weren't considers what they considered today as 593 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: a lyricist, but they rocked the party so crazy. So 594 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 1: people keep forgetting about all these different elements of what 595 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: mcs do. So just because a person can't freestyle and 596 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: embody it off as what they say, like like what 597 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: Supernatural does is incredibly talent. He's a that's a talent. 598 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: And whether he can make records or not. Never mattered 599 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: to me because I look at that's like, that's like 600 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: beat boxes. Guys who beat box, you know they there's 601 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: a handful of beat boxes out there that we know, 602 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: but there's a probably a hundred thousand of the motherfucker's 603 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: around the world that we don't know. So just because 604 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: you don't know, you know, Kenny Mohammed and all these dudes, 605 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: those guys are incredibly talented. Nice is another one right now, 606 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: another one, you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, I mean, 607 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: look at look at all of these look at all 608 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: of these different types of town. I was working on 609 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: the album. Yeah, you're going to hill when you when 610 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: you have a skill set that nobody else could do 611 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: but you. That keeps you around, keep you. If everybody 612 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: could do what you could do, then you ain't really 613 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: value which is why I say everybody shouldn't be jumping 614 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: on records with just any and everybody. A lot of 615 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: cats feel like you know, I'm I'm I'm in the 616 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: hip hop culture. Yo. Something do to say? Yo?

We 628 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: did that back in the days to get on like 629 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: we would go to the Molly Mall would be DJ 630 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: and bls and go off there freestyle. That was always 631 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: the thing. A prerequisite for being nice is go to 632 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: radio station, get on, freestyle live on the show or 633 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: spit live. But now it's it's it's to me, it's 634 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: like now that this record making thing is in play, 635 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: and making a record that comes into it or making 636 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: the salt. People want to make songs. A lot of 637 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: cats don't understand there's a method to songwriting. There's a 638 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: there's a certain technique to writing a song that you 639 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: know that that hook that brings you back to the 640 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: same part. They don't think about that you know, it's 641 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: it's just it's it's certain skills that you have to have, 642 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: just like a DJ. You know, there's people who got 643 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: turntables and all that ship. Like I'm still trying to 644 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: learn how to crab scratch. I'm getting better. I'm getting better, 645 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,959 Speaker 1: getting better at it, you know what I'm saying. But 646 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: I know how to blend and I know how to 647 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: do it. But there's certain things you just want to 648 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: know as a DJ, because it's just it's just what 649 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: they do, you know. I also believe that there's certain 650 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: things that individuals just have that other people just don't, 651 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I compared comparing it to 652 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: a comedy. I hear people people refer to us as 653 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: comics or comedians, and I heard Bob new Heart on 654 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: a podcast saying I'm not a comic, I'm a comedian. 655 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: And the guy running this pod said, well, what's the difference. 656 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: He says, A comic as a person who says funny things, 657 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: but a comedian is a person who says things funny. 658 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: It's different. Anybody can say funny things, ship fart, you 659 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: know what I mean. But then there's your personality. There's 660 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: the thing that you that you have that you can't 661 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: teach someone else to do. That's the comedian that just 662 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: says things funny. And I think it's the same thing 663 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: with hip hop, and I think it's like that about 664 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: about rappers. There's people that know how to put the 665 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: words there, but they don't know how to deliver it. 666 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:45,719 Speaker 1: They don't know how to you know what I mean, 667 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: They don't know how to deliver that they think they 668 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: deliver in it, but they're not really delivering it. Like 669 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: I can't tell how many times I've said, you know, 670 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: this isn't for everyone, okay, just because the Internet makes 671 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: it look like it is, It isn't, you know. But 672 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: that's that's part of the problem now. And I don't know, 673 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: have problems the right word, but there's so many doors 674 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: now that people like that, in my opinion, aren't for funny. 675 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: Are blowing up because they have a YouTube presence or 676 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: they have a TikTok presence, and they just have a presence. 677 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: As you probably know from listening to the show. Music 678 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: is a huge part of my life and whenever I 679 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: need to hype myself up before doing a DJ set 680 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: or comedy show, I know exactly what to listen to 681 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: to make that happen. It depends on my mood. Really. 682 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: It might be Victory by Puff Daddy and the Family, 683 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 1: which is really just a biggie song, or it might 684 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: be a Broken Language by Smooth the Hustler, which is 685 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 1: a song that kind of defines my whole brain set. 686 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: Whatever it is, I've got the right music and I 687 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: just need the earbuds that deliver it well when I'm 688 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: out and about.

And now comedy clubs were forcing getting 721 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: forced into selling tickets because they're putting butts in the 722 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: seats because at the comedy clubs are restaurants with a 723 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,240 Speaker 1: with a show, and so these guys were selling seats. 724 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,439 Speaker 1: But what happened is that this this kid goes on stage. 725 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 1: He's supposed to do an hour. He talked for about 726 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: ten minutes and then the rest of his hour was 727 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: a line of meet and greet and picture taking. That 728 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: was the shop, just just being like you were saying earlier, 729 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: it was all about just being Luka. I mean, I 730 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: can't take how many shows I've been on with somebody 731 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: that's more famous than me and that people will come 732 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,760 Speaker 1: up to me and go, man, you were so funny. 733 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 1: That was the best of her. I'm gonna go get 734 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 1: a picture with the other guy though, because he's famous. 735 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 1: You know.

I didn't know who the funk 739 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: he was. And I'm already fucking this. I'm already doing 740 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: arenas I've been doing arenas like for a long time 741 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: at that time, and I'm hosting because I liked the host. 742 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: I was like the freestyle and just funk around and 743 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: this I go to. I go to this kid, ago, 744 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: what do you want me to say about you? You 745 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: can tell me.

And then I went back 750 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: up and I said, give it up for whatever that 751 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: kid's name, whatever there was listening, give it up him. 752 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: Apparently it's only funny for six seconds at a time. 753 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: It's a difference between somebody who does this and somebody 754 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: who thinks they do. So you don't think you don't 755 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 1: think it's a good idea that people have more to 756 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: choose from that I think it's I don't. I don't know. 757 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: It's good. It's good that you have more to choose from. 758 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: But then you can't automatically think you're gonna go on 759 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: stage and do this again.

But the influence that you get from 817 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: the the predecessors or the guys that came before you 818 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,879 Speaker 1: rather than the guys that were they're doing it, You're 819 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: gonna get influenced from that. But you gotta add your 820 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: own ship and then you can. It's okay to do that, 821 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: but when you see the copycat ship, all across the 822 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: board and everything starts to sound like like a monotone 823 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: all the way through. Everything is the same flow, same delivery. 824 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: That's when I think it kills the game. And then 825 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 1: those guys get money. I think a lot of other cash. 826 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: I feel like, damn, I broke my neck to be 827 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 1: original and then this is what works, and that's what 828 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: that's what forces them into that length you said with 829 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 1: the originality, I think I'm a big fan of that. 830 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 1: Like whether you older, whether you knew, I'm just looking 831 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: for something that's different, that's mind blowing out. Really that 832 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 1: really took thought, Like, um, just seeing something on BT Awards. 833 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: I don't even watch the BAT Awards. Somebody posted the 834 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: clip and it was just one dude that was performing. 835 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: Looked like he was robbing in the storm and it 836 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: was windy and it was blowing them back. Oh man, 837 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: that ship. I looked at that ship like, goddamn, this 838 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: ship has flopped. I ain't know what I was watching, 839 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: but just the artistic part of it made me go 840 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: there because yeah, it was it was he sampled some 841 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: old record. But that's what I'm telling I don't know 842 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 1: who this dude is at the time. I'm just listening 843 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: to the song and I'm listening to the grap fixing 844 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,839 Speaker 1: the performance, and it grabbed me to make me go, man, 845 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: i gotta find out who this person is because it 846 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: was incredible. It ain't it wasn't the regular Hey we 847 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: got bitches, It wasn't none of that. It was just 848 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 1: just dude that was rhyming and it was windy, and 849 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: that ship was that ship just had me funked up, 850 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,959 Speaker 1: like right right there is like, Okay, we we got 851 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: some some something incredible going on. Hopefully somebody else go, 852 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,720 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna do something crazy like that too, 853 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: or somewhat like that, but I'm gonna take it to 854 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: another level. But we also came from an era where, 855 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, the rappers that got 856 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: to the top, they all sounded different, right like you 857 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: could you could you could put on a mixtape or whatever, 858 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: or even an album. One person's album songs all sounded different. 859 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: I went to a concert with my daughter like four 860 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 1: or five years and I'm not gonna say the artist, 861 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 1: and I'm you know, I'm not a fan of that artist. 862 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,840 Speaker 1: This was out at an outdoor giant park. It was 863 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: probably six or seventh. I was in fans they're loving 864 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: this person, and I was there, you know, with my daughter, 865 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 1: and for an hour and a half or however long 866 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,359 Speaker 1: it was, it sounded like I was listening to one 867 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: song and and that you know, in their defense, I'm 868 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: not a fan. So clearly, if you're a fan, clearly 869 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: you must be able to tell the difference between your 870 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: song and song. But I mean again, we came from 871 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 1: an era where when you put on BIG's album, the 872 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: one song doesn't sound like next song doesn't sound even 873 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: if they used the same sample in some of them, 874 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,359 Speaker 1: like I mean, on you know whatever, it doesn't sound 875 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: the same. But now artists all sound the same. The 876 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: beats all sound the same, and he sounded the same 877 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: in the park with the DJ was playing breakbeats, so 878 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of different break beats that casts 879 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: wrapped over, love wraps action fucking uh, you know what 880 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: I mean, Tiski Valley was a lot of those break 881 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: beats were the same, and casts were just doing different 882 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,760 Speaker 1: routines over or wraps segments over those breaks. The plethora 883 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: of originality, originality, but don't forget it does that all 884 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 1: the time. And one rhythm and then that's it. Everybody 885 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 1: tan artists will do a song over and each song 886 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: was good. Yeah, but don't forget you got to think 887 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 1: about to one thing we were quick, is that culture 888 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 1: in different cities, Like what's going on in the South, 889 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: ain't going on New York. It wasn't that way, What's 890 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: going on on the West Coast, wasn't going on on 891 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: the East Coast, was going on in the Midwest, And 892 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 1: then or even in the Bay everything was different. Hip 893 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: hop was different from every place. And then when it 894 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: all got migrated to the middle of the of the world, 895 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,359 Speaker 1: it all started to sound like one sound or the 896 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 1: world shrunk with the birth of the internet everything. That's 897 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: what I was gonna ask when we were younger, we 898 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: had to go find things. Now with those six thousand 899 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,880 Speaker 1: fans that were in that audience there, it's just it's 900 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: getting getting fed to them on a constantly fed to 901 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: them on internet, on TikTok. I mean, it's just what 902 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,439 Speaker 1: they're given. So they just go uh and I feel 903 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: like they're just mindless drones now, And it goes back 904 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: to the originality. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just what they're 905 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: it's what they're fed and that's that's more or less 906 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: what it feels like now because I have how old 907 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 1: is your kids? How old are they? Well back then 908 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: you mean or now now to my kids, I have 909 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: a twenty six year old and a thirty one year old, 910 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 1: so they're still they still listen to like music. And 911 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: then my you know, my brother's daughters who are younger. 912 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,720 Speaker 1: It's just like it's just what they're fed. It's different 913 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: and they don't have to there's no record shop like 914 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 1: at every corner there. They just wait for the internet 915 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 1: to hand it to him and then they go, Okay, 916 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 1: this is what we like, you know what I mean? 917 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: And like being on a magazine cover was a big deal, 918 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 1: like a physical magazine. We're from the physical era. Yeah, well, 919 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: people don't even know what like album credits are, right 920 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: because you don't get we don't You don't know who 921 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 1: did it. What we used to actually read love reading 922 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: the liner notes and learned people who wrote, you know, 923 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: freaking a new cool giograph name was Nathaniel because of 924 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 1: the credits, you know what I mean. Like I only 925 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: find out exhibits name when he texted me.

I think, um, people don't understand how 930 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 1: like we're talking about credits, how important that is. And 931 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: I think without credits, you don't took money out of 932 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: so many people mouths because they live by those credits. 933 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,240 Speaker 1: You can't get those credits with streaming, you know. So 934 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 1: when you look at the credits, you see the engineer, 935 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: you see the studio they use, might have seen some 936 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,320 Speaker 1: of the writers or musicians that were down with the song. 937 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 1: It was so many aspects where it got master that 938 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: so when you're doing streaming, you just wiped out all 939 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: those people. So how do those people continue to get work? 940 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 1: They just know the artists, and they might know the 941 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 1: producer if the artist screamed his name, and but now 942 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 1: he in the shout out errors like we want to 943 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: think my man who brought the hendy, and had he 944 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: may brought the wings, had he may just record from two. 945 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 1: That's how they do that. Everybody just gets shouted out, 946 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 1: and it's just I want to thank for the mashed potatoes. 947 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,319 Speaker 1: I hate it's making me feel old now though, because 948 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 1: I'm the guy going all yeah, but that you know 949 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: what I do embrace variety. I think varieties are great thing. 950 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: I don't think everybody should make records like I make records. 951 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad that everybody don't make records like I make records. 952 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: But here's something people may not know about you.

I 981 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,799 Speaker 1: guess I don't know. Everybody wants to and I don't 982 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 1: give a funk. It's just I'm still happy that Herbie 983 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 1: and I'm giving the credit to Herbie because Herbie was 984 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 1: the one who said, go get Fox. I lived right 985 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: around the corner from him in East Elmhurst, and he 986 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: said he sent Pepper around the corner to go knock 987 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: on fox door, tell Fox I need to talk to him, 988 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 1: and he gave me a cassette tape with five or 989 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,359 Speaker 1: six beats on it, and I wrote I wrote them 990 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: ships in one night overnight, and I went back the 991 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,480 Speaker 1: next day or the day after and I and I 992 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 1: and I gave them the tape and then they took 993 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,320 Speaker 1: it and I got it back. Actually, so I demoed. 994 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 1: I actually demoed the verse for them, like I went 995 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 1: in and said the rhyme the way it should be said. Yeah, 996 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: I demoed it, and then I let the would love 997 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 1: to hear the demo of you singing one n f 998 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 1: T right there, somebody's that's an n f T.

He apparently wrote everything in the early days, 1002 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 1: Like on the first record is brother Herbie Steve and 1003 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 1: it was a couple of last something. I think I think, 1004 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,720 Speaker 1: I think, I think they wrote. I think Salton Pepper 1005 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,160 Speaker 1: did write certain things, but not not as much as 1006 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 1: everybody else. You know, Herbie, Herbie was a Herbie and 1007 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,439 Speaker 1: his brother would write a lot. They were to play stuff. Yeah, 1008 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 1: I don't know about the kid to play stuff. I 1009 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:35,400 Speaker 1: never heard. I never heard that. I don't. I don't know. 1010 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,359 Speaker 1: I've never I've never known anybody to write for kid 1011 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 1: in play. I never knew that Herbie was is still 1012 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't. I don't know if he still is, but 1013 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 1: I know he was always very creative with ship like that. 1014 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 1: When Herbie moved to Haiti now oh Miami and something 1015 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: like that, I don't know where all the Haitians are 1016 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 1: shout out to Herbie love bug man herbisation right. Yeah. 1017 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: The mistake I made with music when I was grown, 1018 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: when I got like, I closed my mind to a 1019 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: bunch of their stuff, and I don't think that's healthy either. 1020 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: Just na non. I think it should be a trade 1021 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 1: off between the I think wisdom and strength is the 1022 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 1: trade off, because the older you get into business like this, 1023 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: you gain wisdom, and a lot of these young cats 1024 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,360 Speaker 1: need that wisdom from us, and a lot of times 1025 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,440 Speaker 1: when they come up to us. Back when we was 1026 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: a lot of cats was popping. I wasn't one that 1027 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:23,360 Speaker 1: really did that a lot, but there's a lot of 1028 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: dudes who just shut them young cats down, like they 1029 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: didn't try to show them anything. And then when their 1030 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,120 Speaker 1: sound became popular, they got mad because these casts started 1031 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 1: get money and started being popular, and the old dudes 1032 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 1: was shutting the door on them. So it's a lot 1033 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,800 Speaker 1: of you know, new artists that's big now that tried 1034 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 1: to come through that that passageway and then got the 1035 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 1: door slamed in their face. So in their defense, you know, 1036 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 1: when people, you know, look at me, I don't. I'm 1037 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,799 Speaker 1: gonna be honest, I don't. I wasn't treated like, you know, 1038 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 1: like no great m C in the beginning. I'man But 1039 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: dudes for my I looked up to they wouldn't even 1040 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:00,799 Speaker 1: shake our hands. They would look one a us like man, 1041 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:07,680 Speaker 1: funk out of here. You know, Damn, I'm a fan, alright, 1042 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 1: be a fan over there while I go get this 1043 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: motherfucker wreck. So, you know. And then but you know, 1044 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: to me, I didn't take offense to that because they 1045 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,839 Speaker 1: didn't just hand it to us. You know what I'm saying. 1046 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 1: You gotta love the You gotta love the motherfucker who 1047 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,919 Speaker 1: tell you, man, listen, get it on your own. Yes, 1048 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 1: And then you got those years under your belt, and 1049 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 1: it means so much more. You got these guys in 1050 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,320 Speaker 1: comedy that are doing theaters now and they've been in 1051 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 1: the game for three years it's a trip. And that's 1052 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 1: where the old head hand, that guy I'm trying to fix. 1053 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 1: That she was comedy is different because I'm not. I 1054 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 1: don't really hate on the younger comics do the same 1055 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 1: way I hate on music because music is so personal 1056 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 1: to me. I don't know if it's necessarily the younger comics. 1057 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I was hating the process, how it was changing. 1058 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but she was comedy funny enough. I accepted 1059 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,839 Speaker 1: the change. See that's important. That's what I was gonna say. 1060 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 1: It's comedy for me. It was like, Okay, I get it. 1061 00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 1: There's a shortcut now. I would and I look at it. 1062 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 1: If I was starting now, I take the shortcut too. 1063 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,320 Speaker 1: But I didn't, and I'm glad I didn't. Within the 1064 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 1: last year, That's where I'm at now. It took him 1065 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 1: in it, and I'm like, okay, I'll put some comedy 1066 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 1: on TikTok. There is one fundamental thing that remains the same. 1067 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 1: Longevity is the key. Longevity. Now, whether you can take 1068 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,439 Speaker 1: your time and take a short cut and get there, 1069 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 1: it's long. How long can you stay there? And Dre 1070 00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 1: says something to me all the time, He's like, you know, 1071 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,399 Speaker 1: it's easy to make money, it's hard to keep it right. 1072 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: So so what I'm saying is wife about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1073 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: you turn over? Yeah he got that, you turn that turnover. 1074 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 1: The turnover in music is so fast now, Like like 1075 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 1: if you look at you know, from the time period 1076 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 1: and you know, the early the late seventies, early eighties 1077 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 1: into the two thousand's, the was considered the golden era 1078 00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,520 Speaker 1: Hip Hong. Those people and those names and those legacies 1079 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 1: are still in place. Um, it's hard to get past 1080 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 1: them because in order to tell the story of now, 1081 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,840 Speaker 1: you have to tell the story of then, right, And 1082 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: so when you see them now, like I can't tell 1083 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 1: you where uh the nigga who did the walk It 1084 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:18,719 Speaker 1: Out walk It Out? I arguably where is that guy? 1085 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, because yeah, yeah yeah. And 1086 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,279 Speaker 1: then and then there's so many more of them that 1087 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,319 Speaker 1: you know, like like like stay in the limelight. But 1088 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 1: they're not there for music. They're not there for hit records. 1089 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 1: They're there for this persona or this attention that they 1090 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,120 Speaker 1: can they can bring to them. And if they do 1091 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,319 Speaker 1: something crazy or go after somebody or have some kind 1092 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 1: of train wreck on fucking social media or it's anything 1093 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 1: and everything except what they're supposed to be good at, 1094 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 1: which is the music, you know, right, But but my 1095 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 1: thing is where is there? Because I always felt like, Okay, 1096 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,440 Speaker 1: if you didn't start, if you started rapping and was 1097 00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,720 Speaker 1: sleeping on the corner in an old throwing away sleeping 1098 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,560 Speaker 1: bad and and a bunch of cans was your pillow case. 1099 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 1: And now you own a house, you're there. Where's there? 1100 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 1: So where's there? For the motherfucker who was raising a 1101 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,080 Speaker 1: house thinks he can rhyme, and now he just don't 1102 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 1: live in a house. He has a house and a 1103 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,359 Speaker 1: rental property. So we don't never know where there is. 1104 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 1: So I detached myself away from making it to some 1105 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 1: specific point of success and just know that I'm I'm 1106 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,279 Speaker 1: I'm okay, you know what I'm saying. I'm all right, 1107 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm not asking nobody for ship. I'm just I'm in. 1108 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 1: I built me a studio, I can That's where I 1109 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:31,840 Speaker 1: looked at it that I don't like. I don't know 1110 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,759 Speaker 1: if I look at success as making it to a 1111 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 1: certain point and then you can stand on this big 1112 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,840 Speaker 1: mountain and go, oh, I made it. I've wrapped my 1113 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:48,960 Speaker 1: way to the top, Like like, I like, people got 1114 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 1: these Mount Rushmore's and ship and all this top five, 1115 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 1: this the top. I hate that ship because I don't 1116 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: think it's I don't I think that ship is more 1117 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,319 Speaker 1: detrimental than anything else because you kind of once you 1118 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:04,319 Speaker 1: put somebody on the pedestal, then they they feel like 1119 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,719 Speaker 1: they need to try to keep up with that ship, 1120 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,279 Speaker 1: and then they forget about. You know, there's guys that 1121 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 1: I reached out to that I come up within the 1122 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,880 Speaker 1: game that feel like, you know, they oh, man, Fox, 1123 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to be the old 1124 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 1: guy in the room, you are the old motherfucker in 1125 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 1: the room. But when you talk abou when you're talking 1126 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,120 Speaker 1: about these about Mount Rushmore's, it's not the artist putting 1127 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 1: or the producers putting themselves on there. It's the fan base, right, 1128 00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 1: So it's like sometimes it's the artist though, well then 1129 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 1: they got the problem, right, then that's that's their own thing. Right. 1130 00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 1: So if I'm saying here, these are my top four 1131 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 1: producers in my lifetime that I consider to be the 1132 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 1: greatest or whatever, that's me and I don't speaking from 1133 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 1: a fan perspective, and I'm not and I'm not saying 1134 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: that you know producer x y Z has two lived 1135 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,960 Speaker 1: up to that standard because his track record or her 1136 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 1: track record already speaks for itself, and that's why they 1137 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 1: are my greatest. But I never I never believed in 1138 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 1: and kissing your own ass hurt your back so right, 1139 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: So because it's like, yo, it's like let me I never. 1140 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,680 Speaker 1: I never say to myself I'm a great m C. 1141 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm the best, I'm the dopest. I mean, in a lyric, 1142 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 1: maybe you could say that, but you never hear me. 1143 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 1: I never do it because I can show you better. 1144 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,280 Speaker 1: I can tell you. Just put me on the song 1145 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:28,280 Speaker 1: with anybody, and I guarantee you you'll say two things. 1146 00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 1: My greatest accomplishment ever is when people have said, oh 1147 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 1: my god, Bump killed it. My worst was Bumpy always 1148 00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 1: kills it. I think I don't all that Rushmore ship. 1149 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: That ship has trashed to me, because to do amount Rushmore, 1150 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:50,800 Speaker 1: it depends on how far somebody knowledge of the actual 1151 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,160 Speaker 1: culture goes back, because if you won't, if you're born 1152 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 1: in the nineties, then you ain't gonna really know much 1153 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,440 Speaker 1: about the eighties. If you born in the two thousands, 1154 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 1: you're not gonna know about the nineties. So ya, your 1155 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:09,080 Speaker 1: mon rushmore is based on one your opinion, but most 1156 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,640 Speaker 1: of all your knowledge. But but that's what it is though, 1157 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,919 Speaker 1: that that's why it comes from the fast. I don't 1158 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,520 Speaker 1: like it. I call it critics with no credentials because 1159 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,440 Speaker 1: you got all these critics talking about who's number one, 1160 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,480 Speaker 1: who's number two, and most of these motherfucker's ain't even 1161 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,800 Speaker 1: in the craft, you know. So when I'm looking at 1162 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 1: these lists of these people, all these so called journalists 1163 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:37,480 Speaker 1: making these lists, I think they, yeah, yeah, they do it, 1164 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 1: and they're gonna see how many rappers gonna jump in, 1165 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 1: and they don't hit the clickbait but button that isn't 1166 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 1: that with anything? Like when you think about let's let's 1167 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 1: use sports for an example, and they, uh, they get 1168 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,760 Speaker 1: the journalists to rate and vote for who should be 1169 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:55,840 Speaker 1: m v P of the Season or whatever, and then 1170 00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,439 Speaker 1: there's the peer version where the all the players say 1171 00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,200 Speaker 1: who they're m v P is it? There's a I 1172 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,680 Speaker 1: think it should be, and then there's fans who are like, 1173 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 1: I think it should be the actual people that's doing 1174 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:12,160 Speaker 1: it that make this list versus fucking journalists. Because any 1175 01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,880 Speaker 1: artist that's great ship, I know. I feel like motherfucking 1176 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,680 Speaker 1: Samuel Jackson and Fresh you know, this nigga is the 1177 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 1: king of this, and Checkers and this is the king 1178 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,160 Speaker 1: of this and then put that motherfucking clock on. I 1179 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 1: tell all these niggas up. And that's just how I feel. 1180 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: You're supposed to feel like You're supposed to feel like that. 1181 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Rappers have always the whole game about rapping is that 1182 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 1: you're the nicest, right so you're supposed to. But I 1183 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 1: just don't there's whack dudes that think they're nice. I 1184 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 1: just think all that journalists the top fifty, rappers the 1185 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,240 Speaker 1: top because to me, I don't ever want to discredit 1186 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 1: my heroes. My heroes is like Komod and Mellie Mellon, 1187 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,960 Speaker 1: Grandmaster Kaz and and just because you don't know them 1188 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:58,280 Speaker 1: don't mean they don't exist. You know, without these people 1189 01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 1: that laid the blueprint, there wouldn't you know, people like me, 1190 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 1: and and without me, there wouldn't be a lot of 1191 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 1: other rappers, you know. So I just think when they 1192 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,600 Speaker 1: make these lists and they're looking over all these grades 1193 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,360 Speaker 1: just because they're not the sign of the times right now, 1194 01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, come on, slick rick l L. It's just 1195 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,200 Speaker 1: like when you're telling me the name top five. It's 1196 01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,280 Speaker 1: just that I know it's gonna be disrespectful to a 1197 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 1: lot of other my ros. I think that has to 1198 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 1: do more with what people don't know than what they 1199 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 1: do know. A lot of times, like you said, casts 1200 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 1: don't really know or either they listen. Everybody's entitled to 1201 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,000 Speaker 1: their favorite. And then what is it based on? Is 1202 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 1: it based on lyricism, is it based on some quotable ship, 1203 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 1: or is it based on you know, success. Now, it 1204 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,120 Speaker 1: shouldn't be a combo everything, because we're talking about a craft, 1205 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 1: we're not talking about an image. And people confused the 1206 01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: two they put them together. That emmy ship don't have 1207 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,640 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. The image should to get 1208 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 1: half these niggas destroyed because they'll come in, they pull 1209 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 1: up in their ship, or they have the biggest chains 1210 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 1: on whatever it is. You're gonna run into a nigger 1211 01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 1: just fresh out the fucking tenement. That's going just matter 1212 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,640 Speaker 1: on one of these dudes. Yeah, And I mean that's 1213 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 1: that's like basketball in the park, you know what I'm saying. 1214 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 1: There's always that one dude in the park that just 1215 01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 1: embarrasses the ship out of all even if with the 1216 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 1: park ship. I had this just analogy with the park ship, 1217 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:36,440 Speaker 1: like rap as a as a craft and you have 1218 01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,720 Speaker 1: to be nice at the craft in order to get 1219 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 1: on the court. Now, if you was a young kid 1220 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 1: and you had a basketball, you know, if that basketball 1221 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 1: rolled on the court too many times, things are gonna 1222 01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 1: throw that ship out in the streets. Something shot out 1223 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,919 Speaker 1: of here. Same thing. You want to get on the court, yo, man, 1224 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 1: I want to play this out turn Now, you couldn't 1225 01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,720 Speaker 1: just get on the court unless she was put on 1226 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:01,520 Speaker 1: the team or you was good enough to play. Once again, 1227 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 1: throw the ball over the over the fence till you 1228 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:06,840 Speaker 1: get the funk out of here. Shorty, you're gonna go 1229 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,280 Speaker 1: get your uncle. Your uncle gonna come down. You know 1230 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,880 Speaker 1: what happened. You know, we are having a game. He 1231 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,440 Speaker 1: want to play, he ain't ready to play. And then 1232 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna go come on, a little junior, let me 1233 01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,920 Speaker 1: get your ice cream. You know, let's go get your 1234 01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 1: cart and we're gonna go take you to an empty court. 1235 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 1: Like it's different now with wrap they're allowing these non 1236 01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 1: talented people to play. The game is everybody gets a 1237 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 1: trophy at the championship. You know, talk about this in 1238 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,640 Speaker 1: my new act. Right now that we're living and everybody 1239 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 1: gets a gold medal, I'm like, we're not. You can 1240 01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,080 Speaker 1: say we're all creative, but we're not fucking all created. 1241 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of these young cats 1242 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 1: just really want somebody to believe in it. But what 1243 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 1: they're not understanding is believing in you is one thing. 1244 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,400 Speaker 1: You giving me something to believe in. It's different. You 1245 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 1: have to you have to say to me, you listen, man, 1246 01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,040 Speaker 1: this is what I do. I'm a producer. If you 1247 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:03,440 Speaker 1: one guys don't, they'll send me fifty seven beats in 1248 01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:06,600 Speaker 1: separate emails. I'm like, nigga, you never heard of we 1249 01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 1: transfer or something different, Like I just need this. If 1250 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,760 Speaker 1: I can't hear something you're doing in three tracks, then 1251 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,240 Speaker 1: I think I kind of we could break it down, 1252 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 1: kind of got it. After that, let's say, and I 1253 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,200 Speaker 1: hate saying in our error because once we say that, 1254 01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,120 Speaker 1: that's all you're old. Once you say you're in our error. 1255 01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 1: But coming up when we were trying to get a deal, 1256 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 1: you had to do your mix, you had to do 1257 01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,600 Speaker 1: your your your you had to do your best three 1258 01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 1: to five songs on the cassette tape. Remember that you 1259 01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 1: shot that shift around and and those those songs took 1260 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 1: like could have been a couple of months, could have 1261 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 1: been a year until you felt you had the perfect 1262 01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:53,720 Speaker 1: something that was gonna get you this deal. Now got 1263 01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 1: a mix tape. Mix tape is twelve to a sixteen songs, 1264 01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 1: twelve to sixteen songs, twelve of the sixteen opportunities to 1265 01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 1: show the world you the absolutely nicest twelve the sixteen 1266 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:12,280 Speaker 1: songs on this one mixtape. You can't expect me to 1267 01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: respect you if you tell me you on your fourth 1268 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:19,320 Speaker 1: mixtape the funk out of here? Does that means you're 1269 01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 1: telling me you forty eight the sixty four songs and 1270 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 1: with no fucking buzz, You can't be serious. It is 1271 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:30,080 Speaker 1: easier to get a buzz now than it was when 1272 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:34,000 Speaker 1: the mixtapes changed from a mixtape to a album, because 1273 01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 1: mixtapes were just DJ mixtapes back and then started selling 1274 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 1: them when DJ stopped letting the part the two second 1275 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:46,200 Speaker 1: pars between records. Play it no but album a mix tape. 1276 01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,280 Speaker 1: It was a mixtape, and then these cats would make 1277 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 1: an album called a mixtape. But this is nothing mixed 1278 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 1: about this more than making money off of it. It was. 1279 01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,040 Speaker 1: It wasn't necessarily about the did become a word, but 1280 01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:00,280 Speaker 1: the production it became. It became something that was, Yo, 1281 01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,720 Speaker 1: I'm making money off this. And again I don't know 1282 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 1: all the legalities, but I think a lot of it 1283 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 1: had to do with they weren't clearing samples, and they 1284 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,920 Speaker 1: weren't they weren't paying the producers or whatever. So they 1285 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:15,160 Speaker 1: just put the ship out for free, and they put 1286 01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:18,200 Speaker 1: out for free. Their motherfucker's changed. That ship was going 1287 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 1: out for free with other people's music on it. But 1288 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 1: when they started making money off of it, yeah, I 1289 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,439 Speaker 1: mean money off this. It's a trick to the whole thing. 1290 01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,520 Speaker 1: They'll put it out free on one platform and sell 1291 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:35,400 Speaker 1: it on about five other different platforms, whether the iTunes, 1292 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:40,919 Speaker 1: whether it be physical product, but they'll put the illusion that, yeah, 1293 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,600 Speaker 1: I gave it away for free on one platform. You're 1294 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 1: not continuing the center, but you're selling it. It's published 1295 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,880 Speaker 1: in iTunes. I mean on ascat b M, I you 1296 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 1: performing a song, you're making money, but in order to 1297 01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:03,720 Speaker 1: escape the the criticism, you're gonna say you gave it 1298 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,120 Speaker 1: away for free, and nobody does research gave it away 1299 01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,280 Speaker 1: for free on one platform, but you sold it at 1300 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:14,400 Speaker 1: your shows, it is registered and bm I or ASCA. 1301 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,280 Speaker 1: You're making money like a motherfucker. But you're given the 1302 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 1: world like, what what's wrong? He what's wrong? If you 1303 01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 1: gave it away for free? No, you didn't give it 1304 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:29,280 Speaker 1: away for free. And it's a trick to that, you know, 1305 01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:32,440 Speaker 1: whether clearing samples are taking songs that you don't own 1306 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,600 Speaker 1: and you're doing songs. If I come in your supermarket 1307 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:40,000 Speaker 1: and I steal some steak and I give it away 1308 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,479 Speaker 1: for free in front of your supermarket, are you cool 1309 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:47,640 Speaker 1: with that or is it still stolen? See that's what 1310 01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:54,400 Speaker 1: people don't get. And I'm talking from a state of experience, 1311 01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,640 Speaker 1: you know. But I think a lot of cats don't understand. 1312 01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: They want to make money so oh bad and in 1313 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:05,160 Speaker 1: so many aspects. Everybody got a way to make money, 1314 01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 1: but you never included in the cut your next You 1315 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,040 Speaker 1: still do beats? Yeah, I still do beats. You'll throw 1316 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,800 Speaker 1: me some of them beats, Nigga, I'm not giving you 1317 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:22,000 Speaker 1: no ship or it's no risk factor to it. So 1318 01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,200 Speaker 1: if you give me some beats after I put my 1319 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 1: project out, if it do well, I'll give you money 1320 01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 1: on the back end. No, motherfucker. I'm working now and 1321 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 1: I want to get paid now. You figure out that 1322 01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,920 Speaker 1: backing ship. And that's what I think a big problem 1323 01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: is is that people don't understand the value of doing 1324 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,320 Speaker 1: good music because it's no risk takers. It's not you 1325 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:50,240 Speaker 1: paying for studio time no more. You're not paying for producers. 1326 01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,719 Speaker 1: So if you put out a project that ship don't sell, 1327 01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 1: you know what, guess what, I'll do another one, and 1328 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 1: I'll do another one, and yeah, you're on your fourth 1329 01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:02,479 Speaker 1: fixed fifth mix hate with no buzz. We's still thinking like, yo, 1330 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:06,920 Speaker 1: niggas need to check me out. They're not alcoholic beer.
