00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,560

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: going on in case you don't know where then were

22
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: told ab that now you you were like the cash

23
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: money period, were like the inventors of like being independent definitely,

24
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: So how did how did how did you guys go

25
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: from like, you know, being in New Orleans being independent

26
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: and to you know, universe who getting wind of you

27
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: guys and then coming on and the difference between independence

28
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: before you guys, like the Ruthless records and the records,

29
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: but what was the difference from them to you guys.

30
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: I kind of studied all the guys who did it

31
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: before me, but just to bring you to the essence

32
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: of where I come from, how we come up, Um,

33
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, just growing up in the boys home and

34
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, just being in the streets of my life.

35
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: You know, we lost a lot. So I just felt

36
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: like when the university approached us, I was already five

37
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: six years independent, and I felt like we had blood

38
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: on this money already. So I refused to give up anything.

39
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, I was a young man and that was

40
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: my mentality to that. You know, Um, it wasn't about

41
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: the money. It was about me being able to own

42
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: my ship. And I just felt like we lost so

43
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: much the gang so little, so none of that ship

44
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: even didn't even matter to me. That's what it is,

45
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna be. If not, I could continue

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: doing what I was doing because I was making millions

47
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: of dollars a month anyway, So when I went up

48
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: to the New York to visit with whoever we were

49
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: gonna visit with, it was gonna be my way or

50
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: no way. I will no way. Per Wow, how did

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: you develop that mentality? Because so many people at the time,

52
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: um baby was they were getting advances and they were

53
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: happy with that and going something, you know, a couple

54
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: of a couple of cars and sneak. How did you

55
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: see the bigger picture? Now everybody wants to be black,

56
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: But she was doing this ship And when summers Ago

57
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: trying to say I came in the game, it was

58
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: just like I just felt like, you know, but I

59
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: lost so much, but I lost standing my whole family,

60
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: and then much of my partners and all the niggas

61
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: to me died to see me be successful or see

62
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: us be successful. So I felt like, how could I

63
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: give somebody something that they didn't work hard for? Man?

64
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: That me was, how can I give anything up that

65
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: people died for So I went up. There was that

66
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: mentality and and there was gonna be that or nothing.

67
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: He wasn't hurt you for the money. We was already

68
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: making millions of dollars a month. It wasn't about the money.

69
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: I still wanted up great deal harder than that, because, um,

70
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: in the beginning, you know, hip hop was in the

71
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: East Coast and didn't win West Coast and didn't went south.

72
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: But even when it went south to the wild for

73
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: it to calm to Louisiana, you understand, I'm saying, So

74
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: how hard was that? Even when it went it kind

75
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: of like went to Texas first, and so how hard

76
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: was it? You got to see the ghetto boys? You

77
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: got to see them. Yeah, I was inspired through all that.

78
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Button New Orleans always had a culture, right. We was

79
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: able to about a week move and do what we do.

80
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: Drew out Old New Orleans, Texas, Atlanta, throughout the South

81
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: Alabama on the area. So for us, we were still

82
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: generating a lot of money, and it just we were

83
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: putting out a lot of music every month. So once

84
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: I got the hustle of it, and it was spreading.

85
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: So you know, back in them days, you had to

86
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: do it from the turf. You had to be in

87
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: the ghetto with that ship, every neighborhood, every project in America.

88
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: We didn't been in the motherfucker. So for me and

89
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: for us, we were just trying to really just get

90
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: out together, all right. And I found the house of

91
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: which was music, and we just stuck with it, kept it. Pemper,

92

Speaker 1: little little more. To be honest, he was shot back then.

141
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: You don't remember he was he he he used to talk.

142
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,560

145
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: But you told me that years ago when juven I

146
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,280

147
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,800

148
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: talent like that, I just think it's one of my gifts.

149
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: You know, I can see that ship before they see

150
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: it in their selfs and and I believe in it,

151
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: and I give my all to it, and then we

152
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: ride with it until we make it happen. That this

153
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it's gonna happen fast. And everybody, we

154
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: didn't come up in the social media era and you

155
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: had to do that ship in a different way. But

156
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,319

Speaker 1: I'm gonna work with him and we're gonna hustle real hard.

241

Speaker 1: album coming out either April or maybe whenever he choose

245
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,360

00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: big things out there, young man. And it's gonna be

247

00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: he was taking this route around like with the Kanye ding.

266

00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: because you know again at the time, New York was

297
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: running ship so much that like they didn't really acknowledge

301
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: looking at you know, New Orleans from here on that.

302
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: I hon't sleep, bro. We was young, and we didn't

303
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: give a fun. We were just young, excited to be

304
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: out of the project. I used to have a bus

305
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: with at least a hundred with me. My whole neighborhood

306
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: was whatever. So we wasn't already tuned into what we

307
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: was doing. We were just happened to be out together

308
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: making money and we could buy our mom's houses and cars.

309
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: We wasn't tuned into after all, that ship. So like,

310
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: now let's take you know, we're gonna take this ship

311
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: serious and get jigged with it. Let's see that we

312
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: can make a hunting million, a couple of hundreds of

313
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: billion dollars in this ship. But when we was doing

314
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: them towards we were just running around having fun getting money,

315
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: not really the stores, popping chap We were just enjoying

316
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: that ship, just to be you're just like a dream

317
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: come true because the ship happened at a real young

318
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: age for all of us. But when we got all

319
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: that money like that nigga thought they was dreaming. Facts,

320
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: how old when you got the deal of just signed

321
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: my deal? I probably was nineteen making twenty. Why ain't

322
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: I've been playing with millions of dollars since there was

323
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen years old. Man, So we grew up in business,

324
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: they've been. I've been with Universal twenty three years and

325
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: I was seven years independently before that. So you know,

326
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: it ship been like we grew our life up in

327
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: the music business and at a young age playing with

328
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Wow. Wow that that that sucked

329
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: me up. Just now, that that sucked me up. So

330
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: at some point, right it looked at like like Juvenile

331
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: had laughed or turk Cat laugh for me he had left.

332
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: It looked like it was just you, Manny and Wayne.

333
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: At one point Did you have any doubt? You know,

334
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: because at the time Wayne was not the man, definitely,

335
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: and I remember him like somewhat put in cash money

336
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: on his back. But again that was like, you know,

337
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: it's like your son, So are you thinking like this

338
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: is the one or that I'm thinking this is the

339
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: one because this is my son. When all that ship

340
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: took place, bro um kind of fun with me because

341
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: I never thought it could have meeting people like you know,

342
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: we just go separate North hard, we come up and

343
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: we really started with nothing and not blessed. I gave

344
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: my life to this ship, and I honestly gotta put

345
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: my everything online. If I was gonna die, I was

346
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: gonna die, but I had to kill. I was gonna

347
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: whatever had to be done. I was with that ship. Um.

348
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: So when it did happen the same day, having Wayne

349
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: came to me like, because I was in my feelings

350
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: about this ship, like y'all niggas know what it is. Nigga,

351
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: y'all know what it is. Y'all know what it is.

352
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: He was like, Man, fuck them niggas. Man, I'm better

353
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: than all them niggas together. Anyway, that ship woke me up.

354
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, right, the nigga, let's go.

355
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: And that ship turned me up. When you never looked back,

356
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: and what's the first record when you've seen, like from

357
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: that moment that you've seen Rain performed. He was like,

358
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: I just think it was right, and he right, he

359
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: was dropping mixtapes when I went to a show and

360
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the words now I'm just peeping him.

361
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm just peeping him because I'm used to always being

362
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: on stage with him. So he was like, I got

363
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: this tonight, you chill, I want you to watch me. Wow.

364
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: When I saw that ship, I was like, let's go.

365
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: I knew he had it, always knew he had at it.

366
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: But honestly, you know, with all the love and respect

367
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: um situations diversity and make a man be a man

368
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: and make you stand and losing them man man waynet

369
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: just go harder. And there was situations. So it really

370
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: turned him into a monster because at first he had

371
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: the build monster, but when they left, he was gonna

372
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: eventually be who was gonna be. But the leaving ship

373
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: made a nigger just be more creative and do their

374
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: own thing. And one thing about cash money was like

375
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: um uh, like you said, he was influenced by Jay Prince,

376
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: like I seen y'all was influenced by excuse me, excuse me.

377
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: I was thinking he was in ghetto boys because me,

378
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: but um, you guys always somewhat did your own thing,

379
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: Like when we see you'll come out with the helicopters.

380
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: They think it's we're thinking like that because like helicopters

381
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: and um what what developed that was? It was? Was? Was?

382
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: Was it because they had other people who popping from

383
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: New Orleans like competition just our early days. But I

384
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: would just painting my life in our ether day. All

385
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: that ship was me just saying, fucking this is how

386
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm living. That's what we're doing. Is how we're tuk

387
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: them with it. We're gonna get helicopters, all kind of

388
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: ships and puts in. But that was just a fantasy.

389
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: And Nigga head as a kid just want to live

390
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: life a certain weight. And I put that ship and

391
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: turned in into reality. Ever you ever thought it would

392
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: be this big though you you you have expectations, but

393
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: when you live in it, it's something totally different. In

394
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: our first expectation was just getting out together and then

395
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: as you live in you know, every day of life

396
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: is as an experience because I never lived life like this.

397
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, I come from the slums with

398
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: this ship. So any one of these all this is

399
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: they come from the slums too. So every day of

400
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: life is an experience because Nigga never lived life like this.

401
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: So for me, now, I didn't think it, but once

402
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: I've seen we could do it, I went for it.

403
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't understand. Like you'll see

404
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: a new artist, you'll put him in the studio with you,

405
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: your hang out with him, Like what what do you develop?

406
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: Like just show a love like even like with Young

407
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: Dog and Rich Homie Kwan like, um, like you show

408
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: love to them like you. I don't think you had to,

409
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: I think, but how do you developed that? You know

410
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? It was true somebody else, but I

411
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: saw the talent and thug Doug about the other board

412
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: to the game, but it was always what I saw

413
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: in him, solid soldier, real gangster, funk with him till

414
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: the day. That's my partnm of that brother. But I

415
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: saw so much talent in him at a young age.

416
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: He was nineteen when I met him, and I just

417
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: felt like, with my platform, we can make it my

418
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: stock and the birl ain't seen no ship like this

419
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: sill and we started that rich gang ship. But it

420
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: was really about him, definitely. God that God damn, I God, damn.

421
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean I want to take it back. I want

422
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: to know what in New Orleans and in the days

423
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: when it was y'all and no limits, how was that

424
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: for us that don't know, you know, what's it ever like?

425
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: Because we know it's competition, But what's it ever like?

426
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: You know it was beef or something like that. Well,

427
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: certain artists cash money limit that ship was real. Yeah,

428
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: they ain't sunk with us. When Klio Magnolia pro ship,

429
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: really it was a project beef like a different We're

430
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: from two different projects, so right, that's what I'm saying.

431
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: It just didn't never mix. And me and his relationship

432
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: never mixed. Maybe the artist is, but we didn't funk

433
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: with each other, so they couldn't sunk with each other.

434
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: But not because it was beef or was there a

435
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: little We just ain't never vibe and no beef, ain't

436
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: nobody dead, you're in it, but we just didn't never vibe.

437
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: To this day, we just never vibe. Goddamn all getting

438
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: me wrong. I got the most respectful you know, for

439
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: my same cities. So Niggas then came up and he

440
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: did some ship. Nigga's still trying to do it out

441
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: thirty five albums in one year, you know me, So

442
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: that's a lot of hustling but that's solute to everything

443
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: he's doing. Are not damnit go damn. That's respect about that.

444
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: So you're rebuilding this, Wayne is taking the flag ship.

445
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: Now who comes first, Drake or Nikki? Because when Wayne,

446
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: obviously Wayne had to come to you and say, you know,

447
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: because you're you know, you're sever the bigger company. So

448
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: Wayne has to say, bird baby, we're gonna side next.

449
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: Who comes first, Nikki or they both came at the

450
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: same time? Damn? Oh? So that's it was that like

451
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: the Young Money Star Money. Yeah, so you you look,

452
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 1: money was already around they want because yeah, you had

453
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: like who was the guy j Males? No, they come after,

454
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: they come after all. But Young Money was squad up

455
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff was doing. But your money

456
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: was just an imprint until we felt like it was time,

457
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: until we found Drake and nick and then so what's

458
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: your first impression for Drake? Because at this time, right Nicky,

459
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, there's other artists from Queens, there's other artists

460
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: from New York. Maybe you guys ain't work with something,

461
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: but there's other artists in New York. You identify that

462
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: there is no other let nigga from Canada, not at

463
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: the time. Not at the time big up. My brother

464
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: called it out of Fisher was don't want you to

465
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: st so but you know what I'm saying, there's no

466
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: because so this is actually he was already an actor.

467
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: He was an actor, but he was an actor or

468
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: some ship. No one that was, you know, but in

469
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: Canada they know about it. So what's the first thing

470
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: that pops in your mind setting down Canada? Niga Canada.

471
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: It was a name. I ain't even know where it

472
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: was from. I would like that nigga cold, I said.

473
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: The first day I met him, I told him he

474
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a legend. He said, for real. I said, Nigga,

475
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: are ready a legend? That nigga bad. He come in

476
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: the game as a bad man. When I just heard

477
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: this mix tape. That was the first tape he ever done.

478
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: He eventually farmed to be who he is, but they

479
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: won when we met him. He wasn't who he is

480
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: not but the first first. But that's two different machines.

481
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: They do music in two different ways. See, Wayne started

482
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: something with that song postitute. Niggas wasn't singing back then.

483
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: Niggas was still rapping and he did that prostitute and

484
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: that kind of changed the game. But Drake already was

485
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: doing all this ship. So when he came in. Over

486
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: a period of time, Drake been around with us ten

487
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: twelve year he farmed into something that what he is

488
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: right now, super super superstar. Now Nikki is you said,

489
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: came at the same time. Your first pressure of Nikki

490
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: was when we first seen it. He showed me a

491
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: DVD the same day with d I'm assuming okay, the

492
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: same day we did a men the first week on

493
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: called the three I think, called a two and called

494
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: the premature ever won that world um, and we flew in.

495
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: I just seen something in uh and he really seen.

496
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: He brought it to me like we got she gonna

497
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: be the female on our young Money. But you can

498
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: see but being around Nick and she eventually farmed into

499
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: something right because we give them so much freedom to

500
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: be whoever they want to be, and she farmed into

501
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: Barbie now moving around a little bit. Have you ever

502
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: like you know, tried to make an artist artists and

503
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: it just didn't work. And just everything you could do

504
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: the music business, brow of ship you do might not

505
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: work exactly. You know. I've been with Jack Que's four

506
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: or five years to it even you know with Tucker

507
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: and I've been with Wayne, Way ain't had the longest

508
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: running all of them. Wint was around ten fifteen, twelve

509
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: years before he He always was successful until he took

510
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 1: it though. You know, like Nicki and Draking them, they

511
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: popped off top, they went straight up. You know, Wayne

512
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: had a longer rode before he maybe because the ambition

513
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,239
Speaker 1: was hired and they wanted to go where Jay was at.

514
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: They dont wanted to see what they feel to be

515
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: up there, and that's what nigger shot to. That's what

516
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: boys on that rap ship as far as that rape

517
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna went up with it. Where do you put

518
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: cash money when you can get to like a death

519
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: row a bad boy? Anybody? Where do you wait yourself?

520
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: To me, with all respect to everybody that ever did

521
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: this it, none of them have done more than me.

528
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: seventy five million on iTunes. I found, as I said,

529
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: I felt like I felt I got checking my account

530
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: just now. A lot of the hood cantle did it

531
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: before me, but I respect what they did and how

532
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: they've done it. And I looked at all of them

533
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to be better and do better.

534
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: And you know, the crazy ship is when I when

535
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: when I have baber Shop talking up when the cameras

536
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: ain't around, and you know, they compare you guys to

537
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: the Jay's, and they compare you to the to the

538
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: to the ditties and everybody. The difference between you is

539
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: you did it mainly on music. I did it all music, music, music,

540
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: Goddamn it, goddamn. When they gave it up, I hugged

541
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: it right. This was the life I wanted, just the

542
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: life I chose, and I refused today to give it up.

543
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: I love it, wow. I love the hustle of music.

544
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: I love to take young black men and make them

545
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: successful when got nothing. That's an ambition for me to

546
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: see the talent and a young man who see it

547
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: in their self. But I'm gonna believe in them and

548
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: show the world what they got within them. That should

549
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: have rushed from me. Right, How do those deals that

550
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: you created early on that were monumental change when for

551
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: the streaming era, Like if you have to adjust what

552
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: you were doing or reapproach it. Hey, streaming is the

553
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: best thing that ever happened to the game, because now

554
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: you could, you know you could. It's more money in it.

555
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: It's more money in this game now than ever been.

556
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: So for a young man who's streaming, he don't need

557
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: all the things we needed back in the genie nigga

558
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: could be doing that ship off of YouTube and social media,

559
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: or get him a bag. It's so plentiful now all over.

560
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: It's the money is. You know, the money just way

561
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: up for these youngsters. You could do more what I

562
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: did in thirty years. I could do it in five years.

563
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it again in five years. It's a

564
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: different game. It's a faster I prefer to then because

565
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: it makes me appreciate it, because I put in the

566
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: body of work for that ship. But now it's a

567
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: different hustle to me. It's easier, but it's more plentiful.

568
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: It's more money for everybody. It's a different game. And

617
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: this crazy stuff, right, those moms take over, right. But

618
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: then there's a moment where you and Wayne is together

619
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: and y'all hug each other. Why do you think the

620
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: Internet and blow that moment up more than they blowing

621
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: And this is just this is just honest, you know

622
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Because if if they're gonna blow up,

623
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: you know what they think went wrong when when they

624
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: see that moment that it was corrected. Why do you

625
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: think the Internet don't give it the same energy. I

626
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I must have been talking too long, but

627
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: I really don't know. And I never get caught up

628
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: in the internet ship. I don't give a funk about

629
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: none of that. Right, I'm gonna live my life how

630
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: I live my life. Wayne. Oh, I love him like

631
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: a son. To the other day, you know, we communicated

632
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: and my son to me before I et man, my

633
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: own son, it was my son. So um, I don't

634
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: I really don't give a funk about no Internet, and

635
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: I always take the lick, but fucking I'm still standing up.

636
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna still be a man. I'm gonna live it

637
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: like that. You always sort of stood that ground like

638
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: Wayne is my son, at like you never had caught

639
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: a moment where you got mad, because like you said,

640
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: like you know, a lot of moments I got mad.

641
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: But still when you look at it, when you look

642
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: at somebody that were considering it was sunny, you gotta

643
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: suck that ship up. And no matter how I felt,

644
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: I sucked it up. You know, he and I was

645
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: feeling some kind of way, but it didn't matter. I

646
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: just sucked the ship up and kept it moving. The

647
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: only thing I could do is just keep hustling because

648
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: I knew, man, it was gonna adventure to get back together.

649
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: You kept saying that I wasn't worried about that, But

650
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: for me as a man and what I got in

651
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: this game for I just wanted to keep hustling and

652
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: keep making talent throughout all the storm. That one of

653
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: the people that was vocal Um when you guys were beefing,

654
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,959
Speaker 1: and then one of the perfect that was vocal after

655
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: you guys, like you know, gave that hug. Was Ross

656
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: right now, Ross Um, when you guys gave that hug

657
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: and you guys squashed it, Ross tweeted out. I think

658
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: he instagrammed he said that was honorable. So I guess

659
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: that was his way of apologizing to you. Do you

660
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: do you accept his apology or for the track? For

661
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: I guess whatever he was saying, because I just came

662
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: up and my mom fucking business. I don't get into

663
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: other nigga business. I'm in a music business and my

664
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: niggas business from another nigga, another nigga business. To me,

665
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: that's a violation. That's how I come up, man, You

666
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,720

00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,319

678
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: have you ever received slack for like having the tattoos

679
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: like on your face or chose a funk right when

680
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: I put them on my face? I ain't give a funk.

681
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: I did that ship at fifteen. I knew I was

682
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: gonna be a dopeboard when I was born. I never

683
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: my pops was a dopeboard. That's what I always that

684
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: put tests in his face. It ain't too much more

685
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: ship you could do as you're gonna be. There ain't

686
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: too many doors you can go in. I perhaps to

687
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: choose hip hop so I could walk indoors with this

688
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: ship on my face. But at first, you know it

689
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: was gonna be a dopeboy From me, that was it

690
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: was for me? What was it ever a little awkwardment

691
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: when Dog and Wayne wasn't getting along, we talked a

692
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: lot about that ship. But I nicked that ship in

693
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: the But you know, Wayne, my son, it Doug like

694
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: my let brother. So to me, that was to me

695
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: that I was like a family situation. That ship wasn't

696
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: gonna go nowhere. It was gonna be. It was gonna be,

697
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: and we're gonna leave that alone and get back to it.

698
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: My whole thing was to get them to work together.

699
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: That was my plan was At that time. We were

700
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: going through changes with artists with the Young Money Cash

701
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: when the ship, so I went to embrace you know,

702
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: thug them and went to Atlanta and started the Risk

703
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: Game ship. But my plan was always supposed to get

704
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: them to work together. Now us in uh New York City,

705
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: we had this group at one point called Murder Thinking.

706
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: It was jay Z, it was job at DMX. We

707
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: were supposed to go make an album. You think Wayne

708
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: greg and think you would ever make an album like

709
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: that Dad plans. They did a few songs, but you know,

710
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: you never know everybody, brother, everybody is in so many

711
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: different directions. But Nigga's playing with hundreds of niggas of dollars,

712
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: so you know, it's a lifestyle with that ship. Wayne

713
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: got this life, Nikki got a life, Drake out a life,

714
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean Drake got his life. So everybody's in different

715
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: areas doing different things. But so for them to come

716
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: together the door, is it possible? Yeah, definitely, But will

717
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 1: it happen. I don't know. They're just too fucking business.

718
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: Just everybody doing their thing, you know, everybody. You know.

719
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: In younger days, we probably could have did it easier.

720
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: But now you remember Nick's playing with hundreds of millions

721
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: and they all got tours and scheduling. But honestly, I

722
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: think it could that should have happened because they're the

723
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: most retalented in the game. Now. Colin on his way

724
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: to Superstar, I don't know if I've pronounced his name

725
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: right there, I said it right, Yeah, on his way

726
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: to Superstar him he was on he want on Cosh,

727
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: then he had a ree time on cash Money, and

728
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: now he's just it's just you know, big huge mobile. Um,

729
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: how was the experience? Like? What what? What? What called it? On?

730
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: He's still same nigga? Yeah I met him. I was

731
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: Canada hustling, and when the nigga hustle, what you could

732
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: do but respect it. Yeah, they're gonna find a way,

733
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: get away, make away. That's the only thing I could

734
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: say about me at a real hustle. You're gonna get

735
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: it and you're cool still to this day, because I

736
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: think Bross has said something on the record or something.

737
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: It man. I always did good with Cataklager speaking on me,

738
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: and think made millions of dollars with me with one another.

739
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: They ain't never gave him a penny. I was putting

740
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: millions in his pockets. I always did good bye. I'm

741
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: doing any any young organizations that you see right now

742
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: coming up that you feel like y'all back when y'all started.

743
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: I like what Pete doing with QC. I like when

744
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: ain't doing. I always felt like we need more CEOs

745
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: in the gang. I really like what he got going on.

746
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: He hustling, and I like what top Dog Bill, you

747
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean over that, what he got going on,

748
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's great keeping that legacy on West alive.

749
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: And I like what young Doug farming into because he's

750
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: finding talent doing this thing. Um, you're gonna see a

751
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: lot of that from Jack Queens. I think you're gonna

752
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: see a lot of that from the new artists, and

753
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: the youngsters gonna be putting Nigga's own, gonna be putting

754
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: their own brands on. I think that's what's gonna keep

755
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: this ship going at a heavy pace. It's when star

756

869
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: very beginning, but like from the ninety I was saved

870
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,600

871
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: I seen y'all, right, the party situation, that's the reason

872
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: why people ever noticed, like we're supposed to be media

873
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,160

878
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: should should tell you the truth, like when it comes

879
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,320

886
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: I would never cross that line. Like I always looked

887
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: at him as a sun. So I could have ever disrespected.

888
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be a man, That wouldn't be a father.

889
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying. I'll never disrespect some mind. I

890
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: called it my son, so I would never I just

891
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: suck it up. I didn't. So how initially did you like?

892
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: Kind of um? Fix it was? We talked, talked a

893
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: couple of times. Um, that was important to me that

894
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: you know. I started with Wayne. I gave my all

895
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: to my son and he gave his all of me

896
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: so to me for me to continue to do this business,

897
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: I had to fix that with him. That was the

898
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: time I didn't want to speak on it. I wanted

899
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 1: to speak about y'all, you know, fix it the situation

900
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: because UM, so much in community, it's always the bad

901
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: part that's promoted. But where when the good part happens?

902
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: Why then we don't show with that same energy, you

903
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So, like I said, I commend

904
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: you on that, commended him on that. I commend your brothers.

905
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: Um you know, back to find a situation because the

906
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: one thing you don't ever want to do is, you know,

907
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: let your family members to be affected through money. You

908
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because that's gonna come and go.

909
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: But now I just getting a little um awkward. How

910
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 1: are you and Tiger stand? Because I though he was

911
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: supposed to be signed to the label or something like that,

912
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: and he said that he was on Interscope or some ship. Uh,

913
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's a whole another movie. Okay for the movie.

914
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,480
