WEBVTT - Conversations About Kanye 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.160 And now we have this on slaughter fucking like Kanye 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:09.239 himself is fucking great, just greatness. But diet Kanye, all 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:13.280 the diet Kanye, that's just sucks. You feel me like 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.599 Kanye is not as strong enough drink to have diet 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.560 versions of it. Just that beverage itself is fucking awesome, 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:24.920 because but all this diet Kanye, bro, it's it's not 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:29.560 that fucking good. It's not that Paul. Are you telling 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:34.880 me that you're not as impressed maybe as other people are, 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.520 that Kanye was able to bring us the same Chicago 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:44.600 that Eddie Winslow brought us five years earlier? Exactly? Okay, 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.240 so now tell me what the funk had is that? Again? 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.279 I have taken off and look, you don't you just 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.160 how did you get the hat to? You don't know 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.840 what had it is? I just saw it on the internet. 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.639 I saw I was like, I could use another hat. 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.640 And I just happen to see randomly like an ad 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:04.759 and I was like, oh, those are kind of cool. 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.440 Has to look at their website and I was like, oh, 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:10.840 grab that one. So you're like an impost buyer. I'm 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.119 not an impulse buyer, but sometimes if I see something 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:20.039 that I know that I do like that, I that 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.600 I'm not gonna probably see again by accident, and I'll 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.720 grab it. But I'm the purchase like that today too. 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.440 Once you get I bought Kanye Steam Player for two 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.560 hundred dollars. How's it working out for you so far? 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.679 It hasn't came yet. It is, Oh, it's a hardware device. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.160 It has to be a hardware device. They asked me 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.160 for my address, so I would imagine for sure it's 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.920 a hardware device. And it was two hundred dollars, so 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.800 I would hope it's a hardware device. It better be 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:55.680 a hard I would never thought that. That's that's very interesting. 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.160 So what I would like to imagine it like is 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.760 it's like, um, like a beach peel mixed with a 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:07.240 physical Alexa dot the echo dot. I think it's something 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:12.400 like that. And the rumor is that it's called a 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.200 steam player because you could play certain parts of the song, 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.680 like you can ask for the high heights to be 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.560 removed or the vocals to be removed, or the kicks 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.440 to be removed. And if that's true, like that's gonna 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.919 be dope at ship. But I just obviously Yeah, it 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.880 is in my top five right now. I love you 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.960 to death. I think he's I'm not on the genius 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.600 train with everybody, but I think he's one of the 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:44.160 most extremely brilliant, you know, talents for sure of my lifetime. Um. 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.440 But the fact that he was able to sell me 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.480 on it, right. I read his post and his post 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.840 was talking about how artists only get twelve percent of 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:57.440 the revenue in today's business, and I just thought that 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.520 was ill. Right, I'm like, damn, that's true. And he 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.840 figured out a way to where people who funk with 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.000 him can have better access and there's another gadget. So 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:14.679 I was like, fucking yeah, um no seilings g L 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.520 my guy, Peter P. B Up in this sp is 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:25.359 not um yeah, so and he he just has his 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.880 way of doing this. I swear to God, I think, yeah, 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:33.840 be meaning so well, right, I think he means so well. Um. 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.160 But I think what happens is America happens to what 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.080 he does. And in America, the part of America that 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.280 you love and the part of America hate, which is 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:48.840 that extreme capitalist nature that I agree does drive innovation 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.720 to some degree, which humanity should do a much better 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:57.800 job of that. But you know, the the desire to 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:02.720 earn drives innovation, right, So yeah, is one of the 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.480 most innovative people I saw, you know, I've seen in 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.000 my lifetime. And it would drive me crazy to believe 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.800 that this is awful money. Like, and I think I'm 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.360 coming to the conclusion like I always knew Jay was 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.280 a capitalist as a drug do for me any d 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.679 boy as a capitalist? Uh? You know, I even found 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.880 myself and and that's why I think I told you 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.640 I regretted it. I found myself being a capitalist, you 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.080 know what I mean, and then talking myself out of 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.400 what actually was happening where I was like, oh well, 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:41.360 my excuse for daling drugs would always be like, well 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.280 they're gonna buy it from somebody, it might as well 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.120 be me, right, And that's the baseline generic. I used 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.240 to pride myself and having top quality drugs. Like when 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.840 I would sell PCP, I wouldn't cut with brake fluid 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.039 or or from out to high you know, um embombing fluid. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.880 I would cut with and drogs and all ether what 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.240 we call andy. Um. If I sold dope, it was 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.040 gonna be top quality dope. I wasn't overcutting the dope, 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:09.160 so I prided myself and having the best quality product. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.120 So that was my mid level excuse for the capitalism. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.679 My my top level, advanced excuse was they were making 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.359 a choice, right because I don't do any drugs. I 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:27.200 don't drink coffee, alcohol, smoked marijuana. I always felt people 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.960 were making a choice, just like I made a choice 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.520 not to do it. And obviously that's horribly wrong, But 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:39.240 at that time, you know, sixteen, fifteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.520 two year old glasses, twenty three year old glasses didn't 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.800 know better because I didn't partaket, so I don't I 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:49.400 didn't understand chemical addiction and how it worked. I realized 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.760 it around twenty four when a lady who was pregnant 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.640 came to buy some drugs and my silly ass sold 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.520 them tour But the whole rest of the afternoon I thought, like, 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.280 there's no way somebody who's a sober mind, like conscious, 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:11.599 like like a present whatever, harmed the child. So that 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.320 kind of broke that whole lame excuse I was making 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.240 to myself. But in Kanye's case, right with the stem 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.760 player being for two hundred dollars, that just seemed like 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.800 so much, you know, the gals out of your fan 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.719 for music, but hopefully the stem player makes it a 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.320 much different and greater experience. And I'm one of those 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.719 guys that support pretty much everything he does because he 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.160 pushes the envelope for me. I heard he was streaming 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.960 his movie like in the movie theater, like his album 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.560 in the movie theater. You just went to the movie 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.800 theater and watched it at the movie theater. So I 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:53.719 appreciate him making efforts to game, you know back, especially 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.440 his situation where, just like mine, you own your music, 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.200 but you know you own your music now when not 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.039 as valuable because you don't have a label putting you know, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:07.239 twenty million dollars in marketing into it. Yet you're still 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:11.160 selling reasonable minding units. You know it's probably going to 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.280 go to platinum, yet you're not really making the revenue 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.000 from going go to platinum because you know, the streaming 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.880 apps has changed the game. So I appreciate you for 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.520 pushing through and trying to figure out how to get 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.160 the revenue and economics back, because that's something we should 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.240 all be trying to do as artists. Yeah, there's there's 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:36.360 um are glaring, diminishing returns curve, you know. I mean, 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.120 if the twelve percent number is real for everybody, and 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.680 it's not going to be real for everybody, it's approximate. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.480 It depends. It might be twelve percent for him, it 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.480 might be a different percent for somebody else. For me, Yeah, 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:48.920 I mean for me, it's going to be in the 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.840 zero percent. But zero times zero equal zero anyway, so 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.800 it doesn't even matter. But like you know, twelve percent 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:01.280 is essentially an eighth, you know, one of rate. So 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:11.840 the question then becomes, can you, by yourself do the 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.320 volume that you otherwise that they could propel you to do, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.480 you know, with with with that type of lever economically, 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:27.080 he'll earn more then streaming apps will pay him. Yeah, 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.600 he will because he can go platinum by himself. I 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:35.040 don't know if he's gonna go platinum or whatever. Streaming 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.240 he can put a lot of numbers down by himself. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.120 But yeah, with a stamp player that's two hundred dollars, 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.840 he's not gonna sell a million of old. That's just 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.920 not gonna happen. It's likely. I mean, that would be great, 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.400 that that would be unbelievable that I don't think Park 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.840 go right, I think if you a sales you know, 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.000 a hundred two hundred thousand stamp players, you know, you 0:08:54.080 --> 0:09:00.560 bring in uh four million bucks, that's more, you know 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.720 than the streaming service. Actually forty million bucks. That's more 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.480 than the streaming site is gonna pay him in the 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.160 first place. He was he wasn't gonna get forty million 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:12.360 out of the streaming sites. But again, you sacrifice and 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.360 what what what I think it happened is he'll sell 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.360 a hundred to two hundred thousand staying players of his 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.360 new album and maybe within a month or two the 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.920 music will find itself on the streaming app so he'll 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.439 get the back end of it. But I appreciate him 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:31.640 always pushing through to try to take back more of 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:36.440 his power. And I was talking to Charlotte Magne about 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.719 it earlier. While I don't think it benefits everybody in 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.440 the music business as far as like his particular move, 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.160 I think he inspires people to try and figure out, 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.120 you know, he gives you a blueprint kind of like 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:55.400 you're watching it live happened where it's like, maybe I'm 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.680 not just in this position to where I have to 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.319 take the ship from you know, the streaming apps. If 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.680 you don't like what's going on there. What's funny to 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.080 me is right is on? Uh so for Kaye should 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.320 have never married that bit right the latest song I 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.959 had dropped right, A lot of companies didn't really want 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.840 to show me love on it. They was like, I 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.960 don't know, gee, because you know Kanye could take it wrong. 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:22.600 You know that's YouTube that Spotify, Apple, you know title 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.520 even lit. It was like, I don't know, it's Stem 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.719 going to carry the song? Huh is Stem going to 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.240 carry the song if Kanye has something to do with it? 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.640 I bet you we would. Kanye wouldn't stifle who I 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.000 am as a theater because I'm sure you could recognize 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:40.640 it it's about must die or anything else I do. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.160 My brilliance come from things that they've done. So I 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.120 don't think for two seconds he wouldn't carry it if 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.280 it was a possibility, No way he would. Car for 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.559 Corporate didn't carry your song because they were concerned about Kanye, 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:58.040 and then Kanye Streamer carried the song itself carried the song. 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.520 But there are were there some radio stations or something 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:02.800 that we're kind of like a little bit like I 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.719 don't want to bad mess up the relationship. No, Like, 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.199 I think they were worried that Kanye would feel some 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:15.479 kind of way if they actually put promotion behind the song. Okay, 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.920 So they didn't want to give it playlisting or what 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:22.760 you call editorial opportunities. Um, they didn't want to put 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:27.840 it too far out there, and they felt Kanye wouldn't 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.920 you know, that would get negative lashbacks. And it's funny, 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.880 the whole time, he has been preparing to cut them 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.440 out of his music. So fu great. Well, I'm like, 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:45.000 dog like, hip hop is in such a weird place, 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.360 And as much as I love Kanye, I blame Kanye 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.520 because we were at a time now where everything is 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.280 entirely too sensitive and it's too worried and oh, you know, 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.120 this person may not like this, so I don't want 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.079 to get behind this person, or this record is too edgy. 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.640 Like we're in hip hop and niggas are telling me 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.920 that my song Kanye should have never married that bitch 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.600 is too edgy, and I'm like, damn, what if these 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:16.000 people were in charge hip hop as a century. It's 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.480 not the wild Western that used to be. And I'm 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.760 saying because it ain't hip hop at all at all anymore. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.360 It's like really mainstream rap where everybody and it's weird 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:31.080 because everybody wants to act like they're holding hand singing Kumbaya, 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.040 but really all these chicken shit niggas is talking shit 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.840 about each other behind their back. And the only difference 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.120 with me is I'm such like a outlier from another 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.160 time to a degree that I'm just the last of 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.000 one of those niggas. That's like, Yo, this is what 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.920 it is in front of everybody. I gotta do the 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:52.920 Pemps remix real quick. These ain't no hip hop records, 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:57.920 these corporate rap tunes. It's definitely corporate rap son and 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:02.520 it really is that serious, like where it like the 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.400 most you know where I feel so much relief in 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:10.400 today's space of hip hop. Right is right? So Kanye 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:15.160 gives me that like he's bucking. He's still bucking. He's 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.040 a grown ass father right in a in a multi 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.600 millionaire I mean old times over, and he's still bucking. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.400 He's still trying to buck the system. Yeah, it's like, yeah, 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.840 that's cool, but we're gonna do this, you know what, 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.800 funck Nike, We're gonna do this, like like that is 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.840 the part I am glad that he's here because you 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.520 know his spirit and this ship is so important because 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.360 he still represents a level of hip hop, a spirit 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.480 of of of you know, fighting the system, fighting the power, 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.680 you know, bucking. But what relieved me the other day, 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.120 right is I'm watching the Super Bowl halftime show right 0:13:56.120 --> 0:14:01.240 with Dre with Doc Snooper, And so seeing Snoop on 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:06.360 TV right with this blue rag outfit is just great. Right, 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.720 this is great tossing up to see and giving up 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.200 his rap. But there's a part and I noticed they 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.880 didn't cuss, right, And I'm like, they're worried about slang, 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.120 but they're selling beer, right, But it was a part 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:23.280 where Dray says, still not loving police. And I'm not 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.840 gonna lie to you, like I've talked to j a 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.320 few times, you know over the years. You know what 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.120 I mean. And sometimes I always wonder, like, man, is 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.400 that sick ass nigger from compt is still in there? 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:41.680 You know that that rebellious he was, He just kind 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:46.320 of in the in the group. Not because if you yes, 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.520 you have to be there. Some of that has to 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.360 be his attitude, like he there, There have to there 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.560 has to be an attitude in there, like Dr Dre, 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.800 Is it a fair question for me to ask, giving 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:04.400 his personality across the tapestry of the other members. I mean, 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.560 don't get me wrong, I think easy Ease personality was 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.680 a lot more looming than everyone else's over it. But 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.640 I still think all of them niggas had attitudes. And 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:20.120 for Dre to be closing in on sixty and that 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.800 line comes up, still not loving Police and he said it, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.560 I was like, nigger is still in there? And he 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.760 met about two back and I'm like, ah, man, this 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.960 nigga wrote police in nine seven, and he worried about 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.680 me telling the story while I'm not saying nobody. So 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.520 it made me question, like, damn is that is that? 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.520 Is that that young nigga with an attitude still in there? 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.920 And when he was on that stage at Super Bowl 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.720 he said still not loving Police. I was like that ship, 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.800 Like my heart would have been fractured if he didn't 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.320 say it. So when he said it, it was like, yeah, 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.120 like this ship ain't fell on deaf fears, Like like 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.400 I still imagined Dres and making like the poonies come 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.200 to his door. He trying to be cool, but really 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.560 he wanted to shut the door in the face, Well, 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.760 that did happen? Like what two years ago? A year ago, 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.640 some weird white guy called the police and they showed 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:16.840 up at his house and he was like, I don't 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:21.320 know this guy's talking about. They're like, just went back 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.440 to the station. That's what I appreciate about. Even with 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.560 this stamn ship, Like is it most likely gonna be 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.040 worth two hundred dollars? I don't know what's worth two 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:36.240 hundred dollars these days, very few things. Um, but I'll 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.600 pay for that. I'll pay for him still bucking the system. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.120 That's what I'm paying for. I'm paying for him sucking 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.000 the system. I don't known fun what that stamp player do. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.840 Here's a go funding contributions. What you made? Huh you 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.040 made a go fund to make contribution? Yeah, I ain't 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:58.200 chipped them, just as long as Canadians don't keep your money. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.640 Yeah no, no, no no. When you buck the system 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.679 for me, I gotta pay you if you if you 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:11.560 go buck, I'm gonna pay you. That's all. That's all 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.280 I asked from hip hop in modern time. Buck dog 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.399 fuck you let me kick. I don't just getting this 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.520 ship and try to get it drinking cold and and 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.040 all that ship is cool and that mainstream rap. No, 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.800 no disrespect to them, brothers, but feel me like that 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.840 ship ain't bucking and nothing. They weren't top ten several 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.920 episodes ago. Huh, they didn't make my top ten several 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:41.080 episodes ago. I'm just saying that ship too nice. That's 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.560 why I wasn't in my top ten. That's why I 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.080 pay for their music. You gotta buck for me, you 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.560 gotta buck the system. And so for him to constantly 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.399 buck the system, that's what I paid for. That's what 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:57.440 it was worth. So do I feel like I got beat? Hell? No, 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:04.760 it It's what makes hip hop great. That's what it's 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.240 all about. Yeah, I'm not that at the vetter he 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:13.200 can pull it off. I mean, even if it if 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:19.600 it's a hardware advice, I mean, it never even crossed 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:21.800 my mind that that could that that could even have. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.440 I'm like, it's a digital portal, like like stream yark, 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.320 you know, like what we're on. You know, I thought 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:32.360 would be something like that, um an app that could 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.040 cost a fortune in r indeed to create or to purchase, 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:41.800 you know. I mean, I'm sure you would figure out 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.080 a way to create the right value for it. I 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.960 don't think for two seconds it's not gonna be what 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:50.719 it's supposed to be. Yeah, but but he might need 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:57.040 to sell an awful lot. Probably not. It's probably made 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:02.120 somewhere in Asia by somebody getting paid thirteen cents an hour. Yeah, 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.680 that's where it's made. I'm talking about it when where 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:09.320 it was created the technology, and they was paying thirteen 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.040 Since an hour or two might have cost eighteen cents 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:17.600 to build, it always is eighteen cents to build, to build, yeah, 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:24.800 to to recreate, not to create, to create, not to create. No, no, no, 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.919 no no. If there was, trust me, i'd i'd be 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.720 doing that right now as we speak. I can't even 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:35.119 get a a decentralized app done to my specifications for 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:40.880 under twenty case. Yeah, but that's because again, right what 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.280 you do is limited. That's limited. That doesn't even exist 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:54.600 yet we know about it. Maybe maybe he just stumbled 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:56.560 upon some guy had this thing. Hey, I got this 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.440 cool thing and nobody wants it. He was like, I'll 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.280 grab it. Maybe he was ready made, and I don't 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.400 think he. I think they came to and he made 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.960 a deal, some kind of special deal with him. They 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.439 probably came to M was like, yeah, man, we got this. Well, 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.920 if that's the case, then he's really I don't need 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.080 it unless they gave him a bunch of money up front. 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.240 And Yeah, the thing about Yeah is that is a 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:22.400 corporate deal. It's different, a different corporate That's my point. 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.200 Is always gonna be some corporate thing, That's what I say, 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.840 even when Yeah is trying not to, he's gonna do 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:35.199 something that's super corporate. Eve, Yeah, super capitalistic. It's always 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.879 gonna be that. Like he wanted to make these shoes 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:41.480 that were like fair price and they weren't that much material, 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.520 yet they end up costing more than every fucking pair 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.720 of tennis shoes. He's he's the kind of guy who's 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:52.240 gonna like, oh man, there's hand full characters like this 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:56.200 stuff thinking of it, like various comedy movies over the years. 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.720 But he's like the kind of guy who, like, I'm 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.320 a rebel, all repel right now, I don't go seventy 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:08.639 six and sixty five watching me. Like, to some degree, 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:10.920 I guess that's not He's not gonna get too far 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:16.360 like called George Bush a bitch, Like I can see 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:17.960 if he was gonna get on TV, and like George 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.600 Bush is a bitch ass nigger. Like, no, he's going 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.800 to like, he's going to give you the obvious truth 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.600 that nobody else is said. George Bush doesn't like black people. 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.320 That's that's that's Kanye's version of hip hop. Glasses Malone 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.240 version of hip hop is, man, fuck George Bush, pitch 0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:42.400 ass nigger. Yeah, that's like a hundred and sixty five 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:47.840 three Yeah. Me calling George Bush a bitch ass nigger 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.280 on television is like a hundred and fifty miles per hour. 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:54.679 But that's the kind of hip hop I mate, But 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:57.879 I think, and that's what I said, Like, I like, 0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.400 just like I'm grateful for Kanye's contribution to hip hop, 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:05.639 I also loathed as well, because I know he's the 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:09.040 reason why this hundred and fifty miles people think I'm crazy, 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.439 even though hip hop came from doing a hundred and 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:16.240 fifty miles in in in the sixty five mile Prower Freeway, 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.760 you know, on that lane, that's where it came from. 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.919 But the standards have been lowered to where if Kendrick 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:24.880 Lamar gets on the song, he's like, yeah, I'm trying 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:26.720 to compete and be better than all of the rappers 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.199 of today's time. It's the end of the world, and 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:31.320 they all don't want to mess with him no more 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:34.400 and be his friend because they're not used to that 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:38.920 type of someone being that apparent and competitive. This is 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.760 the area of fifth place trophies for sure. I mean, 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:47.560 Kanye is the rapper of you see, he's a child 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:52.480 of people with retire pensions. You know, his his his his, 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:56.280 the pensions rapper, I would say, now you mean or 0:22:56.400 --> 0:23:03.320 overall overall the funniest it bro is right. Kanye's album, right, 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.879 the first album, Like when I first heard Kanye, I 0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:08.240 just understood it was great music. I never looked at 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:11.480 it as a representation of like real hip hop life, 0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.080 like not hip hop life, because hip hop, the way 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:18.160 I've took it in is very much street urban culture, right, 0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:22.919 very much an urban corner street thing. Right. So, like 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:25.480 the depth of kanye struggle on the first album was 0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:29.439 him dropping out of college, right and getting accused of 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:34.840 stealing pants by his boss. And I was like, I 0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:39.520 was listening to my first album, and my first album 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:44.399 is uh, I'm talking about facing life in prison and 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:47.399 doing facing ten years and his is like, yeah, they 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:49.560 almost called me stealing pants. My boss thought I was 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.399 still in pants and he was gonna fire me, and 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:55.919 I was like, huh. So I always felt it was 0:23:56.000 --> 0:24:00.200 like seventy miles per hour in the city five for 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.719 hour Lane. So when it first came out, I was 0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:06.199 always just listening to the music. I didn't really connect 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:08.240 with the struggle of Kanye West. It was like, that's 0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.800 a joke to me. But I thought he was great 0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:14.760 at sampling. I thought he placed words really well. I 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:18.240 thought he carried melody well, he used all the voices perfectly. 0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:20.560 He might have a bit too many skits on the 0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:23.560 first record, but it was as great as it could so. 0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:26.200 But in two thousand and four, that was cool, right 0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:29.840 because it was like, all, like I had fifty cents 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.640
