Speaker 1: You're still doing Puma. I see you got Louise on
Speaker 1: what's going on? Absolutely, I'm wearing Puma, but I had
Speaker 1: to master the jacket. So what happens? You can in
Speaker 1: trouble if you wear Louis Patan shoes. Nah, because they're
Speaker 1: not a direct competitor of Puma. According to the the Article
Speaker 1: eleven a, Section three of my contract. As long as
Speaker 1: I'm not wearing any competitors, is it frustrating that you
Speaker 1: can't wear some fly jays? It isn't tool them quarterly
Speaker 1: checks coming, And I mean listen, man, Puma is on fire. Mann.
Speaker 1: You know, you know it's crazy. I might reanswer that sometimes,

Speaker 1: Puma Rude collab is super and I'm not only like
Speaker 1: collab is fire. Fucking Yeah. We got some ship at Puma, bro,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. We got some good ship at
Speaker 1: poo poos great now they're they're great, And we're number
Speaker 1: two behind Nike is as far as its most athletic
Speaker 1: gear and most sneaker soul. Literally we're number two behind
Speaker 1: Nike and we c and the dope thing about Puma,
Speaker 1: they're more like inclusive, like they'll get like a kid
Speaker 1: super or they'll get like uh rude, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They'll get like l like they work with.
Speaker 1: Who decides war? Like all the brands that's really the
Speaker 1: ones that's making shit move in culture. Who decides war?
Speaker 1: Who decides war? Who the white man? Not the white
Speaker 1: the white man, his last name is man, the white man,
Speaker 1: the white man. Uh yeah, shout out to Puma, Man,
Speaker 1: shout out to Puma. So me ask you something, uh
Speaker 1: huh when you like collaborate, cause a lot of art
Speaker 1: we see do these huge brand deals. Is there like,
Speaker 1: is there anything that like you're you? Because because I
Speaker 1: feel like you have a very like commercially viable image.
Speaker 1: If I'm a brand and I'm like I want to
Speaker 1: get somebody who's young, who's you know, tapped into the culture.
Speaker 1: But won't you know, fucking I don't know, go on
Speaker 1: Instagram live at three in the morning with an ak
Speaker 1: forty seven and threaten his ops knowing that you're kind
Speaker 1: of that guy. I don't know if that's a compliment.
Speaker 1: It is, Okay, of course it is. I know. I'm joking.
Speaker 1: Are you like, super like mindful of that when just
Speaker 1: moving around like day to day life? Like yo, like
Speaker 1: cause you I mean you said that, Uh? I mean
Speaker 1: what songs did you dropp last year? We were talking
Speaker 1: about was a pepsi that broke your coca cola? So
Speaker 1: you're you're doing shit that like a lot of artists
Speaker 1: can't do, you know what I mean? Getting getting bags
Speaker 1: that a lot of artists can't do. So, like when
Speaker 1: you're just thinking about your social media, you're thinking about
Speaker 1: just how you move around in the public eye or
Speaker 1: stuff you might say an interview use social media. Are
Speaker 1: you mindful of that? No? Not really, bro because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the music is still the
Speaker 1: engine that drives it off. Like you can be the
Speaker 1: cleanest motherfucker, but like if your music ain't hitting, then
Speaker 1: or if it's or you're not connecting with the people,
Speaker 1: then that ship, that opportunity doesn't exist. So I just
Speaker 1: I just like to be myself, bro, And I've never
Speaker 1: just been a gun slinging ass Nigga. I own guns
Speaker 1: several actually that you should with a license. You chect yourself. Cute.
Speaker 1: I got endless guns. You know what I'm saying, it's
Speaker 1: all super illegal. But I say this super illegal, no

Speaker 1: you're here, no, no, no, that's not legal. You got
Speaker 1: a good league. Yeah, I got send me all those
Speaker 1: all that. Hey, that's good though. Let people know they
Speaker 1: can't you know, not that I don't have any. Are
Speaker 1: some me all those legal in the South? I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. He would know his fully automatics are
Speaker 1: illegal everywhere, correct, everywhere. Yes, Yeah, I don't know he
Speaker 1: would know because he's yeah I thought so. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: yeah I got I got hell of ship bro in
Speaker 1: the South. Yeah. I fucking this guy right here was
Speaker 1: logging into my YouTube channel on our company laptop. Besides
Speaker 1: the fucked up porn history that popped up in my
Speaker 1: Google Internet, yeah, absolutely, my YouTube algorithm was just about
Speaker 1: machine guns and handguns. And I was like, what the
Speaker 1: fuck is going on because this fucking Second Amendment ass
Speaker 1: motherfucker over here searching how to take apart handguns and
Speaker 1: ship But I digress. But they're strapped up, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But the point is that I just I'm not never,
Speaker 1: not gonna be myself Bro for the sake of a brand,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying though, for the sake of
Speaker 1: But I turned down millions and millions of dollars Bro
Speaker 1: because it's like it's a brand that's kind of like
Speaker 1: off brand for me as a person, because it's like,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to just start selling ball clippers. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm say. I'm going to ask you. Don't
Speaker 1: tell me the company, but tell me the genre of
Speaker 1: bag you turned down. Is it an energy drink? Is
Speaker 1: it ball Clippers and it wasn't ball Clippers that. But
Speaker 1: but like, what give me like something that you've turned down?
Speaker 1: Just the industry. You don't gotta tell me what company
Speaker 1: was big as I turned down huge features because the artists,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, they like do like one hundred million
Speaker 1: monthly streams, but I just don't like the song and
Speaker 1: it might not be the best business decision, but it's
Speaker 1: just like, yo, I'm still an artist at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, and I try to just move with
Speaker 1: my heart. And it sounds fucking cliche and all this shit,
Speaker 1: but it's the guys down the store. I try to
Speaker 1: just move with my feeling, you know. But so it's
Speaker 1: the same with what about a brand? What kind of brand?
Speaker 1: What's what's the brand deal you turned down? What's a
Speaker 1: brand deal with? Yeah, a clothing brand? You gotta be
Speaker 1: more specific than that, is give me okay, let's just
Speaker 1: say a clothing brand I've turned that. Boozy wanted to
Speaker 1: come and have you bring back Jewel House clothing. He
Speaker 1: has a I rock that for years. You remember your
Speaker 1: house fight dt L all all over the country gap? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he said before you said no the gap is this
Speaker 1: before Kanye I didn't. I don't know before right when
Speaker 1: it was yeah no on the gap, Yeah were gap?
Speaker 1: Except yeah? But I know, yeah, hit you right now
Speaker 1: he's gone through some sort of you know, spiritual reawakening.
Speaker 1: He fucked up. You know, he's trying to bring back Easy. Hey,
Speaker 1: pray pray for ya, man, pray for ya. Hypothetically he
Speaker 1: kitched you, Cordy. I fucked up, man, I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: gotta get this Easy ship back popping. Would you like
Speaker 1: to be the face of the new season? I might.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think about that ship. Yeah, I'm gonna think
Speaker 1: about it. I'm gonna give him some serious consideration. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I just gotta see, you know, what the designs look like.
Speaker 1: But I ain't gonna be like, oh no, because everybody
Speaker 1: else is on some can't you know? I agree whatever
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a death. We consider it highly Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, and that's one of the forefathers,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So he is. He is
Speaker 1: one of the forefathers, in my opinion, the best discography
Speaker 1: and rap history. Highly. Yes, you you can put a
Speaker 1: good ass argument on that, A good ass I think
Speaker 1: it's Kanye whole. But I think Yay's got more class
Speaker 1: like certified, like undeniable classics. But hos up there. But
Speaker 1: I also think okay outcast, Yeah, for sure, o't cast,
Speaker 1: they don't miss Okay Kanye Okay, college drop out, late legislation, graduate, graduation.
Speaker 1: All three classics, yeah, all three of classics. Eight classic
Speaker 1: because it's yeah, yeah, my beautiful, my beautiful, dark twist
Speaker 1: of fantasy. That's file classic. Then we're going yes, which,
Speaker 1: in my opinion is I think Jesus it's I think
Speaker 1: you're confusing. I could be. I think you're not confusing.
Speaker 1: I think influential. Don't mean it's a classic. No, I
Speaker 1: actually think Jesus personally, for me, I love so I
Speaker 1: don't know to it's crazy. I don't think it's in
Speaker 1: consensus hip hop classic Okay, I think it's like for
Speaker 1: me personally, Okay, it's a classic. I got albums that
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's a classic to me, But that don't
Speaker 1: mean it's a classic to everybody you know for sure.
Speaker 1: But going back to the original point, just because I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get my thought off my bet if I
Speaker 1: cut you off of just like I'm I can't be
Speaker 1: a slave to the brand Bro, I say no to
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of incoming brands and feature everything. Bro,
Speaker 1: it just gotta be like whether I do a song,
Speaker 1: I gotta like really fuck with the song or that person,
Speaker 1: no matter how big or small they are, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If it's like a brand, it just
Speaker 1: gotta be on brand with who I am as a
Speaker 1: human being. Like Puma do Hella like community outreach shit,
Speaker 1: They do Hella charitable shit. They do Hella like give
Speaker 1: back stuff. And I used to wear Pumas in middle
Speaker 1: school because we used to wear uniforms in a public
Speaker 1: school and we had to wear all black sneakers, so
Speaker 1: I would have one the Pumas. They're affordable, So I
Speaker 1: really fuck with Puma. So that's why I rock with Puma.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They got plenty of Pumas
Speaker 1: in my closet. That's it. A lot more Jordans, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna change that for court Ay, thank you sir.
Speaker 1: When we'll see something, well, something I need to buy
Speaker 1: some high level pullmas is on the way for you,
Speaker 1: high level Pumas. How's the high level thing going? It's
Speaker 1: going great. We just need more artists, so how Does
Speaker 1: that work for you because you're obviously in full artist mode. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have a lot of personal life developments happening that
Speaker 1: are life changing. Yeah, do you have time to even
Speaker 1: search for artists? Yeah, it just got to be the
Speaker 1: one that I It's all about feeling, bro, just because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I can sleep at
Speaker 1: night if I turn down a certain amount of bread
Speaker 1: or a brand or a feature whatever, if I know,
Speaker 1: like I just went with what my heart felt, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, or what I really love or
Speaker 1: what moved me. So it's kind of the same with artists, bro,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to just sign artists just to
Speaker 1: sign them. I want to just have the model of
Speaker 1: like just have a few artists and we really like
Speaker 1: push behind them and I'm able to give them the
Speaker 1: stuff that I've learned, even though I'm still fucking I
Speaker 1: fuck up a lot, Like I'm a fuck up bro
Speaker 1: for sure, but I can acknowledge that and I just
Speaker 1: keep moving, you know what I'm saying. That's my goal.
Speaker 1: So and just you know, with Ace and the whole team,
Speaker 1: like pushing behind them. So just getting a couple of artists,
Speaker 1: you know, because if you turn down a deal. That's
Speaker 1: nobody lose a sleepover that. If you signed somebody and
Speaker 1: you don't do justice by them, that's a human being.
Speaker 1: That's a human being that's responsible. But when you sign
Speaker 1: an artist, you're kind of not even kind of you're
Speaker 1: responsible for that person. Yo. So you did a Ted
Speaker 1: talk that was like the biggest Ted talk of the year.
Speaker 1: YEA was that very Uh were you nervous preparing for
Speaker 1: that because that's a big deal to do it? Yeah, Bro,
Speaker 1: I was off. That's one of them shroom nights. Bro.
Speaker 1: Like when I had that bad, I was like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I got this Ted talk to do next week. Word
Speaker 1: that wasn't the mayor. It was a fucking It was
Speaker 1: a bunch of shit, bro, A bunch of shit. It
Speaker 1: was a lot of ship. But going back to the
Speaker 1: Ted talk, hmmm, I am that was something I wanted
Speaker 1: to do because I'm like, Yo, it's just some cool ship.
Speaker 1: And then when they actually reached out, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we want Cordiator to do a tech I'm like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: I didn't know, So what's the question again? Just like
Speaker 1: talking about preparing for that, like, you know, that's a
Speaker 1: big speech to write. A lot of I wrote a
Speaker 1: speech and then I sent it over to Ted Talk
Speaker 1: and they had like certain notes about it. And then
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, like I don't like what the they
Speaker 1: sent me, like, you know, edit notes like this is cool,
Speaker 1: but this ain't. And so I kind of started panicking
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I just want to write what I
Speaker 1: want to write, and so I just end up just
Speaker 1: doing that. I just ignored their notes and just deal
Speaker 1: with it. Was the biggest one, and it was the
Speaker 1: biggest one. You gotta do another one, no, not no

Speaker 1: dot com right now, use that promo code bootle. Like,
Speaker 1: let's get back to the interview for you what has
Speaker 1: been because I think that the number one thing artists
Speaker 1: have an issue with you mentioned it earlier is somebody
Speaker 1: could get a TikTok moment m hm, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they have fans. Yeah, right, you have done a
Speaker 1: good job of like developing a fan base. Thank you.
Speaker 1: What is the hardest part about like connecting with the
Speaker 1: people and making them give a fuck about you? Huh.
Speaker 1: Just it's gonna sound cliche, but I think it's just
Speaker 1: being yourself, bro, and not just giving the fuck about
Speaker 1: Like the numbers, you know what I'm saying. Like even
Speaker 1: like with my last album, I think it's because I
Speaker 1: dropped at the top of the year. I did twenty
Speaker 1: four k first week. Everybody reported at twenty I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna tweet and be like, no, Nigga ain't do twenty
Speaker 1: I did twenty four K, but whatever. So I did
Speaker 1: twenty four K, but I sold out ninety percent of
Speaker 1: a world tour in venues that's way bigger than motherfuckers
Speaker 1: that do triple the numbers that I do, right, you
Speaker 1: geel what I'm saying. So, what's the point of doing
Speaker 1: one hundred K first week if you can't sell out
Speaker 1: the Novo you know what I'm saying, or certain venues
Speaker 1: that I'm doing me as a with my little twenty
Speaker 1: four k, and I'm doing triple the venues, and those
Speaker 1: people also aren't turning down million dollar deals nah, for
Speaker 1: sure on a tens on conscious album, by the way,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I say this to
Speaker 1: say it's all about like what connects, you know, just
Speaker 1: making music from your heart that relates to a certain
Speaker 1: demographic or not even demographic, a certain niche people who
Speaker 1: are who just whoever is for. I'm I'm kind of
Speaker 1: at the place right now where I'm like, yo, bro,
Speaker 1: I just wanna make music. It's trans with this new
Speaker 1: shit I'm doing, Bro, I'm just more transparent than ever ever,
Speaker 1: more vulnerable than ever, more honest than ever. And whoever
Speaker 1: that connects to is who's that was meant to connect to.
Speaker 1: And if it didn't connect to them, I meant and
Speaker 1: if that doesn't connect to whoever, then it's not for
Speaker 1: you production wise? Who's on the new album? Because you've
Speaker 1: we've seen you in the studio with the Who's who?
Speaker 1: I want to say you were in with Dre and
Speaker 1: we didn't We haven't heard, but that sounds like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean so it says that's like the same story
Speaker 1: for like a million other artists. Yeah, everyone's like, yo,
Speaker 1: I was in with Dre. I'm like, can we hear
Speaker 1: the music? Hey, I'm happy with my flick. I'm happy
Speaker 1: with you got mom flick my mom got that ship
Speaker 1: framed and should But who's Who's got beats on the album?
Speaker 1: F n Z not sure if you ever heard of them?
Speaker 1: They're super cold at l Jacob my boy, Illy Holler,
Speaker 1: he's super tight. Who else? I can't think are you
Speaker 1: doing any production? Oh? Bongo bongo super hard T minus
Speaker 1: nice little lineup? Yeah cool little you know, Avenger Squad.
Speaker 1: What do we gotta do to get you in the studio?
Speaker 1: With the Alchemist. Oh, I did ship with Alchemists. We did.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to yo me and Alchemists will make a
Speaker 1: fire ass collab. You can take you a whole album. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm down for that all the way. Is that like
Speaker 1: because you're on You're on Atlantic Records, so like it's
Speaker 1: probably a little bit more difficult for you to be like,
Speaker 1: I want to do a fucking album with the Alchemist
Speaker 1: because now, because I was just paying myself, that's fair.
Speaker 1: Not that he'll even I don't even know what that
Speaker 1: will be because my argument, I paid for the beats.
Speaker 1: What do you I would love for you to do
Speaker 1: like a fool, even if it's not the Alchemist, just
Speaker 1: like one producer. Nah, for sure, I'm definitely like, that's
Speaker 1: one of my goals this year to drop a couple
Speaker 1: of those, like one from Alchemists, one with this artist,
Speaker 1: but Alchemists definitely at beside the Alchemist's house. Well, just
Speaker 1: me and that producer Metro would be super tight. I
Speaker 1: don't really I never met this nigga though, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: never met an album. Yeah, so great that thug first
Speaker 1: free Free Thug. I love the transition, he said. Every
Speaker 1: time we make it rain. It's a thunderstoring crazy. You know,
Speaker 1: the transition from that record into the future interlude afterwards. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm freaking, I'm geeking. That's just that's that's that's not
Speaker 1: any album. Metro is a culture curator. He's amazing. He's awesome.
Speaker 1: I think he's like I was thinking about this the
Speaker 1: other day, right because if we think about like, I
Speaker 1: think his new album is probably and this might be
Speaker 1: Recncy biased, but it feels like the best hip hop compilation.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you Recncy bias is the real thing. It is.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, when I'm listening to this new metro
Speaker 1: Booming album, I'm like, I'm not sure anyone has really
Speaker 1: ever done a better compilation, Like cal has never made
Speaker 1: an album better than that. Are we going down the
Speaker 1: line whoever's got compilation albums? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I just feel like this metro Booming album he purposely
Speaker 1: like built it around this cast of guys. Now he
Speaker 1: did that. He took drake off of one of the
Speaker 1: songs who take a break off. He did it for
Speaker 1: the art. It's fucking crazy. Yes, we gotta get you
Speaker 1: a metro boomer in Nah that'd be crazy fuck somebody
Speaker 1: who you worked with. Yeah, obviously he's in a tough situation.
Speaker 1: Uh for young Thug. That was on one of your
Speaker 1: kind of like holdover. Uh he does justin till ep
Speaker 1: Me and Thug got another joint in the can that
Speaker 1: I love a lot, that I actually like more to
Speaker 1: and What's Up. But What's Up just fit that. Uh,
Speaker 1: that that project a little bit better because I needed
Speaker 1: some tempo. But Thug man real one. Bro. He's always
Speaker 1: there whenever I need, like any advice, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, whenever I needed anything. But he's just super genuine.
Speaker 1: You guys recorded those together. Yeah, we recorded both of
Speaker 1: them together. What's his process compared to yours? Like, Man,
Speaker 1: I gotta I can't write when I'm with him because
Speaker 1: he does everything off the top. So I'm like, fucking
Speaker 1: I gotta do the same shit. But even if I
Speaker 1: were to like write some stuff, he's patient, he's with whatever,
Speaker 1: like with whatever. But I try to just keep up
Speaker 1: with him. That's my goal, to just keep up at
Speaker 1: the pace he records, but still come up with some
Speaker 1: cold shit right hard. You've been with a lot of
Speaker 1: artists who's got the fastest pace writing or recording thug thug. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fair. Who's on the new album? Besides, we got
Speaker 1: the new Anderson? But you and Anderson should do a
Speaker 1: new album together, by the way, like yeah, like like
Speaker 1: do like a ten pack. Yeah, that'd be crazy. Nah,
Speaker 1: it'll be. And you know what, it's because I think
Speaker 1: our chemistry on record is is so good. Because he's
Speaker 1: really like one of my best friends. I don't have
Speaker 1: too many friends. He's a great guy. He's one of
Speaker 1: my best friends for real. And so so Anderson's on
Speaker 1: the album. Who else? I'm not quite sure yet, And
Speaker 1: I don't want to say a name just because they
Speaker 1: might not make it or that song may not make
Speaker 1: it in a grand scheme. But I'll let you know.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be you don't know one other
Speaker 1: for sure, No, I don't. I swear you know the
Speaker 1: album coming out. I don't know what's the name of
Speaker 1: the album. I don't know. It's just an idea. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: is it coming out? And is it coming out by
Speaker 1: the summertime? Yeah? This shit okay? And you don't have
Speaker 1: to fucking name yet. Just tell me. I'd rather not
Speaker 1: say no. I'm dead ass. You don't know the name. No,
Speaker 1: I'm dead ass. You could just look at me and
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, Bro, I'd rather not say.
Speaker 1: I would rather not I don't know for sure. I
Speaker 1: don't know for sure. That's my answer, Like, I know
Speaker 1: the name what I'm thinking of, but it ain't that.
Speaker 1: I don't want to sit here and promote a name
Speaker 1: that ain't the name. No more. Was there Averse on
Speaker 1: this new album that you know the name of Averse?
Speaker 1: That song that you felt like you might have got
Speaker 1: bodied on Averse? Averse? I'm just now I'm fishing for
Speaker 1: guests rapper versus. Do you think there's somebody on your
Speaker 1: new album that might have bodied you on the song
Speaker 1: or came close or made you be like ooh that
Speaker 1: was close. Damn No, no like that. So what you're
Speaker 1: saying is everyone gave me throwaway verses on your album. Nah,
Speaker 1: niggas ain't do that, niggas. No, na, Nah, it's not
Speaker 1: too many feet. I literally got like two features, So
Speaker 1: you do know you have features, but they're not a lot. Bro. Listen,
Speaker 1: you know I don't like to say the feature into
Speaker 1: that paperwork. I'm kind of a jinx right, Like, if
Speaker 1: we're both walking and it's a pole, we ain't splitting
Speaker 1: that poll. Okay, you know what I'm saying. If it's
Speaker 1: a crack on the floor, I ain't stepping on that.
Speaker 1: Don't step on crack, you know what I'm saying. Just
Speaker 1: smoke it. It is as I say, it's very hard
Speaker 1: in La did and I step on some sort of
Speaker 1: crack somewhere. It's everywhere or it's more fetanol. Absolutely, But
Speaker 1: shout out to that fatty watch I mean, speaking of
Speaker 1: shout out, damn fuck that shit. Crazy. I wonder Fedi
Speaker 1: wap knew when he named himself that that there would
Speaker 1: be a drug like named after him, like eight years later.
Speaker 1: You know, that was like the most deadly shit ever.
Speaker 1: That's like killing all half of the country. Pretty crazy, Hey, obviously,
Speaker 1: very tragic. Let's switch speeds. Okay, very tragic situation happened.
Speaker 1: Happened in Memphis. Yeah, the young man who got killed
Speaker 1: by the five police officers. You were very much you
Speaker 1: got arrested protesting during the pandemic after the George Floyd thing,
Speaker 1: which was for Breonna Taylor, or it was for Breonna Taylor.
Speaker 1: But but I feel like that whole time, just the
Speaker 1: pandemic just is all mushed together. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: it was a blessing in the sense of like it
Speaker 1: really gave light to things that just always are happening.
Speaker 1: But because everybody was just standing still and not doing anything,
Speaker 1: it's like, no, this is just clearly super fucked up
Speaker 1: and it keeps going on. So I think it kind
Speaker 1: of helped highlight and catapult the movie. I was gonna
Speaker 1: ask you, like, obviously, protesting it's something that moves the
Speaker 1: needle because it forces people to see the ugly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two years removed from that, what are the things that
Speaker 1: you're kind of doing or involved in that are you
Speaker 1: know kind of that isn't necessarily on camera. I think
Speaker 1: it's just one step at a time, right, And it's
Speaker 1: just like whether it be just donating to the right
Speaker 1: cause it's talk trying to talk to the people who
Speaker 1: are in power to try to get it done. And
Speaker 1: I can do a lot more, you know, it's still
Speaker 1: everybody here. Yeah, for sure, it's what I don't want
Speaker 1: to sit here and act like a Marcus Garvey, you know,
Speaker 1: or whoever the case may be. But I think it's
Speaker 1: talking to the I don't know. I actually don't know
Speaker 1: the answers. Honestly, I just don't know. But we can.
Speaker 1: It's obvious it's a fucking problem. It's obvious. It's a
Speaker 1: big fucking problem. But I think it's the step that's
Speaker 1: talking to the people that's in position. I think the
Speaker 1: police broth. You know, the original police were slave hunters.
Speaker 1: Like actually, like the original police. It's a real this
Speaker 1: ain't shit. I'm just made like the original police. So
Speaker 1: the infrastructure is just fucked up because the same morals
Speaker 1: and values of the original police officers were for slave hunters.
Speaker 1: So now two hundred however many odd eighteen five, so
Speaker 1: two hundred plus years since slavery was abolished, even in
Speaker 1: the reconstruction era, Like, sorry for the history lesson, and
Speaker 1: I also want to make sure I'm yeah so boom
Speaker 1: so I said to say, the original police were slave hunters.
Speaker 1: So now that ship turned into this police construct that
Speaker 1: we have now, and a lot of the same morales
Speaker 1: and principalities are just embedded within the system. So that's
Speaker 1: why it's disproportionate. Yeah, it's it's it's it's like, if
Speaker 1: the system is broken, how do you tear it down?
Speaker 1: And rebuild it. Yeah, you know what I mean, because
Speaker 1: if you think about the Memphis thing, it's like it's
Speaker 1: a police thing. Like it's like these cops are like
Speaker 1: there there, it's the it's the institution even no matter
Speaker 1: what color. You know what I'm saying. Black police is
Speaker 1: just did something like that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's the institution that they're a part of, because
Speaker 1: the origins of the institution comes from racism. So this
Speaker 1: new project, because I feel like album number one you
Speaker 1: get the Grammy nomination. I actually liked your second album more,
Speaker 1: thank you, you know, and I just thought it was
Speaker 1: I thought it was more focused. I agree, I agree,
Speaker 1: it was more. My second album was more from It
Speaker 1: was more polished, Like the lyricisms is better, the songwriting
Speaker 1: was better. The construction of the album, like the sequencing
Speaker 1: of it was better. I think it didn't connect at
Speaker 1: the level that I wanted to because it wasn't as
Speaker 1: transparent and vulnerable. That's just my opinion. So this album,
Speaker 1: we don't even know what's going to be on the album. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't know. We including me, you're gonna be on
Speaker 1: the album? That'd be some weird flex metro it ain't
Speaker 1: even on my own album. I got everybody, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: ain't it, And I need my puck. Like you said earlier,
Speaker 1: you're pretty much just like Yo, I'm doing what's true
Speaker 1: to me at this moment, and whoever it connects to,
Speaker 1: who it's for absolutely, do you give a fuck though
Speaker 1: about Because when you come out the gate with a
Speaker 1: Grammy nomination, that's a pretty wild fucking thing to do. No,
Speaker 1: it's only like eight of us who like debut like
Speaker 1: debut album nomination. Yeah, it's got to be a gifted.
Speaker 1: The curse too, because now you're looked at it a
Speaker 1: certain light where it's like, well, if you can first
Speaker 1: I've got the Grammy nomination, you're gonna do it this
Speaker 1: next one. Do you let that pressure get to you
Speaker 1: or do you think about it or let it psy
Speaker 1: like you out at all? Nah? Bro, because I never
Speaker 1: I was never like the hottest nigga out when I
Speaker 1: first came out. It's always for me, it's just been
Speaker 1: like Booker, Blooker, Blooka, Blooker, Blooker, blooker. So it's been
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a weird noise, but whatever,
Speaker 1: I get it. But it's kind of just been steps
Speaker 1: at the step. But bro, I've only been in the game.
Speaker 1: There'll be four years since my first album, five years
Speaker 1: since I like people started to know my name and
Speaker 1: know my music and shit, and and so five years
Speaker 1: since King Kung Fu came out? Be five years in July?
Speaker 1: What year did I already see? So I've already seen
Speaker 1: so many artists just come and go. With this small five,
Speaker 1: it would be the artist that was the hottest. And
Speaker 1: I'm not saying no names because it's respect. As long
Speaker 1: as they able to feed their families, change their family lives,
Speaker 1: it's love. They still won. They still win as rap
Speaker 1: as the lottery. So any level of scess you could
Speaker 1: you could achieve, fucking is better than the rapper pool.
Speaker 1: Absolutely sure. So I said, I've done seen so many
Speaker 1: artists come and go. So I know for a fact
Speaker 1: I'm being able to make music at the highest level
Speaker 1: for the next twenty years and still be able to
Speaker 1: make a great living for the next twenty years off music.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that. It's just about how high
Speaker 1: am I gonna take? You? How high can I take
Speaker 1: this ship? And every year I've been leveling up and
Speaker 1: I've been able to see this literally from my first tour,
Speaker 1: I did five hundred cap rooms. My second tour, I
Speaker 1: did one thousand cap rooms. My last tour, I did
Speaker 1: two thousand cap rooms, you know, And that's where I
Speaker 1: kind of base my success that versus first week. These
Speaker 1: are real humans, it, Bro, that's a real fan because
Speaker 1: they had to leave their house, get a babysitter, maybe
Speaker 1: buy a ticket, right fucking get dropped off by their parents,
Speaker 1: get dropped, call a uber, take a shower, put on
Speaker 1: some fresh shit, didn't wait in line, no matter what
Speaker 1: the weather or not. Put on some fresh shit exactly
Speaker 1: to see you do what you love. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying versus like a number that can be skewed
Speaker 1: or falsified. Yeah, a lot of these fucking streams are fake,
Speaker 1: a lot of them. I mean, I would venture to say, sorry, Dwight,
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of these major label fucking artists,
Speaker 1: there's some sort of fucking little tick on the fucking
Speaker 1: numbers going on. Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it, bro. And
Speaker 1: the thing is, it's like I was saying, like, I
Speaker 1: don't it don't bother me, And I'm not just saying
Speaker 1: that because some shit does bother me. I'm a human
Speaker 1: fucking being. Bro. I got feelings in the motion, But
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother me with this because I'm seeing real
Speaker 1: life wins when I'm doing a sold out tour, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And that's that's that's the real
Speaker 1: shit that matters. So even when you're selling merch and
Speaker 1: you're you know, people are supporting you with their where
Speaker 1: they're that's the shit that d differentiate somebody who can
Speaker 1: catch a record, catch a moment, and there's somebody who
Speaker 1: can have longevity and pay their bills and sh you know,
Speaker 1: and open up a club and turn down million dollars
Speaker 1: deals from the gap. Absolutely never was a gap guy myself,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't even know that. It didn't even
Speaker 1: make it. It didn't even make it back to me.
Speaker 1: You should yell at him for that, now, that's cool.
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if the gap was knocking. I
Speaker 1: never knew that, honestly, what's up? You're gonn tell me
Speaker 1: about the gap that never came across my table? Really never, damn.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. But I say that to say, that's
Speaker 1: the stuff that don't don't even come to me that
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I say this to say,
Speaker 1: like I say no to a lot of shit, Bro,
Speaker 1: I just like to do what I'm passionate about, what's
Speaker 1: on brand for me as a human being, or what
Speaker 1: I love to do. Things I'm passionate about things I love.
Speaker 1: So it's cool, bro. Also, Yo, how did I not
Speaker 1: make your top ten list last shit? Bro? It's cool?
Speaker 1: On the which top ten list? Top ten rappers or
Speaker 1: top ten albums? Damn both. I ain't making me kid,
Speaker 1: It's cool, by the way, I just I'm not feelings
Speaker 1: about it. I'm just asking. I mean, I just didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't think you had. I mean it was a
Speaker 1: good year last year. I didn't think he had a
Speaker 1: top ten album last year. I think you had about
Speaker 1: a top twenty. Okay, I respect that. And on the
Speaker 1: rapping shit, I just think the wrapping list was tough, man,
Speaker 1: because there was a lot of Brodzer. There was a
Speaker 1: lot of rapping this nigga kevo. I didn't put ransom
Speaker 1: on my list. Listen, I did pay thirty eight specials too, though,
Speaker 1: because thirty eight specih was on five. You don't know
Speaker 1: thirty eight species trust Come on, bruh, Come on, bruh,
Speaker 1: what you gotta do some shit with her? What a
Speaker 1: lot of hey, listen, a lot of love to everybody, bro,

Speaker 1: write the fucking shit out of a song a songwriting ability, Yeah, lyricism,
Speaker 1: song I would say lyricism and bars to separate because
Speaker 1: you can put hooks and lyricism, bars songwriting. Yeah, impact
Speaker 1: on pop culture and influence. You talked about having a
Speaker 1: classic album. I just went viral on this podcast I
Speaker 1: was on because I said that I did not think.
Speaker 1: Now this goes back to the com station we had, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that there's albums that are classics to me. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I do think each one of these guys have those
Speaker 1: for me personally, but in terms of how like consensus
Speaker 1: hip hop classics and nobody could say shit about which
Speaker 1: of my chronic get Rich of I trying my beautiful
Speaker 1: dark twist of fantasy, good Kimas City. I don't think
Speaker 1: Drake or j Cole have a classic in that In
Speaker 1: that manner, I would disagree heavily. So which one we're
Speaker 1: gonna say? Take care in Fourteils Drive, right, I would
Speaker 1: go Four Sills Drive for sure, classic album. Bro. I
Speaker 1: think even amongst like the like, non negotiable. For sure,
Speaker 1: that's a classical album. And I'd agree with that one
Speaker 1: over any Drake album. For the rest. Nothing was the
Speaker 1: same as a classic album to me, it is. I
Speaker 1: think it's his best album for sure. Tusci O look crazy, amazing,
Speaker 1: just blaze b too right it is. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know honestly. So that's a classic to me.
Speaker 1: And I just don't think everyone sees it that way.
Speaker 1: Who's everyone though? Who is everyone? I mean, if you
Speaker 1: were to take a room full of fucking one hundred
Speaker 1: motherfuckers who are somehow you respect their opinion about hip hop?
Speaker 1: I don't think everyone would agree with that. I think
Speaker 1: everyone would say get Richard Dye Trying is a classic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think there you'd find a soul that'd be like, nah,
Speaker 1: you're crazy, you find mockers just to say it, so
Speaker 1: you think nothing was the same as a classic? Bro?
Speaker 1: To me, it is, yeah, take Care as a classic
Speaker 1: to me. I actually like other j co shit more
Speaker 1: than Force Hills Drive M. I love cole Man. Shout
