00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: that's kind of going viral for I would say the

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 3: wrong reasons. He definitely gets a lot of attention off

21
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: of it. Right we're talking about my man and ice Q,

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: and this is what I got to say about q

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: qbe is barred none. One of the greatest rappers of

24
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 3: all time. Like you cannot say nothing about his career.

25
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: You know from him from the time he launched with

26
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: n w A just all the stuff he did America's

27
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: most wanted, like he got classic albums, and he's known,

28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: he's known for being vicious on that microphone.

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: I would see it one time.

30
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: I would say, at one time, que for sure one

31
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: of the most respected rappers on the West Coat, not

32
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: you know, not Gus the West Coas, but rat period.

33
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: We say so when you agree, i'd say.

34
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 4: And steal significant as far as concerned.

35
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: Cube is a superstar. No way am I trying to

36
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: be a little his legacy or nothing like that. A

37
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: lot of people have a problem with the visuals he

38
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: dropped for that for his new single MM with him

39
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: the scarface on the like dressed like babies you know

40
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: where they had the babysuits on when they.

41
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Looked like two little toddlers.

42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 3: Right. No, DJ Pooh produced the video. I think sometimes man,

43
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: people don't want you to change. People want you. They'll

44
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: want you ever to have humor. I think if you,

45
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: especially an artist of cubes caliber. I think people always

46
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: want to see him as the predator.

47
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 4: Well you gotta look at you know, choose iconic status.

48
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: As far as hip hop concern is substantiated. I guess

49
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 4: it's the a parody or take on some people feeling

50
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: like because of our stature or our or maturity that

51
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 4: we should I guess, you know, partaken and other activities

52
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 4: than trying to rap.

53
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

54
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: So I guess that's a play on you know, Q

55
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: taking it like what age am I supposed to act them?

56
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: And then the paletyyond that toddnership.

57
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know. I guess you know, we

58
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 4: would have to act. What was the concept behind it?

59
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: Maybe it's the concept of you think a niggas should

60
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: be young or infant or that stage to be hip hop.

61
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 4: So it's a play on that. I guess.

62
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: Well, I think, first of all, this is what I think, man,

63
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: this is my honest opinion. I think Cube is successful.

64
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 3: I think Cube was rich as fucking I think Cube

65
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: could do whatever the hell you want to. I think

66
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: it was just I think it was just as attempt.

67
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: I think he was being funny. I think he just

68
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: you know, having the humorous I think he was having

69
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: fun with this shit, you know.

70
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: And they're a lot of his projects as far as

71
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 4: movies are concerned.

72
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: They deal with the.

73
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: Comedy aspect, lodging spells outside the seriousness of what he

74
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: has done as an actor. Here's a lot of films

75
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 4: that play on the comedy stature. So I could see

76
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 4: in his eyes it's a play on that. I'm not

77
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 4: the serious. I'm crowning you feel me?

78
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously. The one thing I didn't like, though, Man,

79
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: this is what I was saying, that is Cube is

80
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: such icon. I don't think Cube ever knows. Oh, nobody

81
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 3: explanation man for what he chooses to do with his career,

82
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: because he's at this point, he's in his own money

83
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 3: and he's putting his own records out right. And he

84
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: responded to this nobody guy on Twitter, right, a guy

85
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: on Twitter said that you should go hang the microphone looking.

86
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: Cub responded back to him, when I think when you

87
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: do that stuff with people, man, you kind of give

88
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: them a stage. Everybody don't need a stage, you feel

89
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Had he ignored it and just blocked

90
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: to do it or whatever, nobody would have paid attention

91
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: to it. He just went on about his business, but

92
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 3: he gave this due to form, so that means that

93
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: it obviously bothered him.

94
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know what I'm saying.

95
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 4: Sometimes people can't go too far with their opens and

96
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: sometimes you get into a position to where you don't

97
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: feel like turning the other cheek. You get me to

98
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 4: you deal with that shit. You fail me, especially myself

99
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 4: as an artist. I guess you have to be able

100
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 4: to take the criticism. But sometimes I like that. Like

101
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: I said, sometimes people can go too far and and

102
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: you might you might feel the need to address certain

103
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 4: shit that motherfuckers is staying on your page because you're

104
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 4: looking for positivity, you know what I'm saying, the same situation.

105
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: Not to speak on whatever, but it was a situation

106
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: where I posted something and there was a comment made

107
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: and they had to do with the post. It was

108
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 4: totally just some other shit. You feel me and sometimes

109
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: you know, I have to go in the DM and

110
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 4: it's like, you know, what was the need for all that?

111
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: Not that he was saying anything negative towards me, But

112
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 4: the post is for the promotion of my shit, not

113
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: for you to get off your grievance about some shit

114
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: that might be ailing you, and because you know there

115
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: are people watching, you feel the need to, you know,

116
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: so like from tars people or fans or whoever, go

117
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: to extra mile and it might make you uncomfortable. Sometimes

118
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 4: it might make you have to address some motherfucking.

119
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: Well.

120
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: Cube is a very significant figure, not just on the

121
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: West Coast but in all the hip hop period. And

122
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: you know what, you just made a valid point. All

123
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: of his movies, with the exception of Boys in the Hood,

124
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: have been light hearted, humorous movies. Friday, Are We There Yet? Barbershop?

125
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: And I actually liked that side of the Cube as

126
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 3: an actor. You feel what I'm saying. He makes good movies.

127
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: He makes good, light hearted movies, right And I think

128
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: this right here. I think people get into place, man,

129
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: to where they don't want people to change, Like people

130
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: are very unacceptable change when it comes to music. It

131
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: seems like like they're not down with that. Like if

132
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: I think if you did a certain record, man, people

133
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: will look at you like you was crazy. You know

134
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, If you did a Will Smith style record, man,

135
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: I think people will look at you like as who

136
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: lost his mind. I don't know if I would like

137
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: to see doing all records like that. You feel me what, Yeah,

138
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: but this is what I was gonna say. You've paid

139
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 3: your dues as an artists, an artist should be able

140
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 3: to do what they want to. That don't mean everybody

141
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: go accept it, right right, That don't necessarily mean everybody

142
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 3: gonna be an acceptance of it.

143
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: But I don't think.

144
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: I think sometimes these fans they say stuff and they

145
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: take it, they make things real personal to where you

146
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: almost got to address it.

147
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: Well, some times, you, like I said it, sometimes motherfuger

148
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: might go too far and you may feel that me

149
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 4: there's always you know, turn the other cheap, be the

150
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 4: bigger person and all that shit. But sometimes a motherfuger

151
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: might just touch that motherfucking spot to where you feel like, oh,

152
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: just that going a little bit too far. I might

153
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: have to holler at on me or you go, or

154
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 4: anybody with an excessive opinion you know, yeah, you know what, brilliant,

155
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: that's just what it is. It's just a motherfucker's opinion, right.

156
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: But like I said, sometimes some people's opinions might be

157
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 4: a little too excessive and it might touch a nerve

158
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: especially I don't know, if you know, if you feel

159
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 4: confident about what you're putting out and what you're doing,

160
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: then you confident about it. Would you feel a certain

161
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 4: way if you didn't feel as confident about your pride

162
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 4: and the motherfucker was telling you, you know, some shit,

163
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: I'll steal nigga eel if you knew deep down that

164
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 4: your shit wasn't that's popping as you would hope it

165
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: would be.

166
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: And now you're seeing people comment.

167
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: And say certain things what you feel that's why because

168
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: you not as confident as the project as.

169
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: You felt it would be. Well, this is what I say.

170
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: I definitely think when you respond to something that you

171
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 3: already have something on your mind, right, Like let's say

172
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: you've just been getting bombarded with negative stuff all day

173
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 3: and the man's bus was just firebomb You see what

174
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: I'm saying. He probably didn't want to hear that shit

175
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: at the time, because the first thing you see when

176
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: you turn your thing on. I've had people to way

177
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: they felt like they could say certain things to me

178
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: and just do it with no thing. But then I

179
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 3: go look at their page and see that they only

180
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: had maybe sixteen followers and they was following five thousand people,

181
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: and they just like losers. So it's like, I'm not

182
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: gonna respond to a loser, right, you don't hold no

183
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: significance over my life. Man, I think I've kind of

184
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 3: been past the point man that I allow people to

185
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: live rent free.

186
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: Inside my head, yeah, I hear, I hear that saying

187
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: a lot, you know, And I guess when you dealt

188
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: with the music business and you dealt with opt it,

189
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 4: when you dealt with in the music business that you

190
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 4: deal with business and other bullshit shit don't always gonna

191
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 4: go your way, you know what I'm saying. It's not

192
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 4: gonna always go your way. So you have tomorrow how

193
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: to have thick skin, especially in this entertainment world of music, movies,

194
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 4: you know, writing books, whatever whatever it is, and they

195
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 4: entertain feel right because directors and movie trump pedice can

196
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: put our movies spend twenty thirty forty million that mother,

197
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: we're gonna even make back fifteen twenty the first week.

198
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 4: So that looked at as a bomb, as a failure.

199
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: You're gonna have the writers criticize, right when there's a

200
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: bad movie or they think somebody acted back. You see

201
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: them go to the columns and the shit real quick

202
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: and be like, oh, this movie trying to suck give

203
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: me the three or four. The rating was real low

204
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: on it. People can voice their opinions, sot a do

205
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: so I guess, you know, in a sense, we have

206
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 4: to be able to You gotta have to pick skin,

207
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, because not everybody gonna like

208
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 4: what I'll put out he gives me.

209
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: And thus, when you open yourself.

210
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 4: To public opinion by being in that spotlight, right, by

211
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 4: being in that entertainment world, you open yourself up to

212
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: rid of chule and comments and opinions, and you have

213
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 4: to be able to deal with that, right because if not,

214
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 4: you shouldn't be in that field.

215
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: Well, that was the other part I was gonna say

216
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: to I was gonna say to you know, que made

217
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: a comment to you know, go find your humor and

218
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: get out my business. I think when you decide to

219
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 3: release an album to the public, you kind of make

220
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: it everybody's business because somebody's gonna have an opinion, whether

221
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: that opinion is solicited or not.

222
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: You know, I try my.

223
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 3: Best man to always be respectful about things, even though

224
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: even if it's something I may not particularly like. I

225
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: don't feel you have to actually bash somebody to disrespect

226
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: somebody to say, you know, give a casual observation on

227
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 3: an album. More peace of art, because all alreadience is

228
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 3: all subject if anyway right, something to me and you

229
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: might not like it, might be twenty thousand other people

230
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: that like it. At the end of the day, the

231
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 3: only will he did hit me and told me he

232
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: wanted to watch you show down in Houston, and he

233
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: said it was packed. Man, he said it was a

234
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: It was a rocking ass show. And you know it

235
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: was fact. This dude filled the whole stadium, you know,

236
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: whole arena. He still can go out, man at fifty

237
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: six years old and feel the whole arena. Man doing classics.

238
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: It's at the end of the day, man, I think

239
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: Cube didn't tell the hell he want to because it

240
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: ain't gonna it ain't gonna stop. And I think at

241
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: this point he just having fun.

242
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: I mean, you got to, uh, when you've been through

243
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: as as much as Cube has been through, as far

244
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 4: as the business is concerned, gip pop, the movie world,

245
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 4: being a hip pop artist, being a label, being a

246
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 4: movie producer, acting in movies, getting the scripts to act

247
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: in other people's movies outside of your own. They can

248
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: in stride and when you have done as much as

249
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: Cube has done for West Coast hip hop and hip

250
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: hop in general, certain certain people we look to as

251
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: or heroes as far as sustaining on a legacy of

252
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: what we loved as consumers and fans, because not only

253
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 4: a line artists. I'm a consumer because I buy shit.

254
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 4: I'm a fan because I love when I hear a

255
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: good song. So certain niggas have the right to you know,

256
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 4: and que I can do this shit because I started

257
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: this shit.

258
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: You get me. So if I feel like I want

259
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: to put out a record.

260
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: And this is how the direction I want to go

261
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 4: and I want to clown and I want to do

262
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 4: a video where I'm mocking motherfuckers who say we should

263
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: be acting on aids, and we should because we always

264
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: go up against that with the newer generation and just

265
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: people in general not feeling like we should be rapping

266
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: or making music or whatever it is because for some

267
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 4: reason they want to restrict and they want to put

268
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 4: an age limit on hip hop, which is ridiculous because

269
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 4: no other genre of music does that to its artist,

270
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 4: past or.

271
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: Path, praiser or even future.

272
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 4: You want to record to you a hundred years old,

273
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure if you could record as an old

274
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: school pop artist, or if Dolly Parton wanted to go

275
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 4: out and put out a record, she could put out

276
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 4: a record, nobody would tell her.

277
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: Why don't you just sit at home and stop rapping?

278
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: I mean, stop lake and country song you two motherfucking

279
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: old Nobody disrespects their appears outside of hippop. You actually

280
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 4: get disrespected as a legacy artist and hippop because it's like,

281
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 4: it's it's absurd for you to be putting out music

282
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 4: to some people.

283
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: And that's just some critics, you know.

284
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 4: So you got to in one hand, you got to

285
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 4: laugh because the video was comical. But then in another hand,

286
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 4: you got to give a nigga a salute for standing

287
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 4: up to motherfuckers who feel like we should be hanging

288
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 4: it up when the mic is concerned. Who are you

289
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 4: to tell me? I am acting my age, motherfucker, but

290
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 4: I'm a I'm a clown, because what age is supposed

291
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 4: to be able to wrap the babies?

292
00:17:52,280 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: They getn't. So you know, well, this is the thing,

293
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 3: right they I listened to the whole album. Here's some

294
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 3: songs I like on there. It's not like like the

295
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: thing Neil is Man, I think what people mission this

296
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 3: huge music is not whack, right, I think he's just

297
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: fighting his own legiends, so to speak. Because you got

298
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 3: to remember, I heard Lethal Injection when it first dropped, right,

299
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 3: America's most wanted not not Lethal Ejection, but Death Certificate,

300
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: Death Certificate when it first dropped, And that was white

301
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 3: one of the best albums I've ever heard, right still

302
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: to this day.

303
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: Right, And I think Cube is fighting that. And I think.

304
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 3: You got a whole generation of fans that don't remember

305
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: that Cube or right, they just no cue from being

306
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 3: Craig on Craig on Friday or you know what I'm saying,

307
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 3: the dude from a barbership, right, that's all they know

308
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: him from.

309
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: They don't remember that that vicious ice Cube.

310
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: So as long as we doing music, man, as long

311
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 3: as we're putting ourselves in front of people, people have

312
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: the right court of public opinion. Right if people go

313
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: say what they feel they can say is some of

314
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: these dudes is brutal. But I'll tell you this, half

315
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 3: the people that dropping their unsolicited in comments and their

316
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: opinions about shit don't even have decent lives. They mad

317
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: at theyself but that's why they come so hard as

318
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: somebody else, right, somebody out to living their dreams of

319
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 3: doing what they're doing, because it's always it's a touch

320
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: of jealousy to it. Man, it's always jealousy.

321
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 4: I don't know what beyond people would saying negatives being

322
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 4: a hater. I don't understand the reasoning behind. And and

323
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 4: again these are people's own opinions to why a motherfucker

324
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 4: might even stray some shit like hang it up?

325
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: Are are you a cute fan?

326
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 4: Or are you just a motherfucker who popped in for

327
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: a minute to see because you've heard the ice tube

328
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 4: and the Legenderry ice tube and whatever, And maybe he

329
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 4: just popped in and was like, maybe I didn't.

330
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: Like the project.

331
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: You know, we have to be careful in the way

332
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 4: we address our opinions because you fould the easily just said,

333
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 4: you know, hate you if you know what I'm saying.

334
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan.

335
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 4: You know I really didn't might like this project too much,

336
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 4: but you know, I'm always down and I'm gonna always

337
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 4: support and you know I'll be waiting for the next one.

338
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: You know, that would have been something that was not me.

339
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: That's the type of shit.

340
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 4: I would try to say if I'm a genuine fan,

341
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: But if I'm just a dumb motherfucker and trying to

342
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 4: get attention by saying the negative shit on the motherfucker's page,

343
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: then I don't think I would even address it because

344
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 4: I know what the mother trying to do.

345
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: You're trying to get more motherfucking likes and motherfucking.

346
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: That's what that thing has been seen over a million times,

347
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: and that's what I'm saying. People that do stuff like

348
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: aren't real fans. So I've had people, We've all had

349
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: people that try to.

350
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 4: You can't be a fan if you're telling the motherfucker

351
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 4: you need to hang it up. Like I said, maybe

352
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 4: this is just not your cup of tea on this project.

353
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 4: But my man has always put out significant music, so maybe.

354
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: This one you didn't like.

355
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 4: But there's a way to address that, and there's a

356
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 4: way to voice your opinion in the positive aspect to

357
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 4: where you not speaking click bait type of shit and

358
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 4: attention for motherfuckers you on the Oh look, this nigga

359
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 4: reached by Ice Fool responded to this nigga it that

360
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 4: made his century.

361
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: You give me.

362
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: This is the one thing I would say right, And

363
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: this is what I tell everybody, be careful singing them,

364
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 3: singling out the paters, and actually rewarding them for their behavior,

365
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 3: because when you respond to hater, you actually wordinator Hey,

366
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: if you're right, you acknowledging them right, and you letting

367
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: them know you bothered me. So I'm gonna have to

368
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: say something to you. And I'm pretty sure it's millions

369
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 3: of people or thousands of people at least, who have

370
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 3: left positive comments on CUE, but he ain't probably say

371
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: none of them. Not Once you feel what I'm saying,

372
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: I think that we need to focus on the catch.

373
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: Well then or unless you do that still, then what

374
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 4: signals out the difference of that fan from the.

375
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: Twenty others you give me? I mean the twenty million others.

376
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 4: It's always the negative motherfuckers that stabbed out the boldest

377
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 4: and that you want to address because they saying, come

378
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 4: off the wall shit you feel mem Have you.

379
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: Ever had anybody tell you that she was in height

380
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 3: you should hang the microphone up.

381
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 4: Not in so many words, but like I said, I

382
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 4: still fit into that class of people feeling like, you know,

383
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 4: we should hang the micup at a certain aide. If

384
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 4: I had a person directly tell me, oh man, that

385
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 4: ain't it my nigga, you need to hang it up.

386
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: I mean there's people who would turn around and when

387
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 4: you go, oh yeah, I'm getting ready to put out

Speaker 1: You see people who goes okay and or who tears

390
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: you get me.

391
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: It's it's not that necessarily the motherfucking taint rap.

392
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: It's just that.

393
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: Nigga.

00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 4: with it. You know, you see the infomercials on TV

397
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 4: and when you get a.

398
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: Certain age, you get a break from your.

399
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 4: Insurance and shit, yeah, like you you're fitted to that class.

400
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 4: Now they feel like they feel like hip hop is

401
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: the young man's game. It's it's like I said, it's

402
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 4: outside of any other genre of music. Whether it's R

403
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: and B, whether it's pop, whether it's jazz, whether it's blues,

404
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 4: whether it's country, whether it's motherfucking Asian, whether it's Puerto Rican,

405
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 4: whether it's Lexicon.

406
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: It don't matter.

407
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 4: It could be eighty and it's still putting out records

408
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: and if you have the significant fan base, it'll be

409
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand motherfuckers that a big ass concert or

410
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 4: whatever whatever.

411
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: They respect that hip hop is like.

412
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 4: Hip hop is like sports, nigga, right, hip hop ain't

413
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 4: even like the drug game, because if you're able to

414
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 4: sustain in the drug game, you can look up and nigga,

415
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: you can beat fifty five sixty and still be balling.

416
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: You can still be seventy balling pimping.

417
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 4: You get me nigga out there with holes and cat

418
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 4: Daddy and the nigga who there kept his nose to

419
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 4: the motherfucking grind and ain't exposed, And just then, no,

420
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 4: nigga's nigga the generation of Kilo happers, you feel me?

421
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 4: But hip hop, Oh no, nigga, once you turn thirty five,

422
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 4: you might as well start packing it up, because now.

423
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 3: Hip hop is looking to be the voice of the

424
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: young and angry. I believe in I think that people

425
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 3: that really preach agism, because that's what the deos, you know,

426
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: to tell somebody, hell, you too old to do something right.

427
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 3: I believe a certain among those people are rappers themselves.

428
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: I think only I've never heard an actual fan say, oh,

429
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 3: I don't listen to him because he's too old. I

430
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: just think people listen to good music and bad music.

431
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 3: You know, it's either good music or bad music, right,

432
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 3: I think people what they attracted to, right. And I

433
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: say that because I was and I'm not gonna get

434
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: this guy no kind of shine. And I saw this

435
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: guy the other day. He put a post and he

436
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 3: had ice huge video picture from the video of him

437
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 3: and face says, the baby's right and said, here's another

438
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: example of a man wasting a perfectly cut budget that

439
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: could have been spent on a young rapper out here

440
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: in La. What he could have took that money and

441
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: promoted the young rapper in La. And it's like kind

442
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: of like, dude, who are you to tell this man

443
00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 3: what to spend his money on.

444
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 4: Well, usually that comes from a motherfucker who's trying to

445
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 4: get into the business and they feel that they're hot

446
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 4: and they're the next up and coming thing, And why

447
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 4: spend money on this old school, last nigga when that

448
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: money could have been directed at me?

449
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: But the talent just don't be there. It's a nigga.

450
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 4: It's a gang of niggas who can rap, you feel

451
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 4: me can niggas who can rap?

452
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: But can you create music?

453
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 4: That's the whole difference between a lot of iconic artists,

454
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 4: and you know, no disrespect to my young generation because

455
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: they get theirs. And that's why I never have a

456
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 4: hatred or a haterithm for the young generation of music,

457
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 4: even though we on a different page with our shit

458
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 4: that we're still trying to create. And not that a

459
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: nigga couldn't do that type of motherfucking shit, but what

460
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 4: I look like doing some shit that the twenty year

461
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 4: olds are doing.

462
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: So I stay in my own lane because I feel.

463
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 4: That I have solidified myself and have enough fan base

464
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 4: over the years and over the countries and states and

465
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 4: different continents that I can sustain putting out music. But

466
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 4: you've still got to put out some quality shit, now,

467
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: you feel me, because the cards are triple stacked against

468
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 4: you as an iconic figure because you have to compete,

469
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: and so you have to at least put out shit

470
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 4: that's decent. If you put out shit that was significant,

471
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 4: I don't think you would get the negativity of AIDS

472
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 4: as much as you would if your shit was of

473
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: high quality.

474
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: You get me.

475
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna tell you this, though I hear that

476
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 3: argument all the time. Why don't y'all move out the

477
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: way and let the young people through. It's almost like

478
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: they begging, like, like, please stop making music, so somebody

479
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: would make something significant, make something to make someone want

480
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: to play your music. Because I'm gonna be honest with you,

481
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 3: hip hop is on the decline for the first time

482
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: in fifty years.

483
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: Bro.

484
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 3: Hip hop is fifty some years old, and we've dominated

485
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: hip We've dominated like music as a whole from the

486
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 3: on set, and it's starting to go down. And that's

487
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: because of the quality of the music. A lot of

488
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: these people are just making shitty music. Man, the music

489
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 3: is not no good. I'm saying that. I'm not an hater.

490
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 3: A lot of the music that these young kids making,

491
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: it's just not good music. A lot of it I

492
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: wouldn't even classify as rat.

493
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 4: Hey my the computer working right now. I'm about to

494
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 4: jump in, all right, yo, y'all. Yeah, there we go,

495
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 4: right there, there we go. We get Oh, you're on

496
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 4: the phone, y'all. You see that dedication. You did it

497
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,560

00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't speak. We all good.

499
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 4: So that's what I say, man, it's the it's it's

500
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 4: just the significance of of how good your project is,

501
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 4: because you still got to put out some decent music.

502
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: You feel me at the end of the day, you

503
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: you want to you you you're competing.

511
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 4: but you gotta at least do the twenty.

524
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 4: your material. Your material is, we're not expecting it to

Speaker 4: be a twenty man if you want to compete in

528
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 4: the in the section.

529
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: And I will say that. And when I say these

530
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: young cats see a lot of people Kendrick is forty.

531
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 3: I believe Kendrick is almost forty if he's not forty already. Right,

532
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about him, I'm not talking about the

533
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: j Coles. I'm not talking about the Drakes. Them dudes

534
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 3: don't careers. That's over ten years. They kind of the

535
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 3: OG's And at this point, right, a lot of this

536
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: stuff is just not good because it's not being developed.

537
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: Right.

538
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: And even if you did the side take a young

539
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: rapper me, you had a conversation about this, right. You know,

540
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 3: I got a record label and I'm doing some things,

541
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 3: and I'm really doing it for the love of the

542
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 3: music because there's really not a lot of money and

543
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 3: actually making the music. Now, you know, you got guys

544
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: out there. As a dude that made beats and that

545
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: can produce, there's not really a reason for me to

546
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 3: go out there and really try to push my beats

547
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: because you got cats to selling beats online. I don't

548
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: know how to tell you, Lisa beat, but they leasing

549
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: beats online for twenty five dollars. Bro.

550
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: If some of that shit is fired, some more was fired.

551
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: So how do I compete with that?

552
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: Do I go out and put my beats up on

553
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: beat Stars or one of these other sites and say, hey,

554
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 3: shoot me fifty dollars and you can have a license

555
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 3: for this.

556
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: Hell no, that's not even worth That's not worth doing, bro.

557
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: And it's like they've just the value out the music

558
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: so bad now, man with I almost think it was

559
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: on purpose because the record companies making their money either way,

560
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: all of them got ownership and Spotify. Everybody from these

561
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: all these record labels are getting a piece of the

562
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: action right right. They play on the way just to

563
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 3: take everybody kind of knock everybody of the loop.

564
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: And I would say, like, you know, you got guys like.

565
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 3: Rock Marcy Now the Benny, the Butcher, those cats. That's

566
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: kind of selling the consume right now, and they ain't

567
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: making their money.

568
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 4: If you're selling a product and it's product that people want,

569
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 4: people gonna find a way to get it.

570
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: Right. That's with any ding right now.

571
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 4: With with with the Internet and Google search and all

572
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 4: that other bullshit. Right, you can basically just request what

573
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 4: you want and if it exists, you get me, you

574
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: can buy it. So, you know, if niggas have a

575
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 4: great social media presence, if niggas are putting out some

576
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: decent product of music that they feel consumers feel like

577
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 4: they want what they want, you get me. It's like

578
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 4: when you go out to eat, motherfucker you're gonna order.

579
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 4: When you're ordering something, you not ordering it because whatever.

580
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 4: You ain't ordering some shit because you don't like it, right,

581
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 4: You ordering this shit because you like that shit. You

582
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 4: planning on fucking that shit up. You planing on cleaning

583
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 4: the plate. So and then there's times, you know, and

584
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 4: this is with consumers too. There sometimes you might want

585
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 4: to try some shit, right, you might hope it's good.

586
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 4: I mean, it looked good. Right, this is a place

587
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 4: that you frequented it before. You know, you've never tried

588
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 4: this other product. So again, your shit got to be

589
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 4: good and if people want it, they're gonna be able

590
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 4: to get it. And it's just another way for us

591
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 4: as artists to try to stand firm on believing in

592
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 4: ourselves and gambling on ourselves, right, Because if you gonna

593
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 4: let Spotify and all the mother places gamble on your

594
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 4: mother fucking income and your position in the hip hop game,

595
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 4: you might as well gamble and roll the dice yourself, right.

596
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: So I might as well just put this shit up

597
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: on my own.

598
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 4: Site, and instead of making sixty cent, I might as

599
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 4: well make a full ten dollars and just hopefully push

600
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 4: the shit on my page or you know, whatever price

601
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 4: is a nigga pushing his product for, because.

602
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 3: We're telling you right now, we ain't we selling for

603
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: way more than ten dollars.

604
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: Bro.

605
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 4: I'm just saying in the aspect of, you know, of

606
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 4: what people gonna spend, a person donna spend whatever they

607
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 4: want to spend on what they want to have, whether

608
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 4: it's motherfucking ten dollars, whether it's one hundred dollars. My

609
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 4: aspect of saying, you're still making more money than you

610
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 4: would make from Spotify pushing shit on your own on

611
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 4: your own platform, And that's what a lot of artists

612
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 4: are starting to do because, like you said, and inflation

613
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 4: has risen to get me and to press up a

614
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 4: CD and package it up and get it done and

615
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 4: all that. It's valuable to a true consumer. So you know,

616
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 4: shit is the fans are willing to get what they

617
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 4: want to get. Yeah, the thing is right, you got

618
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 4: Cee these right now? Man, I would say, right now,

619
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 4: Vinyl is still expensive to make. Vinyl has always been

620
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 4: expensive to make. That's why vinyl costs went right exactly.

621
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 4: You have some people sell a vinyl for two hundred

622

00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 4: Some people who are just passing through might have an

654
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 4: opinion about what they like and don't like.

655
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 3: You know, one thing Willie De told me was, well,

656
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 3: Cube did the show on him, Houston. You know how

657
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 3: to say even sort of lights to the good your

658
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: blunt and it read ice Cube's a pin.

659
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 4: He had a blint floated over the arena, bro right,

660
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:09,479
Speaker 4: like right, the only traces on the road with them.

661
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 4: You know he built them two cars. Mm yeah, he

662
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 4: built them two low riders. He built the uh, the

663
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 4: good day Lowrider, and he built the boys in the

664
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 4: hood Lowrider.

665
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 3: That's due shout up to shout out to the homie Chris.

666
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 3: But you gotta just think about this, right, Cube obviously

667
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 3: don't need the money, right, And the reason why bring

668
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 3: up the PLMT not only because that's built like I

669
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 3: would have been hyped if I have saw some ship

670
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: like that the show, right, But to put those blimps

671
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 3: in the sky costs a lot of money, bro, If

672
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken, it's more than twenty thousand dollars.

673
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying.

674
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 4: You got a Cube, it's up his his you know,

675
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 4: he's he's he's a good showman.

676
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: He puts on good showman ship. Oh he put through,

677
00:40:58,920 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: he puts.

678
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 3: Because I'm gonna tell you, young people, I've seen a

679
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: lot of y'all perform. It's some of y'all to get busy.

680
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna go into that right now. Some of

681
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 3: y'all get busy, but a lot of y'all really need

682
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 3: to work on y'all stage presence out here, dudes rapping

683
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 3: over the tracks, just standing up there kind of like this.

684
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: Hey, the song is going on. They just standing up there, just.

685
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 3: Kind of just just doing whatever right up. Is still

686
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 3: one of the best performers in hip hop, still one

687
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 3: of the best performers in hip hop by far. And

688
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 3: for him to go out and spend the money on

689
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 3: a blimp, right, that means he's doing this for the love,

690
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 3: because that means he probably spent the significant portion of

691
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 3: his money, you feel what I'm saying, just to put

692
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 3: that show on. And I remember Willie de Make sing

693
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 3: that he did the show before down there, and Q

694
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 3: kind of operated at a loss on the show, like

695
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 3: because he just likes being out like this a dude.

696
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 3: They just love hip hop, bro, Like he for sure

697
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 3: don't need it no more at this point.

698
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 4: I mean, if you in the position to where you

699
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 4: can put together your shows.

700
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: And you can go out on the road and do

701
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 1: twenty thirty dates and give people that that reminiscent feeling

702
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: of yester Year's hip hop, and especially with.

703
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 4: Somebody like Ice cue Cube, we've traveled with through time

704
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 4: as far as his music is concerned. So He'll take

705
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 4: you all the way back to once at a time

706
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 4: and the projects to something he put out last week,

707
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 4: and that shows longevity.

708
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 1: In hip hop.

709
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 4: Not no mixtapes, No disrespect to mixtapes and whatever people

710
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 4: do to get on and whatever. But this as a

711
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 4: dude who has sustained a career over decades. As far

712
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 4: as him concerned, hip hop been around fifty years. A

713
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 4: lot of us have been putting out music for maybe

714
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 4: thirty thirty five forty years. You're getting me at a

715
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 4: time where hip hop was frowned upon and you got

716
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 4: banned for a way you talked and what you look

717
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:20,440

777
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 4: the block.

778
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's no more hood at all. Man.

779
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 3: They seem like they're tearing all that down. But this

780
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 3: is what they say. You box you on Wine eight.

781
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 3: M C eight is not considered a negative influence, but

782
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 3: rather a complex figure who draws on his difficult upbringing

783
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 3: for his music. While his music often portrays the realities

784
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 3: of street life, which can include violence and gangs, he

785
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 3: has stated he used the rap to tell stories and

786
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: does not glorify street life. He is also an active

787
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 3: member of the Crypt gang, but as also are for

788
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 3: critical perspectives on the dangers of gang culture, particularly regarding

789
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 3: his influence. As they say about you, they say that

790
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 3: she was a storyteller, bro that she was a good figure

791
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 3: of the music.

792
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 4: I've never tried to be a negative influence to because.

793
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, it was my choice to

794
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: join a gang. I think have to.

795
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 4: We all lived in poverty at one point. I grew

796
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 4: up in Georgian You get me. That's a that's that's

797
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 4: a bad start right there. Not to say that Compton

798
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 4: was bad because I tell motherfucker's all the John my child.

799
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 4: The upbringing was lovely and I didn't know. I didn't

800
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 4: know what poverty was. Even though we was in poverty,

801
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 4: I didn't know what that shit was. We stayed in

802
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 4: the house, we had a vehicle to go back and forth,

803
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 4: and we didn't start. The lights was always on. You

Speaker 4: getting it was was gang baying and dope dealing and

805
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:37,279

806
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 4: growing up in coming gin.

807
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:39,719

Speaker 3: know that's happened a couple of times. Man, And really,

862
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 3: I don't think we should take time for.

863
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 4: Granted, No you can't. You gotta take every day and

864
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 4: stride and it is what it is. Enjoy every day.

865
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 4: And it's okay to dream and have plans, but you

866
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 4: know everything is unexpected. Everything you know, life can throw

867
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 4: you a curve ball. So I wake up tomorrow and

Speaker 4: And I want Friday. I'm gonna do what I gotta

870
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 4: do on Friday. And that's how it works.

871
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think man shut out to Cube. I

872
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind.

873
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 3: That's on my bucket list to actually be able to

874
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 3: sit down with Cube man and we have a conversation

875
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 3: with him one day, just about this career as the whole,

876
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 3: you know, because he's done some mother, he's a lection.

877
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of people throw that term lex

878
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 3: a round with these definitely a legend and they brought

879
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 3: good music to the coach and it's done a lot

880
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 3: of things for the culture.

881
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: Man.

882
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 3: I think if people go back and actually look at

883
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 3: people's body of work and look at the impact on

884
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 3: the culture, I think they're handled. Handle these people with

885
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 3: a new form of reference. You know. I think somebody

886
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 3: like you definitely deserves our respect. I think he I

887
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 3: don't think people should be allowed to just come at him,

888
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 3: tell him to put the microphone down, Like, who the

889
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 3: hell does that do? Tell him to put the mic

Speaker 3: down up?

891
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 4: And like I said, sometimes you're gonna run into people

892
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 4: who just and and and most of the time they're nobodies, right,

893
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 4: They're not always a newbody. And most of the time

894
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 4: those are people who are seeking attention and want to

895
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 4: just be seen or heard.

896
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,399

918
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 4: BA their glory on for a minute.

919
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 3: Well, I remember, if you remember brought one time, there

920
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 3: was no access to artists like that. You had to

921
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 3: actually write a letter and if you could reach the

922
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 3: actual artists right you didn't have the way you can

923
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 3: just go send somebody a DM or go on somebody's

924
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 3: posts and just say some old fucked up shit.

925
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: Man.

926
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 3: I think that we need to start giving the artists,

927
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 3: need to start bringing that mystique bag and not giving

928
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 3: everybody access.

929
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 4: I think that what you do well, I used to

930
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 4: always tell only chill. You can't make yourself accessible to everyone.

931
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 4: That's why I've torn down and the social media a lot.

932
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 4: I would used to be on there every day checking shit.

933
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 4: I can't even tell you the last time and before

934
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 4: I posted the album cover, shit that I've been on

935
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,280
Speaker 4: Instagram in months, months could roll by, and I don't

936
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 4: even think the look on the Instagram. Most you know

937
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 4: go on Facebook and little bit just because a lot

938
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 4: of you football platforms on Facebook. So other than that, man,

939
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 4: you get worn out with with with with social media.

940
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: You get worn out.

941
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 4: You don't know who's genuine and hopefully you know you

942
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 4: attract these people and people follow you because they're genuine fans.

943
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: But you have to be careful with shit, man, and

944
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: so I chill.

945
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 4: You can't make yourself as accessible like you can't go

946
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 4: to everybody's shit, You can't pull up at every function,

947
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 4: you can't do interviews with everyone. You can't go on

948
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 4: everybody's podcasts or do beats for everybody or do versus

949
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 4: for everybody, because you're burying yourself out. And then motherfuckers

950
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 4: be like this motherfucker again, you give me? Who wants

951
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 4: to hear this neck?

952
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: Again? You get so you can make yourself as.

953
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 4: Accessible to everyone as you think you should because of

954
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 4: the way social media has pushed the line of accessibility

955
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 4: for the common person to be able to hit up

956
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 4: a celebrity or or a musician or whatever. It's open season.

957
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 4: You get me.

958
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: This is my last question for you. I'm gonna see

959
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: if you really answer. Do you think that there are

960
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: some ogs who should probably put the microphone down.

961
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 4: There's a lot of OG's who have already put the

962
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 4: microphone down. There's a lot of people that you don't

963
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 4: see put me out music today, and I'm not gonna

964
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 4: name names, but there's a few. And then there's a

965
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 4: few who feel like they still have the ambition to

966
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 4: create good music because of what they're being forced to

967
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 4: witness as far as uh, what they have created and started.

968
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of niggas I look at

969
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 4: as OG's and hip hop who could still put our music,

970
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 4: you get me. I would still I still listen to you,

971
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 4: I still listen. I'd still listen to some iced tea.

972
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 4: I'd still listen to some Chubb Dy. I'd still listen

973
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 4: to some Easy if he was alive, you feel me. Uh,

974
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 4: there's a lot I still listen to some dubs. Some

975
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 4: still fie is still putting our music, you give me.

976
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 4: There's certain niggas that I would still be true fans

977
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 4: of putting out music. And then there's some dudes who

978
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 4: attempt and just not don't have it anymore, you get me, And.

979
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: So they might have to consider putting the mic down.

980
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And ain't nothing wrong with that either, man, y'all

981
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 3: make sure, Matt y'all Walton, get the ice Cube album. Man,

982
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 3: go streaming. Man, it's man up. It's actually in a

983
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 3: bad album. I'll actually listen to it. It got a

984
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 3: few dough tongs on there, but more than a few.

985
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 3: It's there's different cubes in a different place, and we

986
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 3: gotta stop it. Man Cube fifty six years old. No,

987
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 3: we can't expect him to be Cube. That was twenty one.

988
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 4: And music music is gonna go different. Whatever you did

989
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 4: in your teens and twenties, you're not expected to still

990
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 4: be doing in your forties and fifties. So thus you

991
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 4: have to evolve with the age and what and what

992
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 4: is expected now. People are still gonna expect you to

993
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 4: give them some of those true songs that they grew

994
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 4: up with. But you have to be able to adapt

995
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 4: and overcome. You feel me, Yeah, you know, speaking of

996
