You know, um imam 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.080 at that time running the fo I at that time, 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.640 and you know, the movement that we had on was 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:33.280 was was going against what my grandfather movement was. And 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.199 so he made us make a choice. You're gonna do 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.599 that if you're going to do the street vibe and 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.599 and take away from the positivity that I'm putting in 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.240 the community, I gotta leave or you're gonna have a 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.240 problem with us. And those are the triple rolls, right 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.480 And so um my uncle Juan, you know, he uh 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.840 had this artist that he was talking about, d MX, 0:11:55.960 --> 0:12:00.240 Hollom Nights, a couple of artists and then we just 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.160 you know, changed the whole direction into a positive way. 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.280 Still keep the street now. DMX was like the first 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.200 artist that rough Rider signed, correct, Yes, um, I mean 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.439 that got signed to a major label. Yeah, and before 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:18.480 the Locks Yeah they were no no, no, no, was 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:26.520 it locks first first? Yeah? It was. It was first 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.200 with rough Riders. Lux has been X has been first, 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.360 Blocks was X pops. You understand That's how I said 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.080 it on here too. Yeah, that's that's that's that's how 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.480 that went. But I can't say that was concurrent. I 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.920 can't say that my uncle Y had them in the 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.120 studio at the same time. You know, I remember hearing 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:48.040 more songs from the locks Uh studio done than X. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.760 X was more mixtape vibe at that particular time, and 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.600 I love both of them. Remember, I wish I can 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.920 get those beginning mixtapes that I heard from them, because 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.319 it's just it was is there was in a very 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.280 authentic space at that time. Is so authentic and X 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.679 being like he's like, there's never be another X. But 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.520 what I'm asking you is, did you know that from 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.560 the beginning, Yes, I did from the beginning, like even 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.160 before like he met with Leo with the box calling 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.560 right there, who got the phone? Yeah, I got your 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.920 killing that on Instagram. But so from the beginning, you 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.240 knew this guy would change hip hop. And let me 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.640 tell you how much I knew that. I knew it 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.040 so much that I got kicked out of New York 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:54.040 schools um and I had to move to Atlanta. I 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.600 had that written down by the way kick out of school. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:02.319 And you know after that, I passed all the different 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.480 things I wasn't used to, the gang activity and all 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.480 those different things. I eventually landed back on my all 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.400 my music right, and the way that I survived and 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.760 that music. Ring was reciting X verses that nobody never 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.280 knew about. X was out of the time, or he 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.400 wasn't out, he wasn't out, But I just knew so 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.120 much of his lyrics that I was living through him 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.080 even in high school. And people were like, damn like, 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.440 and I'm like, ship ain't they ain't gonna never know 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.160 who excellent? So let me do my thing a little bit, 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.200 I know. And I just he was really living in 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.520 that street. That's why you said that, no, because I 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.760 just never thought that we would ever be uh as 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.440 far as we got, you know, I never I never 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.680 knew that we can get out that backyard that we 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.560 was in. I never knew that we can get out 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.160 that box that we was in, that mentality that that 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.200 we was in. So I was just having fun and 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:02.120 kind of paying homage to X and and freestyling because 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.640 I'm like, he's not here to say it. It's so 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:09.200 I'm gonna say it right. And to this day, that's 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.000 my dog. And I got a lot of great news 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.880 from him this year. His album is Crazy and and 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:19.760 and and I promise you it's going to it's going 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.040 to change the game. And I don't say that like 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.840 you know what I'm saying, like I downplay everything. But 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.520 I'm gonna tell you, like what Dog got to say 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.240 on this is it's going to go from the streets 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.440 to the Grammys and Charlotte. Like that's you know, because 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.680 like I go home perfect time right now. I go home. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.280 I go home to a very comfortable lifestyle that I 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:43.160 worked hard for, slept on studio floors, everything. And to 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.040 see my brother that I started with not be where 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.280 he should be. It fucks with me every night. So 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.320 I didn't use all the excuses that I could have 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.760 used not to know. We heard Room was a rock 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.160 nation at first, but now we're hearing epic, epic, epic 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.440 things are going on. I mean with the dog is 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.520 he's epic, He's an epic energy, he's an epic vibe, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.800 he's an epic inspiration. There's none before, none to come after. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.400 And we got to protect that by any means necessary. 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.120 And but I think the most important part is a 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.120 relationship with two brothers. It's like like the music, the music, 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:26.280 the music comes later. You know the fact that you 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.720 can reach and pull your brother up with you, and 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.000 and and walk. That same walk to me is more 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.160 than the money, more than a deal, more than music, 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.440 Like I funk with X right now because he's spiritually 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.960 and mentally ready. He's always been lyrically ready. If you're 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.160 not spiritually and mentally ready to go out to the world, 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.520 and it's a waste, it's a waste of time. Everybody 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.520 can want the return of him, but he got to 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.040 want to return for himself. But it's like, it's like 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.040 you're just saying because like everybody, you know, we see 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.720 you on the Graham and we have about luxurious life, 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.720 like you don't really have have to do a DMX album. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.200 So what really drives you? I think I do. I 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.440 think I do that because like money doesn't define you 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:16.119 or your lifestyle. It's like you know, when when you 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.879 go back and you look at the things that really 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:24.959 makes sense. It's brotherhood. You know. I know a lot 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.679 of rich billionaires and I call him poor kings. They 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.159 got big boats, hookers on them, no family, no nothing. 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.160 Is that really living life happy at all? They're not happy. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:40.440 I don't care about your money. Like I never even 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.040 did music for money. I did music for a feeling, 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.400 for an expression, for an outlet that I couldn't express 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.520 in an academic way. You know that I figured out 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.119 how to do in a creative way, you know, and 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.680 and I never and and I understood. I'm like, wow, 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.399 you know, this kid that's being quiet in class is 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:03.320 smarter than all of us. You understanding. We just gotta 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.359 give that person a chance to identify that. You know, 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.240 X has a long history of a lot of different 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.200 things that a lot of people are gonna understand in 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:16.520 this album. And you understand, like why he's who he is. 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.199 There's a reason from that, from birth, from the way 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.960 he was treated, from the way he was handled, from 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.920 the way he was delivered. That's the reason why X 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.080 sing like the way he is. It's not because he's 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:36.000 just uh portray in a certain style. People like to say, Yo, 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.920 EX is the closest thing to Pope. I said, X 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:43.840 is the closest thing to nobody. Nobody. Yeah, because many 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.920 million in the bank, right and then abandoned billings with 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.760 with with candles where we had to find out gave 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.040 his money away. He didn't blow his money. He gave 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.560 his money away to homeless people. I see this man 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.000 take shoes off his feet, sit down like this and 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.640 people in this room singing this. Out of this man, 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:05.120 I can't leave that stranded. Now, let's make some noise 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:11.120 to that guy there. Party shot time. Are we ready 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:16.920 for that? You know, put Paul some ice in my 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:22.080 check because you don't need arts, man, you need mccardi. 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.200 As the new year is people, let me tell you 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.240 something about the mccardi eight in three and three. You know, 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:32.440 I gotta I gotta activation called no commissions and no 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:36.360 commissions for the artists, for the artists. People. We give 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.120 a hundred percent back to the artists of what they said. 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.600 And let me give you a number. In the last 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.560 three shows, we gave back to the artists three million dollars. 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.680 So that's why we're gonna take this RICCARDI shot, you 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.480 understand for giving back to the artists and the people 0:19:52.119 --> 0:20:01.280 in their pocket chairs to that. Let's black gonna lie 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:08.119 shout to ko. It tastes like Puerto Rico. Remember Puerto Rico, Cuba. 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:14.200 Remember we come on man. I told him every party, 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:16.480 you wouldn't believe me when we first met. I believe you. 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:20.159 I've been believing you. I can't I can't believe that 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:23.119 I'm sending in front of my brother and at this table, 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:31.480 all this fucking shows me and mom wata here we 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:35.480 celebrate hip hop man And one of the craziest beasts 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:41.080 of all time to me was Jigga, what's my mother? 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.159 I can't curse on this show. Whatever you're going to 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.960 I'm like, you know, but listen. When I heard that, 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.399 I want to say, I thought you played it for 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:08.040 me once and it said Nori. But I'm bugging right, 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:12.520 I'm bugging but in my mind drunk face. But yo, dad, 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:19.320 do you remember Calfe? Calfe? I remember the first like 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:25.040 it came out. Flex had dropped it. Boom right, Flex 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:27.560 had it, and this is this is this time if 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:29.800 flex player record with New York City should go back 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:35.399 to what flex player record that right now? But let 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:37.960 me just say something. He played it. We ain't never 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.359 heard it. Flex played it, and it was like the 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:47.560 whole cit knew the record already, didn't dropped it. At 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.160 seven o'clock we went to the club everywhere like, yeah, 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.960 we knew little you know what I'm saying the hook, 0:21:54.600 --> 0:22:00.960 I have no idea. I never record close. But the 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:07.560 regular original record was Jada what it wasn't he ja? 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.680 And he didn't want it. He didn't want it. It 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:16.040 came out and we got into some words. Shout out 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:18.320 to Jada, Yo, did you have to drop a verse 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.040 on Yeah? I feel like you want to finish that stay. 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:22.520 He didn't drop a verse on that. But you know what, 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:27.360 that's what I shout out to Jada for giving back 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:29.720 those clothes to the homeless. When I get back to 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.680 New York, they're gonna give out like and even everybody 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.240 and that all this stuff that you got in your closet, 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.560 pull up the truck. Like, I shout to Jada for 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:45.119 that initiatives for that. Jada had Jigga first. That's what 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:47.800 it was. I think you played me, Jada. I think 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:50.760 that's what it was. And you know most of my records, damn, 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.320 most of my records, when they come out, they're not 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:59.359 who they were for, right, Like bringing him out was 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:04.479 when Beanie Ce who got out of jail. Oh right, 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:10.080 make sense, you know what I'm saying. Sense? But touch 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:12.840 it was for Eve I know. I heard Buster told 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:14.520 me that story. He doesn't touch it was for Eve 0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:18.639 Dn Max didn't like stop dry, you know what I'm saying. Like, so, 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:22.960 you know, none of my records really went to the 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:25.399 people that But do you know the impact of that, 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.520 what it did to the city. Yeah, because that was 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:31.520 like that was it. It was like Swiss is it 0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:34.960 if you ain't got a Swiss beat? Like for real? 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.520 Like it was like at that moment, and I trust me, 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:40.639 I want to claim it because I worked through them 0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:43.080 earlier time. You know what I'm saying, I want to 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:45.119 come but I remember that record was just saying like 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:53.000 Nori discovered me in the Neptune, not just playing around 0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:57.480 we under state right, thank you Swiss say that like 0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:01.800 I was, I was producing other people, but Nor was 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.560 spreading the word about who I was in a way 0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:07.359 I never I never, I've never seen an artist at 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:09.200 his level doing that for me. He was the first 0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:12.200 artist that people came back like, yo, Nor, he said, 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:13.919 we should be in the studio with you know who 0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.680 we're doing. I'm like, he was like, let me just 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:18.680 tell you something about that now, let me let me 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:21.240 just go back to bagging him because he was like 0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:26.120 eighteen seventeen. Because I'm thirty nine seventeen, I'm thirty eight, okay, 0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:28.560 so yeah, so I don't even know that close. Yeah, yeah, 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:33.000 I'm thirty nine yea. I looked and it was like, 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:36.440 you know, you know, but everybody thought I was older anyway. 0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:39.479 So this Nika paid me nothing. Now we're gonna get 0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:42.280 in the band from TV for nothing but fire like 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.040 and I'm talking about that's you know, I'm I'm gonna 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.159 get into a story. It's gonna sound crazy, but I 0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:52.960 developed what what? Because think about NA style at that time. 0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:56.080 He was cool. Think about Prodigy style at the time. 0:24:56.440 --> 0:25:00.960 He was cool, Havoc Stile cool, cap Home, my own partner. 0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:03.440 They were cool. And I was like, I'm not really cool, 0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:06.400 Like I mean, I'm cool, but I'm not like I'm 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:10.000 like a hyper guy. Makes sense, I'm developed what what? 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:13.480 So I needed somebody to compliment that with the energy, 0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:18.040 So I went there. We don't know. Bad from TV 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.560 was original record. It was supposed to be me and Nature, 0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:24.399 remember and Nature? I mean I had later verse and 0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.119 Nature couldn't get with the with the he had like 0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:30.840 wrote to some other song and he couldn't write the verse. 0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:34.399 So is he on it? No? No, No, he's what 0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:37.200 I'm saying. This is the It wasn't Bad from TV? 0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:42.600 Was someone? Then? Yeah, this is unless you're lady. This 0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:46.159 is all you and then like the last hour, I 0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:48.320 was like, yo, Nate, I can't just stay here. He 0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.280 was like, let me try another beat and he was 0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:54.639 doing band from TV. And from that moment on, I 0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:58.040 never seen a person writ over so fast. Nature wrote 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:02.560 that ship, didn't he droped him off? That ship was 0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:06.359 electric Like I'm like, and I hunt you murder. I 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:09.120 was mad at all of them because they didn't even 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:14.760 let the beat play. It was they to the introd like, 0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:20.080 what the bad TV? The beach I heard from Bad 0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:27.399 from TV is just the intro. I'm not gonna let 0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:30.359 the beat play like this is it right? I just 0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:33.240 got looped and then the intro got loop that's bad 0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:35.960 from TV. It was a beat that came after that. 0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:42.520 Why you understand? Like I never understand. I hurt my heart. 0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:45.640 Let me tell you how I remember it? Right. That's 0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:49.399 funny because I figured let me finish.

Like now, what was 0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:58.360 the closest memories of pluning just being on that couch 0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:04.680 and Sony Studio was an actual Lady Electric Lady Mine's 0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:08.240 last one was it was in Sony Studios in the 0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:11.320 East studio where it was because I remember he was 0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:15.320 the only person I would let use it because it 0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:17.920 was easy to get to. You own Sony studio at 0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:20.640 one time. That was that they built me a room 0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:25.520 like you know they it was good. You had the 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:29.080 room under the ground. That was room. That was the room. 0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:32.840 That was That was the jake good.

So I 0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:51.760 was charging you crazy money and you get happy with 0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:56.240 a crazy head. That was Attraction three. That wasn't the track. 0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:01.880 I just want to tell you, man, I'm just so 0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:04.320 proud of you. I've seen you from the beginning. I 0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:06.360 see now. This is a question I wanted to ask 0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:09.160 you because, like you said, your uncle's was these guys, 0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:12.240 it's in the streets, they started this music business. How 0:30:12.400 --> 0:30:14.800 was your first approach coming to them and saying, you 0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:18.200 know what I want to I'm gonna produce. So well 0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:19.720 it did. I didn't come to them. They came to 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:22.719 me because they was doing something they wanted. They were 0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:24.880 doing something positive and they knew I was doing music, 0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:27.840 and it was like, yo. My aunt was like, your 0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:32.360 uncles are starting this positive movement called rough Riders, and 0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:34.920 you should come up for the summer and and be 0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.400 a part of it. And I went up that summer 0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:39.920 and never went back to act and I went back 0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:42.960 to Atlanta. From that point before it was a record 0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:45.400 like music movement. This is now. This this is when 0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:48.760 it was becoming a label. And my aunt Chavan was like, yo, 0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:50.440 you know you're the only one in the family taking 0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:54.440 music serious. You should come up for the summer and 0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:56.280 see what it is about. I went up for that 0:30:56.440 --> 0:31:00.080 summer that as a rose over. I'm still I'm to 0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:03.320 I'm still I'm still moving off that plane ticket from 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:06.120 New York from to New York right now, you know 0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:08.479 what I'm saying. Like, you know, like at the end 0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:12.840 of the day, we all got opportunities, we all got chances, 0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.720 we all got chances, we all got opportunities. It's what 0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:19.880 we do with it. You understand, like we could take 0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:24.160 opportunities for granted, or we can understand that it's a 0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:30.160 once in a lifetime chance to be great. Are you 0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:33.000 willing to take that chance? Are you willing to go 0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:35.680 that far? I was sleeping on floors. I have bruises 0:31:35.760 --> 0:31:39.040 on my face, my shoulders, my elbows because I was 0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:41.200 down hungry to get to where I'm at today. And 0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:44.360 I still work like I have nothing today. You know, 0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:47.000 it's still like I've been at meetings since nine am, 0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:48.600 which is the reason why I got my shades on 0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.760 and another business. I'm in Harvard Business School right now, 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:56.720 accelerating my craft and accelrating, you know, my mental capacity 0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:59.480 because you know this, this all came to me early. 0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:02.480 You know, I didn't know what I was doing back then. 0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:05.560 So I'm like, I'm just starting now because i know 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:09.520 what I'm doing now, So I gave y'all three and 0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:13.840 fifty million records. So we're for not knowing what I'm doing, 0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:16.680 what you imagine when I'm ready to do right now? 0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:19.680 And I tell people like sky is not the limits 0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:21.520 of just a view, and you know, the thing is 0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:25.320 like the hood. We always want excuses of like why 0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:28.200 are we not in position? They got me like this, 0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:31.800 they got me like that, and they want me like this. 0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:36.160 Don't like man, figure it out. That same person complaining 0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:38.920 about something didn't look for a job that day, didn't 0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:41.040 pick up a book that day, didn't look for no 0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:43.560 inspiration that day. They want to sit on that stew 0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:46.080 like the pot of goal on falling their lap. And 0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:48.320 I'm not messing with none of those type of people. 0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:52.080 Anybody that's around me. They better have vision, they better 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.440 have a goal. And it's not just to lean on 0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:56.600 me because I'm not. I'm not. We're not doing I'm 0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:59.600 a grown ass man. You're grown man, You're healthy, Get 0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:06.480 out there and feed your family on your own. I 0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:10.760 also see you a Cassidy, y'all, y'all back together. That 0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:16.000 is dope that well, you know, I put Cassidy on 0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:18.960 punishment for a little bit because you know, I come 0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:22.400 from a place where this protocol and you know, there's 0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:28.000 consequences and there's different things that you know, uh, you 0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:31.080 can fly and can't fly. You know, I don't act 0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:33.920 tough in this music thing. I never came off as 0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:37.480 a threat, um, but but we could be a serious problem. 0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:40.480 You understand. I'm in here with you. I'm in here 0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:48.400 with my Bocardi family. Likely you know what I'm saying. Like, 0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:50.080 I'm not in here with a bunch of goons, a 0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:52.680 bunch of nothing. Like. I'm comfortable on my skin, and 0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:55.680 I come with great energy. I come with positive intentions. 0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:58.080 I don't come in here to fund on nobody's stunning 0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:01.200 on nobody. I'm gonna here dressed just like everybody in here, 0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:04.720 because like you know what we all hat, we respect 0:34:04.840 --> 0:34:08.520 that thing. I caught the Haitian hat right little, right now, 0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:12.399 a little, I say, you know what I'm saying, shout 0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:14.320 out to my Haitian crowd. Went out there to Haiti. 0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:17.120 You know, I did a great initiative there. I did 0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:20.560 the biggest event there for free for the people. Three 0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:23.359 hundred thousand people showed up, and I noticed didn't make 0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:27.160 the news, but there wasn't one stabbing, one shooting, one fight, 0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:30.160 all up and I just hate that that didn't make 0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:42.359 the news. One person was a drink chance. Yeah about say, yeah, 0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:49.839 I'm not gonna lie straight. It's good man, a cold 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:53.120 shot guy. Okay, let's get some ship. Okay, let's get 0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:59.440 somebod it's on his business day. That is good. Hit 0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:02.279 me later, you know. But like for me, one thing 0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:06.280 about Baccarti is like, you know, running all three hundred 0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:09.600 brands in the company as the global creative director, I'm 0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:12.640 not paying nobody to hold up no bottles. I don't 0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:16.080 even like that fire culture. You know, no disrespect to 0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:17.880 no other brand. Everybody got to do it how they 0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:20.080 do it. But one thing that we're doing at Baccarti 0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:25.080 is we're investing directly into the people, buy the artists, 0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:27.600 for the artists, with the people. You know. The fact 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.120 that we can say in three shows we gave back 0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:36.280 three million dollars. That's like, that's for real papers difference, 0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:40.520 Like let's make a difference paper, the fact that we're interacting. 0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:50.800 And but like you know, this is an educational platform 0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:56.600 as well, and I never thought that, excuse me, the 0:35:56.680 --> 0:36:00.600 creatives and a brand can mixed together. Because they're two 0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:03.880 selfish things. The artists want to be selfish on that 0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:06.760 side and the brand want to be selfish on that side. 0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:09.759 But the thing that we created with my partnership with 0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:15.680 Riccardia is equal agenda of just doing great things and 0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:19.279 this artists bass so like like this, like I mean 0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:21.760 like paintings, like the things like that, and No Commission 0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:25.600 is global. You know we just last year London, Yeah, yeah, 0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:29.399 we got Berlin this year due by you know, we're 0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:32.400 going to l A. You know, we're coming back to Miami. 0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:35.400 You know, we're looking at Shanghai. You know this this 0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:38.560 is this is a global tribute to let me ask 0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:41.839 you something, right, if I want to buy art there 0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:44.880 we go, how do how do I go about buying art? 0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:47.719 Call that your brother? Like but I'm just saying to 0:36:47.800 --> 0:36:50.160 like the people, not not me per se, but but 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.040 me per se. But not now, but like like like 0:36:53.160 --> 0:36:56.440 let's bo dude wants to invest into some art. What 0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:59.759 what should he look for? What he's doing first? And 0:37:00.000 --> 0:37:02.520 almost you know a lot of people think that art 0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:06.360 is just for rich people. And that's why No Commissions 0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:09.279 is great because we created the entry point. You know, 0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:11.400 there was people that I was able to come to 0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:14.080 no commissions and get things for a couple of hundred 0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:17.880 dollars a couple of thousands, or a couple of hundred thousands. 0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:21.439 You understanding, so that you know, we created the entry point, 0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:25.360 so you know the miscommunication with artists. How am I 0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:27.120 part of that? If I go in the gallery and 0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:31.160 everything is twenty thousand, but I got four thousand. So 0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:33.960 being that I don't got that twenty thousand, you don't 0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:35.640 want to talk to me. I can't be a part 0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:39.280 of this. I don't like that story. So we created 0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:41.560 a new story to where you could be living with 0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:44.759 your mother and participating no commissions. You can be on 0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:46.600 your way up and just trying to figure it out 0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:49.480 and participate. You can be the biggest of the biggest 0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:52.879 and participate. And the key thing is the entry point 0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:56.960 for the millennials because art is something that saved people lives. 0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:00.800 Art is a different type of communication. You understand, Like 0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:04.040 everybody can't communicate on an academic level, but you might 0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:07.600 have that person right there that can paint something so amazing, 0:38:07.680 --> 0:38:11.880 that can be a videographer, a photographer, you know, and 0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:14.880 just create. Some of them bring something extra to the 0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:18.720 world and that's the platform that I built that made 0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:22.160 me very dangerous to the art business and the galleries 0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:25.399 and different things like that. Because I created the entry point, 0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:28.600 I took away the stigmatism of So you're saying, because 0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:31.400 I remember Kanye because sort of saying like, but he 0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:34.400 was trying to um, you know, migrate from being like 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:38.040 just the artist to like to this colden field. Like 0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:40.200 he felt like he wasn't being respected. You're saying, that's 0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:42.720 the opposite with you when you go into the art field, 0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:47.600 because you're just basically given. You know, when you look 0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:50.879 at art and artists. We come from a industry called 0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:55.640 music art, which is art, and we just bring it 0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:58.839 down to the basic levels. When everybody deal with us, 0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:02.240 no out of how good the deal seems, there's always 0:39:02.280 --> 0:39:07.680 somebody hand in our pockets. Left right backside, there's a 0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:10.080 hand in our pockets. So we might feel that we 0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:13.959 have the freedom. You know, in Harvard, the professor said, 0:39:15.320 --> 0:39:18.640 the illness I was like, I couldn't believe that the 0:39:18.719 --> 0:39:21.720 way would being down the way that are the industry 0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:25.560 is being dealt with. They was actually taught to do that, 0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:31.560 the professor said, if you want them to work harder, 0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:35.120 make them feel like they owned something. I was like, hmmm. 0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:40.759 He said, example, you know you have two dollars, give 0:39:40.840 --> 0:39:44.120 him one dollar. But you know you've got two dollars 0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:47.359 in your budget. Give him one dollar first, he only 0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:51.640 one dollar. Do your job. Let him work for a week. 0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:55.760 After that week, you walk up to him. He's walking 0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:57.719 in the yard or wherever he's walking. You walk up 0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:02.480 and say, man, and do on a great job. He 0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:06.240 goes another dollar what he already owned. I was supposed 0:40:06.280 --> 0:40:08.240 to be giving down the second dollar was in the budget. 0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:11.160 But what are you going to do after the boss 0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:14.080 tell you you was on your a game? Hey, going 0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:18.359 another dollar? What's harder? You're gonna be like, Oh, I'm 0:40:18.400 --> 0:40:20.960 on my grind, I'm on my I'm ready to go. 0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:24.080 The boss came up to me, he told me, I 0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:27.240 M might running this company, So you're gonna go harder 0:40:28.760 --> 0:40:32.000 just because the way that was done. And I was like, damn, 0:40:32.640 --> 0:40:36.480 that sounds like the label deal. Give them a label, 0:40:37.200 --> 0:40:40.320 bringing the artists cheaper, make them feel like they own something, 0:40:41.000 --> 0:40:43.440 because if you own something, you're gonna say, I got 0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:46.000 this artist here, but he can't charge me too much 0:40:46.280 --> 0:40:49.120 because I'm a partner in this and this is my label. 0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:51.480 But are you a partner? Do you have veto rights? 0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:54.080 Are you on the board meetings? Are you really a 0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:56.880 part of this industry? No? The funk out of here? 0:40:57.120 --> 0:41:02.000 Those are faith? Those are those are facts? Smoking mirrors? Nick, 0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:03.719 tell me a person that had a label did have 0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:10.479 been to a major label board meeting? Nothing a board meeting. 0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:14.080 Then we're talking about ownership. When you're talking about that, 0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:18.200 are you saying like the rocket Fellers that those type 0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:21.560 of the talking about everybody imprint deals. I'm talking about everybody. 0:41:21.560 --> 0:41:24.000 I'm talking about. You know, if you were a universal 0:41:24.120 --> 0:41:25.680 all you had the board meeting out of a VINDI 0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:32.080 with the distributors, the board meetings today, the board meeting 0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:34.719 and people that that's who' agree with this, say, I 0:41:35.840 --> 0:41:37.879 are you a part of those meetings. I'm a part 0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:39.600 of those meetings now, so I know how they go. 0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:42.520 But if we're not a part of those meetings and 0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:46.000 the ownership doesn't mean anything, it's a smoking mirror. Make 0:41:46.040 --> 0:41:48.120 them feel like they owned something in their work. Harder 0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:53.239 you understand. I don't why why no musicians have their 0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:56.560 own yachts or they own seven fifty sevens. And then 0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:59.239 you look at other industries of people that's doing five 0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:01.960 of the work that they're doing, because this business is 0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:04.880 not set up for artists to win. So you have 0:42:05.040 --> 0:42:07.440 to understand when it's your time to get off the 0:42:07.520 --> 0:42:10.279 titty and go live your own dream. Like we want 0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:13.080 to be pacified and want to be rewarded at the 0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:16.799 same time, it doesn't work like that. I retired from 0:42:16.920 --> 0:42:19.920 music when I made Onto the Next One. I wrote 0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:22.960 that song as my retirement song, which was my last Grammy, 0:42:23.239 --> 0:42:31.760 because I was mentally onto the next platform were the easier, 0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:36.880 goddamn it continue? And I just think that we got 0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:40.120 to be mentally ready to make any step that we 0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:43.799 feel as life changing to ourselves without I don't care 0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:48.719 about the fair I don't care about the politics because like, look, man, 0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:51.320 life was full of politics. Look who our president is. 0:42:51.680 --> 0:42:54.479 Look what we're dealing with right now. But the truth 0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:57.000 of the matter is left. Actually we had to deal 0:42:57.080 --> 0:43:01.280 with someone with every president since Reagan, like since Reaganamics 0:43:01.360 --> 0:43:05.600 like this ain't nothing new. This ain't nothing but the 0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:09.160 recycling of of the system. But how you treat your 0:43:09.200 --> 0:43:14.360 own system mentally and spiritually is on you. We prepare 0:43:14.440 --> 0:43:17.600 for any war, That's why we still around even talk 0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:19.880 about this ship we've been was supposed to be going. 0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:24.040 Everybody in this room, I understand you think. You think 0:43:24.080 --> 0:43:26.359 the digital age the level of the playing field as 0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:30.320 far as you're talking about that just didn't general just artists, 0:43:31.640 --> 0:43:36.560 the labels and just straight to to consumer. Well, Um, 0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:40.640 the reason why I like the digital aspect of of 0:43:40.920 --> 0:43:44.719 of where we at today is because it gives the 0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:51.680 independent life life and before we was trapped into one 0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:55.160 way or nothing. You know, now if you really got 0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:57.560 your hustle on, like my brother and you guys here, 0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:01.480 you can go viral and start something. I can imagine 0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:04.920 if this forum that we're on right now didn't exist. 0:44:05.480 --> 0:44:07.880 Let me kind of stop you for one second because 0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:12.280 I understand exactly where you're going. But if you're older artists, 0:44:12.320 --> 0:44:17.160 I'm with, just music does the streaming level to playing field? 0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:19.720 Because just think about it, Like, when you're a new artist, 0:44:20.000 --> 0:44:22.440 you can you can you can drop a record and 0:44:22.560 --> 0:44:25.239 not pay for radio, not pay for nothing. And the 0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:27.600 new artist buzz is going to get people to play 0:44:27.680 --> 0:44:29.880 a record because they don't want to be late on 0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:32.760 the new ship. But when your artists have been around 0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:37.279 for fifteen twenty years and you drop something, you might 0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:39.840 not get the same you know what I'm saying. So 0:44:40.040 --> 0:44:42.600 does streaming, like on the radio, what I'm saying, to 0:44:42.719 --> 0:44:46.920 the streaming level the playing field or does it flatline it? 0:44:47.080 --> 0:44:51.279 You know that depends on the artists straight up. You 0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:55.600 understand a lot of artists and not real with themselves. 0:44:56.640 --> 0:45:01.320 You understand they're gonna put something out that's just not 0:45:01.520 --> 0:45:03.880 that time to put what they're putting out. So the 0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:06.880 results that they're getting out is what it is. I 0:45:06.960 --> 0:45:09.200 don't care who you are, where are you from. You 0:45:09.320 --> 0:45:12.880 got a hot show that's popping. It's on right decisions. 0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:16.799 If you artists, no matter who you are, if you've 0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:19.600 got that record and you've got that right direction, you 0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:23.160 don't have to do no work. But his song requires 0:45:23.239 --> 0:45:27.640 no work. It goes ordentically, and the people feel that, 0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:34.799 and that resurgence of that spreads. But if you're disgrunted 0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:40.000 and jealous and living in a time that we know 0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:42.759 you're not in, and you're not gauging your views and 0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:45.960 and your vibes are right, and you don't get the 0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:50.200 results you want, who fault is that yours? Not the people, 0:45:50.560 --> 0:45:52.640 because the people just want to have fun they're not 0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:55.279 even caring who's saying what and what it could be. 0:45:56.560 --> 0:45:59.919 Whoever rested right now as long as who saying both 0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:02.200 could put out a song with the right dancing, the 0:46:02.360 --> 0:46:05.240 right beat and it could go that's all. So nobody 0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:07.560 had an ease sign of drink champion in the case 0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:10.920 you're thinking about that, you know that. I think. I 0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:13.360 think also the definition of a hit record is changing 0:46:13.840 --> 0:46:16.000 because there's there's artists that you will never you might 0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:18.920 not even know they have successful careers because they're going 0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:22.680 to direct the consumer because right now, like right you 0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:28.720 know you've worked with the greats eminem jay z, dmx Nory, 0:46:29.320 --> 0:46:33.880 I can't. I can't even like Kanye Kanye, you know so, 0:46:35.800 --> 0:46:38.880 And now a new guy comes on your beat, boys 0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:52.000 the way that that was or that my own stuff. 0:46:52.480 --> 0:46:57.600 But now guy, you know, somebody calls you your beat. 0:46:57.640 --> 0:47:04.120 He like it was a bit of that aversion. But 0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:06.920 he's killing it. But you you don't even know what 0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:08.600 he's said. How the funk is he killing him? You 0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:11.520 can't understand what he's killing, what this thing is out 0:47:11.560 --> 0:47:13.439 there that's killing it. I don't understand what they're saying, 0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:20.520 But to me, they're still killing saying I dig something 0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:23.239 up away. I gotta tell you something. I gotta when 0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:28.399 you hear my record those people you're talking about, watch 0:47:28.440 --> 0:47:33.000 how I checked their passports at the dark and and 0:47:33.120 --> 0:47:35.640 it was a breath of fresh air because I witnessed 0:47:35.760 --> 0:47:40.240 that people are doing what they're doing because of a fad. 0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:45.000 I'm like, you're hiding all of this talent because you 0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:47.839 think that's what they want to hear. I couldn't when 0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:51.279 you hear these verses clearly that you're gonna hear, I 0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:55.040 was like, Bro, do you mean you couldn't. This is 0:47:55.200 --> 0:48:00.080 the whole time you're going there's really talented people in 0:48:00.200 --> 0:48:05.239 that space of what we feel that's not talent. I've 0:48:05.360 --> 0:48:08.120 witnessed it, and you're gonna witness it too very soon. 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:13.800 You don't be like that's who, Yeah, that's him, and 0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:18.919 that's who, Yeah, that's him too. Because I just wanted 0:48:18.960 --> 0:48:22.719 to challenge people to do something different, because when they're 0:48:22.719 --> 0:48:26.319 applying their life is great. But the challenge that I'm 0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:30.200 I want to challenge them to apply just an atmosphere 0:48:30.239 --> 0:48:32.960 is differently. I don't want what you have already. I 0:48:33.120 --> 0:48:35.640 did you to do this, And when I dared them 0:48:35.680 --> 0:48:42.160 to do that hunting points on the boards. You know 0:48:42.239 --> 0:48:44.600 how long? You know how much time I spent in Jamaica. 0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:49.680 I just feel like, you know how much. I just 0:48:49.840 --> 0:48:53.960 don't need it, Like I got five kids, Bro, when 0:48:54.000 --> 0:48:58.640 I drink that because we're celebrating you tonight, tonight, got 0:48:58.680 --> 0:49:00.320 twenty years work. We're head come on when you do 0:49:00.400 --> 0:49:03.600 the what the fucker? Yeah? I always we got to 0:49:03.640 --> 0:49:05.840 deal with Tiger on what we've done because we go 0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:08.960 to check our own joint is they do listen to 0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:10.800 what we do. It's because you know what, I know, 0:49:10.840 --> 0:49:13.200 I got to change McCarty. Right now, we're gonna dance 0:49:14.640 --> 0:49:18.719 act and that's not competition, and no one, no it's not. 0:49:18.840 --> 0:49:21.160 It's not. It's not. It's nobody's calling. But I know 0:49:21.280 --> 0:49:23.160 it's you'd be tig of bone in this thing out 0:49:23.239 --> 0:49:26.680 in here because it's a beautiful thing. How because a 0:49:26.840 --> 0:49:30.000 level spell back was this level. You gotta balance. It's 0:49:31.200 --> 0:49:34.279 we're kind of here, you go, Bud, where's the blog check? 0:49:34.320 --> 0:49:39.399 I gotta bring the Google.

You just 0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:11.440 didn't want to let your copy. You just didn't want 0:50:11.480 --> 0:50:14.480 to see them throwing up the rocks side. I got 0:50:14.520 --> 0:50:17.279 a lot of trouble for that. Why what happened? You know? 0:50:18.040 --> 0:50:20.800 I was?

No? 0:50:34.680 --> 0:50:36.200 I was, I was a little I was talking a 0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:39.560 little reckless.

Because I was as 0:52:02.760 --> 0:52:07.640 a man, I can admit when I'm wrong, and out 0:52:07.680 --> 0:52:10.279 of twenty some years with the locks, it was the 0:52:10.400 --> 0:52:18.160 first time I was wrong. I was. I spoke about 0:52:18.640 --> 0:52:22.120 I spoke about the incident on Shape four five. I 0:52:22.160 --> 0:52:27.080 spoke about what I spoke about, how I felt about 0:52:27.640 --> 0:52:29.960 kissed on up the rock sign and why you saw 0:52:30.080 --> 0:52:33.640 kiss old the rocket sign. Oh, I never knew that. 0:52:34.280 --> 0:52:36.680 I've seen him throw it up. It's this, it's public information. 0:52:37.239 --> 0:52:38.800 And the reason and the reason why I had a 0:52:38.840 --> 0:52:42.080 problem with it was because you know, I was around 0:52:42.239 --> 0:52:46.920 for I was around for everything, and I knew that 0:52:48.200 --> 0:52:50.960 how hard it was to fight for it who we had, 0:52:52.239 --> 0:52:55.920 and I knew that my great friend Jay would never 0:52:56.000 --> 0:52:57.520 thought a rough right of sign of no matter what 0:52:58.280 --> 0:53:01.800 deal he would ever do, because early on, just because 0:53:01.920 --> 0:53:06.400 like you know, you know, um Mom was in them 0:53:06.440 --> 0:53:10.239 put a lot of time into changing people's lives. They 0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:12.840 put a lot of times and the changing people's lives, 0:53:12.960 --> 0:53:16.319 and they put their lives on the line for changing 0:53:16.360 --> 0:53:21.080 people's lives. So naturally, I'm gonna be emotional when I 0:53:21.160 --> 0:53:27.080 see something that's other than where it all comes from, naturally. 0:53:27.320 --> 0:53:30.920 So naturally how overreacted when the question was brought up 0:53:30.960 --> 0:53:33.960 to me? I was like, what was the question? Acts 0:53:34.000 --> 0:53:38.040 of here? Where you think about the locks with um 0:53:39.960 --> 0:53:42.640 with Rocket Feller, And I said, I think that it's 0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:46.759 a great deal, which I do because they work hard 0:53:46.800 --> 0:53:50.319 to even have this this type of outlet, and then 0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:56.560 like they doing, what's up? Mr Lee, You've got no control. 0:53:56.680 --> 0:54:00.840 That's not even Mr Lee, that's Mr Chi. Yeah, you 0:54:00.840 --> 0:54:02.880 know what I'm saying. But if they go to their masters, 0:54:03.600 --> 0:54:06.640 because from what I hear, they go, they worked hard 0:54:06.719 --> 0:54:09.400 to even be able to put out that type of 0:54:09.400 --> 0:54:13.600 album in two thousands sixteen slash seventeen, And I was 0:54:14.560 --> 0:54:18.160 I was wrong for expressing that on that public outlet. 0:54:18.760 --> 0:54:20.880 Even though I called a couple of group members a 0:54:20.920 --> 0:54:23.320 couple of times. If I couldn't reach them, I should 0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:25.959 have dead it it. But I was a little nice, 0:54:26.840 --> 0:54:31.279 like I am. Now we got through. We ain't but 0:54:31.320 --> 0:54:33.719 I'm the most honest one. I'm nice, which this is 0:54:33.800 --> 0:54:37.399 what it is. And TV told me you have wall 0:54:37.480 --> 0:54:39.680 paint from your face when you try to get averse 0:54:39.719 --> 0:54:41.480 from you, because I don't really be on that other 0:54:41.520 --> 0:54:45.120 ship already. You know, I'm not scared to express it. 0:54:46.040 --> 0:54:48.360 I'm into the art life, so sometimes I paint my 0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:51.160 face and sometimes it's those shades on. Just be on 0:54:51.239 --> 0:54:53.920 my cool league. You know, we see that had I 0:54:53.960 --> 0:54:57.279 got on SAP, I said, because you worked it out. 0:54:57.520 --> 0:55:00.560 But of course we worked it out because you know, 0:55:00.680 --> 0:55:03.160 at the end of the day, the styles had every 0:55:03.280 --> 0:55:06.239 right to call me and be on that vibe. And 0:55:06.320 --> 0:55:08.440 I listened to him. I was in in the airport 0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:13.120 in Shanghai and he texts me the file's message them. 0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:18.680 I was laughing, they're not making a joke because it's 0:55:18.840 --> 0:55:22.920 something serious. And I listened to what he said. He 0:55:23.080 --> 0:55:27.279 had good points. And as a man, anybody watching this, 0:55:27.520 --> 0:55:30.640 as a man, if you're in the wrong, you gotta 0:55:30.680 --> 0:55:35.760 take that charge. Take that charge, apologize I was wrong. 0:55:37.040 --> 0:55:39.920 I won't do that again. My bad. You know a 0:55:40.080 --> 0:55:43.000 lot of the egos to kill him. A lot of 0:55:43.040 --> 0:55:47.320 people let the ego mislead them in life. I know 0:55:47.480 --> 0:55:49.920 that I could never go to war with the Locks, 0:55:50.880 --> 0:55:55.040 even though their first name was the Warlocks. Right, those 0:55:55.400 --> 0:55:57.640 those are my brothers. We're never going to have a 0:55:57.719 --> 0:56:00.680 confrontation for the industry to sit. I can watch your 0:56:00.760 --> 0:56:05.120 legacy that we worked hard for burn because of some 0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:09.439 small time things. We really was in these streets for real, 0:56:10.160 --> 0:56:12.640 I love nothing. We are the streets was the first 0:56:13.440 --> 0:56:17.919 put my life. It just turned seventeen.

Let's get into some real 0:57:26.680 --> 0:57:31.200 like the question. Whatever we want to do. Let's go on. Man, 0:57:31.280 --> 0:57:33.720 I'm here to make the ratings go up. I'm gonna 0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:36.960 they talk. So when you and Kanye West battle on 0:57:37.120 --> 0:57:45.000 stage so much, Jam, I love that moment. It described 0:57:45.080 --> 0:57:48.680 that moment, was that put together? What was that like? 0:57:49.160 --> 0:57:52.560 Spirit a moment you and Kanye. This is the craziest 0:57:52.600 --> 0:57:57.200 nigger in life, in in his life, but this before 0:57:57.240 --> 0:58:00.560 he got crazy. He was like saying, at this time, 0:58:01.320 --> 0:58:05.240 I respect Kanye for taking that battle because you know, um, 0:58:05.600 --> 0:58:09.560 a lot of producers I asked turned down that Tom Tom. 0:58:11.440 --> 0:58:15.800 So you're saying this was your whole idea. Yeah, in 0:58:16.000 --> 0:58:19.480 New York City, I was leading Summer Jam. Of course 0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:24.440 we orchestrated this. Never do this. I've never knew this 0:58:26.120 --> 0:58:30.120 been you've been, You've asked people to do this before 0:58:32.160 --> 0:58:36.720 time is running out because we don't have time. We 0:58:36.880 --> 0:58:41.280 just started. We just we just got so I'm gonna 0:58:41.320 --> 0:58:44.480 make this go. No that shout ABLECARDI Now I got 0:58:44.560 --> 0:58:47.160 my cup right here. This iscarty eight great right here too, 0:58:48.040 --> 0:58:51.240 let's do shots. I don't do like Drenking let us man, 0:58:51.560 --> 0:58:53.760 what does that leave bro like? I mean, all right, 0:58:55.440 --> 0:59:01.560 that Carty is double enough? So okay, So you had 0:59:01.640 --> 0:59:06.320 this idea for a producer, you know, because when I 0:59:06.400 --> 0:59:08.680 look at Summer Jam, I noticed that a lot of 0:59:08.720 --> 0:59:14.240 the performing artists musically got to shine, and the producers 0:59:14.320 --> 0:59:17.640 was always behind those big hit records. That these artists 0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:19.840 was able to go on stage and do their thing too. 0:59:20.080 --> 0:59:21.640 So I said, you know what, let's play how muche 0:59:21.680 --> 0:59:26.480 to the producers and Summer Jam is is it's very controversial. 0:59:26.560 --> 0:59:28.560 So I said, you know what, Let's make it a 0:59:28.640 --> 0:59:35.080 battle where I'm talking ship and then whoever come out 0:59:35.480 --> 0:59:38.200 and challenged me to me talking ship with their greatest 0:59:38.440 --> 0:59:40.680 couple of hits? And I give him my greatest couple 0:59:40.680 --> 0:59:44.200 of hits. And we gave the people a show that 0:59:44.360 --> 0:59:47.520 was respectable and and and they paid how much to producing? 0:59:48.480 --> 0:59:52.200 Everybody turned down the request except for Kanye, And I 0:59:52.320 --> 0:59:54.200 give him no names that you could say to turn 0:59:54.200 --> 0:59:57.880 it down. Who else would you name him? The premier 0:59:57.920 --> 1:00:08.760 turn down. I'm not challenging the permission, dropping like he 1:00:09.000 --> 1:00:17.439 dropped that New York State of Mind one track. He's 1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:21.200 in there rock but but just just you know, you 1:00:21.280 --> 1:00:25.640 know you're gonna way too far, too far. He drive, 1:00:25.680 --> 1:00:27.600 reminisce with me, what the funk am I gonna do? 1:00:28.280 --> 1:00:34.120 Stop driving? Who said? Just just he reached out to 1:00:34.240 --> 1:00:37.000 Jeff Blaze, not not he didn't definitely Blazes time to 1:00:37.280 --> 1:00:39.400 I think I think Jeff Blaze could probably beat me 1:00:39.480 --> 1:00:42.520 today in the battle because I'm not really thinking about it. 1:00:42.600 --> 1:00:44.360 But if I thought about it, I'd probably give him 1:00:44.400 --> 1:00:46.960 a little bit of a run for his money. When 1:00:46.960 --> 1:00:50.640 you're saying battle, When you're saying battle, are you saying 1:00:51.360 --> 1:00:56.400 hits y'all? At that time it was hits right, So 1:00:56.520 --> 1:00:58.919 imagine he came with the crowd, helped me to read 1:00:59.160 --> 1:01:04.880 do like the whole street out. But I got something 1:01:04.920 --> 1:01:08.840 for that too. I got something for that. People gotta understand, 1:01:08.920 --> 1:01:15.520 Like I used to make everybody, what were we doing? Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, 1:01:15.960 --> 1:01:19.040 let's go say you something. It's good. It's good man, 1:01:19.560 --> 1:01:33.240 love love love.

You know, she 1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:27.360 was like, Kanye, is this now? Definitely don't got blod here. 1:04:27.480 --> 1:04:30.480 Let's keep him the backpack on he had a backpack. 1:04:30.800 --> 1:04:34.240 The backpack backpack Kanye know, like, what was what was 1:04:34.440 --> 1:04:41.240 Jesus big Jesus piece uh Okay, Louis Vutan sneaker, Kanye 1:04:42.840 --> 1:04:46.880 is Jesus walks colors drop out nights before Jesus?

But I respect that I gave him the 1:05:01.760 --> 1:05:06.080 concept and he was just like, all right, let's make 1:05:06.120 --> 1:05:09.080 it fresh. And the craziest part I was like he came. 1:05:09.320 --> 1:05:12.080 I told him my playlist, He told me his playlist. 1:05:12.480 --> 1:05:15.960 I kept my players and he changed his players. I 1:05:16.240 --> 1:05:19.320 was like, are you sure you don't want to because 1:05:19.360 --> 1:05:21.560 like I didn't. It wasn't about no big eyes a 1:05:21.640 --> 1:05:25.240 little us know, but what at what point changed his playlist? 1:05:26.240 --> 1:05:31.040 When I was showtime, there was showtime. I heard songs 1:05:31.160 --> 1:05:35.400 that that he didn't present. I was like, so, y'all 1:05:35.440 --> 1:05:38.320 both knew what songs y'all was gonna play. I told 1:05:38.400 --> 1:05:40.040 him I was. I never changed. I was gonna play 1:05:40.080 --> 1:05:42.840 because I just wanted to play what I was gonna play. 1:05:43.840 --> 1:05:46.440 And the songs that he picked before I thought was stronger, 1:05:47.160 --> 1:05:48.920 you know, because I didn't want it to be like, um, 1:05:49.720 --> 1:05:51.760 a big little youth thing I wanted. I wanted him 1:05:51.760 --> 1:05:53.840 to be great and I wanted me to be great, 1:05:53.840 --> 1:05:55.960 and he was great. But you know, I think the 1:05:56.040 --> 1:06:01.720 selection um that we first it was better, you know, right, 1:06:02.240 --> 1:06:06.000 because it's not like you know, me, me going on 1:06:06.080 --> 1:06:08.479 a summer jam stage and showing off on another person. 1:06:08.880 --> 1:06:12.080 Because that man is talented as a genius. You know, 1:06:12.320 --> 1:06:17.240 he a mass of his craft, just like Timberland, Dr 1:06:17.400 --> 1:06:21.560 Dre Pharrell just blaze. All the producers their massive, their 1:06:21.600 --> 1:06:24.000 own crafts. And the one thing I do miss about 1:06:24.080 --> 1:06:28.080 music is that you know, um, we all had different 1:06:28.120 --> 1:06:31.080 things to bring to the table. You know when you 1:06:31.160 --> 1:06:34.440 heard that sign it was a different sound totally not 1:06:34.640 --> 1:06:38.480 about a a bounce. We came. We felt like we 1:06:39.200 --> 1:06:41.560 we wanted to come with, you know. And there's a 1:06:41.600 --> 1:06:43.920 couple of new producers that's doing that and I respect 1:06:43.960 --> 1:06:46.600 them all. Like a signature sound. Yeah, there's a couple 1:06:46.600 --> 1:06:48.440 of producers on in it, and there's a couple of 1:06:48.560 --> 1:06:52.040 people that's taken advantage of the technology. But Swiss Beast 1:06:52.160 --> 1:06:55.800 is about to make an album right now. I'm asking 1:06:56.400 --> 1:06:59.680 that sh done and then and the label says we 1:07:00.200 --> 1:07:03.600 hire some new new dudes. Who is Swiss Beasts going 1:07:03.760 --> 1:07:07.080 high producer? Why I'm not scared of new dudes. I 1:07:07.160 --> 1:07:10.120 got new dudes on my team. I respect new dudes. 1:07:10.720 --> 1:07:12.960 You know what I'm saying. Like when I say my bad, 1:07:13.040 --> 1:07:17.240 let me rephrase the question they're saying, go get some 1:07:17.960 --> 1:07:24.480 like the the producers that's trending now because it was 1:07:25.440 --> 1:07:28.600 who is Swiss gonna say? You know what I'm producing? 1:07:28.640 --> 1:07:32.920 You like? But if you're making an album, because you know, 1:07:33.160 --> 1:07:35.520 let's be honest, your artists too. There's a lot of 1:07:35.680 --> 1:07:38.560 there's a lot of new producers are like, you know, 1:07:39.320 --> 1:07:41.960 I'm not stuck in my past. You know, a lot 1:07:42.000 --> 1:07:44.760 of producers get stuck in the pass and they don't 1:07:44.760 --> 1:07:51.920 really respect. Somebody need a goddamn fixed that. This is 1:07:51.960 --> 1:07:58.720 the smoking in the background, but my headphones don't block 1:07:58.800 --> 1:08:06.080 them out? Or who is who is? If they say, now, 1:08:06.240 --> 1:08:11.040 we said you you got three people? No, no, let's 1:08:11.040 --> 1:08:14.280 say five. So you've got five people to to to 1:08:15.400 --> 1:08:19.559 to pay other than you to finish your album right now? 1:08:20.320 --> 1:08:23.720 You gotta love you bad with names, bro, That's just 1:08:24.400 --> 1:08:27.880 I admit to it. I'm bad with names. I like 1:08:29.120 --> 1:08:32.439 I like metro Booman, you know, you can say the 1:08:32.520 --> 1:08:35.320 song that you like the brother I like Mike Will, 1:08:35.479 --> 1:08:38.479 I like Metro Boman, I like boy Wonder. You know 1:08:38.520 --> 1:08:43.160 what I'm saying. You know, every you know, it's a 1:08:43.240 --> 1:08:47.519 lot of you know, tied snags. I like everybody that's 1:08:47.560 --> 1:08:50.439 being creative this. You know, you got to think about this, 1:08:50.600 --> 1:08:53.679 like right, there's a lot of people that's doing music 1:08:53.800 --> 1:08:55.920 that could have been robbing our kids and our mothers 1:08:55.960 --> 1:08:58.960 and brothers and our cousins. As long as people doing 1:08:59.040 --> 1:09:01.560 something positive, like with DMX and too, he's kind of 1:09:01.600 --> 1:09:04.400 said the same thing, shout to the dog. But so 1:09:04.560 --> 1:09:09.080 you're not gonna you're not gonna call Dr Dre. That's 1:09:09.120 --> 1:09:11.519 not a new producer. Man, you just kind of just 1:09:11.600 --> 1:09:16.920 switched it up. I'm calling Dry. Just happened. You might 1:09:16.920 --> 1:09:21.000 as well call Premier too. Maybe I'm out alowing with 1:09:21.080 --> 1:09:28.799 my questions. Yeah, I'm sorry. Let's get you a new producer. 1:09:30.640 --> 1:09:34.360 Anybody that's doing something positive with music. It's just like art. 1:09:35.200 --> 1:09:38.519 It's an expression. You can relate to it or you can't. 1:09:38.800 --> 1:09:41.960 That's why there's different genres and music, different genres and 1:09:42.120 --> 1:09:45.559 art and different genres and everything that we uh facing 1:09:45.600 --> 1:09:48.680 this world. You know, I'm not gonna sit here and 1:09:48.760 --> 1:09:53.519 play around with none of those producers because you know, um, 1:09:54.479 --> 1:09:58.720 they all got a little bit of influence. And myself, Timberland, 1:09:58.760 --> 1:10:02.080 whoever you want to name, we're part of their DNA 1:10:02.200 --> 1:10:04.639 whether we like it or not. They took a part 1:10:04.680 --> 1:10:08.040 of what we did and created themselves. If I diss them, 1:10:08.040 --> 1:10:11.720 I'm technically this and myself. They just they're just on 1:10:11.760 --> 1:10:15.040 another platform and see another stage that they got to 1:10:15.080 --> 1:10:19.320 perform on. That doesn't deplete my stage. That just like 1:10:19.800 --> 1:10:22.920 it's a compliment of each other. You understanding what I 1:10:22.960 --> 1:10:24.960 have to do. The things that I don't like, I 1:10:25.040 --> 1:10:31.120 have to fix. So my album, I'm like, bars, let's 1:10:31.240 --> 1:10:34.400 name of the album. Let's make a public the name. 1:10:34.439 --> 1:10:35.920 I don't know the name of the album. I don't 1:10:35.960 --> 1:10:37.880 even think that. I don't even think about no name. 1:10:37.920 --> 1:10:41.320 I just thought about like fucking up everything. That's the 1:10:41.439 --> 1:10:47.600 name of the album. But now let's take it to 1:10:48.080 --> 1:10:53.240 the first rough rideout for rough ride of compilation. Yeah, 1:10:55.880 --> 1:11:00.960 that is the difference compilation and the album because it 1:11:01.040 --> 1:11:05.200 wasn't an artist. The first rough adage was a compilation. 1:11:05.640 --> 1:11:08.720 The first rough out of album was dmx so so 1:11:08.880 --> 1:11:11.840 the first rough out of album multiples, the conglomerate of 1:11:12.800 --> 1:11:16.240 multiple artists up and coming, known not known. You know, 1:11:16.360 --> 1:11:19.760 That's that's when people heard Beanies. First hard Verse was 1:11:19.840 --> 1:11:23.320 on the album. That's when people heard Infrared and Cross, 1:11:23.400 --> 1:11:26.400 That's when people heard you know, Eve, That's when people 1:11:26.479 --> 1:11:30.040 heard drag On. That's when people got exposed to a 1:11:30.120 --> 1:11:32.720 lot of things that I wasn't really out there yet, 1:11:32.880 --> 1:11:35.479 you know what I'm saying. And so you know, first 1:11:35.840 --> 1:11:40.519 niggas won that first album? What what was? What was it? 1:11:40.680 --> 1:11:43.960 Because there were all separate entities, You had all these 1:11:44.000 --> 1:11:48.800 separate groups. Now just saying the compilation album, Well, we 1:11:48.920 --> 1:11:51.519 had no separate groups. And I never even knew what 1:11:51.560 --> 1:11:54.320 the compilation was before I did that album. I just 1:11:54.439 --> 1:11:56.439 knew that we was making an album with the family, 1:11:57.080 --> 1:11:59.960 and uh, we was taking everybody's verses and putting out 1:12:00.080 --> 1:12:03.439 siders on them to fill up the space. You know, 1:12:03.479 --> 1:12:05.720 I was too young to understand what was a compilation 1:12:05.840 --> 1:12:07.800 not a compilation. I didn't give a funk what it was. 1:12:08.200 --> 1:12:11.280 I just wanted to produce the best ship and make 1:12:11.360 --> 1:12:14.599 the people feel good. And I was hungry. I was thirsty. 1:12:14.640 --> 1:12:17.000 I was going up against Greece. I was going up 1:12:17.000 --> 1:12:19.519 against Pete K. I was going up against you know, 1:12:19.880 --> 1:12:22.720 uh young Lord. I was going up against a lot 1:12:22.760 --> 1:12:25.880 of producers at that time that you know, spunk bigger, 1:12:26.040 --> 1:12:28.320 a lot of producers that had like a lot of recognition. 1:12:29.040 --> 1:12:31.760 And I just wanted to make the best music I 1:12:31.800 --> 1:12:33.920 can making. And when I looked up, I had like 1:12:34.040 --> 1:12:37.360 ninety percent of that done. And then I've seen I 1:12:37.439 --> 1:12:38.960 looked up, I had an eighty percent of the Locks 1:12:39.000 --> 1:12:41.840 album done, no percent of E done. I even setting 1:12:41.880 --> 1:12:45.760 up extra next album done, and and you know, I 1:12:45.840 --> 1:12:47.960 just I just wanted to go hard. You know what 1:12:47.960 --> 1:12:49.680 I'm saying. Now, why are you in grease at that 1:12:49.760 --> 1:12:53.960 would like work together and looking together as a taxi situation? 1:12:54.080 --> 1:12:59.200 You know, Um, we've grown in now. Um. I never 1:12:59.280 --> 1:13:02.439 knew why a Greece had a problem with me, because 1:13:02.720 --> 1:13:05.720 you know, my uncle when I was when I went 1:13:05.800 --> 1:13:09.120 to Atlanta, my uncle was like, you know, I got 1:13:09.240 --> 1:13:11.120 a couple of producers that I wanted. I want to 1:13:11.360 --> 1:13:14.640 uh continue the movement while while are you gone? And 1:13:14.680 --> 1:13:16.479 he took me to Young Lord's house, and he took 1:13:16.479 --> 1:13:18.320 me to Greece house and he took me to Young 1:13:18.439 --> 1:13:23.120 Lord's house. I seemed like a real stable environment. And 1:13:23.200 --> 1:13:25.800 I was like, no, young long guy like a great 1:13:26.160 --> 1:13:29.439 he had a great foundation. I went to Greece when 1:13:29.520 --> 1:13:32.040 it's abandon building. I'm like, damn, he might need it 1:13:32.120 --> 1:13:35.200 more than young lord. So I picked Greece to be 1:13:35.360 --> 1:13:39.080 the producer at that time when I wasn't available. And 1:13:40.840 --> 1:13:45.280 competition naturally, uh turns into what it turns into, you 1:13:45.360 --> 1:13:48.920 know what I'm saying. But you know, I'm gonna just 1:13:49.000 --> 1:13:51.720 keep it positive. I didn't did a lot of things 1:13:51.720 --> 1:13:54.320 to him, did a lot of things. You know. Um, 1:13:54.560 --> 1:13:56.519 he hadn't spoken by my name since I handled the 1:13:56.600 --> 1:14:00.800 last situation. And I'm gonna just say blessings to him 1:14:00.800 --> 1:14:02.800 and thank you for what he contributed to the frost 1:14:02.880 --> 1:14:06.160 out of the family. No sucking ship. You know what 1:14:06.200 --> 1:14:11.200 I'm saying. You know he's blocking. No, let me stop easy, Okay, 1:14:12.240 --> 1:14:17.679 Let's keep it positive. Keep positive. It's positive. It's all positive. 1:14:18.520 --> 1:14:23.840 I just always, you know, always, just notice that you know, 1:14:24.000 --> 1:14:27.519 he brought this, was was there for them very very 1:14:27.640 --> 1:14:32.439 very weekend. That's all. That's all I always sto we Uh. 1:14:34.360 --> 1:14:37.719 I kind of like the Me and Greece back and forth, 1:14:38.640 --> 1:14:43.160 you know, because it just felt good you're talking about 1:14:43.240 --> 1:14:46.640 every whatever whatever one my dog had a fight with 1:14:46.760 --> 1:14:50.000 his dog to my real dogs. Now we really had 1:14:50.040 --> 1:14:53.920 we really had, we really had powers. You're talking about 1:14:54.000 --> 1:15:00.240 real people. I think people are polls now we me 1:15:00.360 --> 1:15:03.240 and me and Greece went back to like his dog 1:15:03.360 --> 1:15:08.519 had dogs problem. Goddamn, they don't get no rather than that, 1:15:09.160 --> 1:15:15.840 and then you know, we were talking about people. Unless 1:15:15.880 --> 1:15:21.679 I'm wrong, I'm talking. He let him tell you, you know, okay, 1:15:21.920 --> 1:15:24.000 let me let him tell you. And then we we 1:15:24.360 --> 1:15:27.000 and we eventually got into it and we had to 1:15:27.080 --> 1:15:31.479 handle it like men and whatever. Knew that I respect 1:15:31.600 --> 1:15:36.519 him as a man, and I respect him and respect 1:15:36.560 --> 1:15:38.760 me as a man. I agree to never talk to 1:15:38.880 --> 1:15:41.760 him talk on his name negative, and he agreed never 1:15:41.840 --> 1:15:45.240 to talk on my name negative. And uh, if that 1:15:45.400 --> 1:15:47.760 was done, then we just did with the consequences. But 1:15:47.920 --> 1:15:49.920 that was the deal that we made. So I can't 1:15:49.920 --> 1:15:52.439 be even here on this show today and talk about 1:15:52.479 --> 1:15:54.640 that man negative. I respect him. He made a lot 1:15:54.720 --> 1:15:57.800 of hits for dogs. He's a great producer. He put 1:15:57.840 --> 1:15:59.600 a Hollom on the map. He put a lot of 1:15:59.640 --> 1:16:02.040 people big yell as well. Right all that you know, 1:16:02.120 --> 1:16:05.200 my my dad managed big al you understand my favorite 1:16:05.280 --> 1:16:10.280 ear my dad. My dad is serious. My dad was 1:16:10.360 --> 1:16:13.000 a party with my fami boyfriend out with cool Hirk. 1:16:14.640 --> 1:16:17.760 Him and cool Hirk was neighbors upstairs downstairs, so those 1:16:17.840 --> 1:16:20.040 beginning parties, my dad was a part of those parties. 1:16:20.040 --> 1:16:22.639 I never even said that ship public. Now you did, 1:16:23.560 --> 1:16:29.840 chance serious start. Let's just make some noise for that, 1:16:34.840 --> 1:16:39.120 lamb lily. So now so, now, when is the moment 1:16:40.120 --> 1:16:45.280 where Swiss is like, I'm that nick because we all 1:16:45.360 --> 1:16:49.880 went crazy. I went crazy. Mins is night night. I 1:16:49.920 --> 1:16:52.120 think it's probably called the bet for TV. But I'm 1:16:52.120 --> 1:16:55.560 not gonna save my eyes because it's your interview, Like 1:16:55.680 --> 1:16:58.800 what is like? What is the like? I mean, not 1:16:59.000 --> 1:17:01.439 not crazy, I'm just saying, what is the part where 1:17:01.439 --> 1:17:05.360 you said, Dad, I made it? Because the thing about 1:17:05.479 --> 1:17:09.080 exactly when that was tell us, tell us to us. Um. 1:17:10.280 --> 1:17:14.160 You know, when I got into music, I never understood 1:17:14.200 --> 1:17:17.120 that it was a business. I never understood that it 1:17:17.200 --> 1:17:20.200 made billions. I never understand that it saved so many 1:17:20.240 --> 1:17:23.320 people from the street life that were living. It was 1:17:23.400 --> 1:17:26.479 just something that I lived in, seeing every day growing 1:17:26.520 --> 1:17:29.080 up in the South Bronx and then migrating back and 1:17:29.160 --> 1:17:32.400 forth to hallm. You know, it was something that we 1:17:32.479 --> 1:17:37.400 were playing at MPVs, Land Cruises, you know, or the Covans. 1:17:37.439 --> 1:17:39.240 It was, it was just it was just the way 1:17:39.280 --> 1:17:43.960 of life naturally. And you know, when I was doing music, 1:17:45.160 --> 1:17:48.919 you know, I was already count millions on the weekends, 1:17:49.640 --> 1:17:52.360 you know, and I hated money because it was it 1:17:52.479 --> 1:17:55.160 was it was, it was messing up my phone. I 1:17:55.280 --> 1:17:59.960 was counting money on the weekends, millions of dollars because 1:18:00.040 --> 1:18:02.600 of that, because of the business that half of my 1:18:02.720 --> 1:18:05.960 team was in, and so I never really cared about 1:18:06.000 --> 1:18:10.439 the money thing like that, all Iceberg, Jacobi Jar, Nordica, 1:18:10.920 --> 1:18:12.800 all those things that was being passed down to me. 1:18:12.840 --> 1:18:16.360 I never had to really buy those things. Yeah, all 1:18:16.400 --> 1:18:22.479 of that, I speaking all that. So, you know, I 1:18:22.640 --> 1:18:26.439 was brought up fresh. I grew up in the hood 1:18:26.720 --> 1:18:32.320 Jackson Avenue seven hundred department to E. I can't say 1:18:32.320 --> 1:18:36.280 that I had a bad I can't. I can't.

You know, 1:25:22.720 --> 1:25:24.559 it's all about your word, I think, And it's all 1:25:24.600 --> 1:25:27.960 about your dedication. Don't play around with something that you 1:25:28.080 --> 1:25:31.040 don't feel. Don't worry about what nobody else feel. If 1:25:31.080 --> 1:25:34.439 you don't feel it, it don't go you understand. And 1:25:34.520 --> 1:25:36.519 when I was making those beats for you and everybody 1:25:36.600 --> 1:25:38.920 else in the world, which I was blessed to get 1:25:38.920 --> 1:25:41.839 out my hood from it, by my family and lifestyle 1:25:41.960 --> 1:25:48.640 from it, came from a nonfair you understand. Like I 1:25:48.720 --> 1:25:52.759 don't know what that means. A nonfair meaning not faring 1:25:52.840 --> 1:25:56.360 the results of failing. Like a lot of people are 1:25:56.439 --> 1:26:00.160 scared with this. One thinks that that one thinks, but 1:26:00.240 --> 1:26:02.320 it's like, you know, what I give a funk about 1:26:02.360 --> 1:26:04.960 what my family think. A lot of those people that 1:26:05.360 --> 1:26:09.080 want to judge you on what they think, they just 1:26:09.200 --> 1:26:12.479 wut you for the fake ride, like let let something 1:26:12.560 --> 1:26:16.320 not go down right, They're gonna be gone, fake friends. 1:26:17.680 --> 1:26:20.960 Family is important. If you don't got family around you, 1:26:21.360 --> 1:26:23.680 you might be in trouble. Families everything I was, I 1:26:23.840 --> 1:26:26.960 was protected to own my rights and publishing and things 1:26:27.000 --> 1:26:29.639 like that because the rough ride of family was literally 1:26:29.840 --> 1:26:33.760 my family. And I watched a lot of people come 1:26:33.880 --> 1:26:38.439 up and do the biggest things that history can never 1:26:38.560 --> 1:26:45.880 repeat again. Roman Neodles might be their male just because 1:26:45.920 --> 1:26:49.680 of that false trust and just because of that that 1:26:49.840 --> 1:26:53.840 that false judgment, and and and listen, man, you know 1:26:53.920 --> 1:26:58.360 sky is not the limits is just your view? This 1:26:58.520 --> 1:27:00.920 is all I said that A texted him. I told him, 1:27:00.960 --> 1:27:11.040 I remember, why should skies beyond limits? There's there's billions 1:27:11.560 --> 1:27:17.120 every every start we see, there's millions of galle around. Definitely, 1:27:18.000 --> 1:27:20.360 just because we can't see past the sky, Why is that? 1:27:20.960 --> 1:27:24.040 Why should the skies beyond limits? When there's footprints on Mars, 1:27:25.080 --> 1:27:27.960 don't box us in sky is nothing? Limits is just 1:27:28.160 --> 1:27:30.720 our feel because we know that there's life and the 1:27:30.880 --> 1:27:34.760 billions of phones beyond that. And once you start getting 1:27:34.760 --> 1:27:40.240 that mentality, you just gotta go. You understand, like you know, um, 1:27:41.120 --> 1:27:43.720 I'd rather help people than hurt people. But let me 1:27:43.720 --> 1:27:49.559 ask you this, nineteen is the best here in my life. Damn. 1:27:50.000 --> 1:27:53.640 I think two seventeen is. It's the best thing in 1:27:53.680 --> 1:27:57.320 my new life. Okay, I like that. That's a life. 1:27:57.320 --> 1:27:59.960 I like that, But the best in my first life, 1:28:00.120 --> 1:28:03.000 like I had ninety seven because of a couple of 1:28:03.720 --> 1:28:05.720 the War Report, but I was still selling drugs during 1:28:05.760 --> 1:28:08.000 the War Report, and it was terrible because people told 1:28:08.040 --> 1:28:11.040 me my album was classic, but I was selling three 1:28:11.080 --> 1:28:19.280 for five, so it was they're identified with me. But 1:28:20.960 --> 1:28:26.480 best yet my life because of we had the praisest 1:28:27.479 --> 1:28:31.960 records and you described that year for you, I mean, 1:28:32.040 --> 1:28:38.599 that's the best year. Hungling was the beginning of my madness. 1:28:40.120 --> 1:28:45.280 I was young, no facial hairs, no you know, no hope, 1:28:45.360 --> 1:28:48.639 no guidance, didn't drink back then, neither. I started drinking 1:28:48.680 --> 1:28:52.160 at thirty and smoking at thirty cigards weed that is 1:28:53.800 --> 1:28:57.040 I've been the whole time. I didn't want to have 1:28:57.120 --> 1:28:59.760 the car people, which I don't showed every day we 1:29:00.040 --> 1:29:03.400 and cigars on occasional vacations to be in a very 1:29:03.520 --> 1:29:08.360 festive gold boat with water and jet skis in front 1:29:08.400 --> 1:29:12.599 of me as a gold sigard. Now I'm good. I'm good. 1:29:15.800 --> 1:29:21.680 A matter of fact, give me this thing before. I've 1:29:21.720 --> 1:29:29.519 never thrown with him before. What what is this? What 1:29:29.680 --> 1:29:31.639 is this gold papers? What is the gold paper? Ali? 1:29:33.120 --> 1:29:36.000 What is it called? Shine first and foremost? Shout out 1:29:36.040 --> 1:29:41.600 to Ali? LL tell you somebody, Ali, he's he's a 1:29:41.760 --> 1:29:46.640 conscious guy. I watched him or protect the dog in 1:29:46.760 --> 1:29:52.200 a way nobody might not ever do that again. Right. 1:29:52.800 --> 1:29:55.760 I watched him put in his hard work, dedication. I 1:29:55.880 --> 1:30:00.080 watched him support Nori. That man is anointed in the A. 1:30:00.960 --> 1:30:04.320 That's just different. Ali is just different and they don't 1:30:04.360 --> 1:30:06.840 make him. If you don't understand him, you can look 1:30:06.880 --> 1:30:10.519 pass him, but you need to look at him. Shout 1:30:10.560 --> 1:30:18.080 out to our league. That was a beauty. It's truth. 1:30:18.680 --> 1:30:20.880 So now let's go. I want to fuck. Let's go. 1:30:21.320 --> 1:30:23.479 Let's take it, d go. Let's take us through this 1:30:23.920 --> 1:30:27.240 Friday era. I remember hearing stories that you and Jabal 1:30:27.479 --> 1:30:33.040 just beating us up. He's like the bar Jabba like 1:30:35.240 --> 1:30:42.080 single he was on, just on. But you I remember, like, 1:30:42.600 --> 1:30:46.000 like you'll be fighting too, Swiss, what's going on? Back 1:30:46.040 --> 1:30:49.160 and there? This is your past life. I still fight. 1:30:51.960 --> 1:30:58.400 He just a fight for was right. The fight was 1:30:58.520 --> 1:31:03.919 right for the power about anybody. A dummy could be physical. 1:31:06.200 --> 1:31:11.400 A dummy could be physical. A genius can be mental strategic. 1:31:11.600 --> 1:31:17.320 So my my fight now is with greatness, Like let's 1:31:17.400 --> 1:31:21.719 kill him with positivity, Let's kill him with great ideas, 1:31:21.800 --> 1:31:25.960 Let's kill them with let's killing with culture movement. You understand, 1:31:26.080 --> 1:31:31.760 like you know, I used to couldn't take words. Like 1:31:31.840 --> 1:31:33.360 a lot of people talk a lot of words when 1:31:33.360 --> 1:31:36.519 they're influence all these things on the table. But I'm like, 1:31:36.640 --> 1:31:39.439 you know what, I know, you don't even know what 1:31:39.560 --> 1:31:42.240 you're doing. I got I got people that called me 1:31:42.360 --> 1:31:44.479 every day wishing I had a problem with other people. 1:31:46.160 --> 1:31:50.759 I know, somebody's bothering you. Let's go, I'm gonna nobody 1:31:50.800 --> 1:31:56.559 bothering me. Like you know what, there's enough of us 1:31:56.720 --> 1:32:00.320 hurting us going on today. We gotta stop it. We 1:32:00.479 --> 1:32:02.840 have to stop it. But it's like we got to 1:32:02.920 --> 1:32:10.320 develop a patients within our own circle. You understand. We 1:32:10.520 --> 1:32:14.080 might think that like a person no better, but based 1:32:14.120 --> 1:32:17.400 on that person's upbringing, they might not know better. You 1:32:17.560 --> 1:32:19.799 might be an o G. You might be a general, 1:32:20.080 --> 1:32:23.360 he might be a pond, and the pond is gonna 1:32:23.400 --> 1:32:26.800 make the most mistakes. We got a guide that pond 1:32:26.840 --> 1:32:30.320 into being a future general or o G. It's our 1:32:30.479 --> 1:32:35.080 job if we know better understand. So it's like they 1:32:35.120 --> 1:32:38.280 could have been I could have abused my power and 1:32:38.960 --> 1:32:41.439 twenty of my homies could have been doing a bunch 1:32:41.479 --> 1:32:42.880 of times, and I would have took care of their 1:32:42.960 --> 1:32:46.840 family just because that was the protocol. But it's like, 1:32:47.600 --> 1:32:50.559 if we can help people more than we can hurt people, 1:32:50.800 --> 1:32:53.160 and we then that we're doing we're doing it, and 1:32:53.360 --> 1:32:57.560 we're doing a justice and and and our ecosystem. You 1:32:57.600 --> 1:32:59.000 know what I'm saying. The easiest thing for me to 1:32:59.120 --> 1:33:04.160 do is the do something disrespectful. It don't take no 1:33:04.360 --> 1:33:07.960 thinking to do something disrespectful. But the most respectful thing 1:33:08.040 --> 1:33:13.160 to do is something respectful. Listen, bro, let me talk 1:33:13.200 --> 1:33:16.400 to you right now. I know you feel like this, 1:33:17.160 --> 1:33:20.840 Why are you really have a problem with me? Because well, 1:33:21.200 --> 1:33:23.439 I ain't never even really say that. Most of the 1:33:23.560 --> 1:33:27.040 beef and depths over miscommunication. If you really listen to 1:33:27.160 --> 1:33:32.080 the conversation, it's a miscommunication, you understand, And we got 1:33:32.200 --> 1:33:35.200 to have a tonnerance to understand the dialogue of the 1:33:35.280 --> 1:33:41.760 communication to indicate if it's a violation or miscommunication. A 1:33:41.920 --> 1:33:45.519 violation we gotta deal with accordingly. Miscommunication, which is most 1:33:45.560 --> 1:33:48.960 of the times you go home to your family, had 1:33:48.960 --> 1:33:51.720 gone to my family. I give your hug man, I'm 1:33:51.760 --> 1:33:53.320 happy to meet you. If you ever need something on 1:33:53.400 --> 1:33:55.479 your in the side, let me know. If I'm on, 1:33:55.600 --> 1:33:58.120 that's something to call you. Let you know. I meant 1:33:58.160 --> 1:34:02.160 a lot of ogs, real official, authentic ogs or for miscommunication, 1:34:04.200 --> 1:34:08.160 but the intentions of non violation, you know, I'm saying, 1:34:08.800 --> 1:34:11.080 it's a difference. Like a lot of people I came, 1:34:11.320 --> 1:34:14.639 I came, and um, they don't even know the code. 1:34:15.720 --> 1:34:18.400 They don't know the codes, and it takes a lot 1:34:18.439 --> 1:34:21.240 of ogs to explain the code, you know what I'm saying, 1:34:21.400 --> 1:34:25.200 Like there's not many olds anymore. There is, but not that, 1:34:25.520 --> 1:34:30.760 but hold on being examples. A Swiss favorite and hip 1:34:30.800 --> 1:34:33.679 hop period. My favorite in hip hop is the nineties. 1:34:34.640 --> 1:34:37.080 And the reason I'm gonna say that is because ninties 1:34:37.120 --> 1:34:41.840 period night, because that's because that's take years beginning to 1:34:41.920 --> 1:34:50.400 hold that. Then because eight break, you know, I just 1:34:50.520 --> 1:34:55.960 felt like we were very experimental. It was very experimental. 1:34:56.160 --> 1:34:59.680 Everybody wants to sound different. Everybody's the goal was to 1:34:59.800 --> 1:35:04.920 be as far left as right as possible. Understand um, 1:35:05.800 --> 1:35:09.800 Now nowadays it's sounding like one producer in respect to 1:35:09.880 --> 1:35:13.680 all those producers. But nowadays it's an easy fix. It's 1:35:13.760 --> 1:35:18.400 like when before we had to like this table right 1:35:19.160 --> 1:35:22.080 to get to fix. You understand, it was a process 1:35:22.960 --> 1:35:26.520 and now it's like a program process. And no disrespect 1:35:26.560 --> 1:35:29.240 to the technology or that people using technology. I use 1:35:29.320 --> 1:35:36.240 the technology, but you know, be as that versus you 1:35:36.360 --> 1:35:40.560 can How are you going to be the producer that 1:35:40.680 --> 1:35:43.639 you want to be if people think you're three people? 1:35:44.960 --> 1:35:47.280 When I was Swiss, I was only Swiss. The only 1:35:47.360 --> 1:35:50.880 thing I can say was I was so Swiss that 1:35:51.000 --> 1:35:55.160 they thought it was Swiss Beats was a group. I 1:35:55.240 --> 1:35:56.680 used to be in the em like Yo, where's the 1:35:56.720 --> 1:35:58.519 rest of Swiss Beat? Stay over there? And I used 1:35:58.520 --> 1:36:02.519 to sing around one over here, this one's coming in here. 1:36:02.560 --> 1:36:05.400 Being later it was like, you know, the us that 1:36:05.479 --> 1:36:07.400 you was making it was so big that they thought 1:36:07.479 --> 1:36:11.080 you was You was like many of people, you know. 1:36:11.560 --> 1:36:14.040 And my thing that I say the producers is like, yo, 1:36:14.680 --> 1:36:18.320 that was you know, challenge yourself to be uh greater 1:36:18.479 --> 1:36:24.040 than the radio right And I'm sorry this is crazy, 1:36:24.400 --> 1:36:28.720 but is there any producer that you hate it? Like 1:36:28.920 --> 1:36:35.839 you this nigger got stopped. There's a lot of producers 1:36:35.880 --> 1:36:38.599 that's fake. But I can't say that. You know, hate 1:36:38.680 --> 1:36:41.679 is a is a big word, not not not hate 1:36:41.720 --> 1:36:44.479 like you don't want him to succeed, but like, damn 1:36:45.560 --> 1:36:49.519 this this thing is like Jones is not correct, Like 1:36:49.720 --> 1:36:52.439 you don't even get those people the time of dating 1:36:52.439 --> 1:36:54.720 and over there, you know what I'm saying, like my 1:36:54.880 --> 1:36:57.760 ads hard of THEND you to culture until what's right? 1:36:57.920 --> 1:37:02.000 I listened to feel like COUTI Bobma, they shot Day Noriega, 1:37:02.439 --> 1:37:05.080 different different things that you know, I gotta, I gotta. 1:37:05.400 --> 1:37:07.519 I got a variety of the sound cloud of my 1:37:07.640 --> 1:37:12.760 own brain. Even uh, you know somebody that's like being 1:37:12.840 --> 1:37:16.600 a little on those lines of faking this and that. 1:37:17.320 --> 1:37:20.400 Did you ever were you ever sample like heavy, like 1:37:20.720 --> 1:37:23.400 sampling old records because I don't I hate with people 1:37:23.479 --> 1:37:26.960 sample bad for TV. Let's just come on, don't change something. 1:37:27.720 --> 1:37:31.920 People keep trying to say this right here right now 1:37:32.720 --> 1:37:34.479 every time I ask you. That's why I'm asking him this, 1:37:34.920 --> 1:37:37.800 And you just changed the whole. Please go back back 1:37:37.800 --> 1:37:40.280 to this subject. Let's run back the mark. I let 1:37:40.320 --> 1:37:42.360 when people trying to rhyme with a band with TV, 1:37:42.479 --> 1:37:46.880 let's test telling me from tvl't please leave everybody. I 1:37:46.960 --> 1:37:49.960 say that right now they sample mad from TV's and balation. 1:37:50.000 --> 1:37:52.000 We're coming to see football change. Thank you, thank you, 1:37:53.960 --> 1:37:57.080 Please leave le play with studio. I'm sorry what you 1:37:57.160 --> 1:38:04.080 were saying. You got me that time. But were you 1:38:04.160 --> 1:38:06.360 ever did you ever sample? Were you ever sample heaving 1:38:06.400 --> 1:38:09.880 on old records? I never would sample heavy if out 1:38:09.920 --> 1:38:12.320 of the five hundred finish song dudes, you know. I 1:38:12.360 --> 1:38:14.600 know that for a fact, as I'm asking if you 1:38:14.680 --> 1:38:17.400 ever did it? So I like, I like samples. So 1:38:17.479 --> 1:38:20.040 it's my ignorance. I'm a DJ, he's a producer. This 1:38:20.400 --> 1:38:23.040 this might be ignorant question on my end. But do 1:38:23.160 --> 1:38:27.200 you think that you ushered in the production wave of 1:38:27.320 --> 1:38:32.160 not sampling went because they changed the game? You know, um, 1:38:32.560 --> 1:38:35.120 you know Farrell thank me and Jeff Blaze thank me 1:38:35.240 --> 1:38:38.679 because you know imagine, like before I started not sample 1:38:38.720 --> 1:38:42.439 and Puff Daddy had the James Brown samples total and 1:38:42.520 --> 1:38:45.400 all these different groups on smash and I came with 1:38:45.479 --> 1:38:48.240 these non samples and the reason why I came with 1:38:48.280 --> 1:38:51.160 the non samples because everything I was sampling, I felt 1:38:51.200 --> 1:38:54.280 like somebody was stealing something from me. I'm like, I 1:38:54.400 --> 1:38:57.439 just sample, it's like hey, and then he stole my sound, 1:38:57.560 --> 1:39:00.439 like no, that's not your sound. And then I got 1:39:00.560 --> 1:39:04.960 a U Yamaha and one or whatever, the Core game 1:39:05.080 --> 1:39:08.559 one call a game one, and I just started playing 1:39:08.680 --> 1:39:11.280 playing what I felt was good. And you know resci 1:39:11.360 --> 1:39:14.760 Pec Calv you know and in Halem No you know 1:39:14.920 --> 1:39:18.160 him keV cos you knows. You know what I'm saying. 1:39:18.240 --> 1:39:23.679 And I just was using the Core one and doing 1:39:23.760 --> 1:39:26.479 my thing, and I the reason why I liked it 1:39:26.640 --> 1:39:29.680 was because what I what I came with was unpredictable, 1:39:30.600 --> 1:39:32.360 and so I knew that nobody can come out with it. 1:39:32.840 --> 1:39:35.880 And I also knew that they can clear. There's no 1:39:36.000 --> 1:39:38.720 samples to clad. So what you heard right now, you 1:39:38.760 --> 1:39:42.559 can put out tomorrow. And that was like my my marketing, 1:39:42.880 --> 1:39:44.880 marketing playing at that time. So you don't have to 1:39:44.880 --> 1:39:48.519 share the publishing at all. I've gained a lot of 1:39:48.560 --> 1:39:51.360 publishing off of you know, That's what I'm saying. It 1:39:51.479 --> 1:39:54.200 changed the game. Yeah, I never even knew about publishing 1:39:54.320 --> 1:39:57.320 until I got the check I never I never knew 1:39:57.960 --> 1:40:01.000 the process of a publishing check, never knew a process 1:40:01.080 --> 1:40:04.680 of royal teasing mechanic. Who's all those things? Where do 1:40:04.760 --> 1:40:07.559 we learn that? Who teach us that? Nobody? What are 1:40:07.600 --> 1:40:09.679 we going to ask at school? They don't'ta teach us ship. 1:40:10.200 --> 1:40:13.720 Nobody don't teach us anything. You know, we just a 1:40:13.840 --> 1:40:16.880 part of this environment and we where we're creative means 1:40:16.920 --> 1:40:19.360 and we do we feel that's right. Nobody never talked 1:40:19.360 --> 1:40:22.400 to us about the business. And that's why and and 1:40:22.479 --> 1:40:26.000 two thousand seventeen on forward, I'm going to teach the business. 1:40:26.040 --> 1:40:28.840 I went to Harvard just because just so I can 1:40:28.960 --> 1:40:31.680 teach the people the business. I want to teach you 1:40:31.800 --> 1:40:35.040 are I want to teach you business for free. Education 1:40:35.120 --> 1:40:38.120 should be free, knowledge should be free. You understand the 1:40:38.200 --> 1:40:40.280 whole these things back from us? And then how are 1:40:40.280 --> 1:40:41.640 we going to get to the next level? How are 1:40:41.640 --> 1:40:43.760 we gonna seceed to the next level? We don't know 1:40:43.840 --> 1:40:46.040 what we're doing. We're just happy to make a sound. 1:40:46.760 --> 1:40:49.040 You understand what's the parameters of that sound to make 1:40:49.080 --> 1:40:52.080 our families living a better life other than a gett 1:40:52.200 --> 1:40:55.080 that we was brought up in. You understand, like my 1:40:55.200 --> 1:40:57.400 whole hood is dead. I don't know nobody in my 1:40:57.520 --> 1:41:00.639 hood right now, you know what I'm saying, Just like, damn, 1:41:00.960 --> 1:41:03.519 I'll go back to my streets. I want to build parks, 1:41:03.800 --> 1:41:06.560 all these different things. I don't know these motherfucker's. You 1:41:06.600 --> 1:41:08.680 know what I'm saying. It's like you wasn't around. Who 1:41:08.800 --> 1:41:12.040 is this? He might dance on me, you know, saying 1:41:12.160 --> 1:41:13.760 my man, who with a bunch of things like you 1:41:13.760 --> 1:41:15.920 know what I'm saying, Like I shouldn't be over here 1:41:16.040 --> 1:41:19.880 like this. But it's the reality of reality, and we 1:41:19.960 --> 1:41:22.680 gotta face him. We gotta change it. Everybody want to, 1:41:23.120 --> 1:41:25.760 uh talk about change, but the only change that we're 1:41:25.760 --> 1:41:28.880 gonna have us within. We gotta change with each other. 1:41:29.720 --> 1:41:32.720 You understand what's going on in Chicago, gotta change, what's 1:41:32.760 --> 1:41:35.160 going in New York, gotta change going on in the world. 1:41:35.200 --> 1:41:37.760 Gotta change. And that's when I come within. And we 1:41:37.880 --> 1:41:41.000 gotta be smart enough to change those barriers and those rules. 1:41:41.360 --> 1:41:46.439 Put them guns aways and think more women's moms white. 1:41:47.160 --> 1:41:53.040 She gotta my wife, Guys, my wife got I got 1:41:53.080 --> 1:41:55.280 seven am in the morning, was like, I'm going to 1:41:55.400 --> 1:41:58.920 the women's March.

I believe so 1:42:11.160 --> 1:42:14.479 the one no, I know when they stick together, no period, 1:42:15.400 --> 1:42:19.240 The women is more powerful than us because the devotion 1:42:19.400 --> 1:42:25.599 to um realism is different. Like we were, we're like um, 1:42:26.560 --> 1:42:30.720 we're trapped in a lot of different things.
