00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: Well, what was what got you to that that weight?

84
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,920

Speaker 2: Like what got you there?

87
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 4: Man? I think some of it was lifestyle. Some of

88
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 4: it was, you know, a roller coaster, trying to lose weight,

89
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 4: taking diet pills, sipping serve maybe you know, drinking alcohol

90
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: all the other stuff too. It definitely messed up my metabolism. So,

91
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 4: you know, it was something where I would be on

92
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: a full fledged, like hard, tough, strict diet, strict regiment

93
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: of training, working out, and six months go by you

94
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: lose you know, four pounds, So it's very like deflating

95
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 4: and just.

96
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: It's not motivating whatever the opposite the motivating is.

97
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: But one of my homeboys, man, one of the one

98
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: of the biggest gangsters I know, he was like, man,

99
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: I want to go get that band. And I was like, man,

100
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: that man, you know, I don't know, man, I just

101
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: to me that wasn't something the gangsters did the players did,

102
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: you know? And he was like, man, now forget that. Man,

103
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: it's gonna save my life. You know you want you

104
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: want to die, you know, because he was going through

105
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: some of the same thing. He sipped a lot of

106
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 4: syrup too, he was taking dive pills, all of that,

107
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 4: and it was just a rollercoaster messing up his metabolism.

108
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: And when he win, he was like, say, man, I

109
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: want you to come.

110
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if he really wanted to get it

111
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: or he was just trying to convince me to kind

112
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: of get it, because.

113
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,600

114
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: guy PI. Yeah, it definitely worked.

115
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: It saved my life, man, for only my only greatest

116
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: I didn't do it sooner, because man, if I knew,

117
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: I could have been skinny like this and I ain't

118
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: got to work out on nothing.

119
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 2: I don't got to do nothing.

120
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,560

00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 4: Like, damn, maybe that's all I would have had to do,

124
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: and I could have I could have been Misspokes you know,

Speaker 1: get full real quick, real man.

132
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: So like, for instance, last night, I had something to eat,

133
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: like a little gyro and I had two bites and

134
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 4: that was it.

135
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: I was full, and.

136
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: I was gonna get the lap band. But the lap

137
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 4: band I know people who had it, and it either

138
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: stretches or slips, so they got to.

139
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: Get it removed.

140
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: They gain their weight back, and I just you know,

141
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: I actually went to get to and the doctor was like, man,

142
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 4: look the doctor who did it was one of the

143
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: first doctors that ever did the lap band or sleep

144
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: any of that. He actually trained other doctors and he

145
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: was like, look, I done did over a thousand of these, man.

146
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: You know it ain't it ain't what you want. You

147
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: want to do this one. And I was like, all right,

148
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 4: same cost that. It really wasn't too much different. It

149
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: just the lap band. They put a little band around

150
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 4: your stomach. The sleeve they put a whole sleeve around

151
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 4: your stomach and they remove part of your stomach that

152
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 4: produced the hormone that makes you hungry, so I don't

153
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 4: I don't get it, Liketh.

154
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: Say there anything that you can't do or certain things

00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: a little tired, you know what I'm saying, lack of

160
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: energy just because you say, I gotta remind myself to eat,

161
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: you know, or else I'll get aheadache. I won't get hungry,

162
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: but I get like a little grumpy, you know, and

163
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 4: like Google be like hey man, here's yeah, yeah.

164
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

165
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: Other than that, man, I can eat anything, drink anything.

166
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 4: You know. It's not like restricted where you can't drink

167
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 4: coffee or soda or whatever. But I will say this though,

168
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: spicy food definitely gives me a lot more heartburn than

169
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 4: it used to. You know, wife, you like to cook.

170
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: So it's like, man, that's the only the only tough

171
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: thing is now I can't really eat. I used to

172
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: enjoy eating.

173
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you joy, yeah, exactly. Now I

174
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: gotta eat to live. And I was eating for fun.

175
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 6: I don't like heartburning at all age because heart burned

176
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 6: all age you don't know you having a heart attack.

177
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: And now you know what I'm saying, I don't like that.

178
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: It's a little scary.

198
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: that's just what the whole album is about. This is

199
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: what I'm trying to convey with the message. You know

200
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: what I'm saying with it Once upon a grind.

201
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: You ever thought about going back and doing like a

202
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: whole project withwitsh your house artists like Mike Jones, of

203
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: course stugg a Thugger or Chamelionaire.

204
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: You ever thought about that. No, You're still in contact

205
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: with them. May not be on them to do this

206
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: all the time. Man, First of all, let me start

207
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 4: off with the ball Slim Thug. Slim Thug is the

208
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: most like he is the biggest boss, but when it

209
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: comes to rapping, he's like, you know, like we'll be

210
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: like in New York and let's go to studio.

211
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: He'd be like, man, go to the studio. Let's go

212
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: to the club. He liked the party, would like the party.

213
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: He'd be like, man, studio, we can go to the

214
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: studio anytime.

215
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: He got a studio in his house.

216
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: So, for instance, if I like, he's on my new album,

217
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: Hey I need you on my album bet single song,

218
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: he do it in fifteen minutes. So if we're in

219
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: a situation where it's like I'm a little different, like

220
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: I'm like, hey, we in New York. Let's capture the moment.

221
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: Let's go in the studio. Let's capture this energy and

222
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 4: do something. But Slim is like, man, we can go

223
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: to the studio any time. Man, there's no difference. We

224
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 4: go to the studio now or tomorrow. So that's Slim.

225
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: So Slim is not like really motivated to get in

226
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: there and knock it.

227
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: Out, you know what I'm saying.

228
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: Yes, now if we tell him, hey, we got a

229
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: deal or we need to do this or whatever, yeah,

230
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: for sure, he motivated in like anytime we got a

231
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: deadline or something.

232
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: But I done did that with Slim where we do

233
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: a whole entire mixtape.

234
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: In the day. You know, I've done that with him.

235
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: You know, I've seen him do that plenty of times.

236
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: So he's not really like pressure to let's get it going,

237
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 4: okay now, Mike Jones, Mike Jones all over the place.

238
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 4: He kind of making a comeback with his music. He

239
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: kind of was, you know, out of the scene for

240
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: a while. You know, in terms of shows, like me

241
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 4: and Slim, we tore all the time on the road

242
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: every single weekend. Mike Jones kind of took a break

243
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: for a while. Now he's coming back out, He's got

244
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 4: new music coming out. He's definitely on the road again.

245
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: Number. But actually, you know what, I think he's trying

246
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: to get it back.

247
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: I think I think they people still lost it and

248
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 4: then he's trying to get it back for some reason.

249
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 4: But because the phone number gets so many calls, it's

250
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: not like a normal bill. It's like an inflated bill.

251
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 4: So like I know, he'll get like a ten thousand

252
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 4: dollars phone bills. Like it's crazy.

253
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: But you said he was what was he doing during

254
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: that time because he was missing for a minute.

255
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 4: I think he was just enjoying life because we would

256
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: see him every now and in the shows, and every

257
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: time we see him, he looking good. He's still rocking

258
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 4: and still killing it. But you know, we wouldn't really

259
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 4: see him in the studio too much or dropping too

260
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: much music. But now I know he's dropping some music. Now.

261
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: If we were to all do a project like that,

262
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure Mike Jones will probably be involved with that.

263
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 4: He probably will be down, you know, But I think

264
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: right now he's kind of more focus on getting you know,

265
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: his own solo stuff going, you know what I'm saying.

266
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 2: But I think he probably will be down. Come me

267
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: in there, man. Man, he ain't trying to do no music.

268
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: Man, he got so much money right now, whatever take

269
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 4: money he got, whatever investment is the crypto he got

270
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: he Look, let me tell you, I talked to him

271
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: about this all the time, because the way the music

272
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 4: industry has evolved. You know, he's not he's he's always

273
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 4: been this way way. He's not trying to give nothing away.

274
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: He really he really appreciates the value of his music,

275
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: you know, and he's not giving it away. He's not

276
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 4: signing the deal where he's getting screwed over just because

277
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: it's a good look.

278
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: Nah, He's not about none of that.

279
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: He's straight business and he really values his art that

280
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 4: he creates. So you know what I'm saying with that,

281
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 4: it takes a certain type of label to sign him

282
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 4: who has the same vision as him, where they're not

283
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 4: just all about the dollars and cents, they're not just

284
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: all about just you know, whatever is gonna make us

285
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: splash or go viral.

286
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: You know, he needs the right type of partner, y'all.

287
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be signing with nobody at this point though. Yeah,

288
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 2: I mean, this is why I tell him.

289
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 4: Look, you ain't got it. We don't as a artist.

290
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 4: You don't even have to put your music on Spotify.

291
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 4: You don't have to put it on any of these

292
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: streaming where's free.

293
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: You don't have to do that. You can put it

294
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: only for sale. You can make it.

295
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: We can release an album right now and drop it

296
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: on CD. I don't know who got a CD player.

297
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying.

298
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 3: He can create a website and do it only on

299
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: your le.

300
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 2: On the website where we only sell it.

301
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 4: We sell everything. I tell him, say, man, let's drop

302
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: an album. Well, we don't drop it till we got

303
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand pre sales. You know what I'm saying,

304
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 4: Why not?

305
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: You know, then we don't have to drop an album

306
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: ailwhere we don't get it. You know what I'm saying, Well,

307
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 2: it don't have to be like the just how the

308
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: trends are. We don't have to do that.

309
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 4: And if you're not cool with giving your music away

310
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: or you know whatever, then we don't have to. And

311
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 4: but I think he's trying to like navigate, you know,

312
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: because he's he has a passion for the music. So

313
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 4: every now and then somebody will ask him Toby newig

314
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 4: Wad got him on a song with two Change last year.

315
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: Every nine and anytime I've ever asked him to do something,

316
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 4: he'll do it, you know. Same with Slam, with any

317
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 4: of us we asked Bunna be asking, He's gonna do it.

318
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: But he's not like, hey, I need to do an

319
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 4: album and I want to do this, you know. And

320
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: also he's like, you know, just the way that the

321
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 4: way the uh, it's like a microwave generation or just

322
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 4: not even generation, it's.

323
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: A microwave errow we're in where it comes like this

324
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 2: and it goes like that.

325
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: So you put your all into something, You put all

326
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: this creativity and thoughts and ideas you've had for years

327
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 4: that you finally put into fruition and put it on

328
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 4: an album and it comes out and then the next

329
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 4: week no one cares because they're on to the next

330
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 4: artist album dropping.

331
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: He's just like Man's he's not really pressed to just

332
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 1: drop nothing like that.

333
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: But again, if it was like something where it's like

334
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: all four of us or something, I think he probably

335
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: would do that, you know what I'm saying now, I

336
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 4: will say this too.

337
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: Somebody who's been in a group with command in that

338
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: where you split it fifty to fifty.

339
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: Come in. There is a guy where it's like, hey,

340
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: look if it's four of us and we split.

341
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 4: It twenty five, twenty five, twenty five. You know what

342
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 4: I'm saying. He's more like, say, man, look, why don't

343
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: we just drove solo albums? And yeah, So he's like,

344
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: you know, but it would take a special moment or

345
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 4: a special situation.

346
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: Or something like.

347
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 4: This is what I tell him all the time, say, man,

348
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,599
Speaker 4: we need to do an album or we need to

349
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: just make some music just so it's there so that

350
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: if something happens or something or whatever, that is just

351
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 4: it's just there, yeah, in the arch. And also, I know,

352
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: you know, when you stop and you try to come

353
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: back later, you gotta get back in shape.

354
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: But if you never stop working out, you never got

355
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 2: to train, you know.

356
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 4: You know, if you training for super yeah, of course

357
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: you're gonna train a little harder or you know what

358
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 4: I'm saying. But I'm just saying like, and that's why

359
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: I keep putting on mute've I've been putting on music NonStop.

360
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 4: But I just you know, it's more like on the

361
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: ground or you know, under the radar, you know, what

362
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: I'm saying not a whole lot of marketing behind it.

363
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 4: But for me on my music, it's more like I'm

364
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,599
Speaker 4: just trying to focus on the music of it, the

365
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: music aspect of it.

366
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: You know.

367
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 4: And also I don't want to, you know, get I

368
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 4: don't want to get lost in the shuffle of I

369
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 4: ain't dropped the album five years, six years or whatever,

370
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 4: and then when you finally drop that album, the expectations

371
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 4: be so high.

372
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: It it's like, man, if you don't meet.

373
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: The expectations, is a complete flyp or failure.

374
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just like, man, I'm doing what I love

375
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 4: to do. I'm making music with the people I enjoy

376
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 4: making music with. I'm still torn on the road, just

377
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: you know, enjoying my life making good money with it.

378
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 4: So I mean, I don't know if I mean, you

379
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 4: put that out there, so I might have to, you know,

380
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: I might have to rally the truths. You know what

381
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 4: I'm saying, everybody or you the glue that talks to everybody.

382
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: You're the main person that talks everybody.

383
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

384
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: I would maybe say slim Thug might be the glue.

385
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: You know, slim Thug is maybe even more of the glue,

386
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: I would say, But I mean, I don't know. I

387
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 4: don't have any problems with any of them. None of

388
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: us have any problems with each other, you know what

389
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: I'm saying. But we're all you know, we're our brothers,

390
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 4: so we support each other to the full us. Whatever

391
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 4: each one of us is doing, we definitely support, you know.

392
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, i'd say SLIMP Thug might keep in contact

393
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: with all of us a little bit more than I do, maybe,

394
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 4: but well, you know, we all boys.

395
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 6: What do you think led to switch the house not

396
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 6: having the impact they once had? Because think about it,

397
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 6: you're just named three powerhouses, right.

398
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna tell you this, I've been you know,

399
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 4: salute to the DJs out there, Michael Watson, og ron C,

400
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: the two DJs that discovered myself, Common and Mike Jones,

401
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 4: SLIMPT the four platinum artists. They discovered us when we

402
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 4: were at our very beginning. You know, they didn't sign

403
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: us after we already established, after our had a household name.

404
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 4: They signed us and built yourself from scratch and turned

405
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: us into platinum artists. And that's very rare when someone.

406
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: Could do that to four artists, so big salute to og.

407
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 4: Ron C, Michael five thousand Watts and all the DJs

408
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: who helped us, but specifically them two.

409
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Now we'll switch the house.

410
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 4: I can say what happened is the same thing that

411
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 4: happened to any other record label that ever existed.

412
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: They never last forever, you know what I'm saying.

413
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: Every record label eventually, you know, sometimes they reinvent themselves

414
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 4: with new artists, new sounds, new CEOs, new directions, but

415
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 4: no record label last forever, especially like if it's in

416
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: the same thing that happened to Rockefeller Murder Inc.

417
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: You know, cash Money is like the only one that

418
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: is still going. You know what I'm saying, Well, they

419
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: still going.

420
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 4: Hard, but you know what I mean, they to reinvent

421
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 4: themselves to do right old with young money or you know,

422
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 4: things like that. But I mean, you know, we had

423
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 4: a great run. So it's like, you know, it lasted

424
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 4: a great time. I wish it could continue, just because

425
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 4: I know the impact that the Swisher House had for

426
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: me in my career, and you know, I wish that

427
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 4: that impact could be made for another artist because I just.

428
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: Know what it did for me, you know what I'm saying,

429
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: But I mean it just it is what it is,

430
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: you know.

431
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: It's just how the times go.

432
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: I know, Michael Watch still doing stuff he got I

433
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 4: think he got an app right now where you got,

434
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: you know, the chopped up music on there. I know

435
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 4: O g Rounci's still chopping stuff up, still doing music.

436
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 4: But in terms of both of them, like discovering and

437
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: developing new talent, I don't think it's really come to

438
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 4: that white yeah, but I think it might be getting there,

439
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 4: just because you could see you know what I'm saying, like,

440
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 4: you know, just that style of freestyling over other people

441
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 4: beats and just bringing some you know, your own, you know,

442
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: little flavor to somebody else's song. You know, there's just

443
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 4: so much talent out there that you know, all they

444
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 4: need is an avenue to show it. You know, you

445
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 4: get the right artists, you know, on that avenue and

446
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: the same thing having others is gonna happen to them.

447
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 5: So I saw an interview where you had said growing

448
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 5: up you didn't realize you was white.

449
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: I didn't know. Yeah, it was like you white? Why

450
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: you why are you talking that like that? You white?

451
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what where was this? Like? When was

452
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 2: some when were you I was like.

453
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, definitely in school, elementary school maybe or

454
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: middle school.

455
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: I remember that.

456
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 4: But I mean all my friends were black or Mexican

457
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 4: or Asian. I lived in a very diverse neighborhood. There

458
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: was you know, it was white people there, but it

459
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 4: was you know, Mexican, Black, Vietnamese, Indian and all kind

460
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 4: of every any a lot of everything. You know, even

461
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 4: you know, it was like you know, fb a, you know, black,

462
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 4: but it was also like a lot of immigrants black

463
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 4: like Canadian and he's Nigerian. You know, there were other

464
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: you know, immigrants they were black as well. But so

465
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 4: we got a great mixture of you know, growing up

466
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 4: in America.

467
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,280

00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 2: take a DNA test.

470
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: She three percent.

00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: I mean I know that.

472
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,160

473
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: enough for say.

474
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: You ever took it.

00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 4: No, No, not that my mama whatever wanted to say

476
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 4: the N world. By the way, you know, she ain't

477
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: never said that in her life.

478
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 2: Why you're scared to test? Because you're scared to test

479
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: because be too white?

480
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 4: Nah, I don't really try, Like, no, I don't know

481
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 4: I really want to, but I'm just you know, it's

482
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 4: the conspiracy theorist. To me, it's like, I don't know

483
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 4: if they're going to use my data and they're gonna say, oh,

484
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 4: he's this and this and this, so that means he's

485
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 4: more susceptible to these diseases and they're gonna use it

486
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 4: to you know, I don't know. It's just I know

487
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 4: it might sound crazy, but it's just the it's the conspiracy.

488
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 4: Like I really want to get it though, but I'm like, man,

489
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 4: I don't know.

490
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 6: Man, Paul is a real conspiracy theorist though, But you

491
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 6: don't you don't even believe in dinosaur?

492
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, why?

493
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 4: I just always thought they was fake. I don't know,

494
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 4: It's just I just I never believed that they existed.

495
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know, kind of once you realized

496
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 4: that Santa Claus isn't real, you know what I'm saying

497
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 4: to Easter Bunny not real, and it's.

498
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, I don't know. I just always thought

499
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: the dinosaur was a fake.

500
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: You know, my mama she talked, we talked about it

501
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 4: because ever since I ever heard of you know, kindergarten

502
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 4: or whatever. It's like, man, I don't know that's make leave,

503
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: you know, But I just always just thought they were fake.

504
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: And every now and then I'll come across certain other

505
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 4: people like Marcellus Wiley. I remember Derek Bell, he played

506
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 4: for the Astros. I remember it was a fun fact

507
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 4: he didn't believe in dinosaurs either, you know. So every

508
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 4: now and I'll come across other people who, you know,

509
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: they're in on the hoax with me, you know what

510
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

511
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 6: But I don't know, when you think about stuff like

512
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 6: whales or elephants get like these big, magnificent creatures, it's

513
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 6: not far fetched.

514
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 4: I definitely think there's stuff in the ocean too that

515
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: we don't know about this, you know what I'm saying, bigger,

516
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: But I don't know. I just always felt like the

517
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 4: dinosaurs that they, you know, they show us aren't real

518
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 4: not you know. I watched a lot of ancient aliens too,

519
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 4: so they talk about dinosaurs being basically like big chickens

520
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 4: and stuff, you know what I'm saying, Or how we

521
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 4: look at him as being like lizards and reptiles. They

522
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 4: say they're more like they were like they had feathers

523
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: and they had other things. I don't know, I don't know.

524
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 4: I just I just feel like, man, I just don't

525
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: believe it, you know, I just I never believe it

526
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: or not.

527
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 6: In South Carolina and North Carolina and like the late

528
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 6: eighties early nineties, people can still see terodactors for real.

529
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: Stop, I'm not even joking. Anybody out there can look

530
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: at me.

531
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: Right now, google it.

532
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: They still were seeing terodactives ladies every night.

533
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 6: And I remember being a kid and it was Live

534
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 6: five news and Live five news somebody had captured one

535
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 6: on video and then they told us it was like

536
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 6: a kite or robot or some shit.

537
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: And this was the eighties. I'm like, get the fuck out.

538
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: I'm like that he was on drugs, like eight.

539
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 4: I'm a hypocritical conspiracy theorist because I don't believe in

540
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 4: dinosaurs by one hundred percent believe that.

541
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: So you know what I'm saying.

542
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, I do believe like when we go

543
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 4: certain places, like I go travel like Mexico somewhere, and

544
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 4: they're like, oh, they still say this, this, this, and that.

545
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: I believe that, but I just don't believe in the

546
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: you mean chi Copra, Yeah, yeah, but I don't.

547
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't believe in a lock of his

548
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: monster because it's been debunked.

549
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: But you know what I'm saying, but the debunked the

550
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 4: debunkness also could be fraud.

551
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 2: You know, I'm open minded about this.

552
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

553
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: Why you don't believe it? Like Monsa though, because I

554
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: would have dinosaurs, uh went underwater. I believe. I believe

555
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: there are things underwater. I just don't believe it's dinosaurs.

556
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

557
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: I just I just don't believe it.

558
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what.

559
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm open to the idea that they could exist. I

560
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: just I don't know.

561
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: I just I believe in aliens for sure. I'm heap

Speaker 1: or something.

566
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 4: But you know, like I said, I watched a lot

567
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: of ancient aliens so that they say the aliens among.

568
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: Us, we wouldn't even know.

569
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

570
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: They say they're humanoid and this and that. So I mean,

571
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,000

Speaker 2: I started off.

584
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 4: Actually, I was actually selling grills before I met Johnny,

585
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 4: and you know, I stopped to really kind of pursue

586
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 4: my music a little bit more.

587
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: But my boy, who I was selling.

588
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 4: Grills for, he was he also was doing some music

589
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 4: and he was like, say, look, I need you to

590
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520

00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 4: introduce you to the plug so you don't gotta go

593
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 4: through me. You can have your own grill set up everything.

594
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 4: My boy Crime and he told me I did it

595
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 4: Promosa Farm was like, bet, this is a win for me.

596
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: So I did it.

597
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 4: From you know, I passed out as flyers for his album.

598
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: He brought me to Johnny and then me and Johnny.

599
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 4: You know, well at the time, I was just another

600
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 4: wholesale client. I wasn't like famous or nothing like that.

601
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 4: Even I was trying to wrap it, but I wasn't

602
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: like established. No, this is even before switch House days really,

603
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 4: so you know when he brought me to Johnny, I'm

604
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: just a wholesale client. Now as I start, you know,

605
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 4: rapping in the Swisher House. You know this pre internet.

606
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Nobody know what anybody look like.

607
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 4: They just kind of hear the voice and it's slowed down,

608
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 4: so you don't really hear exactly how it sound what

609
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 4: you might hear it now. I used to always say,

610
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 4: this is why I used to always say my name

611
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 4: at the start of everywhere to do was pa Wak,

612
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 4: because there's no you don't know who I am, but

613
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 4: you're gonna hear that.

614
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 2: At least you gonna know my name. So one time,

615
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: you know, I being Johnny's all the time.

616
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,080

00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: Immigrant like.

619
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 2: What you call it.

620
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: It's congested a lot of immigrants, and that's how time.

621
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 4: So you've got a lot of different accents and it's

622
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 4: all English, but it's just different accents. Then also it's

623
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 4: the hood so you got a Mexican hood accent, you

624
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 4: got a Black hood accent, you got the Asian hood accents.

625
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 2: You also got.

626
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 4: People from Louisiana coming in with the Louisiana accent, so

627
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 4: you know, and all of that, and Johnny being the

628
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: Vietnamese immigrant himself who speaks English.

629
00:24:54,440 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: But it's let you understand those casters some time.

630
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 4: He worked on it a lot, but some of it still,

631
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: you know, it's it's man, he definitely got his own,

632
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 4: you know, accent, but he uh, you know. It's funny

633
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 4: too because at one point, you know, as you know,

634
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 4: I would get record deals and stuff. Somebody gave me

635
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 4: a little a little CD how to lose your accent

636
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 4: like this, this kind of I guess for immigrants trying

637
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 4: to lose their accent. But it was so that I

638
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 4: would sound more white, so that I could be more

639
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 4: feeling in movies. And I'm like, man, I don't want

640
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 4: to sound like this. Man, I don't want to say they.

641
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 4: I guess they did it in good you know, good

642
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 4: good means. But I was like slightly offenive, you know.

643
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 4: But it's funny because Johnny had the same exact this,

644
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying both didn't use it because

645
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 4: I posted it, and Johnny.

646
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: Was like, bro, I got the same this man, it's crazy.

647
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 2: He might need the volume too.

648
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: He got the first one edition.

649
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 4: But now I would be in there and everybody would

650
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 4: be in there arguing with Johnny just because it would

651
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 4: be broken English to broken English to hood accents, you

652
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, and I would just be translating

653
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 4: English to English. And you know, eventually, one time somebody

654
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 4: was in there and they were at in matter of fact,

655
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: they was from Louisiana and they was like, man, you's

656
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 4: South familiar.

657
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: What's your name. I was like, my name Paul Wall

658
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: and there's like from the Switch House.

659
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 4: And this is when I first started, you know, a

660
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 4: couple of mixtapes here and there, and it was like yeah,

661
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 4: and then Johnny like, damn, you're famous.

662
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, not really, you know what I'm saying,

663
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: but I.

664
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 4: Mean whatever, but that that kind of like I was

665
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 4: kind of like Johnny's first celebrity kind of you know

666
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, even though I was. My celebrity growth

667
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 4: was at the same time, you know, as the jury growth.

668
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 4: But you know, I just it was a hell of

669
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 4: a hustle for me.

670
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: Me and Johnny clicky well in business together, business together with.

671
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 4: Great friends, family. You know, he's just a great guy too. Man,

672
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: it's a great guy to know. But definitely man, that's

673
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 4: my dog man. He changed my Lifey.

674
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 2: People in Houston at an outgrow grils.

675
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: Well, you know, grill.

676
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 4: Let me tell you this, when grill, when we round up,

677
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 4: you know, the mid two thousands, you know what I'm saying,

678
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 4: there was a time where the fad or trend of

679
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 4: grills was dying down, especially as it became like you know, yeah,

680
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 4: you know, but you know, the next generation picked it

681
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 4: back up.

682
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: And that when the next generation picked it up, it

683
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: was that that made it a forever cycle.

684
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 4: Now, if the next generation wouldn't have picked it up,

685
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 4: then it would have been like, okay, maybe we got

686
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 4: a wait twenty years or some ten years like any

687
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 4: other like bail bottoms, you know, I don't know. But

688
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 4: when the next generation picked it up, that kicked off

689
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: the cycle of This is the cycle of you might

690
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 4: as a you know, an individual outgrow grills because of

691
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 4: your age, but it's all of my frame.

692
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Reggie Jackson got grilled.

693
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 4: I made Regi Jackson some grills, you know, I think,

694
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 4: and we were talking about it, I think he might

695
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: be the most say I don't want to say, oh,

696
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 4: he might be the most seniors.

697
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: You know person that we made grills for the definitely

698
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: Mad Triple og Regi Jackson.

699
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: But after who's the oldest person you know that got grill?

700
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 4: But definitely Regi Jackson that I know. But I mean

701
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 4: in terms of well, he was in Houston at the time,

702
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 4: you know when we did them. But I mean in

703
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 4: terms of Houstonians, I don't know. Once you get to

704
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 4: your fifties, you know what I'm saying, some people kind

705
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 4: of like But at the same time, there are people

706
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 4: who come in there like I just turn fifty.

707
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't care.

708
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: I got my money right now, I don't care.

709
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, some of it's in mind

710
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 4: frame because maybe you get into you have your jobs,

711
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 4: or you have different priorities where you're like, I ain't

712
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 4: worry about these grills.

713
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a new kitchen, you.

714
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.

715
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 5: But girls are expensive, the ones that you be having.

716
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, did you have any influence on Megan's latest girls?

717
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 5: The one that she had a bigger in textio.

718
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: Man big shot out them.

719
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,199

720
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 4: the honeymoon set, Johnny. We made them, of course, you

721
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. But yeah, it's we called it

722
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 4: the honeymoon set because there's at least a carrot on

723
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 4: each tooth, so every tooth is a waiting ring.

724
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: But she thank you, thank you.

725
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: How much would they cost, Well, it depends on if

726
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: you get if they're you know, on the sides of

727
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:56,520

Speaker 2: So you know these could you know.

Speaker 4: people say all kind of Lander's numbers.

731
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, if you want to, I.

732
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: Mean I could charge you anything.

733
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: You know.

734
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: I can say this right now for a million dollars.

735
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: It ain't working million dollars. But I can sell tea

736
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: for million dollars.

737
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: So you know, I could say your grill for you know,

738
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars, but it ain't it's worth.

739
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: How many girls have you thrown away?

740
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to think about it, bro, I just

00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 2: we make them.

743
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, I know they might not

744
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 4: fit as time goes on, but I don't know how

745
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 4: that worked. Yeah, but you might know, Like, no, I

746
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 4: ain't playing no games. I just found a set of

747
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: grills I lost, though.

748
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: These were my favorite grills, man to man. I just

749
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 1: found them.

750
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 4: I got my car painting, and when I got my

751
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 4: when I got my car back, my boy's like, hey,

752
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 4: these grills were, you.

753
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: Know, under the seat, And I was like, huh, I've

Speaker 1: been looking for them grills for like ten years.

755
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: You know, I just found them.

756
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 4: So, man, you know there's a there's still hope for

757
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 4: the other ones I lost, but I definitely lost quite

758
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 4: a few sets.

759
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: You know, you're taking them out when you're eating this

760
00:29:59,480 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 1: other thing too.

761
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 4: If I leave them in at all times when I'm

762
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 4: smoking when I'm eating, just imagine, okay, I gotta watch.

763
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 4: Imagine I dip my watch in the lattable and then

764
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 4: I did my watch watching some lasagna, and then I

765
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: did my watch and the whole thing of chewing.

766
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: Tobacco or so my own chew tobacco. But I'm just saying, it's.

767
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: Just for smoking, you know, so even it's just not

768
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 4: gonna you know, it's even if you get it clean,

769
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 4: it's not it's gonna tarnish, and it's you just don't

770
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 4: want to do that.

771
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: It's not good.

772
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's not good practice.

773
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 4: But Johnny is always on me by man, say, man,

774
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 4: take your grills out when you smoke, take your grills

775
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 4: out when you eat.

776
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: Because you leave your grills in all the time.

777
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 4: Well a lot of it be because we out in public.

778
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,440

Speaker 4: my wife, I ain't take my grills out. Like for

781
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 4: the first like six months you thought they was. I

782
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 4: sleep with them because this is how I live. Like

783
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 4: they weren't permanent. But I would sleep with them. I

784
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: would would, you know.

785
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: I take them ot to burst my teeth and put

786
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: them right back in. I don't come with a smell.

787
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 3: They don't come with all.

791
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: baking soda or regular toothpaste.

792
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: And like I said, I would clean.

793
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 4: I never had a cavity in my life until I

794
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 4: start drinking energy drinks and then I got cavities outside

795
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 4: of my grills, like wherever my grills or not. That's

796
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: why I got cavity. But before that, I never had

797
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,160

00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 4: How can I get everybody grills? You know, for the

838
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,320

840
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 4: them much so that they shine, and so that when

841
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 4: we all pull up, we all like, damn, y'all must

844
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: So that's what it was all about, was just about

845
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 2: hooking my friends up.

846
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 4: And then eventually that turned into a my friend has

847
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 4: a friend that want a grill, all right, will let

848
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 4: me sell it.

849
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: To him make a little money.

850
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 4: And Johnny started off as a wholesaler, so even him.

851
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: You know, when you wholesale it's a different price than

852
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 4: when you sell it retail. So the retail markup on Drewry,

853
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 4: especially grills, used to be three hundred percent, so you know,

854
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 4: Johnny would mark it up two hundred percent. He's still

855
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 4: making a lot of money because he's wholesaling it and

856
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 4: marketed up two hundred percent.

857
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: You know.

858
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: So, but of course all the other jewelers hate us.

859
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 4: They especially hate Johnny. All the jewelers hate Johnny because

860
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 4: he you know, I mean, he's the top dog. But

861
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: when my name not included, I don't even care about

862
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 4: none of that, honestly, because you know what I mean,

863
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 4: you know, I did my part. I put my boy on.

864
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 4: You know, he's the man that people want grills. They

865
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 4: come to him, and honestly, it'd be a huge headache

866
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: for me. They come to me they want free grills.

867
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, you know, like that, Johnny. Look,

00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,719

892
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,799

893
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about the Houston music scene.

894
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 6: Right when you think of Meghan Travis, Scott, Don Tolliver,

895
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 6: do you think Houston artists have to have a Houston

896
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 6: sound Saucewalker too, Yeah.

897
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 4: For sure, I got a Houston I mean, you know,

898
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 4: uh b salute to all of the fresh new artists

899
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 4: that are holding it down for Houston and for Texas.

900
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 4: I mean, the Houston style is so diverse, you know.

901
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 4: I mean, we do have a core sound or like

902
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 4: a core slang, a little accent, but I don't think so.

903
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 4: You got Toby newig Way where he's doing his own style.

904
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 4: You definitely hear the Houston in them though. You know,

905
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 4: Sauce Walker, he brought some completely new to the table

906
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 4: to represent He birthed a whole new branch of the

907
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: hip hop tree in Houston, you know with his style.

908
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 4: You know, he created a new Houston style with it,

909
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. But even in that, you

910
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 4: hear the Houston. You know, sometimes he got some screwtin

911
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 4: chop here and there hook so he you know, makes

912
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 4: some references or he got know this and that, you

913
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 4: know whatever slavs of this. You know, he definitely got

914
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 4: some Houston influence in there, but he does it his

915
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 4: own way. Same with Megan, she do it one hundred

916
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 4: percent her own way. Don Tolliver, you know what I'm saying,

917
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 4: Travis Scott, They for sure represent Houston. They got that

918
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 4: Houston style, but they do it their own way.

919
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: And they you know, they they.

920
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 4: Birthed new new versions of the Houston style the same

921
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 4: way like the Ghetto Boys. You know, we're Houston, but

922
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 4: you know, the screwed Up Click was a different kind

923
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 4: of form of you know, the Houston style, you know, and.

924
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: The switch House was like a you know, a product

925
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: of that. You know.

926
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 4: Of course, me being the screw head growing up influenced

927
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 4: by the screw up Click, you know, and then so

928
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 4: the people influenced by us who came after us, they

929
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 4: gonna be you know, definitely man, you know, but I

930
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 4: don't think they have to. You know, it's not like

931
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 4: a monolithic type of style where you know it used

932
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 4: to be like when we came up.

933
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: If you didn't sound like this, you're not making it.

934
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: You're not making it.

935
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: But there's a you know, there's a lot of artists

936
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 4: in Houston that you know, they come with a you know,

937
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 4: something different, but you still hear the Houston in them.

938
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 4: But it's just something different. And I said, I salute

939
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 4: them for just doing their thing, whatever it is. You know,

940
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 4: you gotta follow your path, and I just I'm happy

941
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 4: to see how it's grown. You know what I'm saying

942
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: that the hip hop tree is definitely flourishing in Houston.

943
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask, you know, I can't think of

944
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 3: another market, maybe a land a little bit, but there's

945
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 3: no market that I see like Houston where so many

946
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 3: artists f with each other and you'll all come out

947
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 3: and you'll all support each other. Like I go to

948
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: Houston a lot, and I'll see you. I'll see Thug,

949
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 3: I see Key Key, I see Zero, I'll see you know,

950
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 3: all you guys out together. And why is that there?

951
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: Because you don't see that in New York. You don't

952
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 3: see that in Memphis. You don't see that. You see

953
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 3: it in Atlanta very little, but you see it in

954
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 3: Houston all the time. Like you guys, don't leave Houston.

955
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: We definitely understand the importance.

956
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 4: Of the camaraderie and the unity fun b too, of

957
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 4: course for sure. And you know, we definitely, you know,

958
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 4: we understand that. So I think that's some of it.

959
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 4: There's a little competition, you know what I'm saying. And

960
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: the pie is only so big, so you know, people's

961
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 4: you know, everybody new to get added to the pie.

962
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: Everybody else's slice get a little bit smaller, you know.

963
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 4: But I mean that's just part of it. At the

964
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 4: same time, some people kind of get phased out because

965
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 4: they move on to other things, or they stop making music,

966
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: or they stop performing or just whatever, you.

967
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying.

968
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 4: But you know, the funny thing is, anytime we would

969
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 4: go to New York, you know, Miami, Florida, anywhere in Florida,

970
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 4: we go to Atlanta, we go anywhere.

971
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 2: Anytime we go anywhere, the.

972
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 4: Local rap scene will always tell us, Man, it's crabs

973
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,479
Speaker 4: in a bucket out here. Man, we need to stick

974
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 4: together like y'all doing Houston. They always would tell us that.

975
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 4: But then when we come back to Houston. Everybody in

976
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 4: Houston say, man, we got.

977
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: To come together like they do in Atlanta doing Florida,

978
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, you know what are we doing?

979
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I think some of it is there's a

980
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 4: big entitlement of people expecting other people to do for them,

981
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 4: especially when it comes to artists. Say man, look, I'm

982
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 4: not a CEO, I'm not an an R. I'm not

983
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: trying to sign nobody and put nobody out. My strong

984
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 4: suit is being an artist. I'm not a good CEO.

985
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 4: You do not want to sign to me, you know

986
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. But for some reason in hip hop,

987
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: we think, you know, another rapper gotta put us on.

988
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be the first one to tell you man,

989
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 4: it was two DJs to put me on. So if

990
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 4: you looking for a deal, go find a DJ, not

991
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 4: a rapper. I mean, look, when you've signed to a rapper,

992
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 4: there are a few rappers who can become moguls or

993
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 4: be moguls.

994
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: Or whatever and spot talent and sign talent.

995
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 4: But I mean a lot of the smoking mirrors of

996
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 4: the music industry is somebody already signed, they already got

997
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 4: a marketing campaign behind them, and they just quote unquote

998
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 4: signed to this artist to make it look good, you know,

999
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 4: but really they already signed the label art they signed

1000
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 4: artists A, already signed artists B. And they just trying

1001
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 4: to put you together to just build it up so

1002
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 4: that they can get a co sign.

1003
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 6: You know, all the artists got a top notch executive

1004
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 6: with them, Like for example, we ain't always had a

1005
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 6: test yes you know what I mean.

1006
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 2: Yes, you got to somebody who's an an R or

1007
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: somebody who can.

1008
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 4: Like help put your stuff together, like and really a

1009
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 4: bigger picture where they can just you can just do

1010
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 4: your talent now.

1011
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying.

1012
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 4: When there's a lot of you know, expectations and maybe

1013
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 4: entitlement of up and coming artists, especially when they dope.

1014
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 4: The dope they are, the more entitlement, it seemed like

1015
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 4: they got you know what I'm saying, where they just

1016
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 4: expect the world to know who they are and love them.

1017
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: But I don't know that route.

1018
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 4: I don't know the route where the rapper signed you.

1019
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 4: I don't know the route where you dope and all

1020
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 4: of a sudden you snap a finger and you popping.

1021
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 4: The route I know is you work hard, you get

1022
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 4: told no, you keep working hard, you get told no,

1023
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 4: you keep working hard.

1024
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: And eventually you find a way. That's the route I know.

1025
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 4: So anybody you know asking for advice, I could give

1026
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 4: you some great advice on that. Now, if you want

1027
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 4: advice on signing to a rapper, you know, you a

1028
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 4: rapper and you want to sign to another artist, I

1029
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 4: don't know that round. All I know is horror stories

1030
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 4: from people who signed the other rappers who little brow

1031
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 4: them their whole life, took advantage of them their whole

1032
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 4: life because they was established. And when you first signed

1033
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 4: that deal, you signing up all your rights, all your

1034
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 4: publishing and you know whatever, you know. So I mean,

1035
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 4: I would advise against signing to another rapper, but I

1036
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 4: mean that's just what we feel like we got to do.

1037
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 4: So they'll be that's how they judge your you know

1038
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 4: legacy now too as a rapper. Oh well you know

1039
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 4: his legacy and that great because he never put nobody on.

1040
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 4: And I'm like, well, you know, there's plenty of people

1041
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 4: that me slim thug come in. There's plenty of people

1042
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 4: with Mike Jones. There's plenty of people we put on.

1043
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 4: They just didn't they didn't make it, and that's not

1044
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 4: our fault. That's just how the nature of the industry goes.

1045
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 4: Even for us to make it is THEMN there like

1046
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 4: a lottery ticket, you know what I'm saying, And because

1047
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: it's more than a one in a million. Man, there's

1048
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: so many rappers out there these days that do not

1049
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 4: make it. So for somebody to make it, man, it's

1050
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know what it takes, That's

1051
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. But all I'm saying is, yeah, definitely,

1052
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: it's weird when a lot of people in Houston think that,

1053
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 4: you know, we got to be like the other cities,

1054
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 4: and the other cities think we got to be like Houston,

1055
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 4: and all we really got to do is just keep

1056
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 4: grinding the findal way.

1057
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: I got another Houston question.

1058
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 6: We had Sauce Walker up here and he said that

1059
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 6: artists he was talking about Drake use Houston for personal game,

1060
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 6: not talking about Drake specifically, But you think that's valid

1061
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 6: that a lot of artist hughes Houston for personal game

1062
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 6: but don't really pull back into the city.

1063
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 2: Oh for sure.

1064
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean I think back to when DJ

1065
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 4: Screw died, and you know that might have been the

1066
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 4: first time I really realized it. And you go to

1067
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 4: concerts and the artist comes in from another city. They

1068
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 4: could be any city, and this is this would be

1069
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 4: a regular thing. Every artist comes in, they go on

1070
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 4: stage and they would say, hey, rest DJ screw just

1071
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 4: to get the crowd hype and make the crowd like

1072
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 4: love them.

1073
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 2: Of course they say that we love them.

1074
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 4: But then you talk to them, or you hear them

1075
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 4: in an interview or whatever or you and you realize

1076
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 4: they don't even know what DJ crew is, they can't

1077
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 4: stand the music, they don't like the coach, that they

1078
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 4: just really doing that to try to like win over

1079
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 4: the crowd. And it's like, damn, okay, Well, if you

1080
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 4: really got love for this artist, that artist, why ain't

1081
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 4: get no songs with him? Why ain't ever brought them

1082
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 4: on stage? Why ain't never you know, hung out with them,

1083
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 4: took no pictures with them? And you know why, how

1084
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 4: come when you know the artists come to your city,

1085
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 4: you got love for when you come to the city,

1086
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 4: but when they come to your city, you ain't answering

1087
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 4: the phone, you know.

1088
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: But definitely, I mean it's not just the Houston thing.

1089
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 4: I think that's just it's just a you know, a

1090
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 4: lot of cities do that, you know, because it's just

1091
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 4: you're trying to get on you want to get love

1092
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 4: in that city. So it's like, Okay, who's the popping

1093
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 4: artists that I can shout out or what song is

1094
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 4: popping right now that I can play?

1095
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: You know.

1096
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I think with social media, a lot of

1097
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 4: the songs that are popping here are popping everywhere. You know,

1098
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 4: it is popping there. You know, everybody's your neighbor now.

1099
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 4: You know, it's not a lot of localness you know,

1100
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 4: going on because of social media. But for sure, you know,

1101
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 4: the artists do it. Some of the bigger artists, you know,

1102
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 4: some of the more strategic, strategic and how they do it.

1103
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: Some can hide their ulterior motives a little more than others.

1104
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 4: H you know, I'm like, I'm I'm split down the

1105
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 4: middle on it because part of me I just appreciate

1106
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 4: that we don't get looked down on like we used to,

1107
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 4: you know, the Houston culture, you know what I'm saying.

1108
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 4: So even if someone's faking it, I just appreciate that

1109
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 4: they showing us love, you know. But then there's the

1110
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 4: flip side of well, if you really got loved for us?

1111
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 4: Why you ain't got no songs or no stars?

1112
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: This and that?

1113
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: You know, then the other flip side is this, you

1114
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: know some of these artists who they say.

1115
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 4: They don't have you know, all this person doesn't know songs, Well,

1116
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 4: they do have songs with Houston artists, it's just not

1117
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know because I'm one of those

1118
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 4: people where they used to always get on Travis Scott.

1119
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: I gotta I'm on Travis Scott's song.

1120
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 4: So every time someone say, man, how come Travis Scott

1121
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 4: ain't never putting a boy from you songs out?

1122
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 2: And I'll be like, well, damn, what about me? So

1123
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 2: I make it just brought you off to Yeah yeah, yeah,

1124
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 2: yeah for sure.

1125
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 4: I mean the other side too, is that, you know,

1126
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 4: when it comes to this, some of these artists be

1127
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 4: on to come up, and you know, like I might

1128
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 4: have had an opportunity to, you know, to do something

1129
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 4: with this artists when they want to come up, but

1130
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, I don't.

1131
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 2: Well, now the artist blows up. Remember that, I remember

1132
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 2: that I lost my opportunity. That's my chance. You know,

1133
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 2: there's a window opportunity. I lost it.

1134
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean it is what it is.

1135
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 4: It's all good, you know, and that's not just with me.

1136
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 4: That's what anybody is on and somebody trying to come

1137
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 4: up under you.

1138
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 7: So but you can't put everybody on though, So yeah,

1139
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 7: and like like I said, you can try your heart

1140
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 7: ist to put somebody on and they still don't you know,

1141
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 7: you know, we can't choose what the people gonna like.

1142
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1143
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, Now you dealt with a lot of traumas in

1144
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 5: your life. And I was watching a podcast where you

1145
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 5: sit down with Quincy and Fuzzy and you opened up

1146
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 5: about your logical dad, who was, you said, a serial

1147
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 5: child molester.

1148
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: Yes, what effect did that have on you?

1149
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 4: That had a huge effect on me one, growing up

1150
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 4: with a single mother, having a very small family.

1151
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: It made us, you know, tight knit.

1152
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 4: It made me appreciate family, It made me always want family.

1153
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 4: It made me aware I was hyper aware of you know,

1154
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 4: like the molestation type of stuff, you know. And it

1155
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 4: also made me become an advocate, you know, as I

1156
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 4: got older in life. You know our teeno, my girl

1157
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 4: Ms Parker from Parents Against Predators. We do a lot

1158
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 4: in the community just in regards to that, but just personally,

1159
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 4: what it did to me was from as long as

1160
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 4: I can remember. It instilled something in to me to say,

1161
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be a good father. No matter what, I'm

1162
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 4: gonna be a good father. I'm not gonna let anything

1163
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 4: come between me and my kids.

1164
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: I hope one.

1165
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 4: I used to pray for one day to have kids

1166
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 4: like I Literally I tell my kids all the time

1167
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 4: on their birthdays, like, man, I used to pray for you,

1168
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 4: you know. So it always would make me like want

1169
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 4: to be a good father and made me want to

1170
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 4: be the best father I could be. Also meant that

1171
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 4: interview too. After that interview came out, I found out

1172
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 4: I got a cousin because somebody.

1173
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: Seen it and it was like, hey, we saw you

1174
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: thought your aunt, no cousin.

1175
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 2: You got a cousin.

1176
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: So, you know, I'm real grateful for that.

1177
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 4: I got to, you know, my cutshoute to my cousin

1178
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 4: Jeana and her whole family of kids, all of them.

1179
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 2: Man.

1180
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, it definitely was something that you know, was

1181
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 4: heavy on me my whole life. Also, you know, it

1182
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 4: makes you realize that some people are walking around with

1183
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 4: trauma and you don't know it, you know. So it

1184
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 4: makes you, you know, just because somebody has a smile,

1185
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 4: doesn't mean they're happy. You know, just because somebody has

1186
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 4: a frown or a mean look doesn't mean they're mad

1187
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 4: at you. They could be going through something. So you know,

1188
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 4: it just it just it definitely taught me a lot.

1189
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:02,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, and your mom was a strong woman. You said

1190
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 5: your mom had y'all so scared that your dad would

1191
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 5: come and kidnap you. Oh yeah, yeah, because he had

1192
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 5: kidnapped the woman and married her.

1193
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he kidnapped her. He kidnapped her a woman.

1194
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 2: Man.

1195
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this girl was twelve years old and he

1196
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 4: kidnapped when she was fifteen. And I don't know, man,

1197
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 4: he got some type of judge to sign off on

1198
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 4: the marriage, took her to Canada. Then next thing, you know,

1199
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 4: something happened. They came back. You know, it's a tragic story.

1200
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 4: She ended up committing suicide when she came back, and

1201
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 4: you know, it's sad. The crazy thing about dad is

1202
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 4: that at that time, you know, we would see my

1203
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 4: father on the weekend, my biological follow on the weekends

1204
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 4: or every other weekend. So sometimes we go over there

1205
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 4: and it'd be like, oh, his new girlfriend's over there,

1206
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 4: and I'm you know, four years old, I don't know.

1207
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: You know, but it's a twelve year old in the

1208
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: wig would make up.

1209
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 2: You know. We know that now, but at the time

1210
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 2: we don't know that.

1211
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking, oh, this is my dad's you know,

1212
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 4: girlfriend or something, and it's it's so crazy to think

1213
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 4: like that. Damn you that close to you know that,

1214
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 4: but you know, four years old, you do. You don't

1215
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 4: even know what's wrong, you know what's going on, but

1216
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 4: it's just it's it's tragic, just you know. Of course

1217
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 4: that was my biological father, so it was hard for me,

1218
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 4: but I mean, of course it's worse for the girl,

1219
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, or whoever he did something too.

1220
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 4: So I never looked at myself like I was like

1221
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 4: a victim or like even the trauma I experienced, I

1222
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 4: kind of like put it under the rug. I feel

1223
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: more for the victims that he hurt, you know what

1224
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like, damn, like what about them?

1225
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't really look at it like my own.

1226
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 4: But for sure my mom she used to We used

1227
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 4: to walk around with an air horn like tied around

1228
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 4: my neck so that if you man, this is when

1229
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 4: kindergarten cop came out to and then you get it.

1230
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 2: Man.

1231
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: So I was sure terrified that I was.

1232
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 4: Gonna get kidnapped. And I remember one time one time

1233
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 4: me and my sister went home. He was like during

1234
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 4: the summer or it was like something when my mom

1235
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 4: was doing something and we just at home, and I

1236
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 4: remember my biological dad came to the door, knocked on the.

1237
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,320
