11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: being hand about the documentary? Yeah, documentary is officials coming out.

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: Though you have original for this from back when you

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: were actually doing that album. Yeah, we got some stuff though,

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: but the way we're doing this one is like it's

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: it's different and it's more like us building to y'all.

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: It ain't like accolades and all of that. It's more

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: like y'all talking to us now the beginning. When you

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: crafted that album twenty years ago, did you think it

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: would not only staying the test of time that it had,

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: but it was it was a hip hop classic. When

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: you was doing it. I felt like that I was

22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: in my prime. Um you know, when you're making your

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: first album, you know that shit that should number one

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: right there. So I was just giving y'all a reflection

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: of what I was seeing coming up, and um, I

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: felt good about it. After I made it, I was,

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, I was. I didn't even want videos. I

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: wanted a whole flick, you know, when they was like

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: they was thinking a brother was going too far dreaming,

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, But I was just feeling like that because

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: it was different. You know, I made it different. I

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: wanted it to be different because I felt like, you know,

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: everybody had their own style out there, and I just

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: wanted to come with something new. There is a dude

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Beach specifically for that album, or didn't he just have

36
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: stuff like that in the stash already? Um nah, he

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: you know, he definitely, you know, it was doing a

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: lot of things to it, you know, changing up Beach.

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: One thing about Raw when he was making Beach, it

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: was like you might have run to this and it

41
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: came out to be something like that. So you know,

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: some of the beasts, like Glaciers of Ice, they was different.

43
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: It was different. Now let's talk about the new album

44
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: Flight International Luxurious all right, in particular the sound that

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: you did with Asap Rocky I Got Money. You really

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: brought him into your chamber. It's not like you tried

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: to be, you know, do something that's not you. It

48
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: really was like an updated flavor for Ray Kuan from

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: back in the day. But it's modern. But it's not like, oh,

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: this isn't no. It sounds like you really put a

51
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: step Rocky on something that sounds like a ray Kuon beat. Yeah.

52
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know, I'll just get up

53
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: in there and just do what I feeling. I felt

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: like that b cater to the young audience. Um, you know,

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: I just felt like he could rock it. You know.

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: Of course we had a relationship already in the past

57
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: on working on stuff, and I just felt like, you know,

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: let me connect with the young you know, and somebody

59
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: from my town. You know. I like what he's doing.

60
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: He a thoroughbreak good person, you know, like yo, I

61
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: think he can rocket now. He stayed in the You

62
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: stayed independent on this one. Now, you were probably one

63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: of the first artists that went independent and that was

64
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: successful going independent when you dropped album, So you're not

65
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: you're not going back to me. It's not gonna happen. Huh.

66
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: Right now, you know the control fact, I can't even

67
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: I can't even let nobody be my boss right now.

68
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta be cutting a big, big, big,

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: horrific check, a scary one where I gotta make that decision.

70
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: One of the first, one of the first one to

71
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: be successful as a rapper to do it because he

72
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: was because you know, most of these rappers, the South

73
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Houston me, I mean from Midside to really do independent

74
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: on his own and be very successful doing it. But

75
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: you had a lot of guest appearances on this album

76
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: as well. So how does that work? Do they just

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: say favorite for favor or you know, I know you

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: got the budget that you opened them up. It's it's

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: probably different when you got to spend your own money now,

80
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, definitely relationships is important on you

81
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: know a lot of dudes, they wouldn't even take my money,

82
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: right you know, you know a lot of dudes they

83
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: called me. You know, I don't ask for money. You know,

84
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: if your label called me, then yeah, I want some money.

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: That's the pleasure of being independent of your label calling me.

86
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: What you call me and me and you you know,

87
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: we were cool like that. I might ask for a dollar,

88
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 1: you know, she'll give me a dollar. Do you feel

89
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: the need that you said, you said you have to

90
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: be that cater to the young folks. Do you feel

91
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: the cat to the young crowd? You have to, you

92
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: know when you when you're doing business, and you know

93
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: that you know, because we we we we nineties dudes.

94
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: So you know a lot of these dudes they just

95
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: heard of us. You know, they heard from Nate brothers

96
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: or mothers or fathers or whatever. But yeah, you have

97
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: to transition yourself a little bit to really adapt to

98
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: what's going on, you know, in order to stay relevant.

99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Rather is it hard. Do you have to dumb down

100
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: a little bit or not? I ain't dumbing and I'm

101
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: just being me man, just giving them what they know.

102
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of times dudes are want to

103
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: do something with us based on the fact of the

104
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: reputation that we were carrying a business. So if you're

105
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: winning across an artist that you know it's very successful

106
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: and you want to come up and you know he's

107
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: still out there. You know, dudes want to work with you.

108
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: They you know, they feel like it's an honor to

109
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: do that. Who are some other people that you like?

110
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: Now that's young? I know you guys like Drake because

111
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: obviously Drake paid homage to Booting as well. But who

112
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: are some other terrible record though by the way, he

113
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: sloated yours down way too much. Can't turn it Twitter

114
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: love song like love songs though, sole music, all of that.

115
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know I'm heavy on that, you know, Yeah, yeah,

116
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: I definitely said I definitely want to heard the beat.

117
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, it could be a little iller though,

118
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, I felt like that. But who else do

119
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: you like? Now? Like what new artists were you like?

120
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: Okay about to that? Like Chinks? You know, I think

121
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: Chinks is a dope young g coming up doing this thing.

122
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: Um a couple of cats, you know, few cats from

123
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: all over Dave East Okay, yeah, I think he liked

124
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: one of the new top dudes coming out. You still

125
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: a Toronto from from Um, I still got something. I

126
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: had to let a couple go though, you know, you

127
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: know they was lacking in certain departments and I ain't

128
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: in the force and nobody to you know, to win

129
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: if you don't lazy, you know how that be you know,

130
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: just just you, you know, you want to you try

131
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: to coach dudes and tell them they gotta work real

132
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: hard because you know, hit records don't just come overnight,

133
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: you know. And my thing is, if you don't get

134
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: it and you're not really ready to think like that

135
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: or network, when I'm when I'm setting you up with

136
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: these plays for you to get on it, and you're not,

137
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: You're showing me right there you don't want it. You

138
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: think it was harder when you were coming up because

139
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: it required a lot more legwork to blow up a

140
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: lot more talent, Yeah, a lot more talent at more

141
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: leg work, and it feels like it's a lot more oversaturated.

142
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: And I also feel like sometimes people think things come

143
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: a lot quicker and easier because they just go online

144
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: put out stuff. They just all they gotta do is

145
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: flood the internet, go on Twitter, you know, go on

146
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Instagram and all of that. You think it was a

147
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: lot harder. Um, I think it was harder for us,

148
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: right for you. It's easier right now for everybody. It's

149
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: just all about you know, having content and just trying

150
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: to be a net you know network, you know, everything

151
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: is about networking. You know, a lot of times all

152
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: this come in and they think, oh, I just gotta

153
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: rhyme and that's it. You know that ain't know all

154
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: you gotta do. You know, you gotta build relationships. You gotta,

155

156
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: guess I feel like that now because now I understand

157
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: how the labels was looking at us back then, like

158
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: you know, and we just was doing whatever we wanted

159
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: to do. But it's important though, when you when you

160
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: want to win. I think from the from the whole,

161
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: from the whole woll clan. I think you're probably the

162
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: one that got it early because you You're probably the

163
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: one that's recognizable, that goes out every night that I

164
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,880

216
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: just following woutang. But that's all part of that road life,

217
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: you know at that time, at that time, does it

218
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: bother you that is he trying to get it? You know,

219
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,240

220
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,360

221
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: dudes is always moving. Man. You just did Coachella, which

222
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: was huge. Yeah, chef just did that, Me and Goest

223
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: eighty five thousand. He Why do you think hip hop

224
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: can't have the same thing that like rock and roll

225
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: has with a rolling stones, can still go out there

226
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: and tour. I mean we could. I mean it's just

227
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: all about, you know, making sure everything is organized, you

228
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: know that to be dope to see that, you know,

229
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: I always believe that it's possible. You know. It's just

230
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: all about connecting with the artist. It's like when y'all

231
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: do big shows, you know, y'all y'all tally them up.

232
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: It's like you need to see more of that, while

233
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: wait will only do it once a year, right. I

234
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: think hip hop is younger than rock and roll too,

235
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: so we'll get to that point where, you know, twenty

236
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: years since the only built for Cuban links and it's

237
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: still something that you could go out and do and

238
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: do forty five shows off. This much difficult because somebody

239
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: originators can't go out there and tours. It's very difficult

240
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: for them, very difficult for them. I just like, we

241
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: don't think we support ourselves. And I think in our genre,

242
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: if we get older, it's like, oh they whacked. Yo.

243
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: I feel like if it ain't this air that does,

244
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna happen. If it ain't wut they can

245
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: do it now as they can do it. Yep. You

246
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: know Hole still does it. But it's like if this

247
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: er can't do it, I don't see it. I don't

248
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: see it happening. Yo. The music, it's all about the

249
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: music though. If the music is timeless the people, you know,

250
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: I guess for us, you know, we could still tour

251
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: file first albums. You know, I made a lot of

252
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: money just singing the joints that everybody want to hear,

253
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: you know, and not. And sometimes I'll be I'll be like,

254
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm tired of doing them. I want to

255
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: do new stuff, but this is what they request. You know,

256
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: you can't go to a key sweat join and don't

257
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: think that you ain't gonna hear I want all you know,

258
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: you trust you know you want those. So we just

259
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: we just have to get the fans what they want.

260
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, you said you feel well. I read somewhere

261
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: where you said you feel better now than you did

262
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Yeah, just you know, just mentally physically.

263
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's just all about knowing your cloth. Now

264
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand my brand. You know, you

265
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: couldn't feel a certain kind of way if you ain't

266
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: have a brand. Me knowing how internationally this brand is,

267
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm just trying to go out there and

268
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: do what I was supposed to do. You don't. I

269
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: don't just do this for me. I do this for

270
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: you know, the flagship or the crew, you know, because

271
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: I know that it can help all of us, you know,

272
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: as long as they just know somebody moving. It's like

273
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: Wou Chang is always gonna be in the air. Right.

274
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 1: But made you realize you had to be an entrepreneur um, Like,

275
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: was there a point when you were like, Okay, this

276
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. I'm not getting this and I'm supposed to

277
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: get this should be happening. I need to know what's

278
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: going on with my business. Was there a point time

279
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: when you just realized, didn't say, Okay, I need to

280
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: get this in orders, in order, this in order? Yeah,

281
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, just just feeling like at some

282
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: point you be getting jerked in the business. You wake up,

283
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, you're like, yo, hold on, let me focus

284
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: and really pay attention to what's going on. You know

285
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: that that might have been for me back in like

286
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: ninety eight ninety nine, my second album, you know, because

287
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: once Loud, once Loud did whatever, it didn't diminished. It

288
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: was like I went to UM, I went to another

289
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: set over there by Universal, and you know they was

290
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: kind of scared of me because they didn't know what

291
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know, so but me trying to

292
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: still be humbling, you know, let them dictate what they

293
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: may think is right. It's like I failed, you know,

294
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: so announced like I can't even really I gotta go

295
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: with what I feel right now. Is that the reason

296
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: the Mobilarity was so different from I wanted it to

297
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: be different. I want every album to be different. I

298
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: don't never want it to be like, you know, you're

299
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: gonna keep getting the same style for me, you know,

300
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: I guess that's I always want every album to be

301
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: even from this one. This one is like, this one

302
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: ain't built on a concept. This one is just lifestyle

303
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: right here. Just you seeing me twenty years later, still

304
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: giving y'all great music, you know, still keeping it where

305
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: y'all would expect me to keep it, and you know,

306
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: still still intertwining with the new Nah. This ain't got

307
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: nothing to do with them. They ain't coming with the

308
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: right back. I'm keeping a hunting. I ain't gone against them.

309
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: You know, I thought it would have been a dope move.

310
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: But you know, my thing is if you want you want,

311
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: you want support, you go out and ask for you

312
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: gotta less support, show you how it works. You know,

313
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: you can't try to act like you want support, but

314
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: then you know everything. It's like then what you want

315
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: support for? You know. And we talked about we talked

316
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: about some of the different stuff, you know, doing some

317
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: lines and all. I guess they just ain't really get it. Yeah,

318
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: they ain't understand. Now. What about that last Wooting album

319
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: that lest an event? Yeah, but I didn't host it.

320
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny. I bought a better Tomorrow

321
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: when it came out, and I literally just started listening

322
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: to it like two weeks ago. I don't know why.

323
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: I was like, what, I never listened to Better Tomorrow,

324
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: And I was surprised. It was really dope, like really

325
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: dope people talking to talking about it. It was different though,

326
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it was it had a lot

327
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: of positive messages in it, you know, which that's what

328
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Rizal wanted to do. But um, you know, it was

329
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: just something that he wanted to do. All were you

330
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: with that project a little bit? You know, we was

331
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: still going through our little thing, me and me and

332
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: Woo Chang management. You know, everything cool now, I mean,

333
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, not really I was still ain't right, you know,

334
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: but we talking, conversation is open. I mean, these are

335
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: my brothers, man. At ends of the day, you know,

336
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't never look at them like the enemy,

337
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, regards to what we go through. I think

338
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: it's just more like we don't understand each other fully yet.

339
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: Business wise, maybe you don't connect. Yeah, business wise, we

340
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: don't you ever think that. Maybe y'all have grown apart,

341
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: but y'all still trying to keep it together just because

342
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: it's the woll it be like that, I mean, you

343
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 1: can't walk. It's hard for me to walk away from

344
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: something that that that that made me. You know, I

345
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: wasn't cut from that cloth to just not acknowledge that.

346
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: You know. One thing about us is like, well, argue

347
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: with you know, go all the way there, but we

348
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: won't physically take it there because you know, when if

349
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: it becomes that, then it's like it won't never come back,

350
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, because we need those type of dudes. It's

351
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: like it's always going to haunt us. Like, yo, you

352
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: you got we got it in so I would never

353
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: I would never respect you know more. But you know,

354
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's brotherhood. Man. It's like,

355
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, for somebody who got a big family, brothers

356
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: and sisters, and you know sometimes you love your family

357
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: from distance. You're like, yo, stay over there. I'm gonna

358
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: stay over here, you know. But we don't wish each other.

359
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: You know, I don't wish you know, I ain't down

360
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: for that. I don't, you know, because I know when

361
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: you go get a bag, you go home to you

362
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, my nephews, you know, catching the crew got

363
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: names after you know, they you name make seeds after.

364
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: Everybody's family is really tight. With each other. So it's

365
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: like you can't just yeah, you can't just walk away

366
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: from that. You know. That's one thing about us. We

367
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: ain't gonna never let money. You know. I'm gonna type

368
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: of dude like this if you if you take something

369
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: from me and it's swing some money and I love you,

370
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: it's like, I look at that was a way for

371
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: me to you know, see who you are. So it's

372
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,239
Speaker 1: like if the money was the issue, I know who

373
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: you are now. You know, some people just get addicted to,

374
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, feeling like that's how they gotta handle each

375
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: other's by robbing your friends, you know what I mean. Like,

376
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: if that's what you gotta do, bro, then yo, I

377
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: guess the money. You know, I ain't letting money. I

378
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: ain't letting money over overcome who I am right as

379
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: a person. You know that I ain't gonna do business

380
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: with you if the money, Yeah, you know, shame on

381
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: shame on you the first time. You know, I go

382
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: shame on me the next. It's better, Like, Yo, let's

383
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: just stop doing business. We can remain friends. I prefer

384
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: that sometimes even doing business today it's like, you know,

385
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: I let it, dude. No, Like if you feel like

386
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: the business is going to mess up the friendship, then yo,

387
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: just keep it moving. But I can't work with somebody

388
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, I don't like you, and we get money,

389
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: but it's hard because people want to hear the music.

390
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: They want to hear, they want to hear, they want

391
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: to see the clan together like they want to see it.

392
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: So it was hard, you know, because I know you've

393
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: got people fans coming to you every day, like when

394
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: you're doing another album, when you're going on the road again.

395
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: And not to mention that other guys in the group,

396
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure for some people they are dependent on the

397
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: whole entire group coming together because you know, definitely certain

398
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: members sold more records and have more recognition than others,

399
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: so it kind of helps other people out in the group.

400
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: If you're like, Okay, let's go do this together, it

401
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 1: hurts when certain members aren't gonna do it. Yeah, I mean,

402
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: but you know, it's it's all about organizing. You know.

403
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: You can't you can't put somebody in a situation that

404
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going on. That's like, you know,

405
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: it's like you over there, envy, you got something going on.

406
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: But collectively, y'all, you know, y'all used to rolling with

407
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: each other, but it ain't them days no more. So

408
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: now when you're over there doing what you're doing, you know, yeah,

409
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: something kind of the table where they know that it

410
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: can happen, but at the end of the day, you

411
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: don't even know what's going on, you know. And then

412
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure that if it's your criteria where

413
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: you at it, you can't just be forcing it because y'all,

414
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do that. It's like,

415
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: at least give me the benefit of the doubt of

416
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: knowing what you're doing, you know, and then come back

417
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: to me. You know, we've been plenty of times where

418
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: we all sacrifice, you know, just to make sure we

419
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: all eat. But you know that could only go but

420
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: so farsome. It's hard with a team, man, because it's like,

421
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, bigger than the teams. That's the best way.

422
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: But like you said, it's difficult because charlemagn't go one way,

423
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: Ego one way. I go one way. And you know,

424
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: we all have families that we gotta supports. What about

425
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: this album that's not supposed to be released for another

426
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: seventy five years or something like that I can't even really,

427
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: I can't elaborate on that. Have you heard it? Um? Nah, yeah, no,

428
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm want I want you know, these are these are

429
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: records that was dusted off from me back in a day.

430
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: But um, you know, no, I ain't really hear it

431
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: like that. You and the originally y'all, y'all seem to

432
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: class musically. Was it always like this? Nah? I wasn't,

433
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, But then again it was though, you know,

434
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: it was we always was collectively down with the production side,

435
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, because we could we could feel a great

436
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: record when we hear it. You know, that's my thing.

437
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: I would I would sit in a classroom and look

438
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: at Rizzard like the teacher. But you know, you still

439
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: got to say something to the teacher sometimes if you

440
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: ain't feeling it right, you know. And I think that

441
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: he was just you know, at the level where he

442
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: felt like he was making everything that was knowing improven.

443
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: We was like, nah, mean that ain't it, you know?

444
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: And I just was the one that outspoken one, because

445
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, I believe that you know, when any MC

446
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: that's nice, he gonna always be nice, you know. But

447
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: if he gets the proper production, he could be he

448
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: could be around you know more, And that's of my thing.

449
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: You know, when everybody look at the Woo they know

450
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: we capable of. I just wanted to have the brankets

451
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: that had the energy, you know that, you know that

452
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: the fight music that everybody wants. Not saying that he

453
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: can't be rounded. I mean, of course, but let's let's

454
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: still give them something that we all feel good about,

455
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: not just one dude, because I always think about that,

456
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: because he like there is always said that he had

457
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: full control. But none of the Woo Tank projects sounded

458
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: the same like Dirty Y album didn't sound like Yaws,

459
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: y'alls didn't sound like meth, Meth didn't sound like Yeah.

460
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know at that time, everybody was really

461
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: hands on and and being hands on with the project.

462
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: You know nowadays, with that particular project, it was just

463
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: racing foot, you know, race to get something out there,

464
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: when really that ain't how we normally do things. It's

465
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: probably different if you're in the studio together working something

466
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: than it is when you're sending stuff through email and

467
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: when you when you're making when when you were group

468
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: like Wout Chain Clan, you got to take time and

469
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: do it together you know, you know it's different when

470
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: you're doing your own things, then you could do it

471
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: the way you want to. But when because you know,

472
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: everybody want to make sure that you know, we like

473
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: the music, you know, if it's something that I made

474
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: or whatever or that's on the record, and um, you know,

475
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: I want to know how they all feel. I don't

476
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: want it to just be up there because it's like

477
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: me and Rizza felt like that. NA, I need to

478
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: know how you feel about it. You might say, Yo,

479
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: that ain't nick or yo. You know I could take

480
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: it right, so you know how to go. You know,

481
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: it's just all about everybody being there at one time

482
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: and just getting it in. Now. I'm waiting for this

483
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: bout ten biopick or something to happen because you see

484
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: they have the NWA one. Did I know, y'all have

485
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: got to talk about and you know that's something that

486
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to too. You know, it's a it's

487
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: a it's a mean story behind us, man. I guess

488
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, I guess should have happened when it's time.

489
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, when I think about the NWA story, like

490
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: it almost took them like twenty five years to really

491
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: really tell it the way they want to tell it.

492
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's important to have a great director,

493
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: you know that really is willing to look in because

494
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: I tell anybody, be like when when when we came together,

495
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: it was like putting something together that wasn't meant to happen,

496
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: but it was meant to happen, you know, imagine you know,

497
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: It's like I tell tell dudes, you know when Rizzard

498
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: started calling anybody like you you you you you're coming

499
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: to studio. You know. We wasn't even we wasn't even

500
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: rapids like that. We just loved We loved the art

501
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: of it. We grew up in it. So it was

502
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: like I might have had a little bit of skill,

503
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: but I had a lot of hip hop in me,

504
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: you know. And he knew my potential. He knew certain dudes,

505
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: you know, certain dudes that was just around. Dudes got

506
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: put on you know master Killer, you know that's my brother.

507
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: He was with Jizza. You know, we loved him so much.

508
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, come in, you know what I mean.

509
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: His heart was was where it's supposed to be. And

510
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: it's like I've never seen a group made like this

511
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: before when first started, Yeah, you gull was locked up.

512
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: He just came home only had eight balls. He only

513
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: had like eight balls in the first up. Now he

514
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: always had heat thought. I mean, you know, it's just

515
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: that he was away. You know, he came out, he

516
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: was fresh, he had the afro. You know, you know,

517
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: he just had only a little bit of time to

518
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: make it happen. And that's what it was. You feel

519
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: like the artist, like Wu Tang and yourself set the

520
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: ball too high for New York that nobody's been able

521
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: to reach. You Like the next err just could not

522
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: do what Wu Tang did, what Nas did, what Jay did,

523
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: what boot Camp Click did. It just couldn't. Some things

524
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: just ain't gonna be duplicated, you know. And I think

525
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: that we wanted them type of group. Stat already, you're

526
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: not gonna get one of those, forget it. You know.

527
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: It's the same way I look at You're not gonna

528
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: get a run DMC. You know you're not gonna get

529
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: a NAS like that. You know, Um, you know, it's

530
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: just it's just all about your heritage, what you come from.

531
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you come from music the

532
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: way we come from it, and you understand what it's about,

533
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: you know that's why I respect documentaries, because documentaries from

534
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: great artists it you know, it kind of like puts

535
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: you in perspective to see what they're going through. You know,

536
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: Like I was chilling yesterday. I was with Iced Tea.

537
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: I was at his crib. You know, he got this

538
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: podcast that you do, so you know, he, you know,

539
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: the legend out there, he doing what he's doing it

540
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: and surrounding his fan base next him, and you know,

541
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: we was going back and forth in stories, and a

542
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: lot of stories that he was saying was like I

543
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: was familiar with it, Like damn, it seemed like he

544
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: he telling my life, you know. And to me it's

545
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: just so important though, you know, because you really see

546
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: the greatness in the artist when you can see his story. Right.

547
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: And you talked about bringing Nazi stat in Island for

548
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: the first time to record for the album and everything. Yeah,

549
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure y'all had a lot of people coming to

550
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: stating now nah, And I really don't nah, not really really.

551
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: Staton Allen was hot. Nobody want to get on the

552
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: ferry or whatever. Nobody you don't want to get stat now.

553
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: And you know, stat now is another another type of

554
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: another type of place, you know. I mean some cats

555
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: came through of course though, you know Smith and Wesson,

556
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, dudes that really relate to the streets. But

557
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: we never really want the brain dudes around it, you know.

558
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 1: You know one time on one of my homeboys got

559
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: locked up and they threw them in the sale with

560
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: with with theces and all that they was playing them like,

561
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: because they knew he wasn't from there. So I don't

562
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: recommend dudes to go out there like that even now.

563
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: Still it's probably worse right now. You think nobody else

564
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: came out of Stanton knowledge. You think nobody else came

565
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: out of Staton knowledge, Um, like no other rappers. There

566
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: was a couple, yeah, you know, a couple of cats

567
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: tried though, but um, it's just all about the work ethic, man,

568
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: you know, from standing Yeah, I mean, I guess it's

569
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: just because they wasn't really putting it all the way down,

570
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: you know. It's you know, this is the one thing

571
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: about this sport right here. You gotta be out there,

572
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: you know. Um, I tell anybody and anybody from stating

573
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: now and that I love you. Gotta go out people,

574
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: gotta see y'all more, you know, you know, um, the music.

575
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: You just gotta make what it takes to show everybody

576
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: what it is. I tell anybody, if you make, if

577
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: you come out of stating owl and you do so much,

578
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: and I feel like it's enough for me to support

579
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna support you. So it's like it's like

580
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: I give dudes that card, like, just show me what

581
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 1: you could do. Show me, you know what I mean,

587
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: of talent out there, you know, but it's about that work.

588

Speaker 1: this year. You just dry the new album. Like I

591
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: feel like the ball was dropped for the thirty six

592
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: Chambers into the Wood tag when it was that twenty

593

Speaker 1: year There was no doct about that, man, you know.

594
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's just, you know, like I said, dealing

595
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: with a with a with a franchise team be everybody

Speaker 1: and the right people making sure we all on the

598
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,360

00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: You know, you can't talk though half of us and

600
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: then expect the others have to understand and we not
